perating than usual, because Erm- intrude knew, since she had been thoroughly informed, that Nary Frances whole life's happiness de- pended upon successfully carrying through this coming venture. "Ermintrude Hill," said Mary Frances, sometimes you make me just sick and disgusted."
 "Last night" said Ermintrude, resuming her habits, retrograde, you said yourself that there wasn't t another girl in M. Fl. s. who you'd talk to like you did me about life and living and everything"
 Last night" Mary-Frances con- ceded, you were all right. You understood about ideals and the importance of love and everything. I don't know whats got into you today. guess you just don't care about my life's happiness being fulfilled nor anything"
 "I do too," said Ermintrude. But just the same don't think you should go and pick up strange mon on the street."
 That's nice, isn't it?" reproved Mary-Frances bitterly. And 1t was you your own self, over the phone last night, that said all about soul crying to soul and everything"
 Well" Ermintrude gloomily ad- mitted, maybe did. But just the same, if mother and daddy should find out that I picked up a strange man on the street they'd kill me. They'd just naturally kill me- that's all"
 "I suppose" said Mary Frances. spuriously matching Ermintrude's gloom, "that you expect to get Q long ways with your stage career, and receive ovations and every thing. without bit of bravery. Not even Q teeny bit of bravery"
 To-day, during algebra" said Drmintrude, "I kind of got to thinking about Peter, and just almost decided to give up the stage for Q career"
 If Ermintrudc, with this thin wedge, had hoped to open q discus- sion of her own affairs. her hopes were unavailing. Rosymeade, by this time, had been left behind and the girls were coming down q small hill covered with the lush. heady greens of OreEons uncultivated shrubbery. At the foot of the hill service station sprouted, shining red and white in the sun. Nary Frances clutched Ermintrude's arm. "There!" she said. "I'll stop in there and fix up. They have ladies' rest room. It will be betetr than going on down to Palmer's, like we'd planned" =.

Since grapefruit are exception. ally good this year, Nancy's house. hold - like many others used quantities of this fresh citrus fruit. Oranges were as much a part of the daily menu as bread and butter. This meant there were quantities of fruit peel.
 Claire and Judith came over one afternoon to play with the chil- dren and incidentally to amuse themselves. isn't there some. thing we can do' was the cry of the holidays, 1t seemed to Nancy.
 She had some peel on hand ready to candy and suggested that tho girls might like to do 1t.
 They jumped at the chance.
 She had them cut tho halves into quarters. Then she had them them remove all bits of pulp or fibre. The quarters of peel were covered with cold water and brought to boil and boiled until soft.
 Then the water was drained off. Later this liquid was used. The softsned quarters were seraped until all the soft inner white DOT ton was out. Then the yellow quarters were cut into strips. Nancy had the girls use scissors for that.

Dry skins are one of the penal ties we pay for modern life.
 Steam heat in winter, fumes from the automobile, too much sun without adequate preparation, these are some of the things that cause skin to dry up and wrinkle.
 Another thing is the passion for the slender form. Diets usually eliminate fats and that has an ef- feet eventually on the skin.
 If you have dry skin, one that feels as if you should dash water over 1t to ease 1t up, you will find 1t hard indeed to get that "dewy complexion" women love.
 Be careful about scrubbing your face with soap and water. Don't do 1t! Use cleansing oils whenever possible. If you still feel unwashed without actually washing. use rich nourishing cream and work 1t into your skin, and then, if you must, use a wash cloth and tepid soap studs, castle or some very mild face soap.
 After you have scrubbed your face to your hearts content, then rinse it with handfuls of cold wa ter dashed up over your face and hCCh, uEy thSIH tHQ tuSh ECPS6t the nourishing cream massage. Use astringents sparingly. They are drying. don't forget 1t. If you find your pores staying open, annoying ly, you will have to use something more efficacious than the cold wa ter splash. But continual cold wa ter face and neck baths firm the flesh and close the pores of . nor mai skin beautifully.
 If your skin is dry. use some glycerin and rosewater or some other oily lotion when going out doors for sports. This Is the skin that chaps and makes you rniser- Gble. oil 1t up properly 50 1t won't have a chance to chap! And. last thing at night, treat your face to a facial oil cleasing, with warmed facial oil, and then Q thor ough massage, using nourishing cream which you will leave on. By morning, the chances are, your skin will have absorbed 1t all.

 Ermintrude, plumper and less favored with positive prettiness than was Mary-Frances, and hence her satellite, received the accusa- tion at least indifferently. Since -t- he aOArfnr 1T emitting only the few grudged and the stupid interval spent in the high school classrooms, Mary Frances had talked increasingly of her approaching romance. That she herself was slightly bored with the affair Ermintrude would not have admitted. That she was fearful of proceeding further into 1t Ermin- ear rboatsrd-:fBty
 trude had been admitting repeat edly and more and more urgently
 "Yes," said Mary-Frances. "that is the trouble with you, Ermin- trude."
 "That you're like my sisters. Ann and Cecily, I told you. They think any old thing like their jobs, or keeping that old house of ours for Grand and Rosalie, or my educa- ton, even, Is more important than love-"
 Everybody says," contributed Ermintrude, "that your sisters are awfully good girls"
 "Well," said Mary Frances. as if the discussion had been one of racial characteristics and Ermin- trude had remarked that Anne and Cecily were white, "of course they're good. Why shouldn't they be good?"
 Anyway" said Ermintrude, "I don't think you'd better, Nary Frances, I don't, honestly"

