I'm going way back to the begin- ning of this little comedy—melo- drama—it’s a wonder old Phil Verit- zen wouldn't want to make a play of it."” “Veritzen Ts to Blame.” There was sudden venom in her tone at her reference to Noel's father, the man who had promised to make her “the most famous Veritzen find.” T was not surprised at the bitter, rancorous words which next come tumbling from her lips. “He’s the one who's to blame for all this,"” she said, “the darned old pole cat! He just naturally made up his mind that he wasn't going to let Noel fall for me and that he was going to toss him over to Elea- nor, though why, the Lord only knows.” Her big brown eyes fixed on mine suddenly quickened into shrewdness. “But you do, Auntie Madge, I can see that” she said, adding while I regretted by inadvertent betrayal. “But that can wait. I'm telling you something first. Do you remember the day last spring when I got a conscience attack and decided I ought to tell deah old Phil about that masked stunt?” “Yea,” I had time only for the monosyllable for she was rushing on excitedly. “Well! what do you think the old tence for me viclously. *But I haven't seen him, elther.

We wouldn't be #0 fat mow if it were not for those seeds.” “We are too fat,” declared Nanny. “Anyway, you are. If you get any fatter, you won't be able to move quickly emough to get out of the way of danger. You take my advice and keep down under the snow. That is what I am going to do.” Nanny was as good as her word. Danny eouldn’t induce her to go up to the surface with him. “Pooh!” said Danny. “There's no danger. All we have to do is to peep out and look all around before we climb out. 1, for one, don't intend to miss those fine seeds.’ So Danny continued to go up to the surface whenever he felt like it. He had one or two favorite weeds which he climbed. Sometimes he would go up in the daytime and sometimes he would go up at night, for Danny and Nanny are as active at night as in the day. You see, they believe in sleeping when you want to sleep, eating when you want to cat, and going and coming when you feel like it. So Danny got in the habit of using the same weeds over | and over for climbing up to the sur- face of the snow. And having form- ed the habit, he became careless in the manner of climbinz. At first, he would climb very cautiously. When he would reach the surface, he would first stop for a while with only his nose and eyes showing, and then he would look long and eare- fully to be sure that no enemy was about. But after a while Danny became careless. It often is that way. We become careless in matters with which we are very familiar. You know how it is yourself.

He would scramble up the stalk of a week, and do it so hurriedly that he would shake that weed, whereas at first he took the greatest care not to shake the weed. Then, having reached the surface, he would pop right out before look- ing around. Over and over again Nanny Mea- dow Mouse warned nny that sooner or later something would happen if he were not more careful. She was wiser than he—much wiser, She meant to be safe, rather than sorry.

Increasing evidence indicates more and more the importance of a sufficient amount of good rest par- ticularly for the growing child or the nervous adult. A British publication has recently secured from three leading physi- cians opinions as to the value of sleep in relationship to life in gen- eral. A special report issued by the public health department of the London county council noted partic- ularly increase of restlessness and nervousness among children, in many instances due to insufficient sleep. Not only are the actual minutes spent in slcep important, but the nature t'e sleep, since the child may rest for the normal number of hours without securing the type of rest that is involved in good sleep. Resting for several hours in dark- ness and silence while lying down is of great aid in restoring the nervous system, hut is not to be compared with the type of restora- tion and repair that occurs when one is unconscious of the existence of the world in completely restful sleep. .

