WOMAN'’S PAGE. Wearing of Second-Hand Clothes BY MARY MARSHALL. From what one sees and hears, it veally does seem as if second-hand clothes were coming into fashion. But, of course, it all depends on © they were first-hand.

It is quite a different matter Our Children— By Angelo Patri Don't See It.

Prior, however, 10 reaching their ‘“teens” their ail- ments will give rise to worry and anx- | fety. There is nothing in the signs that indicates anyvthing, but a suc- cessful outcome and the attainment of & normal maturity. In disposition, they will be very self-willed and, at times, quite stubborn. When they dis- play marked unwillingness to become amenable through affection, force must be used, no matter how distaste- | ful such a task may be. Underlying averything, however, these children il have hearts of gold, and their fu- 1ure will depend very largely, more so than usual, on environment in their | €arly vears If tomorrow is vour birthday, sre a dissatisfied person—not onl: Joggerheads with yourself, but with others. You are rarely, if ever, happy. One of the chief causes of your discon- tent {s that you are too self-centered ®&nd, naturally, selfish. In all your ac- tions. you are guided by thoughts of welf, d never give a thought to the convenlence, desires or wishes of oth- ers. You, however, are subject to pe- rlods of emotionalism, and can easily persuade yourself that you are liberal, considerate and kind and never fail to try to impress this on those with whom vou assoclate. You might fool yourself, but vou never fool others. This is the explanation of the paucity of friends from which you suffer and of which you so often complain. You are very capable, industrious and honest. All this, however, counts for very little, unless you overcome 1he besetting weakness of devoting all >our talents to the furthering of your own selfish purposes.

No need to rip epert. | | Betty cries and promises, but the next to have to wear a Winter coat that your rich sister-in-law_thought per- haps you could use. It had becoms a trifle out-of-date for her. Some years ago some of the dress- makers even made use of embroid- eries taken from old priestly vest- ments and altar hangings. Even if you have no religious misgivings on the subject you may feel that such textiles are rather inappropriate. It would be like using an antique bap- tisimal font for a punch bowl. The burnoose worn by Arabs in the north of Africa has for some years been the source of occasional Inspiration for French dressmakers. Now and then some venturesome woman has gone so far as to wear an actual burnoose in lieu of an eve- ning wrap. I heard the other day of a new type of evening wrap, sev- eral of which have been made in Paris, that is an exact copy of the Arab burnoose—made of gorgeous metal cloth striped with mellow yel- lows, soft purples, green and rose— Just the sort of striped material that one would naturally associate with the costumery of the Arabs. Mandarin coats, some of them ver- itable antique coats that have been worn by rich and influential manda- rins, come now and then into favor. Every once inawhile one sees some well dressed woman of distinctive taste wearing one of these richcly embroidered Chinese wraps to the opera or theater. (Copyright, 1820.) My Neighbor Says: ‘When frying doughnuts If you put a teaspoon of vinegar in the grease, it will not boil over, and the doughnuts will not taste so greasy. When white clothes have turned yellow with much wash- ing, put them In the boller, half full of water, to which a handful of salt and washing soda has been added. Bring this to a boll and keep simmering for some hours. Rinse the clothes in plenty of cold water and hang them in the sun to dry. Clothes treated in this way will be per- fectly white. A good way to save s to have a little box and put every stray 5 or 10 cent plece in it. You wiil be surprised to see at the end of a month how many little things you can deny yourself without changing your diet in the least. Pour a few drops of ammonia into every greasy roasting pan after filling the pan with hot water. If the pots and pans are treated in this way immediately after being used and are left to stand until it i{s time to wash them, the work of cleaning them will be found half done. To make cocoa for 100 persons elght quarts of water, elght quarts of milk, one pound and a half box of cocaa, two pounds of sugar and a teaspoonful of salt are required. the tumbler. She tries again, stretch- ing a bit and this time succeeds in touching the glass. “My, my, Betty, don't do Don't touch mother’s glaas. spill it. No, no. Naughty. very naughty.” Betty subsides for the instant but immediately, with the most rougish look in her eyes, reaches again for the tumbler and this time sends it over with a splash. ‘“You are a very naughty girl. Now vou must go to your room and stay by yourself until we finish dinner., Such a naughty child. After I told you not to.” Betty howls loudly and there is a great upsetness. But from then on she reaches for every tumbler in sight and insists upon tipping them over. To see a tumbler is to throw it down. No slapping, no scolding, no insola- tion seems to check the impulse. that. You'll You are tumbler brings on the same reaction. Why? Childrén remember sharply the im- pression that was recorded in the emo- tion. Something that happened when they were very happy, or very angry or very sorry will sink deeper than something that called out no emotion. That is why naughty words are re- membered when lessons are lost. When Betty reached for the tumbler | her mother was excited and made a fuss about it. That was dramatic and dramatics please little children above all else. Tipping the water was @o- companied by so much drama and so much consequent delight to the little one, she even enjoyed howling and having everybody excited about {t, that the memory of it sank deep. So sharply was it registered that the night of the tumbler brought back the desire to repeat the experience. If, then, a child looks out of the cor- ner of his eye and gestures toward a forbldden joy, look into the dis- tance, remove all expression from vour face, take the thing out of reach and continue your talk or your work as though vou hadn’t noticed. Even if he cries and kicks, discipline him with some cold water for the tantrum, but say nothing about his desire to od mischief. Not even to the use of “Don’t,"” {f you can possibly manage it. That which is registersd in memory by deep emotlon stays a long time. Be watchful. (Copyright. 1926.) -— Chooolate Bread Pudding.

Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Mrs. R. B. W.—It is populari belleved that a child becomes ‘“hard- ened” by wearing short socks in the coid weather. Perhaps this arises from the fact that the Scotch, who live In a cold country, are such a rugged nation. It seems to me that it is foolish to force a puny child to go without enough clothing to keep him comfortable. For the strong. healthy, warm-blooded child it woulad ! certainly give him no more discom- fort than having his face uncovered, once he becamse used to it. I do not know if there is any law about & physician delivering his own child, but it is certainly contrary to custom, The last question I cannot answer. I doubt if there is any set gain. Mrs. T. E. W.—You are quite right about the forcible feeding. If it is possible by early training to make such methods unnecessary it is far the most sensible and kindest way. One only resorts to any such method when it becom question of the baby’s health as against his stub. bornness. Mothers could obviate the necessity of any such proceedings by ®iving a bottle early in the child’s life, before he has become 8o habituated to the breast alone, and the enforc- Ing of this bottle would teach him the futility of refusing foods when he 18 older. Thank you for your in- teresting letter. Mra. H. A. G.—Milk, bolled water and sugar make a generally better formula than oatmeal water and milk. The baby can take six ounces at a feeding, once in four hours. Change to once in three, now, and later change to once in four hours. A child should never be fed any oftener than every three hours. The baby is a normal weight. Write for a weaning leaflet, which contains formulas, sending a self-addressed and stamped envelope for it. Mrs. S. S. S.—Please write for leaflet No. 7, which answers your question. Send a self-addressed and stamped envelope with your request for it. Mrs. A. L. R.—What you need is the leaflet on diet for the four-year- old, and the one on forcible feeding, 80 that the child will be taught that he must eat the foods that will nour- ish him. Send a self-addressed and stamped envelope and ask for ‘‘Feed- ing and Forcible Feeding” leaflets. Mrs. H. G.—It is just possible that he has an intolerance for protein. It might be wise to have the protein test made of both cereal and egs The leaflet on forcible feeding might be helpful after you have assured yourself that his distaste has no real foundation. A Mother.—If the child 1& gaining on thy formula you are giving him that is evidence enough that it is all right. The leaflet on constipation will suggest ways in which you can help that condition. The require- ments for it are just a self-addressed and stamped envelope. Leaving out the cereal water and adding some sugar to the milk would likely help the constipation naturally. “Puzzlicks” Puzzle-Limericks.

