Love’s Awakening SMM W-n By Adele Garrison “Mrs, Ticer Has to Be Humored Like 7" a Chiid Before She Will Join in the Family’s Plans 1 felt distinctly uncomfortable at the childish figure which I felt T was cutting in my colloquy With * Anna Schmidt, but I could see 1o al- “fernative. It was highly necessary to our plan for the protection of Prin- cess Olina at the farmhouse that we Jhave no unnecessary people on our hands. It this faithful old servant were to continue grieving as I had “found her doing, a recurrence of her 'serious heart attack would be al- most inevitable. And, to do Olina justice, 1 knew that the slightest hint "'of Anna’s condition would bring her to the old woman's side, regardless of possible danger to herself. So T salved my conscience—or rather my sense of the fitness of things—with these unguents as the old woman looked fixedly at me and replied to my question. “I will never tell you tell me.” “Not the princess, band?" T stipulated “Nobody, novody,” she reiterated “Then,” 1 lowered my voice, "I =will tell you one reason why I do —not wish the princess to marry Mr. oel. 1 want him to marry an i American girl—my niece.” ' For the first time I saw the wraith of a smile flit across her anybody what not your tear-ravaged face. i “Ah—h!" she said, and I knew !'that I had hit upon the one thing ! which would make her belicve me. | \\She had not much faith, poor Anna, “in the altruism of anyone. But if "1 could convince her that I wanted i Noel for my niece, she would believe ‘i that I would keep the promise T had i:made her not to permit her adored .\ Mistress to marry the young Ameri- can. t Anna Is Convinced a Wifh an intuition that I would ‘ndo well to say nothing more for a «little, T kept silent while on her ''worn face incredulity finally gave ..way to belief and confidence in me. w Finally she broke the silence. “You good woman,’ 'she said. “I| !'believe you. You want me stop .vrymg, get ready, go away, 80 you care of"—she choked—‘my It was the old nurse who was {\speaking now, the woman who had | herself under control, and that though she would grieve at the sep- “\aration from her darling, she would 'have no more tetror for her, and ““would be able to school herself to I want you to go to your ‘*home as quickly as you can,” I “'said, "It you cry as you were do- «ing, you will be sick and cannot go. PETER SEES THE QUEEREST SIGHT By Thornton W. Burgess «+Mother Nature doth arrange o+ Her affairs in ways most strange. v‘., —Peter Rabbit Little Mra. Peter Rabbit was quite , provoked.

After he had listen- d to Mrs. Peter's complaints as" .lcng as he could, he stamped as only Peter can stamp. “If you talked less. wperhaps 1 would stay at home !'more,” said he. “But the more you | ‘wtalk, the less T want to stay home.” +With' this he turned his back on m-; ‘tle Mrs. Petor. !\ One could hardly blame Peter for \ wanting 1o be out and about thes: 8pring days. there was a great deal ‘1o see. There was much to hear. If \Peter had been less curious, it might | \/have been casier for him to stay in ‘ithe dear Old Briar-patch. But you | !'know how full of curiosity Peter | | Rabbit is. So not even his duty to| \ilittle Mra. Peter could keep him at home. The one thing that Peter was “Most interested in was the home of | the Wood Ducks. He had seen Mrs. | Wood Duck enter a certain hole in | a certain dead trec. That hole was very high up from the ground. Hx had seen Mrs. Wood Duck do this more than once and each time ]e saw it he wanted to pinch himself fo make sure that he saw what he thought he saw. It was very, vers | hard work to believe that a Duck of any kind would nest in a hole in a tree like a Woodpecker or an Ows, | But Beauty the Wood Duck had told | Peter that a hole in a tree or | stump was always their choice for a | home, ‘80 there was nothing for Pe- | ter to do but to believe Beauty and his own eyes. Beauty had told Peter that Mrs, Wood Duck would be sitting on the eggs for two or three weeks. It would have made it casier for Peter it Beauty had told him exactly how many days Mrs. Wood Duck would be sitting on th> eggs. You sce, Pe- ter wanted to he on hand when those eggs hatched. He couldn't ir [ agine how those ducklings 2o- ng to get dowa out of that tree and Beauty wouldn't tell hini. S0 Petes vag determined to be on hund whe the great event took p!

