around the house to keep a mother or father out of mischief. And how many good women and good men have been saved from the results of folly by the timely appeal or support of loyal child.
 Once more I warn the public never to elect me to any office which would give me any arbitrary or dictatorial power, for I'd soon clean up the marriage mess, I tell you. I'd set up a trial marriage that would have teeth in it. If any couple lived in wedlock more than three years after marriage without isue I'd require them to show cause why the union should not be de- clared null and void-or else to adopt and raise their quota of children. If it were possible to de- termine which partner were the barren one Gas it is in about half of the barren marriages) I'd have that one forever barred from fur- ther marriages, but the normal partner would be free to marry again and the state would wish him or her better luck next time.
 School teachers are generally mo- toriously ignorant-of physiology and hygiene. This ones supersti- ton that woman of Al is too old to bear children reflects false mo- tion which prevails abong fishwives in general. A healthy woman of that age should be at her acme physically.

 ANN HOLILSTER, pketty and 70, bEeak1 her engagement to TONY 1I1CKLE, commercial art- lgt Hecauee of his drinking and general responsibility. The same day PETER KENDALL,
 wealthy and prominent, learns how VALERIA BENNETT, his 1ancee, has deceived him, and tells her everything is over be- tween them.
 Ann and Peter, both heart-sick and disiIlusiOned, meet in . res- t9nrAnt. When Peter asks her to ziknffy him, Ann agrees.
 They arc married that night asa set out for Florida. They spend several weeks there hap ply until Peter is called home nEAtn because of business. All of the Kendall family except Peters sister. MILI1CENT, snub Ann. MilliCent decides to give dance to introduce Ann to society. Ann leAE1is that Valeria will be among the guests.
 CHAPTER XIX
 An said, "Yes, Valeria's invited. She heard about the party and told Millicent she hoped she wouldn't be excluded. Valeria said she wanted to be friends. Milli- cent thought there was nothing to do but ask her"
 'sSo that's it!" Sarah breathed, "She can fight better close to you, and with less danger of discovery. Ann, dear, can't you see what's be- fore your very nose?"
 T certainly can. Which reminds me it needs powdering." Ann turned toward the bedroom and Sarah followed.
 When the door was closed Ann handed Sarah the package she had been holding. Sarah united the tissue wrapping and lifted out one exquisite undergarment after an- other. When she came to the beau tiful ivory satin negligee tears gathered in her eyes.
 Ann, I can't bear it. Getting all these lovely things for my rousseau when you've been so un' happy"
 'No, wasn't unhappy-that is, not terribly unhappy. Sarah. Peter has been wonderful. It's just that l feel I'm living in sort of dream Of course" her voice broke, T had planned everything differently. I had always expected to have real honeymoon, not make-believe one. To spend 1t with someone who really loved me and someone"
 She did not finish, but began powdering her nose furiously. She had been about to say land some- one loved" But loyalty to Peter sileneed her.
 Sarah said, meeting Ann's eyes in the mirror, you might as well tell all. darling. You won't be sec ing me every day now"
 Peters wonderful. Sarah. The best friend I ever had"
 "Friend! Who wants friendly husband?"
 "He took d huge apartment and has servants all over the place Sometimes I think I would be a lot happier if had work to do-. like Peter"
 Lonely, thought Sarah. She's terribly lonely. That's bad - for Peter.
 Aloud, she said, q hope you'll keep your eyes open. bet v9ieria Bennett will. And I have at5 idea the family would rather have her, with all her meanness, than a rank interloper. It's the inbred snobbishness of people whose families have always known each other. Your ancestors may have come over in the Mayfiower, Ann, but it wouldn't make any difference to the Kendalls unless theirs were on the same boat. I

1.--Alvin c. Zurich, phycholigist of the University of Minnesota, tested a large group of students by having them read a book, each taking all the time desired and then examining them on how much they remembered. The fast readers scored highest. Numerous other tests have been made on this point and practically all agree that the fast readers both remein- ber more and understand what they read a little better - not much than those who read more, slowly. By practice one can consederably increase his speed or understanding reading.

