The girl is one Of those per.

that they are urged to do.
For instance the mother de-
cides that Ella should see a Ger.

is a good suggestion. Next day
the mother inquiries if Ella has

it's the style. To adhere too
closely to style is like marking
yourself with a rubber stamp; It
destroys individuality.
To be well-dressed a woman
should look as if her clothes and
herself were one. She may
achieve this by dressing her per-
sonality instead of just hanging
clothes on her body, by express
ing her spirit in line and color
and fabric.

So buy a new hat to greet the

as will form a link between your

BY doing this you will bring

Most people have a streak of
perversity in them. Some have
more than their share Of it; but 1t
is a thing that feeds and grows
on arguments and seedlings.
When a child Is possessed with
this maddening quality a parent
often has the impulse to slap it
out Of him. But that can't be
done.
The only way to battle with
perversity is to treat it with in
difference. Ignore the question
that brought on the baking and
ignore the youngster for a while.
When a child - little or big
realizes that he is free to follow
his. own sweet will in a certain
matter, but that he will also take
the consequences undisturbed, he
is not quite so anxious to follow
the said sweet will.
1t Is rather unusual to suggest
the use Of wiles and cunning in
the management of children, but
1t never does any harm to be "as
wise as a serpent and as harm.
less as dove"

8. Do you approve OF paper

paper being monarch size?

8. The form you give is the
form usually printed-although it

ICED SALADS
ARE FINE
BY Hannah Wing

TIME was when frozen mixtures
- were served only as dessert.
The increasing popularity of the
salad has brought a demand for
colder and crisper salad. Some
ingenious hostess invented the
frozen salads. Once started. the
vogue has led to many new and
appealing variations of frozen
mixtures, which may be served
as salad. However, it must be
admitted that the simplest of
these are the best.
Frozen Pears.

ing and half a cup of broken
pecan meats.
Frozen Pineapple.
Prepare pineapple in the same
way as pears. Serve with the
same dressing in which a cake
of cream cheese has been mashed
and blended.
Frozen Fruit.
Use one-half cup each of pears,
peaches, pineapple, bananas and
cherries. Mix with one-half cup
mayonnaise and one-half cup
whipped cream. Pack in mold
