Love’s Awakening suutm Wuu By Adele Garrison Veripem is Elated to Learn That Prince Georges' Sult is Drawing Mary Farthor Away from Noel. My depreasion deepened as I drove Philip Veritzen gver the short “winding rosd which led from the “main highway to the restaurant in .the woods near the sea, whence Mary had fled with news of the at- tempted _ assassination of Prince Georges. My memories of that night were s0 poignantly clear that I felt as it T were reliving them. I could ‘net shake off, either, the eerie little premonition that the place had not finished with me; that something unpleasant—itf not tragic—lurked within its walls for me. But nothing of this could I voice to my companion. Before we left the restaurant which he had chosen for the explanations TLillian had commanded me to give him, I must acquaint him with the drama which had been enacted with the inn as a background, but I was putting off the discomfort of that recital as long as possible. T found it impossible to talk, how- ‘ever. Even the usual commonplaces refused to come to my lips, and it was in silence that we drove into the curved stone driveway of the inn. An obsequious waiter met us at the door, one of the men who had been with Noel, Mary and me in the drive down the road in search of Prince Georges. There was a quick- ly suppressed flash of recognition in his eyes 48 he saw me, but his face was imperturbable undér my care- ful ignoring of him. His greeting f "Mr. Veritzen, however, was the “last word in deferential, attentive Trecognition, and my employer bask- ed in it. . ‘Tea for Two “ “A table near the window, Hen- ¥i”" he said imperatively, yet gra- ‘ciously. “We want only some tea and “Mittle cakes and fruit, and we want Jthem at once. Be sure that no one ‘geta a table near us." The waiter bent low in his assur- \pnce that the great man should have ‘his wishes obeyed to the letter, and 4ndeed we were served almost im- “mediately with the things for which ,,my employer had asked. w “You are to te)l me nothing until you have had ydqur tea,” Mr. Verit- 3on said, “although I warn you 1 Shall not wait a minute afterward. +3Mrs. Underwood was perfectly right - - - L - - - - - - - - - - - ~ THE DUCKLING 1§ MISSED e n all the world there is no other ho suffers ilke an anxious mothe, - b - = While the disobedient little Duck- $ing who had slipped away by him- 1f was having a lot of, to him, Jery frighttul adventures, his eleven wrothérs and sisters were following ftheir mother, Mrs. Wood Duck. The Junaway hadn't been missed. Nu one #aw him when he slipped away, so Mo one thought of him. Twelve chil ren are a lot to keep track of. M 00d Duck was finding it so. It awas not until the end of the pond ‘was reached that Mother Wood DPuck suspected that one of her fam- 4ly was missing. 8he called all the Ducklings }uuna her. They came hurrying to er, as well-trained Ducklings ehould. Anxiously she looked them ®ver. But they wouldn't keep still. ¥hey would move about. So she was ever sure that she had counted all »f them. Dut after a*while she be- —Mrs. Wood Duck (in her estimate of my curiosity, but don’t tell her so0.” His eyes met mine merrily across the table, and insensibly I felt my resentment against him vanishing. I remembered Lillian’s comment when I first met him, that “Phil Verizen, when he wished, could be the most fascinating man alive,” and also re- membered that this was not the first time T had realized the truth of her saying. I dropped my eyes quickly, for mine is not a “poker fa and 1 had no mind that he should read my softened mood. “l shall be most discreet in my report 1o her,” I said demurely, and then busied myself with my tea and cakes until 1 could no longer pre- tend absorption in them. Veritzen Is Rcassured Before 1 begin this story,” 1 said when we were dallying over our last cup of tea, “I want to assurc you that no one is hurt now, and that everyone is carefully guarded. Nothing can happen to anyone while Mr. Underwood is in charge of the farmhouse. But he really is enforc- ing military law upon us, and that is the reason 1 could not invite you there for these ekplanations instead of meeting vou in this way.” | His face had whitened as I spoke, and 1 saw his fingers clench the edge of the table, “Who had been hurt, and in dan- r?" he asked. Not you—" There was a subtle cmphatis on the pronoun which was most flat- tering, but I ignored it. “I shall have to give headlines first, T see,” I told him. “There is a plot to assassinate Prince Georges by men in the em- play of the Prince’s cousin next in line to the throne. The Prince was shot one night when he was driving with Mary, but not seriously wound- There was an attempt to Kkill Mary, also, but her quickness and resourcefulness thwarted it.” “Ah-h!” he breathed, his eyes blazing with excitement. “They must ehav thought—that affair is pro- gressing then?" T could have struck him for his callousneas. He probably was not interested in Mary's escape, only in her aftair with Prince Georges which kept her away frém Noel. ge vou the (Continued Tomorrow) Copyright, 1929, Newspaper Feature Service, Inc. “What's all the trouble!” he demanded Mink instantly. She knew Billy Mink as far as she could see him. She knew, too, a great deal about him. “Probably he's caught that baby of mine,” thought she. “It must have been somewhere along here that the little scamp became lost, . What s .

