 Junior at the Farmhouse
 There was kindly comprehension in Lillian's eyes which belied her quick reproof of my tears. Both heartened me, and l caught at her hand, conquering the weakness which her mention of my small son had given me.
 1T shall take your prescription immediately" I said forcing smile. And - shan't play the baby again."
 "At-a-girl." she commented with a grin. Not that you haven't earn ed the right to. if anybody ever did, butt won't do. at this stage of the game. When We get this business safely over with, think I'll lie down beside you and we'll weep into our pillows for . week or two. Will you join me?"
 Her nonsense brought the laugh upon which knew she had counted. and ! went away from her. cheered as always by her indomitable spirit

My common sense. bolstered, by Kath- crimes wise counsel. told me that Junior would be better off in her loving but more impersonal care than in mine during. the Winter which the physicians dictum had said he must spend at the farm- house. She had pointed out that with my fsther and Dicky's mother in the house I would not be able to deal with my mother-in-law's jeal- ousy of any authority save her own over Junior with the success which Katherine, as a trained nurse, could

FATHERS INNINGS
By Alice Judson PeAle

By Alice Judson Peale
 Unless father takes time to know his child it is his sad lot to pay all the bills and let mother have all tht fun.
 The father who hopes to be re- 9arded as something more than source of material welfare must cul. tivate his child's society from the very beginning.
 If he has not played with his baby he never will have the com panionship Of his boy or girl. When your boy is old enough to so fishing with you it is too late to begin making friends with him. The long legged adolescent will be as much a stranger as the round eyed baby.
 How can father get his carly in- nings? He leaves the house while the baby still is asleep. He comes back tired and hungry. Instead of being urged to make advances to the baby, too often he is told not to dis turb him. but to hurry and get ready for dinner.
 As a matter of fact. there is no reason why a baby's schedule can not be arranged so his father can play with him little while each day. If father occasionally does a few simple tasks in the baby's ser vice. he will feel himself on more intimate terms and will ceaae 10 re- gard him as precious and break able toy.
 The toddler who has known his father as benign and merry in- fluence will make his share of friendly advances. Hanging on the gate. waiting for daddy 10 come home. he is fairly bursting with | things 10 tell him.
 Daddy need on'y look and listen He need only show genuine inter | e=t in the wonderful happenings of he toddlers world to win his heart nd keep 1t.

duce a fever in | comrade by burn ing some of the cut off hair. In other portions of Africa it is thought that you can make an enemy suffer a severe headache by burning some of his hair along with his fool. On the island of Luang, burning of the hair or Of the finger nails with the proper charms may cause the hands to swell.
 In other islands of the South Seas some of the mans saliva along with his hair is wrapped up in red cloth and sunk in cer- tain srotto while charms are re. cited. This causes the evil spirit to come out of the grotto and at- tack the person from whom the saliva and the hair were taken.
 It has already been mentioned in this series that some people be- lieve that | person will lose his strength when his hair is cut: that legend goes back to Samson and Delilah. The vestal virgins of an- cient Greece had all of the halr cut from their heads and wore q special veil thereafter. and simi- lar ideas are followed in some modern churches
 The hair is also associated with some of the constriction cures in which . hair taken from the body is tied around pimple. wart. mole or stye that 1t is desired to have disappear from the body.
 Actually. there is not the slight est scientific evidence to support any of these notions. They repre-. sent the simplest form of symboli- cal magic. the attempt to conjure on the basis of intimate control of portions of a persons body The hair cannot influence either health or disease. It is merely ar appendagc to the human body.

Mid-Season Modes Must Match The Sky!

 Paris, May 39.-Mid-s -season collec- tions are Usually considered of min- or importance compared to the spring or autumn showings. They may be smaller and less significant 50 far n actual fashions are con- cerned. but this by no means implies that they have required less study than the other& On the contrary.
 The greatest difficulty that be- sets the couturier when preparing his mid-season collection is hat most of his models are created on the basis of . mixed atmosphere. They have to contend with irreGu- larity in the form of weather and light - grey days and often days of quite brilliant sunlight. It fol- lows, therefore. that any model created for such undependaole times of the year as midsummer or mid winter must necessarily be the subject of careful considera- ton. They must never. even un- der the most diverse of weather conditions. look out of place!
 It's . spcctal Problem
 Mid season clothes for this very reason have to be specially combined and cut. form, color and texture must be very wisely sel- ectsd. Hence tho tremendous dif- ficulty facing the couturier of inn parting to them definite person. ality.
 It is in these small collections that you will find the most diverse fabrics-in-between materials. I might call them. In this category, I believe that ''woolflower," ma terial launched last year, il | typical example of . mid-season fabric. There are, too, several varieties Of flat silk crepes emil nently suited to this betwixt-and- between time which l use quite freely.
 Take coat made of this heavy. rather thick silk. It has sufficient body to hang we'll and at the same time it ensurse sufficient comfort to meet any change in temperature at that time of the year. A wool en material might be Q shade too warm for comfort, even on a rela- lively chilly mid summer day. The heavy silk wrap has the added ad- vantage of protection combined with a good fit.
 Neutral Shades Desirable
 Color is another very tricky point to decide upon. Very light shades would strike the wrong note. Dark, wintry shades would look sad in the sun. Neutral shades, therefore. are the best and these should be chosen rather darker than lighter, provided q touch of color is present in the en- semble.
 am all in favor of the com binatton now ruling so far as tnt combining of ! mid -season ensem- bic is concerned. This is usual- ly composed of | light dress worn under | dark coat. the lining be- ing of the same material as the dress. This Is think. a very becoming and happy combination, one that always look right.

