FIND DRAMA IN BUSINESS

In their search after new dramatic values, many of our playwrights have t,irned from their long preoccupatlon with love, youthful or illicit, with sex in All its aspects, and have asked them selves what other motives and emotions depeIv influence our lives. And they have discovered that for the average man the profession or business which he chooses becomes the dominating fac tor of his life, and so in reality his @fate." It determines his actions and associates, often also his opinions and even his moral standards; it's claims upon his time and strength cut him off from other interests and pursuits and bring him into conflict with other duties, domestic and social.s Such con- flicts are easily understood by those who make up the modern audience, since most have felt them in greater or lesser degree, and they will therefore excite that emotional response, that "melting mood' which, Bernard Shaw tells us is the final test of good play.
 From the earliest times representa- tives of the military class have been accorded a place upon the stage; the artist, too, is generally acknowledged to be a romantic and emotional crea- ture and therefore a fit person for dra- matic presentation. But the contem- porary dramatist has shown us that the life of the lawyer, the clergyman, the business man, the physician, the man of science, even the professor and the school teacher, contains clements no less dramatic and perhaps of even more general appeal.-Marian P. Whitney in the North American Review.

Hearts s Desire

 For a moment a questioning look flickered in his eyes, then with smile he turned to Joan and taking her hand in his, said, Let's hear it all for l don't want you to worry a moment longer, little girl.''
 With his firm hand encircling hers, Joan felt reassured and commenced. You know the very first evening I spent at Hearts Desire something hap pened" A troubled look swept across Joan's blue eyes.
 You poor child, why didn't you tell me right away. You know want ev- cry one to be happy at Hearts Desire, said Rupert kindly.
 "Well, you see, everything was strange" Joan paused.
 "Of course it was" he murmured consolingly. But what was the trouble?"

Not that expect to find better place to live. I don't. But it would be a lot of satisfaction to know that there isn't a better place. It is a very nice feeling to know that you have the best there is, but this is something you can't know if you never see anything else. Don't worry, Nanny. I guess am old enough and have had experi- ence enough to take care of myself. just can't be perfectly happy until have seen something more of the Great World. You want me to be perfectly happy, don't you?"'
 Now what could Nanny say to that? Of course, she wanted Danny to be perfectly happy. So like the wise little wife that she is she didn't say an other word against Danny's going. She just hoped with all her might that at the last minute Danny would change his mind and decide to stay at home. But Danny didn't. No, sir, Danny didn't change his mind. Perhaps there was something in the air that made him restless and uneasy. Perhaps with out knowing it he had little of that feeling which had sent so many of his summer neighbors. hurrying away to the far away sunny southland. Anyway he wanted to go adventuring. And so one moonlight night he brushed his coat, Lade Nanny goodbye, told her not to worry, and started forth to see the Great World.

Danny Meadow Mouse Goes Adventurini

Oh. Danny goes adventurins. adventuring,

 Oh, Danny goes adventuring all on an Good Fortune. pray be kind to him. be
 kind to him. be kind to him!
 Good Fortune. pray be Kind 10 hlfn'
 and guard him on his way.
 NTOW wouldn't you suppose that any
 one as small and as timied at Dan-
 ny Meadow Mouse and with so many hungry enemies always watching for him would be quite content to stay at home? We rather expected Peter Rab- bit to do unexpected and foolish things because of his dreadful curiosity, but Peter is many times bigger than Danny Meadow Mouse, and then, too, he can get over the ground very fast in time of danger. But Danny IS such a little fellow and his legs are so short that his only safety is in keeping out of sight. So Danny is the last one we would expect to set out adventur1ng, especially as he is all the time hay ing adventures right at home. Why, if Danny should tell you how many times he has saved his life by the skin of his teeth as the saying is, you would wonder that he has any nerves left. But Danny accepts these mar row escapes very much as you and l do our daily food, as just part of daily experience.
 After all, then, perhaps it is not so surprising that Danny was possessed of a great longing to see more of the Great World. He isn't so very diff ferent from the rest of us. He gets hungry and sleepy just as you and l do. He has aches and pains and he knows what fear is and what it is to be happy, just as you and l do. So why shouldn't the spirit of adventure get into Little Danny Meadow Mouse and make him want to see more of the Great World, just as you and I do? You see after all. Danny has feeling" just the same kind of feelings that you and I have, if he is only little Mead ow Mouse.
 Danny and Nanny, his timid little wife, had had a very happy fall. They are thrifty little people and great be- lievers in preparedness. They are not at all like happy-go-lucky Peter Rab- bit, and they had cut private little paths, ever so many of them, through the grass to the places where food was most plentiful. They had built a snug, warn nest in the hollow of an old fal- len fence-post quite hidden in a tangle of long grass. There had been plenty to eat and they had grown fat with good living and knew just where they would find plenty of food through the long winter. Decidedly it was very foolish of Danny to be discontented, Nanny told him so.
 'I'm not discontented," declared Danny. But the Great World is a

