Burgess The most provoking words I know Are simply these: “I told you so.” —Mr. Wren The thing that worried Farmer Brown's Boy most regarding the nest of the Wrens'in the clothes- pin bag hanging in the shed was the possibility that Black Pussy the Cat might reach the bag and catch Jenny Wren or the babies when they hatched out. He kept Black| Pussy shut up in the house at nizht and during the day he and Mother Brown kept a watchful eye on Rlack Pussy. Two or three tim.z she had heen discovered heneath | the bag. looking up at it longingly. the tip of her tail all the time twitching. Each time she had been punished. “We can't watch that nest all the time,” said Farmer Brown's| Boy. “It has got to be protectud in | some way.” - v “lI ought to be zaid Mother | Brown. “I don't nt anything to happen to that family after having given up my clothespin bag for them.” Farmer Brown's Boy went out to the barn. He got some wire netting. | The holes wer« just big enough for a Wren to slip through easily. He made & framework and covered it with the netting Then he took the contrivance out to the shed. There with hammer and nails he went to work. Jenny Wren was on her eggs in the clothcepin hag. The hammeri frightened her. but she stuck to her egas. “1 don’t know what but 1 don't helieve he harm me at all.” she kept saying over and over to herself. “If he had been going to do us any harm. he would have done it before now Just the same, 1 wish 1 knew what he is doing." By and by the pounding sand Farmer Brown's Boy went away. Then Jenny Wren left her eggs and popped out of the clothes- | pin bag to see what had been going on. At first she was frightened. It eeemed fo her that she was a pris- oner. Bhe was inside a cage. But it didn’t take her long to discover that she wasn't a prisouer at all. The openings in the wire were just hiz enough for her to sip in and out nicely. But no one any higger than she could get inside and, there, in. side. hung the clothespin bag with her nest' and oreclous eggs, where | 1o one could reach them Black Pussy came sneaking Her tanl 'witched and her glared with Jonging. 8he had fully intended. sooner or later, to get to that clotheapia bag somehow.

What gown do you want to wear to- morrow night? I'm going to build my color scheme around you." | She hugged me ecstatically. then drew back and smiled a bit ruefully. “Have I s6 many that I can't make a choice?” she asked. "My best one, of course is that one Aunt Harriet sent me for my birtl day.” Mary Is Elated | 1 nedded. It was the gown T had | had in mind. a filmy thing of honey | color, with little bizarre touches of orange. With it Harriet had en- |closed gold slippers and chiffon ‘ltm‘kln‘l of the same shade. “Where is it now?” I asked. “In my closet.” she answered promptly. “I unpacked it the first thing.” | “Bring it to me now,” I directed. g“You can let Olina think I'm mak- ing more room for her things. I'll hang it up in my closet. Miss Fair- fax is going out to get the flowers | for me, and 1 want her to aee it before she goes. But Olina mustn't | guess.” “Woan't she be red-headed when she sees that the flowers go with my gown>" she said gleefully, and 1 did not reprove her, for in the last days at the farmhouse the spoiled young princess had given Ma many uncemfortable hoars. Besides she had twenty gowns to Mary's one, and jewels such as Dicky's winsome little niece could Qev" hope to own, unless, indeed. Mary ehould smother love with am- bition and go on with her engage- ment to Prince Georges. Of course. | L realized that 1 was being a bit catty in thus centering the spotlight upon Mary. But my love for the girl, bolstered by my resentment against Philip Veritzen for the ridic- ulous ambition which had resulted in thia troublesome “international romance.” made me determined that it should be Mary's night in every respect. “I wish you'd princess,” T said when Mary had bhrought me her gown, ‘“that a friend of ours is coming here in a | few minutes, an artist whom I'd {like her to meet.” | With curiosity I saw resentment | flame in Mary's eyes. | “I'll tell her,” she said, “but if | she's like me she’d rather take a birching than meet Miss Fairfa: How I hate that woman for what she's trying to—— Oh!™ She clapped her hand over her | mouth like a frightened child and ran back te her room, while I went out of Lillian's suite inte. our own | with her werds echoing in my ears Were Edith's machinations so plain that even Mary's youthful careless- ness had noted them?

