Love’s Awakenmg By Adele T was careful not to look at Marion as I told her that Harry Underwood was waiting to take her to Riverhead for her motor license. I guessed that her pride and dislike of her stepfather would war with | her child-like longing for the privi lege of driving the new car, and 1 wanted to give her the chance to “save face.” But my ruse failed. The incident of the breakfast table apparently had wounded her vanity too deeply for immediate recovery. “I'm sorry, Auntie Madge,’ she said, *but I can’t possitfly go this morning.

T stiffened my resolution with the conviction that a bit of apparent | brutality was the best cure for hys- | teria, and instead of sweeping her into my arms for comfort as I long- | ed do do, I spoke crisply: “What absolute nonsense, Marion! | You know perfectly well that your mother doesn’t need you, that Aunt Katherine wants her to have perfect quiet all the morning, You'll be back almost before she knows mu—nsuq St-dlm Wo-u Garrison of steel in her gray eyes. *“Of course what you mean is that you can't pretend to ilke your stepfather Jjust to please your mother, but no one is asking you to do that.

He has spared no pains to try to make casier this situation—as difficult for kim as for you, remember.” “I suppose that was what he was doing this morning at the break- fast table,” she said sullenly. “A mere bit of thoughtlessness, said sharply “and you will not be given that cause for rancor again. | Do you know that he is going to the city to stay all of the rest of your vacation, leaving the car here for vour mother and you, just because he feels that his presence here is making you unhappy, of course result of worrying your t emotion which swept you're gone.

He had been around it many times. When he was a small Bear he had even been inside it and gotten into all kinds of mischief there. He knew that at this time of year Farmer Brown and Farmer Brbwn's boy were seldom at the sugar-house. He also knew that at this time of year there was no sugar inside and no syrup. So it was idic curiosity that led him to prowl around the litte house and snifl. In- side, Whitefoot the Wood Mouse and Mrs. Whitefoot and Trader the Wood Rat, who had their homes there now shivered at the sound of those sniffs Little cold chills ran all over them. They were sure that Buster smelled them and they were equally sure that, if he did, he would try to break in and get them. they shivered and shivered. As a matter of fact, Buster didn't smell them at all. He was just snifing out of force of habit. “Oh, dear, I wish he would go away!” whispered little Mrs, White- foot to Whitefoot. “I can't feel s & minute with him around. I don’t #ee what he had to come over here tor.” Now if Mrs. Whitefoot had been peeping out a moment later sh might have changed her mind. She might have been very glad that great big Buster Bear was right where he was. Certainly, she would have been surprised at what she saw. Buster had just turned away from the sugar-house when he caught a glimpse of what he thought was a mouse darting across in front of him and disappearing behind a log. In- stantly he was after it. Buster dear- ly loves a fat Mouse. It is the choic est kind of tithit to Buster ; But as he reached to pull over that log a little brown form suddenly leaped up on the log. Buster made & quick pass at it with one big paw ‘The little brown form dodged. 1t dodged with amazing quickness ane 1t didn’t run. It suddenly sat up and falrly hissed at great big Duster Bear. Of course you know who it was. It was Shadow the Weasel. “What are you trying to do, you big brute?” hissed Shad “Do you suppose I'm afraid of you?” Buster growled away down deep in his throat, and he made another awift pass. It was surprising how swiftly those big, clums paws could move.

Wot cha’ mean, he a \ lessons for various grades which continue throughout the school year and which indicate the manner in which systematic health® training may be carried on. For instance, during 8eptember children in the first grade learn about the importance of cleaning the face, hands, neck and ears: in the second grade, the chief atten- tion is given to the hair and nails; in the third grade, to the mouth, the teeth and the fingers; in the higher grades, infection from cloth- ing, books and human contacts are studied, as well as the manner in which the body cells work to over- comie disease. Posture and the Body In October the leszons are con- cerned chiefly with the question of posture and play. The children are taught about the importance of p'ay for mental hygiene and they learn posture by marching, gymnasties, by blackboard demonstrations, and by the study of posture in the school and on the street. 3 In the higher grades, special at- tention is given to the way in which the body is constructed, and par- ticularly to the development of the skeleton and the muscies In November one of the chief considerations is the prevention of colds. The younger grades are told about fresh air, about the removal of outside wraps in the classroai® and about the proper use of a clean hLandkerchief. The middle grades are told about the cae of overshoes and wraps. The higher grades study not only the breathing blood circula- tion, but also about the germs as- sociated with colds, the methods of preventing colds through the avoid- ance of contacts and through pro- per ventilation and clotljing.

