 You are ridiculous, Mir Punch!" She glanced at him with the same feeling that had often made her lay her little hand like Q snowflake on Bastien Dumont's arm; only there was less kindness in her eyes. A single drop of water would quench Bastien's generous ardor; this man needed q garden hose. "Please let me pass!" she added.
 "Au revoir, Miss Judy" he said. his eyes travelling from her shab- by hat to her perfect feet.
 "Goodby, Mir Punch," she an- swered without further look.
 When she got back, she went in- to Chummy's room. The nurse had gone out for e while. Chummy was lying on her pillows in the soft luxury of convalescence. She smiled as Judy came up to her bed and bent over her.
 And Judy knew at once that something tremendous had hap pened.
 "oh, Judy" said Chummy's low. lazy voice, "what do you think? I was dying to tell somebody. I dreamed that Alan had come back!"

down any offef of work, particu- larly at this moment: and she could not help feeling a little flattered. Stornaway had never asked her to sit for him before. In his letter he referred to her hair and her eyebrows as suggest ing to him the coloring and line- aments of the young princess. The interview that resulted was satis- factory and 1t was arranged that she should go to him when Max Dickbread could spare her.
 Stornaway proved restful after her tyrannical genius. He talked to her kindly and gave her tea. As she left his house--a large, low. many-windowed building of red brick, which suggested the country ---she fed her eyes on the snow drops that spread a field of gleam- ing witeness over the lawns on either side of the path. The grounds were inclosed by 8 high wall that had Q gate set In 1t, and as she opened the gate a man met her.
 She recognized him with an in- ward grin. She did not know why, but even the thought of him made her laugh. It was Bruce Gideon, white and eavy-jawed, with pale eyes, black hair, and peevish mouth. Chummy's description of him as Punch came back to her. He wore correct afternoon dress, which made him look old fashioned. A shining top hat was on his big head.
 At sight of Judy his lips opened in a smile which chased the peev- ish look from his face, but brought out its coarseness.
 DO you remember me, Miss Judy" he asked, holding out his hand.
 Judy, glad of her new work, and still rejoicing in Chummy's es- cape from death, answered glad ly:
 "of course I remember you, Mir Punch!"
 And here comes dog Tobyi" Gideon went on, as Stornaway's terrier came trotting down the paved path. Now we can give our showl" His little eyes rested on her glowing face with a covetous

 "Come on, Sue, you're playing at this table," a merry voice called.
 I'm watching" Sue answered. T never played in my life.'
 '.Never playedi Then we'll teach you. Jack, how does 1t happen that wife of yours isn't up to her card tricks?" someone else called.
 I don't want to play" Sue an- swered. "I'd learn much, much more by watching"
 Suppose we play with bottoms instead of coins. Then would you consider?" There was no mistaking the contempt In Joe Dexters voice. Remember how we used to go to home made circuses on pins?"
 Jack had not heard. He was standing near the door to the con- servatory, talking to two older men. His eyes were warm and ap- proving whenever they met Sues. But she felt hopeless and helpless in the presence of these people. She wished that she was back home with Corrinne and Harry, Sarah and Ted, and Jack. They did things because they liked to do them, not because they had to.
 Playing, Sue?" Jack had left the men and was coming across the floor. "As the first command of my married life, I forbid it. Your card sense simply isn't, and we'll never move into our happy home if your losses start to pile up. Still. maybe you had better learn. ..."
 Sue knew that he had caught the panic in her eyes and was com ing to her rescue. It would have been much less embarrassing for him to have paid her losses. what ever they might have been, but he was helping her.
 Nell never plays, either," an- other girl said. "Nor Ruth. And I just do it when I have to. You'll have plenty of company, Mrs Thornton. That leaves four of us out. The rest of you get busy and rob one another"
 Sue curled up in a chair, near Jacks table, and tried to watch. She was tired.
 "As a social success" she told herself, "I'd be lost happier in a pink gingham apron making lemon pies or corn mullins. I hope we never have to come here again"
 Her mind drifted to the picture upstairs. The radio had found Q haunting song and the. music was coming in.

 Thanks, Jack, darling" Joe said when he handed 1t over. My share of 1t will buy a hat, anyway" She was watching Sue.
 But Sue wasn't listening. Sud- denly she had placed the face of the etching she had seen upstairs. Maybe not placed it exactly. But yes, she was sure that she had!

