kerchief to her face and ran swift ly from the room.
 Beryl turned back to her mother. whose expression was a mixture of embarra ssment and dismay. Her stepfather too looked restless.
 Beryl sat down in the chair that Irene had vacated, pushing the empty plate before her aside. Irene obviously had been able to enjoy the omelet her mother had pre- pared. Well, what is it?" Beryl asked.
 Her mother made a fretful move ment Now don't take that one, she began, but her husband. who had decided to enlighten Beryl, cut her short.
 "Tell her! Tell her!" he ex claimed vociferously. Let her take it anyway she wants to. It's bad enough for you to encourage the little fool, but you can't expect everyone else to sympathize with
 Mrs Everett flushed angrily. "Your own daughter" she shrilled at him.
 "Yes, and I'm not so proud of that" MT Everett retorted.
 For heavens sake.' Berry, pleaded. What is the natter"
 "I'u tell you" her stepfather de- clared excitedly. That feather brained Irene has left her husband That's what's the matetr!"
 Left him." Beryl repeated in creduously. What for?"
 "That's something she hasn't deigned to tell us," Mir Everett replied with an accusing look at his wife. "She said she couldn't talk about it and your mother upheld her" ,,
 "You could give her time" Mrs Everett whimpered.
 "Time! I've right to know
 Mothers right, dad," Beryl said soothingly. There are things you can't talk about"
 Well" Mir Everett clustered subsiding a trifle, "I won't have her led on in any silly quarrel between her and her husband. You find out before long what she left him 1or' he added, addressing his wife. Mrs Everett got up to go to Irene, but the expression on her tear-stained face was not sup nissive. MT Everett followed her retreating figure with anxious eyes,
 Lets face it." Beryl said to him wearily when he turned back to her. "If it's a serious break be- tween Irene and Gaylord we can't help. Mother will uphold her in

But alas and alack - the children on the other side of a street always have the incest toys, the bigges: yard, the greatest attractions. That is always true.
 Nancy and Peter talked to their near-three year old son. But the words "killed' 'or run over by an automobile" meant little to him. He never had seen q killing and Nancy hoped he never would.
 At the beginning of summer she stood with him at the curb. When he started to run across the street. Nancy said, "No," in an emphatic tone. When he did not heed that she waited until he had taken his first step down then she spanked him at once and at the curb. It hurt, and he soon learned to as- sociate the stepping into the street with punishment. He knew why he was spanked because the punish ment came pat on the misdeed.
 He learned his lesson, but in the excitement of catching ball or playing with the older children he still would dart unexpectedly into the street. When Nancy saw 1t. nnd she made 1t her business to watch, he was punished. Before long ne had learned the caution that modern child must learn. Punish >rnSnt has its uses in curing a dan- 1nR0n1n habit. -.

YoUR CHILDREN

Ry Olive Roberts Barton

They say that there are no grandmothers nowadays. To that I add three hoorays, for see old age ahead of me somewhere, and I hate it.
 Not that 1 shan't try to grow old I as gracefully as I can; not that l shall mind too terribly the loss of energy that is bound to come, the cooling of mbition, and the lessen- ing of hope. One expects the grad ual decline of earthly things. But shall mind like everything the loss of my personality, particularly if it is incorporated into the household of one of my children.
 Now I suppose you are wondering where all this gets us, and what my feelings for my future have to do with the matter.
 Only this: What I fear, a million other older women are experiencing, and several million more are dread ing.
 Defining Her Place r. Quite often the grandmother in a family is quite happy. That speaks well not only for herself, but for her children and grandchildren. l
 mains q real person with a positive identity. But quite often the re- verse is the case.
 This brings us to a very delicate subject. Just what is grandma's place in the house-any house-to- day In the new order of things we know that too many supervisors are not good for a child; that individ- uality, resourcefulness, and person. ality do not develop so well under multiple reminders and reproaches There can be too many bosses.
 Does this elimination mean a step down for the older woman? Abso- lutely not. It is, indeed, several flights up, because the role of friend is always higher than the role place is now. She should be one of the greatest friends her grand children ever will know.
 Does this mean that she is to make the usual sacrifices connoted by friendship, and give what is left Of her short years to service for them? If she is happier that way, yes, but what about the children? True friendship is not a one-sided affair-acceptance on one side and giving on the other. The happiest part of friendship IS reciprocity, ana the children should do their part.
 Completing Cycle
 They can learn to do willingly a hundred little services for the wo- man who served their mother, or father as their parents are now working for them. I like the cycle the third generation turning back to the first with the idea of honor. love, and service, a spontaneous ser vice that has nothing to do with obedience. And this goes for grand fathers, too.
 In this more pleasant capacity the older people are going to provide much higher field of development for their grandchildren than by the archaic one of assistant boss and catchiZer.
 The Chinese have the right idea about their honorable ancestors

