Love’s Reawakening The Story of a Wife’s _'l‘rinmph Over Jealousy By ADELE e ~Lilllan Shares Madge's Uneasfness Brought About by the Presence | of Oharles Owen as a Party| Guest | 1 must not let Helena Brixton see the panic I had experienced when Isaw Charles Owen among the| guests at Mary's party. That was the thought which steadied me as she followed my eyes to the door | through whicn her husband’s half brother had just gone with = Dicky and the college students “Didn’t ~Charlie come over to ~speak to you?" she asked concern- edly. “He usually is so punctilious. “I fancy Mr. Graham hurried him | over into the other apartment,” I | said, forcing a smile. “It is almost the, dinner hour we named, and my husband, like most men, is getting uneasy “Aren’t they all alike?" She laughed comfortably, and Lillian, | who, I knew, shared my unéasiness | concerning Charles Owen, put a| quick imperative query What Prompted Owen? “You didn't expect vour brother- in-law to be here did you Helena?" ~ Mrs. Brixton widened her eyes ~apprehensively. No, I didn't,” she answered. _.“That is, he didn’t say positively he couldn’t be back, but he was pretty sure. Does it make any difference in your plans? I wouldnt have brought him if I had- “Don't talk nonsense!" Lillian adjured her affectionately. “Madge | “fs too experienced a hostess not to | have provided an extra place. Be- sides, we expected him, anyway. | Don’t you remember, you said he might be here? That was enough for Madge.” As 1 smilingly confirmed Lillian's ‘dictum, T thanked my particular | \Iittle joss that Philip Veritzen was| the type of host who provided for | cmergencies, and that he had one | or two more theater tickets in re- | serve if our plans should be was bothering me. That was an easy thing. But T could not rid my mind of the dis- trust—amounting, to¥ fear—which I feit every time I saw or heard of the spectacular adventurer who was | Samuel Brixton's half brother. I knew, too, ‘that the Information given us by Prince Georges as to Owen's connection under a Treek name with the secret society which | had tried to assassihate him, was not the real root of my fear of the| man. It T bad had.no other cause to | distrust him, I think I should have| shrugged. my shoulders with the | philosophical reflection that no one | could understand foreign intrigues| and conspiracles anyway—or deter- mine the right of them. But I had reason to fear—or so I imagined — that this man and his half brother | Samuel Brixton, former friend and | business associate of Marion's, dead father—were concocting some un-| savory financial scheme hehind the | ostensible offer of reparation which they had made upon their first vis- | | Lillian's knowing anything GARRISON it to the farm, and which Lillian and I had declined to have Marion consider until she should become of age. I had been more worried than 1 had let Lilllan see over my dis- covery that Mr. Owen had escorted his niece, Carolyn, and Marion down from their school without about it my dis- ad- did beforehand and by covery that Marion apparently mired the man as much as Carolyi. I hed warned Marion against him, and she apparently had accepted | the warning. But I know schoolgirl psychology —or ought to with my long experience in teaching—and I was not so sure that when her emo- tional remorse at having deccived her mother about the trip to town should have evaporated, she would discount my warning as due to prejudice and accept Carolyn's val- uation of her beloved ‘“uncle” in- a. That Owen in reality, was no more Carolyn's uncle than he was Marion's made no difference in the hero worship which was patently Carolyn's for the man. Of course I realized that hers was a natural feeling and one not to be combated, because of the fact that her step- father, Samuel Brixton Owen’s halt brother, had been a real and won- derful father to her and to Ronald ever since her mother's marriage to him when she was a baby. To Caro- lyn her “dad” and her “‘uncle” were as real as to any girl possessing blood relatives bearing those titles, and even if T wished to do so, I could not destroy her faith in them. Madge Is Worried There was nothing to do, how- ever, but to acecept the situation, and keep my eyes as far open as T could. But I could not forbear one fear-prompted question, although I couched it in terms which I was sure would not disterb Helena Brix- ton “I trust this change of plans means that we shall be able to see something of Mr. Owen during the Christmas holidays in the country,” T said with an interrogative inflec- tion. Her answer was prompt smothered my fears for#the and time | being. “Oh. no, he’s going to join Sam tomorrow. T believé Sam expeeted him yesterday, but Charles had to stay over to attend to some im- portant business of his own.” I was glad that the door opened just then, and the room was sud- denly full of men, young and old, with Harry Underwood shegherding the masculine guests. It gave me something else to think about than the futile but troublesome and un- answerable query as to the “busi- ness” which could call family loving Samuel Brixton away from his hom= at Christmas time.

