BURGESS THE THREE WATCHERS CHEN faddy the Heaver alupped the water with ht9 broad tail, making a noise like a pistol shot, Llghtfoot the Deer understood that this was meant ns a warning of dan cer. He was on bis feet Instantly with eyes, ears and nose seeking the cause of faddy's warning. After a moment or two Llghtfoot stole aoftly up to the top of a little ridge •ome distance hack from faddy’s Paddy Watched the Hunter. pond, but from the top of which he could see the whole of the pond. There he hid among some close growing young hemlock trees. It wasn't long before he saw a hunter with a terrible gun come down to the shore of the pond. Now the hunter had heard I’addy slap the water with his broud tall. Of course, there would have been something very wrong with his ears had he failed to hear It. "Confound that beaver," muttered the hunter crossly. “If there was a deer any where around this pond he probably is on Ills way now. I'll have a look around and see If there are any signs." So the hunter kept on to the edge of Paddy’s pond and then hegnn to walk around It, studying the ground as he walked. Presently lie found the footprints of Llghtfoot In the mud where Llghtfoot had gone down to the pond to drink. “1 thought as much.” muttered the hunter. "Those tracks were made last night. That deer prob ably was lying down somewhere near here, and I might have got a shot but for that pesky beaver. I’ll Just look the land over and then I think I’ll wait here a while. If that deer Isn't too badly scared he may come back." So the hunter went all around the pond, looking Into all likely hid ing places. He found where Llght foot had been lying, and he knew that In all probability Llghtfoot had been there when Paddy gave the danger signal. “It's no use for me to try to follow him," thought the hunter. “It Is too dry for me to track him. He may not be so badly ■cured after all. I'll just find a good place and wait.” So the hunter found an old log behind some small hemlock trees nud there sat down. He could see all around I’addy's pond. He sat perfectly still. He was a clever hunter, and he knew that so long as he did not move he was not like ly to he noticed by any sharp eyes that might come that way. What he didn’t know was that Llghtfoot hud been watching him all the time, and was even then stnndlng where he could see him. And another thing he didn't know was that Caddy the Heaver had come out of his house and, swimming under water, had reached a hiding place on the op posite shore, from which he too had seen the hunter sit down on the log. So the hunter watched for Light foot and Llghtfoot and Caddy watched the hunter. ©T. W. UurSMl —WNU Scrvlo*.

Through JEAN NEWTON A WOMAN S EYES ONE PATH TO CHARM THAT IS EASY TO ACHIEVE I HAVE neen rending an article about how dancing Improves pos ture and carriage. It Is tyl vised that we start In early childhood the training that brings about good posture and a graceful carriage. We are told of the rhythms which many schools are now teaching in the klndergar ten, how proper breathing helps the importance of good physical condition and always that para mount matter of example—letting the children see good posture and graceful walking so that they will imitate it. As I read this it came to me that not enough lias been said about the carriage of our women. We hear a good deal about our bad voices, how unfavorably they com pare with the voices of women of other countries, how important is a good speaking voice in a woman. But of a woman's walk, which is no less important titan iter voice in the Impression she creates, in any hope she may cherish for that eltt slve quality of charm — it seems that far too little notice Is taken, or expressed. If we observe the walk of the average woman front the viewpoint of grace and charm, we must be struck witli horror; so few women except those who are In some way athletic walk in a way which is satisfying to the eye. So few women have that stride from the hip that means freedom and poise in walking; so few have animation in their walk, so few, so very few. have rhythm. No woman can have poise with a mincing little hop of a walk. No woman can nave charm who wad dies from side to side, no woman can have beauty who seems to he dragging one foot after another. And this Is one thing, this mat ter of a woman's walk, which any one can learn without a teacher which has no mysterious technique and requires absolutely no expense Any woman can walk well by Jusi thinking about it! Some of the paths toward charm are straight and narrow and dlftl cult of attainment. But there is one path to charm which Is access! hie to all of us who have normal physical build. The attainment of good carriage, of a graceful walk. Is comparatively easy—and cheap. You need only think, when you are standing or walking, of how you are standing or walking, think about It until the carriage Improved by your own sensitiveness has be come natural!

