They went off on their skis

coffee and doughnuts in funny

Money and Romance
1t was Barry's natural del
icacy of feeling that held him
back, Judith assured herself.
When he was in a position to
propose to her, he would. Al
though she'd be glad and willing
to go right on working at the
bank after she was married, as
before, maybe it would take a
little of the bloom from their
romance to speak of mundane
finance now.
Thousands of infatuated girls
have argued thus, like Judith.
This enchanted morning was
to stand out in her mind for
many months. Judith was to
look back on it many, many
times as a bitter-sWeet memory.
They were halfway home
when over the valleys came a
high, sweet yodelling.
Gracious! What's that?"
Judith exclaimed.
Barry's face changed. A

You don't have to wait for
warm days to get out on the
fairways. If you drive by a
golf course almost any mild
winter day, you will see many
people out playing golf. But,
of course, they must be sensi-
bly, dressed. Sometimes it's
hard to find just the right
sort of clothes for late winter
and spring golfing. But the
last season or so, with leather
playing an important fashion
role, and with such marvellous
improvements in knitted mate
rials, it's been easy to find
splendid golfing things.
For a Free Swing
The important considerations
are freedom of action, warmth,
and good looks, last but not
least. Nearly any knitted mate
rial will stretch enough to give
you arm movement, or if it
does not, dresses are made with

Note-In scoring this test an
8-year-old child, for instance,
receives a perfect score if it is
able to answer correctly the
questions given for that year.
IT it fails on one question but
answers one correctly at the
nine-year level, the minus mark
under eight is balanced by the
plus under nine.
Although there are specific
rules for giving these questions,
a person can get a fairly com.
prehensive idea of a child's
ability even without knowing
them; The only0danger is be-
ing too lenient.
Should a child fail, it should
not be taken too seriously. Un.
less, by Way of corroboration,
other tests are given and inter-
preted by an expert psycholo-
gist, one should not jump to
the conclusion that a child is
retarded in its mental develop
ment.

Here's a Good Father

Here's a GOOd FaCner
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I suppose in all your years OF
answering peoples problems
you've never been confronted
with such a one as this. I have
a little son two and a half

The girl who is his mother de-
serted us when he was not quite
a wear old. She was not my
wife and I do not know Where
she is.
to find her. ..
7 have a good steady position,
and I leave the little boy with
a, good old soul who looks after
him. But she isn't able to take
him out for fresh air and sun
shine during the day, and When
I get home it's too late. While
the old lady is kind and IS
very fond of the boy. she takes
a drop too much now and
again, I could marry, but I'm
afraid any girl I'd marry might
not be good to the boy, es-
pecially if we had children OF
our own. I am indeed IN a
puzzled state of mind.
A FATHER.
There are several very good
day nurseries in the city from
which you write me, and !
should think the little boy would
he better off in one of them
than in the care of an old
woman, no matter how kind
who is unable to see that the
child has fresh air and sun
shine. Besides, it's positively
dangerous to leave him with a
woman who takes a drop too
much" or any drop at all,
when she's caring for a baby.
Don't you think it would be
well to look around with an
idea of acquiring a good wife?
The world is just full of fine
girls who love children, and who
would be only too glad to
mother the little boy. Get
some really responsible person

The movie star Is very fair
And very full of grace,
With suns soft gold upon her
hair
And lily-like, her face.
The drudge who in the dark
ness sits
Watches with eyes entranced
AS though, where that proud
creature fits,
A dream before her danced.
Adventure waits the movie
star,
And love and bright romance,
By land and sea she journeys
far
Through realms of change and
chance.
The drudge sits breathless in
the dark
And sees upon the screen
Her own life, lowered with
beauty's spark,
Unfold through scene on scene.
And when, too soon, the film
is through,
Back to h~r days dull prose
She, who has drunk enchant-

With quickened courage goes.

Intelligence in Children" by
Alfred Binet, Sc.D., and Tn.

