the gardener-parent needs to guard against. He or, she, will have to take care that there own flower beds do not become more import ant than the children.
 It is rather selfish to use up all the available space for circles and triangles and rectangles of shrub bery and prize plants, put up 8 Keep Out" sign, and expect the children to play on the porch or in the street.
 r Not that the children need to romp in blocked-o of beds or to pull the sacred delphinium or fox glove certainly a parent has rights to his floral efforts-but if children begin to feel that flowers are their jailers or their untouchable ene- mics it is not so good,
 Lessons to Be Learned We children used to hate the ! dear old beautiful park near our house because every 50 feet there was a sign, Keep off the Grass just like that. If we ever stepped so much as six inches off the path We looked around in terror for g policeman. And sometimes he was right there to shake his stick. Don't be like that about the gar. den. Divide it up. Keep part but give the children part to play in and part to dig in. Let them dig and rake and hoe and plant, and then make d treaty. II keep out of your gardenfi if you keep out of minc."
 Anyway they will love their own flowers. And there arc excellent lessons to be learned, not only about the flowers themselves but that everything beautiful costs at- tention, time and labor.
 Even very little children can work in q garden patch. The mir acle of the seed provides endless opportunity for fun, exercise and a feeling of accomplishment.

of the children had never been to a dentist. The inspection showed that among the 40S second or per manent teeth required extraction. and that there was an average of 2 defective teeth per child. Adjoining Wentworth is a school district. Clark Township. that has maintained an active school dental clinic. The dental examination among Its school children revealed that there was only an average of 2.3 defective teeth per pupil. and only five permanent teeth requir- iHg extraction.
 What difference the compara- lively nominal expense has made! Tn Clark township, the school den- tist found it necessary to extract only 20 permanent teeth through out the years work. Since condi- tions are so similar in these locali- ties. the comparative figures are quite conclusive.
 The school dental clinic is a vital necessity in those locations that do not boast the presence of a dentist or in localities that have a large number of indigent families. It is one activity that should be rigidly maintained. and it is false economy to prune this item from the budget.

BEGIN HERE TODAY

I
 MONNIE O,DARE is secretly
 engaged t0 DAN CARDIGAN, heir to a local fortune. He does not want his parents 10 know of the engagement because they op. pose the marriage. M0nnie and Dan plan to elope in January when he will come into some money of his own.
 Dan Is jealous of CHARLES EUSTACE, handsome newcomer, who shows Monnie marked at- tention. BILL O'DARE is engag- ed to ANGIE GILLEN whose divorce is still pending. MRS O,DARE is much distressed be. cause of this situation.
 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER XXI
 Angie stammered, "Pleased to-, and then, thinking better of it, went on hurriedly, "Bill's told me lot about you."
 Mrs O'Dare said, "I'm glad he brought you. We've been want ing to meet you" She smiled to show she meant it and, in spite of the sinking of her heart, was glad to discover that Bill's girl was, as Kay had described her, HUI u Udu SOEbs II AAOk RAAehs sweater fitted the curves of her rounded figure a trifie too candidly, still the big eyes framed in mas- caraed lashes had likable hon. esty about them. All Belvedere = that is all that part of it which knew the O'Dares well enough to observe their comings and goings- would gossip that night about An- gie's call on Bills mother. What's the world coming to?" old ladies would ask, with upraised hands. "Time was when that sort of wo- man was shown the door,
 No, the trouble was, Mrs O'Dare reflected, that Angie wasn't what the old ladies meant when they said "that sort of wo- man." Angie was fundamentally good. She had been trapped by nature into an unwise marriage. . Now, at 21, she was struggling to get out of that trap. It was inju- dicious-surely nothing more = of her and Bill to have 'got en- gagged" as they naively put it. before Angles divorce was final. But then people did that kind of thing nowadays.
 The conversation languished. AHSlS duHllTcu tlc LcEAS h tAO hanging pots, admired the burst of phlox under the windows. Un- easily, under her chatter, she was observing Bills mother, wonder ing what was behind all this ap- parent simplicity and friendliness. Poor Angie, she wasn't much used to kindness! She was a bit suspi- cious of it.
 "I made some iced tea, Bill. You brin 1t in - and the cookies from the pantry" his mother com manded, conscious of her sons fdgeting attention.
 The quiet of Denny street on Sunday afternoon brooded over everything and when the two wo- men were alone together silence fell like a blanket on both.
 Mrs O'Dare broke it, Bill tells me you plan to be married as soon as--the divorce goes through"
 Angie stared at her, with just a hint of truculence. "Yes, that's what we were thinking"
 "When-when will that Ter" Mrs O'Dare could not quite keep a tremor of anxiety out of her tone.
 Angie stared at the curtains, fiut. tering in the breeze.
 we don't exactly know" she said, almost sullenly. "Stan is see- ing to things. He's got a lawyer in the city. He'll let me know"