wish old Peter was on your side. He would be whole regiment for you"
 "He's refused to see me. There's nothing can do.'
 "There is another side to Mrs Kendall's attitude" Sarah said. Peter is the only one who isn't her child. I suppose you know that. Peter was only three when she married his father. Millicent was born within two years and several years later the twins came Carol and Don."
 "Yes, know" Ann said. Peter told me the family history. He seems very fond of them, particu- larly Carol"
 "Hm. can't say admire Peters taste. Everybody thinks she's an awful snob."
 Peter thinks she is misunder- stood. and kicking against the traces makes her seem arrogant and hard. He says she's really the finest of them all when you know her we'll"
 "When's the party?"
 Thursday night. You and Mac must be sure to come.
 Mac Tn fulI dress! Saran smiled. "I'll threaten him with that"
 But you will come?"
 "I won't promise. Send me one of those swanky invitations though. I want to frame it. I'm agine being invited to a party given by a Kendall! You never can tell what will happen in this world"
 Ann laughed. "I feel the same way" she confessed. T wake up sometimes at night and turn or the light and look at the mag nificence. I want to pinch myself to see if it's true" Sarah told Mac, when they were alone together, that she felt ir her bones something would hap pen at Millicent's dance.
 And I'm betting on Ann" she said. She's clever and spirited She'll give the Kendall's run for their money and outwit Valeria Bennett, too" That is," Sarah said slowly Eff Ann puts her heart in the fight" She had just remem. bered that Ann had not mentioned

Suggestions From Hobbies

tractive sports bracelet made of a series of crystal squares, chained together with gold links, perhaps. Each square has a hunting scene painted on it. Together they de- pict a fox hunt from start to finish.
 Jewelry is the truly luxurious present for a woman of any age. There are beautiful watches. in cases that stand upon a night table, glamorous diamond pins, clips and earrings, necklaces set with precious and semi-precious stones. Diamond corsage pins are for girls who have many jewels. So are lipstick cases, studded with rubies.
 A man who has real love of the sea in his veins would appreciate a elm-shaped desk clock that strikes bells instead of hours, a marine painting or cuff links in the shape of diminutive ships. If he owns boat, give him a chart case or a cocktail set that won't break when the waves toss his craft l1ither and yon.
 There are games for the man who has no particular hobby. SASoS ID SOAuAGS UhChs dM0 D. bSS VL ivory chessmen, yellowed with age, carved lovingly hundreds of years ago by the Chineses, is indeed a true luxury gift. A new gabe, Make a Million," though not so expensive, sounds impressive.
 Books, rare and first editions, should be on your list of luxury gifts to give for Christmas. Brand new is miniature reference H. brary, containing dictionary, atlas, encyclopedia and five other. small books of quotations and proverbs, always handy for the professional person.
 Tn the average woman's mind. furs are about the most spectacu- lar of all gifts. If you intend to put a good deal of money into a present for HER, look at silver fox capes. They're new this year and are by far the most glamorous items on the market. But if she has more interest in her home than clothes, sterling silver is your arl- swer-beautifu tea sets, platters, bowls, anything for the table.

PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

Paris. (UP)-Stag shoes doesn't mean that they are for men--they are, on the contrary, very feminine slippers made of shaved stag-skin, usually in brown and black, but they can~-be dyed to match any en- semble. Think of it-fur shoes with all the smoothness and chic Of satin. Good for sports when made into oxfords, and plenty smart for afternoon and evening when made into pumps and sadals.
 Carved ivory bracelet now serve as blouse or dress cuffs. They have matching brooches and rings, or g. flat carved choker collar. Expen- sive-yes, but what isn't that bears the title of "exc1usivity"? Higher still is the same idea carried out in tjade and amber. Of course, you can come down the scale as well to quartz and wood-but then, after you've seen the other, you no want!
 Watch the new dots that coma out from now on. There is some thing in each and every one. It may be a star, a fish. a pheasant or, it may be plaid dot, q flower with ring around 1t or 1t may be a nice round hole large enough o shoot 8 nickle through!
 is too shallow ever to feel anything deeply. And unless you really feel, the chances are that you never will be a kindly, sympathetic person.
 This, of course, doesn't mean that you should be so happy about lines that you neglect the use Of preparations made especially to keep the skin youthful. Lines are one thing-furrows are quite a dif- ferent matter.
 The smart thing to do is to stop fretting about your years and re- member that what you are inside is more important. Real beauty shines from within and, like suc- cess, generally comes after Q per. son has reached maturity.
