Two parents sat on the porch watching a game of tag.
 The children were pretty much of an age, all except little Peter next door. He was younger than the rest and besides he had had a sick spell in the spring that had affected his legs.
 He was always being tagged. He was 'it" most of the time.
 Their own boy and girl were among the best runners. They hadn't been tagged yet.
 | never saw anybody that could go like our Greta," said her But he's good, too"
 Suddenly something had hap pened. Greta was tagged. Peter
 "Hoh!" jibed Peter's brother. You let that little slow-poke catch you"
 ''oh, she's just a girl" shouted another boy. Come on, try and catch me. Greta."
 Catching Up
 Greta caught him although poor Peter was right in her path.
 But Peter was soon the goat again. He ran breathlessly after each flying young body but each time they lodged. He was getting very tired.
 And then something else hap pened. He caught Dan.
 Say, whats the matter with you?" cried one of the girls. I be- lieve you're just getting caught on purpose. It's no fun if you're going to play that way"
 T think so, too." said Peters brother. You stay out, kid"
 No, he's not" Dan told him. Peters good. He can run like very thing. Can't you, Peter"
 Sure, bragged the little fellow, "1m all well. I've caught two people,"
 Come on." cried Greta. "stop fussing."
 Kindness in Children
 The game was on again. But this time it was his own brother Peter caught.
 One by on eeach child took a turn. Peter was very happy. Some unspoken influence was at work. Every child in the crowd had sens- ed what the two champions had done.
 Children are kind, aren't they?" said the mother of Greta and Dan proudly.
 If 1t suits them. They can be mean little devils, too," answered her husband. Tt depends on the start they get"
 T don't think so. They are just shy about being kind. Boys are afraid other people will think they are sissies. Don't speak of 1t to them when they come in.'
 Children are capable of great kindnesses. The example of one child will go far.

CLAIRE CHEATS AT CRooUET.

CLAIRE CHEATS AT CROQUET.
 As usual spent last Saturday afternoon with the Johnsons. It was a hot, lazy kind of day. Bill Johnson was out swimming but the rest of the family had chosen to stay home. So Robert and Baby John were disporting themselves in the sand pile, Mary and Claire were playing a game of croquet, and MT and Mrs Johnson and my self were taking 1t easy on the back veranda.
 watch the progress of the croquet. It was obvious from the first that Claire had no chance against Mary. Time after time she would succeed in getting ball into po- sition in front of the hoop only to have 1t sent flying into Q distant certainly infuriating, and know ing Claire's natural impatience I was prepared to see her any min ute thrown down her mallet and refuse to finish the game. But I was not prepared for what actually happened. Mary was at one end of the lawn and Claire at the other. Claire hit her ball so that 1t went half way through a hoop. and while Mary was preparing to make a stroke Claire ran up to her own ball and, giancing behind her to zee if Mary was looking, kicked 1t gently so that 1t rolled clear. I'm through the hoop!" she cried. Wait. Mary, I've got another .,t.@ hnI rNt,, ming down towards Mary's.
 glanced at MT and Mrs Johnson to see If they had noticed. They had. MT Johnson was frowniny of her chair and the look n her wait a minute. Mary" said: what are yoy going to do" Dol! exclaimed Mrs Johnson. "why. you seo>her deliberately cheat? Y saw her." I replied. Out how are you going to punish herr" "stop the game and tell Claire that she can't play uless she plays fair. The idea of her doing such a thing!" :.
 'Stop the game by all means, agreed, but I wouldn't punish Claire this time--espccially while you're so angry with her"
 At this point MT Johnson broke in. "It's time they both got ready for swimming" he said. and at his suggestion both girls put away their croquet things and went into the house while we waited for them on the porch.
 Mrs Johnson had not liked my checking her. I'm afraid. and she sat rather silent, but MT Johnson

