CHAPTER xXyIII

Ruth said proudly. "Once dem 0nstrator in department store let me try one, just for fun. I got along very well with 1t. I'd need to practice a little with your ma chine, of course"
 Florence McNeill Burr's husband and twin daughters were going to live. The miraculous was to hap pens after all. Broken bones had been set and wounds sewed. X-ray machines showed no internal in- jusies. The little girls had regained consciousness before their grand mother and Uncle John arrived, and Eiwell Burr was now emerging from the slight concussion which had caused the doctors worry.
 All were in the hospital. Mrs. McNeill and her daughter re- 1nained there through the uncertain hours of Tuesday, while John stayed ot the Burr home to attend to the telephone calls that poured in. The brilliant young Elwell Burr stood high in the councils of the capitol. Both government heads and newspapers were con- cerned over the accident.
 By Tuesday evening the real strain was over. With patience and careful nursing, the doctors agreed, all three would pull through nicely. It was then that John felt free to go home to Worth vile.
 He said, "Florenoe doesn't need rne any longer, Mother. You'll stay. Gf oourse. I think I'll catch a night train out"
 He was needed at the factory, but that was not his first concern. He wanted desperately to see Ruth. Some foreboding, some inner un- eesiness was clutching at him now that he had time to stop and think. His not to explain his departure had been so short. Too frail cord to hold her, fin case she should de- eide to leave. He could not remem- ber what he had written to Ruth that concerned just himself and her except, "Wait for mel" He re- nembercd writing that command 0v was it plea?--with @ boyishly Desperate intensity Suppose

 There are two attractive ways to serve croutons. Ono way is to pass them to each person for him to help himself, or. if the soup is served by the man-o f-the-house at the table. English style, he drops one or two tablespoons Of croutons int peach plate as he serves 1t.
 Toast sticks are what their name implies, sticks of toast. The bread is cut in strips about 3-4 inch thick and 3-4 inch wide and inches long. It is then toasted in a hot oven and served, unbuttered, like crackers. Each person helps him self and buffers his stick or not as he prefers.

PARIS STYLES

United Press Staff Corrcspondcnt)
 Paris - (UP) = Furs dyed to match exactly the shade of the cloth coat they trim have a prom inent place in winter collections. For daytime wear. browns, blacks. deep eggplant purples and blues are favored with a trimming of short haired furs, but for the one exception of fox.
 A deep, misty slate blue prom ises to be particularly smart. One house shows a double-breasted coat edged in double rows of wide, stitched tucking which appear at the hem line and continue up to the, wide, squared revers. Two rows of large, round blue buttons trim the front, and the belt is bucK1ed in the same blue composition ma tcrtal as tho buttons. Wide cuffs of baby seal, which has been dyed the same shade of slate blue, are applied an inch or so above the wrist, while the same fur makes a wide at and squared rever just an inch smaller than the cloth rever below 1t. A slate blue cloth cap rises to c peak which is crushed to one side and the edge of the cap Is banded by slate blue baby seal.
 Even more startling is Helm

Hair that Is arranged smooth iy backward from the face and forehead gives the face A clean cut, well groomed look and makes the profile more interesting. This is something the Hollywood stars learn as soon as they are put into the hands of tho excellent hair drcssers and beauticians of the various studios. To prove this. all you have to do is look at q few before and after pictures of Various stars.
 For instance, when hed-headed Janet Gnynor first played in pie lures, her hair was fuzzy instead of sleek and allowed to pillow about her cheeks and to dip far down over her forehead. Her widows peak was lost completely. Her nice profile was hidden. Even her eyes wero overshadOwed.
 Now, however, thanks to the cOiffure experts and to new trend in hair styles, Janet's fam ing locks are shorter and they're brushed backward from her face. Her widows peak shows. Her AdC0 HhD d hU1tSh AVVA ~hS A'~~ eyes are accentuated.
 If you like little curls just in fornt of your ears. see that they are extremely small and not eBpe- cially fluffy. Remember that parts which do not extend all the way from front to back generally are more fattering. Try shorter parts, perhaps even 6 crooked one that slants upward from the middle of your head.
 Remember. too, that nat line across the back adds allure to a nicely shaped head. Most of the Hollywood stars have the front and sides waved bdt wear tho back perfectly straight. Virginia Bruce, 10 mention one, has two wide svaves on the left side of her head, one on the right. 8 large bun at tho back and not even q suggestion of a wave about 1t.

 "scarletina" are only other names ft: scarlet fever, that the most dangerous time, 50 far as spread. ing the disease is concerned, is in the first two or three days before the rash is well out. Likewise in measles, the disease is most like y to spread in the first three or 10 IF days, before the rash appears. Incidentally, no child should ever be admitted to school who has any, thing that purports to be Q "cold" &=and no teacher who purports to ha Q a slight cold" should be per- nitted to remain in school a mo. ment. In any circumstances any one who purpOrts to have "cold" should be Yekarded with suspicion. Heaven only knows what such a scoundrel may spread among all w.!o are so unfortunate iis to come within range - conversat ational range.

 I heard an interesting argument the other day concerning the teach- ing of religion to young children. Three mothers. all up on their reading and aware of the influences in the world today, each had a different idea about t.
 T won't sent Mary to Sunday Bcho0fr one remarked. I'm not going to have her set . jumbied idea of what it'G ail about. It makes me ehiver 10 Hear friends teil about the funny things their youngstefs say in their prayers"
 well" said another. we learned that way. If we hadn't fnayi5e. we never would have be- lieved anytlfing. And even if they don't eet a clear idea of what it's afi about, they sense something. It can be strafshtened out later"
 Then wh y not wait?" observed the first. CT wish my parents had let me wait. I still have q hard time trying to get All the wrong ideas absorbed then to it in with my ideas now. one day I'm one way and the next, day another. can't get any fixed view in my mind about anything. All I know is that I try to believe in q God"
 New Approach to Religion. The third now spoke up. Sun day schools go about 1t differently now. They teach things that chil- aren can understand and don't try to expound the catechiSnh to bab- isss. ..
 without church and n y schools" the first young mother remarked.
 50 do I, in z way" put in the second. But i think that church does something. 1t keeps things going If thers had not been any church a1i these years ,and we had depended on the flowers and trees to teach us about our spirits and good win to otir neighbors, we might be believing fin ten thousand sinister devils in every room in the house.
 People have to believe some thing. They always have. I think we would all be so expectations 1t would be dreadful. If some people think we are superstitious in our religion today, wonder what we would be without 1t? Of course you get a broader and moro intelligent view of things when you learn to think for yourself"
 Puzzlcmcnt Is Beneficial. Then Number Tsiree spoke up again. You said while ago Mary, that you were all mixed up One day. I suppose you mean, you afe fundamental and the other modern. Do you know, I think that's a good thing?
 "Whsn. people begin to think and worry about the way to in. terpret. God and otir own souls 1t shows the matter is keeping alive in their hearts. None of ui can fix 1t. Ali the preachers know that on one can fix 1t to every. ones satisfaction. But I agree with Katharine here, that you have to have some start when you're little. What if thought does change It changes all the time about ! everything. Anyway I am going tc teach Davy about faith and trust and good if can. think the world is starving for a little faith tr something besides itself" We might get under the words of these young women and do some thinking ourselves, those among ui who are perpiexed about this prob. lem of religion for our youth and little folk.
