In the first instance it was apparent that the parents wished to quell any tendency to brag In their offspring. The method evi- dently discouraged the children and tobbed them of that degree of force or power which leads to success. The second seems to me quite ideal.

I was amazed when I was a girl in my teens when some one told me I had them. Don'’t you think we were brought up to be unaware we had them? If we did anything clever the family used to seem inter- ested and rather surprised as if they had never suspected us of thinking of such a thing.

They must have been amused sometimes at our ques- tions and comments, but they took as muc pains sometimes to put things so we could understand them as if we were as old as they. I never felt that they were condescending to us. They would laugh outright sometimes at what we said and say, ‘Well, that’s an amusing way to look at it.

Fhen we enounter (hines perplexing. o5 vers biten ehd by Yexin BOWSER THE Touxp, Bowser the Hound knows he has been perplexed, which, you know, means being puzzled, very many times; and not a few times he has quite lost his temper over it. He doesn't so much mind being perplexed when it app reasonable, but when a thing s entirely with- out_reason . good natured as he s, he sometimes becomes very much vexed. Now, Farmer Brown’s Boy and HE TURNED THE CORNER OF THE HOUSE WITH A RUSH. Bowser are great chums, as you all know. There's nothing in the world that Bowser delights in more than a tramp over the Green Meadows and through _ the Green Forest with Farmer Brown’s Boy. Farmer Brown's Boy has a certain peculiar whistle with which he calls Bowser when they are about to start on a tramp. When Bowser hears that whistle he knows exactly what it means, and he always fairly trembles with delight. He will leave his dinner any time at the sound of t whistle. So it happened one morning that as Bowser lay lazily napping in his little house he heard that whistle. It ceme from around in front of Farmer Brown’s house. Bowser didn’t nap any longer. No, sir! You should have se>n him seramble to his feet and go bounding around the house, long ears flapping and his tail wagging so that his whole body wagged. His eyes shone with anticipation. He turned the corner of the house with a rush all ready to leap up on his master and tell him how glad he was they wer |going to walk. But when he got around in front of the house there wasn't_any master. There Was no one. You would have laughed to see the expression on Bowser's face. He just didn’t know what to make of it. He sat down for a minute. He sus. pected a joke. He suspected that his master was hiding somewhere near. He gave an impatient little yelp. Then another. Then he decided thai his master must have run around the house. Away went Bowser as fast his legs could take him arcund the house.” He was sure that when he got back of the house he would find Farmer Brown's Boy. But he didn’t He didn’t find anybody. His tall ceased to wag. In fact, it began to droop He didn't know what to make of it all And just then he heard that whistle again around in front of the house. He barked a reply and away he raced When he rounded the corner of the front of the house no one was there, This time he didn’t stop. If his mas ter was playing a trick on him by running around the house he would just catch him. So he didn’t stop, bu kept right on going, running harder than ever. Clear around the house he raced, but not so much as a glimpse of Farmer Brown's Boy did he get. Such a puzzled dog as Bowser the Hound was! Up to this time he had not thought of that wonderful nose of his, Now he did think of it and at once began to run this way and that way with his nose to the ground, hop- ing and expecting to find the scent of Farmer Brown's Boy. But he didn't find it. All the way around the house he ran, and nowhere did he get even 50 much as a Whiff of the scent of Farmer Brown’s Boy. Something was wrong. Bowser sat down in front of the house and looked up at all the windws. His master wasn’t at any of them. Just then he heard that whis- tle again, and this time it was back of the house. Once more Bowser bounded away. He tore around the corner of the house and expected to find Farmer Brown's Boy at the back door. But the back door was cloed Bowser gave one look at it, put hi: tail between his legs and trotted over and into his little house. He was badly upset, was Bowser.

