said had left scar. And the
problems which were before us had
found no real solution.
The question Of a maid became
a burning one. Dora Hayes was,
it seemed, to go in a day or two
10 a summer hotel on the other
side of the mountain. l offered her
equal wages, but she wanted the
excitement OF the change of scene
and Of the company she would
meet. It was, IN sense. for Dora
a social opportunity. There were
young men employed about the
hotel-other girls in other seasons
had found their mates.
Mrs. Hayes was sorry that she
could not cook for us, but Dora
was the oldest of a family of six.
Left thus, by her daughters de-
parture, to do the work for a fam

farm Iaborers, who were boarders.

 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

Mrs. Brown put her two hands tc her mouth and yodeled, "Jim-my Jim -fnee.eel"
 After repeating 1t several times sh, saw MT. Miller on the other side o' the street It would be MT. Miller she thought, embarrassed. I'd make 6 good hog caller" she cried, as ht looked over and tipped his hat, Ther she retired In confusion, realizing she had only made matters worse.
 Lunch was ready and time wal short. In less than half an hour Jimmy would have to be starting back to school.
 She was setting his egg cuT back in hot water to keep warm fol the third time when Jimmy stamped up the steps.
 "Where were you" demanded hi mother, I've been calling you every where. The principal passed ant must have thought was crazy Yeu heard me, didn't you"

 "Weil, I was comin'. You knew 1'e come I was helping Dick hunt hi ball It nearly went down c sewer. found 1t for him."
 Then MT. Miller did see you. Ht knew you heard me. What will ht think"
 "There you go, always worrying about what folks think. MT. Miller would say, James mother Shoule let him finish what he Is doing be- fore she calls him."
 "Oh, 50 that's 1t. You've beer listening to people. declare yol children know too much. Did yol ever hear that boys should come when they're called That mothers have to be on time, whether they like 1t or not Did you ever hear tha If everybody waited until 1t suited him to move, tho house would b, standing on It's head"
 "r'll come next time, mon."
 "No you won't I'd get c whistle just to save my throat, but yoV wouldn't hear that, either. Yo, would just pretend that you didn' know l wanted you or you'd hay, some excuse like today's,"
 "I'll listen after this. Maybe I hea you, but I just think I don't, gueS I get used to It."
 T guess you do. Well, run along now. Come right tome after school When the clock says four, you b. here"
 Moral Is Simple At half past 4 Mrs. Brown wen to the door. "Jim-lny," she yodeled "Jim- -mee.eel"
 Jimmy did not show up. "Kep h." thought his mother. But Jus then she heard his voice from Dick yard. HI. there, It's my turn"
 Mrs. Brown went across lots t Dicks. She saw Jimmy and Jame saw her. He called, "Oh, nom, I hi over two houses"
 Mrs. Brown took him home. Sh padded him and put him to bed Perhaps" she said grimly' lone ent of you can remember what the othe end forgets."
 The moral Is that children mus come when they're called, The, must, must, MUST.

You've seen her face on the covers of magazines, in impressive four-colored advertisements, on billboards. Anonymous, as most photographers models prefer to remain, she's one of the most highly paid girls on John Rob- ert Powers model list. MT. Pow CTS says she ypies American beauty. Halleck Finley, who took this picture and for whom she
 poses often, says she is as sweet tempered and wholesome as she is lovely. Her name is Virginia Judd, and she came to New York from Indianapolis.
 If you do wake up some morning with a sore throat, aching head ol throbbing eyes, it's best to get bacl in bed and stay there all day. Yol won't want to do this, but doctor' agree that the people who have lin. gering colds are the ones who jus keep going instead of going to bel immediately.
 If, after staying in bed 6 day ol two, drinking quantities of orang, and other fruit juices and eating only foods you know are rich fl vitamins, you feel no better, call { doctor. No one wants to be an al. armist, of course, but it's better tC be extra cautious than to let you seemingly light cold graduate to fil nr unaensnnia.

GloriMng Yourself

 For the sake of continued good health and therefore of beauty, make up your mind right now that you'll do all you can to avoid get- ting e cold this winter. If. in spite of all precautions, you do catch one, resolve to take immediate steps to cure 1t. You can't look your best when eyes and nose are red and you're coughing or sneezing every minute. Furthermore, 1t doesn't take more than one severe cold to destroy the fresh, blooming look you ac- quired during the summer months of sunshine.
 Don't let the air in your steam- heated apartment or house become too dry. Keep the radiator pans filed with water. If your radiators aren't equipped with these, place pans of water in nciospicuous places here and there in various rooms.
 Plan to take Q certain amount of exercise outdoors every day. You need fresh air and sunshine.
 Eat quantities of green vegetables crisp salads, fresh fruits. Sec that your diet includes fruit juices and some milk. All of these contain vita- Tnins, and vitamins combat cold germs.

