After the long vacation, children should go back in the best physical condi- tion from long hours of activity in the sun. Of course, to be physically fit, all defects such as eye- strain, diseased tonsils and broken- down teeth should be corrected. If parents would undertake the re- sponsibility of see- ing that every child starting his school ~career is ready in this re- spect, school days couMd be for teachers and pupils. A child handicapped in any physical way can- not work with oth- er children on an equal basis. A bad start will often de- prive him of con- fidence in his own ability e£nd the consequences may reach through life. In practically all schools there is now a form of medical examination, Teports of which are sent home to pa- ents and upon which they should take any action neccesary. Of ceurse, in an ideal state cuch an examination snould be unnecassary—or it might be if all children were examined carefully before they go to school. Routine ex- aminations by the tcachers and school nurses daily, in order to send home any child who has any sympt s of illness, prevent the spread of epidemics such £s used to be common, however. The school which once was concerned only with driving into the conscious- ness of children the rudiments of knowledze. has found it must concern itcelf with the ph condition of the child. Once a school was content to have a more or less well-warmed bullding. furnished with de. and Now it must concern itself with 1 , and the ventilation, as well as with the heating. and with the adjustment of the height and size of Edith M.

(2) How can I keep it nice and light? (3) I am 15 vears old, 5 feet.1 inch tall and weigh 110 pounds. Is my weight correct for my age and height? FAITH H. Answer.—Coiffures that show one or both ears are having & vogue just now among girls with long hair, as well a among the bobbed. Showing the esr: - i wide faces or to the very plump, round ones, but it gives a chic effect to the girl or woman whose face is oval or rather long. Part the hair a little to- ward the right of the center. Wave the hair in large, loose waves on the right side so that there is one dip over the temple. A small wisp of hair at the beginning of the part may be arranged in two or three flat curls on the brow. ‘The ends of the hair are pushed be- hind the ear and a strand curled up- ward over the lobe of the ear. Wave 1 left-hand section in larg Then comb at r.ght zne and push forward so tnat the first wave of the hair falls over the left side of the forehead to the eyebrow Tet the waves on the sides ripple over the top of the ear, leaving the lobe ex- posed to view. Wave the back hair di- agonally, It may be worn cciled, twisted or in a fan-shaped bun at the nape of the neck. If the hair is bobbed it may be in small curls or turned under and Tastened with & berrette, with a hair net pinned securely to hoid the short ends in place. Needless to say, the ears should be well formed and dainty. (2) Shampoo vour hair with a mild liquid soap. Rinse thoroughly and as a final rinse the following will be suitable: Two tablespoonfuls peroxide; two tablespoonfuls strained lemon juice, one tablespoonful aqua ammonia, ‘mixed with one quart of tepid water. Apply the rinse evenly over the hair and leave it on from five to seven minutes, then rinse in clear, tepid water. Dry_ the hair between warm towels.

At first, when groups of children were examined in this country, it was | found that many from well-to-do fam- ilfes were suffering from undernourish- | ment. This was sometimes accounted for by poor choice of food and some- | times by the bad habit of eating tco | little in’ the haste to get Lack to play. Nutrition classes were started in some schools, to_ stimulate these children to | get back to normal. Milk was fur- nished to them in midmorning and| afternoon and they were taught the importance of food Now, in many school systems, there is a department | of health education, which sees that all | children are taught the rudiments of; nutrition. | The school iunch has assumed a new | | importance.

A good many schools now | have well organized iunch rooms, often | under the direction of a dietician or | supervised by the home economics de- | partment.

The pistil now rises and is ready for the second guest who brings fresh pollen. Because this flower is so beloved and is to be found in late October, it is becoming scarce. It is the wish of all wild flowers lovers that she be left to mature her little hairy seed children. The reason that the flower is found in new locations is because her seeds are carried afar by the winds and other agents. If they are fortunate and drop upon moist soil, they cling there, send- ing down tiny root: It was Bryant who said of this flower: “Thou waitest late, and com’st alone | s are bare and birds have And frosts and shortening days protend Tae aged year is near his end.” (Copyrisht, 1932.)

