 keenly, You're sure this divorce Is what you want, child?"
 For 6 wild instant Dana wanted to cry out, T don't want 1t ct all, but my husband does" Her law- yer interposed quickly, There's nothing else she could do, your honor. The man has been cold and unfeeling."
 "Yes, yes," the judge agreed. Dana suspected he had gone over the same procedure so many times that he was tremendously wearied by 1t all. It was over quickly, and they were walking out into the sun- shine again. The young lawyer walked with Dana. She wished he wouldn't; he wasn't to blame for this, yet she hated him.
 The lawyer was thinking that Dana was darned pretty girl and her husband had been Q fool to let her slip away from him. He felt sure there was another man in the offing. There generally was if wo- men were pretty and young.
 Mrs. Stanley was . trihe pale, and she didn't look happy. Women were like that. Give them what they wanted and they acted as though the world was down about their ears. He tucked Dana's arm through his protectingly, and be- gan to talk in Q cheerful tone. Dana withdrew her arm and gave him look that was not at all fiattering.
 "Thank you, MT. Slater" Mrs. Cameron said, placing her hands firmly on the wheel of the out-dat- ed automobile. "Everything went off without an embarrassment"
 Nancy turned from the front seat as the car moved of. "Dana looks as happy as if she had re- ceived Q death sentence" she com- mented dryly.
 "Its natural" Mrs. Cameron snapped. "Divorces aren't any thing to cheer about. But they are necessary sometimes" Mrs. Cam eran looked as though she had been in Q battle. There were tired lines in her face, but the light of victory shone in her eyes.
 Aunt Ellen had withdrawn into her shell again. Dana knew her aunt's sympathies had swayed weakly from one side to the other. Aunt Ellen would have supported Scott-only he hadn't wanted any support. If he had
 She refused to complete the thought. What was the use of mightrhave-b now that the legal bonds had been broken? A box of flowers was waiting for Dana. Sarah brought 1t to her, smiling broadly.
 "Wellp Mrs. Cameron's voice sang out. Somebody's mighty thoughtful"
 Dana lifted the mass of white blossoms from the box. On the card Bonnie had written, My memories of you are white mo- ments in dull gray days. May I see you to-night?"
 "Ronnie wants to come to- night" Dana said. Bonnie was

sweet and tho thought of his de- votion helped her, too, on his grayest of days.
 "YouTl let him come," Mrs. Cameron urged. "You1l never be any freer than you are now. You might stay away from public places. Or it might be best to stay ct home and talk" Mrs. Cameron was thinking, "In my day, taking in Q parior got . girl farther along with man than gallivanting around the country in Q car and dancing all night. Men never have time to concentrate on girl these days"
 Dana said, I'm rather tired"
 Don't give Ronnie the impress sion you're staying home grieving for c man who wouldn't give you the satisfaction of refusing to come back to him. Scott's prob- ably somewhere celebrating his freedom"
 You never did see any good in Scott" Dana cried out in sud- den passion. She added, T won't see Bonnie tonight. I don't want to. I should think you'd know II couldn't. Doesn't Q divorce mean any more to you than thAt?"
 Mrs. Cameron didn't answer. When Dana was in such Q mood 1t was better not to. And no doubt the child's nerves were on edge.
 When the afternoon newspaper arrived Mrs. Cameron opened 1t and searched the pages. There was . small item about the divorce, inconspicuously placed. And here was something else in the columns that met Mrs. Cameron's eyes. "Dana," she called. Come here!"
 Dana came to the door. (To Be Continued)

The more guests that have been invited, the more important 1t is that a wedding be carefully re- hearsed a day or two beforehand, SO every participant will know ex- actly what to do and when. Ger tainly if there are to be more than ten guests, rehearsal is im- perative.
 It's supposed to be bad luck for the bride to participate in the re- hearsal, so she sits on the sidelines and directs. Her mother or one of the bridesmaids plays her part. All others, including musicians and brides father, do exactly what they are supposed to do at the wedding itself. Even the clergyman is asked to attend rehearsal. However, the marriage service 1t not read.
 On the wedding day ushers should arrive at least 45 minutes before the appointed hour. White carnations or gardenias are pro- vided for them by the groom.
 They decide which are to con- duct guests to the pews at the left of the center aisle, where family and friends Of the bride are to sit. The others will offer their arms to relatives of the groom, who will be seated in front pews at the right of the aisle. These reserved pews are roped off with white satin rib- bons. Guests are supposed to arrive on time, and five minutes before the bride enters, everyone should be in his seat.

