"Mrs. Harrison?" questioned a lus

'That you, Anne?" came Jim's

'No—-to-morrow," I replied, gath

'Virginia won't be home—she has

TUESDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG GdSsj&l TELEGRAPH JANUARY 28, 1919.
■ think I'm going to get a particle of
, pleasure out of my evening if I'm
. conscious of you sitting all alone and
lonely waiting for your truant hus
• band to return to your side?"
I felt a sob catch in my voice at
I his irritation.
"Oh, Jim, I'll be at the canteen
to-morrow night!" I cried impulsive
ly. "Can't you change your engage
ment—so neither of us will have a
, lonely evening?"
, "Huh!" If that isn't just like a
woman!" Jim's voice snarled back.
"You do what you please when it
i pleases you—calling it charity, or
some fancy name—but I'm to change
an engagement that is far more busi-'
ness than naything else—though of
course it will be pleasant, too."
His voice modulated to amiability
as if some one there hearing him had
protested—l could vision that slim,
oriental-looking Miss West pouting
as he called his engagement a cold
i blooded business one. My everready
I imagination swung me away to more
painful hurts than the actual in
flicted by Jim's words,
i "Oh, go ahead, dear," I managed
• to reply. "I'll find something to do.
1 Maybe I can locate Evvy and Phoebe."
i "All right—amuse yourself and
I send the bill to me," replied Jim in
a tone of relief. "And don't pout.
After all, you get even by deserting
me to-morrow night. Oood-by girlie.
• Have to hustle!"
, I hung up the receiver and turned
away feeling utterly cast down. This
was the drab anti-climax to a day
of unhappiness and hurt, and im
potent blundering. Suppose I did
find Evvy and Phoebe—l wouldn't
be welcome, and how with merely "a
new French restaurant" as my ob
ject, could I hope to find htem?
It seemed to me that everyone was
busy—everyone was paired off save
of all the world. Drearily I went
only myself. I seemed the "odd one"
out into the kitchenette, put on a
little spider and broke two eggs into
it —then I noticed that I was still
wearing my hat. I turned off the
gas in the rings and went into my
bedroom to slip into a negligee. The
phone began to ring.
"Go on screeching. I don't care!"
I exclaimed vindictively, making no
move to go out in the living-room
and answer its summons.
Louder and more insistent grew
the silver shrilling of the bell. Of
course. Hadn't I just answered the
phone? The downstairs operator
knew that f was at home.
"Go on!" I reiterated stubbornly.
"I won't answer. It'll be to Mason
or Carlotta or Pat—someone who
only gets me down deeper in the
dust."
Then there came a ringing at the
hall-door. That I answered. It was
the grinning elevator boy.
"Don't you hear dat tellyphone,
ma'am? It a-rlngin' fit to rouse the
daid. And Nora she send me up to
see if you all's all right," he said
with puzzled Interest.
"I—l'm just answering," I replied
hastily.
I hurried over to the summons
which it appeared there was no es
caping.
"Hello" I said, impatiently.
"Hello! Mrs. Harrison at the phone?"
Rich and full and deep and kind a
voice answered me. It was Anthony
Norreys spunking.

