HOW DINNER PARTY ENDED
AT SCREAM OF \ FRIGHT
ENED CHILD.

Mother, please just a half-hour
longer"
Not a half-hour. not even five
minutes You must come TO bed
now, Marion"
Lillian Underwood and her little
daughter Marion stood near the
door in our living room. a pretty
picture Of tender maternal author
ity and childish procrastination,
Marion had been allowed 10 sit UP
for the dinner 1 had given in honor
Of Robert Savarin. a special dispen-
sation which the combined en-
treaties of Dicky, Robert Savarin
and had wrung reluctantly from
lillian, and like any other child she
wanted TO prolong her freedom.
But Lillian was adamant, and SO
Marion reluctantly began her good
by. She shook hands sedately with
Mrs. Durkee. Alfred Durkee and
Robert Savarin. and then threw her
arms around my neck for the 'ebear
hug she always gives me. AS she
released me she glanced at Robert
SaVarin. who was watching her with
all the hunger Of denied fatherhood
in his eyes. something in the child :
heart must have responded to the
unspOken appeal Of the man. for
she dashed over TO him, clasped her
arms around his neck, and put up
hre lips TO be kissed. The mans
face was radiant as he kissed her
tenderly. and then with unwofted
Shyness she ran back to her mother
Wen call that a low down
deal Marion!" Dicky said. You've
never given me kiss. and I'VE
known you much longer time than
Mr.. SavaTin has"
And then from the childish lips
came an answer which amused the
Durkees and Dicky, but which star
tied me into belief thF a chnd's
intuition goes pretty generally
straight to the mark of things.
You don't need it," she said en-
phasizing the pronoun distinctly.
and turning, went out OF the door
with her mother
Robert Savarin smiled tenderIv.
What tender-hearted little
thing she is" he said.
She ought to be-" Dicky re-
turned. Her mother has the big
Sest heart in the world"
Then the conversation insensibly
drifted 70 anecdotes of Lillian and
the numberless ways in which she
had proved her possession of the
biggest heart" From that it was
but step to her great love for her
child. and the JOY that we all felt
in Mdrion's restoration TO her
mother.
Some Startling Contrasts.
Lillian always put Marion TO bed
herself. tucked her in and "cuddled"
her for a little while. so that it was
some time before she returned TO
