sleep. Very likely, too, he will feel resentment at the rigid enlargement of law when all his wishes tell him that this is the tir1e for an eXcep- tion.
 It is this sort of resentment, &C., cumulated from number of small incidents, that develops a spirit of rebellion which makes a child diffi- cult to manage in the long run. It is wise to plan in advance to make up for lost hours of sleep. If the child is to be kept up late in tho evening he should be given an ex- tra long nap in the afternoon, or permitted to sleep late the next day.
 If we see to it that he gets his usual amount of rest, he will suffer none of the bad effects of fatigue that are, after all, the only sensible reason for making him go to bed early.
 Children are more apprecative than we realize of reasonableness and good sense in their elders.
 Allowing them to stay up late for good cause will help them to accept with cheerful obedience the ordi- nary daily bedtime.

 T wish I could do your shopping for you," Mary said wistfully. T know l could find those reindeer, and cheap, too. But l suppose there's no use in even thinking about it."
 Not unless you could take Mrs. Underwood with you," l said regret fully. You know l told Mr Veritzen that you could not go outside the hotel without either Mrs. Underwood or myself with you. Some time I'll tell you why"
 I'll do anything you say, dear est" she returned, and I went away with the warm little feeling that l had no stancher friend than my | husbands young niece.
 Padding past Dicky's door again, l stopped and listened lntently, de- ciding that he was so sound asleep | there was no possible danger of his waking up while l was gone. Then l put on my shoes again. donned my motor coat which completely cover ed my evening gown and taking my | key let myself noiseleSsly out of the | door. Fortunately I met no one in the hall, and when I reached the | lobby, the night clerk was the only person in evidence.
 T want to put in a long distance 1 call" 1 told him, and my people are all asleep and must not be dis 1 turbed. Is there an empty apart ment on our floor or one near it 1 from which l may telephone. 1 will | pay for the call as soon as I have finished talking. Then you will have no confusion as to the different room charges"
 | That doesn't matter in the least" l he said: 'I can put it on your bill. And there's a room just around the corner from your apartment on the same floor which you can use. Tom will let you in. and you can give the 1 key back to him."
 l walked away with Tom, the ele- yator operator. wishing that the clerk were not quite so accommodate ing. l did not wish this long dis | tance call to go upon the bill, for i Dicky's possible scrutiny and ques- tioning. I determined that I would pay it anyway, and risk the possible inquisitiveness of the clerk. But when l was seated in the empty room into which Tom had ushered me and had put in my call for the 1 Cosgrove home. I forgot everything else in wondering if I were justified 1 in the intuition which had led me 1 to make this call.

Mother Brown was still puzzled over Black Pussy. Apparently, Black Pussy had eaten two big dinners and still was hungry. Any way, that is what Mother Brown thought. She couldn't understand it at all.
 Farmer Browns Boy saw how puzzled she was and chuckled. 'To- morrow night you are going to have another surprise" said he.
 What kind of a surprise?" asked Mother Brown.
 Walt and see," replied Farmer Browns Boy. Just you wait and see. You are going to have another surprise and then you are going to understand why Black Pussy has been growing thin. All I ask is that you do as l tell you to-
 -- Mother Brown good-naturedly agreed to this. All right" said she, I'll do just what you tell me- sasSo the next night she prepared Black Pussys supper as usual Farmer Browns Boy was on hand and told her 10 put it out in the
  and then to wait in the kitchen doorway to see what would happen. Black Pussy at once began to lap up the milk. Then there was a scratch ing sound. Black Pussy stopped drinking. A look of fright came into her eyes. She turned and ran past Mother Brown into the kitchen and Hid under tho Mnthnr Brown couldn't understand it at all and turned to go after her; but Farmer Browns Boy called 10 her.
 "Never mind Black Pussy" said he. You stay right where you can watch Black Pussy's dishes. Do you hear that scratching?"
 Yes replied Mother Brown "sWhat is it9'
 Some one wants to come i'm" said he. "Some one is getting a trife Impatient. I'm going to open the door now"
 So Farmer Browns Boy very auietly went over and slid back the little door that covered the hole made for Black Pussy to go in and out of the Hoodshed. For 8 minute nothing happened; then, in through that hole. walked gentleman dressed in black -and-white. Without hurryng in the least, or without the slightest hesitancy, he walked straight over to Black Pussy's dish es and there made himself quite at home.
 In the kitchen doorway Mother Brown stood with such a funny eX- pression on her face. She was look ing down at Jimmy Skunk with open-mouthed astonishment. At first she couldn't find her voice. No, sir Mother Brown simply couldn't fine her voice. When she did, it was tc say, why, why, Jimmy acts as il he had been here before"
 He has," chuCkled Farmer Browns Boy. You were so surf that you had been feeding Black Pussy so we'll, and all the time vol haven't been feeding her at all, bu have been feeding Jimmy Skunk Just see how fat the rascal is.

