 Do you mean to stand there, Mar garet Graham. and tell mo that you put 2 hired girls convenience before my orders?"
 What 2 magnificent ngure she would have made in the old days when . queens favorite pastime was uttering the equivalent for "On with her head!' The thought fitted through my mind even as answered firmly:
 Forgive me. Mother. I am not telling you anything like that at all.

 You need not bother. I shall not come down to luncheon, nor shall I eat anything which anyone-any. one brings to this room.

Once Studied"
 Under Master
Pittsburgh Woman Was
 Paderewski's Pupil"

Pittsburgh, Pa. Oct. ReIn . house in Warsaw. Poland. many years ago . little girl struggled valiantly to master . difficult min- uet on . piano. but her small hands made the odds against her.
 A man. passing outside. stopped and listened to the music coming through an open window. The youthful pianist saw the man. and his presence made her nervous.
 Please 50 away" she said: T can't practise when you are stand- ing there listening"
 Maybe I can help you." the man said. smiling. The girl invited him in. Seating himself at the piano. the stranger played the piece a the composer intended it should N played.
 Depa rtins. the man told the girl he vas Paderewski. composer of the piece.
 Years passed. The girl grew to womanhood and the composer be- came the premier of Poland.
 Later. at reception for Pade- rewski at the Polish consulate in New York, Mrs Arthur Anderson of Pittsburgh was presented to tho pianist.
 You don't remember me-" she said. but I'm the girl you once played for in my home in Warsaw"
 Paderewski did remember. And they reminisced about the time the great pianist helped . little girl with her music lesson.

Pretty Girl
 Gets Slapped
This Is Great Beauty Aid,
 Rightly Done.

This Is the last of . series of articles on the simple five finger ex- erctses for the care of the com- plexion. In this installment. Ninon. writing for NEA Service. tells how to retain the firm and lovely flesh of the cheeks.
 BY NINON
 "Pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat" does much for beauty. At least slapping ones cheeks softly after an ice pack is . great help.
 This ts the staccato finger exer- else that drives tho rich color up into ones cheeks and by massag- 1 ing tho facial muscles helps them to retain their youthful contour. I have left this exercise pur- posely until the last because 1t is very important to the woman who craves beauty.
 Firmness of flesh is the boon of the teens. But If tho older woman is careful, she may retain that firmness many. many years It is all a matter of what you do to help it.. '-. Ten little fingers can help a lot. if you just train them and let them.
 Sit before your mirror after you have carefully washed and massaged your face. If possible give it an ice pack. If not, dash cold water upon 1t until you feel refreshed. Then take your place to start filling the role of She who not only gets slapped, but slaps herself"
 Start with gentle taps from all ten fingers, simultaneously. Throw your head up and look yourself in the eye This little exercise will gradually bring up the blood. give a sparkle to your eyes. make you lift your head high and. be- lieve 1t or not, will often be the little act that makes you realize you can really look alert and charming if you only will. Skipping the face gently should be an occurrence, twice daily. at least. If dressing after dinner for a party, 1t should be practiced just before you start putting on makeup. For of all the little fin- 1 ger exercises in this scale of beau ty. this one has the best psycho- logical effect. By giving color to the cheeks and starting the circu- lation of the blood thereby. a woman is stimulated to want to look her best. By looking ones very best and knowing it. wo- man has a head start along that path toward alluring charm which all women wish to traverse. Each of these exercises is sim pie. Each should be practiced in | conjunction with the others. For in order to have the greatest pos sible effect of beauty. a woman
 must watch every point of discord. And of all discord, nothing is stronger than wrinkles. in a face that would otherwise be young and appealing.
 Practice your little five-finger exercises and watch these wrin- kles disappear.

 ''Oh you needn't try to face me down about it," she said. misunder- standing the nature of my look. If you haven't sense enough to see that the girl is lying to you about getting 2 telegram, it's time somebody made you see. Who saw her get that tele- gram? Who brought it? Jerry Ticer?

 That part of her tirade did not worry me. for l knew that my ar- rogant mother-in-law would never stoop to question our neighbours son about our little maid. But her next demand brought me face to face with a disagreeable quandary.
 You're altogether too easy. Mar garrett" Dicky's mother said. as if she were talking to twelve year r-old child. Its time I took hand with this girl. Now you march down. stairs and tell her it's all nonsense. that you're not going to have your lunch hour changed for any of her whims."

It is not often in these later days of her life that she issues such an ultimatum as she had just given me. but when she does, and it ts disre- xarded, she makes things nightly uncomfortable in the household for . week at least.
 But I realized fully that could not yield to her. even if the Ques- ton at issue were something else than the breaking of my promise just given to my maid, In the early days of my marriage I realized that I must give deference to my mother in-law. but never obedience to her dictatorlal demands, lest I should find myself a serf in my own house. hold.

