heard my father say 1t. "A note at Che bank"
 A note meant a letter. A letter brought news. Julia was right, I de- cided. Someone had died and left us a fortune. would take trip to Europe. I would go on the Lusitania. [ would buy myself Q red silk petti- coat with nounce.
 Cousin Victoria was my fathers only relation. She lived in a big house called Balmoral on the other side of the Junction. She had been born on the birthday of the Queen whose name she bore, and that circumstance had colored her entire existence, for it gave her, she felt, Q real prerogative. She had al- ways told us that every cent she owned would go when she died to The Friends of the Royal Family, an organization of which she was a charter member, but Cousin Victoria was noted for changing her mind. vTVHE front door closed, and my A mother, her cheeks very flushed, came back into the sitting room. "Girls", she said, T have news for you"
 Two fiounces, maybe
 "Yes, Mama" we chorused.
 Jim Mcclure has left town," she told us.
 I felt terribly let down. So, could see, did Sue and Julia. Jim Mcclure was @ little pinkish man, and all three of us had viewed him with distaste. His leaving did not move us. Certainly, we thought, 1t did not justify the parlor.
 He left bills behind him." my mother went on.
 That didn't impress us, either. Bills meant little in our life. My father sent them out occasionally, and people paid them in their own way. Sometimes it was with wood or potatoes, sometimes with weekly deliveries of fish and eggs. The gro- cer was my fathers patient. So was the barber and the butcher and the cobbler and the paperhanger. Every once in c while he would get to- gether with one or another of them for squaring things.
 Big bills," my mother repeated grsvely. 'Bills that your father will have to pay. in cash"
 We sobered. Our cash was gone, and wa knew it. It had gone to buy the American House, to re- pair and to paint it. To buy horses and carriages for the stable. Cash did not come easily.
 Your father did what he thought best at the time," my mother con- tinued. She never criticezd him, at least in our hearing. But things have turned out badly. He has spent all of his money, and now he has had to borrow $500 dollars from the bank"
 Then the note didn't concern Cou- sin Victoria.
 ,''Now there is only one way out"
 What way. Mama?" Sue asked.
 For us to move into the hotel and run the place until he has paid back what he has borrowed"

She must have seen the amaze. ment In our faces. No one in our Village ever moved. You lived la the house where you had been born, and, as likely as not, where your father had before you. You were brought up Co believe there was something suspiclous about people who moved around.
 "Its only for the summer" my mother hurried on. By August your father will have other plans" She paused and sighed. "rt will be very different from our life here"
 My mothers eyes fell Co the marble top of the table. "You will probably hear and see things, living there"
 The room seemed warmer. I looked down ct my shoes, fearful of smiling, though there was nothing funny anywhere.
 Hear and see things" she rec peated.
 Wild things had happened ct the American House. There were still stories People still talked about the carpets and the bathroom, the parlor and the dumbwaiter. Even though my father owned 1t, my mother had never allowed us to 20 inside. Now we could see with our own eyes Hear with our own ears.
 And if you do,@ she went on, sud. denly severe, T want you to remem- Der your upbringing. If I could only be sure of that. ."
 4o
 WYE moved on the first Saturday W in May. My mother packed only our toilet articels and our clothing, leaving each of us to judge what else was indispensable. There's no need of carting a lot of things that will just have to be brought right back again." she warned.
 The day was dull and chilly. At 9 o'clock my father came for us with the surrey. We got in gravely and sat throughout the ride in silence. For the first time I could remember We had locked our door. And we had locked it from the out side.

W1NTER uNnERWEAR

This season, owing to the extra. ordinary balance of supply and de- r1and, we shall be spared, I hope, the long wool underwear propagan- da of former seasons. It was usually about this time of year that the heavy underwear industry persuad- ed Q child specialist or two, who could use the publicity and the money, to give utterance to the quaint old granny notion that chil- dren whose legs or knees are ex- posed in the winter will probably have rheumatic some day if not now.
 I was sternly reproved by a well meaning reader recently because an infant in the readers neighbor- hood had been regularly put to bed in a room with wide open windows and the baby had very light or no covers-the parents asserted that 1t was by my advice.
 Those parents may have been sincere in thinking so, but they were wrong. I have seldom failed to specify that enough clothing bed covers, artificial warmth to keep one comfortable is always neces- sary. A young infant cannot tell you whether he is warm enough. perhaps, but if you are not an irre- sponsible dimwit you can determine that by simply feeling of the baby's hands and feet. If they are not warm the baby is not dressed warm ly enough or the bed lacks suffici. ent cover or Q foot-warmer should be placed in the bed or the bed should be screened agaist cold wind.
 As for the hypothetical or imag- ined relation between insufficient or exposure" and 'rheu- matis1n" or rheumatic fever (acute infection arthritis), there is no evi- dence to support the notion that bare knees or bare legs or as light underwear or other clothing as the child likes to wear contribute in any way to the development of any so-called rheumatic ailment. That notion Is becoming extinct.

job and returned to her home town to take up different work. I was 80 relieved that I got down on my knees to thank God for removing her from our life. However, it seems my thanks were a bit pre- mature, because very soon she wrote % him asking that their friendshlp be continued by correspondence. He showed me the letter, in which she said, among other things, that they had been more than CO., workers" and that he had been such a wonderful influence in her life"
 was very upset and told him thought it neither proper nor wise to conduct such correspondence. But he said he intended to do so regardless of my opinion. Tn fair ness to him, I believe he thought he was doing the right thing, and I have tried to accept his decision He shows me her letters (although not what he writes) and note they embroider an intimate theme about her family's affairs, babies born and unborn, etc., things which I consider improper for her to dis cuss with him.
 Am I old-fashioned and narrow minded Certainly I don't wish to be either. Do I need the advice of psychiatrist? l feel cannot go on with conditions as they are. Is my attitude wrong? We have been married nearly 30 years and have grown children and several grand- children, and to say that I love my husband and family would be an understatement. A broken home is the last thing I want. Please help me. w. w. Girl Should Get
