By Adele Madge and Katherine Propare to Put In Opsretion 8 Scheme for the Harmondons Peirtng of the Cosples. Katherine's anxiety to get back inte the living room and watch the dancers was no greater than my own, and we hurried through our cutting and marking of the cards which should match the supper partners and gave a final inspection to the buffet meal we had prepared. “It's as attractive a table as I ever nw,” sald. “Against the back- ground of this kitchen it s especially effective. Isn't it lucky Katle loves flowers ‘to work mit’'?" ‘The smiling assent I gave had a bit of tenderness in it, for my little maid's love for my flower garden and her care of the blossoms always have been a strong bond between us. From the first crocus to the last chrysanthemum the rooms are ways filled with flowers, and Katie always has large vases of them in Garrison moment, yet I knew that five of them were near the explosive polnt with thelr emetions. There were but three happy, carefroe faces. Carolyn, an elfish, deliclously pretty sprite, was patently wild with delight at this unexpected chance for a “party,” that acme of achoolgirl desires, while Marion and Ronald were so happily absorbed in each other that they might have been alone in the room for all either knew of their sur- roundings. *“Look at those two faces!" Kath. erine whispered. “Lillian would bet. ter watch out. An early infatuation like that sometimes leads to an en- gagement and marriage, you know, and with Carolyn as Marion's room- mate this year. Ronald is likely to be very much in the offing.” “I know," I said worriedly, then, with the eternally alive feminine ten. dency for romantic plannings, began to push objections out of the way. “It isn't as bad as it Ronal¢ had the kitchen. This particular evening she had a riot of asters and sinnias | and from them I was able to select | tints of orange and bronze and gold with @ touch of lavender for con- | trast, which made a charming center-plece for the buffet supper table. ‘We slipped quietly into the corner of the living room, near the door, where we had arranged a table for the bowl of fruit punch. We filled up the sadly depleted punch bowl from the pitcher we carried, ex. changed the used glasses for fresh ones and settled down to watch the dancers, who, having finished the 'aul Jones," were waltzing again. “We wouldn't need those cards if ‘we could only call ‘Keep your part. ners for supper.’” Katherine whis- pered, and I saw that they indeed were paired as we had planned in order to minimize the danger of a scens threatened by the emotional tension hidden beneath the conven- tional mask of some of our guests. Prince Georges and Princess Olina, Charles Owen and Mary, Noel and Carolyn, Ronald and Marion—all | 8am Brixton’s blood in his veins,” I said. “Lilllan couldn’t have stood that, and we couldn’t blame her. But | there couldn’t be a swecter or more high-minded woman than Helena Brixtqn. The father was a rotter, I believe, though I am not sure that Lillian told me so, outright. But I received that impression from some- where.” “Well, for that matter, so was Ma- rion’s, you know,” Katherine sala bluntly, “yet you'd be very angry with Helena Brixton if she disap- proved her son's attentions to Marion on that account.” 1 nodded absently, for I was watching the other dancers, reading beneath their carefully masked faces the widely different but equally strong emotions which were swaying them, “Well,” rallled Katherine, after matching my silence for a minute or two, “is the mind-reading stunt nearly finished? If not, you'd bet- ter hurry, for that dance record’s coming to an end, and then it will be high time to serve supper.” (Continued Tomorrow) ‘were dancing as if they had not a theught beyond the pleasure of the Buster Tries to Run Away BY THORNTON W. BURGESS Who from temptation runs away Should keep on running night and day, —Buster Bear. Buster Bear, in the dusk of early morning, stole out from the woods on the backside of the Great Moun- tain to peep into a pigpen, a logpen behind & smal barn. That barn hid the pigpen from the view of any one in the little house. Buster was trying to make himself believe that all he wanted was to see how many pigs there were in that pen. He could hear some grunting and squealing and it gave him a funny feeling. Very watchfully he aproached the back of that pen. Then he stood up and looked over the top rail. ‘When he did that there was a scam- pering of hoofs and squeals of fright ‘What Buster saw was a pleasant sur- prise. He saw two big pigs and six small pigs. It was the sight of those small pigs that gave Buster such a pleasant feeling. Without really thinking what he was doing he started to climb over into the pen. Then he heard a door slam somewhere and at that sound Buster took to his heels, making straight for the woods. You would be surprised to ses how fast Buster can run when he tries to. “I didn’t veslly want one of those * muttered Buster to himself. “I just wanted to look at them. I Suess it wouldn’t be safe to take one of those pigs. But they certain- ly did look good to me. If one of thase pigs wouldn't make good, ten- der aating, then I don’t know what §00d, tender eating is. Well, I must try and forget about those pigs. So Buster wandered on his way. He found a few acorns here and a few wild grapes still hanging to the vines there. But this eating a mouth- ful here and a mouthful there was very unsatisfactory. He felt as it the first mouthful w gone before he found the second one. All the time he kept thinking of those pigs. “I must forget 'em.” said Buster, in his deep rumbly-grumbly voice, as he talked to himself. “I must for- get those pigs. I will just get so far away from them that I won't; think of them. It is easier not to | think of things when you are a long way from them. I will just run away from those pigs. If I don't they may get me into trouble.” So Buster kept on moving. Now and then he stopped to dig up a root. Once or twice he tore open an old stump to get at the nest of a Wood Mouse. In fact, he stopped whenever he could find anything to | eat. But this’wasn't often and so most of the time Buster was mov- ing. And all the time he was trying | to make himsel( believe that he was | running away from those pigs; that he was running away from tempta- tion. Once he crept under a big windfall and took a long nap. When | he awoke he came out and started | on again. “If 1 find any more pigs” he grumbled, “I'll run away without looking at them. They are too much of a temptation. Yes, sir, they arc too much of a temptation. That's why 1 am running away from those | pigs 1 saw early this morning. It I hadn't run away they might have made a lot of trouble for me. They squealed too loud. I suppose -they belong to one of those two-legge creatures that have terrible guns. ‘That is why they are likely to make trouble for me if I don't leave them alone. T'll just stick to the woods.” Along sbout the time the first | stars began to appear in the sky. Buster came to the edge of the woods.

