EY YOUR
 CHILDREN
By Oiwe Roberts Barton 305l N N9z sf61le9. Me

It makes anyone unhappy to be afraid. Certainly it makes children miserable, but there are times when 1 think we must be taking this matter of fear too seriously where they are concerned.
 We want to keep fear out of our makeup as much as possible, nat urally, but certain dreads have ever been part of mans experience and probably always will be. I do not think mothers need to feel as guilty as they often do when their children fear the dark or won't go near water, or have any of the hundred other obsessions that bounce down from nowhere in spite of our guarding and care. Who can tell where fear comes from?
 Ridiculc Sets Terror
 There are certain varieties that children seem to be born with. They take only the flick of finger to arouse. Again it happens that two children in the same family with precisely the same handling and the same experiences will re- act oppositely to danger. or what they think is danger. Therefore temperament must have lot to do with it.
 It is wise, of course. to try to keep unnecessary experiences out of child's life. Ridicule only sets and deepens terror. Once fear shows itself, why worry? Or worry too much. at any rate?
 For one thing, children f n get over certain dreads when they are old enough to reason the mat ter out. Unless, of course. the trouble has gone so deep as to cause mental scar. In such q case (once 1t Is recognized) 1t should be dealt with carefully in- decd, and even scientifically, and the parent would do well to con suit the specialist for expert ad- vice.
 The point is that. although some obsessiOns are serious, think 1t unnecessary to call every thing of the sort an abnormality.
 Invention Needed
 The wise way is to accept the child's natural shrinkings as we'll nigh inevitable and deal with them as our wits permit. Talking Is almost useless. Think. Did anyone ever talk you out of a real dread? Yet you have ability to req son. Shanting is cruel and out of the question. Add humiliation to fear and you have a mess indeed.
 What we parents need to culti- vate Is invention. We have to think up the case and then go after 1t quietly and logically with out too much bother and fuss.
 admired one young mother greatly. Her little boy. formerly brave, began to imagine things in the dark. He never had heard a story to suggest fear of the dark that she knew of or been. threatened or varied. Like dozen other things 1t just came.
 She bought him q cheap fash light. His pride in 1t worked the miracle. Even after 1t was broken he took 1t along in the dark when he went upstairs. After n bit he went without 1t. It cured him. Another mother oyercame her small boys terror of a pony by getting his hero, a lad of fourteen, to ride the pony. Then Teddy was asked to ride in front. Next the boy-friend led Teddy on the pony And at least sonny was going it alone all over the ranch.
 The hero influence. by the way, Is the answer to a lot of problems. But as to fear, bit of ingenuity and tact will work miracles. Copyright 1895. NEA Service Incl

The woman who Is anxious to look particularly well in evening clothes should give her back, shoulders and arms daily beauty treatment. She can't care for them in haphazard manner day after day. give them thorough going-over the night of party and expect to look as expertly groomed as the girl who uses bath brush and body lotions every night of her life.
 A long-handled bath brush is undoubtedly the greatest boon to back and shoulder beauty. You should use 1t each time you take bath, whether tub or shower Get one with fairly flexible bristles that won't scratch tender skin but which are strong enough to stiin- ulate circulation and cleanse the pores. Always rinse carefully.
 When yod have finished your bath and dried with rough towel (also good for circulation), apply a body oil or lotion to shoulders, arms and back. There are excel. lent ones on the market today and a large bottle lasts long time.
 If, from time to time, small blemishes appear on your back, betetr pa ystricter attention to your diet. Maybe you're eating too many sweets and fats. Per- haps you aren't drinking enough water or getting the right amount

 CHAPTER xXXI
 ssYour office Is calling, sir" the maid said timidiy from the door. 'igomething important, they said"
 Peter smiled grimly. Something Important! Susan, I'm shutting this place up for a while. I'll give you and Evans and Rose each a months salary in advance"

 Would you have believed it?" Rose shook her head. Didn't know when she was well off-Mr Peter so handsome and rich and dOting on her so."
 Susan shook her head. I knew all the time something was wrong. They liked each other fine. but they didn't act natural to my mind. Mrs Kendalrs maid said he was engaged to Miss Bennett a long time and they quarreled and so he married Mrs Kendall to spite her"
 That fashy blond who was here yesterday" snapped the cook. T don't believe 1t. MT Peter has eyes. Wouldn't surprise me if that one didn't make trouble while she was here. Where do you reckon Mrs Kendall went?"
 Peter was wondering where Ann had gone. To Sarah's? To her for mer home in Greenfield? Then came the thought plunging him into torment. She had gone to Tonys The idea was like a thou sanA devils destroying him. If he dida't put it aside 1t would drive him mad.
 He must get away from this place where Ann had been, where he had been building up hope after hope, where his love had grown until nothing else seemed worth while in life.

