B—16 Friendship Betw L4 ‘Don’t Care’ CryCallsfor Assistance Children Who Really Care Avoid Giving Information. BY ANGELO PATRIL. T WAS a mean day, rainy and cold. Pudge had to stay indoors. “Gee wiz, nothing to do in the old house. Ma, what can I do?” Sit still. Read a book or some- thing, but don’t go galumphing every- where. First thing you know youll break something.” ‘Pudge sat a few minutes and turned the pages of his book. It was no use. He had to do something or bust. Down went the book. “The dumb thing,” said he, as he wearily got to his feet and stretched and then reached for the sofa pillow. First he punched and then he tossed it. And then somehow the cushion took a wrong direction. It flew backwards out of his hand and crash went the vase that stood on the side table. “Pudge, what in the world has come over you? You are the worst child I ever saw. For that you stay home on Saturday instead of going to the party.” This was too much. Pudge was erushed at this new misfortune. He muttered: “Who cares? I don't want to go to the old party.” “0, you don’t want to go? All right. I'll take good care that you don’t, and what's more—you're going to bed right now.” “I don't care what I do,” he shouted. ‘When a child says he doesn’t care what he does, why not take the gesture at its face value? My experience tells me that the child, who says, “I don't care,” is already caring too much. All children, from babyhood on, care about their standing with their fel- lows. They care deeply, painfully, in- dignantly, and they hide their dis- tress behind a swagger. A mother writes: “We can't get along with Thomas. He won't do anything we ask him, and he tells us to our faces that he doesn't care what we say. I am going to send him to a private school where he will be made to care. We are so unnerved that we are always miserable.” The child who does not care is not going to take the trouble to tell you s0. He will let the fact seep into your mind gradually, gently, cheerfully. ‘You will notice no tension in his voice, no shadow in his eyes, no swagger in his speech. He won't rise in anger and say he doesn't care. Not he. It is only the troubled child who makes that speech. Why not listen to his inner self? Hear what he does not say and know that he needs a lift over difficulty. Give it to him and you won't need a private school. You won't even need me to tell you that the boy is frightened. “I don’t care,” is a signal of dis- tress, not of rebellion. When one is forced to the wall one has to fight back as best he can. The dignity of childhood forbids a show of weakness. Punishing him isn't .going to get either you or him anywhere. The next time you hear, “I don’t care,” know it for what it is—a call for help, a challenge to love and leadership. (Copyright. 1935 Egg Trick.

A marvelous cream that will completely disguise all skin blemishes is pain ted on with a brush and blended with into the natural skin texture. An attractive manicure set at a special price. BY MARGARET WARNER. T SOMETIMES happens that one person’s misfortune is another’s I gain. This, in fact, is the story of one of the most welcome ar- rivals in the cosmetic field, a product that actually means joy and happiness to hundreds of girls and women who suffer untold agonies of embarrass- | ment from facial blemishes such as large and unsightly birthmarks. One | of the most dramatic stories in the whole history of beauty culture is that of the girl born with a large birthmark covering one whole cheek. When a child her parents consulted an endless number of eminent skin specialists in a vain effort to remove the mark. Came college time and the girl began to study chemistry with a marked ap- titude for the subject which later brought her a vision of making some sort of preparation that would com- pletely cover that birthmark. Such an intense desire, coupled with the proper | training finally bore fruit in a formula which, when applied, forms an opaque film over the blemish, can be blended to tone in with the natural complexion and when dry makes a base for rouge and powder. It is a thick, creamy paste that Is applied with a camel’s hair brush and blended at the edges so that there is no line where it starts and stops. It completely covers the mark until it is washed off and comes in six shades to match every skin. This preparation, of course, has other possibilities. It may be used for covering brown spots that show up on arms or shoulders when wearing for- mal evening clothes; it covers burns and bruises, dark veins and vaccina- tions. It comes in two sizes and you may also purchase with it a special remover, a thinning lotion and a pow- der that exactly matches all the colors. These are not absolutely necessary for satistactory results, but, of course, they do help. A special representative of this miracle paste is in town this week and will be only too glad to show you how it works. * ok ok % THE handy case at the bottom of the sketch holds a complete mani- cure set and is at the present time enjoying popularity due to the fact that it is being sold at $1.25, when it formerly sold for $2.50. Quite a spe- cial price, you must admit! The nice soft leather cases come in black, red and blue. The bottles contain polish, polish remover, cuticle remover and —Sketched in Washington Shops. orange stick, all wrapped in cello- phane.

