YOUR CHILDREN
MNiIpRobeyzsBaf1n oio3l0Y NtA SERVICE. INC |

When first started to teach school drew large percentage of my pupils from the slum dis tricts.
 I was young. I hadn't learned to recognize that peculiar clay color in children that comes of hunger and malnutrition. But all I have to do now is to close my eyes and look down the rows and pick out the tots that are starving.
 Strange that I remember only vaguely many of my schools since that time but that first year sticks. remember so many names and faces and even the dresses the lit- tie girls wore.
 I did keep shoes and extra clothes in the cupboard. did go to several homes where "sickness" was reported on the absent blank to discover that coal and food was the needed medicine. But l was young and I didn't do enough. If those days could come back and I were there trying to teach the diff ference between short and long "a," I would do better. Regardless of the red-bearded superintend- cnt's visit--inspection - it was called, should take chance on Tony Tarpo, gray and thin and whizzened, reading "cool' for "coal' and I'd send someone or go myself to see which word fitted his house, or if Tony had had any breakfast besides half a pickle or q slice of cold potato-or none that morning.
 Watch for Danger Signs
 I should watch when eyes were dull and tiny brains too and heads went down on desks so listlessly. should notice the bloated pasty look that illness and wrong food bring. And the damp shoes and this clothes I should peel my eyes for too.
 Yes, I hear lot of people say, "Oh, you would, would you? Where would you get the time? You'd lose your job is you turned welfare worker instead of teacher. Then where would you be?"
 We'll did do it-a lot of it.. And I had sixty pupils and exam nations coming-exam!nat too long and too hard for about half the children in my room. But as I say. I should have done more. I should stop keeping children in for whispering and take that hour aft CT school in times like these to visit one home 0 day where I had any idea they were in distress.
 I should have the more prosper our children bring little present each day to school, if their parents could afford it and approved-a few potatoes, a cupful of beans, a

NANCY PAGE Ann and Peter Are
 Warm and Happy
 s~e.~ By Florence T,a Ganke

"What shall Ann wear out of doors this winter, Nancy7"
 "If were you, I'd get her a brushed wool outfit. She isn't large enough to play out in the snow. She scarcely needs Q zipper suit such as I have for Peter. She will stay in her pram or carriage most of the time, or ride with you in your machine. She is too large for a bunny outfit, the kind which wraps her all in and allows her arms and legs no freedom. That is the kind l think I wil use for Susan.
 But when you get the brushed wool suit for Andy (Nancy usually called the little girl Andy" rather than baby Ann now that she was growing so tctivesand robust) be sure that you don't get too large nor expensive a one. She will out grow 1t by next winter. And any way, brushed wool does not look fresh for more than one season, even with care.

When getting clothes for chill dren I think 1t is too bad to buy them too large on the assumption that by next year the child will be large enough to fit them. The result is that the youngster does not look smartly dressed the first year when the clothes are new. Then by the second year the clothes are past their newness and have sagged and dragged. and again the effect is poor. It's all right to buy grown ups clothes for a two year wearing season but not a growing child's outfit"
 This sounded like sense to Lois. Does 1t to you?
 For Ann's night wear she had one piece sleeping garments which kept feet warm, legs and arms covered and chest and back pro- tected.

 Never again! Never again should that odious man be allowed to do A Kindness to one of her friends. as he had done to Dan.
 Judy ran up the stairs and flung herself into Chummy's room. She did not expect to find Chummy there. but they shared the little writing table, and she wanted to write a note to Bruce Gideon. She had just remembered that she had promised to lunch with him on the following day.
 Nexer again!
 Chumfny had done wonders to her room, and 1t was quite pre- sentable now. The screen around the bed and toilet table had been recovered. There were some cheap rugs on the floor. Her aunt, Miss Morley, had given her an old chest, little writing bureau, and tall old-fashioned mirror. out of her small allowance she had bought two wicker chairs, cushions for them, and @ jar or two of pottery for flowers. She had the artists capacity for importing beauty to the simplest things; and the sun came into the room in the after- noon.
 It was about five o'clock when Judy got back. She must have been later than she thought at Storna- . ways. Her dancing practice had been vary trying that morning. She had had practically no lunch, and she felt ready, to drop. Her five senses seemed to have failed her, so that she was almost up to the writing table near the window was not empty.
 Alan Steyne was standing in the widow, with his back to her, read ing a newspaper. He turned, near ing her, and she gave q litle cry.
 1T thought you were in Maine!" q came back this morning, 1 sooner than l expected. was just going to leave Q note for Clarissa, asking her to dine. I've been with the lawyers most of the time. I'm letting my place."
 Letting it."
 "Yes-some people are very keen on it for the fishing, and the shooting later on. They're paying a big rent. I've let 1t for months. It seems silly to leave it empty"
 "But when you're married!" "Clarissa wants to so abroad he said. "So do l." He was gazing at her earnestly. Judy, you look tired to death!"
 q am a bit fagged," she said, and dropped into 0 chair.
 The mention of his marriage had started that mad fury in her brain again. Chummy was girl good enough to marry-Chummy was not girl of no account, like little Judy Grant! She burst into tenn pest of tears, wailing and rocking herself to and fro.

