BY ANGELO PATRI,
MISS GRAY, please. could have

MISS GRAY, please. could have
a desk and chair like Lorrie's?"
| Miss Gray looked at the little figure
dressed in rompers and said: Let
me see. How long are your legs?"
They're quite long, Miss Gray"
Then. truth insisting. but not quite
as long as Lorrie's."
You sit down in your own chair
and let me measure. Hmm. They
are some inches shorter than the legs
of the desk chairs. See? Wen meas
ure the legs Of the desk chair and the
desk legs, too. Oh, they are long,
aren't they? Your feet would dangle
We will keep measuring, and the very
first day that your legs reach we will
give you the right-sized chair and
desk for them"
Am I too little, Miss Gray?"
"Oh, my, no. OF course not You
are quite as big as a 3-year-old girl
ought to be. You're just right for
yourself. you know"
"Oh, wouldn't like to be too small,
would I? But when grow I can
have chair and desk. I hope I
grow fast"
One has to be careful about such
ambitions. Al, children are eager to
grow up, to have what the older and
bigger ones have, to do what they do.
The child in the infant class longs
for a pile Of books to swing on a
strap. The junior high school child
longs to own brief case and to sport
q letter on his sweater. These ambi-
tions are tonic for their growth II
they are wisely met by the teachers
and the parents. 1t is not wise to
dismiss such a child with, you're too
small, you're too young, you're too i'm
mature"
That kind of rebuff makes child
feel that he is deficient. He is left
with the feeling that he is inadequate
and, of course, he cannot help mat
tiers. He cannot be bigger or older
or more experienced by wishing him.
self so. He must go ahead as he Is
and bear this burden of feeling that
whispers, unfit, unfit, for all those
long days to come.
like to teach little children the
song about the little elf down where
the lilies blow, and how he said, I'm
just as big for me as you are big for
you"
Teach the children they are just as
big in their own right as the bigger
child is in his. Make him feel ade-
quate for his day and leave him with
feeling Of success and hope for the
future. Don't say: What? A boy
your age? A girl so small? You're
too young, too little"
Keep saying: For 8 child your
age you are fine. BY the time you
grow few inches more you will be a
wonder. OF course you can have
big chair when your legs stretch. To
be sure you can go to school alone
when your back is longer. About
this time next year you will be strong
enough to carry more books, and you
shall have a new strap for them like
Jacks"
You can have no idea how much
one little word can mean, or what
Importance the placing of word can
take on in dealing with children until
you have seen the results. Make them
feel as big as they are and they will
60 on merrily enough. Make them feel
less than they are and they fall by
the way. So much for so little effort
on our part is surely worth while.

IT IS perhaps the old custom OF
afternoon tea that has inspired
the large variety of tea biscuits fol-
which English manufacturers are
famous. 1t seems that they are con-
tinuously presenting new connections
to please the hostess and to tease the
palate.
Among the latest addition to the
large selection of crackers and waters
imported from England we find that
the cheddar sandwich and celery
stick are proving to be the most popu-
lar. The first is a dainty wafer deli
cately favored with the cheese 1t Is
named for; the latter is somewhat
similar to our stick pretzel, but ever
SO much tastier. The strong flavor OF
celery is most tantalizing. Both OF

The Old Gardener Saws +:

Lily bulbs are quite different
from most other kinds. They are
made up Of scales, which are
soft and which point to the top.
Because they are soft it Is i'm
portant to plant lily bulbs as soon
as possible. They deteriorate
rapidly when kept out of the
ground. They are also likely to
rot il water gets into them, for
which reason many growers plant
them on their sides, which helps
to prevent water lodging in the
scales. Among the lilies that
should have a place in all gar
dens are several which are i'm
ported and which arrive late.
Orders for them should be placed
at once, however. In this list Is
the Regal lily and the Speciosum
lily, both of which are among the
best garden flowers. The Madonna
lily and most of the American
lilies can be bought and. planted

