They were not very much different then (he Jones and the Smiths who live in your very own neighborhood. Mrs. Darling was a lovely lady, w.th a romantic mind and a sweet mouth. Dots of little girls and boys have mothers who have a sweet mouth but I dare say that only a few have mothers with such a romantic mind as Mrs. Darling. The way she be came Mrs. Darling was really very thrilling, because the many gentle men who had been boys when she was only a g.rl discovered simul taneously that they loved her dearly. It was Indeed a race to win her hand, and all the boys ran to her home to ask her hand In marriage, except Mr. Darling who took a cab and beat all of them and thus won her as his i prize. Mr. Darling often boasted that she not only loved him dearly, but re spected him. He was one of those deep ones who know about stocks and shares and things And of course men who know when stocks go up or down are really very won derful and it Is Uttle wonder that Mrs. Darling did respect him. Mrs. Darling was always too shy and modest to speak of her thrilling romance, yet she spent many won derful hours reviewing the happy spectacle of her courtship. She was married In white and even today. If you were a little girl and could peek into the innermost recesses of her wardrobe, you would f.nd her wed ding gown there Just as she had worn it on that eventful day. She used to keep books for Mr. Darling In order to keep- the household expenses within their Income, which I am told was not very large. At first she did it very well but as time wore on, like many other housewives she would forget to put in yesterday's butter and in a little while, after studying the figures for several min utes, they seemed to fade away and In their places were pictures of little babies. Little Wendy came first, then John, then Michael. There was grave fears, after-Wen dy came, whether they could keep her for she was another mouth to feed. Of course Mr. Darling was I frightfully proud of her and often sat on Mrs. Darling's bed and tried to figure out a way whereby Wen dy could be taken care of. After a while it was decided that by skimp ing they could provide for her. How ever. this would necessitate Mr. Darling going w.thout hla evening cigar and Mrs. Darling would have j to do without her weekly pound op 1 candy. It was really a terrible saY rifice but Wendy was such a swdet little thing that they often remained afterward that they were glad/hey bad kept her. Iiut Wendy Jmd a narrow escape for only the ndxt day Mr. Darling went over the/figures again and found that he haYneglect ed to allow any thing for t/i- mumps or the measles or the / whooping cough. Of course it was too late then to change their muwls for Wen dy had already unpacked her little tiunk and had won a place In her mother's heart. Rut when John came the excite ment w is the same and Michael had the narrowest squeak of all. How ever after each one came it simply meant a readjustment of figures and a shifting of clothing from one to the other until at last you might have seen all of them going in a row to Miss FUlsom'a kindergarten school, accompanied by their nurse. As we have said before, the Dar lings were very proper people and they were wont to keep up with the neighbors so. although they were poor because the children drank up so much milk, they had a nurse. Her name was Nana and had belonged to no one in particular when the Dar lings found her. Sc was really not a lady as you no doubt suppose but a huge Newfoundland dog. The fact that sin was not a lady need not dls <iual,fy her in your minds as a good nurse for she was really very won derful. She watched over the chil dren every night and when the slight est sign of movement *w as noted she was immediately at bedside of her charges, lypdy to protect and minister to them. Then at school sire would steal away to the far cor*i tier of the nurse maid's corner and| lie down because she disliked the small talk of the other nurse maids, bhe alwav.t d.silked visits to the nur sery by Mrs. Darling's friends and always made haste to tidy up ths children with a lick of her long) tongue to hold a stray lock of John * hair and to remove a tear stain from! Wendy's chee^. _ _I Mrs. Darling had always been a happy, contented woman. When Mr. Darling on mo Into her Ilfn she was supremely happy. Then evhen Wendy and Jeihn and Michael and Nana came, her world uf clrr.ima com pletc. There never " is a slmpher. happier family until the coining of Peter Pan. Mrs. Darling first heard of* Peter pan when tidying up the children's minds’ You sec It is the duly of •Very good mother to rummage through tin If children's minds aft'r they arc nstei p and put things sti.Unlit foe the m xt morning Often you will sre them sorting out the good things nnd •putting them on the top of the plh' .uni then sorting the had thine and put them on the my liottom, mtn It It h c I hey soi t clothing 1 in a tail can drawer. If you could keep tuVakc (and of course you call'll you would see your own mother doing this very thing and you would And it very Interesting to watch her. You would see her on her knees, lin gering humorously over some of your