Love’s Awakening a Steadfast Woman By Adele Garrison Prince Georges snd Mary Plan o “Throw a Party” i Celcbration of Their Engagement Mary's cheeks and lips were al- most deveid of color when I finished my revelation to her of the real identity of the young man she had known a Jackson. That my little speech had been ridiculously gran- diose I was well aware, but Mary's attitude toward her suddenly ac- quired flance was so blatantly flip- pant,, and that of Prince Georges so shocked and surprised, that 1 felt my stilted announcement was the only possible means of 1ash engagement really meant. She looked at me almost vacantly for a fleeting second after I had told her that “George Jackson” as Prince George, nephew of the King of Trees, and second in succession to the throne. Then with conscious- ness of the full meaning of my words dawning in her eyes she turned toward the young man watching her with tense anxiety and took a step toward him exactly T told myself, like & bewildered child warily ap-| proaching some puzzling object. | The young prince held out hi bands to her appealingly. *Mary he said breathlessly. | The color rushed back into her cheeks and lips and her cyes were suddenly starry. T saw only too plainly that the realization of what my announcement meant was like a draught of heady wine or a dose of a potent drug. Whatever her reac- tions might be later just now she was intoxicated with the sudden fan- | tastic vision of herself as a possible | future queen. In this dazzling mo- ment she had forgotten her love for Noel Veritzen and the fact that she deliberately had maneuvered her engagement to “George Jackson" for the sole purpose of “getting even’ with Noel because he had acceded to Princess Olina's proposal of mar- riage. 01d World Courtesy “George” she murmured with an air of pretty deference and an up- ward glance of her eyes calculated to sweep any young man from the moorings of dignity. Her hands| had gone out to meet his and he grasped them tightly and drew her toward him impetuously. The aver- age youth would have hugged her rapturously regardless of my pres- ence but the background of cere- monious tradition held with the]| young prince and when she was al- most in his arms he stopped and murmuring something in his own language with an intonation which was in itself a caress he bent to her hands held to his and kissed them reverently, bringing | Mary 1o a realization of what her| | to you. the feeling of its being simply that, a fantastic thing of the same gosms- mer texture as George's infatuation for Mary, and the dazzling allure- ment of his rank which was tempo- rarily swaying the girl. Noiselessly, 1 turned to slip away from the room, but Mary's quick perception seemed my withdrawal, and I heard a dis- tinct note of panic in her peremp- tory call of “Auntie Madge!" 1 turned back to find the tableau dissolved and Prince Gearges smil- ing tenderly at his newly gcquired flancee. I guessed that Mary's wish for me was to him an evidence of timidity and shrinking most natural in a girl of plebelan birth who had just discovered that her betrothed was second in succession to the throne. With difficulty T suppressed a serdonic little smile at his mistake. For I was sure that Mary still held only a fear of being left alone with him until she should have had time to analyze her own reactions to the surprising news of his identity, Planning a Party “I did not mean to startle dearest,” the young prince said ten- derly. “But, of course, I realize that all this is most overwhelming I think T would better leave you to yourself for a little while. But I do wish to plan some- thing in honor of my happiness. What is it you say over here?"— he turned to me deferentially, but with a spark of mischief in his ex- cited eyes—" “throw a party?” T should like to do just that. Wil Mr. Graham be at home soon?" “I do not think s0,” T returned, truthfully. “He has to make a trip to another state soon, and T do not think he intends to come home be- fore he goes. T am afraid you will not be ahle to wait for him.” “I am very sorry,” Prince Georges said regretfully, “But you will be with us, of course?” “Yes, indeed, thank you.” 1 said, but regretted my decision the next minute when he added: “We will have a nice little party of six. Yourself, Mr. Veritzen and his son—Miss Lincoln—" he hesi- tated over the name, and then pat- ently decided to permit Olina to make her own revelation to Mary, “and ourselves.”” He bowed to Mary. “Do those names meect with your approval, dearest?” “Yes, Georges,” she returned with a fetchingly demure little air. But my mind held a troubling qquestion Which persisted after the young prince had taken his formal leave. How would Dicky react to this in- timate little “party” in which Philip Veritzen and T were to be the only older people?