 So he picked up the Magician just as easily as you would pick up little doll and gave the Magician three hard tnumps, plump! Bump! Bump v like that.
 Now" the giant said as the Magi- clan went limping toward home. Don't let me catch you disturbing Raggedy Ann, Raggedy Andy and the little Captain againw
 And that was the last they ever saw of the mean old Magician. But they gave the nice big kind giant great box filled with cream puffs, Jolly pops and other kinds of goodies, for you know, the magic cupboard in the cabin of the little boat made anything the Raggedys could wish for.

adults. he will sleep badly because his brain is too active to be readily over
 Sleep deficiency is one of the most difficul tproblems in the average schoolroom.
 Children may actually suffer from lack lack of sleep.
 Most people at some time or other {often in church) have experienced the positive agony of twitching muscles fighting against the desire. for sleep, caused very often by over-heated, badly ventilated buildings. Under such con ditions drowsiness again and again makes one's eyelids droop and sleep seem the most delicious thing in the world.
 Little children who have insufficient sleep at night are often overcome in difficult problems in the average fer actually from sleep deficiency.
 Lack of sleep may set up condi- tion of mind that interferes with di- gestion and "upsets' your child's stomach.
 That is why early to bed makes child strong and well, while late hours, when his little bones and mus cles still require the benefits of sleep may interfere with his studies, as well as his health.

watched them, but nothing happened. I'd almost come to the conclusion I'd been dreaming when once again I saw mystery on my mind when I met Rags with it." 4tt.
 "He does look rather fierce" inter rupted Rupert.
 A little flush mounted Joan's cheeks and she lowered her eyelids. Then rais- ing her face to Rupert she said, hes itatingly, II thought you seemed inter ested in him and for a moment won- dered if"
 "If I were in league with him?" questioned Rupert. Well, that's good" Rupert threw back his head and laughed heartily. Then seeing a pained expression in Joan's eyes he drew her towards him. You poor little girl. You must have thought you had got into fine place. I suppose if it had not been for Rosanna's very evident responsibility you would have left us long ago." &
 "oh, no, MT. Ransome. I decided that"
 "That whatT queried Rupert, look ing straight at Joan.
 '@That you were all right, but that Rags was up to something. He was the man I saw in the woods the other evening. He had his gun with me and he advised me to go home by the road and he's here again tonight. l felt you ought to know, but I've never had a canoe to tell you before," and Joan gave long sigh.
 "Now you're happy, aren't you" questioned Rupert as he gazed at Joan's starry eyes. "Yes,' she whispered. Then sud denly she asked. Have you ever seen the lights?"'
 "Yes, and perhaps I can tell you something about them. For some time folks down the line, have had suspi- cions that things are not just right at Garry Wynne's, but of course, they are only suspicious. Now Rags used to work there until he had some falling out with Garry's no-good son, and he's got wind that there's something up and it's the dream of his life to catch him at some illegal escapade. I've warned Rags to be careful, but I didn't know he was out with his gun. Now promise me you won't worry any more about the lights and signals you've seen."
 "All right, I will, but isn't it dam gerous to get mixed up with these af- fairs?" and Joan shuddered.
 "Oh, no. Garry's son is a coward and if he's mixed up in anything crooked, his pals will be just like him." Rupert tried to laugh away Joan's fears.
 But such creatures are often ruth less," and Joan turned her face away, then looking at Rupert she whispered, Let's so home, now"
 ''All right, Cinderella, the hour has struck" answered Rupert whimsically, but before she left him at the porch she put her hand on his arm and searching his face said. Promise me you will be careful if anything happens"
 Caressing her hand lightly he an- swered, T promise"

