~ RACE DALRYMPLE lived
in that period Of worlds
" history when life was a
romanic-or tragedy.
She was born in Scotland in
1850, the daughter Of Hugh Dali
rymple, attorney general to the
Grenadas. In any assemblage
of women her beauty and charm
of manner outclassed them ell.
From her fluffy head to her
dainty toes. Grace was thorough
bred.
At her fathers London house.
when only fifteen, she met Sir
John Elliot who, charmed with
her loneliness, Immediately made
her an offer of marriage. Grace
thought only Of the advantage OF
being Lady" Elliot and accepted.
But more than a generation lay
between them and Sir Johns lag
ging footsteps could not keep
pace with her dancing feet.
AS Lady Elliot, with entree to
fashionable society, she found
many admirers; it was inevitable
that she would become entangled
in an intrigue. Sir John refused
to take 1t like gentleman. He
aired his grievance, he divorced
Grace and he made the core
spondent pay 10000 pounds for
the indiscretion.
Her scandalized family whisked
her out of England and into a
French convent; but a little later
she reappeared as the protese OF
Lord and Lady Cholmondeiey.
The Prince of Wales, who had al
ready fallen in love with her
picture, from their first meeting
was enthralled by her beauty.
And Grace was fascinated by the
glamour that surrounds crown
prince.

THE NORMAL
CHILD
BY Brice BeIden, M. D.

A CHILD should not be- too
"a much by himself; he must
4 have comradeship. Other
wise he becomes too much alb.
sorbed in his own fancies and
resents being disturbed in this
preoccupation; thus he is called
q morose child, without due con.
slderation as to why he is morose.
Such a child will be oversensi-
tive with respect to hard knocks
and disappointments of one sort
or another, and will resent and
brood over them.
The practical point is that such
q child becomes a candidate for
mental trouble In later life.
All this Is obviated If the child
can live and play with other chill.
dren. The play should be vigor.
GUS and aggressive, the hard
knocks and disappointments be.
ing taken without malice. This
"give-and-take" school will teach
the child to be tolerant and good
natured.
If children hear much from
their elders about illnesses and
symptoms, and especially about
nervousness" they will be unfor-
tunately influenced and probably
will adopt" many OF their elders
ailments. The outlook of children
upon life ought to be healthful,
not related to disease. They
should be interested in whole
some play and other cheerful sub
jects.
Many children are thought to
be nervous by their parents who
simply are full Of vitality and
Vivacity. A healthy child ought
to reveal an exuberant energy. It
Is up to the parents, if they are
intelligent, to provide suitable
outlets for this OVERLOOKING en-
energy.
If parents insist upon interpret
ing the normal activity of their
children as nervousness, they
should at least desist from talk
ing about nerves in the presence
of the children. because of their
impressionableness and self-con-
seriousness.
An atmosphere Of sorrow, re.
gret or fear is most injurious to
child nature. See that you safe.
guard your child's nervous sys-
tenn.
