husband was coming across the floor. Sue decided that honesty would be the best policy, and when he stopped her, to comment on this and that and everything, she told him she was going up to see his wife.
 T didn't know you knew her," he began, rather stupidly. Then he frightened up, although Sue noticed that he was still nervous "But it's mighty sporting of you to call and make her feel at home. She'll ap- preciate it.''
 "She knows I'm coming" Sue went on, while the dimples flashed in her cheeks. "she sent for me-"
 "Sent for you? For your" He em- phasized the personal pronoun.
 "Yes. With this commotion about Sybil on and everything else, she must have wanted to make my ac- quaintance pretty badly, don't you think?"
 "But. ,. but. :"
 That's just what thought" she told him, her voice grave while her eyes danced. "Your wife picked out the wrong girl, didn't she? But what made her choose me, unless she thought could tell her some of the things she wanted to know? Or maybe it's like a duel where each one sends a messenger. It may not be your wife at all I'm going to see."
 Don't worry about that. It's Mar ion. She was putting on her craziest jewelry when I come down. That's done to impress you with the fact that she's Cleopatra and Ninon and the Trojan women all in one, just like a table that does tricks or chair that's a davenport.
 "But know what she wants.' He lowered his voice. Marion thinks like the ladies too well. Maybe do. But I like them all. And she would like to get a divorce and a slice of alimony. She said that the next time she found I was interested in anyone she would start the ball rolling, and. .Oh the devil, that Slade girls a nice kid. She hardly knows me. We just played around 8 little bit. But try to tell that to Marion! She's going to get started. He hesitated another second. "WllI you tell me what she says"
 "If Sarah vans me to-"
 "But does she have to be included in it at all?"
 "I'll know the answer to that when I come down. Goodbye"

Not only did Clara have an in- satiate curiosity but quick tongue and ready wit. A bent, pitiful old woman who was selling gaudy paper flowers caused Clara to make 8 witty comment that was caustic and cruel as we'll as funny. The girls all turned, looked at the old woman and giggled. Poor old soul-Nancy's heart went out to her in pity. That evening she and Clara talked it out. You are so busy making people laugh at your bright remarks that you never stop to think how they may hurt. Someone has defined a real lady as a person who never willingly or willingly hurts another person. By that definition you are far from being @ lady. You are bright enough to make people like you for your thoughtfulness and consideration. Now you make them laugh at someone else's expense be- cause you are thoughtless. And a thoughtless person is never popu- lar one very long. It doesn't pay. Think it over, Clara.

 His uncle laughed uneasily. "And before I tell you want you to know something of what 1t means to me-this thing that has happened"

GLORIFYING'
 .YOURSELF,
By AIicia Hart
9i1N G7 NE4 SERVICE !!i,;ji ill!

Pyorhea is term that is well- known to all of us. But only those who have had 1t can know it's seri- ousness.
 If you are inflicted with pyorhea go to . dentist immediately. If your gums are not bleeding, but are of an unhealthy color, prevent any such trouble by proper care yourself.
 The Life Extension Institute ad- vises the use of three drops of wine of ipecac dropped on the the tooth brsh daily, with the teeth scrubbed thoroughly with it. The technical name of this is tincture of wine of ipecacunanha.
 Treatment at Home
 A non-toxic iodine, which is es- pecially prepared for use on the gums,, can be obtained and applied by yourself, but you must do 1t only in the following manner.
 Make pads of absorbent cotton to cover the gums at the roots of the teeth to absorb the saliva. Then cover an orange-wood stick with cot- ton and dip it into this specially pre- pared iodine and swab your gums all around the outside. Put new cotton pads inside the mouth ana sWaD with fresh iodine on the inside. Treat both the upper and lower jaw in this manner.
 If you have gum trouble, go have your teeth cleaned immediately. Your dentist will tell you all. Take his advice and put in as much time daily on your teeth as he suggests. For there is no more bothersome feeling in the world than the fear that your breath is unpleasant. And 1t is bound to be if your gums are affected.
 Gargles Are Effective
 Gargles are good daily habit. In the first place, they clean out your throat. Second, if you use disin- fectant, they are tremendously help full in keeping the gums healthy and pink.
 Before you step out to choose a new lipstick to go with your new clothes, look inside your mouth and see if 1t might be better to spend your money on the dentist instead.

