I’m going to have dinner out.” Grandmother Cameron moved on upstairs. ‘‘Have a good time,” she said pleasantly. Dana assured her, "I shall.” Then she was gone. Upstairs Mrs. Cameron made her way to her sister’s room. "What ever is the matter with that child?” she demanded. “Rushing down the stairs like a whirlwind; What’s It all about?” She waited for con- ’ firmation of her own hopes. "In my day.” Aunt Eilen said primly, "when girls got excited and lost their poise people said they were in love.” "Humph! So you think Dana's in love?” "I didn’t say that,” Aunt Ellen demurred cautiously. "I haven’t j noticed anything strange about her.! Dana seems self-possessed and sensible when you compare her with l most of these flighty girls.” "So she does. Just the same, she almost knocked me over. Running pell-mell down the stairs, and fairly singing out that she was having dinner out. What’s so exciting about that? Hasn’t she been out to dinner several times a w eek almost ever since she came here? Not counting the times I didn't know- about.” It was the longest speech Grandmother Cameron had made in a long while. Aunt Ellen stared. “That sounds very much as though the child might be falling in love,’’ Aunt Ellen conceded. “And why not? Why not? Isn’t it natural she should? You couldn’t find a nicer young man thna Ronnie—not if you searched the world over.” She walked to the window’. The next minute she called sharply, “Ellen, come here!” Aunt Ellen answered the peremptory summons. “I haven't my glasses," Grandmother Cameron said. “But is that Ronnie’s car down there?” "No,” said her sis.er. "It doesn’t look like it.” "Speak your mind! You know very well it Well, whose car j is it then?” 000 THERE was a brief silence. Then her sister said, slowly, “The | young man is a stranger to me.” “But not to me!" Mrs. Cameron I said. “It's that young scamp, Scott j Stanley. Think of his audacity in coming here! Furthermore, I've been hearing things about him. He's a regular rogue among women, stealing their hearts and making sure he keeps his own. I haven’t had my ears open for nothing. Well, I'll soon break this up!” Her voice trembled from anger and disappointment. It was a mood that boded no good any any one, her sister knew. Aunt Ellen's heart went out to Dana. The years had changed Agatha in some respects, Aunt Ellen thought, but the indomitable will, j f the fighting fire were still there. “Sit down,” Aunt Ellen urged. ' Don’t get so exeited. Why should you worry just because she goes out to dinner with him?" “Why does she wr nt to be going out with him? And why isn’t he with Paula Long, who’s been wait- I ing for him ever since he finished ! h.gh school? Paula’s money would | start him in his medical practice. What does he mean, dirt poor and | just starting out, hanging around Dana who’s as poor as a church mouse, too?" Unanswerable logic. Ellen Carewe sat miserably, contemplating her sister’s words. Why hadn’t Scott (she thought of the name gently) done the sensible thing and turned to his wealthy Paula? If he could look into the past he would know I there was more than one reason! why he wouldn't be welcome in this 1 home. And then he probably would muddle things for Dana. Dana was beautiful and poised, well-fitted to rule graciously over a splendid home. "I'm growing mercenary, too." thought gentle Aunt Ellen unhappily. It was almost ir possible to j live in a house with her sister and j

