This 1s why he should never for a moment have ceased to keep watch. Now Reddy wasn't the only hunter abroad that night. In fact, there were several. But there was one to whom the snow made no difference in getting about. Great Horned Owl. Hooty was hungry, for he had not been able to hunt the night before on account of the snowstorm. So his great, fierce eves looked even fiercer than usual as on his noiseless wings he hunted through the Green Fowest.

Without suf- ficient sleep any child will get nervous, and the food which usually agrees will seem to be re- | sponsible for indigestion The first three months of a baby's life consist, or should consist, of little else than sleep, with intervals for eat- ing and being bathed. Of course, these periods will take several hours of each 4. It is said that babies should be ndled as little as possible during these months. Expressions of Love. While it is inceed true that too much cuddling and caressing is not good for any baby, it S0 Wrong to make a mother stifle the yearnings for such expressions of tender love altogether.

Moderation Wise. The truth lies between extremes, and it is exemplified in this instance. A mother should not lavish caresses | on a haby when to do so means that that child will not be so healthy. Over- cuddling is a risk. But, on the other d, a little loving in moderation harms no healthy baby. Hours of Sleep. To permit a baby to lose his sleep is another thing. There is nothing of more ue to the wee baby than }nlsm\' of sleep. And as the child grows older he still needs it. After 6 months 16 hours is thought to be the least that is wise for him to have until 9 months or a r old.

A frame will either enhance a pi ture or spoil its effect. Bu that are in keeping with the | tent pic- {ture. The great artist Whistler em. | ployed an expert to do nothing but design frames for his pictures. It's not uncommon to find that a frame is more valuable than a picture. A | s00d frame is made of hardwood that won't P or chip, and it is securely Jointed. Colored rames or ilded frames, are to be avoided if they're too gaudy. Choose a frame that presents 1:3 picture, not one that overshadows it. What is a picture worth? The value {of any picture depends upon what it will bring in the market. You can't just look at a plece of paper or can- vas, or even touch it, and say what it's worth. The chief factor is the artist. If he's well known there is usually a demand for his work. Some pictures bring high prices simply be- cause they are old. Don't ever buy a painting by a master without the onsul of an expert. Some of our reatest collectors have valueless paintings hidden in thelir cellars to prove that even experts can be fooled. ‘Whether a picture costs $5 or $5,000 you should demand the same things of it. It should be beautiful, suitably framed, attractive in appearance and harmonious with the rest of the room. ‘our standard of value should be, What is it worth to me?" RIES on his way to one of his favorite hunting grounds when he caught sight of Reddy Fox floundering along in the snow. At once he headed that way to see if Reddy might have started some one that he, Hooty, could catch. As he drew nearer he saw Jumper the Hare. If Jumper had been squat- ting motionless the chances are that Hooty wouldn’t have seen him. But Jumper was hopping along on the snow just ahead of Reddy Fox in the most provoking way. Now if there is any one dinner Hooty likes, it is a dinner of Hare. He saw at once that Jumper was giving all his attention to Reddy. That Hare dinner looked like 2 sure thing. Iam certain that Hooty would have grinned if he could have. He set his great curved claws ready to strike, and, noiselessly, for all the world like a moving shadow, headed straight for Jumper. “It would be fun to take a dinner right from under the nose of Reddy Fox thought Hooty. It was Peter Rabbit who was first aware of Hooty the Owl. Peter was greatly interested in watching Jumper and Reddy; but he didn't forget to watch out for possible enemies. So it BY THORNTON W. BURGESS -l was that he saw what at first looked like a drifting shadow, but which in a moment he recognized as Hooty the Owl. By that time Hooty was just reaching with those great feathered feet with their dreadful claws, to seize Jumper. Without Stopping to think that he was giving himself v, Peter thumped that old log. It as the danger signal. Instantly Jumper dodged. (Copyright. 1926.) MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. Memorizing. .

Although the miller's second daugh- ter was astonished over her adventure, she was ashamed to mention the strange summerhouse to her sisters. So it chanced that the third and voungest daughter, several days later, walked along the same way, and came at last to the same vine-grown sum- merhouse.

In the fore- noon they are favorable; in the after- noon distinctly adverse. In the eve- ning they are restful and benign, without being actively stimulating. Such conditions demand concentrated effort during the early part of the day, as the indications point, along these lines, to successful endeavor. After noon it would be politic to re- lax, and do only those things which necessity dictates. The evening should prove very propitious for all family or social reunions, as it is, in view of the signs, fair to assume that only peace and harmony will prevail. Children born tomorrow will have no easy time during infancy, and, in order that they may attain a normal ma- turity, it will be necessary to regulate very carefully their nutrition, and se- cure for them an abundance of fresh air. In disposition they will vary according to sex. The boy will be boisterous, not overmindful of the comfort or convenience of others, slow to learn, but quick and eager for =all sports and play. He will lack ambi- tion and be satisfied to remain in any position in which he may find him- self. The girl, on the other hand, will be always busy, quick and eager to learn, but not very addicted to any outdoor sports. She promises to be magnetic, attractive and very com- panionable. It tomorrow is your birthday, you are very much a creature of impulse, and vou often do and say things that cause your actions to be misunder- stod and your motives questioned. You think and act quickly, but not always with good judgment. You are never disposed to weigh the merits of an issue, but jump to conclusions, which, more often than not, are at variance with what your decision would be if you had duly considered the ‘“pros” and “cons.” "You seem to foregt that Jjust because you say it is so, it does not necessarily follow that this is the last and only word. For your future success it is abso- lutely necessary that you should cul- tivate poise and self-restraint., If you fail to do this, your passions may. lead you into serious difficulty, even though your thoughts and intentiens are the best. Well known persons born on that date are: Charles Sumner, statesman; Thomas M. Cooley, jurist and pub- licist; Willlam J. Stiliman, journalist and author; James A. Burden, manu- facturer; Clarence King, geologist and author; Henry E. Dixey, actor. (Copyright. 1926.) Bananas a la West.

