"I think our life could be the most won derful life any couple ever lived but I don't yet see exactly how we're going to get around the things that stand between us." Marian was calm, with an Inner security that Eddie could not yet feel. . "It's all so plain to me," she said, nestling closer to him, and pressing his hand. "The outside things other people don't mat ter. It would bp too cruel if it did! The whole world is right In our hearts and that is the an swer to everything." He shook his head. Her view point was entirely feminine, but, being the male, be lacked her fine intuition, and felt the harsh nec essities of their adjustment to ex ternal life".

"I can't help worrying because I'm so anxious for everything to be set right," he responded.And the worst of it is that I'm so dumb It looks pretty nearly hopeless." (To be continued tomorrow.)

So with my eyes and his nose, to one can catch us." I ; Just then a strange thing hap pened. .Knarf, who finally made out what the words meant which was exactly what the others had learnt already' determined to GOOD-NIGHT STORIES By Uu TrtU a The Shadow-Children Learn Why the Ostrich and Zebra Are Friends After their first visit inside' the Natural History book, Mlj. Flor. Hanld, Yam and Knarf the five turned-abont names were eager to go again.. To. go inside the book meant just that and nothins else. : They gare J spring, and whis-et, they were inside. Shadow-children, you see, are not at all like real-children, who must be, satisfied with merely looking inside a book. - Well, one evening they found the Natural History book; lying open on the library table. On one side was a page full-of print ed words and on the opposite side was a large picture. They stood on the bottom margin and peered i elosely at the picture, which show-' ed a zebra and an ostrich stand-: ing together in a sunny ineadovt : near a forest The zebra seemed to be sniffing, while his ostrich ; friend held its head up as though ; it suspected someone - were com- i He ileo:deI to le&p upon the ze- flome-Malrirtg Helps p By ELEANOR BOSS 'ffT' If- : They Stood on the Margin. ing and was. trying to see just whv it was. - Now, the more the shadow-children looked at this . picture, the more odd did It seem to be. Why should a zebra, which is a sort of striped , donkey, be on the - same picture with an ostrich, which is a bird? "We'd better go . right Inside the picture ' and ask them our selves,". Flor said. . All agreed that was sensible, except Knarf... "I'm going to stay right here nntil I read it all!" he said. ' So they left him to pore Over the long words while they all held hands and sprang Into the picture. At first the zebra and the ostrich were greatly frightened. When they saw. however, that the shadow-children did not mean to harm them, they let them approach. bra's back before either of. them saw or Mnelt him coming; He slipped through the corner of the picture and crept stealthily along the ground, half-hidden in the tall grass. As - you - well kw, a shadow has no scent The zebra, there-, fore did not sniff him, while the ostrict, though it saw a moving shadow plainly enough, paid no attention to it. "Yes," the zebra was saying, "no one can come here without our. knowing it" when all at once Knarf, with a wild shout, leaped upon the zebra's back. "I fooled you! I fooled you!" he cried. , His Joy was short-lived. The zebra whirled around in fright kicking up with its hind legs and dashing up and down. As for the The Assertive Mantel . . Not even a grand piano domin ates a, room more than' that nar row horizontal slab known as a mantel.' It's usually in the mid dle of the, room, also it projects conspicuously half way up a wall and it is generally the repository of some. choice decorative pieces. For all of which reasons the man tel catches the eye as soon as one enters the room, and it can beau tify or uglify the place. ... Why is a mantel, anway? Like ! many objects now regarded s decorative, it probably had purely : utilitarian origins. It began as a Uhelf, conveniently stuck over the fireplace, so as to keep lighter candlesticks within easy reach. Also it was comfortable "place for- suspending saucepans, ladles and other cooking equipment When you see such mantels now spread across . the generous ex i panss of a farmhouse fireplace it lis charming even. "though .its f homey quality is now gilded with j the label "antique." , " ' V Today-mantels are fashionable or decorative reasons and they ; come in all . sorts of materials ' wjod, tile,"brick, marble,-chastely ' simple or elaborately carved. But the old-fashioned mantel which is : In the room because it serves a definite purpose is still the most charming of the lot Occasionally a young housekeep er moving into a new apartment is puzzled about the conspicuous mantel in the living room.. What shaU bo done with it? How is it to be treated? To begin with, has it any use? Curiously enough, one often finds a mantel In a living-room Which does not boast a fireplace. It may ostrich, it pranced around equally excited, finally snapping up the unfortunate shadow-boy in its beak and with a furious toss of its head, flinging him clear out of the page. The other shadow - children found him lying half in an ink well. "I fooled them anyway," he kept saying. Just have happened there because of a builder's fancy, or it may be en BVS V V - - n wr- - v- lod. There was a time not so very, long ago when people got the idea that a fireplace was fussy and old fashioned and so they bricked-it . iil - a n - up or covered . it who i neui shield. (Many farmhouses actu ally put in parlor stoves which were regarded. as more elegant at ease, the cheery fireplace was sup pressed, but- the mantel remain That left it without any purpose,: and: so gradually it took on the functions -of -whatnoC- A ' vase with" flowers,1' m clock, a candle--slick or :ito;tjfotne; finer bits ot china reposed on the mantel. ' And that's aTl " that . can" very well be done. -with a mantel that doesn't tower bVer a fireplace. For which reason the best thing to do with a mantel occasionally is to remove it. When . it serves no-, real purpose it actually is a.wastev. ofpace. : For it cuts into a wall breaking up space as much as a doorway If not more.; And the fine decorative pieces can usually te displayed Just as effectiTelyJn other parts of the room on a low table, atop a bookcase and soi One decorator who found an unremovable mantel in a small living room camouflaged - It be cause he couldn't do anything else with it The owner was a book ish person and bookshelves were' the largest part of the furnish-, ings. .The decorator finding that the mantel cut into the wall space' so largely that it interfered , with the placing . of ..bookcases, shifted his plans. He made the mantel the nucleus, had skyscraper mod ernistic bookshelves bufit . under, over and on both sides of the mantel with the usjial Tarying heights, of course, to prerent mo notony of design. Shelves and? mantel were finally, stained the same color, so that the mantel vanished "from the eye though it still remained on the premises. Incidentally, a mantel is as in tegral a part of a room, as a rule-, as the walls, and It must be made to blend.