COSTUMES PROBLEM
 CREATES TWO DISTINCT STYLES
Cocktail GO1Cst For MOdeynS
By JEAN PATOU

DARIS.-In former days, the smart woman invariably wore a formal afternoon dress for a luncheon engagement and afterward for tea, but she never would have dreamed of appearing in it for or after dinner.
 Today there are two schools of feminine elegance, traditionalists faithful to the formal although modernists who wear simple much simplified silk dress; and wool, or perhaps wool-appearing silk dress right up to the cocktail hour. The latter school, of course, never stops for tea
 My recent collection shows the increasingly important place oc- cuDied by the afternoon dress. This designation, by the way, in- actually classified as sports-even eaAO bSW SOShbuit CitnCiHplcbs
 Slim Skirts Featured
 The afternoon frock, ranging from the informal jerseys and hevaier cloque silks, satins, erepes and georgette, show the slimmest of slim skirts, usually slit In front or on the sides for walking. Trim mings vary from simple lingerie touches to glittering marcassite buckles or buttons, and elaborate ly lace trimmed sheer lingerie trimmings.
 Sleeves are more or less intri- cate, harmonizing with the gen. eral character of the gown, but never very voluminous, as they have to be worn under a coat.
 The cocktail dress is simple of line because 1t, too, is worn un- der an afternoon coat. It's slight ly longer hem, just reaching to the ankle, distinguishes 1t imme- diately. The decollete, usually high in front, is slit in one or several places at the back, or, newer still, the back is yelled in various subtle ways to add in- terest.

 Perhaps after il while, he would sell the place. But not now. Not for a long while. He wondered if the time would ever come when he would be willing for anyone else to own Ann's home. He had planned it, even to the smallest details, with the thought of her happiness and comfort. He had pictured the soft, imported rugs here, beautiful drapeies. the furniture, things she had chosen.

self against this final blow to her
hopes. But I can't go back, Miss
little. I'd rather die"
Miss little went on as though
Christell had not spoken. You're
too beautiful. No man could pos
sibly keep his mind on business with
you in his Office. He might enjoy
looking at you, but he wouldn't ex-
pect any real work from you"
Miss Title opened her purse and
began to count out the train fare.
Christell drew on her shabby gloves
and shook her head. IT can't take
your money, Miss little. All want
from you is the name of some bust
ness man who needs a stenographer. 3"
Miss Title looked for long min
ute into the steady young face and
then she sighed. "All right, child"
She scrubbed a name and address
and handed it to Christell. II be-
lieve there is something worth while
behind that pretty face. Real cour-
age-"
Christell smiled weakly as she hur-
ried down the street.
She turned into 10-cent store
and ordered rolls and coffee. AS she
sat at the counter eating she thought
Of what Miss little had said. Maybe
it was true. And If it was there was
just one thing to do. She would stop
being beautiful.
Before she left the store she had
bought a pair of glasses, ratty
switch and a box of brownish powder.
The next morning Robert Carr, ST.,
glanced at the bespectacled little per-
son who sat beside his desk. The I'M
becoming gray dress, the sallow COM
plexion and the drab hair all spelled
competence. "Al right, Miss Hud-
son." he said briskly. We'll give you
O trial"
He led her into another office. Bob,
this is your new stenographer, Miss
Hudson"
Christell found herself looking into
q pair of silver-f1ecked gray eyes. He
was the handsomest man she had
ever seen. But he was also the most
sullen.
Nov, see here dad" he began, Il
am perfectly able to hire my own
Office help"
The older man glared. I'm still
boss around here. After the trouble
you had with that Garry Hanson I
should think you'd want my judg-
ment in these matters. This is a
business office, you know, not a movie
set" He stamped out Of the room
and slammed the door.
Christell saw young Bob Cars jaw
set in q hard line. He gave her one
long, unfiattering look and then took
up a paper. Take letter, please,
Miss-HudSon."
Her hands trembled as she found
her notebook and pencil. A strange
