Talks To q 66Q 8 &&fs pat'er,ts
ADVANTAGES" By Alice JudsOn Peale

In their eagerness to give their children every advantage. parents often waste their children's time and energy as well as their own money.
 Many of us can remember weary, hateful hours spent at practicing the piano when we had not the slightest interest in music or at least not in the kind of mu-ic that we were forced painfully to study.
 The extra lessons in music, lan- guages and art which parents are often all too ready |, to give their children are no part of the mini mum knowledge requirements which every child must have. These are amply taken care of in the public schools.
 They are a luxury, and a deadly, futile one if the child has himself no real interest in them They con- sume hours which the child might much more profitably spend in play in vacant lots or in occupation with obscure hobbies of his own.
 Only when a child shows a real uCoilC M SoifiG VI tlliS CAll d hllo"l- edge and training is there good req son to give it to him. It would, of course, be quite wrong to deprive a child with a talent for music of the opportunity to take lessons.
 Yet even when a child's talents are outstanding he should not be urged. If he asks for lessons let him have them with the understanding that he may take perhaps half a dozen. At the end of that time if he is making progress and if he himself is willing to work, he may have more.
 This plan is much more sound than the common one of forcing a whole course of musical or artistic education upon a child simply be- cause he at one time thought he de- sired it.

Prescriptions
 Of all the ritual that the patient ! goes through during his illness, probably nothing mystifies him more than the prescription. Written in ig-latin, in measures he does not understand, the pre- scription2 is a magical script-or if he is a drug nihilist, so much ho- cuspocus.
 i It is neither.
 Time past there was an element of magic in prescription-writing. and much of hocus-pocus. too. Today there is a reassuring body of knowledge of the effects of drugs l on the human body in health and disease, which makes prescription writing an utmose exact science.
 In the beginning mans search for remedies appears to have been based on the conviction that the ruling power planted disease on earth to afflict mankind, but at the same time placed there also an efficient remedy for every illness.
 
 of the privileges and practices of the priest.
 i The growth Of science in time 1 substituted the modern conception of disease causation. Mankind then set itself to the | task of studying in-the laboratory and at the bedside of the sick the effects of many chemical substances found ready-made in nature, or compounded out of simple sub stances in the laboratory.
 For the empirically gathered masses of herbs and curses. that prevailed in the days of our fore fathers, there has been substituted the modern pharmacopoeia con- ssting of drugs the nature and effect of which have been carefully studied and the value of which have been established.

Y Jack Frost had arrived. There was no doubt about it. He had stolen down from the far north in the night. He had been very busy. He had visited all the nut trees. He had -pinched the husks of many of the ripe nuts and opened them. so that the little brown nuts were showing, even if they did not fall. He had covered the ground with white 'hoarfrost that almost looked like a light snow. Yes, indeed Jack Frost had been busy.
 Impy the black Chiprnunk was up even before jolly, round, bright MT. Sun. Little Mrs. lmpy was up with him. The minute il was light enough they raced for the nut trees in the Green Forest But early as they were, others were before them. 'Woof. Woof." said voice. That was Buster Bear.
 "Chir-r-r-r-r-r" rang out anoth- CT voice in response. It was a sharp, angry voice.
 Impy grinned. He knew that that "eAo 1ii4o SOuolIl, NlidlltltI llle IGu Squirrel.

Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel and Rusty the Fox Squirrel were there 0trip about the time that Impy and Mrs lmpy did. Even little Whitefoot the Wood Mouse wag there, although no one knew 1t, for Whitefoot took care that none should gee him.
 - Now, in spite of Chatterer's scold- Ing, and in spite of the fact that Buster Bear now and then emitted a grumblyrumbly growl, there real fy was very little quarrelng over the nut supply.

 How they did stuff those pockets. Had you met Striped Chipmunk or Impy or Mrs. Impy on their way home, you certainly would have thought that they had the humps. IT you had spoken to them, they wouldn't have said a word in reply They couldn't have. Their cheeks were so swelled out with the nuts they were carrying that they couldn't use their tongues for talk ing.
 +' My goodness, how they did work Back and forth, back and forth they raced It seemed as if their little legs must ache, Perhaps they did. It made no difference. This was har- vest time and those nuts were to be harvested and stored away. There

Loves Reawakening The Story of Wfe's Triumph Over Jealousy
 By ADELE GARRISON

You mean he hoped Mary'd give Noel the run-around, with exit on the fire escape" Dicky said with such raillery in his voice for what he evidently considered my pedantic phrasing that l flushed and stam- mered. I was a bit resentful too. After all, 1 said to myself, Mary was Dicky's niece not mine. If he could take her danger-I could use no lesser word-so lightly, why should I worry about it?
 I was abashed by my own petti- ness the next instant. I knew that I would have been concerned over also that my love for her was as strong and abiding as if she were indeed my own blood kin" as my mother-in Jaw expresses it.
 Say it any way you like.' With 1 effort I purged my voice of resent ment. But 1 can see now that he had a subtler plan than that. He has studied her reactions" | i've understood he's quite an expert on feminine psychology" my | husband said dryly.

 terrible experience.

