Uncle John. Uncle John had behaved
much in the same way years ago,
though. of course, he had forgotten
that fact. Every opportunity that
offered found Graham Hartley In the
company of Marie Cartier.
When Graham finally confessed
the true state of his feelings, Uncle
John, for supposedly sane man, be-
came very violent.
1t was the mere fact she was an
actress that Uncle John objected to-.

MADEMOISELLE
CARTIER
By ANTOINETTE PATTERSON
(Oopyrshl, isli, By Associated Literary Press.

For the last two or three years
Graham Hartley had been taking life
none too seriously. An uncle
Graham's parents were both dead
was largely responsible for this. He
had taken the boy Immediately after
his graduation from college, where
he had done really we'll. home to his
magnificent bachelor apartments; he
had helped to develop his Unborn taste
Tor luxury and beauty OF all kinds.
Incidentally he had encouraged lazi-
ness.
Uncle and nephew had lived ami
eably together until one day. while
they were travelling abroad, the lat
ter fell madly in love with the pretty
Drima donna Of the opera which was
creating a furore In Paris.
On that first night for q full half
hour, Graham Hartley had gazed
stubbornly through his opera-glasses
at Mile. Cartier, not only because
she was pretty and charming, but
because he seemed to remember
having once seen her before. Sud
denly 1t came to him; she was the
little French girl who had been edu-
Gated with a young cousin of his own
In convent near Paris, and whom,
during the summer vacation three
years ago. he had met visiting with
this same cousin at a villa near
Dinard. She had charmed them all
then with her fresh young voice, and
had added much to his regret when
the time came for his return to the
United States.
Graham Hartley lost no time in
slipping behind the scenes and send.
ing In his card to Mile. Cartier.
She remembered him perfectly. and
seemed glad to see him.
Hartley wanted to bring Uncle
John. but Uncle John was obdurate.
He had little enthusiasm for the thea
ter at best. and rooted objection to
actresses. Had Graham known at
the time Of the one romantic episode
of his uncle's life and how It had
been irrevocably bound up with a
woman Of this profession, he would
have understood things better.
AS 1t was, he gave little thought to
the matter. and soon. indeed, he

The dishes OF Spain and Mexico
are too closely alike to make q dis.

brilliancy, and you can purchase little

The word understanding" is SC

r, embraces so many things in the
cbiId's life. as we'll as in the par
ent's 1t means sympathy-thal
sweet, gentle sympathy that is the
golden key to the hearts Of every
child
\ Ii is no easy task to thoroughly
understand even ones own children.
Each individual child has his own
small idiosy nacasries; there are no
two natures alike; each must be
dealt with according to its own in
herited and acquired tendencies.
Even il a woman is a mother. she
cannot be expected to be skilled
mind reader; but she can observe
her children carefully, learning what
they think and feel and really need.
One important thing that every
mother should remember is to con-
slider her own feelings. thoughts and
actions during the months previous
to her child's birth, and also family
traits. All these will be of great
assistance to her in the understand
ing of her child's immature mind.
She must be careful. however, not
to put too much faith in these things
but must study the psychology Of the
childish mind and watch for little
signs that cannot well be translated
into words, but which, like straws
in the wind, indicate the general
trend of thought and reasoning.
Just wishing to understand is not
enough. A mother must show par
ticular interest not only in the big
things, but in the little things her
child does. Through this interest
she must win their confidence, and
must be willing to listen patiently to
all their perplexities and troubles,
their little problems, which to them
ere quite as important as the tariff
reform or woman suffrage is to their
parents.
When mother cannot see the cause
for her child's shortcomings she
should remember that no child Is
perfect and that many allowances
must necessarily be made II she
knows in her heart that because OF
some inherited trait her child can
