"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."
"Would he?" questioned Terry
gravely. "How well has that been
established, Mrs. Jimmie? Didn't

For the memory had come to me j

he'd ask one of them for help in

let your blooming scruples do him

Anthony Xorreys reflected for mo

"Yes—l'm with you, Terry, for
the point of all this is that you're
devoted to your pal, and want him

"That's a promise?" Terry eager

and insist that 1 must get a man.
Then he suggests that if he showed
Jim a bit about figures, probably

I ber would be able to take it on.
Of course Jim leaps to the rescue.
| How can you think of anything
I simpler, Mrs. Jimmie?"
j "The truth," 1 cried. "The truth!
II won't lie to Jim."
"But that's the beauty of it
j you don't do a thing except keep
j still," insisted Terry.
"I don't like it. I don't like it,"
I repeated. 'Please, please, Mr.
Xorreys tell Captain Winston you
won't be a party to this."
'He can't." broke in Terry stub
bornly. "He gave his word of
honor —and why you want to put
I obstacles in the way of your hus- ;
band's success, I can't see, Mrs.
Jimmie. Will you break Jim's
heart in idleness —or have me tor- >
ture his pride with assistance that :

little white lie? By Jove. I'd lie
myself blue in the face to stop Jim
from being hurt. Aren't you a pal
and helpmate and a good sport as
well as a wife?"
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? .

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

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

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.

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.' "