 "I'm glad I'm so mad because if wasn't I would be so much more hurt" she said aloud. This way this way"--She was crying. try ing to stop the sobs with Q scrap of chiffon that became as useless as a piece of wet tissue paper ale most at once. She got up. crossed to the dresser. and found one of Harry's large linen handkerchiefs. She climbed back into bed.
 She had thought that she could-f mt sleep but her eyes began to- close. The cool air blew in from the windows. The tornado hadn't come. The storm had cleared. But the day had grown colder. A hint of something treacherous still hung in the sky. It was nice to be warm. she thought sleepily. Nice to be safe and sheltered-she caught her breath drowsily. She had almost added and loved." It was hard to believe that she wasn't loved any longer. But of course she wasn't. Harry was tired of her. Bob was just an excuse.
 The door was opening. She opened her eyes. Harry was there.
 "Oh-h-h." She was awake now. "I thought you were going to .. = She paused.
 i've been reading in the den. Going over some reports. Sorry to disturb you"
 "I thought you weren't coming"
 She turned over now. The world might be all wrong but at least Harry was there with her now. She could see him. There wasn't a closed door between them. To- morrow--But she wouldn't think of that. It was nice to be sleepy and safe

The other day I heard sermon about the Miracle of the Seed. And in 1t the minister said, "A fower you have grown yourself smells far sweeter than all the wonders of floral shop"
 If the amazement and pride that older people feel is so exciting when they see the first microscopic bit of green, how must a child feel when the dumb little bits of noth- ing he puts into the ground smile at him later as blue bachelor-but- tons, or pink petunias, or striped morning glories?
 Children that have no yards for gardens miss one of the best things in life. It is worse almost than having no space of their own to play in.
 Back Yards Have Changed
 Now back yards used to be a combination of sour packed earth, board piles, and barrels. At least city yards were. Such places are seldom seen to-day. It is due part ly to assiduous landscape garden CTS and nursery growers who have made the prices of seeds, plants, and shrubs so low we can scarcely afford not to buy them. But I be- lieve the propaganda that has done most good is that put out by the Garden Club of America. It has made the high and the low garden minded.
 Add to this the welfare gardens, vegetables of course, so popular these last three years. We are now even in our densest cities becoming not only garden, but agricultural and horticultural minded.
 It is grand thing for adults, but it is a grander thing for chill dren.
 However, there is one thing that

sr The Three-Q Quarter Ensemble Tops The Mode
s BESToW NEW CHARM ON AN OLD FAvORTTE
Jenny Creation Smart

The sleeves are three-uuartcr< too and raglan and the coat swings open in front. A yellow green stitched silk turban. black antelope bag, gloves and belt, complete thIs distinguished outfit.
 One of Jenny's contributions to the three-Quarters mode is of sheer chine wool with dark stripe rum ming through 1t. The dress has . high neckline tying in bow at the back. The coat is collarless and sleeveless, but is banded in match- ing grey fox. With this the man-' nequin wore a toque of curled os- trich feathers in delicate greys, q. Le Monnier creation, and a bag Of the same fabric as the ensemble.
 Heavy thread lace is a wise choice for the dress to be worn with three-quarters coat. Besides being an ideal formal summer af-. ternoon dress 1t can also do duty as an informal dinner dress.
 Chantal Sleeves Unique Chantal shows an attractive mod ell in natural colored thread which is almost tailored and belted with a soft brown leather belt. Over this is placed a loose three-quarter coat of matching lainage, the chief fea- ture of which is the sleeve treat- ment. These are cut out in the in- side from the armhole to the elbow to show the lace. There Is no collar to the coat.
 Helm shows an interesting treat- ment of the same idea in the form of a sleeveless, tunic-like affair caught up on each shoulder by a modernistic button. The coat is made of one of the new linen can- vas weaves in natural color worn over a beige crepe de chine dress. This coat is belted and a band of black lynx enhances the originality of this ensemble.
 Besides all the new "liqueur" coll ors such as green, yellow and pur- plish reds, which usually are used for the coat over a printed dress. beige, grege and grey are the fa- vored colors for afternoon en- sembles of the three-quarters per- suasion, fur-trimmed or not.

Corrinne, lounging in her room, pretending to read, listening for a key in the latch, step on the stair, caught her breath when she heard Harry coming down the hall. She was wearing her filmiest loveliest negligee and the lace and ribbons and tulle were arranged for effect. The slim golden mules, with their slender heels. matched the golden cushions that she had placed in back of her. The gipsy darkness of her eyes and hair grew alive with the aureole of gold to help them, she had pushed the rose colored cushions out of sight.
 All day she had been so turbu- lent and excited that she hadn't taken out the thought that Harry was tired of her, and eximend 1t. But during the evening, sitting a. lone. after the creamed sweet breads and head lettuce salad were eaten, she had thought. The fish was being kept until the next night She had made that concession to Harry's pleasure.
 | Harry's steps came up the hall l Now they were at her door. Bu they didn't pause. They went on She caught her breath. Wasn't he coming in? She glanced at his bed. Didn't he intend to sleep in it?
 She heard a door close.
 Well, if he didn't want to come of course he didn't have to! She snapped out the light. He would mt know that she was waiting for him. She kicked off the golden slippers and one spun like a glam- orous ball and landed in the mid dle of the other twin bed, and the other finished it's act on the window sill where 1t hung pre- cariously. Corrinne rescued both of them and put them by her bed. She let the negligee fall to the floor in shimmering, cobwebby

It's in the kitchen that the bride is put up on her mettle and must learn her spurs" so to speak and unless her equipment is ade- quate and suitable she will be hard pressed to achieve perfect results If the necessary tools are not al hand she will find it twice as diff ficult to serve meals that do her credit.
 This is true for the bride who will not do her own cooking as for the one who will. The kitchen is the workshop of every home and its efficiency is determined by its credit.
