MOVE TO REVISE CALENDAR
Advocates Of Change Will Bring the
Matter to Attention of League
Of Nations.

One Of the first projects TO be laid
before the League Of Nations. when 1t
gets ready for new business, is n TO
revise the calendar and make 1t uni
form throughout the world. Bureau
officials of the United States, Swizer-
land and Great Britain got into touch
with church officials before the war on
the subject of calendar revision, and
have kept up consideration of the mat
ter since. Church leaders say an
agreement has been reached and a
uniform report is nearly ready to go
10 the league.
The calendar has not been revised
before because of objections from the
churches to dates for the great re-
iigious feasts. These objections are
said to be removed. A fixed date for
Easter, the adding OF a thirteenth
month, the making Of every week be-
gin with "a Sunday and having exactly
% days in each month-these are the
main features agreed on. Church peo-
pie ~favorlng the revision say that IL
the league itself cannot act, it can
designate a calendar congress to do
so, TO sit Mt Geneva.

CHAPTER ~.
Aunty Rose Unbends-

There never was lovelier place for
little girl-to say nothing of a dog
to play in than the yard about the
Stagg homestead; and this Carolyn
May confided to Aunty Rose one fore
noon after her arrival at The Cor
ners.
Behind the house the yard sloped
down to a broad, calmly flowing
brook. Here the goose and duck pens
were fenced off, for Aunty Rose would
not allow the web-footed fowl to wan
der at large. as did the other poultry.
1t was difficult for Prince to learn
that none of those feathered folk were
to be molested.
There was matchmaking oak
tree on a knoll overlooking the brook.
Around its trunk Uncle Joe had built
seat. Carolyn May found this a
grand place to sit and dream, while
Prince lay at her feet.
When they saw Aunty Rose in her
sunbonnet going toward the fenced-in
garden they both jumped up and
bounded down the slope after her. 1t
was just here at the corner of the
garden fence that Carolyn May had
her first adventure.
Prince, of course, disturbed the Sc
renity of the poultry. The hens went
shrieking one way, the guinea fowl
lifted up their voices in angry chat
ter, the turkey hens scurried to cover,
but the turkey cock, General Boil
var, a big, white Holland fowl, was
not to have his dignity disturbed and
his courage impugned by any four
footed creature with waggish ears and
the stump of tail.

"But he pays you; Chet." his mother

apt to be different"
"How different, Chet?" she asked,
puzzled.
"You know Mr.. Stages as hard as
nails-as hard as the goods he SELLS"
declared the gawky boy. mind you,
he don't do nothin' mean. That amt
his way. But he don't seem to have
mite of interest in anything but his
shop. Now, it seems to me, this little
niece Is bound to wake him up. He
calls her sHannah's Car'lyn.'"
Hannah Stagg was his only sister,"
said Mrs. Gormley softly. 81 remem-
Der her."
"And she's just died, or something,
and left this little girl" Chef contin-
ued. "Mr. Stages bound to think of
something now besides business. And
mebbe he'll need me more. And I'll
get chance to show him I'm worth
something to him. SO, by and by, he'll
put me forward in the business" said
the boy, his homely face glowing.
"Who knows? Mebbe it'll be Stage &
Gormley over the door one of these
days. Stranger things have hap
pened."
Perhaps even Chetwood's assurance
would have been quenched had he just
then known the thoughts In the hard
