Muriel understood. but she gave no sign that she thought any circum- stance was different from what John had told her. She puckered her brows in thought tor a moment, then said: 4-.t ....
 q know ju-t the place for him. A couple in the same apartment house with mother and me just lost their little boy, about this boys age. They are poor. but refined, nice people in every way. I am sure they will be delighted to Ike him, if I can get off I will go there right away and find out"
 She easily got permission to leave the store and went with John and little Kenneth. Before she returned. or John had gone to his office. little Kenneth had been welcomed with open arms, arrangements had been made whereby John was to pay what seemed a ridiculously small sum for his keep. and the boy had been left sitting happily on his foster mothers lap.
 Neither John nor Muriel said much as they left the home that was to be the boys as soon as John could at tend to a few necessary preliminaries. When they separated in the street John held her hand for just a mom- ent.
 You are one in thousand. Muriel. you never disappoint a fellow, he finished boyishly.
 Well. I hope you put that boy in a home" Marcia said that evening, meaning some institution.
 Yes, I put him in home" The boy. what he had done for him, was

his feeling for MurieI. although he in no wise allowed himself to think of blaming Marcia Marcia was-just Marcia.
 T must have some new dining room furniture, John. I saw some yester- day when was shopping with Claire. Ours is dreadfrlly old fashioned. They aren't using round tables any more"
 But, Marcia"
 NO objections. please You could very well afford to take a boy to bring up. You can afford to give me a new dining room sute. can get rid of the old one in part payment" And because he did intend to do for the boy, even though secretly, John gave Marcia the money for. the fur niture they did not need He had a feeling that he could not endure a scene because of the orphan boy. and knowing Marcia. her reference to Kenneth meant that she would cse the child. the expense he would have been, as a lever to get what she wanted.

his secret and Muriers. He would not share it with Marcia.
 That's where re belongs"
 "Yes, he is where he belongs. in a home" That ended all talk of the boy until one night when they were giving a dinner party. Marcia re- garded their guests with the story of how John had brought home red headed boy expecting her to keep him. They all seemed to think it uproariousIy funny.
 But it gave John a new interest in life, more intense interest because it was shared by Muriel Doran. He worked even harder now. but did not give way so easily to Marcia's de- mands when she urged him to leave that old desk {, go out with her. He had the boy to care for, later to educate.
 {. Muriel kept close watch of Ken ' neth in his new home. and told of Mrs, Turner's kindness to the little chap in a way that made John feel at rest about the boy. He had soon ceased to grieve for his own mother, Mrs Turner had been so quick in sensing his needs and filling them by showering the mother love he needed upon him.
 Often John went out of his way to stop and play with Kenneth. who called him Uncle John and loved him deeply Nearly always there was a new toy, a book. some little gift in his hand. Really the com panionship of the boy was making John younger. smoothing the lines of care from his face because of the urge of youth to be youthful.
 Kenneth was an added bond be- tween John Aidrich and Muriel De- ran. Had Marcia known of the feel ing Muriers ready help had awakened in John. the comparison he could not avoid making she would not have re- counted so gaily what she called a ridiculous actioE Tn expecting her to take the boy into her home Now when John thought of AIuriel there came into his mind the day she had taken the boy to her heart and helped him find a real home for the l little waif. She had taken Kenneth in her arms. had mothered him with tears in her eyes for his pitiful condi- ton. while Marcia, under the same circumstances. had angrily dismissed him. some women are potential moth CTS, l. guess. others never could be real mothers" he said to himself as he compared the two women, their 1 actions towar.. the child.
 This potential motherhood in Muriel appealed strongly to the child love in John- It strengthened dangerously

