WOMAN’S PAGE. Three Games Children Will Enjoy BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. ‘Requests have come for games to play at children’ irties. If the chllgren are very little, they enjoy familiar games, those that when suggested bring 8 delighted exclamation, “Oh, I know Liow to play that!” Many of the kinder- n and first-year school games are popular, and the old-timers, such as g\ul in corner, drop the handkerchief, unt the thimble, ‘going to Jerusalem, blind man's bluff, etc. Today T am tell- ing of others, not new, but so lung in nb‘lvlnn that they should be revived, as they are fun to play. Prench Roll.—Players are divided as follows: The baker, who heads a line| THE CHILD AT THE END OF THE ;%vu?«" LINE ]S THE FRENCH of players, each holding onto the child in front; the oven, the line of children just mentioned; the French roll, the player at the end of the oven line; tne mchnurk::e player remaining outside ven line. 0 Rules chaser is “out.” Or the purchaser may be tted to enter the line some- ‘where in the middle of it and become paré of the oven again. But if the purchaser catches the French roll be-| fore the roll reaches the baker, the| Prench roll becomes the purchaser and the purchaser becomes the baker. Th'i game continues either until only three players remain or until the time limit set for the game is ended. Odd or Even?—This is one of the most ancient of games. It Is very sim- ple but entertaining. A number of buttons, beans or any small articles are held concealed in the hand of a player, who asks another player if the number is odd or even. If she guesses right, the first player has to give the articles to the one who guesses, who in turn asks the same question, “Odd, or even?” t> another player. She must, of course, always pick up a different handful of buttons, beans or whatever they are, in order to mystify the one she questions. If the one who guesses gives an incor- rect answer, she pays a forfeit and the first player (the questioner) asks an- other player the same question, “Odd or even?” The number of articles must b:k ghflnl!d each time a question is asked. Contradictions.—Four players take hold of the corners of a handkerchief. One player commands them to do some- thing with the handkerchief. Just the opposite must be done. For instance. if they are told to hold fast, each | player must drop her corner of the | handkerchief. If told to drop the hand- kerchief, they must hold it tight. Who- ever does not act contrary to the com- mand must Fay a forfeit and also drop out and another player takes her place. (Copyright, 1931.) MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST. Grapefruit Juice.

The Good Taste girls were lounging about Nancy's living room. She was pouring tea. To outward appearances | she was intent upon her task, but in reality she was attempting to decide | just how she would word her little preachment. She wants to talk to the | girls about tolerance. She had heard them criticize other girls sharply, and when she had taken them to task they had said: “But, Mrs. Page, do you want us to lie? We don't think she is pretty or attractive. She doesn't know how to dress nor how to act. Should we retend that we think she is all right? and you told us we should not do tha Nancy was almost nonplussed. How could she teach the girls to be tolerant and to recognize that morally there are no whites and blacks, but just differemnt shades of gray? “I don't know anything that marks a person as being young and immature more quickly than snap judgment or cocksuredness. How do you know what is back of the poor clothes that a girl wears? Don't you suppose she would like to look like the rest of you? Maybe her father has almost failed in busi- ness. Just because a girl holds her fork | in her Jeft hand when she conveys food | speak, they soon tire of her end pass on. If you will, notice, the girl's who are DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Advice to Young Girls on How to Be Popular. EAR Miss Dix: I am one of the many young readers of your column, and I wish you would wrife more for us than you do, because we need it more than the old married folks, who have already made their final steps in life.. Tell us how to prepare for marriage, how to make the best husbends and wives, how boys and girls may attract each other, how to be popular. And discuss the many other problems that arise in our young minds. And right now, if you will write something about cheosing your vocation, I will appreciate it. A GIRL READER. Answer—Why, my child, T am always writing about those topics, because so many girls and boys write to me asking about how they can make a hit with the opposite sex and what qualities boys and girls like in each other, and so on. As to what makes boys and girls popular with each other, it is more a matter of personality than anything else. Having a way with you—and part of that is a gift of nature, and part of it is a matter of cultivation. Of course, if Providence has endowed a girl with what the old-fashioned novelists used to call ;‘lthp fatal gift of beauty,” she can travel a long way on her face, at least for a me. Men art naturally attracted to a good-looker, but if all that she has of | charm is in her show window, if she has no reserve goods on her shelves, so to beautiful but dumb have many admirers, but no steady. They catch the eye of every passing youth, but after he finds that they are dull company he forsakes them. Especially, as is so often the case, if the pretty girl is spoiled and arro- gant and selfish. Many a homely girl who is pleasant and amiable and easy to get along with is more popular than the beauty of her set and makes a better marriage in the end. So whether you are a good-looker or just merely passable, if you want to be popular, study and read and acquire an interesting line of. conversation. Every | woman 'sfould read over again at least once a week the story of Scheherezade, who kept her husband so enthralled by the stories she told him that he never could make up his mind to kill her, as