Who Are the Huns2

"The Germans, of course" most
people will say. The name was only
applied to our late enemies In the
great war. Actually the Germans
have no Hunnish blood. so far as Is
known In the Dark Ages the Huns
swept down upon Europe. sweeping
all before them. They had strange.
ugly features. were small, ferocious
and travelled chiefly without any WON
en- or children, SO that they took up
no abiding place and formed no king
dom. Having at length been defeated
in great battle, they left Europe as
they had come Some have thought
them Chinese, but we learn that the
Chinese, too, were fighting the Huns
and at length drove them away. The
name Hungary shows us what the
medieval people thought had become
of the Huns, but there is no special
reason to think the Magyars are de
scendantS of the Huns. Scientists
have sometimes fixed on the Turks
as the Huns Of old. But 1t is still 81
mystery who the Huns were and what
has become of so large and powerful
O. race.
Now what do you know about that?

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. l.. B. d. writes: MY daugh-
ter. an s months baby, weighed a
little over four pounds at birth and
now at three and pne-half months
weighs IL pounds. She is breast fed.
Are premature babies just as strong
as normal babies after they are
grown? She was always normal in
every way except that she was
smaller.
us it possible for a baby to nurse
as much in fifteen or twenty minutes
as Is contained in q feeding for an
artificially fed baby?"
Answer-One must always take
into consideration that your baby is
really one month or less in age than
the full-term child. Instead of being
three and one-half months old she
is really but two and one-half
and for that.age her weight is excel
lent. One should not try to measure
a premature baby with normal chill
dren up to their fifth year. After that
they are in every way as we'll de-
veloped. and physically as strong as
the normal child.
1t is possible for a baby, who is
a strong nurse, to get all he needs
in even five minutes of nursing. One
should not insist on a child staying
at the breast for any particular
period of time. Most babies will
nurse as much as they need and then
stop.
Mrs. e. w. A. writes: "My 5-year-
old girl Is very restless. She picks
her nose and at night grits her teeth
until they are rough. She also cries
out in her sleep and doesn't rest well.
jumping around lot in her bed.
She eats very we'll at times"
Answer-It Is likely that all of
these symptoms are due to over feed
ing at night. Restlessness, gritting
of teeth, all indicate indigestion. II
she Is fed lightly at night, only
cereal, milk and, some fruit sauce,
she will probably have a restful
night.
Her other habit might be over

Mrs. NJ. NJ. CT should use some
good cold cream on the baby's face
and wind and then her face won't

wooden shirts, which are wet con-
stantly, from getting rather hard and
dry, especially after they are old.
Using some water softener and
rinsing them in water in which there
is little soap; also drying them on
racks (Which can be bought for the
purpoSe) or in a strong wind, will
do more than anything else to keep
them soft.

CHAPTER XLVH.
Nakal;n the SeArpsS.

Helena entered the house with the
la1chkev Fred had had made for her,
and crept softly up the stairs. she
was still laughing inwardly, aithougn
there was an undercurrent OF Tragedy
about II, for all her mirth.
Whv should she think that 1t meant
ANYTHING? Just because John had
suddenly seized her in his arms and
made love to her in fashion he never
had before, why should she suddenly
behave that he was in love with her?
Men were men, and she had probably
succeeded in arousing his curiosity.
She had certainly tried to play the
game She had kept on with the
Weaving of her web in spite of every
obstacle that had presented itself.
She had been gay and laughing
when her heart had been sick within
her. She had feigned indifference
when she had longed to fling her arms
around his neck and plead with him.
She had turned herself INTO sploer

n,Irnose Of holding him. And yet I'M
In tonight he had shown not the
slightest sign Of being interested in
her.
On the train she had kept recalling
the incidents that had occurred after
she had Indignantly pushed him away
from her. She remembered delivering
a regular lecture to him. She had
been indignant, sarcastic. She had
taxed him with not respecting her.
Then she had left the apartment
after refusing to let him see her to
the station or even get a taxi for her.

And he had followed her downstairs
bare headed, his mouth set in a
straight line, and had put her in a
| cab.
Did it mean anything? Could she
let herself believe that? If only she
could talk to Natalie. But this was

She had probably been asleep for

after mother or father who reads the
fascinating tale. and also the little
folk. just bit older, who will
prattle these lines with a tumble Of
childish chatter about Christmas and
what they hope Santa Claus will bring
them. And so this Christmas classic
twines itself about memories that are
forming and those that are reminis-
cent, and always with glow Of
Christmas atmosphere and light that
transforms old and young hearts into
spirits of love and Joy.
Legend of Lighted Candle.
The radiance of this beautiful spirit
is made apparent by the Christmas
candles, put in windows on Christmas
eve. Many Of you may know the
tender legend that Is the inspiration
of this custom. 1t goes back more
than 20 centuries to the time when
the light Of the Star of Bethlehem
led the wise men to the manger where
the Christ Child lay. The legend tells
us that from that day to this the light

Helena entered the room softly, and
Natalie said imperatively:

Helena complied, and as she did so
pulled off her hat. Her hair was still
tousled from Johns rough handling.
A smile crossed Natalie's face.
"Well?"
Helena flushed scarlet.

"Oh. NATALIE
You played the game and he made
