 "You were just a kid. You didn't know what it was all about" sup- piled Hilda gravely, consuming baked beans. You were just all for a good time ."
 'T was just beach club girl" Boots contributed with fiippancy. 'I've come long way since then"
 ''I'll say!"

 Hilda Apfel patted the hand that nervously beat tattoo on the table top.
 Don't worry. You will" "I'll come out of this," Boots said suddenly, fiercely. ''I'll make something of myself; be somebody. Then I'll go home and show them" Hilda gave her shrewd glance. ''How about the boy friend I've seen waiting for you at the corner of Thirty-fourth once or twice?" Boots colored. Edward ?" Oh, he's just friend. A nice boy :" Hes rlch, isn't he?" She shrugged. "Yes guess so."
 You guess!" Course he is. I saw that car of his. There was fellow came up to Hunters Falls in the summer once with one like that. Minerva, isn't it?"
 q don't know honestly. I never noticed"
 Hilda gave her wondering glance. You're @ riot. Honestly you are. No wonder the men fall for you. You've got al don't know "a little girl way about you. That's what they like" Boots flushed. T haven't"
 "Well, take it from me he's someone to hang on to-" Hilda of- fered. buttering the last bit of brown bread and eating it with evident relish. "This mans town is hard one for a girl alone.

They've fought their way inch by inch and over dead bodies, too. if the truth were known" fin- ished Hilda with her hearty laugh. "No, somehow I've got a feeling you couldn't stand the gaff of the store. You ought to set out to mar ry again and marry right this time. That's your line. You're pretty and soft and you've got nice manners. You belong in some cozy little home with a maid to bring you breakfast in bed and maybe couple of babies after a while"
 I'm working my way through this particular hard time," Boots told her. "I don't want anyone's
 Yet afterward when she had left Hilda the conversation returned to her in it's entirety. Hilda didn't understand, she told herself, with good-natured contempt. Like many other girls, Hilda believed Edward Van Sciver was sent directly from heaven. Not that Edward had ever said anything definite to Boots about marriage. But there was something lately in his attitude that indicated his thoughts might be directed into those channels. No, she was finished with mar

should school children go to the movies through the week?" a mother asks. q had a dreadful time last year with Mary. She went to the four o'clock show about every other day and she was terribly late for her supper. And always on Saturday, too"
 If Miss Mary had been mine I'd have been after her with a police man, I think. No child has any business to sit in school all day using up mental energy and then continue to use up emotional en- ergy on pictures or anything else, except for an occasional splurge.
 This does not concern movies as such, or their influence good or bad on the child's training. It is the physical effect we are regard ing here, and the upsetting of habit, and hygenic routine.
 Children Need Change
 There is a time and a place for children to see pictures. It de- pends on their age. their bed time and their own susceptibility to excitement. But when a child sits in school all day, even the healthi- est needs change of air and posi- tion and to stop using up nerve power. Emotional interest of mos tion pictures, it is true, does di- vert and rest the brain to a great extent, but what growing children need is the balance of physical ac- tivity after session at lessons.
 As it happens there is no reason why Mary should not stop in at a sal4 in a xx11i1n But when it becomes an obsession balance. If she has studying to concentrating on books. When are her muscles going to get chance?
 Children Seeking Escape
 The same is true of the child who habitually comes home to his story books. Many boy has some everlasting pirate or Jesse James waiting for four o'clock to come along. He shuts himself up to read rather than go out roller skating or play ball. There is no great difference from a phy- sical point of view between the movie and the boko. Both are emotional fillips instead of mus cular and fresh air tonics.
 Too often the movie-mad child, or book-made child, is escaping from real living. Perhaps they don't care much for things the way they are at home or have no desire to take any part in small home responsibilities. But what ever the reason, there is a limit to these diversions, place where they cease to be rest"

Balance and boise = how for tunate are the women who pos sess these two valuable assets! Yet many girls go on, year after year, caring for their skin and hair, but negleeting the very things that are the fundamentals of real beauty.
 Think of dozen women whom you know. Which are the most charming, the incest guests and most gracious hostesses? The ones with boise and balance, of course. Then let that be the keynote to your own resolutions in the name of beauty. Make up your mind to improve your carriage, to acquire physical balance, and boise will come more easily.
 If you stand awkwardly, or ap- pear i'll at ease with strangers and walk as though you had lead in your shoes, promise yourself to do something about these defects be- to correct. Remember to breathe deeply when you feel slightly em- barrassed. Try to forget yourself when you're with group. And then learn to do exercises that inn prove pOSIuEc, lOOScH up IClloC muscles and make you walk in light, graceful manner.
 Exercises are most pleasant when done to music. Turn on the radio or the victrola and do your dozen-for- boise to some gay tune you like to hum. Smile all the while you're doing them.
 Stand with ankles together, arms outstretched, shoulder level, at the sides. Take a long step forward with your right foot and, swinging the right arm forward in front of you and the left one back and slightly downward, lunge for ward, bending the right knee. The left knee should be only one inch from the floor. Feel the waistline muscles stretch and pull as you go down.
 Hold the position five seconds and then, swinging the arms back to the original position, draw the left leg up to the right and stand erect again. Repeat at least ten times. Incidentally, this exercise, in addition 10 giving your body more poise and balance, tends to reduce the legs.