YOUR CHILDREN

Many parents now are going through catalogues and magazine advertisements of summer camps
 for children.
 Such official camps are splendid.
 I think they are all good, the only
 difference perhaps being in the as-
 sortment of sports offered and con-
 sequently the price. They vary. SO greatly that 1t is almost impossible to quote an average price, and Of
 course, it depends on the length ot time the camper stays. Most large camps, those accom- modating from a hundred to three hundred boys or girls, enroll for one or two months, but many smaller ones take children for two- l week terms.
 It is largely a question of money, but I know of no way in which It IS better spent than to send a child to
 such a place, away from parents ana
 home environment for a taste of
 ibility.
 Carefully Supervised
 When I say that do not mean that he is not watched over, directed.
 and supervised generally by coun. selors trained to that purpose; that
 is where these camps excel. But each child is on his own. He learns the give and take of existence where
 there is no favoritism, he learns promptness and schedule. He re-
 vamps his point of view. gets rid of his prejudices and complexes and
 gets a chance to develop into an all- around human being. There is no class distinction, for all dress alike, but camps are care full as to character.
 All this under the sky with regu- lar wholesome meals. Sports, hikes and every chanceSunder the sun to develop muscle and brain what
 could be better?
 Now all this may be most discour- aging to parents without means.
 There are literally thousands Of small camps being organized for short-term vacations in the country. It is a good idea to make inquiry now around your town and see what can be done about sending Tommy or Betty away with one Of these groups.
 Then there is the farm. My sis- ter and I used to go to a farm every summer-there were no camps then and we still talk about 1t. The best times I ever have had were
 there, fishing with bent pins. keep ing store and cutting up burdocK leaves and selling them for steak:
 Chops were plantain leaves s,as ana req We waded, slid in the haymow. hunted eggs, climbed trees and went home as strong as young ponies Tn the fall I wish all children could

 This year much such help will De needed.

Sue had dressed very carefully for her interview with Marion Banning.
 She had a new navy blue wool suit which had a light blue belt and . startlingly white blouse that was adorned with a Peter Pan collar. She had a small blue hat that matched the belt and behaved rather hippantly. Slippers and pocketbook were dark blue, and her gloves matched the blouse. She looked so- phisticated, poised, and ready when she called at Marion Earnings room. As she turned from the telephone she noticed that Marion Earnings

It was at & luncheon that Nancy first noticed Clara's tendency to make people near her uncomfort- able. Nora was a new member of the club. She was nice child but handicapped by a rather ugly birth mark on her cheek.
 Nancy noticed that Nora kept her eyes down and seemed to avoid Clara's questioning. Later Clara gave the rest of the club story of the disfiguration. why Clara, you don't mean you asked her about it?" Nancy's voice expressed her dismay.

Planting of the 10000 trees will
be but the initial step in beautify-

DeBoer plans will eventually turn
the Grow Greek valley, adjacent
to the fort buildings, into park.
improvements will include a
large pool which will be used for
swimming in summer and skating
in winter, and scenic driveway
along the creek. The driveway
will make accessible to the public

EARTH'S ACE

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Jan. 2
GN.SO.-Prof. Alois F. Kovarlk,
of the Yale University physics
faculty, has worked out form
ula to determine the age of
minerals which contain radioac-

his formula to uraninite, has esti-
mated the age of the earth. He
believes that age to be fully
1852 millions of years.
Prof. Kovarik used a uraninite

ceived an estimate that it's age
is 1,465 millions of years. Then
he applied the formula to uran-
