before known. And. SOM chow, l
knew he'd earned the right to wear
'em! why, his bearing convinced
me. his attitude. the way he looked
at me even.
All this time we hadn't spoken,
and mama didn't know!
Then. 1 sensed something differ

about even. L remembered how he'd
begged me home, only for me to re-

School Days

School Days
September usually means busy
time to mothers and children. Schools
begin then, or a little later, and there
are all sorts of things to be done
to get the children ready and to re-
adjust them to conditions different
from their vacation days. Children
In town or country have not been
tied to books for some time. They
may have had regular employment,
but the memory was not on such a
strain and most of them could move
about at will. New teachers are go
ing to be over them, and an army
Of little ones will get into harness
bearance will be needed.
My sympathy goes out to the
three most ncerned-motherS chill
dren and teachers. Adjustment is
hard for any Of US, but there is a
certain amount of prejudice, or critl-
cism, a certain amount of measure
ing the new teacher by a previous
one, that it takes a wise mother to
turn into a happier channel. If
pupil has especially loved a certain
teacher, let your boy or girl be re-
him Cor herr a poor scholar the
blame will be on the one there last
year. And it's well for every parent
to also remember that they are 60
ing to be judged by the way their
children behave in school and on
the school grounds.
I've had a lot to do with teachers
and have SO often heard the new
ones say, 81 want to meet Mr.. and
Mrs. So-and-so. they have such nice
children in school, Children cannon

| heard a lady say that the children
of today are literally picked up and
others are driven with brush broOms.
There is a happy medium for the

Nothing is appreciated that is too

POLLY.
Answer: The boy is too young
for you. You are a woman, while
he is still mere boy. When
a woman marries, it should be a
man who is older than she,
whom she can respect as we'll as
love. The difference in your
ages now seem to mean little,
but later, the years will
lengthen, and l can't believe that
you would be happy with him.
Give him up to the younger