Ry Marqery HaLe

'1'm going to report you to the landlady. Think that will stop you?" the cool, cynical tones went on.
 "No. Go and report. See if I care"" Sue reflected almost unconscious ly that she might have been Cor rinne. Her sister would have fared back at the man this way. A few minutes later the land lady came to the door. explained that it was too late for such dis turbances as the pounding of type- writer keys, and departed. Sue thought she heard a chuckle across the hall.
 But I'm not through with you," she told the young man. through the partition, although she said it so low that he couldn't hear her. At the minute she didn't realize how true her words were.
 And to make matters worse Sue lost her job the next day. She wouldn't go home and admit it to her family. She would find another one, she agreed. Find 1t and keep busy. But jobs wer as hard to one. Two days passed. The mail didn't bring a letter from Jack. But it took two away from Sue.
 Coming in just at dusk one eve- ming Sue noticed two shadowy shapes silhouetted on the landing above. She heard Sarah say:
 "So you finally waylaid me, did you, Billie Burton? Won't you sit down on the steps and be sociable ? We could gossip about our neigh bors if we knew them. As it was. I guess we'll have to talk about our selves"
 That's exactly what I wanted to do," the mans voice answered. He sat down along the edge of the bannisters and swung one leg over the other one.
 Sue didn't want to eavesdrop, but she didn't want to interrupt. She went into the small reception room and sat down on slippery chair with a back that was at least two feet higher than her head. She won dered why people had ever invested in such massive furniture. Some one in the room cleared his throat Sue swung around. The tall young man who had asked her not to type was reading paper as though waiting for someone.
 Don't go. It's public waiting room," he told Sue. Did you fin- ish your manuscript the other night l? What were you doing? Practicing up to get job?"
 Still not understanding why this man antagonized her so, Sue shook her head. No. I had one" That was the truth. She had had one then, even if she had lost 1t such q few hours later. Maybe he would not notice the use of the past tense in her verb. She wondered if her antipathy was a throw-back to the natural warfare that some writers claimed existed always between men and women.
 Well, there wasn't anything very rhythmic about your typinG. I'd hate to have you In my office," the man answered. Sue remembered the rows of asterlks she had made just to keep her hands busy. Of course they had been monotonous. But speedy. And she had craved speed.
 Sue arose and walked into the hall, She would have to interrupt the tete-a-tete.
 But why won't you marry me ?" she heard Dr. Burton ask Sarah. Sue knew that he didn't realize how his voice carried. In the dim light from the hall lamp Sue saw Sarah's face. She glanced at the girl at the foot of the stairs and her lips framed the words, Say something"
 "She can't. She's marrying some- one else" Sue answered.
 'What?" Sue swung around quick

Scalp massage is as necessary to summertime good looks as getting out of doors and letting the sun thaw out your disposition.
 The idea of scalp massage is to exercise your scalp, aid circulation and tone up the scalp so that no amount of exposure to wind and sun can dry it up and break your hair to bits.
 As a matter of fact, summer should be time when you take such good care of your hair that you are proud to go hatless most of the time.
 Massage Firmly
 After you have patted tonic into your scalp all over your head, by parting the hair in orderly lines, tip your head forward and begin to massage it.
 Make a slow, leisurely but firm job of 1t. Get the notion that you just must loosen every bit of scalp on your head, if it takes all day.
 Plant your thumbs firmly behind your ears to steady your hands and then make your fingers do the work. Begin right at the base of the head because that is where circulation starts and it is therefore very i'm portant.
 Try to hold your fingers steady and firm and make your scalp TO- tate in steady, circulatory manner, small part of it at a time. This loosens it up, relaxes the muscles. aids circulation and helps the oil glands to work properly.
 Then Shake It
 Work from the back of the neck out toward the ears, then on top of the head, then on the temples. then right in front. You should neglect no single bit of the scalp in this loosening process. When you finish loosening all of your scalp, then plant your thumbs even more firmly behind your ears and try to shake your scalp. ,s
 If you succeed in massaging your head the way you should, your whole scalp will jingle pleasantly when you finish. This Is as it should be. If you persist in this treatment both night and morning for given time, your scalp will stay nice and loose and your hair health will benefit measurably.

