He was thinking about Jumper and wondering if Hooty the Owl had caught him. Imagine his surprise when he discovered Jumper sitting just where he had been when Hooty appeared. “Didn't Hooty come over here after all?” Stumpy inquired. “Oh, yés” replied Jumper. “He flew right over your tussock there and glared down at it. It is lucky for you that you were not there.” " were you?” persisted Stumpy, ng. gron ‘Right here,” replied Jumper. “Didn’t you run?” demanded Stumpy in amazement. “If T had run I wouldn’t be here,” replied Jumper dryly. “The safest thing for me to was to sit perfectly still, which I did. I could just feel Hooty looking right through me. That is what he did, yet didn't see me. It seemed as if I must run, but I had sense enough not to.’ So he flew away “Who isn’t afraid?”’ demanded Jumper. “Why, you were-not when Hooty the Owl came overe here. You've just said that all you had to do was to sit per- fectly still,” replied Stumpy. “True, that is all I had to do, but don’t think that was easy,” replied Jumper. “I never was more scared in all my life. I wished that I could jump into the water the way you did and thus Stumpy, “when all is white like this I can be seen for a long distance. It isn’t safe for me to move more than.a jump or two from open water. You—why, you can go where you please and disappear Jjust by sitting still. I wish I had a white coat.” Jumper slowly shook his head. “No You only think you do,” . “You are filled with envy, and I know of nothing more foolish than envy. You are young and you have much to learn about the Great World.” “Just the same, I wish I had a white, coat,” persisted Stumpy. H (Copyright. 1930.)

NANCY PAGE’ “What Are Young Folks Coming To?” BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. “What can one give a baby of 6 months or thereabouts?” This question brought the furrows to Nancy's fore- head.® Here was Lois’ infant dayghter, just about 6 months old. She had been so well dowered and showered before she arrived and just after she came that Lois had piles and piles of unused fts. flln talking with Lois Nancy found that bootees were in good favor. Even though Ann had received “scads” of them, she could use a few more pair before she discarded them for little kid boots or shoes. A warm bonnet might come in handy, thought Nancy as she saw Joan hang- ing over the baby when she met Lof on the daily outing. And then Nancy had an inspiration. Money was not any too plentiful in the Miller home. Lois and Roger was stay- ing home many an evening because they could not afford to pay & nurse or school-girl to come on for the night. Why not present Baby Ann with a check which the baby could give to her father and mother? And the check was to be given with a card like this: “Dear father and mother, I wish you would take a night out occasionally. I'll take my turn later—you go now.” Millers would certainly get amuse- ment out of that gift, uized Nancy. And truly, the Page gift did stand out among the multitude of bids, slip-over sweaters, .calico ani- mals, rag dolls, balls, mugs and por- rhlu:;s that their young daughter re- ceived. Lois appreciated a teething ring, for Ann was drooling at the mouth and showing signs of the irritability that | accompanies the coming of teeth. Washable toys and those colored with vegetable dyes are best for little babies, as you know, so Lois rejoiced over any such that Ann received. SUB ROSA BY VIRGINIA VANE. + Gold-Diggers. “Dear Wirginia Vane: T'm in love with a gold-digger. I feel that I ought .to fall out of love with her as soon as possible, but I haven't been able to do 50 yet. In the meantime we fight all the time. She says she loves me, but I know she can't: In the first place, if she really loved me she would want to help me save money for our future home. Instead, she wants to night clubs and theater parties, etc. Also, if she loved me she'd want to be alone with me. But she's always insist- ing on inviting a crowd in and having parties. “She seems to be terribly happy about our ent, yet she gives unmis- takable that she doesn't care in the right way. What can I do about a girl like this? I should add that she is a good cook and housewife, that before she met me she lived a very quiet, re- tired life and that she is generally known as a very quiet type of girl. Yet she seems to think of nothing but hav- ing me spend money on her and take her to places of entertainment.—JACK.” Don't be too hard on the girl, Jack. Oldér people have a way of making gen- eralizations once in a while which make & deep impression on the young folks— and you've probably heard from some one that if a girl really loves you she wants first of all to help you save money. Also that she is dying to settle down immediately her engagement is announced. - This isn't always true. There are R‘l‘en!y of girls who fall in love just as rd as any one else who do not lose their taste for the giddy pleasures of youth immediately. In fact, very often their new happiness lends enchantment to the ordinary round of social pleas- ures and lmgell them to go on cele- brating the big event almost continu- ously. - MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN.

