"Never say or do or listen to any

or flowers, or toys from anyone you DO
not know; never walk into secludeu
places or vacant houses with anyone
save your parents or other relatives.

bringing up to do such things; and
never permit anyone to talk to you on
these subjects save your parents; AS

Almost any child is in danger of be-
ing harmed mentally or physically
through ignorance, which is mistaken
for innocence by most parents. IL is
appalling to know of the number OF
cases where young, uniformed mlnus
have been smirched by evil communl- J.
cations, and where even serious physl-
cal disasters have befallen chlldren
through the lack of parental fore-
thought and prevention.
1t is appalling to know how many
young boys have distorted m1nds
through the same cause; lack of par
entail instruction.; and the last people
to know of the wrong thoughts and
actions of these boys are the parents
themselves. And even with the strong
est proof the parents often refuse 70
believe the unpleasant facts when theS
are confronted with them.
One schoolmaster in New jersey
was almost driven from the commun-
ity recently because he went In a
kindly spirit to talk confidentially with
parents regarding the behavior OF
their boys
Do not add yourself, my dear sir
or madam, to the long list of such

fidant and instructor of your little

ground for their growing and rich
maturity.

his cap in overdone courtesy, which
his stolid brevity made the more con-
spicuous.
Miss Galland, you seem lost in abb
straction," he said in sudden loquao-
ity. Il am almost on the point of
accusing you of being a poet"
"Accusing!" she replied. Then you
must think that I would write bad
poetry"
"On the contrary, I should say ex-
cellent-using the sonnet FORM" he re-
turned.
Il might make a counter accusa-
tion. only that yours would be the
epic FORM" answered Marta. For you,
too, seem fond of rambling"
There was a yelled challenge in the
hawk eyes, which she met with COM
monplace politeness in hers, before
be again lifted his cap and proceeded
on his way.
For the next two weeks Marta's role
resolved itself into a kind of routine.
Their cramped quarters became q
refuge to Marta in the trial of her
secret work under the very nose of
the staff. With little Clarissa Eileen,
they formed the only feminine society
in the neighborhood. On sunshiny
days Mrs. Galland was usually to be
found in her favorite chair outside
the tower door; and here Minna set
the urn on a table at four-thirty as in
the old days.
No member of the staff was more
frequently present at Martas teas
than Bouchard, who was developing
his social instinct late in life by sit
ting in the background and allowing
others to do the talking while he
watched and listened. In his hearing,
Marta's attitude toward the progress
Of the war was sympathetic but never
interrogatory, while she shared atten-
tion with Clarissa Eileen, who was IN
danger of becoming spoiled by officers
who had children of their own at home.
After the reports of killed and wound
ed, which came with such appalling
regularity, it was a relief to hear of
the days casualties among Clarissa's
dolls. The chief of transportation
and supply rode her on his shoulder;
the chief of tactics played hide-and-
seek with her; the chief engineer
built her a doll house of stones with
his own hands; and the chief medical
officer was as concerned when she
caught cold as If the health of the
army were at stake.
I'VE mustn't get too set up over all
this attention. Clarissa Eileen, my RI

are the only little girl and L am the
only big girl within reach. If there
were lots of others it would be diff
ferent"

Mrs. AntOinette Funk, Vice
Chairman Of Congressional
Committee, Declares Sha-
froth-Palmer Amendment
Points Way to Surmount
Barriers.

The need of q more elastic Federal
Constitution is the subject OF a rather
unique talk by Mrs. Antoinette Funk,
accomplished vice chairman OF the Con-
gressional committee of the National
American Woman Suffrage Association.
Few women have treated this political
subject in the way that Mrs. Funk has.
Her work as vice chairman Of an in
nuentiRl suffrage organization has led
her into fields which few women as
say, but being a lawyer OF consider
able reputation, her friends have
svinced deep interest in her constitu-
tional discussion.
Mrs. Funk contends that only a con-
stitution that will meet the demands
Of a new progress and remove all bar
riers to equal suffrage can be consid-
cred really progressive. Her talk, Of
course, relates to the suffrage legisla-
tion now pending in Congress. She
said:
"A resolution for full suffrage as an
amendment to the Constitution has
been in Congress for more than fifty
years, and is called the Susan B. An
thony amendment and for fifty years

are part The National Woman Suf-
frage Association, has brought all pos

Strength In Congress.
From q corporals guard in Congress
who favored suffrage twenty years ago, q
majority OF the Senate voted for 1t this
session, and while It's strength has not
been tested in the House of Representa-
tives, It is conceded that more than a
majority Of the number are suffragists;
but in both branches OF Congress many
good and honest suffragists are opposed
to Congress establishing equal rights for
women. claiming 1t Is a question for the
States. 1t Is the old conflict raised by
the States rights doctrine, and your ma

sional committee Amaintained at Wash
ington, has devised a plan indorsed by
the best political minds, the most ex-
perienced friends Of suffrage, and calcu-
lated to advance the cause nationally
and in the States. Recognizing that ma
tionaI strength makes for strength In the
nation, the two are interdependent one
upon the other" Mrs. Funk continued.
The resolution introduced into the
Senate by Senator Shafroth, Of Colorado,
and into the House OF Representatives by
Representative Palmer. OF Pennsylvania,
known as the Shafroth-Palmer amend
ment, in no manner supercedes or re-
places the Anthony amendment. II is not

nent devotees being Anna Morgan, Mrs.
George Kessler. Baroness Edmond Roths-
child. and Baroness Van Zuylen.
The craze began when Mrs. Waldo
Dewey, the beautiful wife of Waldo
Dewey. cousin of Admiral Dewey, with
introductions from the Duchess of Marl-
borough. triIled like q nightingale in
Paris drawing rooms. Europe's fore
most larygnologists say 1t is her abnor-
NAL, bird-like throat which enables her
to whistle D fiat in altissimo with con-
summate ease.
As a result of her continuous warbling
to society women. Mrs. Dewey has ac-
quired perfect Greuze lips and throat
muscles as firm as steel. and during the
present season hundreds of hostesses are
whistling three hours daily, hoping to
obtain the same results.
At a soIree given Mrs. Dewey this week
Edmond Rostand wrote a sonnet cele-
brating her gift, wherein he says: Your
whistling resembles the love songs OF
countless nightingales on a moonlit
night" While Saint-Saens has composed
The Bird Serenata," which he has dedi-
Gated to her.
1T Is all because I have a throat just
like the birds" she tells her friends
Medical specialists are asking me to

say 1t is quite phenomenal. I have
whistled to Tetrazzini who declared that
no human voice is capable OF producing
the notes which I obtain without an

Next week Mrs. Dewey goes TO Deau-
vile, where, at the request of her Ameri-
can disciples. she will give numerous
whistling parties.
