(Copyright, 1918, by Kings Features Syndicate, Inc.) "Hullo, you two —you look like old pals already!" Terry Winston's voice greeted us from the doorway and it rang with delight at the comfy little tableau Anthony Norreys and I presented as we sat at the refectory table porr ing over a sample balance sheet he was directing me how to make so I might understand the work Jim must do to become what this fine war veteran persisted in calling his "right-hand man." "Mrs. Harrison and I speak the same language, Terry—that makes for clear understanding," said An tony Norreys, simply. "Well,( that's more than can be said for me and my blessed pal in there," Terry laughed ruefully. "Dear old Jimmie —he's as sensitive as an unbroken thoroughbred, and I'm such a cowardly old hack that 1 daren't try to break the fine spirit of him. Forgive me. Mrs. Jimmie—but I never said a word to Jim about Norreys and business. I was in a blue funk for fear he'd tako a stand and refuse the post just because friends had found it for him." 'He won't do that!" I protested. "Jim may be both sensitive and proud—bless his heart —but you and ! Betty mean so much to him. he'd accept favors from you as gener ously as he'd offer them."

Don't you feel the truth i of that,* Mrs. Jimmie?" "Yes 4 " I confessed slowly, "I do." I For the memory had come to me j of how Jim could accept casual so cial attentions from his friends —dinners and motor rides, where i he felt that his society repaid them ! —and yet how he had told me pas sionately that he'd starve before he'd ask one of them for help in j finding work. I had let Jim take the inspectorship, which had shat- i tered his newly recovered health. ' So far 1 hadn't helped him at all on ! i the road to finding his place in the I | business world. And now.

"C aptain Terry, I'll not be a party I "I to the deception of my husband, ! i but if you see a way to help Jim j without his knowing, I'll not stop you," I said quietly. It was a vow. "I want more than that your help. Now listen. Up to the point of saying that this job can't be j handed to Jim as a gift—we agree, don't we?" "Yes. Now what?" I asked. ! j "Here's the next step.

I turned my eyes from Terry's compelling ones and caught An thony Xorreys gazing at me with kindly understanding. "Well, Mrs. Jimmie?" Terry's voice demanded reply. He was an old friend of Jim's —a devoted friend. Why, instead of reiving on his judgment did I want to turn to Anthony Norreys for ad vice? I walked over to Terry and held out my hand. "I'll do whatever you think best for Jim," I said. "Anne!" called a voice from the doorway. "Anne!" It was Jim. How much had he heard? . (To Bo Continued.)

