BY ANGELO PATRI ‘--sts GRAY, please, could I have | a desk and a chair like Lorrie's?" | Miss Gray looked at the little figure | dressed in rompers and said: “Let | me see. How long are your legs?” | “They're quite long, Miss Gray.”| | Then, truth insisting, “but not quite | as long as Lorrie’s.” “You sit down in your own chair |and let me measure. Hm-m. They are some inches shorter than the legs | of the desk chairs. See? We'll meas- ure the legs of the desk chair and the desk legs, too. Oh, they are long, aren’t they? Your feet would dangle. | We will keep measuring, and the very | first day that your legs reach we will | give you the right-sized chair and desk for them.” “Am I too little, Miss Gray?" “Oh, my, no. Of ccurse not. You are quite as big as a 3-year-old girl | |ought to be. You're just right for yourself, you know." “Oh, I wouldn't like to be too small, | would I? But when I grow I can]| {have a chair and a desk. I hope I| grow fast.” One has to be carefui about such | ambitions. Al! children are eager to grow up, to have what the older and | bigger ones have, to do what they do. | The child in the infant class longs | for a pile of books to swing on a strap. The junior high school child longs to own a brief case and to sport 8 letter on his sweater. These ambi- tions are tonic for their growth if they are wisely met by the teachers and the parents. It is not wise to dismiss such a child with, “You're too small, you're too young, you're too im- mature.” That kind of rebuff makes a child feel that he is deficient. He is left with the feeling that he is inadequate and, of course, he cannot help mat- ters. He cannot be bigger or older | or more experienced by wishing him- self so. He must go ahead as he is and bear this burden of feeling that whispers, unfit, unfit, for all those long days to come. I like to teach little children the song about the little elf down where | the lilies blow, and how he said, “I'm just as big for me as you are big for you.” Teach the children they are just as big in their own right as the bigger child is in his. Make him feel ade- quate for his day and leave him with a feeling of success and a hope for the future. Don't say: “What? A boy your age? A girl so small? You're too young, too little.” Keep saying: “For & child your age you are fine. By the time you grow a few inches more you will be a wonder. Of course you can have a big chair when your legs stretch. To be sure you can go to school alone when your back is longer. About this time next year you will be strong enough to carry more books, and you shall have a new strap for them like Jacks.” You can have no idea how much one little word can mean, or what importance the placing of & word can take on in dealing with children until you have seen the results. Make them feel as big as they are and they will g0 on merrily enough. Make them feel less than they are and they fall by the way. So much for so little effort on our part is surely worth while, (Copyright, 1935.) My Neighbor Says: Take up a few marigold and petunia plants, put into pots and keep indoors in an even temper- ature and a well-lighted room. Plants grow to the light, so it is well to turn pots occasionally. Put a few pieces of charcoal into glass in which hyacinth bulb is planted. It will keep the water sweet.

HE blouse that is an overblouse, the skirt of classic simplicity, the two of them to be changed about with other blouses and skirts! And there you have the back- bone of the college girl's wardrobe! The possibilities of variety in color and material are numerous, and even though the costume is about as prac- tical from the standpoint of wear, as well as the budget, as it can be, it is the one that seems to have been adopt- ed by the college girl as her uniform. Sometimes she changes the blouse for knitted sweaters, but the idea is the same. ‘This skirt has a deep, inverted pleat in back and front and is beautifully fitted over the hips, having that straight, trim line which marks the well-tailored garment. The blouse slips over the head and buttons on the shoulders, where there is a shal- low yoke. The sleeves are long, but, like as not, the young lady will push them above the elbows, in a fat roll, especially if the blouse is of wool jersey, or some other soft wooly stuff. As for materials, the skirt will, no doubt, be of tweed, & nice nubbly one, and the blouse of the aforementioned jersey, or velveteen. Or, the skirt might be of velveteen, and the blouse of soft wool; wool challis is very smart, and a comfortable weight. Then, again, the skirt may be of the very gayest plaid imaginable, 1753-8 exactly matches in weave and color. That combination would make a grand two-piece dress. Then if you wanted the same idea for dress-up occasions the skirt might be of velvet and the blouse of lustrous lame, or crinkly crepe, or satin. Combine a natural colored blouse with a deep green skirt. Have the blouse of blue, dull and with a purple tone, and combine it with a dregs of wine skirt, and scarf, and belt. Wear & gray skirt and have a mustard blouse, or use green, dull and flat, with rust. Honey color and black are good running mates, and some shades of fuchsia are very striking with cactus green. Use lots of color, for therein lies the charm of this “assembling- your-own” business. Barbara Bell pattern No. 1753-B is designed in sizes 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20. Corresponding bust measurements, 30, 32, 34, 36 and 38. Size 16 (34) requires about 1}, yards of 54-inch material for the blouse and about 2% yards of 54-inch material for the skirt.

