"Did you miss your mommy? Did you try to call Mommy?" stepmother Marie Solange Aubry, 40, said as young Arnoldlina Jeudy clung to her.

Family members didn't realize Arnoldlina missing after she disappeared Tuesday because everyone thought she was with someone else, they said. A family friend saw the girl on television Wednesday.

Arnoldlina lives with Aubry - who holds a full-time and a part-time job - but often stays with other relatives.

She got lost Tuesday after she and two stepsisters went to a market. A 9-year-old stepsister, Marjorie, brought Arnoldlina home and sent her upstairs. Marjorie stayed downstairs, waiting to be picked up by her father.

Arnoldlina eventually went back downstairs. When she didn't find anybody, she returned to the market to look for her 14-year-old stepsister, Farrah, who had left to use a pay phone, relatives said.

Workers at the market noticed Arnoldlina wandering in and out of the store and reported the lost girl to police. The media reported the story, and Arnoldlina appeared on the evening news.

Todd Bridges was ordered into a live-in drug treatment program for one year and placed on five years' probation for guilty pleas to drug and weapons charges.

The actor has been in custody in Pasadena, Calif., since Aug. 31 for a 90-day psychiatric evaluation. He was sentenced to residential treatment Thursday and was to check into the Brotman Medical Center in Culver City on Friday.

Superior Court Judge Thomas Stoever suspended a six-year prison sentence for Bridges, who appeared in the television series "Diff'rent Strokes."

He pleaded guilty July 29 to possession and transportation of a controlled substance and possession of a firearm. Bridges was arrested Dec. 29, 1992, after police found 1 1/2 grams of methamphetamine and a loaded 9mm gun in a car he was driving.

Federal worker Paul Pincus, who has chosen the Congressional Christmas tree every year for 30 years, told the San Francisco Chronicle that he uses four criteria: "Shape, size, form and density."

He picked a 65-foot-tall white fir from the San Bernardino National Forest this time around. And as for his tree at home? "I don't have a tree at home," he said. "I'm Jewish."

Having discovered that playing classical music makes people buy sexy underwear, Victoria's Secret plays classical music. What's more, the lingerie store does well selling albums of the music played in its stores.

This is extremely profitable, says Forbes magazine, because most of the classics are in the public domain. This Christmas, a boxed set of all five Victoria's Secret "Classics by Request" is on sale.

Four-hour tapes that include selections from the albums are sent from headquarters to each Victoria's Secret branch, where they are played over and over.

"I don't listen to any music when I get home," a salesclerk said. "I don't like classical music."
