No. 31. . llow Can 1 Cure >ly Boy of Staying Out at Night? MORE mothers perhaps turn gray over this out-ut-night j problem than any other. And there is some reason for their anx- i lety. One mother writes to me: "My nine-year-old boy is begin ning to want to stay out at night. He i knows that 1 do not want him to but ( lately he has been promising to be in the house by 8 o'clock and not ! actually getting in till 10 or after. I always sit up till he comes Please , tell me how to manage him." One thing absolutely essential for \ou to do is to make unmistakably clear to this boy that you simply will not tolerate his being out till '! 10 o'clock. The next time he is out late, go to bed whenever you get ready. If it is ( t our custom, say "Good Night" to i him when he comes to bed. It will be . natural for you to use a tone that suggests you are worried or "put ' upon" but this likely would have an undesirable effect upon the boy. Say "Good Night" in a natural, friendly way which suggests that you are calm find have absolute control of yourself. Most parents in a similar case make the mistake of "lining up" the . ihibl immediately after he reaches the house. They invariably scold the | child and show that they are dis gusted. on account of this fact, the ! child argues with the parent or if 1 the parent shows a great deal of tem per and is not inclined to allow the j child to argue, the child is antagon- ! izcd and in most cases, he will dis- j obey again, partly to convince the parent that he used the wrong meth od. Children are easily disgusted with wrong methods. But do something the next morn- i ing. To let the incident pass alto gether simply would be foolish.

To stop falling hair at once and rid the scalp of every particle of dandruff, get a small bottle of Danderine at any drug store for a few cents, pour a litUe in your hand and rub well into Th<%-*'-alp.

Pronounce each word slowly. Say something like this: "This morning. I have something to tell you. I want you to remember it all of your life. We do all we can to please you. We do the best we know how. We want to do even more in the future for you. 1 am not going to scold you for anything- you have done in the past or for what you did last evening, but it must never, never be repeated.

Make it a point tor a few days to show favors to the son frequently and make him like you better thgn ever before. if a second talk is necessary, do not lose your temper but be more firm in letting him understand you will not tolerate further repetitions.

Then, when he stays make pop corn tind fudge in the home occa sionally. Arrange evening programs during the day. Invite friends in every few evenings. Have the boys play active games and co-operate with them. Get this boy interested in taking care of pigeons or rabbits or chick ens. He needs to have things of a wholesome nature to occupy his mind during the day as well as night. Take walks with him out with nature. Make a closer pal of him and then you can more easily influence him. I Copyrighted, lit 18, The Parents As sociation, inc.)

