John I). Rockefeller, Jr., has asked the newspaper photographers not to take photographs of his four children. "I don't want them spoiled." he said. "There's no earthly reason why their pictures should be in the papers; hut if they see them there they'll begin to think that they amount to a good deal more than they really do. "My wife and t are trying very hard to keep our children from being spoiled, and It Isn't the easiest job in th world. I wish you newspaper people would help us out bv letting them severely alone." Sensible man. I hope the papers will lister, to what young Mr. Rockefeller says, and do all they can to help him keep h! children from being spoiled. Who's at Fault? A natural child is the loveliest thing in the world. I'd rather spend the day with a chubby little rascal of a mischievous boy and u delicate- little sprite of a girl, and tell them stories and make cookies for them and go out for a

walk and find n runaway .stream and fellow it home, and get rrry feet wet and my shoes muddy and get

back Just at dark with my arm full of pussy willows and the backache nnd a tear in my dress and a song in my heart ami youth for company, than to go to the smartest reception, or the fine?t play, or the most magnificent opera in the world. That is. if the children are natural unspoiled, unaffected, real children. Hnd not little peevish, fretful, vain, fussy Imitations of the grown folks they kr.vv. I'd rather spend an hour in the dntit' chair, stand up all day at the dressmaker's and be fitted to th mst unbecoming dress In the world, shop from t in the morning till Ö at nirtht to match a skein of wool for ohl Aunt Hannah. read Tennyson' poems to a deaf man. explain a problem in geometry to a dunce, cook a decent meal on a smoky oil stove, eat something I hate and pretend to like it. listen to a soprano singing a French rhanf.o off the key, or do anything eine r. earth that I hate from the bottom of my heart, than to spend one single hour in the company of a poor, little, spoiled child. Oh. yes. I'm -sorry for spoiled children, but that doesn't make me Ilk them. I don't like their parents, eithfr

and I'm not in the least sorry for them. It's all their own fault when their children aro spoiled unless It'3 grandma who's to blame. Grandmothers sro great spoilers haven't you noticed that bless their hearts, you can't really blame, them. They have all the fun and none of the bother, when it comes to spoiling children. I know a woman who has a beautiful little boy. rosy, blue eyes, chubby, a regular cherub. You can't see him without wanting to hug him. You can't look at him without being crazy to run out and buy him some candy or something. He's intelligent, too, and naturally good natured. But when you've teen in the room with him for about 20 minutes von can't hear a word hU

mother Is trying to say, you're so busy planning how on earth you're going to get rid of him and what you'd do with him if he was yours. (mh1 and Rad. This woman thinks she's a good mother. I think she's a very bad one. And some day. when her son i (dd enough to go to school and has to fight his way through every class, jus bt cause his mother has made him a wilful, conceited, egotistical, little prig, I'm afraid he'll think she's not a very good mother, either. What a shame it is to take the sweetest, loveliest, finest thing there

is on eartn tne nnrm ami neari anu soul and body of a li'.'le child ami turn it into something disagreeable and unpleasant, just because you are too indolent to care o- too stupid to know what you are doing. Here's to all good mothers who ha e sense enough to keep their children good. (Copyright. 1020.)

I felt as fluttered as a schoolgirl a.?. I went to my room to dress for Dicky's return, of which I felt assured, although I only had the arrival of the big box for Junior as my warrant But I would allow no shadow of doubt to cloud my anticipation, and I hummed a little tune as I hurried through my dressing. Sometimes I hesitate over th choice of a gown, fearing the one I have chosen first may not be quite suited to the occasion for which I am donning it. But today there was no hesitancy. The very, frilllest. tlutfiest, prettiest one I possessed was none too good for the homecoming of my husband. I took down from its padded hanger and its white wrappings a gauzy, floating, fragile gown of robin's egg blue and cream. When I had fastened lU last snap, and remembering one of the things Dicky liked had tucked a rose at

the side of my coiffure, I went down the stairs in search of my small son. For I mi ant my husband to find us in the garden, ihat wonderful group of rose buj.aes which we together had pruned and trained as much as such a neglected tangle could be trained. Now it was a fragrant wilderness of blossoms, and it called to me insistently. Somehow I felt that Dicky could not remain angry at me In such a

setting. My mother-in-law was pushing Junior up and down the screened side veranda when I came there in search of him. "Well!" she ejaculated, openmouthed, when she caught sight of my costume. I knew as well as if she had spoken her thoughts aloud that her first ., impulse was to give utterance to a caustic criticism of the unsuitableness of my gown. Rut her anxiety for a reconciliation between Dicky and me gave her comprehension. I think, of my motives in donning it, for after a moment's silence she said in kindly accents: "You look very nice indeed, Margaret. Do you want Richard Second now?" "Yes. if you please, mother." I returned. "1 am going out into the garden to gather some roses for the rose bowl in the. living room I tilled everything but that and as there is nothing to do here, I thought I would sit out there a little while with Jun Richard Second." An ironical smile flitted across my mother-in-law's face at my substitution of her name for the baby instead of our own. Rut that It pleased her I was sure ad I heard

assent to my

stay as

said heartily

I will

plan:

you

"When tell him

her cordial "Surely, like," she

Richard comes

where you are." With a sudden impulse I kissed her warmly as I took th3 perambulator from her hands. "Thank you, mother, for everything." I whispered. She patted my cheek, one of her rare caresses, and uttered one of her rarer exprepsions of approval as she fairly pushed me toward the door: "You are a good girl. Margaret, a good wife and a good d.'ighter. Now run along and gather your roses-." When I finally found myself upon a rustic seat in the rose gar

den with Junior beating the air in baby ecstasy. I 1ft It myself trembling with the fear that even if Dicky did come home he might not be ready to "make up" in the royal fashion which generally characterizes the erid of one of his tantrums. After all, I reasoned, it is for the baby's first birthday, not for me. that lie is coming home. Suppose, facing the alternative of remaining away from his little son's first anniversary, or taking back the ultimatum he had given ino, he has decided upon the middle course of coming home, treating me with outward courtesy, but still preserving the grievance against me which he thought he had. The sound of a train whistle brought me to my feet in sudden excitement. If Dicky came home he would in all probability b upon this train. Of a sudden I felt foolishly panic-stricken, ready to run and hide at the f.rst sound that should herald his approach. Because of the war which took them both away. Dicky and Alfred Durkee have never been able to carry out the elaborate plans they had made for the beautifying of the tangled bit of wilderness which

surrounds the small lake at the foot of the gardens. Rut with Jim's aid they have cleared away some of the underbrush, thrown a footbridge across the brook, and built a tiny rustic summer house under a big elm on the other side. Lifting Junior in my arms I hurried across the bridge and into the summer house, where the vines successfully screened me from observation. There was method in my seeming madness. It was a favorite retreat for Dicky and me. If he sought me there, instead of waiting until I came into the house and meeting me casually before others. I should know that he was again my royal lover.

By nrciii'ss or vi:stminsti:r. Written for International News Sen lee. With present-day tremendous advances in all careers for women we tend to lose sight of the Tact that, no matter in what class sh is born. the woman's rightful place is her

home, and her first concern her

children. Women today are very near th

complete freedom in civic, commercial and public life whieh some

have striven so many years to at

tain. Rut while we applaud and

admire women lawyers', merchants, mayoresses .and doctors, let us remember that the greatest of all carters is that of the mother. Unapplauded. often unnoticed, sometimes pitied by her more brilliant sisters, she goes quietly on with her wonderful task. Out in France I used to rejoice in tho fact that the world would never be the same again. I felt that out of the agony and struggle, the suffering and the fine endurance, the defeats and the triumphs, a new order of things was being created. Many of us were Foothed by the hope that new men and new women would have a desire for a sweeter and tiner world, free from the hate and destruction of war; one in which the blue sky. the trees and the flowers and birds, and the etralghtness and cleanness of one's thoughts and lives would have more Influence than the artificiality and craving for excitement which existed before and during the war. Alas, that artificiality and craving exists still Our present state reminds me very much of the French saying an old governess of mine used to quote: "Each for himself and the good God for all." I am afraid only the first half of the phrase applies. A home, even a cottage, is a great Joy. It is the one thing to which we look back all our lives, remembering the carefree days of our childhood. Often we think of home as the one really sweet and beautiful thing in the world. It is not the wives of workingmen, but th,e men folk who are the restless spirits these days. The good old days of our country villages will, I am afraid, soon ra away If the men continue to move about as they now do in search of better rmnloyment. Surely, if they look ahead they can see that their little cottages and own gardens are better than anything the big towns

; of workshops and factories can give them. : In even the poorest of these cott tages the sweetness and joy of j home life is surely a blessing to a ; j child. And is it not the brave lit- ; tic mother who makes the home?:

the nation, and that it m to them th;it we should turn with laurels.

The women of the richer classes !

are generally just as much mothers

at heart as the n others of the noor.

though they are not called upon to

exert as much physical enercrv In

the care of their children. When the mother of the cook's son and the mother of the earl came to the hospital in France to hold their dear ones close as thoush to defy death itself, tho.e women were one in heart and spirit. One hopes that in time Britain will be a healthy, happy place for all mothers and children, whether rich or poor, where children will have gardens to play In, enough wholesome food, and. best of all, the care of their own mothers. Let us not forget the mothers.

REIT ARD OF SMILIKG ADMIRERS BORES HIM

KANSAS CITY. July 31. A country club car was about to start south from a station near Petticoat lane. A middle aged woman decided to board it and the race was close. "July, you dropped your money," a passing truck driver thouteri. p.issengers craned their necks and saw the bill in the street as the car started. "It's a ten," mumbled tne most recent rassenger. A boy crawled through a car window, landed feet first, ran back, got the bill and pursued the car. The car gained speed. o did the boy. Passengers shouted and the niotorman 'slowed down." The boy caught the car. He- returned the bill, blushed and sat down before the thankful woman could express her thanks. The reward? Men passengers smiled at him, older women beamed on him and younger women smiled and nodded approval. Two blocks passed. The adulation was boresome. "Aw shucks." tho 13-year-old hero said as he swung off the hack end of the car to the privacy of crowded stretus In the shopping center.
