Adventure Intrigues
Her Always

Miss Frost always wanted a
book store. SO some years ago
she opened one at PittSfield,
Mass. From this shop there de-
veloped an interesting exper-
ience of a caravan book store,
which toured New England in
gaily painted trucks.
She later went with a book
shop around the world on a
Cook tour, and with a small
group sailed in an 85-foot YES
sci without motor from Glou-
cester, Mass, to Stockholm,
Sweden.
Working with a New York
publisher and several years on
the faculty of Rockford College.
Rockford, ILL.,, have helped fill
up Miss FroSt's busy years.
BY special arrangement Miss
Frost gives readings of her
fathers poems for groups re-
questing it. This meets entirely
with her fathers approval, for
during Robert Frost's visit here
last week, when he appeared in
Roosevelt Auditorium, he was
heard to remark that Lesley's

Bottles in Shape
OF Little Candles

Little bottles in the shape of
candles, held by quaint little fig
ureS; plumeS, in cluster of
three, which are really little bot
ties of perfume; then slender
bottles, made like skyscrapers,
for toilet water, and the bells,
which are so definitely designed
for hanging from the green
bows. They come in white or
red satin, with either sachet
bags or little bottles of perfume
inside; also the silver transpar.
ent bells, tied with holly and
mistletoe.
The gold jingle bells cover
three little bottles of fine per-
fume, and when the bell part is
lifted off there is a good-sized
clapper inside, so we have a
musical, sweet-toned bell.

They Had .
TOnsils Out
AS you no doubt know, the
quints had their tonsilS out a
short time ago. Well, we had to
keep them in bed for quite q
while, and while they were sick,
the routines which they follow
were disturbed. When they got
up and about again, we found
that our discipline had suffered.
They had had a brief interval
when things sort Of went any
way they wanted, and they Just
didn't relish going back to doing
things at a certain time and in
q certain way. OF course, it
isn't taking any time to get
them back to the routines, but
1t shows how vigilant you must
be.
I know lots Of people don't
like the idea of routines. They
feel they wouldn't want to fol-
low them themselves, but it
pays dividends with children.
Take the Quints, for example;
they have sturdy, straight
bodies, sparkling eyes and rosy
cheeks. Your children can be
Just the same.

You'll Find
Her Different

The daughter of Robert Frost,
famous poet and lecturer, her
self a writer and teacher, you
expect to meet someone who
conforms the least bit to a ira
ditional pattern. Whatever
your preconceived notions Of
her may be, they'll all be wrong.
Miss Frost is rare personality.
She tells you to your amazement
that she worked in an airplane
factory during the war, and
went back to college afterward,
rounding out her student expert
ence, which scattered itself over
England, Wellesley, Barnard
and the University Of Michigan.
She's Travelled, played, worked,
made money all over the world,
and yet, seeing her in a room
full of students, you'd never pick
her out as the teacher. You'd
think her one of the students,
and you'd wonder who she was.
Speaks Language
OF Youth
It's easy to see how the stu
dent body at King-Smith is at
tracted to her and to her classes
like bees around a honey pot.
She speaks the language of
youth, she lives the life
of the current moment, and
she looks like a young girl.
Golden hair, in a longiSh bob,
waving naturally away from a
face of great intellectual beauty,
her dress, manners and attitude
contribute to this agreeable i'm
preston.
The same elasticity which
punctuated her academic expert
ence has guided her work and
pursuits since leaving college.
A year or so ago she picked up
her two little girlS-Elinor Frost
and Lesley Lee Francis-and
motored down to Mexico City
alone, taking two months for
the trip, stopping everywhere to
visit friends, the children enjoy
ing it as much as she did. AS
she remained on there, studying
at the University of Mexico, liv-
ing in an English-oWned haci-
enda. there were opportunities
for exciting trips in which the
children revelled.

Haze Them Rest
Before Eating

Mealtime is a very important
time in the life of a child. If
you can manage it, see that
they get a little rest before they
sit down to the table, for if they
are rested they eat better and
their digestive organs do much
better work.
Parents should never bicker or
quarrel at the table. It is very
bad for the child who is listen
ing as well as bad for your own
digestion and disposition. If you
must quarrel, wait until the
child isn't around. BY that time
chances will be you've forgotten
all about your little grievance.
Nagging is one of the worst
faults in marriage, and it doesn't
matter who does it. Certainly
you can't have a happy home
with a nagger present. And if
the home isn't happy, how can
you have happy children.
Don't coax your child to eat
II he IS well; of course, it is
sometimes necessary to coax the
child who is i'll. If one of the
Quints won't eat her spinach, it
is quietly removed, and she isn't
coaxed to eat it. But neither is
she given anything to replace
it.
One important thing: Formu-
late a set of rules for your child's
health. then never break them.
Be consistent day after day.

it had been sheared off when the
craft struck a clump Of trees.
The entire area was soaked by
recent rains and rescue workers
toiled in ankle-deep mud. Word
of the crash spread rapidly, and
by midnight traffic was tangled
for miles around.
James Doran, As, of Independ-
ence, and several other witnesses
told authorities and reporters they
saw the plane burst into fire E
the air, and a few minutes later
heard the crash.
FLARES DROPPED
Airpline officials said, however,
that what appeared to be flames
probably were flares dropped by
the pilots in their efforts to land.
James Wynee, radio operator at
the airport, reported he saw the
planes landing lights turned on
about eight miles from the air.
port. Suddenly the lights diSap-
peared, he said.
The plane missed two level
fields, one on each side of the
gully, which probably would have
permitted a safe landing. Condi-
ton of the wreckage indicated
the pilots were attempting to set
down the plane because of some
difficulty which probably devel-
oped only a few minutes before
the crash.

story which substantiated Don

Charlotte.
He was crying and. praying

round-eyed lad testified.
In all the testimony given.
nothing had come out to change
substantially the known facts:
That Charlotte Matthiesen, iS,
and Donald, two years younger,
were in love; that Charlotte was
an expectant mother; that in des-
lperation she suggested a suicide
pact; that Donald had killed her
with his fathers pistol and by her
own wish, when her own hand
|trembled so that she was unable
to aim the gun.
MOTHER TO AID
Prepared to take the stand as
a defense witness was Mrs. Chris
tina Matthiesen, mother Of the
slain girl. who, with her husband,
pledged her aid to Donald from
the first, and has not reneged.
Mrs. Matthiesen has said that
her daughter even as a child had
spoken Of suicide If ever faced
with a crisis in her life. She has
said:

pulled the trigger, Charlotte
would have done it,"
