How early do we have to start?” T knew that the matter of Edith Fairfax's week-end invtiation was not settled—only postponed for the present—but I was glad to accept the truce. Dicky's query had been put, to his friend, but Mr. Underwood waved & languid hand in my direction. “There is the capable chatelaine, | who, according to Lillian, has charge of all arrangement: “Thea we'll get under way a | minutes after midnight,” Dicky growled. “It's not that bad,” T said, “but we will have to start at daybreak. ‘We've the whole length of the island to travel, New York traffic and probably that of Newark to| g0 through, to say nothing of all the smaller towns, and Marlon wants to get to the school as early in the afternoon as possible.” “How far is the school from Jer- sey City?” Mr. Underwood asked. “gixty miles,” I returned. “But you needn’t get that speculative look in your eye. We've got to al- low for possible breakdowns or ac- cldents, and we've planned to start as soon as it's light enough to see the road.” Gentle Irony “You remember the old woman who told the Fifth avenue traffic cop that she always allowed herselt time to fall down twice when she crossed a strest and wanted to know if the red signal would stay that long?"

Katie had been up long before preparing Marion's favorite breakfast dishes, and her tearful farewell to the child she loved next to Jumior was still audible at ‘the sate. “I do hope Marion won't be upset by that” Lillian said anxiously. “It's hard enough for her to leave home, anyway. Can you see her, Madge?” She twisted herself around to see Dicky's car behind us, n Which it had been agreed that] Marion should ride until we reach- ed the town where the men were to leave us. “Why, Madge, she's actu- ally laughing!” Marion Changes Her voice hell stark wonderment, daughter'a lightheartedness was sorely puz- zling her. When Marien had gone away to school for the first time, only the year before, our hearts had ached for the child—she wi 8o plainly distressed at leaving her mother. She had been quiet at breakfast time, but I, watching her closely, had decided that reluctance to appear jubilant before her moth- er instead of the disinclination to leave home was responsible for her silence. And as my eyes followed Lillian’s gaze 1 saw that the young girl, unconscious of her mothe scrutiny, was giving herself up te gleeful anticipation of the coming year. How would Lillian react to this new attitude of her daughter? T knew that she was too astute not to guess the source of Marion's high spirit—the anticipation of see- ing Ronald Brixton again, for the bhoy was to be one of the party es- corting his sister Carolyn to the Whitney School at Sackettsville, whither we were bound. Would she be able to smother the maternal jealousy which had caused her so much unhappiness in the last few days? (Continued Tomorrow) light we’d better roll in and get some sleep.

Burgess E'en the wise will often make An inexcusable mistake. —O0ld Mother Nature.; Hooty the Owl had not forgotten how and where Peter Rabbit had slipped out from under his very claws. He knew Peter so well that he knew that if Peter found plenty to eat in Farmer Brown's barn, not even possible danger would be able to keep him away from there. 8o Hooty planned to keep watch of that little door—that little swing- ing door—by means of which Peter had gscaped itno the barn. So the next night Hooty perched where he could watch Farmer Brown's door- yard from the time Farmer Brown's Boy finished' his evening chores and went into the house. It was moon- light and Hooty could see for a considerable distance. “As poon as all is quiet in the house,” thought Hooty, “I'll move over where I can drop on Peter Rabbit it he comes out of that barn. T want to be near enough to give him no chance.” Hooty saw Reddy Fox come steal- ing around the corner of Farmer Brow)'s barn. He saw him move along with his nose to the snow. He saw him stop beside that little deor and finally move on down along the Old Btone wall beside the Old Or- chard, disappearing finally in the Green Forest. “Good riddance!” muttered Hooty to himself. “I am glad he is out of the way. T have a feeling T am going to catch some- thing tonight. I don't want to have to fight for it after T get it.” At last all was quiet in Farmer Brown's house, Hooty flew over on silent wings, to perch on a fence post of the henyard, which was| very mear that part of the barn where was the little swinking door, through which Peter had disappear- | ed the night before. In the moon- light, Hooty lovked very like a part of the post. It looked simply as if | that particular post was taller than | the others. Patience is one thing: that Hooty the Owl has plenty of Much of his hunting is done by sit- ting still, instead of flying about. | Mooty sat perfectly still for a long, Jong time.

He saw that little door push out just a little. Instantly he spread those great noiscless wings of his and sailed over until he was right above fhat little door.

Hooty the Owl was trying his best to let go. He was beating Black Pussy with his great wings and striking with his hooked bill, and Black Pussy was digging in with the claws of her hindfeet and tearing the feathers out of Hooty in clouds. Black Pussy was both hurt and angry. That fight lasted only a few min- utes. Hooty got a chance to take to the air and went flapping away in a heavy manner, as if he had hard- Iy strength enough to move those big wings. Black Pussy scampered straight across to the house, enter- ing through another little door over there in the backshed. There Farm- er Brown's Boy found her and bathed her wounds. She wasn't seri- ously hurt. As for Hooty, he no longer had an appetite for the rest of that night. He had lost it when he made that mistake. Copyright, 1929, by T. W.

Their parents reach the conclus- fon that certain foods can-not be re- tained for physiological reasons. They give up the effort to make the child eat a balanced diet. This should never be permitted, both because the child's body needs the proper variety of foods and be- cause the child should never get what he wants by such infantile tricks. Such ways of meeting an unpleasant situation will be harmful to the child’s later adjustment. We all know people who become con- | yeniently ill when faced by unpleas- ant: facts and who thus escape most of their uncongenial obligations, &l- lowing the rest of us to assume their burdens. Betty at the age of three had per- fected a technique by means of which she never had to eat vege- tables, Her meals had been long sleges in which she was urged, ca- joled and finally coerced into eating ing coats with monograms eu red around the hips. the céat, or a lining to match, sents ward 4. Interesting coat linings arc a mark of style today.

The child who is nagged, scoldgd, who is not sufficiently loved, who is jealous, may take this means of getting even with his parents er of getting the attention he craves, In such a situation the underlying causes must be remedied before the application of such methods as the above can hopeto bring results. ) .
