After all, the problem of keep- ing Philip Veritzen away from the farmhouse so that he could not up- set the kindly conspiracy for the happinees of our “international quartet” was more mine than hers. THE DISOBEDIENT DUCKLING By Thoraton Those who thisk they know it all Find they're. ridjng for a fall. ° —Old Mother Nature. . Burgess € There was one of the Ducklings of Feauty the Wood Duck who was headstreng. In a large family there arve sure to be one or two who are headstrong. This Duckling was smart. Yes, indeed, he was smart. Probably that is why he was head- 'ong. He was one of those who co rpt like to mind just because they ought to. He wanted a reason for everything. ‘ou should mind.” said his moth- «r. “whenever I tell you to do a thing or not to do a thing. You need re other reason than that 1 have | 1014 you to do or not to do a thing. ‘That is reason enough. If you do not mind you will gome to a bad end and a sad end one of these days. The little Duckling said nothing, but he was thinking. Yes, sir, he was thinking, and his thoughts ran omething like this: “That's no rea- son at all. T don’t mind minding when I can see a reason for it Mother is apt to be a little overwor- | ried. ®he is sometimes foolishly | airaid. Why, right this minute T can take care of myself hetter than she can take care of me." It was almost as if Mother Wood | Duck had heard him. Yes. sir, it was 30. “We are going up to the other end of the pond.” said she, “and T wan! all of you to follow very closely. It won't do for any one of you to drop out. There are dangers all the wav, But If you will stay with me 1 will sse to It that no harm comes to| you.” The headstrong little Duckling heard what his mother said, hut it went in one ear and out the other. w8 the saying is. He heard. but he Adidn’t intend to heed. That is, he d¥dn’t Intend to heed if there should Be anythinz to attract his attention “That is talk, just talk.” said he to himself. “1 haven't seen a thin, be afraid of since I've heen on pond. 1 don't believe there is any- thing to he afraid of. Anyway. T'm mot afmid. If 1 see anvthing inter esting, I'm going to look at it. T can always catch up.” Presently the Theadstrong 1little Puckling did sec something that in- terested him. It was close in shore He couldn't quite make out what it was. He looked about hastily with those bright little eyes of his.

In prosperous ‘| homes it is likely to be a handsome, complicated aftair—the sort you sit in and propel in a lady-like, effort- less fashion. Yet the very best kind of swing in_still that humble contrivance which always has hung from the old apple tree. For the child of three er more the best possible swing consists of a board and rope. In play with it he learns first of all to sit and push himself with his feet, then to bal- ance himself astanding, and to “pump” alone or with a partner. and how to push another child and Eet out of the way of the returning awing before he is hit by it. ANl thewe things which scem so simple to us represent to the child genu- ine achlevements in skill, poise and self confidence. IFor the baby from two to three years of age a variation of sWing may be made. A board about 12 inches wide should be used. There hould be two holes in each end. Through these the ropes should | be passed, the two at cach end be- ing bound together about 24 inhces above the seat. At first the swing should be hung only a few inches above the ground. Later, as the child gains increasing skill, we may raise it & little s0 as to give him a chance for freer me- tien. This type of awing is quite steady and safe for the baby's early experiments and it will serve him 7l [AlR[FTRIVIRAS TR VIT[u]S ) [RIAIR[eREACIATZS IO[R]T] [SIPIAINIC TAINRQEIRIN]E] oRfoJlim[e [O]AlL PR § (NIelelo[ElDILTEIP[EIR]S ] AvR] T IR e INIV | BBBBEB/GEBIB BDIBB/w‘I 1 olate cake, coffee.

For the Prinde of Wales will assist Queen Mary at the Roysl Courts. which is resson eneugh for every debutante or older woman wanting to look her best when she makes ker bow hefore the threne. Mise Americe may have a prefer- ence for Paris party frecks signed by famous French coyturisrs. Or she may be tremendously satisficl by sports clothes made on her own side of the herring pond. But the Miss America who is lucky enough to have the soclal distinotion ef be- ing presented at one of the Royal Courts to be held this season, preb- ally wiil shop for her presentation gown here in Lendon, ‘When it cames to this Royal Court businessy, London dressmakers hold a tremendous advantage over the rest of the courturier world. For Courts are strictly a British institu- sion and they are run according tto British rules. Two of these are: First—Her Majesty the Queen cach year selects the deaigns for the dreases that are to be worn at Court by the four classes of women to be rresented: Nebutantes, newly.weds, matrons and, lastly, the older wom- en. Second—These designs are on view in the offece of the Lord Cham- berlain in 8t.

Pastel Colors Are Worn 1t follows as & netural corollary that they will spend their money in London, for it is the London court dressmakers who furnish all the de- signs from which the Queen makes her cheice. There os a general and mistaken belie? in the United Sttes that, as a rule, colors are not worn at Courts, the debutante being clothed in white as are June brides. But this is all wrong .80 long as she conforma te the designs chosen, she has free choice of any colors that suits her fancy er her complexion. As a mat- ter of fact, this summer Miss Amer- ica and Miss Joan Bull are going in espacially for the pale pastel shades.

Certain London dressmakers make a specialty of designing court gowns that receive the Royal approval.

Rich Embedidery and Long Train For the girl being presented on her marriage, there is a more elab- orate gown, one of parchment lace with its pattern ‘embroidered in |pearls.

The matron’s presentation gown |is a handsome pastel colored model. elaborately embroidered in diamante and pearis. Its silk velvet train tones in with the gown but is unembrol- dered.