EAR MISS DIX—I am a married woman with five children, the youngest 4 years old. I do all of my housework and take care of my children. My only enjoyment is going once a week to the movies, but my husband thinks that a married woman should not go to a movie even once a week, that she should stay at home all of the time and take right, he or I? care of the children. Which of us is A STEADY READER. Answer—You are, and if you take my advice you will keep on going to your movies no matter what your husband says. You -will be a better wife, a better housekeeper and a better mother for having a little break in the dull and ‘monotonous life of a housewife. Of course, a woman's place is in the home. So is the man’s place in his office or shop, but nobody thinks that he ought to be nailed to his job 24 hours a day and never get away from it. On the contrary, everybody recognizes that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy and that if a man is to do good and efficient work he must be able to put it aside for a certain number of hours a day. He must have amusement. channels. Otherwise he grows stale. He must have his thoughts turned in new He loses his interest and his enthusiasm and becomes a mere drudge, performing mechanically a task, instead of a man who is putting his head and his heart.in his life work. Precisely the same thing hnpgens with a woman. Her job is keeping house and rearing a family, but if she to do the same round of duties day after day and year after year, with no change or break in them and nothing new to think about, they grow unbearable, no matter ho’ much she loves her home nor v' devoted she is to her husband and children So far from husbands objecting to their wives going out of their homes for a little diversion they should force them to go if necessary and urge them to take up some outside interest. Nine times out of ten when a woman slacks off in her housekeeping and slaps down any sort of a meal, in any sort of a way, on the table when she gets peevish and fretful and fault-finding and scolds at the children, it merely means that she is fed up on domesticity ard bored to tears and only needs a little change to bring her back to normalcy. If men devoted the slightest thought to why their wives do things, they would know that the reason wives nag is because they have so little to think about that they harp on the same subject and make mountains out of mole hills. They would know that wives are discontented because they only see their own lives and their own troubles and don’t know what other people have to suffer and that the reason they are dull is because they never see new things or get new ideas and their only conversation is with the children. So, if husbands are wise, they see to it that their wives get change and amusement and have somethmg to think about while they are washing dishes and darning socks, something that takes their minds off their own troubles and off their husbands’ shortcomings.

If the shrubbery and boughs have to be bought, the cost between the nov- elty tree and a regulation one would be approximately the same, but the tree would have the advantage of being, “different,” and also require none of the ornaments to be bought or pains- takingly hung to give the tree its fes- tive look. 1In itself the novelty tree would be gay. Electric Christmas can- dles could light it, if desired. Other Christmas greens and natural growing berries, pods, etc., can be arranged to simulate a tree if those named are not available in any section of a country. A Christmas belfry can be made by twining two tall standard (piano or reading) lamps with ground pine and holly and placing them a short distance apart. Have the lighting elements turned toward the center if reading lamps are used. From the center up- rights run a stout bent wire and twine it also with ground pine.

Any person is old, irrespective of his age, when he cannot accept new ideas, all of which only means that old ways of thinking are more comfortable, and therefore the thinker refuses to bother with anything which upsets his preconceived ideas. It is refreshing to find a grandmother interested in our department, and there is a chance of real argument in what she says. “Although I am an old woman, I am greatly interested in the subject of child training, and I have found your articles unusually good,” says Mrs. L. R. H. “One of the recent ones I feel like questioning. I want to tell you how I worked with my own children in training for unselfishness. “I agree with you when you say ‘the child takes what he wants when he wants it and without much feeling about it The second stage comes from with- out, either through the hard school of life or through wise training in the home. It is the recognition of the rights of others, the difference between mine and thine. The question is how to go about this training. We all take the first step without much thought— 'baby’s ball.” The second step—‘daddy’s pipe,;’ ‘mother’s watch. Then follows an exchenge of objects belonging to baby and the family. If baby must be g:al;d some object, another is substi- “Bring him up in an atmosphere of give and take, happiness and courtesy, | and he will respond quickly. Do not | give him fulsome praise for generous gestures, as it is apt to lead to self- consciousness; and do not be too se- vere for occasional lapses. The first stage of fatigue or nervousness may be the cause.” I had to reread my article to dis- cover what you questioned, for I agree 50 heartily in what you say. In fact, our leaflet on “How to Direct the Small Child's Curiosity” makes use of 'this n.:thod to teach the child how to live in_the adult’s household. Y You are right in your contention that unselfishness should not have “ful- some” praise. I am sorry I gave that impression, for a child might easily angle for attention by silly gestures of unselfishness. At the same time, both praise and blame, approval and disap- proval of his acts are effective weapons in child training. We cannot, dare not, discard them. ‘The real trouble in training for un- selfishness is that we demand so much more of the child then we do of our- selves. To ourselves we have a thou- sand good reasons for denying the child what he asks for, and yet we are de- termined that anything he is asked to| relinquish he should relinquish unques- tioningly. This is a big subject and well worth thinking over. ‘Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. ‘There should always be some kind of a serving table or cupboard in the small dining room or large breakfast room, but many persons do not like to have one of the open shelf cupboards shown because there are so many in use now. ‘That should be no reason for refusing to include one of these in the family, for with a little ingenvity it may be given a touch which will give it a very distinctive appearance. ‘The finish of this piece is pine, but instead of finishing the interior in pine or painting it in a bright shade, it has been lined with gingham. This same aterial covers the cupboard shelves and drops over the side to form a neat edging. Again®t this background, just imagine how charming some colorful pottery would look! The checked gingham is red and tan, the floor covering is a large oval braided rag mat in red, black, green and yel- low; the table is a drop leaf in pine and the chairs have slat backs and rush seats and are equipped with loose cush- ions of material to match the lining of the cupboard. Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Why Dreams Are Strange. It is perfectly possible for you to dream about the very tthF you think about. You in all probability do that very thing. One theory is that dreams are made out of the leftovers of the day’s thoughts. . You don’t consider it strange when you think about a friend who has died. But you do consider it strange when you dream about the departed. You may even go so far as to attach some sort. of spiritualistic significance to that nightly experience. Your ordinary waking thoughts lack the reality which they take on when you dream them. This reality element is what makes your dreams seem strange. Your waking thoughts are ab- stract ideas. The same thoughts dream- ed turn out to be concrete experiences. It seems to you that you actually see" the person dreamed of. The dream then amounts to a real experience. On _the other hand, your dream thoughts lack something that your waking thoughts possess. That some- thing is logic. Your waking thoughts contain that element of reason which we call logic or sense. One idea fol- lows another in a connected way. Your dreams, however, are a series of pic- tures, many of which do not follow one another in any orderly or sensible fash- ion. Every picture you dream is its own reason for being. And so when you come to recall your dreams, they seem strange because they don’t seem to be hooked up in any way. Since they have no reason to them, they seem | strange. (Copyright, 1930.) fall. The bulbs should shed their glim- mering lights from among the greenery | in the arch.

