Nancy did not enjoy life very much these days. Little things bothered her. She grew tired easily. She was troubled with gas pains and felt uncomfortable after eating. Then if she did not eat she was hungry.
 She talked matters over with her physician. "I suggest, Mrs. Page, that you eat less at meal but eat more meals.
 If I were you would take at least five meals a day. I am so glad that you are drinking plenty of milk. That is good tooth and bone insurance. Keep up the milk. A quart a day will be good for you if you can take that much. Try a breakfast at the usual time. a light lunch or brunch" at ten thirty, lunch at 12:30, tea at four. dinner at six. You may even want a glass of milk and cracker or orange juice at bed time. Naturally each meal will have less food in it than you ordinarily take. But think you will feel more comfort able with this arrangement.
 And as for being irritated by the children-that is natural. See if some of your good friends, Mrs. Miller, for instance, will not ake Peter off your hands as much as possible.

Joan might go to visit her grandmother for little while. Make Peter willing to fetch and carry for you. Be enthusiastic over his offers to help. Let him feel that he is of real help to you.
 And don't be too fussy about minor disobediences. I think that mothers are too apt to feel that the child is headed straight for. perdition if it does not obey every command given by an adult, ir- rational as some of those com mands may be. If he obeys in large things, overlook minor in- fractions. He is child to be proud of any day, so don't spoil his disposition by nagging and fault-finding. It will all come out in the wash, you know. Cheer up."

to fire and cook until thermom- eter registers PAP degrees F. Con- tinue to beat frosting while the sy- rup is cooking and when PAP de- grees is reached beat in about half of the syrup. Return syrup again to fire and cook until PA degrees F. is reached, beating frosting constantly. Add remaining syrup and beat until the right consist ency for spreading. Add vanilla after frosting has cooled slightly.
 Do not beat frosting too long. As soon as the glassy look becomes slightly dulled spread on the cake. If over-beaten the frosting will dry out and "cake."
 If you put this frosting in a tightly covered jar you can keep it for several days or week.
 Of course, you know you can change the flavor of the frosting by using different fiavoring ex- tracts. For instance, a particularly delicious frosting for devils food cake is made by adding four Or five drops of oil of peppermint in place of vanilla. Then if you cover the frosting with a coating of bitter chocolate, you will have a cake that makes a full dessert by itself. Melt the chocolate over warm water and brush over the frosting on the cake. Be sure the frosting is thor oughly cooled. Use Timber spa tula or a pastry brush to spread the chocolate.

GLORIFYING
 YOURSELF
By Alicia Hart
@IoN sY NEA SERVICE INs

There is nothing that adds to facial charm more than, healthy flashing white teeth. If your teeth have become yellow, see a dentist and have him remove the film Then keep them white by giving them meticulous care at home.
 Several toothpastes on the mar ket are quite strong and a couple of them will actually remove the film from your teeth. However. If you don't like the taste of a strong paste (and I think you shiuld like the taste so that brushing your teeth is a pleasure rather than a duty), then mix a little pumice stone with a milder brand. Ordin- ary baking soda will also whiten them and is very beneficial to the gums.
 Scour your teeth for at least five minutes twice a day and if you possibly can work two min ute brushing in between. White teeth are as essential to complete beauty as we'll groomed, glossy hair. Every time you speak or smile, they show, and if they are yellowed, they detract from beau- tiful eyes, hair and skin.
 People who have lovely teeth know their attraction and their smiles are broader, their manner more pleasant since they are proud to open their mouths and laugh. Children should have their teeth strengthened when they are very young and then be taught to care for them properly.
 Be sure you brush your teeth the correct way and by that I don't mean just covering the front sur face where they show. Use a rather small tooth brush and be sure it's stiff one unless your gums are unusually tender. Brush them up and down, backwards and forwards and even in circles until every bit of each tooth has been thoroughly cleaned.
 Don't get discouraged if the film doesn't disappear immediately. Just keep after them and the dis coloration will fade out complete ly, for nine times out of ten, it's not a permanent discoloration but merely a film which has accumu- later there through neglect.

