lTOIIIOi'I'0Vl'8 Promise

By 'l'elIIDle Ball?!

For it was of David that the servants behind the hedge has talked, or dear delightful David. whom Anne had known since childhood and who had taken her to her first dance. And now she had been to many dances. and a year ago she had made her bow to Baltimore society and hadn't liked it. she liked much better to be here in the old house in Carroll County, with Vicky and the horses and the dogs and her little silver tabby Jerry.

For Anne, in spite of her nine- teeii years. had never really grown up. it had been, perhaps, because oi Vicky. Vicky had come, a gradu- ate nurse in her white linen to lock after the little girl of HVB whose mother was so bound by tiie demands of the social me about her that she refused to be bound by the demands of her baby. Vicky had been with her since then- fourteen years in which she ha-1 set Anne's little feet on a path which Elinor and Francis ordway had never followed.

Vicky still wore the white of her nurse's calling. but it was white with a. difference. For Anne's par- ents had recoirilzed the value of Vicky's presence. and treated her as one of them. In Vicky burned a clear flame that lighted the house. It lighted, too. Anne's lit- tle torch. The torches of .Fi-ancis Ordway and of Elinor, his wire. were lighted as other and less sacred fires. But Anne must have the best, and so vicky stayed. and while she had dctfed her nurses linen, she wore always M ho”-9 simple and snowy growns of crepe or silk or chiffon.

As for the rest, Vicky had 11 warm brown skin. brown eyes and brown eyes and brown hair. with its own deep -wave Her voice Wvl-' soft and throaty, her soul serene she was all things maternal that Elinor was not, yet no man had sought her in marriage and she was nearly thirty-fve. which would have seemed hopeless in anygother woman. But Vicky did not thlnkvcl it as hopeless. She was young, with the youth of a healthy buoyant mind in a sound body. Life would bring the best it had for her. She uas content to wait.

Francis Ordway took a sheaf of bills from his wallet and counter. them into his rw'iie's hand. There had been 3 time when had not counted. But that had been before Elinor played cards with such avidity.

"is that all?" she asked as he returned the wallet to his pocket.

"it, ought to be more than enough." He smiled.

There was a spark in her eyes- "Oh. well. if it isn't David can carry me."

lg Morning Smile V o.-s-,.a

Once upon a time there were three skunks, a mother skunk and her little son and daughter. The sun's name was Out and the daughter's name was In. Said Mama Skunk to Out. 'in hasn't been out for some time, so -Out, you go out with In and. bring In in with you." so Out took In out and after a short lime out came in without Iii, Ma-ma skunk said in Out, 'Where's In.” and Out re- plied. 'In is still out.' so Mama Skunk said. iOtlt. vou go out and hnd in right aw y and bring In in.' so Out went out and very shortly Out came in wit-ii In and Mama Skunk said. 'Tl1al'S fine. Out. How did you find in so quick- iy?' Out replied iInsti'iicl.'

the hedge on the little hill wcuid be Garry Brooks,

There was really no reason why she should make a niystnry of thc.r meeting. She had l.-iinisn Gari-4-ll all her life. They had played to- gether, swarming up the trees in the orchards. fishing for nlll'lllClAS in the shallow streams. having small but important picnics in the silence of the great pine grove. And what was more, their grand- fathers and great-grandfathers -and grandmoliers and great- grandmothers-had romped over these same acres in the old Mari- land county, The Brooks' estate ildlolhed the Ordway's and their were no fences between.

Indeed, if Garry should come in at that moment with his gay air. his light grace of figure, the whole family would welcome him. Even Vick who had once warned Anne. "Be careful."

"But why. Vicky?"

"1-res falling in love with you.' "well?" "You'll that."

"More than what?"

,But Vicky had refused to ex- plain. "If you don't know. I can':. tell you."

That was a way that Vicky had. She set you to examining yourself and you had to make y ur own decisions. But the more Anne ex- amined herself about Garry, the more she found that was madly; exhilarating. And that was why she was going to meet him in the moonlight. They had been read- ing Endymion in the pine grove and Garry said, "There'll be a moon tonight. Come out and see it with me?" And she had said. "Yes." instinctively she had known that the thing must not be told to an- other soul. It would be beautiful because she and Garry would see the moon alone-together.

