C—4 Facts and Fancies < WOMEN’S FEATURES. Lasting Gifts Inspire Sweet Girl Graduate When Her Day Arrives Youth, Poised for Exploration in New Fields, Finds Much Pleasure in’ Souvenirs of Sheltered Life. BY BETSY CASWELL. OR just a few days the Spring F and June brides step graciously out of the spotlight to make way for that other seasonal luminary—the sweet girl grad- uate. Upon her is focused the attention of family and friends; doting aunts, uncles and godparents rack their brains and stretch their purses to provide her with lovely and suit- able gifts. After all, her gradua- tion marks the close of one phase of her life, and the beginning of the great “grown- up” era—it is only fitting that the occasion should receive proper commemo- ration in some tangible and last- ing form. We adults may smile at the eager, girlish voice of the valedictorian, im- pressing us anew with the fact that “beyond the Alps lies Italy”"—but in reality that old stand-by in oratory Betsy Caswell. * embodies for the speaker just as awe-1 inspiring a truth as it did in the be- ginning. Our girls and our boys are poised for explorations into new fields of human relationships and endeavor— with the great mountain range of inexperience and immature judgment forming & barrier over which they must climb with care and thoughtful- | ness. Therefore, the day on which they finish the old, sheltered life and step out into the world to make places for themselves is really a very momen- tous one, and should be marked by a lasting souvenir of some kind. * ok X X ‘HERE are, of course, all sorts of gifts that may be presented to the diploma winner. Attractively boxed sets of cosmetics, delicate perfumes, flowers, lingerie and unusual acces- sories for sports and evening—all these fall within the range of the appro- priate and charming. However, for the really fond parent or relative who wishes to make the gift of lasting value and use, jewelry springs imme- diately into first place. Shops are realizing this, and some of the larger concerns are making a speciality of jeweled gadgets for the young girl. These are not expensive, yet provide a delightful medium in which to express adult pride and affec- tion. First and foremost for most girls comes a diamond wrist watch. Hav- ing gone through school with a hard- boiled timepiece which was able to endure the rigors of hockey and bas- ket ball without faltering a tick, the young lady now yearns for a truly feminine and beautiful bauble. The newest ones which I have seen, at remarkably low price, are round in shape, about the size of a dime, with clear, easy-to-read faces. These are of either white gold or platinum, and are usually mounted on metallic cord | bracelets. Sometimes there are dia- monds completely encircling the dial— other watches have simply bands ol baguette diamonds fastening them to the bracelet. Two watches on a slightly more elaborate scale which delighted me were also round, with a rim of dia- monds, and the bracelet of one, of metal links, had diamonds set between each link. The other one had a bracelet of two flexible metal cords, set entirely with diamonds. * kX FOR the outdoor type of girl, who spends most of her time in sports clothes and cares little for feminine fripperies, there are stunning tiny gold baguette watches, mounted on leather thong bradelets, with gold fastening and loops. The round shape also appears in these watches, too, and it is well to keep your eye on this trend in watch styles, for it seems to be going over in a big way among the women who are right up to the minute on the newest things. Clips, pins and novelty bracelets are running the whole gamut of the enimal kingdom, this year. I hap- pened to see in one shop two clips featuring the familiar forms of two famous comic strip animal charac- ters, done in black enamel, baguette diamonds and pearls. They would make a most welcome gift “for the girl who has everything,” either singly or in the original pair. There are pins of semi-precious Stones—which are becoming more and more popular for day wear, as they are colorful and relatively inex- remlve—mnde in the shape of dogs, love-] owls, ducks, chickens, | turtles, and so on. Ome elephant | made of a stone called Tiger's Eye particularly charmed me—its queer, tawny color would harmonize so per- fectly with brown and white sports accessories. * K ok % ND the charm bracelets! Every girl loves these, and somehow she can never have too many of them to suit her. A new bit of good-luck symbol in gold or enamel is fallen upon with shrieks of delight, and a strange-looking animal or bird is the signal for dispensing with all that | pocket money that has been burn- ing holes in her purse. The bracelet itself is usually a | heavily-linked chain of gold, and the | charms are either of solid gold. or of brightly colored enamel—or some- | times carved from semi-precious stones, like the three little pigs I saw | fashioned of pink coral. Starting | such a bracelet is a great solution to the donor’s problem, for more charms may be added on subsequent birthdays and Christmases for some time to come! Bracelets of carved semi-precious stones, combined with other stones in contrasting shape and color, are also delightful graduation gifts—a number of them, practically forming a cuff is considered “the top” by the younger set at present. | * o oxox | STAR sapphire rings, exquisitely set | in diamonds are charming for the } voung girl, if the price does not have | to be too closely considered.

You may distinguish lamb from mutton by the pinkish tinge and creamy fat. Mutton has a darker color and the outer skin is slightly yellow and has a dry appearance. Some one asked me the other day why we could not get mutton in this country of as good a quality as in England. The reason is that in this | country most of the mutton comes from old sheep.

In the Winter- time you sometimes see on & restau- rant menu or in the butcher shop the sign “hot house lamb.” This comes from young lambs which are especial- ly fed during the Wintertime. While many housewives feel that small legs are better than the large legs, there really is no difference in the quality of the small or large legs of lamb, if young. Lamb, like beef, needs a hot fire as a start for its cookery. After the meat is well browned the temperature may be lowered. Personally I like lamb well cooked throughout. Thirty to thirty-five minutes to the pound is usually allowed for both mutton and lamb after the initial searing of 20 minutes in a hot oven. No water should be put in with the roast and the pan should be left uncovered. Lamb Chops, Mushrooms. Broil “Prenched” lamb chops. In the meantime chop one can of mush- rooms, drained; mix to a paste with a very little thick cream sauce. Spread the chops with this mixture, dip in beaten egg, then crumbs and fry in deep fat, 380 degrees Fahren- heit, until golden brown. Serve at once.

