Junier scrambled dewn frem his father’s lap as I came inte the reom and Dicky rese to grest me, With the ceurteous little gestwre which, unlike many men, he does not re- sorve for oocasions whea other peo- flnmmuwlu-lhwne— tilliogwness. In his eyes was a look of admiration as beady as a draught of wine. “Oh~—Mother!"” my small son ex- claimed, rushing at me, impetueusly. “You're all dressed up, and you kfi_k so pretty with these green things in your ears and areund yeur mneck. Some mother I've got! I'll tell the cock-eyed world.” Me put his thumbs in his arm- hole- “nd strutted, so fajthful an jmitation of one of Dicky's burles- quing mannerisms that casting dis- cipline to the winds I echoed his her's hearty laugh. 'll subscribe to that verdict, son,” my husband said, and I feit myself thrilling to a note in his veice once familiar, but infrequently heard in theso later troubled years. “Those surc arc the stones for you, Madge.” my husband went on hurriedly, and T saw that there was distinct relief as well as tenderness in his eyes. He had not been de- ceived by my forced and perfunc- tory admiration of the ornaments he had given to me, as well as te all the ether feminine members of the family in order to camouflage the similar gift I had seen his urging upon Edith Fairfax. But this equally forced gesture of mine in wearing the imitation jades with gown and coiffure suiting them, ap- parently satisfied my husband that T had accepted his explanation of the gifta, “I'm glad now T didn’t wait for hirthdays, as T first intended,” he said lamely, with the propensity for elaborate explanation which wrecks 50 many well-planned deceptions. “Of course I don’t mean this would have been your real present. but even as a secondary thing T wouldn't have liked to give you that imit tien jade because you never wea the real ene any more, and T thought perhaps you were off that coler or something.” derneath the words he was speaking I heard the undercurrent of these he was thinking. Fer he knew as well as I that no such triv- jal reafon as he voiced had kept me from wearing the . exquisite semething peculiarly sacred and sig- nificant to both of us. 1 simply could not besr to bring up the ten. er memories which the lovely ng eveked, and had lecked it y in my box of personal tréas- ures. But in the sudden rush of tender- ness which was mine, 1 resolved to wear the necklace upon the very first opportunity.. Feeling nearer in ispirit to him than had been my lot tor many a day, I answered his question. “Oh! ne, indeed.” T protested, “That jade green is my favorite caler, and 1 woyld rather wear that neckiace than anything else 1 own. I've been promising myself a new evening gown which woyld do it justice.” “Let me design it for you, will you?” Dicky asked, and 1 saw the look in his eyes which meant that the “artist's temperament” had scized him and that he was visual- izing me in seme sartorial cencep- tion of his own. It was net a new experience for me. In the first days of our marriage Dicky gave me the hasic ideals for most of my gowns— his eye for celor and line is unerring —but in these later months of e trangement T had felt that he neither knew ner cared what 1 wore. “I'd love to have you,” T told him truthfully, and his eyes nar- rowed in the old way as he looked at me speculatively. “Get me a pencil and a plece of | paper, son.” he said, and Junier, |ways * thrilled by Dicky's werk, Prlmporfld to his desk and was back | again by the time his father had {aeated himaself before a small table. “Just hold that pese a minute’ he said, and immediately busied himself with the drawing. T stood meotionless’ until he completed the hasty sketch. Then he brought it over to me. “Yeou'll me a wow in this." he said, the old nete of affection in his veice, as he peinted ent the principal points of the gawn he had sketehed. 'And T know the very material yoy ought te get for it. something new in stuff for cvening gowns. Fde ‘as raving abeut it the other day. | 8he's moing te do an article absut | it.

Whe is te blame? “The house-builder,” answered Miss Kneeland. “Instead of trying te educate the housewife, we should be devoting our first efforts to edu- cating the architect, .“H'a-t housewives must take their kitchens as they find them.

Burgess) Jiven those in wisdem schooled At times will be qquite badly foeled. —Old Mother Nllure,} Varmer Brown's Boy called Spooky the Screech Owl the police- man of the barn” which was a very good name. You sce, Spooky was spending the cold weather in Farm- <r Brown’s barn, and he was keeping the rats and mice out of mischief there. 8pooky had learned all the places where the rats and the mice were likely to be seen and he kept a sharp watch of all those places. It was seldom that S8pooky swooped down in vain. Bome of those rats and mice were very qauick, but after all, the best thing to do was to run, and Bpooky knew - just how to catch them. But ene evening Spooky was fooled. yes, sir, Bpooky was fooled. He had to admit it to himself. It was this way, He was sitting up on his favorite perch on a rafter up in the reef of the barn. It was a good place from which to watch. He could see all over the barn, He had been watching the grain bin dewn below, for it was around that grain | bin that he had caught most of the rats and mice on which he had been living, They just couldn’t keep away from that grain bin. 80 when Spooky felt it was time to eat, he would watch sharply that grain bin. On this particular evening Spooky had been growing more and more hungry and hadn't seen a single meuse or young rat. %0 he had kept his eyes most of the time on that grain bin, hoping and hoping that he would see his dinner down there. But once in a while he weuld turn his head qquickly from side to side for a hurried look in other dirzctions. It was during one of these hurried looks that he caught sight of & small ferm mov- ing alang on one of the big heams of the barn. Instantly Spooky spread his wings. That small form was t00 big for a mouse, so it must be = young rat. “He hasn't got & chance, 8nooky te himself. “He's way out on fhat beam and he can’s get back ‘~ a hiting place. He is an good as ™Mo right this very second.” " know that Spooky makes ne 1 when he flies. His winks, like *~ of other members of the Owl V. #re noiseless.