CHAPTER XXXV. Getting lunch with Betty started out to be a jolly, intimate affair. We knew that Jim would want his first dinner to Captain Winston to be a great success, and when we got the currant jelly out of its glass un broken in its rich red translucence, Betty did a little jig. We fairly beamed with housewifely zest when Betty found the melons I had been saving for next morning's breakfast and started zigzagging them into an "appetizer." "Shall I peel the potatoes, Anne, when I've done with the melons? Jim never did like them with their jac kets on, you know," suggested Betty. 1 didn't know. And when she con tinued. in chuckling reminiscence, I began to lose my warm glow of lik ing for her in a cool spray of feel ing "out-or-things." "Serving 'pertaties' in their jac kets were the pet vice of the squad ron cook. Once when we ate at an infantry mess in the Vosges. Jim al most wept with emotion over the little naked 'pertaties' . . .There, the melons are gorgeous! Anne, how are lim's affairs coming on?" She threw it in casualy. But 1 stiffened at her intrusion into our personal concerns. As well as if she had put it crudely, I knew Betty meant "Has Jim a job?" "AJI right," I replied almost curtly. "All right? Y"ou said that as if everything were—all wrong." Betty came over to my side. She took the bread from my hand and swung me around to face her. Then she caught me in her arms and gave me a little warm, friendly shake. "Anne—Anne, dear, tell me. I do so want to help you." Perhaps it was that word "help." perhaps it was the memory of her knowing how Jim liked his potatoes —but I couldn't respond to Betty. "My coffee!" I cried. It really was boiling over. I shook off Betty's clinging hands, set the coffee back to keep hot and then turned with a cold reply: "Jim is really quite all right. He does an article a month for Hal dane's—and he has Just accepted a position as inspector in a factory." "Airplanes?" asked Betty eagerly. "Caps." The word came out with a little explosion. Betty repeated it in ut ter astonishment. "Caps!" "Yes—a very good cap factory," I cried, with an air of finality. Betty, stood staring at me in per plexity. She was holding her right itand against her lips jn a way she has—the fire of that red scar against her mouth. And queenly Betty aud-* denly seemed childish and appeal ing as she stood there with her fin gers curled out toward me from her open palm. "But. Anne, an inspector has to walk miles, tye has. to walk all day. Jim's ankle! It will torture him." 1 hadn't thought of that. Betly, pressing her own scar to her lips! had realized how my boy's lameness handicapped him. I hated myself for forgetting—l hated her more for remembering! Tears were very close to my eyes. I wonder what would have happened if 1 had let them come, if I had cried out my thoughts: "Oh. it won't do for him to go walking about all day. So he hasn't a job. after all. And he is so happy because he thinks he has! Oh Betty what shall we do?" Instead, I said coldly: "He has probably thought of that, Mrs. Bryce, and arranged according And then I marched In to put the melon on the table. When I came back again Betty had served up tha vegetables and had Bet them on top of the oven to keep hot. "Thank you for all you've done. Sirs. Bryce. You've helped wonder fully. Now we'll go In. Please let me have your apron. I want you to be company from now on." 1 got the sentences out Jerkily, and Betty, looking at me gravely, obeyed. It was Jim who helped me carry ion the roast and the vegetables—he insisted on snatching a kiss from the cook, which restored her com posure, but only for a brief momefrt. for when we returned to our guests I could see that Betty had been talk ing confidentially to Captain Wins ton. Her head was close to his. I felt sure that she had been asking him what to do about Jim. An angry wave of resentment swept over me. We were asking no favors. Then why couldn't they leave us alone to manage our own af fairs? But I managed to conceal my feel ings. so dinner was a social as well as a gastronomic success. Captain Winston called it the "deliclous-est nome meal he had met on this aide of the pond." And Jim beamed. Every one helped, clean-off"— so that was over In a Jiffy. Then Cap tain Winston asked who was for run HARRISBITRG TELEGRAPH ning around to the garage with him ! to get his car—and Betty volunteered. 1 saw through that, and 1 determined they shouldn't "talk us over." So 1 said smoothly: "Silly children! We'll' phone for it." And they had to. Betty's turban was in place in a minute or two. To adjust a veil over my sailor took longer, so she left me and went out to join "the boys." When I was alone, I began to see how I had blundered through pride as grave as Jim's own. I have fail ed my boy, for he needs me to bridge the gap between that pride of his and the things from which it shuts him i off. I must have dreamed over-long. For from the door-way Jim sum moned me: "Anne! The car is here—we're I waiting. Hurry, dear." "Where's Betty? Ask her to come ; here." I said, determined now to beg ; her to forgive me—to help us both, j "She and Terry have run ahead. 1 They're waiting at the elevator, i Come on. honey." I sighed, half in disappointment, ' half in relief. But I determined that before we came home I would ma age a few words alone with Betty. 1 (To He Continued) Present Day Desserts These receipts from the United States Food Administration are su gar saving and very good.

