 l shot q sidelong glance at my young son. but his face held no trace of guile as he went on:
 Its a good thing you weren't here, Nuns. They'd have carried you off sure. you're so pretty" he uttered the tribute with such naive sincerity that I felt little glow around my heart: then l resumed my attention to his absurd farrago,
 Juniors Tale
 "They almost took Aunt Rather ire" he went on, but they dropped her for some reason or other. And they were going 10 make Katie walk the plank if she didn't stop squcaling, but she stopped just in time"
 That Was-fortunate--" I said banally as my son paused and look ed steadily at me, patiently waiting for comment.
 You bet your boots" he assented. "I guess if it hadn't been for me she'd have had to go. l told her to shut up or they'd send her over sure, and one of the men said The little gamccock's right That's what he called me, Nuns, a game cock. Pretty nifty, huh?"
 Indeed, yes" I agreed solemnly, wondering, as I had done many times before, how l should deal with the highly Colored fictional narra- tives which Junior substitutes for sober fact or even brings forth with no foundation whatever.
 From the time when not yet able to speak plainly, he told me tale of kitty that made cake for him and then ate it up, he has told us many weird tales of imaginary hap pcnings in his life and colored SC highly the real exciting happenings that no one could recognize them Curiously enough, he is essentially truthful in all other respects, and never once has denied any mischief for which he is responsible, even when he knows punishment would follow. For that reason, and rccog- nizing, as We thought, certain rapt absorption in his own yarns on the little chaps part-he patently believed every word he is uttcring-- we never have curbed his imagina- tion or spoiled his stories by pre- tending to doubt them. But it seem ed to me as l listened to this last mclodramatic tale that he was get ting too old to be drawn. so wholly into a world of pretense. With the consciousness of coWardice, however l resolved to postpone my eXpostu- lations until the end of his story, or to shift them to Katherine, and meekly-and weakly-asked, And what happened then, dear?"

 In choosing the winter clothes for the small child there are certain points which it is well to keep in mind.
 Clothing for the small child must be warm, light, durable, Washable- and simple to put on and remove.
 Heavy ovcrcoats which seem so adequate and sensible are really not as satisfactory as soft, rather light weight coats which may be worn over one or two sweaters as seems necessary. The woolen- one-p piece play suit with q hOokless fastener garment for tho title child who will be playing in the snow during the coming months.
 Children who live in well heated house all winter may be kept in cotton underwear throughout the year, additional warmth necessary for the out of doors being obtained by dressing them in more wooden OulfI SLllll'illS
 Cotton underclothing Is desirable not only because it is more comfort able and healthy in the modern furnace heated house but also be- causc it stands the boiling which is desirable for the really exquisite cleanliness with which we like 10 start the little one out of the nurs cry each day.
 The child of two or more is nor mally eager to learn to dress and un- dress himself His clothing should be devised with an idea Of making use of this first urge toward inde pcndenCc. FastcningS should be as simple as possible. They should come in front where he can easily learn to manage them.
 The perfect underClothing for the small child is not the familiar "com bination" but separate shirt and drawers or boomers. These last should be made with a smooth band in front and an elastic across the | back. The -year-old readily ! learns 10 manage them without hclr | and with a resulting growth in his feeling of independence.

