You can give up your job now" Jack murmured against the dark fragrance of Sues hair, "Was 6arnes a good chap to work for?"
 Was there worry in his voice ? Sue wondered. She decided that there was.
 "Dr Barnes was always very lovely, she answered. with fleet 7 ing memory of the adventures that were ended now. That was over.
 He knew was lonely, so he tried to be nice. That was all"
 She stirred in his arms and he held her closer.
 Then you don't mind giving up your work with him ?"
 Mind it?" Once more she laughed softly. Jack was so much like an eager little boy who was asking questions. repeating them so ne would be sure to get the an- swers he wanted. Don't you know that l just want to be where you are?
 He was satisfied then, and for a second he did not speak.
 Jack, darlingest, what happen ed? You've been gone so long :. and I never heard. -"
 You never heard ?" His voice was surprised. You mean you didn't get telegram"
 "A telegram? No. My letters came back unopened"
 You wrote to me?" he asked again, and Sue sensed that there was relief in his voice. Glad re- lief.
 "All the time." She could take the lonely nights when she had found no letters from him very calmly now that he was with her. And I called California-your club-and was told you were gone and no one knew where to reach you"
 But you knew that it wasn't my fault" he said slowly. Didn't you, Sue?"
 "Of course. And you knew, too, that 1t wasn't mine."

I thought I could get word to everyone. .. nobody but you and the law firm and my father were writing to me, anyway ..and the firm wrote to the Cal ifornia attorneys address.
 That's why I tried to call you and knew it would be several days until I could write, because there isn't much mail out of the place where was going and mail might have given me away, too. I sent a telegram when the line was disconnected. By the way, what happened?"
 "A storm. Just like this one," Sue answered, and moved her head from his shoulder so she could

The deep bib-like jabot collar at the front of this patterned wool and silk mixture frock, is one of the mest means of minimizing bodice breadth. It's very soft and flattering.
 The bias lines of the skirt carry out an idea of length and detract from hip bulk.
 And it's just the most simple thing imaginable to fashion it. The two-piece circular skirt is stitched to the two-piece hip yoke. The skirt is then attached to the bodice.
 Style No. 62S comes in sizes 36, 38, 40, 42, A and 46 inches bust. Size 36 requires 3-4 yards of 39- inch material with l yard of 3-inch ribgon for bow.
 Another fashionable scheme is black crepe satin with the jabot collar of white crepe satin.
 Black, dark wine-red or dark brown transparent velvet is ex- auisitely beautiful for more dressy occasions.

YOUR CHILDREN. MNNpRabers6al1z

When I was a little girl I used to visit an uncle who was a great nature lover. He would take me for long drives in a runabout, or a "surrey" in the summer and in an old fashioned cutter in the win ter.
 But wherever we went he was always stopping and pointing out views with his whip. Isn't that wonderfulv he would say. That's what I call country"
 And would sit and ty to pre- tend that had never, never, in all my life seen anything like 1t. l would even lean over backward, in my attempts to appear interested, and ask to be taken to see such and such a view again. Chiefly be- cause it pleased him.
 But a view didn't mean any, thing to me then. was only lit- tie girl and landscapes weren't in my line. If he had hitched up to a tree and gotten out and shown me a fuzzy worm or a birds nest, or a button-wood tree, or a long lazy pickerel hiding under a weed near the shore of a pond, would have loved it. As it happened was Just HOt Coiu cAouSh " oPPt ciate such a thing as view" loved the little things, the in.i- mate things I could emember.
 Fall Ofers Scenes of Beauty.
 All children are that way, but very few older people know 1t. Later on. when their ideas of beauty are more centralized, and more profounded, they are ready for views. Not that it is ever wrong to teech them, or to try to teach the mappreciation of every thing lovely at an early age, but if we really want them to be interest ed and to remember, we cannot disregard this idea of detail. Now. in the fall of the year. if we take them for a ride, we whizz through the country to get the air. and the view perhaps, and do well if we even call their attention to patch of wine-colored oak or scalet sycamore.
 Whw not get out of the car in a quiet lane and show them a few things about fall? If you are in- terested in birds you might try to identify a few lingerers who are still swarming in the wheat and oat stubble to get few last grains on their way south. Perhaps in a corn-field you may have the luck to see a quail or two, or better still, a whole covey.
 Tell them that the little purple daisies are wild asters, and take some home. There is still golden rod and wild carrot, or queens lace. Let them get home some of the lacy flowers to take home also. and dip in different colored dyes; queens lace takes on pastel shades very easily and keeps lovely for a long time. You may be lucky enough to discover some bitter sweet. or Solomon's seal. too. or matrimony vine. But, of course, do not break off trees or shrubs.

