WOMAN’S PAGE. Noise and Quiet BY LYDIA LE BAROM The woman who has a very quiet)ability to give them what they like house is of* apt to envy the woman who has noise about her, if it means| lor maid who is not young, but who that she has the oy of littie children But the mother who has the eon- tinual clatter feels sometimes y she would like to have the quiet. Neither is the perfection of home life. CHILDREN SOMETIMES TAKE DELIGHT IN A GAME WHICH WILL ENFORCE TEMPORARY QUIET IN THE HOUSEHOLD. But it is possible to instill activity into a too quiet home, and to encour- age quiet in one that is too noisy. Then both become more cozy and homelike. The woman who has no little folk of her own can have young life about her is he chooses. There are many women with no children whom young folk delight to be with. These women have a youthful spirit and an apprecia- in Average Home WALKER. |and even crave. I know of one bache- has a genius for friendships. Invita- tions to her afternoons and evenings at home are prized. She entertains the young folk at her country house, not on any lavish scale, for she is not a wealthy woman, but in such a gracious way that her house parties have a reputation for pleasant hours. She is interested in whatever the young folk are doing, she brings out the best side of each. She encourages them to culti- vate whatever abilities they have in a manner that is actuaily stimulating to their young spirits and life. Her home is full of the bubbling laughter of youth and the cheer that is not with- out its noisy side at times. She gives and gets much joy. Tact. The mother who has several children who are strenuous, healthy and hearty often has difficulty In preventing up. roarfous times. She can socarcely ex- pect to have an actually quiet house, but she can so order the days that there are season of quietness, and she can provide absorbing, fnactive games for entertainment when the nolse gets beyond a certaln limit. In Campany. Some of the times when quiet should be stressed fs when company is present. The little folk can be made to understand that there are persons who get tired and confused when there is a chatter of talk romping about. Indeed, there are some persons who llve such quiet lives that they are actually nervously upset when such confusion is going on about them, even for & little while, Yet they are not cranks or cranky. They are merely so unaccustomed to the noise that they cannot stand it, much as they might like to do So. Usually these are persons well along in vears, and their wishes should be | treated with respect. Callers. For such occasions as .calls from these friends, the mother does well to | encourage the little folk to run out of doors and play, if the weather is suit- able. If not, she can have some spe- cial treat to offer, provided the young- sters will play quietly. This can be a treat for the time or a promise of something she will do for them later.

Little children can be taught not to chatter during a meal. Good manners at the table are always appreciated, and your little ones will be thought attractive by visitors if they do not atttmpt to monopolize conversation, clamor for food they cannot have, and be reasonably quiet during the meals. In order for the little ones to be quiet when the mother wishes them to be, she has to see that they have plenty of chance to “let off steam.” They absolutely must have plenty of good, healthy exercise. When they tion of youth that makes them know what young folks like and enjoy. Coupled with this knowledge is the BEDTIME STORIE Chatterer Works and Plans. He who would not his duties shirk Must learn to plan as well as work. ~—Chatterer the Red Squirrel. Chatterer the Red Squirel wasted mo time now. You will remember that he had discovered a store of beechnuts safely hidden away in a hollow in a tall, dead stump of a tree, and that he was certain that the very beechnuts had been taken HE SCAMPERED ACROSS THE SNOW, A LITTLE RED SPOT AGAINST THE WHITENESS. from one of his storehouses. Chat- terer climbed up and poked hi§ head out of the entrance hole, a little round doorway. His head almost filled it. He looked this way, he looked that way, he looked up, he looked down, he looked around and around. Then he chuckled. No one was In sight. No one knew that he was there. He disappeared. In a minute he poked his head out again. This time he looked as if he had the mumps. Once more those bright eyes of his looked in every direction. ‘Then Chatterer climbed out and ran quickly down that tree, He scampered across the snow—a little red spot against its whiteness. He likes the snow, but just then he would have liked it better had there been no snow. He would have liked it better if the ground had merely a covering of dead brown leaves. But he had to make the best of things as they were. So he scampered swiftly across the snow and disappeared under some young hemlock trees. In a moment he was back again, hurrying to that tall, dead stump. He no longer looked as if he had do, unless they are unusual children, they will not object to being quiet part of the time. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS the mumps. Up he climbed, hastily looked around, then disappeared in- side. It was but a moment before he was out again, and once more he looked as if he had the mumps. He did just as he had done before—he scampered across the snow and dis- appeared under the hemlocks. When he reappeared he looked just as a squirrel should look. Of course, you have guessed what he was doing. He was taking those beechnuts out of that hollow in the tall, dead stump and he was hiding them under those low-growing hemlocks, where few were likely to venture. As he worked he talked to himself, a way Chatterer has of doing some- times. You know there are people who, when they can get no one else to listen, will listen to themselves. So Chatterer worked and talked to himself, when he didn’t have his mouth full, “I'll get all these nice beechnuts out of here,” said he. “I'll get them all out and hidden away just as soon as I can. I don’t believe anybody will look for them under those hem- lock trees, so I'll leave them there only until I can find a really safe place to put them. When I get all these beechnuts out and hidden I'll run over home and see that every- thing s all right there. Then I'l come back here and I'll curl up in that bed up in that hollow stump, and I'll wait. Yes, sir, I'll wait. I think I know who stole my beech- nuts. I wonder. I didn't think of him before. But I'll have to wait until dark to make sure. He won't come in the daytime. That much I know. ‘When he does come he'll get a little surprise. It won’t be so pleasant a surprise for him as the surprise I had when I found these sweet beech- nuts. My, but they are good! I would like to sit right down and eat my fill this very minute. But that would be a silly thing to do. There will be time enough to eat after I have all these bechnuts hidden where no one else will find them.” After a while Chatterer reached the bottom of that hollow. Not one single little three-sided beechnut was left. ! When he had made sure of this he left the old tree and started for home. It was quite a long way, but he had to get there to make sure that none of his other storehouses had been found and robbed while he was away. He knew that he couldn't possibly sleep easy without knowing this. And all the way there he chuckled because he had found his missing beechnuts, he had discovered who had taken them, and he was planning a surprise for that one.

