Football weather was nippy weather. The cold air and wind had way of creeping under warm coats, and lap rugs. Even enthu- siasim for the plays made by ones pet player could not keep Clara nor her friends warm.
 They decided they would have to do something about it.
 Mrs. Lacey found woolen knick- CTS which had a tight fitting band at the knee. When these were slipped on the flat and fitted band at the waist did away with bulki- ness.
 Woolen stockings which reached we'll up under the knickers were help, too. Then came the woolen skirt with a wool slip over sweater worn for the blouse. On top of that went the fur coat. And inside all these wrappings Claire kept as snug and warm as the proverbial toast.
 Some of the girls had worked out a clever idea. They had taken the old steamer rugs which used to be a part of every family's equipment. They found the exact center of the rug. By making a slit large enough to go over the head comfortably. cutting out a space to fit around the neck, and zippering the rest of the slit closed after the rug was put over the head, they had a covering some- thing like the poncho worn by soldiers in rainy weather.

known to various friends. Neither Chummy nor Alan Steyne was there. Gideon did not dance, but he encouraged Judy to dance with other men.
 Bastien Dumont was faultless dancer, and the rich man watched the pair gyrating in perfect rhythm and harmony to the tunes of a wheezy but powerful phono- graph between the yellow-washed walls of a large, disused garage on which were painted rows of stiff lemon trees in full flower. The floor was excellent, the company heterogeneous. The refreshments were very poor and very high priced.
 Judy wore black, and seemed to float like a little storm cloud among the multicolored figures about her drawn largely from the foreign residents in the Village.
 You love dancing, don't you?" asked Gideon, as he left the club with her, followed by tEe furious eyes of Dumont.
 '"I adore it." she replied.
 And you dance hke-weH, don't know what. My vocabulary fails me. Have you never thought of dancing on the stage?"

You shall have the best show in New York. can arrange 1t. What do you say to that?" Judy had nothing to say, to Bruce Gideon's proposal just then. To begin with, she was tired to death, and in some way the even- ing had jared on her. The rich man was undoubtedly as much out of place at the Lemon Grove as he had been at the Cafe Tufc. It was not his behavior-it was himself. She felt that she was ungrateful, because he was very kind and ob- viously interested in everything around him. He was anxious to be on the friendliest terms, not only with herself, but with the little
 band of artists, and with Clara Jenks and the other girls Judy knew.
 That was the trouble. These others responded to his advances. They ate and drank at his expense: they showed him around; but they set him apart as belonging to Judy, as an admirer out of another world
 whom she had picked up. They were not in the least .unfriendly,
 but they were not very mulch in. terested-all but Bastein Dumont, who was furiously jealous, and made Judy half miserable and half angry with his darkly accusing eyes, even while she danced with him.
 She and Gideon |. reached the doorway of her building before he had time to say anything more about the career he was suggesting for her. She bade him good night and he asked her to think 1t over. The next two days passed with out incident. On the third morn- ing she received the following let ter: N Dear Miss Judy: I have been thinking over your career as Q dancer. It appeals to me as a business proposition. I believe you would have an enormous success. I should like to talk it over seriously with you. Will you lunch with me at the
 Picardy hotel at two o'clock to-day? Yours sincerely, Bruce Gideon.
 Judy decided to go. After all, it could do no harm to hear what he had to say. She was not enamored of her life as a model. It was very hard work, and men either made love to you or looked on you as q mere lay figure. At least, that was Judy's experience of them, with the exception of Stornaway; who seemed to be frankly friendly, for no particular reason. She adored dancing. If 1t was really busi- ness proposition, there could be nothing sinister in it.. She did not like Mir Punch, but she had never been afraid of any man.

Back in the good old days"
 when hips and waistlnes were in style, the stiffer everything was the more fashionable.
 Fabrics, manner, diction all were proper to q degree of stiffness
 that Is ludicrous in our norfchalant age.
 Easy boise is today's smart
 watchword. Instead of rigidity of
 body, such as the old corsets gave, figures today are supple and grace full The idea Is to give the illu- sion of dancing when you really are standing still!
 This means coordination of all your muscles. It means complete
 mastery of your body movements. No gauche hands. No toed in feet. No stumbling of being embarrassed
 when you meet folks.
 The foundation of awkwardness
 usually is lack of coordination of
 body and mind. You have dozens
 body that you don't even know about, scarcely ever use. But you
 can discover those that you must
 have to make you walk nicely, sit easily and bend without mental
 creaking.
 Limbering up is the easiest way | to start yourself on the road to boise. Conscious backbones are
 much more necessary than etiquet books in achieving social grace. Most of the best exercises for | limbering up backbones are done lying on the floor. Of course your
 room should be perfectly ventilated, preferably the air should be cooler than you usually have it..
 Stretch out on the floor and re- lax. Breathe deep and exhale. Then
 start unfolling that spine of yours that may have gotten all knotted up in the strenuous. strained life you lead.
 Raise your knees and hold the end of your spine flat to the floor. Then clasp your fingers under you head and push first one shoul- der up along the floor, then the other, until you are stretched out an inch or two longer than. you
 might be standing. When you are as tall as you can be. let your arms drop to your sides. your knees sink and see if you can keep your
 spine flat on the floor. Then start | the rolling exercise by putting your arms above your head. then raising your body and trying to | touch your feet. Two times is
 enough for the first day on this
 new exercise. Ten times. event.

