and said. q love young people. my dear. And you are young. Beauti- Lfully young! That's why I'm go- ing to push you over this cliff. That's why"
 Gale sat up in the darkness. She was cold and for an instant did not know where she was. Then she realized what had hap pened. It was a dream, of course a silly, disgusting dream. She was here in her own room. in her own bed. There was no cliff and no Miss Groves.
 The bed coverings lay in a twisted heap on the floor. Gale pulled them up, smoothed them into place and lay down again. But 1t was a long time before she could go to sleep. The dream had been lingly real. And though Miss cliff she might, next day, do might take her job away from her. T mustn't keep thinking about it," Gale told herself. Tt doesn't do any good"
 She thought about it next day. though, when she saw Leota Bol- Ter in the cafeteria. Gale turned away quickly. hoping Leota had not seen her, but minute later the other girl was beside her.
 "Hello," Leota said. "Where've you been keeping yourself lately |? I haven't seen you for long time"
 "I've been right here"
 Well. we'll have to get together some time," Leota went on bright ly. Some night after work, or maybe Sunday. Are you going to be busy next Sunday"
 I'm afraid l am," Gale told her.
 "Well. I'll see you later anyhow, Got to run along now" Leota drifted away. Josie Grid ley set down her cup of coffee and looked at Gale. T don't see why you have anything to do with a tattle-tale like her." Josie said. "I don't want to-"
 The other girls eyes narrowed wisely. There's things going on around her." she said, "a lot of people would give a good deal to know about"

 "I'll tell you some time, but not now. And don't think I don't know what I'm talking about"
 You usually do," Gale assured her.
 Suddenly Josie had new in- terest. Listen, Gale" she said. do you think there'd be any way to fix over that old brown crepe of mine to make 1t look sort of diff ferent? I've worn 1t two winters, but the materials still good. l thought maybe could get q piece of pla:d and put a collar on 1t and maybe belt. Do you think so?"
 "I don't see why you couldn't" Gale told her.
 Well, will you help me with 1t? I'm not very good at cutting things out. got pattern magazine the other day and it's got some swell styles in 1t. If I come over tonight and bring the dress will you look at 1t and see what you think 1 could do with it?"
 "Why, of course"
 "Then I'll come. After dinner, around o'clock"
 "All right" Gale said. "1'll be looking for you"
 A girl in a green wool dress crossed the room and paused be- side the table where the girls sat. She was a stenographer from the business office. She looked from one to the other and said, "Is one of you Gale Henderson?
 "I am," Gale told her.
 The girl said, When you've fin- ished your lunch will you stop In the main officer"

CODDLdNG AND FORCING BOTH
 KILL COURAGE.
&sZKa1 sz1zszz &

What would you do if your little boy came in crying because some | fellows hit him with snowballs? Would you kiss him and wipe of his face and call those boys names for hurting your darling, hand him
 a painful of chocolate buds and
 then turn your guns on the enemy
 outside? Or would you say,
 "Shame on you for big cry-baby
 You go right out and make some
 hard ones and hit them back?"
 One is coddling and the other
 forcing. Both are considered bad
 business as we look at 1t now, be-
 cause 1t is pretty well known that
 courage cannot be inoculated in-
 to makeup by increasing fear.
 This little chap was out with a cronle making a snow man of parts when the school gang went by and opened fire. The side-kfck
 wasn't afraid of snowballs and gave as good as he got although his aim was faulty.
 And what did Number One see a few minutes later when he lock- ed out of the window but his | friend turned traitor and frater- aizing with the enemy!
 l Solving His Own Problem. His mother decided not to do anything but let Johnny work out | his own problem. She neither pet ted nor scolded. She watched. She knew he was envious of his friends courage and wishing he had stayed to mix around with | the others. Would he be afraid to go out now and risk their jeers? That, too, would take cour- age. Would he do it? He might get into another barrage the min- ute they sighted him.
 A "Mom, can I have some apples?" Oh. so he was going to buy his | way. Pretty smart but not worthy of him, she decided. "No, Johnny. no apples"
 There they were at the snow man now. They were shaping him up and adding accessories. His longing grew. Which would win? | Fear or desire?
 She hurried his decision a little "Why don't you take off your things if you are going to stay in the house?"
 "I'm going out again."
 Off he marched. Hello, what are you doingY" he caIied.' Crossing Rubicon. That centered attention on him at once. One of the boys picked up handful of snow and let 1t fly. It hit Johnny on the shoul- der. He marched right on. Soon he was right in the middle or things. No one noticed him par ticularly after a minute or both cred him. The gang had an en- crossing interest now, more im- partant than he was.
 But his mother knew that the trip from the front steps across the yard was more than met the eye. It was Rubicon. Her boy had committed himself to courage. Never again would he be. afraid of @ snowfall. And never again would he be afraid of that crowd either. In fact, a bit later they were exchanging compliments a. gain. John was pelted too. He gave and he took. One more world conquered. A better man than he had been that morning. A braver one than he had been
 Children daily do this very thing. Through interest and long, ing they overcome their own ten dencies to certain fears. We do not realize 1t, but with time and opportunity they do a lot of their own saving. Let us give them Copyright 1885. NEA Service. Inc.