From the nape of the neck, right down to the waistline. Coiffures are climbing high. There's talk about the sweet young nape of the neck show- ! ing. But is it sweet and young? Just below it, that area between the! shoulder blades, the spot that seems ! to be the favorite parking place for freckles and brown spots. That needs some special work. And you can’t stop there. On downward because evening dresses are hanging by next- to-nothing at all and the smartest gowns are cut away clear in the back. Let Some One Do It for You. You can get at it yourself, but not nearly as well as some one else can do it for you. So solicit the help of | mother, sister, or friend. Work out a | tit-for-tat plan. Any , the first step is the scrubbing and for this a long handled back brush is indispensa- ble. A mild,.bland soap or better yet a very fine quality lemon soap which cleanses and bleaches in one. The usual warm water scrubbing, working up a rich lather and frictioning until the skin glows. Rinse with warm then cold water. Blot dry with a soft, turkish towel. Apply a good cleansing cream gen- erously over the entire back, leaving it on for a few minutes. Remove with tissues. Now for the bleach. There are some splendid stimulating and bleaching preparations on the market. Used a half dozen times they help remove the dead, discolored skin, make the skin an even tone. Such a prep- aration is a boon if there are several different U or V lines of demarkation, left by bathing suits of differing decolletage. Be sure to follow direc- tions. They usually caution: Leave on for 15 minutes at first, then grad- ually increase to about a half hour as the skin's resistance is built up. Judge by the tingling sensation pro- duced. Remove and apply a sooth- ing, rich cream. Leave this cream on to soften the skin. Flop on couch or bed in dark- ened room on face and relax com- pletely. While you're resting some one might do some back massage movements for you. Stimulating and at the same time very relaxing. After a half hour, or an hour, re- move the tissue cream with soft linen or the paper cleasing tissues. Sponge with a mild skin tonic. Wrap a bit of ice in a soft cloth and go over the back with it. Pat dry with talcum. Your back should be clear and soft as a baby's and you should feel fit as a fiddle, glowing and glad. (Copyright. 1935.) The Old Gardencr Sflyl : Lily bulbs are quite different from mokt other kinds. They are made up of scales, which are soft and which point to the top. Because they are soft it is im- portant to plant lily bulbs as soon as possible. They deteriorate rapidly when kept out of the ground. They are also likely to rot if water gets into them, for which reason many growers plant them on their sides, which helps to prevent water lodging in the scales. Among the lilies that should have a place in all gar- dens are several which are im- ported and which arrive late. Orders for them should be placed at once, however. In this list is the Regal lily and the Speciosum lily, both of which are among the best garden flowers. The Madonna lily and most of the American lilies can be bought and.planted now.

What if a lacks beauty as if she did not exist, no matter if she possesses every other charm and virtue, but women make no such discrimination against an ugly man. They regard his other qual- | ities instead of his face, and if he is intelligent, . agreeable, upright, well young couple does have to skimD | mannered and well bred, they do not through the first several years of mar- | care whether he has a pug nose or & ried life?