Feminine Psychology-Thats Phil {, Veritzen's Long Suit, and Madge
 Realizes Now Why Colin Cam-

BY ADELE GARRISON

 Dicky started at my tremulous exclamation, then looked down at me with a quizzical smile.
 What's on the troubled mind?" he asked. Then his eyes went out again to the graceful posturing fig .ures of Mary and Colin Cameron. But they came back to my face al most immediately.
 "Of course she loves it." he said. Do you know any normal girl of her age who wouldn't thrill at being chosen for young talkie star for an intricate dance like that? Mary is pretty insulated. I grant you by her yen for Noel, but she isn't fool proof. I don't mean she's in any danger of falling for the personality of the man, but"
 Veritzen's Sinister Scheme
 That's just it," I interrupted breathlessly. "It's the dancing, of course, but look at her face"
 Dicky looked at Marys rapt face and brilliant eyes and his voice sobered.
 T see what you mean" he said. ''She looks exactly as if she's had a drink too much or small shot of dope"
 'Then look at MT. Veritzen," l whispered.
 How much will you pay me for that job?" he retorted with a grin so infectious that. despite my anxiety for Mary,I could not help smiling widely at him.
 "Tll figure it out later" I told him, but tell me what you see"
 My employer was so absorbed in watching Mary and young MT. Cam eron that he did not see the ques- tioning stare Dicky gave him. 'The goggling, gloating old goat" my husband said in an undertone. "I put the old in for truth and to break up 'alliteration's artful aid (which I believe isn't approved by our best professors of English. But those are the only words to describe ~him. He's tickled pink over that '-dance-as pleased as if he's planned @the whole thing.''
 I. He has," I whispered tensely. <. Don't you see what his plan is? I ~knew he had something in his mind --when he brought Colin Cameron to that dinner the other night, but I thought he had the cynical idea that Mary would be swept off her feet by young Cameron's personality and the glamour investing him.

would be plenty of time to rest later.
 After a while Buster Bear had enough and went away and lay down for 9 nap, Long before this Lightfoot the Deer and Mr. and Mrs. Grouse had eaten all they could and had gone away. Chatterer, Rusty, Happy Jack and the Chipmunks kept right on working. As long as there was light enough for it to be safe, they worked harvesting those nuts. When at last MT. and Mrs. Impy made the last trip and emp tied their pockets in one of their storerooms, they found it was all they could do to get all those nuts in there.

Children who take lunches to school find their sandwiches more appetizing if mother takes the trouble to cut them in fancy shapes ever and anon.
 Sandwich cutters come in all kinds of shapes; card shapes, such as diamonds, clubs, hearts and spades, in animal shapes and in other fancy shapes. You need not take the trouble every day to do such extra work. But a single jelly and cheese sandwich cut like a dia- mond might do much for a child whose appetite lags.

needed for him. "Ahearn," said the Anawanda'
Club. "Ahearn," said the Union League. !
"Ahearn," said the Citizens Union The
newspapers were for him. Once in while
you'd see his name in the Outlook or the
Nation or the New Republic "patting his red
brawn" as the old piece in the reader says
more judges like Ahearn. Get the law en-J
forced Get it enforced"
He wasn't precisely the Ahearn of twenty-odd
years ago. 1t had CALLED him not to know the
law or to be tripped up in it, so he had taken
pains to learn it. It had hurt him to be re!
garded as an ignorant man, and he had SPENT
hours and hours trying to improve himself.
They say he read childrens textbooks onA
English grammar and all sorts Of writer's hand
books. History he loved, and he could read
essays Novels he couldn't stand. But most
of all he read the law.
A ND yet he was no lawyer Some of his
decisions are classically blunt and terse,
but most Of them contain no new idea. He
hadn't the mind for a lawyer. He hadn't the
admiration for subtlety. Subtlety and chicane
were synonymous to him. Contradictions in
logic baffied him, left him raging. Authority
that was his watchword. 'Stare deciSis' oughtz
to be written over his grave. There never was
more devout Roman Catholic than Judged
Ahearn.
So at length he had white head and IN
big old house in Yorkville that defied the ap-

