Misa Nicholas glories in the achievement of others. Fhe had her own dreams of becoming an author but wide-tracked them for the newspaper work shop. Fhe has, however, written two volumes of stories, “An 1dyl of the Wabash” and “The Making of Themas Bar- ton.” She was associate editor of the ter becoming it “Mary has gone for a drive with Eleanor Lincoln, George Jackson and Noel Veritzen,” I told him, “while Katherine and Marion have gone to the village on a shopping trip with Mother Graham." “I ace you still nejghbors their one hundred per cent American names,” he said with a grin. Ho was keeping his voice down to a low murmur so that it coyld not possibly disturb Junior even if he were regaining conscious- ness. Intuitively 1 knew that he was trying to keep my mind occu- pied with idle chatter, and though I pesented even that slight interrup- tion to the vigil T was keeping, 1 gratefully played up to his kind- news. “I try to do that even Wwhen thinking of them,” I said, “for no one outside our circle here save Mr. Veritzen knows that Miss Lin. coln is Princess Olina of Transva- | rig, and that young Mr. Jackson is Prince George of Trees. They both are copecially anxious that and Noel shall not guess their identity as yet.” Mr, Underwood chuckled softly. | #I wonder how long it'll take them to come out of the ether,” he sald. “They sure are doing the Zenda and Graustark stunt all over the map, but I give them about three months longer, probably less, | until they see this is a real world, | net a three-volume romantic novel.” The sound of a motor horn blow- ing ateadily came into the room, faintly at first, but getting louder every second. We all knew the soynd of that horn and why it was blewing. There is a hedge of lilacs at the side of the farmyard which obstructs a view of the road. Whenever Mother Graham is in the cap she insists that the driver be- gin to blow several yards from the entrance and kept on blowing un- til the car is safely in the farm- yapd. The next second Dicky rushed up the stairs, meeting Lillian at the doer of the room. I knew the theught that was in their minds as | well as in mine and Harry Under- woed's, but characteristically, it was Lilllan who gave it voice. #Madge! You and Dicky must go down to Mother Graham. I'fl stay with Junior. I won’t take my eyes trom him until you get back. Bet- ter get Katrina to one side and tip hep off first s0 she can have a hypodermic ready if your mother’s hegrt goes back on her.” With a grateful glance at her, T joiped Dicky and we hurried down- | stal Dieky said, “and keep her talking, while you tell Katherine. Then, when she’s ready and Mother's in- side, we can riak telling her.” The car with Katherine driving came into the driveway and stepped by the side veranda. Dick went to his mother's side of the car and across her head, I saw him sig- nal Katherine to hurry into heyse. ThLe little nurse needs but the traction of a hint to go into in- stant action, and the next instant ahe was in the hall, where I met her. “Junior fell from a tree, congcjeus. The doctor docen’t think it's dangerous, but will you get voyr hypodermic read? We'r to teli——" T had no chance to finish the sentence. She flying up the stairs, and in record-breaking fime had everything ready for an emer- geney treatment of Dicky's mother should the news prove too much of & shock for ber. “I'll stay in here” she ting her preparations belind a pile of books, “while you go out to her. RBring lLer iuside, of course, fore you tell her.” Dreading the task 1 walked out where Dicky was show- ing his mother a rare rose which had opened while she was in the village, Tt was one which she had tended self, and she s0 absorbed that she did not sce Jerry Ticer running toward her and Dieky, his face contorted with grief and frizght, Dicky's back was ward our zood-hearted hut thinking voung neighbor, theugh 1 1 toward the hoy wag met in time to stop his cry “Oh!

