BY BETSY CASWELL. ERHAPS you are the mother of a daughter who is going through that harassing experi- ence known as “growing up.” It is a tense and tiresome time for all concerned. Daughter still reverts to the days of bands-on-teeth and skinned knees whenever the spirit moves her, and ’ her adult airs have proved too great a strain. On the other hand, as far as iJ social mattersare § concerned, she is apt to be either passionately in favor or just as ‘passionately egainst. If she doesn't want to go to par- ties just yet, at the ripe old age of 13 or 14, then life is simpler for you. She will have outgrown childish gatherings, so that the annual birth- day affair of cake, ice cream, movies or marionettes no longer holds real charm, She will be content to stay at home, take in an occasio: movie, go in for athletics, reading and listening to the radio and being a peaceful, comfortable child for a few more years. That is a relief to par- ents, and mothers and fathers may relax happily, secure in the knowl- edge that daughter is doing just what she really wants to do, and that no further effort is required of them for the time being. x X Xk X IT IS not wise to force the girl who does not want to go to dances given for groups of her own age, or to mingle with boys and girls at small, informal parties. The chances are that the trouble is merely adolescent shyness, which will diappear as inexblicably as it arrived—especially if no attention &s paid to it. A girl who is coaxed or commanded into attending dancing school and junior festivities against her will, is apt to develop a dislike of society that will stick with her the rest of her life. And, one very serious consequence may be that, due to being a wallflower at her first dance, she will be convinced that she has no charm, and will resign herself to a career of unpopularity. This in itself will prove disastrous, for girls with a resigned expression never wear out dancing slippers. ‘Then there is the girl who wants— terribly—to be a success at parties. She wants it so much that her very eagerness defeats her aim. Her laugh- ter is too loud—her animation is too pronounced—her clutching at any available boy too obvious. Her prob- lem should be carefully and gently dealt with, for her desire to please makes her especially sensitive to criti- cism, and pointing out her faults may easily curdle all the joy within her. The best way to handle her case is to * underline her own errors by offering some other child—either real or imag- inary, as an example~in casual con- versation. For instance, if your child has been guilty of too loud talking and mak- ing herself conspicuous, you might remark, a day or so after the party, Betsy Caswell. anv That Her Friends Are Mary? Have you given little dinners | at your house before the school dances |or little teas following the afternoon [d&ncmg classes? Have you really put your mind on the problem of which is the best dancing school for her, because the children with whom you want her to associate go there? Girls can't develop socially by them- | selves—that is, successfully. They must have the co-operation of their parents. So often that is lacking. | Mothers and fathers who are willing |to spend hundreds of dollars on | straightening Doris’ teeth, wouldn’t | ! dream of spending just a few of them | on a good dancing school, a pretty | frock and a finger wave occasionally. And yet. in the future, the girl's | choice of friends may prove to be | |every bit as important to her as that | even dental expanse. | | * % * | | T IS really easy to help her on her | way. Make her home so attrac- tive to her friends that they will be | glad to come there. * * That gives her | a position of security and strength in | her group—if she always has to go | to somebody else's house for her fun, | and can never return any of the hos- | pitality shown her—then she loses | ground in her contemporaries’ esti- mation, and becomes a hanger-on, and eater of crumbs from their tables. | Make her own position equal to the rest of the girls in her group, by | letting her extend _invitations along | with the rest of them. Don't dress her expensively—but dress her in the general mode adopted by her friends —nothing is bitterer than the humili- ation of being “different” when you | are young. ! Encourage the boys and girls to! like you and talk to you, so that you may know them fairly well—but be | careful not to “boss” the little gather- | | ings too much. It gives your daughter | |an added sense of security to have to receive with her and “start the ball rolling”"—then your cue is to disappear and let her handle the situation her- | self. | By all means. give the chrysalis all | your help and understanding in the painful process of turning into a but- ‘lerfly! ) | 7, '| Cook’s Corner | | BY MRS ALEXANDER GEORGE. | RINNER FROM LEFTOVERS.

