an unwilling companion Is worse than no companion at all.
 Tom may pay her very few com- pliments, but if he shows his de- votion by a considerate awareness of her mods, she'll be wise to re- alize that compliments are the least expensive gifts of love, and not go around feeling sorry for herself be- cause she isn't being appreciated.
 If Tom doesn't play as good Q game of bridge as he imagines-and few people do-it's a mistake for Q wife to undertake to show him just how often his ideas differ from those of the experts.
 Tom can't possibly combine the wit of Bill, the companionable- ness of Henry, the good-nature of Dick, and the fat bank account of Mark with all of his own good qualities, That's asking a little too much. So is 1t being unrea- sonable to expect him to have all the virtues of the lover in @ TO- mantle magazine serial.

Don't Quarrel Away Happiness
 That light-hearted popular pair Ken and Annl
 Who'd believe that only six weeks ago every date they had ended in a fight because of Ann's touchy nerves"
 Suddenly Ann was honest, real- ized she was imagining most of her irritating worries. When she re- membered Ken had problems too, she forgot her own helping him out.
 And she planned a variety of safety valves for her quick temper and surplus nervous energy-tap dancing, badminton, club work.
 Finally, knowing how important to steady nerves the right food is. she checked up on her vitamins and minerals. Now she's warding off with calcium and iron those two great enemies of good humor-tooth decay and anemia.
 Milk and milk products, like cheeses and ice-cream, give her cal- cium. Iron she finds in prunes, raisins, green leafy vegetables, egg yolks.

 Your Children

worry" exclaimed Mrs. Smith to her husband. T worry too much, do I, about Tommy? Well, this time it's not his manners or his vitami1s, it's his cheek that a stone cut open. If something Is not done about that Mills boy I'll go crazy"
 What do you want me to do?" said John. Maybe it's time we did do something about It."
 T wish you'd park yourself some place where you can see what l see day after day. Our Tommy fretting here because he's lonely, and then when can't stand 1t any longer, go- Ing out to join the crowd. The Mills boy begins by pushing him. Then he spits at him. and then he draws off and starts throwing stones. He heckles the others, too, but they don't seem to mind. They haul of and hit him, and throw stones back, being pretty tough themselves in their way. But Tommy has been taught to be gentle and he's a little younger, too. He doesn't come in bawling, I'll say that for him. But he can't understand why this boy Is 50 mean"
 Talk to his mother?"
 Mother Defends Boy
 "She wouldn't believe 1t. He is the apple of her eye. She Is always bragging about what 8 good boy he is. Maybe he is at home, but he's pure poison on the street."
 "Why don't you get up commit tee and call on her? Surely Halls mother, and Mrs. Doaks and Jenny Plant would bear you out. Or take 1t up with the P. T. A."
 '"I tried, John, but they always put the responsibility on the mother, and she won't take 1t in this case. She insists that her boy Is pro. voked or he would not stand up for himself. Stand up for himself, humph. If anyone so much as pointed finger at this kid, he'd lie about 1t and say that he'd been shot. I tell you I am helpless, we all are; but our Tommy Is in the worst fix because he's the littlest."
 "We'll move In the spring"
 That's just loveiy. Six more months of this, and I'll have @ nice cell in the asylum. It has to be stopped, I tell you, and it's up to you"
 John thought awhile. I'm too busy to stick around here and watch 6 lot of kids kill each other" he said. But I'll do something to put the fear of God in that youngster. I suppose he's too far gone on his path of crime to reach him in any other way. Have the boys tried to make @ friend of him?"
 Appeal to the Law
 "Well, after two years of this, yes. We mothers have talked 1t over and tried everything. The stone throwing Is a new angle"
 Next day the children were play ing. The Mills boy approached with a handful of gravel and threw 1t into Tommy's eyes. A policeman stepped from a store where he had been watching. "Hey there, you" he called. Let me see you throw any, thing again and I'll take you along"
 The Mills boy ran. There was no more trouble. The impersonal law had decreed. It was Johns way, and 1t did what the mothers could not do. The moral is that once child has gotten beyond fair play, others will not stand for 1t. How much better if parents would sun- stitute themselves for the police- man and see that their children play the game according to rule. Copyright, 1887, NEA Service, Incl

 weighing several pounds too much detracts from your feeling of com- fort and youthfulness as well as from your appearance. Say what you will, surplus poundage, especially around the waIstline or diaphragm, will make your walk less graceful and probably add years to your atti- tude toward life. If you doubt this, plan to lose two pounds-simply and easily-then see how much younger and more agile you feel.
 It is not sensible to diet stren- uously, of course. Truly smart wom- en--those stunning individuals who seem always to be just right-usu- ally plan inteIligent menus all the time, do a few exercises regularly and go on more rigid diets only when they feel that couple of ex- tra pounds must come of rather quickly. After @ vacation, for ex- ample. That's one time when the majority gain more weight than they intended to.
 To lose two pounds within a week, yOu uAABAV SV OAA O AAAuA0 u'SV 4OA VAAS entire day, drinking fruit and veg etables juices, clear soup and glass or two of milk. Next day, and the following five days as well, order only fruit and coffee or fruit and milk for breakfast, green salad and soup for lunch. Fave whatever you like for dinner-but not too much of any one thing. Precious small por- tions of desserts, of course.
 Meanwhile, walk at least one mile a day, and, if you possibly can man. age, do a few limbering and stretch ing exercises every morning. These help you to cut down dimensions as well as weight, and that's important, too. No use losing several pounds unless they come off the too well padded areas.
