CLAIRE JOHNSON HAS TROU-
 BILE WITH ARITHMETIC

MT. Johnson and l had @ game of chess last night and I took a terrible beating. Now we are even and it's up to me to take him over the next time. We played in the living room and the house was un- usually quiet. Mrs. Johnson had gone out earlier to meeting of the MothersClub and Bill was at scout rally. Robert and the baby were sound asleep and the girls were studying in their room. The log fro crackled merrily and both Mr. Johnson and l were settled in the most comfortable chairs in the house.
 Just as we were about to put up tho board for the night Claire ap- peared in the doorway and askel If she might talk to us about matter. She came in and stood fdgeting near her fathers chair. MT. Johnson assured her that if she was worried about anything he wanted to know what 1t was. Perhaps he could help. Its nothing you could help with" said Claire, I'm just tho dumbest girl in the class in arithmetic. My tea cher wants to see you. She says I shouldn't worry. because between you, you cGn help me, but don't think it's any usc.' And with that she burst into tears and begged to be taken out of school.
 MT. Johnson took her on his lap and comforted her for a few minutes, and when the tears were over he said very quietly, Tt will be q pleasure. to see Miss Palmer again, Claire. The first time we met was when Bill was in the first grade. He was having some trouble with arithmetic too" Claire seemed surprised at this news and pride that Bill came out second in arithmetic when he graduated from grammar school. MT. John- son explained that he and Bill had talked 1t over with Mss Palmer at tho first sign of trouble. They found out what the difficulty was. and every night he and Bill spent i've or ten minutes going over anything which bothered Bill and reviewing one or two past lessons. while Miss Palmer gave him spec lal help in school. By the time Bill wont into the third grade he was an A number. one scholar. We enjoyed working together too" said MT. Johnson. "just as you and I will, Claire. after we've talked 1t over with Miss Palmer"
 Claire was obviously relieved and think shc is looking forward to tho nightly lessons. She is m ann bilious chilr and the fact that she finds arithmetic difficult has had bad effect on her nerves. AL though she Is in perfect physical condition, worrying and breeding would soon prove hurtful to her health. Mr. Johnson was wise to tell Claire about Bill and to speak

they weren't engaged. Still, they were very friendly. There were rumors and no ono would be greatly surprised to hear of an en- gagement.
 And then as Mona trailed her lovely, luxurious way out. Dick once more sought out Sheila. Half dozen youths had been do- In gtheir best to entertain her. It was pleasant to see Dicks smiling face once more, still more pleas ant to see the youthful swains dis solve at his approach as though they considered themselves inter- lopers.
 Two girls looked after him in mock annoyance.
 "Those are Trevor's cousins years younger than they look. if that is possible" Dick explained. "They are boarding school girls, but wouldn't you think them just out of the chorus? Though you never can tell these days"
 Instantly he bit his lip--stopped short and flushed painfully. "Oh, gosh, what q thing to say. I didn't mean that. Really"
 T am not 0 chorus girl" Sheila said coldly, her eyes half lowered.
 "sheila. please"
 The agony in her voice was ob- vious. If she had felt any hurt or any retaliating desire to hurt, 1t faded.
 "I know what you meant" she said, trying to laugh but flushing, too. Those girls, of course, arc from good families but they do look cheap and common in such low cut dresses. And they're wearing too much makeup.
 "No chorus girl would attend q party looking like that" she went on, trying to hide her discompo- sure. They wouldn't dare! Stage women--Tm q stage woman, Dick, in case you are interested as to how l catalog myself--have to be 50 careful to live down the repu- tation that's been given to them. Whenever q newspaper prints any scandal, if the girl has ever been connected with the stage fin any way the headlines shriek the words chorus girl or actress.
 As 0 matter of fact many stage women leave off makeup entirely on the street or at parties. We have to be extremely careful In our dress. our behavior. our con

 Spending a weekend at Palm Springs and strolling about the Fl Mirador hotel grounds, Nancy Carroll wore a dress-maker suit of cinna- mon brown worsted,. with the cutest little gilet of white close ribbed pique, all button ing slantwise to the left side. Her fringed scarf was a gay orange.

