TEACH CHILDREN UNSELFISH- NESS WITH RESTRAINT

Mothers tend to think of unsel- Ilshness as a virtue to be planted and tended in their children until it is strong enough to survive and flourish. They forget that sel- fishness has a value in the survival of the individual and the race. We have to get what is coming to us out of the common hoard of money or companionship or recreation. To stand back unselfishly and let others snatch more than their share jeopardizes our chance to survive. l

Obviously the small child has no comprehension of selfishness or llnsflfishness. He is actuated only by the desire to have his own interests satisfied. Usually he dis- covers that there are older and strcnger people who stand in the way of his being able to fulfill his every desire. His cries do not bring food because it isn't meal lime He can't grab the toy be- longing to some one else without sskinrr for it as a favor or giving something in return for it.

YOUR TEETH

Spaftling white teeth that glis- ten when you smile are acces- sary to true beauty. If they are covered with film and show obvi- ous signs of neglect, even the giamor of shining eyes, smooth skin and healthy hair is lessened somewhat.

Brushing at least twice a day helps to kcep your teeth pretty, of course, but, in spite of this, film will collect and your dentist alone can remove it thoroughly. You ought to see him twice a year and each time have teeth cleaned as well as filled and otherwise treated.

Don't forget to keep dental floss on your bathroom shelf. Use it daily to remove particles of food which the toothbrush cannot reach. If your favorite toothpaste or powder seems to have no effect on some of the stains, try using plain table salt or baking soda now and then.

If your child's second teeth grow in crooked, take him to your family dentist and have a conference about braves to straighten them. Braces aren't especially comfort- able and certainly not very attrac- tive, but it's better for young off- spring to put up with them for l. few years than to h=ve crooked teeth the rest of his life. Remember that your teeth aren't supposed to take the place of nut crackers. Don't use them to break hard pieces of candy or "to bite pieces of ice. Even if they are fine, hard ones, you can't expect them to thrive under this kind of strain. If they are unusually soft, perhaps adding plenty of orange juice and fresh milk to your diet will help.

BRIDES’ SCHOOL

SURPRISE S

Society's dancing daughters are flocking to the Brides’ School in New York, to learn thc intricacies of housekeeping —in case they marry.

'I'he school, sponsored by society women, charges tuition fees. Its five storeys contain rooms designed to be typical of those in which the modern young miss will live as bride and matron. Its purpose is to instruct prospective brides to run their households efficiently and economically.

The direction oi‘ servants is on important part of the curriculum. Meals. formal and informal. are traced from their nouce-at the groceris -—to the kitchen. thence through the mysteries of cookery to the tab’e. Real silver is used. The runs are genuine.

Cocktails-as a word, that is- are out. "Please don't say “cock- tails, "' said Mrs. Richard Board- men. president of Scientilc House- keeping, 111e,, of which the Brides‘ School is an offshoot. It gives a. wrong imnrrssion."

Scientific Housekeeping, in exist- ence l0 years, was launched by a. group of society women for the pur- pose of training servants. After 10 years. Mrs Bonrdman said, it was found that the servant level had been raised. but that the inexperi- enced houykcener was still a bar- rier to an efficiently run home. ‘I110 Brides’ School was the result.

The school es~hews words like "domestic," substituting "worker " A chambermaid is now a "worker on daily care."

Greater Number of Di vorces and Matricides Takes Place Amo ng the . Younger Married Couples

Speaking of the prevalent mania that married people seem to have for murdering each other Just now and that is literally drenching the coun- try in blood, a famous psychologist declares that it is Just nature taking its course, and that virtually all husbands and wives would like to kill each. other after

His contention is that a middle-aged couple have no longer any sex attraction for each other; that romance has long been worn to tatters, so the t they are bored with each other and have got on each others nerves, and that nothin but the fear of the law, or perhaps, a kind lleart, or an ingrow- ing conscience, prevents them from follow- ing their impulse and doing something lethal to-each other.

Indubitably in many cases this is true. , There are innumerable marriages that are “ nothing but endurance tests in which one or the other of the high contracting parties waits patiently for the others death. Many a woman pulls her widow's veil over her face to hide the joy and relief in her eyes, and many a widower comes back from his wife's funeral looking ten years younger and 100 per cent more cheerful. The greatest justification there is for divorce is that it is a life insurance pol- icy for husbands and wives, and saves many a. one from an untimely end.

.\ .

Nor can we wonder that husbands and wives kill each other so often. The strange thing is that they show so much restraint in the matter. When I have seen a gentle patient man n _ god out of his life by a. faint- finding wife or bulldozed by a shrewish 0..., i. have been amazed that he didn't get up in the night and silence her pcstnerous tongue with ms razor. And when I have seen a bullying brute of a. husband work a poor little wife harder than he would any slave, and WilBIi I have heard him curse and abuse her, 1 have marveled that he would dare drink the conee and eat the food she set before him when he must have known how handy the rat poison was on the kitchen shelf.