he had his other wives. That lady should be the patron saint of all women, for she taught the great lesson that the way to | keep a man is to keep him interested. And her plan still works. | ‘Then, if you want to be popular, n how to do things. Any girl in these days who does not know how to swim and dance and play a good game of bridge and tennis and golf is absolutely sunk. Hostesses don't ask her and boys don't date her because she doesn't fit in anywhere. If you are the best dancer in your | crowd, you will never be a wallflower, and if you are good at games, you will never lack for a partner. | ‘Then, if you wish to be popular, be a good sport. Don't crow when you win. Don't whine when you lose. Don't sulk if you can't have everything your own way. Don't take your doll rags and go_home if you can't boss the show. And don't keep your feelings spread out all over the place. The cry-haby is anathema. Always be willing to do your part. Always be willing to fall in with other people’s pians. Let other people raise the tune occasionally. Share your beaux and your chocolate creams with other girls. So shall they introduce you to their boy friends and brothers. Don't be one of the little cats'with claws out for every other female. Don't be sniffy. Don't be snobbish. Don't try to high-hat people, Be friendly to boys and meet them halfway. but don't run after them. When a girl begins chasing a boy he commences beating it away from her, Never telephone a boy, asking him why he hasn't been to see you.. It makes him think he is too important and that you are dying for a few attentions from him. And no boy wants to go to zee a girl who is so hard up for dates that she has to hunt them up for herself. If you want a boy to be eager to take you out, make him think that you are willing to P but not anxious. And never telephone a boy during working hours. It may him his job and he will hate you for it. Never write to a boy until he has written to you, and then write th letter that s’ou wouldn’t object the chnmberm-x%a in boarding hot::el;%"h?: mother and sisters reading. en & boy takes you out, go easy on his pocket- book. And when a boy does wake you out, pretend to have a good time whether ynuygo or not. "It is the least run you can give him for the money he has spent on you. And, above all, if you want to be popular with boys, be natural. Don'l oanR'!ln. Den[':"-:flect high !gclely mbnenneu.

Why shculdn't a girl smoke in an office where men smoke? It is no longer considered gay and bold for 'a woman to smoke. It is commonplace. When word came that the Queen of England smoked cigarettes people in this country who had been rigidly op- posed to smoking for women gave way. I don't see what difference it makes whether the Queen of England smokes or not, but appar- ently I'm wrong. 1 suppose there & r e arguments against smoking | cigarettes at all. I | have never ‘seen any that were {)}X;ovetril m»}:e true, ougl ey DO Helen Woodward. doubt exist. But o if anybody really believes that smoking is bad, he ought to believe it about men as well as women. ‘There is something very restful about smoking & cigarette when you are work- ing. When I was working very hard and reached 5 o'clock in the afternoon | too tired to go home I found that smok- ing a couple of cigarettes rested me so that I had energy enough tv get up and g0 home. And when I was having di cult conferences with men wio wers smoking I would have been at a disad- vantage if I could not have smoked, too. If you have been typing steadily for |an hour and you can stop just to smoke one cigarette it will rest you. You know, in the old days women all sewed or embroidered or'knitted while the men smoked pipes. No, it wasn't just a sense of duty that made women embroider or knit; it was that they E:Y. a distinct nervous rellef from doing something with their hands. Well, the | embroidering and knitting age seems to have gone. You can buy things so cheaply that it doesn’t seem worth while to make them with your own han I have seen women wash dishes and smoke cigarettes at the same time, but I don't know how they manage it. I had a friend who for a year was living high in the mountains, remote from everything but a small ,village of very backward people. She had two children and she was doing all her own work. One morning she was cooking a soup that needed a lot of stirring. So she sat down in front of the stove with an amusing book in one hand, stirring the pot of soup with the other, end with a cigarette in her mouth. the soup was good, because I have eaten cther soup she made. She heard a small sound and looked up and saw the | windows were a solid mass of faces of | the villagers. They never seen a |woman smoking a cigarette. They had | never seen a woman laughing over a book. But to see a woman smoking a cigarette and laughing over a book and stirring her scup all at one time was too much for them. They were filled almost with awe. Goodness knows the world is full of abuses and jerrible troubles. Isn't it FOOD PROBLEMS BY SALLY MONROE. ‘Why Bavarian? Ask a number, of American cooks and housewives to answer honestly what | they know about Bavaria or what they first associate with the term “Bavarian” and the chances are that, aside from knowing that Bavaria was a country in | Europe, they know that it is the home of Bavarian cream. Though what Bavarla had orlginally | to do with it would be hard to tell. Apparently what makes a cream Bava rian is the fact that whipped cream is It only eggs are there, it is a sponge. Once you get the proportions. in iyour mind you can make a variety of dif- ferent sorts of Bavarian creams. You will find that some Bavarian creams do not have eggs, though all apparently must have whipped cream, We want you to have a personal intimate .acquaintance with Watch LIFE brighten as TEETH WHITEN 3 shades When you remove Bacterial-Mouth ULL teeth thatare ugly, yellow and decayed, and receding gums are enemies of beauty, health and happi- ness: They are tell-tale signs of a con- dition offensive to all of us—and inex- cusable.