Attractive dressing is not always the amount you spend. Indeed not, many, many times the smartest eff fects are the result of very simple combinations. Take today's model, there isn't anything any smarter or more simple And it's so utterly feminine and frilly.

Although ham is suited to all sea sons of the year, 1t finds special favor during the summer months. Because of the curing process it keeps well. Then, too, 1t lends itself to various methods Of serving. either hot or cold.
 Canadian bacon, w:...ch is the tenderloin of pork cured and smoked, always can be substituted for ham. It is especially suitable for small families since it can be purchased in two or three pound pieces. It is higher in price per pound than ham but there is no waste of bone or fat.
 Something tart seems essential as an accompaniment to ham, but try to avoid the monotony of always serving the same thing. The follow ing list may help you to concoct

New evening wraps which exclu- sive houses are beginning to show sound the death knell for the useful little jackets that are so ubiquitous this summer.
 If you have one or several you might as well wear them out and have good time doing so, for au- tumn evening wraps will be longer and wrappy.
 The new ones for mid summer are exquisitely fashioned of soft, sheer velvets. satins, chiffons pleat- ed and embroidered, and of other rich but thin stuffs.
 Styles Borrow Old Themes
 They are tremendously individual in cut. Some of them ask that you be exceedingly tall and slender to show them off to advantage. Others, of course, are cut to fatter your short stature, if that is what you have.
 Inspiration for these lovely gar ments comes from all kinds of sources. Some are quite medieval in their cut. Others with tendency towards drapery here and there.
 One of these is especially ap- pealing, made of chartreuse chiffon velvet and cut in a design all its own. t
 Sleeves Are Mere Sits
 It is very Grecian in effect and so draped that description eludes you. However, the front is shirred up to the left shoulder, forming a soft, large scarf in the back and giving adequate room for the arms within the wrap.
 For sleves, mere, slits in the gor- geous velvet allow your arms to come through. or just your hands, if you feel like withdrawing from the evening air.
 Length is noticeably longer in this wrap. And it shows, too, the increasing tendency toward such

The Page home was set we'll back from the street, but like all the other homes in the neighborhood there was no fence setting it apart from its neighbors nor from the street itself.
 This made Nancy dread the many hours when Peter was playing out of doors. She knew that since he was a city child he would have to learn to look out for himself. She realized she could not always smooth his path for him and stop automobiles from going down the street. But she offered many 8 fervent prayer for his safety. And to make the pray CTS effective she tried to teach him to stay out of the street.

 Tommy nodded in agreement.
 Yes," he said grimly, q guess she will. But she must have known I'd never amount to much. That's the reason she threw me over prob ably"
 Never amount to much?" Beryl flashed angrily. You've come through and that's what counts"
 Tommy disagreed. You're re- sponsible for what I've done. can't take any credit"
 Beryl shook her head in denial. Don't believe that" she said earn estly. 'I simply asked you to make good on a debt I felt you owed me. and you did it. You deserve all the credit for that. But I hope you don't feel it's necessary to your self-respect to have anyone's ap- proval."
 .No," Tommy said slowly. "It isn't that" Beryl, tremulous and eager, felt hope die as her com- panion hesitated for words.
 He went on then to talk to other things and did not mention Irene again. Beryl could not know what 1t meant to him to think of meet ing his sweetheart as another mans wife. Guesses were unsafe. but she hazarded few. She could not help this, for under the calm that had descended upon Tommy she sensed a tremendous agitation
 When he said goodby to her be- fore taking a subway train at Long Island City for upper New York his words were commonplace but there was a look in his eyes that caused her uneasiness.
 She worried over Tommy all the way home, forgetting to prepare herself for her meeting with her sister. The family were still at the dinner table when she arrived. Irene did not rise to greet her. Beryl hesitated an instant, then said casually, Hello. How are you?"
 Irene knew then that Beryl had not wanted her to come home. And I think" she said to herself. "that I can guess the reason.
 Tommy to school" she remarked sweetly and sighed, "Poor Tommy.
 I'm so glad he stopped asso- ciating with those horrid Larkin boys" ., ,,,.
 Beryl looked at her mother but Mrs Everett avoided the glance.
 "How is Gaylord? ?" Beryl asked. Irene did not answer and Beryi sensed tension in the atmosphere. She looked inquiringly from one to the other, but no one gave her any information about Gaylord.
 Suddenly Irene broke the silence bv jumping to her feet and cry ing to her mother in broken ac- cents. "I can't go through 1t again. You tell her!" Then she put hand
