Love's Awakening By Adele Imtarwetional Complications Arc ‘Threatened by Startling Ru- mors from Abroad Lillian looked at me attentively a3 her husband told me she had ad- vised his passing along to me the plece of gossip he had received con- corning the royal house of Trees. 1 may present a “poker face” to out- siders, but I never can fool Lilllan, and she suddenly smiled impishly. “f think Madge has something of her own to tell,” she said, and Harry Underwood put me into an easy chair with a flourish. “All right, cards on the table” he said, then as I hesitated, he spread his arms with a wide theatric gesture. “I'll show my hand first, and then we'll see what you have in yours,” he said. “It's simply this. If my underground whispering wire is correct—and it usually is—the nifty young man whom we know as George Jackson is extremely likely to find himself king of Trees within six months, or less.” 1 gasped at the significance of this news coming so quickly after my interview with the young man in question, and Lillian struck in: “Tell her how you know, Harry, and then we can hear her news.” “Remember 1 told you a while ago there was likely to he news con- cerning that lad, or words to that effect?” Mr. Underwood asked. “I remember,” I said breathlessly. *T had heard then,” he said slow- ly, “though a source which never has given me a false report, that the king of Trees, supposed to be an uncommonly healthy old codger, was in reality suffering from an in- curable disease, a condition which only one or two people besides his physicians suspected. Everybody knows that the king's brother —not Georges’ father—he is dead—but the only other male member of the succession—is a hopeless, helpless invalid of the type, however, that outlasts a dozen healthy kinsmen. Just today, however, I had a mes- sage that the king cannot live six months, and that the invalid broth- er’s {liness has become acute. That puts it strictly up to our friend Georges. The cream of the joke is that while they know he's over here somewhere, nobody in authori- ty seems to know just where. Whetr- er his own special pals, with whom he must be in communication, know the truth concerning the king, no- body knows. I can't say anything. because of the way the information came to me. Now, there's my hand. Will you lay down yours?" Two Plus Two “It fits in surprisingly,” I said, and forthwith told them of the an- nouncement Prinee Georges had made to me of his betrothal to Mary, and of my revelation of his 1dentity to his fiancee. Both Mr. and Mrs. Underwood listened to my re- cital with flattering attention, and when I had finished Harry gave & The lluflsm Smdmt W-n Garrisen mance bids fair to get into the lime- light.

But I knew there was no deceiving the two pair of keen eyes fixed upon me. “I know something concerning them,” I said slowly, “but am not at liberty vet to tell you what it is." “It's not hard to guess,” Harry Underwood said, “though 1 won't ask you even to bat an eye as to whether I'm rigat or wrong. But a moron could see weeks ago that Olina had made up her mind to an- nex Noel by fair means or the other kind. She's probably backed the poor lad into a corner, pointed pistol at his head and given him his choice of matrimony or death. And Noel's too chivalrous to choose the lat though I'l bet he wanted to.” He had come so near the truth that for a second or two I could only stare at him in amazed silence. But at his low amused chuckle, ¥ turned to Lillian appealingly, and she promptly came to my rescue. Down t0 Cases “Beat it, Harry,” she commanded laughing, “while the going's good. You've got all the cards in your hands now, and can spend the rest of the afternoon shuffling them.” “That’s all the reward I get for being a walking wircless service,” Mr, Underwood grumbled. But he lost no time in obeying his wife's mandate, and when he had gone Lillian looked over at me with a shrewd smile. Now spill the real said, and I told her of the party Prince Georges meant to “throw" tor himself, Mary, Noel and Olina, with Philip Veritzen and myself as the joint chaperons. “My sainted great-grandmother— at least T hope she's sainted!” Lil. lian exclaimed. “Wouldn't I like to be the mouse in the wainscoting when the Dicky-bird finds that out? Not that it isn't the most natural procedure in the world, but you've probably observed that when you and Philip Veritzen are in question, Dicky immediately becomes as ar- chaic as Methuselah in his ideas.

But there | was nothing he could do about fit. He had learned that by experience. His babies were eight or nine days old before he had a real look at them. By that time they had their eyes open, they had begun to use their little ears and all pos- sessed little fur coats. In fact, they looked like real Mice. It was then that Danny was allowed to pay them a visit. Danny had given up all thoughts of visiting them, so he was more than a little surprised when he met Nanny Meadow Mouse some distance from the little home. Nanny was hurrying along and most ran into Danny before she saw | him. “Goodnes she exclaimed. “How | is it that you are always right in the way?” Danny looked T'm sorry, my dear, get right out of the way. tell me what are you doing here. “Looking for something to eat,” replied Nanny. “You do look rather thin,” Tanny. “Why shouldn’t squeaked Nanny. “If you had eight hungry e mouths to fced you would be a little fooli.h said | 1 2 the bables red Danny.

