Your own daughter may find the man of her choice has not yet proved his ability as a provider. Love for him may mnfiuence her to wait for his | chance to come. Sometimes that | chance comes, and sometimes the girl | has waited. There are practical con- siderations which should not be lost to your daughter. 1f marriage cannot be happy without love, it is as true that marriage cannot be happy without means. The young | man who can give nothing but love may be an appealing romantic nzure.i but romance steals out when the bill collectors focus their attention on one’s | nest. The young girl who loves a man nearing his thirties may determine fair- | ly well, if she is fair with herself, | whether that man will ever achieve any | sort of material success. By this we | do not mean a fabulous fortune, but enough to provide comfortably for him- self and family. ABETH ALLEN, | youth's chances and the worthwhile- | ness of waiting, what else may one do? | Work? That seems like compromising | with fate, and often as not the man | objects. It is a reflection, he believes, | on his own earning capacity. ‘This waiting for success to come has many disadvantages. It deprives a young girl of many opportunities, of- ten for better matches. It makes her dependent on the fortune of one man. Often she is not capable of judging intelligently that “one man's” chances of success, and she will not listen to the advice of others. There are some heroic measures but sound ones. One is to make the girl self-dependent, and give her a taste of sacrificing many of the things to which she has been accustomed. In her self-dependent role, she may even choose to share the none too attractive position life with him may afford at present, Spanish Groom 99, Bride 89.

Sulking is so far natural that na- ture has provided a characteristic ex- -pression for it in the protruding and hanging of the lips. Chimpanzees sulk: they then refuse the friendly ad- vances which when in good humor they welcome: they won't play and go off by themselves. They are disgruntled and show this by anti-sucial behavior. | Yeung humsns Ao the same.

Sulking occurs when the individual is | dissatisfled with his social treatment wnd withdraws. Among “problem” children—that is, children whose nervous constitution makes it difficult for them to respond favorably and properly to the ordinary methods of treatment— sulking is common. Often when w child becomes & “problem” in the home sur- roundings training in & group at board- | ing school or camp proves to be of great benefit. Group discipline is more veadily acce, ted. Dr.” Rademacher reports an experi- ment In handling 30 problem boys in a five-week Summer camp. There were six counselors and one psychiatrast on the job. The best way to treat sulkers was to let them alone. especially at the | beginning of the sulk. The sulker | would b> much in evidence, for he wanted to make it plain that he was | at outs with the world: he was a bit | nettled when he found that he was not | getting the counselor's attention. Then came the stage of rebellion. The sulker would threaten to go home, and make a show of collecting his be- longings and throwing them into a bag. He would tell the rest of the boys what thought of the rotten camp: he | wouldn't stand it. Though the cous selors paid no attention, he still carried on, made ready to steal away and when he had a gallery off he took to the | Ww00ds. | It arranged that he should be | met by a counselor, not his own, who | asked him quite casually where he was | going. By that time the sulker was | ready to go back, but there was the | problem of facing the other boys. If | he were jeered at and teased, the whole treatment would be ruined. That is where the tact of the counselor comes in. Boy and counselor return as| ! though they had been off on some in: teresting_excursion. the bag and th whole thing is forgotten, and the sulker is again one of a group. ‘The next step was to gain the boy's confidence, find out the cause of the trouble and | MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLY HOLLYWOOD, Calif., September 12. —A comedian was swept on to the skirts of tragedy in Hollywood recently whe Douglas MacLean fell over un- conscious while making & scene in the closed tonneau of & car and Was pro- nounced out of danger only after & lively battle. ‘The hood of the car was hlanketed down that & cawers tripod might be balanced thereon, and MacLean, whose business is making the world laugh, was doing his stuff in the closed back of the car. Carbon monoxide gases overcame the actor, who was rushed to (he studio hospital, For four hours he was in & dangerous condition. Douglas MacLean is the owner of Sue Carrol’s contracts, He saw the promise in the black-eyed Chicago girl and got her an opening in pictures. ‘While she is one of the most popular stars on the screen today, constantly in demand by producers and directors, she has not yet made any money on her acting experience. Such salary as she recelves doesn't settle for publicity, a bungalow at the Ambassador, gowns, cars, photographs by the thousand, a secretary and all the paraphernalia of a successful movie artist. But Sue Car- rol, who was crce Sue Lederer of Chi- cago, is independently wealthy. So it's not such a tragedy as one might think at a casual glance. Max Reinhardt will be allowed to make the most expensive movie In a land of high-priced movies. The genius of Halzburg generally works in superlatives, so the most costly movie is right in his line; also the most beautiful. It will be “The Miracle,” which he brought to America. And Lillian Gish will be the Madonna. It sounds like an excellent oppor- tunity for Lillian, and the genius of Reinbardt will have a scope not bound by the limits of the stage. Fritz Feld, BEAUTY CHATS Outlining the Eyebrows. One of the many uses of art Is to make up for the failures of nature. In the matter of nicely shaped eyebrows this happens to be easy. Of course, you can pull out hairs which do not grow where you want them to, and when most of them come in again, &s most of them will, pull them out, and keep on as long as you want the eye- brows to look neat. As a matter of fact, it takes some weeks for a new hair to come into sight, and if you have rubbed peroxide of hydrogen on the skin last time you pulled a hair the new one will be blonde and gener- ally weak in disposition and easy to pluck out. But many eyebrow troubles are dif- ferent, If the eyebrows are too faint to count for much, and if castor oil Tubbed into them fails to make them darker, dfter a trial of several months, then rub a brown eyebrow pencil very lightly over them and rub the color into the hair with the fingers. This shadows them enough to give them and the face more character. And if they are short, as most pale eyebrows are, give them length by running the pencil out be- yond the line of the hair, then smudge it with the finger, so it is only the ( faintest shadow. No suggestion of make-up must ever be noticeable. ‘There are plenty of eyebrow darken- . ing things on the market, some to be applied with a brush and some in a sufficiently thick cream to make into pencils or sticks. The soot cream (I but never have been able to think of | one) is excellent for darkening light eyebrows as well as eyelashes. Yet the hard little cream pencil is so conven- | lent, and there is no danger of getting the color in the wrong places, il[hp_ But always put the shading on very lightly.

