You may be sure they will learn fast." "We shall have good teachers, hein?" Meridel's slow, sweet smile warmed the old lady's heart. She wanted to embrace Meridel and these little ones, tell them they were safe from the terror now, away forever from fear and hun- ger and hate and misery. "Come on, Bonhomme Fricot," sald little Rosine to Pol Martin. The old lady stared. Meridel laughed, a gay, silvery laugh, "h is a nickname from a game they play.

ISSUE 21-1945 photographs -- Michel as he had been three years before, a few days preceding the time he had said, "Darn it, Tante Mimi, I shall go to France if I want to, 1 shall lead the life I choose, 1 shall be a painter, a poet, a tramp -- any- thing I like; and 1 don't care if I never earn an honest penny. I'm tired of your dictator ways. I won't be regimented any longer. Roger can take it, seemingly, and he's wel- come to it. I'm off." And away he was too, that very night, even though she had risen to magnificent heights of invective, threatenings and pleadings, He should never have a cent of her _ money -- he didn't want it. His brother Roger should have it all, he was welcome to it. He was the most ungrateful of nephews -- he wasn't, but she was the most arro- gant and overbearing of aunts, x x * Madame had flung Michel's pic- ture ing trunk that night and tried fo put him forever out of her heart. She had heard no word of him in the years between, nor had his brother Roger, who was now with the air force; nor had anyone else. If he had gone to France as he'd planned, perhaps they would never kuow what had become of him. Wild young devil anyway; volatile, hot-tempered, reckless and devoid of any fear of self-consciousness. The old lady had set his picture in its chrome frame in her dresser and had taken it up to look at it, holding it close to her, when she 'heard Roger's step on the stairs. She put down the picture hastily, but Roger's dark eyes found it at once, "Forgiven him, Tante Mimi?" "None of your business." She gave him her cheek to kiss. "And why are you sneaking up the back stairs?" BN "You told me té. over the phone -- don't you remember? I'm the housekeeper's nephew mow, What is all this anyway?" * * * "It's Rudolph. He's the Baron Rudi de Morpin. The princess is his niece, He's been letting every- one in this silly little country of his think he owns Philibert and is worth a million. I didn't have the heart to tell these poor, hunted chil- dren that he's only the butler. Ro- ger, it would have bgen cruel to do so. Had you seen them when they first walked into Philibert this evening--" "I can imagine," said Roger slowly. He: sprawled out in an eagy chair, a tall, elegant figure in the uniform of a flight lieutenant, He had been over and back twice, "I'm glad you did it, Tante Mimi, It was like you. I'd never think of such a thing, I'd have made a mess of the situation, You and Mike are the ones who think of the fitting thing to do. I'm glad you've for- given Mike -- it's about time you brought his handsome mug out of the ash_can, He was always your, favourite, wasn't he?" "That ungrateful, headstrong, ir- responsible--" : CE Roger held up his hand. "He's you all over, that's why the two of you were always fighting, But un- derneath it all, Madame Fabre- Lusignan, Mike was' the apple of your eye and you know it. The harder you yelled at him, the loud- er you swore at him, the more you loved him." The old lady scowled fiercely, then blew her nose and grabbed hastily for a cigarette. "You're too b1 smart, you, Roger -- always were -- too darned smart," Roger grinned, shook his head. "I'll never be able to outsmart you, Duchess, Now what about the royal guests?

Percy Knauth says that there are a few anti-Nazis who realize the truth, but they are a tiny minority and in grave danger from the active un- derground movement of the Nazis in the parts of Germany occupied by the 'Allies. But it is not the fa- natical Nazi-so much: as the un- realistic ordinary German citizens who are the danger in future, for they have learned nothing and do not relate the horrors they have been through to the false promises made them by their leaders, re pr -- Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee 1.

Last Thursday we had another 200 arrive by train, And on that day it snowed again, It wasn't cold enough for snow to settle but, what a wet sticky path there was from the house to the chicken pens. Par- tner finally put boards down--anl now I find walking the boards quite a feat in the art of keeping my balance over a creek I would have been frowned long ago. Of course the Jittle chickens inside their warm, dry pen, found little to worry about, but the pullets, now seven weeks old, and without any artifi- 'cial heat, looked as if they regret- ted being hatched out to face such e rJamp, dismal world. * * * However there are. other feath- ered friends Lat we find a little more cheery. To my great joy a pair of bluebirds are nesting near the house," We haven't seen blue birds around here for years, Ani how I love them! Perhaps it is only because of Maeteerlink's story--but I always feel that bluebirds are a good omen--that where there are bluebirds there is happiness. That flash of heavenly blue among the trees often seems to me like a message of courage and hope straight from Gol. * . * *® I wish I liked chickens as well as I like bluebirds. Of course I just love them when they are small --the chickens I mean--but after they are about six'weeks old there are times when I wish I had never seen a chicken. Will they roost If the boards were Cert and where you want them to? Not a bit of it. They will fill up the roosts in the daytime all right, especially when they take their afternoon nap--but they stubbornly avoil anything that looks like a roost at night and bunch up together all over the floor. And if there is one place where they shouldn't be that is where you find them, Children al chickens are very much alike in one way--the younger they are the less- trouble they give, How well I remember my mother say- ing--"I wish you children were all in your cradles again--you were not half the worry to me when you were small that you are now!" "I imagine that feeling will find an echo in a good many other mother hearts, It has done in mine upon occasion, But chickens ani child- ren' come through that stage--and for that we can all be truly thank ful.
