Love’s Awakening 'l\ol:fl” Y ‘ Stendfest Weman ’ By Adele Garrissn Edith, Declining Madge's Lang-De- Iayed Week-End Invitation, Scoves & Peint in 8 Delicato Situation Y had surprised Edith Fairfax and that a bit unpleasantly. I saw that in her eyes as I gave her my cordial invitation to come out to the farmhouse with ys. What had she expected, or wished, I wondered — when she had realised that I, with the Underwoods had overheard her Pprotest against Dicky's giving her the neckiace and earrings she was wearing, and had witnessed her pleased preening of them in the mirror? Had she hoped I would lose control of myself and treat Dicky to an exhibition of vulgar jealousy? I thanked my particular little joss that I had been able to present an absolutely unruffled front to both my husband and his business partner, in one of the most trying situations which had ever confronted me. She had been as poised as I in those first confusing seconds. With the exception of one flashing Mostite glance, her face had not lost its cool, slightly amused smile. But now she hesitated perceptibly before she answered me, and her words were a bit hurrled, her manner too fer- vidly cordial to be quite matural. “Oh! I'm so sorry, Madge,” she said. *I'd love to. I've been count- ing all Bummer on some Wweek-ends. at the farm. But I'll have to glve up the idea. The work is s0 piled up here that Y can’t take a minute.” Madge Is Relicved Her tone was subtly reproachful, and I saw & gleam of resentment in Dicky's eyes, for he knew of course that her little shaft was aim- ed at him. But my reaction was not anger. I wondered if 1 could dts- guise the stark relief I felt at her decision as I made the mendacious protest which the conventions re- quired. “You don’t mean you can't come at all!” T exclaimed, and caught & look of mirthful approval in Lil- lian's eyes which almost upset me. “Why we've been counting on your coming to us all Summer.” “I know.,” she said, her tone hold- ing apparently genuine regret, “ana Oh, you who would the truth divine Give heed to every little sign. —Old Mother Nature Farmer Brown's Boy had noticea | that there did not seem to be as many rats and mice as there had heen in the big barn. “Black Pussy,” said Farmer Brown's Boy “must have been busy out here of late. She doesn't seem to spend half the time hupting here that she did. Anyway, it, is a gpod thing to get rid of those rats and mice.” Just ‘then Black Pussy came alopg and Farmer Brown's Boy stooped to pat her and talk to her. “You are a sood cat” sald he. “You certainly ~bave cleaned out the mice here.” Black Pussy arched her back and .rubbed against Farmer Brown's Doy's legs and purred, just as It ‘she understood what he had been saying. If she had understood it, she probably would have had a laugn all to herself. For the truth was, Black Pussy was not catching any mice or rats in Farmer Brown's barn. It was only now and then thar she ever caught sight of one. Farmer Brown's Boy picked up the broom and began to sweep up the barn floor. Presently he pausea | .and bent over to examine something on the floor. Then he picked it up and broke-sit eopen. It was a little pellet of fur and bones. The fur was mouse fur and the hones were mouse bones. There was a funny look on the face of Farmer Brown's Doy as he realized what he held v his hand. He looked up to the roof | of the barn. Then he began to look on the floor again, He discoverea some more pellets—quite a number of them. Fe whistled softly. “Now. ‘wigt do you know about this!” he exclaimed. “There is an owl in this ‘barn, or at least there has been. I've seen these things too often not 10 know what they are. When au owl catches a mouse he cannot d1- gest the bones and the fur. So, when everything else is digested, the fur and the bones are rolled up into little balls and he drops them out | seen them | of his mouth. I have many times under the tree where Spooky the ‘Owl lives. Black Pusa. 1 guess T've been giving you credit that you didn’t deserve. T thought it | queer that the rats and the miee disappeared so suddenly. 1 shall 2 to look into this. T wonder if ny chance it can be that Spooky has moved over here to the barn.