 Beatrice found herself on the floor with the violent shove that Mrs. Laselli had put into her blazing indignation. From there she looked up in dazed surprise. Mrs. Laseli was shrieking at her.

 And late that night, when the fires of an- ger had subsided, Mrs. Laselli thought sud- denly of the soft voice of the psychologist; she saw his thoughtful eyes looking so kindly into hers; and a terrible fear smote her so that her knees shook and she had to sit abruptly down.
 After moment she rose, steadied herself with an effort, went out into the hall and listened. There came no sound from up- stairs, but the light was burning fiercely in Beatrice's room. Mrs. Laselli hurried up the stairs as if with fear that she might be too late.

Mrs. Laselli was in contrite mood. She had just come from meeting of the Par ents' association of the Washington High school, where she had been led into public confession. The principal had introduced a psychologist to the meeting, fine voiced, magnetic gentleman, who would confer with parents and talk with them about youth and all the new ways of learning. He had asked questions in the most intimate of persuasive tones and almost before Mrs. Lasell had been aware of it, she found her self speaking out before all the American mothers and telling how she had just scolded her child and had sent her to bed for saying damn

And the pie ture he painted of the possible evil conse Quences of her harsh treatment was very terrifying.
 But there were ways of making amends, he pointed out; and Mrs. Laselli was hurry ing home to meet her daughter Beatrice and save her from herself.
 It was dusk when she arrived at her door. That was strange, for everyone had been dismissed early on account of the meeting

 "E questo?'
 It was a mans rubber which her little fingers held like piece of carven ivory. Finkelstein let himself go
 ''That? That's to wear when it rains. Why, I've got pair myself. Got 'em on now"
 Truly"
 Her eyes were ecstatc. Rubber was not current in Calabria and Juliet had stumped home in her wooden clogs on many rainy hearth.
 "Wanna see?" one by one, the panopled hero waved his feet before the window, holding meantime by the tottering orange crate and ducking his head that the rubber shod feet might have full scope against a background of Bronx sunlight It was sloppy, thawing day and Finkelstein wearing, not rub bers, but boots.
 ''Dio mio!"
 Juliet clasped her hands and stood in admiration. No knight in armor could more have impressed her, to whom a piece of sacking tied about with string was the height of protection for the male leg.

 "Rubbers? Sure" She was nearer and he had her hand.
 ''And bottle for the warm water?" "For positively boiling hot water,' prom ised her prince, dawning love in his own eyes, It is doubtful if Finkelstein had ever promised girl anything before that he was perfectly sure he could do.

One of the most important meas
ures introduced was a resolution pre-
sented by DR.. j. G. Vance pertaining
10 the trials and hearings of mem
bers of the police and fire depart
ments against whom written charges
have been preferred. Incorporated in
the measure were it is required that

disposition and optimism as she
waddled into the photograph depart
ment of Loveman, Joseph & Loeb's
to enroll in reducing classes to be
conducted next week by The Age
Herald and the big department store.
Even the rain and the insufficiency
of her umbrella had not daunted her.
AS she came through the door to
enter the class one could see where
she had protrudded from under the
protecting shelter of the umbrella.
Such is her condition now. At the
close of next week she expects to
have stylish sylph-like figure, and
while she may not fully realize her
ambition, there is no question but
what she will be materially reduced.
She is but one of many according
to G. f. Greene, manager of the pho
nograph department. The three
classes planned by The Age Herald
and Loveman's were almost filled at
the end of the first day for enroll
ment and Mr.. Greene is considering
organizing additional classes.
Il never saw so much enthusiasm,
he sad. 1T has far exceeded my
hopes. Some women were lined up
in front of the store when we opened
this morning waiting to enroll"
One woman called UP. he said.
Can you enroll for the fat wo-
mems contest over the phone?" she
asked.
Mr.. Greene is considering starting
an afternoon class for oyer-stout
children. he announced Monday. Such
action had not been intended, but
numerous inquiries about such class
may lead to its inauguration, he
said
The system to be used is that per-
fected by the Wallace Institute of
Chicago, which has effected Won
ders. All that is necessary to enter
the class is a MILDLY blouse, a pair
of boomers and gym shoes.
