1 dots on the kitchen windows. and a green glass cookie jar you like cookies, don't you? And the fireplace is big, isn't it, Jack?" 'sWe'll make it as big as you want it if 1t isn't. We'll drive past on our way into town. Shall wei"
 So they came just at sunset to the small white cottage. wide and long and close to the earth, sprawled out comfortably as though it liked the place where 1t lived and didn't intend to move. A rough cobble-stoAe walk led across the lawn to the wide porch, and a chimney that took up a great deal of room on one side of the house was evidence that there was 8 fire place.
 I've only been in it once," Jack said. That's why forgot 1t, I guess. There isn't any grass left" But there's a gate to the back yard and it will be grand when it's painted green. And we can have a brass knocker on the door. and when the windows are all spilling their lights across the path :. And won't 1t be lovely when 1t | snows!"
 Jack laughed at Sues enthusi- | asm.
 You were wasted in an office. Anyone who can get excited over that place
 "But wait until you see it. Jack do we have much money to spend :? We don't need much little will do a lot. And oh yes, if you're opening your own office, instead of going in with your father. I'm go- ! ing to be your secretary again, you
 know, to cut down expenses" | "Of course you are" He nod ded. "WelI get a maid to handle this place. My father hasn't asked me yet, Sue. think he will. He's
 probably waiting for me to get
 back"
 His tone was serious now. The
 whimsy was gone, and Sue slipped
 her arms around him. and kissed
 him first on one cheek, then the other and then on his lips. and he held her close.
 Jack. I'll never get over being
 sorry that 1t was through our fam fly that your father and you. ="
 "But 1t was through someone
 that you met through me that
 your family had to take that wal. lop," he answered. We started
 it. Don't think about it any more
 A maternal feeling had welled
 up in Sue. Stronger this time

NANCY PAGE If Beauty Is Skin Deep Let's Take Care of Skin
 ~---~~<~s By Florence Ia GnnIke

Faces have to bear the brunt of all kinds of weather, and for that reason need especial care. Cold winds, dusty winds, soot laden winds all blow upon the young and old. Furs, scarves. and mufflers protect the throat. Gloves cover the hands. but faces get all the winds that blow. The care of the face is an art or science in itself.
 Some skins respond to one treat ment, some to another, but there is not a one that does not need real cleanliness.
 A mild, pure soap, clean wash cloth and warm water used at least twice 8 day can harm few skins.
 The thousands upon thousands of pores in the skin must be kept clean. A clogged pore means a blackhead or other skin blemish.

There is one problem that many parents now are facing that is not new in tn annals of family life, althogh it has probably not been so common before the last year or two.
 A mother or father, fairly pros porous, finds that their oldest son or daughter is ready for college. They find that by reducing home expenditures they can send Charlie or Ethel away to school. The younger children are still far enough behind in age not to double the bill of expense at the time they will be taken care of when their turn comes. Charlie will be through when Bob is ready, and Bob will be through when Jim fin- ishes high school. In Etheps family it is the same. When her younger sisters are ready to make the big adventure, she will be out and self supporting.
 So Charlie gets his college out fit and his tuition and allowance and book money and all the gad- gets necessary to see young chap through, and of course Bob and Jim have to do without a number of things to help him along, as we'll as Mother and Dad.
 Charlie gets his college educa- tion, and Ethel gets hers.
 Then Il-Luck Strikes
 But suddenly things go wrong. Dad loses his job. or his company breaks up, or his small invest ments go sour, and Bob and Jim find they cannot go away after all. Ethels sisters, too, who saw her get regular trousseau that first year and wore their old clothes to help fill her trunk, dreaming of the day when they too would climb on a Pullman for four years realize that nothing can be done for them either now or ever. The Bobs and Jims and younger sisters are very likely to be re- sentful and bitter. They cannot | understand that the big plan in- c1uded them and that what has happened is beyond the power o1 their parents to control.
 | "They managed some way fol the others, why can't they do il for us?" they want to know.
 Grudges That Last
 Moreover, they would scarcel, be human If this resentment dit not extend to the more fortunate brother and sister. Jealousy enter. into the picture now where 1t had no place before. I have seen the most generous and self-denying o1 younger children develop a grudge against an older one that lasted through life itself almost.
 | Parents who find themselves un. able to do for a younger child what they did for the first are usually terribly unhappy. And they proceed to try to make up in every way possible for the discrep. ancy of fortune, taking out of themselves what the pocketbooE refused to yield.
 | The best way, think, is to ex- plain in detail how it happened and to apepal to the innate decency and sense of the others. But certainly I should not encourage complaint if there Is any. To enter into 8 lifetime of attempted compensa- ton and It's tendency to tyranny only makes matters worse fol | everybody.