MORRIS FISHBEIN Edttor Journal of the Amercan Medical Association and of Hy- geln, the Health Magazine Notoriously difficult to judge are | statistics concerning cancer. The crude death rates indicate that cancer s increasjng in fre- quency because more people are dy- ing of cancer than did formerly. The figures show alse. that mere people are living beyond 85 years of age than did formerly, and can- cer is a diseass of advanced ages primarily. The figures also show. that better educated physicians are diagnosing cancer earlier and morn frequently than fermerly. All of these things are reflected !in the records of cancer. Accord- |ing to Vedder it seems reasonable |to conclude that when proper al- |lowance {s made for the increasing | number of people of age of 35 years | or over, and other changes in pepu- |lation, the actual rate for cancer | is not increasing as rapidly as the crude rates would signify. One of the commonest mistaken the notion that it does net occur ‘nmon' savages and primitive peo- impressoins concerning cancer |{s ple. In the first place it does eccur among them. Tt is argued also that Eu occurs much less frequently |among savages and primitive peo- | ple and that cancer is essentixlly a disease of civilized man. | Asain_ it is forgetten that the | average age at death among sav- ages and primitive peoples is what |it used to be ameng Americans, | namely ahout | which cancer begins to be mor- | trequent. 1t is alweys important (1o censider age groups in studying the statistics of any disease. All sorts of cancers occur among lower animals, even wild animals, and if cancer were primarily a dis- case of clvilization it would not be found among such apecies. Finally, diagnosis among savages is not what it is in a medern scientific ‘ physician's office. | | Tumors can be preduced by con. nt irritation in the absence of any known infection. ‘The best available evidence indicates that cancer is not ever infectious in the | usual understanding of what con. | stitutes infectious disease. Wives |do not contract cancer altheugh | sleeping with huebands whe have | it; physicians do not catch cancer | from the patients they attend; |those who are doing research on cancer do not get the disease from working with cancer material. - Fashion Plaque | | | Large. carved wooden beads in a | terspersed with smaller ones and | mest severe and formal court in | carved Toudelles in magenta. green. blue and gray fashion a colorful necklace just imported from Paris. 4 35 vears. the age af | ) That.”” When they go to this Rus- UEENS SNUB PARISIAN ~TO SHOP lN LONDON Shoppera on a royal scale are Queen Elizabeth of Bélgium, left: Dowager Queen Marie of !\un\nl&. eone ter, abave; Queen Ena of Spain, below; and Queen Mary of England, rlzhl. London, June 15.—Paris is the destination of most tourist shop- pers. But London claims the proud distinction of being the faverite shopping town of queéns and prin- cesses. Of course England is “home" to more royalty than any other country in the world. It is only natural that queens and princess- es should like to come home te shop. And it is natural, too, that London shops should know what royalty likes. Call the diminishing roll of Eu- ropean queens. Eliminate ' those who have scant interest in clothes. The rest shop in London. Some Queens Stay Home 8weden's queén is old and il an@ clothes do not interest her greatly. 8hc does little traveling. Denmark's queen sticks pretty close to Copenhagen. Jugeslavia's queen divides her time between Belgrade and Bucharest, where her mother lives. Queen Wilhel- mina, of Helland, is getting along in years and finds all her cloth needs easily satisfied in The Hague or Amsterdam. The Italy of the Fascisti préclaims its independ- ence of the rest of the world and the queen does her shopping in Rome. But Queen Mary of England, her sister-in-law Queen Maud of Norway, and her kinswom Queen Marie of Roumania, al shop in London. 8o dees Queen Ena of Spain, and Queen Elisa- beth of Belgium. The ex-Queen of Greece and Portugal, who has| lived In England a great deal of the tinie.

The keen little old lady who runs this branch has known these royalties since their girl- hood. They call her by her Chris. tian name. She calls them by theirs. The shopping expedition is net & mere business then. It is also a social function. Clethes are, of course, looked at and bought. But there is much gay chatter about mutual acquaintances and good old times and there is the social cup of tea at the end. But befere all this happens, there is a great stir in the place. The princess owner turns the shop upside down. The mirrors are re. arranged. The most comfortabl: chairs and stools are all conveni- ently placed. Knowing their taste in materials and colors, all the latest gowns in those lines are made ready for exhibition. The prettiest manncquins are ordeted te stand by. In additien. usaally some well born society girls come in to act as voluntary mannequins. The silver vases are filled with the favorite flowers of the royal visi- tor. At last the appeinted hour ar- rives. The little princess is at the door. A tall handsome figuré of a woman steps out ef a big car and rushes up.

The other queens, be- ing visiters, go to the shops. In other weords, the favored dréssmak- er takes her wares to Buckingham Palace where the Queen picky and chooses.

PLEASURE IN LEARNING By Alics Judson Peale ‘The Latin over which I struggied and rebelled and struggled again for five mortal years has been washed as clean frém my mind as if my brain fever had béen con- taminated with a single Latin exer. cise.
