REDDY looked at Reddy Fox, at the ruin of an old barn in the shadow of which he was sitting, and then around. “I ?on‘t é_e:. clnyt.l:fln: that looks like a safe re aroun here,” sald she in a tone of disappoint- uent. Reddy grinned. “Follow me and you will,” h}; replied and turned toward the old ruin of a barn. For an instant Mrs. Reddy hesitated. She was suspicious of buildings, even an old wreck of one like this. She was suspicious of anything that had to do with man. Over his shoulder Reddy impatiently called, “Come on!" She hesitated more, and then followed. Reddy led the way inside that old tarn. One end had fallen. Reddy dis- appeared in an opening under the fallen timbers. She followed. he disappeared. This time through a hole in the floor. For a second Mrs., Reddy hesitated again, but only for a second. Beneath the floor it was dry and comparatively warm. And In a far corner was a hole, down in the ground, an old Woodchuck hole close to an opening in the underpinning ust big enough for one no larger than Chuck to slip through. “See,” said Reddy, “all we have to do to dig this old Chuck hole a little . The earth is sandy and easy to dig, for Jack Frost hasn’t been able to freeze it much. My dear, isn’t this the most perfect hide-out you ever dreamed of?” Secretly Mrs. Reddy admitted to her- self that it was and she was delighted with it. But to Reddy she sald: “Sup- m we are chased here by Dogs. seems to be but one way in here and if a hunter should follow the Dogs we would be trapped.” Reddy chuckled inside, taking care that Mrs. Reddy shouldn't know it. He knew that she was pleased but didn't want to show it. “Supposing Dogs do chase us here,” said he. ‘“That hole in the floor above is too small for any but & small Dog to get through, and there ere few that would venture in. Even i one did he would have to dig to get et us, and we can dig faster than any Dog. If a hunter should find that we had disappeared through that hole in floor what could he do about it? My dear, this place is even safer than our home in the Old Pasture. But we won't let any one know we are lving here if we can help it.” R;;:en out of tlhe wu:a!" exclaimed R:‘H? idy suddenly, and pushing :stde began to dig in that old Chu ole.

That teaches them not to do too much and that helps some. We tram little children to be kind to animals. When they hurt them we tell them so and we appeal to their emotions, their tenderness for hurt things, their affection for their friends, the dog and the cat, their sportsman- ship and the like. Lecturing th about it will not help much, but an a] 1 to their feelings Ity to animals is excusable in little children. It is to be corrected and trained out of them. In children over 6 and under 10 it is to be guarded against and punished. The pets are taken from their care. The grown- up people express their disapproval by word and action. The offender is made to feel himself outside the line. But, when a child over 10 willfully hurt an animal, there is no excuse. stop. He has to change his attitude toward the helpless creatures that come his way or be helped to change it. Very few children are cruel to ani- mals knowingly.

The cause of the feel- ing that vents itself upon the animals must be found, rooted out and the child helped to health and happiness. Children who hurt animals are not happy children.

MODES= DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX EAR MIS8 DIX—In the world of physical nature unlikes attract . Does this phenomenon of avocations? What about ferent nationalities? Answer: Nature, which is concerned only with tha good of the race and not with individual happiness, often ordains that the law of the attrac- shall work in human nature as well as in physical nature. ‘Thus we see big men marrying little, half-] women; blondes c! about brunettes, and vice versa; quiet, staid little maidens falling in love with dashing rounders; college professors choosing Dumb Doras for life oomn%lnlnnl, and close-fisted, penny-pinching men espousing wasters and spenders. O'rfln.w:s: ‘we should develop a race of giants or pigmies, of morons or highbrows, of go-getters or loafers, but—and this is one of Mother Nature’s cruel little jokes on humanity—the attractions of opposites that drew a couple together before marriage nearly always rend them asunder after marriage, and the men and women who picked out their mates because they were something different find when they get them home and lookd-ut, them at close range that they don’t like them simply because they are erent. This is the basis of the complaint that you hear oftenest from married people, that their husbands and wives do not understand them, or sympa- thize with them, and that they have nothing in common. This is true, but it is not the fault of the party of the other part. It is simply the result of having married their opposites.

The gay, zl:::{:-lovuu man soon wearies of the lectures of his prim, puritan- e. 8o it goes all down the line. Happiness in marriage depends more uj congeniality than upon any other one thing, and congeniality is a matter X{] Il:e to ake.hfvery “‘i’.mtyfi qua.rre]ltun‘t.he express)iem of conflicting opinions. lomestic harmony e resul two people thinking alike, looking at things from the same point of view, having the same tastes and habits. Two people can have & beautiful time together staying at home of eve- nings or going to night clubs; playing golf or pushing a perambulator; going to symphony concerts or to hear a jazz band, if they both enjoy doing the same thing. It is when one wants to be a fireside fixture and the other yearns to dance; when one longs to go places and see things and the other desires no livelier amusement than watching the baby sleep, that trouble begins. So if you want to be happy though married, pick out your double for a mate. It is the one best bet. And the same thing holds good of friends. We are often attracted to a brilliant and entertaining stranger whose whole range of experience is entirely different from ours and whose beliefs and theories and opinions are diametrically opposed to ours, but such friendships rarely last and have no peace in them while they do. AROUMENTATLON is the death of friendship and we soon grow weary of the society of those to whom we cannot even say it is a pleasant day without starting something. Nor do we enjoy the company of those who never see eye to eye with us about politics, or books, or plays. The friends we grapple to us with hoops of steel are those who laugh at the same jokes and like the same style of cooking and hold to the same theories that we do. All national loyalties and prejudices are the result of like calling to like. We feel that our own people are always right because their way is our way. Few international marriages are happy because after the glamour of strangeness has worn off & man wants a wife who is a replica of the women of his own people, and the woman wants a husband who treats her according to the code for husbands to which she is accustomed.