There was the story of the child who played with matches. The last picture with horrid realism showed the disobedient one going through the final agonies of being burned alive, Then there was the story of the plump and rosy child who refused his soup and every day grew leaner and leaner. The end showed the pic- ture of a fresh grave surmounted with a headstone on which was carved a handsome soup tureen in memory of the boy who died be- cause he would not eat his soup. Diverting as these stories are, it is well they have gone out of fash- fon. They are the worst sort of edu- cation, making heroes as they do of the wicked ones, and suggesting ways of getting thrills and achiev- ing importance that would otherwise never enter children’s heads. Although such storics are no longer given to children the educa- tional method for which they stood remains fixed in the habits of par- ents everywhere. The threatening voice, the suspicious glance, the command not to do this and not to do that. all suggest wa of being naughty. They make the “don'ts” of life more interesting than the “'do’'s” so that the attentio. of the children is concentraivu on what not to do, and the forbidden alone becom attractive to the adventur- ous spirit. The best way to conquer {satan is to pay him scant notice nd never to let him think that h» is the hero of the story. trace | LACK OF FUNDS NO WORRY Rube Wagner, assistant coach at Wisconsin | year, arrived at Madison | vears ago withont a dime, but supported himself four years in college and carned letiers in foot- ball and track. who will be an nest four | When Marion Broadstone, tackle at Nebraska this year, quit school to have an operation performed in it was learned he had played the entir: football scason with an internal illne : Sl e | FLAPPER FANNY SAYS: ) cups fruit n | j & | 1 RES.

There is as much diversity of media as there is departufe in cut. It promises to be a spring of mul- titudinous materials of unusual and interesting weaves and coloring. The importance of fabrics of course grew out of the simple styles which are now being abandoned. With the straight up and down lines, the beauty of material was essential. From this insistence on lovely stuffs to fashion clothes from has grown a real appreciation of fabrics. Never have women thought more about the goods that make their clothes. 5 Materials Are Many The result is that there are in- numerable new and fascinating ma- terials upon the market. The soft, pliable, flattering woolens from Paris, like the Rodier cloths, are now supplemented by similar ones from other houses. Novelty flannels, jerseys with lacy designa, men's suiting weaves, dark backgrounds in light colors, silk-patterned wor- steds, smooth glossy woolens, crepes of sheer wool sprinkled with color of thread. patterns, and dozcns of other brand new woolens are now available for jacket suits, coats, tailleurs. Of silks it is hard to say anything adequate, I'or silks have gone gor- geous and extremely individual in coloring, weave, texture and pat- tern, Soft ribbed silks, varying from graceful failles to the ribbed silks from China that men's suits are made’ from, are very good this spring. Pebbly silks are also. Mo- rocains, printed ottomans, foulards, figured and checked georgettes, silks with linen weaves, alpaca, voiles and lovely and unusual printed smooth ailks in designs from Chinese mo- tifs to quaint wall-paper prints are all found ready for the fastidious woman who likes her things beauti- ful and a ljttle different. Linens, ginghams and various cottons in fine and lacy weaves are used in conjunction with wools and silks for spring outfits. It is not un- usual to find a handkerchief linen blouse in, say, chartreuse shade, with & blue transparent worsted suit. The colors used this summer can depend upon one's type, to a large extent. While evening clothes choose their color somewhat with regard to ma- terials, it is safe to say that off- whites, especially pinkish tones, greens, chartreuse, red and a clear light blue will perhaps Icad in popu- larity. Purchase With Care In choosing the spring wardrobe, since new fabrics and new colors must be tried out, the safest thing is to buy things one at a time, fill- ing in carefully the wardrobe one has planned. This entails having certain good looking garments as a basic start towards that perfect wardrobe every woman wants. Perhaps a little suit is the best start on earth. Then a dress and jacket or a dressy en- semble and a sports ensemble might be the best next cholces. All must be selected with care to fabric, color, design and line. A little trim suit that would be an ideal first choice for spring is a Scotch tweed in black and beige novelty herringbone design. The skirt is twice new—first because it takes a tuck-in blouse with it; sec- ond, because it is gored and eacn seam is overstitched to emphasize this important fact. The jacket has a scarf collar as its only closing and on warm sunny days this scarf falls open, showing the beige silk blouse with a round yoke and fine tucks running out from it. With this the best choice for a first spring hat is a little ve- lour coronet chapeau, with a flaring brim that rolls up from the face and sweeps the neck in the back. Here's a striking Ensemble Next comes a serviceable and stunning ensemble of embroidered wool crepe jersey topped by crepe de chine. The color scheme is wood browns, with gold and silver threads making an cfiective pattern amongst |the browns on the one-piece dress. This dress is belted and its neck I binding ties in a sweet bow. The coat is rather straight line, with nds of embroidery for cuffs, wl collar and pockets. The hat for this is a light brown rabbit felt, with a curtain drop back. | The back tapers to bandings in [(l'ont which cross at one side effec- | tively. These are edged in darker brown. For a real summery day one should have selected a silk dre with one of the stunning new flo ered silk coats. One of these is a | floral pattern in dainty turquoise blue of very dainty porcelain pat- terns. The roll collar, flaring sleeves and f ng fullness of this cout give it dash. The frock under it is hois de rose flat crepe, with pleated side | panels.