contents, wondering where on earth you had picked this up. meklng die eoveries sweet and some not so sweet, pressing this to her cheek and hur tiedly •-•-‘ling that out of sight tJn til when finally you awoke in the morning, all the naughtiness and evU thoughts you had with you when you went to bed were folded up etnall and placed at the very bottom of your mind: and there- on top, beauti fully ironed out and air- d at e spread out for you, the day's thoughts, ready for you to put on. J If you have ever sc-cn a map offl. child's mind or if you ever have tr.cd to draw one you will understand how confusing it is to keep going nround all the time. There are zig zag lines on It like the card with your temperature on it when the doc tor comes, and these are probably roads into the Island; for the Never land is always more or less of an island, with astonishing splashes of color here and there, with coral reefs and rakish looking craft in the off ing. and savages and lairs and gnomes, who are mostly tailors, and caves through which a river runs, and princes with six elder hrothirs. and a hut fast going to decay and a lady with a crooked nose. And be sides all this there's first day at school, religion, fathers, the round pond, needlework, murders, hang ings and chocolate pudding day and scores of other things. Of ^oursc the Neverland in every g.rl or boy's mind is different and this was true of Wendy and JohiU and Michael. One had Indians galojW and no lagoons, while the other 1 many lagoons and a scarcity oMrcd skins and so on Dut altogethj#each child's Neverland is made indFTf the things he chooses to put ^^~it and that Is the reason ihci^liffer so greatly. Occasionally in her^gavois through the children a mlnJr Mrs. Darling found things she^^>uld not under stand and of all^Rese the m->st per plexing one u.-i^he word Peter. She knew of no PiyFr. yet hereTLnd there in John’s nnXxtichael s Viinds. while in Wendyb^nind It seemed to be scrawled .tM over. At firX Mrs Darling couldnot make ojn &-hat the word Pftc^^t&llt but gjvdually it began to CU^Kupon her Jnat back in her chlwhi^l sin hadfhrard of a Peter Pan mto live with fairies. There ^p-i UlKiny odd stories about him, she^k Numbered, but although she had I® drived in him at the time, now th^ she was quite d< such a«_ denied wfcb H sisteJ th*Clj just her size, she knew it." b way. After a great —... gaiding Peter Pan an children regarded bfm, M; decide-J to consult Mr.-Da lie only smiled like- most and said it Was some silly thing that Nana had put Into their minds and that it would blow over In a day or two. But it would not blow over and the events that followed gavel Mrs. Darling quite a shock indeed. CHAPTER H f n was In a casual way that Wendy discovered that leaves from a tree had been found on tho nursery floor one morning that had not been there when the children had gone to bed • I do believe It Is that I’cter Pun again." fold Wendy "Whatever do you mean. Wendy?" "It's so naughty of him not to wipe." Wendy said, sighing She ««i such a tidy child. Mrs. Pmtllng thought It was non sense of course, but Wendy stoutly Insisted that Peter I'an hid none In at the window, although fho had b- ■ n told that no one could g't Into,tin 'house without knocking and that tin window was three stories up. Wendy also called hi r mother's attention to the fact that the leaves, were found near the window. Mrs. Palling did n>d kno* wh.lt to make of this, for It seemed so natur al to Wendy that you rovild not ills miss It by saying that she had been dreaming. but on the other hand, there wen tho leaves, and after examining them carefully. Mrs Darling was euro that they did not come from any tree that grew in Pngland. She crawled about tho floor, peering at It with a candle for marks of a strange foot bln ratthd the poker up the chimney nnd tapped thy wulls hliy let down i tape from the window to the pave mint and found It to he a drop of 30 feet. hurely Wendy had been dreaming Hut Wendy was not dreaming, as w i shall presently find out Perhaps Mr Darling was to blame At any inti It was through it rather hannless. vet endvarrasslng Joke of log that finally led to dlsastei On. nght not long after Mi Purling a startling adventure regarding Jin Paves till children had been notified that they wire to line up for their medicine John, however, objectol HI, t|,r ground that hi* fath' i m ill" mil like thi medii tne Mi Darling quieted h in I" saying that if In took lus medicine Mist tli it hi’ would follow Rut after John had taken hi* medicine, Mr Darling decided thai li would t# a good J«kc on Nan* to pour the mcdlclnt Into her bowl a lead her to beleve ,t was milk Nana was called and like any other good dog, her delicate sense of smsll told her that tht stuff In ihs bowl was not milk but medicine, and she dc chned to partaks. This made Mr Darling dreadfully mad and It Irritated him to think that he was not master of h a own household, and in a moment of fur> ordertd Nans to l>c taken out Into the lot and chained up. And al though the chlldrrn pleaded for Nana it was all In vain. Thu act. as you will see. took the children's nurse maid away at a time when she was norrly needed.
