SENSE TRAINING
By Alice Judson Pcalc

Sense training is commonly thought Of as an elaborate tech- nique involving much apparatus and professional skill. Actually any home offers plenty of opportunity for this sort of education.
 Sense training should come naturally as q result Of curiosity about the everyday world. While the exploration of the family living quarters in most homes remains forbidden. the child at least should be given the freedom of the nursely y and the kitchen. He should he all lowed to investigate and experiment with everything but the knife drawer and the stove.
 The odds and ends which are thrown away in every household are valuable mat erial from which the child can learn about hardness and softneas. smoothness and roughness, nexibility and rigidity. The scrap bag with it's bits of cloth of various thicknesses and textures and the entire range of colors offers fine training for eyes and fingers. The hot and cold water taps, the too hot radiator. the ice in the re- frigerator. the furniture, bed cover- ings window glass. all the infinite
 variety of things which are found in the most comm onplace environ
 ment, can give the child a rich ex- 1 perience.
 The child who is not allowed tc look or touch or smell of things as
 much as he would like to, who is
 rushed through his bath, hustled into his clothes and put into room ! with nothing but few tiresomt | toys to play with. is missing an i'm | portant part of his education. Whil, he should not be permitted tt 1 dawdle he must D" allowed 10 eX

Mary Reveals to Madse That Her
 ssase .'Career" Was Not the De-
 c,ding Factor h Her Agreeing to
 yertt.oa's ''Coaditious.
 There was a note in Mary's ex- cited voice which stirred me with fear that the girls ethical standards were being weakened by the pas .ionate sense of injustice, and the resentment which she patently was cherishing again Philip Vcritzen. Only too well I remembered the day she just had recalled to me when she had confessed to her employer that she had broken his training schedule and risked the danger Of undesirable publicity as his protesee by her escapade as the masked dancer at the night club. It had been one of the big moments of her life, a distinct turning point in her character development and my memory fondly held the picture or her tense young figure going brave- ly to meet the verdict of the man rom whom she expected no leni- ence. Yet now her voice and words held an undeniable sheer at her nigh resolve of that hour.
 I could do nothing. now. however. save provide a road on which her excited story could travel. and laid down another plank by prompt answer to her question.
 Naturally, dear. I always have had a theory as to the conditions MT. Veritzen imposed upon you. but I'd rather hear them from you"
 "Yes, suppose it wasn't hard to dope out" she replied. Well! in the first place the old crocodile told me he'd known I was the masked dan- oer all the time, and that he'd been waiting to see whether I'd be honest enough to come and tell him about it. He could give Ananias three strokes a hole and win eight up. that old buzzard. But of course I had to pretend to swallow it."
 I told myself apprehensively that II Mary applleu dhotHei ho"o VI cutlandish beast or bird to stately Philip Veritzen, I could not be re- sponsible for the behavior of my laughter muscles.
 Then he handed out long spiel about my being the first protegee who ever had defied his orders in the slightest degree without being kicked off the earth pronto. l guess that's right at that, though. isn't it?"
 T am sure of it," told her truthfully.
 But that was on your account" she said to my astonishment and embarrassment. was 70 furious that I could not keep my cheeks from flaming as she rattled on.
 He told mo that he was reluc- tant to grieve you by depriving me of the chance he had promised you he would give me, and that he would take me back upon one con- dition-that would cure Noel Of what he very kindly called the boys blind infatuation.'

I "Oh! there weren't any ifs or .ands' or 'maybes,'" she went on bitterly. He made me promise that I wouldn't speak to Noel excep. when it would be noticeable not to talk to him. and that would make Noel believe I had no use for him. preferably by pretending to be in- terested in some other young man. That's the reason the old hyena has always grinned whenever Georges has been dancing around" I laughed outright as l had told myself I would have to do. and after a puzzled look at me she gave me an answering grin of compre- hension.
 'I guess I have made a menag- erie out of the old fool" she said. but those are mild names com pared with the ones I'd like to call him if you weren't lady. I'm per fectly willing to forget was raised to be one.
 "I was such an ambitious little fool" she went on slowly. that tn- stead ot giving him the swift kick in the slats he deserved. l agreed to his conditions, and promised to show Noel the way to the sidewalk. And now everything's out,-gone - departed-and I'm on the outside. looking in. But will make that old lad pay? Just watch me few years from now. I know now where i I can hurt him the most. and little Mary isn't the gel who won't spread the mustard plaster"
 That she was talking wildly. childishiy. I know. But still there was something steely in her voice which showed how deep was her hurt. hated to have her dwell upon Philip Veritzens cruelty any longer. but I could not accept her self deprecatory explanation that 1t was her ambition alone which made her accede to her employers con- ditions. Both Lillian and I had sus- pected that he skilfully had sounded another note. and I put our sus- picion into words.
 'Tell me, Mary" I commanded. "was your ambition the only rea- son you made that promise? Didn't Mir. Veritzen threaten you that if Noel persisted in his affection to you. his father would disown him again. and wasn't it fear for Noel rather than for yourself that was behind your decision?'
 Her glance fell away from mine, and her cheeks flamed. Then her eyes lifted to mine again resolutely.
 "I don't see why shouldn't spill the whole plate of beans." she said. "Yes. he did hand out that very threat, but would have done what he wanted, anyway. My career was at stake. But I've got it cinched now, I suppose. came very near tossing it over the railing though. Haven't you ever noticed how I've been saving money lately. and guessed why?"