It may nse.m & !tlm an everyday affair, Helen Woodward: by Sfor her it was like leaping off a roof in the dark. In the end, she left in a huff over a small disagreement. Then followed a bad time. For six weeks she went from place to place. She answered advertisements. She letters. She stood in line. She was made to feer like a beggar. Once in awhile she stayed home with a toothacne. It was a pleasure to nurse the pain—plgasanter than the mental pain of begging for a job. One day she was sitting in the dreary employment agency office when the manager, a harsh woman, called to her, “Say, Miss.” She walked over. “Here. Some people want a bookkeeper—$15.

It would bé a new thing for her to have all that responsibility. He grinned a wide grin. “Well,” he said confidentially, “it'’s a new job for me, too. I've never before had such a big one myself.

Dear Miss Leeds—(1) My complexion is sallow and the pores on my cheeks are enlarged, although I steam my face and take exercise daily. My neck is also sallow and wrinkled. Please rec- ommend a bleach and a program for the care of my skin. Every night I USE AN ASTRINGENT LOTION AFTER CLEANSING . - cleanse my face with cold cream and then wash with soap and warm water. Afterward I apply a milk lotion. In the morning I use cold cream again as & powder base, but my skin still remains dry. (2) Please suggest reducing exer- cises for the calves of the legs. I walk up six flights of stairs every morning. (3) Although I am apparently in §00d health and sleep well, I have dark circles under my eyes. Why is this? RISAPPOINTED. Answer—(1) I could help you better if you had told me your age, weight, height and occupation. A certain sal- lowness usually comes with middle age, but if you are a young girl this cen- dition would show that your health is below par. Many people consider - selves in good health when they are not actually sick in bed, but they never know what real vibrant, abundant health is. Perhaps you are in this class. My advice is that you weight yourself and see whether you are nor- mal weight. If you have passed your 20s, your ideal weight is that given on the height-weight-age tables for your height at 30 years of age. Have a thorough ’‘physical examination by & doctor to see just where you stand on the health scale. Constipation and digestive troubles often cause sallow- ness. Keep your body sweet and clean both inside and out and fill your mind with bright, happy, kindly thoughts if you wish to realize your full possi- bilities for beauty. It is foolish to expect external treatments alone to produce beauty. The care you are giving your complexion seems very good. 'The enlargement of the pores may be due go your failure to use an astringent application after cleansing your face. Excessive dryness of the skin sometimes is due in part to lack of sufficient fats in the.diet; it may also be due to a disturbance in the functioning of the ductless glands. Be sure to scrub your neck in order to stimulate the circulation in it. Please send a stamped, self-addressed enve- lope and ask for my leaflets on beauti- fying the neck and throat and on the care of dry complexion. Once a week give face and neck a buttermilk bleaching pack. Cleanse the skin well, then spread on a paste made of buttermilk and cornmeal, leaving it on an hour and keeping it moist. (2) I do not think you can reduce the muscular calves. If they were fat and flabby, the regular stair climbing should make them firm and shapely. You might omit the stair climbing for several months and inst do the stretching and relaxation exercises in my leaflet on the care of the legs, which you may have upon request when you send for the other leaflets. (3) Dark circles are sometimes due to internal disorders, eyestrain, lack of fresh air and worry. Your physician can help you to find the cause in your case. At bedtime mix a few drops of peroxide with a teaspoonful of cold cream and pat this on the_ discolored skin. g LOIS LEEDS. (Copyright, 1930.)
