OUR CHILDREN By Angelo Patri

because we are not certain that what
we tell them is best for them. We
have to think little before we speak,
and thinking hurts us SO. But 1t is
the thinking before the speaking that
Will give US the courage to deal wisely
with our children. For there Is a
time when we must say mo" and
when we must say yes"
In the quarter century that I have
lived and worked with children,
have never found a good reason for
disregarding any one Of the Ten
Commandments. The further along
the road I travel with the youth of
the country the surer am that these
10 rules hold good, the more con.
WINGED I am that any turning from
them results In misery for the one
who turned away.
1t takes courage these days to hold
fast to what we have proven in our
own lives. It takes lot Of character
to say to the child in your own house,
II know this to be wrong, and so dc
you If you will think about it. It is
selfish indulgence and you will surely
pay bitterly for 1t in the end. It Is
not to be done. I will not allow It,"
Yet it is just this courage that holds
children to their fathers and mothers
The wise parent has trained his child
up so that he has regard for his
seldom uttered word. This child
though rebellious enough in spirit. has
faith in the courage and character OF
his parents to follow them, though
grudgingly, in the manner Of youth.

White Is Favorite for Evening
BY MARY MARSHALL.

the more willingly she may wear one

gowns.
Whether white especially becomes
you or not, you cannot go far wrong
to wear white for evening this Sum-
mer. I have seen a number OF very
smart black evening frocks this Sum-
mer. but just at present the black
evening frock seems to be just a
little out of the picture. White
takes first choice--with pale pastel
hues a close second. Our blacks
and deeper, more sophisticated colors
may come back in full force with
Autumn and Winter, but while sum.
mer lasts the light soft shades seem
to reign for evening.
Decidedly tanned neck and arms
and shoulders are more and more
taken as a matter of course among
our young women nowadays. When
women first began to wear tan as
matter of fashion-and frankly gave
up trying to remain pale skinned on
Summer holiday-evening dress
always offered a problem. There
was something startling about the
area of pale Unframed skin below
the V or oval of neck not covered by
the bathing suit. But now no eve
ming frock attempts to be more dec
ollete than the bathing suit and the
untanned patches remain Invisible.
There is something charming about
our tanned-skinned young beauties In
evening dress. 1t is after all only a
prejudice that makes US feel that all
blondes must be white skinned. i
have seen girls with cleaning golden
hair and blue eyes whose skins would
be white if unexposed to the sun.
which now has turned lovely shade
of rosy gold. 1t seems incongruous
at first, but quite charming when you
get used TO 1t.
The wives and daughters of the
blonde vikings Of old must have had
skins like that. for 1t is only when
constrained to live in the shade that
the Nordic becomes really white skin.

MARTIN WOULD NOT NOTICE
HOW LITTLE APPETITE SHE
HAD.
Accepting these invitations was
pretty much the same. There was al
ways the formality of dressing. and
arriving at an apartment not unlike
her own, but perhaps with not so
much charm.
The hostess would carry Nan off to
her bedroom to remove her wraps and
powder her nose. And usually the
hostess would be a woman from ten
to fifteen years older than Nan, and
slightly inclined toward embonpoint.
She would look at Mans slim, childish
figure enviously. And all the while
she would be saying to herself:
"Of course, she married him for his
money"
For Nan was prettier than ever.
She was leading a regular life and she
had plenty Of time to care for herself.
Where in the past she had been
forced to neglect her hair, her nails
or her skin, now 1t was possible to
give everything the attention 1t
needed.
She went to Turkish bath for the
sheer fun Of the thing. She had never
been to one In her life.
She saw grotesque women In sheets
weighing themselves anxiously and
exclaiming at the results. And she
saw the eyes of many fastened en-.
viously on her slim, childish figure as
she went through the different
processes.

She sat on a chair so hot that it

Picnic Hints.

If you are planning an auto trip
or lust going to a picnic, try the fol-
lowing way of packing fruit in jars
or glasses Of jelly. Cut rings from
old inner tubes and slip several
around the Jars of fruit or glasses OF
jelly. You may then pack them with
out any danger of breaking.
To protect your matches from pos
sible dampness when going on camp

paraffin. Allow to cool and they will
be ready for use in the usual way.
This precaution will save time and
trouble when going on pleasure trips
or picnicS.

Singing is excellent exercise for

the members Of our family has good
voice. but we manage nearly every
evening to get together around the
piano to sing for while. My neigh
Dor, who has no piano, encourages her
children to sing with the radio. We
both agree that 1t Is one OF the best
periods of the day. for aside from the
benefits derived from singing, 1t puts

For the screen production of this
feature comedy, like the stage play
that endured for more than thirty
years of successful and continuous
runs, is practically without the sug-
gestion of villainy.
While more laughs, numerous, I'M
usual and side-splitting situations
have been added to the original
stage play in order to fit it for the
screen, it is as much without the
usual "heavy" work of the ordinary
play as when it first was produced.
"The substitution of many laughs
must have made up for the lack Of
villainy," said Edward Small, who
produced the comedy for First Ma
tional Pictures. Newer productions
are proving that audiences, the
world over, love to laugh md that
they don't mind if the usual rules of
production are overlooked N the
finding of those laughs. Successful
entertainment of the future will run
more to humor than sobs, and mon
ey will be expended for ideas rather

RICH COLORS FOR
YOUR BOOK CASE


Book stands are always an i'm
portant part of the furniture of the
modern home and perhaps there
are no pieces of furniture to which
more attention is given by those in
terested in interior decoration.
Even the simplest of bookcases can
now be made attractive and be
given a coloring which helps to
make the room distinctive.
There are three types of book
cases, any one, or all, of which are
usually found in the average home.
One is a large book case with glass
doors; another is a small book case
of general utility, usually of three
shelves, which can be placed here
and there in positions which help
to decorate the room; the other is
a book stand, also usually with
three shelves, which is a fine aux
iliary to reading chair. If you
wish to be in the latest mode, you
will have these book cases finished
in Duco because this latest of all
finishing materials gives color
schemes which are unattainable
otherwise. There are two color
plans suggested for the large book
case with glass doors. One of these
is done in blue with rich green on
the shelves. The other is finished