™ So Farmer Brown's Boy, after he hud finished his chores, trampea over through the Old Orchard to the tres where he knew Snooky the Sereech Owl had been living. He 1ooked all around on the cnow, but not a single little pellet did he find. Then he put his hand in the hollow in the trec where 8pooky made his home. Of course, there was me Spooky there. Snow had hlown inte that little hollow and it had not heen disturbed. That nt that no one had been living there since the storm., “It must be” Brown's Boy, as he tramped bacm to the barn, “it must be that Spooky is there right now. I wonder how“Re got in." Then he happencd to glance up and noticed the holes high up in the peak that had been made for pigeons one time. Instant- Iy he ssed that way Spooky had ente “The little said Farmes was the said he. “He certainly K n he is well off. He nus come in here look- ing for mice and then decided that I'm just as disappoiated as you are over it.” I caught the irony of her last sentemce in the slight significant pause she made after it. “But,” she went on, “it's simply impossible for me to think of leav. ing the city until much later. Bus you'll be in town, scon, Dicky tetre me. We'll have lots of chances to see each other. If my boss and yours keep us too busy, we'll either bring 'em along with us, er legve ‘em flat.” LAllian Takes Hold The veiled smiling insolence of her made my throat constrict, ane accelerated my pulses. For the sec- ond I was incapable of answering her. But Lillian, I knew, was watch- ing me elosely and immediately heard her indolent throaty draw!. “Nobody loves social amenities more than L,” she said with & grin, “but may I remind this’ worshipfut company that it's getting late, and we have a long drive in front of uas. Also Madge and I have been driving for hours and we are much weary. So I know you won't mind, Ede, if we take for granted how mutually desolated you and Madge are over this week-end business, and beat 1t while the beating’s good. How about [it, Dicky-bird? Are you ready?” “I will be in a minute,” Dicky re- turned, “I just have to run up to the studio a second. My bags are all ready, you see.” He waived a careless hand toward suitcase, bag, topcoat, hat and gloves in patent readiness for a journey. Mr. Underwood crossed the Toom and picked up the suitcase. “I'll collect the tip at the car door,” he said, “Come on girls, I'll get the car started and you seated comfortably by the time the Dicky- bird gets down. 8o long Ede. I'll date you up for the Winter when I see you again.” He ushered us out of the room, and I knew that with masculine fraternity he was obeying some sig- nal from Dicky to give him an op- portunity for a word alone Wwith Edith, (Continued Tomorrow) Copyright, 1529, Newspaper Feature Service, Inc. But not a single little pellct did he soe he couldn’t do better than to stay. I wonder where he is. Farmer Brown's Boy climbed up in the haymow. He looked along ali the rafters and beams. Finally, away over toward then end of a long rafter he saw a little brown bunch. It was Spooky. Farmer Brown's Boy grinned. “I'm glad I know you're here,” said he. “It means hara times for the rats and the mice, so I hope you'll stay.” To all of which Spooky the Ow! said nothing at all, for 8y ky was fast asleep.

Burgess The next story: “The Nibblers Have a 8hock.” Talks to Parents TEMPER TANTRUMS By Alice Peale In dealing with the youngster who has temper tantrums two things must be kept in mind, the first is that the child should never get what he wants by indulging in a tantrum, jthe second that it is important to find the underlying causes of such behavior. ‘When a child has a tantrum the best treatment is to put him in a room by himself and shut the door. This should be done in a cool, un- emotional manner and no notice of his existence should be taken until he has regained his self control. He should understand that he ean come out of his room as soon as he is quiet. Then the whole situation can either be threshed out or ignored. whichever seems best. | When it is obvious that the cause of the tantrum is simply the frus- tration of an unreasonable wish, 'meeting the difficulty in the manner suggested above will quickly dis- courage further indulgences. But when back of the immediate cause there is a reason of deeper emotional significance, every effort should be made to gain a better un- derstanding so that the child will not |be driven to such unhappy demon- ! strations. | 8ome of the underlying causes “fnr temper tantrums are overstimu- lation, fatigue, too much correction, insufficient opportunity for free. and {noisy play, jealousy, lack of parent- jal love and a sense of sccurity. A 'child who is suffering from one or more of these is likely to explode at ithe end of an especlally trying day. Although even such a temper tan- [trum should never achieve its im- mediate ends, the parent should feel Ithat the full responsibility for such (behavior is his rather than the | child’s, ) . ,—M AR e T Officer—“Cut out that smokin’.” Fan—*“Say, next you'll be telling those guys in the ring to only pat each other.” | V4| , W T 7 N7 duNN7, /i A majority of the questions in| this puzsle appear rather difficult.!

