kitchen door had closed behind them, and laughted softly.
 "Put 1t on, Sue. or Jimmy will feel that you don't like it."
 Sue could feel the warm blood flooding her face. How did Grace know about the ring that was in her pocket?
 "Oh, my dear, you needn't be afraid that I won't understand! knew why Jimmy followed you out And he's been as pleased as a small boy with his first shotgun. He had more fun buying presents"
 Sue knew that she looked em- barrassed as she slipped the ring on her finger again. Perhaps Grace would think she had attached some significance to the gift, and that would be even worse.
 No, Sue, I know you weren't lfeading things into the lady's fly- ling draperies," Grace added, as though she read Sues thoughts. II was with Jimmy when he bought the cameos. He bought me some [ for pair of bracelets and match ing necklace. So you see it's quite all right. He picked out all the designs himself. When you want to please man, Sue, let him give you something or do. something for you. He'll appreciate you~more. "Oh, I know it's hard to curb your own giving to them. You want to do things their way every time. But if you do. they'll think that you are pair of quotation

mean hissing sound warned her of unexpected trouble. A flat! We'll, she couldn't stop for it. Goodby tire.
 She tore along, as fast as the car in it's disabled condition could be made to go and still be kept on th., road. Presently she heard a sound that was not new to her. It came from the rear. She did not slacken her speed but the sound continued to draw nearer. At last it came {: l"Get over there." The cool voice of the law.
 Listen officer" she pleaded as a uniformed individual on motor cycle beside her car reached for a summons, II know I'm not Mrs Lindbergh or anybody like that. You don't have to ask me. But I am on matter of life or death. Back there at the beach there's a kid that been drowned. I'm going for a doctor" "Yeah?''
 Please. Where does the nearest doctor live? Take my number and then get doctor,~ quick. I'll wait here and go back with him."
 The officer. looked her over and decided she was not drunk. And sober she certainly wouldn't be driving for pleasure as she had been, practically on three wheels. Besides, she was dripping wet She must have been at the beach, all right. Nevertheless he took the number of her car.
 'T'n get you doctor" he said soberly. "But see that you stay right here until come back" Beryl nodded. You'll hurry?" she begged. In her mind, as a silent, unbearable accusation. was the picture of small white face still against the sand. If that was to be the way it would look the last time she was ever to see it
 Beryrs heart shrank into small hard lump that burned like fire. And 1t stayed like that while she waited endlessly for the officer to return.

HOUSEWIVES OF
 MIDDLE VILLAGE
 WIN THE BATTLE

Middle Village, N. Y.. May 2l-- (UP) - Already triumphant over seven butchers and two poultry dealers in their boycott or high prices, 800 militant housewives were intent today on forcing two bakers to lash prices.
 The boycott started five weeks ago when the women banded and refused to deal with the butchers and poultry men until their com. rnodies were reduced.
 The butchers and chicken dealers were on the verge of closing when they called conference and de- clded to advertise drastic cuts. AS n result lamb dropped from 60 10 3s cents a pound. and steak from hbto 90 cents, stewmeat was on f4 cents a pound from the previous days close of 70 cents and quota ti0ns on chickens were from 10 to i2 cents pound lower.
 Meat and chicken went back Into the daily repasi with these reduc. tIons, and bread rolls and buns disappeared. Mrs Rose Pagan and Mrs hadie Goodman started the drive for cheaper fo0dstuffs, and crowds Of women would ride Into the village and crate on the high cost of foods. They called atteH' ton 10 nOmr products especially. uojntlnR Co the vast quantities af cheap whsat ar . rsason fof lewaF '' Ths Morton avenue Bakery sAvl.

