Engineers get the jump on soosebone prophets and trappers in their weather pro- pheces for the winter. These scientific gentlemen representing Chicago gas com pany, say the winter is going to be colder than the last one though not very severe. Just how they arrive at this conclusion is not revealed. But they might do it either from averages or cycles. The last three winters have been mild, and weather often seems to run in cycles of about seven years. SO colder looks like a pretty good guess. In line with the cycle theory, they suggest colder winters from now on until l937

The new dining room was more than Q dining room. 1t was night club, an immature one, of course, which had never been close enough to Broadway to learn the charms that dazzled. But somebody had gone to Harlem and brought back the rhythmic syncopation that passed for passion.
 Sue and Jack slightly amused, a little bored, followed Sarah Lou as she smiled at one or two people she knew and piloted her guests to a table.
 "It's nice," she said childishly. "I've been here before. You two don't go any place any more. Why don't you go out and laugh more?" They laughed then, both of them. Jack with 0 minor chuckle that held the same amusement as the with low ripple that was swept with silver bells--bells that ring for recess and sleigh rides and half past three when school is out.
 "We do laugh" Jack said. Lots. You aren't around to hear this laughter. Sorry, Sarah Lou. it's nice of you to be a hostess but after all this isn't our speed any more. We're getting settled"
 Not with your charm, honey" Sarah Lou flashed back. You oughtn't to keep yourself hidden. You owe 1t to the world-the ladies of the world-to be in evidence. You know, to tell them that you like their eyes and their gowns and the widows peaks in their hair"
 Not my game now" Jack an. swered, and smiled into Sues dark blue eyes. "What shall we eat?"
 Let me order. Please" Sarah Lou begged, and her eyes danced because she had money to spend.
 The menu she ordered was proof that she wanted to be extravagant. She hadn't been for a long time. Sxe loved to look down the menu card and not pay any attention to the right hand column of figures.
 Blue points to begin?" she asked. Good! Three orders. And lots of celery and olives. Then Il thick cream soup and melba toast and after that-filet mignon? And with it creamed asparagus and new peas and hearts of lettuce sal- ad and"

 "Well, it's like this he went on. Years before I met you heard of an inventor who had . patent on the greatest little en- zine in the world. His friends had backed him with their money and his friends friends did likewise. 1 put up all l could spare at the time. Each week he held q meet ing to report the progress of the enterprise. Our faith In the man and his engine grew and as time went on we put in more and more money. It would probably be hard for you to realize the enormous amount of money it takes to bring an invention like this from the dream stage into actual operation. the red tape involved, the 'disap. pointments and. setbacks."
 Dick blew filmy wreath of smoke and then continued:
 But when man is honest and you back him with your last dol lar you cant feel too badly if all IS lost. You feel sure that he did all he could, anyway. That's how felt about this. But didn't want to build up your hopes in case the thing should fail.
 "Down there in the shadows of an old machine shop near the lake front in the factory district of Lake City week by week We watched the enterprise. And now. Eve, l believe nothing can stop 1t. It may take a couple of years more but when we take the lid off that business the world will sit up and take notice.
 When that time comes, Eve, won't have to move on from place to place, wherever I'm sent, won't have to work at all if I'd rather not"
 That --- that will be fine for you, Dick Eve said, trying to put into her voice the enthusiasm and gladness ho seemed to expect. But sho did not feel glad. Now sho had no choice except to re- turn to hor work at Bixby's. If she told Dick now that she was willing to make home for him wherever his work took him he would think it- was not because of love for him but because his financial success was assured.
 Yesterday she could have told him, but not to-day-not ever!

Ep YOUR CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts Barton
0zsSJ 6Y Nfz SlRvlc<. lte.