EAR DOROTHY DIX: I am very much in love with a man, but I know in my heart of hearts that he does not give me a thought beyond friendship. This world was surely made for men, Miss Dix. If a man loves & girl he at least has a chance of winning her, but a girl must sit back and watch another girl come along and take the man she loves. NAX\:CE. Answer: I agree with you, Nance, that there is nothing else in the world %0 unfair and so unreasonable as the convention that prevents a woman from As you say, when a man falls in Jove with a girl he can at least try to win her. He can attempt to “sell himself,” as they say in business, to her. He can bring himseif to her notice. He can tell her of his affection, and love begets love. He can tell her what he has to offer her and try to make her see that she would be happy as his wife. But the poor girl in love can do none of these things. If she shows the man any attention, people accuse her of running after him and it scarcs him off. And if she should summon up enough courage to pop the question, she would frighten him so that he would either drop dead of the shock or else say ‘‘no” in & panic, for fear some woman was marrying him against his will. Yet there would be many more happy marriages than there are now if women could take the Initiative in lovemaking, for women have more discernment In matters of the heart than men have and would make better and wiser choices. You would never find a highly intelligent, educated woman picking out a feeble-minded boy for & husband, for Instance, just because he had eycs like a dying calf. Nor would you find many rich old women marrying college boys in the belief that they had inspired & passion in the jellybeans' hearts. Yes, there would be many more happy marriages if women could do the courting, because all that many a man needs is just to have the matrimonial matter put up to him in the right light to make him see what a suitable wife some woman would make for him of whom he never thinks himself. Think what it would mean If some middle-aged woman, with an unsatisfied mother yearning in her heart, could go to a widower with many children and say to him: “I am the woman you need for a wife. Marry me and let me mother your little ones and I will make you a happy and a comfortable home and bring up your children to be.fine men and women, whereas you will be perfectly miserable and the children and their stepmother will be in a perpetual fight if you marry that flapper you are thinking of.” Suppose the lonely old maid could go to the lonely old bachelor and say, “‘Come on, let's get married. We like the same things. We have the same interests. I am a guod cook and just long to get up good meals for & man who would enjoy them. Let's pool our loneliness and make a twosome of it and set up & home.” Suppose the rich woman could say to the poor man, “I love you. I have scads of money that brings me no happiness. Marry me and let me set you up in bueiness and save you from the vears of hardship that are killing you. Let's get married and enjoy life together.” Don't you believe that these men would be glad enough to say “yes?" Men say these things to women every day. Why shouldn't women say them to men? Why shouldn't women haye the right to pick out the men they want for husbands? It makes a lot more difference to 2 woman whom she marries than it does to a man, because she is always so much more married than he is. Twenty years from now we shall have equal sentimental rights, and it will be just as much a commonp] for & woman to pop the question as it is now for her to vote. And nobody will think it any more unwomanly. DOROTHY DIX. s s e DEAR MISS DIX: What would vou de if your flance _made $240 a month and you made $100, and he continually borrowed money from you and never mentioned paying It back? Every week the young man to whom I am engaged .comes to me and tells me that he has overdrawn his bank account and asks me for money. This nearly worries me to death. Don't you think if he worries me this much before marriage, that I will have some real worries after marriage? CONSTANCE. Answer: 1 certainly do, Constance. 1 think that after marriage you will have troubles aplenty, and that you will in all probabllity have to support your husband. It seems to me that any man who will wheedle the hard-earned money out of & working girl is just about as contemptible a grafter as you can find in the length and breadth of the land, and the fact that he uses her love for him to make his touch is all the more dastardly. He might, at least, hold up another man. Between the man who borrows money that he never even tries to repay, and that he could repay by making a sacrifice of some of his expensive tastes and habits, and the man who picks vour pocket there is little difference. One is just as dishonest as the other. One robs you just as much as the other. If your flance were sick and unable to work and in need, you would be Justified in giving him your last penny, but when he is well and strong and earning more than twice what You are, you are a foolish, weak, easy mark to give him a cent. H Certainly it s a poor prospect of happiness that he holds out for your future, for if he cannot live on his salary as & single man how can he expect t0 do S0 as a married man? The old adage says that if vou lend a friend money you lose both your money and your friend. This goes double when a woman lends money to a| man. Nothing kills a man’s affection for & Woman and makes him hate her | so quickly as owing her money. i DOROTHY DIX. JDEAR MISS DIX: You are wrong in saving that 23 years is too much | difference between the age of a husband and a wife. When & girl marries she wants to settle down, and she does not expect to go to parties and places of amusement, and she is glad to have a husband who is tired of running around and who wants to stay at home of nights. JOHN F. Answer: Alas, John, I fear you know little of the modern woman. Not many of them are ready to be nothing but fireside companions as soon as they are married. They still want to jazz and go around a bit, and no complaint {8 made more frequently than that they have stick-in-the-mud husbands who will not take them out at all. And if this s true when they marry young men, how much worse must it be when they marry men who have had their fling and who cannot realize that their young wives want also to have a bite at the cakes and ale of which they have eaten their fill?
