9u uNLtA ~AEMNNA<e atNe~s - battles and murders were as dra- matic time as the world has ever known. It passed peacefully over our heads in series of grammati- cal explorations.
 I write this as an illustration of one of the weak places in educa- ton. Children go into things blind ly and study beside the mark. If things were explained to them in- telligently and & big clear picture drawn for them at first of what it is all about, much mental haze would be dissipated. To hear about a country, to know it before you go in is always a help. You see 1t then with more appreciative eyes, and you learn through your in- terest.
 It is the same with lessons. Not always, of course, but quite often children are studying in the dark. Every new text book should be prefaced by the teacher. To go along blindly day by day is no fun at all. I often wonder if children know more than half the time what they really are studying.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-04-05

Recently a friend of mine who is famed lecturer gave me the script of his address on Vergil to read.
 I read 1t through twice with the result that I was seized with a tremendous mitigation and resent ment. Because I had learned more Roman history, more about the poet himself, and more about the story of Aeneus and his mis- fortunes than I had picked up in one solid year of scanning Latin lines in class.
 And why was that? Why had finished my senior year at high school having gone through Cae- sar, Cicero and Vergil without the slightest inkling of what any of them were about?
 Caesar I digested more or less, but the orations of Cicero and his Announcements of traitors in the Forum meant nothing on earth to me but genitives and ablatives and declensions. Vergils "Aeneid" was something to be scanned and trans lated, and it was more important to get the eases of the Roman SOoS eAllu DO CuA SAdi AOONS the twisty Latin verbs than it was to dig into the meaning of the story. The story, whatever it was about, seemed to be secret.
 To Hcighten Interest
 When I put the manuscript down that Dr Vincent Booth had given me to read I said this: "Why in the name of goodness couldn't they have told us that when we were studying the Latin classics ? Why couldn't they give us a week or two on the whole picture first: the times, the wars, the trials and troubles of this pastoral poet; where he got his ideas and philos- ophies contained in this epic? If they had done that we children would have gone into it with open interest" Instead we were given big black books called "Vergir' that might just as well have been called "Ad- dacadabra." We started in labori- ous1y trying to dig a meaning out of the first line, then the second and the third and by the. time we had reached the fourth, we had forgotten the first. There was no picture, no story, and consequent ly no interest.
 It was the same with "Cicero's" eternal droning. Yet that whole period with it's fierce jealousies,

GLORIFYING
 YOURSELF
By Alicia Hart

You see lot of gleam in hair
 these spring evenings.
 l At New York night club the 1 other evening, fully half of the | well-groomed women had some
 kind of glitter in their hair. One woman, and incidentally
 she was not one of the best groom ed or best dressed, wore ban deau of scintllating rhinestones. from ear to ear, holding her hair back straight, letting it all in curls behind, in well-behaved man.
 ner.
 Much more to my / liking and
 much more in this springs mood,
 it seemed to me, was a youngster
 with chesnut hair who wore two tiny clip berets over her ears, to
 hold her curls in place.
 A titian-haired woman, of re-
 gal proportions, wore her flaming
 straight hair pulled back over her
 lovely ears, and rolled, in French
 roll manners, with a jeweled comb running sideways from the back of her neck to her heads crown. It was magnificent coiffure for her, with her slender long white neck.
 The majority of women on this particular evening preferred the bare forehead, the side part, rath-
 CT low, and something original in
 the way they curled their hair. Two or three had exquisitely shap- ed heads, with flat curls taking
 nothing from their contours. One little blonde debbie, in a
 square-necked, trailing black taf- feta, with childish dignity, wore
 her curls in triple rows of ring lets from a center part right through her hair, making six al-
 most horizontal rows of curls from
 front to back.
 A girl has written to me asking
 how to do her hair in some differ
 ent way. She is brunette, has
 straight hair which is not unbe-
 coming, but she is tried of it. My
 advice is by all means to curl it.
 You'd be surprised at the latent
 coquetry bunch of curls brings
 out in you. If you feed no thrill
 at springs approach, do work out on your coiffure. Or, better still, have it done. You be sur prised what flirt you turn out to l hot

 Helen Hayes, the stage star who recently triumphed in her first screen appearance in "The Sin of Madelon Claudet,' plays opposite Ronald Colman in the role of the devoted wife who risks her life for her husbands career. Rich ard Bennett, the stormy petrel of the stage and father of Constance. Joan and Barbara Bennett, has a major role as Sondelius, the plague fighting Swede, and A. E. Anson, an eminent stage figure making his motion picture debut, has another rich character role.

