Y0NKERS MATRON MEETS MISTRESS
 OF WHITE HOUSE
But It Was Quite Unex- pected, As Visitor in Washington at Ku Klux Hearing Walked Into Wrong Building.

Yonkers, N Y, Nov. 4-How the first lady of the and' can1e to her rescue when she intruded upon th1 monthly luncheon party of Senators wives duTlng a visit to Washington was told here by Mrs. Harold $. Rob- inson, member of the executive coun- cil of the Girl Scouts in this city.
 Mrs. Robinson said the incident through which she met Mrs. Harding was characteristic of the mistress of the White House: Mrs Robinson Klux Klan hearings in the House of fee building. She left the building at noon for lunch and through error entsred the Senate office building upon her return.
 Seeing a group of fashionabIy- dressed women at lunch she started to leave, but was intercepted by a guard who told hen to return and look around, as Mrs. Harding was among the women present.
 An Act of Impertinence!
 1 StNted to walk about when a woman approached and asked me if I was the wife of a. Senator. You can imagine my feelings when, upon receiving my negative reply, she drew herself up and in penetrating voice said: "Then you are committing an act of great inpr'tinence in being here?'' While I was attempting to eX- plain and apologize I was touched on the ann and a voice asked if I was stranger in the city. I said I was and was startled to hear my interro gator say: Why, then, l would like to extend to you a welcome to Wash ington. I am Mrs. Harding.'
 We talked a few minutes and when was leaving Mrs. Harding in vitetd me to have tea with her the following Friday. I accepted and Mrs. Harding was as gracious as she had been at the time of the unfor tunate occurrence. We discussed the Girl Scout movement, in which Mrs. Harding is intensely interested. "The luncheon party into which l stun bled by mistake is a monthly af- fai given by the wives of Senators and as Mrs Thomas R. Marshall wife of the former Vice -Preside ent was in Washington that day, Mrs. Harding was present.

FRISCO GIRL HOPES ID REGAIN
 HER BEAUTY
Former Dancer, Horribly Burned By Acid, Turns to Famous Mayo Broth CTS,

Denver, Nov. 4-With her face hor- ribly marred as a result of acid burn ing, Miss Flo Lieuallen, of San Fran cisco, as making a heroic struggle to overcome the handicap of poverty and reach Rochester, Minn. where she hopes her ill-shaped features will be corrected by operations at the Mayo Brothers Hospital.
 Miss Leuellen came to Denver en- deavoring to raise sufficient funds to continue her journey to the Minneso- to city, and was aided by a local charitable organization.
 She made the trip from California alone in 9 small automobile, which in terested persons here had overhauled for her. She declared that jealous suitor threw carbolic acid in her face four years ago in San Francisco, "so no one else would have me"
 Unable to obtain work because of the repulsive marks on her features and penniless, Miss Lieuallen de- termined to make her way to Roches- ter where she hopes to regain her beauty. She said she had been prom ised free treatment upon her arrival there.
 In 1917, according to Miss LieuaI- len, she was a t'ta dancer in San Francisco cabaret, having followed the show life of that city from the time she was young girl and able to give recitations.
 When she refused the marriage offer of an edmirer. she says, her suitor became enraged and flung acid in her face with the statement that if he "couldn't have her no one else could."
 The girls face and throat were hor- rib1y dishgured. and several opera tions were necessary to save her life and eyesight.

there to live only the fall before.
But, of course, the twins didn't know
this. They supposed she always had
lived there
The twins drew very close together
and stood up that they might better
stare in every direction. They were
little frightened at the thought that
big stranger might be near. Then
they remembered that Mother Bear
was only little way off. and at once
stranger. Everything about them
seemed just as it should be. They
cooked their little ears to listen. All
they heard was the sound of Mother
Bears great claws tearing open that
old stump, the cawing of Blacky the
Crow far in the distance, the gurgle
of the Laughing Brook and the whis-
pering of the Merry Little Breezes in
the tree-topS.
Now. not even Peter Rabbit has
more curiosity than has little Bear.
Presently Boxer dropped down to all
fours and approached that footprint.
Already he had learned that his ears
are better than his eyes and his nose
is better than his ears. His eyes had
told him nothing. His ears had told
nose.
He shifted at that footprint and the
hair along his shoulders rose a little.
His nose told him that that footprint
was made by a Bear he neVeH had
seen. There wasn't any question about
it. 1t told him that that stranger had
passed that way only a short time be-
fore. A great desire to see that
stranger took possession of Boxer.
Curiosity was stronger than fear.
Lets follow his tracks: perhaps we
can see him." whispered Boxer to
Woof-Woof and started along with
his nose to the ground.
Now, whatever one twin did the
other did. So Woof-Woof followed
her brother. One behind the other,
their noses to the ground, the twins
stole through the Green Forest. Every
once in a while Boxer sat up to look
and listen. When he did this Woof-
Woof did the same thing. 1t was very
exciting. 1t was SO exciting that they
quite forgot Mother Bear and that
they had been told not to go away.
So they got further and further from
where Mother Bear was at work.
And then, without any warning at
all, a great Bear stepped out from be-
hind a fallen tree. He wore black
coat and he was just about the size
of Mother Bear. OF course, you know
who it vast was Buster Bear. For
the first time in their short lives the
twins saw their father and he saw
them. But the twins didn't know that
he was their father and he didn't know
that they were his children. Things
like that happen in the Green Forest.

Toys That Help.

Most every woman has a theory as
to what sort of toys a child should
or should not have. Usually those the
ories are stronger and better de-
fined before she has had any children
in her own household. She may have
thought that she could be a commit
tee of one to pass upon toys that came
within reach of her own children. but
she finds this impossible. She finds
she cannot, and when it comes right
down to it she wouldn't want to re-
ject some of the less possible of the
toys offered by relatives and friends.
Still undoubtedly there is much folly
of stupid and inappropriate toys for
children. The worst of them all are
the toys that are SO fragilely made
that they break easily. Many of the
attractive trifieS for children that
come to US from Japan have this
fault They are made of the flimsi est
material, the parts are attached loose
ly. They are made to look at, not to
be played with, to be sold quickly for
profit The child does not find pleas
ure in such toys. They are con-
slant source of disappointment.
One good way to select toys for
other children is to think of the toys
that have lasted the longest and prov
ed the most pleasurable to your own
children. For children are more alike
in these matters than we think
OF course there must be a few tNvS
or favors of fieeting durability. But

can be no regrets and no seedlings
when they have been crushed or
broken.
