B— WOMEN Today’s Teens Girls Get Facial Care Rules Advice Given for Nail Polish, Emphasis on Youth. E ture as a part of their club program. These up-and-com- ing members of the younger gener- ation are interested in everything connected with & smart, attractive ersonal appearance, from correct ?nske-up to becoming clothes and the etiquette of nail varnishes. So today I am taking up a number of beauty questions for the benefit of these girls and others who have the same prob- lems. 1. The use and abuse of make-up is one of the most obvious of these. Is 15-year-old girl too young to paint artificial roses on her cheeks, powder her nose and use mascara? While this question comes to me again and again, I think that the consensus among her contemporaries is that a | girl in her early teens should not look madeup. The effect is too much like that achieved by small sister when she dons mother’s long skirts and high-heeled slippers. The chief charm of the teen-age girl is her genuine youthfulness, which the older woman | is doing her best to counterfeit. She | looks silly made up like a movie ptar, and does not deceive any one into thinking that the artificial coloring | is real. There is no reasonable ob- Jection to a little make-up for evening parties, because electric lights make one look pale. It is the girls of 14 or $0 wno write me by the scores about their enlarged pores and blackheads. The young girl's complexion is more delicate than the older woman's, and that is why the pores are more easily coarsened by deposits of powder and | rouge. Then, too, the oil glands in | the skin are often unsually active at 14 BY LOIS LEEDS. VERY now and then I receive letters from groups of girls who have included beauty cul- 'S FEATURES.

OR the busy business girl, re- turning to her little kitchen- ette after a long, hard day at the office, the prospect of pre- paring dinner is apt to bring on a distinct “sinking feeling.” This s, of course, natural, but with all the wealth of ready-prepared and canned foods at her command, is not altogether necessary. A delicious, nourishing meal can be conjured up in the twink- ling of an eye, with only a little ingenuity in the matter of added flavoring required to make it “dif- ferent” and tasty.

Kitchenette “ALL-IN-ONE” dishes also are a great time-saver—such as cas- serole concoctions of chicken with various vegetables—all canned, mixed with a good sauce and allowed to | heat through in the oven. Many of the canned soups now on the market may be used as sauces, as well as for a first course, and some of the tart jellies can be melted down to add: zest and flavor to a meat sauce.

Sketched | H_;)me Fails When Child Slaps Back Tender Age Makes Proper Attitude Sub- ject to Parents Action. BY ANGELO PATRI. “WHAT is the natter, darling? Tell mother.” “The mean old table hit me on the elbow. It hurts, it hurts.” “There, there, never mind. Go slap the old table. That's the way. Give it a good slap for hurting a nice little girl like that.” Jennie slapped the table leg smart- 1y, 50 smartly that it hurt her hand and she cried again “It hurts me, it hurts me, mother. You slap it for “There, you nasty old table, take that,” and mother slapped the table leg with hearty enthusiasm. “There now, Jennie, I think that old table | will think twice about hurting you an- other time.” “Yes, it will, the mean old thing. You whacked it good, didn't you, mother?” “I certainly did. Now we will put on our hats and go for a nice walk and we'll take Paddy?

The little group went into the park where many of the neighborhood’s children were playing. Jennic joined a group of friends and mother waited on a bench nearby. Soon there were shouts of discord. Jennie was screaming furiously and Paddy was barking his best. Mother ran to see what was happening. “She hurt me,” sobbed Jennie, “and I slapped her and she slapped me back, she did.” “Oh, I'm so0 sorry you hit Maryhelle, Jennie, That wasn't nice.

RETTY Summer dresses for in- | formal afternoon wear have a feminine quality which makes a universal appeal and some- | how manages to make them flattering to all ages and types of women. The model pictured in the sketch | is typical. A floral print, suitably | multicolored, is used. One sees the | style developed in many different | materials, the particular requirement | being a soft, drapeable quality, so that the ruffles will hang gracefully. In cottons the new anti-crease voiles are | a fashion of high importance this | year. The more so because of thei process they have been put through to make them stand up against daily | wear without constant pressing. | Printed silks and synthetics of the | soft type are being used, too.

