WOMA Healthy and Wh BY In the present era, sometimes re- ferred s ma “the hard-bolled era,” books are full of discussions of all sorts of subjects once considered bsyond the pale of children’s minds. Many read modern fiction and discuss even the MARY -E -WALKER 38 §OW TO INDULGE A CHILD'S TASTE FOR READING IS A PROB- LEM FOR PARENTS TO SOLVE IN THE BEST WAY. most flagrant passages with perfect freedom, believing that thereby they are proving themselves “sophisticated.” It is a pity that this ancient word has 1o bear the brunt of so much ignorance about it. BEAUTY CHATS Elbow Treatments. If you have bad elbows, it’s your own fault. Anybody, however thin, can have smooth, young, well cared for looking elbows by using the following daily Sreatment: Once a day, at any convenient time. scrub your elbows with a hand scrub- bing brush, soap and hot water. If you have previously rubbed them with cream, so much the better, for the cream will have loosened the grime and dirt that rubs into them, and the hot water and soap will take off cream as well as dirt. Then rinse the elbows in hot water. If it is bed- time.rub the elbows carefully with a thick, oily cream—not cleansing cream, but a really good massage cream. goftens the hair, feeds it and makes it look nice for the next day. If it is not bedtime, rub the elbows with a quick-drying hand lotion. Any of the honey, almond or cucumber lo- tions will do. Rub the stuff on gener- ously, and when it is dry, powder the skin thickly. If you are going out for the evening, this is the only elbow treat- ment you need. The powder will ab- sorb the stickiness of the lotion, and the skin will look smooth. If you are wear- ing a dress, rub the powder well into the skin, for you will have a dress over your arms, and you do not want either the powder or the lotion to ruin your Bleeves. ‘There is no further mystery to elbow treatment than this. If you go with sleeveless dresses in the Summer, your elbows suffer, because they get a good 'deal of rubbing. But long-sleeved Win- tertime dresses do not save them much gnore, because the dye of the material rubs against LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. ‘This | and if you could break the habit now olesome Reading | It takes a philosopher and one versed lin"logic to become sophisticated, and | |to become a sophisticate takes long | vears and a mature mind. Ignorance | cannot give even a semblance of it to the really knowing person. And one of the beauties of youth is its free and unclogged mind. To keep it in its beauty does not mean to keep it in ignorance, but to help it preserve an appreciation of the niceties of life when it acquires know- ledge. Unfortunately. knowledge is no longer a gradual understanding of the mysteries of life, although in all other matters of learning revelation comes slowly and after much hard study. To- |day the most flagrant and distorted ideas are thrust upon the immature mind, totally unfitted to grapple with what it reads. It is, indeed. true that there is no virtue in ignorance, but distorted and garbled knowledge has little more to offer by way of advantage than has/ ignorance. Today the minds of young | people are cluttered up with a non- descript array of facts, half-truths and untruths. They have no way of sort- | ing the information, no metho of | knowing how to catalogue their smat- tering of mental acquisitions. Some day life will become real, a teacher, and then true sophistication may come. One way in which mothers can help to keep the minds of their children busy with healthy and wholesome read- ing is to have plenty of books of ab- sorbing interest at hand. The book | shops are crowded with literature that | is fine and which keeps minds think- ing. See that the books keep htly in advance of the ripening minds, for there is nothing more irritating to young folk than to read books that are “written down” to their supposed caliber. Let them immediately see that the books, while interesting, keep their mental eyes and ears alert. (Copyright, 1929.) DAILY DIET RECIPE MAITRE D'HOTEL.