TEA LEAF POULTICE FOR BURNS

bO1t bOANO
 Popular magazines have recent | ly described in the usual extrav- agant fashion the alleged discov- cry by factory physician Of the efficacy of tannic acid treatment for burns.
 The Pittsburgh Medical Review, May 1890, contained a report of the effects of such treatment of burns. It gave simple instruc- tions, as follows:
 A five per cent solution Is
 squeezed from sponge over
 the denuded (raw) surface,
 which is then dressed with
 soft ointment (say soft par
 affin, or as 1t is more com
 monty called in this country, petrolatum or petroleum jelly) with or without tannin. Pain im-
 meditaely abates, and the
 healing process is Wonderfully
 rapid. The tannin (tannic
 acid) solution must, of course,
 be freshly applied as often
 as the dressing is renewed.
 To that would add the advice to renew or disturb the dressing ONLY when discomfort demands it. once any burn, would or raw surface is clean and in condition to heal, the less frequently It IS dressed or handled or disturbed or moved unnecessarily, the more satisfactorily will 1t heal. Tannin or jamie acid is q strongly astrin- gent brownish white shiny sub' stance obtained from nutgalls, su- mac and tea. Coffee contains lest jamie than tea.
 Tea or coffee made without boil ing contains less tannin than dc the same beverages off the pleas ant aroma of coffee or Of tea That's why say it is a crime tt boil the coffee, and when you smcl coffee before you get down t' breakfast the cook should be sen fenced forwith. Tannin is not bit ter at all, but, oh, gosh, how does pucker up things and. harder your insides. Tannin (tannic acid) is not s' soluble in warm water as 1t Is Il boiling water. tt
 Way back in 1871, Dr. w.. H Searles, warsaw, Wisconsin, pup lishcd in the Chicago Medical Ex umIncf NApTll IbbuSJ hS boHiNi ' remedy for burns, reporting It successful use in the case or child who had been terribly burne' over the entire front of the bod! arms and legs, by a kettle of he water the child had upset upoi itself. Dr Searles prepared larg poultice of tea leaves, softenir the leaves with hot water, and ap piled 1t while yet quite warm, upo cotton wool q suggest that steril gauge would be better) over th entire burned surface. Almos like magic the suffering abatc' and, without the use of any 0the lanodyne, the child soon fell lnt a quiet sleep. In few hours removed the application, and reap piled 1t where 1t was necessary. found the parts discolored and ap parently tanned. Tenderness ha' disappeared little patient mad q good recovery in about thrc weeks. Since then on several DC casions 1 have had reason to rec ommend tea leaves, till now hay come to prefer it to all other rem edies in the first stage of burn and scalds q.
 1, (old Doc Brody) suggest tha the tea leaves be made into poui tice with BOILING water rathe than just hot water.
 Ordinary green tea is oke 10 such a poultice, but black tea con tains more tannin and would prop ably be even better.

But in the last analysis all such ideas are beside the real point which is to try to build a cooperative world where both men and women shall fulfill. their separate functions In the great society which shall be neither manrmade nor woman made but just q Great Society oi mutual helpers and workerp.

