WIIAT would you think of a coach who, at the moment when a varsity race was to be pulled, put In a man who had never trained to row over a four-mile course? Tou would think the coach nothing short of absurd, and yoi^wouldn't blame the untrained man If he collapsed over his oar at the end of the first mile. But when it comes to life's race—a far more serious affair than the most hotly contested intercollegiate championship in the world—does it occur to 'you that training-is an absolute requisite? Or do you expect the head of a big business to give you a job because his grandfather knew your great-uncle —or'merely because you need It so badly. Our cities are filled with hopeful youngsters who have come to make tljeir fortunes. Often the equipment of the seeker after fame—or merely place—is meager. And the critics ask first of all: “What experience have you had?” Bitterly a young man said to me the other day: "How can I get any experience if no one will give it to me? I’ve got to start some time—’ % We Now Park Our Hands Inside Our Coats By CORINNB LOWE. Xew York.—One of the fashion com mandments of last w inter was, "Thou muff not."

Kor one of the newest effects Is to provide muff accommodations from the fullness of the fur bodice.

Once your head Is above the crowd someone will see it. But it is sel dom thit anyone can nlTord to leap into the crowd, drag some unproved individual out of it and give him a chance. "The chance" for which we all yearn has to be earned. And the only way to earn it”is by long, ardu ous training. Three months, six months—even years or unrecognized struggle some times goes before tl»e day when the college athlete makes his crew. Per haps healmost makes the second crew freshman year. Possibly he docs struggle along on second during his sophomore and junior years. But he sticks it out. He truins. And If he makes the varsity in his last year of college all the years of training and struggling seem little enough to pay for the final glory of achievement. , Life's race requires years of train ing, years of self-denial, years of pre paration before success can be achiev ed. And the man or woman who lets discouragement get him—or who is too lazy to strive toward success— cannot win and has no right to hope for success. Sometimes 10 years of dishearten ing failure go before the success which a writer achieves with his first "Broadway success." The head of a great steel industry carried water to the furnace rooms 20 years ago. t The slow climbing, patient training, the steady strlvtpg which go before success are almost inevitably compon ents of that final achievement. And the nan or woman who whimpers, who quits, who feels bitter because he is not given his prizes free is one who has never studied life and the facts of existence. New Year’s Dance.