Safety means everlasting watch fulness. No one knows this better than do Dipper the Grebe and Mrs. Grebe. It is not often either one of them is surprised by an enemy. Those bright eyes of theirs are al- ways watching out. No matter how quiet and peaceful it may be, they are always on guard.
 So it was that as the Grebe fam lily swan about the Smiling Pool Dipper. Mrs. Grebe and the six lit- tie Grebes-the bright eyes of the parents were keeping constant watch in every direction. Despite the fact that everything was peaceful, Mrs. Grebe was anxious. Mothers are al- ways anxious. The babies were not anxious, however. They had not yet learned the real meaning of danger. They had yet to learn the real meaning Of the word fright. So they played about on the water and Mother Grebe kept watchful eye on them to see that none strayed too far away.
 Peter Rabbit, watching them from under ' biz fern. wondered what would happen if an enemy appear ed very suddenly. If those babies

 Bucktng Up!
 My boy did not need me for the Winter. but my sore heart wanted him to need me and miss me. acknowledged the pettiness of my soul. but could not change 1t. At least. however. told myself. I cevld keep my weakness hidden. and steel- ing myself to the resolve to bstray no hint of it. I went swiftly io my fathers room to which l had ,seea Junior 50 few minutes, earlier. and knocked my own especial raps upon the door.
 Come in, dear" my father called. and l pushed open the door, to find him sitting cross-lesSed upon the floor, his usually sombre face light. ed with | broad smile while Junior. perched upon the bed. was waving a toy sword in one hand and brand. ishing a wooden gun with the other. Now. you vilyun, you'll never make anybody else walk the plank" Junior was shouting. You're ma. rooned on that island and there neverN be anybody come near you. Oh- Mother. Come and help me maroon this pirate!"
 Alone with Junt0r .-s
 My father looked up at me with twinkling eyes :.
 T only have . weeks rations. V he said. trying to make his face and voice appropriately doleful "And there isn't much game on this L. land. Can't you persuade the cap. tain to be more merciful?"
 T came to see if the captain wouldn't go with me on an excur- sion into the orchard" I said ss- dately. Perhaps She would let yov 90 alon: before he maroons you for good"
 That's the ticket!" Junior shout. ed approvingly. Tt will make him suffer all the more when he comes back"
 He's a bloodthirsty youth" My father shook his head dolorouely. Then he looked up at me with the keen understanding of my mental and emotional reactions which never has failed me.
 T think I'm safer right here oa the island" he said. Go to the orchard just with him. Perhaps he will be in ! more kindly mood when you return"
 He knew! my father with the blessed freight of loving parent hood! He knew that I wanted no one. not even himself. in this laSt play time with my small son. for we were to start h the morning before Juniors time for waking, ia order to avoid traffic.
 '1ll do my best to soften him." I promised. Come. Junior ret your hat and coat"
 But my small lad hesitated Der. ceptibly
 I'm afraid he'll swim over to the ship and take it while I'm Sone." he said
 Plainly he was debating whether it was more worth his while to 60 with me. or to finish the absorbing melodrama in which he was enacf- ] ing the role of hero. And this was my las. day with him!

 |. Come on in; the wster's fine!" retorted Dipper.
 A sudden thought struck Peter. Can you walk?' Dipper chuckled. II don't suppose you would call it walking" said he. T can get along after fashion for a little way. but not for far, and it is more running than walking. To tell you the truth. Peter, we Grebes are almost helpless on land, so we never come on land, unless it is to sit on the very edge of the water"
 T don't see why you should be so helpless. don't see why you should be any more helpless than the Ducks" said Peter.
 Dipper rolled half over on his back and held up queer looking foot. It wasn't webbed like the foot of a Duck, but there were queer flaps or scallops of skin between the toes. Look at that foot!" said Dip per. Look at that leg! Have you ever seen a shorter one?"
 IetSr dCkHONlGQSeQ that Hc never had.
 How do you expect any one to walk with legs as short as mine ard way back at the very end of ,ny tody? Those legs are meant for swimming and not for walking, No. sir, you oon't get this bird or land if lie can help it!" said Dirper II am a swimmer and diver and the water is quite good enough for me. If there is any one more at home on and in the water, l don't know who it is"
 T suppose you can fly" said Peter.
 If I couldn't fly, how could l have come here ?" demanded Dipper. "Oi course I can fly. But l don't do any flying excepting 10 get south in winter and north in summer. Give me the water and I'll leave the land and the air to others"

