 Did he mean to ignore the incl dent of the jewels altogether? It seemed so as he set chairs for us. and grinned impudcntly at Harry Underwood. But I noticed that his eyes did not once meet mine.

French Women Fight
 To Play PelOte Game

Paris, Jan. 23. R-Women may practice any sport but pclote in Paris. They have tried for years to be permitted but the association that controls the picturesque Basque game regards woman as unable to stand the strain. They may, how ever. play a variety of the game called ''raquette." reputed to be a near ancestor of tennis.
 Pelote 1s akin to handball in the ory. The ball is propelled against a wall from the "chistera," a long narrow basket strapped to the wrist. shaped so that it is some thing like an elongated hand.
 Women are seldom permitted to play pelote in the Basque country, along the Spanish border, but a group Of Basque girls living here are determined to break down the barriers.

Dsc&y's Noachalaace, Alter Hts Ftossn4ali0a of Jewels to Ed1tt

 Al the voices of Dicky and Edith Fairfax in their astounding colloquy came to my ears, I felt the primitive impulse to dash into the adjoining room and demand an explanation of the gift which Edith was protesting, and which he had told her made her Hook like million dollars"
 Jewels of course-that was indi- cated by Dicky's gibing reassur- rance-"It isn't as if they were real, you know" wondered wearily how long it had been since Dicky had made me a gift of the eNquisitely fashioned ''new" jewelry which he admires inordinately.
 There! Look at yourself" ! guessed that he had swung her around facing mirror. Aren't you the spiffy looking dame, though? :? You haven't the heart to hand 'em hack after you've lamped yourself in 'em, have you?"
 It was an impossible situation, with Dicky and Edith ignorant of our presence, and with every word they uttered audible to us. Only Harry Underwood could have saved it. and with chasacteristic audacity he sent out a you'd Hello! there. as he strode to the door between the two rooms and threw it open.
 "Aha! the iools." he said pointing melodramatically at Edith who was looking at her bedecked reflection in the mirror. From her ear de- pended exquisitely shaped dark blue stones beautifully set. while around her neck was a chain of the same stones. Her eyes met mine in the naA'~or. and for a quick instant I saw . hostile defiant glare in them. Then she turned round with cool little smile upon her lips as Harry Underwood continued giving neither her nor Dicky a chance for speech.

Talks to Parents
HELPING MOTHER
By Alice Peale

When first the toddler comes into the kitchen to watch mother cook and bake and sweep and wash dishes he is fascinated by her occu- pations and instinctively wants to help. Of course he Is a nuisance, and many mothers make the mis- take of sending him away or of making him feel that he is unwel- come.
 Years later these same mothers wonder why Helen cant even fry an egg and why Henry is so awk- ward about the house that he spills or breaks everything he lays hands on. They complain that their chil- dren are selfish and uncooperative, that they expect to have everything done for them.
 This is the price paid in the home in which the child's first ef- forts to be helpful were discour- aged because they happened to be inconvepient.
 The child whose first association with household tasks is one of chill rebuff has thereby fixed in his mind an unpleasant connection be- tween homework and disapproval. Later. when he is called on to do his share. the old connection holds and he can never perform his chores as anything but dreary duty. But the younes,cr whose first associations with iiousework were happy ones is likely to feel in the lomely tasks the satisfaction of re- responsibilities well met.
 The little one who wants to help with the dishes should be given a towel and allowed to dry the less breakahle things. When mother lakes he should have corner Of the board 10 work on and a piece Of dough which he can roll and pat into little pan and put into the oven beside mothers big pie. In . hundred little ways he can be giv- cn the joy of feeling that he is con- trihuting his share of work in the home.

 1lle Health Magazine

the Health Magazine.
 The problem of the child who shutters is just beginning to receive scientific consideration by specialists in psychology and medicine.
 The studies are beginning 10 bring out facts which emphasize the reIa- tionship of stuttering to the work ings of the mind and of the brain. Doctors Orton and Travis are giving special attention to the relationship of ht-handedness and lcft-hand- edness to the phenomenon of stut- tering.
 Reading, Writing, Speaking
 Several previous investigators have reported cases of left-handcd chill dren who developed stuttering when they were forced 10 become right handed. One investigator reported eight cases of delayed development of speech due to this cause. pr. Orton found instances in which there were disturbances of speech and even of the ability to read and write associated with stuttering. and with the use of the right hand in persons normally left handed.
 In q recent investigation attempts were made to find out to what extent motion of the arms and hands were related to the phenomenon of stut- tcring. Electrical devices were used to record motions.
 People who spoke normally, in the vast majority of cases, used the right hand first. In only one instance was there any variation and that con- cerned a player of tennis and hand ball who seemed able to use the right and left hands with approNi- matcly equal facility.
 Seventeen right-handed sufferers were examined by the same mcchan- ism, including four who had chang cd from the left hand 10 the right in childhood. In only three of these cases did the electrical device indi- cate q desire to use the right hand previous to the left.
 The results seem to show definitely some relationship between the hand edness of the persons concerned and their speech ability.
 They are an indication of the possibility for the future in getting at the causes of stuttering and in low i ering the incidence of this embar- rassing and disturbing disability. ! Copyright 1929, NEA Service Inc.

