Burgess The careless always will, 'tis clear, In danger be of sudden fear. —Whitefoot the Wood Mouse. Whitefoot the Wood Mouse and Mrs. Whitefoot and Trader the Wood Rat had become thoroughly tled in their homes in the little svgar-house in the Green Forest. At first Mr. and Mrs. Whitefoot had rather resented the coming of Trader the Wood Rat, but Trader is a pleasant fellow and a good neighbor, and they had grown to like him. Bo the three were getting along very nicely. There was a won- derful feeling of security inside that little sugar-house. Once inside they felt absolutely safe, Had not Yowler the Bobcat and Cubby Bear tried to get in and failed? But, of course, they couldn’t stay inside the little sugar-house all the time. More and more they ‘went outside, always ready to rgn back at the least hint of danger. During the daytime they rarely ‘went out at all. You know they are little night-folk. They love the hours of darkness. But even more they love the hours between daylight and darkness—the hours of dusk. And they love moonlight nights. When there was moonlight they would be out nearly all night. It happened one moonlight night that Whitefoot had strayed a litle farther than usual. For several nights they had not had a single scare and so Whitefoot had grown a little careless. You see, White- foot is very like other little folk in that he needs to be constantly re- minded of things. He needed to be reminded that there was danger lurking all through the Green For- est. So Whitefoot was running abont carelessly. Instead of keeping in the Black Shadows he often ran right out in the moonlit spaces, and this was a very careless thing to do. Mrs. Whitefoot had warned him sevcral times that he shouldn't do it. “Hooty the Owl will get you if you don’t watch out.” insisted Mrs. Whitefoot. “You know how he | snoops around without making & sound.” “Pooh!” declared Whitefoot, “He hasn’t been around here since we'y Iived over here. Don't you worry about me. I can take care of my- self. T know what I'm about.” It wasn't five minutes late Whitefoot ran out into a little pateh of moonlight and bezan runnin about. hunting for something to «at. He was so intent on what he was doing that he thought of noth ing else.

Every detail should receive meti- culous care: the hair, the skin, the nails and make-up. Twice a day, at least, the skin should be thoroughly cleansed.

To really look it, a woman must be well-groomed alway To make good grooming & regular habit requires far less time than to make it the exception. And this brings us to the important point of taking care of clothes. This last is particularly related to the care of evening dresses.

BY JULJIA BLANSHARD New York, 8ept. 17.—"When cri- ticizing India for her child mar- riages, we should remember that our great-grandmothers often wed at 16, and that Juliet was only 14 when she eloped with Romeo.” Gertrude Emerson, associate editor of “Asia,” just returned from a year in remote parts of India, suggested thia “While late marriages have been recognized as good for health, Europe has survived on early marriages,” she pointed out. “We should also realize that in In- dia girls mature much more quick- ly than here.

In India one finds no coum ter part to this curious ‘civilised standard. \ We Might shock Them \ “In India they would say, ‘Th young girl has done nothing yet| to make her important. She has not faced responsibility, does ,not know what it means to have a family, or sorrow, or great joy.' Therefore the young girl is of no significance; she is wiped out in the family which is all4mportant, She doesn’t speak, covers her face, and practices complete abnegation until she has a child. Indians are capable of being as shocked at our treatment of women as Americans are at theirs.” Miss Emerson is writing the saga of life today of India outside of big cities, “not a de. fense of India, only the real story of the lives of various Indians I knew well.” erson off for her dally (insert) close-up of Miss LEmerson (lower) A typical momning scene, “patients” lined up waiting for treat- ment fn front of her cute bungalow with its veranda border of potted mountain plants, dia before, but never in the prov- inces. £he trekied clear to Pach- perwa, close to the border of Ne- pal and pitched her tent to prepare for a year's cojourn, the only white woman among thousancs of natives, " “The first worning beggars of all descriptions lined up for a few grains of rice,” she said. *The second morning the &ick, the halt, the biind and the lame arrived for treatment.

Everyone who could joined her crusade to the moun- tains to get flowers to fill the doz- ens of painted cans that formed a border to her veranda. “The native women became tre- mendously intorested in the color- ful things I did about the house,” Miss Emerson said. “On the gleam- ing white outside wall of way kitch- en, for instance, T sketched a huge elephant and then colored him. They all helped me make dye from herbs and before T knew it there were colorful elephants all over everything.

There was her old bearded barber, who made her sit cross-legged while he gave her a cut; her cook who said he knew English cooking and then opened up all her choice cheeses, mints, condiments and candied fruits to serve with after-dinner coffee for r first breakfast; her little 11- year-old houscboy who had been ‘married since he was cight. omen Have Great Dignity “I found the Indian woman as mother and wife in her own house- hold has a distinct dignity and a devotion to her family that was admirable in comparison with some American women's shallow integest.
