 Corrinne went hone and packed her bags, after a while. She wan dered through the rooms, touching a familiar cushion pr lamp little tenderly. So this was the end! But it couldn't be! She sat down at one corner of the davenport and cried until her handkerchief was wadded into little ball.

truth is that a great deal of bed fence is normal and natural. The sooner we accept that fact the bet ter.
 The child is frequently at fault, however, and am not overlooking that merely wish to call attention to certain conditions that either make it practically impossible for him to be chronically obedient. or that could be corrected by parents examining into their own ways and methods of getting his cooperation.
 Chaos in This Home
 I have in mind at the moment a certain house wherein lived single small son of four or five. His mother was a nice woman but completely disorganized. Her housekeeping was hit and miss affair-this one day, that the next. Orders to the maid were changed almost as soon as giv- en, meals were either starvation af- fairs or Lucullan feasts. No sched- ule could be kept, nothing had any permanency or stability.
 Chaos reigned in the house of that pleasant but temperamental woman who changed her mind so frequently that her husband and everyone around her became nervous wrecks.
 Her little boy was very bad. She loved to tell people how terribly naughty he was. She had peculiar ways of getting his obedience to her cratic and constantly changing sys- tems by trying to break his heart and telling him he must hate her to behave so.
 He grew up into a sensitive wreck of boy, gently like his father, but with no organization of life. He had no set code of conduct; too many winds had blown him. He had never been really disobedient. and I think he was not weak at first. He is weak now because he cannot make up his mind, and changes to suit anyone's persuasion.
 His mother still referes to his dis obedience when he was little. He has a sort of reputation now as a no-account. But If he had had a steady, consistent guiding hand when he was little things might have been different.
 Vascillation cannot expect returns ito give an order one day and take it back the next, or vice versa. To laugh at a misstep one day and pun- ish severely for it the next: con- stantly to change rules; to make too many rules-in other words to be isorganized-these things do not make for real obedience.
 Children must know fairly well what to expect, how they stand, and not be blown about like small straws in strong wind.

 And which one of your six sus- poets have you picked on?" Strawn asked sarcastically.
 That's just the trouble. There are still six" Dundee acknowledged with wry grin. After Spragues disappearance, every one of the six was absent from the porch at one time or another. .. No. by George. There are seven suspects now! I was about to forget Peter Dunlap. who admits he was alone on a fishing trip when Nita was murdered and who left the porch last night to go to the library, as soon as Sprague arrived!

NANCY PAGE Polly Makes Seating Plans for Her Wedding Table
 By Florence La (sanke.
The question of seating guests at

The question of seating guests at the bridal table was bothering Polly. She knew the general rules a lady sits at the right of the gen. tleman who is her partner. But an equally accepted rule is this - hus- bands and wives do not sit side by side at dinner. Should the bride and groom be separated? No, decid- edly no. This is one time when she proved the validity of rule by breaking it.
 Well. then" said Polly, "does my newly made husband sit on my right or left? Presumably l am on his right. which would put him at my left. but since the gentleman who takes in the hostess sits at her right. ] would be at my new hus- bands left. So what do you do about that?" The answer is this - the groom takes in the bride and therefore sits at her right Thus settled that for Polly.

At the bridal table the mother of the bride is not the hostess; in fact, correctly, she is not at the bridal table at all, but is hos tess at a table where some of the older, favored guests are seated.
 Polly knew that the brides cake was white, was passed uncut to her first. She would cut the first piece. share it with her husband and then the cake would be removed to the kitchen, where it could be cut with ease. Then it would be brought in and passed to the other guests.

