OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES


To your mother has been
teaching you how to use the
~ fireescape, children. Well,
that's a very good idea, because
then, If you ever were in danger,
you would know how to take care
of yourselves and go about it nat
urally without being awkward.
All mothers are pretty much
alike, I find. Only the other day

and I'll tell you how she did it..
happened to look out OF the
window into the yard next door.
Surrounding the yard was a high
wooden fence with a flat board
running along the top. Against
the fence were growing some
pretty vines which ran right up
to the top
There at the bottom Of the
vine was big, gray pussy-cat,
and with her was her baby. He
was a cute little fellow with n
BLACK, shining coat which glis-
tened in the sunlight ..
She was evidently trying to get
him to do something, but he
didn't seem very anxious to do it.
He would look up at his mother
and meow as if to say:
Don't make me do this, moth
or. can't"
And then she would lick his
face and give a purring cry of
encouragement, as if she said:
NOW don't be afraid. my dear.
You Just do what mother tells
you. won't let. any harm come
to you
This kept up for some time, and
finally the mother cat became
impatient and gave the kitten a
sharp cuff-but, of course, a gen
tie one-on the side of his little
round head. could just imagine
her impatiently saying:
Now stop this nonsense and
do exactly what / tell your

ears--and up the vine scrambled
the little fellow with his mother
close at his heels, meowing en-
couragingly.
The kitten got on the top of
the fence and balanced himself
with great difficulty, but the
mother cat waited a moment
while he rested and then she af-
fectionately licked his head and
his back until he got his breath.
Then started the kittens first
lesson in fence walking.
The mother cat nudged her
baby and started to push him
along in front of her. His little
legs seemed rather wfggly and
he wobbled as he walked along
the fence.
Every once In a while he
would stop and look back at his
mother, but she would give him
another poke and make him start
again.
When they reached the end of
the fence, the mother cat allowed
her baby to rest a little while
and then started him off again.
I had to go out then, but 1
hated to leave the window be-
cause it was such a funny sight.
Several days after that looked
for them again and, sure enough,
there was the kitten walking
along the fence as big as life
with his tail straight up in the
air, and with all the assurance in
the world as he placed each little
soft paw down carefully.
Behind him walked his mother
proudly. She had taught him
how to take care of himself in
case a big dog should run into
the yard and get after him.
This must have been a great
relief to her to know that her
dear little kitten could take care
of himself, but just as it is to your
mother since she knows that YOU
can run down the fire-escape with.

SINCERE.
IT is hard for a girl to forget
her first love. 1t isn't so
much the man you remember as
your first deep emotions. Don't
worry about what is only the ghost
of love that would probably mean
nothing to you now. Conquer your
tendency to recall, to make COM
parsons and to dwell on what is
now out of your life. Memories
often brighten as they take their
flight" You recall the good qualitis
of the man, with whom you proved
you could not get on But if you
think of the things which caused
you to separate you will prob.
ably find that the love of the past
isn't worth remembering in COM
parison with the understanding,
sympathy and devotion of the
present.