It was late in the fall and food was Retting scarce in the woods. Frisky Squirrel had plenty of nuts stored away for his winter's’ fare. But he always hated to begin to eat what he had saved for the long, cold nWnths ahead. However, now and then he went to one of his hiding places and took out a few nuts—the smaller ones—and sat on the Unib of a tree and cracked them. Prowling through the woods. Tom my Fox caught sight of Frisky as he was enjoying one of these luncheons. Hs.fr | It was Tomn.ij Fox'* paw* And Tommy seated himself on the ground belmv and looked up at the busy nut cracker above him.. Tommy Fox seemed very friendly. He smiled and wagged his tall, just as old dog Spot, wagged his tail when he Was in a merry mood. Rut he didn't fool Frisky Squirrel. Frisky knew that Tommy Fox was a sly rascal, who would pounce upon him the very first time he caught Frisky napping. Frisky Squirrel didn’t say a word to the smiling watcher. He went on eating his nuts and dropping the shells right down upon Tommy Fox's head. That showed what he thought of Tommy Fox. It was rude of Frisky Squirrel to drop nut shells upon • caller. But , Tommy Fox kept smiling. Yet all the time ho was thinking, "How 1 wish that young squirrel would fall off that limb!" Of course Tommy knew that there wasn't more than one chance in a million of Frisky Squirrel's making a mission. He spent most of his time in the tree tops. Still, you never could tell. Perhaps that one chance—that one misstep—would come now! So Tommy waitod patiently. Now and then a little shower of sheila sprinkled him. When they foil, he only blinked his eyes. And at last something that he hadn't looked for happened. Frisky Squirrel dropped a nut! Very seldom did a nut slip out of his paws. And, no doubt, tills one wouldn’t have fallen if Frisky hadn’t been looking down at Ills caller. Frisky was angry with himself. But he didn't let Tommy Tox knqw that It wms an accident. , "Have a nut!” he called to Tommy. The nut had hit Tommy Fox on the end of his nose. And Tommy acted as If he thought that a good Joke. lie. laughed and wggged his tail more gayly than ever. "Thank you!" he said. "I don't care for nuts.” "That's a pity," Frisky told him. To himself he muttered, "Lucky for mej' And then Tommy Fox yawned and stretched himself. “I believe,” he remarked, "I'M go My Marriage Problems Ade!e Garlson’a New Phase of "Revelations of a Wife.” How Madge Wisely Contrived to Ban-1 isli Dicky. “Did I understand you to say,” Mrs. Barker asked slowly, and her manner said that she could not believe it pos sible, "that you really wish to take Miss Foster home with you?” t Without looking at him 1 knew that Dicky was boiling with Indignation at the woman's insolence, which she took scant trouble to hide. While I yearned to turn my back upon her and leave her house at once, yet I knew tfiat for Claire Foster's sake as well as to save the situation to aid which I had hur ried there so strenuously. 1 must ig nore her manner and make my answer the scriptural soft one. “Oh. but surely.” I said ingenuously. “Of course,” X hastened to add, “1 know she is most comfortable and well-cared for here, but after a shock of that kind the poor child Is better off with me, her closest friend, than with any stranger. Besides, those silly stories in the newspapers must have annoyed her if she saw them.” “She saw' them. I sent them in to her.” Mrs. Barker replied grimly. "But did yo\i read them all?” Incredu lity patently was the feeling dominat ing her. “Yes. Weren't they the most ab surd things possible?” I returned brightly. “Now if you wil\ please show me to Miss Foster’s room—" Mrs. Barker gave ine another stare and shook her head slightly, “Well, if you want to see her, all right,” she said at last. “But 1 can't understand—" ' "Is it necessary that you should?” Dicky broke in, his temper boiling over at last. / But Mrs. Barker had evidently been waiting for some such opening. Al though she had turned evidently In the direction of Claire Foster’s room, she now wheeled on Dicky and put her arms akimbo. "Let Me Tell You—" "Look here, iny gallivanty lad!” she began. “Just because your wife is fool enough to overlook this performance of yours, and come up here to smooth things over for you and that hussy down the corridor Is no reason why I should be muzzled! Let me tell you—’’ The sound of an approaching motor outside galvanized me into action. It must contain the reporters who had accompanied me on the train. I went up to Picky and put my hand upon his arm. * “Dicky," 1 said as if in consterna tion, "I left my new gloves in the taxi. And you haven't paid him yet, either. 1 can hear his engine still running. But you'd better have him wait a few minutes," I added in an undertone, as I gave llis arm a peremptory little squeeze and turned again to Mrs. Bar ker, whose face was still dark ,wtth anger. "Please pardon Mr. Graham,’’ - I pleaded, although I would have given a good deal to have been able to home and take a nap. I was out late last night.” "Oh, don't go." cried Frisky. But under his breath lie murmured, "I II be glad when lie's gone. I know what I'll do then.” Tommy Fox said good bye ajid loped away toward the back pasture, where the Fox family had their home. As soon as he was out of sight. Frisky Squirrel scurried down out of the tree, to get tfte nut that he had dropped, before somebody else came along and claimed it. lie was chuckling as he scampered from the foot of the tree to the spot where the nut had rolled after It struck Tommy Fox on the nose. He found the nut. He picked it up. He put it in his mouth* And then he dropped it. Something heavy had clapped down upon him and pinned him to the ground. It was Tommy Fox's paw! - (Copyright. 1S22.1 Don’t Delay Your Buying Our Big Final Christmas' Discount Sale Begins Saturday and Continues All Next Week Startling Price Reductions on Diamonds - Watches - Jewelry Cut Glass - Silverware, Etc.

"But I don't understand you. However, it’s your own business. 1 suppose. Your ! husband telephoned you wanted sup per. It’s ready any time you Say.” “I won't keep you waiting but a few minutes,” I promised. "I'll see Miss Foster first, and then come right out. Which way to the dining room?” “Down this hall to the end. and turn to the right,” Mrs. Barker re turned. “You can't miss it. Here's her room.” She indicated a room at the upper landing of a short flight of steps, and turned away abruptly, walking briskly back In the direction we had come. 1 paid a little mental tribute to the unexpected delicacy In the grim wom an's make-up which had hurred her out of earshot and eyesight of the meeting between Claire Foster and my self, but for a panic stricken second I wished her or anybody else with me when -I should first face ths girl whose foolish escapade with my hus band had brought ao much annoy ance and humiliation upon me. From the newspaper accounts, from Dickey's brief comment, from Mrs. Barker’s ungracious reference, I had learned that no one save the girl who carried her meals had seen Claire Foster since the moment when, ex hausted and bedraggled with her long and toilsome journey to tho resort after the fall of the airplane, she had gone Into her room and had abut her self away from prying eyes. How would she taka my coming to her? Would she be resentful or grateful? I dreaded to knock at her door and summon tyer. And then with swift vision I real ized that behind that closed door waa a woman who had a thousand times more reason to feel dread and em barrassment than I. Stifling evecy* thing else save a desire to aid her. I knocked on her door, and called out for the benefit of any possible listen ing ears: "Claire* dear, let me In. It is I, Madge.” Old Linen.