iot. be infected by the possessionfirus. 000 MRS. CAMERON endured it as long as she could—seeing the shabby gray roadster parked in front of her home, replacing Ronnie's large and expensive one. The gray car was an affront. A defiance. A challenge. Mrs. Cameron accepted that challenge one afternoon. She “took the bull by the horns” (in her own language), and drove her shaft home so delicately, so diplomatically that Dana did not at first feel the full force of the blow. “Avery nice young man,” Mrs. Cameron said as Dana came Into the house and Scott’s car moved away. Dona’s eyes brightened. “He is nice,” she said. “It’s a pity,” Mrs. Cameron mused aloud, “that he hasn’t a penny. Hasn't anything but plans and ambitions.” Dana did not reply, meeting her grandmother’s eyes steadily. “Sit down, please, Dana.” The girl sat down. She was still sitting there when Nancy passed through the hall half an hour later, and for a long while afterward Nancy heard her grandmother’s voice droning away, muted to a strangely quiet, tolerant tone. Aunt Ellen had warned her sister, “Don’t drive or threaten Dana. I don't believe she would stand for it.” It was one of the few times when Aunt Ellen had expressed herself defnitely and with conviction. Neither did Mrs. Cameron believe Dana would be moved by threats. She planned to use them only as a last effort. Threats, If necessary, but persuasion first. It was not a pretty picture—the picture of poverty her grandmother drew for Dana. And there were elements -of truth in the portrayal that startled even such a courageous girl. “I know you’re not in love with Scott Stanley,” Mrs. Cameron said vigorously. “You're too sensible. But there’s danger in seeing too much of him.” 000 IT was easy, she went on, to fall in love with an attractive man. If he were not eligible, the safest way was to stop seeing him. A poor man, marrying a girl without money, was as much to be pitied as a poor girl who was fool enough to marry a man who was not established. “Scott Stanley hasn’t a chance to succeed as a doctor if he ties himself up with a wife who can’t help him.” Mrs. Cameron stated firmly. “But can’t a girl help a man in some other way—if she hasn't money?” Dana ventured. She was feeling very sober, very unhappy. “Kind words never helped a poor doctor yet,” Mrs. Cameron declared. “What that young man needs is a number of paying patients. If he married Paula Long, he could stop worrying.” “Why?” asked Dana. It was the first time she had thought of Paula in a long time. She was remembering now that Ronnie had called Paula “Scott’s girl," and she hadn't liked the sound of it. “Paula is independent,” Mrs. Cameron answered. “Besides, she has wealthy relatives who are clannish, like most of us in this city. Just seeing that all the babies in that family arrive in proper order and taking care of their bumps and bruises—not to mention the nervous breakdowns rich people can afford to have—would keep a young doctor in funds for the rest cf his life.” Dana protested, but there was little heart in her words, “Doctors are supposed to win their clientele, not inherit it.” "Ha! Much you known about such things, my child. There's rarely such a thing as a triumph of sheer ability these days!” Nancy heard Dana go in her room a little later and shut the door. “Gran’s made it unpleasant for her, seeing Scott so much,” Nancy mused. “And that isn’t all. She has some more tricks up her sleeve to use if necessary.” Dana, Nancy was certain, had tumbled from her position on the lap of the gods. “If I'd ever come that close to landing Ronnie I wouldn't have made any mistakes,” Nancy thought. Elsewhere Ronnie was receiving the silent congratulations of scores of mothers who were taking heart again, now that the young millionaire was once more heart-free. “Ronnie was a little too smart for old Mrs. Cameron,” they said. ’ Guess he saw which way the wind was blowing and got out before she had him tied up tight with a wedding rope.” Mrs. Cameron, sitting on her porch the next afternoon, looked up and saw Scott’s car stopping. Her brows drew together ominously. (To Be Continued)
j ßaby’s Health Guides Choice of Holiday Toys
BY MARY MARGARET M’BRIDE SENTIMENTALLY speaking, Baby's first Christmas is an Event no matter what blooms on his Christmas tree. But from a practical point of view, what he gets from Santa Claus for this premier Yuletide is important because it might conceivably change the whole course of his life! That, anyway, is the opinion of Charlotte Mochrie, head of the pre-primary department of Collegiate School and former toy adviser for a large department store. It’s his health rather than his mental development that the educators worry about in selecting toys for baby’s first two years. The point is that adoring grandmas and aunties, yes, and even parents, see cute bright-colored playthings in the stores and go on buying jags. The net result is that baby rarely gets a toy on Christmas morning that is really suitable to his age, experience and previous condition of helplessness. 000 TF he’s a very new baby and still addicted to rattles, see that he gets his in one piece, warns Miss Mochrie. For if the handle comes off when mother isn’t by and those balls that make the noise fall out into baby’s hand (or mouth), Christmas will be ruined. Every baby loves a soft animal to hug and the shops show them of every size and kind—bears, bunnies, pigs, cats, dogs, chickens, horses and donkeys. Be sure, however, that they are really soft with no wire supporting framework that can hurt the child. In fact, the newest and best animals, both fur and rag, are washable with stitched, not button, eyes, and can be rinsed out and dried on the radiator overnight. The bigger the animals the better, Miss Mochrie declares. Small children are not trained to coordination and can handle big objects better than small ones. Soft rubber balls should also be as large as possible and one of the very best gifts for a child just beginning to stagger about is an
Flat Chests No Longer Popular on, Off Screen BY” ALICIA HART Flat chests no longer are fashionable on the screen or off. The girl who has hollows around her collarbones and an undeveloped chest should swim as much as possible and, in addition, do exercises to develop the pectoral muscles. “The best exercises of this type make use of a low, narrow box (like an orange crate) and dum-bells or similar weights,” says Donald Loomis, trainer of Hollywood stars. “Lie on your back on the low box. with a two and one-half pound dumb-bell in each hand. Raise hands upward, keeping elbows stiff, lower arms slowly to the sides and slightly backward then, without bending elbows at all, go back to the starting position. Repeat 10 times for the first two weeks. Gradually work up to 20 times, then use five-pound dumb-bells. “Remember, of course, that the exercise must be done slowly and deliberately and that the way in which you force arms backward as you lower them is most important. This one movement stretches and strengthens the pectoral muscles. “Another good routine improves your breathing as well as the lines of your chest. Here are directions: “Lie on the box, holding a fivepound weight or bar in each hand. Stretch arms upward, inhale deeply, then, keeping elbows stiff, lower arms backward and down, meanwhile holding your breath. Do not exhale until arms are as far backward as they will go. Repeat 15 times.” CARNELIAN CLUB HAS YULE PARTY The Carnelian Club held its annual Christmas party at the Marott today. Luncheon was served at 12:30.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
(Toys by Best & Cos.. New York.) Santa Claus finds himself on the horns of a dilemma to select gifts for the very new youngster as he tries to provide for baby’s amusement, health and education at the same time. Big toys are best until 2 or past, because the yet untrained arms can handle them easiest. The musical block holds the interest of our paragon, who can’t quite decide where the tune comes from. Awaiting him are a teddy bear, a life-like black scoitie and a cushiony white steed (its craft leather is easily cleanable) on which to ride to Banbury Cross. He’! have to learn to drive that kiddie car himself; and there’s anew rag doll leaning against the crib, not to mention the stocking full of intriguing things.
oilcloth-covered, big soft horse or goose, big enough for him to clamber on and sit astride of. The animal should be made entirely of soft material—no rockers or legs of wood—and low to the floor so that if the young adventurer falls off, it won’t hurt. 0 0 0 THE right doll for a child up to 3 or 4 is one of rag. The practical doll wears seersucker pajamas which can be washed every day, but need no ironing. Rubber blocks are fine, also building blocks that are triple dipped in enamel that will never chip, and colored with vegetable dyes that will not come off in the mouth. If you’re planning to make it a useful Christmas and buy clothes instead of toys for the paragon of paragons, note that baby blues <*nd pinks, at least for outdoor attire, are passe. The smart 1-year-old is wearing

