Love’s Awakening The um Story Suul'ut Wc-n By Adele Garrison Mary's “Mysterions Stranger” Ui doubtedly Wes Katie Garbed In “Mourning Clothes.” I kmew that Katherine and Lil- lian were listening as attentively as I to Mary's description of the “old freak” who had so amused Prince Georges at Southampton 1 was also sure that they, too, had noted the similarity between the heavy crepe veil described by Mary and the one I had seen tumbling out of Katie's suitcase and which my little maid had so huryiedly pusned back together with the other flamboyant mourning garments which the had spilled. However, we carefully kept our eyes averted from each other and fixed on the voung people | the remem- | who were laughing at brance of the ludicrous figure they had seen. mirth was whole-Learted, 1 fancied that Mary's was a bit forced. “I never saw anything more amusing,” Prince Georges said. “She would have put life into any mori- bund cinema, if she could have ap- peared just as we saw her. ' She| either inherited her clothes from | some remote ancestor or got them from a costumer. Her hat was big- ger than the wheel of my car, while her coat and gown almost dragged on the ground. And the way she walked—well, just imagine a woman | trying to imitate Chaplin’s shuffle and not succeeding very well.” “It must have been a most amus- ing spctacle,” T said, wondering if Katie were within eavesdropping distance. “It was" Mary said decidedly “Auntie Matge, may Georgas stay to dinner?

That she was annoyed at his inadvertent. reference to her visit to the Southampton post | office, 1 was sure. When she went to her room to arrange her wind- blown hair, Lillian, Katherine and I looked at each other. “The plot thickens,” Lilllan com- mented softly with a twisted grin. “I suppose there isn't any doubt that Katfe was the post office mourner,” 1 said, keeping my own voice to a murmur. “Couldn't be two such outfits in the same county on the same day,"” Katherine asserted confidently. “No, | Katie was on the job, all right.

Bu' why? “I fancy Katie has some dope it we only conld get hold of it,” Lillian said, “but of course, you can't ask her outright. It isn't done, and be- sides, you never could live with her afterward, She'd imagine herself to be Sherlock Holmes and the rest of | them rolled into one super-sleuth. | But if she ventures any confidences, to vou, Madge, for the love of your husband's great-aunt's sister-in-law, | unpin your ears and keep them wide open.” “If 1 only have the opportunity.” id despondently. “But I'm afraid mortally offended.” | “If the glare she sent toward you a few minutes ago was any criterion, she 1sn't 1 exactly a happy mood,” Watherine commented. “But luckily Katie doesn't hold a grudge very long. She'll be in a talkative mood hefore many days have passed.” (Continued Tomorrow) Copyright 1928, paper Feature L Chatterer Isn't Worried By Thomton W. Burgess. Worry is with trouble frauzht, And very seldom gets you aught —Chatterer the Red Squirrel ; | i Unlike his cousin, Happy Jack the { Gray 8quirrel, Chatterer the Red Bquirrel was not worried by the fail- ure of the beechnut crop and of the acorn crop. He was disappointed, for he likes beechnuts, but he was not, worried. Chatterer's storehouse would not he empty, even though he could not find a simgle beechnut or a single acorn. When he was sure that it would require more work than they were worth to get some of the few beechnuts every ene was looking for, Chatterer slip- ped away by himself. He went straight over to a certain pine tree. “Beechnuts are all right,” said Chatterer, ‘but if 1 can have plenty of pine seeds and spurce s one else can have the nu good thing that T like these seeds and know how to get them. T must be about ready now to be cut Chatterer ran up the tree and out on one of the upper branches where a number of cones hung. 'Thos cones were still tightly closed. They were mot yet ripe enough fo open This suited Chatterer. He cut off every one of the cones on that par- ticular branch, and he chuckled as he watched them fall to the ground Then he went to another hranch and di4 the same thing. Not a single one of those cones opened, so not & zeed was to be seen. Yank Yank the nuthatch watched Chatterer from a neighboring tree. Finally his curiosity got the better of him “Excuse me. Chatierer,” 1id he, “but why don’t you wait until th, cones are ripe and open. =o that th seads will drop out?” Chatterer stopped worl enough to look over at Yank and, in his turn, asked a q “Did you ever watch the out of an open cone”" he inquired. Yank Yank nodded. “Of have,” said he. “Did they drop Chatterer asked Yank Yank thought for Then he shook his hend he, “I don't believe they went spinning around floating came down especially 1f Ya cours traight dowr 1 monment No,” said did.

Some behaved quite well, greeting their children with quiet affection, playing with them, seeing things and doing through throughout the hours of the visit, cheerfully saying goodbye at last without emphasis on the pain of separation. Others made of their visit an orgy of emotion. They greeted their children with tears in their eyes. Hadn't mother's baby missed his own mummy at ali? Didn't he want to come back home with his dear daddy snd mummy? When, as generally happened, the child answered “No," he was work- ed on until, by suggestien, he w: reduced to wails of homesickness. At parting the farewells were long drawn and tearful. Father and mother could not bear to believe that their child actually could be happy away from them. Parents who demand of their chil- dren perpetual evidence of depend- ent affection aregnot true parents at all. The parental love accords to the child the emotional freedom to live directly through his own inter- ests, to know and enjoy for himself the beckoning werld.

BRAINS BEAT BEAUTY OldoFashioned Girls Get Best Jobs Because Employers Are Shy of Flappers, College Expert Declares, Here are Ned Marr, director of the alumni buresu of occupation at the University of California, and two girl applicants for a job. You cen see for yourself which one is getting it. Betty l-um is the flapper and Bernice Lamb is the old-fashioned girl. Los Angeles, Cal, Oct 30.—Fare- well ye flapper! Come hither girls. Such has become the slogan of Los Angeles, known the woerld over as the capital of flapperdom— {largely because it also is the center of the film industry. “Contrary to the prevailing be- lietf that flappers have become the generally accepted thing, we have found that there is more sentiment against them than ever before,” de- clares Ned Marr, director of the alumni bureau of occupations at the University of California, Los An- geles. “Our records show that the sweet young thing who spends much of her time with paint, powder and rouge and is over conscious of her appearance is not in demand,” con- tinued Marr. “She stands a poor show alongside of her plainer sister whose education, practical appliea- tion and skill in training make her valuable in business. Pon't Want Flapers large number of the persons who call us for girls to do part time work specify that they do not want any flappers. Many of the positions we secure for co-eds are in private homes, doing housework, taking care of children or as com- panions for older people. In nearly every instance those asking for girls to do this kind of work specify that they must be sensible, dependable, home-loving girls who do not go out much and do not spend three- fourths of their time before a mirror. “Even men whe want girls fin oftices shun the flapper type. They do not consider them the equal of plainer girls from the standpoint of ability or poise. Particularly if a girl is to be in a reception room she must have a personality and poise that most employers don't seem to find in a flapper. rom my own experience in this bureay, 1 think that the pretty stenographer idea is vastly over- worked. 1 find that most men much prefer the plainer girl who is efficient and doesn’t spend a great part of Her time thinking of dates.” “All Flappers Aren't Pretty” Marr, as head of the alumni em- ployment bureau at the university, supervises th® filling of about 2,500 jobs every year. Most of them are odd jobs lasting only a day or two. Bue between 400 and 500 of them are permanent part time positions. The majerity of calls for girls are tor housework. companions for chil. dren or old felk, office work, wait. ing on tables in tea rooms and piane accompanists. “I don’t mean that there is no demand for pretty girl he ex- plains. “There ix a vast difference between a pretty girl and a flapper. In fact, a flapper very often isnt pretty. My idea of a flapper in a girl who is flighty, has very little poise, is forward and to some ex- tent rattle-bratned. “About the only calls we got for the flapper type girl is from adver- tising agencies who want to wuse | them for newspaper pictures. They | nearly always ask for the flappers because they figure they will attract | attention quicker than the more conservative girl even though the latter may be far more beautiful.” Health Hints BY. DR. MORRIS F BEIN Editar Journa] of the American Medical Association and of Hy- gela, the Health Magazine Becgusc of the increasing