Little Stories For Bedtime
BROTHER NORTH WIND KNOWS
 NO PITY
fpy rHoRNToN BURaEss

The wind bloweth hard; the wind blow
 eth cold;
 Pity the hungry; pity the old. lnOWN from the far Northland swept rough Brother North Wind
 and he roared and he shouted, and the sound of his coming was heard while yet he was a long way off. and all who heard it shivered. Yes sir, all the little people of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows shivered and shook at the sound. That is, all those did who were not fast asleep like John ny Chuck and Buster Bear and Bobby Coon. To them the coming of rough Brother North Wind meant nothing at all, but to the others, those who had to go about every day looking for food, it meant a great deal, great deal of dis comfort and, perhaps, some suffering. You see, they knew that he was driving before him a great storm, and a storm at this time of year means snow and sleet and ice.
 So all the little people who were awake hurried to fill their stomachs, for there was no knowing when they would have another chance, and they must have food if they would keep warm. And because it was winter food was hard to find and they wondered with sinking hearts how long the storm would last and if they would become so hungry that they would just have to go hunting for more before the storm was over.
 The day grew dark and great clouds hurried down from the north, driven by rough Brother North Wind. Fine white snow began to hiss abong the branches of the trees. Faster and faster it hissed down and then with howl and a roar rough Brother North Wind ar- rived and drove it before him in such clouds that all the little people fled has tily for the snuggest, warmest shelters they could find. Peter and Mrs. Peter Rabbit were glad to crawl down in certain old hole in the heart of the dear Old Brier Patch. where they would, at least. be warm. Tommy Tit the Chickadee and Drummer the Woodpeck- CT each crept into hollow tree. Mrs. Grouse crept under a pile of brush in a hollow in the Green Forest. Bob White and Mrs. Bob huddled together under the shelter Farmer Browns Boy had built for them in the far corner of the Old Orchard. Sammy Jay tried to find shelter and comfort in a big hemlock tree. but couldn't and finally crept into a hollow where the snow could not reach him. Even Reddy and Granny Fox were glad to crawl down in their house and stay there.
 All the rest of that day and all the night and all the next day rough Broth CT North Wind roared and howled through the Gren Forest and over the Green Meadows. He shrieked through the treetops. He broke off great branches. He blew over dead trees. He piled the snow in great drifts. He drove it into every crack and cranny he could find. And all the time he shouted l.. ~Inn.

BROADWAY BOWS TO OBsCENITY
Nude Women And Suggestive Lines In
 Many New York Shows

Few intelligent people want censor ship of books or plays, but on the other hand obscene writing should no more be put forward as book than a ''cooch' should be called a play. When this is done in the guise of artistic endeavOr it is time for the policeman's mace and the constables boot.
 This has been the most suspicious season of all in New York for audacious smut. It started off with the reduc- ton of lonely prairie boy by sinuOus city slicker-ess and developed into in- numerable qualifications of hideous clinical abnormalitics.
 Ziegfeld has never been backward in his display of naked flesh, but this year he tries to Outdo former efforts. One of his comedians shoots the clothes off q beauteOus lady, leaving her in the frailest of gauge.
 These are just a few of tke high spots of smut Cnclothed girls are hanging from chandeliers, and there are innum- erable curtains of nude femininity. Every revue has yelled references to the foulest phases of degeneracy.

Welcoming The Stranger At
 Your Gate
By SOPHIE IRENE LEOB "Ye who enter
 This wide 0nen rafA.

This wide open gate, None come too early, Nor depart too late" " HIS is the sign read while going through the heart of a forest ont
 day. The gateway led into the home of some genial person, and as became acquainted with her realized why she had put up this old Welsh in. scription.
 As we travel hither and yon, we find many gateways, but most of them show "Private-Keep out" or some such line that repels any intrusion. I found that the woman who had this gateway had travelled widely and seen much of the world and its work. She realized that you have but little while to stay-and you might just as we'll make people welcome and be hos pitable, instead of crawling. into your shell and closing yourself up with iron fences.
 And so some of us do this in every. day life. We make no gateway to our hearts or to our minds for those who would come in and be friendly.

 But there is the wholesome one-he who has not closed his gate-who is most stranger. Perhaps-who knows ?-that ~k- ha rr, T guise, some one who may bring sweet things worth while.
 You may have all the assets in the world, and all the luxuries that money can buy. But there is nothing that really strengthens the soul and is more lasting in buoying up the spirit than the clasp of a sympathetic hand--a voice that reassures, telling you that you are hospitable and kind and gracious.

 I recall to mind a little woman and her daughter. She was a seamstress- made beautiful embroideries, while her daughter washed clothes-that is, did up" very fine lingerie and sheer dresses for wealthy people.
 do not know of two people in the world who led a more beautiful life than these two. Their home-adelightfu little cottage, surrounded by beautiful flowers, in a small town-was the acme of cleanliness and real art-yes, art Lbecause they had inherent, taste and breeding and could make simple things appear very charming indeed.
 You never can tell who may pass through your portal, 50 don't shut the door too tightly. Leave it ajar-take your chance. For who knows?-a rare soul may find his way to you.