Harry's steady look at Corrinne, which was his only answer as to why he couldn't ask bank officials if anyone had asked to see his safety deposit box, suddenly made Cor rinne understand.
 "Oh-h! You mean if we say any, thing about 1t. that it will just cast more reflection on my .. {. my father?"
 Harry nodded.
 But then how will you know that I didn't do it?"
 "I don't. We won't say anything more about it. But I'm moving back home tonight. Later on we can de- eide about the house."
 You don't mean that you're leav- ing me?" Corrinne's voice was very low again, although the bank guard was too far away to hear.
 "Tm stepping out until We get af fairs strengthened around. Stay at the house as long as you want to. I'll send you a monthly check"
 But Corrinne's eyes had grown as black as midnight storm clouds and color was flaming in her cheeks.
 "Oh, no, you won't! 1 don't want any of your money! And I'll be the one to get out, not you! You stay on J be sorry . Oh, you'll be sorry you didn't trust mel"
 Harry didn't answer. Very swiftly she turned, gathered her raccoon coat around her, hating it's warmth because Harry had bought it, and ran up the steps. She did not look at anyone in the bank, but headed toward the street. Her car was there and she stepped in, and plunged down the street. It seemed to her that she had been riding for long, long time when the turmoil inside seemed to die down. A strange numbness took it's place.
 She must go home and pack, she kept telling herself. Pack! But where would she go? She didn't want her family to know that Harry had left her. It would worry them. and there were enough troubles on the calendar now. Besides. they liked him, and they were indebted to him for the bond money. She wished she had asked Harry not to tell her folks.
 But she had to go some place. If she sold her car she would have enough money to get by for Il little while. Then when the case was over and Harry got divorce

She couldn't get a position in towc now without letting everyone know that she had left her husband. No, that he had left her. People would think he had deserted here because of her father. That would be unfair to Harry. Even now, grieved and angry as she was, she didn't want to play unfairly. Her lips curved into a crooked smile.

WORLD PEACE
is UP TO U. S.,
FIGHTERS SAY
Fear Is Behind Armaments,
General Organ Asserts
at War Farley.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIAIMS
ScriEps-Hoyard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23-Untll
war outlawry is made effective by
entry Of the United States into
come worldwide system of law and
order, lasting peace and disarma-
ment are likely to prove just a
rubicose dream.
This, the writer would say rep
resents a fair cross-section OF the
opinion of the practical, hard
boiled fighting men who came here
to speak before the conference on
the cause and cure OF war which
came to an end Thursday.
The existing world peace ma
chinery. it was pointed out by
Major General John F. Organ Of
New York, commander OF the
Twenty-seventh division in the
World war, binds members at least
to boycott an outlaw nation.
The freedom Of the United
STATS, the most powerful military
nation of all" he said, constitutes
a menace to world law and order
and has direct bearing on the ar
msments Of Europe
Fear Behind Armament
In this day and time, declared
General Organ, no great power
maintains an army and navy larg
er than its people want. People
have the vote, and they certainly
will not vote to tax themselves for
something which they are convinced
they do not need.
Fear, the general said, is what is
behind armaments-th fear Of
war-and no nation with such
fear, whether justified or not, ever
voluntarily will consent to handi-
cap its defensive power"
Incidentally, he reminded, the
United States really is "the most
powerful nation in the world to-
day." because in the long run it
is not actually standing armies and
navies that count in war, but the
man-power, reserve food supplies,
motors, timber, metals and the end
less machinery of an organized in
duStry ready to start mass produc-
ton of war supplies at a moments
notice.
New Suspicion Arises
We must not be impatient, there
fore, he urged, when other nations
which lack such capacity refuse to
get rid Of the war materials which,
by dint of long and painstaking eff
fort, they have managed to accumu-
late.
SO, General Organ argued, eff
forts at disarmament, such as is
now contemplated at Geneva for
next year. are liable to give rise to
new suspicious and frictions rather
than otherwise, unless the general
war fear can be removed.
Admiral William v. Pratt, chief
Of naval operations, and Admiral
Mark L. Bristol, head of the navy
general board, agreed that while
arms limitation most certainly is
desirable, the cart must not be
placed before the horse.
Remove from the international
mind THE obsession that 'the next
war always is just around the
corner and arms will become mu-
scum pieces, like the dueling pis-
toll, he said.
