GREAT EASTERN HOTEL.
Calcutta, India.-I had all In
tentions of leaving here today
for Burma, but the boat pulled
out just a few hours before I
reached the pier. And because
I didn't feel like swimming
after it, I returned to the hotel,
prepared to spend a little more
time around this spot. With
nothing better to do, I decided
to pay another visit to the race
track.
When I went to the track at
Bombay a few days ago, I
thought that my luck had un-
dergone a complete change.
That was the day that Mans
field, considered a dog by every
body around the track, came in
a winner and paid a handsome
price. Having plunked down a
few bucks on that nice, little
horsie, I was agreeably sur
prised when he won.
Changed Luck
With chest thrown out and
head held high, I marched to
the bookmaker's window, handed
in my ticket and received my
winnings. At last, I thought,
my luck has changed. I could
see myself cleaning up on every
race that day, and the next day,
and the day after that.
You know what happened.
I've already told you the sad
tale of returning to the hotel
on borrowed money. I swore
that from then on race tracks
and I were enemies. No more
would the bookmakers eat on my
money.
No, me hearties, heard moth.
ing whatever about the beauti-
full places in and around Cal
cutta. During the first few
hours after my arrival I was
besieged at every turn to take
a run out to the track. It was
a marvellous place, I was in
formed. Only the best people
attended the races, I learned.
And so on.
Two days ago, I made up my
mind to take a look at this
wonderful. track. You already
know the results of my attempt
to break all the bookmakers at
the track. Not only did I lose
heavily, but the few remaining
bucks that had were taken
from my pocket. And the mugs
ruined a perfectly good suit
when they helped themselves
to my dough!
A Fine System
With all this in mind, then,
what did Hellinger do? Exactly.
I returned to the same track
this afternoon. But I fooled
those babies plenty this trip.
The bookmakers didn't make a
thin dime on me, nor did the
pickpockets get me. My sys-
tenn worked out beautifully. I
went to that track today with
out so much as a counterfeit
nickle.
After the races were over, I
returned to the hotel. And
then I made a remarkable dis
covery. Somebody around the
track had stolen my field
glasses!
Oh, well.
I heard a swell yarn from a
gentleman whom I met at the
track. This bird, it seems, has
so much money he doesn't know
just what to do with it. So,
every three years, he packs his
grips and takes a trip around
the world.
Three years ago, while en-
gagged in one of his usual-or
unusual, as the case might be
trips, he became quite friendly
with a fellow whom he met in
Paris. The two of them at
tended the races daily, and the
hot spots nightly. Money was
no object to either of them.

foods imaginable and asked no
favors Of anybody. Mr.. Jones,
who told mo the yarn and
whose name, Of course, is
fictitious, was having such a
wonderful time that he ex-
tended his visit to Paris. Orig
inally, he had planned to stay
but q few days. Those few
days, though, passed all too
quickly. And the days turned
into weeks.
Five weeks had passed.
Smith came to his friend one
day.

I'm almost broke"
"B-b-but," he stammered,

thought you had plenty Ct

His friend interrupted him.

returned. But I've lost It all.

I've been doubling my bets in

it because I was afraid you'd

"I've been drawing against

He shrugged his shoulders.

He told him he'd loan him q
sufficient amount of money to
help him get back on his feet,
but the other man would have

Dresses of Spun Glass
Now Costume Novelty

Glass slippers are not new, but it
has been left to 1888 to produce '-A
evening gown of the same material.
Dressmakers like to experiment
with new fabrics, and this latest one
certainly gives them plenty of scope.
But it requires careful handling. 1t
is spun glass, and the very delicate
threads would be broken If a sewing
machine were used in making gar
ments from it. Everything must be
done by hand. The stuff can, how
ever, be cut with ordinary scissors.
And the dresses made from it,
They are no heavier To wear than a
good taffeta, and their shimmering
surface makes them fascinating to
look at They can even be washed,
though naturally not quite In the or
binary way. They are cleaned with
a cloth soaked in petrol, or rubbed
very gently. with soapsuds.
VIII they catch on? That, per
haps, is not so easy to answer. Won
en- are always interested in dress
novelties, but that doesn't neces-
sarily mean that they want to buy
and wear them. ON the otner hand
if a few prominent people lead the
way, there may be n keen demand
for the glass dresses.

WHAT OF IT?