By Alice Judson Peale Tt used to e the fashion to com- plain that children had too much of (@ will of their own; that they were headstrong in their impulees and shockingly persistent in getting what they wanted. Now we have a new complaint. The modern nursery school teacher, who sees many children each year, asserts that she finds them entirely too plastic, too easily persuaded, too readily diverted from their genuine interests. 8he feels it to be one of her chief duties to protect the young child's embryonic personality from the en- croachments of dominating grown- ups and older children. A parent, an older playmate, may readily play -a devastating part in the life of a smull child. Adult ap- proval and disapproval place values on types of response which are not important to the child’s own devel- opment. In trying to please his superiors he follows paths which are not the ones of real growth for him. Es- pecially does the influence of per- sonalities tend to take the child away from his attack on his imme- diate . physical environment and ke him play upon the theme of soclability and personal response. The child nceds a background of security in his parents’ love and in- terest, but needs to be free, to weave ; his patterns of self initiated activi- tics, and to register his own indi- vidual responses. The nursery school ix able to achieve with relative case what we at home will find great difficulty in doing. We can, however, resolve to let our youngster find things out for himself. We can abstain from in- truding our personalitics, our stand- ards, when he is engrossed in his own pursuits. A good share of his day we can leave him alone with plenty of good play materials. We can protect him from the presence of over- wheliming older children while we seck for him companions of his own age.

A blue suit with a skivt print has a black fallle jacket. (Left to right) The’jacket frock of chartreuse, black and beige voke has a powder blue jabot frock that tucks in, The hat 5 blue and bue, 100, A study in black and while is a bisck sult with overblouse of white naod- ernistically appliqued in both black and white, New York, May 14—With first indications that this was to be a suit- spring, couturiers turned their atten- tion to individualizing the suit mode. ‘The results have been more than gratifying to the woman who de- mands styles suitable to her and per- haps to her alone. There is real diversity in suits today. One can have a whole wardrobe of suits and no two will be alike, either in fabric cut or feel. Three special divisions of the spring will have been developed t which First, and newest, is the short jacket suit with separate blouse of the tuck-in variety. This type of suit makes much of the hip yoke and belts of the skirts and the blouse is more apt to be off-white satin or plain colored “silk. batiste or organ- die than to be rigured. Becond. there is the jacket suit that makes its coat with feminine teuches such as scarf effects and belts and uses overblouses the same pattern as the coat's lining. This is really the ensemble of last year gone youthful, with a short Jacket instead of a long coat. Third, and this type will have increasing importance as warm weather neurs, there is the jacket dress, the little suit composed of a frock and contrasting jacket to top it. Blue and Blue The navy blue tailored suit with tuck-in blouse leads in popularity this year. Navy blue always has had a popularity envied by all other colors for serviceability. Whether of flat crepe, crepe de chine, faille, eatin or roughish silk, the navy blue silk tailored suit standz a chance of being the favored summer costume for trav- el, everyday wear and for informu! afternoon things. One navy blue faille suit T made has a powder blue flat crepe blous: with a novel little double jabot ef- fect, flaring on either side of a fit- ted neckpiece o fthe suit's faille. The suit's skirt fits smartly around the hips, by means of a shaped yoke. From the side front double box pleats flare after hip-length. A belt of the faille buttons with a bone but- ton on one side of the front. With this I advise a navy blue ballibuntl hat, of the long-in-the. back cut, which has powder blue grosgrain ribbon laced through its slit brim to face one side of th. brim and to band the crown of the bat on the other ride. Another suit that has several no- ticeable points'of chic is a study in black and white, with the over- blouse of white crepella, mofern- istically designed with hand-ap- pliqued geometrical figures of the black and the white. The skirt bas one triple box pleat, inverted in the French manner. The coat rounds its front facings and uses double rows of buttons up the sleeves. It is belted in black suede. The coat's collar is a scarf one, with whife facings. Topping this is a white bouclette braid mushroom hat with a banding of black suede like the suit's belt. This banding ties itself into a cute bow far back on one side. Ior the jacket frock, T have used a print of black, chartreuse and beige and black faille. The frock hus a pleated skirt and a plain neckline, with a beige jabot on triangular cut. The little black jacket has its body composed of graduated. bands of black faille, posed on crepe roma to give the appearance of horizontal stripes, yet be only one thickness. With this a scarf of the print is edged in diagonal manner in the black and the chartreuse. The chartreuse felt has the new off-the- face cut. BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hy- gela, the Health Magazine Some people believe that if one | touches a toad, one will get warts. The back of a toad appears to be | full of warts. Much has heen said in previous articles in this scries about symbolical magic.

In a previous article some of the many superstitions related to the removal of warts were care- fully considered. Most of these were likewise of th order of sym- bolical magic. The scientific books on diseases of the skin recognize the fact that the cause of warts iy un- known. 1t is known that the wart represents a thickness of certain lay- ers of the skin with projection up- ward and that is process Is initiated by an irritation which may be due to poison, to bacteria, to nychanical action, jor possibly to nerve disturb- ance: There is one excellent way, how. ever, of proving promptly that touching a toad will not produce warts—that is to get a toad and touch it. It is a safe bet that the warts yill not appear in the vast majority of cases when this ex- periment is tried. The toad and frog have always had great interest for the ma- gician. According to one legend of the papt, if the tongue of a live frog was removed and placed on the heart of .-a woman who was sleeping, one could ask her any question and she would give a true mnswer. That chance is just about as good a chauce aa the chance of producing a wart.

In the middle ages it was believed that a toadstone worn in a finger ring would give warning of the presence of poison by chang- ing its cdlor. In the days of the Borgia this was a useful warning. An eminent magician of the twelfth century told how to tell a real toadstorme from a false one, He suggested that the stone be held before the toad so that the toad could see it “If it is a right and true stone.” he said, “the tload will leap to- wards it as though he would snatch it."” Since the toad and.frog are very much nearsighted, it is doubtful that they ever saw the stone in the first place. The toadstone was be- ileved to have marvelous powers in charming away disease. Modern sci- entific knowledge has largely dissi- pated such beliefs in ancient pree ventive medicine.