Burgess In all this world there is no otfier That knows the troubles of mother. —Nanny Meadow Mouse. Danny Meadow Mouse awose from his nap. He yawned and stretched and wondered how it was that he wasn't sleeping in his own home. Then he remembered that Nanny had refused to allow him to enter that home and had sent him away, saying that she had troubles enough without being bothered by him. ‘What those troubles were he could- n't imagine, “I wonder it she is feeling any better natured now,” thought Dan- ny. Il run over and see.” 80 Danny scampered over to his| home and stopped just outside. He remembered the reception he had received before and he feit a little . timid about venturing in now. While ; he was trying to make up his mind ‘whether he would or not, Nanny Meadow Mouse peeped out. ““Oh, it's you!” said she. “Well, keep| away. As I told you before, I have troubles enough.” “But I don’t understand what those troubles are,” protested Dan-| ny. Nanny looked at him very hard 8he saw that he rcally meant what he said. “So you don’t know what they are!” she exclaimed. “Well, it's time for you to learn. You can come in for just a minute." 8o Danny came in for just a min- ute. To his great surprise he found that there really wasn't room for him. Quite filling the comfort- able bed was a squirming mass of naked little Mouse babies. They didn't even have their eyes open. | They had no little fur coats. Nanny | allowed him just one look. Then she pushed him out and went back to her family. “How many are there?” squeaked Danny, from the doorway. “Eight,”” replied Nanny. Danny would have whistled if a Mouse could whistle, “You are quite right, my dear, you are quite right,” he squeaked, Quite right about what?” asked Nanny. “Having troublex enough.” replied v. "I shall keep out of your my dear.” “Do,” squeaked Nanny. “I will.” said Danny. And, suit- ing the action to the word, he scam- pered off to get something to es*. Now you must admit that eight babies is a real family. It was the largest family that Nanny Meadow Mouse had ever had. Once she had had six bables and had thought that | she had all that any mother could 4o | in looking after those. But now she| had two more than that. Such a load | of responsibility! All those babics must be fed. She must make sure that each one had its full share, And now that they had no little fur coats she must make very, very sure that they did not get chilled. She could- n't leave them uncovered. Thut wouldn't do at all. “Trouble, trouble, trouble!" she muttered to herself. “I wonder if] any other mother ever had so many {was very well satisfied to leave the Feature Service, Tnc.) Nanny allowed him just onc lopk But all the time Nanny very proud of that big family. Not for the world would she have had anything happen to even one of them. All her muttering and acolding didn't mean a thing. It was| > Jjust -her way. You know, mothers are that way sometimes. As for Danny Meadow Mouse, he care of that big family entirely to Nanny. While they were so little there was nothing he could do to|, help, s0 he was quite satisfied to mply look in once in a while and leave it at that. (Copyright, 1929, by T. W.

Frozen Fruit Salad Alice Judson Peale You can give a child his food, you can even put it into his mouth, but you can't make him swallow it. He knows this as well as you do and it he chooses he can make the entire houschold dance attendance on his meals. g He knows that usually all he has to do is to close his lips tightly and the victory is his. But even if the food is forcibly placed hetween his lips, ie has but to spit it out in & moment or, worse still, hold it in his cheeks for hours to center on him- self the attention of everyone. The meal hour, instead of being a time when the normal appetite is satistied, hecomes a contest of wills, a three-ring circus in which the youngster finds himself in the de- lightful position of ringmaster. The child often is allowed to anything he wants in return for swallowing a little of his dinner. Does he wish to be sung to, to hear to be fed by hand? If he consent to partake of a few he can have any kind of |show e likes. When once this sort of thing has become firmly entrenched a spartan attitude on vour part is necessary. { You must school yourself not to show the excessive solicitude you feel. The food must be put before the child without fuss or comment. Your manner must be such as to v the irance that you fully expeet him to cat heartily. After that take no notice of him until & > time has clapsed, then plate away. If he has eaten Lwell e may be praised, if not, there |should be no remark nor $lgn of emotion.

Chocolate Broynfes (Always ular) 1-4 cup fat. 1 cup sugar. 1-4 cup milk. 2 cges. 1 teaspoon vanilla. 2 squares chocolate, melted. 1 teaspoon salt. 1-3 cup nuts. Cream the fat and sugar.

Remove from the pan, cut in strips and roll in powdered sugar. There is no baking powder need- cd in this recipe, as the beating makes the batter light enough. These are rich, well flavored cakes and should not be served too often.

