Love’s Awakening By Adele Garrison Madge Gains a Point By Thrusting Edith Fairfax Into a Hot Domestic Situation. 1 really feared that Dicky would choke as he heard me say that I must decline to have him turn over the decision of my personal affairs to Edith Fairfax. What's that?” he snarled at last. “What about Ede? What are you bringing her into this thing for?” “Only because she brought her- self in," 1 returned airily. “She tele. phoned while you were gone—wants you to call her up—I haven't had a chance to tell you before—and she took great pains to inform me that as of course 1 was going to stay out hera all Winter, there wasn't the slightest use of your remaining “Well! I'll he—" Dicky began, but 1 gave him no opportunity to finish the exclamation. “I believe her chief grievance is that you have been playing nurse- maid all Summer, first to Harry then (o Junior. She admonished me | to be sure not to break an arm or anything like that. I would have told her that in no case would any injury of mine keep you from your work with her, but unfortunately 1 had to hurry to Junior's room and could not reassure her upon that point. But I am sure that when you telephone her, you will be able to set her mind at rest.” 1 stopped talking with outward nonchalance which hid a choice as- sortment of tremors. 1 expected an- other explosion, and braced myself to meet a storm of objurgation. But I should have known from years of experience with my volatile Peter Pan that he often does the absolutely unexpected thing. His anger and his laughter are both set on such hair triggers that one fre. quently gives way to the other. ‘What it was in my speech that had pleased and calmed him, instead of adding to his irritation 1 did not know, but he suddenly threw back his head and laughed heartily “rom women and their vagaries, my | The Heart Story of a Steadfast Woman |good Lord deliver us!" he said. “That ought to be added to the Litany.

At | that, though, 1 can understand that you wouldn't care much for Ede's {advice upon the subject of your plans for next year. She is a bit ‘Ofli(lous. T'll admit, but she means |all right. T'll drop her a hint to {curb her yen for attending to our family affairs.” From underneath my eyelashes 1 | sent a keen glance at his face and | discovered a distinct if faint smirk | upon it. In his voice also there was a suspicion of smug pleasure, and I | puzzled no longer over the reason for his unexpacted mirthful reaction to the speach which in self defense T | purposely had made as irritating as | 1 could. | He had jumped to th conclusion that Edith's telephone conversation | had aroused my jealousy—I refused |to admit even to myself how ac-! {curate was his premise—and—a always — the idea of my being jealous of him had put him in such g0od humor that he had no room in his soul for anger. | But I read something else also in his face, and that was the tacit ac- knowledgment of my victory in the question of my keeping up with my | work. He might have persisted in his own determination that I should | give it up and stay at the farm- | house during the Winter, but Edith's eager suggestion to that ef- | fect had made it impossible for Kim to press the question.

It is good for a child to be with other children if they are not al- lowed to tease him, laugh at him, scare, or abuse him in any way. It is well tor a baby to sit and contentedly watch them play, He will ru new words, and actions to imitate and it will quicken his mental processes. A Baby Likes Initlative Play But as for actually taking part in their play, if they are “Keeping house” or playing pussy-wants-a- corner, or any galle requiring reasoning on his part, he will very likely be four years old, or more, before he can do it. If the others are sliding dosyn a board, he mey slide, too, it he is old enough and the board is low, and if they are Hunting the Wide World Over marching, he may march, These are purcly imitative actions. But up to four the little plays that are part of his mental development and rcasoning processes, will be largely solitary. Encourage Cuild to Make-Believe His greatest pastime will be to pretend. His imagination will have full swing. He should be en- couraged. He will pretend perhaps that he is a rabbit or other animal for a y at a time.

Hence the great and growing importance of our common-book-house, the public library.” That is the opinion of Linda A. Eastman, of Cleveland, newly clected president of the Library Association, first ever so honor:d. “The other woman factor responsible for the library’s popularity is the emphasis laid now on adult edu- cation,” she stated. “We are coming npw to the gencral realization of the fact that da A.

Perhaps in other Commandant Chicago, July 12.—You can hear a ruminative clicking as Command- ant Katherine G. Knight turns through the files in her office here. The sound is faintly suggestive of needles sliding back and forth as on a loom, weaving a pattern of mys- tery and drama which is the story that the records tell. Commandant Knight has one of the most unusual jobs in the world. She spends her entire life looking for lost needlos. She doesn’t hunt the kind ew with, however. Instead, she's constantly on the lookout for hu- man needles—the ones that get lost in the haystacks of civilization. The !rust Are Her Game The Conlmandant has charge of the Misging Friends Bureau for the eleven Central States of the Salva- tion Army. Her office is at army di- visional headquarters in Chicago. And from that spot she keeps a you searching even into the tinicst cran- nies and forgotten nooks where men and women, when they disappear, g0 to hide, With uncanny skill, this pleasant little woman s able to take up a cold trail leading back into the dis- tant past. She is a persistent, cling- ing shadow, following silently but surely down the pathways of the| missing. Not a Detective! Her efficiency could shame many a detective. But if you called her a detective, Commandant Knight would feel hurt. She reminds you that she searches only for frignds and has nothing whatever to do with crime or criminals. Cities are the haystacks most of her necdles get lost. And better than most any other person she holds the answer to such riddles as to why girls leave home, w husbands disappear and what prompts the queer quirk that fre- quenly turns formerly respected ci- tizens into tramps and derelicts. “Boys are hardest of all to find," said the (ommandant who each year sefs out to look for an average of 1,000 missing folks and finds better than 40 per cent of the total, a remarkable record. “Boys travel farthest when they disappear,” she explained. “A boy's will is the wind's will and when hoys start thinking the far-off thoughts of youth, they generally manage to run as far as they think and in most instances are lost for- ever." Girls Are Not Venturesome “Girls are not the venturesome sex, even though they do run away. Most every normal human at some time or other has wanted to pick up and get lost like a needle in a haystack. Howe she continued, “I've never yet found a girl who has run away to go on the stage or enter years girls did such things, but they don't any more, Nowadays a girl will run away because she's in trouble or just bored gith her surroundings. | But most usually they disappear to find independence (hrough earning their own livings, Boys, too, have gotten over a notion of running out west to fight Indians. But a lot of them are being lured away by the impossible dramatic situations por- trayed by cheap moving picture: Tove Keeps Wandercrs Home Husbands addicted to roving will require more watching in winter than at any time of year, Command- ant Knight said, because it's during the winter when coal bills and doc- tor bills begin to pile up, and the weather makes it hard for him to get outdoors. that the male is more apt to feel the call of the road and the itch to be off. “We're all nomads at heart,” the Commandant said. “It's only the strong who abide duty and care, while the weak abandon their oh- ligations when touched by the blight of the wanderlust. “Love is the best force to keep a home united and its members in- tact.” she concluded. “And if more parents would devote a little more love and affection to their children, there would be fewer runaways.” where SIMPLE DESSERT Bananas, oranges and canned cocoanut make a simple and very| good dessert, especially when chilled | a little before serving.