It is really a skin pre- server as well as a pleasant tonic for the body. Cologne has a place on every woman'’s shelf of toilette requi- sites, so when your supply is run- ning low, try this new one and see how it appeals to you. * %k x WE FOUND another special among the toiletries—this time twin boxes of face powder put out by one of the best known manufacturers of such products. The set is being of- fered for $2 in order to show people the value of having two distinct | shades of powder, one for daytime and the other for evening. A reg- ular size box of either shade of pow=- der sells for $3. This powder is un- usually fine, delightfully fragrant and most adherent. The two colors are peachbloom and rachel.

When the skin looks coarse and blotchy, smooth in this special product and watch your face grow lovelier. It comes in a nice black glass jar at $1.25 for the small size.

BY BETSY CASWELL. OVELY Autumn days, with the leaves turning red and brown, and lending a heady quality to the very air! Golden sun- shine, every moment of which should be counted and absorbed by human systems to store away againstthe " rigors of Winter cold and lack of sunlight. Most of our children are al- ready hard at work on the school year, ne- cessitating con- finement within four walls for the greater part of the day. ‘Therefore their quota of vitamin- giving sunshine is reduced to a minimum, and parents must see to it that the child is kept out of doors during each hour of daylight that remains to him. Many of the schools have organ- ized athletics, of course, and their own grounds for sports, governed by competent instructors. This is par- ticularly true of the larger private schools. Also, there are many children, still quite young, whose nurses take them to the park after school, where they meet their friends and indulge in good, wholesome out of doors rough- house. In either of these cases, there is no more to be said—the child is being given every advantage as to health and pleasure and nothing more need be done about it. * * X X BUT for the child who has neither nurse nor school athletics—what of him? How is he to get the best out of the waning Summer days so that his little body can be primed to the highest pitch of health and endurance during the trying months to come? It is wise to look into the possi- bilities of Boy Scout activities—of the Boys' Clubs of the Metropolitan Police here in town—of the junior organizations of such patriotic units as the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion. Nearly all of them can offer some answer to the problem of keeping your child amused in the open air in the later afternoon hours, and he will enjoy the competitive sports and various recreations offered. Betsy Caswell Girls may join Girl Scouts, Brownies, | nature study clubs—or form basket or to pick up some small money. In any event, such activities should be en-' couraged by the parents, and their co-operation in all respects is to be recommended. * ok x o* IP YOUR child is too small for any of these ideas, and you cannot af- ford to hire a nurse to walk with Dorothy D. C, | noon routine will prove a little diffi- base ball teams under the coaching |TaY have to make. of a high school or college girl, glad | him—then give up some of your aft- ernoon recreations, and take him for a long and amusing hike yourself. It will do you both good, and open up beauty spots in the park to you which you did not know existed. I know of nothing more lovely just now than tramping along the wooded trails in Rock Creek Park, up hill and down dale, on Autumn afternoons. Such a walk will put you wonder- fully en rapport with your offspring— you will find unexpected congeniality and companionship in discussing the squirrels, trees, shrubs and other pleas- ant objects encountered along the way. Horses and riders add a picturesque touch—you will discover yourself drifting ifto a story-telling mood about Black Beauty and other famous equines as you go along. Somehow, during this hour or so, where no tele- phones can ring, no callers interrupt, and all interest is centered away from yourself, you will reach a point in| placidity and calmness that is im- | possible to attain in the hurly-burly of everyday existence. * o x £ I’I‘ 1S always fun, too, to bring home | some unusual berry or leaf, to be | looked up in the family library that evening. The thrill of discovery adds to the child’s pleasure in the excur- sion, and furthers his enthusiasm for future walks. Take along a simple sandwich or two, and perhaps a tiny bottle of tomato juice—refreshments | taken in the middle of the hike will help considerably on the homeward trek and give a more festive air to the pause for rest. | You have, of course, like all good mothers, seen to it that your child’s | new shoes are bought long enough and wide enough to take care of his rapidly growing feet during the com- ing months. This is especially im- portant if you are going to make a practice of long walks, for, when prop- erly shod, the child will not become nearly so fatigued. This goes for the adult member of the expedition, too— low