Again Reddy tried to hide his disap-
pointment with grin, but 1t was hard
work. That's all right" said he.
But am not going to tell you where
that clover is. You see, am selfish
enough to want the pleasure Of seeing
you enjoy it. I'll drop around tomor-
row evening and well 60 then. Be
sure to have your appetite with you"
With this Reddy trotted of to hunt
elsewhere, for he was hungry and 1t
was clear that there was no chance to
get Wigglenose out Of that bramble-
tangle. Wigglenose watched him out
of sight. No sooner had he disap-
peared than, strange to say, that lost

for some time, then stole out of his
bramble- e-tangle. He had noticed the
direction from which Reddy had come.
If it was true that he had found a
patch Of clover on his way there 1t
must be in that direction.
Nervously, stopping every few hops
to sit up to look, listen and test the
air with his wabbly little nose, Wiggle-
nose slowly moved along. He was soon
where things were unfamiliar, for it
happened that he had not explored
much in this direction. The farther
he went the more uneasy and fearful
he became, which was natural because
he was in strange surroundings. And
then, just as he was about to give up
and turn back, he found q splendid
big patch Of sweet clover.
This must be the clover Reddy Fox
told me about. My, but I'm lucky to
have found It'll" thought Wigglenose,
and straightway began greedily to stuff

matter OF speculation, however, iust
how they received the name as q sur
name. The word "witeacre" desig-
mated the north part Of q burying
ground, usually allotted to the poor.
It is thought that the Whitaker fam
ily derived their name from one Of
number Of parishes so called In
Warwickshire and other localities.
Another authority considers the name
to be the same as Whitgar, which
was borne by nephew Of Cerdic,
King Of the West Saxons.
The name of Whitaker in America
was early associated with the James
town Colony. in Virginia. This family
was descended from Rev. William
Whitaker. master of st. Johns Col
lege, Cambridge, in England. He was
a noted puritan divine of the Church
of England, distinguished both as
scholar and as preacher. His library
was so famous that Queen Elizabeth
purchased 1t at his death. He was
descended from the family Of Whita-
ker in Lancashire.
OF Jabez Whitaker, the American
| immigrant, we find many references
In records of the Virginia Company
in 1920 and 1921. He was q member
Of the House Of BurgeSseS in 1923
and 1924.

the firemen set up long ladder which

seventh story and, with great danger
to himself, carried the woman down

the lower part Of one of the scaling
ladders broke off and if the fire chief
had not been there to steady them
they would almost surely have fallen

AS it was, they came safely to the

Faded Gift
BY ANGELO PATRI.

IND you ever hear of child who
started out with great promise
and then begged down hopelessly in
the upper grades of the school? There
are many such. If one happens to be
in your family, don't feel too badly
about it, but think it over and make
a new start.
Children's growth is complicated
and much of it must remain a mys-
terry, even to the most experienced OF
teachers and parents. AS the child
grows, he displays interests, talents
perhaps gifts, that help us to educate
him and so permit his powers to de-
velop. But some of these talents and
interests are of short duration. They
show above the surface, thrive for a
time, and then vanish, much to the
dismay of parents and teachers. In
stead of feeling dismayed, we should
have been ready for the change, and
on hand to direct the next indication
of new growth.
These phases that come and go are
valuable. We cultivate each so that
In the long run some one line of
power or, it may be, the quality OF
power is developed in the child. We
cannot be sure that any of these
phases, or indications, are to be per-
manent. 1t is a mistake to fasten
upon any one of them and pin a
child's life on it. We must work with
open hands, as ready to let go as to
hold on when the time comes.
Julia began writing little stories
and rhymes when she was 8 years
old. Her vocabulary was remarkable
for so young a child. The teachers
encouraged her and her mother
praised and pushed her on to higher
and higher achievement. Julia took
prizes in contests, had a story ac-
cepted by one of the children's maga-
zines. Her mother was convinced
that Julia was a writer, talented il
not genius.
BY and by Julia reached high
school. She began to lose interest
in writing stories. She detested the
English and had difficulty with alge-
bra and foreign languages. To her
mothers horror, Julia was failing in
high school. Julia, who was a genius
Something must be done. The child
must work. She had succeeded be-
fore, she must again. The teachers
must do something. They had a tai
ented child in their hands, and If
they did their part, that child must
succeed.
This will not do. 1t disregards the
most important factor in the situa-
ton, the child's peculiar growth. Just
why Julia could write we'll when she
was in elementary school and could
not write at all in high school, Just
why she should fall off in all her
studies, is a mystery buried in the
scheme of her growth. Pushing and
driving and scolding will only do
harm. There is nothing that one can
do until one studies the child and
finds the cause. or perhaps the remedy
without ever knowing the cause.
Give such child rest. Allow her
mind to lie fallow for term. Watch
and wait and keep your hands off
until you see real light ahead. See
the family physician, see the teachers
and listen to what they say instead
of refusing to hear it.

