it was her lunch hour-but
she didn't want to eat. She
had taken the morning off
when she heard that the
bank had failed. Now, she d
go back to work-start in
all over again. And worry
about what she was going
to say to Ed--and what Ed
was going to say to her.
She would listen to him
after this, Pooling their
money to buy a home had
been her idea. He didn't
want to do it, but he was
with a big organization
where raises came slowly
and he was now in line for
something big. He wasn't
going to marry until that
big promotion came, because
Sylvia would not have work
after marriage. He wouldn't
stand for that-not Ed.
Well, now they could live
in an apartment-if they
got married. Or they could
start saving for a home all
over again.
"I'd give a year of my
life if I knew Ed wouldn't
be mad" she thought-and
she meant it.
II wish you luck dear"
she said affectionately pat
ting the old woman on the
arm. ''I'm sure wen all
get something"
She turned and started for
the office.
A hand-a friendly hand,
grabbed her arm. She knew
without turning it was Ed.
He fell into step beside her.
"Had lunch, Honeyi" he
asked.
"Not hungry! Besides,
how can you think of eat
ing at a time like thisi"
"That's why I came up
here. I had a bunch you'd
be standing around-and
you were. That's the Sec
ond bunch I've had this
week, Honey"
She was silent. How could
he be so glibi
"Better have lunch" no
insisted.

were in crowded restau-
rant. There were no tables
for two, but they found
chairs at table beside two

There may be various
reasons for this. The tract
able child may just be the
type Of individual who likes
to have someone else think
for him, the person who will
always work better under a
boss. " This child should
be asked for suggestions as
to what he can do or wants
to do, rather than receiving
them always.
The child who always de-
fies suggestion may be more
inclined to leadership, liking
to plan and execute without
anyone help.
But, when child who has
shown no indication of de-
flying orders or rebelling
against pleasant, friendly
suggestions suddenly says
"No," it is well to delve
deeply for a reason. It may
be just a retarded sense of
self asserting itself, ego
against the world. Or it
may be jealousy of someone.
A child doesn't say "No"
just out of pure cussed-
ness" There is always a
reason, and perhaps the big
gest reason is that we drive,
suggest and command often
when it isn't necessary.
Let's try letting go, holding
the reins a little loosen most
of the time, but with abso-

easy to be friendly and nat

scarcely knew him.
"That's because I'm not

herself.

sobs.

she took the old woman's
arm, and dragged her back
to safety as a surface car

living field.

still had Ed. They had each
other-and they had youth.
They could start in all over
again, but this poor cid

her life. To her S., 100 was
everything.
Sylvia discounted her per-
sonal loss. If only she could
explain to Ed. How would
he take it? How could she
explain to him?
She remembered. Ed said
he would be out of town this
morning, but he was going
to try to be back early.
They were to go to a theater

bit of a celebration for to-

"Why didn't we buy that

asked herself. "The man

was explaining that the

A most conscientious
mother, who studied and OBJ
served and tried in every
way to be a helpful, con-
strustive parent, reached the
point one day when she
sank into a chair and said:
II don't know what's the

more. I've tried everything
I know to interest Mary,
but to every suggestion, no
matter how nice it is, she
says, No. flatly and con-

who are amenable to sug-
gestion for play or other oc-
equations. Then there are
some others who will do
anything except what some
one suggests. There are still
others who will go along
happily for a while, playing
on the porch when mother
suggests it, or coming in for
a nap without any ado what
soever, who suddenly, for no
apparent reason, decide on
the "No" policy. No mat

thought Ann Marie, safe in
her own decency. She knew
nothing about goId-diggcrs,
or the things that they
would do.
The front Of the house
was in darkness.
But there was a light in
the kitchen, and all the
rooms were filled with
Christmasy smell Of sage

Leasure was making for to-
morrow turkey.

CYLVIA paused on the
- edge of the crowd and
~ gazcd at the closed
bank doors with a feeling Of
vacancy surging through
her. How futile it all was.
There wasn't much chance
Of the bank opening that
day, and if it did there
wouldn't be much chance of
her getting to draw out
their account - the account
that she and Edgar had
saved for their nest egg
when they should become
man and wife.
The crowd was vicious,
sullen. Police reserves had
been called to this spot
where a group of swindled
and disgruntled depositors
were holding forth against
dismay. News of Steel
Brothers failure had spread
like news Of the Graf Zeppe-
lin passing over the city.
Throngs came, and others
stood by-just to watch the
crying, swearing, arrogant,
surging savers who had lost
out through eagerness to get
high rates of interest.
The crowd swelled. Traf-
fic was blocked. Sylvia on
the fringe of the throng
hoped against hope as she
saw three men push their
way through, with the aid of
policemen and go to the
door.
They're only from the
State banking department

A taxicab piloted, by a
daring driver was threading

her.

thought, carelessly, hope

explain to Ed, and we'll, two
years of savings were in

who had induced Ed to take
their joint account from a
bank where merely AZ per

Beside her a little woman,
poorly clad, waved her bank
book. The strident words of
her aged voice were quickly
absorbed in the noise from

Ann Marie had a sudden
vision Of him surrounded by
all the prettiest girls at the
club, like the leading man in

She sighed.