tionate Onslaught and Is Regaled with a Highly CoIorcd Tale of the

hth1 '.
 Katherine was better than her word. It was less than the thirty seconds she had named when she swung open he door of her room. On the opposite side door was shutting, and 1 knew that Katie had gone through it on her way to the Kitchen, cajoled by Katherine into postponing the fearful interview which l knew my little maid felt was hers by right after the trying experience which had been hers.
 But my eyes and thoughts were concerned with something infinitely more important than Katic's wishes or Katherine's thoughttulncss, much as I valued the latter. Through q wide doorway at the side l could see into my boys room adjoining Katherine's, and from his bed q small figure in pajamas came so fast into my arms that flying seem ed to be the only word appropriate for the loComotion. Two sturdy arms went around my neck so tightly that I could hardly breathe, while his equally strong little legs curlcd round my body in so yise-like q grip that If Katherine had not put a steadying hand on my elbow 1 should have fallen down beneath the affectionate onslaught of my small son.
 CharacteristiCally, however, she said no word of reproof or caution to him. Although, by our agreement she was to have supreme authority over Junior during the time Of my contract with Philip Neritzen, yet it was a rare occasion, indeed, when she exercised that authority in my presence. And when my little lad s first esctatiC embrace had spent it. self she drew up q big chair o the fire.
 Sit here, Madge," she said "and cuddle him to your hearts content. He has q long and exciting story 10 ell you. I'll be in the hall whenever Il want me-
 She caught up her work basket from the table as she went out of the room, and I knew she was bound for her favorite seat, q bay window in the upper hall, from which she could look out over the view of woodland and dipping mead ow and the ocean in the distance which we all love so well.
 "Pirates" At the Farmhouse
 "Mother" Juniors excited voice blended with the sound of the clos ing door. Do you know what hap pened here last night? Pirates got in"
 "Pirates." I ejaculated, prepared to act the role of surprised listener 10 a blood-curdling tale. Are you sure? What did they look like? Did they hurt anybody"
 But Junior was ready with a coun- ter question.
 Did Aunt Katherine tell you about it?" he demanded, and his voice was heavy with a tragic pre- monition of disappointment.
 "She didn't say pirates got in," I

Striped Chipmunk had lots Of fun with Flip before Flip found out that Striped ChipmUnk was simply fool ing with him.

After that Striped Chipmunk could be as imuudant as he pleased without aroUa.uE the least bit Of interest On Flp'a part.
 Early one morning, however, Flip discovered Striped Cnipnunk a long way from the old stone wall. That is. if Was q long way for such q little fellow as Striped Nh!pmunE. He was over on the edge or the road in Farmer Browns dooryard.

illnesses were serious, and of the 52, nine were infectious diseases.
 The most common illness from which the boys suffered was ton sllitics, of which there were 70 cases; the next most common wcr" cuts, stings and bruises, Of which there were go cases. Then there were chills, malaria and malaiac 10 the extent of 28 cases and PC cases of fever. There were 2l tractures and dislocatIons, 14 sprains, 15 cases of constipation and collie and 14\other stomach troubles,
 There were only II cases of asth- ma, bronchitis and catarrh, eight of influenza and seven of pneumonia and plcurisy. In the dispensary as sociated with the hospital, 27l boys were. treated for cuts and wounds, 125 had boils and 1o8 had scalds burns, sunburns and bruises.

ACTION AS. DISCISSION

It appears that the city and the New Haven railroad are having a bit of discussion as to the division of costs relative to the construction of the new Black Rock bridge. That perhaps is a normal development, Such an important matter cannot be decided without a little discussion pro and con. each side wishing to get a slight advantage over the ether. But the people do not expect excessive discussion. They expect ac- ton.
 We do not expect Mayor Faonessa to let this business fall through aft CT getting so far forward toward naturalization The new bridge should be completed by next spring or the middle or the summer.

THE FOSHAY FLOP

The crumbling Of the W, B. Foshay Company in Minneapolis, a public utility holding concern en- bracing companies from Alaska tc Mexico and owning a 52-story sky scraper in it's home city, was clear ly product of excessive expansion. The concern, rated at s20,000,00o. is said to have liabilities Of l2,00o, 900. Chief interest in the crash lies in just how super holding concern holds onto its assets and just what they consist of. Every plant embrac- cd in the Foshay enterprises Is worth just as much as it was before. Nothing mas altered except the for tunes of the super holding company. It's stock was not listed on any eX- change. being sold only by salesmen One gets the impression at this dis tance that "ovcr-eXpanson' is a mild term.
