something left to make 1t worth- while for us to go on. Usually 1t is some other person.
 Little Jean and I have known some hard times. For more than eight years l met defeat at every turn. It was not so bad while l had my health. But when my health broke'it was extremely hard to earn enough for Us to liVo on. I let myself believe only the en- couraging reports of those who had suffered similarly and determined I had not yet reached bottom. Each night l prayed that would be able to get lip next morning and to do the homework and take care of Jean. It seems small boon to ask but 1t was q very important one. My recovery was complete and l shall try never to complain about anything again so long as have health and the opportunity to earn living"
 Mrs Penney smiled cheerfully and added, T have some friends who seem to disapprove of my at- titude, which they say is too cheer- ful. and my active sense of humor. A crushed and mournful appear ance would seem to them more be- coming. But l have had to be both father and mother to little Jean and I want her to have q happy life. So you see can't think of myself alone!"
 What was 1t the minister had said that morning in church? You ask for some living manifes- tation of God in our midst. Can you not see for yourself the sac- rihcing mother who forgets self in the interest of her child?"
 There had been more of course, but that one sentence of the Thanksgiving sermon stood out Tn Eyes memories, coupled with Mrs Penneys story. What an infin- itcsimal thing the loss of dollars and cents seemed compared to tho obstacles this little woman had had Co battle alone! What q triumph over diversity was hers. Eve felt her own aims trivial after Mrs Penney had finished her story.
 When Eve reached home that night she wrote long letter to her husband.
 And so.' she wrote in conelu- sion, "aftcr my talk with Mrs Penney I've decided to give Up work here and come to Pine For est if you want mo to and if there is q house available. don't sup pose there ts such q thing as an apartment to be had therc."
 Slowly, with unsteady fingers, she folded the pages and placed them in an envelope. Tomorrow she would tell Earle Barnes that she was through at Bixby's. she would sacrifice the dream that had ben hers so long - the dream of seeing her name on the door of a private office above the words, "Advertising Manager" She would sacrifice all that for Dick.
 Yes, Eve told herself. she was willing to forget her ambitions if Dick wanted her. "If he wanted her!" The words seemed to form themselves into litany which sang itself over and over again in her mind.

death was beginning to attract wide attention"
 Eve was interested. She had wondered about the little woman with the brave, smiling face and gentle manners. Eve had always thought there must be an interest ing story concerning Mrs Penney. She encouraged her to go on.
 Jeans father studied in Paris and when he returned to this coun- try he taught art classes in Chi- ego. I had gone there to study, and was one of his pupils. Per- haps we would never have been more than acquaintances If we had not attended an artists ball where fate or chance sent us together in an old-time circle two-step. We danced in perfect harmony and my heart as well as my soul took wings. Jean comes naturally by her love for dancing.
 After our marriage I continued to study art. but fin private. We were extremely happy and when little Jean was born 1t seemed life could hold no greater happiness. Jean was just learning to say Daddy and watch for him in the window at the close of day when he became i'll. It was pneumonia and he was gone within the week"
 Mrs Penncy's voice broke. Then she raised her chin in the manner Eve had noticed was characteristic of her and said calmly, This is no subject for q holiday, Mrs 1.a- der. Shall I turn on the radio?"
 
 It was twilight and the room was lighted only by the flicker ing glow from the fireplace. Eve, nesting among the pillows on the comfortable davenport, begged her to go on with her story.
 Mrs Penney continued. That is life, Mrs Rader. Sometimes we get our greatest 5olts when the skies seem brightest. But some- times, too, when 1t seems we can- not go on. things suddenly make q turn and the path is cleared ahead. Always there is

