the town, and that all the changes
had been for the better.

That Senator France of Maryland

PROGRESS.

Cities at least have the stimulus
to make improvement whether they
do so or not. The village and rural
community lack the stimulation that
comes through contact with the out
side world. 1t is not surprising to
find them narrow and unprogressiye.
A unique experiment along the line
of community betterment has been
in progress for two years in twenty
three small West Virginia commun-
tiles. A system Of points is used to
score community progress, 1000 be-
ing a perfect score. Nine general
headings are used to cover the field
of community development-history,
government, business, farms, clubs,
homes, schools churches and health.
As examples of the way it works,
tht absence Of gaudy and ugly ad-
vertising signs scored two points; in
creased use Of school building for
regular school work and as social
center, four points; and one point
each for better housekeeping as the
result Of activities Of the farm wom-
ems clubs, installation of bathrooms,
and running water in kitchens, and
extension and improvement in rural
telephone system. The experiment
has produced no Utopia, but has
raised standards in the communities
involved. -LesHe's.

HOW TT HAPPENED THAT
MADGEE AND DIR. PETIT
DINED ALMOST RIV ATEU

All, Mrs. Graham. This is in
deed a pleasure"
DR.. Petit vas waiting near the
head of the stairs up which the
passengers climb from the train
level TO the waiting room. and as
he caught sight OF me I saw his eyes
light up. and his usually combre face
brighten with a smile.
His words were ultra formal. how
ever. his o n stiff. though courteous.
and / guessed that he was guarding
both words and tones carefully, leav-
ing me 10 strike whatever keynote
/ desired for our farewell interview.
Il have arranged for luncheon at
Ristori's." he said a moment later
as he guided me TO ward the taxi
entrance OF the station. You were
kind enough 10 leave the selection to
me, and 1 ventured to hope Ris-
toris would please you"
4 am delighted" / returned. and
indeed his selection pleased me, for
the famous restaurant was the last
work in quiet elegance.
Thank you" His eyes said far
more than his voice, and / felt a
faint shiver Of u-neasiness. 1 had
promised to "a this farewell lunch
con with him. and he had asked me
TO tell him how he could help me
in South America. But 1 said to
myself that 1 must sternIy repress
any indication on his part OF inject
ing anything resembling sentiment
into the situation.
He helped me into the taxicab.
took a seat beside me, and gave the
direction to the starter. Then he
folded his arms tightly over his
chest and looked straight in front of
him all the way TO the restaurant.
Who's At Fault.
If l had not known better, / would
have thought hat 1 had mortally Of
Tended him in some way. for he
made only the most perfunctory re-
plies 10 the few casual observations
l made. Once 1 had it upon my lips
70 ask If 1 had offended him. but
something warned me to leave the
question unasked. Absurd as II
seemed, his whole demeanor was
that Of a man fighting down some
hidden emotion that threatened TO
overwhelm him.
AS we entered the restaurant the
mead waiter. evidently recognizing
the physician, came forward.
Il telephOned for luncheon" said
DR.. Petit.
"Ah. yes, DR.. Petit. Right this
way"
lie turned vi over 10 a s~ubordin-
ate, who led us past the tables near
US. into the main dining room. I
naturally thought we would be seat

ed there. but the man led US through
this room. and seated us at a table
costly ensconced in an unobtrusive
alcove.
Why Madge Apologized.
Luncheon shall be served imme-
diately." ne said with a bow, and
hurried awy.
We were well within the alcOve
before the realization came TO me
that we we're just at the edge Of the
main room. All the latent puritan
ism in me came to the surface with
a rush. together with a fierce resent
ment toward the man who. ] be-
lieved. had deliberately planned the
situation.
"Dr. Petit. ] said. and at my tone
his head came UP as if / had ficked
him with a whip. you must know
hat l cannot possibly stay here. L
am surprised that you should think
so meanly of me as to imagine that
you could bring me to so private a
table as this"
He turned so white that 1 was
terrified for tear he might faint.

