THE MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, nt Than Traditional Spring Upheaval- - inter Season Emotion Can Leave Deep Impression Young Have Suscep-f tible Minds—Fear Should Be Avoided. BY ANGELO PATRIL 'AT A GATHERING of mothers | somebody put the question, | “What memory of your childhood is | sharpest today?” The answers were of the sort to indicate that fear made the sharpest impression, but carries with it & feeling of helplessness, dis- like, failure. Joy seemed to have made somewhat less of an impression, but its feeling was stimulating, happy and tended toward a will to succeed. Each foremost memory that was vecalled had been accompanied by keen emotion. Deep-rooted fear, anger, hate, belonged in one group, all accompanying unhappy memories. Love, joy, hope, success and its uplift accompanied the other set, all of them happy, stimulating memories. This will prove true of any review of child- hood memories, even memories of & more advanced stage. We remember longest and recall most clearly the event that was accompanied by strong emotion. We can use that basic fact in setting ideas and consequent | habits of behavior. | Inasmuch as fear carries with it | 8 distasteful memory accompanied by dislike, 1t is not the one to use if it ean be avoided. That means, too, that we should try to avoid arousing fear | and anger in children when we are trving to teach them. We want to rear them in health, in strength of spirit. Fear, the poisonous emotion, will not help us to that end. But dove and joy and understanding will | always help. | In this connection I like the story of Mrs. Wesley, the mother of the famous brothers, John and Charles. | She decided that it was time to teach | them the alphabet. She prepared | their minds for a happy event of great importance. Something that would mean great joy to them for all their lives was to come, and soon. When? Next Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, The boys talked about this mys- terious happening, wondering, ques tioning. guessing what it might be. Their mother would only say, “It is very important. It means a great | deal to you 1n the future. On Wednes- day you will know.” Two days, Tuesday, Wednesday— | really only one day—the boys counted. Soon they would know the treat in store for them. Wednesday morning they were up and about early. Their mother, dressed in her best, said they were to wear their best clothes, t0o. ‘Then, in gala attire, by the fireside | in the parlor, the little lads learned their alphabet in two hours. They | remembered that event with reverence and delight all their days. You can judge for yourself whether or not that alphabet meant much to them— | one the hymn writer, the other the great reform preacher. Any lesson driven home in associa- tion with emotion sticks. Be careful about its use. It can bless and it can damn those upon whom its power 1= used. Frighten a child with a dog and he fears dogs forever after. Please him with a dog and he loves them | 85 friends and companions all his life. Teach a school subject in true fashion, enlisting the sympathy and under- standing of the child, and you endow him with knowledge that is power. Present 1t as & hateful task, atcom- panied by deprivation and punish- ment, and you make it a matter of avoidance and loathing ever after. Emotion is the driving force of mem- ory. It is better to reverence it than to abuse it (Copyright, 1936.) Shopping in Washington Fall Reconditioning Health and Beauty. For a smooth, beautiful coiffure such as this, the_ hair should be soft, lustrous and easy to manage. BY MARGARET WARNER. | UMMER'S over, and with a new | season facing us we begin to | take stock of our assets. We | are pretty apt to discover that our hair is on the liability side due to a number of causes, and something should be done about it at once. It may have been to much sunshine and salt water that caused the | trouble, or the aftermath of an un- satisfactory permanent, or just the effects of a hot Summer in the city, but at any rate this is an opportune | time to give it some special care and | get it into lustrous, healthy condi- | tion to meet the new demands of off- the-face hats and intriguing evening coiffures. Let us talk about electricity, for instance, and what it can do in the way of scalp stimulation. One local shop is enthusiastic about it and is getting good results with the latest | type of ultra violet ray treatments. This most modern ray machine is & powerful agent for whipping up the circulation and increasing the flow of blood to the scalp. It is a pure ultra violet ray with no infra red rays and has practically no heat sen- sation. It takes but a few seconds for the application which is used in combination with hand massage and specially prepared scalp tonics. * x x % | important factor and is done in their Summer will be removed.

Now, however, the leaves are very definitely on the turn; the mellow sunlight of Autumn is mild and pleas- ant, and with the first hint of snap in the air bare windows, rugless floors and shrouded sofas seem as out of place as & tennis dress on the street.

REMEMBER that a Fall cleaning is really more important than a Spring cleaning, for houses have either been shut up and neglected or they have been open to the winds of heaven, and their attendant troubles in form of dust, insects, rain spots, etc. It is still a little early to put away the Summer blankets and get out the Winter ones, so we can go into that at a later date. Then, too, will come the turning-out of closets and bureau drawers, adding and subtracting to the wardrobes of the various members of the family.

