Evvy and I had taken a very early |
tea and it was only a little after 5 j
when 1 got home from my unhappy j
hour of disillusionment.
I hurried into my bedroom and :
began to take off my hat —then II
stood motionless with oine pin in my j
hand and reflected upon the blun- j
ders that had brought Barbara Anne j
Harrison to her present pass of un- j
happiness.
Item: Jealousy of Betty Bryoe'
and a series of rebuffs to Betty's of- j
fers of friendship. i ;
Item: Longing for a woman i
friend in Jim's own world —and the ]
acceptance of Evelyn Mason's com- i
panionship.
Item: The climax that had given |
Betty every right to think she was i
not wanted or needed here and was;
welcome to pursue her intimacy with |
Virginia and to forget me. t |
At this stage of itemizing with j
niyself and my loneliness, I removed .
the other pin from my hat, put away
the outer trappings used for my;
afternoon with Evvy and addressed |
myself sternly: I
"Anne, you've been taking what i
you insisted was 'something just as |
good' in place of real friendship. You j
were suspicious of Betty just because j
she was so kind. Now 1 guess Betty's j
about done with offering you her |
friendship; you've snubbed her for j
the last time. If you want her, j

you'll have to go after her. Well,
do you want her? Do you want
some one who will help you throw
light on Jim's betting at the races
and shaking dice with Neal. as if
gambling were the most gripping
thing in life? Or do yon want to go
half distracted wondering whether
that means he —has the gambling
fever?"
In answer to my own questions,
I went to the phone and called Vir
ginia's apartment. Phoebe answered.
"They've uone out," she replied,
almost petulently, when I asked for
Virginia or Betty. "They're going
to have dinner together. They left
me here alone."
"Then you come straight over
here. dear. Mow can you be alone
when you have us?" 1 asked with
pity for another lonely creature.
'Oh. I'd love to. Anne —-but I'm
not very tidy. Have I time to go
home first? I've been working here
all afternoon—and I don't look very
nice."
So I gave Phoebe till 7.30 to make
herself pretty and sweet, and then
turned from the phone and her de
light to face my own trouble.
What was I to do about Jim? I
must solve my problem alone —with-
out aid from Betty. Evidently she
and Virginia were growing very inti
mate now, and if they didn't want
little Phoebe, surely Betty would
have no time for me.
Xever before had the city seemed
so big, so cold, so unfriendly. 1 had
made a failure of my attempt to find
my place, for although 1 hud lived
in it for years, "the great metropo
lis "didn't hold for me even one true
friend.
I stood at the phone while this
flashed through my mind. Suddenly
1 realized I was turning over the
leaves of the phone book.
'How —aimless," I laughed to my
self.
But there was a choke in the
laugh, and 1 dropped the book
against the wall with a terrified thud
when I found my eyes resting on the
nunie. Mason, Thomas J. I didn't
need some one to talk to as much as
that.
Then all it) a flash the door

©MAKING THE MOST OF- n
OUR CHILDREN V/
A Series of Plain Talks to
President of thr Parents Association.
(Copyright, the Parents Association. Inc.)
It ig most natural for children.to i
turn a deaf ear to the word, "Don't."
Many children will run errands;
willingly but are hard to stop from |
doing things once they have started. I
For example, one mother writes j
to me:
"My boys aged four and six do j
what they are told fairly Well but
persist in doing what they are told j
not to do. If I ask one of them to I
bring me an article, he brings it. If!
I say, 'Close the door,' he closes it. ;
But. if he is playing with the door I
and wants to continue, I can request j
a dozen times and he wouldn't close' t
it. Please tell me what 1 have done ;
wrong and how I should manage in I
the future?"
You may not have done anything |
especially wrong, it simply is a na
tural tendency In children to want to
continue what they ulready are do
ing, particularly if that activity is
furnishing them pleasure.
Of course, in the example that you
cited, if you actually requested the
boy several times to close the door,
you might improve on this point in
the future. After you make your very
first request, and he ignores it, do
not follow this up with another un
der the same conditions. Either you
should have the boy come directly
in front of you or you go directly to
the boy and after securing his un
divided attention, then state your
command in a low, expectant tone,
suggesting that you mean strictly
business.
Make it an invariable rule that |
neither of your boys gets a bit of
pleasure out of trying to continue a
line of action after you request him
to stop. Do not allow any excep
tions if you can help it.
When any child finds that his
mother does not know how to deal
with his delayed action, but merely
repeats her requests, he falls into
the habit of being slow as naturally
as can be. Only the opposite, strict
policy advocated will change the
habit after it has started to grow.
Give your boys the idea, unmis
takably, that you want to see them
have a good time. Don't try to give
them this idea by merely telling
them so; show them! Suggest new
things for them to do, which they
will enjoy playing. With boys as
young as yours, it is an excellent
plan to have them jump for you and
run for you--not in competition with
each other, but one at a time —and
approve them generously.
This will get their confidence; they
will like you better; they will realize
that you are indeed interested in
them and their pleasure and then
when you tell them not to do some
particular thing, they will be much
more inclined to listen to you.
Rook ahead whenever possible and
manage to . occupy • their minds in
some agreeable way aforehand so
that it will not be natural for them
to want to do forbidden things. But
if they have already started, suggest
some new thing as soon after as pos
sible.
CHILD GETS SICK
CROSS, FEVERISH
IF CONSTIPATED
Look at tongue! Then give fruit
laxative for stomach,
liver, bowels.
"California Syrup of Figs" can't
harm children and
they love it.
A laxative today sates a sick child
tomorrow. Children simply will not
take the time from play to empty
their bowels, which become clogged
up with waste, liver gets suggish,
stomach sour.
Book at the tongue, Mother! If
coaled, or your child Is listless, cross,
feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn't
eat heartily, full of cold or has sore
throat or any other children's ail
ment, give a teaspoonful of "Califor
nia Syrup of Figs," then don't worry,
because it is perfectly harmless, and
In a few hours ull this constipation
poison, sour bile and fermenting
waste will gently move out ot the
bowels, and you have a well- payful
child again. A thorough "inside
cleansing" Is ofttimes all that Is nec
essary. It should be the first treat
ment given in any sickness.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.
Ask your druggist for a bott'e of
"California Syrup of Figs." which
has full directions for babies, chil
dren of all ages and grown-ups
plainly printed on the bottle. Book
carefully and see that it la made by
the "California Fig Syrup Company."
Do not be too strict. It is a good
idea, when they ask to do something,
to grant part of their request. For
example, if they want to play in
some new place say, "Yes. you can
play out there as far as the big tree,
but don't go beyond that." This
shows the idea. Keep them on
friendly te-ins with you all the
time.
Your children then will he easily
managed and you will all be hap
pier.

Common Ways of
Wasting Fat
To "eat fat just to save it" is as
unwise as it is ditllcult. A small
piece of bread left on a plate can
be eaten to save it from ending its
day In the garbage can, but fat is
not so easily and judiciously saved
from waste.
The Food Administration points
out that all the many ways of wast
ing fat should be thoughtfully avoid
ed by the housewife.
Dou you waste fat in any of these
ways?—
1 By serving baked ham with large
portions of fat on the edge.
By throwing away fat trimmed
from beef or other fresh meat.
1 By serving large butter or mar
, garine balls to each person.
By using heavy cream.
• By frying food In deep fat.
i By frying food when It would lie
1 as well or better to bake or stew it.
: By making pies or other pastries
when simpler desserts would be
' more nourishing.
Think it over, and see that these
sins are wiped off your slate.
SOVIETS ORGANIZE IN URUGUAY
Montevideo, Nov. 26.—A . circular

yesterday saying: "There has been

Maximalists.', • ,
v
I You Can't Brush or
Wash Out Dandruff
The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve It, then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary, liquid
arvon: apply it at night when retir
ing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger
1 tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning
i I most. If not all, of your dandruff
| will be gone, and three or four more
I applications will completely dissolve
aiul entirely destroy every single
■ sign and trace of it, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.'
You will find, too, that all ' king
and digging of the scalp will stop
! at once, and your hair will be fluffy,
' lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
, look and feel a hundred rites better.
You can get liquid anon at any
; I drug store. It is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work