An Early Autumn Model for Street WEAR
Shows That New Season Opens
With Straight-Line Simplicity
AS Main Theme.
BY BARBARA BELL.

THE most important early Fall
luncheon date will require
nothing more elaborate in
style than the frock OF dull
silk, woven with an effective
stripe, which is pictured in the illus
tration today.
The new season is starting off with
straight-line simplicity as the main
theme, and fanciful minor digressions
near the neck, in the sleeves and at
the hem. This froCk is an excellent
example Of what the best houses are
showing for the first dress OF Fall
the one we will wear after Labor day,
when it is still too warm for coat
and we feel out of place in our Sum-
mer leftovers.
This is a delightful frock. It is
made with the new high neck, the
panel front and the three-quarter
melon sleeve, this particular variation
of which is found popular because it
is comfortable to wear during the
transition season when covered wrists
1rritate one.
The designers are paying lot OF
attention to belts and fastenings this
season. Here we see one of the new
narrow ones of good leather showing
q fine metal buckle. 1t is but one out
of many belts that can be worn ef-
fectively with this dress. Among the
Fall accessories we notice the impor-
tance of the belt; many stunning sets
are assembled to match it-gloves,
hats and bags, if not actually made
from the same material are perfectly
matched in color and touched off with
an interesting metallic decoration
gold more often than any other.
Barbara Bell pattern No. 1414-B is
designed in sizes IL to 20. Size 16
(34) requires 334 yards of 39-inch
material (no contrast).
Every Barbara Bell pattern has an

troll of the hand, but the responder in

out. Therefore, he bid six diamonds.
Six diamonds can be made on the
hand, but Mr.. D. r. fooliShly went to
seven diamonds and lost a trick to
the queen of diamonds.
Due to the fact that one of the
opponents holds the queen of clubs
three times, seven spades can be made
on the hand. The bid is somewhat of
gamble, but it might be reached this
way:

The Old Gardener Says:

A very striking perennial, which
may be moved to advantage or set
out in August, is the eremurus, a
stately plant seldom seen in gar
dens, partly because it is often
Winter killed and partly because
only a few nurserymen have listed
it in recent years. The eremurus
is sometimes called the foxtail
lily, although it is not really like
a lily. 1t blooms very early and
the spikes are likely to be nipped
by late frosts. Practical garden
makers forestall such injury by
protecting the spikes with loose
paper bags and in Winter cover
the crowns with peat moss or
leaves.

 Tn 1888, the consumption oi zinc ingotH was 24,66b tons, and of this total 23,252 tons were produced from the Pertusola and Montecatini mines with Q small contribution from Cardinia.
 The zinc consumption of 1888 does not reach tho top figure of the boom year 1929 whom earyl 30,- 900 tons of zinc were used in Italy At that time, though, a good deal moro than half of this amount had to Do imported.
 owing to the poor quality of somo of the blend taken from the Calabrian mines, richer imported blends have to be used to some ex- tent 20 that until the system of working the ore is changed, Italy will always have to pay tribute abroad for small proportion 0i imported zinc blends.
