that. in actual fact, he need never

The first and by far the most impor-
tant service we can render to Grip
pied child is to convince him that
there is place for him in the social
and industrial world. 1t is vital, to
create in him desire to meet life.
adequately. 1t is necessary to stimu-
late him to cooperate fully in his re-
habilitation.
When you have accomplished this,
the handicapped child will no longer
indulge in morbid thoughts and self
pity. but will turn his attention to the
job of making himself independent.
He will be receptive to everything
that contributes to making his life
interesting and useful.
In all this, the attitude of parents is
the most important thing in the world.
Forget the deformity if it should be-
come your responsibility to deal with
a handicapped child - forget all this
and remember that you are dealing
with a personality. Put your stress on
the child's assets and school yourself
to ignore the things he is obviously not
able to do. This is the way to give him
a sense of his own worthwhileness,
confidence in the world, spirit of in
dependence, a sense of security. No
effort is too great nor time too pre-
cious when it is spent in helping a
handicapped child to overcome the
obstacles on his path to a happy. use

Because jobs have been much scarcer
for those under twenty-one years of
age, boys and girls have stayed in
school longer, and received a more
adequate preparation for work and
life. In 1880, approximately 30 per

But whichever way it began, by the
time Tony'd got that girl alive and
gaining strength. and beginning to

that time on was to see what a woman

And then he smiled at her, sweet
and troubled and straight from his
heart.
Becky says it was the smile that
started to put her right. That may be

love than most stimulants But what
Tony 'ellairs gave her in the next six
months - and that was the queerest
and most startling. most touching
thing to see - wasn't the love OF
man for woman, but - there isn't
any other way to put it - the love OF
a mother for child.
First of all he had her moved to
hospital; then the doctors said il there
was hope for Becky. it was in an
other climate. Tony said, 'I'll fix
that" telephoned nurses, travel agen-
cies, and finally his manager.
What the world heard and saw in
the headlines was that Tony Bellairs
had broken his contract but they
didn't find out that Tony left New
York with two nurses and a dying girl.
Not single paper got the story OF
that next half year, when Tony
seemed to be using the whole Of his
will and vitality and charm to
make the girl be alive again.
He hardly left her, and whatever
had been lacking before to make him
care about life, was there now. In some
extraordinary way, he found some
thing he could do, that nsotte1ed!
Something to do. Someone to care for.
Something, the challenge and difficulty
of which, made his Knockout conquest

Smith had been out of the show six
weeks now. That she was sick.
Sick? What's wrong with her?
Naturally the man didn't know.
So Tony went to find out.
What he found. when he'd got toher
address, was a room over the Ell on
a corner of Eighth Avenue - and
Becky in a little cheap, freshly
laundered wrapper as white as her
face. Becky lying on rickety sofa
with an old rug over her knees and
book lying beside her unopened. He
heard her coughing as he came upstairs.
Tony'd hardly ever seen sickness
before. Certainly he'd never seen any
one as sick as Becky Smith was. She
turned her head when he came in, with
little shaky cry of surprise. And
when he saw her face, and how thin
she was. her brow and hands nearly
transparent, the first thing Tony felt
was terror. Everything that was SEN
sitive and nervous in him was struck
to horror by this dark little room. with
the Ell crashing and rafting by outside
the window, and this girl, who'd been
so sane and healthy. possibly dying
like a flower thrown out on an ash heap.
And then, somehow, he managed to
smile. Il heard you we're sick. So l
thought I'd pay you more friendly
sort of visit than you paid me"
And he sat down by her. and. bit
timidly, took hold of her hand. Il

Becky was too weak to say much.
And too sick even to be much sur
prised by his sudden concern.

best there is in life not only
in spite of physical handicaps but
even because of them. The young slut

- he may be the Demosthenes of his

Infantile paralysis left Tommy with
a right leg that kept him off the foot

it interfere with the excellent scholastic
record he made at school, nor prove

Tony sat up in the middle of the
bfue quilt and pillows, blue crepe de
Chine everywhere.
Here's Miss Smith," said the
nurse.
Tony turned to Becky. Il say. it's
Sweet of you to come"
And Becky, who'd been looking
round the room, answered, "IA say
it is! Gee. what flowers. You might be

Tony said he had had nervous
breakdown.
"Nersous breakdo,Un! Whatever for.
and what about?"
Well, Tony was put to it to tell what
about. He explained that he had a
tendency to nelancholia.
"Melancholia, my foot" she said.
Il can't waste my afternoon. Take
my advice, Tony. Get up and get to
work and think you're lucky you've
got work ready waitin' for you" And
out she went.
There was the long and the short of
Becky's visit.
The short of it was that Tony
Bellairs got out of bed in a temper!
And stayed out.
He was back in the theater within
a week; and within two weeks the
show was playing with Tony's usual
full-house, grand slam success.
The long of it 80?
There isn't any doubt that, what
ever Tony imagined he was after when
he first started flirting with Becky.
there was something more mysterious
and relentless than a spoiled boys
vanity pushing him to get her!
And as for Becky, wasn't it like
Becky's sane. sweet, but independent
nature, to suppose that she was the
last girl in the world to be interested
in a man like Tony Bellairs? She
wasn't interested. Everything about
him annoyed her good sense.
All the same, there's that queer un-
conscious way in which two people are
sometimes pushed until they're sud-
denly very close.
Anyway. it seemed that Tony for
got all about her. For time. He prob
ably didn't like thinking about that
last visit of hers. He'd imagined such
a very different scene beforehand.
Then, one evening - it was April -
he thought about her again.
He got his dresser at the theater to
call up the stage door of the theater
where her show was. The dresser came
back with the information that Becky

young people whose business life still

Tony said: first. his money would
last two people in that little pink
house until they were both three hun
dred years old. Was that long enough?
Second: to hell with his career.
Third: as to what he'd do - there
was plenty to do for man with vines
to grow, wood to cut. a garden to keep
and the woman he loved. And
asphodels to fetch for her.
And so, said Rudolf . but as he

recognized Tony Bellairs.
The woman's back was straight,
graceful, wide-shouldered. Her hair
bright brown and curling.
Then she turned around.
Well, I've seen beautiful women,
pretty women, and women with
charm, or youth. or gaiety. But when
saw Becky Bellairs' face, as she
turned to me full in that afternoon
sunlight, l knew I'd never in my life
before seen perfectly happy woman!
1t was like bloom on her. and
light within her. and it seemed to get
in the very air round her, like the
visible blessedness that painters used
to put round saints in the form of
halos. 1t was in her eyes, and in her
wide smile, and in every one of her
movements and gestures there was d
sort of controlled. instructive delight.
suppose she said something in
response to Rudolf's greeting. for l
remember her voice had bubbling
undertone of joy like stream tum-
bling down a summer hillside. But
whatever she said forget, for at that
moment Bellairs himself came out of
the Inn. and saw his face. too. And
he had that same look, that same
tranquil irradiation of delight; they
were like two people invested with
some strange, wonderful spirit that
set them apart from the rest of us.
We all had talk. l think it was
about the local wines. and then the
: matter of getting fresh butter reg
ularly, which suppose was her
problem. I remember she said they
had an icebox and no ice.
Then they went, out of the gate and
up the hill, arm in arm, he moving
with his extraordinary grace, and she,
laughing her goodby to us, and the
two of them leaving the wonder Of
their happiness in the air about us
like a fragrance, as if a wagonload of
her beloved asphodels had gone by.