The Binet-Simon test is un-
doubtedly the best yet devised
and it is given below almost in
its entirety, one or two ques-

age because the performance
of these requires special test

Her Conscience Hurts Her
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I want your advice as soon as
possible because my conscience
hurts, and I know no one to
whom ! can go and without
making gossip.
I have been going with a man
for a long time. He is married
and claims he does not get a
divorce on account of a child.
He declares he loves me, and
is very jealous. I've given in
to him in certain ways that
hurt my conscience. but I feel
uncertain Of his true love and
do not know just what to do,
or how to break off with him.
UNCERTAIN.
I suppose. my dear, that he
has told you his wife dosen't
understand him. and that he
was. oh so lonely. and the only
time he is really happy is when
he is with you?
All these things are the reg.
ular stencils of the married
man sneak thief in love mat
ters. Of course he has no in
tention of getting a divorce.
He's more coWardly than
hiding behind a woman's
skirts" he's hiding behind a
child's rompers. Besides, would
you want to have it on your
conscience that you wrecked
a home where a child is grow
ing up? You've asked me ad-
vice. It's to say goodbye to
that man, and mean it.

I dealt rs hand to myself.
I did not want to bid no trump
with the doubleton spade, nor
could I bid either of the three
card minor suits, so I bid the
five-card heart suit, although
it failed to meet ordinary re-
quirements. My partner over
called with 1-Spade. I shifted
into 2-No Trumps, and my part
ner bid 3-No Trumps. The
opening lead was the 6 Of dia-
monds. We won three dia-
mond, three spade and four
club tricks. Had hearts been
opened we could have made
three-odd.
The night before writing this
article the hand shown below
was dealt. Over rs opening
bid of 1-Spade, I bid 2-Hearts,
to discover who held clubs.
When my partner bid 3-Clubs I
bid 3.No Trumps. 1t does not

Unusual Suit Bids

Under ordinary circum-
stances it is improper to make
an opening bid Of a suit in
capable of winning a minimum
of three trump tricks provided
neither adversary holds more
than three cards of the suit,
and further provided dummy
has at least three small trumps.
But general strength and the
division of the remaining cards
Of the hand at times may
render it necessary to bid an
exceedingly weak suit for
strategic purposes. Two such
instances are shown in this

War Ministry a few years ago. He is
only 81, but looks considerably older.
especially when he frowns. which he
does frequently. He is fighter, and
can kill with words.
In Poland the President and the
prime minister Of the republic occupy
subordinate positions The places of
real importance are those of the min
lister Of defense, Marshal Pilsudski.
and the minister of foreign affairs,
Col. Beck The marshal is seri-
ously i'll and seldom leaves his resi-
dence in the Belvedere or his country
home near Wilma. In a political sense
the colonel is the marshaPs adopted
son, the executor of his ideas, and the
bearer of governmental continuity.
Beck was Pilsudskis aide-de-camp
back in the war days of the Polish
Legion when the marshal fought
against the Russians. When Pilsud-
ski was in better health, he drafted
Beck as a fellow adyenturer and they
| hatched out their political plans to-
gether In the political gossip clubs
! of Warsaw even then the belief was
| popular that the marshal was under
! the influence of his younger comrade
and that the real dictator was Beck.
There is curious similarity in the
way these three ghost rulers have re-
Gently been forced into the foreground.
All three were confidential advisers to
dictators; but this Winter promises to
be hard one and the ghost rulers
seem to have been convinced that
! conditions were too serious for them to
remain in the background
| 1t is another curious irony Of fate
that all three of these ghost rulers
strong believers in the convincing
power Of armies-should have to fall
back on policy of peace and OF
democracy as means of saving their
countries from further trouble. Gen.
Schleicher is doing all he can to
counteract the influence of his Ma
tional Socialist critics Gen. Com
bos had to retract his Irredentist faith
and one OF the main points of his pro-
gram is a policy of peaceful co-opera-
ton with the neighbors Of Hungary
And, finally, Joseph Beck, who is de-
picted by the Moscow papers as the
wielder of the spear pointed at the
heart of bolshevism, had to give his
approval to the signing of nom
aggression pact with Russia and to de-
clare war on the anti-German jingoes
This Winter will test the efficiency
of ghost rulers In positions of great
responsibility The three countries
that these former phantom rulers head
are located strategically and are the
victims OF an appalling crisis. Will
they retain their power In the posi-
tons they occupy or will their strength
