b MAKING THE MOST OF OUR CHILDREN \J MA Series of Plain Talks to By Ray C. Beery, A.8., MX ■x" President of the Parents As social ice. / Simple, modest truth is beautiful. t i n the other hand, exaggeration may j netimes cause a little sensation, j cso accustomed to practice it delight ; gee the raised eyebrows and the ex- ' ?ssions of surprise which result from ; etching the truth enough to make it i-iting. But. after all. it is not so j using to most people as the simple ith. , ' Children barn to exaggerate because . y discover that they can gain as, K-h attention by relating what they j a'gine as by reporting what actually i ■urs. It is all right to allow children to say j iat they imagine, but a clear line of j itinction should be drawn between j iat is real and what is imagined. To take a simple case, the other day j mother asked advice about a little j v eight years old who had an ale rt and who had the habit of coming , and telling her exciting stories about : * number of birds he had killed. Part j the letter written to her follows : • Phe best way to treat this boy when j comes in with his "bird stories" is to I lile and say something like this "Is I lit all jou got? What about the tears j d the elephants? Did you shoot any t tpopotamuses?" | Of course, if he should speak to you out your taking his reports in a jok- J - way. you can explain to him that | u can't always tell for sure whether j is joking or not. Tell him you sup- , sod that if he really had shot some arrows, he would have brought a few j for you to see. but since he hadn't you nply supposed he was joking. . Tlien. you might explain to him fur- ■ er that .when he wants you to know is not joking, he should speak in a iv. sincere way. telling you the truth st exactly as it is and you will be- j ve him. of course. When you go asvav anywhere with : is boy. make it a point to relate your j perience to some other members of j e family upon your return. Do this in ; ur boy's presence for the sake of the | eet which your example will have j ion him. Be unusually exact as to j ur report. tlo back and correct a j ttement now and then. If you make j is a practice, you will not need to ! >rry about your child's truthfulness. j If your son should ever do anything •ong and lie confesses it to you. show: m that you are pleased because he ! Id you. I>o not scold him for doing j e thing which he has confessed. Sim- i w Paramount S+ar || 1 ftewbro's TCerpicide i wwL Hollywood. Calif. Sept, 26, 1918.

When I hurled that blue robe of Tim Mason's into the secret com partment of the carved chest and shut klie magically opened lid over it, 1 had no plans about tvliat I was going to wear to Jim's celebration dinner. But at sight of his deeply concerned face an inspiration came to me. "I'll tell you, dear. It's just half past four. Lots of the smart shops don't close till six. I'll hop into a taxi and drive around to Lansidine's and buy a dress. You know I'm a perfect thirty-six, and I won't have a bit of trouble —especially as the dinner's at seven-thirty and I don't have to help Mrs. Roehambeau get it." "More of your choice wit!" sneered Jim. "And* where do you think you'll get money to pay for the dress?" "Can't we afford it now?" I coaxed, excited at my own project. "That's it—just like a woman— wanting to fling around my money right away. But you'll have to wait till I get a check from the brokers to-morrow. I haven't ten dollars ready cash." "Not ten dollars! Who'll pay for the dinner, Jim? Xot Tom Mason — oh, T couldn't bear that!" I cried.

