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.

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?

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.
