To this Danny agreed, for he
really did not feel equal to going
any farther that night. So he and
Whitefoot slept a little and talked
a great deal. Danny learned many
things about the Green Forest and
in turn told Whitefoot many things
about the Green Meadows. W’hlte

est was the finest place In all the
Great World in which to live. Dan
ny was sure that It didn’t compare
with the Green Meadows, and they
argued the matter over and over.
But the argument was quite good
natured and simply showed that the
things one Is used to are the
things one loves best To Danny
the Green Forest was filled with
terrible dangers. To Whitefoot
the Green Meadows seemed a place
where there could be no such thing
as real safety. So they argued and

THROUGH A
W>mans Eyes
By JEAN NEWTON
A LESSON FROM 1 HE ZOO
» 13 HEEDING, self-control? Those
are just terms for artificial
ity and hyprocrisy," suid a militant
member of our would-be "free"
younger generation.
Why should we pretend things
we don't feel—why restrain impa
tience or irritation, why try to
gloss over situafions to uvold any
feeling of friction? If certain re
actions or sentiments are natural
and sincere, why not show them?
"With everybody honestly show
ing what they feel there is much
more chance of the causes of dis
agreement and Irritation being re
moved in a natural way, and the
harmony which results then would
be a true harmony, not an affected
one.”
Why?
1 wish 1 could take our young
friend one day to the zoo where
something in the weather or some
thing else which could not be helped
had adversely affected the disposi
tions of the residents there. For
that is one place where there is no
“affectation,” no "artificiality”—
and no breeding, which in other
words is consideration for others.
Of course our friend would uot
stay there long enough to make
much of a study of the matter—no
longer, probably, than necessary to
get away. But the din ot very In
hurmonious noises would be sutti
cient to illustrate the answer to her
question as to why it is not feasible
for humans always to Indulge their
Impulses, to do In the presence ot
others what they really want to do,
to express without restraint our
like and dislike impression. To
carry that to its logical conclusion,
saying things would be followed
perhaps by throwing things; In any
event the result would be not un
like the result In a zoo. of condi
tions adversely affecting the genial
Ity of the inmates.

ONE SUMMER
NIGHT
By ANNE CAMPBELL
SITTING beside you on the cool
gray stone.
I saw through your dear eyes the
summer night.
The trees were shadowy, their dark
leaves blown
By perfumed breezes ... In the
misty light
Of the far moon, I caught the pure
white gleam
Of your loved profile. . . . With
your quiet gaze
Turned on the stars, lost in a hap
py dream.
You wandered far from earth’s
perplexing ways.
I saw the world beyond you . , .
reaching space.
The silhouette of trees against
the sky . . .
And knew that nothing counted but
your face.
You were my world. . . . The
moon that rode so high.
The stars, as lost as I in mists of
blue,
Were nothing. There was only
love and you.
