^ “My Husband s Love” ^
Lillian Dropped a Disquieting Hint
to Madge.
Harriet Braithwaite stared at her
liusband an if she could not believe
the evidence of her own ears. Then,
with a little choked cry of, "Oh, you,
too. Edwin!" she turned and hurried
i ut of the room, and a few seconds
later the emphatic closing of her own
door told us that she hud shut herself
in her room.
7 think the rest of us were ns as
tonished as she at Dr. Braithwaite's
suddenly revealed lack of enthusiasm
for his wife's project of adopting the
orphaned children of her dead sistet.
We had so taken for granted that the
childless man, whose longing for chil
dren we all iiad known, would jump
at this seemingly heaven-sent oppor
tunity that his'reluctance where we
had expected eagerness left us gasp
ing.
-Mother Graham was the first to
speak after her daughter hud rushed
out of the room. But noticed that
her voice when she addressed her
son-in-law was not so assured as it
had been. Evidently his unexpected
attitude was a blow to her plans
whl§h left her at a bit of a loss.
< 'haracteristlcail.v, however, she gave
no hint of her feeling in her words.
“I'm glad you have some sense,
Edwin." she said, glancing doubt
iully at him, however. "And you'll
be able to bring Harriet lo hers, pure
ly you see that the only logical place
for those children is here with me.”
Her face contradicted her words
and asked mutely for a negative re
ply. But the big surgeon's assent
»as quick and emphatic.
Dr. Itraitliwuite Agrees.
"Why, of course, mother!” he said
heartily. "I confess I hadn’t thought
of it before, but now that you’ve
shown us your wishes so clearly,
there's nothing else to be thought of.
You'll have to leave Harriet to me,
though. 1 imagine she'll be a little
difficult at first, for she has quite
set Imr heart on having the children.
But I can bring her round to your
way of thinking, I a.m sure.”
It takes a woman to be a successful
liar. At least very few men succeed
in decetvlng any but the morons of
the feminine sex. Dicky's face still
mirrored his astonishment at his
brother-in-law's unexpected attitude,
hut as Dr. Braithwaite talked. I saw
his rnother-ln-llaw start and look at
him shrewdly and 7 saw In Lillian's
amused eyes the reflection of the con
viction which had Just come to me
that the big surgeon not only had
fathomed his mother-in-law's ruse,
but meant to abet her scheme In
every possible way.
I wondered, ns I looked at my
brother-in-law's face, which never had
lost a certain hint of boyishness, and
st his eyes, in which the Indefinable
wistful, searching look had changed
to Joyful eagerness. If he was not
glad of the opportunity his mother
in-law had given him to make certain
vis chance of keeping the children so
Cast of Methodist Play
"Gottilng Acquainted" proved n 15-year long process to John, the cautious
hero of tlie playlet by that name given at the First Methodist church Thurs
day-evening; and it ended in the discovery that lie really knew very little
about the two ladles in the case. The result was this amusing scene in
I which John was finally cornered by the strong minded sister of the pair and
forced into a decision, although it cost him. some very unpleasant moments
liefore he learned what his decision was.
The entire east of the play is shown in this picture. I.cft to right, they
are Miss Ann Bollinger as "Jane." the decisive factor in the sit(i#t|pn: Ctrl
Wilson as "John," and the soothing "Priscilla," who finally wins the prize.
j tragically thrown in his way. He
knew his wife better than anyone
else, knew that opposition would
make her so determined to take tlie
children that she never in the years
to come, when she should have time
to regret the step, would she yield
to the regretting for very shame at
the remembrance "f her obstinacy.
Killian's Point of View.
Killian turned an interesting side
light upon tiie whole proposition at
lour first moment alone together.
“Depend upon it, that man knows
what she's doing,'' she said, “if he
doesn't get his wife to believeing
that he and everybody else are against
her in this proposition he'll have his
own troubles in the years to come."
“Vou mean that shell get tired of
taking care of them?"
Killian looked at me a bit impa
tiently.
“Vou usually aren't so obtuse," she
said. "No, 1 don't mean that at all.
I’m free to confers I don’t like your
sister-in-law, as you very well know,
but I hope I’m just enough to give
her her due. and whatever other
faults she may have, laziness Is not
one of them. Neither is a shirking
of responsibility. No. I honestly be
lieve she'd make a wonderful mother
for those children, ami enjoy the ex
perience if it wasn't for one thing."
She paused tantalizing, but, a trifle
piqued, I did not ask her meaning,
and after a second s amused scrutiny
of my face, she laughed lightly.
“Second thought^ are best, they
say," she chanted, “so I think, on
the whole, I won't tell you my mean
ing just now, but let you find it out
for yourself. I'll give you this much
of a hint, however. You can read
It in Harriet Braithwalte's face, if
you happen to catch her off guard
when she and her husband are with
the Harrison children.”

Who Has a Beautiful Foot?
N’ATURE made the human foot a thing of
beauty. Improper shoes have distorted
■'he'foot bones, cramped the foot muscles and a
beautiful foot is seen more often in statuary
than in life today.
Your feet to be healthy and supple must have
the proper shoes—shoes that will allow natural
foot action. The flexible arch of a Cantilever ,
Shoe permits natural foot action, while giving
support to the arch, gently and naturally.
Ample toe room allows free action of the toes.
The flexible arch permits exercise and circula
tion. Foot numbness in cold weather is thus
avoided. Cantilevers are refined in style, well
made and reasonably priced.

Fruit Recipes

Excerpts
f rom the letters of
Satisfied Parents
“My boy—who had given up trying
to achieve any excellence in schol
arship before coming to you—has
been gradually changing to an en
tirely different attitude towards
his school work. The instruction
he has received, guided as it has
been by the intelligent understand
ing of his individual needs, has
given him heart, and, at last, a real
interest in his studies."
• • *
“Individual Instruction in its best
sense means the teaching of each
child to think for himself. It does
not mean teaching a child in such
a way that he will always be de
pendent on help.”
* * •
“You have some excellent tea. hers.
Each child's ability and desire to
learn are given 'the consideration
and chance which alone makes
possible the highest mental attain
ment.”
* • •
"The speed of the usual class-room
work is necessarily harsh and un
fair. It is a result of the over
crowded conditions, for it is mani
festly impossible that one teacher
can keep track of fifty children’s
wandering little minds, , in every
subject, every day. It seems to me
that in your school the amount of
work done in a given time is great
er—because each child understands
the ground covered and is not left
submerged in a fog of badly assim
ilated facts."
• • *
”1 hope your school will continue
to prospier, for 1 feel you are try
ing to give our children what they
most need, not only in school work,
but also in life—an intelligent abil
ity to think for themselves."
• • •
"I wish that l were able to express
in writing the keen satisfaction
and great appreciation which l feel
for you and for your school. Its
excellent method of imparting to
the children the thing.- which they
should know has quite won my
heart. When your child reaches
home, radiantly happy over each
day's work and pleasure, you nat
urally feel that that child is in the
right place.” *
“The child which is fortunate
enough to have individual instruc
tion has a great chance to develop
a strong mentality."
