 If a child lacks spunk how can we get it in? If he's forever allow ing other children to take advan. tage of him how can we change M' BY staming2 By featuring? By tell ing lnimtto go after the other rel low and beat him up?
 Absolutely not. That is ike try, ing to put the yeast into the Dreao after it is baked.
 Funny how we deal with our own little folk sometimes. We put them in their place in the mousse we put them in their place Tn school: everywhere the child mas an official position he Is treated subjectively as though he were pawn on Q chess board. Pernaps he is moved about with as much care and thought as 2 queen bishop or a kings knight but just the same he is seldom the free in- dividual thinking and acting for himself.
 In time he learns that he has only one place to fill fin the world to be a good little boy and to do as he is told.
 It is easy for child to transfer this acceptance of order from old CT people to younger ones. and 10 take 1t for granted he mpst do what all other children say.
 Children Are Different
 There is a difference in children. Some are naturally independent and do not fall into the "order- taking" habit 50 easily. We call them bad, of disobedient, or some thing uncomplimentary. They are in trouble whenever they get g. chance but they go out and boss our own little ladies and gentlemen with glorious assurance.
 To try to cure this maladjust- ment of child relationships and at the same time cling to our present system of molding the child to our ideas is something cannot do with a stroke of my pen. am merely trying to show that 1t is nothing to be wondered at when the good, meek and tractable little souls take a back seat and get el- bowed about most unmercifully by ruthless youngsters who seem to have had no training whatsoever. If we really want our children 10 do some pushing, we won't go III for a form of early training that cripples their sinews and softena their character muscles. We Will allow for individualism and growth which tend to leadership and cour- age

PARIS STYLES
BY MARY KNIGHT

Paris (UP)-Everybody who has a nickel to spend over here-and they are not 50 numerous but what you can keep up with them pretty well-is running around frantically for costume jewelry.
 This is one of the constant in-and -outers. It's popularity is as undulating as the ocean. One season you wouldn't be seen wearing any kind of stones that were not real and set in platinum, or IA karat gold. Then just as you spend your last savings account dollar on the real stuff, out come people like us to tell you that cos tum trinkets are the rage and even though yours are the genuine arti- cles they won't get the credit for being anything but paste--and there you are. You can do most anything with fashions but make the rhyme or reason: this they refuse to do. Well, like it or not, costume jewels are in.
 Jenny Dolly got rid of 5,0o0,- 900 francs worth Ca tenth, she says, of what they cost) a pearls, emeralds and diamonds, and doesn't give a hoot If she never has any more.

 His aunt eyed him for an in- stant without speaking. Then she said. "very well, David. won't mention it."
 "Thanks. Ho-hum! Believe I'll 20 upstairs and turn in. Little sleep might do me good"
 q agree with you" his aunt said tersely.
 Banister said good night and mounted the stairs. He entered hts room but seemed in no hurry about going to bed. For a long time he sat, sunk far back in comfort able old chair. He was looking at the picture of his grandfather on the opposite wall but he did not seem to be seeing 1t.
 Then he went to his desk and rummaged through it's drawers. They were in a disordered state and his method of searching for what he wanted was equally disOr- dered. Old letters, pages of manu- script and clippings from news papers fell to the. floor. Banister picked them up, damned them back into the drawer and tried another. For several minutes the search proceeded unprofitably. Suddenly he drew forth an oblong bit of cardboard.
 It was the photograph he had found on the floor of Tracy Kings apartment, the wedding pie ture of 30 years ago. Bannister glanced at the bride in her .ruffled wedding fnery and the bridegroom with his impressive mustache. He turned the picture over and studied the back of the card minutely, but there was nothing to be found there. Bannister gave 1t up. He placed the photograph on the desk before him, propping 1t against Q pile of books. Then he sat back and lock- ed at 1t.
 After q while he reached for the picture and held it to the light. Canister frowned. There waa something familiar about that bridegroom. Why hadn't he noticed 1t before? It was something that just escaped remembrance. He had seen the man --- or had he? Thirty years could make great changes. If the man in the photograph were dressed in modern clothes, If the mustache were missing, how would he look?
 Bannister tried to imagine the result but 1t was difficult. Who could say what the years - 30 years-could do? The man looked much older than the woman in the picture. Must have been 30 then, at least. That would make him well, somewhere around 60 now. Perhaps older.
 But the familiarity persisted. Somewhere Canister was sure he had seen that face. Where?
 He himself had drifted over the continent, settled in dozen diff ferent cities during the past six years. It might have been in Hol- lywood, Mexico City, Chicago-oh, there was no chance to figure it out that way.
 to undress. But in five minutes he was back again, staring at the photograph. A little later he sat at his desk, busy with cardboard and wrapping paper. He placed the photograph inside the card board, wrapped 1t securely. Then he took pen and ink and wrote an address.
 Afterward, because he was not in the least sleepy, he put on his coat, went down stairs and left the house. He walked two locks until he reached q mail box and dropped the package inside.

