Begin Sunday Dinner With Mushroom Broth, Slim Figure Is Fashion Children Parents Must Take a Stand or Disaster Sure to Follow. BY ANGELO PATRIL [0 MANY young people the desire to do something that is not ac- ceptable to other people is of first importance. a sufficient reason for the act. “I want to.” is all that seems to enter their minds. What other folk may want, what reasons other people may have for objecting to their action, the possible conse- quences of their having their un thinking way are not considered. want to,” is enough Unfortunately, it is not enough for those who have to suffer the conse- quences of heedless action. When a young person takes out the family car and runs into the stone wall, father has to pay the bills. Father and mother have to suffer the nerve- wracking distress that such adven- tures impose. The fact that the heady young person enjoved his brief dom- ination helps less than he imagined. Daughter decides under the excite- ment of a talking visitor to her school that she wants to go abroad tomorrow, to see and to be seen in the cities of ancient glory. “It's perfectly simple. You just take your bag and go. That's all there is to it. Don't be such an old fogy. Thousands of girls are doing it.” Or she decides most emphatically that hereafter she is not going to sub- mit to having her engagements su- pervised. She is going to go on her own! She is old enough. Seventeen Goodness, her grandmother was mar- ried at that time. Cigarettes rest one. The ads say so. You can't go any- where without drinking a cocktail or two. It's perfectly all right. Tt is all very clear to these blind children. It is equally clear to the clear-seeing father and mother. But what are they to do? If they exert their authority there is a scene, threats to run away, reprisals in the form of sulks, doors banged. refusal to come to the table, tears and tantrums. Well, better that than some other things. Children never grow up without causing anxiety to their parents. Some trouble must be expected and accept- ed because the children are people trying to develop and express indi- Vidual power. Any expression of in- dividual power in any group causes friction if not resentment. The fam- dy want their children to develop Heir power, they want them to ex- press it, but they also want some de- #ree of happiness. some degree of self~ expression in their own lives. That means that both sides have rights to be respected. When & young person wilfully an- nounces, “I want t0,” when other peo- ple must suffer the consequences of their wilfulness, the only way out is to say very firmly, and mean it, “But you can't, because I will not let vou." Take that stand and see the thing through. There is certain to be trouble whichever way the deci- &ion goes, and the least of it lies in following the decree of experience, Mr. Patrl has prepared a leaflet entitled, “Trouble With Number Ta- bles,” in which he explains an easy way to help children improve in arith- metic. Send for it, addressing your request to Mr. Angelo Patri, Child Psychology Department of this pa- per. Inclose a self-addressed, stamped (3-cent) envelope. (Copyright, 1037.)

Powdered borax added to the water when washing fine white flannel helps to keep them soft. A saucerful of quick lime, placed in a damp closet or cup- board, will absorb all dampness.

From the crownless crepe turbans of the Summer to the turban of black | velvet is a natural transition. But | the velvet turban will, in most cases, bow or other ornamentation, or it will have added to it a brim that rolls back off the face and is wider at the sides. This gives a youthful line and frames the face becomingly. The small tur- ban often adopts the fez shape that is worn pushed back from the forehead and rises high. It is used with or without a veil. The afternoon models may have folded bands of satin around the hair line to give a softer effect and veils are very important in these dressier types. long, reaching almost to the waistline. * x oK % "[HE beret is one of the most pop- | ular Fall styles.

Another black afternoon hat had an ornamental clip of moonstone blue, which was shown with doeskin gloves in the same soft blue. These colored | accents with black are going to be | fascinating. One of the most recent creations of | Lilly Dache is an enchanting black | felt halo with a scroll trim of gold kid which encircles the hair. With this are worn gold kid gloves, making a perfectly stunning ensemble with a smart black frock. Ostrich feathers appear on many lit- | tle afternoon hats. The small Watteau hat that tips forward often has an| ostrich feather curling under the brim | at the back. We found one of these in a copy of a Rose Descat hat, and at a very moderate price, too. While in New York recently one of these hats was shown us in wine red, worn with a wine red afternoon ensemble that used bands of self-colored ostrich feathers to outline the front panel of the skirt. ‘The “don’t dress for dinner” hat oc- cupies an important place in next sea- son’s showings, and one of the most delightful examples is a moderately high, very supple-pointed cap of 1900 old rose velvet, embroidered all over with gold, coral and turquoise. With this is shown a corselet belt in the same colors to be worn with an all- black gown. Gold brocade is another means of developing this same theme, sometimes with a matching handbag.

Manners of the Moment COUNTRY week ends are all very well, until the sticky-eyed pre- breakfast line-up for the one and only hath room comes around. Then a guest has something to worry about. Should he, he wonders, boldly stand in line in front of the bath room door, towel and tooth brush in hand, waiting for his tum? Or should he hide behind his own bed room door, taking surreptitious peeks ‘through the keyhole to see when he can make & successful slide to base? A girl who doesn’t like her friends to see her before she has washed her face of a morning is going to choose the peek and slide method. But she must reconcile herself either to get- ting up with the chickens or to being late for breakfast. ‘We're inclined to think the straight- forward line-up down the hall is the most sensible. It serves to remind the current occupant of the bath | room that she doesn't have all day for | her shower bath, and that her mani- cure might just as well wait. And then, of course, for nature lovers, there's still the old spring down in the hollow. If a few of the guests would take their towels and tooth brushes down there, it would relieve the pressure on the family wash bowl. And think how nice it will sound when they get back to town and say, “We washed our faces in the spring. Coprrisht, 1037.)

