WOMAN'S PAGE, BEDTIME STORIES Chatterer Changes Mind. otimes there are. as you will Somet s wihe (& Shanee Yot mina: —Chatterer the Red Saulrrel. Chatterer the Red Squirrel had taken f into his head to visit the little SWamp at the head of the Smiling Pool He had what is called “the Spring fever” It made him want to wander about. He wasn't looking for anything in particular, but he just couldn’t keep still in one place. So he had taken it into his head to wander down to the little swamp where the Laughing Brook flows into the Smiling Pool. He just CHATTERER LEANED FORWARD AND WATCHED, wanted to know what was going on down there. He wanted 1o know If there were any new Spring arrivals. Part of the time Chatterer traveled on the ground in littie short rushes, always ending close to a tree. Part of the time-he traveled in the treetops. Bo it was that at last he came to a tree close by the nest of Mrs. Quack. A branch of that tree was directly cver he nest. It happened just by chance that Chatterer stopped on that very branch to rest a while. He was tired and he stretched hmself out along ghat branch. Now, Chatterer’s eyes are very bright and he doesn’t miss muchi. As he lay gtretched out on that branch those Mlht eyes of his were watching dewn low. At first he saw nothing at all et interest. Then he caught a slight movement. It wasn't much, but it was & movement. And any movement that #s not made by the wind, or by a drift- shadow—such as a cloud makes— # of immediate interest to the little ml; of the Green Forest and the Meadows. Chatterer leaned forward and watched. Again he saw | that movement and then he saw what had made it. He saw Mrs. Quack half Mden by _the big leaves of a skunk She had turned her head to lnoo some feathers on her back. In- stantly Chatterer understood what it meant. Mrs Quack had a nest hidden there, A nest meant eggs, and Chat- terer is another small person who is interested in eggs. Chatterer’s '.Ill began to twitch. He scrambled to his feet and ran down that tree. From the trunk of the tree Mrs. Quack was quite hidden. There was nothing for it but to go down on the ground. He just must find out if he was right about that nest. If he ‘was, there m'ght be a chance to steal one of those eggs So Chatterer kept OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRI Career for Women. Many times young women write in to ask me what sort of career is open to them and I try to point out the fields that offer service and happiness. Lately it has been impressed upon me that there is a great career open to these young women who can take a good col- lege and professional course, I would have them become general practitioners for children. Country doctors prefer- ably. There is & crying need for such servic not asking for ordinary physi- ians’ diplomas. There are hosts of Whl young men and a few women holding those certificates and practicing MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST. With Cream, Baked Sausage Cakes. Sponge Muffins, Coffee.

BURGESS on down to the gound and then slip- ped underneath those big. broad leaves of the skunk cabbage plants. It didn't take him a minute to find out that he had been right. There, nicely hid- den beneath the big leaves, was Mrs. Quack's nest, and Mrs. Quack was on it. Chatterer couldn't see a single egg, because Mrs. Quack covered them com- pletely. Chatterer’s mouth began to water. How he did wish that Mrs. Quack would | get off that nest. He began to wonder | how he might get her off. But, though he thought and thought, he couldn’t think of any way that he could le@ Mrs. Quack off that nest. She had seen him yet, for he had been vzry quiet. He was back of her now and he began to wonder if he might be able to tear away part of the nest and steal an egg right from under Mrs. Quack. Anyway it would do no harm to try. So Chatterer crept forward inch by inch. He made no sound. Inch by inch he crept until he was right back of the nest. There was a little clump of alders | that the nest backed up against. Chat- terer had crept up behind those alders. Now he reached out a pa pulling at the back of tha the time his mouth watered more and more as he though what a feast one of those eggs would provide. Perhaps thinking of those eggs made him a little careless. Anyway, something hap- pened and it happened with great sud- denness, and right then and there Chatterer changed his mind. He didn't want any eggs. All he wanted was to get away from there. Mrs. Quack had turned