ing rush of duties she put call through to the Hart Advertising Agency and talked to Chris. She learned that Junior Baker was still a very sick child. His mother was with him, Chris had arranged to have a nurse care for the boy while his condition was so serious. An other 24 hours, the doctor said, would decide the battle between life and death.
 | The telephone on Norma's desk did not ring again until late after noon. With quickly beating heart the girl took down the receiver. It was only Chris again saying she planned to spend the night at Minine Bakers.
 Then for a succession of days the girls saw little of each other |. Chris stopped in at the apart ment, filled a travelling bag and virtually moved to Minnie's drah quarters where the worn out moth- | CT was only too glad to shift her burdens to stronger shoulders.
 The day came when the doctor reported Junior would recover | SUIlS SLdyCu NAth khAhAAO " wv that she took time to eat square meal once in while."
 After two evenings spent in the apartment Norma found herself lonely. Bob Farrell called and she agreed to go with him to see the new Marion Davies movie. They had dinner together before the pic ture at their. favorite- eating place Norma wondered if Bob were working too hard. He seemed tired seldom looked at her directly but shrugged carelessly when she asked if anything were wrong.
 He telephoned again the next evening. Norma had been home from the office less than half an hour when the call came. Bob an- nounced that he had the use of a friends car for the evening. Would she care to go for a drive ?" "I'd love to!" she told him. Good. Then I'll be around about S:3O." It was not quite that late when she came down the stairs in answer to his ring. Norma was enveloped in a woody tan polo coat, a brown beret pulled snugly over her head. The beret could not hide the gleaming gold of her hair, exposed in soft waves that framed her face. She wore brown pumps and, beneath the polo coat, a brown frock.
 Admiration shone in Bob Far rell's eyes. All he said was, Good thing you put on that coat. It's going to be cool driving" They went outside and Bob helped her into the car. It was a shining. newly painted coupe of inexpensive make. Not this years | model. The new paint was eyi- dently a rejuvenation measure. "Where'd you get it?" Norma asked.
 "The chariot? oh, it belongs to Ted Roberts. He's out of town for a couple of days. Said I could take his pet out and exercise it
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-09-16

while he's gone. Some chariot, isn't it?"
 The girl agreed that it was She knew who Ted Roberts was though she had never met him Roberts lived at the house where Bob stayed. He worked for an engineering firm.
 Bob started the motor and with a jolt they moved forward. The chariot-Bob told her this was the vehicles official name-proved to be a good traveller. They were heading away from downtown traffic.
 "Where would you like to go?' Farrell asked.
 Anywhere. It doesn't matter" Like to drive through Wash ington park and take a run out on Crystal Creek highway" That would be grand"
 "Then we'll do it." Neither cared to talk while they were on the city streets. Other vehicles. traffic regulations took Farrell's attention. Norma was content to lean back in her seat, letting the cool, crisp night breeze whip color into her cheeks. It was mid-September. The first frost was still several weeks away but there was the unmistakable scent of fall in the air. Norma loved it. The breeze hinted of fallen leaves and bonfires. Of summer dying in the lap of rugged, hardy autumn. Hillsides riot of gold and crimson color ing. Colder nights and the har- vest moon. Days of chilly fresh- ness. Oh. yes, Norma loved the fall.
 All this was in her mind vague ly when she. realized they had reached the park. Dancing rows of lights stretched ahead and twinkled at them from behind shrubbery and rolling hillocks as though gigantic, jewel case had been overturned on the black vel vet of the night.
 Its beautiful" the girl sighed. "Oh, Bob, isn't it beautiful?"
 Farrell, less emotional, agreed. "Yep. Always liked this park"
 The girl put a hand on his arm. Drive around to that circle above the pavilion, won't your" she urged. q want to see how the city looks with all the lights on."
 Bob nodded. The circle to which Norma referred was show spot of Marlboro, providing a sweeping view of the entire busi- ness district and beyond that sec ton of the metropolis known as East Marlboro. Bob brought the coupe up the winding hill, maneu- vered to a sheltered position and shut off the motor.
 "There you are," he said with a wave toward the city below. There's your fairyland."
 That's exactly what 1t looks like!"
 Both of them gazed in silence at the panorama. Towering sky scrapers and hideous commercial structures. gaudy. gigantic signs and street lights all were inter- woven by the magic of the night ino tan electric fairyland.
 Usually there were half a dozen or more cars parked in the circle to enjoy this view. Tonight there was only the borrowed coupe.
 Norma turned from the scene below them to meet the eyes of the boy at her side. She knew what was to happen a full instant before 1t did yet seemed helpless to prevent =.

