Patent Office By Adele Garrison Mrs. Ticer Agrees to Kecp Katte ia the Dask, and Enjoys the Joke I shot a whirsical smile at my plump neighbor as she veiced th: ballef that I had something to tell her. . *Who has ‘witches’ blood,’ now 1 Jeased. “But you're right, I have ething to tell you and ask you." +Asking isn't necessary,” she sald rdily. “Just tell me what you wgnt done.” +Thank you,” I returned heartily. “We haven't much time to waste wpon empty formality at that. But you must let me say first how glad I am that you are coming to the tarmpouse to help us through the next few days.” Her face grew grave. “Yon know T'd come any fime” she said, “and I told Mis’' Under- wood so. But I didn't tell her that I was afraid Katie'd go up in the air when she found out I was com- ing to the farm. Me and Katie don't hitch very well, you know. “I know one thing, that the fault 1sn’t on your side.” I spoke heartily, with the consciousness that I was telling only the truth, for indeed Katie's jealous temper was alone re- sponsible for the friction in the household machinery when Mrs. Ticer “helped vut” at the farm. Mrs. Ticer's broad face beamed. “It's mighty good of you to say #0,” she said, “and you may be sure T'll be mighty careful to keep on th2 right side of her when I come over.” *I know you will,” I told her, “and 1 think you'll find her on her best behavior. But tell me, do your hus- hand and son know that we want them tc help Jim for the next few days?" “Not yet,” Mrs. Ticer replied with the magnificent ignoring of her “men folk's” dignity which always gives me an firresistible desire to laugh., “Time enough for them to know tonight. They'd only gibble gabble about it and neglect their work if I did tell them.” She had summed up her garrulous easy-going hushand and son in a phrase, but I knew that, woman- like, she would resent any ac- quiescence of mire in her verdict. More Secrets Revealed “You're too hard on them,” I smiled, and hurried on before she could offer a disclaimer. “But I'm glad you didn’t tell them, for now there’ll be only you to keep a se- crét I'm going to whisper to you “That's a good thing,” she said caustically. “Ticer and Jerry cau keep a secret if I stand over 'em with/a hickory switch, but naturally MRS. WOOD DUCK JS A BUSY MOTHER By Thoraton W. Burgess What te do and where to go Somehow mothers always know. =—Old Mother Nature It certainly was a queer sight that Peter Rabbit saw. When he got home to the dear Old Briar-patch he told Mrs, Peter that it was the queer- est sight he had ever seen or ever expected to see. Probably he will say the same thing the next queer sight he sees. But it was queer, there's no denying that. Peter was in his favorite place un- der a certain little hemlock tree, where he was quite hidden himself, but could watch the home of the ‘Wood Ducks. This was, as you know, |too much. They might burs they spill everything they know. But what's on your mind?" “Simply this,” I said. “Katie sug- gested you people come over to help, and if she thinks it's her idea, she will be in a pleasant mood all the time you are there. 8o I want you to keep to youcself the fact that Mrs. Underwood asked you about it this morning.” Mrs. Ticer lay back in her chair and laughed until the tears stood in her eyes. “That Katie'll be the death of me yet,” she said. *“And this certainly will be one good joke on her. 5| 1 won't say anything about Mis’ Underwood. In fact I've forgotten all about seeing her. I don’t believe she was here this morning at all. As far as I know, this is the first I've heard of going over to the tarm- house, but I'll be mighty glad to help you out, and so will Ticer and Jerry. Just what do you want us to do?” “Before I tell you that,” I said slowly, “I want you to know all about this affair. Some surprising things have been happening in the last day or two, things which you ought to know before you come over to the farmhouse.” She looked at me attentively. An Emoty Gesture “Don’t tell me anything you'd rather not,” she said with an heroic attempt to stifl¢ the curiosity which looked out from her eyet “I'm telling you these things be- cause I want you to know them,” I said emphatically, and hurried into a revelation ot the identities of *'Miss Lincoln” and Mr. Jackson,” of the plot against Georges and the precautions we were taking to safe- guard our royal visitors at the farm. | Tt was a more abridged account than |the one I had given Katie, but I saw when I had finished that it had pleased my good neighbor and sated her avid curiosity. “I'd guessed a lot about those two,” she said, when I had finished, “and I'm " glad to know the truth. Now, I'll be careful how much of this I tell to Ticer and Jerry. They'll have to know some of it, if they're going to help outside there, but there's no sense of their being told She laughed richly again, then grew sober ‘as her eyes fell upon Noel, still talking to Henry Schmidt. “You're going to have a sick boy on your hands if you don't look out,” she sald gravely.

IMPORTANT MATT Ry Alice Judson Peale We are so eager to have-our chil- dren behave well, appear clever, and reflect credit upon their home that we tend to teach them those habits which will do just this without first giving thoughtful consideration to their value in terms of growth and development. Thus, table manners, polite forms, the memorizing of rhymes, the art of counting, prompt obedience and an attractive exterior receive a large proportiun of our attention. But are they really worth the time and energy we spend on them? It would seem that they are not. Re- cent studies of children show ore and more the importance of dyna- mic, alert attitudes rather than of fixed patterns of response, It is, for instance, of greater value %o the child to learn to express his thoughts in words with freedom aud poise than to be able to repeat ver- batim a dozen nursery rhymes. It 1s more _mportant that he should meet people with friendly feelings than that he should be ex- pert in the use of ‘“please” and New Derryvale linens suitable for (Above) In a room where blinds cool the su curtains or upholstery are designed by well-known artists this year. e r abr and reed furniture s ed. a floral patterned linen in greens, blue and beige and a conventional ch ecked design alternate for upholstery.

Over these you can put plain colored washable drapes or curtains. Most familics, however, cannot af- ford new shades and curtains. A maximum of innovation within the means of the average family seems to lie in change of drapes, rather than glass curtains plus shades.
