There is nothing that makes a
 household run so smoothly as start
 ing the. day right. and starting the
 day right means getting up early. Early to bed and early to rise i does not make men, or women.
 wealthy but it shows wisdom to
 start with, and it certainly makes everybody healthier and happier. Children of parents who get up late usually go to school demoral- | ized for the entire day. Half dressed, a swallow or two of uncheWed food, running the whole way for fear of being tardy-what child can pos-
 sibly be in a calm or receptive state of mind under such conditions?
 True,. there may. someone to get them up on time, to cook a de- cent breakfast and all that, but here | another factor enters into the mat ter-example. A child must wonder | what sort of world it is that lays such hard and fast rules for his get | ting about early, while his father | and mother are still snoring in a
 shaded room into which he dare not venture,
 Home Schedules Change
 It never used to be so but in re-
 cent years when ten o'clock seems to be the beginning of an evening in- stead of the end, and bridge parties do not break up until the wee hours of the morning, the natural thing | has occurred. Getting-up time has
 moved forward. too, and it is the
 commonest thing in the world for | mothers to sleep until noon.
 If this seems like rather stiff ar
 raignment of young parents let me much to blame as they seem. Gus tom has us all in it's clutches and
 this modern mode of getting into
 bed and out of 1t at any or all of the twenty -four hours of a davis a con- | tagious affair. It is in the air. We
 have lost our respect for safe and
 sane bedtime. @3g,
 Business hours are later too. Many men do not have to be at work before nine, or nine thirty. Some do their work on their own time with
 no office clock to punch at all. In fact, there seems to be conspiracy
 to keep the entire urban population
 at least, about, five hours behind the sun. htNtt ,4.s. 4a
 There are exceptions in this lie- | duCu Ctuoc HihSt PASHN iOt however. The sick mother, the
 mother who has lost sleep with the
 baby. or the one who through worry
 or nervousness cannot get any real
 rest until morning. And of course,
 must count fathers in this class too.
 Indeed there are dozens of legiti-
 mate reasons for late rising. and in | such cases the children will just
 have to do the best they can.
 But it seems to me that getting
 the day started right with time for
 the whole family to dress properly.
 eat properly, and to be normal, is
 worth cultivating little philosophy
 for. School children should be in
 bed by nine or earliers depending on age. I doubt if ever before anyone
 has dared to give advice to parents
 of school children about their bed
 time, but I am doing 1t now. Of

Joan's voice decided her.
 Don't try it. please, Sarah. You look frightened now"
 Frightened? The girl whom Ted had chosen should never be able to say that to her. She would go through with her stunt now. Maybe intuition told her that she was. But she wouldn't back down now.
 Sarah, don't try it! I know you're in a dare devil mood. Pve had 'em myself. But you'll get hurt. I know you'll get hurt!" That was Corrinne.
 Sarah. if you can do it. go to it, and if you can't, stop.' Even Jean Brady was taking an interest.
 But Sarah climbed the ladder, grabbed the rope, and sat down on the wing. This wasn't half bad. It was almost fun. The people below looked rather foolish and worried
 She laughed and called to the girl at the piano. Then she started to sing a popular song and the words drifted down.
 Corrinne had an idea suddenly. Drag the radio out. turn it high, and everybody dance!" she told Jack and Harry. If nobody watches her maybe she won't care so much about breaking her neck"
 A minute later, while Sarah sway ed above the crowd, the people separated into couples and started to dance. She smiled wisely. She had seen Corrinne's hurried instruc- tions being carried out. @t But just the same I'll do my stunt. and do it well.' she said. If they think they are going to make me given 1t up, they are mis- taken" ''Sarah!"
 She turned at the call. Ted was swinging on the banisters that sur- rounded the balcony.

The hand was played at contract and South, the dealer,- having a count of IA: opened s.with one no trump. This suited West very well and he passed. North, however. has a distribution that will not stand no trump and takes out with two hearts. East puts in an. ;overcall of three diamonds. South goes to three hearts and West jumps to five dia- monds. which South doubled.
 SOuth's double is rather danger ous, due to the fact that West, after passing his one no trump, jumped his partner to five. This would show that West held some good tickets and was satisfied to see South at tempt to play the hand at no trump. South should have been satisfied to defeat the contract if possible.
 The Play
 South's opening was the queen of hearts, the top of his partners suit, which the dummy won with the ace. The jack of diamonds was led from dummy and when North showed out by discarding a heart, the. declarer trump has spotted most of the miss ing high cards for. the declarer. His next play is the jack of clubs which South wins with the ace and returns the nine of hearts. North covers with the ten in order to be in the lead in case the declarer has another heart, but. the declarer trumps with the three of diamonds.
 The six of clubs is led by declar- CT and the ten spot finesse taken, which holds. The king of clubs can be safely led from dummy. which leaves South with the good queen of clubs.

 1T used strawberry rhubarb. the kind which has the red outer skin and then added some cinnamon can- dies, the kind called red hots.' They gave it that spicy flavor and the gor- geous color.' Want my recipe?"
 Foolish question, of course the re- cipe was wanted. Here it is: "Buy one and one-half pounds strawberry rhubarb. Do not remove the skin. After washing the stalks. cut off the leaf and stem end. If a few stripes of thin skin pull off with the rejected parts that will be all right. But don't skin the whole stalk. Cut rhubarb in pieces. Wash one orange and one lemon.