heels, broad soles and good sup- port should be the features of moth- er's pedal equipment. Light, short Jackets or sweaters, rather than long coats are advisable; skirts should be | short and free-swinging. I will admit that the first time or two, the break in your usual after- cult—but the good done your child, both in health and®in cementing the friendship between you—will amply repay you for any small sacrifices you And—here s | another important point for mother; herself—there is no better reducing | exercise than hiking over uneven ground in the open air! 1t you wish advice on your individ- ual household problems, write to Betsy Caswell, in care of The Star, inclosing stamped, self-addressed envelope for reply. Dix Says Real Charm of Personality May Be Acquired Through Persistence. perfectly satisfactory wife complained to his family phy- sician that she was deficient in fem- inine charm and grace and wanted to know if she could not be given some sort of treatment that would make her glamorous and fascinating. The doc- tor, knowing of no prescription that would turn Mary Ann into Marianne, passed the buck to the American Med- ical Association, whose experts re- plied: “There is no extract which can replace the lack of inherited or ac- quired qualities of womanly charm. A girl must be born with it, or else she must learn it in youth by imitating some older woman who knows this secret or has these manners.” MAN who possessed a stodgy, A commonplace but otherwise Thus is dissipated woman'’s fond be- lief that allure comes in bottles and Jjars and can be purchased at the drug store or the beauty shop. But it is a salve to her disappointment to learn on the highest authority that if neither surgery nor medicine can change her into’ a vamp, taking thought will, and that she can acquire the tricks by which women conjure if she will apply herself to the task. * K kX is true for charm that is mental rather than physical. Often & very beautiful woman will entirely lack it, and when she does all of her perfection of feature and figure and coloring go for naught. We ad- mire her casually snd impersonally and pass on. She has none of the magnetism that attracts people to her. Not even men who are said to be drawn to beauty by a single hair, and that is why in every community we find so many good-looking and clever girls who never have a date and who are drifting into old maidenhood. And, on the other hand, it explains ‘why so many homely giris who are just the ordinary run-of-the-mill feminin- ity are the center of attraction wher- She is not one of th> shrieking si- rens who always talk at the top of their voices, nor one of the tinpot gigglers nor one of the jumping-jacks on a stick that wear you out with their activities. She is just cheerful and soothing and bracing, and, somehow, seems to pour out her cwn abundant spirit upon you and make you feel that all's right in this best-of-all-pos- sible good old worlds. ‘Then the charmer is neven self- centered. She never takes the center of the stage and holds it. On the con- trary, she pushes you into the spot- light. She never monologues about herself, her children, her husband and her dogs and cats. She never tells you her troubles, nor boasts to you of her successes. * ok ok X BUT before you know it you have told her all about your minor and major operations and the cute thing the baby said and the trouble you have had with the cook and about Mamie's engagement to the Smith boy, and she listens with such understand- ing and sympathy that you go away feeling that she is the most enter- taining woman you have ever met, al- though all that she has done has been to give you the cue to your favorite topic. ‘The charmer never says sarcastic things that stab like a dagger thrust. She never holds people up to ridicule. She has a keen sense of humor that enables her to enjoy a good story and the clever things you say that makes her conversation bright and amusing, but she always laughs with you and never at you. So you don't go away from her feeling that you have left your character behind you and that she is entertaining the company by making fun of all of your little pecu- liarities and weaknesses. * k *x X ABOVE all, the charmer is tactful. 8he has a sixth sense that enables her to walk safely around people’s pet prejudices instead of stepping on them {and a divine gift for always saying the right thing to the right people. She remembers our tastes, and if she sends us a 5-cent bunch of posies they are violets because they are our fa- vorite flower. She handles us with gloves so deftly that we never know we are being managed. She never starts . | arguments. Never gets into fights. Never arouses enmity. In a word, she strokes our fur the right way and we purr under her hand. And that's charm. And it is some- thing that any woman can acquire who wants it badly enough to sacrifice her ego to get it. But the real secret of charm lies in your heart. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1935.) Cooking Hint. Crumbs that are to be kept Jor any length of time should be placed 1o glass jars.