P THIN ICE : Rosalind Nash foolishly gives up her job as stenographer, although Madeline Browning, with whom she shares an apartment, tries to per- suade her against it. When Jack Armstrong, a friend of Rose, hears the news he asks her to marry him, but Rosalind is determined to marry money, and refuses the offer. She decides to find work in a cabaret, where she will see life and meet interesting people, and takes a job at the Club Tivoli. CHAPTER XIV. An Unexpected Summons. Rosalind remembered afterw that almost instantly she had dis trusted the face as it leaped out at her from the gloom of the room. Of course, she had not seen it clearly, but for a moment she had looked into a pair of dark eyes under heavy eye- brows and had not been able to look away. It had not been a pleasant ex- perience. She was in the dressing room, get- ting into her street clothes, when the proprietor of the restaurant sent for her. Her heart began to pound as she received the message, and her cheeks flamed. The girl who danced next to her in the act smiled sig- nificantly. “Get a nibble?” Rosaland would have been haughty if she had not been curious, but her curiosity was too strong for her. “What do you mean? “Did the boss send for you?" es, why? What does it mean?” “Oh, it doesn't mean that vou're about _to lose your job, or anything like that; wants to meet you. thing.” Instantly d It's the usual Rosalind remember that People are blind who strive too hard To climb to some prize above — e simplest thing in the world is Juvf" 2 g it means that some one |* BY HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOR face, and a shiver of revulsfon went over her. Could it possibly be that man who wanted o meet her? And, if s0, what was she going 1o do about it; what was she supposed to do? She needed more information, and immediately went about getting it. “What am I supposed to do?" she asked quickly. “Surely, we don’t have to meet people If we don't want to meet them. The girl shrugged. “No, but it's a good policy. It strengthens your po- sitfon here if you bring trade. It's a £00d thing to be popular.” Rosalind hesitated, and went on speaking. “It can’t hurt you to meet this man, whoever he is. Go ahead and be in- troduced and size him up. You never can tell what may happen. It's my policy never to pass up a chance.” And still Rosalind hesitated. Wasn't that, after all, her policy, t00? Sup- pose this man turned out to be weal- thy, suppose he fell in love with har and offered her marriage. It meant! everything that she had wanted. And yet the memory of that face lingered in her mind, and_with it that feel- ing of distrust. Now that she was actually facing a_concrete situation her theories went flying from her, and she was afraid. Where was her vaunted courage and the certainty that she could take care of herself? Why wasn't she able to handle the thing nonchalantly? It was absurd to feel as she did about it. Her thoughts were chaotic as she entered the proprietor's private office, and althugh he was unusually cordial to her, it did not help very much. “Oh, Miss Nash,” he said genially, ne of our patrons would like to meet you. Are you willing to let the in- troduction "take place? We never insist upon it, of course: the matter is entirely in your own hands.” Again Rosalind hesitated, and Mr. rs went on speaking: You must not feel there is any- thing unconventional about this, Miss Nash. It rests entirely with you, and friendships made under such condi- tions often turn out very advan- | tageously for the girls who perform | here at the club. One of our girls married a very wealthy man met un- der such conditions only a short time ago. But, as I said before, the de- cision rests entirely with you.” ave he was, and how clever. Using the very tactics that would bring about results, as though he had known exactly what was going on in Rosalind’s thoughts. “Why am I hesitating?” thought Rosalind, desperately. “I can take care of myself, I am sure of that. I ought to be able to manage the situa- tion. Then why am I afraid; why do 1 think it is wrong? Why can't I make up my mind what to do about it?"

Anger, fear and pain tend to in- crease :he blood pressure. Grief, sorrow, disappointment or discouragement tend to reduce it be- low normal. Great joy raises the blood pressure. Intense disgust lowers it. All of these emotions influence the tone or state of partial contraction of the muscular coat of the arterfes through the sympathetic (autonomic) vasomotor nervous system and the adrenal glands. Prof. Walter B. Cannon has explain- ed how such effects are brought about. Anger raises a man's blood pressure Just as it does the hair on a cat's back. Suppos@ through some sudden emo- tion, such as the receipt of sad news, the vasomotor nerves fall in their duty of maintaining the arterial tone. The arterfes suddenly relax or dilate, and a large share of the entire blood pours into the dilated arteries and the heart beats rapidly, but not enough to compensate for the great lowering of blood pressure, o that the vietim faints, for the supply of blood to the brain is temporarily too small to maintain consclousness.
