was sure of that. The thought of long days of bitter loneliness stretching out ahead frightened her. Gypsy hid her face in her arms and wept silently. Presently she raised her head. She remembered the evening when she had said to Jim. If you ever regret I our marriage I want you to- tell me Iabout it." And he had promised ! that he would. Little had she re- alized then what she was bargaining for.
 She told herself that she should be making plans, deciding about her future, That would have to wait. What did she care about the future now?
 She heard the roadster come back up the drive but did not look out the window. A little later she stairs. Gypsy clasped her two tknuckles ached as the, footsteps Ineared her door and then passed Ion. There had been one breath less instant when she thought Jim might knock on the door. <. The house became quiet. Gypsy ] at last undressed. The lowered chiffon which she had put on be. cause Jim. admired it was now EHrip ss1fth tears. As she wrenched Tit. to get it over her. shoulders she hear the fabric tear. She threw the dress onaa chair and left it there, a wrinkled heap, instead of hanging it away. Very weary, che drew down the covers and got into her bed. Over and over she tried to tell herself that some time this knife-like pain would cease. She would get used to it. Others had suffered broken hearts and learned to endure it. How literally true the phrase was! A broken heart. Her heart felt as though it were crushed and bleed- ing.
 Pride carried her through the ordeal of the next mornings breakfast, saying Good morn- ing'' to Jim as though he had not suddenly become stranger, pour ing his coffee, trying to drink her own steaming cup while he sat buried in hisrewspaper. ing parts in a play Jim said good
 
 more information about "that matter" when he returned in the evening. Gypsy nodded instead of trusting herself to reply.
 She went about her customary household tasks. So long as she was busy with her hands she could fight off thoughts she did not have the courage to face. She avofded Matilda and Cora, afreaid they wuold notice her trimmed and swollen eyes.
 By mid-afternoon Gypsy was try- ing to find comfort in the thought that out of the ruin of her own dreams Jim would find happiness. Jim's happiness should mean more to her than her owh. Then she thought about Alan. Was Alan as miserable as she now that she had sent him away? y s On sudden inspiration. she went 1 to the telephone. Crosby had told her he was stopping at the Jow- ard, an inexpensive hotel. Gypsy found the number in the direc- tory and caleld it.
 May speak to Mir Alan Crosby?" she said.

"What shall I do,'s asked lady one day, "when my neighbor's chii- dren come into my garden and ruin it?''
 "What have you tried 2" asked.
 "Everything,' she replied emphat- ically. "One day when had a SIS jardiniere smashed got hold of one youngster and spanked him."
 She seemed rather contrite about that and her next inquiry was: .'1s 1t all right to smack some one else's children if you've tried everything else on earth and it hasn't done any good?"
 Well, can't go about the earth advising every mother to punish her sneighbor's children, and yet when I heard her complete story and how she had pleaded with those children and with their mother and it had done no good, felt like saying, If | had been in your place I'd have felt like just about killing him." What I did say was, You can ap- peal to the authorities of course, or else put charged fence about your place.
 Again she was helpless. "Oh, you see, they are nice people," she ex- iplained. "The kind one can't go to the authorities about" And I gath- cred that an electrified fence was not her idea of either beauty or etiquette either.
 So there we were. back where we started. What was one to do with young vandals who had no idea of property rights, and whose mother was either too indifferent or too helpless to have any influence?
 l suppose that this lady will so on having flower beds trampled,. bushes demolished and crockery' broken. call 1t a sin and shame, that such things are permitted to. happen.
 Now, If she were the sort of per- son against whom children naturally bear a gr1dge, we might suggest that she use a. little strategy and try to get on the good side of them. But the whole truth is she is a very nice person indeed, has not invited retaliation and is simply being vic- timized.
 She has lot of company-not to the 9Sextent of fifteen dollar jardin- iers, perhaps, but people who bear uncomplainingly tie depredations of other peoples children. s,

