Bedtime Stories
The Foolish Mouse.

up in his comfortable nest, which was
in a hollow in a tree, hollow cut out
by Drummer the Woodpecker and
long ago given up by him. The young
Mouse watched Whitefoot depart, and
there was something Of scorn in his
small eyes. The idea" said he to
himself "of hiding when Hooty Is so
far away. would hide quickly enough
if Hooty were near. but he isn't. ANY,
way, he couldn't catch me If he tried"
So the foolish young Mouse boldly
ran this way and that. and quite for
got all about Hooty. Suddenly that
terrible hunting call rang out from
a tree almost over that foolish young
Mouse. Hooty had arrived on silent
wings. Now, in spite Of all he could
do, that foolish young Mouse jumped,
he was so startled. 1t was only very
little jump. a very little jump indeed.
Most people would have jumped from
such a fright. But, little as that
Jump was, it caused a couple Of dead
leaves that were brown and dry to
rustic. A moment later that foolish
young Mouse was clutched in Hooty's
great curved claws. Those wonderful
ears of Hooty's had heard that faint
rustic and guided him to where his
night-seeing eyes had discovered the
young Mouse. Meanwhile, Whitefoot
was safe at home.

Psychology

Unconscious Observation.
WE NOTICE thousands Of things
w unconsciously every day. We
notice far more things unconsciously
than consciously. This is one Of the
strangest of all the known facts about
mental processes.
This all comes about because it is
impossible to attend to more than a
few things at one moment. Probably
not more than half dozen under the
very best of observational conditions.
In other words, we do more attending
from our world Of events than attend
ing to them. Or to put it still an
other way, attention is limited while
inattention seems to be unlimited.
In everyday life, we attend only to
those aspects of experience which be-
long to the days work But when
night comes on and We pay attention
to nothing in particular, the uncon-
sciously observed happenings OF the
day come trooping into consciousness
for recognition. That's where we get
our dream stuff. That's also Wnere
we get our lunches.
Some persons, living largely in the
dream-world even while they are
awake, translate their lunches into
visions which they take to be some
thing more real than dreams. 1t ap-
pears that one must be slightly alb
normal to do this. That's the way
prophets are made. Perhaps those
geniuses going under the name Of
inventors get a lot of their ideas in
the same way. Poets, too, have now
and then admitted this ability to
manufacture verse out of the un-
conscious. As one said, II sang In
numbers, for the numbers came"

FriendlineSS
Versus Rigid
Conventions
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: A friend moved
to this town about six months
ago and Immediately gave a party
to have my friends meet her. Every
one has been very kind to her,
although every one Is very casual
about paying visits. Most of these
ladies have invited her to parties and
the newcomer is turning every one
down because, as she explained to me,
no one has called. I am sure that
she will be very miserable in the new
year If she insists upon following
the conventional precepts of etiquette
as rigidly as this. What would you
say was best for her to do?
Answer-While 1t Is true that strict
formality does exact that a hostess
leave her card with a first invitation
to stranger, there are so few people
in this present day who follow formal
card-leaving exactions that it is
doubtful If the youngest hosteSses even
stop to realize its existence. In any
case, your friend Is In the wrong,
since she should have been aware OF
the hospitality that prompted her
neighbors' invitations, and she should
have accepted them in the same spirit
don't know what she can do now
except send friendly notes of invita-
ton to a party of her own, which
you can perhaps persuade her neigh
bors to accept by explaining her ap-
parent lack of appreciation for what
ever reason you can give that is most
plausible.

Dear Mrs. Post: What am I sup
posed to say to a debutante at her
coming out party? I have known the
family for years.
Answer-People usually tell the
debutante that they hope she will
have very happy Winter. Personal
friends also tell her how lovely she
looks, and only If there Is no queue
waiting do they stop to say very much
else. What this is would be difficult
to outline, since such conversations
are the result Of impulse and not
preparation.

MOOSE,
escape after another. Yes, sir, that
is the way it seemed.
Now, recently there had come to
live in Whitefoot's neighborhood a
distant relative, a fourth or fifth or
sixth cousin, he didn't know which.
This Wood Mouse was much younger
that whitefoot. In fact, he was quite
young and, like so many young peo-
pie, he was inclined to think he knew
1t all He was inclined to look down
on those older than himself and to
think of them somewhat scornfully
as timid and somewhat behind the
time.
Now, when this young Wood Mouse
had moved into the neighborhood,
Whitefoot had tried to be friendly.
He had offered to advise his young
neighbor whenever the latter might
be in need of advice. The young
Wood Mouse had turned his head
aside to hide a grin, when Whitefoot
made this offer.
The ideal" said he to his mate
who was of his own age. THE very
idea of that old fogey thinking he can
advise me. 1t is wonder to me that
he has lived as long as he has. Why,
even while we were talking together,
he ducked out of sight just because
he heard leaf rustic. He didn't stop
to see what made the leaf rustic.
It was a Merry Little. Breeze, one of
Old Mother Westwind's children, and
80, of course. perfectly harmless. I
didn't run. I waited to find out If
there was any need Of running"
One evening Whitefoot met this
smart young Wood Mouse and, as
usual, they stopped for few minutes
of chat. While they were talking they
heard the fierce hunting call of Hooty
the Great Horned Owl. 1t came from
far away in the Green Forest. White
foot looked anxious. ''Hooty has be-
gun hunting early tonight" said he.
at hope he won't come this way. Any
way, I'm going home and stay inside
until am certain that he isn't about
In this neighborhood."
He isn't here now. as you can tell
by the sound of his voice, so why
worry" replied the young Mouse.
I'm not worrying" replied White
foot, "and I don't intend to worry.
There I won't have cause to worry, no
matter how near he comes"
So Whitefoot went home and curled

(15 We do not even criticize Vests
double. He had a number Of sound
reasons. The bidding did not indicate
that either North or South would be
able to redouble, and he wished to
misplace the strength-to make North
afraid of any heart illnesses. More
over. he had hunch that South held
the king of diamonds, so there were
two birds in the hand. And North
went down one trick. What better
Justification could West have?
The opening lead was the king Of
clubs. North took with the ace and
trumped q club on the board. He led
the ace of spades and small spade,
rufing in his own hand. He then
trumped his third and last club with
the king Of diamonds. Up to this
point the play was like the rattle OF
machine gun bullets. We like to see
players slap down cards rapidly. If they
don't inadvertently ruin themselves.
The king Of spades was played and
heart discarded. The ace Of hearts
was led and another heart. At this
point West made what might be con-
sidered a strange play. He trumped
with the queen of diamonds. North
was bafiied for a second. but he under
trumped and bravely went up with the
Jack Of diamonds when West returned
O spade.
We charitably assume that North
thought about his next play: that he
realized the only way he could make
his contract was to flnd East with
either the blank ace or the blank nine
of diamonds; and that despite Vests
play of the queen Of diamonds and his
double, Easts holding was probably
the former-for he led q small dia-
naond instead of the ten spot.
If West does not trump with the
queen of diamonds, and dangle the
bait under the declarer's nose, North
will ruff the heart low and play the
jack of diamonds, dropping East's nine.
After that, East and West can give up.
