If the talk 18 light, as befits casual conversation at a dance, she has a fund of amusing stories or little jokes from which to draw those that fit the occasion. If the talk turns to political situations, she has read the newspapers sufficiently to appre- ciate the conversation, and to put in a question or make a comment that betrays a_knowledge of the subject and a desire to upderstand it better. 1t books are the subject, she has at least read reviews of them and is not ignorant of the contents. And so her company is sought. There is nothing in these things that others cannot ac- if they desired to be popular. nge to say, many women believe popularity is a gift, not a matter that can be cultivated. It may be both in the most popular, but it can be a study also. Uninteresting Talk. I know of other girls who can con verse on nothing but clothes, how friends look in this or that suit, or what they, themselves, have seen or brought, etc. This is as tiresome to men as details of household affairs are, which, unfortunately, seem to be all ‘that some home-makers. can_con verse about. Other girls can talk of nothing, apparently, but plays, mov- ies, actors and actresses, with occa- sional bits about the plays themselves. Imagine holding a man's attention for any great length of time on any one of these subjects. It may be done once, but beware of making a second attempt Diversity of Subjects. It is not enough, let me repeat, to e interested in a matter yourself. It must hold the attention of others. Fortunately, this tends to enlarge the scope of women, for who does not wish to be popular? When once a woman appreciates the necessity of diversity of interests, she fmproves. This improvement is quick to be noted by her friends, and she begins to ac- quire one of the great clements of | popularity. Conversational Bores. Just a word more. Have you never been bored by a man who could talk of nothing but his golf score, or his business?

It was the very day Pe- ter Rabbit met him down the Laugh ing Brook, some distance below his pond. And Peter was partly respon sible for it. At least, he likes to think he was, and 1 guess he really was. You see, when Peter remembered that it was a certain kind of tree that Paddy was looking for it popped into that funny little head of his that here was a chance for him to be of some use. He might help Paddy the Beaver Why not He could get around great deal faster than Paddy could, so why shouldn’t he have a look around for poplar trees? No soomer did the idea pop into his head than off he went, lipperty-lipperty-lip, as fast a his legs could take him. He didn't tell Paddy what he was going to do. He didn’t even say good-bye. “Humph!” muttered Paddy, “Humph! That long-eared bunch of curiosity hasn't any politeness. No, sir, there isn't any pyilteness in him. 1 wonder what Is in that foolish mind of his now. Well, I can't stop to wonder. I want to find eut about the trees we will need for next Winter's food, and the only way to find out is to keep a- looking and a-looking. I haven't found enough in any one place yet.” So Paddy went on roaming about and getting farther and farther from the Laughing Brook. It made him nervous.

Peter discov ered this and walited. At last they came to a little grove of poplar trees of all sizes. There was one great, big one, a few middle size ones and a lo of small ones. Paddy’s eyes sparkled when he saw these. /They were grow ing near together. 'Eagerly he went about looking them over and judging how many there were. They were at the foot of a little hill, some of them a little way up the slope. At last Paddy siged with pure happiness. “Peter,” said he, “I am ever and ever so much obliged to you.

HOW IT STARTED BY JEAN NEWTON. “To Gain a Foothold.” We are all familiar with this phrase for getting advantageously intrenched in whatever is one's line of endeavor, of getting a “good start.” A popular expression in everyday speech in which we find the term is “gaining a foothold on the ladder of success.” It is in the sense of a “good start” that the words had thelr origin, dating back as they do to the days of the great Roman games, the ancestors of our own Olympic games and the com- petitive athletics of our day. Before the start of a foot race it was the custom of these anclent ath- letes to do a bit of jumping and pos- turning, somewhat as the competitol in a tennis match today will “volley’ a bit before the game. This was called “getting the foot in,” and is analogous to a good position at the starting line, a “foothold,” to the aptness of which modern runners can testify. It is easily comprehensible, then, how the latter term should have found its way into everyday speech to express getting a good start at anything. {Copysight, 1925.) | wears a lent. | | that may HOME NOTES BY JENNY WREN. The woman who seeks to put great individuality and personal charm into her Christmas gifts will be impressed with the possibilities of dressing one of the boudoir character dolls the shops are showing. These dolls have cloth bodies, hair of silk floss and painted faces. They are all ready for dressing when purchased. Partlcularly would a young girl or woman who possessed a dainty bou- dofr appreciate one as a gift. The two dolls shown are dressed to represent historical characters. The lady at the left is none other than the winsome Empress Eugenie. She peach taffeta frock with many ruffles edged in apple green rib bon.

