Love’s Awakening By Adele Marien's Seifish Jealousy Causes Katherine to Become Alarmed for Lillian. Katherine is too close to me to foel compslled to hide her real feel- ings beneath the professional mask with which her years as a nurse have armed her. There was real anxiety in her voice and eyes as she asked me if anything besides the Brixton letter had disturbed Lillian during the day, and the knowledge that she was worried broke do“n: the reserve I might otherwise have felt at speaking of Marion's actions. “Yes, she has had rather a trying day with Marion,” I said, “and an exciting one all around.” “Do you mind telling me about it?" Katherine said quietly, drawing forward a chair for me. “You know I wouldn't ask it it T didn’t think it | necessary for me to know what is troubling Lillian.” “Why, do you think——2" T be- gan, startled. think we may have another nervous breakdown on our hands such as she suffered several years| ago, remember?" Did I remember? I caught my| breath at the memory of that time when Lillian’s life and reason hung | in the balance for weeks. “] see you do,” Katherine com- mented grimly. Don't look so alarm- ed, The thing isn't inevitable, nor imminent. I'm sure we can ward ‘t\ off it we can get at what's worrying | her. But, if she keeps on driving herself with as taut a rein as she's using now, she'll take a header be- fore very long.” “1 think the whole trouble lies in Lilllan's adoration of Marion and her exaggerated, almost morbid gense of duty toward the girl” I| said slowly. “And Marion is acting like a spoiled baby. She resents ev- ery famillar nickname Harry uses toward Lilllan, every bit of com- radely conversation he carries on with her.” There's danger lurking by the way or those who travel night or day. —O0ld Mother West Wind Having made up their minds that | 90 long as Yowler the Bobcat and Mrs, Yowler had two kittens in the Green Forest for whom to hunt, the safest place for themselves would be inside Farmer Brown’s sugar house, Whitefoot the Wood Mouse and Mrs. Whitefoot wasted no time in starting. It was quite a journey for such little people from where they were then living. Yes, sir, it was quite a journey. “We'll go in the daytime instead of at night,” said Mrs. Whitefoot. Whitefoot looked at her doubtful- ly. “Why, my dear? Why?" he asked. “Because,” replied Mrs. Whitefoot, “those Bobcats are out at nights and sleep in the daytime. That is, they sleep most of the day. They don't do & great deal of hunting in the daytime.” “But you know, my dear,” said Whitefoot, “we always feel safer at night than in the daytime.” “Yes," replied Mrs. Whitefaot. “but in this case it is different. 1f| Yowler and Mrs. Yowler hunt all night they won't be likely to be roaming around after jolly, round, bright Mr. Sun is up in the blue, blue sky. So that is when we will travel."” 8o it was that the next morning when the Jolly Little Sunbeams were dancing all through the Green For- est Whitefoot and Mrs. Whitefoot started off. One right at the heels of the other they_would run swiftly from one bit of cover to another. Then they would sit for a few min- | utes, with their little hearts going | pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat, while | they looked and listened for possible enemies, Once they had a terrible | fright, It was Buster Bear who came | shuffling along and almost stepped on them. It was a good thing that| Buster wasn’t hunting just then. It was also a good thing that there | wasn't a breath of air stirring. So| it was that he didn't smell them.| But those two little mice were as| frightened as two mice could be. At last they reached the suga house.

Of course Lillian saw it, and was distressed accordingly.” “Yes, 1 know that ‘way’ he has Katherine said. “Pity he couldn’t tone it down a little when he knows the effect it has on Marion. He ought to remember that, to a sensi- tive girl, it's almost like having her mother die to have to share her with a stepfather.

It's her innings now, let her have her mother as much as pos- sible. In the meantime I'll take the young woman aside and throw the fear of God into her about her mother's nerves and health.” (To Be Continued) “We'll go t the daytime instead of at night,” said Mrs. Whitefoot Life’s Niceties HINTS ON ETIQUET 1, 1Is it necessary to give Christ. mas presents to others in the place of business where you work? 2.

There is a tendency towards few- er bows, bustles and real ornament- ation below the walatline.

MORRIS FISHBEIN \[ Editor Jourual of the American Me- | dical Association and of Hygela, | the Health Magazine One of the most common ques- tions asked nowadays has to do with | the danger of marriage between | first cousins. It was estimated many vears ago | that about three per cent of all mar- | riages are between first cousins and that such marriages are three times as common among the aristocracy | and the wealthy as among the poor- | er classes of society. Tt is a common belief that cousin | marrlages may lead to physical and | mental deterioration of the children | to an increase in the number of in- fant deaths, and to a decrease in | births. In many of the | United’ States cousin | forbidden by law, and in countries that are majority Catholic, first cousin marriages are forbidden ex- {cept by special dispensation. The evi-y | dence opposed to such marriages is | targely folklore, and is hased on in- | vestigations made in restricted com- | munities in which the initial stock was not itself of a supcrior type.

Menus of the Family BY SISTER MARY Breakfast—Chilled apple sauce, cereal, cream, fish balls, tomato sauce, cornmeal and wheat muffins, milk, coffec. Luncheon—8tuffed eggplant rais- emphasized by a skirt yoke of slant- ing line that introduces uneven go- dets on the rear left and front n;ht side. This peculiar treatment gives a new armhole, one that would have been rejected last scason, a wide, full one that allows a blouse to the bodice and a much fuller ap- pearance than heretofore featured. The front blouses also, with the same tight line from the normal waist to hipline. On a black satin gown of prin- cesn lines, T have used to advantage an irregular rear decolletage and to emphasize its irregularity have piped it with white velvet, which gives It & very soft line. Blightly above the waistline, a white-lined black satin bow with three loops falls gracefully, like a jabot. One Has Organ Pleats The front of this gown has the same irregular neckline and an ir- regular hemline. . A third type of unusual back treatment is seen in a brown trans- parent velvet gown with organ pleat- ing attached to a long bodice.

This gives a charming slant to the back of the dress, which is followed by the upward slope of the upper folds of the full skirt.