For very young people who make it a habit to rest for an hour after the bath, there are quilted satin bathrobes with slippers. There are also ridiculous but adorable military dressing sets for 1 and 2-year-old boys, with two brushes and a comb. A gift the baby will like better, though, whether his mama does or not, is a green basket wrapped in cellophane and filled with celluloid floaters for the bathtub — turtles, frogs, starfish, all delicate pinks and greens.

IF you decide to give furniture, you’ll certainly look at the nursery scatter rugs of cotton chenille in pink, blue and green with.Peter rabbits and other animals applique on, also the small maple table with chair attached which is superseding the high-chair since the modern baby no longer eats at the table with grown-ups anyway. There is also a folding baby bed that when done up looks like a handsome maple buffet and of course the folding bath tub that can be fitted into an ordinarjr tub, not new, but very, very handy. A boon to mother is the aluminum bottle warmer that can be attached at the bedside for baby’s bottle to fit into. But don t forget, one of the very most appreciated gifts a baby can get—though he won’t know about it until much later—is a little deposit on that college fund his parents ought to be saving up for him.

Working Wives Must Be Careful Not to Injure Mates’ Ego, Says Jordan Everything Depends on Woman's Attitude in Problem, Jane Tells ‘Hopeful’ in Urging Her to Aid Family Budget. Do voa nfod i froh vlfwpoinl on your problems? Write to Jane Jordan and read her opinions in thii column! Dear Jane Jordan—l have a family of two girls and two boys all in high school. My question is whether I should go to work or stay at home and live on what my husband makes on PWA. He has suffered in pride and mind these last few years. We have had to use up insurance policies to clothe ourselves, and I have taken in sewing and made cookies for sale in order to bring in a little extra cash. Should I, from a psychological standpoint, struggle along on what my husband is able to make in order to save his pride from additional hurt, or get a job?
I am so anxious for the children to go to college that no sacrifice is too great. While he was working my husband was the best of providers. If only he had steady work he would earn more in a day than I could in a week. I feel my children need me at home. Still I would like to help my older girl get back and forth on the street car to the university. She will have to work for her tuition. When I speak to my husband about my working out he says not a word. His one big fear is that when the children need him most he will fail them. I want to do what is best for my husband's peace of mind and yet help the children to a spiritual, moral and financial place so that they will not make the same mistake. We have managed to keep a roof over our heads, live in a nice community, dress nicely, go to church and

do all the normal things, though no one knows how we j have struggled to keep going. What do you advise? HOPEFUL. 000 000 Answer—When a family faces a financial emergency the practical thing to do is for every member to fall to and make the best contribution within his powers. If the wife's labors count for more outside the home than inside, there is no reason why her husband should feel disgraced. If the six of you were shipwrecked and the lifeboat filled with water, there would be no psychological problem as to whoso job it was to bail it out. A moment of danger makes co-operative human beings of us all! Nevertheless you face a real problem in which intellectual reasoning is powerless to quell emotional riot. If your working causes your husband to feel that he has been stripped of his masculine prowess and put into an inferior position by his wife, there is trouble ahead. Sometimes humiliation generates enough extra energy to make a man leap what looked like insurmountable obstacles and land in a safer position. Sometimes it lowers his self-confidence to the point where he can do nothing. A lot depends on your own attitude. Many women who work because their husbands can not support the family look down on their men. A subtle disrespect creeps into all their relationships. They forget to look up to the husband, to admire him for his good qualities, to defer to his opinions, to lean on his judgment. Because they earn money they unconsciously usurp his place as head of the family in countless ways, little and big. Baking, slaving, washing, ironing, sewing until all hours of the night seldom seem to cause this reaction. Easier work and shorter hours in an office have the power to humiliate husbands far more deeply. As long as a woman sticks to her own field she may work as hard 39 she pleases without upsetting her partner, but when she invades his field, he resents it, iry as he may to avoid the feeling. The practical thing is for you to earn money if you can. But do be careful not to knock your husband’s ego too far down in the process. Let him see that at least you do not hold it against him.
