No one roots" any harder than
do for the ,ia9dies of the household.
but as one mother has aptiy put IL
there are limits to their usefulness.
The hardest thing any mother has
TO bear is, when the father comes
home at night and for the Few snort
hours of the time he as i" see the
baby. throws discipline and regularity
to the winds
would not for the world have any
one think that I consider discipline
and regularity above human relations.
That would be absurd. We want
fathers to play with their babies, but
tho trouble liz often that is all the
fathers do.
The mother works to get the baby
used to regular maps and resular Pc
riods for his meals and then the father
comes home. gives the baby a violent
play hour; sits him on his knee and
feeds him from the table for the pure
pleasure of seeing him cat. and tnen
turns him over to the mother. That
night when the baby howls the father
says bitterly, "If I had that child to
take care of I'd teach it to sleep at
night
Then there is another type or fatner.
The one who can't see any reason
for all this discipline OF hours and
food. He wasn't reared that way.
His mother let him go to bed when
he was tired and fell asleep naturally,
instead of slowing him away at 6:oo
o'clock each night.
OF course, father can't possibly re-
member all the crossness and irri-
liability and spankings from worn our
mothers that wen hand in hand with
this kind OF rearing, and he can't
appreciate the peacefulness generally
of his household.
to keep on when things go slightly
awry, as they will even in regulated
households. and the poor woman Law

If she Is doing rightly.
A father goes to his work and runs
Il to the best OF his ability and Few.
oh very. very few of them will listen
to a word of advice from the wife.
But they come home at night and de-
nounce the wife for what she has
done through the day, instead Of try.
ing to help her carry on.
The fathers duty in the homo Is az

Pleatings and Insets for Skirts
BY MARY MARSHALL.

although men have long ceased to but.
ton back the skirts Of their coats.
Skirts might gradually vanish in
that way--for anything seems to be
possible in fashions-but there doesn't
seem to be any reason to think that
they are going to do anything of the
sort. At present it seems quite likely
that they will remain alrtos- where
hey are--that is, just about as long or
short as they are-one season a very
little longer and another season Il very
little shorter--for quite a time. There
really does not seem to be any reason
why the length should materially
change. They are perfectly comfort
able and sensible and from our present
point of view, entirely modest.
Increase in the width of the short
skirts is Il turn Of fashion that has
no doubt saved the short skirt from
an untimely end. The short, tight
skirt is a very difficult thing to wear
and 1t is usually ugly. The short
wrap-around skirt Is aS uncomfortable
10 wear as II is 10 behold. skirts SO
tight that they ride mp when the
wearer sits down are of themselves
ugly enough. but the uglest thing
about them is the pulling down ges-
ture that is bound to go with them.
You cannot strike a natural, graceful
posture when you are fearful all the
time lest your skirts ride half way up
to Your hips.
DreSsmakers have been really most
Ingenious IN devisinG pleated and pan
eled skirts that actually contain suffi

that give width without adding an ac.

CHAPTER XLVH.
Departure.

Irene kissed Bunny almost eagerly.
There was still that air Of suppressed
excitement about her. ~
"Good-by. dear, Ill see you soon, I
hope" ~
You're coming to my wedding?"
''Of course. And you're coming to
mine?" 4#
How confidently she spoke. A little
gleam appeared In Jessica's eyes and
she lowered her iashes. In that mo-
ment she almost hated Irene.
Then Ray was helping her into the
car. And Mark Mark was standing
back somewhere in the shadows. Since
his scornful "Good-by, Jessica, for
ever" he had not spoken. OF course
she knew what he meant. Bunny had
come into her own, Jessica was dead.

Farmer Browns Boy looked very
hard at Farmer Brown. He saw the
twinkle in his fathers eyes. You're
teasing me-" he declared. You know
very well that any big, handsome bird
is much handsomer alive than dead.

yourself. No, sir, don't believe you
would kill it even If you saw it catch
a chicken"
WE'LL" said Farmer Brown slowly,
''it wouldn't be a very nice way to
treat q visitor from 50 far away. 1t
Is a wonder that Whitley has managed
to get as far as this without being
killed. You know. son, hunters are
curious critters. The more rare a
thing is the more eager they are to
kill it. Now, that isn't ordinary com.
mon sense. If thing is rare every.
body ought to do everything possible
to preserve It. But a lot of men with
guns no sooner hear of or see a rare
animal or bird than out they go with
their guns to try to kill it. Now, If
Whitley up there should make it his
business to live on our chickens and
refuse to be frightened away, I sup
pose we should have to shoot him to
save the chickens. But if he should
take just one hen ] should flgger that
he had probably bought and paid for
that hem"
Farmer Browns Boy looked a little
puzzled. How could he have bought
and paid for a hen?" he asked.
Farmer Brown chuckled. II reck-
on" said he. that he has bought and
paid for any hen he may get with
rats. I don't know much about him,
but / have an idea that he would
rather have rat than a chicken, and
that probably he has had a great
many rats and mice since he started
out in the Great World. You know
as well as do that rats and mice can
do more mischief on farm In a month
than hawks and owls can do in a
poultry yard in a year. So I am per-
fectly willing now and then to give q
chicken to a hawk or an owl In re.
turn for all the rats and mice that
hawk or owl has killed"
Just then Whitley turned his head
and looked down at Farmer Brown and
Farmer Browns Boy. There was no
fear in his big, yellow eyes. He
looked at them for all the world as
if he didn't know the meaning of the
word fear"
See" said Farmer Browns Boy,
amy one could shoot him. Yet the
other day heard a man boasting Of
having shot a Snowy OWL To hear
him you would have thought that he
had done something very smart. Yet
heard him say that that owl just sat
and looked at him. That man wasn't
sportsman; he was just Killer

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Saturday, February 20.

Malefic aspects predominate tomor-
row, according to astrologers, who
admonish dwellers on the earth to be
conservative and cautious.
Under this direction Of the stars
discomfort and restlessness. irritability
and unreasonableness may be preva-
lent, and 1t Is well to discipline the
average disposition.
Misrepresentation and misjudgment
are to be avoided while this rule
prevails. They are likely to precipi.
tate domestic quarrels.
Women are subject to unfavorable
direction Of the stars while this con.
hguratien prevails and In all senti.
mental matters may be exceedingly
exacting. 1t is q perilous rule for
dirtations.
There is a sign Of great profit for
our commerce with Mediterranean