Twist everything I say. I merely said I wanted him to be able to take care of himself.” Joan said, “that is why I am glving him physi- cal exercises—to make him big and strong, but I certainly do not intend to let him be encouraged to fight.” I said, “sometimes a fellow has to fight,” and Joan said, “‘well, when you feel you have to, you can go some place else for the repairs afterward.

Certainly no one is more entitled to wear the emblem of valor than the woman who 3u times has gone down into the Valley of the Shadow and faced death in its most terrible form. For not only has she risked her life upon every occasion, but she has suffered such agony as only the most mutilatec vietims of shot and shell ever experience. y and of herolsm as this, we should build her a monument as high as the sky anc inscribe her virtues thereon in letters of gold, but because thousands of women all about us every day perform this miracle of courage we do no even notice it. v e e Nolz is there any more sublime illustration of{ murahl hrx::ryf—(;ffl:l:le:; gorlx‘t; e poor W 2 ts up from her of st i R A Car Ay “r?:rs\e-ork o caring for her family—cooking and cleaning and sewing and mending and washing and baby-tending, often with a crying child in her arms and another clinging to her skirt, with nerves freited to fiddle strings, ready to drop with weariness, yet somehow carrying on. A-hero of heroes! It is easy to risk your life to save a comrade with the world looking on ready to applaud, but it takes a higher courage to give your life, as so many women do, to protect the old and feeble, and the young and helpless. The one calls for the bravery of a moment; the other for cold courage that endures through the yvears. How many old maids we know who have sacrificed their own lives to the lives of their nieces and nephews! Who have deliberately left themselves homeless and childless in order that a brother or a sister’s orphan children might have a home and love and be mothered! How many patient, gray-haired, old daughters we know who have given their whole lives to the service of querulous and tyrannical old parents! They have had their youth crushed out of them by a narrow, bigoted, old father. They have had thefr ambitions thwarted by a mother’s selfishness. They have never known any freedom or any joy of ltving. Always they have been the victims of the whims and caprices of uprea sonable oid people, but just because the fumbling old hands are so helpless and the senile old minds have grown so childish, they go on patiently enduring their exactions, listening to their boring old stories, humoring them, petting them, knowing that they will never receive the slightest recognition of their heroism. For the world will only think that they are women who are doing their duty. . Kige e AND who shall estimate the bravery of the woman who holds her fami together at the price of her pride, at the price of her dignity, while her heart is bleeding from a wound that drains her life white? She knows that her husband is unfaithful to her and her impulse is to revenge herself upon him by proclaiming his dishonor to the world, but she has children who must have the background that a home gives them, who must be educated, who must be kept in their proper place in soclety. So, like the Spartan boy who smiled while the fox gnawed at his vitals, many & wife hides her secret knowledge of her husband’'s Infidelity so herofcally that the world does not even know that she suspects him. Many a commonplace little woman endures the agony of a broken heart, the tortures of jealousy, without ever crying out. We place no crown upon their heads, but martyrs at the stake have suffered less. We accept it all as just part of the sacrifice that a mother should make for her children. And so I might go on telling the long, long story of women's bravery. I might tell of the women who scrub office bulldings at night on their knees to earn the money to feed the children whose fathers have deserted them. And of the women who deliberately raise their children above themselves. Of timid, fearful women who dare death without the quiver of an eyelid for the sake of thelr beloved. 3 There is nothing that fires the imagination in what they do. Their deeds of heroism are done secretly and silently, with no beating of drums. We build them no monuments, and their exploits are never blazoned in the newspapers. 8o it 1s good to know that at least one woman has come into her reward, and has’ received the decoration of the cross of the Legion of Honor, just because she has nobly done her duty as a woman.