Health Hints
BY DR. NORRIS FISHBElN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hy-
 s.nla AlaA HIoAlfh NGnAa rfuA

bY LIN. MONNlS FlShbEIN Editor Journal of the American
 Medical Association and of Hy-
 geia, tho Health Magazine
 About this time of the year every one is having. has had or probably will have . form of common cold.
 The subject disturbs medical scientists. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent on re- search and vast sums are avail able to determine the cause and means of prevention of this com mon ailment. Yet the results of the Investigations have not been striking, and a specific method of either prevention or cure does not appear to be near.
 The director of public health for the Punjab in India. Dr. c. A. Gill. holds that the incidence of the common cold is definitely re- lated to the weather which affects the balance between the likelihood of infection and the resistance of the person concerned.
 British epidemiologists have found the temperature to be the factor most closely associated with death from infections of the breathing tracts, and esearch by the United States Public Health Service has tended to substantiate this view.
 The professor of hygiene in the University of Amsterdam has re- gently published statistics involv- ing an investigation of 37 sections of some 1000 people. He also found definite relationship be- tween changes in the temperature and the incidence of the common cold. as we'll as the mortality from diseases of the respiratory tract. It is his view that these dis eases occur in the human Lody after the physiologic defenses of the body have been weakened by disturbances of the heat regulat- ing apparatus. The Dutch investi- gator also found that the people studied had an average of more than four colds per person in 37 weeks.
 If 1t be accepted that difficulties with heat regulation for the lu- man body are fundamental to catching cold. the method of pre- vention obviously depends on some system of regulating the heat of the body and keeping it constant
 
 The noted British physiologist, Hill, believes that cold weather trings about a large group of colds through people being more inclined to shut themselves up in warm. stuffy rooms and to open fewer windows. Associated with this Is the difficulty in keeping the clothing of the body regulated to changes in the external tenn perature.

The first one Sammy Jay saw after leaving Jimmy Skunk was Peter Rabbit. You see. Sammy had flown directly over to the dear Old Briar- patch. As soon as he saw Sammy, Peter knew that Sammy had news.
 What are you carrying on your mind this time. Sammy Jay" asked Peter.
 How do you know I am carrying anything on my mind at all?" snap ped Sammy Jay.
 ''I can tell by the looks of you. Sammy" said Peter. You can't fool me. You've got some news. l can see it in your eyes. What is it, Sam my?'
 What would you say" replied Sammy, "if I should tell you that Jimmy Skunk met with an acci- dent?"
 II would say 1t is too bad" re- piled Peter. 'I hope it isn't serious
 What would you say" continued Sammy. If I should say that that accident is the result of m attack on Jimmy"
 T should say that somebody had been very foolish" replied Peter promptly Who was it?"
 That don't know" repied Sam my. but Jimmy Skunk has tear in his coat and he is walking on three legs, because one leg is lame. That tear in his coat was made by | claw. Now. who do you suppose would dare attack Jimmy Skunk"
 No one With any sense at all" re- piled Peter. "A silly dog who had never seen him before and didn't know anything about him might do it. but I cannot imagine any one who knows anything about Jimmy Skunk trying such a thing"
 Neither can l." said Sammy. "and ] certainly would like to know who 1t was."
 Sammy flew of to spread the news through the Green Forest and the Old Orchard. Peter sat for long time in the dear old Briar-patch. wondering who it could be that had dared to attack Jimmy Skunk. First he would scratch one long ear with a long hindfoot: then he would scratch the other long ear with the other long hindfoot. Peter seems to think it helps him to think when he does this Of course. it doesn't really.
 There are Old Man Coyote" said Peter 10 himself. and Mrs. Coyote and Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reddy and Yowler the Bobcat and Buster Bear any one of whcm would be glad of a dinner of Jimmy Skunk; yet no one of them but knows all about Jinmy's little scent-gun and is wise enough to keep respectful distance from Jimmy. In fact. l can't imag- inc any one who would dare take a chance, even if he had surprised Jimmy. I wonder who it could have been."
 Now Peter never can sit still very long when he is curious about some thing. So after while, when little Mrs. Peter had her head turned, Peter slipped out of the dear Old Briar-patch and started lippery-lip- perty-lip across the Green Meadows for the Green Forest. He wanted 10 find out who had dared to attack Jimmy Skunk and there was no chance of finding out anything Of that kind if he remained in the dear  Old Briar- patch.
 T wonder who 1t could have baen," he kept saying with each hop he made. 'I wonder who 1t could have heen.'
