Astrid and Leopold
 May Cut Their Visit

Brussels, Belgium. Feb. 27 @- Publication by a Dutch newspaper of the alleged Franco-Belgian mili- tary accord. which has met with de- nial both in France and Belgium. has had at least one unexpected re- purcussion. The advisability of shortening the tour of Grown Prince Leopold and Princess Astrid to the Dutch East Indies is now being dis cussed in responsible quarters.
 Final decision Is understood to depend on the Dutch governments reaction to the publication and on the suggested inquiry into the mat ter. The attitude of the Dutch cab- inet is being viewed with the utmost interest here as having an important bearing on the relations between the two countries during the next few years,

 Enough thrills and excitement to last . lifetime are packed into a few reels of film in 'The Whip Ftrst Nationals polarization of the famous stage melodrama which will be at the Capitol Thursday. Friday and Saturday in sound.

Shaw Will Never Cross Ocean,
 Fearing Acclaim of America
1G. B. S." Is One Foreigner Who Refuses to Be Lured to Lecture Plat form by Big Money.

London. Feb. 27 R-Bernard Shaw il resting from the labors of . three-act play, ''The Apple Cart, ' the announcement of which brought him new invitations to visit the United States, but Shaw resolutely sticks to his decision never to set foot in that hustling. bustlinE land which worships literary lions. At 72 Shaw fears Americans would make such a fuss over him that life wouldn't be worth living. Years ago when he would have gone to America. he had to work as hard as cockney cart horse. Now he is rich and famous; every year Ameri- cans tempt him across the Atlantic. but all fail.
 1mphesarios who try to sign him for lecture tours ruin their chances by the sheer magnitude of their offers. Great bags Of gold dangle be- fore him, but Shaw lectures only for "causes," not money. He persistent ly refuses American offers because he knows that the large fees offered for his appearance would mean vast audiences in great auditoriums where his sense of appreciation of his audience would be negligible.
 No Pay for Lectures
 Shaw probably is one of the finest public speakers living, but his subject. or the purpose of the meet ing that draws him. must arouse his interest or his sympathy. Good busi- ness man that he Is. Shaw never &C., cepts penny for his lectures.
 The American who can organize a Fabian society might still entice him to America. But the New York so- ciety hostess who offered him }25,- GOO to cross the ocean, dine with her. converse with her guests for an hour or so and take the next boat home If he wanted to, won't land Shaw, though he lives as long as Methuselah himself.
 Here in England Shaw is deluged with invitations, pleas and demands that he be present at all sorts of private and public functions, but those who invite his usually must be satisfied with a postcard.
 Answering an invitation to parti- cipate in Tudor pageant, Shaw re- piled. T have somehow impressed tha public as remarkable young man. but now that I am over 70 and a good deal the worse for hard wear. I find all sorts of youthful activities pressed on me. You must let me off; the only pageant ex- pect to attend henceforth is my funeral.'