 YOURSELF
BY Alicia Hart
6lqa E7 MA SERVICE i!]S;''

Study the shape of your face and your natural coloring before you choose your rouge. Pinch your cheeks slightly to find out what your natural color really is. One shade of rouge will not do for every occasion and every costume. Consider the dress you are going to wear and the light under which you will appear.
 It is best to use a cream rouge under your powder and a dry rouge on top of it. Always apply cream rouge with an upward and outward motion, and blend 1t by using your finger tips until there are no harsh edges. Use 1t spar ingly on the lobes of your ears.
 If you have an oval face, simply intensity your natural coloring. A face that is too broad or too full should have rouge applied high on the cheeks and shaded in toward the nose.
 A too thin face can be made to look broader by placing rouge on the cheek bones and shading it away from the nose toward the ears. Always remember that rouge placed in hollows accentuates them. So, if you have dimples. rouge them a little and they'll be even more noticeable and at- tractive.
 If you wish to make a long chin appear shorter, put your rouge very high on your cheek bones and blend it upward to the temples. High cheek bones should not be rouged. Put color below them and you detract from their prominence.
 Don't use rouge on your chin. It not only makes 1t more promi- nent but lends a suggestion of a clown to your appearance.
 After the cream rouge has been thoroughly blended on your skin, dip a clean cotton pad in your powder and gently but firmly press it on every inch of your face and neck. Now take a soft complexion brush and brush off the surplus powder before you put on dry rouge.
 Never wear rouge enough to make your complexion look made up." The object of any cosmetic is to enhance the good points of your face and detract attention from the ones which are not so at- tractive. Of course, you can al- ways use more color on your face at night. Artificial lights tend to, make you look winter. But, for street and every day wear, use only enough makeup of any kind 10 make your skin look healthy and naturally lovely.

 "oh, did you see that?" he laughed. That was taken on an idle afternoon when I first started on the job. didn't have any more of them. The head of the firm out there happens to be sort of high mogul in golf circles and took me along. That's how I got in on the picture. Good egg. Had daughter that made me think of you, only she wasn't nearly as pretty. Lots older. I got snapped with her by a photographer from one of the wire services. I was getting too much publicity.

But Chris, mean it! I've been reading a lot of recipes in the pa per and I can't make head or tail of them. It says to haste the duck but I don't see why it needs to be sewed-"
 Explanations were in order. Chris. never-failing source of as- sistance. explained the term "bast- ing in its culinary use. She told Norma to get paper and pencil and when she had them and was back at the telephone gave careful in structions for preparation of the fowl.
 Ut really isn't difficult, Norma, /" the older girl said. Just do 1t the way I've told you and I'm sure there won't be any trouble. Of course you want to buy your duck at market where you know they'll give you a good one"
 "Oh. Mir Sykes always gives me good meat. I'm not worried about that part. Thanks thousand times, Chris. You certainly are a lifesaver. By the way, what are you doing Thursday? Why don't you come out? To dinner I mean! Wed love to have you--!"
 Chris declined the invitation with apologies. She had an engagement she said. She didn't specify where or with whom her dinner engage ment was.
 "Buit you will come out to see us soon, won't your" Norma in- sisted.
 "Of course I will. Sunday maybe. If there's anything else you want to ask about your duck don't hes itate to call"
 T won't. And I'll do 1t exactly the way you told me. Goodby, Chris. You certainly are an angel!"
 Wednesday morning. bright and early, Norma set out on hev shop ping tour. She bought a four pound duck which Mir Sykes, the dependable butcher. assured her would come out of the roasting oven flavorsome and tender. She stopped at the grocery store and ordered vegetables. a jar of mince meat. cheese and nuts and sever al kinds of fruit to make cen terpiece.
 The things were to be delivered, and as Norma walked home the crisp air brought color into her cheeks. The wind whipped her skirts. There was a park nearby and she always made the trip to the store walking along the edge of the park until she had to turn. Dead leaves rustled on the side- walk. The trees were nearly bare now. Somehow the fall had flown past without her realizing it. So much had happened in the past weeks.
 The dry leaves crunched under her feet. The girl felt an impulse, swiftly quelled. to forget about groceries and cooking and the cleaning that awaited her in the apartment and to spend the morn ing in the park. It would be ri- diculous-but 1t would be grand fun.
 Dutifully she turned away from the park and went on to the apartment. It had just oc- cured to Norma how she had spent Thanksgiving e year before. 4 dinner engagement with Bob Farrell. Almost the first time she had gone out with him. She rembared Bob had taken her lo a