| If law were passed to make wo- men wear barefoot Japanese san- dais for housewear, 1t would be an outright blesisng to American feet. Without any such law, why don't you try them this summer? They are cool, pleasant, lightweight and best of all, they are so airy. Your feet will feel 100 per cent better for going bare part of the time.
 Moreover; just let yourself get a pair of sandals and look at your feet in them. I'll wager every one of us will zee to 1t that our feet get better care hereafteri
 The first thing you are likely to think of is a pedicure. Why shouldn't your toenails look as nice as your fingernaiis!
 You can give yourself . pedicure very easily. Just like a manicure, only you need pedicure scissors in- stead of manicure scissors, and you will need to work hard to push back the cuticle from each toenail. For most of them have had life long neglect.
 { Right now there Is great vogue the toes and give you glam0rous feeling. But the scientific American pedicure which soaks the feet first, works hard to obliterate all corns and calluses, is far superior. If you could indulge in one pedicure and for Chinese pedicures. They tint learn how 1t is done, you will find the money we'll spent.
 You will feel lightfooted. And you will don your stockingless san- dalus with real pride because your feet will look so nice.
 Don't mind 1t if your feet get dirty around the house. It is so easy to scrub them up. And as far an that goes. your feet are entitled to their peck of dirt and probably have never had it.!
 To give yourself pedicure, after soaking your feet thoroughly, fol- low these directions:
 l. Use some good cuticle re- mover, on cotton put over an orr ange stick.
 2: Then cut the nails and file them, watching carefully that no corner of nail is left jutting into the flesh.
 3. Treat all corns and blem- ishes.
 Scrub with a brush and then dry carefully and apply either liquid or powder which you shine with buffer.

to pay the expense of the trip and the divorce. Pm going to leave as sono as I can. It-it would be best. don't you think?" "Then if you don't want ali- mony I'll make settlement" Wallace insisted.
 Vigorously Gypsy refused to consider this. She noticed the We'll, why not? The divorce would mean freedom to him, happiness with Marcia.
 Gypsy rose to her feet. You don't mind if I go now, do you, Jim?" she asked. "I'll do just as you say about all the rest. I'm not sure yet when I can get away. Day after to-inor- row perhaps"
 | He said there was no need of rushing away so quickly. He would get in touch with a lawyer in Reno to represent her. It might take a few days. Always his converse ton seemed to veer back into legal tech | nicalities which were like foreign language to Gypsy. I twill you want to keep the house open?" she asked from the doorway.
 T hadn't thought about it. No, | guess not. What do you think?'
 "Matilda's planning on three weeks at her brothers. You might get Cora and Sam to stay here"
 Jim announced suddenly that he did not want the house open. He would rather stay at the Carl ton.
 Gypsy said good night them and turned toward the stairs. She could not endure another moment of that calm scrutiny. How Jim must hate her to be able to look at her like that! How he must | loathe her!
 Tears were binding the girl when she reached the top of the flight. Gypsy rushed into hei room, closed the door and flung herself against 1t. She wept silent ly, the great sobs shaking her shoul- ders. She wept as though her turned the key in the lock and sank face downward on the bed.
 She had no idea how long she lay there. Exhaustion at last stayed her weeping. Moonlight fell across the bed when she finally sat up. white faced. and dried her eyes
 Gypsy heard a sound outside and went to the window. She saw the roadster, long, dark and pur- ring softly. slide down the drive way.
 Perhaps Jim was going for Marcia. No, she knew instantly that the thought was unworthy. How ever Jim had wounded her he was still the honest, dependable. straight forward man she loved. He was not engaged in cheap intrigue with Marcia Phillips.
 Gypsy sat on the windowsill and Hooked out across the lawn. There was a square patch of bright moon light bordered by the shadow from the hedge. It looked peaceful. quiet down there. The girl drew back farther into the shadow of the room
 It was strange that she should not feel angry at Marcia. There wal no room in her heart for any. thing except the aching misery oi losing Jim. Losing? How could she lose what she had never really hand?
 She would love Jim always. shs

The day after Sarah Shades party she called Sue.
 ..Meet me at one at the Silver Crescent for lsinch," she said. I'm leaving town soon and I'll telt you about it.,'
 Sue found Sarah waiting at a little table at the back of the room, with rose-shaded lamp making the table rather glamorous and a silver bud vase trying to pretend that IL didn't know its rose was made of tissue paper.
 Sarah had on a black dress with demure white collar and cuffs and small black hat that had an in- triguing twist to 1t.
 I'm going away in two weeks, she began right away. I'm to work in the personnel department of a store. It sounds fairly good. Some woman who's been eating at the hotel offered me the job. So I walked out on the table d'hotes and la Ia cartes this morning. I'm through. What do you want to eat?''