 Corrinne Becker hesitated c sec- ond before she answered buc'B question. Then she said, 'T used to watch Harry's father when noe body knew that was watching him. Of course knew that he had adored Harry's mother, just about cracked up when she died, and then liked Nancy immensely and married her because she was scintillating, charming, amusing you know the line--sophisticated adjectives.
 "But I think he began to love her. She didn't know it, though. Then Arnold Page returned, the old romance hared up again, her husband sensed it--and so he went haywire. It's worse when men of responsibility do 1t. Much worse! older men, at that. This infant whoever the girl was--probably was just an excuse. I think he cultivated her so he could have a chance to give Nancy her freedom. He wrote the minx check. and let her go. Harry told me-"
 Wrote her a check?" Sue fe- peated. "Then she thought she had a right to demand it?"
 "No, it's one of the cases, my dear, where the lady didn't have claim. He liked to pretend that he had made love to her when he hadp't. Just be an actress In line only. And she did"
 Sue nodded. 'I remember how he came home to lunch unexect- edly on Nancy's birthday. Arnold Page and I were there. He didn't give her her gift. l found the jewels thrown on the floor. won- dered then. But, you are sure Nancy and Arnold are going to be married?"
 "of course. Why shouldn't they be. They love each other"
 Nancy has told your"
 Goodness, no. Pm her former husbands daughter-in-law even if I am q friend of hers. And I'm sticking to Nancy all right. She's alive. Lots of women merely think they are. And she's honest. She isn't afraid to take what she knows she should have. That's why I'm banking on her" Cor rinne closed her red lips firmly.
 But even a fearless woman has to wait until man makes a move ment--and 1 gathered that Arnold Page wasn't making any. Grace said that Nancy was all upset and didn't understand because sh" happened to drive out to her house with him ono night few months ago. Of course Nancy knows now that 1t meant nothing. But Ar mold was overly chivalrous and would not explain. He's been steering clear"

She had been framing sentences in order to keep her mind away from the room where Jack lay, hurt and suf- | fering.

me. was just warming up to my subject. Do you remember Alice Grady, the screen actress? She used to listen when the office boys or stenographers got together at the studio and when they made any criticisms of her work she could consider the change their conversation suggested. She said they formed q part of her audi ence and they counted. She would drive around to half a dozen thea ters some nights to try to find out what people really thought of her acting. She spent days - literally Idays-correcting the way she walked because she heard two women call 1t 'dreadfup."
 Suddenly sheila's mood changed. She looked up smiling. And now. brtehern. here endeth the first les- son!"
 "I'm sorry. honey. didn't know. Do forgive me-" Dick whis- pered.
 Sheila turned dancing eyes upon him. MT Stanley, since am a stage woman and not so- ciety girl, don't you think Miss Shayne would be better, for the first "A hours at least?" May I choose what call you low, meaningful.
 T shall still be stage wom- an.
 You needn't be-always." Sheila's eye narrowed slightly, but she shrugged her shoulders and smiled. You work rather fast, don't you?" T have to. I'm not the only man in the world with excellent taste"
 Don't you mean perfect taste ?" He bowed, amused. "I mean that. of course"
 "Well see what you mean" The party was nearing close. Trevor's cousins, wearing an amazing amount of ermine and with callow escorts, left giggling and gleeful. They were going to some club, they said. Blind Timmy had disappeared. "rll take you home, of course," Dick said as Sheila looked about her. However, I've a few more duties as host. Can you waltz"
 Presently the last of the laugh ing crowd had departed and Sheila and Dick made their way to his car. Think over what I've said," Dick told her as he drew the road ster up before her door. You're going to let mo see you some times, aren't you?" "Of course.'

bogies about anything increasing the amount of hair growth have been killed in the light of years of experience. It's not only safe to remove such growth, but sane!
 When it comes to superlluous hair on tho upper lip, that's q dif- ferent matter. If you have just a couple of hairs, you can take them out with tweezers yourself. Of course 1t takes q little dash of courage to pluck them out. But many women do it. If you have any perceptible growth, 1t is safer to have an expert use an electric needle on 1t. This, however, Is not cheap thing to have done. Prices vary in different cities but 1t is foolish not to go to an expert for it. wherever you are.

FISH SOUPS AND BROTHS ARE

By SISTER MARY NEA Service Writer

Women who live near the sea coast and are versed fin the ways of varying fish, dishes make de- licious and nourishing soups from fish. Many of these connections are little known inland, for with tho exception of oyster stew, fish Is seldom used as basis for soups and broths.
 Clam broth is easily digested and often appears on the invalid tray. It also makes an excellent first course for the mld-season dinner. There arc many excellent brands of canned clam broth on the market and the busy home maker will find them a valuable time saver. one tablespoon lem on juice added to the broth just before relocating improves the flavor for many persons. ono tu- blespoon slightly salted whipped cream Is often served on each cup of broth. A poached egg dropped on each cup of broth turns it into a hearty luncheon dish for Il cold day. A combination of clam and tomato makes q delicious rich bis quo to serve for luncheon.
 Clam chowder Is another nour- ishing dish that can be prepared In the homo kitchen or purchased in cans. Fish chowders are almost meal in themselves. and com pare favorably with U meat stew in nourishment.
 Scallops will be liked in clear broth. chowder or cream soup. Cooked in this way, they arc suit able for quite small children.
 Scallop broth is a dellcately ht- vored soup which gains nourish- ment by the addition of milk. Cream of scallop soup Is made en- tirely with milk and is very nour- ishing.