She rose to her feet and drew her frail figure erect. “You will not pleaded. *No, indeed,” T said. “I will tell | her only the truth, that you are a very brave woman and love her dearly.” She put out her hand, then drew it back as if she were taking a liberty. But 1 grasped it with the feeling that a handclasp from so devoted a soul as hers was some- thing like an accolade. “Goodbye. you,” she said and with that bene- diction in my ears T went back to ‘the other room, finding it empty. | But upon crossing it and going out | on the veranda, I found Mrs. Ticer |in a watchful, guarding attitude, | while a little distance off, upon the | lawn, Noel was engaged in an ani- | mated colloquy with the dour old | man who had been in the service of Princess Olina, More Coddling to Do verything's all right,” 1 said | hastily, as she turned to me, inter- \logdtmn in every line of her face. | “She’s stopped sobbing, and is really quite calm. I don't think she will give you any imore trouble.” | She put her arms akimbo and looked at me admiringly. “I don't know how you did it,” she said, shaking her head. “You're |a wonder. Ticer would say you had | witches' blood in you.” She laughed comfortably pulled out a chair. “Can’L you sit down a bit?" she asked, with one eye upon the iras- cible old man in the distance. “T feel as if I'd ike that old coot out there to see us sitting and talking pleasant like — he's been lording it s0 long, and him nothing but a hired man himself. If it hadn’t been | for Miss Linco'n and the poor old lady 1'd have quit long ago.” 1 humored her very human de- sire and sat down in the chair while she took one opposite me. The Iold man on the lawn lifted his head, glared at her and took a step to- ward us, then evidently reflected that he had no more control over her, for he turned back to Noel Mrs. Ticer laughed softly at the lit- | tle by-play. “That almost tell her,” she and killed him,” she |said, “but as the youngsters say, ‘I should worry. But,” looking keenly at me, “you didn’t sit down herr just to give him an eyeful. You've got something to tell me, 1 know."

Tl sy §\(Once Overs Patent 0ffice jul THN By C. D. Batchelor VARETY IS, THE SPICE OF FASHION N-w York, May l.—V riety being the spicy thing it is alleged to be, one might venture to remark that spring styles are seasoned to the Queen's taste! For there's more variety to any single type of costume than one can mention. A mere stroll down Park avenue, without even shopping along Madison or the late §0s or lunch- ing at Pierre's or Marguery's, proves this. In a single day I saw a dozen dif- ferent versions of the tweed street costume. Also fully as many ideas of what's what in footwear with tweed, No two hats are the same. Purses are as individual as the wo- men who carry them. Elinor Barry has a one-sided cape frock in beige tweed that is the last word in smartneas, It is a diag- onal lined tweed, in very soft fabric, and its beige background is flecked in darker tones. The skirt is pleated all-around, the jumper ik beited and from one shoulder a circular cgpe swings. S8he wears brown antelope pumps tipped and saddled in calf- skin. A Rhapsody in Brown Mrs. 8herburn M, Becker, Jr., has godets in the skirt of her tan tweed suit and wears a brown scarf knotted in muffier style under her chin, Her purse and shoes are brown lizard, and her three eyelet oxfords, with high heel. Genevieve Clendenin's = brown tweed suit is flecked with red and she sponsors the new style of wear- ing a bright tuck-in blouse, one of red. The polka dot still retains its chic with the exclusive, in spite of almost democratic popularity. But of course that little spice of varlety enters again. I never before saw the kind of cute polka dotted fabric that Mrs. Sheldon T. Coleman's new blue suit is fashioned of. It has a very fine and faint off-white fleck in dot shape. There is & nice feminine,| touch to the way the coat's collar ripples like a jabot. A double sable neckpiece did its bit, too. Skirting the New Mode Mrs. William C. Loew came back from Europe on the Leviathan wear- ing something new in skirts, and cus well below the knees with na long split-tunic where last year's skirts ended. Her tuck-in blouse was of modernistic hand-blocked cash- mere, a fabric that bids fair to rival “I think your husband will approve that gown.” “My Heavens, Grace, is it as bad as that?” Time Yourself Today T T I T AT T T T EEE/ SNNEE/ AN AN dNE7ANNE T AT I ] ) ARAREEE) ok o Wl dEEE7dNd7/dEEN AEN/ RN A AN/ dEEEN NN/ EEEN/dAEN HORIZONTAL T To propel a boat by means of ugu.ggggmmm oars.