im- | portance of mental health to the ! proper tunctioning of industry. the Tllinois Soceity for Mental Hygiene { recently held a conference on this | subject. One of the great problems of modern life is to fit the worker to an occepation which will yield him ‘ sufficient mental satisfaction so that ho may have a relative amount of ihtvplnfis- | | ye old-fashioned Dr. Ralph Hammil emphasized two special types in this connection: 1—The ysung man who is babied at {home, fails at college and resigns frem any position he gets because he feels that he is not appreciated: 2—The girl who is emploved in an office in which her associations are with a higher type of man than oc- eurs in her family or social ac- quaintances. The girl soon becomes dissatistied with her own pocial lite. The zécial workers in such cases endeavor to make adjustments which will relieve thess unbalanced situstions. Swdying the Employe One of the largest mental hy- glene units in industry is establah- ed in a great department store in New York city. In this store a staft studies regularly the mental life of the employe in relation to his occu- pation, endeavoring to fit him prop- erly to his work, recommending pro- motions on the basis of his mental attitude, and taking workers out of positions which are likely to result in nervous breakdown. In one case a checking. girl be- came slow and dull in her work in the afternoon. It was found that she had quicker reactions than were required in her job, so that she be- came tired and bored. Instead of being- given easier work, she was placed in a position demanding quicker reactions and more respon- sibility, and she succeeded promptly. The arbitrator for one of the largest clothing manufacturers in the country pointed out that indus- try which 1s now run on the plece work scale has been tremendously accelerated. The employe’s pace is set by the machine which he oper- ates or by the (fastest empleye in the shop. 180 Processes This intense specialization has frustrated initiative and creative jm- pulse. In the clothing industry, for example, 150 processes are used in making a suit of clotl so that the individual employe can have ljt- tle pride in the finished job. A study of the mental aspects of industry must made te determine means for permitting mental devel- opment as well as for prwldlnl a ‘means of livelihood. Chart “Game” to Test Eyes Cases of Faulty Vision Are Often Detected. New York, Oct. 30 ohnny, which way is that smallest animal pointing his paws?' It sounds like & game. Really it is a registered nurse testing the vision of a tot of pre-school age. For the Natiopal Society for the Prevention of Blindness i3 start- ing a nation-wide campaign eof education to safeguard the eyes of children who will enter kinde: garten and primary grades a year or so hence. The three-legged animals are really the letter “E.” Through use of the Symbol E Chart, games have been worked out fer tiny children which actually test their vision. Children as young as three vears can play them. Alternate Sizes Big. medium sized and small, the “E's” used seem like thres- legged animals to the imagingtive little child. The nurse poses them this way and that, alternsting the position of the various sizes. Johnny likes to tell {if Ilittle “E" has all his paws on the fleor. or it great, big “E" is lying on his back with his three paws in the air. 1f Johnny can't’ see the tini- est * then nurse knows hig vision is deficient. The technique of the “game” 8 te have Johnny peep with enly one eye at a time, while & card covers the other. He looks at the chart 20 feet away and shows with his arms as well as tells whether the little animals’ legs are to the right, the left, upward or down- ward. May Prevent Blindness “Determining the condition of a child's eves at an early age may prevent blindness,” according to Mildred F. Smith, staft nurse with the National Society for the Pre- vention of Blindness. Miss Smith has just started a tour of the mid- Ale west to Aemonstrate the effi- cacy of the Symbel E Chart games. “If faulty vision is found, im- mediate steps can be taken to cor- rect if. Even when correction of a defect is accomplished readily. it discovery is important. For lack of appreciation ot the child's handicap often develops a mental problem as severe as eve treuble. We hope that the little three-leg- ged animal games will help the vision of pre-school America tually.” an
