.S}7R YOUR
 CHILDREN
By Ol;ve Robe,ts Barton
67sS5 W x1z S1aVc1. zic

Asks a mother, What had l better do about a little neigh bor girl who won't stay at home? She does not seem to like her house and we all adore her, but am afraid we are doing harm by having her here so much.
 we do not spoil her. On the contrary we make her mind, and at home she has her own way pretty much. Another thing is that, young as she is not quite five she likes the way we eat. The other day she said she did not like to eat in the kitchen at home and our table looked so pretty it was like a party"
 Well-this is a problem. Just about the worst thing that can happen is for children to begin this comparison between their own homes and those of their friends. Solution Up to Parents
 The solution really rests with the parents, of the disgruntled child rather than the neighbors.
 We cannot send child home just because he e'likes us and prefers our way of doing things. Besides it is customary to feel that one is
 doing a favor by making the visi- tor happy if only for few hours day. And yet this correspond | ent sees beyond the surface and
 realizes the danger of deepening her visitors rebellion against | home conditions, whatever they are.
 As for eating in the kitchen this little Miss is young to be so fastidious. but it does not sur
 prise me because all children. even small ones, are far more choosey than most people realize. They like to be nice and clean, in spite of the operation necessary to achieve it. They like order and peace. They like pretty things too.
 There are kitchens and kitch- ems. Many are much preferable to dining-rooms we have seen. Therefore I do not think this small girl refuted the idea of the kitchen. as such, but probably be- cause it was mussy, hot or just
 plain ugly.
 Perhaps her plate is heaped up helter skelter, and the pans and milk bottles a D dish and pot litter all are too close for appe- tite. I have seen child of two refuse to eat second serving on the same plate if the plate were
 not entirely cleaned of first. So it is not extraordinary that our friend notices disarranged table or even a whole kitchen.
 The other matter however is more important. Why does she prefer this lady to her mother? Not knowing cannot say. But | there is some reason, be sure Perhaps there are other brothers and sisters and they bother her

mill. He's working there now. you know" Tom Henderson said, ''Well, I'm glad you got home safely. A storm like this Is liable to keep up all night" He moved toward the window and looked out. Tt looks bad" he continued. "Sit down Steve. Sit down and make yourself comfortable. I'm going to lie down for a while"
 Gale had taken off her coat and hat. "Is there anything you want father?"
 "No. Just going to lie down for little while. Feeling sort of tired"
 He was gone then. Gale looked at the young man across the room. Well" he said, "it certainly was nice that your friend, MT Vest more, came along just when he did. That car of his must be lot more comfortable than the bus" Steve" "What?"
 Are We going to go through this all over again?"
 II don't know what you're talk ing about"
 "Yes, you do. You know per- fectly well. But it happened ex- actly as l said it did. Honestly"
 "I don't doubt that" Then why are you talking the way you are?"
 Steve got up and came over be- side her. "I don't mean it', he said. I don't know what's the mat ter with me. Only when you see the girl you think more of than anyone else in the world with some other feIlow-a fellow who's got everything it's sort of hard to | take"
 She would have been defiant if he had continued to storm. This change of mood was different.
 q wish you'd understand" Gale said patiently. Brian Westmore isn't interested in me-" Then he must be crazy. He couldn't help 1t, Gale. A girl like you"
 She waved this aside. "But he isn't, I tell you All he talked about tonight was the mill. And he's not bit like you think he is, either. He's got ideas about mak- ing things better for the employees and paying us higher Wages. He told me about plan he's worked out"
 "Oh, did he?" A look of craft mess had come into Steve's face. Talked about the mill. did he? Listen, Gale, I should think you'd see through that sort of talk. You'd better watch your step If Brian Westmore talked to you about what's going on at the mill he's trying to pump you. Get informa- ton so they can work us harder, grind us down and make more money for the company" He wouldn't"
 "Wouldn't, huh? Say, don't make me laugh. If Brian Westmore wants to make things easier for employees and raise our pay, why doesn't he do 1t? Whats to stop him? It's his mill, isn't it?"
 But he isn't running the mill. It's Thatcher"
 "Then why doesn't he fire Thatcher? He certainly could do that. The whole things a pack of lies, a frame-up."
 Disbelief shone from the girls eyes. "No, Steve" she said. "I don't believe it. don't believe he'd do anything like that" "Then you're in love with him."
 She was on her feet, head high. "You mustn't talk like that, Steve" T know" Instantly he was con- trite. T shouldn't have said 1t. Forget it-won't you?" ] T will if you'll promise not to