Treatment was firm and kindly. Other varieties of sulking may be handled by the same kind of diplomacy. Many parents and some teachers | think this is making too much of a little thing: they incline t> the older, rough-and-ready method of knocking | this nonsense out of a boy and show- ing him where to get off. There is no | doubt that in many instances the | method will work; ~there are few methods of discipline so poor that they won't work some of the time. Also most children are not problem children, and they respond more or less favorably to a good many different methods. All of which doesn’t prove that the method But the problem child—the boy par- | ticulurly—does not take discipline well; that's one of his typical reactions. and the more rebellious he becomes the harder he is to handle, ‘The reply is obvious: “All children are rebellious if you give them w chance. No child with any spunk will yield at once and all the time.” Precisely! Problem children are just like other children, only more so. IUs all a matter of degree. i The essential matter to those who believe in progressive education methods | is to make the child less rebellious, not | more obedient to your ways, but’ I disturbed when giving up his way. ‘Their aim is to make the child feel les rebellious as well as accept advice and | conform. What ix to be treated is not | “bad” behavior but rebellious feelings. So any treatment that makes a is bad | for that child. You won't get betler behavior with more rebellion, but only with less rebellion: and that's a long. slow, delicate problem. This is a sample of good diplomacy when rough over- ruling authority might make matters | worse. The truth and the consolation re- mains. While the methods that work best with problem children are prob- | ably good for all children, other and | easier methods may be used in ordi- | nary cases. It isn't necessary to take | every case of sulks so serlous dling children who are intense and aggressive and show other evidences of a difficult nervous organization requires diplomacy: the diplomacy is directed | to lowering rebelliousness. Rebelllousness in itself, as aggressive- ness and independence, stuff that leadership is made of. The ulker is making a bad, childish use of his qualities, which must be directed to | useful outlets. It is better to circum- | vent than to put down rebellion.

MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS Beautifying the Neck. ‘There are three factors that con- tribute to the beauty of milady's neck —the color of the skin, its texture and the shape of the neck itself. If your neck falls short of beauty | in any of these three ways the trou- ble may be corrected by regular treat- ments. The fat neck with a double | chin and a lump of flesh at the nape be built out; coarsened, tanned, sal- low or red skin may be bleached and refined. At this season of the year there are girls and women whose chiel beauty problem is discolored skin on the neck. A bleaching lotion may be used every night for a week to restore whiteness to the skin. After scrub- bing the neck well with soap and water, rinse thoroughly, dry and pat on the following bleach: one tablespoonful carbonate of soda, one tablespoonful lemon juice, one ounce glycerin, Six ounces rose water, When this has dried pat on some znc ointment and leave it on overnight. Next morning wash the neck again and pat on the bleach- ing lotion. Dust on the proper shade The dry, red neck should be mas- ' saged at bedtime with a mixture of two ounces olive oil and five drops | tincture benzoin. This may be left on overnight. Pimples on the neck are usually due | to failure to cleanse the skin thoroughly | each night. It should be scrubbed with | @ bath brush and plenty of soap and waier. “Ripe” pimples may be pricked with a sterilized needle before the pus is gently pressed out. After the removal { the contents of the pimple, the place LEEDS. should be bathed in an antiseptic lotion like peroxide or boric acid solution. Some of my readers complain of red or brown scars left on the skin after pimples have been removed. These blemishes are often due to rough han- dling of the pimples or failure to sterilize the needle or to use an anti- septic on the wound. The hole made in the cap of the pimple should be small. If the pimple is really “ripe” the pus will come out on very slight pressure after the skin is punctured. ‘When the finger nails are used to force the pimple out. however, the skin be- comes bruised all round so that a larger scar is made. After bathing the spot with an antiseptic a little zinc oint- ment or other salve should be rubbed in to aid the healing process. Later this week I shall describe an astringent pack for fat or flabby necks and some exercises for improving the shape of the neck. (Copyright. 1928.) Everyday Law Cases May Accused Waive His Right to a Trial By a Jury? BY THE COUNSELLOR. Tom Burk, accused of having par- | ticipated in a recent robbery, was x;r-‘I raigned for trial. Although he was in- nocent of the charge, Burk feared the result of the trial because of his past record of petty offenses. Fearing that a jury might be easily mislead by evidence of his past of- fenses, Burk asked that he be tried by the judge. The prosecuting attorney objected, claiming that trial by jury could not be ! waived. The court, however, permitted the waiver, explaining: “Trial by jury is a privilege intended solely for the benefit of the accused and one that he may forego at his election. This is the view in the great majority of the States, and it seems to be the progressive view. Several States, Connecticut, Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Washington and Wisconsin, have specific statutes giving the accused the right of election.” | | The Royal Naval Schools of Great | Britain are to erect a $3,500,000 build- | ing at Suffolk, Englan FEATURES.