Y THIS time everybody is aware that the tailored sult is top | hole in the fashions for Fall| B and Winter. trim lines, beautiful tailoring and lovely fabrics make it an enormous success. Purthermore, it is young | looking and has the sort of casual ap- pearance that women like., Later it| will be worn heneath a top coat, or & dashing sort of cape, but now it needs only & good blouse and the proper ac- cessories to make it a perfect street outfit. This single-breasted model is nipped in at the waistline, and buttoned with two buttons. The notched collar is rather wide, and seams in front and back form a sort of panel effect which is continued into the skirt. Sleeves are well cut, nicely fitted, and fin- ished with & single button. The skirt flares the tiniest bit at the bottom, but fits snugly over the hips. Twelve inches from the floor is the best length for these tailored things, although | skirt lengths are mercifully left to the | discretion of the one who wears them | this season. As for material! Tweed, of course! Thick and soft, and grand colors.

Men's suitings are grand for Foods Need Calciumand | Phosphorus Elements Have Role to Play in Growth and Health BY EDITH M. BARBER. 'I‘ODAY the question of phosphorus is before us. Fortunately, calcium and phosphorus are often found in the same foods. For the formation of bone and teeth one is as necessary as the other. Every cell in the body contains phosphorus, and even after growth is completed we must keep on supplying enough to replace what is used daily. Nerve tissue also de- mands phosphorus and, with calcium, it has an important role to play in regulating the acid-alkaline content of the blood. Milk and milk products, eggs, whole cereals, such vegetables as lentils and dried beans are the most important sources of this min- eral, which is 5o necessary to the maintenance of life. A number of other vegetables and fruils, however, supply us with worthwhile amounts, but should not be depended upon en- tirely for. this supply.

'HE little woman who “keeps house® and keeps it beautifully, too, has her hands full at this time of the year, First it's moving in from the beach or country, then it's getting the children ready for school and no sooner does she finish these chores than there's redecorating or moving to think about, She is so completely occupied with these tasks that she neglects herself even more than usual (and we beauty editors know that she neglects herself enough the year through.) All this, coming as it does right on top of a Summer that is havoc to most skins, that parches and bleaches the hair, dries the nails, makes a comeback to normal very, very hard indeed. Take It in Stride. ‘The wise woman takes it all in stride and takes time out for the necessary reconditioning treatments, or precautionary measures. I know there are days when you are so tired you are ready to fall (literally) into | bed without so much as removing | your make-up (something you should | never, never do, you know). Getting | that tired is in itself a health and beauty sin. Don’t do it. It isn't mod- | ern, it isn’t right. You'll find that a | 10-minute rest just as soon as you feel the least bit fatigued will set you up for hours, but if you let that tired feeling creep up and heap up, hours and hours won’t help. Plan, plan, plan. You have to map out your menus in advance, list the groceries, do your shopping efficiently. Plan every detail of your additional chores and of your beauty homework in much the same way. Your tasks will be so much smoother and easier. And now for a few things to bear in mind when you're moving or re decorating. Packing and unpacking are by no means easy on the hands. Have your nails filed shorter than | usual and wear gloves. Gloves are mighty handy things and should be worn as much as possible when wash- ing dishes or clothes, when dusting * and for similar household tasks. | It you're doing intensive dusting | or window cleaning, taking down Sum- mer curtains or draperies, taking up | rugs or putting them down, unpacking | things that have been stored away— remember that dust “gets into your hair.” Protect it. Make a Dutch cap out of soft linen or a small towel. % Better yet, brush your hair up from the hairline, pin on top, pin & chamois about two inches wide tightly around the hairline and then put the Dutch | cap over the chamois and the hair. | No dust can possibly creep in if you follow this tip. Several times during the day gargle with a mouthwash or with warm salt water to get rid of any dust. Wash face. hands and arms frequently and at night after your warm, cleansing bath give your hands and face a gen- erous creaming.

The Old Gardener Says: | It is important that gladiolus bulbs should be thoroughly dried off before they are stored for Winter. If the bulbs were not dried in the open ground they can be spread out on the garage or cellar floor now. It is quite easy to carry them through the Winter in boxes of sand, leaves or peat moss. Indeed, many garden makers simply dump the bulbs into shallow boxes and pile them up in the cellar. This plan gives good results if the boxes are loose enough to admit the passage of air. It seems to be a fact that thrips are kept from damaging the bulbs if the tem- perature is kept just above the freezing point. Yet if thrips have been very active it will be well to store the bulbs in boxes con- taining a liberal amount of naph- thalene flakes. or
