 Before she could speak, he turned on his heel, strode out of the room, leaving her alone, her heart no longer beating madly, but filled with an emptiness such as she had never dreamed existed such an aching despair and tor tured yearning.

BEARDED, thick-set, a dynamo D of energy, Francois Auguste Rene Rodin rose from the hum- blest street in Paris to stir all France.
 His father was inspector of po- lice," very minor rank, in 1840 when Rene was born. But Rodin, pere, did provide for his sons education. And at an early age the youth showed an amazing in- terest in drawing. Later, he chose art as his career. Eventually he became assistant to Carriere-Bel- leuse, the sculptor, in Brussels. From that date he seemed to have found his place.
 So the years brought Auguste Rene increasing fame and increas- ing storm. Controversy ever beat about his head as he flouted the conventions, battled the critics. He undertook sort of companionate marriage, for one thing, living for 30 years with Rose Beuret before the two were formally welded just before death came to them.
 In 1917, Rodin died, a few months after his wife's death. But in France, the world, he still lives as the man who created "The Thinker" "The Kiss" the "Age of Bronze" Resurrection" and myr- lad other vigorous sculptures. He is shown here on 1887 French stamp.

freedom. That was what you started out to seek, when I first met you. That is what you think you want now. You don't know that 1t is something not found by seeking; it is something within ones self. The only freedom that matters.
 T had 1t for awhile," he went on, his dark face grim and serious. T let you take 1t away from me. But I've found it - or myself, rather, again. You cannot find it, either, by running away, first from one man, then another, from one place to the next. You will have to look within your own heart if you really wish to find it."
 T didn't ask you to preach to me upon any subject" Connie stated coldly. Her blue eyes were cold and hostile; yet her hand trembled as she put down the cof- fee she had finished. T told you l meant to divorce you. You agree we've made failure of this mar riage. We were never suited. We belong in different worlds. I should have married Rodney. You'll have to let me marry him, if go away with him."
 T told you that shall not divorce you, or let you divorce me, under any circumstances" His eyes met hers; they seemed devoid of emotion, but there was no mis- taking the firm determination in their depths. T believe" he added, almost gently, that you know me well enough, by now, to realize that I shall not change my mind"
 Wasn't that what she first had thought about him; that here was a man who knew what he believed to be right, and who would not be moved from the course he had chosen? After their first quarrel, in that dingy little hotel of their first honeymoon, when she had thrown herself into his arms, sobbing, she had known then that the day would come when tears or soft lips - or even his love for her - would not move him. Wasn't that why she had loved him.-for this strength in him, this stern stability-because he had been different in this form any man she ever had known.
 She knew, looking at him now, that Bret meant what he had said He would not divorce her, no mat ter what she did. There did not seem much point in running away with Rodney under these circum- stances!
 we can't go on this way" Con- nie said. Surely you see that? Despising each other, living like strangers. What if I told you that I love Rodney? That know now I have always loved him?"
 She saw that fine white line spring around Bret's mouth, the pain that leaped into his eyes for an unguarded moment. He said, T shouldn't believe you"
 But I'm telling you that it's true" She had to hurt him, as much as she could. There was no other way. Even though this was deliberate, cruel lie that she told him.
 Then" he said, speaking slowly again, carefully, T shall not tell you - what I intended telling you

nEAR MRS. POST: A young wom-

the man I am to marry shortly, has
sent a wedding present to me ad-
dressed to the house of my fiance. I

her choice of a present rather per-

Answer-I agree with you that her

note of polite thanks-the same sort

Few Guiding
Principles
Helpful
A Youngster Must
Learn Obedience
From the Start.
By ANGELO PATRI.

NOBODY is wise enough to tell
a mother just what to do to
bring up child in the way he should
60. But here are few guiding prin-
ciples.
First have clear idea of what
you want child to be and to do.
Let your thoughts about him be
clear and definite and strong. You
cannot hide your thought. A mother
cannot secretly wish that her child
would become movie star or mil
1ionaire banker and tell him that
she wants him to be servant OF
God. He will know about the hidden
ambition and he will want to follow
that and end up by falling be-
tween the two standards. So think
clearly and definitely on what your
child is to be and to do.
Second, teach him to obey. 1t is
nonsense to say that teaching child
obedience is robbing him of freedom.
Proper obedience saves child from
the slavery of ignorance and sets him
free to use his intelligence. Teach
him to obey. and he will gladly obey
you when he finds that it means
greater comfort. more happiness and
higher rewards Decide upon what
things are important. Confine your
request for obedience to them. Don't
fuss over triffes Ask for obedience
when it's necessary and see that you
get it.
Third, use force as little as possible.
How do you feel when somebody or
ders you to do something? Even
though you want to do it in the
first place, you rebel. So does the
child. Say to child: "It's getting
close to supper time. John. How about
putting things away now and getting
ready? I'll give you a hand with
the blocks" That kind Of a speech
will bring obedience and cooperation.
But if you shout: John, get those
things out Of the way; do it now;
you hear me-" you will get only re-
sistance.
But don't hesitate to use force If
necessary. In an emergency pick
the child up and put him where he
ought to be and make him stay there.
Fourth, don't talk and talk and
talk to child 2 or 3 years Of age.
A child of that age gets tired listen
ing after the first few moments, and
his mind closes down tight. That Is
natures way of protecting him against
strain. Make your words few. Don't
argue. Be consistent. Try to keep
an even temper. Because you love
this child, be strong. In that way
you help him against his own weak
ness.
Fifth, keep order in the house. A
disorderly house makes for bad man.
ners, loud noise. disobedient children.
Put a noisy child into quiet, orderly
room; speak softly to him; give him
some trifling task to do, and he will
become orderly and quiet.
Sixth, routine the day. Have q
fixed time for doing the important
things. A program will help you save
time, help you to keep the family
od-tempered and in working order.
Children thrive best when they know
what to expect and when to expect 1t.
Order is a law Of health.
Seventh, teach your child to be
useful. AS soon as he can hold his
own washrag, or the soap, let him
do so. Let him feel that he is being
useful. As he grows let his usefulness
grow. Teach him to put things where
they belong so that nobody has to pick
up after him. AS soon as the child
is able to do q household chore let
him. Usefulness Is tonic to the
body and the mind.

