"I went —because seemed to think he needed some H>lp I could give him. 1 didn't rv\en tell Father Andrew, because .6 have standards at home that you might think old-fashioned.

He told ifte over the phone that ho wanted to get' me there primarily to talk I about himself. Then when he had I his chance he talked whole para ! graphs about Evvy and Phoebe and I Neal and you " j "Precisely. And said nothing about Jeannle. Proving that he j isn't thinking much about hen. Anne, 1 hate the idea of divorce. But I hato the position Jennie's in now still worse. She's neither tied —nor free." "It's a bad position, Jim, I'm com ing to see that. So I try to forgive her when out of her bitterness she hurts me —and perhaps ruins Ncal's j happiness-—and Phoebe's." j Jim shook his head with patient indulgence when 1 said that —and reaching across the couch, drew mo roughly to him —and held me close I for a record. I could see from the superior triumphant expression on his face when he freed me, that ho had little belief in my power to j draw conclusions and was—in tlnf 1 flush of his first success —■ coming back to his inherent belief in mas culine superiority. In a moment he put into words the thing that t felt. "Listen to me, little girl. hen you're reporting a conversation, your memory and your vivid inter est in people give every word you repeat a great deal of charm and value. But don't try to figure out I what is going on in.people's minds — i because you're not much of a judge !of human nature. That's why I j forgive yod when you're horried to my Jcanie." I I tore myself from his lingering I arms and sprang to my feet. | "So I'm no judge of human na ture. 1 didn't make friends with your Jerry at once.

But you fell j down on Betty, who's the salt of | the. earth. And you don't 'get Jennie at all." His superiority hurt. I felt be littled, and 1 turned away. Here I had been trying to do something big mid constructive and helpful for Vir ginia—and Jim only laughed at me as if I were a cunning kitten, whose antics amused him. And in a tno- I ment he seemed to forget that I had once been a successful business wo- I man and that I'd stood by him in his hour of need. If a day or two of success was going to make him assume this patronizing attitude to ward me, what could I hope for if he ever really made himself felt in ■the business world? i "Then you don't care to know | what Mr. Dalton said about your sis ter?" 1 asked in a tone that I didn't j have to struggle very hard to make i ool(? and aloof.. | Jim rose and sauntered oyer to me with a tolerant and pleased air of - possession. He put his hand under 'my chin and tilted my face up for j his kiss. Then with a secure air of | certainty and leisure, he ran his I lingers through my hair. ! "Pretty little lilac princess—what i vast piece of evidence have you ex | tracted from Pat this day?" he asked j indifferently. ; Across my mind here flashed a i picture of Pat Dalton leaning across ; the tea table and murmuring with | an eager note I'd never heard before ! in his reckless voice: | "Virginia what does she say about me? * * * Jeanie never [ mentions me * * * Jeanie— I well, I might have known that. She wouldn't." I knew that meant something. But if 1 told Jim in his present mood lie would only laugh at nte. "It really doesn't matter what he said. Virginia isn't the least inter ested in him any more, is she?" I asked with seeming innocence. Jim's eyes darkened to green— the remote green that marks the i moments of reserve when lie goes I into himself and will reveal nothing jof what he thinks and feels. I couldn't read his eyes. At last lie answered co,ldly: "When Jeanie wants to give you her conlidence Anno she will do so, : I suppose."

