W'licn Two Generations Differ Over
A Baby's tare.
Fortunately for my peace of mind,
Sirs. Durkee Is a most volatile little
person, whose attention can be diver
ted easily, and I took prompt ad
vantage of my knowledge of this
trait. I had no desire to have her con
tinue her speculations as to the Iden
tity of the person who had advised
Alfred to name his baby daughter
Leila, after his adored young wife,
and therefore, with shameful mendac
ity, I sprang to my feet and com
manded, tensely, "Listen”
Her Fluffiness fell at once Into the
trap. " Oh, what Is It?” she cried,
so nervously that I scored myself
for my carlessness. But my mother
in law did not start, only looked at
ina steadily, a grim, comprehending
little smlla quirting the corners of
her mouth. I had not fooled her, but
she would not betray me, and 1 gave
her my whole attention inventing
some piauslbla excuse for my ex
claimation.
"Did you hear some one call my
name from outside the house?” I
asked Mrs. Durkee directly, stilling
the protesting voice of my conscience
with the sophistry that I had asked
a question, not made an assertion.
* "Are You Sure You Heard?”
“Why, no,” she answered, wide
eyed. "I didn't hear anything but
Katie singing to herself out there in
the kitchen. Are you sure you heard
somebody call you?”
"No, neither did anybody else,” my
mother-in-law struck In caustically.
“It’s nothing but your imagination,
Margaret. Eat your breakfast and put
fool ideas out of your head.”
But I moved toward the door in
stead, resolved to make a thorough
Job of the diversion which I saw
was already successful.
"I’ll Just go out and make sure,”
I said, slipping through the dining
room door and across the pantry to
the kitchen, where Katie was sing
ing over her work.
"You looking for dose kids?” she
asked cheerily, for I had sent Marion
and Junior to her for an early break
fast before they went out to play.
"I want to speak to them a min
ute, yes,” I returned.
"Dey shoost outside by hedge,”
she returned, and I went on out of
the door, stopping for a second to
give same Idle direction to Marion
and then coming back again into the
dining room to meet the expectant
face of Mrs. Durkee and the sardonic
one of my mother-in-law.
-COL.OR CUT-OUTB " N
Red Ridinghood j
A Strange Voice.
Utile Red Kldinghood walked Into
her grandmother's cottage, thinking,
of course, that her grandmother whs
In bed. It was very dim In the little
room, as the shades were down.
She put her basket of cookies on
the table and then walked over to
the hed to talk to her poor, sick
grandmother, never • dreaming that
the wicked old gray wolf was In the
bed Instead.
"How strange grandmother s volet
sounded when she told me to com*
In,” she thought. “She must be very
sick Indeed.”
(Here Is the bed In which the wolt
hides. Color the curtains yellow and
the cover blue. If you cut along the
dotted line you can stick first the
grandmother's head and then th«
the wolf's through the silt so thai
each seems, In turn, to be In the bed
You can make the bed stand up by
mounting It on cardboard and stick
Ing a strip of cardboard at the back
to hold It straight.’

“You were right. Mother," I said, a
bit confueedly. “Dicky would eay
that my Imagination was working
overtime."
“And In the meantime, your break
fast Is getting cold," Mrs. Durkec
cried, hospitably, forthwith touch
ing the bell for Katie and insisting
upon a complete new service for me.
Kegulating Baby by a Clock
The traditional coals of fire settled
upon my brow, and sizzled there, my
only consolation being the fact that
my little hostess, with apparent for
getfulness of her grievance .concern
ing the baby's name, was now en
gaged In outlining her objections to
Leila's nurse, chief of which ap
peared to me the fact that that highly
efficient person declined to permit the
baby to be taken up when ever she
cried.
"You’d think the baby was an ear
of corn or something," Her Fluffiness
sputtered, “to bo put Into a machine
and ground up so that she’d come
out all atandered. That woman’s a
machine herself anyway, runs the
baby by clock work—eat, sleep and
cry on the minute. It’s a wonder to
me she doesn't put a key In the
child’s mouth and try to wind her up.
And Leila and Alfred kowtow to that
woman as If she were something
superhuman, although X know they’re
Just on pins when the poor little
thing cries and nobody can take It
up and cuddle it.”
"You’re lucky to have ’em even
want to," my mother-law com
mented caustically, and though she
did not look at me, I well knew to
what she referred. I had very distinct
memories of the royal battle which
ensued during Junior’s babyhood con
cerning thos same matter of disci
plining Infants. I had come out victor,
but the scars of warfare still remain
ed.
