normal child can safely assimilate an egg every other day, from four or five, until the age Of eight or nine years. Soft boiled or poached eggs are preferable. Fried eggs are easiest to cook but not as good for chidren's digestive powers. Avoid them and fried potatoes, also. At the age of nine, an egg day is just as essential as an apple day in good body build ing elements.
 If boy or girl Of beginning school age is anaemic or flnicky. you have a real problem on your hands. But where there's a will there's way. Don't ever try to scold or drive a child to eat something it doesn't want. AL ways try to persuade by example and any other helpful method, but don't try to force the issue.
 Milk three times day, any way they like it. Its building qualities are strong, and bone and muscle are things to be sought in childhood. The cereals are body building foods and any normal child prefers them if properly offered and temptingly serv- ed.
 Meats are much better for early body building if carefully served in connection with nutritious vegetables. There are many tempting dishes of such mixtures that children prefer rather than highly seasoned foods or over-indulgence in sweets.

 EARLY BODY BUILDING

AS the twig is bent so is the tree inclined. If babyhood days have been wisely spent in storing up energy and strength, and one has been fortunate enough to have escaped wasting diseases, tho baby will come into n childhood legacy of healthy, proper iy nourished body.
 At the age of six or seven, when the boy or girl begins school life, tho regimen of dict is a real problem for the mother to consider in a wise and skillful manner. IL is not only the dict itself which should be proper and ft- ting but the additional health prob- lem is in getting the child to take what is necessary and best for school age strength and body building.
 Eggs offer wholesome food for children as early as the fourth year. While 1t is true, according to the best dieticians, that the albuminous ele. mcnts arc rather hard for the young sters, if the diet is wisely selected, the

Plans For Precipitatc Flight
 Were Made

My eyes went from Lillian's face to that of my sister-in-law, and caught the look of dismay which spread over it at Mrs. Underwood's announcement.
 Saturday 70 she repeated. And this is Wednesday. l never can get to Detroit and back before then. Our house-my things-l simply can't-''
 She broke off and stood staring at the floor. AS I watched her trou- bled face I realized what Lillian had meant by her signalling look to me. Apart from her interest in the fate of the orphaned Harrison children I knew that my friend was having what she herself would describe as the time of her young life" in watching the mental processes of my sister-in-law in her transition from the self-centred chatelaine of the brilliant surgeons home to the wor- ricd and self-forgetting mother of the niece and nephews she meant to adopt.
 The conflict in Harriet Braith- waite's mind was patent to all of us. l knew how, more than most women, my sister-in-law had made a fetich of her housekeeping, and how at tached she was to her possessions. It was breaking up her whole life as she had always lived it, for her to leave her household goods to the profane keeping of outsiders.
 Selfshness or Sacrifice
 Which would win, her old-time selfish absorption in her own affairs, or her newborn spirit of sacrifice for the children which Death had thrust into her keeping? Even as we watched her the answer came, for with a sudden resolute lifting of her head, she faced her husband.
 T shall simply have to let every thing else go," she said. 'I'll do all l can with the telegraph and tele- phone to Lucy, and trust to luck for the rest. But the children will be safely out of the country Saturday. That is all that matters"
 think she had her reward, if she needed one, in the look her husband gave her, the kind of appreciative gaze which makes the heart of any wife worthy the name skip a beat when she is lucky enough to be the recipient of it. And then my moth- er-in-law galvanized us all into open mouthed astonishment.
 Never mind trusting to luck, liar riet," she said quietly. Just trust to ME"
 Her daughter looked at her in be- wildered fashion.
 Why, Mother 1" she exclaimed wonderingly. "You cant mean"
 ITO go to Detroit in your place, and see to the closing of your house." her mother rejoined surpris- ingiy. That Is exactly what I do mean"
 ''But your health, Mother" Har- riet stammered.
 You're out of your mind" This was Dicky's contribution.
 -Isicbar1 fs Chosen
 "r'li challenge you to a compari- son before any alienist," his mother retortcd witheringiy, and then she turned to her son-in-law. Edwin" she spid, tell these chil- | dren of mine to stop their nonsense"
New Britain herald., 1924-02-02

All my life I have been used Co dealing with people with a high hand. l think one of the things that has come down to me from my Puri- tan ancestors has been the central ized idea that everything do is right, that my standards arc the right standars-at least the right standards for me. And have never thought very much of what my &C., tions might mean to the other fellow.
 Now. of course, l always have 10 be thinking of Leslie and Leslie's standards. Lesiie's feelings and, be- ing what I am, I seldom hit upon inc right thing. l cannot seem to get into her orbit. Things which think she will not mind at all almost break her heart and things that I think she is going to make a fuss over she does not say a word about.
 No matter how much you think you understand women, Syd. you will never know them until you arc married to one. Even then you will not know much about them as a whole, for I sincerely believe every woman is an absolutely individual specimen. Nothing that I learned from Paula Perier has helped me in any way with Leslie.
 Just at present Leslie has become more intimate with Ruth Ellington than with any other woman of her acquaintance. or course, I think it was because she felt sorry for Ruth ID the first place. But whatever it might be that started the friendship. il has grown by leaps and bounds.
 You know. Of course, that Harry Ellington weiched me out of about a hundred and fifty thousand dollars due me In some stock deals where he acted as my broker. He also nearly wrecked my whole business life be- cause. if one of the principals in my company had found out that l was playing the market, it would have spelled out for me. Playing the stock market is one of their prohibit [ cd gambling games. Leslie, God bless her, went 10 her father and got | enough money to make good my losses. which in real money were I only about three thousands dollars. | Harry having drawn out the money | VIC had made by pyramiding and ab- seconded with it and another woman.
 He also left a great many others in the same boat. l have always felt. however, that something I did not know made Harry Ellington leave his friends in the lurch. I could not think that any man I had known as well as he could do such a thing. I zI-sox-r sh1r..k4 As. --fz h- ,-r.-r ] about him than she would tell.
 Here comes my new secretary. I'll finish this letter tomorrow.

1 The big surgeon smiled at her humoringly.
 Will you promise to be very care the work?" he asked.
 'Of course" she returned. I'm used to Lucy, and she's used to me. And she'll keep the others in order I'm not going to work, I'm just go- ing to be there, so that Harriet won't be nervous about her lovely things. And when everything is packed and stored wherever you want, I shall come back again."
 One thing more," her son-in-law persisted. You must let Dicky or Madge go with you"
 She put out her lip as a thwarted child might do.
 "I'm not an infant in arms" she began, and then capitulated royalty.
 Well, if I must, I must" she assented. T suppose it will have to be Richard"-her tone showed that she had not forgiven him-"for Mar garet and I ought not both to be so far away from Richard Second. Now. don't begin to tell me about your engagements with art editors, Richard" She turned vehemently upon her son, who had not opened his mouth. "You'll have plenty of time to get them all fixed up, be- cause there's no need of your going until after Harriet and Edwin take the children away. Besides, Mar garet ought to go with Harriet to New York right away. Those chil- dren will have to be outfltted from head to foot if they're going to go to France. and I will say for you, Margaret, you do know how to buy children's clothes"
