She pirouetted around gracefully,
white arms waving above her head,
slim legs flashing back and forth
from beneath her abbreviated skirt.
She needed spanking. She was a
spoiled child who was willing to make
every one else unhappy to gain her
own ends. And yet, she was sweet

arms and had kissed that scarlet
mouth. Of course, he knew that 1t was
scarlet because she had used lip

any the less sweet.

of black satin. Your mask fits beau

He was telling himself that this

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

There is the old story about the
mother who went - view her son In
parade and when she found him out
Of step she said proudly:
They're all out of step but Jim!'
This is the attitude most mothers
take toward their infants. They want
them to be like the rest of the babies
but when they find them different
they are inclined to believe that 1t is
only because their baby Ia exceptional
and, the others all wrong.
There Is another way OF looking
at this same thing. and almost as
fails to rear her child so that he
UP for babies, she feels sure that moi

Is at fault,
Her baby doesn't sleep nights be
cause 1t is 80 active. It doesn't ca.
because 1t doesn't like this and thai
and the other thing. She can always
find an excuse, and the excuse seldom
is that she Is at fault for not HAVING
trained the child In his infancy Il
sleep and eat.
Babies do not need to be played
with in order to develop: they do not
need over-much handling. The loving
care given them when they are nurset
and bathed and the half hour or so Of
exercise before they are put into bee
for the night are enough mother
ing" to make them aware that this
is not cold and feelingless world
but a happy, safe one.
Some mothers seemingly take great
pride In pointing out how far theii
babies veer from the normal. II
means that they have been less pa,
tent In training them. or less wise ir
knowing how they should be trained
1t is of no benefit to the child te

one and only duty is to eat and sleer
and grow. and every opportunity
should be given him to DO Just these
three things.

healthy body for himself one car

mentality to At it. But there IL

Don't be noble, Mark. Remember
we can throw our masks off at any
moment and discount everything that
has been said. Are you in love with
Irene, or are you in love with Jessica
mean that IL by chance you should
love Jessica, what a shame to kill her
off and dispose of her. We might get
rid of Bunny instead. And remember
you don't know just who I am. I
might he either Bunny or Jessiea be-
hind this mask, Til ask you the aues-
ton again. Are you in love with
Irene?"
A sudden fury mounted in Mark.
She was making fun of him, She had
said that love-making between a mid.
dleaged couple was soreamingly funny.
She was getting even with him for
having carried her off. She had con.
coeted this absurd plot for no other
reason than revenge.
He forgot her sweetness, that Jes.
siea sweetness that was so insidieus,
and with sudden determination strobe
across the room and tore the mask

Benefic aspects dominate, tomorrow
according to astrology, which finds
the rule favorable for many activities
Women are well directed while this
rule prevails, and they should make
the most of all opportunities. business
and social.
Attention Is to be called to dress
problems in a peculiar way, the seers
foretell, and it will be discovered that
present modes have been significant
of coming needs.
This should be a favorable rule for
real estate interests.
Real patriotism is to be cultivated
in this year of 1927, when 1t will be
important to think nationally instead
OF personally.
Great development Is to take place
In methods of transmitting news and
seeming miracles are to be performed,
astrologers foreteil.
Chemistry now viii come much to
the front, and will be an agent of
great moment to the world. 1t is
prpgnosticated.
Persons whose birth date II is have
the augury Of many new friends and
numerous favors In the coming year.
Children born on that day will be
probably lucky all through life. Many
public fayorites are born under this
