every emotion can be wonderfully in

WW Divorce Be Granted If
Deserving Spouse offers
to Return
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

Helen Moore and her husband had
frequent quarrels. which finally re-
suited in separation. Indifferent to
her husbands desertion, Helen ac-
cepted employment.
Not long thereafter Moore desired
to return. Accordingly, he called
upon his wife and asked her forgive
ness and pleaded for a reconciliation.
Helen emphatically refused.
Determined to start over again,
Moore sent frequent letters Of endear.
ment to his wife. His efforts being to
no avail, Moore accepted his wife's
stand on the matter and made no fur.
ther attempts at reconciliation.
Helen's residence being in State
where absolute divorces are granted
on grounds of desertion, she filed suit
at the expiration of the statutory
period. Moore contested the case,
stating that although he had deserted
his wife, he had made bona fide at.
tempts at reconciliation.
Helen's petition for divorce was
dismissed, the court reiterating the
following established legal principle
when an offer to return is made
in good faith by the original desert er
and is refused by the deserted spouse
the fault of desertion is thrown upon
the refusing spouse. The original de-
sertion is terminated and a divorce
will be refused on this ground. In the
above case the husband. may obtain
a divorce on the ground of desertion,
while the wife may not.

OUR CHILDREN By Angelo Pa'ri

And when he grows older and his

enough to make him tug at It DIT.
If he meets with. no resistance, II II Is
"too easy" he makes no growth. Tnat
is a matter of fine adjustment, ana
the parent or teacher who watches
how to make 1t. Never too easy, Just
hard enough to allow the child to
master it and no more.
1t is not wise to give child tasks
that are beyond him. because he Will
be forced to give up and feel the dis-
couragement of failure before his
spirit is seasoned to it. In the be-
ginning he must feel the triumph of
success; he must be able to overcome
the healthy resistance offered his ef.
forts He must succeed. The conf
dence that success brings carries him
through the more difficult places that
are to come.
The final stage Of a child's growth.
the character stage, must know the
feel of triumph over resistance. He
must have gathered sufficient power
In the world of material things to
have laid up fund of spiritual power
that will conquer evil. In some way
do not understand. this power is
stored as a result of the work and
the resistance overcome in the daily

Resistance.

A child makes no progress In any
direction without the aid Of a healthy
resistance. He must feel some force
resisting him, pushing against his
own force, before he can direct and
increase his power.
In early infancy his legs lie re-
laxed. He scarcely knows he has
them. One day he kicks out. That
first kick is his first effort toward
making his legs serve their purpose.
If you place him so that he can push
against something firm, the foot Of
his crib, a hard pillow, his leg power
will increase rapidly. The kick into
the air brings him no message, while
the kick and the push against re-
sistance sends him word Of the solid
world he is to master.
A baby likes to pound things. You
know how he will beat the table with
his spoon, or the bottom Of his mug.
blinking with glee at the noise and
the thrill that runs up his arms at
each whack. Provide for that ham,
mering when he shows he is ready
for it by giving him a light little
mallet. with which he may hammer
things like tree stumps, the garden
walk. the porch floor. The resistance
is increasing the power of his arms
and hands.
AS he creeps about the floor provide
him with a few blocks heavy enough
to allow him a good tug with his back
and arms. Leg. and back exercise can
be supplied with the right sort of
blocks or a swing, the kind that he
can sit in and push against with all
his might.

- Everyday Law Cases
Is Tenants Use of Premises
Restricted to Descriptive
Term in Lease?
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

Harold Gardiner, owning a building
in which he conducted a garage busi-
ness, contracted to lease the place to
Tom Spedden. The lease. prepared
by Spedden's attorney, provided that
Spedden rented the premises, known
as THE Garage" for period of five
years.
Since the papers contained only
those stipulations that had been
agreed upon, Gardiner signed, not
deeming it; necessary to have the
papers gone over by an attorney OF
his own. Two years later Gardner
learned that Spedden was discontinue
ing the garage business and was ar
ranging the premises suitable for a
business similar to the one Gardiner
was now conducting.
Surprised at Spedden's action, Gardi-
ner notified him that the words THE
Garage meant that he was to use
the premises only as a garage ana
since he had broken the terms OF the
lease it was therefore at an end. Sped
den, however, declared that the lease
hatl not been violated and entered
suit to prevent Gardiner from eject
ing him.
The court found that Spedden was
not violating his lease and rendered
decision against the landlord in ac-
cordance With the following general
principle: ~
parties to lease may by express
provisions therein restrict the general
rights of the tenant as regards the
use of the premises. However, II the
words in lease are merely descrip-
tive of the premises they are not re-
garded as restriction upon the use.

The Woman of Fifty-Five
BY CLYDE CALLISTER.

Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, founder Of
Christian Science, did not share the
convection of some women that a
woman past the half-century mark Is
too old to marry. In fact, at the time
of her third marriage, this great
founder was 55 years old. Mrs.
Eddy's biograpler hasn't very much
to say about this husband-save that
he was "a bachelor living in East
Boston, an agent for a sewing ma
chine conern," but because he found
favor in the eyes of this good wom-
an, his name has come to be known

lures which in a gh-spirited wom-
an usually retain their beauty un-

youth.
Catherine / of Russia-the peasant
girl who became first mistress, then
wife and finally consort of Peter the
Great-was crowned empress when
she was SIS years old. She retained,
undiminished. her fascination for this
great and eccentric man, who had
had no scruples in committing his
first wife to convent when he
wearied of her. At the coronation
ceremony, Peter placed the crown on
her head while keeping the scepter
in his own hand. He did this so
that, in case of his death, she might
succeed him-and 1t was an honor
not usually bestowed upon the wife
of an emperor, since only one Rus
sian emperors wife had ever been
crowned before.

"Those things will help make very

all around the farmyard. But there
was nothing that he could find to make

with those two towels. After while
he gave up looking and climbed back
up in his favorite tree, and that 1s

But, of course, Cubby did nothing or
the kind. He knew when he was well
off and he proposed to keep that way.
SO he wouldn't come down.
1t was after supper that Mother
Brown went out to get her towels. and
of course, there were no towels. When
she went back to the house she asked
the others if they had brought them
in, and, of course. they said No y
Mother Brown decided finally that she
must have taken those towels in and
forgotten it: and then she gave it no
further thought.
1t was two or three days later that
Mother Brown missed an old piece of
carpet. 1t was just small strip which
she had hung over the clothesline to
air. When she went to get it there was
no carpet there. This was queer Who
could have taken that carpet? Farmer
Brown came along just then and she
asked him if he had seen that carpet.
