WOMAN’S PAGE. Making Passageway Closets BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. THE EVENIN( Handwriting What It May Reveal. BY MILDRED MOCKABEE. @n B ek wwendon o G RDINARILY, vertical writing such 2s this is a sign of & re- strained, reserved nature. Upon examining individual letter forms in this case, we see that this general characteristic does not hold true. The many and wide loops used by this writer lend an entirely different thought. She probably expresses herself and her feelings easily, having little fear of what others may think. Although she | might not run entirely counter to public | opinion and accepted views, she would never allow herself to be restrained by inane fears and petty conventions. Per- haps she realizes that sometimes our eccentricities are the things which fre- quently endear us to our friends. She would never be an ‘“average person.” Hers is an outstanding nature and she is wise not to hide it. Apparently she has a keen under- standing of human nature. She un- ! doubtedly kncws herself weil, recogniz- ing her shortcomings and appreclating | her abilities. She might enjoy participation in the | better type of amateur theatricals.

OUR CHILDREN “Read to Me.” “Mother, read this book to me.” “Now son, I'm tired. You can read. Read it for yourself. I'd like to read | the paper tonight.” | “You can read the paper after I go | to bed. Go on, mom. Read to me.” | “All right. I suppose I must. Il be | glad when you get into the habit of reading to yourself. Bring it here.” | When do you suppose he is going to get into the habit of reading to him- self? Only when he discovers that no- body is going te read for him any more. When children are little, it is right, and necessary, to read to them. That | is the way we begin to interest them in books and reading. Even then there must be in the back of our heads the idea that we are teaching them to read books for themselves. We do what we can to get them to read along with us. Little children learn to read by lis- tening to you read the favorite story again and again and watching the lines on the page as you read. For this it is well to select a book that has clear type, open-spaced lines, many pictures Rith good captions and a beloved tale like Peter Rabbit. Snuggle the listener in the curve of | your arm, read along slowly. now and then put your finger on an important word like Peter, trace a phrase like “in the garden.” Try to mark the same one. day after day, and soon you'll see ! | a little finger pointing and hear a wee voice chanting “Peter Rabbit.” “in the garden.” Soon that little voice will be reading the captions under the pictures The child is reading. There must be no notice taken of this, more thar to say: “Right. First rate. Soon vou'll read the whole story for yoursel.” Keep accenting that | point, “Soon you'll read this story for yourself." Once the child has mastered the | reading of simple -stories—along about | the time he gets into the third year— give him books of his own. Do not ex- pect him to read the whole of them independently unless he is an unusual reader. Read with him. Let him read all the easy places, the conversation, the short paragraphs. and you do the closely written lines that tie the story together. You save the child fatigue that way, and so preserve his interest. Reading aloud is a fine evening pas- time. But the family ought to take turns, The children must be weaned away from listening to reading for themselves. When a 10-year-old child begs you to read to him and refuses to read for himself, one or two things have gone wrong. Either you have read to him too long, and he has formed the habit of listening rather than reading, or his eyes are bad and he needs the help of a skilled specialist. Reading is such a _precious habit that we must covet it for the children and do all in our power to cultivate Reading aloud is the beginning— ! reading to oneself the final accom- plishment. | (Copyright. 1931) Household Methods BY BETSY CALLISTER. Treatment of Linoleum. A careful housewife writes asking how to treat her new linoleum to keep it fresh and in good condition. The 1ight method of treatment de- pends to some extent on the kind of linoleum she has. The most important thing, though. is the same whatever kind it is. ‘That is, don't abuse ft. Don't drag heavy furniture across lino- Jeum without expecting to scar and mar_it. Don't allow it to go un-| brushed and then be surprised when you find it spotted and stained. Lino- leum repays care of that sort. If it is inlaid linoleum, the best method of treating it is to give it a coat of wax every once in a while, just as_you would a parquet floor. I know plenty of linoleums that are | not waxed. But they stay in much | better condition, are kept soft and smooth and usable much longer if they are waxed. Printed linoleum should be shellacked or varnished with transparent, colorless varnish when it is first laid, and often { enough thereafter to keep it glazed. This keeps moisture f:om reaching the real surface of the linoleum, and so protects it just as it does a wooden floor. The varnished surface is then washed, | colored Henrletta cloth. You've no idea | ing it. | be faced under. with clear water, often enough to keep it clean. The only trouble about the waxed finish to inlaid linoleum is that a waxed you can't possibly keep a kitchen floor clean without occasionally washing it. ‘Well, then, once in & while, remove the wax and put on a fresh coat. Perhaps just removing the wax will clean the linoleum sufficiently. If not, you can have it washed with clear, lukewarm water and thoroughly dried, and then rewaxed. The wax can be removed with a spe- cial remover that comes for the purpose or with turpentine. (Copyright, Motion pictures are to be shown at the conclusion of the church services conducted by Dr. D.

DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX DIA.R MISS DIX—Why is it considered ridiculous for men and women past middle age to want to marry? Having spent in all probability by far the greater part of their lives in their own homes in connubial contentment, ‘why should they not again seek companionship and the shelter of a home? Not only would widows and widowers be happler wed to congenial mates, but those in whose homes we have to stick around would also be happier to be rid of what must be to them an awful incubus, LONELY WIDOW. Answer: No sensible person thinks it ridiculous for a middle-aged or even elderly widow or widower to marry. On the contrary, every intelligent individual must consider it the wisest thing they can do, proyided they pick out suitable mates. It is only when a man in his 60s or 70s marries a lit- tle gold-digging flapper or an old woman marries a boy young encugh to be her grandson that they make themselves objects of derisfon. THI children of widows and widowers frequently object to their remar- rying because they do not want any one else put in their father's or mother’s place, or more probably because they do not want to see their par- ents’ money spent on any one but themselves. Nothing seems to them more absurd than that mother or father could form a romantic attachment or crave any love or society more satisfying than the occasional scraps of lukewarm aflection and companionship that they throw to him or her. They think that mother or father should be perfectly happy living with them in their homes, adapting themselves to their in-laws and watching the grandchildren gTow up. ‘This point of view on the subject is unsound from every angle, and there is a sort of poetic justice in the fact that the children's selfishness is a boom- erang that generally annihilates them. Manyason and daughter who have kept father from marrying some nice old maid who set her ca for him or pre- vented mother from marrying some eligible old widower live to regret the day. A REASON why it is wise for them to remarry is because as we grow older we need companionship more and more. We need somebody who be- longs to us. Somebody to it on the other side of the fireside from us. Some- body of our own age, with our own background, to whom we can say: Do you remember? No matter how much parents love their children nor how dutiful chil- dren are to their parents, there can never be a perfect companionship because there is between them the bar of age. The children have their own interests, their own amusements, their own friends that are different from father's and mother's, Their strong young feet don't want to slow down *~ the sober pace of age.

They were s0 near Farmer Brown's Boy that he could study them to_his heart's content.

Her aim is to preserve or revive her established forms. In physics this conservatism is epeti- in psy- chology. ‘“regression.” or a turning back to the days that are gone. For centuries the well known, but much misunderstood. disease called hysteria was a veritable no man's land for medicine. Since Freud (1892) hys- teria is known more and more as a psychological “regression”; an attempt to meet cobstacles by going into re- verse; a flight from the realities of an evervday ‘life to the unrealities of in-| fantilism. Hysteria is mistimed child- hood, at least in many cases. Another form of regression is known among _adults as “flying off the han- dle.” It is then that the bewildered and annoyed adult temporarily revives the common childhood propensity to indulge in “temper tantrums.” It's an innocent sort of behavior among chil- dren; a serfous symptom among adults. A still more subtle form is called pro- crastination. When one delays doing the disagreeable, one merely makes the childish gesture of pushing the dis- agreeable aside.
