B—12 WOMEN’ Approach of Thanksgiving Giv Orderliness In Thought And Action| Order and Orders, Two Requisites in Discipline. BY ANGELO PATRL IFE, higgledy-piggledy though it might seem on the surface, is an ordered process. It is based on eternal principles, governed by eternal forces. Its laws are immutable. It throbs in unending rhythm. A successful | life depends upon the power of the individual to live in harmony with | these forces. We call that ability the power of adaptation. } Children are strangers in this world, | totally ignorant of the simplest truths | concerning it. They must be trained | and taught to adapt themselves, and | their first lesson is also the last one: | Order, behavior, which harmonizes | with order, is right behavior. EX-| perience teaches the child this basic | truth. It is our duty to so present | that truth that he accepts it gladly | and makes it part of his life’s pat- | tern. | Little children lend themselves to this teaching readily. Their minds | respond to the appeal of order. They like order and dislike any form of | disorder. They like to be told exactly | what to do, how to do it and when to do it by some one who knows what he is talking about. That is why children thrive better to well- ordered homes than they do in dis- ordered, inharmonious homes. That is why pupils like the teacher who knows what she wants done, orders | it done in sure, firm tones, and sees | | | her orders carried through. A good disciplinarian, in other words, appeals to the children, provided she is just and truly kind. Some parents and a few teachers | make the mistake of sugaring life | for the little children. Children do | not want that sort of thing. They | want to be spoken to as responsible | people whose behavior is important. | They prefer, “Stand! Face! March!” to “Now children, we will stand. Are you ready, dear? mother’s sharp “Stop that!"” to the new dress.” | Little children need to learn to obey | unquestioningly. They need to learn | that obedience brings them security | and happiness. They need to learn | that there are immovable forces in | life that say must, and adjust their | ways accordingly. So they learn| order and the meaning of orders. All | this training can be done in the years | before school, functioned in the first | two years of school, gradually merged into the child's own acceptance of social living and self-control. But if this span of life passes with- out that training and adaptation it will be almost impossible to make up for it later. The time for accepting order and orders soon passes. The self of the child, his will and purpose, assert themselves, and because they know no must, because they know nothing about order and the necessity for obeying the eternal forces that govern life on this world, they spend years of pain and frustration. Many a case of hysteria, nervous collapse, failure in school and college could have been avoided if the child had been trained to live within the ordered scheme set for him in the beginning. Teach order at the time when it is most acceptable to a child and it will strengthen him to the end of his days. (Copyright. 1035.) My Neighbor Says: Turning the mattress under 2 person who cannot get out of bed may sound difficult. if not impossible, but it is easily done. Draw the mattress well to the side of the bed, leaving bare a strip of the wire spring. Upon this place three or four pillows in a straight line parallel with the mattress. Drawing carefuily upon the sheet on which the patient lies he may be transferred to the pillows while the mattress is turned. Care must be taken to avoid opening the oven door for five minutes after cake has been placed in the oven. When re- moving cake or drawing it to the front to see if it is baked evenly, be very careful, as the least jar may cause the cake to lose its lightness. (Copyright. 1035.) | exhausting S FEATURES.

This makes you hesitate again. But cheer up, for it is no longer necessary to go through with this process to secure a perma- nent wave. It is now being done most | successfully by the machineless method, | which is a wonderful achievement in | the permanent-waving field. To the | modern woman it is one of the most | significant advances of the age. No electricity and no machine are wel- come words to hear in connection with your new wave, and when you ‘add that this process leaves the hair soft and lustrous in addition, you have | a combination that could hardly be | improved upon. | * x K ok ;WE will speak first of the method | of procedure and then of the many advantages to be gained through its use. The three steps in the machineless method are amazingly simple. The hair is wound on a curler in the usual manner. It is then wet with a special solution containing oil and each curl wrapped in a soft vapet, or sachet. The loose, absorbent flap attached to the vapet is dipped in water and pressed firmly over the pad. Grad- | ually the clean, colorless vapor devel- ops within the vapet. The tempera- ture rises to a precisely controlled | point and diminishes automatically. So gentle is the action of the vapor that the sensitive hair structure is faithfully preserved. By the time the last pad has been applied, the first vapets have treated the hair and are removed. That is the story, and your hair is all waved and all ready for a smart new arrangement. Instead of the electric heat being turned on your head for a number of minutes, you see a little puff of steam rising from the individual vapets as soon as they are wrapped around the rods, then they begin to cool off, so that a portion of the hair is done at a time. If you have a telephone call in the midst of the process you may get up and answer it without the slightest difficulty. Isn't that an innovation in permanent waving? This idea of finishing a portion of Houstyow As ‘There's one sure way to win a little girl's heart—give her a baby doll! It’s always a favorite.

This method will not change the color of auburn hair, so hard to take a satisfactory permanent, nor will it turn white hair yellow. It is also used on baby-fine hair, which is the most difficult to wave. | * % ok X | "THE SHOP that is so enthusiastic about these waves has both a downtown and an uptown salon, both beautifully equipped and conducted in that quiet, courteous manner that more and more people are demanding when they go in search of beauty | service.