suddenly and struck him a hard blow with that stout bill of hers. (Copyright, 1930.) Ham With Pineapple. Put & whole ham into a dish that allows it to be covered with cold water and soak for three hours, then put over the fire in fresh cold water that has added to it one carrot, an onion, several peppercorns, a bay leaf, a handful of cloves, some celery stalks and parsley and one-fourth cupful of molasses. Cook very slowly, so that the water just bubbles, for about 2!z hours. Pull the bone from the end of the ham and al- low the ham to stand in the water in which it was cooled until the next day. After removing the fat, put the ham in a baking dish. Cut some whole slices of Elnelgple in halves cross-wise, making them half the usual thickness; then cover the entire top surface of the ham with these slices, securing them firmly in place with toothpicks. Stick cloves in the openings between the slices and in the round holes and sprin- kle brown sugar over all. Add the pine- apple juice to the pan and a little of the liquid from the boiling. Add a little | maple sirup and from time to time baste with more sirup. Bake in a moderate oven sufficiently hot to brown and | candy the pineapple. Remove to a plat- | tfrk:nd cool before removing the tooth- picks. Cabbage Magnolia. Cut the cabbage in small square blocks, put them in a pot, but don't use any water. Put the pot on the stove with a cover on. Let the cabbage simmer until done. When done, pour in some sweet milk mixed with cream, a plece of butter, a little sugar, t, white pepper, a pinch of baking soda, and a little vinegar. The soda will pre- vent the milk from curdling. Thicken with a little flour water and let boil until it makes a thick cream sauce. Add some egg yolks. right now. I am asking for a-certain quality of service greatly needed by mothers and children. When you take a child who is falling at home and at school to the usual physician and ask him for a thorough examination of this child and offer no list of troublesome symptoms, the doc- tor is at a loss. “But what is the mat- ter with him?” he asks, his tone tinged with impatience. “Oh, he just doesn’t make the grade. | He doesn't eat right, he doesn't play | right, he doesn't get good marks in school. Oh yes, he passes, but he just isn't right.” Say that to the usual phy- sician and he is through with you. His notion is, “Tell me what is the matter with him and I'll tell you what to do with him.” The best you can get in the way of examination is a report on his height and weight, his vision, hearing, heart and lungs. And that is not enough. There is something more. What we want is somebody who knows the characteristics of childhood | with the inner light of the spirit, as well | as the outer light of the medical books. ‘We do not want medicine as much as | we want light. Now, the usual physi- cian is not equipped to shed that light and I am begging for young women who want to do some useful work in the world before establishing their own families to work in this fleld. I want more time spent in the exami- nation and testing, more time spent in following up. It won't do to tell a mother, “This child needs diet. And he ! needs 12 hours’ sleep. Give him two hours of free play. Guard him against fear. Keep him in touch with helpful playmates. Have his tonsils and ade- noids out as soon as you ean. I'd advise the Shick test, and smallpox vaccina- tion. And this Spring vaccination against typhoid. Come again if you think it is necessary.” That is no good. It does not go far enough. What I'm asking for is the physician who has an organization like a clinic. All children born under his care are charted, followed through until maturity. The right service will call up the homes and remind them that such a day is the day for John Thomas to appear for attention. The doctor is to train the home people, fathers and mothers and grandparents in the care of children. Of course, I know that much of this is against the tradition of the doctor's office. I want a new tradition. I want the doctor who will take every little pa- tient as a long-term job and see it through. Most of the medical students I am acquainted with shake their heads. Not for them is this departure. I'm pinnipg my faith on the young women. Mayb® they can see the children’s need and go out to help them. Especially in the country. You find such men as Emerson and Richardson in the cities, | but the smaller towns, nobody. Here is a career for young women. (Copyright, 1930.)