Two efficient nurses of the British royal family are Princess Alics, Countess of Athlone (left), and Princoss Arthur of Connaught (right). London, Jan. 24 (P—Queen Mary's personal supervision over the nursing of the king during his illness is a reminder that nmearly every woman in the British royal family has been well trained in nursing. Among ‘the most outstanding are Princess Mary, Princess Arthur or Connaught, the Queen of Norway and Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone. This training is attributed large- Iy to the late Princess Mary of Cambridge, mother of Queen Mary, ‘who personally superintended the Woman In Congress Places Home Far Ahead Of Political Career Rep. Pearl Oldficld of Arkansa congress left vacant by the death o By Suc McNamara ‘Washington, Jan. 24. (®—Having successfully run a happy home for 26 years and still considering that the height of woman's achieve- ment, Rep. Pearl Oldfield of Ar- kansas now is resolutely turning her trol aind other problems confront- ing the Seventicth Congress. Mrs. Oldfield was elected to fill out the term of her husband, who died last November. With happy memories of her own life behind her Mrs, Oldficld is de- termined to do what she can to make the homes of the nation hap- pier. The farm relief and flood control mensures, in both of whicn she is much interested, take shape in her mind in terms of homes and how they will be affected by ad- verse legislation. “A woman's first duty and great- est service to her country is to make a home” says Mrs. Oldfield. “If it is a question of choosing be- tween a political career and that or a wife and mother, a woman’s duty and also her greatest joy should be to choose the latter. But when the two do not conflict I think women can be as valuable as men in the service of their government or oth- | er business or prdfessional fields.” | The imposing dome of the capitor gleamed white in the morning light. field had been at her desk rince |9:30. Mrs. Oldfield took the mea- | sage. She sighed a bit wistfully. “The first day I sat at my desk in congress I kept thinking, ‘It was cnly through 1loss of my hustand that I got here’” she sald, “We had no children. There was just— Billy. But we had such wonderfut comradeship and understandirsg. We called each other ‘pard’ We had 26 years of perfect companion- ship.” Mrs. Oldficld says she expccts to advance no strange or essentially feminine governrental {deas m congress. 8he believes that a gov- ernment that {s properly adminis- tered in behalf of our sons, fathers and brothers is equally safe ane sound for our women.

Many of those passing through her hands never realize that they are being attended by a niece of the king. Princess Alice, Counteas of Ath- lone, is proficient in nursing cnd often has remarked that she would have liked to have devoted hersel? exclusively to this work. The late Queen Alexandra, widow of Edward VI, was the head of the British military nursing service and she was highly trained, having at one time devoted considerable study to surgical nursing. ‘The Queen of Norway is another excellent sick-room nurse, as is an. other British-born queen, the Queen of Spain. Many of the members of her family are by no means phy- sically robust and she frequently has been called upon to supervise their nursing, both surgical and medigl. . Queen Mary remarked some years ago to an intimate friend that she did not consider that any girt should be allowed to marry unless she were fully qualified to take charge of a sick-room whenever the necessity arose, SCOTCH DRAW CURTAIN OYER DIMPLED KNEES Glasgow Lassics Must Leagthen Bkirts to 13 Inches from Ground, Says Official Edict Glasgow, Jan. 24.
