The Gift Of Observation
Finding An Objective In Life With Strain-Some
Ways Mothers May Develop Chld's Conscious
Understanding of Things Surrounding Him.
By LAURA CLAWSON.

W YHEN / was a child there
M was an interesting story
" told me about two chill
dren who were sent on the
same errand. When they came back
they were questioned separately as
to their adventures. The one saw
the most interesting things as she
walked. the other child had observed
nothing, and, therefore. had nothing
to tell. This story was called
Eyes and No Eyes"
1t amused me, of course, but there
was the germ of an important truth
in the fable. For the gift OF OBJ
scrvation is precious one, and
happy the child whose parents. real
izing this. set about very early in
life to cultivate 1t.
1t is simply unbelievable how
many persons there are in The world
who go through life with their eyes
closed to the beauty and wonder
about them! Culture and travel
seem to do nothing for them. on
the other hand, the early workman
streets may lind beauty in the sun
seen through the haze OF the factory

Finding an Objective.
Our children OF today have so
much that is purely objective in
their lives; We struggle and strain
to surround them with all that
makes their little lives healthful and
comfortable, forgetting often that
things may assume too much i'm
portance In their lives as we'll as
ours.
Almost every child Is interested in
the novel, the unusual. The boy
will tell you eXcitedly of new in

Advice To
Girls
Bv ANNIE LAURIE.

Dear Annie Laurie-I am going
with a young man who never
walks on the side near the curb
when he is with me. In fact. he
always walks on my right side. /
don't mind Il so much when we
are alone, but it Is rather ems
barrassing when we go with 9TH
ers. Could you tell me how to
make It known to him without
hurting his feelings? c. Il. f.
YF, as you say. he always walks
at your right, II you always
walked on the left side OF the
street he would be on the out
side. wouldn't he? Perhaps II he
sees you walking persistently on the
same side of the street and asks
why. you can explain to him.
OF course. the fashion for having
a man walk on the outside has
arisen from the days when a mans
protec elton was really necessary for
a woman when she walked abroad.
In those days, the man walked be-
tween her and the road to protect
her from the domestic animals which
were allowed to stray at large.
Couldn't you tell this to the young
man? He may have the mistaken
idea that to walk always on the
right Is the correct way.
Dear Miss Laurie: My girl
FRIEND and / had a discussion as
to whether or not 1t was proper to
appear at a breakfast table in a
kimono and bedroom slippers.
We will appreciate 1t very much
If You will give your Views on the
subject and correct either her or
my wrong opinion of the matter.
TT Is just as easy to slip into a
one-piece frock as to put on
and fasten a kimono. Nothing
looks worse than to see a woman
80 lose her self-respect as to appear
for breakfast CARRIED in a wrapper
of any sort. One would not go so
far as to say that the wearing of a
kimono was improper, but 1t shows
ineXcusable untidiness.
If the bedroom slippers were of
black leather. they would not look
very badly. but since most are made
in gay colors and are likely to be
soiled, at that. plain low shoes are
far neater and just as comfortable.
Both a kimono and bedroom slip
pers are designed for the bed room
only, and II is. therefore. stretching
their use a bit to wear them at the
table.

~ RANCE was one vast slaughter
- house. The revolution had
smashed the ancient monarchy.
and King Louis XVI had lost
both his crown and his head. Aristo-
Gratis were butchered by the thousand.
The clergy had been loyal to the
King. So converts and abbeys were
looted, and the gentle priests and nuns
were hunted like wolves.
A priest and two nuns took refuge in
the attic of house in the Paris sub
urbs Their only sin was their devotion
for the beheaded King. Yet they were
forced to hide for their lives. like COM
mon felons.
One OF the nuns used to creep forth at
night. In disguise, to buy such scanty
provisions as they could AFFORD. Then.
out, the nun found she was followed
during her nightly quests for food. She
hurried home and told OF the prowling
stranger who logged her steps. All
three refugees gave themselves UP for
lost.
The Man OF Mystery.
At that moment some one entered that
attic. 1t was the man who had followed
the nun. In a few words he set at rest
the fears of the trio by telling them
he knew who they were and that he had
no thought of betraying their hiding
