The Story of a Girl Who Didn’t

CHAPTER LXVH.
A few days passed rather gloomily
after Hugh Trotter's last vialt tu uur
house. My mind would wander to our
farewell. Kcveial times the director
in my new studio had to aixak sharply
to me. Usually this would have but
goaded Die on. Already feeling under
a cloud it depressed me. Ma>be 1 bad
been working too long witbout a holi-
day. The nervous strain of a Dew kind
of work throughout the year waa be-
ginning to tell on me and 1 did have
envugb on my hbouidera for a girl of my
years. Many thiuga which perhaps 1
would hair passed over as tiifles in the
days gone by. loomed very large to me
in ini' fatigue.
1 tried to hide my depression from
mother. But her low for me made her
eyes very sharp.
“Nellie dear* she a*ked several
times “is anjtaii'g wrong?”
1 assured her that everything was
Scing very well. However after te.i
aye had parsed and we had iut hrs rd
anything from Hugh 1 went borne cuc.-
pl< rely iu the cumps.
“Any nice letters or telephone calls?”
1 would a^k mother when I went Lito
tne house at night but she a^a/a
looked uo at me and shook her
head.
Late one evening Miss Mclntosh the
brad nurse at the hospital where
mother had bcm and with whom 1 had
come to be friend* called upon us tu
see how muther’a convalescence was pru-
cressing. Nbe was delighted at the
faint color in mother’s cheeks snd the
strength of her hand clasp.
“But you look white young lady”
she *aid to me. “Aren't you getting
enough fresh air?"
•oh. yaa" 1 uaaurad bat. " Many of
our better pictures are taken out of
d<»oi> thrxe »lays. Very often I’m not
in the hou*e from morning until the rid
goes down."
“Aie you rating properly?” pursued
Mi** Mclntosh.
“I’ve as healthy a young appetite as
you ever knew" 1 told her with a
laugh.
“Nhe is in love” said my mother
lightly; and the *uggextion was!
enough to bring the blood flaring into
my face and to make me beat a hasty
retreat
PerbagU it waa mother’s tearing
that seemed the last straw. At any
rate a« I undreesed the children that
night the tears kept smarting in mv
eyes in spite of my best efforts to re-
strain them. At lu«t when I had tucked
little Jane into her crib and turned
eat tbe light iaataad of going back
to mother's room to talk with her and
with Mi-- Melateah I fled te ■> owa
room.
After shutting the doro I flung my-
self on my bed. Then thr tears 1 hud
been keeping back for days came with
a rush shaking my young frame and
making me clutch at the pillows. 1
didn’t hear the door open quietly nor
did I realize anybody was in the room
with me until 1 felt Miss Mclntosh's
arm slip over my shoulder.
“What's the matter girlie?" she whis-
pered tenderly. “Couldn't you tell an
• •Id lady-like me—all about it?"
Through my tears at first 1 declar-
ed there wa- "nothing wrong.’’ Miss
Mclntoh smiled gently as *he said:
'Bur Wins ia a curious celebration for a
happy little girl!"
1 choked and wiped my eyes violent-
ly. “It’s nothing really!” I insisted.
“I’m just tired and nervous 1
guess. “
Mias Mclntosh walked away and look-
ed through tbe window out into the
night. Then —
“Pride" xhe said in a conversational
tone and a* though she were talking to
herself “i* efteu a very Billy thing.
Young people always seem to over-esti-
mate the value of their dignity. 1 tell
you. one learn* as one grows older
never to let pt ide cone between you and
any person for whom you happen to
care. Now if 1 loved any one. and I
quarreled with him or he seemed to be
staying away from me for any region
do you know what I’d dn?“
“What?" I a'krd childishly scarcely
realizing how completely 1 wa* giving j
away my secret with the question.
“Why. IM go right after the person
I loved." *ald Mi«a Mclntosh. “I
wouldn’t allow him to stay away. If be
•lid. I would go after him and 1
wouldn't allow him to be angry. 1
would he an good-natured that hr
would feel ridii u!ou* if lie wm
•wn "
“But a girl can’t go after a man"
I suggested timidly.
Miss Mclntosh threw back her head
and laughed.
“Oh. can’t she. my dear!” she said.
“They do it every day. Only very few
of them ha?e the courage to go at the
iob honestly.” And then more serious-
ly: “Denr child yon must realize thnt
n |nvt that i*. worth Imvlu* fo wnrth
working for with your heart and brain*.
Nothing should stand in thr war of
it."

