 Another interesting happening which was not planned was the rabbit which MT. Schwartz, the slight of hand entertainer. used in his performance and which he gave to Nina Wilcox after the show Mir Rabbit surely had a wild ride on the bus to his new home in Pomfret.

SUB ROSA
BIZ MIMI.
A Lady on Clutches.

I saw her through an open window,
from the apartment of friend Of mine
across the court. She was at an ironing
board for while and then went about
doing other household things. She was
a woman of about 40, judge. She had
fine, pleasant face and seemed to be
beautifully at peace with the world. APP
parently she does not regard housework
as drudgery, even Though she has been
compelled to walk with clutches ever
since she was a little girl.
1t was lovely day-the kind of day
you might be justified in putting off till
tomorrow what ordinarily should be
donetoday. 1t was the kind of day that
made you long to go into the country.
if only for a short time. The sun was
bright and there was an invigorating
crispness in the air.
The lady across the court went about
on her crutches cheerfully, from IRON
ing board to dust pan. to kitchen. I
some things I should have done that
day. The weather was altogether too
delightful to remain indoors. So went
visiting, and there, across the court, !
saw her.
There were flowers on the window
sill of her apartment, and they bloomed
gayly and happily as though nourished
by the sunshine in her heart. In the
atmosphere in which she lives and
moves / imagine flowers would take a
special delight in looking their best for
her.
How extremely difficult and unpleas-
ant it must be for that lady on crutcheS
to do things some of us ind so irksome
And yet she sang as she hobbled about
and worked. and the gentle refrain of
a little song floated across the courtyard
from her apartment to where I sat and
slipped tea.
1 write this article for the husbands
of women who make chronic complaint
about the drudgery of housework
write it also to make hcusework easier
for those women, through the little pic
ture I draw of the woman across the
court.
The difference between the lady of
whom I write and those who complain
lies in the fact that she has better at
tuned her mind to an understanding
Of real hardship.
After years and years on crutches,
housework cannot possibly be so I'M
pleasant to her. There was something
appealing and beautiful and even in
structive about her, and the next day
what work / had to do was done eagerly
quickly and effectively.
I like to think of the lady on crutches
from whom heard no complaints, but
only the faint refrain of her song as she
hummed continuously-a Song in her
heart, understa nding in her mind and
resignation in her soul.

The Pedicure.

This is what you do once week to
get your feet in good order and to keep
them SO. After the bath or after they
have soaked in very warm and fairly
soapy water for 20 minutes, clean under
each nail carefully and clip all the
nails short and straight across. Inc
big toenail must not only be cut straight
across, but even pointing In q little.
This inpointing V-shape means that
the toenail tends to make itself straight
and in so doing 1t pulls the edges up
out of the flesh, where they often curl
under painfully.
While trimming the nails of one foot
let the other soak again. Take safety
corn knife and cut down any corns or
callouses you may have. Then when
this has been done with each foot run
a nail file around the edges of each
nail, lifting the cuticle as much as pos
sible. With a pair of ordinary mani
cure scissors cut off as much of this
as you can and scrape of as much as
possible.
This, of course, is very like your
manicure treatment. But then your
toenails and your fingernails can be
treated alike. A lot of women this
Summer have been vanishing and very
slightly tinting their toenails because
Iney appear barefoot on lie DedGH
Well, for some years now we are going
to have a fad for bathing shoes that
are only straps, classic-shaped sandals
which show the toes and the shape Of
the foot.
A good thing, for it will encourage
proper care of the feet! If you do this
simple pedicuring once a week, in six
weeks you will not recognize your toe
nails, they will be so much improved
After the trimming, etcetera, rub cold
cream around the nails, or, better yet

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

OF all the questions which come to
us we are puzzled most by those inter-
mittent, heart-breaking appeals from
bereft parents or childless parents who
want to know, How can I adopt a
baby?"
Seemingly, all of these want-to-be
parents have single idea, which Is
to get baby. get him quickly and
bring him up as their own child
On the face Of 1t this is laudable and
desirable, actually 1t Is not There Is
and should be more to adopting a baby
than just selecting any baby available
and making him ones own. For every
child there Is always a future and
always a past, and to secure the first
we must investigate the second
One mother wrote, IT would like
baby 2 days old, so that it would seem
just like. our own baby" But what
can be told about a 2-day-old baby?
At this tender age all babies are very
much alike. Only when age and
growth have brought definite signs Of
mental development do babies begin to
differ and become individuals. A
2-day-old baby might be a hopeless
mental defective and the parent would
not be aware of 1t. It would hardly
be sensible to take to ones heart and
home a baby who could never appre-
ciate us or whom we could never ap-
preciate because he was a mental de-
fective
Likewise one must have the protec-
ton offered by reliable placing agen-
c!es to insure that both Of the baby's
parents willingly relinquish him. Other
wise an adoption Is not legal, and some
day the real parent may turn up and
demand his baby. The law stands by
the real, not the adoptive. parent, for
this Is a matter about which even SEN
timent has no weight.
Heredity plays role in develop
ment. 50 1t is wise for the adaptive
parents to make certain that the child
comes from parents OF normal intelll-
gence. What these parents may have
become with regard to their moral or
ethical standards is of small conse-
quence, but their mental inheritance
| they bequeath to their baby as GER
| tainly as they donate their physical
| characteristics. One must be certain
| that neither parent Is a mental defec-
tive, thus making education Of their
offspring difficult and sometimes i'm
| possible.
All of these warnings sound hard
hearted. In truth they are not. A
baby whom parents want to make their
: own and to receive their love must be
| educable A baby should be desired
| by both the adaptive parents. for the
father plays as big a part in the life Of
the child as the mother. An adoption
merely to please the mother will de-
prive the child Of that sympathy and
companionship and interest which he

Mother Brown stood in the kitchen
doorway The light streamed through
into the shed full upon a scene that
Mother Brown never had expected to
see. On one side of dish of food
stood a big and very angry looking
raccoon It was Bobby Coon. On the
other side, looking equally angry and
with a great tall spread over him, was
big skunk 1t was Jimmy Skunk.
Mother, Brown gave little gasp and
then she held her breath. Yes, sir,
she held her breath. She didn't move.
It looked to Mother Brown as if some
thing serious was about to happen.
Jimmy Skunk was stamping his feet
and growing. Bobby Coon didn't
stamp his feet, but he growled and his
growl had a very ugly sound. Mother
Brown wanted to run and she wanted
to see what was going to happen. She
knew that if Jimmy Skunk should use
that scent gun of his there was going
to be a terrible odor in that back
shed for a long time. She wanted to
chase him right outdoors before he had
a chance to use it. OF course. she
couldn't do this. She didn't dare do
it. AS a matter of fact, she didn't
dare move She feared that Jimmy
Skunk might be so excited that any
movement on her part might alarm
him and so lead him to use that little
scent gun of his. The wisest plan
seemed to be to do nothing at all,
but hold her breath; which is just
what she did.
Jimmy Skunk took a step forward
and Bobby Coon growled little deeper
and a little uglier sounding growl than
the others had been. Jimmy reached
out and very slowly he brought his
nose so that it touched the nose of
Bobby Coon. If Mother Brown had
not already been holding her BREATH
she certainly would have held it then.
Bobby Coon was showing his teeth. It
certainly looked as if there were going
to be a dreadful fight in just about
one minute. You see, Bobby Coon
hadn't backed up one step. 1t was
clear, perfectly clear, that he didn't
intend to back up one step. There
was a look of something like surprise
on Jimmy Skunk's face. He wasn't
accustomed to having people refuse to
back up when he told them to. The
