 Stories for All Ages
 Children take their stories with a dose of salt. If they are very. very little, read them animal stories, or stories of toys, or little boys and girls and cows and spar rows and chickens. When they are old enough to hear fairy tales or stories of adventur, they need not be served pap all together.

 What is harmful in stories is detail. Red eyes in the "hot breath at his heels" "the body without a head" Darkness filled with groans and Things like that.
 Horror Is different from thrill. Children do get a fear" complex from malignant or sangulnary tales quite often. or from unnat- ural figures. They can stand to hear about "genii." for instance. but ghosts should never be in their vocabulary.
 If adventure stories make your child nervous--wait till later. But if he has to hear about birds and flowers all his life, l don't give nickel for him, or the story-teller, either

It is a principle in good decora- ton that one motif shall not checkmate another In point of em- phasis. Therefore, in spite of the trend toward applied design in boudoir accessories, it Is well to first consider the relation of the set to the setting.
 Where the dressing table Is as definite in design as the one illus trated, plain accessories are bet ter. Here the lustris pattern with it's rounded lines and pearly. pale green, surface Is far more effective against the patterned chlntz fiounce of the table than more highly decorated pieces would be. pond lily petals on a ruffled lake, This set, which vaguely suggests comes in three other shades, pastel rose, maize and ivory.

Managing new long hair calls for real ingenuity.
 There is that in-between stage where 1t isn't quite long enough to make q snood, and q little too long just to fluff out beneath comb at the back of the neck.
 If your hair Is naturally wavy. and not really curly. you probably are seeking ways and means of do- ing something smart with those loose ends, after you have pinned back the sides and top of your hair.
 One woman l know puts those ends up on curl papers. Old fashioned curled papers! She can tuck them under during the morn ing about the house, or during the night, and when she does her hair for going out, she takes them off the curlers and then makes very loose knot of them.
 They don't curl enough to be left just as curls. But they make the most beautiful loose knot in in the world and. should a pin or two come loose, the little ten- drills that drift down are attractive and do not bear the least resem- blance to these straight "scolding locks" that are the bane of wom- en with straight, long hair.
 There are various ways amass- ing curls on the nape of your neck. The woman with a head that Is none too well shaped should he careful not to place her curls too high. That fattens her already too fiat head profile. Rath- CT, try pinning your hair tight to the nape of your neck and huffing your curls out below. This gives the head n marvellous shape. One of two very attractive blonde dsbutantes have tried out the trick of having a Janice Mere dith curl in their new long hair. It takes a knockout Of q young sters. to my way Of thinking. to get away with it. Much better to show your originality some other

NOW 60 ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XVIII

"I cant think about it," said Anne. T know, and I believe you know, that it would kill Grand and Rosalie. I mean--it would really kill them. They'd die. Think about going to them with such a suggestion! Planning to take them strip them of their pride, and everything that they believe they have accomplished with their lives, and they are old. If we paid their board 1t would be charity and noth- ing else, and they'd know it. As well put them in the poorhouse. so far as the Fundamentals are con cerned. They couldn't take up their lives in other peoples homes. It would be like transplanting old trees into soil they couldn't live in. It would be--murdering them, af- ter we'd broken their hearts"
 1T don't know that that is true" said Phil. 1T think 1t isn't, But l knew you'd say 1t. knew almost the very words you'd use. Except that you forgot to mention what yon owe them"
 ,..Just the same, Phil, whether you like 1t or not. we were three lltle orphan girls with no other relatives in the world. And Grand and Rosalie did take us right in and support us entirely for several years They'd do 1t yet if they could, and willingly---they think thatt hey are---and they've given us love and interest and care all these years. don't say that we've given them nothing. But they've given to us, too. When mother and father died, if 1t hadn't been for Grand and Rosalie, we three girls would have been reared in an or- phAn asylum" Her voice trembled over the last of 1t, and two tears waiting were wiped not furtlvely ly away.
 Phil took his hand from the wheel and pattcd her knee.
 "I'm sorry, dear, if l have wor- ried you. Don't worry, please. Ju,t know that love you--and YOU only in tho world. We are going to get this thing thought through and find a solution before long now"
 "Phil, dear" she answered. "1 am afraid we can't"
 And I'm afraid" he said, that we shall have to. Very soon.'

League Group to Take More Time in
China Before Seeing Manchuria.

NANKING, China, March 80 E1.-
The League of Nations commissioners
sent to inquire into the Manchurian
conflict between China and Japan de-
cided yesterday to look over China
proper a little longer, disregarding
Chinese efforts to hasten them into
Manchuria.
The commissioners planned to leave
Nanking Friday by steamer for Hankow.
From that point they will go on to
Pieping by train. 49,,
The Nanking government sought to
persuade the commission to go to
Manchuria at the earliest possible mo-
ment. It contended that the japanese
suggested the visit to Hankow.
1t was believed here that the Jap
anese were eager to have the visitors
contrast the administration today Of
the former British concession there
with what it was under the British, who
turned it back to China in 1927. 1t is
generally admitted that the concession
has been affected disavantageously by
unsettled conditions in the Hankow dis
trict by the recent disastrous floods and
by other influences.
