Talks p66A2 &&f [ pare1,ts
CRi ELIN By Alice JuGsOn PeaIp

The spectacle of a cat playing with a mouse is noU a pretty one.
 1nstinctiyely most of us Woul1 shield a young child from the sight of anything so cruel. But few Of us are altogether clear in our minds as to the attitude we wish 10 assume in relation to cruelty as it must in evitably touch the life of any child.
 We want our children to respect life, to show q decent consideration for creatures weaker and more help ess than they. But we do not want them to be sentimental or quixotic.
 They should accept the extermi- nation of vcrmin without a shudder. They should bring hearty appetitcs 10 beef steak or lamb chop.
 If we preach the sentimental doc urine of the saCreGncSs of all life the child sooner or later must ob- serve the discrepancy between our preachments and our practice. It is best to be realistic in the first place. At the same time we should select our children's experience with un- avoidable cruelty in such manner that they will not be rudcly shocked.
 First of all, We must be clear in our own minds. We must admit that only to the human race is life at all sacred. IT, the relative se- curity which we have won for our selves on earth we can perhaps af- ford a few generous gestures and a sensible, altruiStic kindliness to crva- turcs less powerful than ourselves, This, reduced to the simplest terms and concrete situations, the child readily can understand.
 He vii! be solicitous of the vel fare of his pets, for he can realize that they are creatures whom he has made utterly dependent upon himself.
 He can keep his Zcst for meat even though, as he grows older, he learns it's brutal history He never may wish to see a cat torture a mouse but neither will he try 10 rescue the mouse nor teach the eat ethics.

Phil Veritzen's Insistent Request to See Madge Alone Worries Her She Fears Dicky's Jealousy.

She EeafS DlCkyS JedIous5.
 Philip Neritzen's suave but in sistent request that he see me alone as soon as possible was not uneX- pected. Ever since l saw his eyes Hash to Princess Olinas flushed face as she brought out her halt- conscious protesting 'No.' at the news of Prince Georges betrothaL l had known that sooner or later he would come to me for an eXplana- tion of the incident. AS l reluc- tantly turned toward him l saw that he was with difficulty conceal ing wrath and dismay and resigned myself to become the recipient Of those time-honored queries of newspaper lead: ''Who? What? When? Where? How"
 But before I answered him my eyes involuntarily went in search of Dicky in the fervent hope that he was not near enough to hear my employers request. In the prep arations for the announcement dln- ner and the excitement of coping with the spies who purposely had been admitted to the tiger trap, ' Dicky's dolor seemed to have de parted, and there had been a dis tinct lessening in the strain Of our relations l knew his aversion to Philip Veritzen. and ] dreaded any incident whihc would house his ct 1-1tn
 I need not have worried, I told myself caustically as I saw my husband seated in a big chair with Edith Fairfax perched upon the arm of it. She had taken one of the magazines from the reading table, and, using it for q desk, was rapid ly drawing or writing something in which Dicky apparently was deeply absorbed. I just had time to see her look up at Dicky with a tri- umphant glance and to see his nod of approval before Mr, Nerit2en spoke again.
 T am sorry" he began, with in- tense displeasure in his voice but I interrupted him quickly all my scruples vanishing at the sight of the absorbed conversation in which Dicky and Edith were engaging.

 Forgive me for delaying my an- swer," I said, smiling at Mr. Nerit- zen. T was just wondering wher" I could talk to you without inter- ruption. as you ask.