say it again-not to even think it.
 "All right. I'll promise. But, just the same, I want you to remember what I've told you. There's lots going on we don't know anything about and it's risky trusting any one."
 Gale thought of Leota Boiler and her talk of "secret meetings Josie was sure that Leota was spy. But Brian Westmore-oh, no, that was impossible. she said. And I'll be careful. Come on-let's go over to O'Connors. Mrs O'Connor will be anxious to hear how Mary likes her new coat"
 They had to knock twice at the O'Connor's before anyone heard them. Then it was Katie who pulled the door open.
 "It's Gale" she called. Katie danced up and down with excite ment. "Come on in,' she said Pats here and he's playin' the loveliest music"
 Cav notes of "The Stars and Stripes Forever" from a harmonica interrupted. Mrs O'Connor came forward, limping slightly on her rheumatic knee. "Did you see Nary" she asked eagerly. How is she? Did the coat fit her all right? Oh, hello, Steve-here, both of you sit down by the fire.'
 There were a dozen persons in the room - little O'Connors curled up on a worn-out sofa; Timothy. their father, in chair tilted against the wall, smoking pipe; Pat Kelley, young and dark a relative occupying the center or the room, with the harmonica raised to his lips; his blond wife watching, admiringly; Michael Dln widdie and Willie O'Connor scut- | fling in a corner. The room was warm and smelled of cooking but nobody seemed to mind.
 "Mary's fine" Gale told Mrs lO'Connor. And she said the coat was perfect. She's going to try to get in and see you before long,
 And how's Frank? Did you see him?"
 No. He was working. Mary says he's getting along fine, though. They have nice little home,
 haven't they?"
 i The last words were lost in shriek from the scufflers. Timothy lO'Connor set the legs of his char on the floor soundly. Pipe down you two!" he said loudly, ana then tilted the chair back again. The Stars and Stripes Forever gave way to Ramona played with . nor said, "Pat plays real nice, doesn't he? I wish my children were musical"
 I'm musical, Nal" little Katie shrieked. I'm musical-look! She began beating time with a fork on Q chair back.
 Her mother managed osilence her, The O'Connors, as usual, were noisy and friendly and gay. Gale and Steve stayed for half an hour and then made their way across the street. At the door Steve said. Its time for me to be getting along. There's a Wallace Berry picture at the Strand tomorrow. Would you like to go?"
 'I'd love to-" Gale told him. but I'd better wait until tomorrow to let you know for sure. I'll see you after work" 70. K. Good night, Gale.N Good night"
 Half an hour later, lying in her l bed, Gale thought of what Steve had said about Brian Westmore. But of course Steve was mistaken. Brian wasn't trying to get infor- nation from her. He wouldn't use what she told him to make things harder for mill employees. No, of course not!
 But something was to happen next day that changed her mind. (TO Be .Continued)