Keep in Balance

ONE of the most interesting fields
~ calling for investigation today
is the relation between the various
ductlesS glands.
It is apparent to workers in the
field that the normal functioning Of
the body represents balance in
which the various hormones from
the different glands all play role.
Undoubtedly, the glands have GER
tain influences upon each other.
Recent experiments showed that
when the thyroid gland was re-
moved from tadpoles, they failed to
develop into frogs but remained as
tadpoles. DR.. B. M. Allen of the
University of California has found
that the same effect is obtained by
removing the pituitary body.
1t would seem, therefore, that both
the pituitary and the thyroid play
an important role in the normal
development and growth Of the in
dividual
One Of the most interesting recent
discoveries is that the breeding hab-
its Of the frog can be changed by
means of implants of the anterior
lobe Of the pituitary.
The ordinary leopard frog nor
nally breeds only once a year,
namely in April.
1t has been found in the labora-
tory of Professor F. NJ. Guyer at
the University of Wisconsin that
this frog can be made to breed in
either the fall or winter by the use
of implants of the anterior lobe.

By November 18th

Apparently the two upon whom Hoover de-
ponds most to block federal unemployment relief this
winter still are unsold on the Presidents obstruc-
zionist policy.
Unlike Judge Payne of the National Red Cross,
they have refused so far to rubber-samp the White
House faacy that federal aid under any condition is
unnecessary and sin.
These key men are Chairman Clifford of the
President latest unemployment committee and
Chairman Burns of the National Association of Com
munty Chests and Councils.
Clifford is keeping open mind the subject of
federal relief Reporters have tried to get him to say
that he supports the Hoover policy but he refuses.
He says we shall cross that bridge when we come
to it. First shall do our best to get local and state
agencies to meet the emergency and that fails then
we shall face the question of federal appropriations
is the way Clifford puts It,
Obviously that is a much more intelligent and
humane attitude than the dogmatism of the White
House.
Burns as head of the organization in charge of
private relief agencies in virtually all cities of $4,000
population and in the entire country probably
is in the most advantageous position to determine the
adequacy or inadequacy of local relief when the time
comes
Burns, like Clifford, has made clear that he retains
an open mind on the subject of federal relief.
Clifford and Burns wednesday fixed Oct 10 to
Nov Is as the period for estimating relief needs
throughout the country. AT that time Also the fed
eral government, unless it deliberately evades its
responsibility it did last year, will have reliable
statistics upon which to base its estimates of the win
ter unemployment
BY Nov. IS, therefore, the facts will be available
Congress- under our representative form of govern
ment is the only responsible body which decide
finally the question of the need Of federal ad-on the
basis of local relief agency receipts unemployment
statistics and its own inquiry among mayors and Gov
ernorS.
If the President viii call congress into an early
fall session it organize. ratify the debt morato-
rum, then take up the unemployment question on
Nov. IS and still have time to act before win
ter sets in.
But if the President persists in his refusal to call
an early session, he thereby will force congress either
to delay unemployment consideration until mid
winter when it is too late, to rush through half
baked legislation.
Such administration tactics would be as unfair to
congress and the country they are unworthy of
the President

Too Much Gold

Americas gold supply has set record.
We now have just under $4,000, 100000 nearly half
the worlds total. The gain in week was nearly
half billion.
Possession of this hoard is not the blessing that
might be expected, however.
We have so much gold that other nations find
it difficult to buy from US. to pay us what they
owe us. They can not pay with goods, because we
have SURPRISES of goods ourselves and have barred
many of their products through prohibitive tariff.
They can not buy with gold, because they not
spare it. Already reserves in many countries so
low that their monetary systems are endangered.
America of course, still can extend credit but
here again is vicious circle. Interest on earlier
credits is paid with credit and so on ad nf1nitum.
So that we have all this gold there is nothing
that we can do with it. We richer than any
nation has been, but we have six millions out
of work. many of them hungry.
How to redisribute gold is one of the chief prob
lens of the world depression.

perfect propriety, because every one
of them is out of print and you
can't buy one-even assuming that
you want to.
But Mr.. S. s. says he found a
copy of 1.-THE Boy Grew Older" in
dust bin. He not only read it,
but he says he liked it. I'm with
him in that same minority. I al
ways thought it was a swell book,
even though it was my first novel.
Mr.. S. wants to know, Are you
the father Peter in that book or
the son Pat or the mother?"
That gives me a lead to talk
about novels in general. Of course,
I was one of the characters in the
book. I was four or five. But I
think that this is what happens in
everybody's book. The author can't
keep himself out. In a sense every
piece of fiction is a sort Of autobi-
ography.
