What M | he said and what mother said about the brown puppy asleep in the basket in the animal store man's window is going to stand him in great stead on the day he writes his thesis on the psychology of domestic animals. I am sure it will. You see, it a child learns to talk about what intrests him and those about him, he is going to keep open the lines of communication between him and bis neighbors as long as he lives. So few people understand how to talk to a serious child—one just past seven, They think they have to find a topic and dilute it a hundred-to-one. The child is greatly embarrassed and | wigeles away as soon as possible. He thinks that person scarcely right tn the head. It is always wiser to wait for your cue from half-past seven and then talk up to it in your best style. 1f 1 couldn't talk to my own chil. dren because there were so many other things to do I would hire some- body like Maude Adams to do it for me.

Most fires are genrelly small ones, being a disappointment to the audients and a releef to whoever owns the house. Firemen would do a lot of damidge squerting water through your windows cven if therc wasent any fire in there. Running after a fire engine is some of the most fun there is. The most ixciting way is to keep velling to the firemen asking them ware the fire is, only they are genrelly too bizzy going | there themselfs to nser you. thus | the firemen on the next fire engine to see ir they will tell you. wich they wont. Wen the fire engines go in the direction of your skool it adds to the ixcitement and also to the disappoint- ment, skools being the last places to catch on fire, if ever. Moving pick- ture places are amung the easiest to catch on fire and the saddest to see berning. One of the most diskusting feelings is to be running to a fire and wonder- ing if you will get there before the firemen and then meet the fire engines coming back. ¥iremen have a easy life wen there izzent eny fires, jest setting in the frunt door of the fire house tawking about the times wen there was. On the other hand they can never tell wen_they will haff to get up in the middle of the nite to go to a fire when they dont wunt to, not realizing there is thousands of fellows who would like to get up and go to it but aint allowed to. reveals its del Most interesting Fall styles worn for last featured day of polo matches at Meadowbrook were expressed in celor, .
