Problems of a Girl Wife
CHAPTER LXVII
"I'm handing in my resignation
this morning, and I'll chase along
to Washington Sunday. Say, you
won't forget that letter, will you,
Jim?" asked Neal Jerkily next morn
ing just as he was leaving the house.
"Bless your heart, lnd, I'll give
you more than one letter. I know
a bunch of the big fellows over in
Washington."
"That's great, Jim. But don't for
get the heavy artillery. If I can
get induction papers in that It's all
I care for."
"I'll do my best for you, lad.
But'the first thing for you to do is
chase dawn to the loal draft board
and tell them where they can get
you if they want you."
"All right, Jim. I'll do whatever
you say. You—you couldn't tell me
anything I wouldn't do"—

THURSDAY EVENING HAIUUSBTTRG TELEGKXPBC DECEMBER 12, 1918.
Then, as if actually afraid of what
he might be going to say next, Neal
fled. As the closing door punctu
ated his words I turned to my hus
band with a happy laugh:
"You two!" I cried —'regular men!
There's Neal just dying to tell you
again that your example has made a
man of him and that he'll never be
able to thank you enough—and in
stead he shoots a few gruff sen
tences at you. I'd say it for him.
but my heart's so full I can't fish
out the right words."
"Oh, that's all right," broke in
Jim uneasily, "I Just helped the kid
find himself. It didn't do to let him
think of himself as a slacker. I
only slung a few words at him.
That's nothing Anne. But, honey,
what tickles me is that I'm going
to be able to do something for
Terry.' •
Jim rose to test his ankle gin
gerly. He winced with pain, but
managed to grin and say that the
old ribs weren't cracking under the
strain at all—so, one Jajnes Hunter
I Harrison would assuredly report for
j work Monday.
I So with a kiss on my boy's fore
head, I left him to his work and
I went about mine. I wanted to fling
j myself into Jim's arms and engulf
: him in a torrent of love and grati-
I tude because of what he had done
for Neal—but Jim wasn't in a mood
| for heroics, so my emotions had to
be stifled.
During the morning Phoebe
phoned, but there was no word from
Virginia. The doctor's farewell visit
and lunch punctuated our day.. In
the early afternoon Evvy came
breezing in with the announcement
that Neal's remarks about sickness
in the family had haunted her ever
since the night before and so she
had just been compelled to come
| and see what she could do for us.
j She greeted me with nonchalant
! indifference. She seemed to have
| forgotten our quarrel and the oc
i casions when she had phoned and
j ignored me. I couldn't tell whether
it meant serene enmity—or friend
i ship too well established to be
| broken lightly by a mere misunder
: standing. Toward my Jim she was
all sunshine —as bracing as an Octo
ber day. There was no question of
i her attitude toward him.
"You poor lonesome boy!" she
I cried. "Being sick is such a bore —
if you'd only sent for me, Anne, I

would have been delighted to Come
over and amuse Jim. Was he cross
as two sticks? Would he like to
play checkers now.'
I'd love a game of checkers, re
turned Jim. "Quarter a corner—
eh?"
"Give us the checker-board, will
you, Anne?" said Evvy with an air
of cameradie. "Oh, Jim, Anne's
shocked because I'm going to play
for money!"
"Nonsense, Evvy. Anne knows
how games bore a fellow unless
there's a little stake."
"It isn't that," I. said, trying to
persuade myself that Evvy's fond
ness for Jim was merely an expres
sion of old and loyal friendship;
"but I haven't an idea where there
is a checker-board."
"Over in the carved chest," Evvy
cried. "You don't mean to say Tom
never showed you the secret com
partment of that chest?"
Whereupon Evvy ran across to
the chest and lifted the lid.
"Why, you never got your blue
robe back from Tom! Aren't you
friends with my big cousin any
more? How mean! He was so fond
of you Anne!"
1 felt a barb in each word and
suddenly it seemed to me strange
almost insulting—that Jim wasn't
showing a shadow of jealousy. Yet
so absorbed was I in my thoughts,
that 1 didn't see what secret spring
her lingers manipulated—but sud
denly the seeming bottom of the
chest lifted up and a narrow com
partment was revealed. There —
lying in a mass of papers and sealed
packages was the game of checkers,
i have a feeling that some day 1
will be sorry that I didn't notice the
, spring that opened that secret com
partment. . And even now I wish I
had made a point of asking Evvy
to show it to me.
With an air of being completely
at home, Evvy established herself
and the checker game across from
Jim, and then they settled down to
moving those little red and black
disks about, the board with com
plete forgetfulness of my existence.
Jim lost from the very beginning
and the little pile of coins in front
at Evvy was soon absurdly large.
"Now I'll play .you double or
quits," she cried eagerly.
Jim agreed. It didn't seem to oc
cur to them that for almost two
hours I had been fussing about on
i the edge of things, trying to busy
| myself with sewing and prepara
tions for tea. -Then just as they
j were settling down to their cham
' pionship game, in came Sheldon to
I take Evvy home.
She looked up with a pout which
changed to an amused twinkle as
; she made a suggestion that Sheldon
I take me out for a breath of air.
"That will give Anne a bit of an
! outing—and I'll wager it will, be
i the very first she's had since our
Jimmle took up home-life."
i "Hine —like nothing better than to
lure the beautiful bride away from
'the groom, for an hour or so," said
j Sheldon amiably.
All too readily for my happiness
' Jim seconded the idea. And so I
had to go off and leave my hus-
I band and Evvy cosily established in
our little home —together. And per
fectly contented about it.
I began to wish that Jim might
sometime be jealous—as I often
was. I wondered if it was exactly
' in my power to make him Jealous.

