Some- body is to blame and it's not the child. | The mother who says, “I can do| this so much better. why bother the| poor child?” is not playing fair. The child needs to wash those dishes: he | needs to find out when they are clean and where they are to be put. He needs that trip to the grocer's so that | he may learn by his own experience how the job should be done. Success gdepends upon the w he learns to| help himself. His very happiness is tied up to that idea. Intelligence does | not come to him, because his mother, | or his father, or his teacher does the | job.

FVERYONE who uses face powder “ realizes that even the most clev- erly contrived packages are apt to g0 awry after a few weeks use. The powder gets soiled from too much dressing table drawer or the box grows limp and discolored. You have two recourses. Pour your powder into & special jar or use it from a silken | pouch. One of our manufacturers of lovely face powder has been clever enough to contrive a way for you to do both of these things with their beautifully arranged face powder de luxe. In a French crystal bowl, copied from an objet d'art, rests a satin pouch with draw string opening. Loosen the string, release the powder, dip in the puff, touch your face, draw the string tight and have your powder problem well under control! no soiled bureau and a face powder that will never grow less fragrant or less lovely from the day you buy it. Incidentally you can use the bowl for- ever after and place it on display with pride.

KRA, according to our market observations, is plentiful, in- expensive, and at its best right now. This vegetable is not so well known in this part of the country as it should be. Long a dietary standby of the deep South, okra has been only timidly received in the North, and is graduelly coming into its own here in Washington. It is really such & delicious food, and may be used in such a variety of ways that it seems A pity it is not seen more frequently on tables here in the District. Al housewives who perpetually seek new additions to the daily menus should take the humble okra into consideration, and plan to include it more often im the family meals. South Carolina has a particular | fondness for okra, and there is a story in that section that it is one of the few vegetables brought from Africa. They also say that the words “okra” and “buckra” (meaning white man) are among the very few original African words preserved in that part of the South. In Charleston, okra is prepared as a | vegetable in the following manner: Wash a quart of young, tender okra | well in cold water. Put in a saucepan with one teaspoon of salt in a little water, and cook for 30 minutes. Re- move from the pot, scason with half a tablespoon lemon juice and black pepper. Last, add one tablespoon butter and serve hot. * K K X ANOTHBR dish, which is popular for luncheons, in New Orleans and in | Charleston, is | OKRA PILAF. | 3 slices bacon, diced 1 cup rice | 1 cup okra | 2 cups water, Brown the bits of bacon and remove from the fat. Cut the okra small, and fry in the bacon drippings until the okra stops stringing. Be careful not to burn the okra during the process. Add the rice and the cold water, and steam until done—about three-quarters of an hour. Add the diced bacon and serve very hot. Tomato sauce may be | added if desired. In New Orleans there is a wonder- ful soup, for which a certain restau- rant is famous.

BY ELSIE PIERCE. Y'OU can't think of the Renaissance influence on modern fashions without realizing the influence that velvet has. It is part and parcel of the most glorious fashions of today, just as it was in the wealthiest era of Italy. But the velvet influence doesn’t end with the gown. It eme braces beauty as well as fashion. The skin men talk about and women secretly envy is like velvet. The hands that are a pleasure to hold are velvety soft.

This specialist real- ized that the eyes—the most expressive and magnetic of the features—were the first to give warning that beauty was on the wane. Subjected to the demands of modern life, irritated by sun, wind and dust, strained by bril- liant lights, the eyes are all too often neglected, and so she set to work to provide an easy and soothing method of caring for them each night.

They want | | their children to marry. They look | forward to their children’s marriages. | Yet not one American father and mother in a hundred make any pro- visions for their children’s marriages, or do anything to make it possible for them to marry under conditions that will help to make their marriages successes. American parents are overindulgent to their children so long as they stay at home. They lavish upon them fine clothes and sport cars, but they do not put aside for a gir! any dowry that will help her finance her mar- | riage to the worthy young man she | loves who is just beginning to climb | the ladder and who cannot take upon | his back a wife who will be a burden | to him. Many an American girl goes to her husband without a penny in her pocket. Her whole assets consist of nothing but a costly trousseau of use- less finery that she would gladly trade off for a $10-a-month allowance from Papa. * ok ok ok OR do many parents consider it any part of their obligation to help their sons through those first trying years of marriage when the young husband is finding out to his dismay what an expensive luxury a wife is, and how short a way the salary that was big enough for one goes when you have to stretch it over two or three or more. Thousands upon thousands of divorces would be pre- vented if only parents felt that when they cultivated crepe de chine tastes in a girl they should supply it and not expect the poor young man she married to do it, and if they would sweeten the matrimonial cup that their sons are beginning to get a dis- taste for by dropping a little sugar in it. ‘The argument then is that parents, knowing that their children will some day want to marry, should save up something to finance that, just as they put aside money to send them to col- lege, and that after they are married tious house, or do without a new car | in order that Mary may marry that young Jones she is so crazy about is | because they have passed the senti- mental age, and love’s young dream doesn’t seem as important to them as their own comfort They don't regard it as vital Eu!i in this they are wrong. It is their; children’s whole life. their whole well- being that is at stake, and the most important thing in the world to them is that they should marry while they | are still young and capable of a ro- mantic love. Furthermore, in financing their | children’s marriages to the right men | and women, parents are making the | best investment in the world.

Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Civilization. THERE is much talk these days about civilization. We have had the habit of boasting alout the prog- ress of the human race. Lately you | hear mumblings to the effect that this | boasting is premature. Some few of the more pessimistic mumblers actu- ally believe that civilization is on the decline and that we are in for a long slump. Of course, all believe that we will rise again. The history of evo- lution is generally upward, but al- ways with its ups and downs. Most of these rumblings come from histo- rians and social psychologists. There is another group of scientists known as endocrinologists (gland spe- clalists), who hold that civilization will not go forward until we know all about the glands of internal se- cretion. Their claim is that the hu- man being is a chemical machine and | nothing more. They &l admit that | human chemistry adequate for the sal- vation of the race is largely unknown. Perhaps the endocrinologists will be | obliged to work for a few hundred years. Then their knowledge will be | sufficient to make out a prescription for the breeding and rearing of a| person capable of carrying the burden ‘ of civilization.
