R A e RN LOVE'S EMBERS Adele Garrison's Absorbing Sequel To “Revelations Beginning a New Serial Lillian Engages Veritzen in the Menlal Task of Gathering Driftw There was apparently nothing bu his usual smooth smiling courtesy in | Philip Veritzen's reception of Lil- lian's gibing Invitation to renew his| youth by gathering driftwood with her., But I was standing near enough to him to catch a glimpse of the tiny spark of resentment which flamed for an instant away back in his brilliant dark eyes, and then vanished again. Although the great producer does not cheapen his dig- nity by aping the dress or manner- isms of extremely young men, I realized early in my acquaintance that he likes neither to remember that he has passed life)s meridian, nor to be reminded of the fact. To my surprise his poise was not proof against the temptation to re- turn Lilljan’s thrust. “Is that your reason for going? he asked, smiling. The lttle laugh which she gave him {n answer was more malicious than any retort could have been. | “Ot course,” she sald. “I never miss an opportunity of joining the | gambols of youth.” | “But suppose T prefer the socicty of the youngest person in the party,” he ntur?d with a gallant littie | bow to Mother Graham. My mother-in_law laughed, with a | sprightly little wave of the hand at | him. “My dear man,” she said, “you know all children should have a nap in the afternoon. I'm going to take | mine now. Go on and gather drift- | wood or sea shells. I shall be per- fectly all right.” “She will have a faithful paniop at her feet,” Katherin in, soiiling. “I have the first toms of a headache which all right if T coddle it, which would spoil me for the party if 1 zathered driftwood in the sun.

Of course you are coming with us, Mrs. Graham?"” His manner was perfect in fits graduation, the utmost deference to Mother Graham, the familiarity of ears of comradeship with Lillian, and to me the perfect courtesy of duration to be termed freindship. But I had the | sturbing consciousness that his at titude toward me was for my mother-in-law's benefit alone, and resentfully observed the quirking of | Lillian’s lips which told me that she | too was discounting his elaborate | formality. ¥or awhile T could not fathom my | dragging my ely employer along the beach to pick up driftwood when there were already so many younger helpers engaged in the task. Then I re- membered Lillian's gamin-like pro- pensity for making things uncom- fortable for someone who had in- curred her displeasure. She was thoroughly annoyed at Philip Verit, zen for what she considered his un- warrantable interference with the youthful idyll of his son and X Harrison, and not wishing to tax bim with his offense, she had taken | this absurd way without his guessing that he being discinlined it Whitefoot Goes Exploring | Some folk, 'twould seem, are never | meant To know the meaning of content. —O0ld Mother Nature. Wouldn't ¥ou suppose that any one | who was better off than he had ever | been before would be content? But somefolks never are quite content. When they get what they want, or think they want, right away they ! think of something else to want. | There are many people in this great | world just like that. Whitefoot the Wood Mouse was, as you know, living in a little wren- liouse put up especially for him on the edge of the Old Orchard. He had one of the best beds he had ever | had. Farmer Brown's Boy saw 1o it that always there was plenty of | tood for him. He didn't have & | thing in the world to worry about so0 lopg as he was reasonably watch- ful, Perhaps it was because things | were too easy that he began to get a bit discontented. 1t often is that way. Things we do not have to work for seldom are uppreciated. Anyway, Whitefoot began to go ex- vloring. That is, each night he wan- dered a little farther from home, al- ways, however, taking care to et back home before daylight. He v down along the old stonewall to- ward the Green Forcst. He looked mto every little hole beiween the stones. He went up the old stone- wall to Farmer Brown's dooryard. There too he explored every little liole in the old stonewall. By the time he got through there wasn't much to know about that old wall that Whitefoot didn’t know. Now, sitting on the old wall up near Farmer Brown's dooryard Whitefoot had discovered that as he looked over along the edge of t Old Orchard, he could see s queer box-like things, He could svo hem in the moonlight, H: knew they wanted to be explored by L curious little Wood Mousc.

Out of 193 honors granted by King George V at the beginning of 1928, only 25 were conferred on women and these were of the low rank. The Women's Freedom league in view of women's records of accomplishment considers this an unfair reflection on their public activities. “Peerages, have been given to two conservative members of par- liament and a former governor of igeri the league declared in a formal statement. “Why was the Duchess of Atholl, the parliamen- tary secretary to the board of edu- cation, not given a similar dis- tinction.” Of 30 men who won knighthoods, 12, according to Miss Frances A. Underwood, secretary of the lcague, were granted for political and public services, two of the men were distinguished surgeons and one a journalist—but no wo- man in these spheres was given an equivalent honer. “There are a great many women just as deserving as men, and we particularly think that women should be made privy councillors” Miss Underwood said. *“I do not see why women should not be given peerages, , baronetcies and knight- hoods. ere should be no dis- tinction whatever now that men and women are doing the ®amse work. “It is the privy council which has decided that women should not be admitted to the diplomatic and consular and Indian civil services and if women went on the council I think this would be altered.” British women have just had an year, More women were chosen for the office of mayor than in any other year.
