C-8 w Two Handy Li OrderBased On Personal Idea Wrong| Practice Is Likely to| Result in Failure of Discipline. BY ANGELO PATRL IT 1S a mistake to tell a child that he is delicate and that, for your sake, he must not eat things that do not agree with him. “No, no, Sonny, I wouldn't eat that dish of berries. You know how berries cause a rash on you. Don't eat them. For my sake don’t. T'd feel so bad if you were to make yourself sick.”. “They won't hurt me, will they, Ma?” “Oh, yes, dear, I'm sure they will. You have a delicate stomach and the least thing upsets it. Mother has to be so careful for you.” That sort of thing makes a child lean hard on his mother, but it is not good for the child. It makes him de- pendent, whining. balky. By and by he turns on his mother and says: “Just to show you, I'm going to eat more berries, and more, t00.” One day I actually heard a little ‘boy say to his mother: “All right, if you won't let me go out I won't eat my dinner for you. See if I care. I don’t care if you do cry. Serves you right. I won't eat & thing for you.” That will not do at all. Eating, dressing and taking medicine are im- personal things, matters of routine. Don't make an issue of them. If you do, you and your child are headed for trouble. Personal issues are always bad. The older the child is the more dangerous the personalities. The adolescent boy or girl resents intrusion, and if they don't, they should. Mother has no right to say, “You surely will do this for my sake. I am your mother. Re- member that. You cannot refuse me this request.” It is unfair to put the matter on a personal basis. There are things a child must do for himself, regardless of anybody else in the world; that is, if he is to preserve his personal integrity. It is unfair to have mother inject her feelings into the situation. This is particularly true when the young person must make an important decision such as choosing a life work or a life companion. Nothing ever comes of saying, “Do this for my sake,” except distress and failure. Children must be taught from the cradle upward that whatever they do, of good or ill, is done to themselves, for themselves, by themselves. We can advise and help, but we cannot live for them. When we try we only &pill the milk that we offer them. Children are human through and through, and it is human to be con- trary. Remember this when you find yourself slipping and beginning to plead and coax. If you do, your in- fluence will be much stronger and more enduring. As soon as a child learns that you are not going to battle with him for his own good, as soon as he discovers that you will give him your full attention and generous praise only when he has done a good job. Jjust so soon will he rely upon his own strength and try hard to win your ap- probation. So teach the child that what he does he does for his own good. There is an ounce of selfishness in the best of us and it is wiser to use it to the child’s advantage. it for my sake,” makes a weakling. “Do it for your own sake,” makes & strong personality.

If there is no sour milk when the Tecipe calls for some, use sweet milk and add two tablespoons of vinegar to each cup needed. My Neighbor Says: It is not too late to set out Dar- win tulip bulbs. Plant about four inches deep on a thin layer of sand ina well drained, sunny gar- den. Cover with good garden soil pressed firmly around the bulbs. If & meat loaf is allowed to stand at least 15 minutes out of the oven before serving it will slice more easily. After frying onions, pour a little vinegar into the frying , let it get hot and the odor of onions will disappear.

OMEN’ S FEATURES, ttle Cooqus Si THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, Drapery Is Keynote of Season’s Evening Modes, in Varied Interpretations. Left: Beautifully draped gown of Patou blue sheer. Right: Rich da rk rose brocaded slipper satin draped to the back in bustle effect. BY MARGARET WARNER. RAPED is the word that describes a major portion of the accepted fashions for dining and dancing for the approaching season of gayety. A peep into your Greek mythology will give you the basis of the inspiration and its interpretation has been varied a thousandfold. Drapery is no re- specter of fabrics, for we find it on heavy brocades as well as the filmy sheers. laces and supple velvets. The draped scarf hanging from the shoul- der to the floor is a particular favorite, giving a long sweeping line that is flattering to every figure. The same graceful line is obtained from long capes of chiffon or velvet, usually made.of two lengths of material and left open at the back for added grace. The scarf has many possibilities for drapery, and although usually of the same color and material as the dress, and in many instances attached to it, it also is shown in contrasting color and material. The figure at the left above is wear- ing a beautifully draped model of Patou blue sheer with waist-length cape-like drapery which forms a scarf on one side only. This long end may | be thrown around the neck and left | to hang part way down the left side, or it may be worn over the head in Oriental fashion. The beautiful seaming and arrangement of fullness at the left side of the skirt and the gold metal belt buckle add further interest to this charming ‘"’“‘"i gown, * ¥ % % 'HE second figure, gazing at her- self in the mirror, is wearing a gown of handsome dark rose-colored brocade slipper satin, very heavy, and very suggestive of a draped style of the nineties, even hinting a bustle back with its pleated arrangement be- low the waistline. This gown has an unusual charm that calls for curls brushed high from the nape of the neck and massed on the forehead. In direct contrast, the same shop is showing a most stunning gown of gold lame with a hip-length belted jacket with plain tailored sleeves and a narrow little roll collar. The bodice of the gown is slightly draped at the neckline of its halter front and the skirt has gored fullness. In the bouffant type is & distinctive gown of imported silk somewhat like bengaline, which gives the effect of glowing embers.as the light catches the glint of coppery red that is woven into the black. The skirt flares out stiff and wide and the bodice, with deep V neck, follows the figure closely.