HOLDING HANDS

"I spent the month of August on farm, and found 1t fun to work in the garden. Now I am wonder ing what to do for my poor hands. They are rough. and freckled, and the nails arc badly broken."--M. F., Indiana.
 If only you had written to me first! It's such n simple matter to do garden work in gloves, and so save ourselves this period of re-. cuperation from summer careless ness.
 However, since you must pay the piper, do it quickly. Start today, to massage n pasteurized bleaching cream we'll into your hands--espe. cially around the knuckles and joints. Do 1t during the day If you can, and always at night. It Will help tighten the freeklos--but give them additional treatment with lomon juice or with freekie cream.
 Washing your hands, with a granular wash such as beauty grains, will help to whtten them too, and at the same time Will smooth away the roughness. For particular roughness around the cuticle, use powdered pumice, smoothing 1t on with your fingers. You can restore your nails to good condition by dipping the fngertips in hot olive oil each night before retiring.
 Next Lesson--Stlmulate!

saiiowness is often due to poor things--remove the cause and you probably get rid of the fault.
 In the first place, don't mistake 0 chronic case of sallowness for tan. Tan usually fades away as soon as you stop exposing your skin to hot sun. If, by the middle of the winter, you still look yellow ish and tanned, the chances are ten to one that your skin is dis colored and sallow.
 Aids Circulation.
 A strong bleaching ointment sleeves two purposes. It actually bleaches a discolored complexion and, if 1t Is tho right kind. warns the skin and stimulates circulation.
 Usually the bleaching ointment must be used in conjunction with other preparations. One particu- larly good ointment requires mus cle oil and c skin.food cream to be used with 1t.
 First you cream your face. Then smear the ointment on your neck, chin and forehead, avoiding the cheeks, lips and nose. which are too sensitive to withstand the ef. fects of e strong bleach.
 Leave the ointment on for about five minutes. Remove 1t with mus. food. Because the skin is warmed by the ointment, the skin food sinks right into the pores, doing no end of good. Always finish with . skin tonic.

IT Union SQUARE" by Albert
~ Halper, is being widely hailed
as a genuine proletarian novel 1t
is all of that, surely. And yet, it
is hardly book that will bring aid
and comfort to members of the
Communist party.
For it exposes as skillfully as any
book that has been printed the real
weakness of that party in America &;
the failure of its program and the
shortcomings of its leadership.
Mr. Halper tells about the inter
tWined lives of dozen or more
people who live near New York s
Union square. Most of them are
members of the proletariat, living
on the edge of poverty, brutally
beaten by the depression. Some OF
them ar eardent Communists.
Yet the Communists, as Mr.. Hal
per sees them. are not truly repre-
sentative of the workers. They are
for the most part dilettanteS, wish
full thinkers. pOSeurs, starveling wri-
terS who have attached themselves
TO the radical labor movement like
decorative but useless tails to a kite.
The real proletarians. in this
book, hardly know that the party
exists.
And when, at the end of the
book, there comes a great red riot
in the square. the one real casualty
IS sturdy 100-per-cent American
Stevedore. who recently lost his Job.
and who came to the open air mass
meeting on that day only out of idle
curiosity.
Union Square" is really a fine
book. Accurate observation and
deep feeling have gone into Its
writing. 1t is honest and devoid Of
cant.
Published by Viking, it sells for
$3.50. 1t is the March choice OF the
Literary Guild.

For three-quarters Of an hour
more the shopping continued. Janet
could scarcely remember how long
it had been since she had bought an
entire costume all at once. She
bought a little green hat that looked
like nothing at all until it was
perched on her head and then had
surprising jauntineSs
She bought two soft white blouseS
and a pair of black pumps and
hosiery and gloves. Then just be-
fore she left they showed her a green
and white printed frock that was
too much Of a bargain to pass by. 1t
looked we'll with the green hat, too

She felt pleasant elation as She
stepped out into the street fifteer
minutes later. Ridiculous TO put
on all her new finery the moment
after she'd bought it, and yet il
was fun.
She caught a glimpse of herself
in a show window mirror and The
color in her cheeks deepened. Oh
but it was fun to feel slim anC

Il just bought it. I've wanted to
see you, Mollie. HoW's everybody at

farther down the street and sat
down at one of the little tables
along the wall.
Well" Mollie wanted to know

There's the chauffeur" Janet
said. only he's not rich and not

The sun was shining behind the

thinking of Mollie. How wise Mollit
