They decided that absolute fairness was the only way to make everybody satisfied. Now they enforce the rules themselves." : "- "Do they ever have any trouble?" rgked the Interested visitor, forgetting to sew as she watched. "well, it must be confessed that sometimes ~ there is a law. violator," laughed another mother, "but the small offender is promptly dealt with, and the trouble soon ends." : "And how is the offender dealt with?" queried Dolly's mother. At that moment a small girl was es- corted by two other children to the spoken by any one of the three, and _gate and put outside, Not a word was when the two "policemen" returned to th game it went on without comment. Presently, the small girl outside the gate announced that she was willing to play fair, and she was readmitted. Most of the players at some time or other had been put out of a game, 80 there was sympathy and lack of com. ment for the little sinner. And that, the mothers said; was one of the strong points of: the children's organi. gation. They had agreed that no fu- ture reference should be made fo the offender once pardon was: asked.

Dancing with Royalty makes one nervous, she sald, because "verybody is looking at you." ; "I begged his pardon, and he said it was his fault, that he was not good enough to dance with the best dancer in the world," said the baller- ina, removing make-up from her eye- lashes. : * "The Prince is a wonderful dancer. He has marvellous rhythm. I don't know anyone I'd rather dance with again." ; American . dancers" are acrobatic, but' not much else, continued the dark-haired young Russian woman, who studied the ballet in Petrograd's famous "Theatre Street." "They are not classic;' she sald, "They know one or two tricks, and they do those for five years. They learn these few things perfectly and dance beautifully, but there is noth. ing more." : English Appreciative,, American audiences, she protested, are cold, but she classes the sup- unresponsive English® as "Most appreciative audiences," She also things the English do the best ballroom dancing of any nation. Life as a ballerina, Miss Danilova 'explained, must be virtually all work and no play, : "It is a very cruel 'life because we must train every day," she said. "We have to be very careful ahd can't have much fun. We can't drink at all. If I drink champagne, I don't have the same elastic feet. "We smoke, but not very much.

The question was put to members of the Parents' Association by Miss Addison Phillips, formerly of Clifton High School, London, Eng. Miss Phillips offered the folowing advice to fathers in particular: Don't encourage your children to make witty remarks, especially in the presence of other people, and about their elders; remember that children have a keen sense of fair- ness; don't disagree in the children's presence; check any rudeness to thelr mothers; don't let them domin- ate the conversation until father has to take his meals away from home; don't fuss over them, like the mother who took to a bath-chair, because her daughter lost her hockey colors, It was well to realizéxthat a daugh- ter's self-respect should. be" consid- ered, as well as her opinions and pre- occupations, . She was achieving the difficult: task of making a' bridge be- tween childhood and womanhood, and under an exterior that was pos- sibly surly and ungracious there might be a keep love-of truth, Sym- pathy was the golden rule--that, and a little judicious and friendly ap- proval, : Ir a IX "Ma Tante" That dishonesty in a pawnship could cause a cabinet crisis, drive onc min- ister to resign, threaten a premier and provide several days of front-page news for the daily press is amusing to Anglo-Saxon minds, observes the Saint wtnal. But to the blic services, institutions and operated: in the in- ined a manner beyond suspicion. We can hardly conceive how widely the pawnshop is used by all grades of French society, how entirely respect- able a loan from "ma tante" is con- sidered. With us the man who needs ready cash so badly that he is driven to pledge his. watch or his dress suit goes furtively and with an air of doing something disrepufable, But in France it™is quite different. The pawnshops are imposing buildings where business is done with grave dignity." "Ma Tante" will' make loans on any- thing from -a motorcar to .under- clothes, Values are appraised rapidly by experts, the standard percentage of that value that will be lent is known and all the conditions of the transac- tion are regulated by authority, The pawnshop is in fact a public utility |' and many a new purchase is financed by "ma tante."" Men and women need not be s:ony-broke to seek her aid; a very temporary shortage of ready cash is sufficient justification and nobody excuses himself for -applying to the obliging old lady.'