aud desirable.
Only the skirt ia of the taffeta a
straight plain model with organdy bod-
ice or amock. the low*r part cut in sec-
tiona iu irregular length*. The whole
organdy part of tbe dree is trimmed
about it edge with a touch of etn
broidery in a color to match the skirt
or in a vividly contrasting shade. The
waist ia held in with an organdy Mali
which tiea in a flaring bow at tbe back.
Tbe smock or organdy part of the frock
slips on over the head and hang*
straight when unbelted.
Taffeta and organdy sections of
course are separate so that each may
have its own psrticulsr style of clean
ing and have it as often sa needed
without the entire frock baring to be
aent to the cleaners.
This style suggestion msy be em
ployed for tasking a combination sat-
in or taffeta and creo. dress or it may
be used for an all<Otton or heavy linen
and ebeer eotton model. For exnm
pie.'the skirt might be of linen in color
aud the upper part of dotted awisa in
white and color or in organdy as shown.
Fsbric combinations gain in popu

wonderful economy aids.
Now is the time to tskc care of the

Barroughs’ Memorials.
By 11. Addington Bruce
Recently 1 was talking with a vener-
able friend. Martin Kellogg Ucberuier-
□orn who had celebrated bi* JBlth
birthday a few days before Ha had
begun the celebration he t«»1d me b?
settling up at 5 o'cl’M’k and taking a
long walk in open field*.
“There was a tonic in the air a balm
in the skies a music in the buduing
trees and bursting gras* that brought
joy and invigoration to me” be related.
“I came homo feeling toot 1 wax not
>0 rears old. but >0 years young.
“And if 1 have always known this
feeling of youth if at 80 I am able to
xalk ten miles without fatigue it is
because all my life 1 Lave been a lover
of nature.
“1 began to get acquainted with na
tore through boyhood tramp* in the
Catskill*. 1 have walked with nature
through many part* of Europe a* well
a* our own country. And nature ha*
rewarded me by keeping me young in
heart and vigorous in body.
Hr paused a moment then went »»n :
"It io my firm belief that one great
reason many men and women aje un-
timely is bcrau*e they haxe never
learned to love nature. They have not
learned because in youth nobody took
the trouble to teach them why they
*hould lov-* nature and how to love
her. So they have g« nr through life
blind to nature's beauties and unblessed
by her gifts.
“What I should like to sec in every
high school and college i« a depart-
ment or ’chair’ for instruction in iia
ture study. 1 don't mean instruction
in the study of thr structure of flow-
ers or the i natomy of birds or the for-
mation* of the earth.
“Those need to be taught 100 of
course. But far more important i*
teaching thnt will enable |H-ople a'.l
through life to draw from nature the
inspiration everybody should draw.
Then health and happinesa and peren
nial youth will be possessed a* only a
favored few today posses* them.”
Heartily endorsing my fricud'a view*.
I parted from him. Next evening 1
read in the newspaper* the dispatch an
nouncing the death of America's m«at
famous nature lover. John Burroughs.
And today I would suggest that the
ImM possible memorial to keep John
Burrough* achievrm .*Dta fresh in the
minds and hearts of hi* fellow-citizen*
i would be to give practical applicatioi
to Mr. Kcbmuerbora'a proposal by
founding in high erbuOlß Md • "lb S* ►
John Burrough* professorship* and lec
tureship* iu nature stud).
Assuredly the tendency in uur dm
plex and strenuous lift is to lose touch
with nature and thereby to lose touch
with the higher realties also. Assured-
ly intimate knowledge of natu^ would
do much to a<*uagr the fretfulnes* uf
•»ur nuslern existence and bring peace
to many a soul that now knows no
peace.
God did not give us dawns and *un
set* evening a^ara and morning stars
the blur of noontime skies th** green
<»f zras* and trees the singing uf bird*
without a definite purpose. He did
not give them to be ignored by u* ur
casually taken for granted.
If wo d" ignore them do tske !h< n
for granted so much the worse for u*.
To this truth it i* high time that wc
one and all awake.
John Burrougha memorials of t?.e
type here recommended would contrib-
ute directly and potently to the needed
awakening. By all mean* let us have
many of them amm.
