Beery, A.8., M.A. WMipIV President of the Parents Association. - T The shame of it! That any father should knowingly stand as a stumbling block in the way of a mother's control over her child! Yet, unfortunately, there are some of this kind. Let us take a typical case. A mother writes to me. 'My four-year-old daughter is a sweet little girl and obeys me will ingly when she and I are alone. But, she is getting so she does not mind when her father is around, for he says there is no use in doing it. This may happen at the table or at any other time. When daugh ter refuses me, then he reminds me that I do not have as good control as he has. He loves the child but is jealous of my control, please help me." When the father comes home, both you and your daughter should carry out the idea of trying to make him happy and cheerful. Then, just after the daughter is tucked into bed. you should tell your husband how much fun daugh ter had in trying to prepare a pleasant surprise for him. If you can do so truthfully, tell him that the daughter kept repeating with you, "Won't father enjoy this?" Shortly after telling your liusand Don't Catch Cold I and allow it to nia into Pneumonia.

TUESDAY EVENING, ■ nbout how you planned for his pleasure, which will certainly please him, say something like this: "Do you have any suggestions for me to carry out in train ing Lucile? I want to do the best I can and want your help when you have any suggestions. I think she should be trained to love and obey both of her parents. I have been doing the best I know how. Really, do you have any suggestions at all?" Husband will probably reply that you are getting along all right. No more need be said that night. Now on succeeding days, continue to co-operate with your daughter in mak ing the father cheerful, which will not make it natural for him to talk against you. However, while you are first at tempting to break tip this habit in your ; husband, it is advisable to do as little j commanding the child as possible, thus ' not making the temptation too strong [ for your husband to interfere in any way. There is one crucial point that must be mentioned. That is revealed in your statement that your husband accuses you of not being able to exact obedience. This, plus the fact that he tries to place a stumbling block in the way of your success, indicates that he does the latter because he wants to be recognized as the best 'manager. Now, for the sake of the child's best welfare, I advise that you give him all the credit that's due him and a little more. It is always a good form to say in a generous complimentary way that someone else can do a thing better than we ourselves can. After your husband realizes your fine spirit towards him and sees that he has nothing left to prove in the matter of his "superior methods, he will not cause so much trouble If your daughter be gins to obey better in his presence, give his methods the credit He then will begin to ch-operate.

Before Jim could reply to my question the telephone rang and he sprang to answer its summons, leaving my words hanging suspend ed in the air between us like a great dirigible that floats across a sum mer sky and seems to blot out ev erything save its strange self from the scene. "So it was Doris West who gave him his 'tip' to buy Salt--Water Oil!" I repeated to myself. "Why—why is she so interested in my hus band?" Hard on this came another | thought. Jim's friendly knowledge of the friendly ♦conspiracy that hail | given him his place in Anthony HAKRISBURG TELEGRAPH Norreys' offices—he had come by that through Doris West also. Of course, the girls seemed to be elect ing herself presiding genius of my husband's fortunes. And the more 1 profited thereby, the more I would —hate Doris West. In failure and poverty, there would be this con solation: I wouldn't have to owe everything to her. Jim's voice broke in on my thoughts. Jim's voice in frantic calculations—not to me but to the unseen speaker at the other end of the telephone wire. Good enough!— Twenty-eight— ? should say not—Hold on—No, of course it won't flivver—Read the report, man—No, I couldn't stand it down there watching the ticker — | Fire —call me every half hour— Twenty-eight and a half now!— Didn't I tell you?" Jim hung up the receiver and turned to me with the still, tense look 1 had come to know meant the excitement of the game and the fever to win. "Did you hear that? It's up to tweney-eight and a half already—■ likely twenty-nine by now. We'll make a killing. Anne—a killing! By Jove, girl; you're going to be rich!" He limped across the room with a sort of hop and skip, seized my hands In his, and balancing himself firmly on his strong left ankle, he twirled around in a little pirouette that seemed to bring cut all his boyish sweetness. When he was In a mood like that, nothing Jim did could seem wrong to me. And when he held me off and began patting my shoulders with quck, staccato taps I began to feel as big a "kid" as my Jimmy-hoy. There were black thoughts ready to possess -me, but I brushed them away. Of course, I couldn't push them off the rim of things, and they j lurked on the edge of my conscious ness—ready to pounce. "What's the meang of Ddris West's interest in your husband?" demanded one. "Was it her revelation that made Jim resign from Anthony Norreys' employ and quarrel with you about it?" whispered the second. But more insistent and nagging than either of these thoughts— threatening my desire to be as care free as Jim—was the third doubt that assailed me: "Where did Jim get his 55,000?" it kept isisting. "Who loaned your husband all that money?" Again the phone. Jim dropped my hands and fairly vaulted across the room. "Careful, dear!" I cried. Fortunately he didn't hear me. He wouldn't have liked my emotion. After a second he turned from the phone, white-faced and drawn. "Has it gone—against you— down?" I managed to aßk calmly. "No—it's up to thirty-three. We might as well have a bit of lunch, Anne. Nothing"!! happen down there for the next half-hour." I But I couldn't persuade Jim to take anything to lunch dxcept three cups of scalding hot and bit terly strong tea. And he was back at the phone again in a jiffy. "Thirty-seven," he reported a I minute later. "Mind if I don't help you with the dishes? I'll run out for five or ten minutes —breath of air. From two o'clock on I'll have a direct wire." "A direct wire!" I cried. "How wonderful. Weren't you clever to manage that! Run along dear!" For a moment it seemed to me that Jim stared at me with a cer tain hostile intentness as if to say. "You think you're clever, don't you? But I'll tell you nothing I don't want you to know." But I dismissed my foolish fancies when he kissed me on the forehead a second later and rushed pell-mell from the place. The phone didn't ring again until Jim returned ten minutes later. He took it up and reported, "Forty-six and going strong." Then he took his place in a chair he drew up within reach of the re ceiver, and every five minutes, he rose, took down that receiver and signaled some one who seemed in wait at the other end of the wire. For almost an hour. Jim didn't speak to me—but sat crouching in his chair near the black box of the telephone. His face was gray and drawn, with spots of color riding high on his cheeks under glittering eyes. I had seen him so before. This was what gambling could be to Jim. Wealth might .be coming to us: it might be poverty and a heavy burden of debt we were fac ing. I was so frightened by Jim's aspect and manner that I dreaded either—both —anything we won in a gamble. When next Jim spoke to me, I glanced involuntarily at my watch. It was eight minutes past three. "I sold out my Salt Water Oil— at sixty-seven." he said In a voice that was dead and flat. Then it rose to sudden exultation: "We've started, Anne—we're -going to be rich, girl." And Jim and I stared at each | other—wondering, wondering. What | would money bring to us? (To Be Continued) I LIFE'S PROBLEMS ARE DISCUSSED | There are those stern and rigid | souls who object to compromise in any form. They consider that they are renouncing a principle when they give in on any points. But this is a matter of compro mise of give and take. The rigid characters with an iron sense of duty may be strong and ofteri ad mirable, but they are not easy to live with. It is they who have made possible the phrase: "Be good and you will be lonely." In our journey through the world we have to rub shoulders with all kinds and conditions of people, and it is the part of wisdom to see their good qualities instead of criti cising their bad ones. We have no right to ask them to conform to our standards. It is enough if we adhere to those standards our selves. Youth is naturally intol erant; but as we grow older, if we are worth anything at all, we grow kinder in our estimates of people, more sympathetic and understand ing. I am in receipt of a letter which bears upon this question. The writer says: "I have been married for nearly three years and love my husband dearly. My trouble is in getting along with his people. They are kind enough, but they think noth- i ing pf telling questionable stories and making suggestive jokes. Be cause I told my husband how I hated it, they make things dis agreeable for me before company by saying, 'I heard a good story to day, but I can't tell it because it might shock Emily.' It does shock me. My people are very refined, and my mother never makes 'breaks' in conversation. She says, 'What the mind is shows in the face. Be sure your mind is clean.' "I have talked this over with my husband, but in vain. He always says his people are just as good as mine are. I had not said mine were better, only that they were different; so naturally am I. Now what am I to do? I hate to break up my home, but it is coming to that. I cannot keep my husband from his people, as that would not be right, yet I can no longer sub ject myself to the kind of talk DAILY HINT ON FASHIONS A SPLENDID COVER-ALL APRON 2750—This style is easy to de velop, easy to adjust, and easy to launder.

