FLAPPER AND FLIPPER

Perhaps you think the flappers
and flippers are only flirting. But
if you look into their great, serious
eyes when you find them together
you'll see something more than
mere coquettish bats of eyelids
you'll see old Dan Cupid's genuine
love mists. The flapper and flipper
may be only practicing for real love
but they mean every word of love
they utter.
In the old days this love was
called puppy love" and calf love. "
Wise mothers and fathers respect
ed it.
Today when we see the sweet
young thing of fifteen or sixteen
with her bobbed hair and wild ways
petting the still wilder flipper with
his hat over his ear we think the
modern young folks are bit too
gay. But back of it all there is the
same old puppy love" and calf
love" which has been going on ever
since Adam and Ewes children found
a shady dell and new moon.
Young people of fifteen and six
teen who go to parties, keep com
pany" and enjoy the privileges of
coed schools are learning some of
the most valuable lessons in their
lives. They are learning to know
each other and the first principles of
love. 1t is nearly always the girl
who was never allowed to have
beaux who makes the most unfor-

WALKING
BY DIR. CHARLOTTE c. WEST

When your hoy has grown up You
Will want him to walk with firm,
manly stride, and as your little girl
develops, her light, graceful step
will be source of secret joy to you.
Now much can be done to bring
childhood, just as much can be and
is done through ignorance and neg
lect to prevent little children from
acquiring grace and ease of motion,
especially in walking.
At what age should an infant be-
gin to walk?
There are wide variations in the
age at which the normal infant
learns to walk, hence some mis-
to use their feet and thereby cause
much damage. Some infants learn
to walk at twelve months; others do
not walk until they are seventeen
or eighteen months old, even older.
The average age is fifteen months,
Therefore children must not be ex-
pected to walk properly until they
are one and a half years old A
healthy, normal child is active and
makes attempts to stand by pulling
himself up with the aid of your
skirts or by holding on to the fur
niture. Allow him to do this as much
as he wishes, but do not force him.
AS soon as ne is able to stand. he
makes his first attempt to walk.
Children who have suffered from
digestive troubles, or from any dis
orders whatsoever, if encouraged to
go beyond their strength, are prone
to develop deformities of the feet
and legs. Children who do not learn
to walk at the average age may be
rachitic (rickets). In certain in
fants who are not rachitic the power
of walking is lost for variable Pc
RODS and is due to weakness which
interferes with the child's vitality.
Delay in learning to walk should
lead us to examine for symptoms OF
ricketts,. These children always have
weak muscles as well as weak bones,
and their poor little weak attempts
to guard themselves against muscu-
lar effort is pathetic. When such a
child is neglected, or through ignor-
ance is forced to use his limbs. he
develops bow legs, knock knees and
othed deformities. Forcing children
to walk, also Injuries the feet; the
tender arches are easily broken
down. They should not be allowed
to walk until some time after, they
are ready to do so; neither should
they be taken on long walks when
they get older. The arch of the foot
is not overtaxed in normal play, but
it is in sustained walking.
Do not harp continually, Turn
your toes out" as the effort to do so
strains the muscles of the arch. You
are wrong in this at any rate. What
you mean is, Turn your toes in as
the great toe has a tendency to point
away from the center of the body
Watch carefully your babys efforts

CONVICTED BY DREAM

The first case in legal annals in
which a dream resulted in the arrest
and conviction of murderers became
matter of court record in Vermont
in 1919, although the case had a Sc
quel, hereafter to be stated, that was
even more remarkable than the
dream itself.
a Vermont man named Boorn
dreamed that Louis Colvin, a Man
riously disappeared six years earlier,
came to his bedside and declared that
he had been murdered and that
stephen and Jesse Boorn were his
murderers. The spook or apparition
or ghost of the murdered man cried
aloud for vengeance on his slayers,
and appealed to Boorn to see that
justice was done.
The men accused by the shade were
nephews Ct the dreamer, but Boorn
decided to lay aside family affection
and tell the authorities of his vision.
The officers scoffed at the story. but
Boorn persisted, and Stephen and
Jesse were arrested and accused. At
first they denied guilt. but soon
broke down and confessed that they
had killed Colvin. They were tried,
pleaded guilty and sentenced to

~ VJp6INJA TrpNhF. vaHD..Nrfp

When 4 girl is 20 and man 25, l.
docs not take long for them to be-
come friends.
Scott and Richard Rankin ripened
fast. Donald Muir, suspecting this,
Eesitated to interfere.
The girl had little that was bright
in her life, and was lonely. And she
showed no inclination to enlarge her
circle of acquaintances.
Her menage had become smaller
with her removal from her house to
an apartment. One maid, assisted
by Mrs. Bates, did all the work. "A
laundress came in for one day q
week. The chauffeur was retained,
but the large car had been ex-
changed for less expensive one.
Yet Winifred offered no protests.
At first her guardian had regarded
with approval this submission of
hers. Now he began to fear that
her new friend had succeeded in get
ting her to look at the matter of ex-
travagance from his viewpoint.
Could 1t be that the child was fall
ing in love with this youth with
half-baked ideas? If SO, fire must
be fought with fire.
For one could prove nothing tan
eible against Rankin-although Muir
felt a vague distrust of him. Beyond
the knowledge that Richard had the
position of a petty clerk in down
town business house. and that he
occasionally talked socialism. Donald
could learn little of him.
Yet Winifred was becoming more
and more interested In what she
called Rankin's "uplift work" That
he did not explain to her specifically
what such work was did not alter
her faith In it.