A gruff voice had sounded in 1 Sues ear. Slow down, Sister. You're the dame we want all right"
 Sue turned her head to see who was speaking. A car had stopped across from hers A man got out and climbed on her own running board.
 "The lights green now. Drive to the police station. And slow down for traff1c signals"
 "I don't understand" Sue said. "Why?'
 "oh, yeah? Going to do the in nocent act? Well, maybe you don't understand what it's all about but the owners of this car does, all right. Step on the gas. Get start ed, and make 1t snappy.' The man threw back his coat and the gleam of police badge caught Sues eyes.

 The mother of to-day may we'll be confused by all the things she hears and reads about her chill dren.
 A day or two ago I read two short articles in the same journal both about children. And they were absolutely opposed to each other in their content.
 One author spoke of modern mothers drilling imagination out of their little folk and declared that they were deprived thereby of one of the finest things in life.
 The other warned against imag. ination and dream worlds as dan gerous things, giving her idea that 1t led the child away from reality and that eventually he would only be happy in his small mental world created by himself. She also sug- gested that 1t caused insanity in some cases. The truth is that both are right. I, myself, have pointed out the two extremes often.
 Combine the r'wo
 But they can be reconciled-- brought together and understood in c few words.
 It is very difficult to explain all the quirks and intricacies of char acter, which after all is the mind, or to say just what an even balance is. As to insanity we might ask pr. White of St. Elizabeth's in Wash ington. for instance, what causes 1t. After years and years of re. search he will probably tell us that there are hundreds of causes and hundreds of kinds and that no two cases are precisely alike or the result of the same things.
 As to children, a noted educator "Children are fluid. They are never the same people for more than e few minutes at time. They are SO intense, they change their interests so often: they act and think one time, and think then act, another. Where they happen to be and the people they are with changes them again. How are you going to know precisely when to influence them or when they are able to take in your idea of the moment?
 All this being true and all the psychology books on earth being unable to explain 1t away, 1t Is easy to see how writers are likely to contradict each other. Yet both may be right in general way.
 Cherish Some Mystery like the first writer's attitude. Ima gination is productive of great things. Are we to lose the fascina- ton of mystery and look on a star as q chemical mass in . galaxy /? If we cast imagination aside, all life would turn into bolts and riv. cts and laboratories. Life itself, its course. its phenomena are the greatest mysteries of all.
 On the other hand the unhappy child will go to imaginative ex. tremes. He withdraws from real things, becomes Q solitary and 6 dreamer--an obessive.
 If he gets to the point that real things and real people do not in- terest him at all, that he won't work, or play. or be friends, that is not so good. We find obsessives most commonly among the unhap- py children. A hearty, happy child treated well from infancy and kept very busy and interested rArely cultivates his imagination to the danger point.
 Worry and unhappiness lie be. Mind nearly all mental trouble of this kind. They are the real cause not the imagination itself. Imag- ination in this case is merely c defense the mind throws out to save itself.

 Keep to the straight and nar- row path in traffic" the man re- proved her. "A good thing to walk that way at other times, too."
 But I don't understand. What do you mean?" Sues eyes were q furious. blazing blue.
 Last night someone in this car got away with a nice job of boot logging. We got the number of the car and we have the goods on whoever was driving it.
 "Oh-h!" A light was coming to Sue. Last night my husband loaned this car to man named Foster who is the nephew of the senior partner in his law firm. He wanted to use 1t to meet his girl, You must be, mistaken" But all the time she acted dis believing, she was remembering that Jack didn't approve of the borrower and growing more con- vinced that the official of the law knew what he was talking about.
 "We'll find all that out later What We want now Is the car that did the dirty work By the way, | what is your name?'
 "sue Thornton. I'm married to Jack Tohrnton.'
 "Oh. Judge Thornton's daugh- ter-in-law? The girl whose father got accused? That was q scurvy trick If ever there was one. Well, hope you aren't in for another mess.''
 But we cant be-" Sue answered. "We can prove where we were with whom we were, and all the rest. And Foster had the car all right"

 publicans Doing Noth= ing to End Depression
PRAISE FOR ROOSEVELT

Representative William M. Citron, of Middletown, democratic candidate for congressman-a large, addressed the members of the New Britain Roosevelt for President" club last night in that city. He charged that the repu5- lican leadership is not offering any kind of a program to get the peo- pie out of the present depression or to assist them in avoiding such future depressions.
 He contrasted the ineptitude Of the republicans with the construc- tive program of, Governor Frank lin D.. Roosevelt the democratic presidential nominee. Governor Roosevelt, he pointed out, Is for repeal of the 18th amendment, for assisting agriculture equal to the assistance given industry by tariff, has set up a constructive railroad program, favors legislation to reg ulate interstate motor busses, promises to cut the cost of govern- ment and in a progressive, liberal manner offers the people certain remedies to meet the abuses that have crept into the public utility industry Representative Citron declared that as a candidate for congress he endorses the Roose- welt program.
