The Gimmies ; - By SHIRLEY RODMAN WILLIAMS ————— DON'T know where it originated, but we've had always since childhood a phrase to designate that dissatisfied, wanting-something-else-feeling which some children have all the time and other children occasionally We called it, “The Give Me's.” which, being contracted was always “The Gimmies.” It's an awful flisease to let grow on one, that craving always for something It creates much discontent and unhappiness. One of the surest ways for Grown-Ups to foster it in a child is to gratify his every whim, to give him spending money every day and to let him find fault with things. i you love your child curb “The Gim mies” now—help him to be content without everlastingly cravigy something more and new ~ vy | . ) | = {1 & e | This tonic may be used twice a week { between shampoos.
