CHAPTER FoRTY. THREE

PERHAPS IT was only natural
that the thing for which Ylcna had
planned bisathlessly. dramatically
even, should happen without warm
ing, entirely unheralled.
While she stood there staring
with eyes that cared not believe,
Carlyle lifted her white,sloyed
hand and said. "Y.ppee! I'm in the
west now Mother. You told me they
said 'Yippee"
Ylena remembered having told
the little sri how. at the rodeos,
spectators screamed "Yippee, Ride
'em, cowboy" and such shouts Of
encouragement. That out-of-place
greeting brought laughter TO Ylena,
helpful laughter that eased the
aching tension in her throat and
saved her from breaking COM
plately.
From the tearful-with-joy Stone
she took the child into her arms.
held her against the coral folds of
her velvet housecoat, and walked
into the baby's bedroom.
. Darling" she said This is your
room and these are all your dolls,
and toys" She set Carlyle on the
floor and watched; with a full
heart, while the youngster rushed
from one enhancing part OF the
room to another.
IT'S like a circus, mother" she
said delightedly. with all the tents
end cages and animals. And all the
tolls are watching the show" She
sat down in a small armchair,
floInced with white ruffles. what
n nice chair. I've never had a white
chair" With caressing hands, she
patted 1t.
Hlena thought; I'm the happiest
WOMAN in the world. Everything
Ivs wanted, everything I've waited
for. is right here in this room.
Suddenly she remembered having
left Vernon Stone standing just in
side her front door.
Gently she murmured to the
baby. Il forgot all about Uncle
Vernon. I was so happy about you
I completely forgot him. I'm going
to send Scott Hamilton In to talk
to you. You will like him. He tells
such marvellous stories"
Quickly she sped to the living
room. Hamilton had taken charge
of Vernon Stone and had made him
at home. The girl stopped to put
an admonishing hand on Scott
Hamilton's arm. Help me, Scott.
Go in and entertain her while I talk
to Vernon. 1t is a strange thing.
but having her here so suddenly
has overwhelmed me-" The trem-
bling Of her body shook her friends
arm to his shoulder. Without an in
stants pause. he went to the childs
room and she was alone with the
lawyer.
Stone followed her TO the rose
and blue dining quarters, where
they climbed onto the rose leather
stools. Ylena poured two cups of
hot coffee and placed one before
him.
Il thought II advisable not TO
tell you we were coming. my dear
You've had so many false hopes.
But now, don't know. 1t seems to
have hit you with a bang" He
shook his head nervously. Il don't

Dr. Gesell's important work now centers in the Clinic of Child Development at Yale University. New Haven, Connecticut. There he has a score of rooms for his observations and experiments.
 The rooms are extremely home like, decorated and furnished es- pecially to please the children. The place is literally honeycombed with scientific apparatus, much of which pr. Gesell himself has developed, but this is carefully hidden behind false walls, so the children may be as natural and "at home" as possible.
 A number of the rooms have "one-way" screens which enable scientists = and parents, too - to observe the children, and at the same time remain unseen. Motion pictures can also be taken of the children when they are unaware of anything except that. they are en- loving themselves. rSgt

 This sort of forcing of humans is largely wasted efforts, says pr. Arnold Gesell. In addition, he finds indications that 1t may be injurious in the long run.
 Dr. Gesell has made numerous carefully controlled experiments which show that special training is not of much use until the child has reached the stage in its de- velopment when it is fin readiness" to walk or talk or read or write.
 There is Q natural unfolding of readiness to learn various things in every child as he grows. The child's leg muscles are strong enough for walking. for example, long before he starts to walk. He will not be able for walking. It Is much the same in the spinal cord have naturally de- veloped to the point that they can control the muscles which have been strong enough for some time. r
 Apparently there are no exercises, no encouragement. coaxing or worry that parents may use to speed up the natural growth of these nerve senters which govern the readiness lorawaiking. It is much the same with most things the child has. to earn as 1t is growing up.

 As a gesture of goodwill for the services rendered, Capt. Egan ex- pressed his thanks, and the chef in turn, turned out some nice, sizzling, juicy steaks which they devoured with keen delight.

Judge Quotes
 Poetry Denying Divorce Decree

Love for their child and the ob- ligations they owed to that young ster were factors cited as reasons why the Donnelly's, Dixie Clara, and Herbert F., both of Waterbury ought to keep their home intact, according to 8 memorandum de- cision handed down today by Judge Frank P. McEvoy of supe- rior court.
 In denying the divorce Mrs. Donnelly sought last Thursday against her husband, Judge Me- Eyoy stated plaintiff had not con- clusively proven cruelty, but rath- CT that all indications pointed to the possibility of creation of a home for the child, since both pro- fess to love the youngster. Finally, quoting from Lowell, Judge Mc- Evoy indicated that married men and women owe stronger obliga- tions to m Glkind than petty quar- rels. The lines from Lowell are as follows:
 "The longer on this earth we live And weigh the various qualities
 of men,
 Seeing how most are fugitive Or ftful gifts at best, of now and
 then,
 The more we feel the high stern- featured beauty
 Of plain devotedness to duty, Steadfast and still, nor paid with
 mortal praise,
 But finding amplest recompense For life's ungarlanded expense In work done squarely and un-
 wasted days"