cHATTERER GETS ANoTHE ER
 SURPRISE

Chatterer the Red Squirrel had never had so many surprises-good surprises-in all his life as since the day he had been caught in a trap in Farmer Browns corn crib. In the first place, it had been a great sur prise to him that he had not been given to Black Pussy the Cat, as he had fully expected to be. Then had come the even greater surprise of finding that Farmer Browns boy was ever and ever so much nicer than he. had thought. A later sur prise had been the wire wheel in his cage, so that he could run to his hearts content. It was such pleasant and wholly unexpected sur prise it had quite changed Chatter boy.
 The fact is, Chatterer could have been truly happy but for one thing he was a prisoner. Yes, sir, he was a prisoner, and he couldn't forget it for one minute while he was awake. He used to watch Farmer Browns boy and wish with all his might that he could make him understand how dreadful it was to be in prison. But Farmer Browns boy couldn't under stand what Chatterer said no matter how hard Chatterer tried to make him. He seemed to think. that Chat terer was happy. He just didn't understand that not all the good things in the world could make up for loss of freedom-that it is better to be free, though hungry and cold, than in a prison with every comfort.
 Chatterer had stood. it pretty well and made the best of things until. Sammy Jay had found him, and Reddy Fox had made fun of him. and Peter Rabbit had peeped at him from behind the old stone wall. The very sight of them going where they pleased and when they pleased had been too much for Chatterer, and such a great longing for the Green Forest. and the Old Orchard filled his heart that he could think of nothing else. He just sat in a corner of lis cage and looked as miserable IS he felt. He lost his appetite. In vain Farmer Browns boy brought ilim the fattest nuts and other dainties. He just couldn't eat for the great long ing for freedom that filled his heart until it seemed ready to burst. He no longer. cared to run in that new wire wheel which had given him so much pleasure at first. He was nome sick. and he just couldn't help it. Farmer Browns boy noticed it, and his face grew sober and thoughtful. He watched Chatterer when the lat ter didn't know that he was about, and if he couldn't understand Chat terer's talk he could understand Chatterers actions, and knew that he was unhappy, and guessed why. One morning Chatterer did not come out of his holly stump, as he usually did when his cage was placed on the shelf outside the farmhouse door, He just didn't feel like it. He stayed curled up in his bed for .ong, long

time, too sad and miserable to move. At last he crawled up and peeped out of his little round doorway Chat terer gave a little gasp and then rubbed his eyes. Was he dreaming? He scrambled out in a hurry and peeped through the wires of his cage. Then he rubbed his eyes again and rushed over to the other side of the cage for another look His cage wasn't on the usual shelf at all. It was on the snow covered stone wall on the edge of the Old Orchard:
 s Chatterer was so excited he didn't know what to do. He raced around the cage. Then he jumped into the

NEW YORK-No matter how pretty the blouse. no matter how pretty the hat, the beauty's lost, all lost, l' there isn't some harmoniz- ing element.
 As for instance this Idaire hat and Erpf and Garbe blouse-there's hint of Russia about each of them, so they look as if they were made for each ether!
 The hat is a clever tricorn, braided in conventional design, smart of line and vastly becoming to the rather round face.
 The blouse-hand dyed silk and hand made-is a decorative affair, colorful in itself and touched up with bit of Russian peasant embroidery.
 The neck, instead of hooking or buttoning, ties with self color silken ties finished with fascinating little balls.

Measurements of this so-calHd standard figure were adopted by pat tern m9kers more than 50 years ago and the figure of the modern woman is much different.
 Insurance statistics say 6s per cent of American women are less than five feet five and one-half inches high. So the short woman, not the perfect s6, is the standard American woman.
 According to the old perfect S6' standard, 95 per cent of the women nowadays are misfits. And that's what keeps me busy.

 That's Madame Edna Renauld. But she's not a bookkeeper-
 Not a bank teller

 She's a designer of frocks for ''misfits" for a Cleveland garment manufacturing concern.
 Madame Renauld has made a study of women's figures for ten years. Here's how she boils down her knowledge for you:

The usual way of making a dress for a small woman has been to take a 36 pattern and grade down two inches all around.
 That fails to take into considera- tion that the small woman usually has a short waist and wide shoulder spread"
 Madame Renauld can put the same dress on three types of women and have it fit-without alteration.
 She makes four sizes for quantity production, 141z. 1619. 1si2 and 2Ol3. But they're all really size 16k and will ii. a short girl. medium sized girl or tall girl without being changed.

And right then he dis covered something he hadn't noticed before The little door in the top of his cage was open, It must be that Farmer Browns boy had forgotten to close it when he put in Chatterers s breakfast. Chatterer forgot that he was tired. Like a little red flash he was outside and whisking along the snow covered stone wall straight for his home in the Old Orchard.
 "Chickareel Chickaree. Chicka- reel" he shouted as he ran.
 ''Ha, ha, ha, Go it, you little red scamp." shouted a voice behind him.
 Then Chatterer knew that Farmer Browns boy had not left the little door open by mistake, but had given him his freedom, and right then he knew that they were going to be the best of friends.