Cool and chill, 2 OF TOYS By Alice Judson Peale Those in charge of children tend to spoil their play activities cither by preventing unorthodox use of toys or by permitting them to be used with wanton destructiveness. Blocks may be used quite proper- ly for many things besides building houses and rallroad tracks. They may be carted about in wagons as a load of bricks, or they may bp de- livered as groceries on various nurs- ery chairs. But when the child throws them about or marks them with his cray- ons, they serve no good purpose for him and we may stop him arbi- trarily. Dolls may be subjected to a hun- dred hardships but they should never be kicked or thrown. Crayons may be used for the most aimless scribble or for an incipient work of art, but never should they mark anything but paper or pasteboard. A hammer may be used for pounding blocks of wood or for driving nails but the child should not be allowed to break his own toys with it or to pound the nursery fur- niture, ’ Wher a child is presented some I new play material it is wise to al- {low him to initiate his own uses for it. At the same time we should watch him carefully 10 see that he does not misuse it. If, within fixed limits, the child is permitted free use of his toys he will get the maxmum pleasure and benefit from them. In this way he derives the rich- est experience from his play and learns an cssential respect for things. This is one of the many les- sons which, learned in the nursery gives the child the constructive at- titude and the,imaginative approach that are vital if he is to make the most of his growing years.

Princess lines do a lot for the right figure. I saw Mabel Burchard walking down Park avenue in a light spring coat cut princess line and it was terribly becoming. Her pouch purse and classic, simple opera pumps were of snakeskin. Pin-striped silk is the medium of some mighty smart blouses and frocks this season. Mrs. James T. Bidwell has a sweet lavender and white tuck-in, blouse with a scallop- jed collar that falls like a jabot. i Summer sports frocks will undeubt- edly make use of this dainty silk and I shouldn't, be surprised if beach outfits appreciated its summery Flowers Bespeak the Season Flowers are giving a spring touch to many frocks. Anne Kiesewatter wears a charming off-white satin blouse with a ong-coated suit that has a flower made of satin at the point of its V neck, a becoming van- ity. Marjorie Qelrichs has a wide brimmed brown “hat with lovely flowers on it and wears shoulder flowers to match. Of all flowers, however, the lus- cious looking and aluring fragrant gardenia is scen oftenest on new spring outfits. Doris Burden wears one on her right side, though most girls prefer the left shoulder. Janc Foster wore a spray of gardenias one day. YOUR HEALTH BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hy- geis, the Health Magazine The belief that alcoholic drinks of gne type or another have great vir- ture in the prevention of coughs, colds and even pneumonia has per- sisted for many years. It is not a superstition, since there are no magic rituals asso- ciated with tlis bellef, other than are assoclat2l with the general use of wine in Jewish, Roman and Christian festivals. In practically every religion the drinking of wine s considered meritorious and is asyociated with the celebra- tion of important events. No doubt, special virtues have at- tached to the use of wine for this reason. Scientifically, it is know that the taking of alcohol produces in the human being a state called euphoria, a sense of well being, which has caused alcohol to be used for a variety of ailments since the beginning of time. The empirical use of this sub- stance proceeded until eventually special claims began to be made for whiskey in the treatment of sepsis of one type or another, the idea being that the alcohol, in the blood actually overcame the in- fection. Today there .5 a cunslaer- able amount of evidence availablé to indicate that 'n some instances the use of alcohol may definitely dimin- ish resistance to infection. When the great influenza epidem- ic swept across the country in 1918 there were tremendous demands for whiskey on the part of hospitals and of physicians pecause this alcoholic drink was presumed to have special virtues in controlling that disease. A critical survey of the scientific evi- dence indicates that the morbidity and mortality rates were just about the same in those treated with and without aj-ohol. The chief value of drugs and physical measures in such condi tions is to relieve the patient from pain and depression while the t sues of his body muster them- selves in their attack upon the discase. No doubt, some people find whiskey exceedingly comfort- ing under these circumstances, bu* the whiskey will not prevent pneu- monia and. according te some medical authorities, will even make the likelihood of pneumonia greater. |are coming in ag: — VE IRON If you intend doing much laun- dering this summer, a small iron is a saving.