Stunning for daytime was a knitted suit of navy blue and red. Large diagonal plaiding of red on the skirt was coupled with a slim fitting blue short jacket and the little knitted kiltie hat used a fringe of the two colors along the top from front to back. A dinner gown of dark brown" velvet with blouse of brown and gold em- broidered net has a belt made of folds of fuchsia and brown velvet. One of the outstanding designs was a black crepe evening gown with an extremely high cowl-like collar of bright blue lined with cerise. In the back this odd collar was fastened to a point of the black crepe which extended above the line of the low decolletage. One of the favorites of the collec- tion was a gray taracul three-quarter swagger coat with skins matched to form vertical shading of light and dark. This coat was first shown with & bright blue frock and hat, and later with a flame red dress and soft gray hat. A coat of this kind ‘also is smait with black and with green and has excellent wearing qualities. A gray velveteen two-piece suit with tight-fitting jacket buttoned with sil- ver stars is a novelty, and the dress that combines three colors is smart- ness itself. This frock, with draped triangular front and s'eeves. wide at the shoulders, uses Freach blue, dark blue and plum color, producing & beautiful color scheme as well as a very dashing outfit.

One is made to bake and roast perfectly over any kind of heating element—gas, electricity, oil or what have you. It is built of aluminumized steel and the base has a heat deflector that is lined with heavy asbestos. There is a tinned wire stand and the whole is covered with a polished aluminum hood. ‘The other type contains its owm electrical heating unit, which is equipped with a three-heat switch and operates on any current and on any ordinary light socket without dan- ger of overloading. The makers claim that this model is particularly eco- aomical, requiring a surprisingly small amount of “juice” to function. The base is chromium plated and will not tarnish. The hood is polished alu- minum. * x % % RDINARY pans and glass baking dishes may be used with either of | these little ovens, but there are special utensils made for them in carefully designed shapes and sizes, so that the maximum of food may be cooked to- | gether in the minimum of space. For instance, there is one deep dish in which two vegetables may fill the bot- gayly away in a specially arranged contrivance at the top. One of these “cookers” may sound a bit prosaic for a wedding gift—but, as a matter of fact, it would be appre- ciated highly by the bride who fis about to start housekeeping in tiny quarters. In addition to solving the problems of baking and roasting in such a neat manner, the ovens have the added advantage of keeping their Doro_thy ONSIDERING the women have only a veto power in marriage and have to take what they C can get in the way of hus- | bands instead of their preferences, it to try to tell a girl how to choose a husband. still and all, the reason that most men marry the women they do is because the particular ladies to whom they are united in the holy bonds of wedlock marked them for their own, and went after them and got them. Convention may debar a girl from ac- tually popping the question, but noth- ing prevents her from selling the idea to & man that he cannot live without her, and that nothing will make him so happy as to assume her board bill and shopping ticket for life. So girls do in reality pick out their husbands, and it is important that they should have some standards by which to judge whether a man will be a household pet after they get him or & wild animal that never can be tamed and domesticated. Now, leaving out the standardized virtues which every married man is supposed to' possess—and which ac- tually are not as potent in making marriages a success as the amenities of life are, for many & man who is as moral as the Ten Commandments is so grouchy and cantankerous that he is about as pleasant a companion as a sore-headed bear would be, and many s husband who never stirs away from his own fireside drives his wife to Reno—we come down to & consid- eration of the points for which a girl should look in choosing a life mate. * X k % Fnzsr, then, don't pick out for a husband a mamma’s pet. No matter what you do, you'll always run a bad second to mamma. You may be as patient as Griselda. You may pinch nickels until the buffalo howls in anguish, You may .cook like a French chef, but you'll always have to listen to how mother understands him, how mother runs a house on air and have_ the bread that mother made thrown in your teeth. And you'll have to plck up after him and put the buttons on his shirts and wait on him hand and foot, because mother brought him up to believe that he was the lord of the universe and that his wife was predestined to be his slave. It's & safe bet to pick out s hus- band who is smarter than you are, but it is » fatal mistake to choose one Every wife yants to look up to her husband and regard him as an oracle, and that is soothing to the man’s feelings and makes for peace and harmony in the family.