 So Magician Muggles pushed Rag gedy Ann from the boat, then he pushed Raggedy Andy from the boat, then he pushed the little fat Ctptain from the boat.
 "Now! I spect you shall never see this magical boat again '" the Magician laughed. T shall sail it away all by myself"
 And he turned the magic switch, which made the little white boat sail, but the little white boat stood still, "Here! Tell me what's the trouble with this magic boat!" the Magician howled at the little Captain. Ut won't go for mel"

Choosing Shoes For Evening
 Wear
Rv JANET WINSLOW

IF AN inexpert dancer were to step
 on your foot while you are wearing
 a pair of the new evening shoes your feelings would probably be'a great Tor the shoe itself as for your foot. They are such lovely frail things-sil- yer, gold or satin with glittering threads to emphasize their dainty beauty.
 One fascinaing pair of sandals are made of narrow strips of gold Kid woven basket fashion. Strips cross the instep and are held in place by tiny gold buttons. You may have small flat purse of woven kid to match. It's Just big enough to hold thin vanity case and wisp of handkerchief.
 Silver kid is used in the same way, and combinations of white and silver that show the checked pattern on the surface more distinctly than when single tone is employed. When the light catches the little squares of sil- yer the strange effect is fascinating.
 Another silver kid sandal is decor ated with colored enamels. The tiny joints of color are blended cautiously together so that the whole resembles q patch of fine cross-stitch embrold- cry. A sandal with crossed straps has the enameled decoration on the toe, but another sandal features 1t on the wide band which passes over the in step, leaving the rest of the surface plain.
 You must have style in order to wear these shoes we'll. Ones feet naturally attract more attention when they are covered with something out of the or dinary. Shoes of the type described seem to have been made especially for the girl with pretty feet. Slim ankles receive well-deserved attention if the shoes below them twinkle with novelty.
 Some of the new evening shoes are made with heels that look at least three inches high. They are simply tower ing. The point is that ones stature towers with them. Instead of putting lifts in your shoes to make you look taller you may now have heels that raise you as high as is compatible with a perpendicular position.
 And very thin, gauzy white stockings that show the glowing tone of your own flesh have replaced nude tones to a great extent.

 FVEN as she looked the figure dis appeared in the brush, while Ru-
 pert, slipping Joan's arm through his, said, I'm afraid you're getting nervous. I don't see anything" and smiled, reassuringly.,
 "Oh, no, I'm not nervous" answered Joan, "only there was a man at the edge of the wood and it's not the first time I've seen him, either
 "This sounds exciting" commented Rupert as he noted the eager express sion on Joan's face. q guess you don't want to go any further into the woods. Suppose we sit here" he added as they reached a fallen log.
 "All right" answered Joan glancing once more in the direction towards which she had seen the stealthy figure glide.
 "Now," said Rupert gently, you mustn't be afraid; you are perfectly safe. You know we rarely see Q tramp here. We're too far off the beaten paths"
 But that wasn't a tramp, at least If it was the same person saw the other evening. Oh, MT. Ransome, you

Anyway, I spect this giant fright ened old Muggles, the Magician, so much, he will never try to capture our nice little magical boat again!' the Captain said.
 "Ha! Don't you believe it!" Magi- clan Muggles howled as he came walk ing around the cabin, "That old mean Giant wanted me to give him whole lot of cream puffs and doughnuts, but ] handed him two hard stones instead. And the mean old creature picked me right from this boat and sent me scoot- ing home. He said if I didn't run home right away, he would give me the hardest thump ever had! !"
 And I spect that you deserved a very hard thump, too" the little Cap tain said. Anyone who makes a prom ise should keep that promise, shouldn't they, Raggedy Ann?"
 And that is why shall keep my promise and capture this boat for my very own" Magician Muggles cried. Giants are no good anyway, and l
