Love’s Embeaers Adele Garrison’s Absorbing Sequel to “Revelations of a Wife” Beginning Eleanor Wins Point Over Mary By Coquette’'s Strategy Eleanor Lincoln's ruse to enable her to sit beside Noel Veritzen upon the front seat of her car was as transparent as it was While 1 have not the “flapper fig- ure,” yet 1 can still lay claim to the adjective “slender,” while Mary illness had left her thin enough to win the championship pounds in a weighing contest of re- ducing young “moderns.” Miss Lin- coln's own slim, willowy figure made | to crowding | her little speech as Mary and me in the back seat a laughable thing, if there had becn anybody to laugh at it. But there was no mirth in faces of any of us. Noel Veri was still so filled with resentme against “Mr. George Logan Jackson’ that he patently found it hard to be civil to the young woman who breezily and confidently took her seat beside him. Mary’s lovely young face openly showed jealous fury at Miss Lincoln which was sweeping over her, although she uttered no word and was palpably fighting for poise, while I was an- noyed and puzzled by the bizarre incidents in which we just had heen participants. The young chatelaine of The Larches, however, showed no trace of embarrassment and confusion, though I guessed that beneath her jaunty exterior she was fighting both emotions. But she laughed and chatted with Noel all the way to the farmhouse, as if nothing troub- ling had ever come near her, toss- ing just enough conversation in Mary's direction and mine to acquit her of the charge of discourtesy. She was keen enough, however, to comprehend the strain which her bizarre actions had put upon our courtesy, and when Noel had driven her car into the farmyard and we had alighted, resisted all my polite importunities to stay for luncheon. “I'd love to,” she said, “but it is impossible.

BURGESS Forget revenge; 'twill seldom pay; Get even in some other way. —O0ld Mother West Wind | If ever there was a scared Coyote, | that Coyote was Mrs. Coyote when one of Buster Bear's irrepressible cubs landed on her. You know, she had been curled up fast asleep and dreaming. The young cub had been pushed by his sjster, and when she saw what was going to happen he was as badly scared as a young cub could be. The result was that he had all his claws out and his arms and legs were moving almost before he landed, in his-effort to get away. Now, a little bears claws are sharp. They dug into Mrs. Coyote. She wakened with a velp of dismay and for a minute Mrs. Coyote and that little Bear were all mixed up, each trying to get away from the other. Mrs. Coyote didnt’ know what it was She smelled Bear and that was enough for her. She had just been dreaming ahbout Buster Bear and she was sure that this was Buster Bear himself. So the instant she was frea she streaked down the path as thst as her feet would take her, her tail between her legs. Meanwhile the mischievous little . cub who had pushed her brother was rolling over and over on the ground with glec. Yes, she was so! She kicked her heels. She fairly squealed. As for her brother, he lost his temper. Really he had becn quite as badly frightened as hadl Mrs. Coyote. When Mrs. Coyote started down the path he started up the path. . Now tha memories of lit like the memories of litle short. Finding he wasr chased, he stopped. Then very tiously he peered behind him. SICK WOMAN SOON RECOVERS By Taking Lydia E.

MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hy- gela, the Health Magazine Four hundred children who came to one of the Massachusetts clinics tor mental hygiene were studied by an investigator to determine scme of the reasons for their delinquency. Sixty-six per cent came from homes with foreign customs. Forty-three per cent were of Italian parentage, 23 per cent of Jewish parentage ~and about 25 per cent of American-born rar- cnts. The percentage was natur- ally influenced to some extent by | the fact that the clinic in question was located in a neighborhood of foreign-born persons classified as low middle class. In most of these homes Lttle| reading was done, other than in a foreign or American daily news- paper. Actually 38.5 per cent of the children lacked any educa- tional opportunities at more than half of them had par- ents who were themselves to be characterized as ignorant. One- third of the children lacked nor- mal opportupity for play because of the congested neighborhood in which they lived. An investigation showed ihat much of the shutrin character of these children was due to the fact that the mothers failed to let them out because of the danger of th immoral assoclations or ac- cidents likely to occur in the street. In 51 cases, friction between the parents and relatives at home was constant, and was connected in most instances with drink, gambling and lack of parential re- sponsibility on the father's part. When parents quarrel coustantly. the effects on the children are promptly noticeable. Ten per cent of the children had parents who were handi- capped by physical illness, the father being unable to work wnd the mother being compelled to be away in order to aid the family living. In the cases of 75 of the chil- dren, one or both of the parents were neurotic and mentally un- balanced types. Tt is significant | that 85 of the children w con- sidered to be the victims of too much solitude by their parents. In many instances the child was an only child with a neurdctic mother. The Jewish mother: made up 58 per cent of thosé classified as oversolicitous. The clinic workers felt that this was a part of the Jewish ideals, since the | mothers were proud to tell of | their untiring devotion to their | children, especially in sickness. The factor of great importa:ce vas the physical defect present in delinquent children. One-third had bad teeth and large tonsils or ade- noids, or other physical defects which made it impossible for them to get along equally with healthful children in the community. In practically all investigations delinquent or retarded chil- of | innumerable way: melted butter, 1 egg, 3-4 cup milk, home and | axing powder. Beat egg until light and mix with milk.