Polly Jones at five went across the tracks. Coming back, al inter- urban just missed her. A neighbor saw 1t, and told Polly's mother.
 Polly was spanked and put to bed for 6 day. That was as 1t should be, because 6 lesson in life-saving has to be learned right.
 But Polly, in her heart knew she had had good reason for crossing the track. She thought she saw Judy, her red cat, over in some body's yard. Judy had to be rescued and carried home--but not this Judy. This one belonged there and said 50. Polly tried to tell her mother, but her mother wouldn't listen. And accustomed to forget- ting reasons for doing things, the day of her release found that part of 1t gone. Polly never crossed the track again, but she never ex- plaincd.
 Her Side Ignored
 When Polly was ten she went with Deedie Smith in Decides papa's car out to the farm and missed her music lesson. She thought, when Mr. Smith stopped at the school this showery day to pick up Deedie, that he was going straight home. Instead, he turned out the pike and they got back to town at six o'clock, just as dad- dy came in.
 No ono would listen. Polly gave her mother the dollar grandma had sent her, because mother said that Miss Wilson charged for missed lessons the same as the others. Also that she, Polly's mother, wouldn't put 1t up. So off hopped the bunny lamp Polly was going to buy for her white desk.
 At l6, one day, Margaret, alias Polly, walked home with Bert, or rather, Bert walked home with her. They stopped for soda but behind the screen a beer party was going on. One of the boys called Bert; the two walked over while Bert and Worry talked over tickets for q game. and Uncle Ed, stopping for cigaretS, saw them. Polly was called up on the rug.

 Paris (UP)--History repeats itself at least as far as feminine fash ions are concerned. This seasons hats, with modern adaptation, of course, can be traced back to the stirring times when Henri de Na- varre, Henry III, Catherine de Me- dici and Marguerite dc Vallois made French history.
 The play "Margot," which had a successful run throughout the win- ter in Paris, has had enormous in. fiuence on spring hat styles. These little hats, in straw, are scooped over the forehead showing the front hair. then dip down over the ears. They are worn perched on the top of the head, rather for back from the forehead. The popularity of "Margot" hat has renewed interest in cut bangs curled up on the fore- head.
 The Catherine dc Medici influence Is seen in 6 poke bonnet of black machine-stitche satin. The brim lifts up in front above . Medici peak of white pique. This triangular peak likewise is seen on many of the new oif-the-face hats, the new version of last winters halo hat.

 At 20, she found herself in Q serious situation. It was something about her employer who paid her too much attention. She needed ad- vice, but she needed her job too. If she only had someone to ask about 1t, to talk to from the heart and explain all the little circumstances and fears.
 Her mother by this time was out completely as counsellor.