. MAKE TIT
 YOURSELF:

A dainty and easily made Christ mas gift is a bag of party powder puffs.
 The bag itself is made of a 12- inch square of pink, blue, laven- der, green or yellow chiffon, mar quisetta or taffeta. with the outer edge finished in picot.
 The powder puffs are made by cutting little squares of medicinal cotton, fluffing them out into little balls and sewing a bow of baby ribbon, each a different color, to the top to hold them.
 Put a dozen or so inside the bag, tie the bag up loosely with a satin ribbon, fastening the ribbon to the bag at intervals and attach a rib bon with which to hang it over the side of a dressing table. Each guest can have her own powder puff when she adjusts her makeup at the party.
 This is also an excellent gift for anyone's guest room.

THE BEDTIME RULE, By Alice JudSOn Pealc

A regular bedtime not lightly in terfered with is, of couse, essen- tial to a child's proper routine, but there are times when it is wiser to break the rule than to insist upon going through the form of obey ing it.
 On the occasion of a rare visit from some relative or friend who is important in the child's life. or when father is coming home after an un- usual absence, or on the day of a birthday or some other special cele- bration it is much wiser to let the child stay up than to force him to go to bed.
 Sent to bed when he is nervously excited over the unusual event, he certainly will not rest, much less

 Mary's eyes sparkled with excite ment and enthusiasm as l whispered to her that I must go out of the city in the early morning, not returning until the afternoon, and that I wish ed no one to know that l had gone.
 Gan I help you manage it?' she repeated in an undertone. Just watch me, Tell me what you want me to do."
 Nothing much, except to give the impression that l have gone shop ping, which will be the truth. but not the whole truth. 1 shall start before the day force comes on, so there will be no one to remark my going save the night clerk and the night elevator man, both of whom will be off duty before any of you arise. I am taking no bag, only a purse, so no one will think l have gone out of the city"
 "Oh. l thought you wanted me 10 do something hard or really ex- citing" she said in a disappointed tone, "This will be nothing at all. If or when anybody asks for you, I shall say that I didn't see you go out, which I won't, but that you've probably gone shopping, and that don't know your plans for lunch, which I don't"
 This may be all for nothing" said. q am going to put in a long distance call, and if conditions are as I think they are, l shall go, but there's a chance that I shan't have to call on you at all. If Mrs Cosgrove-"

 ERECKLES
FRECKLES

To tan but not to freckle is the ambition and the perplexing prob lem of many. Unfortunately, how ever, it is exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, to separate the one from the other.
 Freckles are small spots of pig ment in the upper layers of the skin. Freckles run in families. Those with light skin and red hair appear more susceptible than those of darker shades, but there are excep- tions.
 In those who are susceptible freckles will develop on even slight exposure to the sun. And yet these same persons canro ot tan except on exposure to natural or artificial sun rays.
 While the sun will quickly bring out freckles, there appear to be other forces that can cause spotted pigmentation of the skin. This is 10 be seen in freckles on parts of the body that are ordinarily but little exposed to sunlight.

Color Schemes Now Luk Behind Closet Doors
By IMAGERY TAYLOR Interior Decoration Editor, McCalI's
 Magazine. Written for New Britain Herald

Britain Herald
 Closets used to be proper places only for family skeletons; and wer. decorated accordingly.
 Now, with modern ideas of com- fort and tonvenience, closets are not only interiors" but as useful as any room.
 Perhaps the cleverest idea is con- trast-you take the minor colors III. the bedroom scheme and make them the dominent colors of the closet Or, if the bedroom walls have figured paper, the closet walls have plain paper or paint.
 With green bedroom walls. closet walls may be set oft in yellow, la vcnder, or peach with a yellow or ivory scheme in the room, any pas tel color will go we'll in the closet. And wonderfully effective is closet done in star spangled blue opening from a pink or rose bed room.
 Paint in closets should have an oil base so it won't rub off. There are also closet papers with a water proof finish. And the new oilcloths with their real designs, make at tractive wall coverings. f The floor, too, may be painted, preferably in some unusual color. Or equally effective is a light bed room linoleum in a pastel shade, especially with that hooked rug surface texture.
 The fixtures may be built in or portable. Shoe cabinets, narrow chests of drawers, special rods and brackets can be arranged to suit every kind of wardrobe.
 And there are boxes and bags for everything. Especially handy are the bags of Argentine cloth," the open weave fabric in which every hole is filled with lacquer.
 The shelves may be finished with ruffIes, pinking, pleating scallops and lace. From the humble colore1 paper you may climb to oil cloth or chintz; and even to moire and satin, if it's your ewn closet. The very newest edgings are organdy and dotted swiss.
 For a mans room, the narrow shelf holdings seem to be just the thing. They are 1-2-inch to inches wide, f1uted and carved. You may buy them in raw wood and paint or lacquer them to your taste.
