HOW IT STARTED
Calling It a Zine. :"
BY JEAN NEWTON.

HE was fined $40 for speeding
and that isn't the end. He's on pro-
baton, to have his license revoked
at the next offense."
The word fine" which we use so
commonly in modern speech for a
pecuniary penalty, has changed a
shade or two from its original sig
nificance. For in it's early days a
fine would have been the end, while
in the instance we have quoted it
was only the beginning of the Of
tenders troubles. 49,.
Derived from the Latin "f1nis,
meaning end, the word fine" has
the specific significance, in low
Latin. of a final agreement involving
a sum of money which would make
an end of transaction or dispute
or suit or prosecution. According to
old feudal law the payment of a fine
put an end to property or rent dis
putes between lord and his vassal,
the fine constituting a final concord
or Judgment.
F:tymologically- speaking. fine
may be synonymous with finish or
end" but that does not help the
modern offender against the law, who
though he pays his fine needs only
to repeat his offense to find his diff.
culties beginning all over again! Also
in the instance where the judge says,
Filmed $100-and 80 days." 1t would
be necessary to recall the shades of
old powers TO make that 500 fine
the end '"''

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Child Who Is Too Fat.

The fat person is always an object
for merliment, be he old or young,
and the child who is burGened with
too much fat is a pitiful object only
because he lacks the philosophy of
the adult, who can bear with taunts
and gibes at his figure and appear.
ance.
One naturally feels that q thin
child is thin because he gets too
little to eat, and this condition the
mother feels is her fault and she is
a bit ashamed of it. On the con-
trary, she isn't ashamed Of a child
being too fat because even if the con-
dition Is not an esthetic one she
thinks 1t Is quite apparent that the
child is getting plenty of good food.
Instead she should feel as ashamed
Of her child being overly fat as she
is of his emaciated condition. He may
be fat and still be badly fed, because
he is getting far too much of the
fat-making foods for his body to use
up and so the excess is stored away
as fat. The mother should realize
that fat is an indication of her liz.
norance of food values and the child 8
Indulgence in fats and starches rather
than those foods which build muscles
and bones.
The very fact that a child is fat
makes 1t harder for him to take the
amount of exercise necessary to use
up the excess fatty foods, so that the
condition grows worse instead of bet
ter. If mothers could read the let
ters which come to me from girls of
~ or IA who long to know how to re-
duce themselves so that they won't
be objects for deris1on, one would not
consider the subject trivial one,
even If no matter of health were con.
cerned, which, of course. it Is.
Children suffer a sense of inferiority
when they differ markedly from ether
children of their age, which affects
their whole lives.
In addition, fat children, because of
their very clumsiness, are liable to
falls and injuries which the more
agile, thin child escapes.
1t has been suggested. that a safe
way to help the fat child is to keep
him at stationary weight, by Il cor
receive diet, until his height and
weight are in accord. His consump-
ton Of fatty and starchy foods should
be reduced and he should be given
| more fruits and vegetables, and one
day week the child may take only
| soups, vegetables, fruit juices and
| milk without bread or other starchy
foods. AS he loses excess fat his
ability to exercise more strenuously
! will help still further in his reduc.
ton. Keep in mind that the child
needs milk and eggs, he needs vege
tables and fruits and some bread
stuffs, but he does not need so many
sweets; nor does he need to eat any
Of these foods in such quantities as
he has been in the habit of taking.
1t is taken for granted in suggest
Ing a reduction diet that his fat
comes from overeating and not from
some physical disturbance which only
medical treatment can cure.

CHAPTER XIV.
Arthur.

AS a matter Of fact, Perry was right.
Natalie did know that Lucien Bartlett
was married. But she also knew that
he attracted her far more than the
single men in her set. There was
something so gravely deferential in
his manner toward her, something de-
lightfully stimulating. 1t was as
thong Lucien thought Of her as being
fashioned from some very precious,
fragile material. as though he We're
grateful for seeing her and being with
her.
The fact that he was married bother
ed Natalie not at all.
She had none of Martha's views on
the subject.
She wasn't in the least sorry for
Lucien'S wife a woman she had never
met. but about whom she had certain,
very definite ideas.
Natalie blamed Mrs. Bartlett because
she hadn't been able to hold her hus
band. She did not pity her, she was
much too young and intolerant for
that. Instead. she felt vast and
overwhelming impatience with her.
If Lucien had been a villain, II he
had run after women because he was
bored at home, IL he had been unse-
lective and undiscriminating, Natalie
might have felt differently. AS it was,
she knew that he was fine, and that
he was genuinely devoted to her. That
she was fond Of him, that she liked
him at times far more than she ought,
was vaguely troublesome, but only
vaguely so. AT such times Natalie
! succeeded In throttling her conscience.
| Her motto was. Take what the gods
provide" And 80 she went on seeing
Lucien Bartlett. meeting him at down
town hotels. and in that way thinking
| that her friendship with him would
be unnoticed.
AS 1t happened, however. on this
particular evening she had been seer
not only by Perry Macdonald, but by
some one else whom she encountered
in the lobby. That some one else was

A very good and simple way

which a lump Of soda has been
dissolved, then dip it in emery

Brooms that have been stood

Put a half-filled kettle on the

SUB ROSA
You Cannot Do Both.
BY MIMI.

Strange as it may seem, there are
still some girls in the world-and a
great many older women--who are
interested not only in attracting men
but in forming real friendships with
members of their own sex.
In most cases the former desire out
weighs the latter. but still there Is a
real demand for information as to
how 10 attract woman friends.
We have discussed this before, and
we have decided that what attracts
men has nothing to do with what
makes women like you.
Now today there Is another point
to be considered. All Of you who tell
me that, while you're most anxious
10 have some real girl pals you're
still more concerned with fascinating
men-all Of you must realize that you
| cannot do both things at the same time.
III you're at a tea, for instance, one
afternoon. and you're very keen on
making good impression with the
women present. just forget all about
the good-looking men who may be
there.
If you set yourself out to please
other women--you can do it, no mat
ter how difficult they may be.

more--the members OF your own sex

If. on the other hand. you deter
minedly try to please the men pres
ent you won't please many OF the
wonen-thats a cinch.
If you show off to their best ad-
vantage what wits and charm you
have the men will be interested-but
the women will meow.
One very clever girl I know came
In to see me ther other day. She's

some of the girls will like me. At