 T don't know. She hasn't writ, ten for long time."
 But Grace would be coming some time, she knew, and with her would be Jimmy. Good old Jimmy who had spent os many youthful years imagining that 1t was Sue whom he had wanted to sit behind the percolator at his breakfast table. She was glad that Jimmy was happy.
 And she was glad that Grace was happy, too. Sue remembered how Grace had lcved Jimmy for so long, Knowing that he could see only one girl, and that that girl had no more than g. friendly interest in him Grace had been loyal. And after a while things had come right for her. Maybe they would for Sarah. Per- haps there was something in the old maxim that said that any girl could get the man she wanted. She thought of her own romance with Jack. That, too, had seemed hope less, but it had all worked right. And for Sarah ..
 II think that the handsome young architect who came along with Miles last night is heading for our table," Sarah interrupted Sues reflections. "He seems nice. Here he is.'
 Sue found something likeable, too, in the disarming smile and boyish air of the man. She also noted

CHILDREN SH0u OF FOODS DAILY

Rarely does . single food con tain all the clements of nutrition that . child needs. Therefore the diet should be as varied as possible.
 A good way to educate children to eat different foods is to ask them to eat a very small portion, or "just . taste." In carrying out such a program be sure that the food is tasty. For example, the taste-appeal of most vegetables Is improved by adding a dash of sugar to . pinch of salt. Try this

FALSE APPEALS
FOR AID PLAGUE
RELIEF FORCES
Investigators for Trustee
Must Be on Their Guard
for Deceptions.
BY CARLOS LANE

The streets of that section of the
city we're sticky with mud, and the
day was not warm, but through the
mire and cold walked an investiga-
tor representing the township trus-
tee.
She climbed an ancient stairway
TO a two-room hovel, where rem
nants Of previous meals Uttered
the table, and rags served as beds.
Apparently there had been reason
for the appeal to the trustee for
TODD and fuel-but what was found
1elied appearances.
An 18-year-old son of the woman
who asked for help was alone there.
He answered her questions as she
filled out form.
Does your father work." she
wanted to know, and learned that
the head Of the house, a stepfather
conducted a little business of his
own and had an income from it.
Poverty Breeds Deception
There's a common but not very
good effort to get help where it isn't
imperative that help be given" she
explained to the reporter who &C
companied her as they left the fiat.
This woman came to us giving
her name by the former marriage.
She thought we would believe she
was widow. But her husband is
working, and they can get along
where some other deserving family
can not"
Another stop was before a neat
little bungalow. 1t was, again, a
first investigation, and a son, Is,
was alone. His mother was a Wild

There would be no need for town

job.

A father and mother, still in their

could make sometimes as much as

would be no food.

Further Traffic Relief Is
Expected When Strict
Enforcement Starts.

Taxicab cruising and other prac-
tees which aggravate traffic have
been reduced considerably, Captain
Lewis L. Johnson, city traffic de-
partment head, announced today
after one week of enforcing the new
taxicab ordinance.
The ordinance will not be en-
forced strictly until Dec. Is, which
is the limit fixed for all cab owners
and drivers to abide by the new
regulations.
Some time was given them to
secure new licenses, take physical
examinations and meet other re-
quirements of the new ordinance"
Captain Johnson explained.
Police traffic officials have held
numerous meetings with drivers to
explain provisions of the measure.
One important provision is that
all taxicab stands shall be estab-
lished by the public safety board at
the request of owners of property
adjoining stand sites. A S25 yearly
license fee is charged.
This will stop the placing of
stands in residential districts where
property owners object. Already,
Captain Johnson said, the new ordi-
nance has eliminated practically all
the "squatter" cab stands.
Taxicabs will be required to pro-
coed two blocks before turning to
repass given spot. This is in
tended to halt cruising.