Shower for Bridegroom Is Unusual But May Be Quite Proper in Some Communities. BY EMILY POST. | l)!:AR. Mrs. Post: Is there any kind i of party given to the bridegrooms | to-be besides a bachelor’s party? Pers ‘somlly, I have never heard of giving a shower for the bridegroom, but I'm | wondering why his friends might noj give such a party for him as well & the bride. What is your opinion? Answer—Ia all the letters I have ever received asking about showers ) t0o, have never heard of giving one for the bridegroom. But since the | giving of a shower is entirely ~ | neighborhood custom, which varies in each community, I can not see why a shower for the bridegroom would be out of order; at least, it doesn't sound | unsuitable to me. * x % ¥ EAR Mrs. Post: You wrote some time ago that it would be especially suitable to give a first-year wedding anniversary couple letter paper with their house address on it. I have im mind a couple who will celebrate theis paper anniversary soon and as theis initials are the same I wondered whether instead of the house address | vou thought it all right to use the* | initials. | Answer—If you use perfectly plain | small block initials, they would be | equally suitable for both husband and | wife. You could. moreover. if you like, | put their initials at the left of the | top of the page and the address at the right. % ®* EAR MRS. POST My youns daughter's awkwardness has caused me no end of embarrassment and expense. Last week she caught her foot in the cord of the lamp and sent it crashing to the floor.

I ean’ replace it with anything that in an, way matches, but what can I do to replace it at all? Answer—The best thing vou can do it seems to me, is to ask your neighbor to go with you and help to choose a lamp to at least take the temporary place of the broken one, explaining tn her that it is, of course, impossible for any one else to choose something that she would like to have in her basket, balker—throw things you don't want away, or give them away if they can be used by some one.

Not school boy and | girl crushes, not passing fancies, not temporary infat- uations, but real, genuine, blown-in- the-bottle love, or what have you? Many people ask this question not only of others but also of their own hearts, and when they find that they‘ are beginning to run a temperature | for the second or third time over some | member of the opposite sex and thrill | at the sound of a foot-step, they are just as surprised as if they had caught | the measles or the whooping eouzh! again. They are pitiably uncertain as | to whether titeir symptoms indicate that they have been stricken down with a fatal attack, or are merely the victims of & slight indisposition from which they will recover in & day or | two and for which they will be none the worse, Naturally when we speculate about how often one can fall in love we have | to consider the type of love under dis- | cussion and also the temperament of | the individual. Undoubtedly there are | men and women who give all that they have of romance and affection to their first loves and thereafter have noth- ing left to give any one. They are| sentimental bankrupts. But it is equally true that there are millions of | other men and women who canfall in love as often as the occasion requlrui and who, if the lips they love are not available, are just as happy kissing other lips that are near. Their hearts are transient hotels in which different | guests continually come and go, and | for whom there is always welcome on the doormat. * % * x TA 8 FOR love, there is the grand passion and there is puppy love. When you have either one you think you will never get over it. Undoubt- | edly those who experience the grand | passion never love but once.

Yet with even fair luck most boys and girls do escape marrying their first, or even their second or third or | fourth loves. As a matter of fact, and it is 8| fortunate thing for us that it is true, great lovers are as rare as great opera | singers. Most of us are mo more | capable of experiencing the grand passion than we are of singing like Caruso. The best that we can do is to pipe along a trifie off key and to make of our little loves comedies and | novelettes instead of tragedies. * x % x ’THUS it becames possible for us to love many times and each time sincerely, and there are many rea- sons for this. One is that we love different people for different reasons. ‘When we are young, for instance, we are ensnared by beauty and gayety. A boy falls in love with a girl be- cause she has a pretty face, or golden hair, or blue eyes. A girl falls in love with ‘a boy because he is tall, dark, handsome and romantic-looking. Boys and girls are sure they are meant for each other because their steps match in the dance. Rarely, it ever, do young people fall in love be- cause of each other's intelligence or characters. But let these first loves come to grief and the boy and girl part lndI become older. When they fall in love | again it is with an entirely different | set of characteristics,. Then what | attracts them is what is under the womans’ golden locks, what's behind the boy's keen line. It is the com- radeship, the liking to do the same things, having the same tastes, the ability to keep each other entertained and amused that makes them fall in love with each other. Ancther reason why we can fall in love more than once is because we change ourselves. As we grow and develop and learn from experience our tastes alter so that those who once appealed to us appeal to us no longer. But we know what we want, and when we find it we set our hearts upon it with a fervor that no boy or girl can feel. And that is what so love.
