B—12 s¥¥ WOMEN’'S FEATURES. Thought Valid Basis For Rights | = Is Essentialg Foolish Desire Must Be Banished in < Child’s Life. BY ANGELO PATRL AR BOYS AND GIRLS: You| sometimes have a queer notion | that whatever a grown-up person | does vou have the right to do. If| vaur mother uses lipstick you have the right to do so. II Aunt Helen smokes you, too, can smoke. You | have a right to if she does. For example, Mrs. Howdy's children can stay out as long as, they like, 80 vou have the right to stay out as long as you like aiso, and your mother is old fashioned (a dread- ful charge), and no sport (a worse | charge), 1n your notion of things. | Now just think this over. What | de vou mean by ‘right”? What | another | erson, one whose life andi‘ behavior is far different from vours, does becomes lawful and Tight for vou to do because that pérson did it? Would it be right | for vou to lie and steal agd kill hecause another did so? No? Then you choose which action of an- other's is right for you? And you pick on those you would like most tq do? Then it is not right that| bethers you, is it? It is desire and appetite and ambition tu Be grown- ups and approved as such, isn’t it? Or do you mean you have a right | ~under the law? Impossible. The Jaw, if there were one, would not grant a child the privileges of age and maturity because they would nét be helpful to him in the least. | A® child can no more adopt the | habits of an older person than he cdn adopt his clothes. Neither fit. That is the secret of the whole business. It is not fitting that a child do what a grown-up person does because a grown-up person dges it. There must be a better rdason than that. The action must belong to the child himself or it will be just an imitative action, unfitting, and possibly harmful. Take smoking- CA grown-up person smokes to rast his weary nerves. Whoever hears of a child with weary nerves? A’ healthy child shoula not need | or have sedatives. If a child needs | t#em he is ill and should have the attention of a good physician. A véung person’s nerves are alert, keen, quick to register passing im- pfessions, feelings and responses. That nervous power is the essence of youth, and any young person who lessens it by ihe slightest de- | gree cheats himself out of riches untold, out of power that should be his in days to come. JA voung girl has the color and sparkle of youth., Her lips are| brightly colored, the right shade | far her skin and hair. Nature kpows best every time. What is a beautician but an imitator of na-| tyre? As age creeps upon a wom- | ap her color fades, the light leaves her eves, the pink fades from her cheeks. The rouge and the lip- sfick are her effort to hold to the waning beauty of youth. She is | 1Ena|mg, and poorly, the glory of glrihood. The girl who paints her f4ce and rouges her lips and does | things to her eyes imitates the imi- tation of herself. If that is not too sflly T don’t know what silliness i4, and 1 think I have seen enough n( it to be well acquainted. | Children have rights They have | the right to health, to good homes, | ta the best education, to affection | and protection. But these “rights” to foolishness do not exist. You are using the wrong word, chil- dren. It ought to be “wants.” | Rights are different. T will defend | veur rights as long as I live, but | veur wants—well, I will look at | them with a cool and far-seeing eye. Cordially vours, ANGELO PATRI, Beauty Hint. ‘Park glasses for suntanning, and gports that bring you into the noon- day glare, are a splendid solution to save the eyes, both from strain | and from wrinkles caused by £quinting. In the last vear or two dark glasses have Jefinitely entered | the style picture, and it is smarter | to wear them than not. Cook’sCorner BY MRS. ALEXANDER GEORGE.

OR tennis, or riding a bicycle, or any of the active, out- door things you should be | doing in the Summer time, this outfit is indispensable. Sev- eral seasons ago a famous tennis | star brought shorts back from Eu- rope, where she nad been win-| ning a great many championship | games. We don’'t know whether the shorts had anything to do with her winning or not, but certainly it has been proved that they are the most practical garment for ac-| tive sports we've found. They bave developed a great deal in point of style from those first shorts, which were straight and | fitted none too good. You see| these have a nicely fitted yoke and invert pleats for comfort as well as chic. . 5 The coat is really a beauty. Don it after the game, or wear it en route in the car. Its nicely tai-| lored and fitted lines, roll collar | and widely spaced buttons distin- | guish it from the clumsy, ill-fitting | affairs which marred the Summer | landscape when play suits first be- | came the fashion. And as one eco- nomical soul to another, we think it would look extremely well made of white tussore or linén and worn over Summer dresses Of course, this sort of thing must be washed very often, and must be made of 2 durable material. Cham- bray, gabardine, pique, cotton shantung or shirting are all excel- lent materials for this outfit. The new vellow shades are gay and nice for sports things, and the rich, winey Dubonnet would make a b “different” looking costume. e sportswoman always has doz- ens of attractive halters at her dis- vary the monotony by changing this accessory.