Milk soups, such as cream of split
pea, cream of spinch, cream of
tomato, cream of corn and so on, are
also good way to use the milk
quota.
Chicken soup. rich and clear, with
plenty of rice or barley in it, offers
a delicious and nourishing hot drink
Mutton broth, vegetable soup. or per-
haps a rather liquid Irish stew, might
go into the vacuum bottle on cold
days.
THE sandwiches should be planned
in relation to the kind of soup
included that morning. For instance.
with one of the cream soups meat or
eggs would feature in the filings, with
a generous supply Of lettuce and fruit.
II meat soup is used. then tomato
sandwiches. raw vegetables, or an adj
ditional piece of fruit would complete
the menu. With vegetable soup-meat,
cheese or egg sandwiches. and perhaps
few potato chips and fruit.
A little pure sweet is an excellent
and really important thing to tuck
into the lunch box. Sugar is one Of
the quickest energy building foods.
After child has worked hard all
morning he needs little extra fuel
to bring him up to par, and to fit him
for the activities of the afternoon.
Homemade cakes and cookies and one
or two peppermintS or hard candies
of some kind will fill this need admi-
rably, and offer the double advantage
of satisfying the child's sweet tooth
in a wholesome and moderate manner.
When possible, use whole wheat
bread for the school sandwiches.
Valuable vitamins exist in the coarser
| grain, and the child will benefit from
the dark -four. Leave crusts on-he
must chew hard things to develop his
jaw structure to the full, and to per-
feet his teeth. Occasionally include
one or two of the hard, hard water
biscuits-toasted with a little grated
cheese to make them appetZing.
These biscuits will give his jaw
muscle exercise. and strengthen and
harden his gums.

ERUIT is, of course, one of the most
important items included in the
lunch box Apples, pears, oranges,
bananas. tangerines are all available
during the Winter months and offer
the child great food value at little ex-
pense. OF the group, the citrus fruits
are probably the most important, and
the bananas, although splendid for
their energy-giving properties, do not
supply quite the same vitamins and
elements as do the others. For good
fruit balance, therefore, oranges and
tangerines should appear oftener than
the others, and bananas less frequent
ly. Do not neglect them, however, by
any means They are very important
in their own niche, and should be
always included when the rest Of the
lunch box has little carbohydrates in
its makeup.

dresses out of the clothes closeti he helped her carry them back in.
 And once as they stood together at the door of the clothes closet. and out of sight of Myrtle, he said:
 els 1t really only dresses that you care about? Don't you think yon could learn to care about some thing else?"
 "What for instance?" asked Jes- sica.
 "Me for instance" returned Everard.
 Jessica looked up at him. Hand some, smiling, unkempt, ciothes needing press-but handsome. And with little twinkle in his eyes that made him appear to have secret that he would tell if he wanted to-funniest little twinkle. Any woman could learn to love 2 man with eyes like that. But Jessica said: we'll don1 know"
 But that was enough for Ever ard, as 1t would have been for any man.
 Everard took Myrtle home, and the next evening he came bacK to see Jessica alone. She was wear ing a dress of white satin that clung to her, and swayed with her when she moved, and seemed to make her every gesture thing of beauty. Everard and Jessica had a very good time together that night. Ever ard found Jessica so beautiful, ana Jessica found Everard so different. It wasn't his handsomeness alone;2 there was a clean healthiness about him. He was part of the earth as men should be--he bore about him an aura reminiscent of tall trees and swiftly running rivers. It seemed to Jessica and Ever ard that one good time deserved an- other. It kept on seeming that way to them. And after six months Myrtle learned that Jessica and Everard were engaged to be mar ried in the spring. And 1t was oniy Q matter of days before spring would be fully come. Myrtle I'm mediately went to see Jessica.
 I'm so glad to see you!" Jesslca exclaimed when she saw Myrtle and it was fact. She was happy and glad to see anybody.
 "I hate to tell you this," Myrtle said after five or six minutes. when it didn't appear too abrupt, "and I only tell you because I know now much you love clothes. But did you know that Everard is a devont nuddist? Did you know that he was thinking of starting a nudlst colony. It's all right now; but think how it'll be after you're mar ried. You'll just have to be nudist, my dear"
 "It's funny" Jessica said holding back her tears, tits funny. but he never told me. Oh, what shall do?"
 DO nothing" voice said, and It was Everard's voice. He glared with such harshness at Myrtle that she half ran, half stumbled away. Do nothing. stopped having any ideas about being nudist today. l just got a job as salesman in mans clothing store."

