But, Helena, you've only been mar

could any one be bored with you?
You have every quality to attract a
man who loves you
"A man who loves you. man who
loves you"' The phrase kept repeat
ing itself in Helena's brain. What
If John didn't love her! What if he
had tired of her before their marriage.
They had been engaged year. And
then those things Natalie had said
kept repeating themselves. too.
Fred couldn't stand it to be engaged
for that time. He wanted her to
marry him at once. And the way
Fred looked at Natalie. AS IL he

This evening the Stewards, across
the hall, asked us over to play bridge,
so we turned down the fire under
some stuff Joan was cooking and
left the doors Of both apartments
open so we could hear the baby If
he woke up and cried.
After a while Mr. Stewart showed us
how to play memory bridge. There

rushed back, and whatever Joan was
cooking, was all burned up, because
she had forgotten that, too, and she

Our Children
Report Cards.

When a child brings home a bad
report card the parents are angry at
the child, annoyed at the teacher,
opposed to the school. Somebody ls
to blame.
Somebody surely is to blame. but
that somebody Is seldom either the
teacher or the teaching staff that
makes the school. The best teacher
in the world can only offer a child
lesson. If the child either cannot or
will not accept that lesson the teacher
cannot help it.
Sometimes 1t is because the child Is
not ready for the lesson. He has fall
ed to catch the point of one given a
few days before. and so loses the next
step. If that happens once or twice
II means a bad Job. The child fails
and the record says so.
It may be that the failing child Is
not doing his best. He may be think
ing of something else rather than MS
lessons. If his mind Is on the team,
if II Is on the fight he Is having with
the boy next door, II 1t Is on the new
dress the girl saw in the window last
Saturday, no lesson will register.
Somewhere there Is a reason for the
failure. If you had the reason you
would have your finger on the cure
The bad mark is nothing more tnan
a record of what has happened for
some time back. If you had known
1t was happening you might have help
ed the child over the hard place and SO
prevented his failing and getting the
poor rating.
Don't wait until the end of the
month before knowing what Is going
on. Look over the child's home les
sons every evening, and II you see
signs Of slowing up in any one OF
them, write in to the teacher and ask
about it. She will not like to send you
q note because your child failed to
10 his home work for a couple OF
nights or neglected his spelling list OF
forgot to learn his grammar rules
But If you see a falling off in his
work and ask about it, she will be
happy to let you hear from her.
Train the child 20 give you accurate
reports of what he does in class. II
you encourage him when he fails. II
you take it as a matter Of course, an
occasion for teaching instead OF
preaching, he will be glad to tell you
the truth If you scold him for every
failure as if it were a crime, he will
not tell you. and the report card will
come as a shock to you.

$50 YEARS AGO TODAY

this vicinity this year. Today's atten-
ton to the Highlands is in prepara-
tion for next Summers campaign, for
it is certain that the enemy army un-
der Carleton and Burgoyne will again
advance into the Hudson Valley as
soon as the season permits.
But for the time being every en-
ergy must be directed against Howe,
whose next move, Washington be-
lieves. will be into the Jerseys, with
Philadelphia as his main objective. To
guard against further British at
tempts along the Hudson, Gen. Heath

$500 men, but with orders to cross
over to Jersey If the enemy should
remove the greater part of thir force
to that section. The Maryland and
Virginia Continentals and part of
those from the Jerseys have already
crossed over, and Gen. Greene has
been at Fort Lee for some days.
Gen. Washington was much vexed
today to learn that the Massachusetts
and Connecticut Assemblies, in order
to induce men to enter the Army SER
vice more readily, have decided to
offer recruits 20 shillings a month, in
addition to the pay allowed by Con-
gress. "a more fatal and mistaken
policy could not have entered into
their councils" says the general If
one or two States do this, he says, the
rest will have to do the same, lest
jealousies, impatience and mutinies
arise when men from the various
States meet in camp and discover
that some are receiving more pay
than others. He has given his views
emphatically to Congress and per-
suaded Massachusetts and Connect.

Couture for a Full Face.

Dear Lois Leeds: Please tell me
how to wear my hair. 1 have a full
face, light complexion. high forehead
and s wear glasses. My hair is blond.
but is turning darker. How may ]
keep it light?-A Constant Reader.
Answer-Center parts are usually
more becoming to girls who wear
glasses than side parts are. Part
your hair in the middle, therefore,
and let it wave over forehead and
temples, but keep it fairly close to the
sides of your head. If your hair is
bobbed, let the ends curl up on your
cheeks. Avoid the very short coiffure
that allows the ears to show. If your
neck is short and thick, wear shingle
bob or arrange a coil rather high at
the back. If your neck is long and
thin, wear your hair low on the nape
in coil or twist and avoid the bob.
