TOMATO GATHERING
GroWers Report No Damage
! Done to Crops-Higher
Prices in Sight.

Growers from nearby Maryland and
Virginia arriving along the B street
wholesale line this morning reported
light frosts ~ their sections. 1t is be-
lieved the frost was so light, however,
that not the slightest bit of damage re-
suited.
Appearance of the frost, however,
suggested to growers the possibility of
forcing the gathering of certain crops
that are easily affected. especially torna-
toes, and it is probable that gathering
of the green vegetable for picking pur-
poses soon will begin.
, Most of the larger of the green toma-
toes will be held for ripening, either I'M
der glass or indoors. There probably
will be a shortage of such supplies this
Fall, however, and prices may be much
higher than usual.
Ripe tomatoes continue scarce and
high, 2-peck baskets selling at SITS and
50 this morning. Lima beans also con-
ltinue scarce and high, dealers quoting
IA price of 10 cents a quart, or SO a

BY BETSY SCHUYLER

EAST HAMPTON, L. l.. Aug. g.
Social registrites deluxed the an
nual benefit street fair here this
year until it was gorgeous pageant
with colorful booths, fascinating
grab trees" a stunning fashion
show and everything you could
think Of to eat, wear or look at Of
fered for sale by fascinating dam
sells in fancy dress.
Most Of those present looked so
altogether charming that they might
have been willing to wear the cos
tunes not alone for sweet charity,
but for their own sakes.
Some of the fashions high-lighted
the mode, in cut, color and novelty.
Pajamas Go Native
Pajamas, for instance, have gone
quite native, judging by those worn
oy Mrs. A. Lawrence Dowd and Mrs.
Frank P. Shepard. Both had stun
ming suits of wide, colorful, flaring
trousers, and the regulation length
coats topped by coolie hats, novel
ties of wide, mushroom brims in
natural colored straW-the kind
coolies actually wear!
The beret is the one and only
proper headgear to wear with swim
ming suits! Among those who at
tested this with the most chic we're
Mrs. Chester Palmer and Mrs. Cliff
ford Mccall, the former in a jaunty
scarlet one, the latter in a sapphire
blue.
Along with the turpaned, swathed
or bereted head, necklines are
changing. The crew neck is rival
by the collegiate-a new, close-to-
the-neck one fastens with a little
frog or button like a Chinese neck,
but has no standing collar. Frances
Hyde, selling rich, fattening food
stuffs at most appealing counter,
wore a green silk, double-tiered
frock with a collegiate neck fastened
by bits of jade.

CHILD
Best Training
Most Simple
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Parents must not get the idea
that the business of child train
ing is a ponderous affair that calls
for ismS and ologies, long faces and
texts.
1t isn't.
1t is the most delightful occupa-
ton in the world. A little inteli-
gence and knowledge about handl-
ing children need never be associ-
ated with rules and bylaws.
Indeed, most suggestions for child
guidance seems to be in warning
parents to keep hands off. There are
more children spoiled in over
handling than understanding.
1t is by punishments and over
discipline, by instilling fears and
practicing injustice, that children
are often filled with undesirable
character traits.
If home conditions are happy and
normal, and a child treated as a
reasonable human being and friend
his confidence gained and his CO.
operation assured, other things fol-
low as naturally as the day follows
the night.
Different, Not Abnormal
heard a specialist in child psy-
chology declare that many of the
so-called abnormal children who
came to this clinic for examina-
ton and treatment, were not alb
normal at all, but merely different
Being a bit out of the usual rur
they had been struggled with anc
worked with by parents and teach
ers until the children had become
obsessed by the idea that they were
queer and regarded their queer
ness" in the light of a license to dc
pretty much as they pleased.
They enjoyed being worried over
and getting so much attention.
Right Home Important
This refers, of course, to unusua,
children, but it proves a point
There is nothing complicated anc
nothing to struggle over, in any
great degree, in training almost any
child. A happy home, proper food
plenty of rest, fair treatment (not
necessarily coddling) and helps II
solving his childish difficulties anc
problems, love and tolerant under
standing. This is the simple theme
Of child training. Not complicated
is it?
Don't allow child to think you
are bringing him up by rule. DOM
run to a book, or if you do, dom
let him suspect it. If he gives vol
trouble. appeal to him in any way
you think best, but don't give hin
the idea that he is a problem il
arithmetic that you can't solve.
You may have created a very
complicated situation yourself out Of
nothing Parents can not always
follow the workings of a childi
mind or account for his behavior
Half the time he can not account
for it himself. When the day come,
that we will understand even ou
own minds, that will be a happy
time.
Don't allow child training to get
you.