New York, Feb. $—With the re- turn of more feminine styles and ruffles have \come back also senti- mental Valentines. And the very latgst styles in 1929 love missives are reproductions of the beribbhoned and bedecorated lace-paper aftairs of the Victorian 2y The alternative from the old- timer with cupids, violets and coo- ing doves is the modernistic black and silver affair which made it de- \ut this year—very tailored looking. with casual verses couched in the easy bantering style of today. Cheesed Crouton Hearts Another “revival” at the val- entine counter is the modern ver- sion of the old ‘*‘comic” which used to carry such mean thrusts under such vicious cartoons. To- day's are smaller, and more ex- pertly drawn, but the old punch is there. That Sophisticated Note Thus today, smart shops are selling, at smart prices, to sophis- ticated youths and maidens of to- day such sentiments as these: "Beneath religion’s cloudless sky, The virtues bloom, the vices die.” Or: “I love thee as I loved the first Young violet of the spring, Or the pale lily, April nurs'd To scented blossoming.” Or such a gem of naqachalance and daring as: “Since you're hint, . Here it is, old dear, in print— Will you he my valentine?"” Valentines today consider every possible urge for human affection, and are made up for grandfather, grandmother, the boss at the of- fice, the family docter, or any ac- quaintance in any walk of life, The special cards for children are delightful. The modernistic bright colors in interpret the usual Valentine symbols in riotous designs. A heart, for example, may be broken into confusion by triangles of the roseate light of an inspiration which begins at the top of the page and descends in shafts to the bottom and over to the back and then to the inside where the verse, snappily informs you: “I'm sending you a wish for entine Day-— That the things you long for may all come your way." Or the design may be one of tropic fruits and flowers with fu. turistic blue, red, orange and pur- ple petals almost hiding a sleekly modern maid woven into the back- ground. The radio, airplane, athletic sports of all kinds and all the fads of the moment are reflected in the humorous cards, with black-face damsels uttering splashy :enti- ments which even the boldest of today's flappers might hesitate to send. BEAUTIFUL HANDS PRIDE OF STARS Actresses Devote Hours fo Their Care and Development Chicago, Feb. 8 UP—Lillian Rua- sell's hands were the soft and pam- | pered kind that characterize the in- | dolent. waster, but they belied their owner, whe was industrious as well as artistic, according to Amy Leslie, Chicago theatrical critic. Miss Russell spent hours over her hands but put them to good use off the stage as well as on. Miss Leslie declared she painted well and particularly good as a muffin maker and pie haker. Miss Leslic has known most of the theatrical #tars of the past four decades. “Sophie Tucker's hands, care- fully groomed. are soft but strong. dimpled and pink, and never work outside the theater,” Miss Leslic slow to take the card done in startling effect, Val- alve, the opera singer, had dark. simall, nervous and expressive lands “ile Nellie Melba's hands were © Jarge British type, mor- mal and efficient.

Dr. Nicholas' sanctuary is a large screened porch. The pets move in and out of littlc white homes «nd gilded cages at will. They are not ordinary canaries, for when she gave up her medical practice some years ago to build up her own health Dr. White concentrated in- telligently and efficiently on her hobby. “My feathered friends need fresh air and plenty of sunshine to grow strong, just like children,” Dr. White says. “They slecep in the open on the coldest ‘nights, and no morning is too braeing to keep them from their baths. Like chil- dren, they fuss and fight, kiss and make up, snatch food from each other and later share choice mor- sels. “Like children, too, their voices must be trained. When a class is ready, T bring an expert songster from New York. If not trained, they will choose their own notes, slur them and generally follow the line of least resistance. Music is enother method of training. They will follow notes carefully and ac- curately.” Dr. Nicholas, nearing three score and ten years, was graduated from a university when nearly 50 years a college edu- cation,” she says, “but I was left a widow with three children to rear, 80 T had to postpone it for some tilne. T was morc than 45 years old before it was practical for me to enter college, but four years later 1 was graduated. I practiced medicine for scveral years, but found it t0o exacting and gave it up to save my own health.” Tatks OZ3, “BACK TALK” (By Alice Judson Peale) When their best efforts at reasons ableness and moral suasion_scem 10 rouse in the child nothing but the desire to argue and talk back, many parents feel that they have no ale ternative but to return to the strong arm methods of a past generation. They feel that the more liberal methods do not stand the practical test of daily situations. The tendency in the child to argue and talk back is caused by ome of two things—ecither the child feels that his parent is not sure of his ground or, more commonly, he feels that his parent is too domineering and makes for too many unnecessary demands. The normal child sensing uncers tainty in the adults who are dirccte ing him is sure to take advantage of the fact. This is not a sign of depravity but of a good healthy ego of the sort necessary for survival in a predatory world. The youngster who fights excessive domination is armed in a good cause. His “"Why should I?" “Why must 1?” “But T don’t see why not,’ the most convenient ways of saving himself from obeying a flood of demands which would otherwise annihilate his own small individuality. The remedies are simple. Both the dominating and the wavering parent must try to think out a con- sistent plan of action. They must give only such commands as are really essential and sce to it that these are carried out. They should never permit the discussion of any routine measure relating to healthj or safety. They should give their orders clearly in as few words as possible. Tf the occasion is such that it scems wise to give a reason. it muat be honest and impersonal, not prompted by the convenience of the moment.