Gales heart missed beat. She said then, in a low, level voice, i've finished. I'll go right away"
 She followed the girl across the cafeteria, wondering how many people were watching her. She wondered why 1t happened that she was going to get the notice at noon instead of at the end of the days work. l didn't make any difference, of course. It was strange, now that 1t had happened now that she knew she was to be discharged, that she didn't feel worse about 1t. She walked down the corridor beside the girl Tn green and thought, "Everything' going on, just the way it was"
 "In here" the other girl said opening q door. of you'll sit down I'll tell MT Westmore you're here.' Gale turned, bewildered and opened her mouth to ask a ques- tion, but the girl had gone into a private office opening from the large one. A moment later she was back.
 "Mr Westmorc Is ready to see you," she said. You can go right in."
 But MT Wcstmore--" "He's ready to see you," the girl repeated, and went to Q desk before which she sat down.
 Gale walked to tho private office and pushed the door open. She saw Brian Westmore sitting at d desk inside, saw him get 10 his feet and come forward, smiling.
 "Come on in," he said, eagerly. Glad to see you"
 The door closed behind Gale. "I don't understand" she said slowly. Was it you who sent for me?"
 "Of course. It's been a long time since I've seen you and this was the only way I could think of to arrange 1t. asked Miss Young to bring you here. Hope you don't mind breaking into your lunch hour--it semeed the simplest time Suddenly he stopped. Why. what in the world is the matter?" he asked.
 Gale couldn't help it. There were tears in her cyes--tears of relief. She turned away, to hide them, groped in pocket for her handkerchief. She said, Its noth- ing"
 But there is something! l wish you'd tell me what 1t is.'
 "It's nothing" Gale repeated skating her head. "I thought when that girl said for me to come to the main office 1 thought l was going to be--fired. I'm just crying because I'm so--glad"
 The handkerchief was not in het pocket. Gale tried to blink the tears away, tried without success
 "Ilcrc." Brian said, take this handkerchief" He gave her large one from his coat pocket. "I wa. an idiot" he said contritely. ." didn't mean to frighten you. Why wouldn't do that for the world Please don't feel that way abou It. Please" He put a hand or her shoulder, comforting, encour aging.

CHAPTER XXvI

CdAPIER AANl
 For week Gale went to the mill, expecting that every day would bring q dismissal slip. But nothing happened-nothing out of the ordinary. Willie O'Connor, trying to climb on the roof of the old Willis place, fell and sprained an ankle and had to hobble about on an improvised crutch. Josie Gridley bought a coat at Snyder's { late winter sale. 1t was green with brown fur and Josie displayed 1t proudly. The coat wasn't very warm but 1t was better than the one she had been wearing. And where could you find anything with as much style for $29.95?
 Katie Shantz surprised everyone by going over to Crystal City one night and marrying the young man she had been going around with for three months. Both of them kept on working at the mill Katie, bright-eyed and wearing a ring with q sparkling set in 1t that had been bought for $5 down." She and her young husband moved in with Katie's parents.
 The other girls discussed Katie's romance, but Gale had little to say. She wasn't looking well. Her father noticed this and asked anxiously If she was eating enough. Gale said she was. though 1t was true she had little appetite. She had trouble going to sleep nights and, when she did, slept restless ly, tormented by dreams.
 Miss Groves figured In these dream frequently and so did Leota Boiler. One night Gale thought that she was in Q forest and had lost her way. It was growing darker every moment and she was becoming frightened. All at once she heard a fearful growing. She began to run, not knowing where she was going, but deeper and deeper into the woods. The grow ing continued and seemed to draw nearer. Gale looked back and saw a Hon, running with it's mouth open, it's cruel teeth glittering. She ran faster and faster and all at once the trees disappeared and she was on high cliff. She kep; on running, the lion drawing closer. It was so close now that she could hear its breathing. She reached the edge of the cliff and, looking down, saw water churning against the rocks below. She turned and suddenly the lion was Miss Groves. Miss Groves was wearing her blue dress with white at her throat and about the wrists and she had rose In her hair. She came forward, smiling,

PARIS STYLES

Paris. (UP)-If all the hair ornaments in Paris were placed end to end and wrapped around the world, there still would be enough left over to scatter about the globe as stars, moons ana comets.
 A great many ornaments in this class have. moreover, been inspired by the signs of the zodiac ano heavenly cancellations. Chahel launched this vogue some time ago by showing her costly collection or jewels featuring stars and moons and celestial figures. Then the de. partment stores followed suit ana now little clusters of peweled stars on gold and silver stems like sprays decorate blonde and brunette. red and platinum tresses. The Duchess of Kent like a single silver star, worn on the left side of her hair above the ear and well toward the | forehead. :.
 Gold and silver leaves and flowers are favored in fronds which ] raech from ear to ear and are fast ened underneath by fine invisible rubber band. Transparent combs topped with ornamets in crystal,
 pearl, feathers, jewels. and fruit find favor with those who do not like to feel their heads hampered
