r oM M Sport Socks for Comfort and Style BY MARY Every one admires shapely ankles, and yet most of us feel that there is something decidedly smart about the little short socks with cufts that make the shapeliest of ankles look as bulky as possible. The fashion, I believe, be: 8D as part of the conventional ice sports and skating ensemble. Men wore them before women did. Short A KNITTED BEACH SOCK BLACK AND WHITE STRIPES IS SHOWN ABOVE. THE TENNIS SOCKS ARE OF WHITE COTTON, WITH A COLORED DESIGN IN CUFFS, AND THE GOLF SOCKS WITH woolen socks of this sort kept snow from getting into the shoes and gave the extra warmth needed to feet and ankles. ‘Then certain tennis players decided that instead of woolen stockings they would wear merely short woolen socks over their stockings. Followed their we:* for golf, country walks and other outdoor activities. The idea was & good one, because, as every one may @iscover for himself, the feet of the oman are much more comfort- if protected by a layer of soft wool to prevent rubbing of the shoes against the skin.

You are doing the right thing. “Watch Your Weight” is one of the best health rules. It is very muc better to reduce a few pounds every few months, for in this manner you save yourself having to reduce a great many pounds in a year or so. The more pounds you accumulate, the faster they come on, for they limit yo: tivities and lessen your food nee I think it would be better for you to | reduce each week's surplus. You could probably very easily do that by going on one very low calorie day a week, tak around 600 calories of skim milk or friit on this day. Six hundred cal- ories of anything would do, however. With the diet you suggested, you probably are getting correct propor- tions of the food elements. You should have at least two glasses of skim milk or buttermilk daily, and if you are not taking any flesh foods, you should have chrese or eggs. It is important to get sufficient protein or building elements.

They are worn with bare legs, with or without bathing shoes. For ennis light-weight white woolen short ocks with fancy cuffs are usually worn, | with lisle or silk stockings of sunburnt | hue. | For golf these cuffed short socks have |a decided advantage over the regular | woolen sports stockings that have been worn. Some sort of woolen foot cover- ing is highly desirable to prevent rub- bing of the shoes, but, as many women | have found. even a short skirt has a iendency to cling to woolen stockin, and this may interfere with one’s drive. For this reason lisle or silk is desirable for the upper part of the stocking There are stockings made with ankle cuffs attached that give the effect of ‘sepnn\t" cuffed socks—and climsy | ankles—without the inconvenience of ! the double foot covering.

I want it substantial, for they will be ravenous after that long motor ride. Now, Nancy. darling, put on your thinking cap and tell me what to have and how to make it.” Nancy darling obediently did as she was told. The result justified Lois’ faith. At least you would have thought so if you could have heard the guests rved at luncheon on that hot August day. Lois brought in a platter holding 2 round, creamy mold surrounded by crisp green lettuce, round, red radishes and sections of gold and white hard-cooked egg. The dish was a frozen chicken salad loaf.

She cannot hold her girl friends, rushing one a while, then dropping her for a stranger. Not at all popular with boys, though anxious to be derstend. Will not stand for even gentle advice. What is the right cout a mother and the hest father in the world to pursue to guide such a vacillating, temperamental, un- formed character in the right direction?—M. S. M Answer—All that you say about your daughter are the common symptoms of adolescence. There is nothing the matter with her except that she is 16, and she will get over this in time. Virtually all girls go through this same period of mental and physical unrest when their nerves are raw and their minds upset, when they are irritable and hard to get along with and unreasonable and moody and discontented because they don't know themselves what they want. It is a hard time for them and still harder time for their afflicted families, and the best thing for all concerned is for the girl to be sent off to some good | boarding school during this period, because when she is among strangers she is | forced to exercise a self-control that she does not feel called upon to do at home { And also because it prevents the daily conflict betveen the girl and her parents, ] which often leaves wounds that never heal ., For the girl thinks she is grown up and has a conceit of her own opinion | that she will never have again and a contempt for her parents’ attainments and | mentality th e will likewise never have again. Also she is determined to as- { sert her own liberty at any cost and defy every effort to control her movements, On thelr part, the parents still look upon her as v | be under complete’ authority and who has o right .n“;.1.“y”fm?{Q-Té‘u;‘l"{’n;fi‘é‘fi‘r" | and opinions or t0 liberty of action. Naturally, these two opposite points of view clash, with the result that during a girl’s hobbledehoy stage she is in a perpetual quarrel with her mother and father. She regards them as tyrants and they accuse her of ingratitude, and often a situation arises f whic] {grea( unhappiness for both parties.

I raised seven children. Did all my baby-tending. cooking, washing. ironing and sat up at nights to sew to make them clothes to go to school in. I gave them all good educations and now they are prosperous, have thelr own | homes and cars, etc,, but they never show me any attention. They take other people to ride, but never ask mother. I don’t want my children to give me any money, but it breaks my heart that they never show me any little attentions. But I don't think that the way I sacrificed myself has anything to do with the { way they treat me. MOTHER. i Answer—Well, {f you don't, you don't belicve in cause and effect, nor the good old Biblical doctrine that as you sow so will you reap. Every mother who is a real mother has to sacrifice herself to her children | If she is a poor woman, she has to sacrifice herself to the part of martyrdom, s vou have done. That is inevitable. But whether her sacrifices are appre- | ciated by her children or not depends altogether upon herself. Children are by nature little savages. They are greedy, selfish, grabbing what they want for themselves without any thought of any one else. They have to be civilized. They have to be taugh' unselfishness and to respect the ights of others. They have to be taught fair play and gratitude. Evidently you didn’t humanize your chiliien. You didn't teach them to be grateful to you because you worked so hard to make them comfortable. You | didn’t teach them to appreciate the fices yo: made for them. You didn't | teach them that they must make some return to you for all you did for them. | You didn't teach them to look up to you and respect you and admire you. You didn't teach them any reverence for motherhood. they would not now neglect you.
