EV'l'!; EV7'l;'''!o|;UR U'R CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts DsrtoA . Sssss sET2S 3isyszi. s9<'

I
 Little children are charming Charm schools are doing nothing more than trying to restore tho unconscious grace and naivete that most of us have lost between the ages of four and fourteen, plus ' But the charm we have to have taught us in later years is more or less e spurious article. It is mere- | ly top varnlsh.
 How much better is would have been had we been encouraged through childhood to keep those graces that were ours by right.
 After e child learns to do battle, to stand up for his rights and over. eveiop his instinct for self protection, usually 1t is all cff.
 Too Many Restrictions
 Take any child who not only has to. elbow his way with his school. mAtes, but has . Job on his hands nt home with hls or her parents, and how much time has he for pleasantness and kindness and real manners? v
 Everywhere he turns 1t seems he is confronted with a"Don't" or some order or other that affronts every spontaneous urge in his sys- tenn. We call 1t civilising him. Of course we have to do It, to pre- pare him for, social life. He can't grow up and be q savage.
 Nevertheless, 1t Is true that our overly artificial system with chil- drcn docs destroy Aa well as build. If we older people had to conform 10 as many conventions foreign to out natures as childrcn do, it would sap all the sweetness out of US. Wc would live in perpetual state of ehafing and resentment. We would shout, ITO heck with charm. have enough to remcm- Dor without trying to be . sugar
 There ia another thing that ruins tho little child's charm early. This Is the example Of older poo- Which of us would think 1t worth while to Do pleasant in 6 menagerio? And some homes arc Just about that---tho various mem. bers of tho family growing and snarling at each other all day long ilko so many animals. Almost any animal has his counterpart in the human. The Hon who roars his tiger, tho laughing hyena whom rights, tho dangerously cunning we fear more even than tho oth. ors, Tho numbering bear with the thick hide stolidiy indifferent to anyone but itself. The blcating shcop that can't stand ID for itself and who manages, as it has done through history, to got everybody else Into c tight place.
 Cultivating "Charm"
 A child loses sweetness In Q housch that has forgotten tho word. To tell him to mind his manners and behave nicely Is Just 50 much lost breath.
 A boy can tip his hat until his arm aches, but this isn't charm. Charm has to Do in his heart. A girl can courtesy and whistle up smile for effect. but this isn't charm fl thcre are hundred hates in her soul. Tho boy and the girl have to like people; they must feel that the world is c decent place, not something to fight. And they must feel that they count with other people just as other people count with them.
 No one wants q srinning nit.wit around muttcring to himself, "t must Do charming" oHaven for. bidi But wc do need moro genuine iikabic boys and girls who think this world is . good place and show it.
 Then watch rudeness vanish and natural manners grow,

succeed him. Although his temper often made him disagroeable she had to credit Barnes with being fair on tho whole. And 1t was chara cteristic of his generosity tha; he dld not seem to resent Evef position but was actually prepar. ing hor to take his place by giving her moro work and new responst- bilitios as rapidly as she could take them.
 Arlene mentioned the possibility more than once and seemed gen. uninely glad for Eve. That tho same thought must have occurred to Mona and that Mona would stop at nothing to prevent Eyes pro. motion. Eve was equally sure. She did not mention this to Dick. So far as possible sho tried to keep from him tho irritating things that came up in hcr days work.
 A day came, however. when Eve approached her work with lack oi enthusiasm. Her special column after the first flow weeks. had be- come more q burden than q pleas. ure. This was partly because tho novelty had worn off and partly Dc. cause her inerenxcd duties and re. responsibilities loft her less time foi the column.
 "T haven't q single idea thif morning." she admitted 10 her. self and then found her entire outlook changed by q note on her desk. Barnes had taken m early m morning train and would be absent for two days. leaving Eve responsi. bio fo rtho advertising department during that time.
 "Ie didn't take me into his con. fldencf," Arlene said. "so I don't know where his highness has gone