as they caught and held mine.
Mrs. Graham" he said. and there
was a note in his voice that / had
never heard before. a note hat ter
rihed me, you will kindly believe
me when I tell you hat / had no
idea the waiter was going to bring
us 10 this alcove. l gave my order
by telephone, and asked for a table
in a secluded corner. for 1 though
hat perhaps you might not care to
discuss the thing about which you
wished TO talk to me within hearing
of others. He must have thought i
meant this alcove table. And now
if you will accep my escort back TO
a taxicab 1 need not intrude my I'M
welcome presence on you any
longer"
1 caught my breath in surprise as
] looked at him, and listened to his
s~taccatO utterances. L had known
DR.. Petit as a stern, silent man,
but l had never dreamed that he
had the capacity for such wrath as
he was exhibiting. II was as if an
entire stranger 10 me had just step
ped into the room.
And yet / knew that I must apollo
gize 10 him, that 1 wed him repar-
alton for the shameful suspicion 1
had just voiced. and which 1 now
saw was entirely u~awarranted.
Truth spoke from his face. his eyes,
if ever 1 saw IL in a humi-n cOun-
tenance. 1 stepped up to him and
held out my hand.
Wont you please forgive me?"
1 said humbly. Il should have
known hat you were incapable of
such a thing. And may 1 not take
luncheon with you as if nothing had
happened"

I know a woman who goes around
the world with a rubber stamp in
each hand-no. 1 mean in her mind.
One Of the stamps says approval
and whenever you speak or sing or
yawn or sigh or sneeze or shiver or
laugh or cry or smile or ned or
shake your head or walk or sit down
or stand up or turn around, or do
anything on earth in that woman's
presence. you can just see her MAX
ing up her mind which stamp she's
going 10 use on you.
Approved-that you must be. and
everything that YOU say or do or
think or wish or hope or dread or
pray, either approved or disap-
proved YOU are. in that woman's
mind.
Do you like pink? If you're dark
and pink is becoming 10 you the
Stamp Woman approves of your
linking: If you happen to be blond
with a little red in your hair, she
disapproves of il, and you might
saw her only child from death,
nurse her through the fever. pay
the mortgage on her grandmother
farm and so bail TO get her twin
brother out Of jail. and she would
never forget that she did not quite
approve Of you because you liked
pink. and had no right 10 like il.
II YOU happen 20 think as she
does about some perfectly insignif-
cant thing. the Stamp Woman ap-
proves OF YOU.
And though you murder a sleep
ing infant. put poison in your own
mothers tea. u out at night and
steal the clothes off the neighbor's
clothes line. she still remembers
that she once stamped you zap
proved" and she will have forever
a little liking for you, no matter
what YOU are or what you do or DO
not do.
She Weighs Everything.
Interest. a pleasant human curl
osity. good-humored human toler-
ance. the broad view which takes a
broad interest in humanity in gen
eral-these things the Stamp wom-
an does not know existed IL she
did know she would not approve
them.
She weighs everybody and every
thing on her funny little scales and
measures everything and everybody
in her own queer little pint cup. and
she never even knows she's doing il.
she can't laugh and let the world
20 by.
She can't smile al the nonsense OF
some -nonsensical friend. and thank
goodness that somebody is light

A Rubber Stamp Woman
By Winifred Black

hearted enough to laugh once in a
while, even if she herself feels that
the world is going to the demnition
bOw-wOws along with our mourned
and much missed friend, Mr.. Man
tilini.
My friend with the stamp mind
doesn't approve of the oma across
the way. The woman across the
way has a son who isn't doing just
as he should and she knows it, and
tries to pretend she doesn't. and the
Stamp Woman thinks she ought to
telephone about it, and ask US TO
sympathize with her, and when the
woman across the way gave a little
tea the other day and had some
flowers and tried to make herself
believe she was having a good time,
the Stamp Woman wouldn't go.
She stayed at home-and disap-
proved.
There's a pretty girl in our neigh
borhood who has more admirers
than she can always manase dis
creetly.
Dear me. how the Stamp Woman
does disapprove of her. and yet she's
such a pretty, s~oft-eyed, smiling lit
tie thing-oh, yes. / know she hasn't
the wisdom OF Solomon or the dig
nifty OF Juno, but I can't help want
ing TO grab her and give her a good
squeeze every time I see her.
The Stamp Woman does not APP
prove of me for feeling like that;
she thinks 1 show a lack Of princi-
pie.
The ministers wife is a musician
and sometimes she practices in the
morning before the house is quite
tidy.
Old and CarewOrn.
, I love 20 hear her singing, bless
her generous heart. she sings out OF
the fulness OF her Joy in living. but
the Stamp Woman does not approve
OF her: she thinks the singing so
early in the morning must be q
great cross 10 the minister.
She limited something like that 20
h minister the other day. and he
didn't like IL. and he showed that he
didn't like il.
Since then the Stamp Woman has
not approved Of the minister.
I don't wonder ,he Stamp Woman
looks old and before her
time.
I'd hate 10 feel so responsible for
people all the time-wouldn't you?