What shall I do? "PUZZLED." The sort of thing you describe Is, of course, very annoying. But let us go over the facts in the case and try and get a proper perspec tive on them. You love your husband and you are happy in your home. Those are two big, real things in your , life, worth preserving under any i circumstances. The other matter j is merely a vexation and discom fort. something which irritates you and has got on your nerves. That being the case, how much atten j tion is it worth? In the first place you cannot ex pect to go through life finding everything a bed of roses, and you cannot expect those with whom you are associated to have the same tastes and hold the same views i as yourself except in a very few j instances. My dear, when you can I learn to concede to others the same, rights you hold for yourself, and when you can keep your temper under all circumstances, the world is yours. There is a queer law which al ways works. It is, that the minute anything gets under your skin and rankles there, that moment it at | tacks you from a thousand angles, j If you have a sore finger you are constantly striking it. I sprained my ankle last summer, and when I could hobble about on it every where I went people seemed to go out of their way to kick me or walk on my foot or poke It with sticks. And the law works just as effectually in the mental as in tho physical realm. Your mother is perfectly right. A clean mind is a beautiful thing and always reflects itself in the face; also it has a direct effect upon the bodily health. There fore, while rejoicing that you have had the benefit of this teaching, can't you take the stand that you are not going to let other people's conversation annoy you? Suppose your husband had said to you, "Your mother is a prudish old prig and makes me tired, wouldn't you have resented it -f But you criticised his people to him, and naturally he did not take it in good part. He might have seen their faults himself, but ho would not have admitted them to you. He made a mistake when he lepeated to thent what you had said; for it only resulted in their making an effort to annoy and dis turb you. Why not try a new tack? If they endeavor to shock you, be good humored about it. Don't show your LIFT OFF CORNS WITH FINGERS Doesn't hurt a bit and costs only few cents FA $ f\ Youll laugh. / \ Apply a few drops / \ then lift sore, / \ touchy corns right k jjih A few cents buys a tiny bottle of the magic Freezonc at any drug store. Apply a few drops of Freezone' upon a tender, aching corn or a callus. Instantly that troublesome corn or callus stops hurting, then shortly you lift It out, root and all, without any pain, sore ness or Irritation. These little bot tles of Freezone contain just enough to rid the feet of every hard corn, soft corn, corn between the toes and the calluses on bottom of feet, fe'o easy! So simple. Why wait? No humbug! FEBRUARY 18, 1919, disgust. Let your attitude as well as your words be: "I don't like that sort of talk, and I won't be drawn into it. But if it amuses you. go as far as you like. It doesn't shoejc me. Neither does it interest me. I have better things to think about" Show ycfur tolerance, your in difference, and the probabilities are that when they see you can't be annoyed they will soon be saying, "Emily's an awfully good sort. It's a shame for us to tease here so. Let's stop it." Really this is worth trying. It %vou 'd be an absurb blunder to break t Store Opens At and Closes At SP.