She found her way to the little hill after dinner. to add flavor. as it were, to anticipation. she had wanted a foretaste of what would come later. and then the night had been spoiled by those voices be- hind the hedge. But with Garry at hand there -would be nothing to to fear except his importunities which were thrilling.

So she sat smiling beside Vicky. Presently her father would goout and his big car would speed along the lonely road to Baiitmore. Then Vicky and Elinor would read French in Elinor's sitting room up stairs while they waited for David and the Doi-says. And it was while Vicky and minor were readiiie that Anne would meet Garry on the little bill.

with four year old granddaugh- ter we came to town this morn- ing to view the carpet worked by the Queen-Mother on exhibition today in the Confederation Cham- ber of the colonial Building there. -"The Colonial Buildingl", the small one repeated as our way took us over the worn step at its entrance "What is it for? What do they do here? Does it have ii family of its own?" "It's for 8 number of things. dear" we told her. "No, no family lives here but the members who make up the assembly or government of The Island meet here to make laws. But. when you're older you'll learn all about it. We're only go- ing in to see the rug Queen Mary sewed.” she nodded happily and her attention then was takn up by the bands of school-children led by their teachers, bent on a like excursion to ours. "Where did they all come from?" she breath- ed gripping is hand more tightly. g I We had grasped the opportunity dangled briefly before us when we heard one of the farmers say: "Reckoii I had better do that haul- ing from town this iiinriiliig. while you're iinisliiiig the plowing of that field" as we hirrried to the milking.

We left James at the plowing, turning down neatly the spread manure in the field by pond-side. intended for next year's roots. The serenity of the quiet Novem- ber morning was reflected calmly on the water and it was a gentle wind of day we met as we rode out beyond the hill. To see the carpet was to admire it. in the perfection of line. of work and detail. Four hundred soft hues are blended beautifully in flower and fruit in bud and container, in the dozen

panels, which done in yarn, in gross point needle stitches, and joined together make up the

whole. We thought as we regard- ed the piece how infinitely small would appear the first delicate stitches in the pattern and what a vast and far-reaching endea- vour hisd grown out of these to benefit as nothing else could hare

God love her. . . at her asef" "It Just shows what one woman can do. given initiative and courage... and perseverance! Al- most nine years to complete it! I'm sure I should have put it aside as too tedious long before that!” And some of the stitches, doubt. not, would be done with a heavy heart in those dark years of the war, yet it is likely with that innate faith and steadfast purpose which has made her re- s: tcted and beloved to the ends of the Commonwealth. "There it is" we whispered to granddaughter. holding her up to get a closer view to tuck away in her book of mommies "the Quegn.Mothgy Mary made it-every stitch!” "And I thought" she said in a low lone "that it was Prince Charlie's great grandmother. 1 have a great grandmother tool". , , And g grandfather of hers, openly yum. ing. indicates present rest!

I wrote recently of an outstand- ing psycbiatrist. a professor of medicine, who stated that he never called B group of mental symp- toms any single mental disease. but treated the patient for the symptoms present or symptoms that arose during the treatment.

Most physicians work from the standpoint of mental diseases caused by changes in the structure of lhe brain and nerves. and mental diseases due to changes in the behavior of the individual. The physician who treats cases in which the symptoms one due to changes in the structure of the brain and nerves is called a neu- rologist and the physlclln who treats the changes in the bob: for of patients is called I psychiatrist.

when changes in the structure of tissues occur or where there is damage to the brain and nerve tissues, a brain surgeon may be called in to correct the condition. often with gratifying results to both body and brain. It is in cases of such symptoms as deep grief. great depression and unbearable pain that cutting of the nerves supplying certain parts of the brain is done. Also we know that the removal of a clot in a certain portion of the brain has restoced normal movement of the body and restored mental behavior to nor- mal.

What about mental symptoms Iodd behavior) that are not due to

changes in or damage to brain structure? , while we hear the statmient

that we are all b0l'l'l' equal. we know that in one sense this is tnie. but that we are all different in our reactions to the everyday affairs of life, particularly our problems and difficulties.
