Hello" he said, and held

Hello, yourself" Mary Faith
never knew how she managed
to say those two words in that
cheerful, off-hand way. She
did not touch his hand.
How are you these days,
Mary Faith?"
"Oh, I'm all right; I jog
along" she answered. With an
effort she turned her head
away from him, then turned
her whole body away.
Don't you think an aqua
marine would be just the
thing?" she asked Mark Nesbit
again, without clearly knowing
what she said.
They finally decided on one.

corner of her desk.
Mary Faith, do you know
what a dinner ring is?" he
asked, lighting a cigarette.
q Special Ring
She said that she did. "It'S
o large ring that women wear
on their little finger. It's
usually made of platinum or
white gold and is set with
diamonds, I believe. It's a
very special kind of ring"

them. But, gosh, wouldn't it
be too elaborate for her?"
She's only fifteen, isn't

was the baby of the family,

A salesman in a frock coat

led them halfway down the

full of glittering rings on the
showcase in front of them.

Who as
Who?
MOTHER MACHREE
BY Louise NJ. Conlstock

"CP1KE" he called her when they
" were alone together. But to
the world Ernest Ball, famous ballad
writer, introduced his mother as
"Mother Machree," in song whose
sentimental sincerity won him his
first real success.
She was Mrs. Mamie Bell, small,
white-haired old lady dressed in black,
who liked to talk about her Ernie and
the old days in New York, when
Ernie's songs had not yet found ia
vor with the publishers, when he used
to give his car fare to some ragged
tramp and walk home himself. when
Jimmy Walker, now mayor, used to
drop in of an evening, rather thread
bare about the collar and shiny at the
seams, to sit dreaming while Ernie
strummed the piano. Once when
Ernie had happened on strain a lit
tie more rhythmic and sad even than
usual. Jimmy had grabbed pencil
and written some equally rhymtmc
and sad doggeral which the whole
country was soon to sing as Twill You
Love Me in December as You Do in
May?"
Then came "Mother Machree." On
New Years eve, 1926, its author stood
on the stage of New York theater,
waited for the applause to die down,
and said, Ladies and gentlemen,
somewhere out in this audience is my
mother, my own Mother Machree.
Won't you stand up, Mother Machree"
Mrs. Ball only sat very still, her I'm
gers, $50 toilworn" for him, tightly
clasped She could not rise!

THE BABES IN THE WOODS

COR some centuries now Robin Red
I breast, with leaves and flowers,
has covered up for childish listeners
the miserable end of the "Babes in the
Wood" and time has softened the
cruel story into nursery favorite.
Nevertheless, there exists in England
today the very forest in which the
tragedy occurred, Wayland wood,
near Thetford, and nearby it, Griston
hall. reputedly the house of the wick
ed uncle, all part of the estate of
the present Lord Walsingham; and
certain ancient documents reveal the
story as one of stark reality.
Griston hall has been the property
of the De Gray family since the Six
teenth century, In 1862 it passed in
to the possession of little Thomas de
Grey, then, say the earliest ballads,
three years old. His uncle, Robert de
Grey, was left considerable legacy
and custody Of the infant heir A
document of the period relates that
the boy was unaccountably lost dur
ing a visit to a relative. Other le-
gal papers show that the uncle sub
sequently took over Griston hall, was
held in suspicion by the neighbors,
was twice imprisoned and eventually
died bankrupt.
BY adding to these facts the little
sister who shared the gruesome fate,
and the hired murderers who quar-
relied over their task, early ballad
makers and story tells wove the IN
happy tale we know today.

MARY AND HER LAMB

MIHEN the same little red school
Wv house to which Mary's little
lamb followed her one day" was re-
stored and opened for modern schol-
ars by Henry Ford, the question of
who was the real Mary opened anew.
One claimant would give the story
an English setting; Francstown, N.
H., claims a similar honor and has
erected memorial to the "original
Mary" Mary Willard. Investigations
made by Mr. Ford, however, seem to
establish the rights Of one Mary Eliz
abeth Sawyer, born in Charleston.
Mass, in 1906.
The lamb was weakling whom
Mary had adopted and nursed to
health. According to Mary's own
story, the lambs fateful visit to
school might have passed unnoticed
had he remained hidden under her
seat and not followed her to the
front Of the room when she went up
to recite!
Visiting school that day was John
houiStoLe, WHO was otuuyiiS w eil'oi
Harvard with local pastor. John
was only twelve at the time, but
Mary's predicament led him to write
the famous first twelve lines Of the
poem. The rest of it, containing a
moral which may not fit in with them,
were added later by Sara Josepha
Hale, in whose collection. Poems for
Children" it was first published In
1880.

Japanese forces at Chinchow to
his general headquarters to make
his speech.
