YOUR CHILDREN
5yNljpRobevsBalsau
 JGlo5tB> A,SeRvlCf [

Mrs Max West, an authority on child care, says in s treatise on children's eyes: ''The care of the child's eyes should begin at the. moment of birth and continue throughout childhood.
 Healthy and normal eyesight is a priceless possession and no trou- ble is too great to secure it, nor is carelessness anywhere more inex- cusable that where the sight is in- volved. Many eye faults may be prevented or corrected by early care; and a child showing any ten dency to abnormarties, such as cross-eye, should be promptly placed in charge of a specialist in the care of the eyes.
 ''The child who persistently holds his book or his work too close to his eyes-that is, nearer than IA inches should be taken to the doc tor for examination. Many child who is seemingly slow or stupid about his school work may be suf- fering from ear-isghtedness or farsightedness, and when these troubles are corrected by the prop CT glasses will show prompt irn- provement in his work.
 Young Eyes May Be Injured
 Children need to be watched lest they harm their eyes in various ways, such as reading without suffi- cient light, by an unsteady of badly adjusted light, or using the eyes too long at time on the same work. They should be furnished with tables of a height suitable to &C., commodate the eyes at work with out requiring stopping or other posture involving strain. They should not read facing the light. nor should the light be reflected from a shiny surface; polished tables used for reading, studying, or other close work should be GOV cred with some dull-surfaced ma terial, like green felt, which does not reflect the light.
 |" It Is wise to teach a child to raise the yees and look out of the windows for few moments at fre- quent intervals during reading or close work, resting the muscles that have been focusing the eye for short distance.
 The eyes are often sensitive after illness, particularly after measles and scarlet fever, and the mother must take care that they not use dtoo sooon of too long at a time. Care at such times, even at the cost of some trouble in providing entertainment which avoids the use of. the eyes, should not be weighed against the harm that many result from overstrain.
 "The child should not be allowed to form the habit of rubbing the eyes. A teaspoonful of boric acid dissolved in a pint of water is an excellent eye wosh, and child who consistently rubs his eyes may need 10 have them washed every day. Such treatment will doubt less do much to prevent styes and crusts on the edges of the lids, to allay Inflammation. and often to avert more serious trouble. Use bits or absorbent cotton for cleansing the eyes--a piece for each eye and destroy them immediately"

wanting to talk to you about all this for weeks"
 His frown deepened. All this ?"
 About us. Plans"
 Panic drove her on. After all he had announced In the beginning that their marriage was to be purely a business partnership. He had married her to escape the bondage of his mother domineer- ing. Now that he had come into his own there was no reason they need continue with this empty form of existence. It was a mock cry.
 T don't know what you mean, Liane."
 He said her name so seldom that the sound of it in his deep voice set her heart 10 pounding.
 She said, T think it is wicked that you should still be bound to me. We're quits now. You'd be better off without me-"
 He started at her. What he thought was this, She means she wants to be free"
 You saved my life," Liane blundered on. "I owe you that You have a right to whatever you want. If you are tired of this arrangement it's natural enough. should be the last one to re- proach you for that"
 She's thought 1t all out" he reflected. She's trying to save my face by putting it this way"
 None of this showed in his face as he answered in voice strange ly harsh, Just as you like. Per haps we had better see to the de- tails before mother comes back. We can get 1t all out of the way without any fuss and furry"
 She turned away to hide her tears. What she had expected of this interview she did not exactly know. Now she was certain that Give was still displeased with her. She felt bitterly ashamed. What a miserable creature she was? She had brought nothing but trouble to this house. Even when she had tried to run away she had shown herself too weak, too help less, to sustain herself.
 After Give left she indulged in. an orgy of self-abasement. She thought wildly, People kill them SGANGS NAtA thCy A1Si AetAA- ures but I have not even courage enough for that"
 No, she would not kill herself. She had brought sorrow enough to all of them without that. She must make what she could of her life, broken and futile though it seemed.
 She winced at the thought of Mrs Cleespaugh's shocked face when she heard the news. The old lady would be wounded in her in vincible pride. Cass would be hurt. oh, why, why wasn't it possible to arrange ones own ex- istence without involving other people?
 Well, it was all her own fault. She would shoulder the blame, take all the responsibility upon herself. Give would be free. He might marry again and have sunny haired. blue-eyed children to romp about the big house. She hoped that he would. He deserved to be happy. At this thought her tears began to flow again.