 GALE HENDERSON, pretty ' and 23, works in a silk mill. She and her 10-year-old brother PHIL, support their invalid fa- fher.
 sTEVE MEYERS, who also works in the mill, asks Gale to 1nRrry him. She promises to give him an answer i'm q few days.
 Gale gOes skating, breaks through the-icc and is rescued by BRIAN WESTMORE. whose fa- ther, now dead, built the miiI' I3rians has come home after two years in Paris to enter the mill. Gale disappears before hc learns
 vICKY THATCHER, daughter 0g ROBERT THATCHER, gem eral manager of the mill, schemes to captivatc Brian.
 Gale goes on an errand Tor meIghbor. MRS O'CONNOR, which takes her into the country. It Is a stormy night and she misses the return bus. Brian comes along and takes her home. Az she gets out of the car she turns and faces Steve.
 z CHAPTER XXII
 Steve was not a dozen yards away. Even Brian recognized the constraint in the situation. lie looked from Gale to the young man and then back again at the girl. e"Oh," she said, "-hello, steve This is MT Westmore. MT west more, Steve Meyers--'
 How do you do." Steve's voice was too level, too cool. Your fathers been worried about you' he went on, to Gale. I've just been up somewhere"
 q didn't come on the bus" Gale told him. T missed it." She turned to Brian. "Td better go in," she said. Good night-and thank you for bringing me home"
 "Good night" Brian answered There was really nothing else ne could say, Who was this big sullen- eyed fellow anyhow? Brian won dered about it as he slipped into the car and drove away. was there something between those two! was Gale Henderson in love with thls- what had she called him ?-Steve Brian didn't like the idea. He did n't like 1t at all. It occurred to him suddenly how little he knew about the girl. Nothing, really, except that she'd gone to State at the same time he had, that shed want ed to be teacher and instead was working in the mill. And she's a darned nice girl. he added. "Darned nice." She hn nnirl1 her again. Oh, well, this town wasn't such a big place
 He drove on, wondering what to do with the rest of the evening. It had become suddenly distasteful to him and he didn't realize why.
 Meanwhile Gale was saying, "You're going to come in, aren't you, Steve?" "Oh--for few minutes. I guess. They went into the house. Tom Henderson appeared in the living room doorway. So Steve found you," he said to Gale. q was afraid something had happened. Was the bus late?"
 Gale shook her head. "I didn't come on the bus" she said. "I missed 1t. Brian Westmore brought me home"
 SBrian Westmore"
 sYes. He was coming along and saw the bus pull away and leave me- He stopped and said I could ride with him. We had to drive slowly because the road was so bad"
 You're sure it was Brian West more?"

 used to feel sorry for fat folk who wanted to reduce but couldn't. I have burned lot of gas, elec-' tricity, glycogen and tobacco seek ing an easier way out for these obese. Time and again in the 20 years I have engaged in interna- tional practice (of preventive medi- cine)-Wm Brady, M. D., D. F. M., speaking-I have perfected, as the Yankee notion has it, what seemed the reduction regime the oversize world had been waiting for. And like many another hero of medicine, I myself at length fell victim to the very disease was studying, and deep was my chagrin when tried one after an other of the wonderful reduction methods l had so heartily recom- mended to my clients all over the map. only to find that the remedy was worse than the disease.
 Nice how-de-do if 1t should get noised about that the reduction regime or Doc Brady is so earn estly recommending for his over weight clients doesn't seem to work so we'll in his own case. With that uncomfortable thought har- assing me, naturally tried to keep my full figure pictures out of he paper. To-day I have nothing to conceal from readers. I am happy to affirm and to demon strate to all and sundry that the latest method of reduction which I advocate worked perfectly in my own case.
 no longer waste any sympathy on overweight people, for I found it easy to reduce to correct weight and believe anybody whose gray matter has not all turned 10 adispose can achieve reduction as easily as I did.

I sec no more reason to criticize false hair than I do to find fault with rouge, powder, hpstick, finger waves and nailpolish. All of these are used to enhance natural beauty and to try to makes up for some of the things nature omitted. How can anyone approve of artificial color on the lips and then turn around to criticize artificial hair on the head? It just doesn't make sense.

 She may have to, give in to her little brother who takes her things away from her. Maybe her mama is impatient and irritable regard less of her lack of discipline. Any or all of a dozen reasons could account for the attraction of neighbours house.