From far and wide throughout the country come the delicacies for Washington tables. Yellow and red and purple plums, nectarines, translucent seedless grapes, melons of all kinds, fresh figs, oranges, limes, red and yellow bananas—the list seems almost endless. Everything seems extra fine, this year, and, for« the most part, very reasonably priced. The same holds true of the vege- tables—although most of the mar- kets here now are . featuring local produce, that is especially good because it does not have far to travel after being picked. Lima beans, okra, egg- plant, string beans, peppers, celery, cucumbers and tomatoes— all come from nearby truck gardens. They are lower in price than they have been, and are of excellent quality. Tart apples. new sweet potatoes, and all the other favorites are, of course, also with us. iA. Betsy Caswell ‘The meat situation continues poor— although” slightly improved over re- cent wecks.

Dix Says Here Are a Few Tips on How to Select the Girl You Are give him a few tips about how to pick out a wife. A when you select the woman with whom you expect to spend the next 30 or 40 years, use both your heart | and your head, the whtle you keep your | fingers crossed for luck. You will need them all and a kiss from your guar- dian angel thrown in for good meas- ure, for marriage is a gamble that makes roulette and all other games of chance look like sure things. Of course, every man's dream wife is a woman who both comes up to his ideal and fires his fancy, but, alas and alack, these paragons are as scarce as hen’s teeth. If you must choose be- tween a girl who is a concatenation of all the virtues, but who makes you tired, and one who has a thou- sand faults mixed up with a thousand thrills, take the thriller. Don't marry any woman who doesn't raise your temperature and set your pulses rac- ing. Men need to be crazily in love when they marry, because the condi- tions of life constantly decrease their capital of romance and sentiment, so if they make the grade they must start out under full steam. * ok kX ON'T let your mother, your sis- ters or your friends pick out your wife for you. Marriage is the most intensely personal thing on earth, and husbands and wives purely a matter of taste. Mother is perfectly sure that you would be happy if you mar- ried the nice little girl across the street who has a tidy fortune and makes such good angel's food and is kind to her mother, and that you would bring misery on yourself if you married that little flibbertygibbet who can't boil water without scorching it and who hasn't a penny to her name. But if you let mother dump her choice on you, you will be philander- ing within a year. Marriage is for & long time, and it seems longer if you have to spend it with a wife who gets on your nerves and bores you to tears. ‘Take as much time and give as much intelligence to selecting your wife as you would & new automobile. If you were buying & car you would consider first what kind of a car you needed. You wouldn't buy a sport roadster if you needed a truck in your business. You wouldn’t buy a Rolls Royce if all you could afford was a flivver. ‘You would consider the upkeep. You wouldn’t buy a car just because it had pretty upholstery, tricky gadgets, shiny new paint and streamlined effects. You would look at the engine and note how strongly the car was built, and you would lay particular stress on the reliability of the manu- facturer. * ok % WELL, use the same care in pick- ing out your wife as you would in selecting your car. Don’t marry a girl who is nothing but a living picture when what you need is a good working partner. Don’t pick out a clothes horse who will keep your nose to the grindstone as long as you live to pay her bills. Don't marry a girl who has nmothing but s pretty face to recommend her. Don'y marry YOUNG man asks me if T will | Well, son, | Going to Marry. a girl who is made of shoddy material | and who will break down as soon as the strain of life comes upon her. Don't marry a girl who doesn't come of decent, honest, respectable people. | The maker's name is as good a guarantee on a girl as it is on a car. Pick out a girl who has good, hard, horse sense. That is about the most useful commodity in marriage and will go farther than any other one thing toward making it a success. The woman who has that never makes the sentimental fool wife who weeps because her hard-worked, hard-driven husband doesn’t spend his time mak- ing love to her and telling her how beautiful and wonderful she is. Nor does she develop into the hysterical nagger who considers herself a martyr because she has to keep house and bear children. 8o look out for what is under the finger wave of any girl who has caught your eye. If there is plenty of gray matter there she will make a responsible wife who will take mar- riage on the chin, so to speak, and who will not expect too much of you. Above all, pick out a cheerful, good- natured girl for a wife. When all is said your wife's disposition is going to make or mar your marriage. If you select one who is amiable and sweet and pleasant to live with, you will have the wife of the Scriptures, whose price was above rubies. DOROTHY DIX, (Copyright, 1927.) How to Use Paraffin. Paraffin used for sealing jellies should be *smoking” hot, since it sterilizes as well as seals. Tilt the glass in order that the melted parafin may form a seal around the side of the glass as well as a covering for the top. To Whip Cream One-fourth teaspoon lemon juice added to each cup of heavy cream will hasten the whipping. Have cream and utensils thoroughly chilled to prevent the mixture from turning to butter. This is particularly impor- tant in Summer. The OId Gardener Says: An easy and effective method for eradicating crab or Summer grass from lawns is to cover the area with tar paper during the hot days of Midsummer or early Fall. The covering is left on from four to seven days. The effect seems to be that of scalding due of the confined heat on the moisture in the blades of grass. If only a little crab grass is to be found in the lawn, it can be dug out or gradually killed out by promoting a heavy growth of grass with fertilizers and by pre- venting the formation of seeds. It is & good plan to rake the lawn before mowing so that the crab grass will stand straighter and will be cut by the mower blades.

Right through the ages that middie~ aged spread has been handled down. It was all right for grandmother to 8it by the fire and knit. The spread gradually accumulated from the site ting.

Firm and pr portion are two important factc with good posture keeping both well controlled. Business women who sit at their desks all day and have little oppore tunity to exercise have more of a hip problem than women in the home, who can get about if they like round of golf, walk, exercise. S women should stand as much as they can, walk, pick up their own papers instead of having the office boy dn it.
