III LORA CARTWRIGHT closed
kj the door of Vera Cameron's
bedroom upon herself and
spoke in grimly determined voice
to her niece, whom she had sur
prised in the act of contemplating
her brand new beauty in the mir
ror of her dressing table.
IT want to know exactly what
this means. You leave this apart
ment Just three weeks ago an old
fashioned, spinsterish young woman
and you come back tonight a stun
ming beauty, dressed like Fifth
Avenue Easter parade and with an
adoring male in tow.
I've come for the story and I'm
going to get it if I have to sit on
your chest and pull the words out
of those fascinating lips of yours"
"All right, Aunt Flora" Vee-Vee
smiled in spite of her WEAKNESS, II
should have invited you in for bed
time condolences but I thought you'd
be engroSsed with young Peter for
an hour or two more and I wanted
to get to bed early. I'm dead"
"You don't look it," Flora retort-
ed, with slight edge to her voice.
"And I may as we'll confess that

over you. I sent him away, and
told him not to come back. I've
been trying to get rid of him for
three weeks and I don't want you

'Oh, Aunt Flora, I'm sorryI He
did act like perfect idiot, kissing
my hand good night and all that
rot. But he adores you, Aunt Flora.
Listen, dear, We'll prepare for bed
together. You bring your creams
and things in here and I'll do my
face and hands at the same time"
It'll use yours" Flora retorted, be-
ginning to open the fascinating con-
tainers with avid fingers. ''They
must be magic. All right. Out with
the whole story She drew up
chair beside Vera's and began to
smear her face with the scented
Peach Bloom Cleansing Cream.
Vera, her own fingers flying over

confessed in a frightened voice.
Down underneath I'm still timid
girl that has never even had a pas

"And won't you wish me luck?"
Flora suggested sweetly.

Companionate Wedding
 Of Girl Gets Approval
(Contlnueu rom rage one.)

Star, said she wished to distin. guish between the confusion ex- isting in the public mind between marriage on a companionate basis and trial marriage"
 Josephine and Aubrey certain. ly are going into it in all earnest ness and with full intention of making lifelong success of it,' Mrs. Haldeman-Julius said at her home in Girard.
 "One hesitates to use the terrl 'companionate marriage only b.. cause it so often and wilfully is misunderstood and likely to be confused in the public mind with trial marriage, which is exactly the opposite.
 Any marriage in which neither husband nor wife assumes all the financial responsibility is, stric.- ly speaking, companionate mar riage. There are thousands oI them in this country, particularly among young people in business, but they have not become as fire. quent as one would desire in our colleges. They are the answer to changed economic conditions in which, whether or not one likes 1t, woman has become the com petitor of man."

1.-THE MIDNIGHT KISS"
 AT LIBERTY TONIGHT

"The Midnight Kiss" Fox Films version of Pigs" the play that kept Broadway chortling for moLshs, and produced for Fox Films under the direction of Irv- ing Cummings, comes to the Lio- erty tonight.
 The charm of the picture lies in the simplicity and human qual- ity of. the plot. Tommy Atkins Junior around whose medical ex- ueriments and business deals the story revolves is nothing more than a younger son of an aver1ge American family. A real boy in every respect with healthy dis regard for the female of the sps cies and big ideas of what he wants to accomplish as man.
 Mildred Hastings is delightful little Miss, a tomboy all her life, whose right to the swimming hole is never disputed by any of the boys in the neighborhood. But Mildred is romanticist and she thinks Tommy Junior is wonder full and is determined to marry him sooner or later.
 Lenore, her sister, is the belle of the town, ruling over her court Of ddoring swains with all the diplomacy of an experienced flirt. Spencer Atkins. Tommy's folder bfother, is a lawyer by college training and an embryo poet by inclination. Incidentally he is hopdlessly in love with the flirta- tioua Lenore and doesn't quite hnoW what to do about it.

COMMEMORATE MARRIAGE"
 IS DENOUNCED BY BISHOP

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 2-Thc family is the backbone of the state, Bishop Warren A. Candler of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, declared in an interview on the celebration of his golden wedding anniversary.
 The bishop expressed himself as believing the modern genera tion is not sufficiently conscious of the sanctity of the marriage re- lation.
 People talk today of 'compan- ionate marriage and such rot, l" he said. "Of course, right think ing speople do not subscribe to such things. Under that system a man would obtain a wife under bond for title and get rid of her by quit claim deed."

