with the "Aurora's Wedding" of the

The Hundred Kisses" which Bron-

written by Frederic d'Erlanger with

headed by the great Massine. Small

You may question the story in one

Evelyn Laye has an exactirfg task

everything for a career and she ages
with perfection, in the latter reels,

One day the expert painfully ar

minute the dummy went down he
was kind enough to inform his adver-
saries that the hand would probably
take quite bit of figuring.

The devices here shown are the
authentic armorial bearings Of the
distinguished Washington family of
England, and their descendants in
America who have played such an
important part in the history Of this
Nation.
The name Washington was an early
Saxon one existing in Britain even
before the Norman conquest. There
is also a village in England called
Washington. chartered by King Ed
ward in 973 AID. This village. now
called Wharton, is located in the
North Riding of Yorkshire.
The ancestral home of the English
Washingtons was Sulgraye Manor,
beautiful estate in Northamptonshire
built by the Hon. Laurence Washing
ton, mayor of Northampton. The
first representatives of this noted
family in America were John and
Lawrence Washington, brothers. They
came to Virginia during the early
days of colonization and both were
very active in the Colonial wars in
Virginia and Maryland. John Wash
ington was made colonel. while Law
renee served as captain Of militia.
Lawrence was also member Of the
Virginia House of Burgesses.

The American home Of the WASH

The American home Of the WASH
ington family was Wakefield, in
Westmoreland County, Va. 1t was
there that George Washington was
born and the house is now restored
and preserved as q memorial to the
''first in war, first in peace and the
first in the hearts of his country
men"
Much has been written about the
life and character of George Wash
ington, but comparatively little has
been told Of his brilliant ancestry.
Authentic genealogy has traced his
lineage through generations of aris-
tocracy, nobility and royalty. His
line has been accurately proved to
descend from the Saxon Kings of
England. Kings Of Scotland and mon
archs of France and Spain. His an
cestry is traced through two lines to
Alfred the Great Of England He was
a lineal descendant of Hugh Capet
Of France and King John of England.
He derived his blood from the great
of the earth and throughout his life
he maintained the dignity of his dis
tinguished heritage.

~AN you find the profile of a

BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
GO MANY of the chace occurrences
~ which mar the childs normal
progress toward good habits of all
kinds would be dropped quickly II
mothers had the good sense to ignore
them. Nothing haloes bad behavior
and inspires its repetition like pun
iShment.
Apparently punishment-being un-
pleasant-should deter the child from
further acts of the same kind. In
theory it should; in practice 1t does
not. On the contrary it puts a
premium upon bad behavior. Having
erred and been punished the child
is relieved of any further responsible
ity for that kind of behavior. He has
taken his punishment and SO the slate
is wiped clean. He can go out and
sin some more.
After punishment, the child too
often makes the discovery of how he
can get mothers goat" Anger is
an illuminating thing and destroys
what can be the parents chief de-
fense against the child's acts-her
apparent indifference to them. Mis-
behavior loses its flavor when no one
seems to care.
Also, punishment makes the child
mad and, when one is mad, child
or adult, the next step is to do some
thing that will arouse a like emotion
in the other fellow. To perpetrate
more mischief is calculated to &C
complish that purpose,
None Of this is clear to the child
himself. But any parent who will
take the trouble to analyze the re-
suits of punishment will have an
opportunity to see what is happening
She will note whether the punishment
ended the bad behavior permanently
or only for the moment.
She will note whether the child's
reaction to the punishment was acute
resentment. She will note whether
the child repeated the act with no
observable resentment toward the
parent but just as if the punishment
had never been given. She will note
whether the child is being deliberate
~ disobedient with the full intention
of getting back" at her.
When the mother will honestly OBJ
serve and evaluate the effects of the
punishment she doles out she need
not ask any one but herself whether
It is really corrective. She may de-
eide that it were better to ignore
some chance bad behavior rather
than actually to encourage its repe-
tition by Furnishing.