The husband adores onions on his steak, the wife can't abide them. bemoans herself as a golf widow. The only happy couples are those who have the same taste in politics and pies and who can be perfectly happy either spending money or saving it. Pick out for a husband a man who is all wool and a yard wide. Don't marry a man with a shoestring mind. If & man is little and narrow and prejudiced, he is hopeless. He never grows. He never learns. He never expands. He makes the kind of a husband who refuses to give his wife an allowance, who raises Cain over the bills and who never sees why a woman wants any other amusement more lively than staying home and taking care of the children. - Pick out for a husband a man who knows how to spend money. If he is a tightwad who looks as if he were undergoing & surgical operation every time he has to part with a dime, if he never takes you to a place of amuse- ment, or makes you a little gift, be- ware of marrying him. He'll make the sort of husband who will begrudge his wife the board and clothes she earns a thousand times over working for him.

There is lots of disillusion in marriage for a man as well as for a woman, and you want 8 husband who can take it on the chin when he finds out that you are just an ordinary human woman with temper and temperaments and faults and unreason instead of an angel and when he discovers that marriage costs three times what he thought it would and that often the price of a new set of golf sticks or fine reel has to go in little Mary's teeth or Johnny's adenoids. Believe me, it takes a man who is & good loser to make a good husband, and if you're wise youll never marry a man who holds post-mortems over the golf game he has lost or welches We-l'lhlm.

(Copyright. 1835.) » z mplify the Kitchenette Food Problem Weakness Of American Women Set ‘Eye Makeup anq | Nail Grooming Are Neglected by Most. BY ELSIE PIERCE. BECAUSE these observations wer made by a representative grouj of New Yorkers about the New York woman, and because the latter is so representative of the American woman generally, I feel that this will interest all my readers. This may, in fact, guide you in a check-up on your own strong and weak points. The setting for these observations was a party given recently by a well | known society leader for the vice pres- |ident of a famous perfume organiza- tion. Among those polled for the ;quesuonnaire were Helen Menken, one of our leading actresses; Dr. Henry Templeton Smith, her husband; Cy- | rena Van Gordon, Metropolitan Opera star; Michael Werboff, portrait paint- |er; Frances Maddux, society supper club singer, and many others. Two sets of questions, the first deal- ing with the feminine New Yorker, the second with her masculine neigh- | bor, were submitted to the guests. | Both sexes were voted “strong” in the |care of the figure. New Yorkers of both genders, it would seem, have | learned to conquer the demon fat, to |live sanely, and thus keep excess | pounds at bay. Her gowns were voted | the New York woman's second-strong- est trump card. Whether New York or Hollywood, or both, have influenced her taste is hard to say. She is weakest in application of eye make-up, in nail grooming and lipstick (according to the above-men- tioned gathering). And what to do | about it? Use natural-looking mas- |cara for daytime wegr: and by all | means for evening. The audience | heartily approved it and this new type of mascara is evidently here to stay. | The effect called for, of course, is a | far cry from the heavy, beaded, arti- | ficial mascara that used to run over | the cheeks, get into the eyes and sting. The use of perfume for daytime was approved by a vote of two-to-one providing the scent chosen is subtle | and light. Heavier perfumes for day- | time were ruled out. Helen Menken condoned with men because of the heavy, cumbersome clothes convention forced them to wear; Michael Werboff urged simpler and more form-fitting clothes for women (particularly those of good figure). He observed that woman's walk is one of her weakest points: |Cyrena Van Gordon advised the use |of individual and natural-looking eye | maké-up; and the society leader giv- | ing the party (who has traveled very | extensively) finds the New York woman in particular and American | women in general the best dressed in | the world, displaying the best taste in matters of grooming, too. e Finger Tips.