1 ly. than a cold handclasp and an impersonal friendship. Give would be perfectly within his rights if he asked for his freedom. Tressa was of his own world. She had shown, early and often, that she loved him.
 Fiercely Liane decided she did not wish to let him SC. She acknowledG ed her failure as a wife but snrank from the idea of letting him go so tamely. This stern-lipped young man with the blue eyes, so broadshouldered and well groomed in his English tweeds, so gentle and courteous, caught and held her fancy now. She wondered almost in terror what sort of woman she was to be so tickle, so changeable. Only a. few months ago Van Robard had ensnared her imagination. Now that spell was ended forever. Although she thought sometimes of Van with pain and regret there was no shadow of longing in her heart.
 We can't so on like this" she thought in pity and terror. If he wants me to let him go I must be decent enough to do as he asks. He deserves to be happy"
 She wondered if Tressa was the one to bring Give the happiness he deserved. Perhaps she was. Who could say?
 Many, many times she nerved herself to the ordeal of speaking to Give about this but always the words died on her lips before she could shape them.
 "To-morrow." she would say. "I'll talk to him about tomor- row"
 She could see that Give. too, was troubled, absorbed. He wants to ask me for his freedom and hesitates because he is afraid l am not strong enough" she unused. II am. q must be. must be the one to speak"
 Give had come home to dinner that night. They dined in state at the long table. Liane wore a dress which had been in her trous- seau, a soft chiffon in tones of faint blues and lilac. The coolr had come back into her face. Her cheeks were round again and her eyes bright. Ellen, pleased at hav- ing the young pair to wait on once more. tip-toed softly back and forth, bringing delicious food on silver dishes.
 Liane reflected. Anyone to see us would think we were the hap piest pair. Too bad 1t cant be true."
 At the thought she coolred brightly. Give. glancing across at her, thought how well she looked.
 "I had letter rom mother to- day." he began. shes coming home"
 "Oh, when?"
 "First of June. believe. left the letter upstairs. I'll give 1t to you after dinner"
 Were not" she hesitated. then continued, We won't be staying on here?"
 Just as you like" She inter- preted the indifference in his voice as coldness. The thought threw her into panic. "What shall l do ?" she demanded of herself "whatever shall I dor?
 She waited until dessert had been served and Ellen had with drawn. She said then. "Its to be as you like. of course. I've been

Sweet cider conjures up thoughts of roaring fires and roasted nuts and county fairs and good times generally, and the cook will find a welcome change in seasonings in this homely beverage.
 Our grandmothers considered boiled cider indispensable in their mince meat, ham was baked in cider, apples were boiled in cider and we have added a delicious cider salad to the list of good things.
 Of course, every homemaker knows that there's nothing like pure cidar vinegar for pickles Good salad dressing depends on the richness and sharpness of the vinegar for much of its flavor.
 Boiled cider is put on the mar ket by several business houses but it can be made at home if you want to take the time and make the effort. Cidar for boiling must be very sweet, just fresh from the

NANCY PAGE Lois Tries to Decide
 Between Suit and Coat By Floscnce Ia Ganke

Lois took time off one afternoon to go to a style show. She had to buy a new suit or coat, but was quite undecided which to get. Hence her visit. She tried to get Nancy to go with her, but Nancy begged off. She was not buying a new winter coat this year. and anyway she did not feel up to the trip down town. The warm summer weather was rather hard oh ner.
 Lois came home with glowing reports of the show. Fur is go- ing to be extremely fashionable. But most of it seems to be concen- trated on the upper part of the coat. Huge collars of long haired furs with equally large cuffs give an air of opulence to many of the wraps. Quite frequently the fur is not put on directly at neck of coat but edges or finishes collar of cloth"

 Dr Barnes was staying closer to Sue. She was glad that he was. He didn't talk about Thomas An- drews, but once, as they passed him, he looked at Sue and said wryly: "A queer old bird. He has romantic yen."
 T know" Sue nodded. Her voice was low but her eyes were danc- ing. "He wants somebody to help him find 1t. If he has money. ... and this house looks as though he has. |. he probably has plenty of assistance"

 Not on your life! You do not use red lacqure on your nails, you do not ask questions, and you're a darn gdod sport. You put Lois In her place in the water sports. You re all right" His arm around her waist frightened ever so slightly, but Sue sensed 1t.
 Very suddenly the radio snapped off in the midst of waltz. Quite as quickly rough voice called:

NEW YORK, March 5.-Inquiries
continue to furnish the basis for opti-
mism in machinery trading. An occa-

chaSers, lends considerable encourage
ment, even though current orders in

Sales now being made are largely due
to intensive sales efforts or absolute