HOWSS yaur HEALTH . .o thé New Yokt Acadeiny of Medicine v Bludby { Dr. lago Galdrion Diabetes In Greek mythology, there is a story of Tantalus, who, by a curse ot the gods, was surrounded with delicious foods none of which he could grasp, no matter how stren- uous his efforts. A like curse seems to be inflicted on the diabetic sufferer, for the disease in its severer forms makes it impossible for the victin's body | fully to make use of the foods he eats. Literally he starves, even while taking plenty. « Diabetes 1s an ancient disease. Celsus and Galen, both physicians in antiquity, described it. Galen thought it was due to weakness of the Kidneys, and this impression was current until the 16th century. Later, the French ' physician, Claude Bernard, demonstrated the roles of the liver and the pancreas (sweetbread) . in the utilization of sugars. In 1889 a scientist named Min- kowskl definitely established the relation of the pancreas to dia- betes. He removed the pancreas on experimental animals and diabetes immediately resulted. Still later, it was shown that cer- tain microscopic cells in the pan- creas“were affected in the disease: and still raore recently it was dem- onstrated that pancreas secreted a substance named Insulin—that this substance was required for the nor- mal functioning of the body. With the discovery of Insulin and its isolation from the pancreas of animals, medicine secured .an in- |strument for the combating. of a | disease which heretofore had al- | most invariably proved fatal. Contrary to expectations, how- |ever, there has been no such marked drop in deaths due to di- ‘;\helr‘! as was expected when the | discovery was announced. Menus | ! | By MRS, AL !

Sept. 22.—~Twenty years or so ago this month, a chub- by lit¥e girl with fair curls and big blue eyes got put to bed one evening without agy supper because she had broken open her china pig bank and extracted money to ride on the forbidden ferris wheel at the street fair in her home town, Clin- ton, Mo. Today that little girl grown up could ride for mnothing all day fong on any number of contriv- ances built te amuse folks, if, she wanted. For she is Mrs. Beulah Hassard Sica, pre¥ident of the Mid-City Amusgnent Park, th2 only woman in the United States, so far as is known, to own and actively run a big, first class amusement park. I found her on her knees in the 200, personally administering med- icine to a sick monkey who had eaten too many peanuts. At her trim cream and green bungalow, built af the back of the 16 acres of park and decorated in tha park’s colors, she had a baby fawn which required its Bottle, 6f warm- ed Grade A milk every four hours. A dance marathon was holding forth in her dance hall. A swim- ming . carnival, completed last month, was the talk of this pait of the state. Four hundred moth- ers and children were having a pienic in the garden where a peaceful little brook gurgles undey a bridge. A men's organization was scheduled to have a clam bake that = evening over in the grove, Housckeeping on Big Scale Commotion, crowds, dozens decisions to be made. It was in a day's work to Mrs. Sica! “I have often wondered why more women haven't gone into the business . of running amuse- ment parks,” she calmly stated. “It is just a gigantic piece of hougekeeping and women are sup- posed to come by that ability naturally, aren’t they? Providing amusement, also, is eminently fitted to women, I have decided. You see men and women who come here in an amusement-mood jare just children wanting to have a good time. It seems to me that women should have an instinct for knowing what will amuse.” Mrs. Sica inherited her park from her husband. She had never given it or any other kind of busi- ness a thought until his sudden death just before the 1925 season started. She knew nothing what- soever about the business, for her husband was an oil magnate, run- ning the park as his avocation. That first year would have dis- couraged any woman made of less | determination than Mrs. Sica. |Some concessionaires quit, réfus- ing to work under a woman. Other unpleasantnesses happened. But she gritted her teeth and kept on, rynning the park as it was, with ‘no new additions! By mid- |summer she was checking patron- age off every ride, chute, slide and s0 on. By fall she knew just what was making money and what she should replace with new attrac- tions. “The hardest lesson I learned that summer was that a woman in any Kkind of business has to ibe hard, has to be forceful, but she has .got to go the trouble of cov- ering it up with feminine wiles and smiles so that she doesn't seem s80. Moreover, I learned that a woman can't lose her temper the way a man is entitled to. Folks call it ‘nerves'!” In the last four summers, Mre. Sica has practically made over the park, has had it all painted and each year has added one or two new attractions, such as her min- iature golf course this season ani a huge open air swimming pool which 45,000 people have used on several hot Sundays. For ‘thes beach surrfunding this she hal three barges of sand hauled up t. Hudson from Far Rockaway, reg- ulation, clean, white sea sand Amusements Are Varied Today her park boasts one of every Kkind of amusement that such places as Coney Island ha from roller coaster to diving horsc act. A midget in clown costume runs the scales, to the delight of the cMildren. A zoo, most of which animals were given Mrs. Sica by ex-Governor Smith, is oge of the chief attraftions, and is free, as is entrance "to her park. All the attendants are in trim, gattractive uniforms. Pamilies are ‘encourag- ed to come picnic, not having to spend a cent if they don't want to. There is a social significance o this woman-run park. At -the last convention of amusement park owners, Mrs. Sica was invited as one of the principal speakers to glve her view of “Female Manage- |ment of Amusement Parks." “The only reason I think women | mbght not, by and I#rge, We suc- },ce:s(ul in the business is the gre: of all gamble it is, she said. “Instead of gambling in small stakes, have t5 gamble with the which 1s 100 per cent chance. I think women are less adventurc- sorme than men. But for women who have imagination and like gambling, I advise this as the fin- cst Jorm of business. Certainly it is full-time, year-round job, t perfect business for a woman who likes to work hard and see things 5o." - we weather, Talks Pgg, _Parents COURAGE FOR LIFE By Alice Judson Peale The happlest person I know is a woman who owes her happiness en- tirely,to her own efforts At the age of 16 she began earn ing her own living.

Happiness is not necessarily the gift of good fortune. Far more often it is the reward of courage and self-discipline. ‘We who wish, above all things, to make our children happy can real- ly do very little directly to give them happiness.
