cause the boy was having difficulty
pronouncing Funston avenue, scene

 In Teaching Little Girl Grooming CiUe Her Her OUn ToiIetries Set
By ALICIA HART NEA Stan Writer

The time to train Q little girl in the habit of personal fastidious- ness-the most exquisite quality she can posses when she grows up-is NOW.
 Wise mothers say: "Begin as soon as your daughter is old enough to brush her teeth and hair, scrub her fingefnails, flourish Q wash cloth, and lave little hands with lotion when she comes in from play"
 One, In particular, who's talking Is the mother of seven-yeariold movie star Betty Sue simmons, better known as "Little Bug Nose, who will soon meet her public in Frontier Gal"
 Practicing what she breaches, Mrs. Beverly Simmons is training Betty Sue in Q routine which ex. alts personal fastidiousneSs by sup. plying her with her own toilet ar- ticles, 0 big step toward the goal, this mother says. Giving a child her own clothes chest, and insist ing that she keep the contents tidy, is still another step, says Mrs. Sim mons.

 The older they get, the more flu. riouSly they work to look young, But the struggle to defeat age doesn't fool anybody--least of all themselves.
 SAD SIGHT
 There is nothing much sadder than the midle-aged woman--and America is full of them--who spend their days and az much money as they can lay their hands on, trying to buy back youth and beauty. Their eyes are old and their faces hard, marked by their discontented struggle ot look younger than they are.
 If they could just relax and ad. init their young days are past, the middle and later years could be happy, pleasant and fruitful. After all, their children are grown and out of the way and the hard years Of struggle and hard work are over.

THE STORY: Len and Sue Bcckley are entertaining Walt HIlyard and his family, newcom- CTS to staten, at dinner. Len has known Walt Q long time but hasn't seen Margaret Hllyard In 20 years. He Is thunderstruck at the changes In the once beautiful girl. She is fat and overdreSsed and seems to take delight m making other people feel III at ease.
 CHAPTER III VIOLET managed to get every- V thing from the pantry to the table and back again without O catclysm; but there was always the dramatic expectation of one, Though Sue had drilled her for hours, Violet still exercised the technique of 0 lunch-counter walt ress at freight stop, and It was plain that Margaret imputed Vio- let's violeneeS to Sues ignorance. And Sue could not answer the un. spoken accusation. It did not escape her that Margaret was also more or less slyly, reading the makers autograph on the service plates, and disappearing of them. Nor did It escape Sue that Walt Hilyard, who had been so jovial and SO VivaciouS 0 guest, was silent now and keenly distressed by the little nagging nothings his wife said, or failed to say. He wanted to defend her from herself, but how could he2
 At last in desperation Jennifer, who was feeling rnarooned in an Old Folks Home, made c frantic effort to contribute something to the occasion;
 Papa, tell them that story you told on the way over"
 "Oh, that old thingI" Margaret protested. 'It's not really very nice"
 "That makes 1t all the nicer" said Sue who had q taste for spice DO tell it, Walt"
 More embarrassed by his wife'S presence than he would have been ct e banquet hall of bankers, Walt made the try. He could have told it well If he had been permitted to do 1t solo, But there are few stories strong enough to survive aS 0 duet between c careless hus- band and Q correcting wife. He began;
 "Well, it's about two swedes in Minneapolis. They"
 "It's really about three 1riSh- men in Chicago" Margaret broke in.
 "That was my other story, my dear" Walt groaned.
 r FEN was SO rattled aS to intervene A In c family row:
 Let him tell 1t, Margaret. A part of c wife'S pledge ct the altar is to love, honor, obey, and listen in silence to her husbands stories"
 "do on, then" said Margaret, land get 1t over with while I ask Mrs. Beckley if she knows of c good lady'S tailor in this town"
 But want to hear the story" Sue pleaded.
 Margaret shrugged her shoul- ders with the effect of c AeShquake and subsided as If grossly in. suited. The poor story being dead already. Walt smiled pitiably and begged of:
 Some other time"
 What Is sadder than the funeral of c good story murdered in It's cradle7 A pail fell over the strug. gle for laughter. The obSequieS were interrupted by Q violent ringing of the doorbell, c pound- ing on the door, and c loud voice shouting through:
