which h:id so impressed themselves upon rr.y mind. Lillian didn't interrupt mo with a single que stion until I had finished. Then for revera! minutes later she sat motionless, her chin in her cupped hands. Then she lifted her head, looked at me steadily. "A ghost from the past." she repeated. "Madge, dear, pardon me for raking up unpleasant tilings, but you told me once your mother's unhappy history. Do you know whether that woman for whom your father deserted her is living or dead?" Why Lillian A skit .Madw Tor a MJnute J'!cr1itIoii of TIkj Woman. Lillian's question opened a dark avenue of thought, the gates to which I had resolutely kept closed ever sinco my father's revelation to me of his Identity. Qucerly enough, the odd actions of the woman in the cafe had FUK'pested no connection with my mother's tragedy, although at Lillian's words I wondered at my own blindness. "Of course, that's all!" I exclaimed, then answered my friend's question. "My father told me a Ionp time ago, when he first revealed his identity to me, that he hadn't seen that woman for 20 years, and did not know whether sho were living or dead. It was the only time ho ever referred to her, and I havo no reason to think ho has learned anything about her since, except " Is IjlIIian Kght? "Except for that night In the cafe" Lillian finished the next sentence. "Depend upon it, Madge, that woman is the answer. From what you tell me. the sight of her was a complete surprise and shock to him. Your father is. of course, old. and much reduced in physical strength, mental vigor and power of will from what he used to be, but he's too much a man of tho world to be so unset bv the sitrht of any woman

"No doubt he Is buying her off. the most ridiculous scheme in the world when you consider the power he could wield if he wished it. With his alliliations. Just a word from him of attempted blackmail on her part and she would be landed so deep In Jail that sho couldn't dig her way out in a hundred years. Hut he. no doubt, is so afraid that you might in some way get a hint of her that ho is submitting to any extortion, perhaps even himself proposing to pay her for sllenco and exile from your vicinity." She stopped and looked at me questlonlngly. I nodded my head In confirmation of her words. "I am sure you are riht." I said. "Everything about that incident in tho cafe fits your theory perfectly. For Instance, I bear a etrlkinc resemblanco to my mother at least people have always told me so.

1SY IILLCN .L C11AMI. Many changes üre Impre sive In our day. but none more o than the great change that is taking place in our schools and In our whole attitude toward education. It is a hundred years since Froebel began to labor In the Interest of freer education, but we are only beginning to apply his principles. The interest of children cannct be held if they are taught in a cut and dried way. From early childhood they should be led into joyous activity. At first, only the parents stand by to help and sympathize, later teachers, friends and society assist. The early home influence is of great importance. Comcnius, Froebel and Rousseau studied mothers. They knew that the mother should bo the llr.Tt educator, they emphasized the importance of her sympathy and care, which, though it faltered and halted and fell pitiably short in many p!acs was necessary for right start. Pestolozzl expressed this fact in the words, "Maternal love is tho first aercnt In education." In the ideal school of today we find the children chocsing their own material, directing their own studies, learning indirectly rather than directly, getting their studies linked up with life, looking to tho teacher for guidance, sympathy and help well a for actual instruction. The school should be a sort of miniature world in which tho child is prepared for life in the real world. In a kindergarten worthy of the name tho child moves freely, though in obedience to law.

I want as minute and perfect description of that woman and her escort as you can grve me." A Decision Madex I sat back, closed my eyes for a moment, and summoned from the memory pictures in my brain the vision of the couple in the cafe. I found that I had observed them more closely than I had thought, for little details of their dress and appearance flashed out at me with photographic fidelity. Wben 1 opened my eyes I was ready to give my friend a description which made her nod emphatic approval when I had finished. "If I only had that memory of yours!" sho said enviously, then thoughtfully: "Can you locate the table at which they sat, and describe their waiter, without taking me down there?" "I am sure I can." I answered, and proceeded to describe the section of the big cafe in which we had been seated upon that night. Lillian was familiar with the place, and after a few minutes professed herself satisfied. "I have something to go on now," she said, "and it ought not to take very long to trace tho lady. When I've marked the dotted line leading to her door I'll let you know, and we'll make her a littlo social call. I can summon to mind now at least 57 distinct varieties of conversation I'd like to hand her."

schools of which there are still far too many, he is conüned by a tjort of prison-like rigidity. Tho hatred cf the average child for school is a real misfortune. For the child's natural Instinct is to learn and know, that is why he is always asking questions, questions that we in our arrogance and impatience too often set aside. But the school doesn't always anrwer the child's questions, doesn't always prepare him for life'a work,

metic in the abstract is uninteresting to any child, but having live cents to spend and knowing how to spend it. Is a matter of "practical experience. Tho reason why the kindergarten method of education is superior Is because it teaches tho child through actual experience. As a parent, then, you wisely send your child to kindergarten. Hut you are not equally wiso when, later on you say "Oh, Mary's school Is all righta school's a school anyway!" "We have not all the advantages of schools where sympathy and imagination are used, and we know that most classes are over-crowded and that a teacher gets the best resuits when she works with small groups and In the right envir ment liut wo all assist in moulding the public opinion that shapes the schools and in paying th taxes that underpay teachers for the most important work in the world. And until wo carry the spirit of Froebel riht up from the kindergarten through the grades and hinh school and college, we cannot expect to have the fine flowering tf manhood and womanhood that is potential in our civilization.