Susan was planning her wedding dress. We are not going to have much money this first year, Nancy and I wondered whether could not plan a wedding dress which could later serve as dinner or evening dress. Have you any idea?"
 'I'll tell you what saw the other day that seemed most sensible and practical and was good looking as we'll, which is = after all an unusual combination.
 "The bride had chosen dress of white satin. It was just off that dead white shade and had no trace of that blue white which used to make brides look so ghastly. The dress was made without sleeves, fairly low decolletage and skirt was of floor length or thereabouts.
 But she had made a top part in a sort of basque effect. It had sleeves. and buttoned down the front using tiny satin covered buttons. There was a short poplum which gave the dress something of a medieval effect: The train was

The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-05-21

I told a mother the other day that if her child had been trained to obedience in his first year, she wouldn't have to spank him now. She resented it thoroughly will you please tell me-" she asked coldly, with the accent on the "me," 'how on earth you can train baby to mind in his first year?"
 Then, to mollify her bit, ad- mitted that it was perfectly easy, in theory, but that in practice it was frequently different matter. As 1t happened, my own children were of the type easily taught and thing, in our house.
 But there are children and chil- dren. and there are houses and houses. No two children have. the same disposition and family life diff fers.
 There is one little thing, however, that governs nearly all obedience and that is the mothers own state of mind regarding it. When baby is very small she must adopt an at titude of expectancy, that is, she must cast aside all doubts that she is to be obeyed and take it for granted that her wee son or daughter will do as she says.
 Tone Is Important Her tone should be quiet and kind, but firm I mean business like. When she says mo = mo-" the baby will undestand at nine months perfectly well what that means. He may. not appear to mo- tice but his mentality is far. enough

Beryls first aid work completed, she set about to count noses That Is when Angie was missed Where is he ?' she asked, anxiously glanc- ing up and down the beach. Look for him, everyone" and then she sent their roll cry, as she called 1t, ringing out in strong full tone that was surprisingly clear and sweet. Beryl had voice, even though her family wouldn't admit it. As its echoes died away the boys took it up and flung 1t forth again. Beryl strained her ears to catch an answer but none came.
 Fear gripped her then for the boys had promised never to go out of hearing of the roll cry without her permission. Angle wouldn't have done 1t wiIfully; she was cer- tain of that. He'd wandered away or-she turned in sharp alarm to the water.
 Lacy waves broke at her feet where she came to a pause to scan the ocean that spread before her, bland to-day and smiling. The wash of the water seemed to purr in- viting1y, teasingly promising to be good. Its serenity was like a false face to Beryl. She saw 1t as hun gry monster, greedy to devour little boys.
 Angie, Angie" she called fran tically and waded deeper--until- the waves made standing uncertain. No good going out with nothing of Angie in sight. She turned and started to run along the beach. Then she stopped and called back to the children to tsring out be- hind her and not to give, only to watch and relay word if they caught a glimpse of the missing boy. They understood. This was a game they'd played in fun many times before. To-day 1t might mean something in earnest.

She decided to leave the ring on her finger. Grace should be able to understand. She had always shown so much far sightedness, been so considerate and impartial.
 After all, the ring was an hon. est gift and there wasn't reason in the world why she shouldn't ac- cept it, Sue decided. Sooner or later Grace would Lee 1t.
 She handed the teapot to Jimmy land followed him into the living room. She let Grace pour the fresh tea whileA she dropped down among the cushions on the davenport, next to Jack. And then, almost mechan- ically. she slipped off the ring and put it in the pocket of her skirt.
 It. was still there when she and Grace went out to the kitchen to wash the cups and saucers. They were all going to be at Grace's for dinner later . the entire Merry man family and Jack and Grace had suggested that the tea cups be washed and dried and stood upon the shelf.

 Parsley has long been one of the most attractive and popular gar nishes, but now homemakers are looking for ways to work it into their menus. Always available win- ter and summer, it becomes plenu- ful in June and may, be found in several varieties.
 Recent investigations have re- vealed that parsley has even. higher percentage of iron than spin- ach. So, although parsley cannot be eaten in the same large quantity that spinach is, 1t should be used whenever possible. Foods rich in iron are so important in the daily dietary that every source should be used to it's best advantage.
 Parsley butter for fish and po- tatoes and parsley sauce for al most any vegetable provide excel lent means of adding iron to the diet.
 Parsley butter as a sandwich spread is an unusual way of using this savory herb. Wash parsley and pat dry between soft towels Mince finely or put through fine knife of food chopper. Combine
