All the srNings Of modern wo- man 10 be something that she is not 10 be person rather than q stupid, claching creature, are vain. This blow comes from a scholar of the Greek who, deINng into dusty Greek tones of ages ago, finds that the female chatter of then is so like the female chatter of the now that women might as well make up their minds that basically they are but what they are. He especially points Ito the Fifteenth Idyl of the classic poet UhcoCritus in which two wives, .Gorgo and PraXinoe, chatter in this wise:
 "praXinoc: This wrctchcd hovel is all the faul of that mad man Of mine. Here he came to the ends of the earth and took--a hole, not a house-always the same, anything for spitc'

fright he had had taught him les son, and he was smart enough to profit by that lesson. He was a changed young Grouse. Mister Smarty didn't fit him as a name any more. As matter Of fact he soon became the smartest of the flock. But he never showed off. Every time that he did a smart thing and knew he had done a smart thing and was tempted to show off, he would re- member the time he had thought he was so smart, but wasn't. At once he would become very humble.
 He got to thinking this thingaver one day. Its queer" thought he. but my brothers and sisters seem to like me better than they used to. Yes, sir, they do so. l don't know just why they do, but they do. After all, 1t is great deal nicer to have people like yOu-really like you than just to admire you because you are smart. My. it is surprising how much there is to learn in this world.
 
 mother l shall be entirely satisfied. Yet l used to think that I knew more than she did. I used to think she couldn't tell me anything. Now know better. l know that there is something to learn every day, and the ones who do not learn are not the ones who are going to live the longest"
 Now this shows that little Mister Smarty really was smart. From the time he started out in the morning 10 hunt for his breakfast with his brothers and sisters until he went to bed at night he was busy every min ute learning something. He noticed just how his mother was continually listening. So, as he watched her, way he soon learned what different sounds meant. He soon learned to tell when a sound was suspicious. He soon learned to pay no attention whatever to harmless sounds. He watched his mother and copied her movements. He was always at her heels, doing exactly as she did. Many times he did things that she did without having the least idea why they were done. But after a while he began to understand some of these things. So it was that after a time Mister Smarty once more de- served his name, only with differ ent meaning. First he had been called Mister Smarty because he thought he was truly smart. Yet he never showed this smartness off. He never appeared to think he was any smarter than his brothers and sis ters. This is because he was humble as well as smart.

 There was such distressed hu- initiation in Noel NeritZeu's voice as he begged me not to hear him play at the cabaret where he nightly earned his living, that I quickly averted my eyes from his face, lest he should read in them the compass sionate comprehension l could not hide. For l guessed that while he himself might refer frankly 10 his lot his pride would be wounded by an open expression of pity.
 Dicky threw himself into the breach with characteristic tact.
 Wed be lucky to get one not out of ten above the noise in that place. % he said, laughing easily, "aud in the hotel where we are now you couldn't lift your bow without striking some article of furniture. We're just moving into an apartment on the Drive which has an old-fashioued thirty-foot living room with ceilings so high you can't see 'cm. As soon as we're settled you must come up to see us."
 At that mention of the Drive Noel Yeritzen gave perceptib,e start.
 Where are you on the Driyc?" he asked casually.
 Dicky gave the number os the apartment building and a furtiVe look at young Eeritzen told mo that he was mentally computing the To- cation Of inc house as near 10 that of his own home from which his father had so stcrnly banishcI him.

 Another emotion besides pity sud denly swept me, a flame Of anger against the father who could treat thus harshly his only child, It was impossible to look at Noel Veritzous high-bred, sensitive face and believe him guilty of theft, at college or anywhere else. But it was very easy to conjecture that he would sac rifice his own reputation and wreck his life for some Quixotc impulse. A ma nof Philip Vcritzen's keen per captions and broad philosophy should have been able to read his sons face more correctly.
 Of course, it needed no master mind to reason that it was Philip Veritzens love of his only child, and

Just a word from me, when he had seen me but minute or two and those by accident. had splficed for the pardon of the taxi driver, I could not escape the knowledge that his eyes had cx- pressed admiration for me. super fc,al no doubt. but unmtstakable.

I smiled to myself as I settled down on a secluded bench behind d trellis over which was trained q morning glory vine. The flowers had all gone to sleep, but the green leaves made q perfect screen for me. I fished out piece of note paper from my bag and discovered q pencil and began to write, using the back of the beautiful mirror to write on.
 l was very busy trying 10 write my mother the kind of a letter she would want to read without telling her anything Of my adventures since l had arrived in Chicago, and l did not notice that the shadows were lengthening until l felt tight ringers about my throat.
 Don't cry out or I'll choke you" a hoarse voice whispered in my ear.
 l could not have spoken if I had wanted to. I couldn't even turn my head.
 Look here" continued the voice. Hand over that bag A girl like you has no business with a thing of that kind. IL will do me some good, and put me in right with my bootlegger.

 Although I was choking I man aged to move the bag along the bench. There was a little extra ,araucipc. or, r,,,y rIrna+ Nf,- Ir5a.tG ', was choked off, and l knew no more.

 That night, when little Mister Smarty went to roost, he didn't go 10 sleep right away. He thought over all that had happened that day. "lf," said he to himself, "I had taken the warning of Mother Grouse in the first place, and had flown up into the trees as l should, that dracdful Hawk wouldn't have fright ened me so. If he hadn't frightened me so. I wouldn't have driven that little stick through my wing. If I hadn't driven that little stick through my wing, that two-legged creature wouldn't have caught me. | can plainly see it was all my own fault, Hereafter I will mind in- slantly."
 So, from being the greatest worry that his mother had, little Mister Smarty became the most obedient of the ten children. The dreadful

 Little Mister Smarty, the young Grouse who had thought he knew it all, had first nearly been caught by sharp Shin the Hawk, one of his very worst enemies, and then had been caught by Farmer Browns Boy, whom he supposed to be an enemy at the time.

 The word shock, like many other 1 English words, has various mean |ings. A very commonly accepted meaning refers 10 a sudden and yio- |lent sensation such as produced by ! a plunge into icy cold water. Or, IshOcl may mocn sensation experi- fenced when the mind is suddenly |agitatcd by a startling emotion.
 The term shock as used by physi- ,,iaus usually refers 10 graver condi- |fious particularly 10 prostration Of bodily functions following sudden Injuries or extensive surgical opera ttOns.
 EIictric shock is still another form of this often serious and even dan gerous coudirton
 Signs of Shock When a person is suffering from shock, his face is pale and has an anxious expression; the oycliis droop. thc eyes ara dull and the pu- pile large; luo skin is cammy and covered with cold preparation; the }ic'm Is somewhat stupid in ap- .pcaauca and takes little interest in things about him.
