 Leslie" he presently called, There is old Syd. He is going out with us to the Travellers club to- night"
 I noticed that he did not mention Melville Sartoris and I wondered If Syd knew we were to be the guests of Mir. Sartoris,
 They came upstairs together and called a gay greeting as syd passed my door.
 After I had dressed I went in to see the children. The baby was asleep. His golden hair lay in clus- tering Curls about his face. He had kicked off the clothes and his little body was almost bare. l stopped down with an ecstatic cry and cov- cred him with kisses.
 There was a little wistfUl sigh from the other bed. turned to ind Jack sitting up staring at me.

 No. darling. It is your wicked old mother" answered, taking him up in my arms at the peril of my perishable finery. "I ought not to leave you at all, honey, and ] don't want to be a snow angel tc you. l just want to be your owr ownest mother"
 The little soft arms about my bart throat and the moist lips on mine made me want to cry. "I yuv you muvver," he whispered, sleepily. hugged him tighter and that darling boy entwined his arms closer abou my throat. Again thanked m! God for my eldest son. Again searched my brain to see if l coulc find the slightest difference between the love l had for him and the low I had for that other human nit 1 lying in the other bed.

 That there was another reason for her objection to the trip-one which she was too proud to voice--I com- prehended instantly and scored my self for my selfiShness. She needed me and she dreaded being left alone for a whole day with the difficult problem Fanny Powell presented, especially when Lillian was in no condition to be called on for aid,

 Remember there are a lot of

that apple tree. She flew straight to the place where she had seen Mrs. Chippy go. Sure enough, there was a little nest made of fine roots and lined with horschair. Sally inspected it carefully.
 That nest is just about finished" said she to herself. q think by to- there, l must keep watch of this"
 Then she spied on Sunshine the Yellow Warbler. Over in a bush on one side of the Old Orchard she found the beautiful soft nest which Mrs. Sunshine so dearly loves, There were four eggs in it. Sally Sly left another and with wicked chuckle sncaked out of sight.
 The next day she again visited the nest of Mir. and Mrs. Chippy. Tn it was a little blue egg with a circle of black spot at the big end. Sally Sly left another egg to keep if company. | Then she flew over near the Smiling | Pool and there she found, as she had been quite sure she would, the nest of Little Friend the Song Sparrow. The next day another of Sally Slys eggs was in that nest. Then. quite satisfied Sally went off to find some of her own relatives and do nothing all the rest Of the summer but have a good time. But behind her she had left trouble. Yes. indeed. she had left trouble. She had left more than trouble, for in three homes she had left the unhappiness which only sel- fishness can cause,

SALLY SLY GOES SPYING
'Tis only those by nature sly
 Who ever really like to spy.

Who ever really like to spy.
 Old Mother Nature
 Sally Sly Is an outcast. None Of the other birds will have anything to do with her. They look down up her. They consider her lazy, and some times she is called the Lazyblrd. her real name is Cowbird. Of all the feathered folk there is none in this country excepting Sally Sly that leaves her babies to be brought up by others. Sally Sly Is disgrace to the. name of mother. And all the feathered folk feel this way about It. So Sally is an outcast, and she doesn't seem to mind it bit.
 When she saw Mrs. Red-eye kick that egg out of her nest, Sally decl- ded right away that it was quite use less to try to leave another egg 1n the nest of Mrs. Red-eye. So Sally promptly flew over to the Old Orchard. But she took the greatest care to keep out of sight. She was sneaky. She just sneaked about, spy ing on the other birds. It didn't take her long to find several nests. Right away she found the nest of Welcome Robin, but then, any one could ma that nest. It was too big. All the nests she found at first were too big for her purpose. They were the nests of birds nearly or quite her own slze' She wanted the nest of birds much smaller than she. Do you know why
 Sally might be too lazy to take care of her own babies, but she IS clever enough to make sure that those same babies get the best or care from their foster parents. So Sally chooses a nest of some one smaller than she, some one Whose babies will be smaller than her baby when they hatch. She knows then that her baby being the largest VII! he the strongest and will be sure tc get its share of food. AS matter ci fact it gets more than its share ol food, and this is quite as Sally SIS would have 1t.
 So Sally kept watch until she saw Chtppv the Chipping Sparrow anc Mrs. Chippy around Farmer Brown barnvard. She saw Mrs. Chippy III away with horsehair and She kep watch to see exactly where Mrs Chippy went. She knew that th' horsehalr was for the lining or nest, She saw Mrs, Chippy fly int q certain apple tree in the ol' Orchard. She waited until both MT and Mrs. Chippy were back at tn bsrnyard. then flew straight over U

GET PLENTY OF FRESH AIR

 Open air walks increase ones life expectancy.
 Get out Into the pure fresh air; 1t will revive the body and spirit.
 A person breathes in one-seventh more oxygen out of doors than in- doors,
 Every organ of the body is rep resented by nerves on the surface.
 So cold air and water baths stimu- late every organ of the body to &C., tivity.

 Homes should be provided with sleeping porches. The added cost they give to the construction of A house Is paid back tenfold by in- creased health and vigor.
 Closed doors and windows are not so common during summer. But during the winter. many sleep In almost air-tight rooms.
 Yet cold air is the great blessing of the human race.
 If one would reach the heights of health, he must travel through life via the Fresh Air Trail.

 So Lucia Meredith was beautiful ant artists counted 1t privilege to raint heI portrait! was ashamed ot mysel; for being SO dsquietcd st this Information concerning pr, M.redlths wife which Katherine had just given me. knew of course, that 1t would have meant nothlas whatever to me if it had not teen accompanied by the additiona! n.Ns Of her interest in Dicky, her deelre that he should roar at her partiAs," the phrase which my little ktnswoman had quoted from the on-hun;ing !adys husband.
 Suddenly I realized just what this promised call meant. This beauu- :ul woman, whom Katherine had dubbed "the snobblest Of snobs," was coming to olr home with her hus- band. ostensibly for social call but in realty to submit the wife and homo O. "lion" she admired to a critical inspection. This I well knew, from Katherine's description. would be mercileSs. Every vestige Of my disapproval Of the usual femi- nine housekeeping hysteria vanished on the instant, and it was with as excited q mlen as my mother-in-law ever wore that l turned to Kath- erine.
 Was there ever worse time for her to call upon us?" I demanded. Katie has been gone so long and we've been so upset here that the house Is a fright"
 Most Women Would Protest
 Most women would have protested this statement vehemently and would have assured me that l need not fear to present my menage to the in- spection Of anyone, no matter how critical. But Catherine Is too loya and sincere a friend to say anything she does not mean, and she is also so thoroughly feminine that l knew she comprehended my problem ant sympathized with 1t.
 Hardly that" she smiled. "Bu of course, it isn't up to your usua standard, However, it ought not tt take very long 10 get things in shapt if we all turn in and help. It's , matter of rubbing mahogany ant polishing brasses and silver"
 And waxing floors and cleanin, rugs and washing and polishing glasses and china, for of course we'll have to offer her tea," l sait desparingly. "We never can do il Katherine.