WOMAN,S REALM
Gloritying Yourself
By Alicia Hart

In order to be well groomed, the girl who goes to business five and one-half days a week simply has to budget the time she has away from the office almost as carefully as the hours she spends in 1t.
 This doesn't mean that she has to be a human machine with an eye on the clock and her mind on a schedule 366 days Q year. It merely means that some kind of system about small things will keep her looking nice and, in the long run, save time and trouble.
 For instance, instead of doing your nails one night, your hair another and spending part of still another evening washing collars and cufEB, why not devote one entire evening to all of these things, thereby get- ting finished at ohe gession7 Then, except for an occasional touching job for an evening party and your up of fingernails, special makeup regular before-bedtime r0utines, you'll have nothing to worry about for Q week.
 one young business woman never makes an appointment for Wednes- day. That day, she goes directly home from work, washes her hair, sets 1t and lets 1t dry while she eatS dinner. Sometimes, while the din- ner is cooking, she washes out col- lars, cuffs and odd bits of lingerie. After dinner, che irons and presses her clothes.
 Then she washes her face and throat and applies Q mask. She relaxes for half an hour to give the mask plenty of time to dry thor oughly. When she has rinsed 1t of, she covers her skin with rich cream, gets into the tub, placing all necessary manicure accessories on 8 table beside 1t. While sitting in the water, she fixes her nails, doing everything except apply pol- ish. She groomB feet and toes, too.
 Afterward, she removes cream from her face and throat, pats them with skin tonic, applies nail polish and goes to bed. She admits that the evening is pretty strenuous, but she says that this plan seems to make her life simpler and her grooming problems easier than they were when she used to do little something every night in the week.

 The baby's mental development is especially significant, because the type of mind indicates the activities which the child may undertake. A child with a quick mind will be successful in doing things that re- quire ability to think quickly.
 Frequently such children will be lean, because their activity burns up a great deal of energy. Some people are likely to call this type of child nervous, while actu- ally its reactions are a part of its character.
 A child with a slow mind will be interested in activities that re- quire concentration, but not speed. There are still other children who seem to care little about learn ing and whose minds are definite ly superficial in character.
 Parents should study the traits of their child and make the most of the kind of mind that 1t has.
 
 By the age of five months, some babies will resent interference with their activities. This is an indica- ton that training is necessary.
 At the end of the sixth month, the baby will sit for a moment without support for its back, reach for things that 1t wants, and pound on the furniture.
 When the baby gets old enough and strong enough to be playful. 1t needs even more attention than 1t did previously. During the seventh, eighth, and ninth months the baby is able to express its satisfaction in various ways, and becomes more interested in sounds, SO that 1t enjoys bells and pound- ing.
 At the eighth month. the mother will suddenly discover that the baby will play peekaboo and can pc taught to clap It's hands.
 This usually creates a great sen- satlOn in the home, but pot nearly 10 great as that which occurs dur- ing the ninth month when the baby suddenly starts t0 crawl or

A bank of flowers or florists greens generally is constructed. It is not necessary to provide chairs for the guests.
 Just before time for the cere- mony, two attendants (these can be a younger brother and sister of the bride), carrying rolls of white satin ribbon, come in from stairway or door from which the bride and her father will enter. One end of each roll is attached to the entrance doorway. The attendants fasten the other ends to two poles or the backs of two chairs about five feet in front of

ATTENDANTS AWAIT
 BRIDE IN VESTIBIJLE

Maids, matron of honor and the mother of the bride arrive five minutes before the appointed hour and walt in the vestibule. Just as the bride and her father get to the church, the head usher conducts the mother to her seat. This is the sig nal for the guests to rise and re- main standing.
 Next the clergyman comes to the altar. The groom and his best man enter from the chancel and take their places at the right of the al- tar, with the best man at the right of the groom.
 The music then swings into the wedding march for the bridal pro- ccsBion. The door of the VeStlbulc is opened. The ushers start slowly toward the altar, two by two, four paces apart. The bridesmaids fol- low, also two by two, stepping with the music. The maid of honor walks alone followed by the flower girls and the little ringbearer. The bride, on the right arm of her father, is last in the procession.
 As the ushers approach the pul- pit they separate. one of each pair goes to the right, the other to the left. The maids do the same, and together they form semi-circle before the altar, with the matron Of honor standing little to the left.
 The flower girls separate, too, but do not join the semi-circle. They walt, one near each front pew, un- til the service is over. Then they precede the bride and groom in the exit march.

 From then on, the rules of cor- rect procedure are the same as for a church ceremony. When the minister has pronounced the couple man and wife, instead of making an immediate exit, they finger to receive congratulations from the guests and to go on to the room where the wedding breakfast is to be served.
