so hard that the contents splashed
out on the tablecloth. Not so Eddie,
the son.

he exclaimed, reach-
fling his arm about her.
“Won't that be scrumptious? New
York's only fifty miles away from
Fairview and I reckon you ain't been
that far away from home this long
time. What got you into the notion all
of a sudden?”
Mrs. Leesmith flashed a grateful
glance at her big son and drew a let-
ter from her apron pocket. “I've been
thinkin’ I'd accept one o’ Margie New-
ton’s bids to visit her. She's that girl
that spent all last summer at Comp-
ton’s. 'Member how she liked to run
over here for some o’ my doughnuts?
Well, we got real friendly like an’
we been correspondin’ all winter. The
invite this mornin’ seemed toll’ble
earnest like so I thought I'd run along
up there for a week or so.”
In spite of the glowering displeas-
ure of her husband, urged on by her
devoted son, Mary Leesmith left the
little farming village of Fairview a
day or two later, bound for the great
metropolis.
“Don’t forget to feed the settin’
hen in Dobbin’s stall,” she called back
to her husband, as Eddie put the car
in gear.
Settling herself in the train, a little
feeling of panic swept over Mary Lee-
smith. She wished she hadn't been
quite so daring. The city was an aw-
ful big place. Suppose Margie should
not meet her? But all her anxiety was
for nothing. Margie did meet her and
she whizzed along the crowded
streets in one of the most luxurious
motor cars she had ever seen.
“My!” she sighed, leaning back com-
fortably. “This sure is fine. I never
will be able to stand the flivver again,
to say nothin’ bout the old buckboard.

“Oh, it’s terrible, Aantie Leesmith!
the girl answered, trying to check the
quivering of her lips. “I—I've broken
my engagement and I've broken my
heart doing it!”
“What come twixt you, Margie, and
him, such a likely chap—if it's the
one that was out to see you last sum-
mer?”
“It's the same one. We—we quar-
reled over a mere trifle and I got furi-
ously mad. I told him not only that
1 didn’t love him any more but that I
never had. I threw his ring on the
floor. I ran out of the room but not
before I heard him call after me. ‘In
a case like that, I've no choice. Good
night and goodby.'”
“You do love him though—you know
do, child. You couldn't have
stopped off sudden like that!”
“Of course I do, but It's too late to
talk about that now. My horrid old
temper has gone and killed all my
chances for happiness. Oh, Auntie
TL.eesmith! I'm so glad you could come!
I never wanted my mother so badly as
1 did the night after the quarrel.”

Mrs. Leesmith folded the suffering
girl to her motherly bosom and let
her cry there undisturbed until the
before the door of her
handsome home where Margie lived
with her widowed father. Then she
helped her dry her tear-wet eyes and
assured her that she, Fairview's be-

was to gi the chauffeur Crane Wil-

“You don’t know me” she began
without previous introduction, “but

and she needs help. Will you forget
your pride and come with me?

fessly, jumping up.
«Jt may be. You can go in the car

Tense and white-faced, he followed
her out of the building and into the
limousine. Not a word was exchanged
on the way home. Hurrying up the
front steps, Mrs. Leesmith bade him

ment or two. She returned almost
immediately with Margie’'s hand In
hers. When the erstwhile lovers saw
each other they all but collapsed.
“I thought you said there was some- |
thing the matter with her,” Wilmot
said, trying to gain his composure.
“There is,” answered Mrs. Leesmith,
holding fast to the squirming Margie.
“She told you a fib and it's Killing
her. She said she didn’t love you
now and never had and she’s owned up
to me that that ain't so.”
Margie wriggled, trying to escape,
and then turned to bury her face on
Auntie Leesmith’'s ample shoulder.
Auntie Leesmith beckoned to the man
standing like one frozen in the middle |
of the floor, A flush overspread his
face as he shook his head. Mrs. Lee-
smith gave him the look she was in

was minded to disobey her, and in
another second she was slowly push-

“You're two of the headiest children

Pretty Cactus “Gardens”
Caught Popular Fancy
From the heart of the desert coun-
try of Arizona comes a story of a
woman's success in a singular indus-
try, one indigenous with those thirst-
ing deserts. Confronted with the ne-
cessity of earning a living for herself
and three children, Mrs. May Pitts of
Florence, Ariz. turned to the making
of miniature cactus gardens as a pos-
sible source of income. Her resource
and ingenuity met with financial re-

“I was left a widow with three
small children, and almost penniless.
I tried everything from jelly making
to mending clothes and could make
only enough money to exist.
“One day I was walking down the
street and looked Into a florist’s win-
dow. The florist had a dozen or more
small cactus gardens in the window,
the kind that have been a fad lately.
I bought a few dozen cactus plants
of all varieties. They were very beau-
tiful. I added those I could find from
the country about.
“Then I bought a quantity of gaudy
dishes and bowls, mostly Chinese in
spirit. I advertised my little gardens
when they were complete and in less
than a month I had sold 20 of them
and had orders for more. All the
gardens were small and sold from $3
to $5 each with the dishes, and with-
out the dishes I sold them at $1 each,
“Before I advertised the second
time I made some more elaborate ones.
This time I bought small Japanese
pagodas and bridges and little Jap-
anese figures in gay clothes and placed
them under the little green plants. I
had one littie Jap lady with a red
parasol flirting with an officer on a
bridge. Many of my customers fell
in love with the garden with the little
Japanese lady and wanted one like it,
I used moss for the grass, and have
made some really picturesque gardens,
“I am now making a good living out
of the cactus business. I am thinking
of making more elaborate rock gar-

the big estates that fringe the suburbs.
It is pleasant work amd I enjoy it.

Evolution of “Stateroom”

Pepys’ Diary which gives a clew to
this (April 24, 1660) : “Very pleasant

the Nazeby, but not so rich.” Anoth-
er evidence of this use is to be found
in the London Gazette for 1690, No. 2,
982: “The yacht having lost in this
encounter but three men, who were
killed by one great shot in the state-
room.” By the time the Hanoverian
kings were on the throne of England
the term was thoroughly
established in the language, for Smol-

Berlin. — Dusseldorf's mysterious

rise to numerous startling and unusual

does not afford. Legal concepts born of a passing order are losing their
utility and devices for Jaw making and law administration designed to

The habit of lawyers in looking to reported opinions for the answer
to legal questions has tended to deprive the law of the benefit of new
ideas in testing the validity: of rules of the law. Even when courts are
inclined to formulate new policies, their decisions too often rest on little
more than the limited experience of the Re judges who make the
pronouncements. Seldom do the courts utilize the knowledge of the econ-

PARENT'S DUTY TO THE CHILD
By MARIE 1. RASEY, Detroit Teachers’ College.
Parents must first assure themselves that
they undertake the directing of other lives. Parents fail to realize it,
oftentimes the daughter is grown up more than her mother. One of the

but
chief characteristics of maturity is the assuming of responsibility. This
means the ability to solve life’s little problems as they present themselves.
We are all in some stage of growing up all the time, and when young
people seek our help we’d get along better if we assumed that shoulder-
to-shoulder attitude, rather than that of “I know it all and I’ll lead the
| way.”
The adjustment of one individual to another is one of the greatest
problems. The more a child has been pampered the less he will be able
to adjust himself to others. When he leaves school he understands little of
life’s values and has a hard time facing problems.
When a parent pampers a child he takes, free of cost, a privilege