Then Spooky darted down with his claws | | renching to seize his vietim. Then Spooky ed down with his claws reaching to seize his victim. the barn. ‘This was s0 unexpected that it took - Spooky a minute to get straightened around and fly in pur. suit. By that time it was too late. | His keen ears heard a soft little thud down below on the wall of the barn, and then that dinner he had been 8o sure of dirappeared. ! Spooky turncd in midair and flew back to his perch. He was very much out of sorts. It would have made him out of sorts to have been simply fooled, but to be fooled and to lose & dinner at the samec time was, you must admit, enough to put any one out of sorts. He snapped his bill angrily. “Timmy, the Flying Squirrel!” he exclaimed. *“What business has he here in this barn? And T thought it was & young rat! Well, he won%t fool me again! Onec of thesc dayp T'U catch him. But that doesn’t help me eut any new. Ha! There is a sure enough young rat down there!” Once more Spooky took to his wings. A few minutes later he was sitting on his perch, & picture eof contentment, with the tail of a youn rat ranging from a corner of his mouth. (Copyright, 1929, T. W.

During this stage of development we hear the ittie girl naively re. mark that when mother goes away she will. take care of daddy, she knows how and she can de censidered eet’ amysing while the implicit wish is unnoticed. Actually the little ghl wishes her mother would go away 80 that she could have daddy all to herself. This idea is not so alte. gether sweet but, strange as it seems, it is wholly natyral and quite universal. When the mother is affcctiongts and understanding this pbase s & passing one. The child in trying to be like mother so that she can “take care of daddy” estahlishes her mother’as the ideal person she herself would like to hecome. Thus mether and daughter become the best of friends. . But when home conditions 1 ecen- tuate the early antagonism between mother and daughter years of un. happiness may result with a conss- quent warping of the child’s whele emetional development. ‘When father gives special spelling aitentien to ‘every clever thing his little daughter says and dees, when mether in correspondingly severe and unsympathetic, the fire is laid which will blaze into trouble fin future years. From such situations spring the mannish weman who would ruther be like an adored father than sn unloved mother, the too clinging daughter who doesn't get married when ahe sheuld because she can't bear to leave home, the woman whe, having married, makes life miser- able for her husband by expeeting him to be a father to her, and whe when she becomes a mother her- self, is gravely unfit for the task. Old Voltaire Home Is Menaced by Progress Geneva, Feb, 1.—{M—Herolc of- forts are being made to preserve the fouse at Geneva occupied by Vel- faire, the great French philosopher and historian. This house, called “The Delight" (Les Delices) and situated in the heart of old Geneva, was Voitaire's home for many years. The writer had lost favor with King Louis XV and had taken refuge in Prussia. Dissatistied there, he came to Ge- neva in 1754, seeking, as he “said, & land of liberty, Later Voltaire abandoned Tha i Delight and moved to Ferney, just across the French border, where he lived for 20 years. The famous Louse is mow used for apartments and ‘the_ewners want to replace it with a2 meodern structure, Vol taire’s friends wish to buy it and haid it dewn to posterity as & his- toric monument. that order to the left, for each plate or utensil is held in the left hand as it 1s washed. “Since the china sterage shouyld be near the dining-table and it posaible near the drain-board, teo, it * Mould be 'Best ' t6 have this ‘cleaning away sequence’ working toward the dinfhg ‘room. on the side 6f the kifchen opposite the ‘preparing food sequence.’ “The kitchen should be com- pact and shaped .obleng in pref- erence to square so that the dis- tanee from the cabinet to the sink will be the shortest possible.

However, the whe couple will realize from_the first that the health of the child is much more im- portant than the titit or turn-up of ita nose, Experienced parents realize that an extremely cute baby may be just the opposite when it rcaches eight years of age. The fat thin and the thin ones get fat; the curly-headed plond =six months of age may be a straight-haired raven at the age of 15, The child with a positive Was- serman test has a condition which demands a great deal of attention before it is suitable for adoption. The child who has come from a family with tuberculosis may pass through a long period of invalidism before it is healthful, Mental deficiency can be recog- nized after three or four months of age, but some mental taints do not appear until later in life, For this reason it is highty important to have some conception of the amount of mental defect in the ancestry of the child that is being considered for adoption.
