Tell wme how I can help you." “Do you know that my father thinks you have remarkable creative ability and a wonderful sense of the dramatic?” he asked. 1 gripped the table so hard in my excitement that I hurt my hand. But pain meant nothing to me at that moment. Such praise as this, coming from Philip Veritzen, meant that perhaps I could at last realize the ambition I never had dared speak aloud, but which had obsessed me secretly for years—the desire to write something which could be put into drama form and perhaps pro- duced. The next moment all my flaming rapture turned to ashes. Sheer Impertinence “I am sure it isn't because he is prejudiced in your favor, either,” Noel went on, shyly, “although you knew, I suppose, that he admires vour personality tremendously. Why! do you know that he even took Queen Olga's picture from the trame which had stood upon his desk so long and put a photograph of you in it.” That boy did not realize the sig- nificance of his revelation I was is singularly unworldly— but 1 felt myselt shaken with anger. “Where did he get my photo- graph?” 1 asked a bit hoarsely. “I e him one.” 'No, he said you hadn’t,” Noel replied. “I spoke of it, because 1t really is a wond-rful photograph of you, and he said it was one taken a group of exccutives photo. graphed in the office for a maga- had yours taken out and He stopped in sudden embar. rassed contrition. “I shouldn’t have told you that,” he cried. “I had forgotten that my father cantioned mo not to speak of it. ‘Mrs. Graham might not like it he said, ‘but no one except ourselves and the maid who takes care of this room will ever see the picture, nnd the girl doesn’'t know who it But I am so sorry I spoke of it.” “It doesn't matter,” I said, pulling myself together. Later I would deal with the matter of the photograph. Just now I must find out what Noel wished of me. He did not leave e longer in doubt. Flattering Faith “I'm glad you're not angry,” he you do the librettos for them, and see that the whole thing has histor- ical accuracy? 1 am sure that it will be a success if only you will do that.” ‘The boy's faith in me was like a draught of heady wine, and 1T smothered the little warning voice which told me that if I thus ranged myself upon Noel's side in his at- tempt to achieve economic independ- ence of his father, in all probab- ility T would jeopardize my own future in the great producer's or- ganization. I was s0 angry at my employer, so filled with sympathy for his son, that at that moment ] would have sacrificed anything to help the boy. “Bring me the score as soon 28 you can, Noel,” I said. “I am sure you have altogether too exalted an opinion of my ability, but I will do my level best to write something worthy of your music.” “Your kindness is divine,” he told me fervently. “1 shall bring you the score tomorrow—no—how can 1? You say it will not be best for me to see Mary?" Well Laid Plans “No indeed,” I answered prompt- ly. *I want you to keep out of Mary's way until the night of the ifttle dinner which Prince Georges has planned to announce their en- gagement. He wishes to keep their hetrothal a secret until then, so of course, you know nothing until you hear of it that night. But when you recelve your invitation I want you to persuade Princess Olina to let you announce your engagement to her at the dinner. And if you dare to appear anything but a happy and devoted lover, I wash my hands of you. “It is a difficult tagk you set me,” he said with a wry little smile, “though I shall try to acquit myself creditably. But that does not selve the problem of getting my score to you." “Let me mansge that,” I told him. “Mr. Underwood, I know, will be only too glad to act as messen- ger. I'll ask him to go over to your hotel tomorrow and fetch the mu- sic back. Do you mind it I tell him and Mrs. Underwood about it? They are my best friends, you know, and they both are your very great ad- mirers.” He winced involuntarily, from shyness, I knew, then resolutely conquered his nerves, “I shall be glad to have them know, but you won't tell Mary about it?" As it his utterance of her name had power to summon the girl he loved, we heard running footsteps on the veranda outside, and the next instant Mary had burst wildly into the room calling frantically: come quickly, somebody!

Burgess Respect the rights of other folk And in their business never poke. —Danny Meadow Mouse Danny Meadow Mouse was deep- er down in the ground than he real- ized. He was quite below the frost line. Jack Frost couldn't possibly down there. He was running along through the tunnels of Miner the Mole. Danny had not known be- fore this that Miner ever went so deep. Miner's tunnels with which Danny had previously been acquain- ted hal all been just under the sur- face. In fact, they were so near the surface that Miner pushed the ground up as he dug his way along. 8o Danny had always been used to running atong right in the grass roots, as it were. But these little tunnels that he was exploring now were way, way down deep, If Danny had not been so sure that Miner must be somewhere asleep for the winter he wouldn't have been quite so bold. It did trou- ble him a little that he kept get- ting the smell of Mole, and that that smell seemed fairly fresh. He couldn’t understand this. He thought it must be that he was near Miner's bedroom. So he moved very cauti- ously. Still, he didn’t find that bed- room And then suddenly his ears caught a sound ahead of him. Some one was coming along the very tunnel he was in. Danny’s little heart seem- «d to skip a beat. He turned around, for there was room in that tunnel for him to turn. and he started | "k. He could hear some one com- ing behind him, “It's Miner,” thought Danny. “Tt can't be anybody else. He must have waked up. My, T wish I could get out of here! I don't like being so far down in the ground. It was Miner who was coming fter Danny. Danny was mistaken in thinking that Miner had been sleep. Miner the Mole 18 not one of sleepers.

Miner doesn’t look alike at both ends, but he runy either way. That is why that wonderful thick fur of his is so different from the fur of most oth- er animals. You know you can smooth it either way. That is to say, it will lie down either way. It has to be that way, or he couldn’t back up in a hurry, for it would be most uncomfortable to be brushing his fur the wrong way.