But while it is true that if‘ wishes were fatal many husbands’ and wives would not survive the hour, it is also true that by far the greater majority of middle-aged couples not eniy do not wisn to slay their mates, but do everything in their power to keep them, and are broken-hearted and bereft when they lose them. For the love that outlive: all the storms and stress of twenty or thirty gr forty years of marriage is as much stronger than the attraction that brought a boy and girl wgetfler on nat wedding day as a hoary omk is stronger than a pretty fragile flower.

Novels mostly deal with the pink and sugary love affairs of boys and girls, but the real romances are the love stories of the ‘iusoands and wives whose affection has stood the test of time, who have struggled and fougm. and suffered and reioiced together, who have benr, togetner over oracles and wept over little graves and lived so completely for each other that they have no life apart. The bald-headed, bay-windowed, middle-aged man who calls his wife "mother," and the stout, grizzic-haired woman who speaks of her husband as "dad" may not be as picturesque and alluring heroes and heroines for fiction as the slim, young, beauteous youth anq maiden, but they know things about the grand passion mg; m; chm my; never dreamed of.

Of course, in every community there is some men who as the phrase goes, has risen from rags to riches and who, in his prosperity, can; "lug, like a worn-out old work horse, the wife who helped him get his start by toiling over the washtub and kitchen swve and pinching nickels and deny- ing herself every comfort. But where there is one such man as this, there are m; hundred who! adore their wives for every sacrifice they have made for t em an who eel that a lifetime is not lon eno in back their debts of gratitude to them, a um which w my

Jim Carter's face turned thc color of o boot.

Cart looked as though he were about to have apoplexy.

"Take me to her." He took a step toward the officer, savagely. "If you don't I'll break your neck! I don't care what your orders are."

McKinley hesitated only for a second.

Sugar was lying face down on the cot in her call when the don‘ open- ed- when she raised her head Jim Carter winced at the misery in her ayes. He dismissed Mike curtly.

“Listenfl he raised her head and framed the round little tearstained face in his hands, “you must stop crying, dear. Please-for me."

His answer was a dry sob.

"They're not going to hurt you." he said soothlngly. "I won't let them."

She reached up her arms and put them around his neck to cling to him desperately. But she could not speak. Cart kissed the tears from gar cheeks. Gradually her sobs sub-

"But she won't get away I knew she was hard; but I didn't know she would go this far. A colored man said he saw a rod- hecded girl leaving the theater, and she saw her chance to get you in trouble. You weren't there,_ were you?"

Sugar was getting her bearings. She shook her head negatively, dabbing at her eyes Cart smiled with relief.

"I knew you weren't. sweetheart. ‘That's all I wanted to know."

He had called her sweetheart. Seugafs smile trembled through her

ars.

"I'm-so glad you came."

Cart buried his lips in her wild. red curls.

"I'm glad too." He held her to his hammering heart. “And I'm glad Jane Lee did this to you."

Sugar pulled away, and her eyes were made with questioning.

Suddenly Cart laughed, and stood veg“? hold her in his arms, like a

He kissed her and smiled into her puzzled eyes. "I'm in love. Do you understand, darling? I'm in love!" Sugar closed her eyes before the

looked as though they were seeing her for the first time.

And suddenly the old jail was paradise, and there was nothing but sunshine and happiness in the world.

After a long time Mike McKin- ley was astonished to see his fav- orite foooball captain standing ‘in the door again. Mike's mouth open- ed with astonishment.

For the cadets face was wreathed in a beatific smile-arid he blew the astonished deputy an airy kiss.

“Thanks awfully," he grinned. "I'll be seein’ you."

CHAPTER 24

Carter knew there was little 1135 in trying to effect Sugars release until momlng.

Even tho thought of sleeping under the same roof with his sister- in-law was repulsive to him. So he took a room at the hotel to spend the rest of the night. But there was no sleep for him. His emo- tions wsre an incoherent mixture of icy at the discovery that he was in love with Sugar. and sadness and fury at the predicament she was in.

But he had absolute confidence in his brother. In the morning Dick

would force Jane Lee to have Sugar released. He didn't believe his bro- tbers wife actually. thought her guilty. It was just her way of pay- ing him back for humiliating her by taking his little nobody to sit in the family pew at church. ‘

It was wonderful, Jim Carter mused in the wee sma’ hours of the morning to be in love. And still more wonderful to be so much in love you didn't care in the least that your love was a girl who didn't even know her right name. She might be a princess, or a. pauper. All that mattered was that she was his.

Sugars cell was no longer a dirty old hole in the county Jail after

Cart had gone. It was a beautiful place, woven with dreams, and out of her tragedy had come the only real happiness she had over known.
