Love’s Awakening The llurt Story suul!ut Wo-u By Adele Garrison Dicky Tells a Neat Story Concerning the Jewelry He Brings Home for all the Household Dicky's command to “look at the loot” in the jeweler's boxes whica Junior had distributed to the wo- men of our household was eagerly | obeyed by Mother Graham, Kather- ine and Mary. Lillian and I opened ours morz slowly for she, T was sure, shared my intuition concerning the contents of the boxes. Mother Graham had untied the cord around her box before Dicky's mandate, so her gift was the first uncovered. Two beautiful filigree hrooches, one set with an amethyst, the other with a topaz, so delighted her ornament-loving soul that she gave but scant aftention for a min- ute or two to the contents of the | other boxes. “How beautiful, Richard!" she | quavered. “But they must be very | expensive. “Not too costly for you, Mother dear, it they were real, instead of neing cxceedingly clever imitations,” Dicky returned with the tender courtesy which generally marks his attitude toward his mother. | Mary's squeal of delight inter- | rupted hini. “Oh! oh! Uncle Dicky, you dar- | ling!"” she exclaimed, rushing at him and hugging him rapturously. 1In her hands were A choker necklace and ‘carrings of cleverly simulated pink pearls and tiny diamonds. | “What is Marion’s?” she asked | with childish inquisitiveness, veer ing from Dicky to Lillian who held up a set like Mary's, but of aqua- | marines. “Oh! how they'll color of her cye bring out the comment- | {'s see the| any curlosity, . Haven't you | “master | the explanation. cjaculations which filled tBe room. But it took all my strength of will to keep from hurling the beautiful haubles straight into Dicky's face, for I was sure that he had arranged this wholesale distribution of gifts in the excited minutes following my with Edith, for the sole { encounter any jealous ,purpose of quicting qualms on my part. Grateful indecd was I for . drawling, impudent comment which Harry Underwood contribu- ted when Lillian held her gift out to him for inspection. “There are only two explanations of this,” he said. “Either this room is a wholesale junk shop, or a fence | for the ‘international jewelry rob- bers' o beloved hy our tabloids. Come clear, old carrot! Are you the mind,’ the ‘Rafiles’ and all the rest of it, or what " “What,” Dicky retorted promptly with a laugh. “But I resent your term of “wholesale junk,’ although it's all anybody could expect from low-brow like you, with no appre- ciation of art in your soul.” “Explains” foritha Eroena his friend returned, “and get on with (CCan’t you see your lady friends holding their respeetive Dhreaths " Dicky's gaze swept us with ap- parent carelessness, but as his eyes met mine squarely for the first timo since our inopportune meeting in his office, T saw not only ansiety for my belief of his explanation, but also the sort of impish triumph with which a small hoy invests his bighly colored and deceiving ac- count of some exploit. “It's very simple,” he said: *The man who is designing these things 1as a most romantic and genuine the ze reen for Jealousy lenged, there was noth- ing for me to my | | and | T had| except | the | fore me lay a long earrings, exactly seen decking Edith that the stones of min exquisite grean of jade. A swift | glance at the others told me that Katherine's gift was an exact replica of Edith’s, with its blue stones like | sapphires, while Lillian's held the deep, glowing red of rubies. | From somewhere T plucked out| the courage to murmur, “How per- fectly exquisite, Dicky!” adding to the general chorus of feminine were The Terrible Shadow By Thornton W. Burgess Pity those who dwell in fear; ‘Where danger always hovers near, —Nibbler the Mouse. These were dark days, as well as dark nights, in Fasmer Brown's big barn. At Jeast, that is the way Nib- Ller the House Mouse and Mrs. Nib- Ller and all the other Nibblers felt aboug it. That is the way the Rat family felt about it. You sce, there had been many mysterious disap- pearances. Not a day went by that one or more members of the Nib. bler family and the family of Rob- ter the Rat did not disappear. Once they had disappeared, they never came back. At first, Black Pussy had been blamed. But then it was| noticed thut these disappearances kept right on when Black Pussy seldom came to the barn. | ‘Then there began to be a story go around all through the barn. 1t/ was whispered in every Nibbler | home, It was talked about in every Rat home. There wasn't a Rat or a Mouse who had not heard of the terrible shadow in the barn. A num- | ber of frightened Mice had seen it. | It made no sound. It scemed to just float. But down from it would reace | great claws and scize an unlucky | Mouse or young Rat.

Thele Art Is Paying The collection bospy W renais- sunce of Belshevik peasant art. or the native handicrafts of the peuas- ant, such as muking carvings, linens and lacquered boxes that used o occupy their long winter evenings have now heen developed into a pay: ing industry that puts bread into their mouths and ohjects of bheauty into homes in all parts of the world. Some of the most interesting of the new picces are “Palekh” lac- quered and illuminated boxes. Back in Czarish days, the village of Pale- kha was famous for four centuries for its illuminated ikons. When the church lost power with the fall of the Czar, and ikons no longer had thelr tremendous sale, the villagers cast about for other objects to dec- orate with their peculiar art. These delicate, geous little boxes reult. They have fine patterns in lovely bright colors, all kinds of typical old :nd new Russian scenes, The Russian can see seen s fact, a stunning, com- to- linens shown indi- ernism that they have lacked be- fore. Smocl for instance, have some new ornamental bandings that follow that 1929 skyscraper lines in- stead of the conventional old-Rus- fan ones. There are too, well-cut and _cmbroidered dress patterns, American demands. Gaudy red lacquered candlesticks, ash r desk sets and big trays | give one a hint of how certain spots n o's room might bhe livened by the addition of some of these.