to run 1t for him. He'd never had a son. and
MS wife died when his daughter was S years
old. Catherine, the girls name was, but he
never called her that. He called her Babe"
And she called him Judge" as her mother 8
had called him. mot Papa--Judge" she hadS
said, and stamped her tiny foot He'd laughed e
and hundred her. and he'd never stoppet F
humoring her; so she grew up to an obbligafc
of neighborly comments: eff she was ms
daughter" What else could you expect
an only child, and the judge so busy and alI2'
"A wild young one! Tch tch- If she VI.
my daughter"
But she was the judges daughter and he
loved her with the sullen, hot love of humor-
less man, an uncompanionable, austere man
a man who had no ability to express his love i
except with things. He hardly ever caressed i
her, and his words of endearment were fewer
than her birthdays. But she was as hot +
tempered and headstrong as he was, and after s
a fashion they understood each other and s
worried each other as lovers do
He hated her young men and tried to be
polite to them. They'd see him cycling them
as If he We're estimating contemptuously theif E
physical prowess, and 1t didn't make them s
comfortable. Finally, one Of them carried her
of. His first name was Knox. Imagine how
the judge must have liked that, and the civil
ceremony and all the rest Of it.
Knox was polo player and yachtsman
and too old for matrimony, to the judges way
OF thinking. That Is to say, he was 80. His
people were well-to-do and he had sort Of
job with an insurance company, which didn't

you himself Fact. He won't let the jury
do thing to you. II he gets the other idea,
good night. And he usually has it. He doesn't
believe innocent men ever get tried for any
thing, Ahearn doesn't You could have the
best case in the world. absolutely alright
and it wouldn't do you any good. Gosh, I've
been in there fighting two men, him and the
D. A., more than once. Law? That old buzz
card doesn't care about law. He makes up
him mind; that's all"
A ND down in the underworld the UNDER
world that Ahearn saw moving from the
waterfront to Allen street. to Fourteenth street,
to the Thirties to the Fifties and that's still
on the way uptown, they'd tell you about
ing but five years., 10 years. 20 years. The
Hot Seat. OATS him. Gees, when Whitley
Warren was waitin to go troo de Little Green
Door, for croakin a bull, his mother went to
see Ahearn. Do you think he wouldn't see
her? Huh! He her all right. Gees,
Judge. the kids only 49, she says to him.
God help YOU he says to her. No, you,
you, you help me- she says, and falls on her
knees to him. Judge, give him 20 years, give
him life. Dont-don't-he's all I got' she
says to him. He give Whitley the chair all
right It's wonder somebody don't bump
him of. They say, when he was only young
guy, Kid Banger-you know Kid Bangor that
got bumped off over in Hoboken in the chick
en-pulers' strike, yeah-well, the Kid said he'd
fix his clock for him. And this Ahearn, he
goes around to the Kids hang-out, the Tivoli
1t was a dump like the Haymarket-lookin'
for him. The Kid goes up to him and says,
'Howdy Counselor and Ahearn don't say
nothin', just looks at him, and by and by he
turns his back on him and walks out. Oh,
he amt yella. He amt got a heart the size
of louise, but he amt yella."
And the jurymen, the conscientious, upright
jurymen, too small or too virtuous to avoid
their duty! The looks Judge Ahearn would
give them If they came in five minutes late
from lunch, or If they pleaded sickness or said
they had objections to circumstantial evidence
or to maximum penalties! They feared the
judge, much, much more than they feared
the friends of the man in the dock.
What about the judges friends? Well, to
tell the truth, he had almost no friends.
Michael Cronin had asked him for a favor
years before, a suspended sentence for some
unfortunate and Ahearn wouldn't grant it.
Couldn't grant 1t, he said. "Ive given him
my word" said Cronin. you're asking me
for something can't give you," said Ahearn.
81 can't do it-that's ALL" "Suit yourself then"
said Cronin, and turned on his heel Mike,
Mike!" said Ahearn, starting after him; but
Cronin never turned.
There were any number of people to invite
the judge to dinner, and he loathed dinners.
He had the respect Of the community and its
impersonal friendship 1t had become a COM
out. Bipartite judiciary agreements were never
