hospitable and carefree.
What a relief not to have to pre-"
tend things he didn't feel.
He HAD reached a point where he
did not want to do the conventional
things required of husbands. To kiss
Helena when he departed in the morn
ing and again when he returned at
night was a bore, because the kisses
didn't mean anything.
To be sure, she didn't make 1t too
hard. OF late she always turned her
cheek to him, as though it didn't mean
much to her either. Was 1t possible
that she suspected the truth? Some
times he felt she did. If only he
knew, so that they could have frank
talk. But he wasn't sure.
He made a leisurely trip West, stop

at last he reached Denver he went to

he telephoned Nina.

and his heart sank.
You don't mean she's out Of town."
he inquired in dismay.
"Oh, no, sir" the voice went on,
obviously that of a maid. "She's in
town. She'll be home about o'clock.
| Can I take a. message?"
He did not leave his name. He had
| bOyish wish to surprise her. He did
hope she wouldn't hold it against him
that he had f1irted with Natalie that
evening. Natalie had been a perverse
little imp. He did believe she had
encouraged him on purpose because
she had seen how attracted he was to
Nina. Of course, it was natural. Hell
ena was Natalie's sister. But she had
been adorable that evening, and, of
course, they had all had a couple of
cocktails before dinner.
At o'clock he called again, and this
time, after short wait, Nina's voice
drifted across the wire.
To his eager, This is John Hender-

Not really! What are you doing in
Denver? Business. 1 suppose? And

Our Children
A Child's Anger.

Robby's mother wass in tears. Not
gentle, healing tears were these, put
great aching tears of grief. Bobby
had grown very angry and In his
fury had struck her with all the
might of his 4-year-old strength.
"Think of it. He lost his temper
and struck me, his mother. l am
heartbroken and ready to die. My
child hates me. Oh, yes he does. he
struck me-"
A child's anger Is not an adults
anger. When a little child like
Bobby has an anger storm there Is
no hate in his soul. That feeling be-
longs to the adult, whose experiences
and his response to them have cul-
tivated hate and anger to the extent
that it makes him strike his enemies.
Little children know nothing about
enemies. They know nothing of our
ethical code. nothing of honor thy
father and mother
When a little child Is angry he Is
releasing his displeasure over a
framework of nerves and muscles
set in that peculiar pattern which
makes for anger and force. He re-
leased the energy and it raced out
over the waiting lines exactly as
damned water will rush through a
network Of bitches once it Is releaS-
ed. All the child knew was that he
was unhappy and uncomfortable and
he released his unhappiness and
anger as the result. He did not will
to anger-did not will to strike in
anger. 1t just came.
If we remember that, 1t will help
us separate the child from his deeds
so that we can train out the unde-
sirable expression without feeling it
to be a personal demonstration
against US. We cannot help a child

camp at White Plains 2and lead his
regiments to Washingtons camp. On
November 81 Lee ordered Heath to
send 1000 men to New Jersey. Heath,