Dear Mrs. Post: I went to see a neighbor’s wedding presents the other | day and was amazed to find that the | | cards with each had been left intact. Since this family has always seemed to have such good taste, I'm wonder- ing whether I've been wrong in think- ing cards should always be removed. Answer—It is in perfectly good taste and has always been customary among people of great social promi- nence to leave cards on, since the bride who receives many presents can save herself and members of her family the tiring process of repeating constantly who gave this and who gave that. But when a bride prefers not to “label” the givers it is equally proper to take all the cards off. As a matter of fact, when a wedding is very small and the presents are from intimate friends only—and espe- cially when very personal messages are written on the cards—they are usually taken off. * kX % Dear Mrs. Post: My sister is going to be married in traveling clothes in the presence of thé immediate families and a few friends. I'm going to stand with her during the ceremony and will also wear a suit. We are going to pin on a few gay flowers but won- dered whether (1) we should carry our bags and wear gloves; (2) if so, should my sister’s left glove be ripped. Answer—(1) It is much more im- portant to wear gloves with street clothes than with indoor clothes— obviously. Carrying bags would be not only suitable but give you some- thing to “do with your hands"—al- ‘ways easier than walking with noth- ing to hold. (2) It is only a very long and tight-fitting glove that has its finger ripped. A short glove should be pulled off and handed (with her wrist bag) to you during the cere- mony. After the ceremony she carries both—or possibly, if the glove is loose and buttonless, pulls it on. (Copyright, 1935, by Emily Post.)

A questionnaire has been prepared by prominent educators and sociol- ogists who will ask hundreds of thou- sands of men and women: What is the ;best age for marriage? Do children | make for more happy and successful marriages? Should a wife continue as a wage earner after marriage? | Would more liberal and universal di- vorce laws make for more happy and | successful marriages?

There is no such thing as an | ideal marriage any more than there is any other perfect condition in life, and it is because people look for the im- possible that they are so often dis- | appointed in marriage. Marriage is | give and take. It is work and sacri- fice and unselfishness. It is putting another’s good and happiness before one’s own.. Those who are willing to | do this make a success of marriage. The others fail. * ok x % Second. The best age for marriage is in the 20s. the nearer 30 the bet- ter. Three-fourths of the letters I get from disgruntled husbands and wives say that they married when they were too young, before their own characters were formed and their tastes settled, or they had had any playtime in life. One grew up and the other stayed put, so by the time they were middle aged they bored each other stiff. Those who have never had ‘their fill of romance in their teens craved it so much that they stole it in their 40s. When a fat, grizzle- haired woman gets into a scandal with a gigolo, or a bald-headed, bay- windowed grandpa falls for a flapper, you will almost invariably find that she or he married when he or she was a mere girl or boy. * ok ok ok 'TH!RD. Children are a bond that draws many husbands and wives closer together, but they are a wedge that separates as many others. Thou- sands of married couples who would otherwise part, remain together be- cause of their scise of duty to their children, but this enforced companion- ship does not make for happiness. A woman’s absorption in her children and her ceasing to cater to her hus- band and make him the main interest of her life sets more men to roaming than anything else. If the real co- respondent were named in most divorce cases it would be junior. Fourth. Whether a wife should continue a wage-earner after mar- riage or not depends upon how much & couple needs the money. Often the wife’'s 1 . envelope makes marriage possible and happy. Generally speak- ing, however, the marriages are more successful when the man brings home the bacon and the wife stays at home and fries it. Fifth. The divorce laws are lax enough. They need to be overhauled and made saner, but not more liberal. * x kX SIXTH. The characteristics that & man and woman should have to make marriage a success are an af- fectionate nature, a sense of respon- sibility and duty, loyalty, hard horse se~se, justice, sportsmanship and a sense of humor. Seventh. A bridal couple might well pray with the psalmist, “Give me neither poverty nor riches.” Too much money or too little will wreck a marriage. The voice of the siren and the howl of the wolf at the door are equally potent in driving happiness away from a home. . But try out this questionnaire on your own piano. It is good, clean fun and may help you to find out why your marriage is as it is. DOROTHY DIX. $CeprTighi. 10354 deep purple, with fuchsia and yellow lines.

Running a close second in my affec- tions is the nourishing cream and as- tringent combination, the latter patted right over the cream with a large pad of cotton. The cream off« sets any drying effect of the astrin- gent, and the astringent penetrates right through the cream and does its important youthifying and firming job. Two rouges have long been recog- | nized as better than one. As the cold weather approaches, they become ine creasingly popular. The one, as you have guessed, is the cream rouge, and the other the cake or compact variety. | The cream rouge is blended over a foundation. It should be applied over {the “key” area, where the natural | color usually is. and the edges should be blended until they are completely imperceptible, a really gradual, beau- tiful fade-away. The cream rouge goes on over the foundation and be- fore the powder. The dry rouge is used (and just a little of it. of course) to accent the color. Needless to say, they must belong to the same color family. The latest twin (and it seems to be causing as much ado as the famous quintuplets) is two powders. First you apply the one powder and over it the twin. The result—if you have | things quite right—should be an ex- quisite, semi-translucent complexion, | delicate as a cameo. This gives the skin a sheen (not a shine, mind you) like porcelain, lending an illusion of depth to the complexion.