either, but I hope he'll lose last weeks grouch while he's away
 Eve.s spirits lifted and she went about her duties with new interest. After the early morning routine was dispatched she went to look at some rugs that had just come in. The buyer was busy when she appeared and referred her to one of tho salesmen. :.
 George Bliss can tell you all about them. think he even knows more about rugs than any. one else in Lake City. He's read everything that's been written abtu them. think he even dreams about rugs when he's asleep!"
 Bliss smiled. "Yes, I'm interested ] in rugs" he admitted. "Why not? There's q lot to know about them and it's Q fascinating subject. Forty years ago my father was rug buyer for Bixby's and every year he went abroad and selected q years supply.
 "That was before I was born but some of the most thrilling hours I've ever spent were when he told me about his trips to the Near East and China. To me those stories rivailed the Arabian Nights
 "I guess it's true that l dream about rugs. I used to dream Of bazaars and caravans when was child and I made up my mind to be a rug buyer when l grew up. I kept that ambition in college and took every course offered dealing in any way with the countries that produce oriental rugs. And the fel- lows who laughed at me would be surprised to know how much of my college expenses were paid from the sale of gifts my father brought my mother from those trips"
 Eve felt new respect for George Bliss after that talk. She had learned dozens of interesting things about the rugs she was to describe. After she returned othe advertis- ing office she sat down at her desk and tried to put into words some of the enthusiasm with which George Bliss had invested the sub ject of rugs.
 So absorbed was she that she for got everything else and was brought back to routine matters with a guilty start when she heard someone enter the ofiice.

Paris Styles
BY MARY KNIGHT

V
 Paris, (UP)-Whether you knew 1t Or not (not to mention whether you cared) the mode has been vic- torian for three years. Among those who haven't liked 1t q bit but have more or less catered to 1t regardless, is that smart Italian lady, Elsa Schiaparelif.
 With this in mind she got busy months ago and had a whole set of new fabrics made up for her. She says none of them are 'sensationai" but the Italian definition of that word evidently doesn't mean what the American dictionary says because there is scarcely a single one of her 1884 materials that isn't . positive torpedo. She's got . lot of new crinkiy things that look SO much like the bark of trees that you feel like you're going to sprout leaves or acorns or something just looking at it. She's even gone out and brought home the blaclsheep.. borrowed part of his hide and concocted . new scatch tweed out of it thereby making it the first time that the wool of biacksheep has been utilized for such c nurposei

 Handsome THERON REECE has been forcing his attentions on Eve. She and Dick attend the wedding of MARYA VLAD, fnsh- ion artist at Bixby's. Later that night Eve receives telephone call from the Times. Copy for Bixby's advertisement is missing and Eve and Dick leave immc- diately for the office.
 CHAPTER XIV
 With Dicks help Eve got tn, copy for the Tuesday advertise ment to the Times office before tn, deadline, but the excitement gave her Q nervous headache. Instead of being sympathetic Dick was plainly irritated by the affair, res garding 1t as another encroach- ment of office duties on his wife's leisure and home responsibilities.
 Nor was he properly sympathetic wretched, refused to remain a' home in bed.
 Don't you see," she urged "how especially necessary 1t is for me to be at my desk today In case Mir Bixby finds out that had to call the night watchman to let me into the office last night? It would look as though I were afraid to face the consequences of my care. lessness."
 Dick did not answer. He left the apartment, shutting the door be- hind him with unnecessary empha- ais.
 Arrived at the office, Eve was still unable to account for the fact that she had found the copy for the Times advertisement under meath the blotter on her desk the night before.
 T have it!" exclaimed Arlene after puzzling over the mystery. "Mona Allen!"
 But why should she do q thing like that?" asked Eve
 Because you ana l had time off to go to Marya's wedding and she had to stay here and work"
 "Oh, I'd hate to think anyone could be like that" Eve protested.
 "Have 1t your own way then" declared Arlene, "but I've got that girls number! Let's not say any thing about 1t to her but be darned careful what we let her get away with in the future. She's out guessing us all tho time"
 1T could annihilate the person who caused all that trouble last night" said Eve. ''Dlck was fur ious about 1t and I was almost scared to death for fear we wouldn't get to the Times office iust under the wire--wlth no sec in time. As it happened, we were onds to spare. What Q night!"
 Arlene returned to her type writer when Mona Allen entered and there was no sound except the rapid clicking of keys until Mona left on a nerrand to some other de- partment. Then Arlene looked at Eve.
