NANCY PAGE Dice Golf Is Easy to
 Learn and Fun to Play By Florence Ia Ganke

"Heigh ho for a new game, and an exciting one at that" Such an announcement was sufficient to bring a group over to Nancy's any evening.
 She called this game "dice golf" Here are the rules:
 Get five dice. Make a score card with six lengthwise divisions and as many crosswise ones as there are players. Six divisions are needed since there are six spots on the die.
 Each player shapes all five dice. The object of each player is to see in how few plays or throws he can fill the six holes. If he starts with hole three" let us say, he keeps on throwing until all his dice have fallen with three" uppermost. Just as soon as the die does show three" he removes it and throws the remaining dice until each of them In turn has come up three"
 In Jeans case it took ten throws to get all her dice to fall three" up. Tom required seven throws to get his five dice falling with two"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-10-13

The first throw determines which hole Is to be filled first. Suppose that Jean threw her five dice at the start and they fell "one," Tour" ''six." and two "threes" made her decide she would start with her three hole. Had there been a majority of Hours" she would have started with that hole. The one spots are wild" that is. they may be called equivalent of whatever hole is being filled. This does not apply, of course, when the one spot hole Is the one being filled. Then the die must lie with lone" up.
 Each player continues to throw until he has completed any given hole. He must, like all the rest, have all six holes filled before the game is ended. The lowest score, or total number of throws required to fill all holes wins the game.
 Be sure to remove a dice just as soon as it has fallen with the re- quired number upon its face. Re- member "one'' sports are wild. Ana

crammed it into her purse. What difference did it make whether she got off at Eighth street or Broad ?
 One or two other passengers looked at the white-faced girl curiously. She stared through the window, unaware of these glances. Half an hours ride brought them to Broad street. Norma followed the others out of the bus. She glanced up and down the street, then started walking westward.
 Across the street the hands of an illuminated sidewalk clock shone clearly. Seven forty-five. Norma was surprised to find 1t so late. Last night at this time she and Mark had been packing his travel ing bags. Last night? It must have been years ago!
 q can't go on this way" Norma told herself. i've got to decide what to do." ,..
 She had come to the end of her plans. Curiously during all the time she had thought about slip ping away from the Travers home she had never planned the next step. Of course she must find a place to live. Somewhere Marks father and mother would not look for her. Chris apartment would be the first place they they would think of-providing they made any effort at all to find her. Norma was not sure they would bother.
 Still 1t was betetr to stay away from Chris.
 The girl stopped at a corner and bought newspaper.
 T ought to eat something,' she remembered. She was not hungry but 1t would be folish not to eat She had scarcely tasted food dur ing the past three days.
 There was restaurant down the street where Norma had offer lunched, a cheap, clean place. One of a large chain of restaurants She, went there, found table 1T an obscure corner of the big room

 All morning as she raved through the shops the eager joy ousness went with her. She wanted travelling dress, for there was to be little formality to the wedding. But it must have an intriguing sort of charm and be very, very smart. she had decided. She con- sidered coloring and type, Dark blue eyes that were a little more successful against a blue back ground as blue eyes generally are. Hair, blue-black, that shone against ] the gypsy shades. Clear skin, rose | flushed, even red lips.
 And thank fortune my eyelashes and eyebrows are dark and thick and curly" she unused, as though that was more important than the wedding ceremony. or the frock, or the ring.
 A saleswoman who evidently had the same idea as to colors brought catch her breath. The coat was q l ueep, NlIlc lNNth' "-SAA s' SNNA that tied audaciously over one shoulder. The dress was partly of a deep blue. the color of myster- ious midnights and oceans. One fitted into the other so perfectly that there was no clash at all. Sue knew she wanted the costume the moment she saw it. The frock was slim and close-fitting, and the coat was gay and little daring.
 It probably hadn't expected to go to a wedding. Sue reasoned. It had planned on a football game with a tea dance afterwards. She found wine-colored suede pumps with great buckles and tongues that somehow made the slippers small CT instead of larger She found a wine -colored turban that slanted over one eye in the same proVoca- tive manner, and suede purse ana gloves that matched.