Dix Says Have Good Mother Than Good Father—As Mother Is, So Children. CORRESPONDENT asks: A “Which is it better for a child to have, a superior father or a superior mother?” A supe- rior mother, of course. There is no arguing that point. Few fathers have much to do in shaping their children’s lives, but their mothers make them the kind of men and wom- en they turn out to be. Of course, every child is entitled to two good parents and it needs both of them in its development. But if it should have the misfortune to lose one of them by death or divorce it is better for the youngster to have the mother left than the father. In case one of the parents is a higher type of individual than the other and has more intelligence, a stronger char- acter, finer principles, it is more im- portant to the child that this one should be the mother than the father. It is better for children to have a | d good mother than a good father if they can’t have both. THERE are many reasons for this, the obvious one being that the mother has more contact with the child than the father. She is with it constantly in its plastic period and so she forms its pattern of life and stamps indelibly on it her own man- ners and morals and habits and prej- udiees and points of view. The father, whose association with his children is confined to a hurried good morning and a little desultory conversation be- fore early bed time in the evening, has little opportunity to impress his ideals on the youthful minds. ‘Thus, whatever the mother is the children are. If she is a lady her children will be ladies and gentlemen. If she has charming and gracious manners so Wwill her children have. If she is dignified and refined in speech and deportment, so will her children be. But if she is loud and vulgar and uncouth, if she yells at the top of her voice and wears clothes that scream at the beholder and tells smutty stories, her children will be young hoodlums, no matter how elegant and polished their father is. NO MAN can make ladies and gentlemen out of his children if their mother isn't a lady, but she can perform the trick even if their father regards good manners as the ear- marks of a sissy. ‘Whether children get an education lwhn) always urged them on. or not depends upon their mother. Their father may be a scholar en- titled to write half the letters of the alphabet after his name, but if mother is uncultured and has no interest in literate things it will be only a stray chick who will peck at the grains of learning. The others will agree that there is no use in wast- ing time studying when there are 80 many more amusing ways of enter- taining themselves. BUT if mother is determined that her children shall have an educa- tion they will be put through col- lege, no matter at what sacrifice to herself. Men are apt to say that the education that was good enough for them is good enough for their children, but millions of mothers say that their children shall not grow up as ignorant as they are, and they pay for their boys’ and girls’ college legrees by making over their old clothes, by skimping on the butter and the butchers’ meat and by offer- ing themselves up as willing sacrifices on the gas range and the washtub. Mothers make their children’s places in society. It is women who do the social climbing and pull their chil- dren up after them. It is women who see that their children go to the right schools and meet the right people and walk under the right awnings. ‘T IS mother who makes friends for her children, who opens doors for them, who launches them in careers and gets them married. Unless father is rich and has social prestige the family is socially sunk, but mother, somehow, gets her shoulders under the load and holds the children in their place in the sun, even if she has nothing but a.little credit at the grocery and grandmother’s old silver teapot. Nine times out of ten what children achieve in the world is due to their mother. An ambitious mother has driven more men to success than has any talent of their own, or any in- satiable yearning they themselves had for accomplishment. ITWASmot.hzrwhobenn to them in the cradle about great things they were going to in the world. It was mother wl set the goal before them. Moth DOROTHY DIX. /' § | to a good dinner.

