Answer I'd file a eomptalni

Washington. J do noi recommend
a copperas hair dye. Copperas is
not copper, as one might imagine,
but a name for iron sulphate. 1
do suggest that by the daily or
frequent application of Iron sul
phalo and tea lo the hair, persons
wltit black or dark brown hair
may conceal the graying hair.
Dissolve a teaspoon fu I or less of
copperas (Iron sulphate) in a pint
of ordinary black (Japan) tea.
This makcM an inky fluid. It is
unite safe to use Indefinitely. I
cannot recommend the use of hairl
dyes.

MAK1N DECISIONS
By Alice Judson Peale ' '
The niodet n parent is apt to let
the young child use his own judg
ment lu matters where it Ih inade
quate. ilo is pormitted to decide whether
be weahs woolen underclothing and
what school lie attends.
The old-fashioned authoritative
parent goes to the other extreme.
He selects his child's plnymates
and jast what toy he is to take out
on a given afternoon.
lu maiterns eticernlug health and
snlety children should he taught to
submit without question to the guid
ance or their elders. Although every
effort should he made to enlist
their eo-oporation and understand
ing they should dourly realize that
in such matters there is no room
tor artigmeiit.
There are, however, certain vital
and complex questions in which the
child's own desire is an important
factor. Such n question is the choice
of schools. Here his wisheb should
he consulted and weighed with due
allowance for the mental and emo
tional immaturity which makes it
impossible fur him to do more than
speak impulsively.
A 9-year-old girl expressed a do
(ire to go to a certain hoarding
school. Her parents knowing the
school to he a good one. sent her
there believing she would speii a
happy and profitable winter. At
the end of a few weeks she he
came so homesick she had to be
returned to her tamily.
The decisions which young chil
dren can make for themselves are
relatively few. The wise parent
studies his child. Me permits him
to decide such matters as ho is
capable of judging adequtely.

little daughter.
Now that " Fanny was properly
lodged and fed and clothed, had
work that she liked and was no
longed hauuted hy the spectre of
discharge, some of her old impetu
osity gradually reawakened.
One night, soon after her, talk
with (.lurrett, she was so shaken
with longing for Sheila that she told
herself that she would die If she
could not see her soon. She deter
mined then to throw herself otr Da

time bis anger nnd resentment
would have lessened.
She wrote that night, tearing up
lialf a dozen letters before she was
satlslied.
"De:ir David," the final letter ran,
"I have thought of asking you to
see me the next time you come lo
New York, but I realize a meeting
would be too painful to both of ns.
I gave Sheila to you because I be
lieved she would be better off with
yon. I still believe that it is for
her good that she stay with you.
Hut the need to see her has grown
so overwhelming that 1 feel that 1
cannot endure the present arrange

that It could in any way harm Sheila
to spend a few weeks with me every
year, during her vacation and mine.
I can assure you that there Is noth

friends that you could object to. 1

"It hardly seems itieceseary lo
point out that a sacred and binding
responsibility like parenthood sel

is my responsibility, in lesser meas

believe that it would be for her good
and all-round development If she
were taught to shirk that responsi
bility altogether.
"Your kindness In the past makes
mo believe you will grant this great
est of kindnesses. Knowing me as
you did you must have realized a
measure of my regret at the suffer

unfortunate marriage."
Sho hesitated, and then signed it
simply Fanny. The tlrst envelope

been with him for years and might
recognize her handwriting. So she
addressed it to his borne, sealed and

a letter box on Fourth Avenue.
Tho next afternoon L-eona brought
the letter, along with severnl clr
culars and bills, upstairs to Mrs.
Frost who was dressing to go out.
Mrs. Frost examined the mail care
lessly, gasped suddenly and sat
down.
"Ain't you feeling well?" asked
Leonn solicitously. "You look kind

