CILHI tTING CURIOSITY

 Curiosity is the mark of intrlIi- Ecnc". tho mark Of inc rcsponsiy, nervous system which helps it's pos Sessor 10 acquire q wealth or cx- p"rienco and, through experience. knowledge and joy in living.
 The curiosity of Inc toddlcf seems scarcely 10 correspond ;c this high sounding description. re those of us who live with him u is nor" likely 10 appear as mcre nosinoss' and good deal Of a nuisance.
 The little child wants 10 know what IS in every package. 10 handle and smell and. al T certain stagc. explore with his tongue everythins that he can.
 He wants 10 know what things are made Of and tears apart his own toys and some Of your owr valued possessions in the process or finding out.
 There seems 10 be little conncc. tlon between this early sort o' curiosity and the later variety which expresses itself in formulated questions of a more or less intel lcctual nature.
 Yet one grows 10 a large extent rom the other. and 10 derive the child Of opportunities to develop the first i3 likely 10 impoverish the second.
 The child who is a little older asks endless questions about every )hlng. His curiosity is no respector oi persons or things. He makes startling inquiries about whatever h" sees going on in the world around him. He is rooted to the spot when he secs a derrick in ac- tlon, men digging a ditch or a sprlnklnE wagon on the street.
 Permitting the child to cultivate iIs curiosity requires Of us not only patience, but active cooperation. We must be prepared to submit to the Inter and confusion incidental to his lnNcStlgation. We must answer ond- SIS questions and take time to lei nm absorb the intriguing spectaclcS encountered on inc daily walk.

UNC' BILLY GETS A DINNER
By Thornton W. Burgess

l find it much the wisest plan To make the best Of what I can.
 the Billy Possum
 Inc Billy Possum had climbed over the henyard fence and down inside the yard. He stopped to listen for moment. All he heard was the faint clucking of some of the hens as they crowded together on the roosts inside the hcnhouse. Then Unc' Billy made straight for the little door which the hens use. He remembered that little door. He had used 1t a long time ago. He remembered very we'll what good time he had had in that hcnhousc. H. remembered inc cggs he had he could hold he became sleepy and curlo" mp for a nap in one of the nests and there was found by Farmer Browns Boy.
 If An gets in" said Inc Billy 10 himself. "Ah is comm right out again as soon as .th gets me a chicken. An won go 10 sleep in there no mo"
 By this time Inc Billy Has al the little door, lt vas closed. Such a disappointment as that WAS, Unc' Riuy tried 10 opcn that little door. He pushed r. He tried to pull il. He tried 10 slide f Y you'd nofe 8 little, which was all tho u,o- provoking. l. would moYc but fl wouldn't open
 Finally Inc BHly gave Ip trying to get in that way. He clW,hrd rp On the roof of tho hcuhcGs". There vas TO way in. Those hnEs were safe and Cnc' Billy knew lt, There was 10 bc no chicken dinner for him that night. H. know now that Fcddy Fox must have caught . chicken outside. He knew that Red dy couldn't possibly have go, into the hcHhousc.
 "Ah done got 10 get somethin' 10 eat somewhere" m1ttcred Unc' Billy as he climbed down from the henhouse. If An can fin enough fo' to keep me tonight mobbn An have better luck m the moruu."
 No", just as Inc Billy reached the ground. a hal'-2rown rat poEeJ his head out from q lrNc hole un- der the hcnhouso. II" didn't Sec Inc Billy, but Inc Billy saw him. Tnc' Billy didn't move. For mo- 1ncnt or two the rat sat there with his head out. Then he came wholly cut and started toward q pan in which Farmer Browns Boy had brought out some table scraps for the hens. The hens had eaten only T part Of these scraps. That rat never did reach thc pan. Unc' Billy can move quickly @hcn it comes 10 catching thnro. H. had that rat be- fore the rat knew he was about
 4 little later Unc' Billy Ios5um licked his lips and walked over 10 the pan There were table scraps there that smellcd very good, in- decd, 10 Inc Billy They would do splcndidly 10 top off the rat dime" he had had. He wasted no time.

There's Room For Books---h Every Room

New York, Noy. 1G.-Books are decorative asset 10 any household as well as concrete evidence of the active mental life carried on there in. Their disposition, as well as their constant increase, is often d 1 problem.
 Hardly a room in q modern home should be without them. Certainly ali the bedrooms and living rooms should have their quota and every kitchen and service quarters need | space for cook books. accounting books and books on household sub jcCts.
 Libraries as such are becoming Increasingly rare. The living room absorbs them. or the masters study or the books that would fill them are disposed of about the house generally The booEishly inclined hunt avidly for jOgs and corners and bounce with joy upon any that could he converted into or house book shelves.
 In placing books, however, the general balance of room should be considered. For instance. in an old fashioned house where the fire place carries rather heavy mantcl book cases flanking it throw that end Of the room out of proportion. l. would be better to balance that fireplace with cases on the opposite wall, not necessarily q single unit, but possibly divided towards the corners.
 Lending Dignity to Room
 Sometimes a long room with 3 group of windows at the end can achieve an amazingly dignificd and important effect by running the book cases 10 the ceiling on either side with the top of the bookcase continuing across the top. giving ample space. in turn, for our mod crn obnoxious radiators.
 If ones impulse is to invest in furniture rather than built-in foa- trrcs, the type Of 18th century brcaF-front bookcase with a flat top desk incorporated in the center and nicely leaded doors above is q most decorative unit for any living room CT library in that period. If put on the opposite wall 10 a man. tel, it insures a splendid start to- wards balance These bookcases may be had in different lengths, from six 10 ten feet. The same idea could be simply designed and built in, in white wood, and painted with the room.
 Nichcs cut in the thickness Of the wall, and sometimes. ill old houses doorWays no longer used. are pleas ing, especially if they have nice square or arched tops. A pair of corner Cupbo1rds or possibly even four might be built into a nicely symmetrical room on square lincs with evenly spaced window and door openings.
 A bedroom so arranged that on" cannot read in bed is poor indeed. Guest rooms should have the ncc- cssary equipment. Many people, n this hurried age, find their best time for quiet and rcpOscful read ing just before sleeping. Two bcdS with q ta blc surmountcd by 2 wall shelf, make as good a group as one can get, often. The pyramidal com position with the shelf as the apex makes a pleasing pattern and serves a useful purpose to boot. Sometimes pair of shelves over the bed looks well but there is that uncomfortable feeling that they might fall and in jure the sleeper.
 4 Place for cover Size" Things
 Every complete menage should have some suitable place for port fclios and sized books, as well as for music and records. The latter can be nicely disposed in high

 "Fictionized Biography"
 But where's Strachey was real ly learned in the subjects which he chose and wrote with the greatest precision, he has been initiated by writers who have frequently known little and writ ten loosely. All that many of them have really tried to catch from him was his irony, and that they have frequently turned into tiresome sarcasm CT conventional cynicism.
 The publication of another book by Lytton Straehey, Eliza beth and Essex" ought to call the attention of the public to the greatest difference between the work of the master and his fol lowers. There are already signs that the dreadful type of writing known as 'fictionized biography is passing out of favor. It is to
