Joseph, arguing with Millie. Or were
they quarreling? 1t was too bad that
their smoldering animosity should
have chosen this moment to explode
in anger. She glanced quickly at Jim.
He heard, too. and said. Better see

grimly. Il told her, sure I'd take her.

Harriet beat futilely at his huge
shoulders with her fists. Joseph. no!
You mustn't. You think you're doing
it for me, because you love me. and
love Jim! But Jim loves Millie. and
that's all there is to it. She'll be happy
here after the storm is over. They'll
both be happy. and then perhaps you

A look of incredulous joy passed
over Joseph's rugged face. Then he
shook his head. You don't know

vegetables. eggs and cooked or raw
meat.
There wasn't anything on the list
that mentioned desserts. That looked
very sad from Jimmy's standpoint.
To his amazement he discovered that
the puppy needed a bit of cod liver
oil now and then. He offered to give
the puppy his share, but Mother
didn't agree with that arrangement.
Besides. the pup only needed a drop
now and then. Too much would up
set his stomach.
At first Jimmy couldn't tell just
when the puppy had eaten enough.
Mother knew by experience that young
growing things are gluttons, so she
kept a weather eye on the pup at
feeding time. When his little sides
were pleasantly rounded, she removed
his feast. The baby dog should be
able to navigate without fear of BURST
ing.
Another point that the board of di-
rectors agreed upon was that the
puppy should be handled very little.
Jimmy appointed himself commit
tee of one to see to 1t that the latest
addition to the family moved under
his own steam the majority of the
time. It also stood to reason that
since babies can't be lifted up by their
arms, puppies shouldn't be either.
When any one. including dad. lifted
Jimmy's pup he put his hand under

We'll, she can't. I want her to

"You can make kid do as she is

I'm tired Of making her practice.
What's the good of it? She has to

What does Miss Dore say about it?
Can't she make her learn? Isn't she
being paid for it?"
She does the best she can. She
can't help it if Mary doesn't want to
learn. She can't make her"
Il want her to learn. Ask the head
what about it. See if he has some
remedy for this kid who can and won't.
She can play She's intelligent. Just
see that somebody gets busy and
makes her"
The head listened to the sad story
Mary wouldn't learn her music lesson
and said she didn't want to practice.
She liked music; 20, yes, but not
practice"
Anybody in the house play?" asked
the head.
No. We like music. but we don't
play"
HIM. Could you play? You see,
Mary doesn't get any fun out of her
lessons. Nobody plays with her. or
listens to her, or helps her to get an
audience for her work. You can't
expect child to get fun out of playing
to herself. Get up a music club, form
an orchestra, get leader, and Mary
will go along with you. That's what
she needs. Somebody to go along
That seemed out of the question
until mother talked it over with the
teacher. Why not? We can easily
get a group together and make ar

And 1t was.
The instruments were as varied as
the people. Some were very unusual
Sandpaper blocks. bells. a triangle
harmonica, horn, violin, piano
a banjo, drum, cymbals, whistles
a cello. Out of the noise and laughter
music came, and an abiding interes,
in music. Mary wanted to lead on
the piano, and practice became some
thing that must be done for the Joy
Of doing 1t.
Children need to have the lift ol
companionship in music. They need
to have an audience. A group play
ing together helps each member tc
play better and enjoy 1t more. Fam
lily orchestras are delightful and dc

astounding quantities of food and
drink, and as the healths of various
members of the family must be cere-
moniously drunk in each house, one
can picture the ultimate condition OF
the popular young man about town!
Nowhere are the results of such an
extravagant custom depicted as clearly
as they are in Louisa M. Alcott's be-
loved Rose in Bloom" What reader
can ever forget the tragic picture OF
Bonnie Prince Charlie coming home o
his adored Rose at the close of such
q pilgrimage? Roses grief and disil-
Iusionment is one of the most mem-
orable points in the entire book. and
must have done much in its day to
discourage the round of New Year
calls among the younger people of
New England and New York.
IN THE height of this paying of re-
spects" era, the procedure rapidly
became mad, undignified race
against time 1t developed into mat
ter Of honor between young men to see
which could pay the most calls before
time rang the bell. One account says
that:
Evening star., 1937-01-02

