He had declared only a moment before that he'd stand by Terry. Now why didn't he do it? As if in answer to my thoughts, Terry picked up his cap and over coat and made ready to depart "Night, folks," he said , quietly. "I'll call the department in the tnqrhing, Anna (and let you know— Betty's address." Jim went over and slapped him en the shoulder. "That's the stuff, Terence, my boy," said he. !"No more mooning —Betty's all right—never a doubt of it My advice is when you get her where she has to listen, give her some idea of how you feel. Tell her how you got up in the air when she vamooses without leaving an ad dress." Terry's set face went a shade whiter. "Thanks for—the advice," he said coldly, and held his hand out to me. "Wait a minute—wait a minute. Don't go oft with a grouch." Jim cried. "Say, Terry, if I thought There was anything wrong with Betty 8., don't you think I'd be on the job—or if you needed me, eith er, for the matter of that?"

Now Jim encircled me with his left arm and laid his right hand on Terry's shoulder, and,, standing in that warm intimacy, he spoke in his most magnetic tones: "Lad, I've a big deal on. But don't you know I'd drop it like a flash if Betty was in any troyble. • Why, I'm as fond of her—as you are." ' At that Terry's face went a fine revealing crimson—which Jim ap peared not to notice —even when Terry said a hasty good night and dashed away. At once Jim began capering about in the greatest de light—like a happy boy. "I've' a big deal on, girlie, and I think it's going right We'll be.rich if it does, and my .lilac princess shall have strawberries, sugar-and cream—and pearls and rubies and fine cushions to sit on, too.

I'd like to keep mov ing, even if I find myself married to a captain of industry.',' "You cuts little thing.. Always ready with an answer. You'll al ways keep moving—and keep me chasing after you." Jim seized me in his arms and kissed me over and oVer again— quick, darting kisses that began by expressing his own exuberance of mood and ended by flaming to the consciousness that it tvas his wife he held in his arms. Closer and closer he drew me.. I wasn't the "pal" he had suggested, but his wife now. his sweetheart, oven as he was, no matter how he grieved or failed me. my man—for all time my man. "Do you love me?" whispered Jim. "Are you my girl—my little sweetheart?" "Yes,". I whispered: "I love you, Jim. 'I was afraid you had—had gotten tired of me.". "Tired of you?" Jim drew me closer. "Tired of you!" he laughed, and added with sudden seriousness: "But you won't ever hurt nie again by trailing around with Norreys, will you ?". At that I strugled to be free. An ugly tide of memory swept over me. There was something Jim and I must settle now— : once and for all time. "Jim. now you see that Bettv was really with me last night, don'.t you?" I asked.

One mother on being asked if her ! boy had yet passed through the | "dirty hands and face stage," re- ] plied that Jim had been in that' stage fdr the past ten years and. at' the present age of twelve, wasn't, showing any signs of stepping out! of it. And that isn't far from the usual situation, despite the fact that many parents consider ten or twelve to be the worst age. The fact is that boys of almost any age let loose, without parental insistence upon cleanliness, will invariably become, more and more careless about their personal appearance. Of course, at the beginning of i adolescence, when boys begin to I undergo marked physical changes, i and naturally began to want to make themselves attractive to those of the opposite sex, we find they paying more attention to the personal ap pearance. But it is important that parents should teach their children when young to wash their face and hands at least before every meal. One mother writes to me: "How can boys be kept from getting into the stage where they en joy dirty face and hands?' Boys do not really enjoy wearing a dirty face better than a clean one, I unless perchance thev have taken I, DAILY HINT ON FASHIONS | Z7S6 j| -flj'ij A STYLISH DRESS FOR HOME OR CABLING Waist 2766 and Bklrt 2758—Brcwn serge with facings of 'satin, was se lected for this model.

Then, of course, a dirty face is much pre ferred. ■ J But, as a rule, the situation is this: Boys have no natural horror to dirt, and they often have a decid ed dislike for llie washing process, so that this unpleasant idea about washing plus their natural laziness about doing uninteresting things, causes them to be neglectful. Parents should insist that all members of the lamily come to the table with clean faces and clean hands.

'•.* J harm to give a reason, that is based upon the health consideration. The principle thing, however, is sim ply to make this one of the practices that you expect of the children as a matter of course. Do not let any child out before ho has both hands ami faces absolutely clean. If you rigidly carry out this policy, the habit of cleanliness will be quickly performed In summer time, when the chil dren go barefooted, the face, hands and feet should be washed clean just before going to bed. Do not al low any child to go to sleep before he lius washed thoroughly. Adopt the same plan in regard to meals. Before a boy is old enough to cleanse himself, the washing opera tions should be conducted In a most cheerful manner. Take time. A little of the right kind, per haps a dash of good talcum powder, such us father uses when he shaves, will make thinks easier. Particularly avoid hurting the child's ears; make the whole process delightful and in teresting. | Tell u boy (hat you notice he Wushes just like some very inuch admired friend of liis and somehow tlie whole process will at once be come more decidedly enjoyable to him.
