her brother had fallen through the
ice and was rescued. How her
mother was just the same. Every
one loves her." wrote Jules.
Then one day Marie happened to
meet an artist named Tom Santos.
"You are so very beautiful, / must
paint you at snce," declared this
impulsive young man.
Marie laughed at him, but 1t
soon happened that she posed regu-
larly for this brilliant painter. She
liked his queer, jerky way OF talk
ing while he worked. She felt that
she was lucky to be admired by
him. One day in the studio he
asked about her home. Marie told
him a little, rather grudgingly.
"You say you were born in Beau
laire?" cried the man. How

He laid down his brushes and
went to a shelf. lone of the finest

He picked up small figurine and
held it in his hands.
Marie felt a quick trembling run
all over her. oh she breathed.

up his fathers work."
"You know him then this
artist Jules?'
YES" she answered stepping
down from the dias where she
posed. LET me see, please. =

Marie laughed goodnaturedly.
"You handsome stupid ;. l

towards her own house where her
mother stood in the door, calling
to one of the children. "You see?"
said Marie, she's worn out with

She wears old clothes and thinks

sternly, "has the most truly beauti-

IA r ARIE LA FARCE was the
Il\H prettiest girl in Beaulaire.
' 1 Her dark eyes sparkled;
her black hair framed a lovely, WV
id face. It was inevitable that
many young men should fall IN
love with her. Which they did.
But chief among them was tall
handsome Jules Gareau, the son
of vood-carver.
Marie's mother was small
hard working woman whose beauty
differed from the girls. Strong
lines were craven on her face; and
in her eyes shone clear fortitude.
Madame La Farge's eyes looked
steadily at everything, whether 1t
was the snow which lay SO many
months about the small tight cabin,
or at one Of her children who had,
perhaps been angry or selfish. 30.
while Marie's face was sweet and
winning, her mothers expression
was full of character.
1t could hardly fail that Marie
should grow little arrogant I'M

was dressed in bright jacket, full
wooden skirt and high, laced boots.
A red knitted cap was pulled
jauntily over her curls.
How can you ask such a cues

"A girl cannot stay in this SIM
pie village forever!'
"But Marie" He reached for her
mittened hand. His eyes, looking
down at her, were filled with be-
seeching love. 1--WE had plans to-

Look at the pose" he said, "Look
at the old Woman's face. Isn't
she wonderful -. and beautiful
in character? I'd like to meet her ;"
"You SHALL" murmured Marie in
a low voice, and added, Il must
stay away from home for years,
before / discover from stranger
how fine my mother is. Come
we can catch the evening train"
Snow lay thick on Beaulaire that
Christmas eve. Bright lights shone
from the houses. The mountains
were dark with purple shadows.
Two figures walked along the
squeaking snow. How could you
have left all this for an ugly city,
Marie?"
The girl answered nothing. She
hurried faster and her heart beat
furiously. Il cannot wait to get
there she thought.
"Over there" she said aloud,
sis the Gareau home, and now,
here we come TO our house. Hurry,
hurry!s
They pushed through the gate;
they entered the house without
knocking A huge fire blazed on
the hearth. Singing and dancing
filled the low-ceilinged room. Marie
pulled her friend towards a slight
figure sitting in a chair. This is
my mother" she said.
At once the room was in an up
roar. People focked about the new
guests, all talking together, kissing
Marie, laughing and shouting.

Madame La Farge's hand. I'm
proud and happy to know you.

fire. And this is Jules" she ex-

The room fell into silence.

Evening star., 1936-02-12
BY MARGARET WARNER,

N VOW is the time for that large
group of women who love to
VI sew to be planning their
Spring dressmaking, and for
these persons the shops have certainly
set up the most fascinating displays of
new materials to meet every demand,
from the smartest woolen coat fabrics
to the most inexpensive cottons. Just
to walk through these departments
arouses an intense desire to start right
to work on at least one' of the de-
lightful materials, and the temptation
to ask for large supply of samples
is spontaneous.
1t is well to keep in mind that when
the new materials are first shown you
always find the choicest designs,
which later on are sold out and often
never reordered because of that cur
rent tendency to change everything so
quickly. So we advise early selections.
For the tailored clothes, that will be
so important in all Spring collections,
smooth fabrics will be first choice.
Hard-finished worsteds abound in the
neutral tones of tan, gray and blue.
In tweeds, distinct checks and line
plaids are good for sports coats and
suits.
We found wonderful group OF
woolen materials in one shop suitable
for separate casual coats and two
piece suits. Yards and yards of ma
terial were draped conspicuously about
and eager shoppers were happy to
find such splendid assortment. One
table contained limited yardage of
extra fine quality woolens wonderful
for separate coats or extra skirts. In
the regular stock are striking tweeds
at $3.50 a yard and excellent mannish
suitings in grays and tans at S1.59.
Bold plaids for sport wear are shown
at $12s per yard.
OF ALL Spring materials the
printed crepes take the center of
the stage with their endless variations
Of color and countless figure themes.
We found these departments looking
like kaleidoscopes. and the greatest
difficulty would be to choose one from
so many possibilities. OF course, price
does enter into the matter of making
your choice, but even in the lower
price ranges you will find printed
rayons at SO cents that are pleasing
as to color and pattern and further
more have been tested for instability.

the saleswomen had herself washed

Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. SPROWLS.

IF MODERN psychology has approx
l. mately reached the foundation stones
of the house of mind, ethics as an
ideal picture of human destiny is
not the first practical step. Modern
psychology says that the essence OF
mental life is conflict. Some go SO far
as to assert that we could not be
conscious of anything unless we were
able to recognize collisions of some
sort in this world of actual men and
affairs. We would know nothing, and
that, of course, would mean the eX-
termination of life.
So what is called the new pSy-
chology' undertakes to sketch the
meaning of new ethics" The out
line for new ethics Is somewhat as
follows: Find some way for reducing
the collisions among your own ideas.
Once you discover that the majority
of your conflicts originate in your
own mind, you will break the habit
of projecting them on your neigh
bors. And so it is assumed that the
new ethics is the first step toward the
realization of the old ethics.
