VIOlET'S AMBITION
CHAPTER S

SudplGT
In order to make clear the immense
difference between my life now. and
then, think l must give more of the
little details OF our days at that time.
That supper, for instance, was typi-
cal. We gossiped, we quarreled, or
we ate in sullen silence. Or else we
told each other about the worries of
the past day and speculated about the
worries Of tomorrow.
The table is the last place in the
world to bring quarrels or wor-
ries. Many a marriage has been
wrecked because the wife COM
planned or the husband groIled
over the dinner table.
1t was natural enough, in our case.
We never met as family except at
meals, and there our various differen-
ces rubbed against each other, and we
irritated each other.
Tonight, after James had fed from
the table, and after Jim, first to finish,
had gotten up and stalked off without
a word, Esther gathered up the dishes,
and began to help her.

she attacked q pile Of pans, two frying
pans OF heavy iron, coated now with
dark cold grease, and any number OF
sauce pans.
We were not a large family, but
somehow we managed to use up an
immense amount OF dishes and uten-
'sls at meal. Esther poured more
hot water into her dish pan, and
soaped her rag from bar of home

hands as she lifted them from the
strong hot suds. They were red and
puffy-looking-in the old days she had
had cunning, chubby little hands with
short, plump fingers. I used to admire
them then, and the pink nails at the
end of them. Nowadays, Esther's nails
broke from her work, and were kept
short that way, and the skin around
them was broken and thick and stained
indelibly from work.
Jim says he's got man to come

Our last hired man had left us in

in the factories. We had been trying
to get a new one for weeks.

important not only to kill the para

moisten the hair and the scalp with a
mixture containing equal parts OF
kerosene and olive oil shaken together
and allow this application to remain
about twelve hours. The child's scalp

Ringworm Disease.
Ringworm is also a parasitic disease,
easily spread where many children are
gathered together. 1t begins as a red
scaly patch, which becomes more or
less circular, clearing up in the center
as it spreads at the margin. When
the. disease occurs on the skin it is
much more amenable to treatment
than when it attacks the scalp. In the
latter location, ringworm is a repulsive
obstinate disease, which causes the
hair to become brittle and break off,
leaving partially bald, scaly spots on
the head. Though its treatment by
X-ray in the hands Of an expert prom
ises hope of a cure in short time.

 The recent orgy of extravagaace," declared the committees report, "has indicated very clearly the need for more popular realization of the need for saving when and as the opportuni- ty presents itself. The time is at hand when thrift and saving will be regarded as not only possibilities, but actual necessities"