Beery, A.8., M.A- President of the Parents Association. Y fs Just before Christmas Jittle boysl and little girls are supposed to be as J good as they can be, so that dear old Santa Claus will fill their stock ings full of wonderful presents. And many actually do act like different children for a few days pre-1 ceding Christmas morning. This is I true principally because parents of- j ten teli their children if they are | not good, old Santa will leave their | stockings empty. Is this plan advisable or not? Let us see. One mother writes to me: "Our two boys, six and four, here of late seem to delight in coming to me and telling things on each other. I told them a few days ago when they had been annoying me that Christmas was coming and the one that behaved better is the one that Santa Claus generally gives the greater number of presents. Do you think this has started the boys to tattling? XVliat should I do now, under the circumstances?" Yes. your reference to Santa Claus very likely has started the habit of tattling. It is unwise to tell chil dren that if they are not good. Santa will overlook them or' that if they "are nice," he will give them many presents. This is simply buy ing obedience and buying obedience, las if it were merchandise, is never wise. The next time your six-year-old boy comes to you and begins to tell a tale on his brother, let him finish it without saying anything, just lis- • tel to him until he stops naturally; | i then, when he is ready to hear whati you have to say, look him stqgdily in I iho eye, and say slowly. "Well, now, | let mo see —ds you knoW'of anything; good about him?" Look him in the| eye and then let a little smile break I through gradually. He will smile, | sheepishly, and •if treated in the | same way each time that he begins THE HEART BREAKER A REAL AMERICAN LOVE STORY By VIItGINIA TKRHUJVE VAN Dl. WATER CHAPTER XXI (Copyright, 1918, Star Company) , Still in silence, Arthur Bruce drove the Brent girls to their front gate, then jumped out of the car and helped them alight. Mildred continued to sob softly, and Arthur tried to slip his arm about her waist and lead her up the front path. But slje pushed him aside and hurried to/ the house, her sister following her.J Yet, as Honora tjfted the key into the front door, the younger girl turned impulsively toward the man standing at the foot of the steps. "Arthur," she murmured tremu lously, taking a quick step to him and holding out both hands, "you are not angry with me, are you? Really, I am sorry—at least, I did not see any harm in my going to night. It was all just for a little lark." . The man took the tiro small hands in his and looked up imo the flushed face above him. "There 1 , there, dear!" lie soothed; "of course you meant no harm. But I wish you had not said you were going somewhere else—to a movie with a girl from the office." "Why, Arthur!" The exclamation was fraught with genuine aston ishment. "I never sai*l anything of the kind! I never even thought of going with any girl anywhere to night. Where did you ever get that idea? What do you mean?" "Nothing never mind!" the man said hastily. "I was probably mistaken." "And you are not angry with me?" she urged. "You are sure?" A Hard Position "Very sure," his lips twitching nervoiusly. "Now, dear, please go right in the house and to bed. We can talk all this over, at some other time." "You will come to see me soon, won't you ?" was the plaintive re quest. "Yes; you know I will," lie prom ised. "1 cannot help it, and if I colud help it, I wouldn't." He raised her hands to his lips, kissed them and then turned away, "Good night," he said, starting down the path as Mildred went into the door that Honora now opened. The older girl stood aside and al lowed her sister to pass. Then she herself ran down the front steps. "Arthur!" she called. The man stopped and came back to her. Ho had driven home with- HARRISBURO TELEGRAPH I a selfish harangue, he soon will dis j continue it naturally. Parents sometimes threaten their children about Santa Claus without i a thought about carfying out the threat. . For example, "Clarence, if you pinch Sister another time, I won't let Santa leave you any drum j to-night." And then, even though j Sister's arms does get pinched a j couple of times, Clarence gets his i drum and nothing is ever said about ! the threat. This is especially had. It is a falsehood and most certainly will It tend to lessen the children's trust in the mother. Even if parents kept their prom ises. it is unwise to talk about the children's behavior. There is no good • reason why children should behave better just before Christmas than at any other time. Children who are cautioned about being good just before Christmas and who be have just to get more presents are even harder to control' if anything after Christmas morning. In fact, we often find that these children be gin at once to quarrel over their presents. The better way is to let our chil dren understand that they are ex pected to behave properly at all times—after Christmas as well as before—and that we appreciate good behavior as well at one time as Jin other. Children generally tend to do what they are expected to do. If parents expect their children to exert themselves just before Christ mas, and talk about it, the children will do it. But we don't want spas modic behavior. We want consis j tent good conduct. Let us then ,! make every suggestion pdint toward I our real desire. Let us give our children a few 'gifts, which we know will be appre *l dated and present them in the- true | spirit of giving. This will deepen | the children's love for us and after- II wards they will be inclined to re i spect us even more instead of less. out his hat, arid the wind had blown his hair until it was rumpled and curly. ' It reminded Honora of the way it had looked When he was a little boy. The recollection brought a lump to her throat. "Arthur," holding out her hand, "you forgot to tell me good night, didn't you? If you Were anyone else, I would have let you go with j out reminding you of this face. But we are old friends, and I want to I thank you for all you have done I to-night. I am sorry for what has happened. 