During the day it is quite possible that your affairs will seemingly be at “sixes and sevens' and petty annoyances will cause you more worry than the serious problems confront you. At such times it is well to cultivate a philo- sophical attitude, and above all, to tolerant and forbearing. You only lose out if you permit yourself to get “fussed up” about little things. In the evening there will prevail an en- tirely different atmosphere, and you will” feel like laughing over those trivial incidents that almost made you despair during the earlier part of the day.

T (Copyright. 1925.) Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Rickets and Sunlight. Mothers hear of the prevalence of vickets, the use of cod liver oil, and ey naturally grow frightened, know- ing little of what it is all about but fearing the worst. Rickets is a disease of nutrition in which, through lack of the proper food elements and sunlight, the bones tay soft and do not solidify sufficien: to uphold the weight of the bod: This brings about such well known distortions as knock knees and bow legs, chicken breast, an enormously protruding abdomen, square head, fail- ure of the fontanel to close by 18 months, lumpy ends of bone at wrists and ankles, etc. All of these symp- toms may not be present in one child, though in a bad case they often are, but a child with a mild case of 1ickets will exhibit some pronounced sign of them. Rickets {s rather a puzzling disease because nursing children develop it the same as bottle Bibies. Dark- skinned races, especlally the negro, are more easily disposed to it than fair-skinned persons, and it is more prevalent in Winter than {n Summer. It has been found that cod liver oil cures it, in addition, of course, to a proper diet and sunlight. Exposure to direct sunlight (not through a glass) for 156 minutes a day will tend to harden the bones. Cod liver oil con- tains essential vitamins, and it also has a tendency to make the calcium and phosphorus present in other foods more easily assimilated by the body. One need not know just how these cures are brought about, but it is vitally important for the mother to know that her child needs sunlight, fresh air and right food, in order to be free of the dangers of rickets. In addition, a further safeguard during the Winter months, when sunlight is at a premium, is the use of cod liver oil, on general principles. e Coffee Persimmon Cake.

