HOW IT STARTED BY JEAN NEWTON. “The Sweetest Story Ever Told.” “Tell me, do vou love me? Tell me softly, swest as of old, Tell me that yvou love me, For that's the sweetest story ever told.” The lilting lines of this song which has survived to this day as one of our old faverites, were written to crder, in 24 hour 1t it should seem strange that anvthing produced by this pot-boiler method should have taken a lasting hold on the popular in its composition an element of in spiration. Here is the story that is given us for the origin of this song: A young man named R. M. Stults loved music and song writing, was earning his living as a salesman in a Baltimore music store when a young lady entered in aquest of a ®ong. She was Myra Mirella, star of the musical sa0w, “The Tar and the Tartar.” which was then playing in Raltimére. She told Mr. Stults, who was walting upon her, that she needed a sentimental ballad that would “make a hit" for a certain place in the second act of the play. An old English song, “Afterward, which she had heen singing in the have to find a substitute that would “eateh (n.” e Mr. Stults offercd and played over many songe but nothing that was available in the shop struck Miss Then the voung salesman told his customer that he oceasionally wrote songs “‘on the side,” and that since he thought he had a good idea of what she wanted he wonld le glhd to try hi ing a song to fill her The petress agreed and made appointment to return for his in 24 honrs That night R. M. Stults sat down to compose the song, and. as many of us find when we try to put vague ideas into concrete form. he had difficulty in getting started. Suddenly his wife, wha was sitting near him. reading, closed her book with the re- mark, “That ix the sweetest story ever told." The words immediately appealed to him, and working around that line opened up an avenue of ideas for a love ballad, the result he. ing the song which has been sung for over 34 years MOTHERS AND TAFIR CRILDRE an One Mother Savs: Very early in the schaol vear T make it my business tn meet all the teachers of my children-—after schaol hours.

She is somewhat at a loss among the smart people who are his friends. and. although she is dazzled at the future he keeps talking of con- stantly, she is often hurt at his eriticism. One night she is forced to break an engagement awith him because she is called on a case. He is furious and shows it openly Later he asls her to promise hin that she awill_never take another night case. He does not seem to realize that she needs the money to dress as he wishes her to. hut she gives him her word. They (o to lunch and Alice Grifith, a girl Jim has onece been interested in comes up to their table. Jim asks both girls to go driving, hut Retty is forced to refuse hecause she needs rest. She is hurt that he is willing o go alone with Alice. During the afternoon Alice is very charming to Jim and. knowing that he cannot see Betty, who is on a case. he asks her to have dinner with him. CHAPTER X0 Time Pisses, Jim told Retty that he had taken Alice to dinner—told her in a way that made her feel herself responsible for it because she had heen unable to be with him. If she were hurt, she gave no sign of it, but the incident made her double her attempts to be charming. She was up against many things in Jim's life, and she must simply accept the fact. She would comfort herself over and over with the knowledge that, after all, he had chosen her. She must not let herself he fealous because his life was so full of interesting thinzs and people. After her appendicitis case she had a string of cases, one right after an other, but. as it happened. she was fortunate in not being called out at night. She was very happy during these days. because Jim kept hinting about something good that was about to break for him. “And if it does,” he would say in a voice full of meaning, “we’ll he able to set a date for a certain fmportant event.

One of the most fascinating charac- teristics of Spanish furniture is that peculiar quality of individuality which seems to find expression in each piece. The vanguenos or cabinets, often used as desks, are among the most elaborate of the old Spanish pieces. In its simplest form the vangueno is merely a chest with a dropfront lid fitted with small drawers and com- partments. Sometimes it is mounted on a stand, as here: sometimes on a table and sometimes on another chest. ornamented with conceived wrought iren hasps, corners. locks and studs, Usu- ally there ar mond-shaped me- allions with pierced designs mounted over red velvet. When the front lid of the vangueno is let down it digcloses a miniature architectural facade with row upon row of tiny twisted columns of hone, and a small central door surrounded with drawers. This interior is usually brightly decorated in red and gold. (Copvright. 1926.) nelfully Beef and Pork Croquettes.

EVERYDAY QUESTIONS Answered by DR. S. Mons from readers are answered dafly b Parkes Cadman. president of the ‘ederal “Couneil of Churches of Christ in America. Dr. Cadman seeks to answer in qyiries ihat gppear to be representatice of the trends of thought in the many letters which he receives Canton, Ohia. Do you consider that the present vogue for detective stories has any connection with the so-called crime wa ? If so, do you regard it as a he: or unhealthy sign? Answer—Some eminent thinkers and countless intelligent pecple have pro- fessed a fondness for the detective story as recreational reading. Al- though not the highast form of litera- ture, it is preferabla to much of the ! ash-can varfety of reading matter which floods the newsstands end the book stores today. It s very doubtful if the detective story has an appreciable connection with the present crime wave. ['nless one reads such tales immoderately, the danger from them is negligible compared with that from tainted or decadent literature. Raleigh, N. C. McCall's Magazine recently pub- lished a powerful story, entitled “The Gate,” by Rudyard Kipling, which represented Judas Iscariot in ileaven among the blessed. What is vour verdict on the fate of Judas in the world to come? Answer—Since the keys of Heaven and hell do not hang on my girdle, T | am content to leave the grand apostate to a just and mereiful God. Though Judas sinned like a_devil, his repentence showed he could have heen an apostie. Jesus washed his feet in the Upper Room and fought for his soul to the last gasp. How he could resist the Master's final appeal, | persist in His betrayal, go out into the night; then, when it was too late, in an agony of remorsa, fling the blood money at the feet of the taunting priests and end his misery by suicide, is an enigma which eternity alone will solye. T have read the brililant story which vou mention. It {s_reminiscent of Kipling at his best. But it overlooks the word of Christ about Judas: “It were better for that man that he had never heen born."” Philadaiphia, Pa. As a peace lover, I ask why that the programs for disarmament are so small and tentative and their realization apparently o difficult Does neot reason point the way for such a desirable event?

Why was the Bible not written so clearly that it would not admit of more than $00 differen: interpreta- tlons, as representea by our §00 dif- ferent sects, creeds and denomina- tions? Answer—The Bible is for the most | part conspicuously clear and straight forward in its utferances. But is is | also historic.literature, widely varfant in origin, date, the character of its |authors and their respective ideals and beliefs. Jesus Himself was constantly |emploved in correcting grave misa prehensions of the Old Testament by | the very peaple whose inspired writers produced it. We should not exaggerate the differ. ences you name. either as to their | number or seriousness. The general interpretation of Holy Scriprure's car- |1inal teachings is far more harmonious than the question indicaies. Jew and Gentile. Catholic and Protestant alike agree upon some of its fundamentals Its revelation of Gd. of man, his na- ture and possibilities, and of the wpi itual order which dominates the uni- verse is accepted with practical una- | nimity Nor are varieties of interpretation | necessarily evil in themselves. The | weaith of the sacred books is too great t4 be mined and minted by any single | school of expositors. Mor the underlving concord of Holy Scripture is strengthened by iis manifold forms in legend, history, psalm. prcphecy, parable, gospel and epistle.