riage, finished with men, except as playmates. She was going to fight her way to the top in the business world. Make people respect her for her attainments. Let Kay Chilling ford with her soft, superior throaty voice angle for the atten- ton of every man present
 Her heart began to beat thickly, painfully whenever she thought of Kay.
 "She has everything" Boots thought rebelliously.
 Yet there was certain hardness to, under Rays air of complete feminity. Kay had made a sue. cess in the world of affairs, too Kay had a fat salary check, had her own modern apartment (Ed- ward had said) over in Beekman Place. All angles, Edward had said and chairs made of cork and silver tubing, with a deep purple ceiling scattered with silver stars
 Once only recently Boots had had a glimpse of Kay in the store. Kay, in a charming spring frock of dark blue with touches of scarlet, had been wandering about with one of the buyers, Miss Bevan, touch- ing fables, making notations. Miss Bevan had been openly subserv- tent. From distance Boots had watched the young Englishwoman. had heard her delicious, low-toned laugh.
 She had not been able to explain the deep-seated resentment she had felt for Kay Chillingford.
 Anyhow she hasn't announced her engagement to Denis yet, Boots had said hotly, proudly. Anyhow it isn't settled"
 It was only, Boots reminded her self, that Denis and she would no longer be friends, once Kay had married him. Kay would be-you could see the violently jealous sort. And Boots did long to see Denis, just to talk to him-nothing more. To feel his handclasp, see his long-lashed, dark blue eyes crinkle up with sudden laughter :.
 Once she sat with the telephone receiver in her hand in Mrs Mooney's stuffy little hallway, the number trembling on her lips. But she had put the receiver down again. She had realized it would never do. When she could pay Denis back, and not before then. she would telephone to him.
 She was saving madly toward that end at the moment.
 In the meantime she lived so- berly, frugally, saving the pennies, washing out her stockings and underthings in the gray basin ir the bathroom of Mrs Moneys flat, wandering rather aimlessly to movies and museums on Sundays It was lonely. it was bleak. She was learning one hard lesson after another. Something hard and crys- talline came to take the place o1 her girlish ease and Softness. She no longer grumbled at hardships but took the bitter with the sweet with a certain philosophy older than her years. In the past she how to make the best of things al again she would know better. pillow would be wet with tears But in the morning she showed g smiling face to the world. She wa. brushed and tidy.

 And then quite suddenly summer shut down upon the world. A hot breathless. breeding summer. That was another story.

Host or hostess skilled in the art of preparing and serving salad to guests truly dispenses hospitality. Compared with this pleasing cere- mony the schoolboy business of mixing cocktails is pretty tiresome.
 The per cent vegetables (con- taining not over 5 per cent of carbohydrate) offer many possible combinations for a salad, especially those which may be taken raw. Lettuce, tomato, celery, cucumbers, water-cress, cabbage, endive, chard, radishes, broccoli, aspar gus i, string beans, caulifiower, sauer- Then in the 10 per cent vegetables onions, beets, turnips and carrots; and in the 10 per cent fruits, lem- ons, oranges, pineapple, grape fruit, peaches, strawberries, water melon. In the IS per cent list green peas, apples, pears, cherries, pe- cans, walnuts.
 When a liberal portion of salad containing raw fresh vegetables or fruits is taken as a substantial part of the meal, it is all right to use a salad dressing composed largely of oil. But the following dressing has proved acceptable to many who had been accustomed to too liberal use of oil dressings on salad:
 Lalla's Salad Dressing.
 1k cupfuls of mineral oil
 Yolks of two eggs
 # teaspoonful of mustard flour
 % teaspoonful of salt
 A jerk of pepper
 4 tablespoonfuls of vinegar.
 In using this or any other salad dressing either leave it to the guest to apply the dressing himself or else err on the side of economy in dressing the salad in the bowl. It is sad to spoil good salad with an excess of dressing.
 And remember, stout friends, what I said about salad satisfying. This business of being sylphlike is all very well but the effect Is spoiled if you have to drag around with that lean and hungry look in your sunken eyes. Go in for salads in big way and see how content ed you will be on your reduction or maintenance regimen.

The wedding gown (left) is in-. tended expressly for the ingenue bride. Made of heavy, antique wedding satin, it has rather high neckline, trimmed with cartridge pleats to match the ones on the shoulder seams. The tiny seams on either side of the high 'vaistline give the figure that youthful, up- lifted look. With it is shown a fioor-length veil, draped around the head in a little cap that is trimmed with flowers to match the old-fashioned bouquet.
 The other bridal outfit (right) is for the sophisticated type of beauty. It's made of uncut velvet, has long flowing lines, a train and glamorous sleeves that end in long chiffon cuffs, embroidered with seed pearls. A cap of matching seed pearls and shoulder-length veil of tulle are worn with it.

