Better Homes for Turtles
Latest Charity Slogan
The latest amateur charity case work deals with winter housing condi
tions for turtles.
So piteous Is the plight of the aquatic visitors brought here last summer
from an Illinois farm to paddle energetically around Aquila Court pool, or
doze contentedly under its Illy pads, that Omaha housewives are making
s an effort to give them, if not bigger, at least better and warmer homes.
Mrs. Arthur Loomis Is saving one turtle from an Icy end by taking it
; home to amuse her little daughter, Nancy, as it paddles about a tin tub this
* winter.
Mrs. Lee Ross Newkirk, who has two little sons to keep entertained,
; has taken two, and is constructing an aquarium for them in the basement.
This is no new thing foe Mrs. Newkirk, who had an aquarium in her girlhood
, home in England. “We always had a turtle or two in our pool,'' she said,
; “though they loved coal and would withdraw In seclusion for a month or
* so at a time Into our fuel bin, and would frighten us by emerging unex
t pectedly, as black as night.
Mr*. Donald Howes Is another who Is going to take a turtle for her
* children'* amusement, for the turtle, like the porcupine
•'la so lovely, jrontle, tractable ami mllii
He makes a fascinating household pel.
‘ A lovely playmate for a little child"

Puzzled: The world craves love
expressed in kindness. You glow and
become happy under the Influence
of kindness. So do T. So does every
one.
And we love people who give ns
the kindly affection and friendship
for which we hunger.
The art of being kind involves
mental alertness—you must be quick
to detect a need: energy—you can't
ho too lazy to put yourself out to
supply the need; cultivation of health
and beauty, that your very appear
ance and personality may give pleas
ure—self-discipline—that you may
suppress mean impulses, words and
deeds; emphasis of likable traits of
your acquaintances and friends—
that you may honestly like them.
Are you lonely? Are you unpopu
lar? Are you sad?
Cultivate the art of being kind
You'll find It a short cut to happy
companionship, service, friendship,
charm and love.

The “Oet-Awsy Plans” Madge Care
fully Made.
Katie's face clouded quickly at my
laughing promise to take some
thing along to defend us from an
airplane attack.
“Dot vay you alvays do," she said
a bit sulkily. “Maybe eef dot old
Chinamans follow us down road und
find* out vare ve haf peeknik, you
laugh Oder side of your niout, I
don't believe you mean to take any
shooting gun mit you, at all."
“yes, I do, Katie, honestly," I said,
making my voiee emphatic In order
to satisify her. nut when I had made
my escape from the kitchen I faced
the humiliating fact that it was not
alone the wish to keep my promise
to my little maid that was behind
my sudden decision to put Into my
dress the little silencer pistol Lillian
had given me long ago.
It was the height of folly, I told
myself scornfully, to think that dan
ger of some sort theatened me be
cause Marion had imagined a face
i at the window, I had seen flat,
smudgy footprints upon the veranda
roof, and Katie had found what look
ed like a torn Chinese laundry ticket
beneath my window. There were
plausible and common s.nse Interpre
tations of all three incidents. 1 was
sure.
Nevertheless the touch of the tiny
weapon against my side was very re
assuring, when, after seeing that the
children were dressed and getting
everything ready for the drive to
Marvin I took the little pistol and
thrust It Into my dress where I could
reach It readily.
"Oh, Messes Graham!" Katie's
voice, dripping with woe, greeted mo
when, after seating Marlon and Jun
ior at the breakfast table, where
Mother Graham was already finish
ing her morning meal. I went Into
the kitchen. "I no tlnk I can go."
Why Katie Hesitated.
"Why not. Katie?" I asked equa
bly. for I knew the reason for her
dolor and remedy.

What nonsense, Katie!" I replied,
purposely accenting a note of scorn j
in my voice. "Fix his breakfast and
leave it. In the oven, with his melon
In the Icebox. Jim can serve it to
him and cook an egg if he wishes
it.”
“Vot!” Katio exclaimed, horrified.
"Hot Jeem feex an egg for Meester
Graham! No, dot nofer vlll do. Meester
Graham he no like dot. He like
eferttng alvays shoost so."
Now I know that Katin would have
no fuss at all about leaving a
meal in the oven for me. With most
foreign-born women and many of otir
older feminine generation—Mother
Graham is a striking example—Katie
believes that the man of the house
is not only the head of the house
hold, hut a creature set apart and
above all others, who must have the
best seat, at te table, the cholsest
tidbits of food, and whose comfort—
and whims—must he considered be
fore that of ary other member of
the family.
It is a belief which infuriates me
cut of all proportion to Its Irnpor

my voice as I answered her.
The "Peeknik" Wins.
It does not matter what he likes
or doesn't like this morning, Katie,'1
I said tartly. ‘‘You will do as I tell j
you at once, and 1 will see to it that
Mr. Graham does not blame you for
going away before he Is ready for
breakfast. Call Jim now and show
him just what to do when Mr. Gra
ham is ready."
Joy at the chance to go on the
outing struggled with her natural
obstinacy, but the "peeknlk" won
nnd she giggled happily.
"1 no care eef you vant to take
loetlo healing In my place,’1 she said,
hut there was no disrespect In her
voice despite the Impertinence of her
words.
I smiled at Katie as I went hark
into the dining room for my break
fast, hurrying through It In deference
to the unuttered but very palpable
Impatience of my mother-Inlaw, who,
I knew, was not only on nettles her
self to begin the Journey, but would
keep me on the same brambly bed
until we actually had started on our
trip.
