Attics Always Close
to Heart of Child

The attic is perhaps the most fasci-
mating room of all. Here is found the
answer as to why these little houses
of New England have endured. Every
one of the great timbers is hand hewn
and put together with handmade
wooden pegs-construction such as
this defies time and the elements. Be
fore one window is a fine old pine
table, there is another Boston rocker;
quaint little fOotstOols and a sea chest
which has been in the house since one
of the first sea captains waved
good-by to his family, standing beside
the lilacs in the dooryard, and set out,
his sea chest going with him, for
trade and adventure upon the seven
seas,
Still above this old attic clings the
faint aroma of apples and herbs which
once were hung there to dry. And it
holds countless memories of children
who have played here on rainy days
or on cold days of the New England
winter when the drifts were piled
nlSn over the picket fence and the
surrounding country lay buried be-
meath a blanket of snow. One can
imagine the first children playing at
being pilgrims and later generation
at being Indians, after the reality of
Indians had lost its terror. But what
ever the games they played, they were
sure to seek the mysterious attic
where there were trunks to rummage
in, dusky corners to explore and
apples to eat.-Arts and Decorations

Noise

There IS a class of men that gets
along fairly well for years by max
ing an impression upon the impress
sionable, whose sole stock in trade
is noise. They do not last forever,
but some of them last an astonish-

these wind-inhated beings make a

time collapse. When the balloon comes

QUEEN VICTORIA

King George Allows Uncensortd
 Book to Go Forth .

London, Feb @7.-'Paint me as am. warts and all"
 Thus the great Oliver Cromwell told an artist---and in q similar spirit King George the Fifth has allowed to go forth a book in which his grandmother. Queen Victoria, by her own pen, paints herself in all her strength and weaknesses, all her wisdom and foibles, all her breadth and her prejudices.

 The volume of her letters just published by John Murray has been the book sensstion of the month in England. Here is shown:
 Queen Victoria. an aging woman who would not sec that times had changed and that the English people were forming democracy.
 Queen Victoria, a sovereign who was anEered and frightened by the sweep of the liberal spirit,
 Queen Victoria. monarch of con stitutional country who held in af- lection her great Tory prime minis. ter Disracli, and in detestation her great Liberal prime minister. Glad stone.
 Queen Victoria. stubborn old woman who did not scruple to st- tack Gladstone in letters which she marked strictly private" and order ed burned after read.
 Queen Victoria, who often saw with clearer eyes than her states men, and whose judgments have been ratified by time.
 The letters date from 1872. when the queen was 60 and had reigned 42 years, until 1885, when she was 66.
 The Two Men
 Disraeli was always the courier. Gladstone the tribune Disraeli treated Victoria as d queen. never forgetting that she was 8 woman. Gladstone treated her as if she were public assembly.
 Disraeli wrote the queen missives that were almost akin to love let ters. The queen almost retorted in kind. She leaned on him. She found his advice always good. She gloried in his imperlalistic policy which was 10 make England great
 When Disraeli went to the coun- try in 1880 she was stunned when i the Liberals swamped him. She was supposed to be constitutional mon- arch. but, at first. she tried desper- ately to avoid calling Gladstone. to [ f0r ,S.S,, ;r$,,, forced by events to summon him as prime minister, s,4e

 There was a subtle something in his voice which told me that he did not consider the diAh - or any part of the beach party interesting in the least, and I guessed that he secret iy was annoyed at Lillian for ma neuvertng him into giving party fer her. and at me for proposing this rustic and primitive form of enter tainment. The great producer is an exotic person. with his tastes and habits city-bound. This frolic upon the beach would have bored him in any case and. because of Lillian's malice in walking him over the beach and making him carry drift wood for the fire. he had added ac- tive resentment to his boredom.
 Lillian laughed gleefully l knew that she also had caught that subtle note and that 1t delighted her.
 "YeA isn't it lovely?" she coun- tered as enthusiastically as if he had just given utterance to an ex- travagant paean of praise. Do you sec how it's done? Let me show you! Katie, may take one of these just A minute?"
 At Katie's delighted nod. Lillian walked to the fire and from beside it lifted one of the steak-threaded sticks which my maid had in re- serve. She took it back to Mir. Yer itzen and began 10 explain its preparation as gravely as if she were the instructor in a school Of cookery and he an earnest young housewife. It was almost too much for my risibles and I think for Dlcky,s as we'll, for I caught his eyes as they roved over the pair. and before we knew it we had flash ed to each other our old mutual ap- preciation of something appealing humorously to us both. But the next instant my husbands face hardened and he turned abruptly to speak to his mother, while l. fighting back a sudden impulse to tears, resumed my watch of Lillian giving her lecture.