Buster was right back where he had started from early that morning. He had simply traveled in a great circle. That is the way he had run away from those pigs. (Copyright 1928, by T. W.

Me can learn a great deal and have intense fun with it while the stage of his interest lasts. The pleasure of playing with water need not be denled, as it usually is, from motives of health and convenience. Both the kitchen sink and the bath tub are under proper circum- stances fine places to use for play. ‘When the child is about to take a bath or a nap, and his clothes are soon to be removed anyway, therc 18 no harm in getting pretty wet just prior to the event. But it is quite possible to keep him dry by fitting him out with a rubber apron. He can readily be taught enough skill and care to keep him from spilling s0 much water that he will wet his shoes and stockings. Under these conditions even the apartment house child can have his fill of water play. In the bath tub his operations can be on a large scale. Here he can sail his fleet encountering storms He can fish for his celluloid frogs and fish and turtles He can pour water in and out of large buckets, thus learning some- thing of motor control necessary in | manipulating heavy things in lifting, tilting and pouring from them. In this sort of play his imagination and his muscles are equally active. Standing on a substantial bench or solid chalr at the Kitchen sink he kind of fun. as his equipment cups of different sizes, «hallow pans, soap and a soap bub- Lle apparatus. The possibilities are inexhaustible; the child will be ab- sorbed for an hour at a time. He loves to pour water endlessly from He tries to lift a full pan without spilling any. He lcarns that it takes several —small cups to fill a large one. He finds out how to turn the water taps, regulate the streams, and get tither hot or cold as he pleases.

(A-ochted Press_Fashion wfir) Paris, Nov. 3¢ UP—The 'Nipponess school of art, which has a strong tollowing here, is influencing wom- on’s fashions. Not only are the Japanese paint. ers in Paris designing materials for the leading fabric houses, but their delicate wash colors reflected in modern furnishings are influencing women in their choice of costumes. Pale greens, soft grays, coral pink and powder blue, all important shades on the Japanese painters palette, are to have important places in the spring fashion shows, accord- ing to predictions. Japanese prints which blend the soft colorings against black and dark blue back- grounds. also loom up as important spring selections. Jade gFfeen and mother of pearl gray already are making a stroag bid for popularity, both for dresses and coats for resort wear. Green hats are shown throughout Paris for winter as well as advance spring ‘wear. A revival of oriental costume jew. elry accompanies the boom of Jap- anese colors and fabrics. Pale co- rals, jades, turqyoise and amber are in evidence not only as jewslry but’ as mountings for bags, as slip- per and as belt buckles. Japanese lacquer mountings and Inltlnh are used on silk handbags. Some oriental designs of uanll pattern are even to be found among the new lame and brocaded silks for evening wraps. Health Hints BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the Amerioan Medical Assoclation and of Hy.. geis, the Health Magazine. Nowadays it is realized that the health of the school teacher has a definite relationship to the quality of her work, to her resuonse of her pupils and to the finances of school administration. The child learns more my example than by rule. It is not worth while for a teach- er_to tell children to stand tall when she herself slouches with her stomach forward. In the great cam- paign for health as a fundamental factor in life, the National Educa- tional Association has placed mental health and physical health on a par. In preparing health questions for teachers, the magazine Hygeia has listed signs of health and health ha- Question — Is chlorine in drinking water dangerous? Answer—In the case of the amounts of chlorine used to make drinking water safe against water-borne disease, it is not harmful. bits which will be useful for any one interested in his own evaluation. Here are the questions: signs of Health Can you work and play without being more than naturally tired mentally or physically at bedtime? Arc you rested when you get up in the morning? Is your appetite good for whole- some food? Are you free from persistent trive fal worry? Do you enjoy mingling with other people? Have you confidence in yourself? 