Evidently you “When they accused me of breaking that bottle of jam I just didn't have the face to deny it.” (Copyright, SUB ROSA 1929.) BY MIMI Love's Accompaniments. Love is the age-old song which was struck up when the morning stars sang together. Since then it has been played with infinite variations and sung by a multitude of crimson throats. But it has never changed its key. For all the stcadfastness of the im- mortal love song there have been the variations which have saved love from monotony. Love may be one and the same ecxperience for every fond heart, but that heart will improvise in its own way according to its own mood. The love song of man has the ac- companiments which are supplicd by masculine imagination. When a man loves his mind magnifies the trifies of a girl's life, and it is in the micro- scopic attention to the trivialities of woman's life that man pleases her. A Romeo inflamed begins to pay ex- travagant attention to his beloved's dress, which usually passes with no other comment than that “It is all right, I suppose.” But the flaming heart enlightens the masculine eye until the lover sees a jewel-preciousness in ordi- nary bits of feminine toggery. Now he can see the real shade of the frock and the way it harmonizes with her complexion. Now he observes such a trifling thing as a ribbon and sees the pattern of the lace on her handker- chief. Love has opened eyes which once were blind to all things save the ob- vious ones. When it comes to the girl’s powers of observation manward, they do not need love to make her observe the tint of his necktie or the herringbone weave of his suit. A woman does that nat- urally, just to be sure that, if possible, the man is properly clad. But what the girl does begin to sec is the physical and mental possibilities of her “steady.” Give him a few “daily dozens” and he'll be a humdinger. Just let him have a chance in the world and he'll trim the bulls and bears in Wall Street and make the United States Senate take notice. Love magnifies the given traits of woman and man. It makes the lover take note of esthetic possibilities which cannot be seen by a theatrical manager on Broadway. It finds in the man, when seen by the girl, powers that could never be revealed by any intelligence tests, But_never mind, for that is love's countless variations. It sings its eternal song but lets us provide the wild ac- companiments. (Copyricht, 1920.) are always tearing the skin by pulling off the dried portions that would slough off soon if left alone. If you feel you cannot break the habit, ask the doctor to give you something to put on your lips that will be harmless if you get some in your mouth, but which will al- ways serve as a reminder that you are not going to do any more biting. Marie S.-Frank V.—If you keep your system cleared, your skin will improve. Pimples, oily skin and the start of blackheads may be traced to poor elim- 1nation, and the skin must assume the extra work of trying to throw off the poisons that would otherwise cause se- rious illness. Blackheads follow after pores have become enlarged from over- work, and the soiled head hardens over the secretions in the pores. Daily full baths help, as they keep the skin active over the body, and this somewhat re- lieves the pores of the face, but the sys- tem must be cared for before there will t the skin, so again they are 4l treated. You know how dirty your Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN. Sink or Swim? ‘When you are supporting a dependent husband your plight is not likely to be any too happy. Besides the human problem in your home there is an economic one. Eventually a woman in this position will ask herself: “If it is a question of sink or swim, shall I swim glone or sink.with him?” Naturally in such a situation the feelings of the wife for the husband will influence her de- cision quite as much as unem considerations. There i8 a difference, first of all, between the husband who is incapaci- tated for work, and the husband who can work but will not. In the former Anstance there is a moral responsibility which few women will shirk. in the Jatter instance there are extenuating circumstances at times. It has been said that women are dependent simply because they have been brought up to be. In other words, dependency may become a habit. A man who is supported without question or limit may form the habit of depend- ency just as easily as a woman. Every physically able person should be much improvement to the skin. also from a social point. Idlers inevitably come to grief. ‘This may sound a bit bizarre to some women, but many women know of or live with husbands who are not work- ing. In some cases the woman is the bread winner, in other instances a legacy has made the wife independ- ently wealthy, and the husband has “retired.” Wherever this has occurred trouble sets in without fail. Loss of respect for the husband quickly engenders ill feel- ing and trouble brews in quick order. Possibly one solution to this question is for the wife to keep her accounts separate when this seems judicious. If her husband requires assistance to help him over a difficult place, fhe may extend sufficient help to cover his essential needs. Or she may gauge his needs over a limited time, and setting such a ‘limit, loan or give him an amount, calculated to tide him over. | Where a man shows no inclination to raise himself from a temporary slump in circumstances, his wife must | decide from the outside whether she will support him for life, or whether she will shift for herself until her hus- work for a living.

They deaden all aspiration and lower the energy and the quality of it, so that nothing feels right or goes right. But the right thought is a power for good. It increases the circulation, strengthens the tone of the body, brightens the intelligence and lends speed and skill to the body. Thought influences conduct.

Before he came to Washington, if we are chronologically correct, he began a newspaper career cleaning out waste baskets, and any one familiar with newspaper waste baskets knows that it is a big order.
