 "Some grass seeds. but mostly weed seeds" replied Nimbleheels Wont you have couple"
 Peter turned his head to hide a smile. No, thank you," he re piled politely. "l am not very fond of seeds.

Besides. the kind of food you eat couldn't be put in a pocket very well. rather think you'll find, if you think 1t over, that Old Mother Nature knows best"
 Peter pulled his whiskers thought fully. He remembered what a lot of sweet clover he could eat at one meal, and then tried to imagine crowding it into a couple of pockets in his cheeks. The idea made him laugh right out.

 The political convictions for which she was deported, she claims, have not changed. However, the impress sion of one who interviewed and ob, served her is that "at sixty-four her hatred of capitalism is less intense than in her youth" when she made the world aware of it.
 We need know little about this particular woman to believe that.
 For at sixty-four any hatred Is less intense; frequently it has complete ly burned itself out And in its place Is understanding.
 At sixty-four another thing Is like. ly to waver: that Is self assurance. It Is much easier for the very young to be sure that they are right.

BLIND DATES

HEAR Mrs. Post: Will you tell
 D me whether was prudish in my point of view and whether you think am just missing a lot of good times, which could otherwise be mine. This is what happened: A short while ago. before college re- opened. my college roommate was going out with her boy friend to an evening cabaret. We both live in Chicago. Her mother did not want her to go to a late dance with the boy alone. So she asked me to go with them and they had a blind date for me. with a friend of his He was not especially interesting and only a fair dancer but we had pleasant evening. I wouldn't care If l never saw him again-but then. too. l would just as soon go out with him again if there was no one else who offered. A few evenings ago the boy called up and said he had friend from St. Paul, a young business man who was the finest kind of man and coming to Chi cago for two days, and that he had made a blind" date for me with the St. Paul man to take me out for dinner and go to dance afterwards. He himself couldn't go out with us because he Is on the football squad. He said the St. Paul man would call for me at seven o'clock, and that would have a wonderful time.
 l don't know why I behaved as I did. l could not help 1t. I told him that having my time engaged for me to go out with a total stranger was not my idea of a won- derful time. and that nothing would induce me to make that kind of a blind date. and that I was not a taxi dancer, and then I hung up.
 Now, of course. everything Is all wrong. We are back in college, my roommate will hardly speak to me because her boy friend is angry be- cause was rude to his friend. Finally, my roommate said she would leave 1t to you to decide who was wrong.
 Answer: It seems to me that you were right. It was entirely proper to go out with your roommate and her friend and whoever they might have invited to make a fourth. But to have gone out with the St. Paul man, as coolly arranged for you by a practical stranger. or in fact to go out alone with any man you did not know - unless under very extenuatlng circumstances would have been extremely cheap. At the same time you may have been rude in the way you refused to be taxi dancer. This depends on whether your voice was amiably casual or angry. So you see?

knew"-that what seems to us so burningly right, is from another viewpoint, no less burningly wrong. If youth but knew"-that the world is not divided into the good and the bad, the right and the wrong. the sincere and the self-seeking, the hon. est and the corrupt-but instead that it is composed of many differ ent-seeming humans who at heart are experiencing very similar hopes and fears and dreams, whose mo- tives are more likely to be honest than otherwise, whose greatest crime may be making mistake! How much energy that is wasted In con. hict might be saved for construc. tive effort, how much struggle and heartache the human race might be saved. Boiled down, it might almost be possible for all of us to work to- gether for common good.

NAMES

HEAR Mrs. Post: I was named D for my father, who died when I was very young. For more than twenty-five years I have continued to use John Smith, Jr., as my name. l know that am John Smith and should write my name without junior suffixed to 1t. But my father achieved some prom thence and I hesitate to take his name even now. Please write your opinion of my case.
 Answer: I think you yourself have given the only opinion there is to give. Actually you are now John Smith, but I have no idea whether the laws of your own state would compel you to sign your name or engrave your visiting cards or even to change your bank signature. do happen to know of a number of men who for one reason or an- other continued to call themselves junior long after the death of their fathers. also know of others, who, during their fathers lives. have taken off the name junior by adding middle names. Apparently man considers his name his own to do with as he likes. But whether he has the legal right to make these changes, I don't know.
 Dear Mrs. Post: Should an un- married woman register in a hotel as Carol Jones or Miss Carol Jones7 If miss is included, is 1t written as an undivided part of her name?
 Answer: She writes Miss Carol Jones exactly as in addressing an envelope. She puts miss in paren- thesis In front of her signature at the end of letter to stranger who does not know whether she Is Miss or Mrs, or in your particular case, Mir.

 Answer: think 1t depends upon what you call him. If he is Silas to you, the chances are the children will call him Silas, too. You can, of course, make point of 1t and tell them that it is polite to call him Mir. because of his age.
