BY ANGELO PATRIL ALPH and Johnnie were cousins * near the same age. They went to school together, played together until now, at the age of 15, going on 16, they were struggling .n adolescence. Their tempers were brittle, their be- havior uncertain, so they irritated each other now and then, greatly to the concern of their mothers. Johnnie had stopped on his way home to see the airplane that Ralph had just finished. The two were in the little shop under the porch exam- ining the plane. Johnnie turned to g0 around the plane to view the oppo- site side and bumped into Ralph, who had the same thought at the same time. The space was narrow and in their attempts to balance themselves the plane was knocked over and one of the wings split. “There, you big lummox! See what you did. You've gone and broken my plane. For that I'll paste you one, you big stiff.” “you'll do nothing of the kind. It wasn't my fault the old thing busted. You keep off me or I'll sock you one on the nose. I don't want to fight. Keep off me, I tell you.” “You broke my plane and you're go- ing to take your lumps.” “Yeah?" They buffeted each other out of the shop and onto the lawn. Their noise brought Ralph's mother running. “Johnnie, you bad boy. You let Ralph alone. You hear me? You let him alone. You stop this right this minute. Aren't you ashamed of your- self to fight Ralph in his own home? You've made his nose bleed. Go right home. I'm going to telephone your mother.” “He asked for it. I didn't want to punch him.

BY BETSY CASWELL. RE you a frenzied parent whose child or children have the pet craze to an alarming degree? I am, and although in the abstract I still think it is & charming thing for a child to grow up with an animal of its own, to love and to cherish, when it comes down to cold, hard facts, I con- #: fess to being & bit fed up on the whole situation. To begin with, in my innocence last Spring, I wrote liltingly about the joys of childhood’s de- light in pets. I even was indis- creet enough to mention cuddly Easter bunnies as a sweet, safe, and comparatively = Dets? Caswell easy solution to the average pet problem. In fact, I waxed so en- thusiastic on the subject, that a close friend (at that time) presented me with & typical cuddly Easter bunny, aged about 2 minutes, in a paper bag. Adorable, I thought, and donated it to my youngest, who christened the artair Benjamin, after Peter's cousia in the Beatrix Potter books. But lo, | here trouble started. | * X X % | MY OLDEST, who hitherto had| shown only a scornful tolerance | of rabbits, decided that because her | brother had painlessly acquired one, | she must, at all costs, follow suit., Amid tears and laments at being discriminated against in the first| place, she repaired with me to a pet | shop, and emerged victorious and somewhat scratched with a large and | husky white rabbit, fondly intended as Benjamin's future frau, ahd therefore appropriately christened Flopsy. | Unfortunately, living quarters for | the little family now became the prob- lem. Finances reared their ugly heads, carpenters were dealt with in turn,| | idea that children and pets should uent Events “the singingest fool birds she ever did see,” and dawns were rendered hideous by their attempts to emulate meadow larks, mocking birds, and that awful feathered creature who won his repu- tation simply by catching the worm a couple of minutes ahead of his pals. * x x x I weathered the Summer, with only one casualty—Brer Tarrapin got savage from eating raw meat and tried to bite stones, with unhappy results. Humphrey was blooming, Jim and Hansi were screech- ing, and Flopsy and Benjamin were living in dignified peace and quiet when the children came home. Then—and then only—did I taste the true bitterness of the whole situa- tion. The youngest brought with him & charming pair of mated chinchilla rabbits, presented by his indulgent grandmama and christened Mr. and Mrs. Swifty. (I still don’t know why. I haven't had the heart to go into the matter) Flopsy flew into a terrific rage on meeting the newcomers, al- though they were secluded in their own cozy bungalow, and vented her displeasure on poor Benjamin, with the result that Benjamin suffered a miserably torn ear and chewed foot. Mr. and Mrs. Swifty withdrew from the vulgar scene in horror, and Flopsy took to prowling up and down inside the run, talking to herself and swear- ing horribly. So now what? My oldest child in- sists tearfully that Flopsy must have a companion more to her liking than poor Benjamin—who has, incidentally, turned out to be Benjamima instead— and where once we had one hutch and run all indications point to three. It Flopsy is happily wed, what of poor Benjamima, doomed to inhabit the middle run in sedate spinsterhood? Y a0 RANKLY, an impasse has been reached. I am still all for the be inseparable, but I am not alto- gether sure just where the pet border line is reached and the animal farm | begins. School year lies before us, | won't have anything to do with you in the future. I'm not going to have him pounded by such a big animal as you. Go on home.” By this time Ralph had recovered control of himself and he broke in: “It isn't Johnnie’s fault. He's all right. I hit him first. Come on in and we'll wash up and then we’ll mend | the thing again. Never mind us, mother. We've got to take our lumps.” | Mother opened and closed her mouth a few times, as though gasping for breath, trying to catch something that was too fleeting for a slow-moving thought. “Lumps, lumps—what in the world? These boys are beyond me. I'd better make them a couple of sandwiches.” 14 ND so to bed"—but how A modern way?