But if she should have to wait for them to scramble up on her back, she might not be able to dive in time. Certainly that would be the case if a hawk should come sweeping down. I don't see how she could possibly gave all those babieA Of course. they could all dive, but they are 90 little that they couldn't stay under water long enough to be really safe"
 He was still wondering about this when he heard . sharp note from Mrs Grebe. And then something funny happened. Yes, sir. it was funny! 1t w1s interesting. too-quite q interesting as 1t was funny. At that sharp note from their mother, each one of those babies grabbed hold Of her tail. Yes. sir. each one grabbed hold of her tail. There they were. six baby Grebes hanging on to Mothers tail for dear life. The very second the last one got hold. Moth- CT Grebe dived. Peter couldn't be- lieve his eyes Under water she went like a shot and under water went the six babies, all hanging on to her tail.
 Peter looked about hastily to see what the cause of it was. He saw shadow pass over the Smiling Fool and. looking up. discovered Sharp shin the Hawk. Evidently Mother 0rebe had seen him coming. He is swift of wing. There had been no time for those babies to climb on her back.
 T wonder how long they can hang on," thought Peter.
 As if in answer Mrs. Grebe sud- denly appeared among the rushes right in front of Peter. As she popped out of the water. six baby Grcbes popped out of the water also and each baby was still clinging fast to Mothers tail. By this time Sharpshin had passed over and the danger was gone. Mrs. Grebe saw
 
 Peter at once.
 T told you. Peter" said Mrs. Grebe. that I would show you an- other way of taking my babies un- der water. Nov you have seen it. how do you like it?"
 It's wonderful" declared Peter. If any one had told me about it. I wouldn't have believed it. You cer- tainly have your babies well trained Mrs. Grebe.'
 If they were not well trained, they wouldn't live long" replied Mrs. Grebe. They are obedient children. if do say so''
 They certainly are,'' replied Peter.

There was one thing that Peter Rabbit had noticed about the Grei,,4 end this was that they never came ashore. Never since he had known them had he seen either Dipper or Mrs. Grebe out of water, excepting when Mrs. Grebe was on her nest and that nest was entirely surround cd by water. He wondered about this good deal. Mir. and Mrs Quack. the Mallard Ducks. Mir. and Mrs. Black Duck, and Beauty the Wood Duck and his family. often came out of water. He had seen them on shore many times. So if seemed to him strange that he never raw the Grebes on land.
 One morning Dipper swam over close to where Peter was sitting. 'Dipper.' said Peter. "I have never seen you or Mrs. Grebe on the land :"
 Dipper chuckled You never will if I can help if" said he.
 Why" demanded Peter.
 Dipper's eyes twinlled. fe didn't reply directly. Instead. he said. Peter. l have never seen you in swimming
 Huh" exclaimed Peter. You never will if l can help it.

POULTRY SHOW FOR MILFORD
Last Years Resulted in Being the
Largest Exhibit of Its Kind

AT the call Of Warren C. Newton,
president of the Delaware State Poul-
try Association, a special meeting of
the executive committee including
members of standing committees was
held in the Grange Hall in Milford to
consider definite arrangements for the
State Poultry Show, which will be
staged in Milford on December 3, 4
and 5, under the auspices of this as
sociation in cooperation with the
State Board of Agriculture and the
Extension Department of the Univer-
sity of Delaware. The poultry show
which was held in the Community
building in Milford last January re-
suited in being the largest exhibit of
its kind ever held in the state, as there
were approximately 500 birds on exhi-
bition in addition to several displays
of baby chicks and eggs. Due to the
success of this show and the great in
terest which many of the leading poul-
trymen displayed in planning and con
ducting it, the Delaware State Legis-
lature passed the Morgan bill appro-
priating the sum of 5000 annually for
the next two years to the State Board
Of Agriculture to be used as prizes,
expenses of speakers and oher neces-
sary expense which may be incurred in
conducting the poultry show this com
ing winter. According to the plans as
outlined by the various committees,
both floors Of the Community building
will be used this year, thereby provid-
ing for at least twice as much exhibit
space as was available for the prev
ious show. Those who are interested
in securing space for commercial ex-
hibits, however, are requested to get
in touch with H. S. Palmer, Newark,
secretary Of the show, as soon as pos
sible.