Marcei HOchns introduces an en- tircIy new kind of fur treatment on sleeves of afternoon coats. as shown at left. At right, a choir. boy surplicc of transparent mOusscline, with light touches of silvcry embroidery at tho helm, placed over slinky, black sheath dress, achieves an entirely new note of Individuality.
 Formal evening gowns in the in- imitable Lanvin style are fashion ed of taffetas. velvet or crepe. They have trains and one or sev- eral deep and very full fiounces at the hem. Deep twin fiounces out line the armholes in cartwheel ef- of the decollete.
 There are a few luxuriously fur trimmed evening capes but the newer style is the seven7eighths saque wrap in black velvet or cloth or silver, cut very full all around.
 Nearly all Lanvin's town ensem- bles are of the skirt and jumper variety, completed by hip- length jacket or a long coat. The udNo OooHoVS otu are belted and are usually in some vivid color with frequent appli- cations of lame. Sports coats arc full and have important collars in fur or fabric, pockets and equally important sleeves. Skirts are cir cular or pleated, with the length unchanged for informal wear. Afternoon ensembles have an- L1n 1An nlnfa6 hV fur capes which look rather like the school cape little French boys wear, with fullness at the neck stimulating hood. These arc made of grey astrakhan, broad. tail, or of the same fabric as the dress, fur trimmed, and reach well below the hips at the back. Fur trimmings are centered at the shoulder tops and there Is an extensive use of buttons and the metal beading as decorative me- dium. Coral, orange, olive and a hard green and brown are used for daytime clothes, with black re- lievcd by vivid touches of color for formal wear.

 Patou's contribution to fall l styles created quite stir in fasllf | ion circles. While his day clothes are simple, Parisian and essential
 ly youthful, his evening dresses offer a totally new line. Fullness, in the shape of panels softly gath cred or pleated, Is massed at the back, leaving the front perfectly plain and outlining the shape of the legs. Pert little upstanding basques outline the hips in a down. at-the-back movement on some models. Bows are modernized and discreet hustle effects are placed at the back of the waistline to add in- terest. Decolletes are mostly on the rather wide twin-strap theme with generous expanse of back showing, or they have no backs at all. These new gowns must be worn over long and fitted, but supple girdle garment which mod els tho figure without binding 1t in any way. The result is a line where ease of movement Is allied to q very feminine and sensuous sil- houette.
 Huge bows of velvet brocaded taffetas in gay tartan or stripes trim the high necks of many of Patou's daytime clothes and there are some moderate fur basques. His new ''wild huckleberry," which has all the advantages of black, but more depth and lunin- osity, is used in a number of in- teresting combinations In his day. time ensembles, the new color
 figuring as dress and lining to black. grey and grege coats. Tho smart little afternoon dress for which Patou is noted are sober in

Fantasy Prevails In Chic Paris Fashions
Eur Trimmed Sleeves And Choirboy Surpice Strike
By RosETTE HARGROvE (HEA Service WriteRl

Paris.-Most of the interest in the winter collections centerB jn evening clothes. If a woman 10 not original in her choice and does not wear gowns that express her indi- viduality, then she Is certainly lacking in dress sense. Never be- fore have there been 50 many styles to choose from.
 If you are tall and slim you can slip into a sirens sheath that hugs the throat modestly fin front but Is dIsconcertingly denuded in the back and completed by just a sus- piclon of a pointed train. Or you can lose your heart to a gown of Greek persuasion which falls into classical folds about the feet. Or again, you can assume 6 quaint little old fashioned air with one of those models with dropped shoulders, hustle, frillg and pOsy of flowers, completed or not by a cameo.
 Another thing, women will have to watch their waists more than ever if they want to wear the new clothes with the proper flourish. While the basque, which Paris has decreed as going to be one of the features of daytime clothes, does make the waist look inches smaller, still not the slightest suspicion of excess flesh in that region can get by. It is going to be the winter of the woman with the trim figure. She will have to cultivate a straight back and hold her head high in the approved manner of the "nineties" in order to wear the bodices buttoning from throat to hem, the umbrella or straightly slim skirts and the basque. They are sufficiently mod ernized, however, to convey a free and easy grace that our mothers lacked.
 Marcel Rochas introduces choir boy surplices in pleated gauge or silver pailcttes on black tulle which, with the wide, bouffant sleeves. offer an unusual addition to the dinner dress. There are some fur-hemmed, pointed capes to accompany the formal evening gowns and amusing little fitted jackets in striped velvet or lame.
 {:
 The princess line Is stressed in Lanvin's collection, but more so in evening than in day dresses. Scarfs lend them classical look, espe- cial1y in the models where they are knotted at the back of the decollete and wound around the head in some ingenious manner. Silver lame and a very effective gold and silver bead embroidery on heavy tuue appear in the guise of berthas, dropped sleeves. point ed pockets and on the long sash es which Lanvin ties around the waist of her semi-formal dinner gowns.
 This gold and silver bead trim ming is used frequently on slim black afternoon models, as well as silver lame for boleros or straight jackets, with or without sleeves.