Little Talks by Beatrice Fairfax By Beatrice Fairfax ( I have a letter from a woman who (says: "Why can I never get decent service In a lunch room where there are women waitresses? I make it a rule to tip. even if my lunch costs no more than forty cents, yet there jl sit, "like Patience on a monument," j while any man can get prompt and j excellent service. I "Sometimes while I am waiting. |three male creatures next me are j successively fed and go their way rejoicing, while I wait for a sulky. "What's yours? I "These men do not tip, as a rule, ( beyond says something like this: j 'What's your first name, anyhow, | Peace or Pippin?' and the waitress [goes on her way rejoicing. ! "And there 1 sit 'till I lose my ( patience and leave the place, or ap ply to the headwaiter for a little at tention. Perhaps you can explain ithhf which is beyond my compre hension. 1 am a business woman j myself, and I try to have patience (with my sex." The explanation for this, goes back .a good many years—to the Garden of Eden, to be exact. Where Adam ate the apple, not be cause he cared for apples particu larly, but because a lady tempted nim and it is only human to suc cumb to temptation* at the hands of a lady. And they have been keeping it up ever since—these children of Adam and Eve—doing something outside ithe line of regular duty, for a smile. ]a compliment, or just because some -1 one of the opposite sex expects it. | My sympathy goes out to the poor lady, sitting in the luch room wrapped in savage stoicism, with 'a dime, or maybe fifteen cents, conspicuously displayed as a reward to the waitress who pays no atten tion, and who in the meantime, neglects the tip. and rushes breath less to the kitchen for the sake of compliment. : It is the question: "What's your first name, Peach or Pippin?" that [does the trick and the waitress (whose name may be Mary Jane and 1 look it too. for a second, flashes (into something that may very | properly warrant either name. (And through a rose colored haze she • floats to the kitchen and battles :with the cook for the best thing on the carving table. What's in a Tip? What's a tip compared to the de liciously heady feeling a compli ment can give? Perhaps it isn't true, even Mary Jane, alias Pippin, battling with the cook over the question of white meat may realize its pinchbeck quality, but for the moment it enables her to hold up her head like a beauty. And the business woman sits flashing her dime, meantime, and not getting even a nibble for it. Waitresses come and waitresses go, ,but the woman patron sits on for ever, to once more take liberties with Tennyson's "Brook." A Pippin is not especially inter ested in a detached dime, she 'doesn't get enough of them to change the map of her. As few represent something she has heard ■vaguely described as "unearned in crement," and Hetty .Green has I never appealed to her as a patron I saint. She is more interested in I Mary Pickford, Elsie Ferguson and {Biliie Burke. And so finally, with lan air of resignation, the witress <ta*iuires: "What's yours?" j And the business woman, with the I acid patience that benefits an ex | pert stenographer shamefully treat led, repeats the order she has been champing like a bit .for - the past twenty minutes. She confers the I dime on Pippin, as one who is j angelic enough to reward a crime, and departs. | Attraction on a Higher I'lnnc j Very probably the business wom an fails to grasp that things are (conducted in hte office where she is j employed on much the same prin ciple as they are with Pippin in the (lunch room, only on a higher plane. And not only in that office, but pretty much all over the world we find the fatal quality of attraction as a motive force. Ever since Eve pointed out the apple that took her fancy, and Adam picked, it—against his better .judgment—that mysterious force called attraction has been doing things, not according to Hoyle, but ;by strange and devious ways past [understanding. , I No one in that office would, of (course, inquire if the expert's first (name were Pippin. But the presi dent of the concern, a-terribly im jportant old gentleman, intimates (that he doesn't know how he could accomplish everything he has to do lin one day, if Providence had not jsent him so expert a stenographer. (And the expert, who is somewhat past the age of foolishness, doesn't mind the extra hour or so she spends after closing time, to get things "cleaned up." It's that kind of compliment that does the trick with her. And Charlie Brown, though he is years younger than the expert, likes her enormously. She im presses him as the right sort for her Job and she is quite amusing too. So despite the fifteen years difference in their ages, they have some very pleasant little chats that help to brighten the daily grind. Now the expert would not be human If she were not flattered by 'young Brown's interest, of. course she knows he is engaged to the Smith girl, but she likes to talk to him nevertheless. And she has two or three times called the president's attention to his work and how con scientious he is about things. And so it goes, the expert railing at Mary Jane, alias Pippin, for neg i lecting her duty in not waiting on another woman and at the same jtime failing to recognize the same 'thing on her own plane, j The cook may seldom see the mas ter of the house, but it is the way |he likes his toast, his coffee, his ! steak that is the unwritten law of jthe presiding genius of the kitchen, j Unless the cook happens to be a ichef, and then—what madame likes will be remembered. I It is for this reason, though they j fail to grasp it, that the most ardent feminist will balk at engaging a j woman doctor, dentist, or lawyer. :As one of them once said to me in ; explanation, "It's so hard to obey a fellow woman, there's nothing .primitive about it— and I'm so ad vanced. I've got to the, point where ! 1 enjoy being primitive again." Advice to the Lovelorn BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX THE MOTHER IS RIGHT Dear Miss Fairfax: I am a young girl of sixteen, and haVe been going around with a crowd of boys and girls whose 1 company I like very much. Myi mother is against this, because she I thinks I am too young for boys. | They are 'only schoolboys, and 11 would like to know what you think of this, us I esteem your opinion j very much.- X. Y. Z. If you want my honest opinion. I think a girl of sixteen, living at home, ought to be guided by her mother's judgment, I believe, if you opened my mail some morning, and! read some of the regrets girls have' for not taking their mother's ad vice, you would lie willing to deter going about with boys a little longer. No one of sixteen realizes how young she is. With all of life before you, you can afford to wait a little while. GREAT DIFFERENCE IN AGES Dear Miss Fairfax: I would like to ask you if you think It right for a girl In her teens to entertain the idea of marrv ing a man of fifty, even though he is well preserved and can pass for thirty-five. Also, do you think a man of that age should marry a gi so young. Do you think thirty years' difference between a husband tnd wife is too much? INTERESTED. Unless there is some exceptional attraction between these two people, or some great community of inter ests, it would seem such an unusual difference in ages might be some thing of a risk. It depends so much on the individuals themselves rather than on circumstances wheth er marriages of this kind are a suc cess. History records several that have been exceptionally happy. SHE INTRODUCES A GIRI, FRIEND DEAR MlffS FAIRFAX. I have been going with a young man "steady" for the last three months and lately I introduced him to a girl friend of mine and it has changed him a great deal. I had a little quarrel with him and since then he does not ask me to gn out with him any more. He comes to the house.

What would you do about it? ANXIOUS. There is really othing to advise j but to wait and see if the old friendly I relationship will not come back of Its i own accord. And in the meantime, try to avoid showing any petulance against the young woman who seems to have supplanted you. Your friend must still have some interest in you or be would not come to your house regularly.
