ISJPHI thefaraiKi IPlj 0 MAKING THE MOST OF. ~ OUR CHILDREN A Series of Plain Talks to vl By Ray C. Beary, A-8., MJL President of the Parent* Aaociatkxv. Jhf Pircnti 4^ wf t n Inc.) I don't like to see a boy that's too prim. The boy who never tries the adult patience probably will not amount to much in the world. We want to see real life in a boy. We like to see him bubble over occasionally. But. at the same time, our houses must be kept in their foundatinons and if the baby is getting needed sleep, we probably will need to have a little understanding with the boys who sometimes bang the doors in a disconcerning way. Bet us take a simple case. One mother writes: "How can I get my flve-year-old boy to quit slamming doors and making such a racket in the house? One would think ho is trying to shake the house down sometimes. I_ don't like to be scolding him all the time but it seems like he forgets so easily." Discontinue all threats and do not talk any more about the noise which he makes. Approach him from a different angle. The first time he comes in to the house, smile and say, "Robert. 1 see you are improving." Tour boy very likely will not know what you niean and he will ask you. Then say, "You are improving about com ing into the room quietly. You came in much more quietly than you used to. You succeeded in closing the door almost without allowing it to slam at all. If you keep on improv ing, you soon will be able to come in and go out without making any more noise than father or mother makes." The sample conversation suggest ed above gives you the idea for the starting point. The next important thing is to give the boy a little drill in executing the process of going in and out the door in exactly the manner that you want 1t done. When you have a little spare time and the child is in a good mood, say, "Robert, come here." When he come, say, "I want to see if you can do as well as you did this morning about coming into the room. First watch me and then I want you to try it again.—See—l make it go real fast with this one hand and just before it slams, I catch it with this other hand and close it Just as quiet. Now you try it" The moment the boy starts. to close the door, say. "That's fine! Now try it through that door." (Point to another door). After he passes through the second door, say, "Why that's even better than you did this morning. I will try vou again to-morrow."

Advice to the Lovelorn BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX HER EMPLOYER'S SUGGESTION | DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: j I have been going out lately to sev j eral dinners and to the theater with : a girl friend and my employer, who is a married man. I also had him to dinner at my house, as his wife and ! family are away. Now he is very 1 anxious that 1 go on a trip with him ito meet his wife. Would this be all i right, provided I had a chaperon? I ye tells me his wife would not mind | it. as she would understand 1 would | love to go, as I enjoy his company so | much and I know the feeling is mu tUal' ANGIE. As you do not appear to be a friend ■ of vour employer's wife, this project ! of taking a trip to meet her is an i utterly impossible one, and I beg you not to consider it for a moment. More j over. I urge you to be particularly careful about accepting any invita tions whatever from an employer cap , able of suggesting this expedition. 1 l'eel that all young girls whose em ployers show a wish to have social relations with them outside the office are placed in a very difficult position and that they need to summon all possible wisdom and discretion. SHOI'LD SHE FORGIVE HIM? SS FAIRFAX: ! I have been going about with a young man for three years. News I came to me one day that he was seen with a young woman in the theater. When I repeated this he denied it. - Being very curious I went to the ! young woman herself, and she aid not i I found he had lied to me I dropped him. His friends tell me that he wishes to apologize. But there is another young man who wishes to keep company with me. Should I marry the first man or not? A. S. After three years you ought to know a young man well enough to decide whether you can forgive him for one offense. As for marrying him, that depends on whether you are in love with each other, and your letter does not sound as though you were. I wonder if you yourself can have tempted the young man to tell you a lie by being too exacting with him?