Arguments Wasted on Obstinacy BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. ANCY was visiting a new ac- quaintance. The Griswold family had moved onto the street recently. They had two children, one a little girl of 6. Nancy and Lois both hoped that Janet would prove to be a good companion for Ann. But as Nancy sat in the Griswold home and listened to the conversation that ensued be- tween Janet and her mother she was not so sure. It all started over a book that Janet wanted to look at. It so hap- | | pened that the book was a valuable one. Mrs. Griswold asked Janet to put it down. Janet made no move to do so. Plainly indicating her un- willingness to make a scene, Mrs. Gris- wold told the child why the book should be put down. That led into an argument which waxed more and more bitter and long-winded. Finally Mrs. Griswold spoke up sharply and Janet answered her back just as sharply. The sceen finally ended with Janet going upstairs dragged by the hand and protesting loudly that “she would not go, that she hated her mother, that she would take all the books she wanted, so there.” Mrs. Griswold came downstairs and apologized. Nancy felt that their acquaintance was too slight to allow her to talk plainly to the mother. | Had she done so she would have said, | “I think you made the mistake of discussing the situation at too great length. I don't force obedience on my children, but there are times when I say “Do this” and they do it. They know that arguing is not going to get them anywhere. If I am noisy and argumentative it is only natural that my children should answer me in kind. There is a time when de- cisive action, quiet but positive, is needed. In my opinion this was one of the times. I would have had another book ready, or I would have suggested some other activity quite removed from books. And I would have taken the book quietly, and quite as a matter of course, out of the child’s hands. At least, that's the way I manage my children.” (Copyright. 1935.)

BARTON, M. D. N A large city recently 10,000 youngsters were home from school as & result of illness, of which 90 per cent was the common cold. The weather had not been so cold, but wet and raw, showing that dampness is at least one factor in causing colds. That there are other factors— | overeating, overheating, exposure—is also agreed, but no one has yet been | able to get the special cause of cold, and so there is no special or specific treatment. Dr. P. H. Long, Baltimore, in the | Michigan State Medical Society Jour- nal states that as there is no specific remedy for the treatment of colds, his observations have led him to be- lieve that the right treatment is to put the patient to bed at once and make him remain there for two or three days. A mild laxative is of value, and the distressing symptoms should be | treated as they appear. | In fact, if the patient is put to bed | at once and the intestines kept active many cases are arrested in time that might go on to bronchitis, broncho- pneumonia or even pneumonia. As you know, nearly everybody has a “sure cure” for a cold which he rec- ommends to sufferers. Dr. Long points out that all the dif- ferent forms of treatment now given | for colds—hardening exercises, vita- | min feeding, ultra violet rays, vac- cines—show only to well that there is | no “special” cure; that what might seem to help one case, is of no value in_another. Dr. Long states finally, “At present the only prophylaxis (prevention) against colds is avoiding coming in contact with infected persons. There is no other method.” While most physicians will with Dr. Long in putting the patient to bed for two or three days as the best treatment, many know from ex- perience that eating less of certain foods and more of others during an epidemic of colds has prevented many colds and lessened the severity of others. Forbidden foods are table salt, salted butter, smoked meats and fish, sardines, herring, pickles, candies, hot biscuits, highly seasoned sauces. Foods permitted are small amounts of meat, eggs and cereals, large amounts of milk, unsalted butter, veg- etables, salads, fruits (fresh or dried). (Copyright. 1935.)

Child Needs Chance for Initiative BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. 'HE solicitous mother of one child finds it difficult to manufacture the opportunities to offer the child practice in independence. With only one child to dress, feed and care for, | the mother is inclined to do every- | thing for the child and be annoyed when the child wants to do for him- self. The mother of several children has exactly the opposite problem. She is inclined to force independence on the child too early. And the results lnd; the dissatisfactions of too early inde- pendence may be as unhappy as of too little. ‘When the child meets new situations he should enjoy a measure of success with them. He should be able to button some of the buttons, get his clothes off, if not get all of them on, | be able to carry some dishes, find some { objects for which he has been sent. In a word, his efforts toward inde- pendent doing must have the reward of success so that he is pleased with himself and wants more opportunities for being a “big” boy, a “helpful” boy, a “smart” boy. In such ways we lead & child toward independence gradually and pleasurably. | Some children (not all, for some children never get too much of them) wilt under early responsibilities be- cause they are still too young to be successful in their ventures. We cannot make & bold adventurer out of a little the responsibility of getting himself to school safely, he has too many un- pleasant and terrifying experiences with traffic, he becomes a coward.

Mother said to slap the things that hurt so Jennie followed that plan to the great astonishment and dismay of all concerned. Slaps are to be saved for emer- gency, and used only on the children too young to learn to avoid danger in any other way. Once a child reaches | the stage of reflective memory, where he associates cause and consequence, slapping is out. Even slapping the table is out.