1 really could not pre vent it." He looked into her eyes with a searching gaze. *You mean," he said, "that you did not know where Milly was—that you did not know she had gone driving with Chand ler? I am glad you did not know. I believe that you did not when you told me what ydu did. But I can/ not how you wore kept in ignorance of the affair." She clasped her hands t(ghtly. The situation was Intolerable. No Kxplnuation "I did not say 1 , did not know Milly had gone with Tom Chand ler," she tried to explain. • "I said I could not prevent it." "tJut you knew of It?" ' She longed to lie. Bpt she had done this once to-night, and was already reaping the cruel conse quences. Moreover, it was not in her nature to tell a falsehood to shield herself. "I—l knew it after she had gone," she admitted. "Then whefi you told me that Mildred was at a moving picture show with a friend from the office, you—you—wfe'l, to put It politely, you did not mean what you said ? You were aware that at that time Mildred was oft with Tom Chandler in his car?" f She nodded, too miserable to speak. "I cannot explain. "I am sorry," she said In a low voice. • "So am I," Arthur Bruce agreed gruffly. Then, with a sudden straightening of the Bhoulders, he took her hand. "It must be all right some way, Honora," ho said, "since you Hid it. At least —you must have thought you had some good reason for the deception. Only I cannot understand, to save me, why, after, all these years of per fect confidence and good friendship, you should have gone out of your way to tell me an unnecessary story." He paused hopefully as if waiting for her to make some explanation. liA't when she did not speak, he Continued: "I am not asking for your rea sons, however. You must know," giving her hand such a grasp as he might have given a man's hand, then dropping it, "that a thing like this, Incomprehensible us It Is to me, cannot spoil a friendship like ours. "You have been too good to me for me to allow that. So we are friends still —if you willpermit it. Only, dear girl, please deal with me squarely and frankly hereafter. It is so much the wiser plan al ways, you see. "You know." when she did not speak, "that if you were trying to save me discomfort, you went about jit the wrong way. Honestly, it hurt Ime more to discover what I did later than if you had to'd me the plain truth in the very beginning. Good night!" She steadied her voice to return his "Good night," and stood where she was until the sound of his de parting car had died away. Then she went wearily up the path and into the house. (To Be Continued) Life's Problems Are Discussed The world is flooded with all kinds of useful inventions, we multiply labor saving devices, but somehow, or other, we have failed to multiply happiness. Suppose our great-grand parents could take a bird's eye view of life as it is lived to-day with all of oifr household conveniences, our sanitary plumbing, our modern meth ods of heating and lighting, our con quest of space through rapid transit; the ease with which we talk to friends at a distance, without lifting our voices; our ready-to-wear cloth ing, by which we may acquire a whole season's wardrobe In half a day, if necessary, and a thousand other things which are freeing the humhn race for bigger efforts than the strug gle with material obstacles. These great-grandparents, consid ering their own experiences on the earth plane, would probably be lost in surprise that we are not all as happy as kings. Only, strange to say, the great majority of persons are not. "I Could be so happy if" is the universal wall, or, "Everything would be all right but for" The#e they stand, those "ifs" and "buts," towering mountains between us and Elysium. Seven-tenths of the letters I get may be divided into ree groups —love affairs that won't run smooth, Unbearable home conditions and fi nancial worries. Considering a philosophy of life, we can't get very far away from the old nursery rhyme: "For every evil under the sun. There is a remedy or there's none-; If there is one, try and find it. If there is none, never mind it. It condenses the wisdom of the ages, but Its application Aa as dif ficult ns its rhyme is simple. The most perplexing problems are those of the home. Romantic diffi culties may be readjusted In the twinkling of an eye, and there Is al ways the possibility of a change of heart and''the new love taking the place of the old; and the same is true of financial difficulties, persistent ef fort may have its reward, or oppor tunity may open new doors, although the broken-hearted aqd the financlally ambarrassed would probably regard this as a rosily optimistic view. But I am considering now the let ters which describe unhappy home conditions. Of course harmonious family life Is the most beautiful thing in the world, but when it is inharmononlous it Is plain hudes, and it takes the wisdom of Solomon to know how to meet its many perplexi ties. * One reason for its difficulties is that a number of individualities are thrown into constant, intimate asso ciation. They may and usuaally do have different tastes and interests and loeals. They $ll look at life fro-m dif ferent angles. Friction Is almost cer tain, especially as good manners are usually adjourned; and the members for some strange reason feel privi leged to sav to each other things they wouldn't dare titter to an acquaint ance without being swatted. Then we all have periods in our lives when we can't make up our I minds Just what to do. We are moody and undecided; or we are out of tunc with everything; or - we seem bpnt on doing something which appears quite Idiotic to our friends. At such Upnes It Is difficult for i the interested onlookers to withhold j advice or criticism, but if they could j be brave enough to do so and let us work the thing out In our own way MOTHERS © *™ * Reduce your doctor's bill* by keeping always on hand — j[!A JGGL NEW PRICES—3Oc, 60c, 91.20 at our own time, or else let us come that cropper that we have invited and learn the lesson that can only be pounded into us by a good hard jilt, why everything would probably come out all right. But it's only a very wise family that can keep hands off at such seasons. Every individual .case is different, but there ought to be certain gen eral rules which might be put to work and achieve some desirable results. The best thing to do un der any difficult circumstances is to decide that no matter how black .things look, we at least are going to think and act as constructively as possible. Live and let live is a good motto, but there should be just as much emphasis laid on the "live" as on the "let live."