There is 6 controversy among philosophers about who is the happiest man.
 Is he the person with blunt feea- ing, little emotion, prone neither to excitement nor depression; -or Is 1t "pAllegro," the one with in- tense emotional makeup who suf- fers keenly one minute, rises to the pinnacle of ecstasy the next. and spends his days going into emotional frances of a hundred varieties?
 Most of us are of the latter type. We differ slightly in degree, that is all. Analyze yourself and dis cover the fact that in one short day you have been all these things: discouraged, encouraged, angry, modified, humiliated, proud. depressed, happy, jealous. kind. afraid, brave, suspicious, trusting. generous, stingy, bored, interested, annoyed, placated, anxious, re- lieved, sympathetic, cruel. Use al- most any adjective you want. This Is just an ordinary day.
 Machine or Soul
 Is this person of this nervous makeup happier than the "cold- blooded" person who takes life as he finds 1t and lets nothing either give him pain or great pleasure? Capacity for suffering is usually equalled by capacity for pleasure. The nerveless citizen loses much as we'll as being spared much.
 Probably the question never will be answered.
 If it could be, it would govern absolutely the way in which we train our children. How do we want them to be when they grow up? Machines who think and func- tion automatically, or souls who live? What kind of citizen would make for a better world? Prob ably the nerveless ones,"' some re- ply, "because then there would be no jealousy, no hatred, no anger and no war" Others would say. "The highly imaginative, emotion al individual is by far the best. It is he who gives us art, litera- ture, music, and the needs of the spirit. And as these people are the most imaginative. we can add in- vention' too."
 The Emotional Side
 In the above debate we have both sides. We can make our own decisions. have made mine. I choose the nerveless one.
 Why?
 Because we cannot possibly keep all emotion out of life. It Is there. We are made that way. To
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-10-14

strikean even and sane balance we need more training in the other thing. No, not emotional control, that is merely sop, but in an early training that gets us away from feeling too much about every littlething.
 Each generation finds us more emotionally vulnerable. There is too much excitement and too many things to pull our feelings about.
 To treat a child kindly but not to go to extremes in sympathy Is best. Don't let fear play any part. Don't let self-pity play part. Do not harangue too much about gen. uosity, or sympathy. Mako him as generous and as sympathetic as you possibly can, but don't let him get a feeling of grandeur about 1t, | Better to look on them as duties. Don't let him get the idea that he must be "feeling" some way or other about everything. Don't let him feed on excitement either,
 We can train children to all the l virtues without accenting the emo. l tional side of those virtues. We ! can make them scontented. And to my mind the contentet man is the happy man.

 Nobody did.
 The dinner ordered, Sarah Lou settled down like a small, happy kitten that was ready to walt now for further developments. Her hair was spun gold tonight. Her dress was wisp of ruffled pink that might have gone to a 10-year-old child-party. "We have with us" Sue began suddenly, and glanced across the dining room, then back to Jack, "Dhree tables beyond. Kenneth Corbett and a pretense at blonde ness"
 Jack managed to move his head slightly.
 "wonder where he got her. She's large and fieshy, isn't she?" t-
 "Um-humm. But in q luxuriant manner" That came from Sarah Lou. And she looks mad. Mad as "a defeated candidate who thought he had his votes in his pocket. She's looking at you, Sue. So is he. I guess that's why she looked. Women's eyes follow mems you know. And mems wander"
 The orchestra was playing. Haunting, barbaric rhythm and bodies swayed to 1t. Sue noted that the room was too hot, too filled with the odor of cheap perfumes and perspiring bodies and too clouded with mascara and lipstick that seemed to stand out in the smoky room.
 "Corbett and the dame are quar- reling," Sarah Lou said minute later. "I wonder why"

 Two-Piece Suits Modish
 Jane Bishop had on a sweet two-piece sports dress. The skirt was plain and the blouse was checked with yoke and Ascot tie of the plain wool to match her skirt. The blouse buttoned right down the front, was belted at the nor nal waistline and had long, tight sleeves.
 Satin combined with wool is a smart note this fall. Some times there are satin epaulets on black wool dresses. Often the yoke is satin while the rest of the dress is woolen.
 Audrey Madden wore a chic ensemble when she watched the aviation stunts. The dress was black wool with stitched satin epaulets and a collar and jabot of white crepe. The belt of self material was fastened with three metal buttons.
 Audrey completed her out fit with black gloves and a charming hat that boasted a trig little feather sticking down over the right eye.

 Fur Neck Pieces Popular
 There just isn't anything more fiattering than fur trim ming or a fur neckpiece. And society girls know it. Quite a lot of fur was seen at the air pageant, and most of it was the long-haired, silky kind, such as fox.
 Adelaide Moffett tied a nar- row, silver black fox fur cape let around her shoulders over her dress of light colored, soft wool.
 The dress was made simply and beautifully with no col lar. Two large buttons held the neckline together in front.
 Gwendolyn Gwynne's fur neckpiece, worn high around her slim throat, was of gray fox. Her black woolen coat dress was matched by black gloves, bag and little jockey type felt hat. The sleeves of the frock were full from the shoulder to just below the el- bow, where they were gath cred into a long, tight cuff.
 Two piece models are the height of fashion this season and, naturally, many society girls wore them at the air
