 Dimly, through mist of tears, she saw be- fore her that proud, grim tipped, naughty mother. There, too, she saw the white, set face of the son-the boy she had loved, and still loved, with every nerve and fiber of her body.

 Most people, stunned by the unexpected outcome of the trial, dismissed the matter a finished when the principals in the tragedy vanished from the public eye. Even today few suspect the true history of events behind that tremendous drama of intrigue, suffering and deathless love.
 But now, for the first time, the entire story has been told by the girl who was the central figure in that amazing drama. Told in words that will bring tears to your eyes-tears of joy, of sorrow, of understanding and sympathy.

SPRINGFIELD MAN
 GOES OVER FALLS
Dares Niagara in Rubber Ball.
 Comes Out Alive

Buffalo. N. Y. July s R1Jean Albert Lussier. S4-year-old resident of Springfield. Mass. who realized an ambition of 20 years yesterday when he went over Niagara Falls in a rubber ball. was happy today in having his theory vindlcated.
 Not Hurt
 Except for bruises. Lussier was uninjured. He is one of a few men and women who have dared the mighty cataract and come out alive.
 Lussier said he was inspired to attempt the feat when as boy he saw Bobby Leach go over the falls in a steel barrel. He later conceived the idea of a rubber ball covered with a light superstructure of steel

 Finally he was able to take off again and returned to his mother ship without having sighted any of the missing Polar explorers.
 Meanwhile reports drifted here that the stockholm Dag Bladet had printed an interview with Captain H. Riiser-Larsen saying that the men on the ice encampment, started by General Umberto Mobile and now controlled by Lieutenant Viglieri. had traced Finn Malmgren and two aides IS far as Foyn Island.
 These three men were landed with the dirigible Italia. After the ice encampment had been built they started walking towards Foyn Is- land to get rescue for their com panions. Nothing has been heard from them since, despite that three dog sleigh teams are searching for them now.
 Captain Rliser-Larsen here said he could see no reason as yet why Malmgren and his two companions should not be alive. provided they were able to fight off exposure and any Polar animals. They had a food supply that was capable of 90 days. provided it was properly ratloned the flyer said.
 AmunIsen Seems Gone
 Meanwhile no word has come here of Roald Amundsen and his five aides who started to search for the crew of the dirigible, nor has there been any word Of the six men who drifted away in the envelope of the great polar craft after it had made its forced landing.

Selfish and Unselash Children.

MIS-. w. Fl. writes: so many
mo,hels write you of the selfish child,
but my problem concerns the child who
will give away any and everything she
has to children, and they impose upon
her. l could stop her from giving her
things away but l fear this will make
her selfish Her father is just the same,
and is always being imposed upon by
his friends. have had to go on the
playground and ask a child TO give up
Mary'S skates, as they were all she had.
Answer-Mary's age was omitted. ana
that makes the problem harder 1t is
unusual for a child to give her things
away SO readily under 5 years of age.
Evidently her home training has been
such that unconsciously she has re-
ceived the idea that giving away her
things hes special virtue. and she gets
great satisfaction in SO doing. / think
it might be pCSS- bic to show her that
you want her to lend her things to other
children, but that by giving them away

her one pair. Let her lend her things
gladly and willingly. with the under
standing that when the other child has
played with them they are to come

sneaks in quietly and keeps his hands
behind his back and then plays with
them What should do if he told me
an untruth about them?"
Answer-Don't give him a chance to
tell you an untruth by not asking him
any questions about whose toys they
are. You know they do not belong to
him, so pick them up and tell him,
These are Bcbby's toys. and you must
take them back to him" March him
right back With them, and do this as
often as necessary, telling his play
mate that your little boy enjoyed them
so that he didn't understand that he
was not to carry them away. He is too
young to be accused of stealing" He
just needs to learn that what belongs
to enother is not to BE- taken away
from that person. He'll learn it by not
being allowed to do it and understand

WHY WE DO WHAT WE Do


When you get married you take your
partner for better or for worse. In
acquiring an automobile you take no
such vows publicly, but the two sit
uations are not altogether dissimilar.
You cannot keep from becoming very
much identified with your car and you
fly to its defense, quite unconsciously, in
case of attack on its virtues and vices.
1t takes some occurrence, some rude
shock such as enormous repair bills
and such other heart-rending incidents
as being towed In through crowded
streets where your friends are likely
to witness your humiliation, to get you
to the point of contemplating divorce.
Ordinarily, however, every man is
loyal to his own car. Our affection for
the old bus increases as its market
value decreases It's weather. beaten
features serve to endear the old faithful
servant who has grown old and feeble
for our sake. There are bound to spring
up emotional attachments and senti-
ments after going through exciting ex+
periences together.
We sometimes grow sentimental over
the family car and refuse to trade 1t
off and turn 1t out to pasture as a
worn-out horse. The attitude Is one
of true comradship. We hate to have

any dealer look 1t over with a view
of placing a price on its head. 1t
hurts not only our pride, but also out
RACES our sense of loyalty.
We fib about the gasoline mileage as
we do about anything else connected
with the car out of sense of loyalty
and on the grounds of common decency
Our friends gladly forgive us this sin
because 1t is really virtue. The man
who will not lie for his car Is no gen.
tleman.
We fib about our gasoline mileage
because 1t is expected of us. We also
fib because We want to make a good
impression, to show of our skill in buy
ing a good car in the first place and
In keeping it In good repair and In get

son briefly stated is that in compli-
menting the car we compliment our
selves.

always sides with her boy

More Complicated Clothes Arrive
BY MARY MARSHALL.

cut one And other women I know
who cannot afford such luxuries find
that they have to allow more time to
keep their clothes in condition than
they did a season or SO ago.
This is interesting because the pre-
diction was freely made a little while
ago that, once women had become ac
customed to simple clothes that could
be kept in condition with the minimum
of effort and put on properly in few
minutes, they would never go back to
the more complicated sort
And yet here they are-the more
complicated clothes-and most of us are
only too eager to wear them.
AS just one example of the more
complicated mode-take detachable
lingerie cuffs They add considerably
to the task of making a frock because
when they are worn the sleeves and
cuffs have to be fitted with precision.
and the cuff itself has to be adapted
to the wrist and hand, like a frame to
a picture. Unless you can afford to
wear a frock two or three times and
then send it to the cleaner. these fragile
bits of lace and lingerie and net have to
be removed and cleaned or washed with
care and then they have to be sawed
back into the sleeves with the utmost
precision.
1t does make dressing more compli-
Gated and yet, as we see things at
present, it is we'll worth while, because
these bits of lingerie framing the hands
lmpart that tone of elegance and femi-
ninity to the costume that distinguish
es it from the commonplace.
I am sure you will want the diagram
pattern for this week, as it shows you
how to make new hat for a very
small cost. The hat is a sort of turban
and the material is lightweight wool
jersey The original. which is shown
in the sketch with the diagram, came
from Paris and is the most comfortable
and convenient bit of headgear that you
can imagine. So please send me your