OUR CHILDREN V ■ A Series of Plain Talks to Ray C Beery, A.8., president of the Parents Association, (Copyrighted, 1918, by The Parents Association, Inc.) I Does your child show signs of jealousy.' A jealous person generally is un | popular. He is pessimistic, self-cen | tered, he pities himself and often as sumes an anti-social attitude toward those whom he Inwardly admires and with whose talents and accomplish ments he is always comparing his own. It is all well and good for us to have pride in ourselves and even to strive to excel, but selfishly to com pare ourselves others brings unpleas ant thoughts and invariably leads to unhappiness. Jealousy in adulthood is the result of jealousy in childhood. As parents, let us hot permit this detestable and degarding trait to develop in our children. "Even our child only eighteen months old shows decided signs of jealousy, is this not unusual? Please advise a cure," writes one mother. Jealousy in a child as young as eighteen months is not uncommon. While it is a habit, yet it will not be nearly so difficult for you to over come as If the child were several years older, Let us look for the causes of jealousy. Perhaps the most common cause is that the child thinks that some one else is treated better han he is. This idea is very often fostered by an older child who has a slight tendency to bully. For example, an older child may, through his love for teasing, hold up something which the younger child cannot have merely to taunt the latter. Jealously is also caused by sim ple imitation. When any member of the family is seen by a younger child to assume the attitude that he is not getting a square deal, the young er child will very quickly assume a similar attitude. And after the child is allowed to practice this at tiude on consecutive days, It becomes a habit. . To cure this habif, the causes men tioned above must be entirely re moved. When you have playthings or candy, or anything to give to the children, divide them in such a way that all will be satisfied. Laugh and make them all have a good time. Simply do not tolerate any one child to compare his gift or privileges with that of any one else. Comparisons stimuate children to Jealousy. There fore. do not permit them to be made at all. To avoid antagonizing the child who starts to make a comparison say somiifting like this, "Yes, yours is nice, and brother's is nice, too. They are both nice." The child who start ed the comparison will probably not Daily Dot Puzzle 2o J 8 •21 • '7 • , \ \ '4* #ls • 4 nN-v 25 \ 23 # *> Y 13 24. \\ 27 r 4 1 • •7\ ! 33 31 M • • A 37 34 # 3o 7 • *>• * 3. . 38 4-' 45 # 4 • „ * • a J 7 ( 42- 43 #44 4fe \ What kind of a flower is this? Draw from on 6 to two and so on to the end. continue after your tactful remark, but If he should you should speak to him in a low, confident tone, let ting him understand that he is to discontinue making comparisons be tween his possessions and those of the others. One mother wrote a few days ago that her two boys were extremely Jealous of each other, which jealousy I found was due to her putting too much emphasis upon which one beat dressing in the morning. She should not have spoken about beating at ail, but sh,ould have spoken encourag ing words to both about how quickly they accomplished their tasks. Do not allow an older child, or any one in your family, to talk about being "put upon" or about others being more fortunate in any way. because this not only makes a bad example,, but the habit itself in the one speaking only brings more un happiness. Search out a good point in others about you and tell those - in your children's presence. If you accustom your children to It while they are young, they will learn actually to like to hear and tell about the good points and traits in those about them —They will like it as well, in fact, as poorly trained children seem to like gossips and fault-finding. Approve your children a great deal, and as a general rule, make it a point to approve all the children in your presence in some way rather than singling out some one. The spirit of jealousy will gradually leave your home and feelings of pleasure and happiness will take its place. Advice to the Lovelorn HIT BEATRICE FAIRFAX A VANISHED ACQUAINTANCE DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am IS. considered sweet looking, and work in a very fine organiza tion. The above sounds egotistical, but to make myself clear it is esen tial. Now, my dear Miss Fairfax, re cently at business I became acquaint ed with a fine gentleman in every sense of the word, and he in turn ap peared to like me, and asked if he might call. The other evening he called, and I introduced him to my parents, and we spent a very pleasant evening, and he made quite an im pression in my home. He showed every sign of liking me, and promised to call ine up the next day to take me to lunch. He did not. and now a week has passed and I have not heard from him. Do you think that he Just came to see what kind of a home I had. and not be|ng pleased with it, decided to drop the affair? A PATIENT READER. Whatever this young man's motive may have been for treating you so rudely, you should not overlook it without satisfactory apology. As you present the case, it looks as though you had been mistaken in con sidering him so complete a gentleman. Don't you think so? HER EMPLOYER'S GIFTS DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am 17 and a stenographer. My employer often gives me little gifts. Is it the proper thing for me to ac cept them. I am sure he means noth ing but Just friendliness. He is about 50. _. A CONSTANT READER. This is a problem you must handle very carefully. No doubt your em ployer think of you as scarcely more than a child and offers gifts in pure friendliness. For this reason you will wish to be frank and considerate in your manner. But be prompt to dis courage any other spirit in him and decline firmly to accept gifts that have any value. You can tell him, no doubt with perfect truth, that your mother does not allow you to receive gifts of value. A situation of this sort is always so hard for a young girl to manage that I warmly sym pathize with your perplexity. AS TO PU'BI.IC LOVE-MAKING DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: Will you decide a question of con duct? I am 18 and in love with a man two years my senior. We often go out together evenings and on Sundays, and what worries me. Miss Fairfax, is that this young man al ways tries to put hlq arm about me in public. I tell, him it isn't proper, but he says if I love him I need not be ashamed. We have many disputes Folks say I'm always smiling. Good rear son why—— POST jJSjOASTIES (Wondjrful y'Smm cornflake*) . 3?^ about this, but have agreed to let you settle it. ROSA S. You are quite right, Rosa, as to the unsuitablllty of public demonstrations of love. But though you ought to convince your lover of this, still I hope you won't be too severe with him. When the girl ls very charming and the young man very much in love an occasional lapse from formal con duct can easily be understood. EAGER FOR FRIENDSHIP DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am 21 and a few weeks age want to work for a concern that offered me unlimited opportunities. I was invit ed to n>y emplyoyer's home for dinner, and met his daughter. Since then she has paid ine almost daily vists. I find that I am Interested In her and am beginning to think she is interested in me. Would It be proper for me to ask her to go to a theater with me, and how should I go about it?. Or should I wait till she Invites me to her home? I am very anxious to have her as my friend, because I have no girl friends and if I did really meet the one I could like, life would probably look better to me. Her father, my em ployer, likes me very much and treats me like his son. A FRIEND. I should say that you had on un commonly radiant prospect. Since your employer is so friendly and the young woman herself so frank In her liking for you, why need you be timid? By all means Invite her to the theater if you wish. You might write her a note of invitation, or telephone her if you prefer, and- at the same time ask her what play she would like to see. VINDICTIVE ENEMIES DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: When I was about 16 I knew some boys who were not of the best. They say untrue things of me and now, that I am 18, and have gotten to know a very nice man I am puzsled. I am willing to face these men with my friend.

Of course you realize from this painful experience that you must al ways bo extremely careful with whom you associate, even though you do no wrong.

But somehow I cannot help believing that when one ls profoundly in earnest the accent of truth is unmistakable. If it proves necessary to bring the subject up at all, tell your new friend that you have been cruelly slandered, and I think he will know you are speak ing the truth. HE DARKENED HIS GRAY HAIR They Used to Call Him Grand pa; Now They Call Him Kid. Tells How He Did It. Mr. J. A. McCrea, a well khown resident of San Francisco, who was called Daddy and Grandpa on ac count of his white hair, and who darkened it with a simple home made mixture, recently made the fol lowing statement: "Anyone can perpare a simple mixture at home, at very little cost, that will darken gray hair, and make it soft and glossy. To a half pint of water add 1 ounce of bay rum, a small box of Barbo Compound and ounce of glycerine. These in gredients can be bought at any drug store at very little cost. Apply to tho hair twice a week until the de sired shade is obtained. This is not a dye. It does not color the most delicate scalp, is not sticky or greasy and does not rub off. My friends now call me 'Kid.'