Her eyes were narrowed, piercing. ‘But Jerry Ticer said—" she be- gan and T was fervently thankful when Dicky struck in, his voice keyed to just the right note of im- patient scorn. “Jerry Ticer!” he said. “Did ever that lad get anything right in his whole life? And Katie's heen off her nut ever since she saw the kid fall from the tree.” As if the word had been a Dbetter tonic than the hypodermic, Dicky's mother raised herself to a sitting posture, and looked sternly at her son. We knew better than to inter- fere with her sitting up, but Kath- erine unobtrusively piled pillows be- hind her and held them in such & position that she was supported against them. “What tree was it?” she asked. 1 forbore looking at my husband. T knew the tree she meant, It had heen the gubject of a long standing contro sy in which Dicky on ene side was ranged against his moth- er, Katherine and me. Junior had been taught by his father to climb trees and I raiscd no objection te | his climbing the smaller ones which had low branches and from which a fall to the soft grass was not par- tlcularly dangerous. But this tree in the orchard and higher branches than ahy the small boy had been permitted to climb, and Mother | Graham, Katherine and J had agreed that he was not old enough yet to attempt it. Dicky, howeve! with masculine pride in his son'a prowess was obstinately set upen granting Junior's repeated requests 10 climb it, and I knew that he muat have given his consent in spite of our wishes, for our little lad, though possess:d of his share of childish faults, never disobcys a specific command.

One for yachting has its suit with blue silk By JEAN PATOU. Pariah, May 19—My pajama suits are, 1 think, the most striking fea- ture of my &ummer collection. When I first showed pajamas they caused & good deal of astonishment. I had been to the Lido, however and had realised the possibilities as well as the important part which this wection of women's dress was to play in the future, Yoy have to see these suits ac- tually worn on the beach te be con- vinced of their appropriateness, I'n- til then, their proper setting seems quite naturally to be the boudoir or dressing yoom, A modern woman'a wardrobe now would be eensidered quite incom- plete if it did net include two or three of the pajama suits for the beach. I purposely have kept to very feminine atyles and all my models could just as well be worn Indoors as out of doers. Orepe de Chine Best. In accordance with the general outlines of my last collections I have used the very softest and dainticst of materiala for these pajamas, but I somehow prefer crepe de chine of & heavy quality te any other silk. I have taken good care that these suita should be deveid of the slight- est trace of scantiness. My object waa that a woman should contrive te look just as dressed {n one of thése pajama sulta as in an ordinary beach frock. T have taken over inte the beach ensemble field, all the charming feminine touches also. Jabots, pleats, incrustations, eodd and flattering necklines all find place here. I feel that there ahould be a finished amartness abouyt these eostumes, theugh the atmosphere of them is decidedly informal. Costs Are Long, Three-quarter coats as & ryle ac- cempany the pajama auit, A short- er coat is lem becoming with the long legs of the pajamas. Beach hats are anether part of this season's consideration. Large, tloppy, these hats have more of the dressy look about them than the cessories. rough and ready. They should, how- ever, never have more than a fancy banding for trimming. Bimplicity is the rule for beach attire. When I use plain silk, T prefer soft, blues, pinks and yellows and the wrap usually is et a flowered design. A figured silk pajama, on the other hand, is better set off by a wrap of plain material in the col- or predeminating in the design. This idea is earried right through the ac- GEORGETTE OOATS Plain georgette ceats over printed silk frocks are Paris’ latest sugges- tien.