0 MAKING THE MOST OF- ~
OUR CHILDREN
A Series of Plain Talks to
Children use methods on their par
ents just as truly as parents use
methods on them.
And children are equally as keen
when it comes to observing and prof
iting by the results. In fact, some
times they seem even more rational
on this point. As an example, many
parents have continued to whip their
children long after the results show
ed the method to be unwise.
Children will use a method only so
long as it is effective. When it
ceases to "work,',' they soon drop it.
But sometimes parents do not under
stand this—the child discovers the
means of securing attention and
works the method hard so long as it
pays.
To illustrate, a mother writes to
me:
"This morning our boy aged three
started the electric toaster as is his i
custom. .He usually takes the bread
oft the toaster also, but as the toast
was burning the father took off one
piece. Result—one dreadful howl.
We gave it to him to put in again to
pacify him; down on the floor he
threw it. His father took him into
the living room and talked to film
but nothing would appease him; he
howled and howled. Then I took him
upstairs and tried to hold him in bed
as punishment until we both were
exhausted. Please tell me what to
do as I am almost sick over it."-
The out-standing point in the an
alysis of your case is the fact that
you have given this boy entirely too
much attention at wrong times. For
example, when your husband took
oft the burnt piece of toast, and tho
boy ,tg up a howl, you certainly
looked upon it as an undesirable
thing for the child to do—and it was
—decidedly so. Then, in order not
to encourage the very same kind of
action in the future he should not
have been rewarded for his conduct
on this occasion. 'By giving the
toast to the child to put in again, he
virtually was rewarded. And scarce
ly anything worse could have been
done!
The fact that this boy threw the
toast on the floor after you offered
it to him indicates that he probably
has discovered on previous occasions
that he can put others into a box.
He finds a certain pleasure in getting
others tp go clear out of their way
to cater to his slightest whims. If
wrong methods are continued, this
boy later will be compelled to get
some very hard lessons in the world.
He will cause you endless trouble
unless you start in at once to leach
him that howling or screaming gets
him absolutely nothing. Don't even
talk to him when he starts a howl,
much less try to do anything with
bim. Simply pay the least possible
attention to him.
The big mistake that most parents
make In dealing with a boy of this
type is that they let the child's mood
influence theirs and consequently
they show temper. But this is very
unwise.
If you want the best results, show
a calm but firm attitude, which sug
gests to the child that you have the
situation absolutely in hand. Then,
you are in position, the moment the
boy shows the least sign of a friend
ly spirit, to respond to him courte
ously and thereby reward him for his
desired change of attitude.
Your child's obedience as well as
his self-control will practically be
assured if you are consistently
friendly, and at the same time, con
sistently firm when firmness is re
quired.

Seeing's believing, says the old
adage.
That's wrong. If we accepted it
as so, we would be fooled a hun
dred times a day. The fact is, not
one of our senses deceives us so
much or so oft,en as does sight. Why,
wjiat we actually see in every in
stance—that is, the image imprinted
on the retina—is upside-down: it is
only the familiarity with objects
gained by our sense of touch that
enables our brains to correct the in
verted vision.
No wonder that the blind man
suddenly endowed with sight cried
out that he saw men as trees walk
ing. They appeared to him head
downward with their . legs waving
in the air.
"Things are seldom what they
seem," warbles Little Buttercup in
Pinafore. "Skim milk masquerades
as cream."
So the truth is not that we be
lieve what we see, but that we see
what we believe.
This was rather forcefully borne
in upon me the other evening. A
woman I have known quite a while
dropped in to see me. She is a
breezy, very much alive person, with
a hundred different interests, so ani
mated and buoyant that she is al
ways good company. I thought as
she came in that she was looking
especially fit, her cheeks glowing
and her eyes sparkling from a brjsk
walk, her fur collar drawn up about
her throat, and wearing a very be
coming, somewhat dashing hat.
As X say, I had known her, some
time, but I had never stopped to
consider her age. I had simply ac
cepted her at face value, as one gets
into the habit of doing with the peo
ple one meets In a city. I knew, of
course, she was beyond the first
blush of maidenhood; but If I had
been asked how much beyond I
would have been puzzled to answer.
Probably 1 should liave put her at
about thirty to thirty-five years old.
During the course of our conver
sation, though, I happened to men
tion another acquaintance of mine,
referring to her as a "dear old lady"
and speaking sympathetically of her
infirmities. I have never hesitated
in mentally assessing her age as in
the close neighborhood of t'.ireo score
and ten, and she looks every day of
slghty.
"Oh, do you know her?" said my
caller. "Why, she and I came from
the same town. We were school
girls together."
I stared at her in astonishment.
"But—but," I stammered before I
thought, "she must be years older
than you?"
She did not answer at once; then
a grim little smile liittcd across her
lips.
"Not so much as you might think,"
she said. "I believe the difference
between our ages is exactly five
months."
The conversation shifted then to
other topics, but each time I looked
at her during the rest of her call a
more'and more marked .change seem
ed to have taken place in her ap
pearance. I noticed now that her
neck—for she had thrown back her
furs —was drawn and stringy; that
her hair was touched up, that the
corners of her mouth sagged, and
that her face was etched with hun
dreds of fine, little lines. She grew
visibly old before my eyes.
And as if her confession had
loosed some measure of restraint she
held upon herself, her manner per
ceptibly changed. She was no longer
the assured buoyant woman who had
come in at my door, but querulous
and uncertain in her tone, even a
shade pessimistic.
Imagination, you will say. Pos
sibly: nevertheless my "whole im
pression of that woman has been
altered. Before that evening if I
had been a big man seeking some

sure I would pause and reflect. I
