Love’s Awakening By Adele Lillian's Fears Concerning Marian's Approaching Young Ladyhood Are Brokean Into By the Ar- rival of the Brixton’s. Lillian gave me a quick, startled glance as I asked her if she expect- ed to lure Marion in a nunnery The query had held a tinge of delib- erate malice, for I felt that she should be made to see how absurd was her evident uneasiness over the school girl's perfectly natural inter- est in the coming visit of Ronald Brixton, who would be the first col- legiate of her acquaintance. “I suppose 1 am the original mother dnck who was afraid of hav- ing her duckling learn to swim,” said with a rucful smile, “but you see Marion's interest in the visitors has hit me between the eyes because it is so different from her usual line. She always has had the tomboy at- titude toward boys you know.” © “What Dboys? 1 asked bluntly. “Mary’'s small brothers when they were here, Junior—and—if you can count him among the juveniles— Jerry Ticer. What other boys does she know? What opportunity have you had of noticing her interest in ‘the opposite sect'?" She sat down heavily in the near- est chair and stared at me, her eyes filled with lively @dismay. “What a nincompoop I've been!" she exclaimed. “The child doesn’t know a single boy of her own age or a little older, and the only girls she knows are those of the school. She:was' invited to two or three homes you remember, but 1 didn’t let her go—she didn’t want to leave “Yes, I remember,” T said a bit shortly. “And you thought my refusal un- wise?” There was no resentment in her tone, only a tremulous anxiety. T summoned my courage and an- swered her plainly. *Yes, 1 did, for you had met the mothers of those girls, and knew their standards were like your own. ¥You hid no reason for keeping her excej@ your own reluctance to let her out of your sight. And—forgive me—you know Marion’s devotion to you—how can you be certain that she secretly didn't wish to go?" Bhe brushed her hand across her she | ‘l'hlinfls"l'! w Wo-n Garrison “I've been blind Madge." she said. heavily after a long pause. “I've 50 wrapped my child in cotton wool that I've deprived her of a young girl's normal outlook on life.” “Don’t talk nonsense!” I told her, atthough the first half of her self- indictment voiced a secret opinion I had long held. “Some of the mod- ern youthful outlooks on life that T've observed aren't anything to mourn.” “You're begging the question,” Lillian said shrewdly. “But’ thankye teacher, I've ledarned the lesson by heart. And I shall put part of it into practice right away. Marion has been throwig out hints about wearing something ‘a bit more spiffy than school frocks' while the visitors are here. I've been purposely deaf, for 1 thought it nonsense, but I'll drive over to Southampton this aft- ernoon and see what I can pick up.” I did not see the result of her shopping until the afternoon when we expected the Brixtons. With everything in readiness for the viit- ors even to the flowers for the din- |ing table. Lillian and I were sitting | on the front veranda awaiting themy when Marion and Mary appeared in the doorway. Dicky's niece with an air of triumphant well-doing, wkile Lillian's daughter was patiently try- ing to hide her excitement and pleasure. “This little girl,” Mary intoned theatrically, ‘is new to our city, but she’s going to make the grades, Ob- serve the spiffy frock she's sporting and the new style of hairdress. Now give the little girl a hand.” Tillian and I applauded dutifully, although T think that Mary's night club jargon was as distasteful to her as to me, with our memories of Mary's escapade as the masked dancer. But Marion was so exquisite a vision wit'h her dark hair, her brilliant coloring and her blue, gray eyes framed-in a little sport frock of canary yellow overlald with pastel ghades, that we forgot every- thing else in the sheer pleasure of looking at her. And then a large sedan followed by a sport car came slowly into view, their occupants looking searchingly at the house, and we knew that the Brixtons had arrived.

Guiding Your Child HELPING WITH LESSONS By Mrs. Agnes Lyne ‘When your boy comes home with repeated bad news on his report card as to his spelling lessons, it is clear that something will have to e done about it. You go to school and talk to his teacher. She is too busy to give him the extra attention he seems to need, but she thinks it would help it you undertook to supervise his study at home. 8he explains the particular method to be used. You go home armed with a speller and the meth- od, prepared to make your boy come through. If you sit down grimly determined to hammer spelling into his head whether he likes it or not, you are doomed to fallure, and to make him hate spelling worse than ever. Tt would actually bhe better for his spelling to let him spend his time playing catch in the vacant lot. It would do him less harm than to in- crease the discouragement and re- sistance _he would develop under such inauspicious circumstances. The speller and the method are only half the battle and probably not the more important half at that. | ¥or a child with ordinary intelli- gence, it 18 likely that his difficulty with the subject arises from the fact that it bores him and that it is asso- ated in his mind with many un- He has addea to his troubles a chronic sense of discouragement born of repeated failure, Your job 1s to give him a new start.

