DAVID'S LOVE MAKING FAILS
 The day after the shooting trag- edy, Joan was sitting quietly in the living room wondering how she could appear so calm. with her mind in such turmoil, when the doorbell rang. She opened the door. David Harter was standing there.
 She smiled apologetically. She had almost forgotten about him. "Oh come in" The words were cut-and-dried. No welcome danc- ed through them with loans usual vibrancy. Not so glad to see me, are your" he asked.
 "Of course. It's nice to find old friends again." old friends! And only a few days before she had thought that everything in the world that was gay and glad and glamorous de- pended on his return! David swung her around, hands resting on her shoulders.
 Listen, my dear, you are going to marry mel" She laughed as she released her self. "Oh no, I'm not. And that my dear has a fatherly sound. There are so many more interest," ing. heart rt-stirring words to say when you make love to a. girl, Day. Id. You used to know them all. And surely you can't be out of practice"
 He stepped back. Want re- cital of the terms?"
 Not now, thank you. It's morn ing and they sound better along about twilight. Don't you think so. too?" Joan knew that conver- sation was silly.
 He sat down, pulled out his pipe, began to imoke.
 "You know that I'm engaged t9 marry Phil, don't your" Joan ask ed him. ''He's rather grand, even fl I am prejudiced. I'm giving up the tea room"

believe that skin blemishes are an act of nature and that they will outgrow them. This lassiez-faire policy is responsible for many o1 the coarse -pored, scared skins
 that girls carry through life. The best skin specialists and doctors agree that this is wrong, although it is true that the oil glands of the face as we'll as the other glands of the body are particularly active be- tween the ages of twelve and twenty. Blackheads are due. to failure of the oil-glands to empty properly. They are not always dirt. the oil becomes oxidized by air and turns black. and, of course, dust mingles also with the oil to help clog the pores. Most cases yield to a strict cleansing regime, with right habits of living, of course.
 "Tell Babs to go back to her treatment. Tell her to give up sweets and rich food. To eat plen- tifully of fruits, vegetables with roughage, coarse breads and ce- reals. Emphasize the fact that she must never go to bed without re- moving every particle of makeup. Tell her for me that she can do a great deal for her skin in months time if she will use her special washing preparation just as told her to, following with little pas- teurized cream. And send her a little jar of medicated cream to apply to the pimples. Tell her to leave it on all night to heal and clear"
 How wonderful that can al- ways count on you," said Sally, at leaving. T know Babs will fol- low instructions this time. Thank you for both of us.'

YOUR CHILDREN

 Harry drew up one corner of his mouth, bllnked one eye and stam,. mered: ''Six."

 Twenty"

 Harry's father put down his | paper and took off his glassea "Aren't you ashamed of yourself! My son an illiterate. It can't be | possible"
 Bad spelling isn't being iliiter- ate, Tom. never could spell eat" his mother interrupted. '.He does the best he can and Miss Johnson keeps him in every night an hour. Why the poor child writes hundreds of words day"
 "The t-trouble is," defended Harry, "I never get those same w-words again that d-do over. know them but it's the new ones can't seem to remember"
 -Stop screwing up your face that way and batting that eye. Look here, you've got to study harder, and if I catch you making any more fifties on your report card. I'll trash you" his father said:
 Worried Over Eyes The boy put his hand to his face and rubbed it. But when he took it away the twitching began again
 'Go on now and study your spelling" said Harry's father, picking up his paper again.. But when his son asked his mother to help him he stopped reading long enough to say sharply, Don't bother your mother. She has enough to do."
 Now Harry's mother was wor- ried about that nervous twitchine and blinking. She had spoken oi 1t to her husband several times but he had read book on children once and had jumped to conclu- sions. "Habit-that's all. Maybe he can't see. Get him glasses.'
 The oculist could find nothine wrong except a very slight stig. matism.
 Harry missed five words the next day and was writing long col. umns of "niece," peace" lease fleece" and police" on the black. board when his mother went to gel him. He was excused after the teacher had voiced her heartbreak over him, and his mother took him to a child doctor of whom his father never approved.
 Needed Study Fun. l Dr Brown looked Harry over He kept him giggling with funn, remarks. Harry laughed and laughed and ceased blinking. But why he was there was a secret from him. The telephone had fixed that.
 But when Harry was sent out to the back yard to look at new pup, Dr Brown was seriou. enough. Had Harry any worries No, none at all." But by persist ence he learn about the spelling.
 That's it-unhappiness ant worry over something he can help" he said. Gan you let some thing else go and help him? Make his spelling study time an interest ing and happy hour? And try tt think of some method or gami that will teach him to remember? 2

ERY, LOVES COMPANY
 Misery isn't the only thing that loves company.
 If you're starting to diet, or treat your hair, or put yourself through a course of sprouts in in exercis- ing, why not sign up your girl friend or your sister to do the same.
 You'll find that having some- one else committed to the same amount of exertion, or the same self.denial of food, or the same number of brush strokes on your hair by night, gives you just the moral stamina you may need to carry on.
 For the biggest single stumbling block to beauty is lack of continu- ity in treatments. Haven't you yourself bought an expensive jar of cream of a manicure set or a hair tonic, resolving to spend a half hour every night towards beautifying and then weaken about tho third night Everybody has!
 Don't be discouraged but do sec if you can't fortify yourself by getting a partner in beauty treat- ments. You'll find that you hate to atmit that you're just weak woman, who can't stick. to sched- ule. Yon'll go a lot further toward carrying out your original plan.
 Sometimes a little competition with a friend spurs you on. Sup- pose you~both tackle a diet at the samc time. Put up a supper on who loses the larger number of pounds within month. Let the winner eat dinner cooked by the loser, or go to a matinee on tick cts bought by the loser.
 Why not talk over a plan with your girl friend for devoting a half hour every night to beauty. Lay out schedule of so many brushes to the hair, so many strokes mas- saging the face, so many minutes to your nails.
 You'll find yourself. muc hmore punctilious. You'll enjoy the re- suits more, too, when you can ad- mire each other.

It was not necessary for these birds
to skim the waves Of the sea In pur-

But a condition occurred that almost

Harriet Livermore was real woman

widely, preached frequently and elo-
quently of the immanent second COM

fed every tradition of her sex by talk
ing before congress, and twice on the
same day. For some time she had
made her home with Lady Hester
Stanhope until the two had quarreled
over horse they both desired to ride
when the Messiah should reappear.

offered to give free lecture in the

coast Of Chile. where he lived for four
years and four months, much, per-