 And before the servant could answer she was running down the stairs and had reached the front door.
 The maid went to find Storna- way and delivered the message. She found him with Bruce Gideon his den. Both men assumed that Judy had just come to the front door and left the message. They made no comment, and shortly afterward Gideon took his leave.
 Judy, meanwhile, walked as fast as her legs could carry her. She was deaf and blind with fury. She did not See where she was going, and 1t was a miracle that she was not run over at the crossings.
 Not the sort of girl one could marry! It wouldn't be Title Judy Grant,"
 The words rang in her ears like clashing bells. They reused the devil in her. She could gladly have killed both Gideon and Stornaway if she had been strong enough.
 So that was what Mir Punch thought of her! All this time he had been scheming to make her believe that he was decent-trying to deceive her. Then, when she was thoroughly blinded. when the time came, then. no doubt She ground her little teeth as she rushed headlong through the park. She found herself, presently, and remembered that she wanted a new pair of stockings for her dancing practice. She was always wearing holes in her stockings, and they hurt her when they were too much darned. She was such a bad dam cer and Chummy, who would have loved to do it for her. was worse. She went into a shop and bought a pair at random. She was free | ly glad, inside her violent little being, that she owed nothing to Bruce Gideon-not thing beyond the introduction to Guarvenius, ex- cept few meals and motor trips. She need never seat. at the same table with him or go to theater with him again. When she wanted to see dancing, she could save up, as she used to do, and go and stand up in the gallery, or let one

Face masks often ease an acute case of acne and give you a hope full feeling about your complexion that you might not have otherwise at that moment.
 for acne are those vegetable ones that are recommended for your special case by someone who has analysed 1t.
 Beauty parlors can recommend herb masks for acne and if you are suffering from this particular blemish, it is worth while to have a little aid.
 Besides all external treatment for acne, there are two things you can and should do that actually help your skin.
 You should get an abundance of rest and fresh air and train your nerves into the best possible con- dition.
 Sometimes those suffering from acne become so sensitive that they hesitate to go abroad during acute outbreaks of it. This is a foolish attitude but one that is under standable. The way to change your attitude is to look sensibly at this outbreak, and to realize that hun dreds of people have it, that it often is the result of a rundown system, too much strain, times of turmoil in the system, such as adolescence. Do not be overly sensitive.
 You will not be judged just by this temporary bad complexion you have. If you can do your best to help your skin and then com pletely forget it, your mental state will help restore the smoothness that you desire.
 This is one reason why going to a beauty specialist for diagnosis and the purchase of some herb face packs Is an excellent thing to do. The very fact that you arc making an effort to cure your face will help you psychologically.

"No, I'm not in love with any, one," Ruth Bradley answered Sues question. Not in the least. "why?' "Then you're funny. Everyone is in love-" Sue explained.
 But if she had been in the Brad ley living room a few hours later she would have understood.
 Sally had gone away, waving a gay goodbye. escorted by good looking youth. Nice, but hasn't any money" she had explained him. Works too hard. It makes him more fun when he does play. There's a hot orchestra at the club tonight. Oh, Ruth! I almost for- got. You're an ace with a needle and ripped the hem in my cream georgette last night. Will you be darling and sew 1t up? Thanks. You haven't anything else to do."
 There had been laughter pretty soon. Low voices. The whirr of an engine. Flood of yellow lights down the drive. Then silence.
 Ruth went downstairs.
 The living room was not occu- pied. Her parents were away, too.
 Its 50 nice that you are always here," her mother had said once. Il don't mind going away so much"
 sally's perfume fingered in the room. She had left a careless lip- stick on the davenport.
 Ruth leaned over and picked 1t up. She went to the mirror and looked at her mouth. It was pret- ty. She knew that. The lips were firm and rosy enough without rouge. They curved provocative ly. But no one seemed to take any interest in them. She had never used lipstick. Her hospital days somehow had made her avoid 1t.
 Now she started to deepen the shade of her mouth. To make 1t even more alluring. When she was through she gazed at herself, startled.
 "It really helps," she said soft ly. "I look much more--daring than did" She took her fingers, rose touched with the blur of rub ping color into her lips, and touch- ed her cheeks. Their natural flush, 6 pale pink, deepened. and imme- diately her eyes called attention to the fact that they were large and dark. Before, she had been sweet and pretty. Now she was daring and a little exotic.
 And now that I have learned a trick or two, I'll probably spend the evening reading a magazine she said. ..
 The doorbell rang. She could hear the maid going to answer it..
 "Friend of the family, and I'll have to be entertaining" she moan ed. "Or someone for Sally who VIII hurry away when he sees me-"
 But when a tall, broad-shoui- dered young man with rough fair hair and a quick step entered the room she felt her courage ebbing.
 "Oh, good evening, Dr Raynor," " she said quietly. Sally isn't here. I'm sorry" ,-
 Hello, Ruth" He tossed his hat on the davenport. What IS she trying to do? Make dates and run away from them?"
 Are you sure 1t was your night?" Ruth asked. "She ran along with someone else to the dance at the club"
 Suffering alligators!" He swung around. Tt is the night of the dance, isn't 1t? had forgotten. It's tomorrow night I'm supposed to take your sister among the flesh pots. Mind if talk to you a few minutes"