 Raggedy Ann wiggled her left shoe button eye at Raggedy Andy as much as to say, "Now shall try to fool the Witches; you must keep still!" Then she said to Heezy the Witch, You must let us go, for we wish to eat some of these cream puffs :"

Listening In On Foe

You can just imagine! hadn't time for any dinner except dessert before rushed upstairs to dress. There was not minute to waste, so instead of get ting into that new Nile green gown that I'd planned to wear slipped into my old henna one that makes me look like a beet when I've been outdoors all after noon and my color is high. But with an old man like Prof. Montjoy in charge and introduced him ence, if were properly admiring. I did up my hair any way to get it neat, threw on a cloak and rushed for a trolley.
 "And then of course, the trolley was late so that reached the clubrooms about ten minutes after the meeting should have begun. But the place had been lighted up and the folks seemed to be having a good time.
 Somebody had brought the best-look- ing man you ever saw and he was the center of a group and evidently the life of the party. wondered how anyone like that cared to come and hear about the psychology of anything whatever, when up rushed Mattie Best and said, Oh Miss Eve, hope you don't mind, but you weren't here so I opened up the room and turned on the lights and I took Prof. Montjoy in charge and intro duced him to some of the members so he wouldn't mind waiting
 Naturally, couldn't object, but I asked Mattie where she had slowed the professor. And if she didn't walk up to that stunning man across the room and hiring him over

MORE STUDENT THAN SEEK
Hussein of Hedjaz Lost Kingdom
 Through His UnpOpularity

HuSSein of the HedJaZ mas lost ms kingdom largely through his unpopu- larity with his own people, and perhaps one thing which contributed to this un- popularity was the result of his Turkish education.
 He was, of course, born in Constanti- nople, and it has been recorded of him that he conveyed the impression rather of a Turkish student than of an Arab sheik. The old mans desire was al ways to be recognized as the king of Arabia, and he tried unsuccessfully to style himself King of the Arab Lands"
 According to great authority on the Arab races who visited Hussein during the war, "all attempts to argue him out of this position were met by complete and sufficient retort that it would be much easier to become king of the Arabs by dint of being so addressed than to earn the right of being so ad dressed by becoming king of the Arabs" Manchester Guardian.

Even though Mir. Fixus was fat, he could run very fast, so he ran Salong be- side them as Ragge- dy Ann and Raggedy Andy rode upon the back of the magical hobby horse.
 They were escap- ing from Heezy the Witch and Hazel Hagg, who were anx. ious to capture the Raggedys and take their candy heart.
 ' ou S e e, the W i t c h es thought Raggedy Andy had a magic candy heart. because he had worn a little red cap he had found in a red box in MT. Fixus' shop.
 The red cap had made Raggedy Andy invisible and he had made the Witches howl while t h y could not see him.
 So the Witches thought it was Rag gedy Andy who had a candy heart in stead of Raggedy Ann.

Men are seldom offenders in this mat ter. It is unusual to find man who is not on time for his appointments. Part ly because their business life has trained them to better sense of responsibility a little because custom and etiquette de- crees that their lateness is less easily pardOned than a woman's, and let us frankly confess, largely because they seldom have this particular form of ego tism.

Not being on time is nothing but n form of egotSm with most of us. Some of us are late because we do not like to wait ourselves. We want to make sure the other person will get there first. Others of us are carried away by the interests of the moment and forget the person who is waiting for us.
 The last and the worst type is the woman who is late because eith- CT consciously or uncOnsciOusly she thinks it will increase her own im- pOrtance. She is staging an effect and likes the picture of herself (as she sees it) watched and waited fOr-the last to arrive. The star part and good entrance is what she is after It is very cheap and obvious but so long as people wait for her she will continue in the pleasing deluslOn of her own inn pOrtanCe and effect.

WHY ARE YOU LATE9

TN A magazine story have just fin
 ished girl was very late for an en-
 gagement. "Well," she said airily to the waiting man, "you know I never am on time!"
 "You would have been," said the man coldly, "if had been an express train" And that precisely sums up the situa- tion of most of us who are never on time.
 We are not on time because we do not mind keeping other people waiting. If it is anything vital to our happiness or convenience-a train to be caught or a bargain to be had-we manage to turn up on the minute. The person who is really constitutionally devoid of a sense of time is in naother class. Their late ness is not selective. It incOnveniences them as much as it does others. They really do lose trains and miss bargains.
 Ask the average woman who is habit ually late how many times she has lost trains and she will usually tell you with pride she has never missed a train in her life. Nor has she. She knows they will not wait for her.

"And what do you suppose he did?
 "Called me up the night before the meeting to say he had such a cold he could hardly talk and he'd asked the chief of his department, Prof. Montjoy, to speak in his place. was awfully disappointed, as you can imagine. had heard of Prof. Montjoy and thought he must be a very old man indeed, as he has such a vast reputation.
 "Well, I went out skating next after noon and it was pretty late when I got home to dinner because Tommy Dexter had raced me down the river and when we got to the bend we were so tired we just had to stop and get a chowder at the inn there and it was nearly 6 when I suddenly realized that had to be at that club meeting by 8.
 When I reached home mother was a bit curt and said that the club secre- tary had phoned she would be delayed and must be sure to get there early to open up the hall and turn on the light.

AN OFFICIAL TRAGEDY

<<DON'T ever let anybody persuade ss you to be vice president of a
 club" Eve remarked bitterly. "I have found out different. Belle told me that a vice president had nothing to do, so let them elect me to that office in the Art and Music Lovers. Next time do, don't, I'm telling you that '"
 But what do vice presidents do, any way? Seems to me they work about as hard as a wax figure in a show win dow" Eyes friend responded.
 Its all a mistake. Belle knew all the time she was going to New York over the holidays and, as she is presi- dent, that would leave me in charge. At our meeting we always have somebody to speak and somebody tossing and Belle said not to worry because Prof. Wilgus had promised to talk on "The Psycholo- gy of Art and Mattie Best would be home from college and sing for us. All I'd have to do was put on a pretty gown and do my hair becomingly and preside at the December meeting.
 "The Alvord Teales asked me to house warming at their new country place but it was just the night of our club meeting and I had to decline" Eve continued. "I consoled myself with the thought that I would be hostess to Bert Wilgus in such an effective way that he would just have to realize that perhaps I was more intellectual and worthwhile than he had ever deigned to think me.