Harry and Jack, Sue and Cor. rinne, gazed at the place on the wall, and the pillows on the bed, where the intruder had hurled his vial.
 "Acid!" Jack said then.
 "The worst kind!" Harry echo- ed.
 The pale green of the wall cov- ering was broken scared with the deadly stuff. It had eaten into the plaster. But it had done its worst damage on the pillow. The linen was eaten with holes that penetrated into the pillow itself.

SISTER MARY'S
 KITCHEN

One of the fundamental rules of cooking for children Is to vary their dietary in such a way that a balanced diet is maintained. Many adult ills. may be traced to lack of well chosen foods during child hood.
 Certain foods make strong bones. others develop muscles, some create energy for immediate needs and still others are a protection against disease. All these foods must be provided daily to make children grow and keep healthq.
 Milk, vegetables. cereals and fruits must be used In abundance. Not much meat Is necessary; one specialist in children's diets says that the meat portion should he the size of the palm of the chiid's hand"
 Eggs and certain kinds of fish are good, although the method of. serving them must be considered. Intense heat makes both of these foods hard to digest.
 Milk is essential. Every grow ing child needs a quart of milk a day. This need not all De con sumed as a beverage, but can be uSeQ CEcAIn BOQPS anu oNoS~S, custards and simple puddings and on cereals and vegetables. If the child drinks his quart of milk m addition to these various dishes, so much the better.
 Fruit Stimulates Appetite.
 Fruit is good for its mineral and vitamin content and often acts as a stimulant to a child's appetite Either fresh, stewed dried fruits or canned fruits are valuable In every meal of the day. The mother who was difficulty in persuading her child to eat vegetabl bles can use an extra amount of fruit in his diet to advantage.
 Leafy vegetables are very im- portant. They have a unique value in being rich sources of tooth and bone building material. A child as young as two years of age should have one or two ieafy veg etables every day.
 Cereals are valuable and can pc used in "gruels" from the time Q child is seven or eight months old Gradually thickened, they may ap- pear in "porridGe" form by the time he is c year and . half old. Tn Q restricted diet. cereals can be sued profitably twice Q day Two kinds can be served for the sake fvariety. Preference should be given to those made from whole grains.

A mother writes me that she simply cannot make her boy speak English correctly. She adds partial explanation; her husband, it appears. is careless, in fact, H. literate, and is inclined to ridicule here attempts to correct him or the boy. A daughter. going to high school, knows better. but simply won't give up her vernacular or wise cracking.
 What is she to do? This mother wants to know. She is ambitious for her son to take up Q profess sion and T know how necessary 1t is for a doctor or lawyer these days to have a bacxground of cul- ture," she writes. And if they do not come by it naturally when they are little they never really get 1t at all." situation Not Uncommon
 Her problem is not by any means unique - unless In one re- spect it differs somewhat from the complaint of mothers a short gen. eration ago. Older sisters used to shudder at their younger brothers "aints' and '.gees" and misplaced participles. If they still do so, they are offering something even more pernicious in its stead the slang lingo of the day that is increasing so rapidly one is afraid to utter a decently sober, straightforward sentence any longer in their presence. We are laughed down. orsdiscounted as nuts"
 Yes, this mother is in a tight place with her boy. Of course, she has the teacher on her side. but children are influenced more | outside of school more than they are in it. For one thing they talk a hundred times as much at home as in school. The object lesson of dad saying Heller" or 'T been" or You got to go" or 'Leave him be-" will sink in deeper than all the conjugation and parsing in the world. Sisters idea of witty re- partee being. "Oh, yeah? ?" or "Sez your" or "I'll be seein' yuh!" will have more hold on his speech area than all the diagraming out oi "Sir Roger de Coverly." Children speak the way they hear other people talk, particularly the family. They do not speak the way they are taught in schoo unless it is supplemented at home Lke Father, IAlze Son
 As for this father, 1t is probably not his fault that he is using sucf unkempt grammar-he. too. prob ably had a father! But compuI' sorry education has been in vogue long enough in this country foi most parents to have had Q very excellent opportunity to master English if they had so desired Any American who is illiterate IT these days has usually only him. self to blame. if he Is under forty years of age.
 All that this mother can do Il to stand her ground. Men dis' like to be corrected and hisf school girls hate 1t still more. Bul even at the risk of trouble, should keep at 1t. Instead ol growing indignant. these reprovet ones should thank the woman whe Is trying to raise the standard ol here households diction.
