 CHAPTER XXxvII
 Tom didn't understand the change that had come over Gypsy but he was grateful for the new pcace and gayety in the house. AL though Vera's name was never mentioned, her presence in the city -in the office, in fact-appeared no longer to trouble young Mrs Weaver. Tom had heard of letting sleeping dogs lie and believed in the axiom. Vera was still pretty anxious to know why she and rTomny dear' couldn't be better friends. She pretended to believe H1le had done something to offend him. In a thousand small ways she contrfved to be near him. and yet 70 fnnocently were the encounters that he could never be certain they had been engineered. If it had not been for Gypsy's earlier he would have put him. eelw down as a fatuous fool for pven considering the matter.
 But there were no two ways about 1t, he couldn't ever bring Vera and Gypsy together. They didn't like each other and never would. Vera was good business woman. There were plenty of things he would; have liked to dis cuss with her outside the office. Her mind was keen. She had feline, silrewdness. And so 1t was that he fell again and again into small traps of her making. He would be lunching at the sandwich bar and she would appear beside him with a plate of cold cuts and . salad. Tom would listen, talk. smile while the lovely woman at his side, her gilt hair just show ing under the demure small hat, would murmur, encourage, ap- pIaud.

BY SISTER MARY NEA Service Stan Writer

Accurate measureme ents and pre- cision of procedure will result in perfect pastry every time. If you follow the rules your pies will be the melt-in-t n-the-mouth, tender, fiaky kind that every man smacks his lips over.
 And speaking of pie, let no dis gruntled modern who won't take the trouble to learn to make it tell you that it's "indigestible any, way" We'll baked pie used in the right meal, as a definite part of the meal and not as an after thought, is quite digestible for the average healthy person. Certain pies made with milk and eggs should be featured as the main dish, the preceding courses con- sisting chiefly of vegetables and salads.
 Plain Pie Crust
 One and one-half cups flour, 8 tablespoons shortening, 3 to 4 ta- blespoons cold water, 1-2 tea spoon salt.
 A good bread or all-purpose flour makes a fiakier crust than pastry flour. Pastry flour makes crumbly, tender crust. Of course either -four can be used with sat- is factory results. Measure flour after sitting once.
 A good quality of shortening should be used because this large ly determines the flavor of the crust. Lard or vegetable fat can be used as preferred.
 The proportion of fat and flour with the minimum of water is of great importance but the method of mixing the ingredients also of mixing the ingredients also must be painstakingly observed. The tendency to over-mix the ma terials is usually the beginners worst fault. With the large pro- portion of fat used. it is only too easy for the novice to work the constantly warming and softening fat into the flour until a greasy mass Is formed that cannot absorb enough water to make the pastry fiaky. The skilled worker can mix the shortening into the flour with her fingers because her touch is so light and quick that it does not soften and melt the fat. The be- ginner will find that Q pastry blender solves this problem effi- ciently and cheaply. Invest in one of these gadgets, by all means, If you laven't one. Mix the. fat and flour until 1t resembles kernels of | popcorn.
 Add Water Carefully The addition of water is an. other ticklish point. Too much water makes a heavy, tough dough in spite of correct proportions of | fat and flour. Water must be added in such Q way that it is dis 1 tributed evenly among the four coated particles of fat. Sprinkle the water on. not more than q tablespoonful at a time, mixing lightly with fork. Only enough

Among these exercises are the knee-chest or knee-elbow posture, various leg raising and arm raising movements done while the patient is in bed, and walking on all fours after she gets out of bed.

The good" child who is polite. well-dressed, meticulous about his or her duties, punctual, thought ful and kind is paragon almost too good to be true. But he and she exist in many numbers. It is un- fair and cruel to believe that good behavior connotes a sly or contriv- ing disposition. In the countless gestures toward child training find an increasing attitude of sus- piciou toward the good" child.
 When we get what we want we are took likely to find flaws in it.. As a matter of fact, really good children are those who have grown up in a normal happy en- vironment, who have had busy and satisfying days, have develop ed a nice proportion of desire and duty, and have not become SUD- pressed by having too-forceful parents impress their own person. alities or been spoiled by having 1t all their own way.
 Let us look at this a little. It concerns that terribly over-work- ed word "self-expression."
 Behind Child Behavior
 It has been explained that the "self" instinct lies behind most of a child's behavior. It demands feeding and gets its experience by sending out impulses that demand fulfillment Jimmy wants to learn boxing and asks for gloves. But his mother has come from musi- cal family and insists that his free time be spent practicing on a vio- lin. She buys a violin instead.
 In this case compromise would have been better. Self expression" would get it's satis- faction and thus make friends with the imposed duty, less to its liking.
 When "self expression" was rampant (and many parents got it into their heads that every child should be permitted to do every thing he wanted) it didn't get us anywhere. Today we find many such big children utterly unfitted for the "social." As a result they not only have more enemies than friends, but being utterly uncon- trolled in themselves, they race failure. Adjustments to duty is al most impossible to the untutored mind later on.
 However, there is this opposite angle, the parents who insist on their own way all the time.
 Now here we are likely to have the outwardly good" child who walks the mark and does every- thing he's told.
 Effect of Repression
 Inwardly we might be surprised. (Again I ask you not to jump to conclusions and assume that all good children are tangles of thwarted desires.) We might find resentment, and such a resentment born of continued frustrated "self" instinct is dynamite. Repression explains much otherwise unex- plainable behavior.
 Then is the time to obesrve many things. The violin boy Is entirely unpredictable and so is al- most any child because his reac- tion will be in keeping with his He may turn in his unhappiness to lying and subter- fuge and even to little cruelties. Again he may be utterly obstrep- erous and suddenly disobedient and disorganized in way not at all associable with his disappoint- ment.
 One episode will probably not cause all this trouble. Children have to get accustomed to certain disappointments and their minds will accept them with content if reason says 1t should be so. It IS a naccumulation of such episodes if one deep desire 1t bit, that eventually build up a chronic

