The Middle Ground By MARION RUBINCAM

A LETTER Chapter 52 The mother found Amy as Indifferent aa Luther. "Of course, Jane's unhappy," that oung lady remarked, regarding the tip of a very pink and polished nail. "She's in love. Everyone that falls in love is unhappy." Having made this sweeping observation, she attacked the next nail with a buffer, until it came forth as pink and perfect as the other. "That's why I'm not going to fall

in love,' she went on, cheerfully

mixing up philosophy and manicuring. " I'm going to have a hard

enough time without getting my emotions into it. Love is a luxury, and 1

can't afford it. Claire and I agree on that." "But, Amy' the mother began to protest at once. This was a demoralizing point of view! Surely, she herself had been happy in the early days of her married life. And she-was in love then! "Look at Luther," Amy went on, putting away the manicure things and regarding her completed nails with a look of pride. "He's in love with Claire, and Claire won't have anything to do with him. He's miserable. She Is too, for that matter. That's why she is thinking of asking for a divorce, she says it must be a complete .separation " A bombshell dropped into the room would have had less effect upon Mrs. Talbot than thi3 piece of information so casually thrown off by her daughter. Divorce! Another "modern" evil. She opened her mouth to protest,

words of denunciation rushing to her

lips. Then she thought better. She

had determined to make no comment upon anything new, except in agree

ment

Besides, if she diagreed. Amy would

and his devotion, as you call it, is quite touching. At the same time it's wearing. He's just the opposite from Donald. Donald wants complete freedom for himself and the woman too. Whatever love exsist between them is voluntary, not forced besause they are married and tied to each other. I can see his point of view, too. "Luther wants to see Claire all the time. He doesn't even want to look at any other woman and he doesn't want any other man to look at her." "Which way then do you think is best?" It was frankly asked to seek information.

.Neither. Donald's is ideal the-

oretically, but I can't see myself run

ning in the face of public opinion and trying it And I'd hate to be tied up the way Luther wants to tie up Claire, or the way father ties you up. He owns you, just as though you were part of the livestock on the farm. ,'T don't see any way out. But I know in my case the solution is not to fall in love. I'm going to marry zs

a busines proposition." She broke off her talk to go to the door in answer to a ring. It was the postman, with a small package for her, and a letter postmarked "Hornbrook" for , Mrs. Talbot. Amy opened her package with delight, Mrs. Talbot broke open the letter with misgiving. Jordan would not have anything pleasant to say! , Tomorrow Understanding

'When Disarmament Worked By FREDERICK J. HASKIN

WASHINGTON, JAN. 6. That for the-best part of a century Quaker settiers in Pennsylvania conducted an unarmed government' and left their doors unbolted at night "because it is safer," is recalled by Violet Oakley, a famous painter of murals, who has for 19 years been engaged in decorating the walls of the Pennsylvania stat capitol, at Harrisburg, and in the course of her work has delved into the history of the state. The notes of Pennsylvania history from which she gained inspiration for her paintings, she has . placed in a portfolio, beautifully hand printed and illuminated. Color reproductions of her paintings on the capital walls an company the notes. Thi3 valuable portfolio Miss Oakley loaned by request to the library of congress, where it has been displayed. Now she has taken it back to her studio at Philadelphia. It is of especial interest at this time because of the "holy experi

in the divine spark which the Quakers believed is in every man, savvage or Civilized; though Penn believed in oiganized gavernment, laws, reformatories and night watchmen, armed only with constable's sticks. In what is known as Penn's prophecy, he wrote: "ThWe may be room there (in America for such an holy experiment that an example may be set up to the nations and that it ma7 be the seed of a nation, for the nations need a precedent."