Danny Meadow Mouse was grow ing more and more needless. He thought it great fun to so up on the surface of the snow and scamper about there. When the snow was soft. he left little tracks He forgot that sharp eyes would see these and would know what they meant. Now this is just what did happen.
 There had been light crust over the snow that covered the Green Meadows. Then there had been very light fall of snow. It was just after this stopped in the night that Danny took it into his head to so up and look around. He climbed his favorite weed stalk and popped out. Then for a while he had good time. scampering from one weed to another and helping himself to seeds from each. Finally he went down below again. Of course. he had left behind him little footprints all about in the snow. Very early the next morning Blacky the Crow vis- ited the Green Meadows in >Iest of something to eat. Now Blacky is not only keen-eyed. but he is quick wit ted. He understands what he sees. Elacky saw those little tracks in the snow. You see, he Was flying low and as he looked down he could see all those little tracks of Danny Meadow Mouse. They interested Blscky right away.
 'Aha!" said he to himself "A Mouse has been feeding here. If he has come once. he is very like o come again. I see there are still scme seeds on these weedtops. think I'll wait while and see what happens"
 So Rlacky alighted on the snow l short distance away. Then. in that stately manner of his. he walked over until he was among the weeds where Danny Meadow Mouse had been feeding and had left his racks. He looked sharply at all The weeds about him. In moment or two he discovered what he was looking for. He discovered that close to the stalk of one of those weeds was hole in the snow. l, was just about big enough for q plump Meadow Mouse to pass through. Blacky's eyes twinkleG when he saw if. He moved eve, within striking distance of the hole Then he prepared to be patient and wait. As he waited he studied thu things about him. He soon discov cred that there were two or thre, holes in the snow close by tn; weed stalks. This was rather disap pointing. There was no way of tell ing which one of those holes tn, blouse he was waiting for nigh use.
 For Q long time nothing happen. cd. Blacky was beginning 10 los, patience. His feet were getting cold He was just about to give if up fol that day. when he saw one of thos, weedtops a short distance away be. gin to shake. Blacky knew instantl,

 When the heart gives out it is im- possible to get another one.
 In a recent consideration of the danger of heArt disease. Dr. l.. M. Warfield has pointed out that we have two kidneys and two lungs and great deal more intestincs than we need, but we have only one heart and it is among the most important of the organs of the body.
 Fortunately for the life of man. kind, the heart has enormous power of recuperation and a great amount of reserve. It is, however, merely human tissue and will wear out under continuous over- strain and break down under the the attack of disease.
 Measuring the Load It is for this reason that every man. at least those who have passed middle age. should be able to answer correctly the question 1 How is your hcart?"

 Almost everyone knows th carly signs of heart failure. bu similar symptoms to mild degre lnay be brought on by other condi tions. Swelling of the feet, short ness of breath on exercise, pal, and similar symptoms arc not al ways indicative of heart disease.
 It is only the competent physl clan who can tell by listening t the hearts beat, by the use c functional tests. and by othe methods involving the use of tn N-ray, the size of the heart, it capacity and it's need for rest.

THE EVENING STORY

gerbread, apple pie and coffee, their
guest became loquacious.
Il get fed up with the youngsters at
the MILL" he confessed. They're al
ways posing to make me notice them
instead of having their minds on their
jobs and it makes me cross. Now, you
are sensible people-gosh, but your wife
can cook, Pendleton! Live within your
means and don't try to run after fads.
I'm going to remember you and slate
you for a promotion. And as for your
wife-would you let a lonely old man
like me come and have cup of coffee
in your kitchen now and then, to re-
mind me of the days when Mary and
I started out just this way?"
There were tears in Bonnie Mays
eyes when she answered. "Yap! Yap!"
said Nick, offering a hospitable paw.
Nick is reconciled to Meryvale these
days. His leash is thing of the past,
and almost daily he strolis in a lordly
manner into Perigo SCOTS private Office
and repoSes in leather and mahogany
chair.
Sometimes the old man takes Nick
and George-who is head bookkeeper
noW--in his roadster and speeds toward
them with gingerbread and hot mo-
lasSeS cookies, or an old-fashioned
short-cake, and where Nick is always
fourth at the kitchen table.
Where did he get his pull?" the
other men ask enviously.
Nick cocks a knowing ear, but George
no information. But fox
terriers promise to come back into
style in Meryvale.