took up the cudgels for her. We've got to squash this cheating idea, Doctor" he said. I think so too." replied, "but the best way to do 1t is to remove the cause "How?" asked Mrs Johnson. Well, it's like this," went on; there's nearly five years difference be- tween Mary and Claire, and in a game of skill like croquet Claire can't hope to compete with Mary on equal terms. And you know Claire likes to win--or at least to have fair chance of winning" Then shall we stop the croquet 2" suggested Mir Johnson. Not if they both enjoy it," I said, "but it would be better If Mary gave Claire a sizable handicap. You could explain that that was done in most games in order to even things up and give everybody a fair chance" "Then you would sug- gest ignoring this incident com- pletely, Doctor?" asked Mir John- son. ''No. think Claire ought to know that she was seen. Explain to her that you are sorry she lost control of herself and that people do not try to win by doing some- thing underhand. Explain the handicap idea to her as Q much better method. It might be better to let Claire concentrate on games in which she can hold her own and leave the croquet until she has acquired more physical and emotional control"
 Mrs Johnson smiled, 50 knew l was forgotten. "Well try both suggestions If the first one doesn't work" she said, and then she sighed. But I didn't think Claire had 1t in her to be dishonest" :" "Claire is no more dishonest than any child of her age." replied. "You forget that honesty Is some- thing that everybody has to learn; 1t isn't instinctive like eating and drinking. But be patient and give Claire a good example and fair chance and she'll be all right. nev- CT fair"

PARIS STYLE HINTS

| In Paris just now-navy to the pal est baby blue in footwear will be good for quite awhile yet. Either navy blue and brown kid shoes and bag are again to be worn with the navy ensemble, but white kid san- dals are smartest this year with the paler blue summer gowns.
 As if in defiance of Hollywood's attempt to shear her of her fem mine fneries, the Parisienne Is a riot of frills and furbelows. We have seen organdie ruffles and ru- ches, the most flowery of chiffon gowns and the coolest of beige sandals, feather boas and brace lets of flowers, gloves with the most fancy of cuffs and hats of complete transparence and com plete femininity.
 And here'e a hint for winter. Gray-so popular all this spring and summer-will go on into fall deepening into almost q gunmetal for town use and remaining putty and dove toned for informal af- ternoon functions and being "at home" for tea or cocktails.

 Her evening line is distinctly of the Lady Lou' type. Chanel uses a great deal of silver and gold tissue and combines 1t with organ die. One model, of gold cloth. has four superimposed founces or or- gandie pipcd with the gold. The armholes alos were outlined with organdie flounces. Black lace fashions dress with . moderniz- ed crinoline skirt.
 Hats accompany all of Chanel's models and complement her en- sembles. They are all small and pcrched straight on the head, forming straight line across the brow. Wings, aigrettes, paradise and ospreys trims the seventy models she shows, which are made of felt. cloth. silk and surah. while several are fashioned of the whole body of the bird, complete with head

line and where he uses the "wild blackberry" there are clever con- trasts of dull and shiny fabrics. Tunic skirts, slightly circular, but this at the back only, contribute an entirely new silhouette. Skirts are of medium length for day wear and the waistline Is normal, as in most other houses.
 
 Channels collection offers no great change of line but. on the other hand, a great luxuriousness in fabrics (nearly all her own) and wealth of triming. Many of her day coats have boleros and sleeves of fur to which Is attached a reasonably fiared skirt of cloth or velvet. Blouses play star part in her for nal and informal suits, with the former they are often of heavy white satin, brocade or lame and with the latter in fancy velvets of the plaid, striped, checked or for al variety. There are number of little jersey suits with fared skirts, practical sports ensembles

Schiaparelli tossed the fish to the seals last season and is now will ing to let them fight it out. She had her fun with crazy shoulder treatments. and in her brand new August Collection placidly tells the world she no longer believes in sharp shoulder accents. I think that's rather considerate of Elsa. The job she did was neat, but by the time our cheap manufacturers mimicked her at long range, it was a horse of a different ilk. Woman hood has resembled the lunch counter quite long enough, and it's thum bs- down for the tray shoul- ders now.

