OBSERVATIONS

An Is year old senior at Hair
ward University, by the name
OF Henry C. Everett, the son of
a prominent colored family of
Columbia, South Carolina, DIR.
and Mrs. B. A Everett, took a
photo of himself in his Little
Hall dormitory room.
Y o Everett's ingenuity
stamps him as a young man with
ideas, ambition and r~esourceful-
ness. He didn't make the foot
ball team, nor did he try because
he was interested in obtaining an
education in some of the techni-
cal branches which are opened to
youths who exercise their brain
and talent to attain a place for
themselves and their people. He
is a lensman, aviation student,
social service worker of no little
ability.

Higher education and more

prove to be more valuable than

him, and SO, of course, that settles
it. But he says he can make me,
and, Badly, sometimes 1 wish that
he could. 1t would be such heav-
emily thing for the whole family. Of
course that isn't the way to look at
it, but I believe Judy wants it. She
believes in love in cottage, but she
says that love in a palace might be
equally satisfying, with fewer things
to worry about.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, the IA
nous poet, was not tolerant of youth
The youngsters who showed signs of
accomplishing things were, in his
opinion, "conceited in the morning
and sleepy in the afternoon.
Youth has COMPOUNDED him, how
ever, for it has more than held it's
own in discoveries that have brought
progress to the world, observes a
writer in London Answers Maya
zine.
DR.. Niels Bohr, of Copenhagen,
was only % when he startled the
scientific world by saying that the
atom was a miniature solar system
but he was right! In 1922, at the
age of 81, he received the Nobel
prize for the greatest discovery in
physics-the youngest man ever to
receive that coveted award.
Henry Mosely, an Englishman, was

things a bit blue in that direction?
Your letter sounded like it.
"Be good to yourself, old dear, and
love me more than ever"
Jane signed her name and stood
up, stretching her arms above her
head. 1t was late and she was very
tired. A great storm was shaking
the windows. The wind from the
lake beat against the walls with the
boom of guns.
She walked the floor, a tense little
figure, fighting against fear. The
storm had become a whistling pan
denonium. She gave a cry of re-
lief when the door opened and her
brother-in-law entered.
'I'm half-frozen, Janey. It was
a fight to get through. The cars

for you and we'll dine together and
see play"
She tried to protest, but he plead
ed. "This is my day. Don't spoil
it, Jane"
It was nearly three o'clock when
they left the table, and they had a
long drive before them. Darkness
had descended when they reached
the house. 1t was still showing.
Bob was upstairs, walking around
the little room like a man in a
dream
81 can't tell you," he confded to
Jane after Frederick had left, 'how
queer I felt when / came in and
found Miss Martin with the babies,
and that stately old woman in the
kitchen. And everything going like
clockwork. Miss Martin explained,
and - well, Towne just waves
wand, doesn't he, Janey, and makes
things happen?"
81 don't know that l ought to let
him do so much" Jane said.
"Oh, why not, Janey? Just take
the good the gods provide. ;"
Before Frederick Towne reached
his hotel he passed a shop whose
windows were lighted against the
early darkness. In one of the win
dows, fanked by slippers and stock
ings and a fan to match, was a
French gown, all silver and faint
blue, shining wisp of a thing in
lace and satin. Towne stopped the
car, went in and bought the gown
with it's matching accessories. He
carried the big box with him to his
hotel. Resting bit before dinner
he permitted himself to dream of
Jane in that gown, the pearls that
he would give her against the white
of her slender throat, the slim bare
ness of her arms, the swirl of a
silver lace about her ankles-the
swing of the boyish figure in it's
sheath of blue.
He wondered if he offered it to
Jane, would she accept? He knew
she wouldn't. Adelaide would have
made no bones about it. There had
been a lovely thing in black velvet
he had given her, too, wrap to
match.
The evening stretched ahead OF
him, full of radiant promise. He
knew James strength but he was
ready for conquest.
His telephone rang. And Jane
spoke to him.
'Mr. Towne," she said, IT can't
dine with you. But can you come
over later? Judy is desperately ill.
I'll tell you more about it when
see YOU"
Bob had cried when the news
came from the hospital. It had
been dreadful. Jane had never seen
man cry. They had been hard
sobs, with broken apologies be-
tween. "I'm a fool to act like
Jane had tried to say things, then
had sat silent and uncomfortable
while Bob fought for self-control.
Miss Martin had gone home be-
fore the message arrived. Bob was
told that he could not see his wife.
But the surgeon would be glad to
talk to him, at eight.
"And I know what he'll say" Bob
had said to Jane drearily, "that if
can get that specialist up from
Hot Springs, he may be able to dag
nose the trouble. But how am / 60
ing to get the money, Janey? It will
cost thousand dollars to rush him
here and pay his fee. And my in
come has practically stopped. With
all these labor troubles-there no
building. And Judy's nurses cost
twelve dollars day-and her room
five. Oh, poor people haven't any
right to be sick, Janey. There isn't
any place for them"
James face was pale and looked
pinched. "There's the check Badly
sent me for Christmas, fifty dol
lars"

in the bucket"

Gee, I wish had his money"
"Money isn't everything, Bobby"
''It means a lot at time like

frown. Jane knew that Judy's hos
pital expenses were appalling, and
bills were piling up.
II work like a slave" Bob said,
ruefully, "and we've never been in
debt before"
"When Judy is well, things will
seem brighter, Bob" She laid her
hand on his arm.

fear in his eyes. "Jane, she must

Jane was always practical. She

would see things differently.
Yet in spite of her philosophy,
Jane lay awake long time that
night. And later her dreams were

New life for an old rocker

THERE were rocking chairs
1 hanging from the ceiling of a
certain secondhand furniture
store. Nobody wants them any
more" mourned the dealer. "I'd
sell any one you see for so cents"
The little bride with me promptly
chose one. Perhaps she would
paint it for the porch, but I should
have known better.
What she actually did is shown
here in the sketch. The result was
the small but comfortable, mod
ern looking chair at the upper left.
The bride raided mothers attic
for two things that went into the
making of this chair. One was an
old quilt that she used to pad the
back. The other was feathers

from an old bolster which were
used to stuff a seat cushion tightly
so that it would raise the seat
which had been lowered by re-
moving the rockers. Cotton basted
to muslin could have been used
for the back padding and cotton
substitute for the cushion filling.
The new sewing book by Mrs.
Spears contains 80 other useful

But days passed and weeks, and

For all of us. Judy and Bob and
the babies! 1t was the first time
that Jane had thought of her mar

Judy and Bob :.

'Not much. 1 can't leave the ba-

"Your sisters children. Can't you

He and the nurse arrived together.

They were alone in the living
room. Miss Martin had, at once, car

toys.
Frederick laughed. "Well, what
are you going to do about it? You
can't put me out"
"But / can refuse to 60 with you"
there was the crisp note in her
voice which always stirred him.