 YOURSELF
By Alicia Hart
BY NE1 SERVICE INc:

Wrinkles and lines on your face must start to get rid of them be- cd into your skin.
 Temporary lines will appear around the eyes due to lack of the proper amount of sleep, and due to eye strain. Even children have them occasionally. Repetition of this condition will deepen the lines and make them permanent.
 A few minutes attention each day will soften them and make them fainter, but do not imagine you can completely eradicate them except by surgery. Use rich nourishing cream around your eyes every night and 1t will not only soften the wrinkles which are already there, but will tend to pre- vent new ones. With your fore finger gently lift the upper lid and eyebrow about twenty times each day. It stimulates the circulation and keeps the upper lids from be- coming baggy. There are astrin- gents for puffs under the eyes.
 Puffs and circles are often caus- ed from kidney trouble, eye strain and excessive smoking. Remedy your physical condition and then, if the puffs and circles still insist on their presence, try manipulat- ing your upper lids with the fore finger daily and using little cotton pads soaked in an astringent around your eyes nightly.
 If your mouth has begun to droop and make lines around the corners, take some mouth exer- cises. Rapidly repeat all the vow els Ga, e, i, o, u.) aloud, beginning slowly and then saying them as rapidly as you possibly can. Then say "Oh-ah," bringing the cor neFs of the mouth together on the "oh' and opening and stretching your mouth as far as possible on the "ah."
 Now give your face a gentle massage. Rub a nourishing cream around your mouth and cheeks and then, with upward and out ward strokes, lift your skin from the corners of your mouth up to your temples. Don't set your mouth in a firm line and go. to sleep worried. Think of something pleasant and go to sleep with a smile playing around your lips.
 The downward lines from the nose to the corners of your mouth can be softened by massage. If you have wrinkles in your neck, use a nourishing cream and mas sage them upward from the base of your throat to the tip of your chin.

NEW DICTIONARY
 LISTS SLANG

Chicago.-Noah Webster might have thumbed through all his source books and etymological tables in vain and never found defi- nitions of some of the words listed in the new Historical Dictionary of American English"
 Indeed, the worthy Photographer might be profoundly shocked. could he return to-day to examine the new dictionary being prepared under the auspices of Chicago and the editorship of Sir William Craigie, for 30 years editor of the Oxford dictionary.
 In the new dictionary is found the language of the street, the night club and the speakeasy, of inventions, institutions and devel- opments undreamed of when Web ster set himself to his task.
 More than 100000 words have been recorded for the new book. A few examples of words follow:
 Bootleg, speakeasy, blah, fizzle. whoopee, ace. black bottom, deb, awful, debunk, blighter, dizzy, finicky, Black Maria, blockhead.

 Suddenly she realized that the car had stopped. MT Travers was getting out.
 Be home around six" he said over his shoulder. Needn't come for me, Harvey. I'll stop at the club and ride out with Summer ville." He moved clumsily as he got to the sidewalk and turned away without a backward glance.
 The chauffeur looked question ingly toward Mrs Travers. You may take us home, Har- vey." The woman sighed as she spoke. "Such a day!" she mur- mured to Norma. Il had to rush away from luncheon. Meeting trains and waiting in stations is loathsome, don't you think so? I'll be glad to have my tea"
 The girl did not answer. Mrs Travers gave her a searching glance, then went on. q want to tell you I think you've acted sensi- ply in this matter. my dear. So foolish to become emotional. Shows such i'll breeding. Of course I was Randolph before my marriage. No doubt that's why such things affect me so. The Randolphs, as you must know, have been leaders in this country since colonial times. Some day I'll show you the family history"
 The monologue continued. Mrs Travers grew animated as she re- viewed the importance of her an cestors. So many acres of land. Sc many servants. So many Randolphs in congress. A cousin in the gov ernor's chair. As long as she was talking Norma had her thoughts to herself.
 Now and then the girl nodded murmured ives" or mo-. Ii Mrs Travers had been observan' she might have been nettled that her words created so slight an i'm. precision. Mrs Travers was not ob- servant. To her it was inconceiv- ble that anyone should fail to be awed by the splendors of the Randolph.

YOUR
 CHILDREN

Looking over the situation of children in general, am con strained to think of the children of Israel in bondage in Egypt. The first slaves suddenly trans | planted into a. foreign country find- | ing themselves under the whip lash of alien tyrants, were probably the most unhappy of them all. But their children and their children's children probably did not know the difference. Not until Moses came along and led them away from their misery and suffering and showed them what freedom meant. Oh, no! Children are not born to misery and starvation and cruelty, at least not many of them, but the analogy holds in one re- spect. Children are seldom treated as though they had any individual right to think or act-they go, for the most part, through a daily routine of doing what they are told to do, and they submit most gracefully through it all in spite of the fact that their guardians are often wrong. They are born to a sort of slavery.
 | In a way this cannot be helped.
 