But the room was empty
that night when Ann Marie
arrived. She was taking off
her cape when the door
opened and a girl in q
maids black uniform came
hurrying in.
=" Want your coat
checked" she asked, and
at the sound Of her voice
Ann Marie turned quickly
and stared at her in aston
ishment.
"Why, Leota Ingram
How do you happen to be
here?" she asked. SIS Mrs.
MacBane sicki"
She couldn't imagine any
one hiring Leota Ingram to
take Mrs. MacBane's place
even for one evening . -
For LeOta was one of the
girls to whom nice people
didn't speak when they
passed her on the streets
of the town.
Leota had gone through
school in Howdy Mays
class, and once his father
had thrashed him for taking
Leota to the circus. Even
as a girl in her teens Leota
had not been "nice, +" SO
people said.
But whether she was
mice" or not, Leota was
pretty as a picture. Her
hair was red-gold and her
eyes We're gray and enorm-
GUS. She had dimples and
the sort of figure that Flor
ence Lawler never would
have if she starved herself
for a year.
"Yeh, Mrs. Ingram IS sick
with the flu, she said to
Ann Marie, "and they've
been tryin' to get somebody
to take her place all day
long. " Finally they
called me up. They needn't
think I don't know that
they wouldn't have asked
me to work up here if they
could-a got anybody else
l know what this town
thinks of me, an some day
I'm gonna let this town
know what l think of it!
Everybody in it can go can
a radish as far as I'm con-
cerned. l sh'd worry about
any of 'em!"
She hung Ann Marie's
cape on a rack and gave her
a check for it. Then, with
out another word, she hur-
ried out of the dressing
room.
Ann Marie powdered her
nose before the long look
ing-glass and was just turn
ing away from it when she
saw that there was a run
in one of her stockings.
ooh, my cow!" she said
aloud, and looked for the
needles and silk-thread that
Mrs. MacBane always kept
in a box on the dressing
table.
Ann Marie opened the
door. "Leota!" she called
softly, leaning out into the
hall, "Leota Ingram!"
But there was no answer
Ann Marie looked
down at the run. It had
gone another inch on it's
way to her ankle.
At the end of the hall was
a door that opened upon the
back stairs. Ann Marie
started towards it.
"Leota's probably gone
down to the kitchen 'or
some food" she decided,
and pushed open the door.
"Leota she called and
then stopped in sick and
sudden horror . e For at
the top of the steps, with
her back to the way, stood
Leota. And with her, his
arms around her and his
mouth on hers, stood Neal
Forsythe! The only man in
the world, and here he was,
making love to the cheapest,
most common girl in town.

HOUSE PLANTS ARE DISCUSSED
J. F. Anderson Gives In. teresting Talk to Gar
 den Club Members

At a meeting of the Garden Club held last night in the American Legion Dugout, J. P. Anderson, in a talk on eThe Care and Culture lofiHouse Plants, said that success in the culture of house plants de- pended wholly upon potting, water ing. light, and air. In potting plants care should be exercised in choosing pots large enough to enclose the roots of the plant; peb- bles or small stones should be placed in the bottom of the pot so as to insure the proper amount of drainage and thus keep the earth from becoming sour; and enough earth should be placed in the pot to cover the roots, although lit is not necessary to fill the pot any higher than a half inch be- low the rim. In placing the earth around the roots it should be packed down so they will feel quite at home. Too much water is just as injurious to the growth of the plant as too little water and the only way to strike q happy medium is to watch tho effects of too much water or too little water on the plant and be judged ac- cordingly Light and air arc as important to plants as they are to children and if this fact is born in mind there will be more sue, cessfnl growth of houae plants.
 "Ninety-five per cent of the fail ures,y said MT Anderson, in the culture of house plants here in Ju- neau are due to either too much water, too little water, or no light. The light here in the winter is not strong enough to make for good. plant growth except in the case of bulb stock which does not need very much outside aid due to the fact that it has energy and aid stored within itself. The plants in the summer, however, grow lux uriantly because of the abundance of light"
 At the close of his talk, MT. An derson said that he would be more than glad to assist anyone request ing advice or information as to their house plants.
 The next meeting of the Garoen Cub will be held at the American Legion Dugout at o'clock on Feb ruary 8.