The king of England wanted to be rid of Penn so that he would no longer spread his troublesome propaganda of peace and liberty in' England. So when Penn proposed that the king pay a debt owed to Admiral Penn, in Amer

ican land, the king agreed. Before Penn left England, he had an amusing conversation with King Charles. The king asked Penn cur io'usly how he was going to obtain the good will of the Indians. "I will buy their lands,' said Penn. "Buy their lands of them!" cried the king. "Why, man, you have bought them already!" ; "Yes, I know I hae, and at a dear rate, too; but I did it onl to get thy

good will, not that I thought thou

sign of welcome to anyone who might be passing. On one occasion a band of Indians on the warpath stopped at a Quaker home and finding the door unfastened and the Quaker and his wif? standing with smiles and a greeting inside, they retreated quietly. Penn's Arbitration System. Penn settled disputes between white settlers and Indians by a jury of six settlers and six Indians, which proved satisfactbry to all concerned. All through the years, when, the Quaker government was in effect, there is record of only three' Friends being injured in the -conflicts between' the

white men and the Indians. It is re

corded that these three ,a woman and two men lost their faith, and sought the protection of forts and" arms. The Quaker colonists proved equal

to the high standard of peace seeking set by Penn. But outsiders who came

into the settlement brought weaponc and trickery. They had trouble with

the Indians. Penn did not attempt to

limit his peaceful community to Quh

kers and the number of outsiders grew. When there were more of the

outsiders than Quakers, and the ideals

of the Friends were no longer a domi

nant force in the community, the control was turned over to the majority element. Swords and guns came into

general use. The holy experiment was i

over.

.To most of us who remember Wil

liam Penn vaguely as a dignified old man who made friends with the In

dians, it is interesting to recall thai he was one of the most daring and far seeing pioneers of our history. To Benjamin Franklin is generally accorded the honor of. being the first to suggest a union of the American colonies But Penn's writings set forth this proposal then a radical one. Penn is also said to be the first to suggest a parliament of nations. Back in 1693, he described an organization which was to be something like the

national conference, at which men ot j different nations were to gather ti discuss their differences and plan for j

their mutual advantage: It took almost another century, for the colonists to come to the idea of union. Two centuries elapsed before international conferences became popular. It may be longer before Penn's ideal of peace is achieved. That it will be achieved is steadfastly held by those who have faith in Penn as a sage and a prophet.

The interesting fact about Penn's

experiment is that for nearly a century it actually worked. The Quakers established themselves in the land in the belief that the Indians were by nature trusting and friendly, and according to the histories they were justified. The Indians were used to promises of justice from the white men, but they were not used to the promises being kept. 'Penn became known among the Indians as the one white chief who kept faith with the red men. It is recorded that the Indian tribes became so friendly with Penn's settlers that children who were lost m the woods around Philadelphia wero commonly directed to their homes by the Indians. The old story of the latchstring, told in many Quaker chronicles, li illustrated in one of Miss Oakley's mural paintings. The latchstring was

Dear Mrs. Thompson: In our neighborhood there is one child who is badlv sooiled and verv disaereeable.

When she comes to play with my lit-! tie girl she bosses her, breaks herj toys and slaps her. All of the mothers around here feel as I do about' the child. She is never punished by I

her parents and they think everything she does is cute. Do you think I ought to take her in hand and punish her, or should I send her home? If I send her home I am afraid her mother will have it in for me. i like to keep peace with

my neighbors, bhe is older than my own little girl and so you can see it j is difficult for mv -own child to hold her own. WORRIED MOTHER, j You might have a talk with the lit-, tie girls mother and tell her that her!

little girl and yours do not get along, probably because of their difference in age. Say that when there is trouble you are going to separate them Dy sending her home. If she understands ahead of time she probably will Sake what you do in the right spirit. I reallv believe it would be better to

send her home than to punish her. j Rose Bud: The best thing you can.

jo is to go to the Social Service bureau's office on North Eighth street, back of St. Paul's Episcopal church, and explain your family affairs to Miss Clark, the secretary, who may be able to give you proper advice. Unsigned: You did not sign your name, but state that you are 40 years :ld and the mother of five children. Nothing is more distressing than the loss of a husband's love. If you would talk kindly to him, explaining that both of you owe a duty to your children, perllaps he would change his ways.