 When economical meals must be served, much thought and plan ming are required to prevent them from becoming monotonous. Ger calls always are comparatively low-cost foods and can be used to advantage not only as breakfast dishes but also as substantial hot main dishes for supper or lunch con. Such dishes are exceedingly desirable for children. Combined with cheese, ham or bacon, toma- 10 in some form, onions, peppers, nuts and q goodly variety of sea- sonings, they mako savory concoc- tions that are easily prepared and nourishing as well as economical.
 Baked mush au gratin is a good example of a hearty cereal dish that is simple and inexpensive to make but of great food value.
 Baked Musfl au Gratin
 Four cups boiling water, 1 cup cornmeal. 1 1-2 teaspoons salt, 1 cup grated cheese, paprika, toma- to sauce.
 Add salt to boiling water and slowly sift in cornmeal, stirring vigorously. Cook and stir until thick and smooth, stirring occa- sionalIy to prevent burning, for fifteen minutes longer. Turn. into a loaf pan and let stand until cold and firm. Turn out and cut in half inch slices. Arrange in a buttered baking dish, sprinkle each slice with grated cheese, pa- prika and dots of butter and bake In a slow oven for twenty five minutes. Serve with we'll seasoned tomato sauce.
 Spanish Rice
 One Bermuda onion, 2 table spoons butter or bacon fat, 2 green peppers, 1-2 cup brown rice, 2 cups canned tomatoes, 1 tea spoon salt, IA teaspoon pepper.
 Melt butter or fat in frying pan and add onion and peppers finely minced. Cook five minutes. Add tomatoes. Sprinkle rice over tor and season with salt and pepper Cover frying pan and cook ovei a low fire for one hour. As soor as rice begins to absorb tomato juice watch and stir occasionall, to prevent sticking and burning
 Samp and Nuts One-half cup samp, table spoon butter. 1-2 teaspoon poultry seasoning, 1 cup broken nut meats 1-2 cup cream. 1-2 teaspoon salt 1-4 teaspoon pepper.
 Soak samp over night in cold water. Cook in boiling saltet water until tender. Then add but ter. nuts and seasoning. Cook un. til cream Is absorbed and serve at once.

If you want to step lightly throueh the New Year, plan to take n little extra care of your feet.
 In the first place, do your shoes really fit Each pair of shoes. in- cluding your best dancing pumps. should be purchased with an eye fo comfort as we'll as to beauty. You can buy the loveliest, dainti- est shoes on the market without sacrificing comfort if you take little time and get a salesman Wno really knows how to fit your feer. Shoes that are too short. too mar row, or. yes. too big, simply ruin your posture as well as your dis position. It may seem Q little ln- congruous, but shoes which are badly fitted do make lines across foreheads and around eyes.
 For walking and working, why not get shoes with sensible heels? Though there Is no reason in the world why high-heeled shoes cant fit and be comfortable to wear.
 Be careful about corns, cal- louses and bunions. If you do get a small corn, go to reliable foot doctor right away. He can remove 1t scientifically, whereas you, your self. can't.
 Never cut corns and don't try to treat bunions unless and until you have been advised by a phy- sician.
 Small callouses often can be re- moved by vigorous rubbing with a rough towel. A foot cream helps too..

Cutting up 6 chicken for a fric- assee is not q difficult job if proper tools and procedure are used. Get q butcher knife with an S-inch blade and c one-piece bake-lite handle that is easy to grasp, and can be immersed In boiling water without damage. The stainless steel clean blade must be sharp. A dull knife that will not hold its edge makes the work just that much harder.
 Cut the legs and wings from tho chicken and then sever them again at tho Joints. Do not forc0 the blade, but use n drawing stroke and seek out. the joints rather than try to cut through q bone.

 Juliet France turned again to the piano. She played a. waltz with Il gay Spanish rhythm and then something in slower tempo, haunt ingly sad and sweet.
 "Tht's lovely" Mrs Hewlett said. Just lovely! I don't know how long it's been since anyone's touched that piano. 1t does sound so good
 Bannister agreed with her. But if wasn't fair to keep their guest at the piano an evening. He asked Juliet if she would care to play bridge.
 "Im sorry" the girl apologized, but Pm awfully stupid at bridge. I always have been. If you don't mind I think I'd like to go to my room. That was such a huge meal I ate" She turned to Mrs Hewlett, smiling. "Pm afraid I'm sleepy"
 "Then of course you'll go to your room, my dear" the older woman said. "I hope you get good nights rest"
 A few moments later Juliet left them. Kate Hewlett had taken up her basket of knitting from the table. For 20 minutes there was no sound except the clicking of the knitting needles. Then Mrs Hew- lett said, "Daviu!"
 He looked up from his magazine. "Yes?"