What Tomorrow Means to You BY MARY BLAKE. Pisces. Tomorrow's planetary aspects are very favorable until dusk. They then become rather overcast and uncertain. The signs indicate that artistic ef- forts are apt to benefit most from the sood influences that reign, although there will be apparent in every line of endeavor a spirit of enthusiasm and_optimism which never militates against success. In the evening re- laxation should be indulged in, and it §S most necessary that poise should be established, so as to avold those pit- fally_into which impulse or lack of thought often lead the unwary. A boy born tomorrow will experi- ence very little sickness, and the few minor ailments from which he will suffer will yvield very readily to treat- ment. A girl, on the other hand, will be frail and delicate, but, with regu- lar nutrition, will outgrow her infan- tile disabilities. In character both boy and girl will be rather difficult to manage, but will listen to any ap- peal to their reason. They will not be overdemonstrative and will rather impress those near and dear to them with their callousness. As a matter of fact, they will have loving hearts, but be rather shy at demonstration There is nothing to indicate any ex- ceptional brilliancy, but astrological influences presage for them fair suc- cess.

MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. Hanging Baskets. Ve~ 7 LS One mother savs: The boys had collecied several halves of cocoanut shells and they decided to convert them into hang- ing baskets. Three small holes were made near the edge, at an equal dis- tance apart, through which they ran fine copper wire long enough to sus- pend each half shell. They filled the shells with earth and planted different kinds of flower seeds in h one. ering The whole family enjoys nd watching these plants, which e really quite beautiful as they swing back and forth in the sunlight.

A WOMAN wants to know what one thing above all others causes the ever-increasing number of divorces. No one can answer this question definitely and say that this or that is first ald to divorce. A million different factors of temper and temperament, of creed and caste, of laziness and luxury, of morals and manners enter into the question, and the fighting man and wife who break their marriage bonds have a different personal reason for doing go. Statisticians, however, tell us that the head of the home-wrecking crew is the mother-in-law. % They say that the average young couple gets along well enough together if they can live by themselves. They have their tiffs, of course, but if no one is around to pour ofl on the flames of their anger the man says he is a brute and the girl dissolves in tears and they kiss and make up and no harm is done. But if there is a mother-in-law on the premises to interfere and bid her daughter stand firm or urge a son to show that he is the master of his own house, the spat develops into a fight that ends in love being slain between the husband and wife. Particularly prone is her husband’s mother to get on a nerves and fill her with jealousies and resentments, and so to cause strangement between a young couple that ends in divorce. Another potent cause of divorce is the money question. It is too bad that love's young dream has to be properly financed or else one wakes up from it, but such, alas! { unhappily the case. In the haleyon days of courtship a youth and maiden feel that they can subsist upon bread and cheese and kisses; that they care not where they live, so that they may be together, and that the mantle of romance will suffice them for clothes. They marry on this platform, and to their amaze- ment they discover that love isn't enough, and that you have just the same hankering for the flesh pots u!ler. m.nrr:ug:. as you had before marriage. HEY have the same appetite for caviar, the same desire for a good car and a good house and good clothes. Marriage hasn’t made a cheap brand of tebacco have the flavor of a fine one to the man, nor made the woman prefer 4 $3 hat to a $30 one. And then, unless the man and woman are of the big-souled type who are really capable of the grand passion—und that kind of people are about as rare as white crows—they begin to count the cost of their bargain and to figure out that it isn't worth while and that they were stung. The man begrudges the money it costs to support a family and thinks what a fool he was not to stay single and keep his wad to spend upon himself. The woman becomes bitter and disgruntled and feels that she is nothing but a slave bound to a yokemate whom she comes to hate. Each feels that the other tricked him or her, somehow, into the uncom- fortable position they occupy. The result is that criminations and recrimina- tions fly back and forth continually. Quarrel §s superimposed upon quarrel, and at last comes the day when they can endure their lot no longer and they petition the court to give them back their lost freedom. The emancipation of women has also something to do with the increasing number of divorces. Patient Griselda passed from the face of the earth on the day on which woman got her first good-paying job and found out that she could support herself. In olden times, when a husband meant her one and only chance at a meal ticket, a wife had to endure any treatment that her husband accorded her, no matter how mean and cruel and brutal he was to her. But nowadays, when any able-bodied lady can get out and earn her own bread and butter, and perhaps as much cake as her husband gives her, wives won' beaten and abused. ¥ T T The patient, humble wife who suffered in silence is as extinct as the dodo. The ill-used woman of today doesn't hide her sorrow in her heart. She tells it to the divorce judge and gets alimony. ‘This refusal of women to be tyrannized over and insulted and spoken to as no man would dare to speak to any woman in his employment who could give notice and quit, and to be forced to work without even getting the wages of a servant, is undoubtedly swelling the list of divorce cases, But in the end it will diminish the number of divorces, for men treat women as women d(‘mflnd_ they be treated, and when men find out that the only way to keep a good wife is to be just and kind to her they will conduct lh;mselves accord. ingly and the domestic Nero will :O.lo .join poor Griselda among the shades. 5 H H()\\'l-,‘ ER, T think that the chief cause of divorce is that people do not enter into matrimony in the right spirit. contract with the same sense of its being a binding have to stick to whether it comes up to all their ro: They do not make the marriage contract that they will v hopes of it or not, or whether they like it or not, as they do when they buy a house or go into a business partnership.

DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1926.) Our Children— By Angelo Patri Jimmie, the Squirrel. Jimmie, the squirrel, lives in an old pear tree in the back yard of the house next door. He is the pet of the chil- dren who live in the neighborhood. From window to window he whisks, clattering up and down the fire es- capes, gobblng nuts until his pouches stick out like Santa’s pockets. Just before school time the windows about the square of back yards are lighted up by eager faces watching Jimmie. Each child hopes that this morning he will choose his particular landing and eat breakfast from a well spread table. He's democratic, though. Jach window is visited some time or other, and a peanut is as graciously received as an English walnut or a fat brazil nut. Jimmie belongs to the crowd. I put out my dish of nuts with the rest and 1 watch just as eagerly as the boy across the way to see which way Jimmie is heading as he drops off the old pear tree. This morning it is my turn ¢o play host and he sits nibbling filberts and waving his_tail, while I ask him if he likes New York better than the country. He says he does. And then we talked about his great-grandfather. I knew him well. In those days it was quite the thing to capture a gray squirrel and put him in a cage and provide him with a revolving wheel, in which he raced endless miles until he sank down, fa- tigued beyvond motion, heartsick with longing for the treetops and the chase, the fun of gathering nuts and losing them against the day when they might be needed, and miraculously discovered in the nick of time. “Yes,” said I, “I knew him well. I got myself in_trouble for opening the cage door and letting him go. I had missed in geography. I had been watching your great-grandfather ly- ing in his cage, his eyes big with long- ing for the woods, and hadn't heard the question. So I had to stay in. Not to study, not to recite the ques. tion I missed, but to stay in. I could hear the boys outside playing ball. I sat with folded arms and waited. The clock and your great-grandfather and I in the silent room. The teacher had gone out to talk to somebody down the hall. The sun streamed into the room and the boys cheered for a home run. I looked again at the cage and then at the open win- dow. I got up and peeked out. N body in sight. Now was the time for desperate deeds and daring men. “I slipped over to the cage and popped your astonished great-grand- father into my pocket, and down the stairs I went, without even the grace of a hat. Straight home I raced and into the back yard, where I remem- bered having seen an old black felt hat. I put greatgrandfatehr in the hat and set him on the fire escape. Nobody told. We fed him like a prince and he grew sleek and strong. In the Spring we went to the park. Now you are here sitting on my fire escape. Lucky boy. There are no more squirrel cages.” “‘Cages? What are cages?” asked Jimmie. “‘Oh, something we don’t have any more.” Children don’t like squirrels in cages. They're better in old pear trees and climbing fire escapes.” “Chip, chee,” says Jimmie, Married by a Woman. To be married by a woman has be- come a fad in London among young couples seeking novelty in the cere- mony. This has been made possible by the appointment of Miss Dorothy Uft, aged 25, as a deputy in the mar- riage registry bureau. TIMOLOT O=={UMUN==2 Non £oi13onou [Banish the Freckles | with Mercolized Wax | Some women have skin of such texture they occasionally are an- noyed by the sudden appearance of freckles, slight eruptions or fine lines. March winds usually play havoc with such skins. If one will procure an ounce of Merco- lized Wax at any drug store, ap- ply a little before retiring, like cold cream, the trouble can easily be overcome. When the wax is washed off next morning, almost invisible flaky skin particles come with it. The entire outer cuticle soon is removed in this way, with all its defects. No bleach could so effectually remove freckles, pimples or other blemishes. The new surface is smooth, clear, fresh looking. No harm or inconvenience results from_this simple treatment.

