-B—8 Oyster Crabs Shopping in Washington || Tiny The First Warnings About Fire Explain Liabilities of Matches Firmly, but Calmly. BY ANGELO PATRI. CH!’LDREN. like all other people, love fire. They love to see its flaming color, watch its uprising waves of light and the soft smoke that curls about it. Something glad and wild and primitive rises in us, all of us, at the sight of flames soaring toward the sky. Children, having lit- tle or no understanding of the danger of fire, want to play with it. This is true of all children. Very young ones, those about 3 years old, out to learn all they can of the world about them, discover that matches are fire. They like to feel able to bring that lovely jumping flame out of the little stick, and the first chance they _get they try it. Everybody about them ‘uses matches; they want to share in ‘the general activity. Not understand- ing the rules, not knowing there are any, they take a box of matches and begin. This frightens people terribly. Children are likely to set fire to them- selves, to others, and to the property of others. Unless they can be trained to leave fire alone their lives will be in danger and the people about them ere going to live under a terror that is unbearable. Mothers think about all this in the first flash of the match, and unless they have prepared them= selves for this moment they are likely to do more harm than good in their effort to discourage the new game. Try not to scream. Move gently toward the child, and if possible stand by while the match flickers out, in safety. Take the box of matches away and say something to the effect that, *You should not take matches to play with, child. Nobody plays with atches because they make fires and fires are very dangerous. want to light a match ask me about it, and I'll stand by to see that noth- ing dangerous comes of it. Will you do that?” The calm reasoning tone will im- press the usual child with the idea that this is just another one of those ‘things that a person likes to do and mustn't—just because. Children ac- cept that idea to a great degree, which 15 what makes them as obedient as they are. The one thing to remem- ber is to keep one’s head when this fire situation arises. Children will soon forget the for- bidden thing if their attention has been directed to different and quite as dramatic things. Now there are few things as dramatic as fire, so we have to be specially on guard when redi- recting the children’s minds. Offer an immediate, happy and, if possible, rare experience. Show no fear, no anger; use no severity with the child. Remove the matches, put out the fire, calmly, and occupy him immediately. If you make & great commotion you fix his mind on the wrong idea. This fire love will pass in good time if you are careful not to deepen it by sur- rounding it with drama of your own making.

It may be massaged well into the skin, especially where there is roughness from chapping or ten- derness from any strenuous exer- cise. The oil penetrates the skin, so that even after you have enjoyed your hot bath some of the softening quali- ties will remain. Either or both of these are pretty handy to have at this season. In fact, there are a number of splendid pine oils for the bath that will prove most satisfac- tory.

To make them go farther, and to bring out their delicate flavor, they are usually served with , or glorified potato baskets, or in some elaborate | and wonderful way destgned by a mas- | ter chef. Gone are the days when they casually emerged from the soup tureen. They have gone up in the world, and now breathe the rarified atmosphere of the haut monde. * ok X X OWEVER, due to a fluke of‘; weather or something, local fish | dealers report a goodly number of shipments recently of the little crabs and their inseparable pals, White- bait. This means that for the time being, anyway, the duo will be within | the reach of the average budget, and for those of you who will be interested in seizing this opportunity for making | their acquaintance, or renewing an old friendship, I am including some recipes for their preparation in the column for today. WHITEBAIT. | This is a rather difficult fish to prepare, so we shall attend to it before going on to the oyster crabs | and fancy combination dishes. | ‘Wash the little fish thoroughly and | dry carefully in a clean cloth. Shake | the cloth gently up and down to re- | move all trace of moisture. Place the set in ice box until just before fish are to be fried. Dry again in a cloth. Place in another cloth (dry) and sprinkle lightly with pepper, flour and salt. Shake up and down so that the whitebait are evenly covered. Place in & frying basket with very (370 degrees) and cook for three to five minutes, depending on their size. Shake continually during the frying | process. Drain on paper and serve | | immediately, either with the oyster | crabs or alone with tartare sauce, | A hand lotion with a medicated oil | | base is a good one to use frequently | on the rough spots, or better still, to | keep those spots from becoming rough! | use. In the same category is an ex- | cellent skin balm, milky and white | | and slightly bleaching, which is noted | for keeping its good qualities to the | ilun drop, and does not turn rancid from standing on the shelf in a warm room. This balm is very successful as 8 heel and ankle smoother and has proved its worth for a number of seasons. * %k k X ,MANY people prefer creams to lo- tions for the hands and some people with particularly dry hands like to use both, particularly at night. Creams are usually more penetrating and many manufacturers of hand lotions also make hand creams. One of the most satisfactory hand creams that we have discovered is one that ands, and comes with its own kind of soap and gloves to help along the good cause. However, the cream may, of course, be purchased separately and is wonderful to use at night in addition to your regular hand lotion that you use every time you wash your hands. Instead of being pink, or white, this cream is pale green, just to be different, or perhaps on account of one of its ingredients. Another well-liked hand cream that comes in a tube has been mentioned before in this column, and deserves & repeat. That is the one that con- tains lemon oil with its bleaching qualities, as well as its soothing prop- erties. It confines itself to one shop, but has & large and enthusiastic fol- lowing nevertheless. * ok x x ON'E of the most amusing things that we have discovered while making the rounds of the cosmetic departments is that they have now extended their clientele to include milady’s pets on leash. Quite startling is & new eau de toilette intended only for the freshly shampooed canine! But why not? It is quite intriguing from its fanciful dog-house box of white with high sloping red roof, to the nice pungent smell of the toilet water itself. It has a good, clean, wholesome odor, much better than dog soap. Even fussy little Peke herself could not possibly object to it, and for larger members of the well-bred canine family it might be a real bless- ing. So it has come to this, that we even have perfumes for our pets! ‘What will we be having next?

