What have those men got to
do with SOUP" exclaimed Bobby.
They're gathering the nests"
said I.
Bobby was breathless as he
watched the men loosening the
little spongelike knobs from the
rocks.
Those are swifts' nests" I ex-
planned. THE swift Is first
cousin to our swallows. They
build their nests against the rocks
and fasten the Pieces Of seaweed
which they use to make them
with a kind Of mucilage, which
the mother bird has in glands in
her throat. When she builds a.
nest, the mother bird flutters
there and fastens her nest tightly.
You see what hard work it is for
the men to get them loose?
We'll. that soup is certainly
good. But it seems a shame to
take a bird house to make It.

Bunny. They tell me that the
swifts don't care a bit; that thew
come back to these same rocks
in hundreds year after year"
I'm glad Of that" said Bobby.
"They may like to build new
houses-just like men do. What
do you think. Foxy Grandpa??"
II wouldn't be surprised If YOU
were right, Bobby" l answered.

Bobby as he sat eating

But when we went to our rooms

Tell me about the soup, Foxy
Grandpa. Are you sure Bunny
wasn't fooling us when he said it
was birds nest soup?"
Indeed, he wasn't, Bobby" I
declared. And tomorrow I'll
take you out to see some natives
gathering the nests. You know,
that soup is considered a great
dellcacy in China. And our host
was giving us the finest dish he
could offer when he served that
soup. It's very expensive"

a voice speaking to her, just
when she had been so sure that
there wasn't any voice she could
possibly expect to hear.
She sat up marveling, ana
struck another note. Into the
dead, stagnant air Of the room
and into her loneliness, 1t sang
out bravely, the same living
voice. thrilling and speaking to
her. She struck a chord, aston
ished at what she heard in it
all those separate voices, each
one rich and true and strong and
different from the others, and
all shouting together in glorious
friendliness. That's the way
things ought to be-" thought
Marise, that's the way people
ought to be-" But, oh, how
little they were like that! But
here was a world where she
could always make it come true,
where she could have that sing
ing-together any time she wished
to make it for herself.
She struck more chords, her
fingers finding the keys with the
second-nature sureness, learned
in her months Of dreary practice.
She listened to the sounds,
shaken and transported to hear
how they flooded the barren emp
tiness of the room with glory,
how they filled her heart full,
full Of happiness only If
she were happy, why was she
crying, the tears running as fast
as they could down her cheeks?
This was one of the remem-
bered moments which brought
nothing but a pang of JOY to
Marise. When it came, the world
about her frightened.

There was another. one Of those
which came very seldom, which
brought something deeper than
pain or Joy. This was the recol-

the other side Of the field to
bring her lunch and eat with
them. She and Soeur Ste. Lucie
got into gales Of laughter in
which Marise Joined with all her
heart, although she didn't always
quite see what the joke was.
Then they had their dessert, a
triangle of creamy Camembert

chairs, and thought to herself
that it wasn't any worse to see
them empty than to see the
people that usually sat on them
not one who could help a little
girl to be more happy. There
wasn't a single person she knew
whom she'd wish sitting there
now, unless 1t might be Cousin
Hetty! Marise felt a knot come
in her throat, and the corners of
her mouth began to tremble. She
would like to get up in Cousin
Hetty's lap again.
But Cousin Hetty was not there.
There was nothing there but the
circle of unfriendly chairs and
tables and the empty, silent room.
The trembling of her lips got
worse; Marise was afraid she was
going to cry. She turned round
on the piano stool, put one arm
up on the music which stood
there. and hid her face in it. She
was not crying; though she
wished she could, because the
ache in her heart and the knot
in her throat hurt too much.
The Silence.
The silent, motionless room
stood aloof and meaningless about
the silent, motionless child. Marise
pressed her face closer against
her arm. She was trembling now,
all over her body.
The silence was intense.
And then it seemed to her that
the silence had been broken by
a voice, a beautiful, quivering
voice, deep and true, which went
straight to her heart, as though
some one had spoken a strong,
loving word. At the sound she
stopped trembling and sat motion
less.
Before she could draw her
breath in wonder she knew what
It had been only a note
Of music. Her own hand falling
on key Of the piano had struck
a note, which was even then
echoing in her ears.
But the first impression was
ineffaceable. That, too, rang in
her ears. It seemed as though it
was the first time she had ever
heard a note of music. Really,
really, that was so. She had
never been still enough before to
hear how a note sounded. How it
rang and rang in the still
ness, its deep vibration stirring

had been awfully nice and jolly,
the way she always was with Ha-
rise, and 1t was fun to start off
with her early in the morning, at
dawn, in the special excursion
train. At Lourdes it was fun, too,
too, really exciting to be in such
a monstrously big crowd, oh,
what a crowd. She heard some
body tell Soeur Ste. Lucie that
there were 10000 pilgrims there
that day. 1t amused Marise very
much to hear them called pill
grims and to think that she and

Like a leaf from fiction

Judging by the many voluntary ex;

A great many women who have tried
different kinds of treatments for such
heads, rough and discolored skin, are
finding Black and White Cleansing
Cream so unusual and so much more
satisfying that its sale together with
other Black and White Beauty Creations
has passed the eight million packages

four years time.
This proves the contention which au-
thorities on skin and beauty have IN ain

Since Black and White Cleansing

at last.

Instantly. something she had
always known she wanted. What
she had written in everybody's
book was, "I wish I could be

and in the empty. cold, echoing
room cried it aloud, ~ wish I
could be happy"
No Answer.
There was no answer from the
stiff stuffed chairs, from the we'll
polished tables, from the black
hole in the fireplace. Marise had
expected no answer, would not
have expected one if her parents
had been there, never expected
one. What answer could father
give, father who apparently never
thought Of such a thing as being
happy, and never hoped for any
thing more than to be a little less
tired and bored. And If Manan
had been there she wouldn't even
have heard what Marise said,
busy as she always was with
thinking something of her own.
Maman wasn't nearly so cheerful
as she had been. What was 1t
Maman was thinking about when
she sat so still and her face got
dark and drawn? Certainly not
about Marise.

looking straight ahead into the
empty room, which looked back at
her, she thought, as though it
had a low opinion Of her and a
very high opinion Of its own i'm
portance and elegance. She knew
she ought to get UP and go into
her own room and study a very
long lesson on the reign of Henri
". But she couldn't seem to get
up the strength to do this, sitting

over this as she poured it out
and said they ought to be saints
at least for day or so, after
drinking Lourdes water with their
lunch, oughtn't they? She was
as polly as could be, anyhow, and
was enjoying herself so much
that she kept Marise laughing
at her jokes all the time. One

What U. S. Was to Furnish.

The excuse for the failure of the
league of nations to function in France
is found at the doors of the United
States. If the United States had been
a member of the league, things would
have been different, according to the
apologists for its failures.
Wars that have devastated Europe
and committed unspeakable cruelties
upon the innocent, almost from the
day the league was organized, would
not have occurred if our country had
Joined it.
If these excuses are valid there is
one obvious conclusion that may be
drawn; we are counted upon, in the
formation of the league, to be the
force that would make it work; we
were to produce the sinews that would
have vitalized its edicts and orders;
it would have been our money and
troops that would have restored eco
nomic equilibrium and enforced peace
at the point Of bayonet That the
league has failed to enforce peace in
Europe is confessed; but to blame that
failure on the absence of the United
States from its membership is a frank
admission that our nation was expect
ed to furnish the force to compel
peace.
