B—10 WOMEN’S FEATURES. Substantial Sandwich May || Shopping in Washington Self-Denial | FamilyNeed | Some Days; Cheerful Spirit Has Great Value When Funds Are Low. BY ANGELO PATRI. EAR BOYS AND GIRLS: Fathers | and mothers are sore pressed for" money these days. What money they have must be used for necessities. Your father and mother are trying to think out ways of making and saving| enough money to send you to school, high school, college or to a special | school or shop where you can be| taught something useful. By and by | you will have to head a household and find ways of supporting it, and | they are eager to give you a chance to i do it well. Every penny ceunts. Every | member of the family must do his share. You cannot earn money unless you | are exceptionally fortunate. But you | can do the next best thing. You can | get along without using money for | anything except what is necessary. You need not ask father for money to | buy a new hat, for instance. You can | get along beautifully with the old one | or none at all. A shiny head of hair 1s good to look at in pleasant weather. You need not ask for money to go to & show. You are better off in the| open air, walking across country, swimming, reading in the shade of & tree. You can get a good book from | the library, you can reread an old| favorite, and be very happy in doing | it. You need not remind mother that vou need a new dress for the garden | party. You can get out the old ones | and select the best. Freshen it up and wear it with a cheerful, smiling face and be the best-dressed girl there. A pretty dress helps, but it is useless | without the cheerful smile and the glad heart of a helpful child. | Your father and mother do not feel that you are a burden. Don't imagine | that you are, because it is an un- healthy thought. They love you more | than they love anything on earth, and | they live and work for you gladly. | They need your help. They need to| feel your spirit responding to theirs in order to carry on from day to day. They are quick to feel your spirit's message. If it is whining and com- plaining, suffering deprivation and boredom, they feel the heaviness of it pressing down upon their overburdened souls. They stagger under it. A cheerful spirit will say: “Don't worry about me. Idon't need a thing. I'm perfectly happy as I am. Let me | help with the dishes. Let me clean | the car. You rest a little and let me | try that job. I want to help all I can | because you are the best father and} mother in the world to me and I know | how hard things are these days.” Life afternoon shoe and bag; in combined with light calf.

The main thing is to have | the toast thick and not too crisp, so that some of the gravy can really soak | {in for added lusciousness. The beef | should be rare and tender, the toast well buttered, and the whole should be served on very hot plates, garnished with parsley, and covered with a good rich gravy, made as follows: Remove some of the fat from the pan in which the roast was cooked, | leaving only 4 tablespoons of fat in the pan.

We have never told them about losing | our money. When we had to give up | our home we said it was too big for us, | that we preferred a smaller place be- | cause it would be cozier. We told them we sold the car because the doc- tor said we should walk more, and | that the reason we kept a plain table | is because rich foods and desserts are | | not good for us. Oh, I've told them lies until I feel as if my middle name | is Sapphira, but I am determined not | to lay our burdens on their little | shoulders, or to sadden their young lives with our troubles.” * ok Kk I THINK this woman is making a very great mistake, because she is not only taking a line of conduct that is bound to kill her children’s respect for her, but she is giving them a wrong point of view about life. In the first place, she cannot possibly keep up her deception long about their | | play-acting at poverty. They are | | bound to soon discover the reality. | 1t is almost impossible to fool chil- dren. They have an uncanny intui- | tion for the truth. They go to the | heart of things with brutal frankness. You might make an older person be- lieve that you wore your shapeless old | shoes because they were more com- fortable, or you ate stewed meat in- | stead of fillet mignon because you pre- | | ferred it, but you couldn't put it across with a child. He would spot you for the liar you were. # In the second place, this mother is making her children ashamed of honest poverty, which is adding the final sting to it and making it a thousandfold harder to endure. For the worst thing about poverty is not being poor. It consists in not being ,rich, and once you accept the fact that you can’t live on a fashionable street and have imported clothes and streamline cars, you can be very happy and comfortable in a cottage, and in wearing hand-me-downs and rid- ing in the bus. It is the pretense of having money when you have none that wears you to skin and bone, the trying to keep up with the Joneses, the staving off the grocer to pay for a pink tea that takes the heart out of you.

That is why we see parents keeping all of | their troubles to themselves so that their children will be carefree, why they walk so their children may have sport cars, why mothers make callouses on their hands so that their daugh- ters’ hands may be kept soft and manicured. o I BELIEVE this to also be a great mistake. I believe that it develops children’s characters to have respon- sibilities put upon them, and that it makes for family solidarity for chil- dren to be taken into their parents’ confidence and told of all the family problems and made to feel that they must take their part in helping to | solve them. I believe that there would be fewer selfish sons and daughters if children were made to pull their weight in the boat instead of being taken along as de luxe passengers. It is not the chil- dren who have been pampered para- sites in a family, who have been reared in idleness while their parents worked and who have been kept from every harsh wind that blew, who grow up to be an honor to their mothers and fathers. It is .he children who have shared in their parents’ anxieties and labors and borne their part of the family burden. . DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1935.) Silk, Satin and Muslin.

T THIS time of the season your wardrobe is probably in a state of complete collapse. A All the brave little numbers with which you started the season show the wear and tear of the months that are hard on clothes. But it isn't necessary for you to go through the rest of the Summer looking wilted—buy yourself a new dress, be it ever so simple. You'll find it will do wonders for you. The dress in the illustration is a life-saver. It is the sort of thing you can seam up in a few hours, and it won't take the last penny in flat- tened vacation bank roll. It is ex- ceedingly smart. with nice, simple lines, and attractive sleeves set on in big scallops. Two big buttons trim the upper scallop in front and a good-looking belt (which you may BARBARA BELL, Washington Star. Inclose 25 cents in coins for Pattern No. 1687-B.

The Old Gardener Says H A privet hedge may be trimmed as late as early September. In- deed, several trimmings in the course of the Summer are nec sary in order to keep the privet hedge symmetrical. Very late trimming is inadvisable because inducing the growth of new wood which may readily be Winter- killed. Much depends upon the soil in which a hedge is grown, and the amount of fertilizer giv- en. If the growth is rapid, shear- ing will be required often, and by the same token, frequent cut- ting tends to increase the growth. This is an advantage when hedges are becoming “leggy,” for some of the new growth is likely to appear near the bottom where it is needed. In fact, repeated hard cutting is the only method by which to keep the lower branches covered with fresh growth. Most other plants used for hedges do not need to be cut more than once or twice in a season. (Copyright 1935.) Style Trend.