PRENATAL AND MATERNAL

PRENATAL AND MATERNAL
 A little book on Prenatal and Maternal Care" by w. E. Hunter. A. B., M. D., F. A. c. S., of Los Angeles, seems to me more meaty and practical than other books on the subject, for expectant or anna teur, mothers. Don't let the string of letters after the authors name frighten you; there are really no hifalutin airs about him, as you will see when you read his book.
 Dr Hunter tells us that more than 500 theories for the determination of sex have been advanced and dis carded.
 Offhand I should say the esti- mate is moderate. Approximately 499 of the theories have been cx pounded to me by correspondents who desire immediate confirma- ton so they can begin to get ready to commence thinking of having the hovel done over into home. But meanwhile if I will kindly in- clude directions for birth con- trop
 Scientific study of embryology has shown that the chromosomes (cellular elements) of both male and female cell nuclei carry the hereditary tendencies and sex quail ities and that the SC xof offspring is the product of the predominant ing number of sex elements in the two nuclei that fuse to form the embryo.
 There are equal numbers of sperm cells predominating in eith- CT male or female chromosomes. so it Is purely a matter of chance which type of sperm cell reaches the ovum first.
 This explains why, notWith- standing all theories, notions or yarns, there have always been and will always be practically as many boy babies as girl babies born You pays your doctor q hope) and takes whatever the doctor brings.
 Dr Hunter points out trick of the trade. "Often doctors resort to subterfuge by asking the pat tent which. sex is desired and thon predicting the opposite sex. If the guess proves correct the physician is proclaimed a prophet, but If the guess be incorrect the mother Is so pleased with the result that the doctors mistake is entirely over looked"

Son, IF, very short. His father is short and stout. I fear my boy is doomed to be n shortly" too. Is there any treatment or anywhere I can go for "shts' to make him grow taller? (Mrs O. c. J.)
 Answer-In certain cases of re- tarded growth ductless gland med ication, given by your family doc tor, may promote more rapid increase in stature. There Is no specific remedy for the purpose. If the child is not below the aver age stature of his parents prob ably nothing can be done to make him taller.

Wiu It Be PracticaL Ma's-TGiIOred Outfit or Something Gay?

Outfit or Something c DECKING that first spring ! suit is quite a problem to the average girl. It must be a just right outfit, perfect, thrilling and new. The city suit leads a versatile exist ence and it must strut into the aters and cafes just as smoothly as 1t dashes into office buildings. While most any jacket length can be worn with propriety this year, the most youthful sort ends it's taunty self at the hip in a tight fitting manner.
 The man-tailored model at the left of the sketch is classic in it's severity. Gray herringbone forms both the jacket and skirt. Six buttons fasten the form-fitted double breasted coat. The skirt fits smoothly to the knee, where two kick pleats add walking width. A shantung Ascot scarf worn with this is printed in modern design of red, white and blue.
 ::
 THE gay young suit at the l right of the sketch is of soft flannel with an in- triguing color scheme of peche and brown. The skirt of the peche color with a high neckline and self buttons tucks into slim skirt of the brown flannel. The swank jacket has triangular breast pockets, large armholes and wide, straight sleeves. A narrow belt of brown patent leather holds it in place.
 Simple outfits like the two in the sketch never acquire that dated look. They can be pulled out of the closet year after year, touched up with new accessories and worn with feeling of assured eclat.

Answer-In my opinion crude cod liver oil which comes in bulk, without any brand name or fancy package, is best. Halibut liver oil Is at least as good as cod liver oil. Salmon oil has been found an ex- cellent source of vitamins, and itG taste is rather pleasing.