LITTLE SISTER BY RUBY HOLLAND “When I see the Scotchman daddy said stood on a corner wif a loaf of bread watin’ for the jam to go by, I mustn't forget to ast him which corner that wuz.” (Copyright, 1930 | THE DOWNFALL I saw the saddest thing on earth; a man once famed for sterling worth was taken to the pen: there, in surroundings grim and gray, slow, dragging years must pass away, ere he comes out again. This man betrayed a public trust, and that his punishment is just the voters are agreed examples must be made of gents who fall for bribes of 50 cents, or larger ones, indeed. When first con- victed, people cried, “Now ‘we can view our courts with pride, now justice shall prevail; this rascal thought he was im- mune, and didn’t care a shredded prune for threats of law and jail” We all exulted when we heard the law had cinched this erring bird, and given him 10 years; it seemed, in ‘sooth, to vindi- cate the courts and set the statutes straight, we heard the news with cheers. But when I saw the broken man es- corted to a prison van, to journey to disgrace, I felt so sorry for the wight I wrung my hands and wept outright, and brine ran down my face. It is one thing to moralize about the law-up- setting guys whom justice overtakes, to say they're getting what they earned, and smugly hope theyll soon have learned repentance for their breaks. But it's a fearful thing, my friends, to see a big man when he wends from freedom to & cell, to see a genius in a jail—it is the saddest sort of tale that any man can tell. There was a surging crowd of men to see him starting for the pen, a felon, broken, tired, and they had planned to hiss and whoop, so glad to see him in the soup, whom once they had admired. But silence falls upon them all, and no one springs a mocking call when he appears in sight; the pity of it wrings their hear he takes his place, the van departs, his term begins tonight. WA MASON.

C., WEDNESDAY, JDEAR MISS DIX—I am & widow 54 years old. ve been a widow for 18 yufl and have three children unmarried, but all earning their own um' widower of my own age wishes me to marry him. He has & good home llldllll circumstances would secure my future comfort, but he has never had any of his own and I fear that he 'ould find it difficult to get alon R l(y friend has a kind and loving disposition, but not a forgiving nature if crossed or spoken to sharply. I have often noticed stepchildren causing strife and Hrptnm between man and wife and I should not want that to happen if I led this man. Also I would want my home to be my children's homo 8o do you think that I should stay as I am or risk marrying him? A WIDOW. Answer—There are just as few good stepfathers are there are good step- mothers, because men are just as apt to be Jr:llous as women are. A man delights in seeing his wife foolish over his own chil He is perfectly willing for her to sacrifice him to them, but when she is foolish over her first husband's children and sacrifices him to them, it is another story, and one that is told to the tune of strife and bitterness. But your children are all grown, and that alters the situation because in a little while they will all be married and gone. Indeed, they probably would not ‘want to live with the stepfather even now, and it would certainly be best for them never to attempt it. In that way all friction would be avoided. Moreover, being grown and at work there will not be the danger of thelr getting on their step- 'ather’s nerves, as there would be if they were little. ‘Undoubtedly the widow with young children who marries takes a long shot at happiness, but when the children are grown much of the risk is eliminated and sometimes it results in "mlt happiness to all concerned when the children find & real faher in their stepfather. Anyway, Mrs. Widow, you have yourself to consider and you must face the fact that in a very little whfle i'our children will leave you for homes of their own and then you will be left very lonely and homeless urless you take this chance that is offered you of settling yourself in life, and providing yourself with a comfortable living and a companion. THY DIX. R EAR MISS DIX—A short time ago my husband told me that he did not love me before we were married, but that now he has learned to love me dearly. He also said that he was always very jealous of every 1‘ irl he ever went with, but that he has never been jealous of me. Is it possible to learn to love any one after marriage? Is it true love a man feels when he is not jealous? HAPPY. Answer—Certainly it is perfecfiy possible for people to fall in love after they are married. In many cases marriage deepens love and a man and woman re far more devoted to each other on their sliver wedding anniversary than zhev were on their marriage day. But this aerends upon the character of the man and woman, and how unselfishiy and intelligently they try to make a suc- cess of marriage If your husband has fallen in love with you siace marriage, it shows that you are more charming, more interesting, more adaptable and a better sport than he had thought you were. You have a right not only to congratulate your- self, but to feel very sure that you will not lose the affection that you have won. of love. In fact, it is just the opposite, for it is P that one is not truste No woman is jealous of her husband unless she believes that he is likely to her. No man is jealous of his wife unless he thinks that she will be untrue to him if she gets the opportunity. Jealousy is no si Jn The husband and wife who have perfect faith in each other are not suspi- cious of each othe ‘They are not afraid to have each other show other men and women some attention, or to enjoy other men and women's soclety. They are not always thinking evil of each other. So if your husband isn't jealous of you it is because he thinks of you, as was said of another wife as her final tribute of perfection, “the heart of her hus- band doth safely trust in her.” DOROTHY DIX.