Rough artificial silks and artificial satins high-spot the fabrics she uses.

Careful Nursing Is Important
 In Cases of Typhoid Fever
Drugs Cannot Cure Malady, Though Vaccine May
 Prevent It.

there would have been approxi- mately a million cases.
 It is customery to give three in- jections of the vaccine at 10-day intervals. although the intervals between injections may be short ened. Obviously, such vaccines should be given by a physician or a trained nurse. Only rarely indeed are there reactions of a serious character.
 It is probable that persistent att tention to water supplies and dis posal of sewage, presentation of milk, education of the public in hygiene. and the control of typhoid carriers will eventually eliminate typhoid fever entirely throughout the civilized world.

 By DIR MORRIS FISHBEIN (Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association, and of
 Hygcia, the Health Magazine)
 A person who has typhoid fever must be kept alone and preferably cared for by an experienced nurse. The room should be screened If the illness occurs during the summer when flies are common.
 Because the person with typhoid is likely to remain long in bed he should have firm mattress, and arrangements must be made to change the bed linen any time 1t is soiled. The patient must be bathed at least once a day and kept clean in order to prevent secondary in- fections.
 It is also important that the mouth be rinsed each time after food is taken.
 There was a time when it was | thought advisable to starve ty- | phoid patients. It is now known that the condition is so serious as to break down the nutrition of the patient, so that present methods involve the giving of diet of from 5000 to $500 calorics. Then the patient will not lose weight during the course of the illness. There are no drugs that have special virtues In typhoid fever, and 1t is not cer- tainly established that typhoid fever' vaccine is useful in treat ment.
 It Is well established, however, that a vaccine made of the killed germs of typhoid fever is of value in preventing typhoid fever. This was proved during the World war. In the entire American army there were only slightly over 1000 cases of typhoid fever among 5,000,000 troops. If the rate for typhoid which prevailed during the Span- ish-American war had existed

 Sarah Lou didn't. Her eyes and the set of her mouth both said 60 plainly. But she didn't make the assertion verbally.
 "Want to come with us?" Ted echoed Sarah's words. Sarah Lou glanced at Jack. She glanced al Sue. Neither one spoke.
 "No, I don't want to-" she said then, slowly. "I want to know what Kenneth Corbett wants and I'd like to stay to find out. But nobody's begging me to so there's nothing to do but leave. And you know you don't really want me to go, Sarah. Neither of you do. You are being polite, too, to get me out of the way"
 Her voice wasn't angry. Her eyes weren't burning. They were soft and warm and tears were near the surface.
 Immediately four contrite voices began to beg her to play in their back yards. But she shook her head. I'm going to movie alone"
 And she went. Went before Ted and Sarah left. Jack opened the door for Ken meth Corbett. If he noted the sur prise in Corbetts face he didn't show it. After all, Corbett was a friend of his and one of the best clients of his law firm. Mind if I have a conference with your wife?" the man asked.

GLORIFYING
 YOURSELF

4I9S$HS, 1sA ,! :; s 2 sz!sE T ny. !ss

A graceful walk is valuable asset to any woman.
 Designers and manufacturers Of women's fashions know that their clothes look best on girls who stand and walk correctly. That's why they choose models who walk with a.frce. easy stride.
 N First of all, don't slouch. stand up straight. But standing erect doesn't moan to stiffen your fig- ure. The graceful figure is always relaxed.
 Keep your chin up and in. But not pulled in so far that your throat doesn't have smooth graceful line.
 Walk on the balls of your feet Thro wing weight on either toes or heels will make your walk unnat- ural and eventually ruin the shape of your legs.
 If you wear heels that are not too high, your walk will be much more graceful. Mincing steps come, very often, from wearins high heels that are too high. Save your hgih heels for dancing. She that your shoes are large enough and that they fit.