When Myrtle introduced Jessica to Everard she was wearing her new red corduroy dress, trim | med in blue. That made things so much better. For the dress was 4 so beautiful, and Everard in his heavy, direct way was so hand some.
 This is Jessica," said Myrtle I flippantly. You could tell from the |intonation of her voice that she was entirely certain that Everard would not be in the least interested, and she went on. i've told you about Jessica. Really, she's the strang- est creature. Aren't you, Jessica? :? She just doesn't care about any, thing but clothes"
 From the very beginning it was apparent that regardless of whether Jessica was strange or not, regard less, in fact, of what she was or was not interested in, Myrtle had made a mistake.
 Everard stood tall with his head of shaggy brown hair thrown back. Myrtle might just as well not have been there - for he saw only Jes- sica. He saw a little girl with blond hair that was all curls, with impertinent and very red lips, and in a red corduroy dress trimmed in blue that made her look very like a doll.
 "well, Everard, I think we should be going" said Myrtle.
 Going where?" Everard asked.

 "Yes," Everard said to Myrtle, speaking to her for the first time since his eyes fell on Jessica. "Why don't you play the piano? You play. and Jesisca and I shall dance. I know you really don't care to dance anyway"
 And can't care to play the piano either right now," Myrtle snapped.
 "I'll tell you what" said Jessica.

A GREAT FOLLY

THESE chain letters whereby honest souls
l. make a few dimes for themselves at the
price of overlooking the postal system are
good deal like the kind of prosperity we had
before 1929, when you stop to think about it.
In each case the idea is a good one as long
as YOU can keep the ball rolling. Collapse comes
only when the supply of suckers runs out.
Look at the dime thing for instance
You get letter with five names on it. You
add your name to the bottom scratch off the
top name, and mail copies to five friends; and
then you send dime to the man whose name
you scratch off. If the chain goes unbroken in
the course of time several thousand people are
sending you dimes; they, in turn. are recon-
penSed by several times that many thousand
other people, who in turn get dimes from an
even larger number of perfect strangers, and
so on.
Theoretically, there is no exact limit to the
distance the thing could be carried All that is
necessary is that on any given date the num-
Der OF new suckers being tapped is greater than
the number OF dimes in the mail. AS long as
it keeps on going upward, nobody can lose.
Perhaps 1t is unkind to see in all this a
parallel TO the ftenzied prosperity of the boom
years. But you can see it if you look for it,
Just the same.

production was keyed to steadily rising mass
of debts. Part OF this came in installment-plan

foreign trade.

AN INCIDENT THREATENS

A NY one who wants to see world peace
maintained must hope that there will be
no repetition of the frontier incidents which
have recently disturbed Franco-Gernan rela-
tons.
The French charge that German airplanes
have been making illegal flights over French
fortified areas-preSumably to try to learn
something about Frances great new chain of
frontier forts So it is announced that if any
more German planes come over. French planes
will go aloft and force them down.
1t is easy to see how thing like that could
lead directly to war. An over-zealous Ger
man fier wanders over a French fortified
zone without authorization; French planes
shoot him down-and IN each nation there
is touched off a wave OF anger and suspicion
that causes reprisals, counter -reprisals and
ultimately war.
1t could happen just that way. We can
only hope that it won't.