If the couole | is married, they will have had their start by the end of the depression, while those who wait will, in all prob- ability, be no better off financially, and certainly not mentally, for the dreary suspenses they have been through. Wouldn't it be better for me, for in- stance, to marry the girl I love now and gamble on getting a promotion | than to wait until we are older and better off financially? Within a few weeks we will be separated oy several thousand miles, possibly for too long. Anything can happen at that dis- tance. Should I wait and gamble on the future? KANSAS. Answer—If you and the girl be- tween you can make bread and but-| ter, don't wait until you can afford cake to marry. A long engagement is one of the most devastating experi- ences that human beings ever go through. It frazzles out the nerves. It makes the heart sick with hopeless waiting. So tragic is the long-drawn- out love affair that a young couple is justified in taking many risks to avoid the ordeal. * o x UT when the problem comes up cf a young couple marrying on a shoestring, the question is: Can they take it> Have they the courage to fight out hard times together? Have they the nerve to make sacrifices? Are they capable of a love that can make them say, and mean it: “All for love and the world well lost?” If they can, well and good, and blessings will follow their marriage. | But if they can't take it, if their love | isn’t strong enough to stand the bat- tering of fate, then they will be more miserable together than they would be apart, for each will blame the other for their common misfortune. Certainly it does no young couple any harm to have to work hard and pinch pennies during the first years of marriage. On the contrary, it teaches them to be industrious and frugal, and | it puts them on their mettle to make the best of whatever ability they have. | And if they love each other it brings them closer together in a community of interests that richer people never experience. Many & man and woman whose humble first home was glorified when they dreamed and planned and their lives. T know a woman, now a million- airess, who married a poor boy who was earning only $10 a week, who loves to tell of how at night she washed her husband's shirt so that he might have a clean one to wear to work the next day, and of how she used to walk 2 miles to carry him his lunch in a tin pail. % UR grandparents had the courage to marry on love and bread and cheese and kisses. They didn't wait until they could have a show wedding | |and & steam-heated apartment and | , | keep an automobile. They were con- | tent to live in one room and eat cheap food and wear shabby clothes, and the wife didn’t consider herself a do- mestic martyr for having to do the cooking and scrubbing and washing afternoon or playing bridge. But the youth of today are not such adventurous lovers. They want mar- age, but they want their wedding cakes put up in fancy boxes and tied with ribbon. And when they do oc- casionally undertake a marriage that is not adequately financéd it nearly always ends in bankruptey. They can't take it. They can't stand the hardships. They can't make the sacrifices. They can’t do without the things they have been accustomed to having. Their love for each other just simply peters out before their love of comforts and luxuries. Mary can't stand her hands having calluses on them instead of being man- icured. She can’t stand wearing last year’s hat. She can't sand her hair being stringy and needing a wave. She can't stand sitting at home of evenings instead of going to places of amusement. John can’t stand having to give up his club, his car, his golf, never having a penny in his pocket and always being hounded by the bill | And so they quarrel, and | collector. part. So the question of whether a young couple should marry on a meag- er income or not depends upon whether they can take it. * x ok x EAR MISS DIX—Please solve this problem for us: Why is it that mogt homely men marry good-looking women? PUZZLED. Answer: Men marry any kind of women they please because they have the privilege of picking out their wives and so can choose girls who are balm to their eyes. If they are particularly addicted to beauties, it is doubtless their own lack of pulchritude that | makes them especially appreciative of it in others. No ugly woman could hope to marry & handsome man, because men, as & %fif;w:. 7 LEA & PERRINS SAUCE _ weR&vasiine DA e Cuticura Taleum Cooling Refreshing Medicated with fragrant, balsamic oils, Cutieura Talcum, dusted on after the bath or as a finishing touch 10 the toilet, is refreshing and comforting.

But girls are flattered to death at the attention of | men who are as ugly as gargoyles, if they know how to talk and how to give a party and how to make them have good times. Most men look at only | the outside of a girl's head, and if that is ornamental they don't consider | wkether she has any brains or heart | or not. But women pay small atten- | tion to men's looks and the things that matter to them are the men's in- telligence and personality. And because women are so little in- fluenced by good looks in a man, and because men are entirely influenced by beauty in a woman, women show more intelligence in judging men than men do in judging women DOROTHY DIX.
