The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-09-17

A fairly recent magazine article had quite a discussion of the place of magpie corners in a home. Not only do they have a place but ex- ceeding charm. To prove that, Nancy asks you to go with her to small cottage built in the woods. The living room has cypress walls. There is, of course, a large fire place. It is built of stone with a mentel of cypress. Above the mantel is built-in cupboard with a door which is flush with the walls. It has interesting hinges, flat, old and French which the owner had acquired in her travels.
 There are shelves behind this door and one them are stored a few vases and flower holders. a book or two. a sweetmeat jar and a few other oddments. Cupboards sim | liar to these were built in the early American homes.
 In the bedroom there are a pair of open cupboards with shelves. They are small affairs, not more than seven inches deep, about that width and approximately thirty inches high.
 They are left uncurtained and are not closed with doors. The inside of the cupboards, shelves and all, is painted a soft green. They might have been papered with that quaint old paper studded with small gold stars. Or the shelf edges might have been painted a brilliant color.

How do you do, Miss Kent" he said. Beautiful day, isn't it? I was wondering how long it would be before you decided to send me about my business. You're not going to do it, though. Lunch | ing alone is so tiresome. You're lunching with me to-day. Where are we going?"
 The dark eyes laughed at her. The tone of voice was amused. For the life of her Norma could not muster an indignant reply. It was all she could do to quell the surge of eagerness in her tone. Mustn't let him know how she felt about seeing him again!
 Sorry can't accept the invita- tion," she told him demurely. Why those prim words when her own eyes were dancing?
 Did I invite you anywhere :? Wasn't aware of it. Oh, no you're mistaken. I'm lunching with you"
 "But-but MT Travers-"'
 Name is Mark, Miss Kent. Didn't tell you? Sorry about the oversight. Well, shouldn't we be going Really I'm hungry" "Mr Travers, you can't" the girl began and once more he in- terrupted.
 Cant eat? Oh, how you wrong me! I assure you that you're mistaken. By means of simple demonstration I will for all time convince you the impression is er- !. roneous. I can-and do-eat thrice daily. I eat such things as ham and eggs but never bumper

nickle. I'm particular about that! Were you thinking of making your luncheon on pumpernickle If so we must change that!"
 He was ridiculous-too, too completely ridiculous to keep any, one with the slightest sense of humor from laughing. And Norma had a sense of humor. She laughed and her defenses were gone in- stantly.
 'Im 1unching at the Samovar," Young MT. Travers tucked the girls arm under his. He kept her amused all the way to the eating place. There they found chairs at a counter painted bright blue. They ordered coffee and toasted sandwiches and fresh fruit. Trav- CTS was entertaining. Norma had never met anyone with whom it was so easy to feel at home.
 Just a minute!" she interrupt ed his discourse. Would you mind telling me who in the world you are? Aside from rescuing stray puppies and trailing de- fenseless working girls what do you do?"
 She had expected an answer as ridiculous as the youths earlier remarks. Instead he said serious ly, "Oh, I've got a job in a real estate office down the street."
 Really? What do you do?"
 "Errands mostly. And trying to make columns of figures come out right. But let's not talk ot1 Al ta1 r al
 
 It was as though horizons had cleared miraculously. Why" the girl laughed, "do you know what I thought? I thought you were a sort of rich society play boy! Hon. estly I did"
 "No!" Hearty bass laughter joined her treble. "You--you really thought that about me?"
 The girl nodded. Maybe it was because of your car,' she went on. It's such a beauty. Howl mean if you're only a real estate clerk, how"
 "Oh, the carl" Travers shrugged. "Thats-that my un- cle's. You see, my uncle's an automobile salesman and he uses that car for demonstrations. Some times he lets me take it out for an evening. Say-if I could get 1t tonight would you go for a drive? I'm not sure he'll let me have it."
 With swiftly beating heart Norma agreed. Travers was to telephone her at home as soon as he found oiit if if wOuld be all right with his uncle about taking

 YOURSELF
By Alicia Hart
0lo5I BN NEA SERVICE INC;

Have you room enough in your bathroom for an extra medicine cabinet? If so, buy one and keep it for your own personal beauty box" This is an excellent idea for women who live in small apart ments which do not afford the luxury of a dressing room or even a bedroom. Even if you have both bedrooms and dressing rooms in your home, the light is usually better in the bathroom and it is more accessible to the water.
 The cabinet should have three shelves. On the bottom one put the toilet articles you use most frequently-tooth brushes, tooth paste, mouth wash (which should be used night and morning), bath salts, hand lotion, and soap unless you prefer to keep your soap in the regular soap dish.
 On the second shelf put your cleansing cream, nourishing cream. powder base or vanishing cream, astringent, powder, rouge, lipstick. whatever makeup you use on your eyes, a nail file, and perhaps some boracic acid solution and an eye cup.
 There will be plenty of room on the top shelf for your liquid sham poo, some face lotion, if you f1ng- er-wave your hair, and complete manicure set. The manicure set should include plenty of orange sticks, cotton, emery boards, cuti- cle remover. polish-whether you use dry or liquid polish is a mat ter of personal choice-and some nail white.
 You may even want to comb your hair in front of this tiny lit- tie beauty shop of yours. If you do, then put your comb and a box of hairpins either on the top or bottom shelf. Never allow any thing you use in or on your hair to remain near the powder jar, There is sure to be certain 1, lount of dust and nothing ie worse for your hair than cosmet- les of any description. By all means keep your hairbrush away from dust and dirt. It's a good idea to keep 1t in a box or a case made especially for 1t.
 Of course, you can add other cosmetics to your collection ~ long as you have room for them. Regular bath powder boxes are usually too large for the narrow shelves. 60 you'll have to take the