If all the ugly ducklings ; reared a monument sky high to Wally, it would no more than repay the gratitude they owe her. For here is a woman who is middle- aged and who even in her girlhood was never more than “nice” looking, yet the fairy prince of modern times passed by all the rosebud garden of girls to pluck this more mature flower to wear in his buttonhole. All the beauties of the world flashed their bright eyes and flaunted their pulchri- tude before him in vain. He passed up the good-lookers for the one who was & good talker and kept him in- terested and amused. We have been so long accustomed to thinking that women'’s chief attrac- tion for men is youth and beauty that it has rather stunned us to find out that a nimble tongue can be as valuable an asset as a peaches-and- cream complexion or naturally wavy hair. Yet this need not have surprised us, for if we had observed more closely we would have noticed that while men rave over “Miss America” or “Miss Europe” and cast bouquets at her feet, they are loath about offering her a wedding ring, and that a plain- faced girl with the come-hither look in her eye and a way with her can marry in circles around a living pic- ture, if she has no other attribute than just being & household ornament. * kX % A!BO,ltwouldbebamemupon us that the women we have known whose husbands were still in love with them at 50 had not held them by keeping a boyish figure, or having their faces lifted and their hair dyed and looking like flappers,.but by being | jolly good companions who were sympathetic and understanding, and had the knack of cheering & man up and making him forget his troubles at the end of a worrisome day. of all-white peau d'ange in a Chantilly pattern for the bride.

The girl who can keep a conversa- tion going and who always has some- thing bright and funny to say; the girl from whose lips laughter bubbles as spontaneously as water from a spring: the girl who always says the right thing to the right man—asks ‘Tom about his new automobile, John about the grocery trade and Sam about his golf score; the girl who has the trick of getting every man started on the topic of most interest to him and who listens with a rapt expression while he discourses about his hobbies or his business, has what it takes to make a hit with men. * k% % Cumrm.mss. intelligence, in- tuition, tact, subtle flattery are the lethal weapons in s woman's armory of charms. If she has these, she is sure of getting her man and her looks do not matter. She must be gay, for men crave laughter. She must be interesting to talk to. She must know instinctively when to let & man weep on her shoulder and when ‘to buck him up. She must know how to rub his fur the right way, and she must make him feel that he is w-o-n- d-e- -l—a happy combination of Henry Ford, Clark Gable and Gene Tunney— and that she is the only ‘woman who ever really understood and appreciated him.

Manners of the Moment ' Iwsiens oo et s It’s hard to look dignified with a dog’s leash wrapped around your skirt. OP COURSE, it always happens when you are all tangled up in little Spotty's leash- the haughtiest lady of your acquaintance comes sail= ing by, and you must rise from your game of which-way-does-it-go and look dignified. It's very hard. Some girls would act, caught in & situation like that, as though they'd just been stealing candy from the corner store. Other girls would so concentrate on untangling themselves from the dog that they would forget to make pleas- antries with the haughty lady. And that would -be disastsous if the lady's continued favor were important. The most integrated people we know would probably rise up, tangles and all, and act just as though it were a lovely day and there were no dog within a mile to trouble their composure. They would be neither embarrassed nor discourteous. The best way to make yourself behave like them is to picture your haughty friend in the same predicament. That ought to make you feel superior.
