Mrs. Morgan thinks Merton is still inters ested in Jean and aucceeds in planting the aeed of jealousy in Conrad's mind. In the meantime Florence begins to hope that Merton is seriously in love writh her. One afternoon Richard, Finrenee's hukband, sees Merton kisa her, and aftercard, when he taxes her with it, she makes him believe that it was Jean hecause they hoth arren hats. Richard goes away on a trip and Florence asks Merton to tea. Jean arvives and interrupts their tete- a-tete. Later Merton takes Jean home and they meet Con, who shows his jenunusy oprnly. A guarrel follows. CHAPTER XXXV, The Threat. . Con and Jean stood facing each other, their eyes blazing with rage. Mrs. Morgan had slipped away to the Nving room. where she could listen to everything that went on.

Blinded by her preju. dice she could not be charitable toward ther, and her one wish was to make Conrad see her in the same light that ! she did.

A bit of old-time quaintness lives in this corner cupboard of American pine. It is an exact copy of an old cupboard found in Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia, and is made in two parts. Such a cupboard as this in a corner of the early American dining room or living room adds much to the charm and character of the room. It can be painted some decorative color—as the old cupboards were—so that it will show the household treasures dis- played on its shelves to best possible advantage.

Parson, who helieves, from the Elizabeth experience, that there {8 no particular danger of such a speech impediment as a result of enforced change from left handedness to right- handedness. though he thinks the at- tempt should be abandoned when stut- tering occurs. 1 do not know why they decided that left-handedness need- ed “cure” in Elizaheth. Few prisons make inmates wear stripes nowada Man was ambidextrous, or rath non-dextrous, away back. Primitive warfare, the use of spear, club or sword and shield made him start training the right hand more than the Teft for skill. But lefi-handedness still occurs in spite of universal right- handed environment, and I can’t see any good reason whv we should at- tempt to interfere with nature’s plans. (Copyright, 1926.) MOTHERS AND TREIR CHILDR| Tests for Handednes: A left-handed fndividual is left- footed as well. A right-handed indi- vidual may scarcely realize that he is right-footed, until’ he tries to do cer- tain things with his feet, say a clog dance. Then he finds that he has greater skill in the preferred foot. The dynamometer, which measires the strength of the grip, gives a hint but scarcely a positive fndication of handedness, for many other influences may affect the strength of the grip or the strength of other movements of the hand. As a rough rule the pre- terred hand is the stronger. Another test is the number of taps which the hand will make on a key in & given number of meconds. The preferred hand s usually the more efficient in this test, In the tracing test the individual attempts to pass an electric stylus he- tween two strips of metal without touching them. Ile can do this better with the preferred hand. The right hand is the more sensitive to slight differences of heat or cold in &, right-handed person, the left in a left-handed person, hut' this test is in- conclusive because it involves the par- ticipation of the subject Prof. W. Franklin Jones of the 1ni- versity of South Daketa reported 12 or 15 years ago a fairly reliable test by anthropometry. e devised a sim- ple instrument for the accurate me urement of the “ulna plus’—that is the length of the forearm from the elbow to the middle of the knuckle. This instrument is called the brachi- ometer. Prof. Jones found in 10,000 brachiometer tests 417 children who were natural or native left-handers— thut ix, the length of the uina plus was greater on the left side -whils in the other 93883 the ulna plus was greater on the right side. The ulna plus is greater on the preferred side even In young infants. In his studies | Prof. Jones encountered more feeble- minded children and stutterers than statisties would lead one to expect, and he said that fact caused him to fear any attempt to transfer from nat- ural left-handedness to artificial right- handedness.