HAT to do with your hair for the new season is a question that has many answers. It is another one of those problems that has to be solved according to the individual, for fortunately in these modern days we do not all slavishly follow every whim of fashion as it is dictated, but use our good judgment to temper it to our individual personality and thereby | gain in added chic. If you go to a good hairdresser and ask him to give you a smart coif- fure he will study the general con- tour of your head and face, taking many things into consideration before | deciding on which of the current hair | dtyles is best suited to you. What sort of hats do you wear, are you 8 woman with busy days and quiet evenings. or | a woman whose calendar shows a series of formal entertainments when the coiffure is a very important mat- ter? These are some of the determin- ing factors in your choice of hair ar- rangement for the Winter. If your hair is not naturally curly, and you do not have a classic pro- file that can stand severely straight hair, the first requisite for a well groomed head is a good permanent wave. tween the short bob that is waved to the nape of the neck, the combi- nation of top wave with ringlet ends, and the newer arrangement of hair brushed back smoothly from the fore- head with a wreath of curls around | the back, for the hair must be cut to the desired shape. And having it shaped by a razor in deft hands is said | Here again you have to choose | before the permanent is given, be- | | top. with a circle of curls around the | back, is borrowed from the Renais- | sance period amd is the perfect com- plement to the Renaissance gown. | A Washington hairdresser is using a coiffure inspired by one of Bot- ticell's angels which you no doubt saw in the large fashion show given last week by a group of Washington shops. The hair parted in the cen- ter, brushed smoothly back and held in place by a rolled bandeau of metallic cloth, or a prystal bandeau | incrusted with brilliants, with a mass | | of short, loose curls all over the back of the head, makes a very charm- ing evening picture and, when worn with a softly draped gown of white chiffon with floating floor-length cape of the same sheer material, makes | it hard to decide which you like best, Botticelli angels, or Greek goddesses. » N P THE photograph at the left above | | shows such a coiffure, which, by ‘the way, is a transformation which | was made in Paris by an outstanding | hairdresser from New York and shown | recently on a model here in connec- tion with a special beauty exhibition. | Such transformations are used a great deal on the Continent by smart women who realize the advantage of a close bob for daytime and a more formal coiffure for evening. Another of the up-to-the-minute coiffures is Grecian in its tendency to brush the curls high off the neck at the back and swirl them toward the left with lots of ringlets on top. An extreme coiffure brushes the hair straight back at the sides, and masses | the curls high over the forehead, as | | satisfactorily around and up from the neck at the back. All of the evening coiffures make luse of jeweled pins, berets, ribbons and flowers. The little stars studded with rhinestones are reminiscent of those early centuries from which we are taking soc many fashion motifs; the Juliet caps are perfectly adorable and New York is all agog over the snood—that wide-meshed net worn on the back of the head. 3 * F YOU are one of those whose hair is half way between permanents, so | that you have trouble with the ends dropping down too low and looking wispy. try the new curle- that requires no heat or water. This sounds impos- sible. but the trick is easy when you know how. To do it you use a new kind of an end curler into which you insert the hair, either wet or dry, and let the metal with spring tension hold it firmly in place so that it may be | rolled from the very end, no matter how wiry the hair. After rolling it you insert a bobby pin from under- neath so that it won't show, then slip | the curler out according to directions, and your little curl is securely pinned | in to stay. If you have dampened the hair first and pinned up fice lmle‘ they will | tight curls to wear all day, be ready to comb out for a looser‘ In| effect in the evening, if desired. this way you need only one or two curlers, a large and a small one, for you slip it out of the curl each time and use it again.