TALBOT, BY BETSY SCHUYLER NEA Service Writer Palm Beach, Fla., Feb. 16—The yellow peril that is inescapable here, cannot fail to have after-effects in I parts of the country, s0 you might as well be prepared. Yellow is just the smartest color there is and is worn by blondes, brunets and intermediates. It has always becn my contention that the blonde who wanted to be the most devastating, had only to appear in an evening gown of yel- low satin, with graceful classic lines, and she could spoil the evening for any other woman. Yellow's Scope Is Widened And I have likewise noticed that yellow sport attire on a brunet was wonderfully effective, 1 have secen titian-haired beauties ravishing in yellow chiffon. But I have always felt that yellow was dynamite for the woman who was not a pro- nounced type. This year, however, everyone wears yellow, and there are as many shades of it as there are of beige. Some grade naturally into orange, and others, if intesified become al- most green. That yellowish green, which s sometimes known char- treuse, is & marvelous accent for the white gown. I think it is more ef- fective as trimming than as a whole costume, for it is almost too much of a good thing if you get too much —particularly if you get it close to tanned flesh. ICll Be a Yellow Springtime There- is now a yellow for every compiexion, and if you want to keep up with the procession, you'll be ready to burst out in it in the spring time—tra la. I saw Jean Moore, the other day in a frock of white silk, printed with a small design in blue, and with it she was wearing a yellow sport coat and hat. And she looked rming. The same day T saw Mrs. R. Am. cotts Wilsow, strolling about in a lovely white sports frock, with a box pleated skirt and a long sleeved blouse, and she was wearing a white sport hat banded in yellow and car- ried a handbag of yellow printed material with a yellow tortoise shell top. Frances Gillmore, looked very smart in a blue sports dress, sleeve- less jumper and pleated skirt, with a belt of decper blue leather and large wooden heads. A Little Touch of the Orient Marjorie Oelrichs is one of the few Palm Beachers who prefers the turban to the cloche hat. She has them in all colors to match all her and it must be admitted that © very appropriate te her cular style of beauty, She has achieved such an oriental hue, that she is quite the envy of many dam- sels who can't get that marvelous deep-seated looklhg tan that seems ready fo stay for a lifetime. She looked very smart as she re- turned from a shopping jaunt the other day—carrying a large paste- hoard box that looked as if it might he a complete new ensemble—wear- ing a white sport dress and white turban, and blazer jacket of enor- mous wide blue stripes. A most striking figure was Mrs. Persifor | III in a sweater out- fit in {wo tones of blue, the light shade heing introduced in wide dia- mond shapes that gave the effect of a very wide streak of lightning. Tt wag one of those lovely hand-knit affairs, and the effect was much less I © than it sounds. Style Pursues Milady Into the Surf Women here do look marvelous ‘n their bathing togs—none more so than Mrs, Bruce Powell, in her navy blue jersey with the white yoke and the tiny blue monogram. Peggy Phipps is offen seen doing her shopping in a bathing suit with A silk coat thrown over the ensem- ble, and a big wide floppy hat. Nat- urally, at such a time, she adopts | the popular stockingless fad. Red is very much in evidence here now—used for accent rather than complete costumes. Mrs. Har- jol1 .

MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine The consideration that has been given to the human body has taken but little account of some of the newer discoveries in the field of medicine. The ultra-violet rays, sunlight, cod liver oil, the vitamins, the calories and similar words have become known to all of us because of the tremendous publicity given to them in recent discussions on health subjects, One is tempted to insert at this point the ancient proverb “Be not the first by whom the new is tried.” The progress of science is rapid and it is almost impossible for anyone to keep abreast of all its innovations. The safe path is to be assured that new methods are neces- sary. New techniques for prolonging life should have been thoroughly tested in the laboratories and practices of the experienced before. any attempt is made to utilize them in the roa- tine of daily life, To Books for Health Facts The books to be mentidned in this reading course are mercly the be- ginning of a new literature on health, They have been selected to elaborate the points made in this preliminary discussion and to afford to any reader safe and stimulating guides to the care of the human body. The progress of preventive medi- cine and of personal hygiene is to rapid, however, that the reader can hardly keep abreast by the reading of books alone. ¥or this reason the American Medical As- cal called Hygeia, which includes not only original contributions by vari- ous authorities in the health field, but also cditorial discussions of health problems, reviews of new books on health, and a department of “Questions and Answers" in which the problems of readers are given special consideration, « It has been argued that physl soclation issues a monthly periodi- | MRS. BRUCE POWELL, cians and scientists are not capabl of writing about health and hygien in terms that people can understan and that it is going to be necessa for fiction writers and essayists ta learn enough about these scientifie subjects to enable them to interpre satisfactorily for the public the com moner facts about health, All the books 1o be recommendad have been written by physicians ol scientists who have developed a lit. erary technique which makes it po sible for them to write in langua that anyone can understand. The dramatization of medicin and of science constitutes anothe tield, including the great biogra phics and autobiograpnies of medi cal men, the picturesque works off DeKruif, the story of Panama and of the medical corps in great wars. |The individual man may, through | study of the carc of his own body learn much of the way in which scl ence protects man in the mast against the deadly plagues that havy devastated humanity in the past.