A few reasons ago the coolle or Pullman coats gave all lounging apparel a uniformity that may have made for comfort but cer- tainly not for individuality. This autumn the lounging garb is decorative and individual, first and foremost. Tea gOWN are in favor and trailing negligees are the first choice with some smartly clad women. The pajama euit in its new feminine versions, with odd touches to the sleeves and jacket, is very smart. Even bed-jackets, those abbreviated nothings that can be s0 lacy and pretty, are hav- ing & vogue, Lusurious Fabrics Used Negligees are both rich ani practical. Satins, charmeuse, bro- cades, Ninon, lace, taffeta and crepe all are used. Figurced prints take plain colors to give them contrast. Lines are loose and tlowing and slecves have tremen- dous originality Many _ elbow length ‘eleeves have trailing lengtn to end them. Bkirts are apt to follow uneven hemlines. The short practical length is the choice for the first negligee, After that a woman can choose a less useful length, with perhaps a real train to give dig- nity and beauty. Chartreuse is one of the mnew color choices for intimate ap- parel. Pinks hotd a real suprem- acy, malnly because they are 50 much more flattering than most colors. For teatime wear informal dinners at are some very Graceful, extremcly feminine and decoratively colorful is a tea gown of Nile green brocaded vel- vet, with touches of sable. It ad- heres to the tight-hips edict, and combines a full asleeve with a Lloused waist. There is a side train, cut in one with the skirt that attaches to the swathed hips. The figure of the fabric is slightly deeper than the plain velvel, which gives a rich tceling to the plcture. Sable catches in the full sleeves and sable edges the front closing of the gown. Smart, feminine and yet ex- tremely comfortable \is 2 stunning pajama suit of antique gold crepe with a deep border of black crepe, heavily embroidered in five or six rich blue shades with a touch of gleaming white here and there. The embroidery makes this cos- tume. The sleeves allow their width to flare from the clbow, the better to show off this stunaing pattern of embroidery. The neck- line is plain and round. with a little how of the old-gold on one shoulder. For women who insist on fabric and no decoration, a very colorful tea gowa is made of or- chid, flame color and the new egg- plant colored Ninon. The slip is orchid, with orchid buttons of crackled glass, to fasten it. Over this a chiffon coat goes of flame shade, with a border, sash and cuffs of Ninon in eggplant color. This coat has three side pleats, under a flat, decoative bow. or even for home there lovely things. fine NECKTIE HOLDER Screw a smaM towel rack into the closet door or the back of the closct for a necktic hanger, It mukes an excellent one.

(This is the second of six articles on good-grooming and chic costum- ing written exclusively for NE Service and The Herald by Amelita Galli-Curci, world famous opera singer, whose good taste in clothes makes her s pleasing to look at as pleasant to hear.) BY AMELITA GALLI-CURCK How much should a woman spend annually on dress? My answer would be to spend the least with the maximum, effect and effort. But 2 Amelita Gatli-Curci this rule should apply to all: Make a budget within your means and stick to The woman who spends too much time on dress has none thing else. My life gives me less time for shopping than falls to the lot of many. When I do get around to it, the campaign is short but in tensive. Beforchand, 1 have made a tentative list of my needs. Nowadays, dress models for ge eral wear come from Paris and are well copied. Fortunately fashions are marked by simplicity. No more are they elaborate, but chic in line, And the line means today more than anything clse. The longer and flowing line now dictated for eve- ning dress give pictugesqueness, Choose the Rigiat Jewels The short d for street wear is standardized and slenderized for practical use. And it will take many a day to dislodge it. American sport clothes, also, are too beautiful, too comfortable and too becoming to be in danger ot the discard. But night is for romance, flirting and moon- light. Conscquently, those flowing, graceful draperies give a delightful touch of femininity whose return in dress is welcomed by hoh sexes, Individuality in evening dresses or in dresses for any occasion, must, however, follow the fundamentals of fashion, Unless a woman follows the dictate of the times, which is a reflection of the age, she is out of mood with it, the happy mood of 1928, Apropos of evening dresses with kwhich one always associates jewels, 1 have heard women criticised for over-lavish display, while other wo- men, wearing even more jewelry escaped adverse comment. In the former instance sole trouble came from wearing jewels of many colors with bright colored dresses; in the latter instance, while the women in question wore bright colored dress- es, their jewels were all of one color. The modern “semi-precious” stoncs popular in their strongly contrasting combinations, Their ef- fect is really charming, especially with light dresscs, and they ha the advantage of being within the reach of all.

London, Sept. 15 M—The position of daughter to an English politiclan is far from being an easy job, for the burdens of the father are visit- ed upon the children. Leastwise, 80 say young women who occupy these position. In order that her father_ may be ubiquitous, the daughter has to travel quickly to odd parts of the country to represent him and speak for him. 8he dares not make her own social program, lest it be dis- reupted by the exigencies of her father's routine. Miss Megan Lloyd-George, for in- stance, is a veritable chip of the old block. She is completely at the dis- posal of her father's call. Her s0- cial engagements have often been upset att he very last moment by a summons from her father. Ghe has never failed him. .

Even at this simg@e speech she became stage struck on one occasion, for in a eot- tage her nerve failed and the four words falled to come. Since that early age she has made thousands of speeches, at all vari- cties of affairs, She has deputized for her father at ordina%y speech meetings, at all sorts of soclal en- gagements, and in house to house canvassing, and the like. During the summer, Miss Worth- ington-Evans has had her hands full. Scores of organizations get up garden fetes to which they invite the member of parliamer. for thelr constituengy.