But what the dickens are you ! going to do for a dress?" "Oh, I'll manage something," I ! promised, wondering what I would ] contrive. ] "Go to it—and. mind, you look de cent. I'll call Doris again and tell her it's to be a big party full dress." i "Jim," I ventured, "A'irginia's not ] very democratic, you know. How will she take dining with your I stenographer?" I Jim turned on me with something ] very like a snarl. I "Anne, don't get a swelled head jso fast. A'ou worked at Halden's ! you know." 1 fairly reeled undewthe malice of it. ] "Jim!" I protested, "j'im. that's not fair! 1 respect work. I'm not ; a snob. But A'irginia had enough trouble adjusting herself to me. ' She probably won't be very cordial ]to Miss AVest. She won't under stand your having that girl and I leaving Anthony Norreys, Miss AVest's employer, out. And I don't understand your asking your wife to accept—to appear in public with —with"— "Stop right there!" Jim thundered. "Don't let your evil-mindedness j drive you one step further. Doris West is coming to the dinner." "A'es—that's fair, from your point of view. You owe her that much for—making your fortune," I agreed slowly and sadly. Jim laughed roughly: "I don't owe her a darn thing. . I paid my indebtedness off in advance when 1 got out of my job and let Fred in again." "Fred?" I interrupted. "Fred?" "Isn't that her brother. "You might listen once in a while," retorted Jim. "Fred is Fred Har- i per, the boy who went to war when I came into Norreys oflice to take his place. He's discharged now— and footloose. Loris wants him back—so she can win him all over again—she's crazy about hint. "Well, I fixed it for her —he's com ing back. So that squares us! And her brother, Dick, will think. I'm doing the pretty thing by him if I introduce him to a few nice girls and keep him going socially here in the big city. Now, are you ready to go on your knees to Doris—and j to your husband?" "Oh, Jim!" I cried, "I'm sorry. So ] that's how she came to tell you ] about our wanting you to work for Anthony Norrey's. I—I—jealousy , is my besetting sin. And I did think you were—flirting with Miss West." "I've an idea that your wonderful Norreys is about as pure-minded and as-sweet as you are, and thought the same thing," sneered Jim. "That's what made me so darn sore at the interfering old boob. I'm dead sure he's only sending the poor kid to Canada or Boston or wherever he's shooting her—to protect you. Though who elected him the protector of your happiness I don't know." "Oh, Jim—l'm so sorry!" I echoed again. "All right—all right! Run along." said Jim irritably, and returned to his telephoning. I trailed listlessly back into the bedroom again, my mind absorbed in a new problem. Didn't I owe it to Doris AVest to persuade Mr. Nor reys to let her stay in town now that the man she loved was returning to the Norrey's offices? But could I persuade Anthony Norreys to change his plans even if I tried? And had 1 the right to try? Had Jim told n\o with this very idea in view—or would he resent the idea? That problem had to be tempo rarily dismissed, however, for the more imminent one of constructing an evening dress. My wardrobe was limited —but I got out all my be.st frocks and arranged them side by side on the bed. Besides the mul berry satin I Wfcs wearing, there was my lavender organdy, my gray eh! Ton and an old rose colored taf feta with net yoke and sleeves. The array looked hopeless. I be gan shifting them around and hold ing them against each other. Then 1 saw the light. The yoke and sleeves could come out of the rose colored silk. The gray chiffon could be ripped from Its gray foundation and sliped over the rose. The un lined, gray angel-sleeves and the sheer low throat would look charm* ing I thought. I began ripping my dresses apart, pinning and sewing with frantic nervousness. It seemed to me suddenly that al most everything In life depended on my looking well at*this dinner my husband was giving to celebrate tlte coming of fortune to us. But. however desperately I sewed, could I get my dress ready in time—and would it be pretty when it was fin ished? Or would it look home-j made —an absurd botch?

We blame his selfishness, | i his timidity, his prudence. ; But is that the only way to "look ! at it? • You know how romantic an at- ] I tachnient of a month's duration: seems to families, friends,nergh-i bors. You're familiar with the en thusiasm, almost the ecstac.v, with! which the circle of privileged on j lookers regard a youthful pair who] never saw each other until a few, weeks ago and who expect to ho 1 married in three months. Their in terest is so headlong that they seem; ] almost to be a part of the love affair.' The brisk moment of the tiling | the swiftly approaching .climax, is' ] enthralling to the spectators, as it is i to the lovers themselves. But haven't you noticed how this' ! interest wanes if marriages, pcr j haps even any mention of marriage,! iis deferred for several years? It's romantic and' thrilling to I "love at tirst sight"—to "marry" in j haste." But somehow the romance oozes, out of a situation that seems to' have come to a standstill. Onlook -1 ers get tired and bored, and tlie i .lovers themselves, having lost tlie [sympathy of their community, begin' ito seem "queer" if not actually a! I little ridiculous. i I If you've ever lived in a village. j you're sure to have seen at least! one conspicuous case of this kind, j A faded, middle-aged Martha, who! has spent half a lifetime in wonder ing whether or not she was reallv engaged to a taciturn Henry, bald"-] headed now, and more than a little stout, who plainly prefers her to j any other woman—and who stops] at that. AVednesday and Sunday are "Henry's nights," as they have been j for years. Henry comes promptly' on those evenings, and he brings' his troubles witli him, for lie; knows lie con count on Martha's] sympathy. So night after night i Martha listens to tales of Mother's! rheumatism and the way the kitch-! en stove smokes, as though she had an actual daughterly share in these homely burdens. But she hasn't. And probably she ne\er will have. And they'll both die with lives unfullilled. Put it isn't only in villages that you'll encounter dreary near ro mances of this order. Man and women of this type can be found anywhere. It's only a few days ago that a letter came to me from the highly indignant friend of a young woman who for years had spent her love, on promise-dodging,i marriage-fearing, basely self-pro tectite type of man. She writes: „ A Twelve-Year Courtship A young lady friend of mine has] been keeping company with a gen tleman tor twelve or thirteen years, | and while he's never made any promises of marriage, X claim if! there was a grain of manliness in htm he'd marry the girl, instead of casting her aside with no other ex cuse to offer save that he wants to be free.