This nappened be cause the babies nad not had the right food, and was indicative of a serious con-% dition in the community for, naturally, every ailing case that comes to the nospital has its uni ecognized counterpart many times over ouiside, Probably this situation is ve-| peated in many other cities where | many people have been out of work for a long ume, and their families have been forced to go on | short rations. It can happen, how- | ever, where there is plenty of food | except vegetables and fruits. Or| where people do not choose to eat enough vegetables and fruits. It} can happen to babies who have an 2bundance of milk to drink, but are not given any orange or toma- 1o juice—even though the diet may be rich in cod livgr oil and cereals. | Betsy Caswell ok ok CURVY is directly due to the | lack of one particular food sub- stance—vitamin C—which we ob- tain chiefly from vegetables and fruits. People who eat plenty of these never get scurvy, and the baby whose diet includes plenty of orauge juice or tomato juice every day will never have it. Any-| body, voung or old, who goes for; a long time suffering a lack of this vitamin will develop .-('urvy—prob-i ably in a mild form, at first, that, | it ‘the diet is persi in, finally becomes acute and very serious. ‘ The question arises very nat- | urally—why didn't our grand-| | mothers and grandfathers have scurvy when they were little, for in those days oranges w | Tuxury that they were i | the family as Christmas presents? And lots of people thought toma- toes poisonous! For this very rea- son many ple have been prone | to regard the doctors’ insistence on including orange juice and tomato juice in the babies’ diet as just an- other medical fad. o x NL’TRmONISTS of the bureau answer the question thus: Babies that live on their moth- er's milk are not apt to have scur- vy, for two reasons—the mother’s milk contains vitamin C, if the mother’s diet has been a-proper one, and the baby gets the milk before any vitamin value may be lost. In the old days a bottle-fed baby was pretty much of a dis-| grace to its mother, for it showed | mother up as not being able to perform her maternal duty proper- ly—and at that time mothers were expected to do a good job in this respect for a long period of time. Dorothy RS. MARRIED WOMAN, do you ever check up on yourself to see what sort of wife you are making? Are you an asset or a liability to your hushand? When he balances his accounts with life, does he rate | marrying you as the hest invest. ment that he ever made and the | cne that pays the nighest percent- age in happiness and well being, or does he charge vou off as a total loss and wonder how he could have been stupid enough to put his all in such a bad bargain?

Do you tell him +how handsome he is and that you burn joss sticks to Lady Luck every day for having bestowed him upon you? OR DO you think that he will take it for granted that you still love him as long as you keep away from Reno, and that it is a wife's sacred duty to xeep her hus- band humble by continually telling him all his faults and weaknesses? Do you make a good home for your husband? Is your home a place of peace and rest and good cheer, a snug harbor that a tired and battered man can look forward to of an evening? Is there always a savory dinner awaiting your husband when he comes home at night, and a warm welcome? OR DO you make a home that is a place of strife and quarrel- ing, a place in which there is never a quiet spot in which he may relax after the strain of the day is over, where there is never any food that is fit to eat and to which a man comes home with as much loathing sand despeir in his heart as a pris- oner feels in returning to jail?

Usually the mother lived a more or less placid, sheltered existence; it didn't occur to her to smoke, or to drink alcoholic beverages; she went to bed early, and rose early, with the baby; her food was simple and good and she didn’t stay out night- clubbing until dawn, exhausting her strength and her nervous sys- tem. Life as a whole was on a quieter scale, her nerves were calm, and therefore the baby throve on his nourishment, ok X ¥ ¥ Bl‘T now things are different. Many times the baby’s mother has to go to work every day, and has no time personally to attend to his sustenance. Even if this is not the case, the way we all live now, at a high rate of tension and nervous strain, is detrimental in its effect on the baby that lives on its mother’s milk. Under there cir- cumstances the bottled has come to be the best sclution to the problem of raising healthy | babies. Bottle-fed babies do not get much vitamin C from the cow’s milk that is in their bottles. Cow’s milk, when fresh from a cow that has had feed rich in vitamin C, does contain the vitamin, but much of it is lost before the milk can be delivered to your door. The milk is usually pasteurized for the baby's safety in orde: to kill any harmful bacteria which it may contain—and this heating destroys | vitamin C. Therefore, the vitamin C content must be injected into the baby's diet in some other form. The most | concentrated sources of this vita- min, suitable to the baby’s use, are baby needs so little of either that the expense is negligibie. Few mothers would fail (0 provide these juices for their bapies if they re- lized how terribly important they are. ok %% 'HE Bureau of Home Economics says that apparently some mothers feel that the juices are a nice thing for the baby to have, to | add to his enjoyment, if they can easily be afforded, but that they formula | JUNE 12, 1935 Foundation step-ins without garters are 5, a girdle of. cotton mesh. HE story of the Summer next- BY MARGARET WARNER. to-skin garments seems to be a story of next-to-nothing | are not a real necessity. One doc- tor says that he has observed among his poorer patients a ten- dency to drop the fruit juices first of all from an overstrained budget. For .one baby, two or three oranges a week are enougn to sup- ply him with adequate juice. Never squeeze the orange and let the juice #tand, however, as vitamin content is lost in that way. To make one orange go as far as possible for the baby, the bureau advises cutting a piece off one end, squeezing the juice from that for one feeding, then turn the cut surface of the orange into a saucer and set it in a cool place until next feeding time. Chen repeat the operation and turn the cut surface again on to a plate—and so on until the orange is used up. Keep tomato juice care- fully covered and cooi, if you use the canned variety for the baby— if you use fresh tomatoes, you can squeeze one each time.

Activity Good Taste - In Hostess’ Invitations ‘Vagueness Is Cailed Unsatisfactory to Most Persons. BY EMILY POST. “DEAR MRS. POST: What can a hostess do when she in- vites people to come stay with her and her family and they do liter- ally stay? A hostess can't very well tell her guests that she will want their room on such a day, and yet some people seern never to know when they ought to leave to give a spare room for others. Per- haps you will answer that this is the recompense of being a good hostess, and while any woman would feel flattered to have you so classify her, 1 have at times had to resort to all sorts of trickery to help guests make up their minds to leave. Perhaps you can give the answer?: I have heard that some hostesses do set a definite time beforehand, but 1 would not know how to write 10 a guest with- | out sounding rude.” Answer.—According to very best precepts, it is not considered rude to tell a friend exactly how long you expect her (or him, or them) | to stay, but, on the contrary, the proper thing to do. In fact, it is more comfortable far your guests, much, than to let them wonder how soon they may be wearing out their welcome. It is better from every angle to write a note of invitation saying definitely: “Dear Jane: Will you and John come to us on Friday the third and stay until Monday, etc.” Or, | “Will you and John and’the baby 1.