from the lower step across the puddle
of molasses and over this Farmer
Brown and Mother Brown walked
without getting in the sticky mess.
Then all three went to look in the
preserve cellar. There on the floor
lay broken preserve jars, with Sirup
spatted all about and some of the
fruit. But there was no Cubby there.
The sight Of that preserve closet
was more than Mother Browns good
nature could stand. Her eyes flashed.
i've stood all I'm going to-" she
declared grimly to Farmer Browns
Boy. when you catch that Cub again
you march him right back to the Green
Forest and let him go. I've had all
/ want and a little more than l want
of pet Bears. He goes straight back
to the Green Forest and the sooner
you get him there the better I'll like
it. Now where is the black imp"
A hasty look through the preserve
closet showed that Cubby was not
there There was evidence enough
that he had been observation-disclosures
no hiding place for even small Bear
in there. ...,.-......,
He heard us coming and he has
hidden somewhere here in the cellar
declared r dTIner BfOWn. = remember
now that early this afternoon I found
the outside cellar doors open and
closed them. That Cub must have
been in here then and>I shut him in.
The rascal has been having a high old
time, and I guess every drop of
molasses is out of that barrel. I'll
open up the outside doors and we'll
chase him out that way"
So Farmer Brown opened up the
bulkhead doors and the hunt for
Cubby was resumed. AS Farmer
Browns Boy approached some barrels
there was a sudden scurry behind
them and out darted a small black
form. Farmer Browns Boy grabbed
at him, but missed him. Farmer
Brown jumped to catch him as he
started for the open bulkhead. Cubby
lodged and then made straight for the
stairs that led up to the kitchen.
Straight through the puddle Of
molasses he galloped and up the cellar
stairs to the kitchen, while Mother
Brown shrieked and Farmer Brown
and Farmer Browns Boy said unkind
things about him. Then Farmer
Browns Boy, forgetting all about his
sticky shoes, started up after Cubby
as fast as he could go.

Yonr Baby and Mine


Hold the tiny baby's hands forcibly
and he'll begin to cry. He is unmis.
takably manifesting his anger at his
freedom being restrained. Anger is
an instinct which shows itself very
early in life.
The older child becomes angry
when he suffers an affront of any
kind. Take away the childs toys
and give them to another child and
it will be a strange child who won't
resent it and sulk and cry. That
same child would be quite willing to
lend his toys if the mother would al
low him to do it himself, but he con-
siders it an affront to his generosity
and to his feelings as the owner to
have this privilege taken away from
him forcibly. The chances for a child
to exhibit anger are SO manifold. His
relations with his own family and
his schoolmates are always bringing
up situations which are blow to his
self-respect, pride, sensitiveness, and
SO on. No wonder the child early
learns to cultivate his anger instinct.
The still older child exhibits a new
form Of anger. This takes the form
of indignation. Remember Willie
Baxter and his terrible indignation at
James publicly eating bread and but
ter and apple sauce? The adolescent
is always being indignant about some
thing or other. This is because Of
his newly awakened self-consciousness
and his constant resentment against
fancied ridicule of his character, his
characteristics or those Of his fam
lily. Children are always running
home. hot with Indignation, because
some one has cast an aspersion at
Aunt Anne's funny walk, or dads
propensity for green ties. In later
years they will laugh themselves
but not in the teens. These are Sc.
rious defamations Of their family.
These emotions are natural. They
create energy. The lazy person is
slow TO anger because it Is too much
trouble. Led in the right direction
anger accomplishes miracles. For
anger against our own puny selves
leads us to attempt and accomplish
otherwise impossible feats.
To let anger go Embarrassed in.
stead of working it out harmlessly
and to good ends, makes the person
the slave of the emotion instead Of
using it as a motive power. One
doesn't need need to be told that
when anger is allowed to go uncheck-
ed or undirected it becomes as de-
moralizing n force as drink or drugs.

Success FOR Women i'm Club Life
BY LYDIA lie BARON WALKER

etiquette and business procedures are
recognized as important to hollow.
And while there are certain pnrlia-
mentary methods of conducting meet
ings that must be known for even
any small club to be we'll managed.
there are also many little details Of
social procedure that are sometimes
overlooked and vet which make or
mar the genial atmosphere for every
one. 1t is of some of these l would
speak today.
Those who have the good Of club
at heart will consider carefully the
suitability of the person to the par
ticular club when they wish to pro-
pose the name for membership. 1t
is not enough that she is n good
friend who would like to join. The
question is, rather, will she fit in
we'll with the group? Is she fond of
the things for which the club stands?
VIII she work amiably for the best
of the club, or will she not mix well?
In other words. is she what is known
as "cluhable"? If she has the de-
TO have her made a member, for the
club life will be the better for her
entrance.
Discrimination.
One thing that has to be consid-
cred fully is whether or not n new
member will attempt to usurp con-
troll. There are persons who have
gift for management, yet who are
so retiring about assuming charge
that friends have to draw them out
and see that they have opportunity
to work for the club in some official
cfj
sons who itch to assume command,
and who will shove and push their
way ahead to the desired goal, re-
gardless Of whether they are new
or old members. 1t is risky to bring
one of these persons into a group
where precedent is followed and good
fellowship prevails. There is sure to
be annoyance when a new member
forges ahead of older ones. So pick
new members with discrimination
when proposing names.
Entertaining.
In putting up friends at club
where non-members can have the
courtesics of a club extended to them,
there are several things to be re-
1t may be that the club
is used instead of the home for any
one of many reasons, such as lack
of servants or illness at the home,
when friends who are travelling are
in town, etc. Then the same care to
entertain them is attempted as if the
club were the hostess own house.
But this condition does not always
follow, unless the friend is an inti-
mate one. The fact that you have
given privileges not otherwise possi-
BILE to enjoy is in itself a courtesy.
The acquaintance who is accorded
such a privilege should be most ap-
preciative, without feeling sighted if
personal attentions are few.
