Qmmi ezeL | 0N SOMEHOW GRAY FOX COULDN'T LEAVE. ment when, after taking this risk, he found that the hens were shut in the henyard. The next day it was the same way, and again on the day fol- lowing. What could the reason be? “It must be that those hens I took have been missed,” thought Gray Fox, guiltily. “Still, that doesn’t mean that it is known who took them. I have been very careful. There are others besides myself who like fat hens. If I lle low for a few days perhaps those hens will be let out again.” 8o Gray Fox kept away from that | henyard. It was hard work. Having | lived so well for a few days it was, indeed, hard work to go back to short rations, as he now was obliged to. He stood it for a couple of days and then temptation proved too much for him. | He must find out if those hens were #till shut up. | He stole out of the woods over to his usual hiding place behind a shed | and cautiously peeped around the eorner. His heart sank. The hens were still over in the henyard. They ‘were in the henyard and the gate was el losed. Somehow Gray Fox couldn’t leave. He knew he should go back to the ‘woods, but the sight of those hens was too much for him. He would hang around & while on the chance that something might happen to give him a chance at one of those hens. Anyway, hanging around could do no harm. And so he did hang around back of that shed. He was there when one of the two elderly sisters who owned those hens came out to look for eggs and: carelessly left the gote open. A venturesome hen walked out and almost over to the corner around which Gray Fox was hiding. What to do® Gray Fox quivered all over with excitement and with longing. Once he would not have hesitated, ‘but he had gained much 1n sense since then. There was noth- ing to fear nmow in the immegiate present. He could catch that hen: and carry her off with no danger of anything at all happening to him then. He new it. But if he were seen would he he safe later? He remembered the terrible trap that had given him that crippled paw, and waited. Yes, Gray Fox had gained wisdom since then. The hen came so mear and no nearer. It was exasperating. Were it not that Gray Fox hoped to get other hens at this place in the future he would have rushed out and seized this one and then kept away from this place. But this was the only place he knew of where, as a rule, the hens were allowed to rcam about the door- yard during most of the day. It was the only place where he could catch a hen without climbing a wire fence to do it, and with that crippled paw he could not climb for some time to | come. At last the owner of those hens came out of the henyard. She saw the hen outside and started to drive her back inside. The hen didn't want to go back and had no intention of doing so. She started to run and she ran right around that corner of the shed. She ran almost right into the mouth of Gray Fox. This was too much. His jaws snapped. There was a squawk, cut short in the middle. He seized that hen by the neck, threw her body across his shoulders and started for the woods just as the hen’s owner came around the corner. Of course, she saw Gray Fox. She shouted at him, “Hi, you Dog, drop ! that hen!” she shouted. Gray Fox merely tried to run a little faster. He was running on three legs. He didn't know it, but he had been lucky in two ways. He had been mistaken for a small gray Dog and it had been seen that he was crippled. (Copyright. 1935.) ripe, juiey tomatoes cook- ed Southern style.... THE EVENING STAR, Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS Awakening on Time. T IS saild of a famous and busy man that he could set aside 10, 15, or 20 minutes for & nap and awaken on the dot. Most people can train themselves to do the same thing within certain limits. You can do this in daytime much more easily than you can at night. During the night many disturbing factors are eliminated. But disturbances may be internel es well as external. One of the psychological secrets of awakening on time is expectation. Children, knowing that they are going on a. picnic early in the morning, sleep fitfully, if at sll. The anticipa- tion of the morrow performs the office of continually keeping the child awake. ‘There would be no use for alarm clocks if you were not able to dis- cipline your nerves. When you set your alarm for 6 o'clock, you have really given specific instructions to those brain cells that have to do with hearing. It all amounts to an order for those cells to tell all the other cells what they are to do at a given time. One may theoretically enlarge on this psychology of expectation to al- most any degree. Why isn't a trained mind, after all, one that is able to foresee, even in a subconscious way, things that are likely to need atten- tion? If this be true, why cannot one say that good business sense, everyday efficiency, intuition and a lot of other terms merely mean prace tice in awakening on time? (Copyright. 1935.) Peach Cup.