Complete Rest. ‘There are times when the housewife feels that nothing short of three months in a sanitarium will prevent her from ainking into a state of premature old T or a complete mental collapse. And 1 she really needs is a single day of complete rest or a readjustment of her duties so that she can regularly take a half hour’s nap :vfl'y rnoon. ‘There are times When the young wife feels that her mafriage is a fizzle and that a separation will be the outcome, when all that is needed to re-establish cordial relations is an evening spent at cards or dancing with a group of other young married people. There are times when the worried housewife feels as if she would have to move into a smaller house or apart- ment or dip into the savings account, when all that is needed is a little sys- | tematic cutting down on the food bills. There are times when the harassed mother feels that she will have to send her son or daughter to a strict boarding school, when all that the child needs is an opportunity to follow out some bent ch he or she has.

As the eyes are the most beautiful and expressive part of the face they should receive the attention that they deserve. For the eye can be lpArklln( and vivacious with radiant health or it can become lusterless and dull, and thus mar the beauty of an otherwise lovely ace. Wrinkles about the eyes form very qmekly. y because the skin there licate; but very often these 'fl.nkles are a result of eyestrain or general health. Every one realizes thl Vllut of exercises for other parts of the body, but a great many fail to consider that eye muscles, too, need ex- ercise, rest and relaxation. Those en- {I(ed in sedentary occupations often eep thelr eyes focused downward for veral hours a day, and so the mus- cles which are intended to move the eye in other directions are sadly neg- lected. In addition to exercise, the eyes need an occasional rest during the day. One dear old lady whose eyes sparkle and shine with youthful enthusiasms, even though her years are fast ap- proaching the fourscore mark, claims that the reason for it is that all her life she has made a practice of exer- cising her eyes regularly and resting them for short intervals frequently during the day. She relaxes her whole body, including her eyes, by closing them for several minutes three times a day, and she exercises her whole body, including her eyes, twice a day, every night and mornln!‘. just as regularly as she brushes her hair and creams her face and eats her well chosen diet. The following exercises and rest pe- riods will do much to keep normal eyes not only beautiful but strong and vig- orous. Several times during the wg close your eyes and keep them cl while counting to 20. Open them and look at a bright light. Again count 20, then close them again and repeat. Do this five or six times. Next focus the eyes on a point as far distant as possible, preferably lomethi.ng green, like a tree or llndnclpe, an hold them there while counting to Change the focus of the eye to a nenr int about the distance of an arm’s length from the eye. Count to 20 ‘Then look at the distant point again and repeat this exercise a half dozen times, focusing the eye first on the distant point and then on the near point. is & splendid exercise to m’lfl.lc' while taking a daily walk or when in the country, where there are the great tall green trees to focus the eyes upo; Next hold the head erect and by rolling the eyeball look first to the left Delicious — New! e « « a luscious cereal with READY TO SERVE H.J.HEINZ COMPANY Children can’t resist this flavor, "so they don't resist these benefits. i and then to the right as far as possible without turning tne head. Move the eyes first to the left and then to the right (oounting one with each move- ment) and untl you have Ilo'l! counted to 10. Opening the eyes wide and then closing them for a few sec- onds is another effective exercise. After the exercizes it is a good to bathe the eyes either with dis water or boric acld or a weak salt- water solution. If not convenient to do this durmf the day, it should not be neglected in the morning or at night. Such simple exercises, together with the cultivation of radiant health, will keep the eyes themselves you and beautiful, so that they will light up the face with an illumination that can- not be counterfeited by local applica- tions. Needless to say, an eye specialist should be consulted if the vision i im- paired. (Copyright, 1930.) — Icebox Cake. Melt four squares of sweet chooolate over hot water.