the car. He seemed rather cer- tian that it would be but prom ised to telephone around six o'clock.
 Suddenly Norma looked at the clock and saw that it was after 12:30. She must be back at her desk at 12:45. They arose and Travers was unable to persuade her to let him pay her check. They walked down the street together and he left her at the entrance of the gray stone building in which the firm of Brooks, Welliver and Brooks had their offices. The roadster belonging to- Mark Travers' "uncle' made it's appear ance before the red brick apart ment house that night. It was there the following evening as we'll. During the next six days Norma met Travers for luncheon five times. She danced with him, dined with him, sat beside him through moving picture perform ances at which she neither lis- tened to the actor lines nor ob- served their actions. She accom- panied him on drives of breath taking happiness through the September night. She seemed to blossom with a radiance that made her love1ier than ever before.
 Bob Farrell telephoned twice but Norma was not at home and did not receive his messages. Chris Saunders, satisfied that af- fairs were going smoothly now for Minnie Baker and her baby, packed their belongings and re- turned to the third floor apart ment.
 Norma scarcely spoke to Chris. The younger girl was preoccupied, seldom at home.
 And then one evening Chris Saunders, letting herself into the apartment at a little after II o'clock, paused stock-still on the threshold. Across the room in a miserable little huddle on the davenport lay Chris roommate.
 "Why, Norma! What's hap pened?"
 A blond head. wildly disar- rayed, raised. Blue eyqes that were red-rimmed and swollen gazed at Chris. Norma said in frightened, choking voice, "Its- it's about Mark"

 First. I think you had better get Miss Merryman out of the tangle. If you apoligize after you have found out she is innocent. your words aren't worth a nickle," Dr Barnes was saying. But if you do it now, and let her see that you realize your mistake, they may hold water. Not that I'd ever look at any of you again in her place." He turned to Lois then.
 Miss Merryman is not my fiancee. I'm not that lucky. But I'm tired of your possessive air. If any man ever ha da weak mo- ment in the moonlight in your presence yo uthink he has to fol- low your train until he has a beard.

1YoUR CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts Barton 2!ssl eY NEA SeRXlcE lfsc.

Everyone in the world is ob- all, that is all worry is-fear in one of it's most potent forms There is much talk these days about training children to grow up without fear. We do not tell them gruesome things we never mention the dark, or big bears, or the bogey man, we teach them to be brave about water and storms and pain.
 But there are a thousand forms of fear that we overlook, worries that are as real to children as our business trouble are to us. In a home where discipline is strict and retribution follows swiftly after misbehavior or ever accident, do you know that even on fair sunny days when everybody is happy and matters run smooth ly, child from that home may be under a cloud?
 Deep in his heart he is worried because he knows that if anything happens, as it is almost sure to happen-an impulsive act, a care- less or thoughtless deed, an acci- dent, a bit of experiment-he Is going to be scolded or punished Isn't that a terrible feeling to have? Yet, believe that most children have it.
 Must Learn Right and Wrong Ther is nothing wrong in a child knowing that deliberate wrong doing brings its own ac- counting-that If he viciously or deliberately does something that he shouldn't, he cannot escape consequences. No human being probably, would amount to much | if he did not learn that lesson early in life; if he did not then there would be complete chaos ir the world. As it is, too many peo- pie have not learned it yet.
 But for him to feel that the most natural (for childhood) acts must be followed immediately by scolding or whipping is the mos' demoralizing thing the world. Children do not develop normal. ly or grow properly if they are un- happy, and if they are full of fore bodings and fears they will gravi' tate into twists and complexes toe little suspected by the parent. Elf ficiency goes, self-confidence. goes energy, enthusiasm and courage go, if a child has a secret fear.
 There are other things that cloud the daily life of a child a. we'll as this oppressive terror oi punishment-for instance, the feal of not getting his school work right, or the misery of standing the bullying of a companion, oi the idea that a teacher is not just to him.
 Most of these things can bt strengthened out but children art often secretive-partly because they are proud and partly because they cannot explain their troubles Also they are afraid of being mis
 understood. A good talk is grea relief sometimes-let the sunlight in on their thoughts. And once re

 you bought it and use 1t from a smaller one which can be filled from time to time as you need 1t. You should also find space for a jar filled with cotton pads with which to apply your powder and astringent.