Made a kid mar- riage, which was none too satisfactory to either my wife or myself, as our tastes changed when we got old enough to know anything. We had two children. We both stuck and made the best of things for their sake, but two years ago my wife and one child were Killed in an accident. After my exper..nce I swore I would never marry again, but now I have met a woman I'm in love with. She is my age, highly educated, good looking, fine business woman, most interesting talker, never a dull moment when she is around. She was unhappily married and is separated, but not di- vorced. Says the reason she doesn't get a divorce is that she is afraid, if she had one, she would be foolish enough in some mad moment to get married again. I am wildly jealous of everybody who comes near this woman. I am on her trail nearly all the time. I want to know what she is doing every minute of the day and night. I follow her, look tor her car, go to her office after she has asked me not to. She says she cares for me, but if she does, why will she not get a divorce and marry me? E M. NSWER: The solution of your riddle is plain enough. Your insane Jealousy is your undoing. No woman who still retained her reason- ing faculties, no matter how much in love she was, would be mad enough to marry a man who grew green-eyed every time she spoke to another man, even when he knew it was a matter of business, who demanded that she produce an alibl for every minute of her time, and who follewed her and snooped on her everywhere she went. Any woman with a grain of sense in her head would know that no marriage could be happy that was bullt on suspicion, and that no husband could be so little desirable as one who, even before marriage, showed how monopolistic and tyrannical he would be if a woman was once in his power. She would know that marriage would be a hell on earth with a man who believed the worst of her and who did not give her credit for any sense of honor or loyalty or decency. 'HERE wouldn't be a chance of even living in peace with him, no matter how humble she was before him, no matter how much she let him keep her under lock and key, no matter how discreet she was, because jealousy does not need any food to thrive on. It is an emana- tion of the thoughts in the heart of a man or woman, who believes that the one he or she professes to love is capable of any sort of baseness. ‘You could not possibly offer leadlier insult to this woman you ask to marry you, and it is no wonder that she does not say “yes” to such wooing. According to your account of her, she is a woman of character and principle, a woman of education and refinement and good breeding, a woman who so conducts herself that she has won the respect and esteem of all who come in contact with her, yet in spite of that you beslime her with your suspicions. INJICE prospect for her if she marries you! Can you wonder that she doesn’t rush into a- lifetime of having to be put through a question- naire every time she goes to the butcher shop. of having her slightest and most inconsequential act wrongly interpreted, of being afraid even to speak to her grandfather lest you put an evil construction on it? You probably try to persuade her that marriage will kill jealousy and that, although now you don’t consider her trustworthy, you will have perfect faith in her as soon as the marriage ceremony is said over you. If you really love this woman don't marry her until you have conquered the demon within you. The only happily married people are those who trust each other implicitly. When doubt and Jealousy come in at the door love flies out the window. oo DOROTHY DIX. DEAR MISS DIX—My brother has been out of work for about two yearg and last Summer he had to give up his house and bring his wife and three children home to live. My sister-in-law has a terrible disposition. Never considers any one's feelings in what she says, but her feelings have to be handled with gloves. She never gets up in the morning to help mother with the housework, but expects mother to wait on her and her children and pick up after them. I help all I can, but I'm out at work all day. while sister-in-law sits in the living room reading the paper. Last night I heard her say to my brother: *“I wish that at some time I might overhear some one talking about me. Then I would know what my faults are and why I have lost so many of my friends and I would try to improve.” Shall I tell her about her faults and how she can improve, or shall I keep quiet and let her go on abusing my mother? SIS. Answer: T earnestly advise you to take her at her word and tell her of her faults. There isn't one chance in a thousand that it will do her any good or change her in any respect, but there is a chance that it will make her so mad that she will get up and leave.

The name retained this spelling for some | time after the family settled in Amer- ica, but eventually assumed the forms Van Dyne and Van Dine. The old spelling is now seldom found in this country. The founder of the Van Duyn fam- ilv in America was Gerrit Corneliz van Duyp. who came from the Province of Overyssel with his wife, Jacomina, about 1649 and settled in New York (then called New Netherlands). The family engaged in agricultural pur- suits, was affiliated with the Dutch Church at New Utrecht, where Gerrit van Duyn served as deacon, and be- came substantial members of the Dutch colony. Gerrit Corneliz van Duyn died in 1706, leaving sons, Cornelius, Denys, Abraham Aecltie, Gerrit and Dirck.

PEATTIE. onset of 8pring in the District should turn to John Bur- roughs’ “Spring at the Capi- tal” which first appeared in the At- lantic Monthly, I think, and was John-o'-Bird’s first published nature sketch. It was reprinted in the popu- lar “Wake Robin,” a typical collec- tion of his earlier works. The title of the book, referring, in part, of course, to our little red trillium, often called wake robin, and partly to the whole sense of Spring's coming, was sug- gested by Walt Whitman. It used to be Burroughs’ habit, dur- | ing the Civil War, to make the hos- pital rounds with Whitman, who was | then acting as a male nurse to the Federal wounded. Whitman and Bur- | roughs used to go out to Cabin John for long confabs, and there is little doubt that Whitman left a strong impress on Burroughs, who would otherwise have been, by several de- grees, less warm and human and manly than he was. Between their | moralities, in the conventional sense, | there was, of course, the sharpest NY ONE who wishes to read !s the perfect description of the contrast. | Whitman himself has lett a few | poems or lines in poems having the | “feel” of District nature life. “When | Lilacs Last” is the best of these, of course, and only second to it stands “As Toilsome 1 Wandered Virginia's Woods.” It is odd. however, that so very little description of the country around the Capital has found its way into books. One reason is that, though many writers and naturalists visit Washington or even reside here a while, it is neither home to them nor | is it yet quite travel. My Neighbor Says: A paste made of starch and buttermilk, spread over an ink spot on a rug, will remove the spot. Let it stand until dry, then rub off. House plants grow toward the sun. Turn them frequently, so that they will not grow one-sided. Do not hang a taffeta dress in a warm closet. Heat is injurious to the sizing in the silk.

The Debunker BY JOHN HARVEY FURBAY, Ph.D. Many of the local scientists take comparatively little interest in the region where they draw their pay; their real enthusiasms are reserved for the birds of British Guiana or the flora of the South Sea Islands. They come to the great Washington mu- seums to “work up their collections.” One of the great exceptions was Elliott Coues, a “local boy” who “made 80od” as a naturalist of the first rank, and though he became a foremost authority on the birds of North Amer- ica, he always gave a first place to the Capital, his native town. Since his time many naturalists have specialized on the District birds, which are now more thoroughly known, I fancy, than thcse of any other area of equal size in the country. The District wild flowers have been pretty thoroughly collected, too. The great lacks are to be found in the fact that we have no guides to the mosses, lichens and fungi, nor to the insects as a whole, or indeed even in part, ex- cept the butterflies. It is not of the lack of scientific publications that we need complain, but of literary appreciation like John Burroughs’, transposed to the present- day style and temper.