THINGS THAT ARE NEW WE ALWAYS enjoy hearing or reading of something new In the art of entertaining, especially if It la food. Everybody likes to eat, and the better the food Is the better we like It. The following are a few good suggestions which may be used when preparing a menu: Jiffy Frosting. Take one cupful of sugar, three tablespoonfuls of water, one table spoonful of dark corn sirup, one egg white unbeaten and one tea spoonful of flavoring. Place all the ingredients In a double boiler over rapidly boiling water. Beat for eight minutes, then add the flavor ing. Remove and beat more, then spread on the cake. Chocolate Mint Coupe. Serve rich chocolate Ice cream, peppermint ice cream, whipped cream and a sprig of mint or cherry for garnishment. Curried Eggs Cook six eggs until firm and the yolk mealy. The method has been given so many times, yet here It Is again: For every egg provide one pint of boiling water, drop In the eggs—they should he of the room temperature, If not add a larger proportion of water—cover closely and keep on the back of the range for thirty minutes, when the eggs will be well cooked but tender. Mix three tablespoonfuls of salad oil, the same of flour, one teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of curry powder, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of paprika and when well blended add two cupfuls of milk and cook nil together In a double boiler for twenty minutes. Cook and serve the eggs, cut Into halves, with the sauce poured over it. Serve on toast. © Western Newspaper Union.

CELIA BLOWN slipped into the seat at the small table she in variably chose at the Daffodil. As usual she waited a few moments be fore raising her eyes to the cor ner near the window where she would find the young man. Celia always thought of him as "the young man" because she did not know nis name and he was ob viously very young—oh, much younger than she. Celia was forty. She had never had a romance in her life nor held a baby In her arms. She had long been a columnist on a metropol itan dally and now and then wrote little human stories with strong heart interest what appeared in a corner of her paper. She also con tributed articles regularly for the woman’s page on tiie care and feed ing of infants. She lived alone In a tiny bed room, bath and kitchenette apart ment away up town and left the office every day at the same hour to come to the attractive lunchroom^ she had discovered tucked away Iff a side street. # It was here that Celia had first seen the young man. He was about six and twenty she thought, broad shouldered, blond and blue-eyed. He had attracted her attention from the day she beheld him seated at the table in the corner consuming sandwiches and drinking large cups of coffee. His eyes were particu larly noticeable since they rarely left her face while she occupied her self busily with her modest meal. After the third day of his rather glamorous presence at the same table Celia had found herself look ing at him. Apparently he had con tracted a similar habit. “The ren dezvous,” was what she secretly called it. Today, on meeting those steady blue eyes, Celia was conscious of an unfamiliar fluttering In the re gion of her heart, color rushed to her cheeks, something quivered In her throat. Was he admiring her, she won dered? Was he falling for her, too? In the spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love— but they are nothing compared to the verdant hopes that may sud denly, with very little encourage ment, blossom In the heart of a maiden of forty. Wild fancies flitted through the newspaper woman’s active brain ns she sat there nervously turning over a bit of omelet. Never before had a man looked at her like this. Sup pose he should speak to her—to her, Celia Brown, a respectable spin ster, with a record at the office for never failing austerity and un bending dignity. Perhaps she was about to enter into a beautiful romance—at lust! Timidly she raised her eyes and met those of the handsome young man. His gaze encountered hers across the empty dishes and he smiled boy ishly. When site saw the smile Celia rose and fled. Her heart was beat ing tumultuously. She was very pale as she paid her cheek at the desk and hurried from the demoral izing atmosphere of the “Daffodil." Of course now he would speak to her. That would be the next step in her wonderful adventure. That Is, If she ever went back. Would she dare go back? That was an un answered question. All afternoon she banged the type writer and tried to quell the thrill ing warmth that pervaded her soul. He was so handsome, so virile and so intelligent looking! On Saturday, after she had checked up on the sad, tear-com pelllng feature stories she had writ ten for Mother’s day. this coming Sunday, she left the office early and went home. Celia was glad of tomorrow’s respite from work, for she never went to the lunchroom on Sunday. It was devoted to vis iting her friends and relatives, usu ally lunching up In Westchester with a prosperous aunt She would have time in the Inter val to plan a course of action to meet or repel any further advances of the handsome stranger. Hut awakening on Sunday at the late hour of a holiday morning she found her problem awaiting her. A smart ring at the bell of the tiny apartment brought her out of bed to open the door to a diminu tive messenger boy, his freckled face hidden behind a huge uncovered basket of dewy daffodils tied with a gauzy yellow ribbon. “For me?” asked Celia Incredu lously, and shut the door quickly as she took the gift, but not before the sharp eyes of the child had ob served her confused look of pleas ure and consternation. There was a note attached to a tall stem. She tore it open with cold trembling fingers and gazed at the firm script “Dear Lady of the DafTodll: “Will you graciously accept this offering from one whose mother you so greatly resemble that it has been a joy just to sit and look at you? My beloved mother is gone but In her memory It comforts me to send these flowers to you who might be my own mother returned to life. “HER SON.” PALACE HOUSES THOUSANDS Some 3,000 of the 32,000 people of Split, one of the seaports of Yugo slavia, live within the walls of the Diocletian palace, which covers near ly nine ncres and Is one of the larg est private residences ever built Travelers who visit Split spend most of their time outdoors, so they can enjoy the brilliant sunshine.
