WOMAN'’S PAGE. BEDTIME STORIES Jimmy “Returns Early. u've been trying to he good. to be misunderstood. ~Black Pussy. It was just before daylight that Jimmy Skunk yawned, mtc" , won- dered for a moment where he was, re- membered, and then crept out of Black Pussy's ble bed in Farmer R Tk where the liver and mil had been the night before. He found en low sa there and then walked out through the little round doorway which had been provided for Black Pussy. Once outside, Jimmy shuffied llotalmm. He was feeling very com- Zortable and in good humor. It was some time after daylight, in fact, it was after breakfast time, that Black Pussy ventured out from her hiding place in the barn and went to NANCY PAGE Members of Family Have Right to Privacy BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. One of the Good Taste girls had a grievance. “Tell me, Mrs. Page, should a girl's mother read all her letters. Aren't my letters my own?” There was ~1ch an eager look on the faces of the «Jher members of the club that Nancy realized they had a common grievance ~—the lack of privacy which was given them by their family. Some way mothers do not realize that girls and boys, too, for that matter, reach a stage where they feel they are sufficiently grown up to keep their own things own way. Of course, parents act as they do be- cause they feel their experience ought to be a help. Then too, they have given up fo much for their children that they hate to relinquish the pro- prietary feeling toward them. But one sure way to lose childfen’s confidence is to keep too close a rein upon them, to act as if every act of theirs needed ‘watching. A growing girl or boy should have the feeling that privacy is hers or his. A room of one’s own, the knowledge that letters are mot opened or- read. that one’s diary is kept untouched will often be the means whereby parents remain in the confidence of their child. Every person hates espion- age and spying. Another one of their grievances turned out to be the way in which one child borrows the clothes of another. One of the members of the club con- fessed that the first person out of her home was the best dressed. Nancy felt that the girls themselves ought to be able to regulate such borrowing, since of grown-ups have no effect. The girls voted to consider the proper punishment and report it at next meeting. /MAPLE ‘ "j"«C(AN A Nature’'s Own Glorious Sweets Satisfy that sweet tooth with Maple Grove Candies—Nature’s own confection from the fra- grant woodlands of Old Ver- mont.

Once in the kitchen, she rubbed against Mother Brown and meowed, teasing for breakfast. Mother Brown went to the back shed and looked out. An empty plate and an empty saucer were there. “You don't need anything to eat,” she said. “A cat who could get away with all that liver and milk that I left out there for you last night certainly cannot be hungry now.” “Meow!” said Black Pussy, and kept right on teasing. However, she teased in vain M.other Brown simply wouldn't give her any more food, explaining that she didn't want to overfeed her and 80 make her sick. Poor Black Pussy! She really was hungry. Of course, there was no way for Mother Brown to know that one else had eaten up that good meal that she had placed out in that shed the night before. She knew that Bow- ser the Hound had been out in his little house, chained, lest he take it into his head to go hunting Reddy Fox. She knew that Flip the Terrier had been shut up in the kitchen all night. The liver and milk were gone, 50, of course, Black Pussy must have eaten them, Finally Black Pussy gave up teasing and went out to the barn to try to catch a mouse. She wasn't at all a happy cat. Now, Jimmy Skunk is one of those who believe in making the most of op- portunities. He believes in getting the thing that he can get easlest. Late that afternoon, just about the time jolly, round, red Mr. Sun was getting ready to go to bed behind the Purple | Hills, Jimmy awoke. As usual, the first thing he thought of was his stomach. I mean by that, that the first thing he thought of was something to eat. He remembered the feast he had had the night before up in the shed at Farmer Brown'’s house. “Perbaps,” said Jimmy to himself, “there’ll be another feast there. It is a lot easier to get a dinner like that than it is to go hunt for it. I believe I'll go up there early, Somebody else might get that dinner before I do.” So it was just dusk when Jimmy Skunk ambled ‘across the yard to Black Pussy’s hole in the shed. " It just hap- pened that no one saw him. He walked right through without hesitating. The door from the kitchen was open. There were very pleasant odors coming from it. Had not Jimmy already been hungry, the smell of those good things would have made him hungry. But there was no plate of liver ‘and no saucer of milk out in that shed. Jimmy was disappointed. He was very much | disappointed. He was undecided just what to do. Finally he decided to wait a while and see what would happen. MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST. Sliced Bananas. Wheat Cereal With Cream.

