Norman went upstairs, lie took off his regular clothes and pro ceeded to attire himself in the aright red and black costume Ku st hing he did was to put on his red ights. Then he added all ul the other accoutrements, including 'laming cape, a tight-fitting cap A'ith horns; also a tierce moutacln Glancing into the mirror, he dt dded that everything was -utis actory. So he picked up his tall ,pear and started to leave the ?OOIIl. And now we'll change the scene 'or a moment to a grocers Store in the downtown section of Ulowinc Rock. The proprietor and one or wo clerks were busy filling out orders and sending them to then ?ustomers "Jim!" hollered the proprietor o the Negro porter. "Yas. suh!" "Here's a box of groceries that has to go around to Mrs. Holmes' louse. I.et's see: dozen eggs, peck of potatoes, quart of beans, two 'oaves of bread, package of rice ves; 1 believe it's all here Take it around on your bicycle to Mrs Holmes' right away." "O. K Boss." Jim placed the box Ml the bas ket in front of lus handlebars | h'isted his long frame ?n the seal and started off in the direction of Mrs. Holmes' place of abode. The timing Couldn't have been any more perfect il it had been planned deliberately. Jim walked up the back porch of the residence, opened the screen door and walked down the rear Jiall. He carried the box of gro ceries in his hands. At exactly the same moment. Norman came walking slowly dow n till- steps from the floor above. Jim looked up casually. Then his inoutli Mew upen, and bis eye* almost popped out of his head. For one horrible moment he stood there. El a acini* at the appari tion before him. He watched q in. a fascinated manner as it advanced slowly in his direction, hokliiiE the spear in what appeared to be to i him a most menacing attitude, j Jim didn't miss a sitiptle detail I of the costume, despite the fact that his survey was of a decidedly hurried nature. And then, without further ado. he sprang into action. With one terrified yell, he drop ped the box of groceries. They crashed, upon the Moor. Kggs, po tatoes. beans, rice and other items made a horrible mixture on the clean floor. Jim called upon his feet for action, and they moved rapidly in response to the frantic appeal of his brain, lie shot out of that rear hall as though launched from a catapult. The screen door was directly in his path of flight lie didn't wait to open it: he went right through it. rolled down the | steps, picked himself up and skid ded around the corner to the front of the house. He made a grab for his bicycle, landed in the saddle { and pedalled awav for all he was I worth. ',' . ? , ? First off Norman didn't sense i what w as happening; But it didn't 1 take hiiu more than a few seconds to figure out Jim's reaction. Norman tried to stop him. He hollered after him two or three | times, but the hollering had the same effect that stepping oil the i accelerator has oil your automo bile Jim had no intention of wasting any time iri idle conversation with the devil. He find only one purpose in mind, and that was to get away from that immediate vicinity as quickly as possible. I Norman watched him as lie dis 1 appeared around the corner. Then he went back into the house to find Mrs. Holmes and the cook ruefully gazing at'the nies| of groceries on {the floor Most of the eggs had broken and practically everything I else was ruined.

I'lllll 111 FKOBLEHIS The Child Who Is Shy Shouldn't Be Punished By GARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, Ph.D. TOO many mothers worry nerd - I lessly because their children are shy. Always these mothers seem to feel that the tot's shyness reflects unfavorably on them; that their adult friends disapprove of them for letting the child be so shy, and expect them to force the young ster "to snap out of it." A Shy Infant 1 am thinking of the mother whose babe in arms won't let a guest hold him, or who cries when the guest picks him up, or when the guest speaks to him or goes rear to him. I am thinking of the shy tot who, while with his mother on the street, is accosted by a friend of hers. He may hang his head, and , chew his fist in silence, while be ing urged in vain to speak. The frustrated, embarrassed mother supposes the friend expects her to punish the child if iie doesn't speak. Sometimes the supposition ! is correct. Sometimes, tndccd, the |, mother does rebuke end shame, \ the youngster, or threaten him I with punishment, or warn him of | what will happen when she gets ( him home The Proper Technique i But the poor youngster did riot I act as he did on purpose. He was I so paralyzed with fear that lie i could not do otherwise How cruel < the friend, and the child's mother were, especially the mother. If she really had understood this child, and imagined herself in his place, she would have diverted the at tention of the friend away from the child as soon as it was ap parent that he was too shy to speak. Had the mother waited, the youngster might soon have mus tered up enough courage to re spond conventionally. I don't think that boy's shyne ? need present a hard problem if the mother will be very patient, and not urge hiin to greet people until he feels like it. Don't Use Force If he doesn't want to go into a ; room where there are a number of people, he shouldn't be urged. If the mother waits long enough, he will gain courage. I think the best procedure is to get him to play with more children about his age. By and by, he will discover that they are not shy of adults, and, as a result, he w ill gradually Imitate thcin. I.et me add that shy.iess In a little child is not a matter tor commanding or punishing, but of helping him to gain In seif-rcll mee through leading him to do Tor himself what he is able to do, Lo amuse himself, and to have normal fun with other children A his age. ? l< "LO rivfit, Iv ??.
