Deslie's Nod to Madge Makes
 DickY Iurions

With his hand placed affection ately on Noel Veritzen's arm. Dicky guided the youth 10 our table, in- troduced him to Harriet and me and gave him the vacant seat next him. self. The boy acknowledged the in- troductions with well-bre courtesy. and to Harriet hls flushed cheeks and tense eyes were explained by the public humiliation which Jack Leslie had attempted, and which had been frustrated only by Dicky's promptnes of thought and action.
 But l was sure of something which she did not Euess-that DjCky had no speaking acquaintance with Noel Neritzen, and that it was doubtful if the dreamy, self-centered youth would have known even the name Of his rescuer had Dicky not introduced my name and Harriet's into the invitation he had given him 10 come 10 our table. l knew that to be thrown thus upon the social charity Of strangers must be a tor turing ordeal to the sensitive youth, and I exercised all my ingenuity in mitigating 1t. l was soon reward cd by seeing a distinct Iessening Of tension upon the part Of young Teritzen.
 Jack Leslie RctaIiates
 At the table from which Noel Teritzen had been escorted SO op- portunely by picky the cabaret dancer was still engaged in wordy altercation with the gigantic waiter, Reynolds. But he had the good sense, considering Reynolds strength Of arm, 10 keep his voice lowered, and presently he began his return progress to the door. Reynolds walking unobtrusively pace behind him, in readiness, l knew, to fore stall any sudden thrust which the angry man might make al Dicky or Noel Veritzen.
 But ii was a more subtle retalia- ton which he took. Harriet and were facing him as he came down the narrow runway between the tables, and I saw the start Of rec ognition he gave as he saw me.

WHAT MOTHERS SHOULD NOT
 BE TOLD


 Miss Claayer started I thought rather guiltily when I told her the bag she was examining belonged to me.
 "I was just looking through it," she said. "To soc if there were any identification tags in it before send ing it 10 the Lost and Found Depart meut.'
 l looked al Mr Armstrong re- proachtully, and said, Surely this gentleman would have known that l would be right back for it."
 That is what l told Miss Cleayer." the man protested But she said that il was such valuable bag that she would send word 10 the Lost and Found Department. for that is prob ably where you would look for it. In the meantime she would take charge Of it herself"
 Thank you, I'll take ii now" l said as l held out my hand for my property.

 II was a nasty inference, and I was at first going 10 Nocmly resent it, but l kept my temper
 "Yes Miss Cleay~r, I am perfectly sure. l noticed the bag when she came in."
 T only asked the question, Mr. Armstrong. as if seems rather incon- gruous that q young girl carrying a bag with gold fittings should be ask ing for 9 twenty y-Iollar-a-wcek 5ob."

Then with the sharp knife he cut away that stick where ] it projected through on the under side Of the wing, Then, very, very gently, so as to hurt as little as pos sible h" drew the remainder of that stick out on the upper side. Then he very carefully examined that wing. He gently felt of every little bone to make sure that none was broken. Not broken bone could he ind.
 "I don't know what 10 do with you, you scamp" said he. T don't know whether l ought to take you home or whether I ought to let you go. If l thought you could fly, I'd let you go. But if you cannot fly, you'il be safer at home with me. A l bird that cant fly isn't going 10 live very long. But I'm afraid if I let you go and you cannot fly. you will run away rom me and l shall not be able to catch you again. Then, if Reddy Fox comes along, that will be the end of you"
 Of course. the young Grouse couldn't tell him. Anyway he didn't understand what Farmer Browns Boy was saying. But he was missing nothing with those bright eyes of his
 If l get a chance I'll get away. I do hope Mother will stay around, :" said Mister Smarty to himself. Lit tie by little he was becoming less afraid. Now that that stick was gone that wing felt very much bet ter He wished he had chance 10 try it. He had feeling that it was as good SIS ever.
 Meanwhile, poor Mrs. Grouse was dreadfully upset. She recognized Farmer Browns Boy and this made her a little easier in her own mind. You see, once or twice Far mer Browns Boy had been very good 10 Mrs. Grouse. She couldn't believe that he would hurt little Mister Smarty. Still, she did wish that he would let little Mister Smarty go. But Farmer Browns Boy was so afraid that this young Grouse couldn't fly that he hesi- tated d long time about letting it go. Finally he decided on an eX- pertinent.
 "In just take him to q big open space" said Farmer Browns Boy.
 If he cant fly. l probably can catch him again before he has a chance to hide"
 So Farmer Browns Boy trampcd along the Green Forest until he came to an open space In the middle of it he put the young Grouse down. Hardly had he re- moved his hand when, with Q whirr of wings, .little Mister Smarty flew away. So was fear turned into great joy.