" When a Girl " By ANN LIS BE A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problems of a Girl Wife "You'd be glad to hear the true story of this evening's adventures," I repeated In sheer amazement. "Then you didn't believe Tom Ma son's story after all?" "I did not, but I was willing to let him get away with murder before there was the scene you seemed fairly panting to produce," retorted Jim sharply. "But, Jim, you gave him the im pression that you believed him in stead of me!" I wailed. "Saints preserve us —the woman's bound to' have the scene after all," Jim cried. "Now, listen, Anne, and prime that magnificent ,44-caliber brain of your for action. The way you were heading I was in for a grand splitup with Tom. This cozy little apartment at a mighty low rent looks good to me. "I don't want to move. I don't want to buy furniture just now. I don't want to get stuck for a bunch of rent money 'till I been on a decent payroll for a while and can afford a place as good as this at the price Rny one but Tom would be sure to charge. So just quit sputtering at our landlord like a tabby with her back up." "Jim—you shan't talk to me like that. I've had about enough for one evening." "Oh! I shan't talk to you like that, eh? And you've had about all you can stand?' stormed Jim. "How about me? My wife makes a fool of me, traipsing off with a bunch of women, and keeps me guessing for hours where she is—and then I come in and find her ranting all over the place because good old Tom Ma son told her she had wonderful eyes or something like that." I stared at Jim for a moment— trying to make my brain focus on his viewpoint But the closer I came to seeing it the less I liked it. Evidently Jim did not mind having men compliment me and flatter me either because he was so sure of me that he knew they couldn't touch me at all. A flash from a long-ago situation come to me like a moving-picture out-back. I was again at the Tow ers by the Sea. Sheldon and Dicky Royce were paying ridiculous sums to get the last rag monkeys in the place for Ewy and Sally—and hint ing in their half-sneering, half laughing manner that they consid ered my Jim a social pirate—a grafter who didn't pay his way. Resolutely I pushed that into a dark corner under the eaves in the attic of memory. "Jim, 1 want to get out of this apartment at once," I said. "Tom Mason may have come for that blue robe which I once told you he has repeatedly tried to force on me. But he was hiding—in the other room when I came in. And he tried to— make love to me. It was horrible. Let's leave here—at once, dear." "I can't, Anne," Jim replied in a tone that sounded as if he were throwing himself on my mercy. "It's the first of the month. Have you noticed that pile of bills on the table? The rent is paid up to the thirty-first. I can't waste all that money. Surely you won't ask me to —because of a hysterical notion?" "Jim, are you going to fail'me— in the first thing I ever asked of you?" I demanded sternly. "Oh, I wouldn't say that, dear," protested Jim, laughingly. But I went on unheedlngly: "I tell you Tom Mason tried to make love to me —to me. your wife! Now will you stay in his apartment at a figure that's really a personal favor " "To you, I suppose!" interrupted Jirp. Anne, please don't develop into one of those silly women who thinks that every m-n who glances her way is in love with her. Men say a lot they don't mean. And now that we've disposed of Mason —suppose you give me an idea if I'm to expect you to stay out till all hours every time you go to the canteen." "Wait a minute, Jim —let's get this straight," I replied in a voice I tried to make calm and even. "You want to stay in this apartment, be cause it's a great bargain—and so you choose to believe what Tom Ma son tells you in explanation of his presence here. I tell you he—an noyed me. And you reply that you don't want me to be the sort of silly woman who thinks every man who looks at her is in love with her. You dismiss it like that do you?" "In the name of reason, Anne — what do you want me to do? Go out and fight a duel with Mason? If this isn't all a figment of your Imag ination, tell me —did anything hap pen? For instance, did Tommy kiss you?" I felt myself stiffen and solidify into a mold. I had never been angrier In all my life, and yet I was only cold —icy cold. "No!" I said curtly. "No—after all, I can take care of myself, which is perhaps Just as well under the circumstances." Jim's answering laugh was ugly, young wife who can—take care dt herself doesn't some strolling home at 10 (Vslock at night. You haven't yet deigwed to tell me where you were." Wearily I realized that now I was not going to ask whose number Jim had called after he failed to get me at the canteen. Suddenly all my jealousy seemed to congeal to icy in difference, and I didn't even care. I was tired, miserable and disillu sioned. And I felt for the first since our marriage a sensation of separateness from Jim. Our inter ' ests were no longer the same. I | couldn't tell him of my experience i with Charlotta Sturges—nor of my desire to help this girl, who was a friend of his sister Virginia's hus- '• oand. "I got half way home—and then | I realized that I'd forgotten some-! thing." I replied to his question, and 1 the insistent gaze with which he' waited for me to speak. "So I got j ! off the car and walked back. The j j canteen was closed. Then I came i home." | "Well—of all the fool things! Then you were tired and peeved be-' I cause I was not waiting to greet you I —and you took it out on poor old i Tom!" cried Jim in a tone of great! relief. "Have it that way if you like. I'm: still very tired—unnerved. Would ( you mind if I stayed out here to night?" I asked.