A burich of crosses or aigrettes makes it a very dressy afternoou hat or even a res- tanrant hat. It would be just the thing for ome of the new lace dresses., .BY JEAN PATOU Paris, Nov. 2—My millinery de- partment has bcen a source of never-failing interest to me, In fact I find myself becoming engrossed in hats, much to my surprise. At the outset it soon would get ahead of me it I were not caretul. The reason for this is that a new hat in turned out practically every day and modistes never stop creating. Hats, therefore, are often in ad- vance of current fashions. Only a fwe scasons back a lat was not much an integral part of an ensemble as it is today. Now it is a complement, not an acces- sory; the fourth piece of a three- plece suit. By this I mean that a hat “designed to go with a certain ensemble not only completes ti but cafinot very well be worn with any other, The hat completing a sports en- semble must have very different lines from that meant to accom- pany & dressier suit of an after- noon costume, The matters of material, shape and trimming— all these are of the greatest im- portance. A supple, floppy-brimmed hat or a too-elaborate creation with algrettes would look absurd with a suit, just as plain felt would great- ly detract from the charm of a clinging afternoon gown. The hat must absolutely harmonize with the Bress it is meant for. 1t must re- call some detail of 1t, in the shape of a buckle, incrustations, an irreg- ular brim te match an irregular skirt, or any other theme used to trim the dress. Could women realize how much a hat can mar or enhaive their aspect generally, they would spend even miore time and thought on the choice of a hat. I have a client who is reputed to be one of the smartest women in Paris. She in- variably wears the same shaped hat, but with it achieves the necessary variations of texture and trimming to harmonize with her gowns. My clieat has studied her type and spent much time and energy before deciding on the style most becoming to her. The result is that she always looks well-hatted, which perhaps is more important than to look well-gowned. What is more, her hats never laok demode. The difficulty in selecting & hat for a woman is that it must be be- coming to her and at the same time suit the dress. The choosing of a dress is that much less complicated. Health Hints BY DR. MORRIS FISHBBIN of the American Medical Association and of Hy- Eeia, the Health Magazine. It is a common conception that much exposure to outdoor air builds resistance to the common told, that the way o keep from having colds W to submit oneself to extremes of temperature. The notion is compar- able to the symbolic belief that smallpox could be conquered by put- ting velvet hangings on the windo Scientific evidence ceptibility of the Eskimo common cold is now available through the results of rescarch by Drs. Peter Heinbecker and Edith 1. M. Irvine-Jones, who studied these diseases in Greenland in 1926, The evidence scems to establish detinite- ly that the catching of a cold de- pends on contact with persons who have colds and that the Eskimo by the nature of his living has not built up any spedial resistance. Bring Colds to Pole Among the Polar Eskimos not a single case of infection of the breathing tract had appeared until the arrival of the expedition which had among its members a few with colds. Within 72 hours after the arrival of the expedition near- ly every Esfiimo in the settlement had a cold. The most important fact ob- served was that the Eskimo does not develop resistance to colds, since the condition disappears after a period but reappears promptly just as moon as a new expedition ar- rives at the settlement. Persons with colds who carry the germs bring them into the camps where they spread rapidly to those who come in contact with the carriers. Greater Susceptibility 1t was the opinion of the inves- tigators, in fact, that the Eskimo apparently has an increased sus- fur called “gayac.” ceptibility to °infections of the breathing tract which resembles that of all primitive groups when new infections are brought among them. ‘When measles was first intro- duced by white man in the Faroe Islands the epidemic was terrific and killed hundreds of persons. When tuberculosis was first intro- duced to the American Indian, thou- sands died of the disease before some immunity developed.

Have the fat for the frying the right temperature, which is 375 de- grees 1. A simple test to add a peeled potato to the hot fat and if it browns well in 40 counts, the fat is ready for the doughnuts. If the fat is too hot the doughnuts will brown very quickly and be raw on the inside, while if the fat is not hot cnough, the doughnuts will mot rise quickly and will be grease soaked and s0ggy. It doughnuts are flat on one side there has been insufficient fat for the frying. Doughnuts should be turned only once. A colander may be used for a pie cooler, ‘When preparing apples for cook- ing, cut them in halves, then quar- ters and they may be quickly peeled and cored with less waste than if pared while the apples are whole.
