CHAPTER CCLxxy

SCL2A-AS
 "I can't Babsie, dear-I can't. Don't you see that I can't?" begged Neal.
 I was sitting in his office, where I had gone at Jim's bidding to tell Neal that Virginia was implacable and that the only way for him and Phoebe to find happiness was to take it in spite of her. The great idea-the in spiration of the night before-was no longer attractive to me But to Jim it looked like the only way. And his whole gambling instinct fought for it.
 But Neal was refusing to avail himself of the permission -Phoebe's brother had sent him. Refusing to carry out this bless you. my children. o. k.'d in advance, elopement." Ills attitude reused me, first to curiosity, then to normal. human stubbornness.
 'I'd like to know why not ?'' I ask ed indignantly. Are you insinuating that Jim and I would want you to do anything that wasn't perfectly all right?''
 "Babsie dear-as if I didn't know my big sisters sweet, clean heart by this time! But I can't sneak around to the back door of the Harrison establishment and drag Phoebe out through the kitchen. It isn't good though for my little sweetheart. She's only--a baby, sister dear.''
 I caught Neals hand in mine as he spoke. To me he has always seemed 'only baby" himself. But his feel nS for Phoebe was all a mans love sturdy, strong and protective. It made my heart ache to think that NirSinia's blindness wanted to deny Phoebe such a, love as this. Aloud I said stun blingIy:
 ''Laddie, I love you more than I know how to say. You are so chiv- slrous to all women-so bIessedIy chivalrous. And where Phoebe is con- cerned you're adorable But
 But me no buts. Babsie dear. Phoebe's worth waiting for Virginia She'll come to see that after a while, and she won't deny it.
 Jim will be furious. Every one is defying him. I said uneasi1y.
 Neal gave my hand a reassuring squeeze.
 Jim would be furious if it came to showdown and he couldn't give Phoebe away at a lovely flower decked altar,'' he said.

The Harrison clan feeling would demand that. Jim. can't give Phoebe away at the altar, when there's no chance in the world that Jeanie will ever consent to her going there with you.''
 shell have to consent" said Neal. stubbornly- I'm going to have my little Phoebe's wedding anything but a flower-decked, beautiful thing want her to have it to remember happily always. I want her to have only happy things to remember from now on.''
 All right" I said, meekly, trying to adjust myself to the various and varied masculine viewpoints with which I was compelled to deal.

Why Fit the Round Peg Into the Square Hole?
New Industrial Religion Tells How to Get Eficien- cy By Means of Applied
 Psychology
BY ZELDA BEDELL

Here's a man who comes to Bridgeport and says those astounding things to stir us out of smugness: ''Too much money is spent on machinery and not enough on mentality;
 Education, as Edison says, is a failure:
 '1 agree with the late James J. Hill, the railroad magnate, who once said to me: 'Educa- ton be damned! The longer live the more I've come to be- lleve that men are born and not made, and then I know I'm a damned fool for saying so!'
 "Seventy-nine per cent of the employers and employees of the United States are in the wrong iobs.''
 And this pioneer in a new industrial religion is fully pre- pared to substantiate with con crete proofs his statements.
 What Is It?
 Warren Hall. NJ D., Ph- D., is professor of the science of psychology as applied to industry
 And what is psychology as applied to industry?
 Psychology for many years has a1- ways been construed to be something occult or metaphysical If this was not the conception it was considered to be thing of the university or at least something of a 'highbrow' na- ture. That it could be applied to var !ouS industries to See it secure higher degree of efficiency is one of the more modern ideas.
 Colleges have achieved in a meas ure this result but it has been merely by-product, achieved in a round about way. The classes organized in applied psychology succeed in teach ing the individual control of the dy- mamie force contained within himself by a direct or short cut method. This we have demonstrated not only in the ind uStriess but in various classes made up of business and professional men, workers and members of the leisure class.
 The desire of everyone in an indus secure more results without working so hard. How to secure this result has always puzzled both employer and employe, simply because no one has ever analysed the worker. He has always been classified; instead of in dividuaEzed. The constant cry of the executive has been for the eff cient man or woman. If I only had more Toms, Dicks, Carries and Ethels whak could not. accomplish? has been the cry of the heads of big business. They have searched the world for those efficient personages constantly overlook the fact that in their own employ are diamonds in the rough which by a little polishing could be turned into gems of the first water-the efficient man or woman
 Before the war the Oakland, Cafif.- Mazda Lamp company were losing s60,000 a year through breakase alone. By the use of psychology as applied under the methods of r. Hall, working with the human element alone in this plant, in less than three months time that loss was reduced to less than s1,o00 a month. This was accomplished by training the ex- ecutives and foremen of this plant how to handle themselves along scien- tific lines, thereby enabling them to handle the girl workers who compos- ed the majority of the employees tin

ADVICE TO THE

In Love With a Widower.
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

In Love With a Widower. Dear Miss Fairfax:
 Some months ago woman friend died, leaving a, baby. At the time she was living her husband and I were very good friends. Since her death I find that I have grown to love him very dearly. I do not know what his feelings toward me are.
 I would appreciate any advice you may give as to how I might ascertain what his feelings are, as I feel that I cannot let him marry any other per son until he knows how I feel.
 Perplexed. the man inQuiring about his welfare and that of the baby. Not to show friendly interest would be odd indeed under the circumstances But to try to force the man to think of marriage may be revoIting to his whole nature He may still be thinking of the dead mother of his baby as-his wife.

Household Hints
NIAAE SHOES AND STOCKINGS

MAKE SHOES AND STOCKINGS
 LAST.
 When the lining in the heels of my shoes begin to have holes in them melt a little paraffin or light a candle and fill the hole with the m citing wax. This makes the lining smooth, lasts long time and keeps the heels of my stockings from wearing out so quickly.
 MAKES HUSBANDS TIES.
 I think I save the most money with the least time expended by making my husbands ties. One-Quarter yard of 36-inch silk makes a tie. At Christ mas time when I am making several ties I buy three-quarters of a yard of silk and this makes four ties. I use an old tie for a pattern. also watch the styles and see if they are making them wide or narrow.

mine now has catalepsy. Will you tell what that is
 Answer-Cataepsy is a, peculiar form of muscular rig1dity. An af- fected limb may be moved with but slight resistance and will maintain. in opposition to gravity, for an hour and even longer, any position in which it may be placed. This is called wax ffexibilty.' The condition is most frequently seen as symptoms of hys- teria, of melanch olfa- and of some brain tumorS.
 ScaIded Leg.
 I scalded my leg almost a year ago and a rigid scar has remained which itches very badly Can you give me any remedy to stop the itching?
 Answer-Carbo1ated soap, or car bolated vasehne, or a. per cent re- sorcin ointment (which any druggist will suppfy).