MUCH of our complaining about
4Nl the children is of no account.
Many of our sharp criticisms are
unnecessary. We have the picture
of our ideal Of a child in mind and
when the actual child differs from
the dream we are troubled, or an
noyed, and attempt to make the
child conform to our notion. Most
of the friction in families is caused
by this mistaken attitude.
If child is born with a pug nose
and the family likes straight ones
better, If he has freckles and moth
er prides herself on her clear skin,
If he has big hands and feet and
father has dainty ones, if he Is reti-
cent and the family loquacious,
what Of it? Or you, for that mat
ter?
The child was born with charac-
istic physical features, with certain
strong traits and tendencies. Are
you going to make his life miser-
able because you fancied a differ
ent set for him? Or are you going
to accept him good humoredly and
do your best to help him grow to
his own advantage?
Next time you feel tempted to
suffer because your child has some
annoying characteristic, .one that is
not truly fundamental to his men,
tai and physical health, just ask
yourself, "What of it?" Keep ask
ing until the answer comes to
you. Just nothing at all" This
child is going TO make his way in
the world in spite of his red hair.
or his awkwardness or his weight.
What counts is his mind. If that
is strong, it is beautiful, and mental
beauty illuminates the body with a
radiance that wipes out all crudi-
ties, even absurdities.
If a child is made to feel unfit,
his mind suffers. am against
mental suffering for children-ad-
ultS, too, for that matter. | believe
that 1t is our duty to save children
from mental distress whenever we
can. We ought TO be on the alert
to prevent it. That means we
should not make remarks about a
child's personal characteristics In
way that wounds his spirit.
If child Is awkward, study how
to help him grow in grace, remem-
bering all young things are clumsy
at the start. If hair is straight
when curls would be lovelier, If 1t
is a difficult color, dress it to ad-
vantage. No healthy child ever
had ugly hair. If he has a blem-
ish or a defect that you can help,
help it. If it can't be helped, what
of it?
1 don't believe children grow
their own feelings of inferiority. l
believe they are made for them by
mistaken adults.

BLACK FOUNDATION
OF FALL WARDROBE

DESERVING the bright colors of mid
summer. the smart Parisienne has
returned TO her favorite black for
morning, afternoon and evening. In
a recent interview a French wom-
an whose name is Synonymous with
chic on two continents, outlined a
typical Paris wardrobe. For day
time, her choice is a lightweight
black wool coat. cut with wide shoul-
derS and trim fitted waistline. This
she wears over a black sheer wool
frock.
Her afternoon dresses include a
yellow and black printed crepe,
worn with black gloves and a small
draped turban of black velvet. This
she alternates with a black satin
jacket suit, with white satin blouse.
For informal dining she wears a
simple black crepe frock, whose
long slender lines are accentuated
by panels of pale blue at the sides.

OUR
CHILDREN
THE LONG AND SHORT
By ANGELO PATRI

IT TAKES a nice sense of dis
elimination to know when to en-.
courage a child to independent ac
ton and when to restrain him. Tn,
aim of all our teaching is to max,
the children self-helpful
1t is certain that we cannot bring
up a child TO the post adolescenl
stage as a dependent child and or
his birthday anniversary, turn hin
loose with the idea that he car
take care Of himself. Self-direC
ton is not an overnight matter.
The infant is dependent upon US
for his very life, but If we continue
to keep him so he will, he must.
continue to be an infant. We can.
not ignore the various stages OF
growth and expect them to mature
Without use, the budding powers
wither and die. Good training in
wolves understanding of the various
phases of child growth so that they
may be developed in turn and at
the high tide of their powers.
Self help begins when the baby
can hold his own bottle, or help
to hold il, and it continues as long
as there is strength in his body,
even down to old age. The span
in between is one of steady prog
ress, adjustment, mastery. How
soon a child can be freed OF home
supervision depends upon the sort
of child he is, the kind of training
he has, the sort of environment he
meets in his daily experiences. AS
soon as you see that a child can
complete Job without your super
vision, praise him and tell him so.
Go slowly and be careful not to
put strain on a weak place. Don't
test the newly acquired virtue too
soon. Support and strengthen 1t
first.
There comes a difficult time when
children feel grown up. To them
selves they are able 70 go any,
where, face any situation, carry
any responsibility. To us who
know them, who have followed
every stage OF their growth. they
are not able to go alone. They are
long on one side and short on an
other. 1t won't do to make them In
fants. 1t won't do TO make them
adults. We have to piece out their
short sides and help them along
until both sides balance.
There is no easy way. One steps
along gingerly, living a day at a
time, moving a snail's pace. BY and
by the miracle works and the child
is a man, woman, in his own
right. One just gropes and prays
and comforts and counsels until
then.

Why
Liquid Laxatives
are Back in Favor
~

The public is fast returning to the use
of liquid laxatives. People have
learned that the properly prepared
liquid laxative will bring a perfect
movement without any discomfort
at the time, or after.
The dose of liquid laxative can
be varied to suit the needs of the
individual. The action can thus be
regulated. A child is easily given the
right dose And mild liquid laxatives
do not irritate the kidneys.
Doctors are generally agreed that
senna is the best laxative for every
body. SIENNA is n natural laxative. 1t
does not drain the system like the
cathartics that leave you so thirsty.
DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin is a
liquid laxative which relies on senna
for its laxative action. 1t has the
average persons bowels as regular as
clockwork in a few weeks time.
You can always get DR.. Caldwell's

for use. Member n. r. A.