Iam employed as a stenographer and make a fairly good salary. As far as money is concerned, I can pay my own way, but my trouble is in zetting some one to care for the children. I have tried boarding with them, but it is unsuccessful. The children are sweet and lovable and well mannered, but, of course, they are noisy and restless, and every night when I come home from work the woman we board with is full of complaints about how they have annoyed her. My husband’s people are willing to take the children, but only on condition that 1 give them up altogether, and I cannot bear to do this. Can you suggest any way out of the dilemma? YOUNG MOTHER. Answer: If you have sufficient income to afford it, the thing to do would be for you to establish a home of your own, and employ a competent governess to take care of the children. But this would require a good deal of money: more, 1 fear, than you earn. To leave your children in charge of just an ordinary, unreliable, ignorant servant is to run a great danger of their being neglected, and of their being taught things that you would not wish them to know. Your plight suggests o crying need for the establishment of some sort of place where children who are past the baby stage can be left by their mothers who are employed during the day. Here is a tip for some of the intelligent, educated women who want to earn money in tbeir own homes. They might, with profit to themselves, establish day homes for children in which mothers could leave their youngsters when they wanted to work, or went shopping, or to the matinee, certain that their little ones would be well taken care of and amused and made happy. I certainly should not advise you to give vour children to vour in-aws, unless you can absolutely find no other way of taking care of them. Your mother heart would cry for them unceasingly, and you would be utterly miserable without them. And to deprive your children of a mother’s love nd care and tenderness is to rob them of the most precious thing that life can ever give them ,ur husband’s people must be »u have had sorrow enough in pity you, and try to lighten your But what cold and callous creatures that they ask this sacrifice of you! Surely your husband's misfortune to make ther k g life, instead of taking from you the last ray of sunshine in it! And the brave way in which you have gone to work to support yourself and the children should rouse their admiration, and make them glad to lend you a helping hand over this rough spot in your life. For in a 1#ile while your children will be old enough to put in school, and that will automatically solve the problem of what to do with them. DOROTHY DIX. e, AR MISS DIX: Will you please answer the following questions for a club of five 16-vear-old girls: » First. What is it about a girl that attracts boys to her? ! Second. If a boy likes a girl, will he find means of getting acquainted with her? 5 Third. How can a girl become attractive A Fourth. If a girl likes a boy, how can she make him like her? A CLUB OF FIVE GIRLS. Answer: First. The chief thing that boys like about girls is their being irls. The attraction of the sexes is the primal law of nature. u Bl evond this general attraction is the specific attraction of the individual There is an instinctive bond between certain individuals. No man knows why he falls in love with the particular woman he does. No woman can tell why she is sure that a certain man is just the one man for he speaking. the things that boys like in girls 00d dancers, and to to talk to, and pleas re for the girls to e a good line of nt to get along Broadl be pretty, to dress tastefully, to be jolly. Boys like girls who are e with, and who are sweet and amiable. E s "They don’t want a girl to run after them, neither do they want a girl to be too difficult. Second. Certainly any boy who likes a L'n‘ll \\\nu fin{il zonas way of etting acquainted with her. And if he likes her he will tell her so. B Rind. A girl can make herself attractive by dressing in good taste, and learning how to walk and stand properly. She can add to her attractions by learning to play a good game of bridge and golf and tennis, and especially by becoming a fine dancer. The girl who can play on the piano and sing s a headliner attraction. e Fiut good nature and 4 jolly disposition are the greatest attractions of all. Fourth. There is no “follow-this-rule-and-you-cannot-fail"’ recipe for winning the heart of a man All thut a girl can do is just to make she can, and trust to luck that she will win hi EAR DOROTHY DIX: I worked hard, and made a fortune, which I lavished on my children, who are now all grown. Through no fault of )st my money, and my children abuse me for not having a fortune for them to spend. Why should they be so ungrateful when they had all that I made in 30 years FATHER. herself as agreeable to him as DOROTHY DIX. » Answer: I suspect that the reason why vour children are selfish and ungrateful is because you spoiled them, because you reared them to think of nothing but themselves and their own pleasure. I am strongly of the opinion that parents reap just what they sow in their children, and that when their treat them it is their own fault. You cannot cultiva and greediness, and lack of consideration for others in anybody for 20 or 30 years, and then expect them tobe unselfish and considerate and altruistic. Every father writes his own price tag for his children. speak fmpudently to him and defy his opinion when they are little, they will curse him when they are grown and treat him with contempt, but if he forces them to treat him with respect, they grow up honoring and reverencing him. If a father makes of himself nothing but a cash register for his fami <hould not be surprised that they kick him around when the re s empty. If you had taught your children to think of you, and to do things for you, and to appreciate what you did for them when they were little, you would not now have cause to compiain of their ill treatment of you.

Dear Girls: From Parls we simply rushed back to New York just as fast as we could go. Very little of interest happened on our voyage home except that we had a dreadfully rough cross- ing, and spent a good part of the time in our cabins wishing we'd never left our happy homes. New York never looked so good as on the night we arrived. When we , blazing with advertising all the new plays > hadn't seen and the new dance places which had just opened, we felt in the mood for a good weep. It seemed so darn good to see every- body rushing about madly in the good old-fashioned way—we were almost persuaded to hop out of the cab and rush off to get mixed up in a nice sub- way jam. But our kind friends had other plans for us. In spite of the fact that we'd just arrived and were presumably weary unto death, they had arranged a large and expensivo party for us, and we simply must not back out. So we didn’t. Instead, we rushed up to a hotel, donned all the Parisian finery we could lay hands on, and sallied forth to as- tonish the world. There were eight of us on the party—and what a party! We began with a nice conservative dinner, saw the newest and noisfest play in town, and then settled down to the business of inspecting all the night clubs which had opened in our absence. Our first sfop was at T- -'s, a weird exotic place done all in black and dark reds. Oh, how good it seemed to hear a genuine American orchestra softly wailing the blues—how heavenly to see the floor filled with Americans talking blessed English and dancing smoothly instead of hopping about, A horrible woman appeared and writhed about in a snake dance, and we left in disgust. Then on to a delightful club which was supposed to represent heaven— but most of the costumes worn therein seemed rather inappropriate. The cefling was covered with stars and clouds and all the paraphernalia that goes with heaven. We were delighted to hear American girls ordering their men about instead of taking orders from them in the European style. . It seemed so jolly to hear a petulant young voice exclaim: “George, didn't I tell you to bring my cloak,” instead of “George, dear, wouldn't you like a pillow for your feet?” which is the correct line to take in Europe The evening, or rather morning, fin- ished with an excellent breakfast com- posed of turkey sandwiches and a few pickles.