Say do.”” I believe that | we can use a sharp “Don’t” to good advantage at times, so here are a few that may be useful to us who deal with children, big and little. | Don't slap children. It irritates | them and increases the difficulty you are trying to correct. A slap is re- served for emergencies and these are in their nature rare. Don’t discuss children’s failings with others. Keep your child’s secret as you would want yours kept. A child loses faith in the one who talks about him behind his back, gossips about it, or complains about him to people who really do not care. Don't blow hot and cold. Keep still until you have a definite opinion and then express it once for all. What is right today ought to be right tomor- row, or the reverse. Only on rare occasions, the exceptions that are always present in any of life’s activi- ties, is there justification for a change of standards. children’s actions, one way or another. ‘They are never as good as you think, never as bad. They are growing and consequently changing personalities. If all their manifestations are given first importance there can be mno standards set in their minds as to what is important and what is not. On that little point hinges a great part of character growth. Don't frighten children. Fear never strengthened a human soul yet. Fear never corrected an error. Fear is a poison that paralyzes the body and the mind and checks growth. Education and training should be directed toward | encouraging boldness, initiative, exper- iment The brave heart wins.

He can be happy only in his child way and when you impose your- self upon him in any way you lessen to a degree proportionate his chances enjoy his childhood. He will become a stronger adult if you allow it to him. Don't tell a child to be noble and be ignoble yourself, for what you are he will most certainly be and you have no chance to hide your true self from him. He knows what you think, he knows what you believe, he knows what you read, what you eat and drink and wear.

The boric acid solution is made by dissolving a heaping teaspoonful of the boric acid powder in a pint of boil- ing water. This is allowed to cool be- fore using. If these simple treatments do not clear up the rash, consult a doctor. To get rid of blackheads it is necessary to wash the face thor- ounghly with warm water and soap twice a day.

Dorothy Too-Strict Parent father of several children whom I am bringing up most strictly. My problem is my . oldest daughter. She is not yet 17 nor out of high school. She has always been a good girl, honest and conscientious, taking no interest in dancing and movies, which I have forbidden and against which my other children have rebelled. However, of late she has become interested in a young man who comes to see her. I do not approve of this friendship, though she claims she is not serious, and I have refused to let him come into my home. I have not forbidden her to see him, though I am on the point of doing so. All the schoolgirls in our community have boy friends and dates, but I want her to be dif- ferent and have a career first. Do you think I am right? ONE OF OLD STOCK. Answer: No. I think you are just as wrong as wrong can be in your at- titude toward your children, and that if you persist in it you will drive them into doing the very things that you | are trying to guard against. BELIEVE absolutely in parents ex- ercising authority over their chil- dren and that children should be taught obedience. I think it is a ter- rible thing for fathers and mothers to let their children run wild, to come and go as they please, to have no re- strictions whatever put upon their iib- erties and to be subject to no discip- line. It makes for anarchy in the in- dividual, just as the lack of all law and order would in a nation. Chil- dren lack the knowledge and the ex- perience to decide many questions for themselves and it is their parents’ | duty to guide and protect them. | But this does not give the parents the right to tyrannize over their chil- dren and to deprive them of all per- | sonal liberty, nor does it give the par- ents the right to decide every question in the child’s life, nor to shut it off from the joys of youth. IT SEEMS to me that this is the mis- take you are making. Like so | many other parents, you have listened | to such lurid stories about the orgies | of modern youth that you have got panicky on the subject and you are | trying to protect your youngsters against the dangers of the world by | keeping them under lock and key. Be- lieve me the boys and girls of today are not half as red as they are paint- ed. In fact, I doubt if they are any worse than they were in your day and my day. And, anyway, as Mr. Cleveland re- marked, “It is a condition and not a | theory that confronts us.” The world has changed, and especially has the status of children changed, and you | simply cannot dominate them now as your father probably dominated you. You have to use tact and diplomacy now instead of the rod, after they are babies and have ceased to be afraid of you. Parents used to hold over | their children’s heads the threat that ! they would turn them out of doors if they didn't do exactly as they were told, but that has lost its terror over the youngster who can hustle out and get himself a job, and would rather be on his own, anyway. CHILDREN can still be ruled by an appeal to their reason, but you have got to give them a square deal and recognize their side of the ques- tion, too. And you are not doing that when you refuse to let your daughter have a nice boy friend and go to decent parties and clean movies with him. You are cutting her off from association with the boys and girls of her own age and isolating her when you don’t let her go about as the other youngsters do. A few years of that and you will doom her to be an old maid. because it is the easiest thing in the world for a girl to get stranded. | Get her out of her set and she is done | for socially. Don’t deceive yourself into thinking | that when you forbid your children to do things that they are not doing | have your children confide in you, tell you their plans, tell you about where | | have them deceive you and do things | It is going to take its pleasure.

And so the argument goes. And it seems to me that in families of moderate means the wife does work longer hours than the husband, and that her work is harder because it lacks the variety the man has and the social contacts that .somehow lighten the day's labor. But among the rich the husband does the harder work. Many wealthy men who have on their shoulders the heavy responsi- bilities of big enterprises toil harder than any slave, while their wives have no labor whatever to perform.

Certainly your hus- band’s love and your home mean more to you than a smoke. So it is just a matter of common sense to choose the thing that will do you the most good and is most for your happiness Everything has to be bought at a price, and you are lucky that the success of your marriage costs no more than a cigarette.
