turn home. She had packed that night.
 Things must have been hard for mother even to write that letter She had been doing things for them all their lives, sacrificing to make the two years at Miss Bar rington's possible for Joan. She had wanted her to meet the right people. And worrying through somehow while Joan was at Hol- brook Hall. Mothers face had grown old and tired, sacrificing for her children. It was all wrong. Mother had had so little happi- ness. Marrying father had been a mistake. Aunt Maude had told Joan all about it when she was he. How pretty mother had been and happy, in the little Mississip- pi town where she sang in the church choir. Father, passing through the town, had come to the church. One of the few times in his life, Aunt Maude had guessed. He fell in love with mother and they were very happy for a short while until he began drinking again. Mother had known about fathers drinking and gambling. but had thought she could reform him.
 No girl. now, would ever think that. Girls who married such men to-day did 1t because they wanted to and not because they expected to change things.
 They had lived in the big, old Waring place after fathers parents died. The older Warnings had never been very cordial to mother, but she hadn't talked about it. And their pictures, in massive. old frames, were still hanging in the gloomy old room which had once been the family library.
 Joan could scarcely remember the time when they had not lived in the old house. And she had tragic, terrible time when father He had shot himself, but it was not until later that mother had learned about the money he had l taken.
 After that the few people in the neighborhood who had been friendly stopped coming. Then the "best families" were moving off the street and building beautiful homes in suburban sections. Now, with the exception of the Warnings, the entire block was filled with boarding houses.
 But her mother had managed somehow, to give them music and dancing lessons and they had kept up an appearance of com fortable living on the rental from the farm. People had forgotten about father after while and they had had some happy times at school.
 "I'm going to make up to mother for everything as much as I can," Joan thought as she walked along Madison. The im- portant thing, looming larger than anything else just then. was find- ing a job.
 The woman at the business ex- change listened to loans brief re- cital of accomplishments with a speculative look in her eye and

 little book. Psychology in Daily Life,--"It is wrong for one to work desperately and allow his physi- ological machinery to run down for ten months because there will be two months in which to recuper- ate. Yet this is too frequently our idea of a vacation, and in most cases 1t is unwise. The natural period of rest Is not the year but the day. Rest and recreation should be distributed all through the year."

 Paris, (UP)-Who's wearing what these days?
 At a banquet recently at the Restaurant Ambassadors, Madame Hourblin, known for her chic, wore a Maggy Rouff concoction in white tulle-millions of ruffles going around the skirt in a series of deep V's attached at the upper points, and flocks of them from the just off-the-shoulder decolletage to the elbow. Skirt enormously full and the whole thing very old fashioned. Mime Hourblin wore one wide diamond bracelet and a four-strand pearl necklace.
 Miss Josyane, the movie girl who won the second Grand Prix d'elegance for 1883, wore Ia dress of white silk over a slip in white moracain trimmed with white ostrich feathers. It is a creation by Edmond Courtot.
 Then there's Mademoisel1e Masse, the well-known painter, who wore a draped toque in black velvet. There is a little window" in the velvet showing wee speck of the forehead and an inch or so of hair.

"I met him on the train. That is--I didn't really meet him. We just talked and l ran away from him when I saw you all coming. You see, he was so perfectly sure he had attached me. But he was really wonderful. Pat! Handsome and sort of rugged, like he had played football or planned big bridges and helped build them."
 'Imagine!" scoffed Pat. "A superman"

 "Well. don't lose any sleep over it!' Pat was out of bed now, hastily sorting out lingerie from a bureau drawer.
 Joan was dressed now, looking very smart in her tweed suit with a small. dark hat hugging her cloudy hair.
 "Now," she said, I'm going out to get a job."
 This confidence carried her through the morning, but by noon much of her assurance was gone. At lunch time she sat in the Lit tie Tea Shop. It had been Q dis couraging morning. Professor Jayne was speaking at a princi- pals conference and both Profes- sor Harrison and Professor Wilson were attending it:
 Joan had driven downtown, parked the battered old family car near Cossit library and walked over to a business exchange.

 Only a few days before, her mothers letter had come. reveal ing the difficulties. Mrs Waring had written: Bill and Sara have decided to be married in June, dear. which means Bill must save pennies.

He's helped so long and it's only right that he should have his happiness now. The place isn't rented yet = of course it will be eventually.

 When she had finished the next paragraph Joan had put the let ter aside for a moment and walked to the window. Without really seeing it, she stared at the campus, white with snow.

Women seem so startled when they occasionally learn that some- thing in last seasons wardrobe need not be delegated to the ash- can.

CARNERA DROPS SEVEN POUNDSM
 SHORT SESSIONS
Italian Drills Hard to Reach Physical Acme Under De Foes Care
fspecial to the Democrat)

New York, May 3O.-While Jack Sharkey laid off yesterday for a bit of a rest, challenger Primo Camera enthused large crowd. for the most part Italian friends, at Pompton Lakes, N. J., with IS rounds of work. Apparently the mountainous lad wants to get in all the hard labor he can before his handlers command him to ease up. =.
 Camera wants to whip himself into the greatest condition of his career for the Sharkey champion ship battle over the scheduled 15 rounds trail, which takes place at the Garden Bowl, Long Island city, Thursday evening, June 29. Primo boxed six rounds, two each with Jerry Pavleck, Frank Ed gren and Muggs Kerr. He did considerable bag punching, rope skipping, wrestling and the cus- tomary calisthenics.
 After the strenuous work out Trainer Billy De Foe, one of the greatest featherweights in ring his- tory, put him on the scales. Car nera tipped the beam at the 263 notch.
 Lost Weight Quickly
 Camera began training last Thursday. When he entered the gym for the first time he weighed 270 pounds.
 Beginning tomorrow De Foe will increase Carnera's boxing, and a flock of new sparring mates will be sent to the camp from day to day.
 In the morning at the unearthly hour of o'clock Camera is to be found on the country roads knock ing off six or seven miles with De Foe. He likes road work. He has his breakfast at o'clock, and it consists chiefly of fresh fruits, ce- reals and milk. He doesn't taste another morsel of food until o. clock in the evening. He is not a heavy eater, reports to the con- trary notwithstanding.
 Sharkey boxed little over the last week end. Sunday he spared four rounds, two each with Charley Anderson and Eddie Malcolm. Yes- terday he came to New York with his wife to take in a picture. He weighs around POS pounds, ac- cording to his handlers at Orange burgh, N. r., where he is en- sconsed.