To Safeguard Health In Industry,

mers in the Stone-cutting industry find that their fingers may be at- fected by the continuous vibra- tons. Printers used to suffer free quently with lead poisoning until methods of prevention were diS- covered.
 There are many hazards aSso- ciated with farming, and even bookkeepers and clerks may sue- cumb to writers cramp. It Is the job of the industrial doctor to de- tect and remedy these conditions.
 One of the first steps for health In industry Is to be sure that you are physically fit for your job ne- fore you take 1t. Of particular importance in many jobs is the vision and the bearing of the per- son concerned. In Q job requiring heavy lifting there Is the danger oi hernia or rupture. A person with epilepsy should never work around fiy-wheels or other dangerous ma chinery. People with bad conditions of the feet should not take jobs where they have to stand for long periods of time.
 All of these problems concern the industrial doctor and make t necessary for him not only to know the industry in which he works, but the adaptability of the worker to the industry.
 Tn many states there are laws governing the sanitation of work shops and also determining the extent to which the industry itself must make good when an employe is injured as to his health by his job.

MIND Your MANNERS

Test your knowledge of correct social usage by answering the following questions, then checking against the authoritative answers below:
 1. What is the chiet difference in the shape of a mans and a woman's visiting cards?
 2. Is it good taste to have cards that are to be used for social purposes printed rather than en- graved?
 3. Is it necessary for a doctor to have his title written out in- stead of abbreviated on the card which he uses for social purposes?
 4. Should a man continue to add "Jr." to his name after his father dies?
 s. Is it necessary for a man to have MT" on his cards while he is still in college?
 What would you do if--
 Your maiden name was Ruth Lawson: your first husband, John Jones, dies and leaves children. You later marry and divorce Richard FOley-and you do not wish to be known as "NIrs. Rich- ard Foley" Would you change your name tO-

 Then just when you are about to decide that modern love ought to be relegated to the financial pages of the newspaper, you come across q real love story. A story as packed with faithfulness and tragedy aS any that poets have found to write about.
 It's the story of c sleeping beauty who didn't waken--and Of the man whose love never fal- tered during her long sleep,
 For more than five yearh we who read the newspapers have known part of the story Of Patri- cia Mcduire, the beautiful stenog- rapher who fell asleep in 1882.
 Her death brought to light the rest of the story the faithful mess of the man to whom she be- came engaged two months before she fell III.
 All during the early days of Patricia Mcduire's sleep, James Burns, her iiance, stayed ct her bedside. Then when the sleep went on for weeks and months and heightened into years, he re- turned to his work. But every day he inquired about the girl he kept hoping against hope would one day awaken to be well again.
 Even when his business took him far away from the town in which the sleeping girls family lived, he talked each day with her mother. For almost six years this man refused to give up hope that Patricia Mcclure would

 With the coming of new Industries new chemicals and new methods into modern life, we adopt proce- dures far too frequently without any realization of their effects on health. The job on which you work, no matter what 1t happens to be-, carries with 1t some degree of dan- ger or exposure. If you are an office worker, you are concerned with conditions of temperature and hu- midity. If you are out in the shop, your problems may be much more serious.
 The idea that industry may be hazard to health is not new one. In October, 1883, the world celebrated the 300th anniversary of the birth of Bernardlno Ra- mazzini. the first man to establish the study of industrial diseases as a medical science. Today the control of industrial disease has become a speciality in medicine and the jon of the industrial physician or sur ge0n is one of thL most significant in medical practice.

 Sometimes industrial complaints arise simply from the limitations ot the human body. In a British bak- cry there was girl whose job 1t was to smell every egg after it was opened and before 1t was used. After one hour of egg smelling she found 1t impossible to continue the work.

One smart shop shows matching bag, shoes and gloves of reindeer in black or sa- ble brown. The shoes are glove fitting with high slender heels, cut low at the sides and fastened with small silver buckle at the ankle; the gloves are handsewn slip-ons, marvelously soft and cut slightly long; the bag, generously cut, gathers at the top into a chased silver frame vit'r hsrdsnnne rlasn