SYLPH SALAD FOR REDUCTION
 MENU

SYLFd SALAD FUR 0EDOCI1ON MENU
 Salad should be the prominent feature of the regular dinner or principal meal of the day for any one who wishes to reduce or to avoid growing too stout. In scientifically or physiologically planned reduction regimen the pa- tient always has one substantial meal daily. It is neither wise nor necessary to restrict the diet to the verge of starvation or even hard ship. All that sort of crude punsh- ment belongs back in the era of swooning ladies and brain fever.
 The reason why salad should be the first consideration in the meal is not that it is non-fattening, but rather that well designed salad is palatable and much more satis- flying than would be an equivalent amount of nutriment in refined or purified, form. It is satisfying not merely because it supplies bulk, though we know a tolerable bulki- ness in food, even though it be low in nutritive value, does tend to prevent hunger bangs. Emphasis should be placed on the salad course rather because 1t supplies essential minerals and vitamins, and therein lies the secret of avoid ing overeating.

structure, even the human being.- The parts of a huge locomotive strewn on the floor are unin- teresting. But assemble the parts and put the locomotive into action. Then who shall say it is without beauty and human interest?" He points out, as Tennyson said that if science could only teach us all about flower we would "know what God and Man is."
 8. Yes, because 1t gives them a good excuse for their laziness in not having studied harder or ob- served more closely, and thus hav- ing forgotten what they should have remembered. What they should say is: T was too lazy to study the matter or to review my information and for that reason have forgotten" Psychologists have shown that most people have a far better memory than they think they have.

BOOTS RAEBURN, 18, and lovely, elopes with RUSS DUND handsome swimming instructor, because her pride has been hurt by some pretty social snubs. Russ goes to Miami, promising to send for her later. Boots gets a job in a department store. She is living in . tiny room in Green- wich Village when she is strick- en with influenza. DENIS FEN WAX, young author, befriends her and later introduces her to some of his friends. Boots finds herself resenting the possessive air beautiful KAY CHILLING FORD has toward Denis.
 Just before her illness Boots received a telegram telling her Russ had been killed in a mO- torb0at accident. She goes back to the store to work, too proud to appeal to her parents. She ' sees EDWARD VAN SCIVER, one of Denis friends, frequently.
 CHAPTER xxx
 Spring days with hint of warmth in the air; rainy days with ribbons of silver mist floating
 
 blowing Boots lived through them all. Edward went to Nassau on a late March cruise and she missed his voice on the telephone and his laugh and his admiring glance. It was lonely and her room kas full of the restlessness of spring. It was thrillingly painful on one of those lilac-tinted even- lngs, with a quick, earlier rain Frying on city pavements, to walk along the narrow streets, to see barrows of daffodils by the curb 5tone or huckster with his wagon filled with plants for window boxes -pansies, pink geraniums, agera- tum. And to be alone in the city in springtime, Boots discovered. is an experience at once sad and sweet.
 She wanted someone to enjoy the lengthening days with her, some- one to hum the music that every hurdy-gurdy Italian played on his wheezy barrel organ. The radios along the shabby streets gushed music, too. And she was young. She went along on dancing feet.
 Once she went to the movies WllA Hilda Apfel who had been a stu dent nurse but hadn't been able to stand the rigors of training. Hilda was popular on the seventh floor of Lacy's. She was quick, eager, pleasant saleswoman. There was talk of her being made some sort of supervisor at Easter.
 'I took to you right away. hn Miss Apfel conf1ded to Boots. "Sure I like all the girls, but there's something about you. I could see you were used to better things. |"
 She knew the whole story now. How Boots had eloped with Russ: Russ's death; she knew all about the tiny, cramped fiat in Astoria. with Gloria cutting out sleazy blue and red silks under the glare of the overhead fixtures. Boots had told her all her parents an- ger, everything.
 "You'll get over it. Things will come out all right" Hilda told Boots seriously across a cafeteria table. The vinegar cruet, Hhe catsup bottle, the heavy glass pepper and salt cellars were between them on the gleaming white table. There were coarse, white-handled knives and forks. There were twisted paper napkins and heavy glasses of water and their plates, heaped with the simple. satisfying food. Baked beans. Brown bread. Wal dorf salad
 T know" Boots eyes were far away. Strangely enough, it was not of Russ she was thinking at the moment. He and all the events of the past summer seemed far

TALLER LINES FEATURE
 NEW CLOTHES

Fall clothes are designed to make all figures look taller. Skirts are plain, giving long slender line downward from the hips, and bodices sweep upward from waist lines to necks, achieving the same effect in the other direction. Tun- ics, for instance, add height. So do sloping shoulder lines, raglan and dolman sleeves. Even hats do their part to maintain the regal silhou- cite. The newest ones have ex- ceedingly high crowns, often trim med with feathers that stick straight upward.
