Mhy a Katie strangely Rude
 io Nellie faNeella

Katherine whispered no word ot warning .e me 10 control my facial muscles. She knss that the clasp ef her arms, the certainty that my face was shielded from any other ssse than her own. the second of Fsspis she had given me were sufr aeisn, to enable me 10 smooth cut ny iaspsd nerves.
 With a eonYulsiys little answer. inE clasp of her strong tender arms. l released myself from them. and with a eslmness of face and voice for which ] knew l should pay later. turned 10 the group composed of Junier, Marion and Mollie iawestt.
 The girl had not yet risen from the kneeling posture she had as- sumed when she drew Junior into her arms with her promise of a story. And my small son. though he seedientiy hsd taken the hand Marion had held out to him at Ks,hsrinss whispered command. to gsthsr eggs for my breakfast. WIS Looking back st her with n wistful. worried expression.
 Doesn't she have ssss for break fast. too?" he demanded, and there was such thwarted hospitality in his baby tones. that l found 1t com perstively easy to join in the laugh. fer with which the others greeted his sally.
 "of course. Junior" compelled my voice 10 q loving reinsurance which should sound plausible to my listeners. "And you're going to get them for her." Then with the fool- ish impulse for over atonement whieb is 70 purely a feminine st- tribute. I added; "You'd love to get eggs for the pretty lady, wouldn't 700"
 Junior's Declaration I firmly believe that there Is a spiritual rapport between mother and child which is shared by no one else, and I never had it more peintsdly brought to my notice than n my little iae's reaction to my question. He twisted himself out of 1lsrion's grasp and ran to me.
 '.I want to get eggs for both of Spu." he explained. For you and the pretty lady. But want to get most for you, cause you're my muvver, and you're the prettiest lady in the whole world"
 He punctuated the words with

I My dear John. was very mucl
 disappointed to receive your tele' | gram, and 1 cannot tell you how
 sorry I am that business has de- l tained you for the moment from 1 coming over here. Leelie's father has been fretting q good deal be- cause he has not been able to see you. He seems to feel that he has many things of importance to dis cuss with you. I think, John. that my husband has just about come to the conclu- sion l fried to make him come to before we went abroad. l think he Is contemplating very seriously re- | tiring from business, With both his | daughters happily and comfortably married, he seems to feel that he has no more need of piling up money for just ourselves.
 Of course this retirement has many good and many bad points As you know, my husband is a self made man, and I am not sure that having nothing that he must do will prove very irksome to man of his active temperament I have noticed too many men who had worked hard all their lives who after shaking off all care of business, became either morose or did not live very long, not to make me somewhat anxious about this step. On the other hand, Jo- seph has altogether too much 10 think of now, and he has broken down under it,
 l was in hopes, dear boy, that you would come over here and advise him.
 ] do not know that you know 1t, John, but your fathcr-in-law takes a great deal of stock in your judg- ment, and I wish you could see your way clear to come into the business with him. Since Alice has married Karl Whitney, l think my husband is contemplating giving to Leslie much larger share of his property than that which he gives to our youngest daughter. Probably he will divide the entire estate into three equal parts, after taking out my share, giving one part to Alice, one to you, and one 10 little John. That division would have my approval as you know that Karl Whitney is i'm mensely wealthy, and Alice will have no need of anything that we can give her.
 I am not trying 10 say John, that yon need any money. Both my hlls- band and myself have looked with great prde at your splendid inde- pendence, and your father-ln law has remarked many times that while he would be glad to help you in any way, he is also sincerely glad that you have worked out your own problems in your own way and never asked his help
 Leslie does not seem very we'll l notice with great anxiety that sh1 IS much thinner than sh" was when she was in New York. lsthink l accused her of trying 10 reduce, but she as sIlres me she has not been doing anything of the kind. She seems cutie listless, as though almost any action was a great effort to her. Both her father and l are quite wor- ried about her.
 I think she is lonely for her boy, although she has not mentioned go- ing home. She is a great comfort 10 her father, who Is rather disgruntled over the fact that Alice saw it 10 marry Karl without telling Us she was going to do so.
 Let me know when you are com ing. We will await 1t with great pleasure.
 Lovingly, your mother,

"It's about time the youngsters had their teeth looked at," com mented Mrs. Mann after one of the boys came running in with tooth ache.

 Does anybody ever think Of John Philip sousa as being so many years old? The rhetorical question Is in- spIred by the fact that his manager, Harry Askin, reports that the March King will he 70 in Noyem- Der, and that he is undertaking his thir,y-seeond tour with his band as if he were go or under.

 Leslie Prescott, Continued.
 "Besides," continued Mrs. Periel T am like a drunkard. buy an buy 50 that I will not think"
 I looked at her in surprise, Leslie for could not quite realize what sh had that she wanted to blot ou from her brain. She seemed t think, however, that this was expla nation enough. for whatever hel thoughts had been, she gave hersel up to them, and apparently forgo that I was there.
 ''Mis Perier, you surely must have oniy pleasant thoughts" exclaimed hoping to call her out of herself ..No young woman has had greater success than you in the last three years"
 "Perhaps that's so, but what does success on the screen mean? Money Yer, of course, lots of 1t. The ex- travagant admiration Of many peo- pie whom you have never seen and never will zee, coupled with the feeling that you have no real friends. The men for whom you work think of you only as a cog in the wheels that turn out golden dol- 1ars for them. and all the other peo- pie you know are either jealous or envicus of you.
 This morning when I awoke," she continued, after a moment, ' thought the whole world was hard and cold. Even the sum which was trying to peep through the Chicago smoke seemed only great brass ball, something not capable of send ing out any warmth. When ] open ed my eyes I found myself saying I don't want to go to Hollywood. ] don't want to go back to work. ] don't want to read another fan let ter. don't want to hear another soulless compliment. l just want to go somewhere and sit out in the sun under the trees, and hold a baby tn my arms,
 Then you called my room, you Know, and immediately, like the drunkard who knows the lethal draft, I said, wen go shopping"
 Because Paula Perier spoke of the Joy of a child, I immediately told her about your little boy Jack-how sweet and darling he was, and how you loved fim. I've never seen such . radiant look on human face as on Paula Periers when she turned her eyes toward me.
 "Oh, have you seen the Prescotts little boy? I saw him once. and ] think he Is the loveliest child l have ever seen. I used to know MT. Pres colt many years ago, and when gaturred to the city on my first ap- v~ASing tour his wife was most charming to me. She Is devoted to the boy, is she not?
 T have never known such won dsrlul mother l said, ''as is Les ls."
 "Hhat would she do?" asked Paula Perier. If the child were to die or be taken away from her?'
 'f1 think her heart would be broken"
 "Yes, think it would" said Paula Perier. The shopping tour which had started with a laugh ended with q slow dropping tear Paula Perier, who had given the ad- dress where she wished her pur- chsses sent. unceremoniously walked out of the store without paying any more attention to the beautiful things she had purchased. Shes strange woman. isn't she. Leslie?
