WIZ GA% BY HELEN HELP
The Genevieve Who Is a Noble Nagger

said: well, Genevieve, we need our
job, I am not arranging matters for
my firm, thank you"
"Genevieve," says James some time
later, "two of the men l graduated
from Tech. with are in town and
would like to bring them home to din
ner tomorrow. l guess I'll bring
quart of fizz with me. They'll like It,"
Il will be very glad to welcome your
friends, James," says Genevieve, "but
l draw the line at liquor. 1t shall
never come under my roof"
why" says the bewildered James,
you used not to mind"
"That was before had a serious re-
sponsibility of bringing up child prop
erly," says Genevieve.
But Jimsey is only three months old
what harm can it do him?"
Well, Genevieve was right enough,
perhaps. She knew just what the at
mosphere of the home ought to be from
the first, and she was going to keep it
that way. And she did.
Jimsey kept on growing up and the
atmosphere of the home came to be
| something like this - Jimsey being
three years old and capable young
citizen.
Doesn't little son know that it is
very wrong? Isn't Jimsey sorry? Why
isn't Jimsey sorry? But Jimsey ought
| to be sorry. Oh, Jimsey, you hurt
mamma so when you are not sorry.
Doesn't Jimsey know that his little
heart ought to be clean and good?"-
And all that little Jimsey really needs
is light but rapid hand applied ex-
| ternally moment, and the words,
spoken in a clear, calm voice, with a
downward infection: "You mind me-"
Soon Jimsey would learn to recognize
| kindly authority, and after awhile be
old enough to see the value of exercis-
ing authority over himself.
But James is told about Jimsey and
he, too, must look sorry and probe aft
er finer feelings, while Genevieve
says: II don't see where he got such
a disposition-but, perhaps, if one ap-
peals to his better nature" And
then she looks at James and James
better nature all curls up and crawls
into it's nest and hibernates, while his
worse nature is on the job, trying to
dodge this noble woman's case of con-
science.
James firm now says: "He is good
man, but you have to let him pro-
ceed on his own lines. Well, he is
worth thousands every year to us"
Genevieve's friends say: "She is a
lovely character, and isn't it a pity
that her husband has such a cold,
hard nature? And as for that child, he
is such a torment"
And Genevieves very dearest friends
say: Heavens, how she does nag that
poor man! And as for Jimsey!"

Language Studies in Dutch Schools.
while the percentage of educated
persons in Holland is not greater than
in the United States l am inclined to
think that more attention is given in
the public schools of Holland to in
struction in foreign languages than
there is in this country" said ]. A.
Grutterink, an engineer of The Hague,
here on a mission for his government
''In our Dutch schools it is part of
the course of instruction to teach the
three principal anguages-French,
German and English.
when pupil reaches the period of
graduation he must take an examina-
tion in these languages as we'll as in
other studies. 1t therefore is not
strange that person of fair educa-
tion in Holland is able to speak Eng
lish understandingly at least"

None better in his line" replied
James cheerfully. "He is a cracker

such man just now, having to start
on big bit Of construction work very
soon."

mending her heart all right. And John

"But, James, you do not understand
me-" urged Genevieve. "Mr. Johnson
is not good man. He is very bad
man, indeed, and I should think my
husband would have too much princi-
pie to employ him."
"Oh, is that what you're getting at?
Well, Blake is fine executive, Gene

Mrs. Rambler was a widow, so there
wasn't anything actually criminal
about it, was there? James heard a
few of mis- Genevieves serious views
during the honeymoon and before, but
he simply looked at her with admira-
tion as a peach Of good girl, you
know. 1t did not interfere with busi-
ness.
But this time it was serious, indeed,
and Genevieve gave James mighty lit
tie rest about it. At last, she was told
that she did not understand business.
Then she inquired if her husband was
to lower his standard of right and
wrong for mere business; and James
looked at her bit quizzically and

all about Clarence, anyway, and, be-
sides, there isn't anything to know. He
is Just funny-well, he is little in
love with me, but not enough to hurt.
Why, it isn't important"
Then Genevieve would feel awfully
about 1t, and make it the subject of
serious conversation, compelling gay

experiments in France prove the con-
trary. They are of small benefit, be-

as a house or slight irregularity on
