thus was shaped.
Just as Russia today, Russia In the
10th century and Russia in pre-war goth
century proved a complicated ally for
England especially because of the vast
gulf in political philosophy between st.
Petersburg, the headquarters of an abso-
lutte monarch, and London, the head
quarters of a representative government
which supported a symbolic monarchy.
There still is vast gulf in political
philosophy between Moscow, the head
quarters Of totalitarian authoritarian
ism, and London, which is today as it
was.
1t was found in the past, however, that
Russia because of its very existence had
to be received as an influence in Europe,
and Russia cannot be kept in some Gov
entry in the future. There the country
lies. Good craftsmanship will make the
most of it. The realization that the
world cannot spend another 20 years in
fear of Russia may have had its part In
moving the British government to reach
the new treaty Of alliance.
Good craftsmanship will continue the
effort to bring Russia, Great Britain and
the United States to a meeting on a
common ground, where all three sub

Clothes in Hope Chests Designed2
For Winter Warmth and Service
BY ELEANOR GUM

NEW YORK-Did you ever ex-
A>pect to see the day when hope
chests. usually frothing over with
lace. would be packed solid with
flannettes and other strictly utili-
tartan indies? To be honest. that's
slight exaggeration. But brides
are certainely starting off on the
right foot-encased in Isle stock
ings too - and are selecting the
aforesaid flannettes, rabbit and
other woolies in anticipation of a
cold and lonely winter. There's en-
phasis on warmth and service, yet
there's plenty of charm too and
enough color to stimulate ones
morale.
Brides and expectant mothers

aren't getting along: neither one
of us is happy and the children are
bearing the brunt of 1t. What can
we do for them to insure their hap
piness?" Usually they simply con-
tinue disagreeing. som t m S
openly and sometimes in private.
They let the moods engendered by
their own bitter or angry feelings
for each other carry over into their
dealings with the children.
It is not easy for fathers and
mothers who disagree to make a
happy home for their children. But
given strength Of character, they
will have strength Of purpose and
it can be done more than adequate
ly. First. they must never argue
before the child. and must avoid
discussing pro and con what they
believe is best for him.
In short, t hey must make up
their minds definitely to cooperate
where the child is concerned. So
long as youngster knows where
he himself stands with his parents,
the fact that mammals and daddy's
private lives aren't exactly har-
monious cannot seriously effect his
peace Of mind. To be sure he often
will sense that everything isn't as
it should be and it may trouble him
but only until he again receives
assurance that mother and father
are united where he is concerned
and are strong for him.
When parents cooperate and are
consistent in their dealings with a
child. he feels secure because he
knows then that he can depend
upon them. Where parents work at
cross purposes, however. a child
learns to disobey. He learns that
if he can't have his way with one
parent to go to the other. Mean
while he is far from happy.

Shy Miss Bailey
Is Highest Paid
Woman Writer
BY TALBOT LAKE

LEW people are aware that the
1 biggest money-maker in the
writing bsiness is shy. retiring
middle-aged woman. who lives In
Washington, D. c. She Is Temple
Bailey. writer of mush-gush love
stories about the heart throbs and
thrills of young girls in their teens.
Miss Bailey's heroines neither
drink nor smoke.
Miss Bailey-who never married
herself-has earned well over q
million dollars. Women readers Of
all ages go for these yarns and
never tire of them. The magazines
pay in five figures for q Bailey
serial. Though her name sounds
like one she might have picked for
one Of her own herOineS, it Is her
real moniker.
Miss Bailey lives in restrained
splendor in the Wardman Park
Hotel. in an apartment adjacent
to those occupied by Secretary Cor
dell Hull and Vice President Wal
lace. She does not hob-nob with the
writing set, nor the Washington
politicos, but lives quietly by her
self. Her needs are taken care Of by
a companion, maid, cook. chauffeur
and a college bred secretary, who
has turned up every morning at
nine for the last eleven years.
A well-bred Tidewater Virginian.
Miss Bailey has found her writing
career singularly free of thorns.
Her first story was sold to Munsey's
20 years ago. and her second one
won q prize from the Ladies Home
Journal. She has written 20 books
her latest is THE Pink Camel
lia," a typical Bailey title-and
hundreds of stories. They have all
been about love and young girls
and all pretty nearly the same, with
what she calls "touchings" to keep
them up to date. For her touch
ings" she relies on letters from her
two pretty Florida nieces. who, like
good Temple Bailey heroineS, don't
drink nor smoke.
Miss Bailey heads the Big Four
Of the money-making women writ
ers. Others are Faith Baldwin,
Fannie Hurst and Edna Ferber.
They write love stories too, but not
as regularly as Miss Bailey.
"Tyro noveliSts must overcome
their self-consciousness. One way"
according to Miss Bailey. lis for
them to be much less perfection
list. less critical of their own efforts.
Instead they should let their Great

tors don't agree that your stories
are good-well don't blame the
editors for your own inner lack, or
perhaps just lack of practice"

What can we do about it? Already
our old-age institutions are greatly
overcrowded. Almost all Of our acts
Of regulation Of recent years have
contributed to the early develop

unreasonable edicts OF industry,
that Z man over nifty could not be

reach premature old age. This has
resulted In Q great number becom-

Much Of this problem Is the re-

Sign Your Pledge

Uncle Sam, in this war effort, must know from every production plant just how many guns, tanks, planes and ships he can expect to receive within the next few months so that he can lay his battle plans accordingly. By the same token he must know from the people of the nation just how many dollars he can expect to receive voluntarily in the pur- chase of U. s. Savings Bonds, so that he can lay his tax plans accordingly, to pay for the war cost. The more dollars vol untarily pledged for the purchase of bonds, the less will be the tax load.
 With this in mind, the Treasury De- partment is conducting a nationwide inventory by states wherein every income earner is being asked to sign a Pledge indicating how much he will lend from that income to buy Savings Bonds
 The date for this pledge campaign here in Connecticut is May to p. This community is local sector of the state and nationwide battle front. The vol untary workers in the campaign are civil ian soldiers serving without pay, without glory or thanks, and are as surely fight ing a battle for freedom as the soldiers on the battle fronts. They are conducting a campaign which we as nation cannot afford to lose. Their only weapon is Pledge Card and a cheery word. They will offer every income earner the privi- lege and opportunity to pledge an invest ment in the safest risk in the world, the United States Government
 Every person who is financially able should support this Pledge Campaign to his or her utmost financial ability. The Pledge is entirely voluntary on your part, but upon the success of this campaign will depend the freedom of America, for without the tanks and guns and supplies to be purchased by your investment your Pledge, we cannot win this war. So join willingly, cheerfully, in this mobilization of American dollars, so that America will continue to be free. Sign the Pledge and do YOUR share
