 "Yes, but why did James have to dash off the same day, that's what want to know?" pursued Gregory Lawrence, unappeased. He was a fine boy and I'd had him for years--ever since Higby died. You know I hate to drive myself and it's a job getting any body properly trained on short no- stice. Most upsetting."
 A welcome Interruption (for Sandra) was provided by the re- moval of the soup plates. The new servant. as Mir Lawrence's conver- sation had forecast, was disap- pointing. Her cap was habitually askew and she seemed uncommon ly nervous. Sandra, waiting to present the question of the western trip, almost despaired. She knew her parent well.
 "What you need -. what both of us need" she interposed, skill fully, ''is a vacation. This has been a miserable summer. Hot and mug gy. Why don't you go up to Pine Lake on a fishing trip? It would do you good and Della could get an- other maid and train her while we were away"
 "We?" The keen blue eyes un- der the J bushy white eyebrows stared at her. You wouldn't care for Pine Lake,"
 ''N-no." Sandra' admitted the truth of that. "But I'd thought of -that is I have an invitation from the Cardigans to go out to Wyo- ming. Their cousins are on dude ranch there. It sounds" finished Sandra with a playful note of wist- fulness, ''as though it would be fun."
 "Um-mm. see," MT Lawrence considered this.
 1T can drive you about for a week or two until you get someone to replace James," Sandra said eagerly. "I'd love that. Then you'd go away-and so would I = and twhen we got back everything would be running like clockwork again"

Don't Let Juvenile Court Scandals Obscure the Good That's
 Being Done

The row in Pittsburgh over the treatment of Juvenile Court chill dren assigned to private homes has two sides as has every other dis pute.
 It was charged that children were abused in some of the homes, that some were overworked, some starved, and others treated worse than dogs.
 These things were true and the fate of some of these children should and did call down the vengeance of the powers that be. A decent public was shocked that such a state of affairs should exist.
 As rule homes are selected with care for these pitiful little derelicts and the supervising ladies who visit the houses to check up on conditions do the best they can. One trouble with the whole system, however, is that there seldom are enough of these inspectors to visit the. hundreds of homes where such children live. To make a right and careful sur- vey of each one takes time.
 More Overseers Needed
 Anyone can trot out little boy or girl all scrubbed up for the oc- casion and have him sehooled Cor intimidated) as to answers when questioned. And I have no doubt this is common practice. There can be no proper supervision of these children until the court pro- vides enough overseers to do real and careful exploring.
 But how about the vast major itw of good homes where the chil- dren meet with decent kindliness for the first time in their lives? No one hears of them. And the result of such stir-up as Pittsburgh has had put stigma on all the kindly women who are earnestly mother ing their new broods. This is scarcely fair.
 These ructions in Juvenile Courts are not indigenous to Pitts- burgh. Scarcely day passes that

1 some scandal or other does not break in some hamlet or town. Best Efforts Sometimes Futile Sometimes these stir-ups are ex- cellent things. In fact I believe all of them are. There is too much carelessness about checking
 on the health and happiness of
 these little children, and a prod ding is needed here now and then as in everything else.
 Yet I know of many women who have taken almost impossible chil- dren and have endured stark agony while trying to make them
 into good citizens by every means in their power.
 In one case a lady had two girls,
 six and seven, who had known
 nothing but beatings all their
 short lives. Her kindness they
 took advantage of and gratitude
 was not in them. After a long
 struggle she had to give them up. Most Foster Parents Succeed. believe that these cases are l not a fair cross-section any more than the ones where abuse is re- ported. As rule the children and foster parents settle down into a normal and comfortable existence. The home idea is good thing. It has long been known that children need the influence of a home they can call their own rather than that of the institution, wherever it is possible.
 I do not like the idea of neigh
 bors and townsfolk being suspi- cious of the couple who take in
 Juvenile Court children and who tattle when it is unnecessary. A
 real report of wrong is a differ
 ent matter. But let us be fair, and
 give credit to those who are so
 earnestly trying.

Paris.--When a woman. praises a dress. I involuntarily. analyze all it's points. study its structure and judge it an indifferent model if it does not offer that trio of qualities which consider indis- pensable-perfect equilibrium, line and proportions.
 When dress possesses all three qualities, then it can be said to be a well-constructed model, but that does not necessarily mean it is al, attractive dress.
 The charm that is capable of evoking this kind of appreciation does not emanate from any of the three qualities mentioned, but from less important features which at first sight might appear somewhat futile. As a matetr of fact, it Is the trimming that con. stitutes the decorative and there- fore attractive element in any dress.
 Trimming Is All-Important
 It is also the trimming, particu- larly in the summer afternoon dress, which imparts that particu- lar charm proper to this somewhat plain type of frock and which Is expected of it, besides making 1t one of the most agreeable gar ments to wear and look at, Its crisp and fresh appearance is nearly always conveyed by lingerie tuches and provided these arc sufficiently clever and subtly com bined, a tremendous air of youth fulness will emanate from them.

