SSUMING that. you have ar. ranged your faances so that you have a certain amount of your total wages, salary, al- o lowance, ldnoomc earned or un- earned, to spend on your wearing apparel—have you decided how much to spend on this and that? Have you @ecided what percentage sou may ‘wisely spend on hats? How much shoes Whether or not you need one? These questions are really serious thought—and budgets within ludn.t.’lm:hmud be part of your mone- tary m. How much do you spend on acces- he little things that you some- Mimes forget in listing the essentials of z:ur wardrobe, but which you never ve a chance to forget when you go lhmm‘? Do you acknowledge to your- self that they really are important and essential or whenever you find that you have spent some of your dress l:on:y for them do you feel a sense -of hat | g5 ite: conversation with such remarks as: “Isn't he a card?” “Now look here, Iy young rascal, or you'll get your hands sla) " “Did you ever see any one like him?” Well, of course, he wasn't a “card”— or the least . He was fi‘a’cythe usual strong, healthy, men- -alert youngster and he wriggled Yolently when held: hung on to the lady's pocketbook with a grip of steel, and jumped up and down on the scales @8 if they were a hobby harse. Just . & regular child ¢ £ As long as a baby lies om the bed and plays contentedly with his own hands and feet. or ratiles a paper or Jooks at a ball he ism't muoch of a problem. As soon &s he begins to navigate and hangs tightly to every- thing that comes within his reach, and throws the china on the floor with the same vigor with which he formerly threw his rattle, he acquires the name of. being “naughty.” It is all in the adult’s viewpoint. The baby hasn't d, merely grown, and now he manipulates his environment at will, instead of accepting that portion of I’:"lhlch his mother deigns to hand to m. The mother fafls to keep pace with the bab) 2s a baby and on to the next ane, which now reveals the child. She laments his former “goodness” and dancing frocks must be bought or made and that raincoats and rubbers are an absolute necessity. But when daughter comes home from a shopping tour with arms full of small bundles—and eyes beaming with sat- isfaction—and the bundles reveal noth- ing but accessories, motler may be vexed. There is a perfectly entrancing scarf in one—a new purse in another. A bouguet of artificial flowers in an- other and ribbon and a buckle for a new belt in another. Mother registers her disapproval. How much wiser it would have been not to buy all those trifies—she ob- then to have had enough to buy a really creditable new suit or a hat of real distinction! And yet it may be that daughter has been entirely sensible in her choice. She may realize that with the new scarf and belt a last season's frock may be given a mew lease on life; she may know that a shabby handbag ruins the effect of the smartest ensemble, and that sometimes a well chosen bouton- niere will bring & note of vivacity to one's appearance that is worth far more than the price involved. 3 wast- ying aceessories by exerting strict self-denial re- them.

If we are trying to rear children to be adults there seems no really good reason why they should be introduced to violence in any form, since violence is not a social virtue, behavior is antagonistic to his interests? ‘That is exactly the stand we take when we sparrk. What the child does is really helpful to hi but it is annoying to us, and so we to prevent his doing it by hurting him sufficiently to make him afraid to do it. Nothing very much to be proud of there. Spankers, for some unknown reason, are always very proud of themselves. It is the.non-spanker who always feels he must apologize for his stand on discipline, Our belief is that the child should be allowed all possible freedom to investi- gate his surroupdings when we are with him. If we can make him under- stand that he can handle and look at mother’s mirror and father's ash tray when mother or father are with him, and that he is not to touch them when y.

But there are methods more effective and more edu- cational than others. All kinds of methods work for a time, and this re- sults in the familiar experience of. mothers who are willing to swear that slapping a baby's hands has been an effective deterrent to him. But far more mothers discover that slapping has only A temporary effect on small children. ‘The urge to see and understand the numerous appealirg objects about him is far greater than the pain of a slap. ‘The tiny baby may be temporarily re- strained from touching an object, but such a method is less as & con- stant punishment, for the sane and sim- ple reason that to be effective it has to come as a shock, and shocks grow - o "W hear faf oo Tmuch of this: “WhaL with in any manner that pleases layed mm This takes constant vigilance at Just how the mother is to manage ! first, but it can be learned as baby learns all the other things the first few years.

Geomancy makes use of geumetrical res. Lithomancy is based on the aspect of_precious stones. Bibliomancy is based on the random cholce of words or texts of the Bible. Onomancy assumes a hidden meaning in the way letters are arranged in per- sonal names, Myomancy makes use of the be- havior of mice. Chiromancy is the name given for telling fortunes by the hands and cartomancy by means of playing cards. Even if you put the whole thing down as nonsense and superstition the chances are that you are glad enough to have your own fortune told when- ever the opportunity presents itself, and the girl who can tell .clever fortunes is always in demand. ‘This week's circular tells of a num- ber of ways of telling fortunes—some of them based on age-old systems and others that are quite new.

Soap and Your Complexion “I never use soap of any kind on nay face,” said Mrs. Brown, who by the way, is noted for her fine complexion, to Mrs. Jones, who had an equally beauti- ful one. “Soap irritates my skin, leav- Ing it roughened and dry and red- dened. Therefore I use creams and wiping off um::'-’u't; e iece g a soft pi of absorbent cotton and then face with warm water followed by v The result you may see for your- selt.” Now Mrs. Jones pursud an entirely different method, also with excellent results, She uses soap as a cleanser, thinks its perferable to any cream on the market as an aid to dissolving sur- face dirt and grime &nd by its abun- dant use achieves a wonderful com- plexion. Is there any foundation, then, to this distrust that many women feel as to the effect of soap on the facial skin? Let chemistry, which solves so many aristocratic and elegant type, such the olive ofl used hhhehl soap, or fl:: common animal fats may be employed No longer a mere fad, cocktall jack- as in the making of heavy laundr Soap. T‘;m grade of soap is determined b the type of fat or oil employed. Als the effect on the skin is traceable the quality of the ofl, as well as on other important fact. That is the wa in which the fats and the alkalis ar combined. No need to tell you how devastatin the action of the caustic lye in laundr; soaps where it touches the sensitiv skin. Now it sometimes happens i the poorer grades of soap that owim to some inaccuracy of formula em ployed, the lye and fats fail to com together in perfect unity, and becaus of this, an excess of one or the othe ingredient is present in the finishe soap product. When the excess is ¢ lye, it is spoken of as “free alkali” 1 is this free alkali that does so mucl damage to the complexion.
