 "Sue!" Grace was laughing soft~ ly, though. and the green had coma back to her eyes.
 T know what you are think- ing" Sue answered, and the dime pies flashed in her cheeks. "xou' are remembering the days when you used to tell me what men liked and wanted, and yours amused because I'm repeating your own sermons. But you need 1t, Grace. You can't look flip- pant and act as if you don't care, and get Jimmy back. You hnye to look as though you need him.

 Grace sat up suddenly. Color flooded the white cheeks. "All right. Sue, I'll play the game. I'll give that Webber woman q run for my husband. I'll show Jimmy a trick or two that he doesn't z know" Then her voice collapseds But if I have to stoop to- such cheap tactics to hold him. don't think I want him. He isn't worth the effort. You see. always thought love was something safe and secure and beautiful. still think 1t is. Jimmy just never loved me, that's all.

 "Whom shall we ask to come to the dinner?" Sue asked. Think it's too dangerous to risk Nancy and Arnold Page at the same affair."" Then she remem-- bered that Jack might not want Page present.

If he had been three, it might have been laid to an experiment in will through which all little children pass But this was more than an experiment in will. It was a deliberate test to see how much of a fool he could make out of his very fine mother. He should, of course. never have been allowed to reach five years and more without knowing the m eaning of obedience. But l have told you why.
 What would you have done? I will tell you what I should have done. At the second No" l should have ceased talking. If he would not recognize his masters voice he would have felt his mas ter's hand on just the right place. Bed was an old story, so was talking.
 I would not do 1t every day, or every week, or even every month. Just at psychological moments. The effect of any punishment wears off. And I should never threaten-just act---make it a surprise party.

YOUR CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts Rsrtoo 0lqSz RY NEA SERVICE INC.

What would you do If this little boy belonged to you?
 Before I state his case I am as- suming that you are an informed parent and know something of the science of discipline and punish ment. Most parents know to-day, for instance, that punishment is taboo when 1t is only an outlet and relief to a parents wrath.
 Now, about this little boy.
 He is five years old. In his baby hood he was slow growing and had a serious illness. He was a first grandson and had doting relatives galore. Nobody crossed him, every body petted him and his parents. even had they wanted to teach obedience, were handicapped by too much family opinion. He Is an only child. He is big and strong now.
 The other day he was playing in the garden while his mother was transplanting flowers. Her hands wore muddy and she said, Billy, go in and get me the water pot, please"
 "No, don't want to go in"
 Billy. go now and do what I tell you"
 No"
 Billy"
 No, I won't" He stamped his foot.
 She went over and took him by the shoulder. "I have asked you politely to get that watering pot for me. I want you to be polite, too, and do me a favor."
 Take your hands off me-" He flung away.
 The maid brought out the dis puted pot. Later Billy's mother gathered up an armful of things to return to the house. She couldn't carry them all.
 Billy. you take the watering pot to the laundry. That's a good boy"
 'No."
 Billy"
 He picked it up, carried 1t two yards. set 1t down and looked at her.
 There was more wrangling and coaxing and finally 6 threat of bed.
 He put the pot on the back steps and ran around front.

 Grace opened her eyes and they were cautiously gray Instead of green now, as Sue told of the call that she had received from Natalie Webber.
 You know that I've been living at the hotel and that I'm back on my old job. of course." Grace said to Sue, instead of comment ing on the proposed dinner party. "I thought that maybe this ab- sence stuff worked It does m case the persons involved cared when the absence began. When they didn't, you might as well stay where you are. Proximity and absence both fall flatter than cold pancakes when nobody cared in the first place. You want me to win Jimmy back again?" "Of course. You still love him. You are deadening your senses so you will. think that you don't. Some morning you will wake up and find that he matters as much as he ever did"
 Grace's eyes were old and wise as she answered. I'm not afraid. Sue. I've taken off my roseglasses. He isn't exactly what I had im- ngined. You see, loved his pos- abilities and they took a different trend"

 Grusinskaya, the dancer,
 weary Of fighting to hold her

 performance, but is ycat0led
 into changing her mind.)
 While she was speaking Grusins- kaya rose--with the grace of a dancer she picked up the Chinese robe that had fallen to the floor and although there was only one other woman in the room-she held the robe around her.
 She crossed to the mirror and looked at her face running her fingers through her hair. She gently massaged under her eyes. There was silence in the room neither of the women spoke. Suzette got madam's clothes ready. She crossed the room, put the case containing the dancers famous pearls down on the dressing table and opened 1t.
 Grusinskaya looked into space Silence--dead silence.
 suzette kneeled down as if to put madam's stockings on for her. Grusinskaya pulled her foot away.
 T can't dance tonight"
 Tt will pass-it will pass come"
 Let us cancel the engagement"
 But madam cannot do that"
 Now is the time to cancel--to quit entirely. I feel 1t. Every thing tells me-enough--enough."
 She leaned forward against the dressing table and her hands un- consciously touched the pearls.
 "The pearls are cold" Grusins- kaya said. "Everything is cold finished-it seems so far away-so threadbare - the Russians - St Petersburg-the Imperial Court the Grand Duke Sergei--Sergei-- dead-Grusinskaya--it's all gone"
 She threw the pearls away, down upon the floor.
 Mon D!eu!-the pearls-if they were to break-," Suzette exclaim- ed.
 "The pearls won't break-they hold together and bring me bad luck-I hate them"
 Suzette replaced the pearls on the table.
 "FIowers for madam---orchids. she said, handing them to her.
 Grusinskaya's eyes were looking off into space--she was away in Russia, she did not look--she did not answer.
 The telephone rang.
 "Ah, oui-the ear is here for madam" Suzette said into the phone.
 "Send it away--I shan't, need It."
 There was a knock at the door certain kind of knock.
 Come in," Grusinskaya said. She picked up the telephone and as she did 50 Pimenov. hes man. ager, entered. Suzette quickly gave Pimenov signal that there was trouble. As Pimenov closed the door, Grusinskaya spoke into the telephone.
 Madame Grusinskaya will not require her car--no-she will not be going to the theater," she said. Pimenov made a grand comedy bow. He would try to tease madam out of her mood.
 She glanced at him. without smiling, closed to the dressing table and sat down.
 Ut Is time for the performance" Pimenov said.
 "The performance--the perform ance-the performance" the dafic- CT said under her breath. It was an hysterical toutburst. It was not a woman who was just temperamental, 1t was something deeper than that. She was very ncar nerv0ua hreak down