"I suppose so.” IJttle Mrs. Durkee
flashed a. quick look at me, and there
was In It the subconscious world-old
conflict between the ideas of differ
ed generations. I knew Instinctively
that I was in for an unpleasant quar
ter of an hour, and my Instinct did
not fall me. The two grandmothers
sympathized with each other all
through the breakfast hour, giving
their children and their inlaw part
ners many a sly dig In the process.
But I was able to perry all persanal
allusions without betraying my own
pique, and when at the close of the
meal, I escorted my mother-in-law
back to her room again, and reallz
ed that her orgle of mutual sympa
thizing had relaxed the nervous ten
sion of the earlier morning, I thank
ed my particular little Joes for so
fortunate an Intervention before the
beginning of the next hour's ordeal.

Disliked by Fmmlly.
Dear Miss Allen: I cannot mix
with my sisters. When X go to visit
them they don't want me. They call
me a fool. I like to read and talk
about current toplos or go to a good
show, but they would rather stay at
home and drink and smoke and tell
vile stories. They had better chances
for an education than I did. but they
Hre very Illiterate. Even my mother
prefers to go with my listers rathsr
than me. When we three are together
they won’t talk with me. Mother and
one sister have done tome awful
things, bdt for my own self-respect
I try to hold my mother up. I was
sick for a long time and my mother
put me out on the street and would
not take care of me. We supported
her over 40 years, as her second hus
band left her with three children, e
boy and two girls—the sisters I speak
of. I turned all my earnings over to
her and dented myself all pleasures
and clothes. I married young and
had a large family. We always shared
with her. and of coyrse my own had
to do with halt of what they could
have had. I helped her put things In
her home for herself and my brother.
The last time I went to my home tow-n
I did not stay there. I could not
stand her tormenting. Brother earns
from $65 to $85 a week and gets his
board and home with her for $10 a
week. They are always demanding
more money from me. OUTCAST.
You are simply a mlaflt In your
family and should no longer try to
be a part of It through your loyalty.
It Is evident that your mother does
not appreciate your previous efforts
and that anything you do in the fu
ture will be wasted effort. By no
means contribute to your brother’s
support because he Is making enough
and old enough to stand on his own
feet. For companionship look to your
friends and your children. No longer
overlook the little ways In which you
can be of assistance to your own fam
ily. You have been overtaxed In giv
ing to your mother and her family
long enough.
Cultivating a Friendship.
Dear Miss Allen: Several months
ogo, during my vacation, I visited a
married cousin who lives In another
state.
While I was at her home she asked
me to viBit with her a bachelor rela
tive of her family. He kindly Invited
us to remain for dinner.
I found him wonderfully Interesting
and would like to encourage his friend
ship.
Would It be proper to write him an
Invitation to visit me at my home?
Or should I wait until h* asks per
mission to do so?
VERY ANXIOUS.
You could hardly ask him to visit
you for any length of time on such
slight acquaintance. If ever he Is In
the city where you live It would be
quite proper to ask him to call, how
ever. And that would be the best
way to become better acquainted.
But I understand from your letter
that you have seen nothing of him
since lest summer and h»\e nnt cone
sponded. Under those circumstances
I would not advise you to Invite hint
to make a long trip to visit you.
Tell Her the Truth.
Dear Mias Allen: I am going about
with a young girl for whom 1 care
very much and I believe she cares
for me.
I am a widower with one child. 1
don’t think she knows anything about
this. We are both working for the
same concern.
I would like to let her know about
my child and former marriage, but
am at sea as to how to tell her. AV111
you please give me some advice?
ANXIOUS.
The next time you call on her ask
her whether she knows about your
child. This will result In you telling
her the story. Don't try to lead up
to the subject, but tell her very sim
ply. If you are In love and thinking
of proposing marriage to her she
should know about the child, as you
will wish to be very certain that she
will be glad to make a home for your
child as well as for you.
Wavy Locks: Don't go with the
boy if he doesn't pay proper attention
to you. Perhaps you act as a dead
weight, however, and expect him to
provide all the fun and conversation.
You must do your part, you know.
Interested: Yes. this Is a case for
the authorities. Consult your county
judge on the procedure necessary.
Peggy: If you love the boy you
will be glad to wait for him. I think
it Is a mistake to stay at home for
two years. Any human being needs
companionship and diversion.