 "Bob!' she cried indignantly. Bob, how could you"
 "Don't say it!" he interrupted shortly. Don't even try to tell me how big a fool I've been! l know it as well as you do. Bet teri"
 He was fumbling with the mechanism to start the car. In another moment the coupe had backed and turned and they were driving away swiftly. Through the park the coupe flashed and out on the open road.
 Farrell's eyes were on the pave- ment ahead. He seemed not to realize the girl was beside him. In the shimmering light of a crossroads lamppost Norma caught a swift glimpse of a face that was set and white.
 Bob" she cried, "where are you going?"

But she might just have got tired and wandered off" Sue knew better. She was as sure, as though she had seen the girl leave the car, that Lois had l fled as soon as the others were out of sight
 The group moved on to the police station. A serach for Lois was started. Sue realized that until Lois was found she herself could not be cleared. Or recieve her ring. An hour passed. Two hours. AL l most three. No sign of Lois. She hadn't been home. She hadn't been seen.
 And as Sue realized the plight she was in suddenly she grew ner- | vous.

 "Did they find her?" Sue asked.

 The door opened. The blue-coat- ed figure stepped aside to let a woman pass. The mad red hair was tumbled rebelliously. The long | green eyes were smoldering. It was Lois Andrews. But she had changed her dress. There was a unu-like simplicity in the folds of mauve chiffon, and the round white collar that framed her face was very feminine.

YOUR CHILDREN

 We live and learn about babies, and as yet they have a lot to teach us.
 one interesting thing is the way we ourselves react to our own are born with two elemental fears one of falling and the other a ter TOT of loud sounds, we stopped treating them as human beings and started handling them as though they were tiny mechanical robuts, storing them away in se- cluded silent corners of the house and disturbing them only for the most practical procedures.
 This was supposed to be good for their nerves. No one was al- lowed to pick them up, no rock ing, no walking, no talking. Nc nothing! Everybody shushed and stayed shushed.
 Let Them Be Family Folk
 But now, To and behold we find these little bits of humanity have feelings after all. Read any new treatise on the handling of babies and learn, please, that the most intelligent of our specialists find that they are happier; develop more rapidly and are better all round normal children if they are allowed to mix in the family circle,
 Recently I was talking with a noted obstetrician who has made a study of the behavior and reac- tions of brand new babies. And he has observed this a baby, he says, may be fearful of loud sud- den sounds, but seems to be equal ly afraid of a long continuous sl- lence.
 A very tiny baby, for instance, cried for no apparent reason at all and the doctor himself was sure that there was no discomfort or physical reason for it. He began to experiment by rocking the cra- dle of another baby nearby. The unhappy one stopped his wailing and eventually dropped peacefully off to sleep.
 The reason for this, he says, must be purely speculative. He analyzes it as primordial instinct having its beginning long centur- ies back when man feared silence and children feared it especially. Silence in the wilderness was omi- nous for one separated from ms clan. Again it may be that a sense of rhythm, one of the earliest to be developed in children, finds sat. isfaction in a regular tattoo or sound. Perhaps that is the secret of rocking - the soothing sense Of sound and motion repeated every second. At any rate it seems that certain sounds are reassuring to the baby.

Perfect cake frostings are easy to make if you understand the part each ingredient plays and the prop CT handling of the syrup during and after cooking.
 What is a perfect frosting? First of all comes the matter Of f1ne flavor. This means not only the use of fine materials, but also a perfect blending of the flavor Of the frosting with that of the cake. Second in importance is texture. The frosting must feel fine-grain- ed and creamy on the tongue. Furthermore, the perfect frosting must hold it's shape, have a glossy appearance, remain moist on standing and cut without crack ing. These much-desired qualities may be obtained in several ways, but the surest and most simple method of securing a delectable frosting is to use light corn syrup with sugar. The corn syrup gives no flavor to the frosting but makes and keeps it soft and smooth. Be sure to measure accurately, how ever, for too much corn syrup makes the frosting gummy and too soft.
 The length of time or tempera- ture of the frosting syrup is an im- portant factor in the making of frostings. Sugar-cookery thermom- eters are a decided help for the making of uniformly perfect frost ing, since they eliminate all guess work as to whether the syrup is cooked enough.
 White Frosting
 Two and one-half cups fine granulated sugar, IA cup corn sy- rup, 314 cup water, whites ? eggs, teaspoon vanilla.
