Madge Sees Philip Veritzen's Hand in a Delicate Situation. 1 stared at my mother-in-law in delighted surprise as she calmly told me that she and my father had planned every detail about taking eare of Junior while 1 should be at work in the city. It was such a re- lief to find this particular phase of my problem already scttled so satis- factorily, that for a moment 1 had not vords in which to express my astonished appreciation. But I knew that I words and that speedily. My mother in-law does not in the least resemble the modest violet—she s far more akin to the hollyhock, and she likes to make sure that she receives full credit for her frequent kindly im- pulses. With an excited little laugh —the only comment 1 was afile to make in that first moment of sur- prise, T leaned forward in my chair, and looked steadily at her. “How perfectly astonishin, wonderful!” T exclaimed at last, and my father flashed a half mirthfu but wholly comprehending and ap- proving smile at me. possess clairvoyance!” “No, only commion must find nd sense,” my mother-in-law reterted, patently en- | joving herself “It's always been one of my principles that a person having a job should stick to it until | ft's done.

Stickytoes the Tree Toad, who, as T have told you before, is really a Trec I'rog, felt as if he just couldn't wait for Bcrapper the Kingbird to come back and tell him about his cousin Big Stickytoes, who lives down in the warm coun: where Scrapper goes cvery winter. It was two days before Scrapper canie back to where | in apple | Btickytors was, in a cer tree in the Old Orchard. No sooner had Scrapper settled himself than Btickytoes began to tease for more about his hig cousin Scrapper tormented him for a few | minutes by pretending not to know | Then he | what he was talking about took pity on Stickyvtoes, “Your big | cousin,” said he, ought to be called Big Stickytoes, and that is just what I am going to call hin. Along in the latter part of the dry season Big Btickytoes begins to think about mate, just as you o carly in the spring. But Big Stickytoes knows that he cannot find a mate by look- ing for her, and that she will not eome looking for himn until he has a 1ittle pool for her to live in. So, just a4 birds build nests, Big Stickytoes, makes a pool. He hunts up the bed of a brook that is pretty well dried up, and he finds a nice little san har close to the little water that remains, Then he digs a little hLole in the sand elose to the wuter's edge. With hie front feet he pats the sand into a lit- tle sort of dam all hole, After a while ereeping in through the and by there is « Partly fill that Lol then a little pool Stickytoes i do the middle of th: around his hittle water ealle.

Paris, June 22 UP—Bathing suit designers this scason are in a nau- tical and piratical mood. Insignia of the sailor's craft ap- pear on the new suits. There are embroidered anchors and actual bits of rope as shoulder trimming. The piratc's knotted kerchief is in- dispensable. The long pirate ear rings in rubberized seaworthy jewel- ry are sometimes a part .! the bathing cap. An important house is showing extremely rakish and piratical suits sailor flare. With them are heige jerseys and red sashe: Jersey capes with fringe made of strips of jersey bear out the pirate note. They are thrown over one |shoulder with a long, sweeping | movement. Other costumes give the appear- ance of a tailored suit. They are worn |colors, and have a wrap around skirt and jacket which are easily divested as the mermaid in jersey and tights emerges ready for a plunge.

Marion, Mass., June 22 (®—Ctvics class in the public school of the lit- tlg town of Marion has been linked this year in unusual manner with governments in the world outside the class room. Framed portraits of President and Mrs. Coolidge, inscribed “to the children of Marion,” hang upon the walls with autographed pictures of premiers and presidents and kings of other lands. A book case con- tains reference works contributed by a dozen nations. In addition the children have corresponded ~with Jane Addams, Herbert Hoover, Governor Smith of New York an$ other leaders of public affairs. This out-of-the-ordinary school room collection 1s the idea of Miss Ruth 8. White, a teacher who be- lieves that he way to hold the in- terest of her children is to help them collect first hand Information about | | the subjects in their books. As a bit of seasoning for geography she got them an alligator from Florida which lived in the class room until Christmas ushered in severe cold { weather and was then returned to the southland. Miss White's children have writ- | countries and*advice on civic prob- lems. The rcsponse has brought to- | gether an extensive collection of pictures, letters and hooks. Miss Masako Matsudaira, daughter of the | | Japanese ambassador to the United States, in answer to a note written | by a Marion school child wrote back | | discussing subjects of childhood in- | terest, In another latter Robert L. [ Clarkson, president of the Chase National bank of New York, des- ierihes the essentials to success in business. “Truly great people hayainvari- | lably answered requests from the school children more willingly than those of lesser importance,” Miss | Whits says. “Each contribution | has brought on more research work. | The whole collection has cost us no {more than stamps and paper and (it has filled the children with en- { thusiasm.