and comfortable and at the same time
smart to look at.
How can you do it? Wide-brimmed
hats in felt and straw will shield you
from the suns fiercest rays and give
your face a f1attering frame; likable
linens in roughish, porous weaves with
crush resistant features will let in the
air; hopsacking and smooth sleek
sharksk'n will star for resort wear;
there are scores of cool, small printed
sheers for town with feather-Weight
removable jackets, while frosty white
in many fabrics seems to be the spot
light evening choice of the moment.
A particularly cool suggestion for a
hot summer day is a mint green sheer
frock, with simply designed bodice
and pleated skirt that swings out
easily and gracefully with every step,
and looks as cool as cucumber. Wear
it with large white hat and watch
the temperature drop-at least that is
what your friends will say.
a S WE watched recent showing of
summer fashions we could not
help but note how in each case even
the simplest of frocks was given a chic
touch by the use of a contrasting belt
and hat that had very definite re.
lation either to the belt or to the basic
color of the dress Take for instance
a very simple dark blue sheer with
small design of pink, give it wide
crushed belt of dusty pink and pink
felt hat with a becoming brimline and
it clicks Immediately.

show each other. Every marriage Is
bound to be full Of work and worry,
sacrifices and disillusionment, and
whether in the end these become a
burden too great to be borne or just
something that they take In their
stride as part Of the adventure Of
matrimony is determined by how often
they say thank you" to each other.
For 1t is so easy and such q pleasure
to do things for those who appreclate
them, and so hard and so bitter to do
them for those who take your toll,
your self-denial and your WEAKNESS
for granted, without ever making a
sign that you are martyrizing yourself
for their benefit.
II every wife told her husband every
day how much she appreciated all he
did to keep her and the children soft
and safe, and that she thought that
the man who slaved to support fam
lily and went without vacations so
that she and the youngsters might go
South in the winter and North in
the summer deserved to be canonized
as saint, there would be no more
disgruntled husbands. And if every
husband told his wife how fine and
wonderful he thought her and what
a help she was to him, and that he
thanked God every night for giving
her to him, there would be no more
ladies whining over the monotony Of
domesticity and pricing tickets to
Reno. The thing that is the matter
with marriage is that husbands and
wives don't say thank you."
- ~
A ND, if you want to get along in the
world. appreciation is your best
talent. A cynic has defined graft
tude as a lively sense of favors to
come. Perhaps it is But even II it
is only come-on, it works. For GER
tainly very few Of us ever put our
selves out to do a second kindness for
any one who has not appreciated the
first one.
The man you don't mind lending
money to when he gets in a jam is the
one who is still grateful for the help
you gave him before The guests you
like to invite to your house are those
who speak every now and then of 4
what a good time they always have
at your dinners.
Those to whom you give a hand
up are those who do not forget your
boost. SO appreciation pays even
materially, besides being a lady's and
gentleman's gesture for favors re-
ceived. DOROTHY DIX.

TIME most productive and the
least practiced Of all the vir-
i tues is appreciation. THANK
YOU" are the magic words that
are not only love charm that wins
and holds affection, but that have
only to be uttered to unlatch doors
and open purses and make every one
give YOU the glad hand and push your
fortunes. Yet not one person IN q
thousand ever takes the trouble to
speak them.
No other human effort returns such
a percentage as gratitude and recognl-
tion of a kindness that has been done
one or the help that has been given
one in the hour of need. Such belng
the case, and the rewards OF appre-
citation SO great, it is strange thing
that people should be so loath TO snow
it. No one can explain it except upon
the theory that many OF us are SO SELL
conceited that We think that no
matter what others do for us, II Is
no more than what was coming to us;
that a few of us are SO mean ana
greedy that we will take everything
that others will give us and then be-
little their gifts by showing them That
we do not think them worthy OF any
acknowledgment.
Perhaps there are some who do not
realize what a part appreciation plays
in life. They have not analyzed their
own emotions enough, for instance, TO
know that it is the basis OF love. 1t
is the thing above all others, above sex
attraction, above beauty, above suit
ability that draws men and women
together.
John falls in love with Mary not
because she is pretty or sweet or
good cook, but because she appreciates
him. Because she makes him feel
that in a world that has somehow
never discovered how wise and witty
and good looking ne is. she has seen
him as a paragon And Mary falls in
love with John for precisely the same
reason. Other men may have passed
her by and not seen that her sandy
hair covered a clever brain, or what
perfectly beautiful soul resided in her
overweight body. But John appre-
ciated that if she wasn't Miss America
she would make him the kind Of
wife who is a queen in the home
circle.
Nor do many husbands and wives
realize that whether a marriage is a
success or failure depends altogether
upon the amount Of appreciation they