This years debutante introduces to us curves. waistlines and gently undulating hips, as the 1932 ideal.
 But none of us should make the mistake of thinking there can be much of any of these. The woman who says, "Thank Heaven hips are in again." and reaches for @ cho- colate eclaire, just cannot hope to be really chic this winter.
 Of course waistlines are in. That, incidentally, is just where they are in! Only slender waistlines are mentioned. To be in the running at all this winter, your waistline should be kept down to q size a man might dream of putting his arm about!
 The really new thing about the 1889 silhouette is It's grace. There is none of the stiff rigidity of the straight up and down figure. The way you move Is quite as import skating, fencing seem the sort of exercise you must have been inc dulging in to get that poised grace that makes you So emininently 1892.
 To keep your hips down and your waist in. certain exercises will aid and abet you. Do them all morning and night. And walk every step you can! Walking, if done right, can give an ease that is superb.
 1. stand on both of your bare feet, raise your shoulders and wriggle them, swing your arms and loosen them. and then do this ex- ercise: Stretch out both arms above your head. Push up your right arm as high as you can, stretching your body at your hips. then push up your left arm. Alternate for about a dozen times.
 2. Then bend forward and try to sweep the floor with the tips of your fingers. without bending your knees. If you can't do this, ceed. When you get thoroughly lImbered up. you will reach the
 3. Put left foot forward. rest ing your weight on the right one. Swing your arms up over your head and bend over, sweeping your left toe with your right fingers.

were-oh, yesterday you were out for walk with Bastien! He was awfully anxious about Chummy, and I didn't like to refuse"
 How much, Clara?"
 "Twenty-five he gave me yester- day"
 You mustn't take any more. Promise! I'll get some money. Of course, Chummy must have every thing.'
 "Oh, how splendid that she's get ting better!" cried Clara.
 She proceeded to execute @ weird shuffling dance that would have brought down the house if she had performed 1t on Q stage. Judy laughed till the tears rolled down her cheeks.
 All that morning her thoughts were busy with Alan Setyne as she posed for Max Dickbread's Spanish dancer in her vivid yellow-and- black dress. with immense scarlet peoples under the lace mantilla that covered her flaming hair. She had not seen Alan since that night. Of course. when Chummy was well again, she would have to. He must come to see Chummy. He had said he was fond or her. He must me. Everybody was. Those brief moments at the foot of the staircase had been madness. No doubt he regretted them bitterly.
 Judy was an incredible optimist. but she had at the same time no very high opinion of men. She had Seen too much of them.
 The dinner, the lights, the wine, the music-and those laughing eyes! Was Alan Steyne really In love with her? She did not be- lieve 1t for Q minute. Was she in love with him? She pulled a little shutter down over her thoughts and would not answer that ques- ton at all.
 In the early afternoon she went to Vincent Stornaway's house. The artist had written to her, asking if she would sit for the head and shoulders of Queen Elizabeth as a young girl. He had for the mo- ment abandoned portrait painting, and was engaged on a large his- torical panel for Q new apartment building.

YOUR CHILDREN
WNMpRobey7sBal1n
JOI93lBY MIA SERVICE. lNc

Do you talk to your children? Or is your conversation limited to telling them to do things? Be sure you wash your ears!" "Sit up straight" Don't slam the door" Watch the baby "Go to the store." Is that the extent of your verbal offerings outside of scolding now and then?
 We must remember that chil- dren are poor takers themselves, as a rule, but very good listeners. And they love to hear things. "Tell us about when you were 8 little boy, daddy" How did you dress when you were 0 ,little girl, mother?" If you start to tell them they will listen for an hour. They love 1t.
 Food for Thought at Table
 Naturally grown-ups have a greater store of knowledge than children but from their unwilling ness to mention 1t how can the children know? Even if our lives have been more or less prosaic af- fairs with. as we think, nothing ever happening worth talking about, that won't make any differ- ence to the youngsters. Once we surely knew a man who was diff ferent, or woman who was inter- esting. Once we surely saw a won- derful garden or a mysterious house or beautiful city. Once we may have seen a bridge being built and the river being drained away to sink enormous piers.
 Or our knowledge may be mere- ly vicarious, gleaned from books and newspapers. Well, we can al- ways talk about that. To pass our tidbits of information on to the children would not take so very much effort, would 1t?
 It just doesn't seem balanced some way for me to go to a bridge party or a club meeting and talk and talk and talk to people and then come home and let down on the family.
 Tell What You Know!
 The family dinner table can be and should be q forum, for al- though children may not express themselves well and are too in- articulate to keep the ball of con- versation rolling. there is one thing to be remembered, they will never learn any younger. And if they are ever to be at ease when they are older in any room of intelligent people they cannot begin too early now to learn the art of conversa- ton. Replies---repartee- questings all follow in order. When they tell us q story w should listen to the end withou Interruption. Their mistakes 1T grammar should be corrected later Too many children are alien tC their parents thoughts or ideas because of dearth of mental con- tact. To tell n story well is one of the highest of achievements, and conversation is real art: but aside from all this the exchange of ideas between father and mother and children cements a strong and last ing friendship.
