A DASH FOR FREEDOM
BY JANE CASHlON.


I'm SO glad you've come, said Mrs.
Milburn. thrusting weeping baby
into her husbands arms the moment
his overcoat was off. She's a little
fretful. but she'll be all right with you.
It's wonderful how she crows and sings
when you dance around with her"
Milburn looked into the face of his
grandchild with mock severity that
did not appear to brighten her, for the
little frowning crinkles smoothed into
smile. When he threw her up to his
shoulder with tender semblance of
roughness she cooed with delight.
Isn't she just the sweetest thing
you ever saw?' cried the grandmother.
"Oh, | don't know, Alice. There have
been others. | do have a fellow feel
ing for her, though, because she's
bald" Milburn pulled the infant down
from his shoulder and kissed the spot
where the soft fuzzy curls had worn
off on the pillow. But why am |

a brief tonight" He proffered the
baby to his wife.
Il can't take her now. I've got some
thing to do in the kitchen"

Tom wanted Laura to dine with him
downtown, so she brought baby here
and went down early to do some shop

often"
mo, that's SO. This Is only the third
time this week that her baby has been

and anyway | think it's a Joy to have
such a perfect little darling come to
visit us. You know you think 80, too. "
Maybe I do, but as l tried to ex-
plain, have little matter Of my own
on hand"
Mrs. Milburn, however, had gone to
the kitchen and there was nothing for
Milburn to do but establish the baby
among the pillows on the couch while
he made his toilet In as entertaining a
manner as he could invent. He
brushed his hair with free fourishes
that won gurgles from the small on
locker, and he was rewarded by ap-
plause when he removed his shoes
with kicks that sent them flying across
the floor. When Mrs. Milburn came to
say that dinner was ready she found
the baby in state Of hilarity.
You manage her better than any
one else," she declared.
I'm other words, I'm the biggest
monkey in the family" Milburn en-
deavored not to look proud.

be great comfort to Nell"
"Oh, no doubt" remarked Milburn.
After dinner when Milburn, with the
baby in his arms, was dancing his
own version Of the tango in the kitch-
en- while his wife washed the dishes,
the telephone rang.
I'll keep her while you answer"
said Mrs. Milburn. When he returned,
his peculiar expression made her ask:
"Who was it,"
Laura called up to know If the
baby was good. She said Tom had
asked her to 90 to the theater, and
would we mind keeping the baby. OF
course said the pleasure was all ours,
and then she said she wouldn't like
to take the baby out in the middle Of
the night, and the only thing the baby
would need was a bottle at three
O'Clock In the morning. Just little
bottle at a. m, my dear. That's ALL"

PATCHWORK NOT QUITE DEAD
Has Lost Much Of Its Old.Time Popu.
larlty, But Can Count on
Periodic RevIvaIs.

There is nothing like the old-fash.
toned patchwork quilt for use with q
four post bed. Even though the bed
be copy only Of the antique, the
quilt needs to be Of the same era,
especially If the room is furnished
with rag rugs. Now and then at fairs
and among private customs one
finds woman who knows how to
make rag carpets and mats, and there
is nothing more appropriate for the
bedroom floors of the summer cottage
Patchwork has periodical revivals,
but even then it Is never entirely out
Of fashion. Many women today hoard
scraps Of silk for this purpose, as
their mothers, grandmothers and
great-grandmothers did before them.
1t is possible to keep pieces Of GER
tain colors for certain quilts, thus
using blue and white for one room or
pink and white for another. Appliques
cut from lowered cretonnes are
charming on dimity bedspreads. In the
time Of our grandmothers the flowers
and leaves had to be laborlously cut Of
colored patches, then be fitted to-
gether with infinitesimal stitches. The
writer possessed wonderful bed
spread of red peoples and green leaves
and stems, worked into a border all
the way around the spread.
Squares of patchwork were the first
sewing put into the hands OF tiny
maidens In those days and served as q
daily stint" for years to come.

POLAR HONOR CLAIMANT
Is COMING TO KEENEY'S
DR.. Cook Will Give a New Lee
ture on His Famous Ex-
pIoration Tour.

DR.. Frederick Cook. the arctic ex-
plorer, who claims to have beaten
Peary to the North Pole, will be a
feature at Keeneys Theatre the lat
ter half of this week.
DR.. Cook created world wide inter-
est and enthusiasm some years ago
when his message from the frozen
north announced that he had attained
the goal in the pursuit of which SC
many others had failed. He was re-
ceived with more than royal honore
on his return to civilization. But
when the ovation accorded him was
at its highest, he was denounced as a
'fakir," and the honors which were
being showered upon him came to a
sudden end. The monumental fame
which had seemed so certain was sud
denly wrenched away.
Despite the collapse of his claims,
DR.. Cook still insists that he did in
honest truth reach the North Pole,
and one of his purposes in lecturing,
he says, is to turn the tide of opin-
ion again in his favor.