 Well. we ought to do SOME THING" Audrey argued.
 "Why?" Morton apparently was enjoying the situation.
 Parrish interposed before Audrey could answer. q think Miss Morton is right" he said. q think you ought to call on those people and demand an explanation"
 That's a silly idea" declared ATjrry
New Britain herald., 1926-05-06

! Parrish, his support thus rejected, was silent.
 ] The little maid-servant opened the door as they arrived at the Morton home, and she bobbed a courtesy, smiling with pleasure. Audrey stopped to talk with her, as Morton and Parrish exchanged a few words in the reception hall,
 When Parrish left, Morton called Audrey into his study.
 I'm going down town in a few minutes but l want to tell you something.
 T think I know what's the mat ter with those people next door,"
 "Whato" Audrey was wide-eyed.
 "It was my fault, I believe" he said. You will remember that l had Mona come to town here for q day or two"
 She nodded.
 Well. l took her to the restau- rants, and 10 the theater and to the hotel. She looks like a stage girl, you know. And l think I'm being boycotJcd because of it. You're suffering with me"
 The girls nostrils distended. Why the very idea! The imperti- hence of them"
 Morton smiled. People are al- ways imperlinent, when it comes to other folks morals"
 Audrey's thoughts took new d. rcction.
 Daddy, why did you have Mona come here?"
 You've probably guessed by this time" he told her T wanted you 10 get disgustcd with me as can didate for husband,"
 oh. She was silent, with f1n- ger to her lips.
 H. went on: T really counted on all those people seeing me, and talking to you about Mona and me. And l thought it might help you get rid Of your idea that you wanted to marry me-"
 on. she said again.
 He turned back to his desk, and Audrey slowly turned and went up to her room.
 Morton was busy at his office for the remainder of the day, dictating letters and going over a mass of re- ports. Parrish hurried back and forth with piles of papers, and small pocket ledGcrs that contained statements of Morton's affairs, ar ranged to be read at a glance.
 What are you going to do this evening. John?" Morton asked, idly, as he was preparing to go home.
 "Going to get my ftvver, and grease it. and go out for a ride" Parrish said. T haven't been near it in a long time. Want to see if it runs"
 "All right. Amuse yourself" Nor ton advised, as he took his depar- ture.
 Audrey had been exploring the house, after the manner of women when they've returned from a trip cut of town. She had directed a transfer of the fruits from one closet to another, inspected her clothing and discarded a heap of it, ordered various cleaning operations in ob- scurc corners, and when Morton ar rived. she was sitting in the middle of his dressing room floor, his shirts strewed widely around her.
 What are you doing to my linen?" he wanted to know.
 Just looking it over," she said. T think you'd better order some new ties and shirts. Shall I order them for you?"
 Heavens, no" He spoke in mock concern. Thank you just the same, but I'll order them myself. The last time you tried it, you got them all in awning stripes an inch wide. They looked like some of Firpo's or Battling Skis haber- dashery. Poor Ski! He's dead, now"

 "Siki", he said.

Bison of Mixed Breed

The American bison is the one ex-
listing species of the European wild OK.
Bos (bison) bonasus, known In Russia
as a zubr, together with the nearly al
lied New world animal known in Eu-
rope as the North American bison, but
in its own country as the buffalo. The
American bison is distinguished from
It's European cousin by the following
among other features: The hindquar-
tiers are weaker and fall away more
suddenly, while the withers are pro-
portionately higher; especially char
acteristic is the great mass of brown
or blackish-brown hair clothing Its
head, neck and forepart Of the body |;
the shape of the skull and horns Is
also different, the horns being shorter,
thicker, blunter and more sharply
curved, while the forehead Of the skull
is more convex, and the sockets of the
eyes are more distinctly tubular.