C‘;Ok all day on the back of the stove, OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRI The Great Desire. Parents and teachers long to educate children into being the perfect man and perfect woman. * !.‘ver{ mistake the child makes is a stab in the faithful loving heart of the hovering spirit. Everything that is good, everything that is lovely, is placed before the children. And still they turn aside and do evil. ‘There is an infinite law that decrees that each shall sow and reap his own | harvest. ‘There is none to do it for) him. There is no way by which the best of teachers, the most enlightened parent can put anything into the soul of a child. Example, instructicn, care he can bestow, but unless the child accepts what matter all the anxiety and care? Is our training then so utterly use-| less? Are we so compleiely helpless? | There is a group of children who have been born into the world defective. This group must be gathered into spe- cial schools, special colonies, and kept there until they show indication of self- control and self-guidance, or, because they show no fuch power, held there to the end. The great group of children is normal, healthy, efective. We can guide and direct them in such & way as to foster in them a deep desire, the great desire, to be good, to be fine ple. pfl"l'h! best way to do that is to be what one would have the children be.| That is where most of us fail. We would teach children to be unselfish, and we go out and fight for the last | ounce of substance that we can claim | as ours. We teach them to be honest | and daily we prevaricate, evade, wlori the story, willfully. We would have them industrious and we, in their presence, scorn the worker and adore the easy-going idler whose family en- dowed him with riches and futility. We teach one way and live another. Daily we balance dangerously between two worlds. We would be gentle and kind and unselfish, but, alas, it costs tco much. We cannot bear that an- other should enjoy what we covet. And we covet the earth and its fullness. Before we can hope to have our chil- dren express the great desire we must express it ourselves in our dally lives. Children follow where we lead. » What they are, these healthy normal children, we have made them. g ‘We cannot teach a child unselfishness by force. We cannot give him wisdom through sermons. We cannot give him GROVE DIES A g N.W. 32 Conn. Ave. N.W. | knowledge. ‘We cannot give him power. Before he can add a single cubit to his stature he must desire to do so. We can lovely. We can make the child desire by showing him the worthiness of these characteristics in our own daily lives. Would you have a child express this great desire to be good, to be a man ahd do a man's work in the world? Show him the way and he will follow it. There is no other means in your power.

The famous Quaker, George Fox, saw a “waft” of death go out against Oliver Cromwell the day before he was prostrated with his fatal illness, It was Fox who perceived in advance the expulsion of the “rump” Parliament, the fire of London and the restoration of Charles II. Stephen Grellet was another great Friend who frequently foresaw impor-| tant_events. Being interested in such manifestations, he kept a record of those that occurred to him and to others. It is because of this that we have the curious story of the Count and Countess Tontschkoff. The count wes a well known general in the Rus-| sian army in the Napoleonic period. It was in the Spring of 1812 that the | ccuntess dreamed one night that her father came into her bed room, holding | he- only son by the hand, and said to| her sadly: “All thy comforts are gone; | they husband has fallen at Borodino.” The dream caused Mme. Tontschkoff sich emotion that she awakened. "By | her side she could hear the regular breathing of the count, and, vastly re- lieved, dismissed the Incigent asa mere nothing. | But as soon as she had fallen asleep again the dream returned. This hap- pened a third time. Alarmed, she awakened her husband and told him of her_experience. “But where is Borodino?” she asked. “I have heard of no such place before.” The count, reassuring her, but still interested, with that vague anxiety which such occurrences Aarouse, ob- tained some maps, and_together they searched for Borodino. They could not discover any such place. “You see” said Tontschkoff, “this place is but a figment of fancy. There is no Borodino, consequently I cannot, WHO REMEMBERS? #Y DICK MANSFIELD.

In June, 1812, Napolecn ceclared ‘war against Russia and invaded that country. Up until this time the Borodino River, on the banks of which stood a small village of that name, had been too obscure to be noted cn the maps of t day. But since then every school boy end girl has known the name, for it was there that the conqueror fought the bloody battle which opened to him the road to Moscow. An anfortunate victory, since it prefaced the terrible disaster of the famous later retreat. Count Tontschkoff was one of the Russian generals at Borodino. He laid cown his life in a ‘ruitless charge against the Prench. ‘The countess had left her home and was on a journey to be as near her husband as possible at the time. She was at an inn when her father came to her. As he entered the room in which she was sitting, he led b> the hand her little son. His sad face and his hesi- tant manner almost made it unneces- sary for him to speak. As he broke the tragic news, the countess, weeping, crushed her son to her breast. When calm returned she remem- bered her dream. Then a strange de- tail returned to her. » “This inn, this room—it was here you came to warn me in my dream,” she sald. “I remember it distinctly now.” FOOD PROBLEMS BY SALLY MONROE. If Bread Palls. Does the kind of bread you are used to taste a little flat and uninteresting now and then? A good many would answer “yes” to that question. They plug along, eating baker’s bread or homemade bread or muffins three times a week and toast the other days for breakfast, or any other monotonous routine, Suddenly they are tired of whatever their bread habit has been. They want something different. They want something different, but they think they are tired of bread, all bread. The whole trouble is that we all get tired of monotony, in bread as in other things, Now if your family seems to be tired of bread try some other kind. If you hav> been making bread all Winter, try using baker’s bread for a while. If you have been using whole-wheat bread most of the time, cut it out entirely for a couple of weeks. If you have been usl.n]; rolls and toast, try muffins for a while Remsmber ‘bread sticks. Crisp and brown, they are delicious. You ecan buy them perhaps of a local baker. Or yow can get them- like wafers in packages in some shops. yway, just remember that they form a deliclous variation from the regulation bread you | have been eating so long. You can often revive an interest in bread for breakfast by using some new kind of electric toaster. DINNER READY ?* | Chappel's Ken-L-Biskit will | solve the problem of what to feed your dog.
