Constance was never particularly attracted to pots and pans and a kitchen stove, but anything looked better than a piano, so she called herself Mary Thorne and went to work. AB soon as she disappeared an in- tensive search for her began. Her father and brother have health in- stitutes, one in 42d Street, Manhat- tan, the other in Pelham. Her mother was prostrated by her de- parture. For days they couldn't tind trace of her. In an unguarded moment Constance wrote to a relative, and from the post mark it was seen she was near Stam- ford. She decided to go to Stamford yes- terday and thank Jimmie for what he had done for her, Neither she nor Jimmie knew that detectives were searching for her. Just as Jimmie looked up at her greeting Detective Hefferman of Stamford caught her. “Oh, Jimmie, save me,” she cried. “Save me from them! Don’t let them take me away! Are you going to let them take me? Please save me, Jimmie!" Jimmie ts chivalrous, but he knows a detective when he sees one, In- stead of rescuing her he finished pol- ishing the shoes on which he was working. Pretty soon along same Dr. Fred- erick Hulsman, a brother, and Mrs. Mabel Cook, an aunt, who took the young runaway to the leading Stam- ford hotel. “The child is all right and none the worse for her little adventure as | ‘Mary Thorne,’ " Mrs. Cook explained. “We are going to take her home, where she will be welcomed with open arms, and if she does not want to take! piano lessons, she will not need to.” Dr. be glud enough to let her have her own way and confine herself to voice culture if that's what she wants: to do “And we all appreciate the kind- ness of that Italian boy Jimmy to- ward my sister,’ the doctor added. After it was all over and Jimmie learned he had befriended an heiress, he sald he “Had done only his duty” and needed no thanks, No gentleman, explained, would expect thanks r the circumstances.

He wants two or three—even four pieces, and he thinks mother is “mean” “stingy” when she says “no”. Youknowin your own heart you would be only too glad to give him the whole pie. But it wouldn’t be good for him. A certain amount of sweet food—yes! But it must be properly chosen and given in suitable amounts. This applies especially to confectionery. C Children crave sweets. Their growing bodies need the carbohydrates, the fats, and the proteins of good confectionery. But mothers must make sure that chil- dren get not only the right amount of sweets but the right kind of sweets. That is why so many mothers are no longer giving the children a penny or a rs es a dime and letting them run to the store and pick out what “looks bigand pretty.” They now buy Borden’s Almond Barsand Borden’s Milk Chocolate by the box. Twenty-four wholesome, fresh and de- licious, individually-wrapped bars or cakes of pure nourishing chocolate. Its food value is recognized. It satisfies the craving for sweets. And the grown-ups like it as well as the kiddies. When you keep it in the house—by the box—you can make sure that all the children get not only pure, wholesome sweets, but get the proper amount. And it is much cheaper to buy Bordens’s by the box. Just tell your grocer or food purveyor—druggist or confectioner—to send you a box of Borden’s Milk Choc- olate Cakes or Almond Bars packed 24 pieces to the box.