 live in a social world as respected citizens they must be clean, edu- cated and trained. Besides good health demands regularity of hours and obedience to the laws of hy- giene. It would be impossible tot turn out civilibed children by any different method from that which we are now pursuing.
 Counter Influence Needed 1 However, it is a sort of bondage just the same and will have the same far-reaching results if we do not make an effort to counteract it. Such ative-destroying influ- ence needs a counter agent.
 Natural impulses, or desires to assert oneself, will come out some way, or should. The stronger the impulse, the more disastrous the complex, if it is constantly thwart- ed.
 But what do we do if Sue or Timothy takes it into her or his head to do something that is not in the pages of our book? We usually take their heads off. don't! we? Tim takes a walk and is bit late for dinner-he takes his weekly allowance and buys a crow l SOllle cHuin lldS CduS ll-llc HtipS Mr Sweitzer paint his store front and doesn't rake our leaves-he takes d canoe ride and doesn't tell us where he is going.
 And how he catches it. This isn't the hundredth part of it, , either. We want him where we want him when we want him! He must do what we tell him to do when we want him. He must move on a string with us at the other end every second.
 When he is twenty-one, suddenly , we'll expect him to be worth five
 hundred dollars a month to some body. He won't be. He will be a , dandy if he's worth two cents. And that is why I think children are < wonderful. We don't save them. ? They save themselves.

Sue, waiting at the telephone for the long distance connection to be completed, wondered who was call ing her. And why. She hoped that nothing had happened which would upset her wedding plans. She and Jack were going to be married that day. she told herself again with a gay,ecstatic, yet half-frightened feeling. If something had happened
 She pulled her negligee closer and answered the voice at the other end of the wire. And then she heard laughing, Hitting voice.

BEGIN HERE TO-DAY

Pretty NORMA KENT, 2O-year- old secretary, marries MARK TRAVERS, son of K. M. TRAV- ERS, millionaire real estate deal- CT, in spite of the fathers OpDosi- ton and threats to disinherit Mark.
 The story opens in Marlboro, middle western metropolis. Mark sells his expensive roadster to get money for the honeymoon and he and Norma go to fashionable Blue Springs. There Norma meets Hol- lis Stone, and 1t is evident from the girls manner that she has known Stone before.
 Their money is soon gone, part ly due to Marks gambling. With $500 borrowed from Stone the couple return to Marlboro. Mark sets out on 8 round of pleasure seeking instead of hunting a job. When their funds dwindle again he and Norma move to 8 cheap apartment. Mark gets one job and loses it. Then he becomes a floor walker in Blossomdale's depart ment store. In spite of poverty the young couple are happy.
 Marks father sends for him, offers to take him back into his own company if Mark will prove he can make good. His first task involves a business trip to France. Norma is to remain at home. She is frightened but cannot persuade Mark to give up the opportunity. With his parents she goes to the railway station and sees him de- part on the five weeks trip.
 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER xxx
 Travers led the way through the station and his wife fol- lowed beside Norma. Mrs Travers said as they stepped out on the sidewalk, Harvey has the car over at the right"
 Everything before Norma was a blur. She followed Mrs Travers into the limousine. She sat close to the window and stared out at the street. There were men and women passing. Taxicabs and trucks and other vehicles. The whole scene before the girls eyes became a meaningless haze. She tried to wink back the tears but they persisted.
 Her father-in-law was saying something to his wife. Norma did not hear what it was. Then she was aware that they were moving away from the station.
 Somewhere in the distance train wheels turned faster and faster carrying Mark away from her. Mark was gonet There had been that last moment when she had seen him smiling back at her from the car platform. Waving and smil- ing. Now he was gone and she would not see him for five weeks. Five weeks-it seemed endless, inn possible!
 Norma cluched her hands to- gether tightly. She could not cry out now. She could not give way and sob out the terror in her heart. She could only sit there gripping her icy fingers, telling herself over and over that she must manage to keep from breaking down before these strangers. Yes, they were strangers and they hated her.
 The girls lips became tightly pressed line of crimson, struggling to steady itself but frequently trem- bling.
 Mark was moving farther away every minute. Nearer and nearer to New York and the ocean liner that was to put the Atlantic be-

The strenuous duties of the trained nurse permit little thought of her own physical condition or feelings. There can be no giving-in to menstrual painsl
 That is the reason whyso many nurses use Midol. They know it blocks all possibility of such pain for hours-and nurses know that it is not a narcotic and so is quite safe
