"We must try to grow up. baby." he c"i-

let's enforce the peace by imposing a pen-
alty upon the first person who breaks It-

of constrained snd siigbtly cynical eour-

ues ner race lighted with sudden interest.
"That s a good ideal" sha exclaimed, en
thusiastically. "Let's make up the penal

"Ml right." said the Boas. "I suggest
that the first person who speaks a cross
word will not be allowed to look in tha mir
ror for a week."
"Or will have to stay outside in the snow
for an hour. Ha won t Uka that, will he"
she added. Innocently.
It will be noted that each suited the na
ture of the penalty to tna known disincli
nations of what waa looked upon aa the
probable next offender.
And then, perhapa naturally, each set
about Inducing tha other to give the new
household laws a practical test.
Never, surely had a husband seemed to

Was there ever a women, the Boss asked
himself, so frivolous, so Irresponsible, so

Nevertheless a new fear of tha new
household laws kept them punctiliously
courteous to each other for a time.
It waa nearly 10 o'clock when the first
offender under the new- law was tried and
sentenced. It l -.-ana unnecessary to
state that the first offender wa tha Bos
himself.

Re.nt'y I received a large number of
.titers from young girls wha declare they
are so nervous when among strangers that
Lhetr feelings ara a.moat unbearable.
My answers to them personally have

And yet I thins If nervous, sens-live

Th first effort for a girl so affected to
make Is to rea.lz that sua ta not as con

a.ways seif-coiutcloua. and frequently
t l-i a a themselves tha center of attention
whan, often, they are not noticed, or wouid
ba but alightly did tney not attract ailea
Uua to tnemaelvea by their peculiar
avtiuu and aakwardnvsa. Ths latter is
always part of extreme nervousness.

I Tha Bass' wife flashed him a brilliant

"No." she said. "I want you to go out
and shovel snow away from the clot ilea
linea. That'a the penalty for cross woidia,
you know. And. besides, the laundress will
be here to wash tomorrow and William
forgot to clear away the walk."
Meekly and without a word the Boss
arose from" the table.
By nature ha waa vet-,- silent, particu
larly when he couldn't think of anything
to say.
His wife followed him to the back door
and showed him where the enow shovel
was.
"I guess it will take you an hour to clear
off that mow,'' she said, and then. Uka
the tyrant she waa. went bark to a novel
and a luxurious chair before the open fire.
It was perhaps ten minutes lster that
she heard a peculiar sound. It was aa
she well knew, the creaking of ancient,
weather-sprung timber ss the Bosg
climbed up Uie back porch.
She smiled, and well she might, for. wtth
wifely Intuition, she had bolted the win
dow opening from the porch the moment
sha had sent the Boss foith to work out
his penalty.
Rising stealthily, she confronted nitt as
he struggled vainly with the locked win
dow. ""Let ma n"' called the Boas sheepishly,
and without a word she threw open tha
window to her benumbed and snowbound
lord.
A sudden Clirictmau spirit took posses
sion of her.
'It's CliiiHtmaa eve." she said, "and I
'won t enforce
tile other penalty of not
looking in the glaiui for a week. Coma
here. I want you to see how forlorn you
look."

Extreme nervousness among young girls
may have lis beginning in iak of physical

be fed and must tak hea.thful exarciaa.
It Is useless to keep away from strangei