>! Making the Most.
of Our Children
By
, Ray O. Beery, A. 8., M. A.
President of Purents' Association
'
Is lour Child Bocouiing an
Autocrat?
1 have seen that autocratic gov.
ernment is ijad for nations. It is
, equally bad for homes.
In fact, the desire on trffe part of
selfish adults to rule others arbit
, rarily, and on a large scale, s'arts
with the childish habit of command
' ing others in the faini.y.
Children early must be taught that
they cannot expe:t evfcrything l'or
i which they ask and that the atten
tion they can command of others
| j has certain limits. Of course, we
• j want our children to have a squa-e
i j deal but we do not want them
! unreasonable.
' Let us take a concrete case. A
mother writes to me.
| My three-year-old boy is docile
■ most of the time and sometimes he
iiis so very wilful. For example, to
' | day, when I said, "Come on Max,
. J you want to grow big and strong
'; like the soldier boys, so let's fake
' a nap," he began to cry and said,
"I don't want to take a nap." I
en said, "would you like mother
to sing?" He said he would, but I
, hadn't sung more than two words
when he announced, "I don't want
you to sing. I want a drink. I had
i just given him one but I got him
another and set him hack in my lap.
. Then he wanted to get into his,
, and then he wanted me to
rock him, but,as I had my dishes to
i do, I said, "Look here, Max, mother
. did rock you and you wanted to
[ come to bed. Now you must try
to go to sleep here like a soldier and
I'll play a piece for you on the Edi
! son." He cried and cried and di
" rectly 1 stopped the music and he
. said, "I want to hear the music,"
etc.
Your little son evidently is start
j ing out to rule your home in regular
( autocratic style.
p It is a mistake to try to reason
with a child as young as yours about
something you want hint to do. Of
course, after he has consented to
j do what you request, then there is
no objection to making him feel
{ good by talking about how the sol
. dier boys do. But it really iB better
( not to try to make an appeal by tell
ing what the soldiers do and then
, say, "So let us." This puts up to
, him too much. He feels that if he
i would rather not go to sleep he does
not need to.
i If you didn't care whether your
child took a nap or not, it would be
I all right to ask him whether he
wanted to and if he didn't then say
i no more about it. But you certainly
have decided definitely that it is best
! for him to take a nap. Then, the na
l i tural thing to do is to let him realize
. J this by the use of the fewest words
I possible.- Simply Insist upon this
t, without the least suggestion to the
, contrary. Children ure exceedingly
r quick to detect the slightest sign of
weakness.
When your child started to cry
: and said, "I don't want to take a
I nap r " you should not have paid the
least attention to his remark. To
ask him if he wouldn't like for you
to sing to him shows him that he can
j work you. When he tells you to stop
I and you stop, he delights in his in
j creasing power and ability to com
mand you. Children love this sort
of attention.
When a child asks for a drink aft
er some time has passed since he
drank, offer him a drink at once,
but if he asks immediately after
wards, you can be sure he simply
wants needless attention. Never give
him this kind. Just ignore requests
that are unreasonable.
When your boy wanted to get out
of bed, it would have been better not
to go to the trouble of explaining
to him that you had just been rock
ing him* All such explanation is
unnecessary and unwise. Your ac
tions always speak louder than
words, therefore do not use many
words. Let him understand quietly
and very clearly that he is to stay in
I bed.
Never let your child influence you
tov change a decision by crying or
tulking. When you carry out the
policy in regard to steeping, he may
cry hard for a time or two, but
don't make the mistuke of reward
ing him in any way, and after he has
taken his three or four good cries
on consecutive duys, he will discon
tinue it as naturally as can be.
Play with this little fellow en
thusiastically—get him to like .you.
Then show hint clearly what you ex
pect of him. He very soon will be
under your control where he should