It seems to appeal strongly to the Russian women, whose hair has become thin and sparse through frequent dyeing, un- dernourishment and general fmpov- erishment of health. Although the shingle probably will never be as popular as the bob, it is extending even to the elderly women. Women Like The easy-disposal feature of this new hygienic help —no laundry, just discard N a new way, women now arc freed of the disadvantages of old-time “sanitary pads.” Protec- tion is greater. The old embarrass- ment of disposal and laundry is avoided. Get Kotex—8 in 10 betterclass ‘women have adopted it. / Discards as easily as a piece of tissue. No laundry. Noembar- rassment.

The Truth at Last. And then suddenly, while she v in’ his arms held close against him, Rosalind remembered Isabel. Instant- ly she became rigid, and, surprised, he loosened his clasp of her. “What is it?” “That woman who came to your of- fice this afternoon, I— she fal- tered miserably, “you kissed her. I thought you cared for her He interrupted laughingly. “That was why I came here to- night. There was something in your expression this afternoon that I thought might be jealousy.

By the way, you haven't told me that you care, you haven't said you love me.” e drew her back into his arms. “I want to hear you say it,” he whis- pered against her hair. “I adore you,” she murmured. “All T want is & chance to prove it to you." For a long moment she clung to_him, ind then half shyly she drew back abel 7 she asked. He laughed. “Isabel Anderson is : cousin of mine. 1 have always been very fond of her, although she is frightfully spoiled.” She lives in Chi- cago, and has come on to New York to consult me about getting a divorce from her husband. I took her out this afternoon to try to persuade her against it. I think she'll go back to him.” Rosalind drew a long breath. “Does that satisfy you?” he said, teasingly. She nodded, but as he looked at her the half smile faded from her face, she grew suddenly serious. “I have something to tell you. To- night when I came home I was so jealous, so hurt, that I did a foolish thing. I called up Nicky Blake and made an engagement to go out with him. You remember him: he came to our table that night; he had been drinking and you sent him awa ““Yes, 1 remember him,” Allen said quickly. “You were with him a great deal.

I thought that cky would be better than the dull routine of working in an office all my life, and the thought that you loved some one else was intolerable. I wanted to forget it if I could. Then T was sorgy T had called him. I was on the point of calling him back and telling him not to come, when the bell rang. When T went to the door T thought he had arrived. When I saw you, I simply couldn’t believe it.” Again there was a silence between them, but after a long moment Allen spoke. “When are you going to mar- ry me?” “I don’t know,” she faltered. “I do,” he sald evenly. “We'll be married tomorrow “Oh, but that “Tomorrow, impossible, T— he repeated, “an after all, why should we wait? I've whited long enough as it is. I want to carry you off somewhere and have jou to myself. We'll go to Europe.” Rosalind gasped out the word as though she couldn't believe her ears. “Yes, Europe. I want to give you the things vou've always wanted so much. Besides, you need some one to look out for you, some one to keep you in hand, and I believe I can do it.”” At that moment the telephone echoed through the apartment. (Copyright. 1926.)

Then the existence of vitamins was discovered and the reasons became clear. For one thing, some oils were naturally richer in vitamins than others. Then, too, vitamins of even the best oil were often greatly reduced in the process of preparing and transporting it. And, since cod-liver oil has little therapeutic value aside from its vitamins, these facts formed a prob- lem of the first importance. With characteristic conscientiousness the lab- oratories of E. R. Squibb & Sons set about finding a solution. They did two things. They tested all oil for its vitamin potency, and unless it was high enough they rejected it. Then they developed a process of refining and packaging the oil which insured the retention of its vitamins. This process, together with the methods of puri- fying and refining used, has an additional virtue —it makes the oil much more palatable. Millions have benefited by the discovery of this process. For it is now possible to get a cod-liver oil which has had its vitamin potency tested and protected. And this oil is, moreover, astonishingly rich in vitamins. It is best, therefore, to insist upon Squibb’s Cod-Liver Oil. Then you will be sure of what you are getting, always. At drug stores everywhere. No. 100—Light weight, pure silk, full fashioned.