Noel veritsna's Urgeat Appeal for
 MAAee's Help ArOases Her Sym-
 pathy, and She Agrees to the Se-
 cFct Meeting .....
 I passed Noel Veritzen's appeal over to Lillian as soon as had read it. for there was nothing in the note which gave any .nkiing of the req son for his desperate need of advice. was sure, however. that his be- trothal to the Princess Olina, which Mary had overheard and related to me. was the quandary which he was facing.
 Lillian read the note through, and then looked at me with eyes that held amusement and compass sion.
 ''The poor lad." she said. That touch of having no one of whom to ask advice save you ought to be read to old Phil to the tempo of blacksnake whip around his ankles. The boy has no close woman rela- tive. has he? I never heard of any,
 His mother is dead" returned. "and always have understood that hesvaa an only child. although l do not believe That either Noel or his father eyer said so.''
 Phil wouldn't" Lillian nodded. That old lad put lock on his mouth when he was about sixteen and hid the key in safety deposit box. The only person I've ever known 10 hear him talk on any thing pertaining 10 his history is yourself. He sure dished you plentiful helping that time when he told you about his early romance with Queen Olga, Olina's mother, and that he himself was a left handed cousin of the King of Trans Nania. I've always been most flat tered that he gave you permission to pass along the dope to me, al- though I'd Nike to iron him out flat for planning 50 outlandish a thing as the marriage Of his son 10 Queen Oiga's daughter. But all this isn't huttering any parsnips for Noel. Of course you're going to send yes back by Jerry Ticer. I'll drive you over 10 Bridgchampton, and when you are ready to have me meet you there again give mo ring from wherever you're dining and Harry and I will run over for you"
 NOcl's "ReasOn"
 She picked up the note and glanced over it again.
 Isn't this precious?" she nsked. "I do not want to come to the house-for reasons- 'Reasons,' Of course. spelling Mary in capital letters. Do you suppose he knows yet"
 That Mary and Georges are en- gaged?" I finished for her. "No, how could he? It was oAy this afternoon that it happened, and Mary is waiting only until Georges gets back to his hotel to telephone him that she wishes him to tell mo- Lody until she sees him again."
 well" Lillian fixed her eyes upon me. Are you going to tell Noel about it?"

PLAYING ALONE
By Alice Judson Peale

The little child should be quite dappy when left to himself for an hour with plenty of interesting play materials and plenty of free space to play in. He should not need mother or nurse to tell him what to do. When things get into snarl and his toys won't do what he wants them to he should not cry for help and get it. He should be 50 thor Cughly absorbed in what he is do- ing that he is oblivious to the ex- istence of everyone.
 When the child is unable to play conten:edly by himself it is a sign that he has come to rely too much on the attention of adults, that he cares more about being entertained and fused over than about discov. cring the world directly for him. self.
 This is bad for him since it ran- ders him unwholesomely dependent on others, able to live only through their attention and approval instead of through his own first hand ex' pcriences.
 If the child has been thus spoil, cd he must be helped gradually tt become more independent. If he is used to his mothers company il may only serve to produce emotion. al scenes if he is suddenly shut uI inu his own room by himself. Hi: mothers distress at his cries moro than likely will make her relen, and no improvement will have beer made.
 It would be better for the mothe, to begin his new training by leav. ing the room in which he is play. ing quite casually and returning as casually few minutes later, pay. ing no notice to his protest at hcl absence. Gradually the length O time she absents herself can be in creased so that the child will scarce | ly notice the change.

The eight children of Danny Meadow Mouse left home at very early age. By the time they were a month old they were out in th9 Great World. Doesn't that seem like a very early age? But in the life of a Meadow Mouse it isn't so 'arly. No. sir, it isn't so early. You sec. some of those children would have families of their own before they were two months old.
 You will remember that the hay stack under which Nanny and Dam ny Meadow Mouse had been living and where they had had their fam lily of eight children, had been car ried away. Now. before this hap rened the children, or most of them, had left home for good. But all of them were living under the old haystack. They had scattered, hut they had been wise enough 10 know that there could be no better place than right there under that haystack.
 Then had come the terrible fright. That was when Farmer Browns Boy had come to get the hay 10 take it up to the barnysrd. There had been grand scattering of all the mice that were living under meath that haystack. Of course, leading away from that haystacl1 were many little tunnels under the snow. and 1t was into these tunnels that the frightened Mice had gun. gone another Some had gone only a short distance: others had kept on going as long as they could find open little tunnels along which to run.
 Now t is one of tho happy pro- visions Of old Mother Nature that her little people shall quickly re- cover from fright. They may be ter rihly frightened. but in even few minutes. if they arc undisturbed they may have wholly recovered from that fear. II was so with all inc young Mice when they were thus driven out into inc Great World They were lt first terribly frighten- ed, but within a few minutes fear had given way 10 curiosity and in 2 few minutes moro they had quite forgotten what had happened be- hind them. So it is with most of tn. little people Of the Green Meadows and tr2 Green Forest. and a yer, good thing il is that Il is so.