BY ANGELO PATRL “MA SHE gave me a D" “Who gave you a D? How many times have I told you not to speak like that! Call people by their names. She means the cat.” . “Well, that isn't so far wrong. Miss Cary went and gave me a D. I'm just as good as the rest, but she didn’t give them D.” “Maybe they did some work. How you expect to get a high mark for doing nothing is beyond me. Of course, you got D, and that's all you're going to get until you pay for a | higher mark. And just remember that your birthday is coming, and Christ- | mas soon after that, and you’ll get the rewards you earn and pay for. I'm not going to spend money for a D boy. Maybe 25 cents is about his price. For a B boy, or a Grade A boy I'd pay more. Most people would. In fact, most people do. You're going to learn pretty soon that you get nothing for nothing.” Pete pondered that well. Something in his mother's voice, as she called him D boy, made him squirm inside. Grade A milk cost more than B, and | loose milk less than either. Maybe | he wasn't as good as he thought he | was? All day long he went about his | business with that thought haunting him. He was only worth a D, the lowest price the teacher paid any one. The longer he thought about it the madder he got. About 3 o'clock he was boiling over. He stayed behind to speak to the teacher. “Why did you give me D, Miss Clry?" “Because you earned it. You didn’t expect me to pay you for what you | didn't do, did you?” | | “What didn't I do? Didn’t I do my | lesesons? Didn't I study as hard as Mike? You gave him B plus. I'm as smart as he is any day.” “Oh, you're smart enough, Peter. | That's why I wonder at you.

BY ELSIE PIERCE. “’l'HEY'LL be knee length,” a wise blade ventured recently. “Fash- fon is like that—goes ‘round in cir- cles.” Well, fickle as fashion is we doubt whether she will ever go back to the knee-length atrocities. But skirts are shorter and wider in afternoon dresses, and even evening hems are going up a bit. All of which means more of the legs showing, and they had better be beautiful. ‘Whether or not you go in for the new skirt lengths, it isn’t & bad idea to get the legs into shape, because you ean't trust fashion any more than your own whims, and further there’s bathing suit season to think about. A long way off, say you? Mayhap, but leg-shaping takes time and only per- sistent exercise will get them there.

Before your exercise can have any value, however, make sure that you are walking properly in shoes that fit your feet. Good posture makes for grace, for good circulation and pro- portion. Remember that. Do you know that just wiggling your toes and walking around on tip toe (and up the stairs at tip toe) will strengthen the arch, reduce the ankle and make the calf more shapely? The rising on toes exercise and the squatting exercise are as good for the hips as for the calves and ankles. The bicycling exercise is splendid. Don't overdo any of these at first, but work on them gradually. Now try these: Lying on back, slowly raise both legs straight up. Then bend the toes as far forward and down as you can. Next as far back. Repeat a few times. Lying on back or in sitting po- sition, rotate the legs at the ankles. This is a fine exercise and you can do it several times a day. Cross one foot over the other, making imag- inary circles with the free foot. Then see-saw the free foot bending the toe, l Dorothy Men Should Select O marriage such an unpredict- able adventure is that fact that the very qualities that or woman are so often the very ones that prove unendurable to live with and send us to the divorce court. ‘Take helplessness, for instance. Be- fore marriage there is nothing so ap- pealing to a man in a woman as help- lessness. That is why the clinging vine always finds a support. There is something in the spectacle of a woman who doesn’t know what it is all about, and who just sits down and wrings her hands when she encounters any of the practical problems of life that brings out all the chivalry in his na- ture and that makes him feel that it would be just simply heavenly to spend the remainder of his life taking care of the poor little darling and protect- ing her from all the hardships of a cruel world. But after marriage helplessness does not appear to the man to be the car- dinal feminine virtue. It seems about the worst vice. For the husband finds that his clinging vine is not a flowery wreath about his neck. She is a mill- stone.

A certain amount of nervousness accompanies this feeling. Perhaps it’s a longing for something that seems to be passing never to re- turn. Autumnal nostalgia is the name given for this common feeling. I know of no scientific study of this emotional disturbance. We can at best postulate certain theories. But we may be sure that science, which investigates everything, will one day spread its “pure light” over the situa- tion and evolve an explanation. What probable theories might one propose for this perennial feeling? Possibly it is the echo of man's soul as he goes into hibernation. No doubt our faraway ancestors betook them- selves to caves, very much as do the toad, land turtle and woodchuck. ‘They spent the Summer months stor- ing up, within their bodies, energy which under ordinary conditions was calculated to carry them over the Winter. One thing we do know: The mind has to have a body. And the body works automatically. This means that the mind works in automatic sympathy with it. Therefore, we might conclude that autumnal nostalgia is | merely the mental foretaste of a com- | ing period of physical inactivity.