Some skins are rather sluggish and do not take care of them- selves. For such a skin the new ice cold pack may prove of use. After the relaxing effects of warm water it is necessary to close the pores of the skin. It has been found that applications of ice do that. But sometimes it Is difficult to get ice. Sometimes 1t is messy to hold against the face. To take care of those difficulties Lois found a new device. It looks something like a small alarming egg. It has some patented ''insides" which, when directions are followed give an icy temperature to the utensil. By rubbing this over the face the temperature is lowered and the pores close, thus firming up the skin and making a person look young and blooming.
 Reducing is of interest to many women. Send 6 stamped, self- addressed envelope with your re- quest for Nancy Pages 1eafiet on this subject. Address her care of this paper.

Oily hair is cadsed by too active or too relaxed pores in the scalp. Also, your diet may be wrong. Too many fats and oils in your food will tend to make the pores of your body throw off an excess of oil. East fresh fruit and vegetables, and lean instead of fat meats.
 Don't for a minute imagine that too frequent, shampooing will cor rect the fault, for that only tends to keep the pores more active. However, when you do wash t. which doesn't need to be oftener than every two or three weeks, be sure that you shampoo so thor oughly that not trace of the oil remains. There are dry shampoos for excessively oily hair. They co-ae in powder form and you simply shake the powder in and brush it all out. Most of the dust and dirt will rub out with rough towel and practically all of the oil will disappear.
 You should massage the scalp regularly, for it stimulates the na- tural circulation of blood and tends to lesson the flow of oil.

Don't buy just any tonic you happen to see advertised, but go to beauty expert and have her recommended one which has astringent and drying properties in it. The wrong treatment for any kind of hair or skin trouble is worse than no treatment at all and you can we'll imagine what an oily tonic would do for hair which js already too oily.

there. During the ride home on the street car she tried to com pute mentally how long, at $35 a week 1t would take to pay the money she owed Chris. For one thing that debt would not be grow ing larger now. She could pay her way and little Marks. Whatever it was possible to save would be paid to Chris.
 It was hard Monday morning to leave the baby. Sharp doubts plagued Norma all through the day. Suppose Mrs Carey didn't get his formula just right! Suppose she should leave Mark alone. Even in five minutes he might wriggle from the bed and hurt himself. Norma remembered how Junior Baker had been scalded. She suffered har- rowing moments of despair. When the lunch hour arrived she telephoned to ask the landlady's daughter to go upstairs and ask Mrs Carey how Mark was getting along.
 Norma was informed that the baby was sleeping. Nothing at all eventful had happened. Mrs Carey reported Mark was ''getting along fine"
 At 5:45 Norma reached the top of the stairs and burst breath lessly into the apartment. "The baby - is everything all right-?"
 "Bless his Title heart" said Mrs Carey. "He hasn't been a bit o1 trouble. Good as a regular little angel all day! did everything the way you said Mrs Travers. ] gave him his bottle at 3 o'clock and he went to sleep when he'd finished it. Look at himi"
 Marks wide blue eyes considered his mother with interest. He wiggled a foot and gurgled con. tented1y.
 Norma, down on her knees be. side the bed. felt a wave of over. whelming relief. There was tim Mark exactly as she had left him No frightfui accident. No unfor. seen tragedy. The baby was a. happy and safe as if she had beer with him all day.
 Thank you. Mrs Carey" Norma said. rising to her feet. "I-l couldn't help but feel worried. It's the first day I've ever left him. you know! You've taken beauti. full care of him and I'm not go- ing to let myself worry any more I'll see if can't be home a little earlier tomorrow night"
 "well, I'll just run along since you're here. I'll have to be get ing the supper" Mrs Carey dis. appeared without finishing the sentence.
 Chris arrived a few moments later and the two girls were soor busy preparing their own evening meal.
 Schooling herself not to worry over the baby's welfare was thu hardest part of Norma's nev schedule. She liked working witf Stuart. It was true Jennie Clarl had been slack about keeping th' files in order. Other tasks tha should have been attended had beer neglected. The accumulated worl made Norma's first days in tn, office unusually busy ones. Still when she pictured Mark tossini mysterious illness or his little bod, shaking with sobs. unable to tel what ailed him.
 On Saturday afternoon at tn end of her first weeks work Normi took the baby to the hospital clinic She learned with mingling O shock and thankfulness that Mari still kept his rating of perfec health. During the first six month of his life he had not been il once.
 It astounded Norma to realiz that another person could care fo her son exactly as we'll as sh could. Almost. she felt dismayed The shock of this discovery passe' immediately. She told Chris tha baby Mark. by keeping up such {