Shakespeare Built Up
Language in Writings

When Shakespeare was at the height
Of his powers, he almost made his
language, as the Americans say they
do today, as he went along, DR.. George
Gordon Of Oxford pointed out In q
lecture on Shakespeare English be-
fore the Royal Institution Of London.
Referring to the state of the Eng
lish language in the Sixteenth Gen.
fury, Professor Gordon said there was
no fixed pronunciation or accent and
there was neither a standard gram
mar nor a standard dictionary. The
first quality of Elizabethan and there
fore of Shakespearean English was
its hospitality and its passion for ex-
pertinent, its willingness to use every
form of verbal wealth. to try every
thing "once, at least"
So far did 1t go, this movement of
linguistic anarchy, declared Professor
Gordon, that prudent, word-fearing
men grew alarmed, and later new
words were blacklisted.

Frisco's Uniqr-e Colony
of Italian Fishermen

On the San Francisco water front
today you may find a fascinating bit
of the picturesque Old world brought
to America and made over into a
thriving enterprise by the methods of
science.
There, huddled along the Fisher
mans wharf, you may see nest Of
40 boats owned by a colony Of Italian
fishermen. Transplanted bodily-lan-
guage. customs and boats-from the
Mediterranean to the Pacific, these
hardy men are reaping harvest of
wealth In shining salmon from the
deep sea outside the Golden gate.
In their little boats, says Popular
Science Monthly. they have replaced
with gas engines the lateen sails used
for centuries by their forefathers. I'm
place of oldtime nets and hand lines.
they have substituted long, springy
trolling rods with which four fisher
men now can bring in larger catch
In one day than eight men formerly
did in two.
BY the use of modern appliances
they have changed "fishermen's luck"
into scientific skill that seldom fails.
And as a result single boat now av-
erages 500 worth of fish at trip
sometimes reaching as high as $500.

Russian GiUen Credit
for Radio "InUention"

Who was the Inventor" of radio?
The Soviet government claims the
honor for Russian, Prof. Alexander
Stepanovitch Popoif. and has adopted
a characteristic method of telling the
world about it,
A new Russian stamp came to the
notice Of the writer a short time ago.
Above an excellent likeness appear
the words 'Tnventisto de Radio-Popov."
The language Of this inscription liz
Esperanto, though the other charac-
tiers on the stamp are Russian.
The facts appear to be that Profess
sor Popoff-admittedly one Of the
great pioneers of wireless-publicly
transmitted wireless signals over q
distance of 40 meters in 1895, the
year before Marconi took out his first
patent for Rertzian wave telegraphy.
But Brandy and Sir Oliver Lodge
had been experimenting for some time
along the same lines, and the latter
gave demonstrations in 1894 in which
"coherers" (the earliest form Of radio
"detectors") were employed. 1t Is not
easy, therefore, to award the palm.
Hertz, after all, was the first to pro-
duce the radio wave.

Two-Piece Jumper Frock
Is in Fashion LimeIirht

In single collection of new models
there were included no less than 20
different versions of the two-piece
jumper frock. Some were fashioned
of the new soft wOolens in kasha
weaves. Others were Of knitted fab
RIGS. A third type emphasized the
vogue Of rough textured silks such as
shantung and rajah, while for eve
ming one found these charmingly
youthful little frocks developed in
crepes and chiffons.
Standing out with significant definite
ness In any array of new fashions are
the frocks Of the two-piece type made
entirely by hand and with characters
tic French touches in the cunning de-
tails of hand work in the form Of fine
hemstitching, tucking or delicate en-
broidery.
In Paris there Is one particular
house noted for the smartness of its
little silk sport frocks. These are
tailored with all the care and precision
that goes into the making of more for
NAL costumes, and they are delightful
examples Of simple fashions In their
most perfect guise.

made Of heavy wooden materials which
have solid color on one side and plaid
or figured design on the reverse side.
These materials do not require lining
and they are finished at border OF hem,
sleeves and fronts with binding Of the
solid colored material or braid. The
cape is made detachable so that 1t, too,
can be reversed. A double set Of but
tons is used in front since each side
requires buttons. Thus the two oppo-
site buttons are sewed on with the
same thread.
One Of the above-described cape
coats recently seen was navy blue on
one side and red, green and blue plaid
mixture on the opposite side. When
worn with the plaid side out it made
a startlingly pretty sports coat and
when reversed it made an appropriate
street wrap. The cape was bound in
navy blue serge and the buttons on
the plaid side were red and on the
blue side, black bone.
Even jumper frocks often use a
square or rounded rear cape which
begins at the shoulder seams and ends
at or just below the normal waistline.
Often the capelet is lined in a soft,
contrasting shade of silk as In the case
Of a dove-blue frock with orchid-lined
capelet.
