 Bannister seated himself on the edge of the desk. McNeal, he thought, looked exactly as he had six years before.

1 Don't promise the children the whole earth for Christmas, or at least all the toys at the North Pole. | Of course, we have to credit children with sense. When they make out their lists and put down about everything in the shop, they know that, Kind as Santa Claus is, even good fairy has his limits. Besides, those who can write usu- ally know they are taking big chance on his existence at all. l But it, usually goes something like this:
 What do you want Santa Claus to bring you?" And HE says. ':"I want drum, a horn, ball, Teddy bear, d train. sled. wagon, pair of skates, a soldier suit, a tricycle., a -" And on as long as his imagination holds out. | Then we say, "All rightee. We'll have to tell Santa to bring all those things" We count up what we can snitch out of the grocery money and think maybe we can get Sonny 8 horn, a drum, and Q ball, and perhaps, if father will eat hamburger or chuck six nights running, we can wrangie a train, too.
 Making Promises l There isn't much harm done in a way unless son has set his heart an tricycle., say, or something the moment. Then he is in for a big disappointment.
 One time friend of mine prom | iSod hav. little pirl a hiCulla dnlI It was in window and the child said she wanted it. In fact she | wanted about a dozen things in that window, all big expensive toys. And when she asked if she could have them her mother said yes.
 went with her to price the doll, but 1t was twice as expensive as the others of the same size, being | real bisque and naturally higher. | Probably if she had bought an- other doll dressed similarly, with a blue coat and hat instead of pink, the little girl would not have noticed the difference. She cried that 1t wasn't her dolly, and 1t just about ruined her own and every body else's Christmas.
 Shopping with Mother This was a spoiled baby. She needed a good smacking thought. She was the kind of child who went shopping with her mother and when she couldn't have the hat or dress she wanted, lay down on the store floor and kicked and yelled until she got it.
 But it shows that when children tell us what they want. although they usually get pretty greedy. usually there is some one thing. or perhaps two, they have set their hearts on.
 If we know what it is, and buy. ing it is out of the question, 1t is almost cruel to promise that Santa will surely lay it under the tree. often wonder how many unnec. essary heartaches there are on Christmas morning.

PARIS STYLES
BY MARY KNIGHT

(United Press Stan Correspondent)
 Paris - (U.P.) - Suzy Whites Domino" hat gets a Noble Prize in the field of headgear science. It is made of inch-square checks of black gaillac and antelope and is trimmed with a tantalizing taif- feather perched squarely at the top. Soft and pliable, the fur and antelope fit the form of the head at the back and the affair looks as if it might have been cut out of g. checkerboard and in a triangular shape, the point of which touches the nape of the neck. There is a. dole in the top like the crater of g. volcano out of which the feather suddenly erupts.
 Suzy signs another peace pact with the hat entente, using the word "Bayard". This is a bonnet shaped hat of green felt trimmed with two puffs of ostrich feathers in two shade of green, neither of which is the same as the hat it. self. A wide fold of felt turns back way off the forehead so you can see bit of hair below it, and this fold sweeps on around the sides with downward movement past the ears and then up again to the tips of the ears where the two puffs of ostrich take it in hand and hold it in place. The felt sweeps low on the neck but permits few upturning curls to creep over the edge. It not only keeps the ears warm but makes them burn when other folks sec 1t.

What to open against a slam
 contract always is a problem. Gen. orally the leading of an ace is just
 the play that will make it easy for the declarer.
 I believe, however. that the poorest lead against such a con-
 tract is the opening of trump. By doing so, you practically let the de- clarer cal for his lead.
 In other words, you surrender any advantage you might have of
 developing a. trick for your side because it is certain that, against
 E. trump lead, the declarer can win the first trick and then can
 start establishing his own suit.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 NhiCI. AnaSfhqfifs

Will you kindly inform me whe- ther there are other anesthetlcs than ether and noyocaine. Ether does not seem to set well on a weak stomach and novocaine Is not very efficient (Mrs E. c. H.)
 Answer-Whether it is kindly or not can inform you there are sev- eral other anesthetics, but the choice of the a..esthetic most suit able in 8 given case is a question best left to the Judgement of the physician.
 Sulphur DiOxide have noticed several times where you objected to sulphur di- oxide used as a pressrvative in foods. As several things am fond of, especially molasses, contain 1t, wonder if you will explain what i'll effects 1t has on health. (H. L.. |L.)
 Answer-Sulphur dioxide (anhy- dride of sulphurous acid) is a pois- on. Just how much one may con- sume with impunity, cannot say. It is unnecessary to add any such chemical preservative if the food is quite pure and fresh and fit to eat when canned, dried or processed. The finest brands of molasses l know contain no sulphur dioxide:

in any case is the best medical and surgical care from the first moment such care is available. People who elect to monkey .Wit.r their own wounds or to have truck with neighborhood busy bodies or char
 latans summoned from the next county should wear their ugly scars
 with good grace. ,,.- Once a scare has formed, nothing
 but surgery can remove or conceal
 it or materially improve the cos-
 metic appearance. In some in- stances the scar or, surrounding skin may be tattooed to blend well. In others the scar may he c!everly excised and the healthy skin edges approXimated so IS to heal with less conspicuous scar. In others the defect left by excision of the cicatriX or mass of dense scar tis- sue is filled by suitable skin gratis. In any case it is q problem for the reputable surgeon. and not for the self commended quack.
 In this field there are a great many quacks who hold themselves out as great beauty experts or plas- tic surgeons, but who are actually obscure practitioners without pro- fessional standing. Licensed as physicians and surgeons, perhaps, but of i'll repute neverthless. So low in repute. indeed. that they can't get insurance from the stand ard insurance companies. insurance to protect them against malpractice suits and to pay the judgment or damages the court might award the victim of 8 bun3ling job, for in- stance. Not bad idea to select surgeon who is responsible, when you have truck with surgeons at all. Then in the event that the sur geon gets careless or forgets to gather up all his paraphernalia when he is through with the oper- ation. you can at least have the sat- isfaction of demanding a snug sum from him by way of balm.
 The reputable plastic or cosmetic or beauty or sculptural surgeon al- ways practices under his own name, never as an institute" or other impersonal or corporate name. If you inquire of any reput- able physician. surgeon or special ist in the community about the man you will learn that he is respected by his fellows. Not so the quack.

WOUNDS AND BURNS

In nearly every community where the (health) intelligence is low there is some old woman or a her init or other queer character who is shrewd enough to take advantage of the credulity of the neighbors and to capitalize the superstitious regard that may eventually bring the charlatan an easy living cater ing to the ignorant folk who seek miracles.
 Most wounds and burns cause moro or less itching when they are healing or for a short time after healing is completed. It is safe for the charlatEn to promise to cure the itching if she gets a whack at it. The itching is certain to cease presently, no matter what is done.

Hard to grasp mentally but this is the conclusion of the wisest living men in this field.
 2.-Decidedly. Every positive fa- culty and emotion We neglect or suppress tends to dry up and, in time, vanish or even turn into an aversion. AS noted recently, Charles Darwin loved poetry in his youth, but trained himself so rigidly in hard-boiled science that in old age poetry nauseated him. Young people today who put up a hard-boiled poker front may escape some things but they miss a great deal more and will miss still more as they grow older.

Pit kin, says: Virtually every act in the love life is true give and take in which neither party forces will pattern completely on the other; each yields something, each gives something and each gets something desired" Please~-note this Is A picture of the real love life and not a picture of Che un- happy situation where one expects to get all and give nothing. The yielding should be equal.