We really believe it's facts and not fiction this time. Anyway, at about this time every year things start picking up. Employment agencies have made a survey and find that those out of jobs are as capable and qualified as those in them. Just the lucky “breaks” for the latter, they contend. If that is the case, the wise one will help Lady Luck along a bit. It has long since been proven that beauty need not necessarily be divorced from brains. In fact, the two have been “hitting it off” famously together. As a matter of further fact, any employer will tell you that, references or no, the brain remains to be seen, the beauty is seen. That doesn't mean that the appli- | cant need be a Follies belle. Far from |1t. The beauty we refer to goes with good grooming and better sense. She knows that if she looks shabby, the | prospective employer's confidence will be undermined. She couldn't be ca- | pable and be out of a job so long. It's | a sad state, but that’s the psychol | o8y, even in depression days.

When they go out he'’s | always the life of the party and he sets everybody's dinner table in a roar except his own, and, goodness knows, they don't know why he does this way. Yet they would not need to be Mrs. Sherlock Holmes to solve the mystery. All day long John's been talking, arguing, persuading, jollying bosses, customers and clients until he is sick of the sound of his own voice and other people’s voices, and he longs for the healing balm of silence. All day long he has been on a strain of wearing the smile that won’t come off and making himself entertaining and agreeable, and it is just in- effable bliss to be with a wife who takes him as he is and who doesn’t expect him to make any wisecracks. * x ¥ X ONE of the great grievances of wives over which they shed barrels of tears is that their husbands cease The explanation is simple.

Yet surely a | girl baby should be able to solve Shese problems. It's because it inflates a man’s su- | periority complex to have some one he can boss after having been bossed | himself all day by his overlord. He | doesn’t care a rap what his wife does, and in his soul he secretly knows that she is going to do what she wants to, anyway, but he gets a kick out of granting her permission to do it. Same thing about the allowance. Not many husbands are tightwads. Most of them are overly indulgent to their wives and the only reason they re- fuse to give them an allowance is because they enjoy posing as a benev- | olent providence from whom all bless- ings flow. Even when a man pub- licly berates his wife for her extrava- gance he isn't begrudging her a rag of her fine clothes. He is only boast- ing of how well he provides for her. * X ok % LOT of women are always won- dering why their husbands do not like to take them out. Generally the reason is that they are poor playfel- lows; they are wet blankets. They can’t enter into the spirit of an eve- ning off. They spoil the play by won- dering if the baby has kicked the covers off. They take the flavor out of the best dinner by harping upon the price and wondering if they can afford it, and that is why they get left at home next time. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright. 1935.)

IANTS have always attracted the | attention and admiration of av- | erage-sized persons. For this reason there are a lot of unverified stories about them. And the farther back you go in the stories of giants, the | taller they were said to have been. Tall men are the occasions for tall stories. When it comes down to reputable | stories, you have the following: 9.2 | feet, 9 feet, 8.9 feet, 8.4 feet, 8.3 feet. | If you are more than 6.5 feet tall, | with all general parts balanced pro- portionally, you may call yourself a | giant. | Among the various legends ‘con- cerning giantism are those which at- ‘There is absolutely nothing to these | stories. A giant may be either bril- | liant or dull. More often than not his | mental powers are somewhat below | the average. glandular unbalance which is re- sponsible for giantism also has its un- balancing effect upon the intellect.

Trite it may be, but a truism | it is. Simplicity with smartness is the key to clothes for business anyway, particularly when one is bent on the business of getting a job. Wear a simple dark dress. It needn't look mournful. A pink or white touch at the throat will add the soft, feminine touch. A simple hat, preferably one to match. Shoes should be the sim- ple, sturdy type, not spiked heels, but | the lower, broader heel that looks | efficient and says “I can stand on my own.” Accessories to harmonize, but here, too, it is better to be con- | servative. | A man does not expect to see a | pale-as-a-ghost creature applying for a job. On the other hand, he will not tolerate one who looks “too brilliant™ of cheek and lip. A little rouge, to be sure, lipstick to harmonize, powder to blend with both and with skin above all; but the make-up must be subtly applied. This goes for nail polish, too, | Stick to the pale shades in preference | to the reds. The hair, too. though it be waved and ringletted, should look office-ish, not party-ish. Scrupe uluous cleanliness goes without saying, If she looks fresh as a daisy, crisp, clean and efficient, the chances are more than even that she’ll get an opportunity to show she also has the brains.

Roses planted in November start to grow very early in the Spring and are almost sure to flower profusely. ‘They should be planted in reasonably rich ground, with the holes large enough to give ample room for the roots, and with the crowns about two inches under the surface. Then they should be hilled up with earth so as to form a cone about a foot high around the plants. Some extra protection in the way of salt hay, pine boughs or straw will help to carry them through the Winter safely (Copyright 1935 tribute great mental powers to them. | : This is true because the | i Easiest to use! | INSIST ON Tintex| '!'lNIS’ AND DYE!}