Longhill at ence moved an equal distance away. “Well, you see, it'’s this way,” sald Longbill, “When I'm bering | holea, T want to be able to see be- {hind me and all around me. If my | eves were 'way down near the be- ginning of my bill, the way the eyes of some birds are placed, they weuldn't do me much good when I'm boring holes.” “Excuse me, Mr. Longbill” said [ Cubby, trying te be very, very po- lite, “have you anything te do with all these holes in the ground around here?" “Not mow,” replied Lengbill, “byt T have had. You sce, I bored them myself. Of course, you knew that." Cubby shook his head. “Ni said he, “I didn’t know it. I have beep wendering and wondering and wendering whe made those holes and what for. May I see you bore |one?” “Certainly,” replied Longbly “I'll | bore one just as soon as I ean lo- cate a worm.” “What has & worm got to do with it?”" demanded Cubby. “Everything,” replled Longbill. “What do you think I bore these holen for?" “That's what I eaid Cubby. “What them for?"” “To fill my stomach, ef ceurse!” replied Longbill, in a tone of dis- uat. want to know,” do you bore Cubby blinked. “Do you mean to te]l me,” paid he, “that you eat the earth yeuy take out of those holea?" Buch & look as Longbill gave | Cubby! “Say,” he demanded, “do 1 look Itke a dirt eater “No,” replied Cubby Very prompt- 1y, “but § don't yet understand aboyt thome h . Longbill cocked his head to one side. “Listen!" ssid he. Cubby cocked his head te ene side and listened. “I den’t hear anything,” he ventured, after a second op two. “Don’t you hear that worm?"* de. manded Longbill. Cubby looked puzzled. He looked just as he felt, “No,” said he, *I don't hear any worm.” “Watch me!"” eommanded Long- blil. Thereupon, with that long bill of his, he began to bore a hole in the soft ground. And he did it very quickly, indeed. His bill went down until his forehead almost touched the ground. Then he pulled it out and Cubby had juat time to see the tall of & worm disappearing as Longbill swallowed, and then opened and shut his bill as if with great satisfaction. Often things you can't explain, When understooed are very plain. ~Cuybby Bear Cubby Bear's eyes opened very wide. You knew, his eyes are mot 20 big for bis slze. 80 they are in sailor collar heavily braided. some other falk. But they were big and round now. He had just watch- ed Longbill the Woedcock bore a hole in the earth and draw eout & worm, and he couldn't understand it at all. ‘How did you know that worm was down there?" demanded Cubby. Longbill answered with another questton. “Didn’t you aee me lis- Cubby nodded. “Yes, but I lis- tened, too, and I didn't hear any- thing,” said he. "Even if you did hear it, how could you tell when you reached it? You didn't see jt." “Certainly not," replied Lon bill. “It wasn't necessary to see it, It a flea bites you, you den’t have to see it to know that fiea bit you, de you?" Cubby blinked his eyes. “Say,” sald he, “we're not talking about fleas, we're talking about worms. De yey mean me to underatand that that worm bit yeu?" “Certainly net,” retorted Longhill. “How foollsh! That worm couldn't have bitten if it wanted to. Earth- worms den’t bite. Yoy are net very smart, Cubby Bear. What I meant vou to understand was that I have a sense of feeling. Let me put it another way. If you put your paw dewn en a atick, yoy den’t have to look to see that it ia & atick, do you?" o," said Cubby, “I could by the sense of feeling.” “Exactly,” replied Longbill, ‘“ex- actly, I can tell when I have reach ed a worm by the sense of feeling. 1 don't have to see it.” Cubby seratched his head and then wrinkled his forehead, “Ex- cuse me, Mr. Longbill,” asaid he, “but what do yeuy feel with?" “My bill, of course. What else ;l;wld T fee] with?" replied Long- 1. “But-but-but-how can you feel with a thing like that?” demanded Cubby. “And even {f you ean feel with it, how ean you open it to take held of the worm?” Now, I auspect that it Lenghill could have grinned, he weyld have grinned right then and there. Tes, sir, 1 suspect that is just what he would have dene. Instead, he walk- ed just twe or three steps mearcr Cubby Bear, And then he did a funny thing. He epened his bill without opening his mouth. What 1 mean is this: He opened the lower part of his bill, while the upper part remained closed tight. The two parts of & bird's bill are ealied the mandible. There is the lewer mandi- ble and the ypper mandible.. You know yoy have twe lips—the lower lip and the upper lip. It is the aame way with &’ birda’ bill. The wupper mandible takes the place of yeur upper lip, and the Jower mandible takes the place of your lower lip. Now, as Cubby leoked ot that long bill, he discovered that the up- per mandible was lifted for about & third of its length. Jt was movable. 1t was easy to see hew Longbill could take hold of & worm down in the ground. “My,” said Cubby, “that is a handy biM."” “It certainly is,” replied Longbill proudly, “I ecan feel & worm with it and then I can grab it, and all the time my bill is down in the ground. fo you see § don’t need my eyea to find the worm. Just let me hear a worm in the ground, and it he t too far down, I'll get him. There's one right below me now.” Longbill thrust his handy bill down into the ground and pulled out another worm, and left a nice, little, round hole, just like the heles Cubby had first geen, which used to puzsle him so.