MODES COME AND co, BUT WINTER
 SPORTS CARE GOES ON FOREVER
BY JEAN PATOU EM NEA Service

Paris. Jan. 23.-He who would ever attempt to change anything in the composition of what is known as winter sports clothes would be taking . very risky step. These are clothes that have survived many decades of variations in wom- ems attire for the good reason that they are emincntly suitable for the use made of them. Those people who at different times have at- tempted to ignore the recognized theme have found themselves cov- cred with ridicule.
 In the first place it is inadmis- sible that anyone should see the need of placing any trimming on a costume that not only requires none but would prove to be con- siderablely hampered by it. The perfect skiing outfit in my opinion is that which allows a woman per- feet freedom of movement and also enables her to cover or uncover herself at will. That is a reason why prefer to the sweater fitting close to the neck with roll collar that which can be worn open or closed. Any woman who knows anything about skiing in Europe will admit that one never suffers from cold. To bear this statement out, I would cite those youths who. at such attitudes as 10000 feet, go skiing without feeling any the worse for it.
 The "Why' of Jackets
 A point to be remembered when contemplating winter sports clothes is that woolens such as g. sweater retain the snow, therefore the mois- ture, and the ideal snow suit is consequently one made of closely woven and waterproof material. It is for this very reason that the jacket figures as an integral part Of the outfit it would be quite an un- necessary item in fine weather, its role being purely protective one.
 Originality or fantasy permitted in skiing ensembles are restricted to the designs on sweaters. cap and scarf, provided always that they are artistic and in good taste. Any color however loud, passes muster on the snow, but beware of too indulgent a mixture of loud tones. Anyhow, why risk looking ridicu- lous by the use of too wide range of coIors when the same color used in three or four different shades gives such charmingly decorative results?s
 A habit which I deplore in many women skiiers is that of removing
New Britain herald., 1929-01-23

the charming cap they usually start out with. It is generally becoming, much more so than a dishevelled head.
 Variety for Skaters
 There is moro latitude for nov city in the skating suit, at any rate so far as the skirt is concerned. The whole question consists of the many ways in which ampleness can be achieved and there are skirts to suit all tastes-pleated, circular. wrapover. etc. In an attempt to break the monotony of previous years I created skating costume in black water proof velvet com

she realized just what had happen cd. She looked up among the shad owy rafters and srowled. You're thief" she snarled. That rat waa mine! You wait! Some day I'll catch you. You're a robber and a thief"
 But from up in the shadowy rafters there came no reply. Spooky was too busy. AS long as there is such good hunting, I shall stay here." he was thinking. and didn't even look down at Black Pussy the Cat.

 Although the skiing outfit, too, necessitates a choice of dark col- lors, I created for a change one in deep red and very dark green as an alternative to the black dark greys and browns of previous sea- sweaters in the same color, but two or three shades lighter, always keeping well within the strictly sporting character of the suits themselves.

Black Pussy. Farmer Browns Cat. dearly loves to hunt mice and squirrels and birds. In other words. she dearly loves to hunt. It isn't that she needs them or wants them for food. It is for the pleasure of hunt1.g them. Now, in winter when the snow is on the ground, there is very little hunting for Black Pussy, excepting in Farmer Browns barn. So she goes out to Farmer Browns barn every day to hunt for mice and young rats. She isn't so eager for full grown rats. Both rats and mice are almost always to be found in all most any barn. That is because there is always food there in the way of grain. and because there are so many hiding places.
 It was the day after the big storm that Black Pussy went over to the barn. There was no other place to go. She entered the baCn through the little swinging door that had been provided for her.
 
 ward the grain bin. She had learned that there was where she would most likely see mouse or young rat. Sure enough, there. close to the grain bin, was young rat. very busy eating little grain that had been spilled. Close by was a hole. He was too near that hole for j Black Pussy to make a rush, with any chance of catching him. She would have 10 steal up on him. ; So, crouching close to the floor Black Pussy stole forward very, very slowly and very, very carefully Only when the young rats head was turned the other way did she move and then only for a step. Her yellow eyes glowed with cagerness. Little by little, little by little, she crept nearer and nearer. The young rat did not notice her. He was too busy , stuffing himself with spilled grain. At last, Black Pussy was almost within jumping distance. If she could creep just step or two near
 
 spring on that young rat before he could reach the safety of that hole
 That fellow is mine" thought Black Pussy. ''He can't get away from me. In just a minute now I'll have him." She stole forward an- ether step. Then. gradually, she drew her hind feet under her and prepared to spring. Just as she was going to spring that rat disappeared. Yes. sir, that young rat disappeared, He disappeared right up in the dusk of the upper part of the barn. Black Pussy was so astonished that for a moment or two she didn't move. She simply stared up. as if she couldn't believe what she saw. What she saw was the shadowy out line of bird and, hanging below it., was the young rat she had been so sure of. It had been taken from right under her very nose Then bird and rat disappeared above the rafters.
 Of course you have guessed who
 
 most under the nose Of Black Pussy the Cat. It was Spooky the Screech Owl, who had been driven into the barn during the storm few days before and now was making himself at home there. From his perch on a raftcr he had looked down and seen that young rat He had seen Black Pussy, too. He had seen her when she first entered the barn and he had watched her patiently steal ing toward that young rat. Then, without making a sound-for you know his wings are noiselcss - Soooky had clided down and picked 'lp that young rat
 Seldom has Black Pussy been in a wsrse temper than she was when