1t your weight within 10 per cent below or 15 per cent above the aver- age for your height and years? Does your posture indicate health and efficiency? Are your arches normal and arc you free from pain in your feet and legs? Are your muscles resilient? Is your vision either mormal or corrected by glasses. Can you hear ordinary conversa- tion at 186 feet. Is your skin clear; Qolor good? POISE IN EXERCISE Variety In Sports Helpful. Variety in exercise mske for symmetrical development. Editor'd Note: This is the last of series of six articles on “How to Grow Graceful,” written exclusively for NEA Service and Herald by Doris Niles, youngest American dancer to head her own ballet organization. BY DORIS NILES Grace is & natural possession of the American girl, due to her love of dancing, sports and activities. And in sports she has proved herself in many directions a formidable rival to the oposite sex. To meet all these calls and her social duties, she possesses vital freshneas and buoyant energy. In sports, ohwever, as in dancing, there are certain things which de- tract most decidedly from grace, and should be avoided. Observation and the study of dancing since I was & little child have impressed me forc- ibly with this, One of these detract- ing sources, and a serious one, is too steady a devotion to a single sport employing a single set of muscles, The same objection arises to con- fining oneself to a single set of exercises in dancing. To be thoroughly graceful and symmetrically developed, not only one set of muscles, but all should be called into play. Exercise evenly dis- tributed and not too much of any kind is the only plan to follow. People who are devoted to horse- back riding are apt to develop a very ugly walk; those who play tennis ex. cuslvely are also likely to become un- graceful walkers, due in part to wearing flat lhoe} continuously; also, tennis playing to excess brings a certain lankiriess of movement. Varlety in exercise, instgad of a single set of them, plays a big part In both sports and dancing in de. veloping the muscles of the body. To take one kind of sport or exercises one day and another the next is a far surer way to grow more graceful and to develop with greater sym- metry. Professional tennis players proceed along more scientific lines than do amateurs, who, not following the same elaborate course, are less for- tunate in the outcome as far as grace goes. I vary my dance steps and dance exercises, never doing the same ones two days in succession. In training the young girls of my ballet, I pro- ceed along that line. Not only does Is your hair glossy, but free from excessive oil (not brittle and dry)? Are your' teeth either sound or filled? Are you free from constantly re- curring infection, ‘including cold? Are you free froim constant or recurring pain? Health Habits Are you eating some dark bread daily? Do you drink six glasses of wates every day? Do you average at least eight hours' sleep every night? Do you eat sweets in moderation and only at the end of a meal? Do you eat only at meal time? (Fruit may be excepted.) Do you eat two vegetables, exclu- sive of potato, every day? Is one of these an uncooked vege- table (celery, lettuce, cabbage, ete.) ? Do you eat fruit at least once m day? Do you eat one of the following every day: meat, milk, chgtse, nuts, tish, egg? Do you take your meals regular- 1y? Do you eat slowly? Do you take a full bath at least twice a week? Do you clean your teeth at least twice a day? Do you have a bowel movement each day (without a cathartic)? Do you average at least on hour out of doors every day? Do you exercise vigorously at least one-half hour every day (either outdoors or in)? Do you average at least an hour each week for recreation, social ae- tivty, reading etc. (in addition to the dally exercise)? Have you a vital and satisfying interest outside of your work? Do you have your bedroom win- dow open at night? Do you endeavor to maintain your best standing and sitting poe- ture? During business hours ‘do you wear comfortable walking shoes? Do you have a thorough physical examination once a year? Does your dentist examine your teeth twice a year? If you have physical limitations do you know them and live within them? READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS FOR BEST RESULTS it bring far better results, but fatigue from long hours of rehearsal is reduced to a minimum. In professional dancing, versa- !ullty is & prime necessity; therefore practice must be versatile. The long list of national dances to be master. ed is certainly formidable, and the interpretative dances are endless. Each brings its set of muacles inte play; each gives the dance-enthusiast some speclal share of grace to add to her accumulated store of it. MOSCOW MUSHROOMS Russians serve mushrooms in in- numerable appealing ways. One of the most delectable is made as follows: Boll a pound of mush- rooms, pink onmes it obtainable, very gently in salt water untll tender. Drain carefully. Beat cne egg and jump the cooked mush- rooms around in it. Then put them, again carefully so they will stay whole, into & pan of hot but. ter and brown evenly.