SUES CAR OVETURNS

oOES CAh OtElURNS
 The car swerved to the side of the road. It swayed. Then it right ed itself as 1t came back again. but 1t made sharper turn, swung dig zily on it's wheels on one side. and then slipped from the road into drifted snow bank along the ditch, and rested on it's side.
 Sue was conscious of the world slipping away some place. A world that was strangely white in the dusk. Then the car was silent There wasn't a sound anywhere She knew that she wasn't hurt.
 But Ruth was so very still.
 "Ruth!" Sue called. Then louder: "Ruth!"
 An eternity seemed to pass Hours that slipped down the long to open the door. It wouldn't open It was pressed against the bank But through small portion of the glass that was free she could see a yellow light. Lamp light. It be- longed in Harry and Corrinne's house, she knew.
 "Ruth!" she called again. The girl at her side stirred a little. Sue listened. She thought she heard word.
 "Ruth!' she called again, plead ingly, desparingly. Ruth! Ruth. had to answer! If she were dead
 Yes" the ford was barely audible. A dim whisper. But it was word.
 Are you hurt?" Sue tried to see the other girls face in the dark ness, but it slipped into the shad- ows.
 "No,' I'm all right" Ruth's voice gathered strength. m fine! Didn', I answer? I guess I was knocked out for a second. But I'm better now"
 How are we going to get out 9 Sue asked after a second. "Nobody | heard us go over. There aren' any cars on the road. think my folks are at Corrinne's. But they don't know we're here. I'm get ting cold.''
 T could open this door if could get balanced. Then I could climb out. I'll try. Can you push me?"
 It was a few minutes only until Ruth was out of the car. but it seemed as though an hour passed while the two girls tried franti- cally to open the door and see if Ruth could straddle it in order to step outside. She reached her hand down to Sue. But the car. which was resting rather perilously, lurch- ed and went down a little lower.
 There's a deep ditch just in back of you," Ruth said nervous ly. Don't move again. I'll bring help right away. If you try to get out the thing may go over. Stay just where you are"
 Sue couldn't see Ruth as she ran to the house. She heard the sound of her slippers against the road for just second. Then there was silence. Deep. Dark. Breathless. A silence that waited for something to happen. She thought of the ditch on the other sftle of the car. She wondered just how close to it she was. If she raised her head maybe she could see. But if she raised her head the wheels might slide down.
 It seemed to be taking Ruth so long to get help. She supposed that people were asking questions Didn't they know that this wasn't the time to be curious? They should bring help right away. She might go over. Then her eyes open- ed wider. The car was moving backward. Very slowly, to be sure But moving.
 NEXT-Danger.

Broken Lullaby" from the story "The Man I Killed. with Lionel Barrymore, Nancy Carroll and Phillips Holmes. Regina Crewe of the New York American says. All that is best, all that is finest in the cinema is contained in the deeply affecting drama which Ernest Lubitsch has brought so exquisite Iy to the screen of the Criterion theater. None who see it dare deny that here is art and artistry in the medium through which such tale may be so well told. It portrays vividly, graphically, memorably the fundamental emotions of eXistence-hate, love, pride, and the passion of contrition. It stabs the heart. It stirs the soul. It sears the brain. There are speeches that cause audiences to forget them selves in enthusiastic applause, and others that leave the hearers stunned to tense silence. Then again there are lyric moments when no word is spoken. From Lionel Barrymore, in the role of the father, to Lucien Littlefield in the part of a villianous clown, the players are superb. Young MT Holmes attains his greatest histri- onic stature. Also on sthe bill is Marriage Rows rollicking com edy featurette and other interest ing short subjects. Ladies will re- ceiye China on Wednesday as usual and linen on Thursday. Those who missed the first article given away last Thursday can se- cure both articles by attending this week.

 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER XxxvI
 The words fell on Ellen's heart like so many separate blows Too late now-forever too late for it to be of any consequence to her Larry Harrowgate was free. Oh, it was impossibly cruel that he should have been free at the very hour she was saying the words that bound her for life.
 The newspaper dropped from FL lens hands and into the fire.
 The nightmare went on and on Presently Steven returned to the room and she heard herself talking to him. She was scarcely conscious of what she was saying. She un- derstood that Larry must have gone to the apartment two nights before to tell her he was free. Her must have sent him away.
 Ellen raised one hand with a trembling gesture and in the fire light saw the frosty sparkle of her wedding ring. It was true then She was married. This was no eyi dream from which she would awake.
 Are you tired. my darling?' Steven asked.
 No. not tired" she said. 'Noi tired at all"
 She followed him to the enclosed veranda where supper had been laid for two. She acknowledged the introduction to Fergus, the only servant on the place, and thought vaguely that she disliked him. The butler moved about, say. ing madame" this, and madame that, until she could have screamed win the reiteTation of the fact that she was Stevens wife. Wild impossible fancies assailed her She thought of throwing herself or her go. She could not do that.