Warned of Older Wives That Important First Year of Marriage \DorothyDix| HE first year of married life is anything but & period of sweetness and romance. It is a time of disillusion and bickering and mis- understanding and tears and bitterness, in which two people of different sexes, different blood, reared in a different enviroament and with different tastes and habits, are going through the of trying to adjust themselves to each other. cordeal Yet the success or failure of every marriage depends upon this first year of their married life. It is like the first year of a baby’s life. It sets the pattern of their whole future. It settles who is going to be the boss of the family. It determines their attitude toward each other. It fixes the domestic code by which they live. It even decides their financial prosperity. A GROUP cf friends was discussing this subject the other day and the mistakes they blundered into making, and the question was finally ‘What would you do if you had your married life to live over “If T had my married life to live over again,” sald one woman, “I would lie down on the floor and kick and howl for what I wanted until I got it. When John and I got married I had the fcolish idea that if a man loves a weman he will always be looking out for her happiness and pleasure, and that he will consider her in every way and that he will delight in lavishing upon her everything he can possibly afford to give her. “So, s I adored John and wanted to be a model wife, I made no demands upon him. If he didn’t offer to take me places I stayed at home, no matter how badly I wanted to go. If he didn'c suggest I get a new dress I went shabby. If he didn't remember an anniversary I shed a secret tear over his forgetfulness. but I never reminded him of his omis- sion. The result has been that John has been a selfish, indifferent “IF I had to live my married life over again,” sald the second woman, “I would he more understanding. Tcm and I married on a shoe- string, and I know now that our first year of married life was a nightmare of work and worry and debts and anxieties to him. But I was gay and pleasure-loving, and had always been accustomed to having a lot of men take me abcut and give me good times, and I couldn't understand why I had to settle down when I got married and stay at home. “The result was that we quarreled and said bitter things to each other which we didn’'t mean, but that left wounds that have never healed. Oh, I can tell you that if I were a bride now I would meet an overworked husband when he came home at night with a cup of hot broth and a soft pillow instead ef an invitation to a night club, or a million questions about what he has done all day. and I would put myself in his place and realize that I weuldn't feel like being a little ray of sunshine when I had a m:te coming due in the bank that I didn't know how I was going to meet."” ¢]F. I had my married life to live over again,” said the third woman, “I would develop my funnybone instcad of my tear ducts. I'd laugh at a lot cf things in my husband that I used to cry over, and I would jolly him into doing things instead of trying to nag him into doing them. And I wouldn't take my husband so seriously. “Why, it is no trouble at all to manage a husband if you will take him on the funny side, as the English say, and, if ycu are jolly and easy to get along with, it doesn't make any difference whether you get fat and 50 or not.” DOROTHY DIX.

POST: Some friends of mine are set in their opinions that iced bev- erages may not be stirred.| ‘The other day a glass of iced ccflee was served to me with a quarter of an inch of white sugar settled at the bot- tom of the glass, then a wide section of clear black coffee and then a thick layer of whipped cream on top. This was served in regular waier glasses, with no iced-tea spoons and no| saucer under the glass. What was I to do? Drink solid cream, then a layer of bitter coffee and then | come to solid sugar as a finish? I used a bouillon spoor fo miv it up.| I will admit I was embarrassed by the | sound it made, especially since [ was the only one who did this. And then I was still more embarrassed aboui what to do with the spoon when I had | finished stirring. Should I nave dipped it into the glass and then placed it in the bouillon, which was lellicd an< |had a silver stand, but no saucer, or should I have put it on my butter plate? Anyway, I wished I was all alone and could enjoy my coffze!” Answer—The difference between your | behavior and mine is that I would, I think, have flaunted my bouillon spocn, in the hope that a fresh one would| be brought me for my bouillon—-whic | had it only been hot, would have sin plified everything. At all events, I don know what else you could have done | since layered coffee sounds very un- | appetizing. The proper way to serve iced coffee is with plain cream and sugar, or, as many like it, with cold | milk, sugar and whipped cream, small | plates under the glasses on which to put spoons after they are used for| stirring! Tea, if made merely the | base of a punch, with a variety cf | sweetened fruit juices, mint leaves and | other flavors all thoroughly mixed, is| | served without spoons. ~ Iced tea’ is often served mixed—with spoons or | without—but is best served plain with {ice in glasses.

That’s what I call saving money on stockings.” ckings | . e u Warli THE Lux Stocking Marathon is making a big hit with clever women who want to save money. Why not try it—see who can get the highest score? Maybe you can beat this record —34 days without a run. Wear one pair of stockings day after day and wash them every night the Lux way. You'll be amazed to find how long they’ll go without a single run. Lux cuts down stocking runs because it saves stocking elasticity—the qual- ity that makes stockings wear. New silk is elastic—it gives under strain— stretches and springs back into shape. But if you wash away elasticity with harsh soaps or cake-soap rubbing— the lifeless threads too often break at the least strain. Then runs start. The LUX way to cut down stocking runs ash_this 2-minute way: One teaspoon of Lux for each pair. Add lukewarm water to Lux, squeeze through stockings, rinse. Avoid ordinary soaps—cakes, powders, chips. These often contain harmful alkali. Lux has no harmful alkali. Anything safe in water is safe in Lux. A s % Try Lux FREE!