"A procession each of whose COM
ponent parts was made up of two or
three young men in an open barouche,
with a pair of steaming horses and q
hilarious driver, would rattle from
house to house as fast as the horses
would trot. The coachman would
pun up the horses before each door
with a jerk that practically set them
back on their launches. the young
men would shoot out of the vehicle
at top speed. dash into the house, greet
the family hurriedly, gulp toast to
each member, and dash out again,
tumbling into the carriage, and shout
ing to the driver to make all speed to
the next mansion" Pretty picture,
must say, and one which, very happily,
has slid into the limbo of forgotten
things.
NOWADAYS things are much SIM
pier, and far pleasanter. Host
esses invite certain guests to come in
the afternoon for tea or .egg-nog, and
usually limit the list to number
that will be conducive to quiet con-
and real getting together"
of old friends. There is nothing nicer
than to greet ones near and dear in
such manner on the first of the new
year-and a far cry it is from the
burlesque calling of the old days.
1t seems a pity that exaggeration
should spoil what might have been a
pretty and sentimental custom. The
original idea. of course, was friendly
and wholly charming expression of
affection or respect. The stampeding
young men of the nineteenth century
New Year calls made a horror Of hos
pitality and mock of politeness.
Thank goodness the pendulum has
swung the other way, and that we
seem to be returning to the more dig
nified and conservative ways of cele-
brating our high days and holidays
Or maybe I only think SO because
I am geeting old and stuffy?

Wax Floors
Successfully
Also Helpful Hints
on Placing
Lamps.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: We are laying
new floors of white oak in our
old house and would like you to tell
us how they should be finished.
Answer-Usually the wood is acid
stained-unless you want to keep it
light. In any case. it is then filed
either with a filler in the color of the
stain or a filler the color of the nat
ural wood, and the surface is waxed.
A less expensive method. with a
quicker result, is to varnish-and per-
haps finish with wax, and perhaps
not. The most beautiful finish pos
sible is obtained by using nothing but
wax-and elbow grease. The perfect
floor-of any woods waxed and pol
ished, and waxed and polished, for
days, weeks, months and years until
at the end of lifetime or two, the
surface that we call patina Is
achieved! This is really more for
furniture than for floors, which look
very beautiful when filled and waxed
in moderation) A less expensive
floor finish-and one that is much In
use-is a thin coat of varnish and
then few polishlngs OF wax.
NEAR MRS. POST: We live in the
country and our house is big and
barnlike in its discomfort on cold
Winter evenings. We do have beau
tiful dining room and during coldest
weather the family gathers around
the dining table of an evening-one
to read, one to sew. perhaps father
will do some book work, the young
children will be studying. think if
we had low lights in this room instead
of light from the ceiling the whole
effect would be one of warmth and
cheerfulness. But the high light does
not seem friendly. Would you suggest
a table lamp, which We could remove
at meal time?
AnSWer-InlS is one occasion Wnen
the Victorian droplisht again comes
into its own. Or "droplight" might
mean a good strong light hung over
the center of the table, with broad,
drum-shaped shade lined with white,
or almost white. If you like to use
candles on your table for meals, then
the droplight should. of course. be on
pulley cords, so that it can be pushed
up out of the way. On the other hand,
II you don't like a drop lamp, then
put lamp on the table by all means.
Or possibly have two standing lamps,
one on either side, which are easily
adjusted to the work being done by
the various members of the family.
If you have these, it would be we'll to
havs double plugs under the table. to
which the cords can be attached,
since, as we all know. people are apt
to trip over cords which are plugged
in at the wall base and drawn far out
into the room.

puppy found himself riding in all the

Immediately recognized the fact that
there was baby in the house. The

baby had been treated like some in