For nearly 25 yeara now Moselsio has been studying hands. In his Berlin studio he has one of the most varied, un- usual and noted world collections of sculptored hands. In his gal- lery there are 250 different types of hands, hands from such famous people as, Chopin, Isadora Duncan, and many famous actors and phy- sicians. Also some fascinating criminal hands. “Hands are the most tell-tale in- dicator of character that humans have,” Moselsio stated, slowly. simmer a few minutes in sour milk. in the thoughtfully, in his charming broken English. “A woman can shut her eyes. She can vide for the future. It has just am- nounced reports for 1938, which The figures indicate that the ex- pectancy of life among wage earn- ers was, in 1938, 56.42 at birth, whereas in 1911 and 1913 it was 46.63 years. The life expoctancy of the indus- trial population has galned i years during the 16-year period, as contrasted with the gain of only 6.06 years for the general popula- tion. No doubt, this is a reflection to a considerable extent of the in- creased attention being given to in- dustrial hygiene and industrial health, Cancer Rate Rises During 1938, the death rates from typhold fever, scarlet fever, diph- theria, tuberculosis, diarrheal com- plaints and conditions associated with childbirth were lower than be- fore. On the other hand, the rates for heart disease rose, as did also thase for cancer. ‘These rates are perhaps associated with increased longevity and with the fact that people are now dying of diseases of advanced age rather than the infectious diseases which carried men off early in the past. Of great importance perhaps was the increase in the death rate from diabetes. 8ince 1911, the death rate from that disease has increased 34 per cent, notwithstanding the fact that insulin has prolonged the lives of thousands of diabetics. Since the introduction of insulin, death rates from this disease have come down for all age groups up to ¢5. Between ¢5 and 65 years of age, no important change has oc- curred, and the deaths from dia- betes after 65 years have shown a distinct and significant rise, 8u) Secretion pplics It must be understood that insu- true sense of the word ‘‘cure. takes the place of a missing secre- tion from an organ called the pan- creas, which provides a substance that alds the human body in sugar digestion. The speed and stress of .modern life are definitely associated with the increased incidence of diabetes. It is known that great mental stress or great physical exercise can cause tugar to appear in the urine, hence the battle against diabetes would seem to be associated with the war- tare nst the speed and strain of modern life, as well as with the purely physical attempt to provide assistance for incapable human or- gans. LEARNING TO TALK (By Alice Judson Peale) Children brought up in even the best institutions do not learn to talk neéarly as soon as those who are brought up at home by a mother who hears in her baby's most inco- herent babble all sorts of words and Which hands are yours? Simon Moselsio, sculptor and student o as follows: (Left, upper) The careerist bound to succeed but, if success fails, one that might become erotic rather than through intclligent effort; of fine, strong character; (Right, upper) likes home and all it means, but who is just a trifle too artistic fo mination who mn concentrate on her ideals and drive through to s the | (Conter) A woman whos The hands of a lovely w hands will tell truth about her character. In fact, her hands may tell much more about herself than she her- self knows.” He Isn't & Palmist It is not the lines In the palms that count, according to Moselsio. It is the general shape, the width across at various intervals, the length of fingers. shape and pro- portion to the palm, the thickness end modelling in general and the traceries of blood vessels. More- over, the movement of hands fully as important as shape. “One’s little fingers and thumbs are tell-tale digits,” Moselsio said. “Take the thumb for instance. If there is a short distance hetween the end of the thumb and the top Joint it indicat-s a narrow mind. ignorance, sentimentalism. This is the thumb of a hard-headed business man who is totally devot- ed to one person, his wife, mayhe. He is apt to overwhelm her with interest but be brutal to everyone else. Or it may be a daughter he concentrates his affections on. “The distance and shape of the second joint of the thumb is im- portant. The balanced person has a thumb that is slightly narrower between the joints than above the first joint. Tt must slope in a lit- tle or it indicates ignorance. But if it slopes too much, if the space lips. Her i seal her is too thin, it indicates an egoist.” “As the thumb tells strength or character, determination and in- meanings. The mother who listens to her baby and then answers him quite as if she expected him to un derstand who talks to him while she bathes and dresses him is doing the very best thing to speed the actual | development of his speech. ‘The very little baby lylng in his cradle is responsive to the sound of his mother's volice, since it is asso- clated with the most pleasant ex- periences of his life. He learns to listen for words and to feel them as a kind of friendly response. This is an important link in the process of learning to talk, Unfortunately, the mother who is charmed with her baby's babble is the very one who is likely to imitate his own baby noises instead of speaking language to him as she should. Thus instead of helping him to talk she actually retards his development, As the child grows older and at- tempts the pronunciation of words it {is important never to laugh at him, The child is often very sensitive about his speech and feels keenly any derision of his attempts. It he senses the laughter as a farm of loving approval as it sometimes fis, he may retain his infantile speech as a method of getting attention. When the child confuses ayllables in the pronunciation of an unfa- miliar long word he should not be made to repeat it correctly, one syllable at a time. To do so only leads to further confusion, Hands Up!

Her fingers may be long but not se¢ gently tapering and they are apl to be flat on the ends. Sometimet her fingers are quite long and cap- able looking. There are apt to be many blue veins on the back o) her hand. “The genius hand may also have many veins but its shape cannol be described very exactly for may sometimes seem somewhat undeveloped, like a child's, or it may verge on the very sloping hand, like the degenerate’s.

But there are usually twice aa many veins showing as on the other hands, especially a fine trac- ery of blue veins on the wrist running into the inside of the hand. “Bors leaders, like Napoleont of the world, whether feminine o1 masculine, have big hands. They are much wider through the palm than the artistic hands or the home hands. They may be much, much wider across the top of the palms than across near the wrist."