"Xo. Yes. I'm all right, but I

"Dot you'll be late to Mis' Km

"This Is more Important than any

Her return was a blessing.
Mary Morton and her mother had
gone lo Europe a few weeks ntler
David's sudden marriage. 1 lie war
drove them to Southern California
where they established themselves.
There Mrs. Morton had died about a
year after David's divorce. Mary
brought her mother's body back to
Cloughbarre for burial, opened her
old home and remained.
"I thought David rather avoided
Mary." said Mr. Phllbrick curiously.
."He did at first. But I had her to
dinner and Mary asked him to call.
He did finally. Now he goes regu
larly. Not often but regularly. And
I won't have his affair with Mary In
terfered with a second time ny
that woman." Mrs. Frost reached
over and picked up the letter. "You
don't know what I've gone through
the past three years and a half."
she said belligerently: and delib
erately tore open Fanny's letter, set
tled her eye-glasses firmly on her
Roman nose and read It through to
the end. Mr. Phllbrick watched her
uncomfortably, lie had never been
fon-1 of his cousin; now only his
Strong sense of kinship kept him
from actively disliking her.
"It's as 1 thought." Mrs. Frost an
nounced triumphantly. "She a after
Sheila: coolly suggests that Sheila
should spend her vacations with
her. It's a good thing 1 opened that
letter. There's more hero than
meets the eye. Sbe gives a strong
hint for an interview. You know
David's soft streak. If she once got
hold of him, broke down and cried
or pretended to Heaven knows
what she might get out of him."
Mr. Philbrlck's family caution
took alarm.
"I don't believe David is as sott
as you think." he contended stout
ly. "David's hardened, matured
since his trouble and poor Judsou's
death." But he was arguing against
his own fears and he agreed to an
swer the letter on lines laid down
by Mrs. Frost.
"David Frost regrets." Mr. Phll
brick wrote Fanny, "that he is un
able to accede to your request. Un
der' the present arrangement the
little girl is entirely happy and con
tent and it does not seem right or
reasonable to upset nnd unsettle
her. She Is still too young and too
sensitive to be burdened with re
sponsibilities or divided loyalties.
Very sincerely, etc."
Fanny had worked herself up to
such a pitch of expectation, was so
all but certain that David would let
her have Sheila the next summer,
that sho had a small nervous col
lapse from disappointment. It was
a long time before she pulled her
self out of it. A hard year followed.
She filled her life as best she could
with her friends and Garrett's
friends, the girls where sho worked,
her housekeeping, the many delight
ful thiugs Garrett found (or her to
do in New York.
Garrett kept his word, and did not
make overt love to her. She was
not in love with Garrett, but with
out him lite would have been Intoler
able. What Fanny really wanted was
Sheila. The desire, tho hunger for
her little daughter had burst its
bounds. She was always thinking,
about her. always making plans to
see her. And. lying in bed one early
morning in May, she made a sudden
resolve. David or no David, Brown
becks or no Brownbecks, she icoitltl
see Sheila and soon.
Sheila's birthday was next week.
Was it possible that her baby would
soon he 10 years old? How she
must have changed! What had
they dono to her? What had they
told her about her mother? She
would go to Cloughbarre.
Sbe must have the answers to her
questions: must find out what they
had done to her little girl.

Till: MOON I
By Mary raham Homier.
J o h n and 1 'e g y were w a 1 1 1 n i;
for the Little Mlaek Clock down
at the end of the gardoji path, just
where the magic .path began.
Suddenly they saw a rocket plan'1
landing, a n d as
It did so the Lit
tle Ulack Clock
Jumped out. The
pilot remained
inside the plane.
The children
h a d traveled In
that rocket piano
before. They
knew how it went
by means of rock
ets being dis
charged so that
it could go for
ward at great speed. ft "vTt's wofrk
od on the same idea as made Oleic
Fourth of July rockets fly into the
air. '
Whenever they had traveled
slowly the number of rockets had
been reduced, but whenever thoy
wanted to go quickly the small,
though powerful rockets had been
shot forth more quickly.
"We're going to have a fine ml
venture." the Little r.lack Clock
exclaimed. Pi-guy and John agreed.
"The Moon!" shouted the Litt J
ninck Clock to the pilot as they
cli-mbed inside ami were off.
They had visited the Moon b"
fore and had had n talk with h.ni.
He was waiting for them now, tni'l
when they arrived thoy waved l"
him as he Mood on hU own honv
ground, clad in his suit of arm"!.
They went incide the -tent ihe
Little lllack Clock had brought
Vith him.- The tent was fiih-d
with oxygen, fo the Moon had n"
air in his country and so no siuin-N
could bo heard.
"It was su.-h ft treatio talk te