TRY THIS RECIPE FOR CHILE
 CON CARNI
By SISTER MARY NEA Service Writer


 Hundreds of home-makers daily face the problem of serving whole some and palatable meals as econ omically as possible. Too often economy leads us into a rut and appetites lag from the sheer mon- otony of eating the same food in the same way over and over again. Unusual seasonings can do so much for everyday meat dishes that 1t behooves every cook to study their possibilities and make full use of them.
 Vegetable and meat combina- tions are interesting and appetiz- ing as well as a means. toward economy.
 The following rule for Chili Con Carne is unusual in several re- spects. It uses pork in place of beef and it adds corn and okra in place of the traditional beans. Chili powder rather than chilli pep pers give the distinctive seasoning.

The right creams and lotions are no longer luxuries. Prices have been cut and ingredients combin- ed until every woman can afford to have the four essential cosmetic complexion.
 A famous French manufacturer of excellent cosmetics recommends four things if you would have the skin that enhances your person. ality and charm. The four things are: cleansing cream, tissue cream, an astringent and a foundation cream.
 The cleansing cream should have one specific qualification. It must liquify the minute it touches your skin. Tissue cream should be of a very heavy texture and is to be used after you have cleaned your face and are ready to go to bed. Use it sparingly but leave it on all night as 1t is preventive for creepy skin and helps to keep your complexion clear and flaw less.
 The astringent must be purchas- ed according to your age. It comes in three strengths: the weakest for girls under 30, the medium for women under 40 and the strongest for women over 40. It serves to close pores and tone up dull and lifeless tissues. You should use 1t directlly after each cleansing you give your face.
 Foundation cream should have the consistency of whipped cream. Smooth it over your face before you put on makeup. The rouge and powder will blend in more perfect manner and your skin will have that peaches-and cream look.
 Keep these four preparations on your dressing table and use them correctly if you would have nice complexion and fiawless make up,

Corrinne Almost Abandons Flight
 "Then everything is all right ?" "All right?" Corrinne repeated. So he could dismiss it all as easily as that. Apparently hes wanted every thing to be all right. Then he couldn't want her to go away! But he didn't care whether she was sat- isfied or not with the arrangement. He didn't care whether the wrong was lighted or not. Outward calm was all he asked.

 Harry went to work. The storm didn't come. 1t hung in the sky. Corrinne seemed to hear threaten ings in the air. She wondered if her own upset mental condition had anything to do with her phy- sical reactions.
 She would go away-the very fact that Harry had been so calm seemed sufficient proof that he did not care if she went away. If he had wanted her, he would have been turbulent. upset, pleading. People only said words to hurt each other when they cared fierce ly. He had been too polite. -
 She packed a bag. She would not go until night. She would so honorably. She would ask for one of the twins. She had a right to one. She would let Harry take his choice.
 Oh, it was a sorry mixup. But there was nothing else she could do. She would get a job, and sup port herself. It would be all right for the child to accept it's fathers money, though.

END OF GARMENT

Dressmakers' Association
RatifieS Collective Bar
gaining Acceptance.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 18-An early
end of the strike affecting $4,000
workers in the women's garment in
dustry was seen today by Grover A.
Whalen. N. r. A. mediator, after the
National Association Of Dress Manufac-
turers ratified acceptance Of the prin-
ciple of collective bargaining
Four hundred members of the aSSo-
citation attended the meeting and heard
Whalen plead for acceptance of the
tentative basis for settlement of the
strike worked out at an all-night con-
ference last night.
Whalen pointed out that collective
bargaining was part Of the guaran-
act and told the manufacturers that
by recognizing the international union
the manufacturers and jobbers belong
ing to the association would have a
strong weapon to be used against Com
muniSt workers, who, he charged, have
been trouble makers generally.
The vote to ratify the collective
bargaining point, tentatively agreed
upon at last nights conference, was
a rising one. the margin being about
nine to one
Last nights conference agreed on
collective bargaining and compromise
was reached on 35hour week
The third point was left for settle
ment at hearing in Washington
August % on a code for the needle in
dustry. This point provides that jobbers
and manufacturers who employ con-
tractors shall deal exclusively with only
such a number of contractors as they
actually need for their production.
On the fifth point, which concerns
pay scales, no agreement was reached.
The union and the association have
prepared separate scales, which they
plan tonight to discuss at a session OF
all organizations concerned.
