BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Every psychologist as well as every
observant mother discovers very soon
that person does, without very much
urging (or none at alb, the thing he
likes to do, and with a great deal of
urging the thing which gives him little
personal satisfaction.
There are some tendencies which we
instill into the child so early that they
become automatic before he has any
time to decide whether he Is going to
like them or not. Thus We put the tiny
baby to bed at regular hours, we feed
him on the dot and battle him likewise.
We take him out for an airing every
day at the same hour SO that shortly
he wakes, eats and sleeps exactly on
those hours.
Mothers, as a rule, do not use this
same procedure in instilling good toilet
habits. and as consequence these be-
come a source of real friction during the
child's second year. Obviously we can
not expect that If the child is going to
pursue a certain line of habits during
the first year almost over night he
can understand that these habits have
suddenly become bad. Toilet habits of
fort, but these same habits in the
runabout child come to be designated
as shameful and dirty" both ideas
which not only must be extremely con-
fuSing to the child but throw around
these perfectly natural habits a dis
colored veil which they have no right
to wear.
We have always felt that instead of
haranguing the child beginning an
elaborate system of training after the
second year, if we would start his proper
toilet habits the first or second month
of his life we would have no troubles
at all the second year. In fact, this is
far from being just feeling" for
many mothers have carried out this
training from the sixth week to make
it's desirability an absolute fact.
Mothers have a tendency to put of

Perhaps the feature of these new
ways and means with curtains that will
count most with the homemaker today
lies in the fact that they can be quite
freely introduced into homes furnished
in traditional fashion.
AS a matter of fact, the use Of fab

such training because changing diapers
for babies is q traditional burden which
most mothers never think of shaking
off With all the new attitudes that
mothers are assuming, 1t would be splen-
did If they assumed this one with the
recognition that it is no more trouble
to train a baby to have regularity in
these habits than 1t Is to be o slave to
diapers for eighteen months of the
child'S life.
All mothers have a way of getting
set in habits of thought too, and If
they go about solidifying a habit in a
certain way, they find it hard to adapt
themselves to different way. We find
about sixteen months and three or four
years who suddenly develop stubborn
streak about going to the toilet. They
may have been trained perfectly up to
this time and then. without warning,
cry when urged or taken to the toilet,
and later make nuisanceS of themselves
by wetting or soiling.
Most mothers meet this situation by
renewed severity and awful threats of
what will happen ''if you do that again"
or by long wearisome arguments about
how no one will like you. and aren't you
ashamed to be such dirty child, until

It seems more feasible to try to
renew the child's interest in a ceremony
which has become boresome. Buy q
small bright colored jar that Is to be-
long to the child, or, If she has been
used to that, introduce her to a regula-
ton toilet seat. It behooves the mother
to work out her own individual problem
by ingenuity and a regard for the fact
that the child needs some change.
The more matter-of- we are about
this ceremony of going to the toilet,
the less we embellish 1t with dramatics;
and the more willing we are to subtly
try to make 1t more interesting. the
more successful we shall be in continu-
ing the habits we are anxious to solidify.

All this Is in reference to the shoes

And women less happily invested as to

Youth Leads Revival
Of heightened Locks

TT can never be said that the modern
istic fashion era is over until at least
two of the big three postwar style
themes have been relegated to the limbo
of the demodee Short hair, short skirts
and the conforming silhouette have en-
joyed an undisturbed reign for nearly a
decade, and although the time is becom-
ing ripe for an end of this triumvirate,
it is a moot question as to whether mi
lady is really ready for the change.
The short feminine couture, which de-
serves first place in this discussion, url-
derwent a swift and remarkable revolu-
ton during and just after the World
War. Most smart fashionables OF today
can remember when bobbed heads were
not only wholly out of fashion, but also
the badge of a social order which was
quite without caste Despite the fact that
the conveniences of the abbreviated colt
were quite as obvious as they are today,
the gentle pre-war maidens would have
none of their doughty allurements..
Very suddenly, on the heels OF the
war, milady's mood changed, and with
it her mode. It does little good to delve
into the deeper causes for the change
at this time. It Is enough to know that
unexpectedly and out of a quite clear
sky bobbed hair became first en- regle,
and, before long, indispensable. Who
does not remember the lengthy and cru
iite discussions of the early bob days.
Manufacturers of hairpinS and similar
hirsutic adornmentS wrote reams and
reams to prove that the Lorelei ideal
could never die. And all, of course, to
no avail Irrepressible youth had just
started its rampage. and the tides of
what has since become known as mod
ernism in fashions were not to be
damned. With the passing of decade.
however, the irrepressibles have lost
some of their early ardor, and sensa-
tionalism is no longer the ruling motif
of fashion. In the new, calm and in

and fullness must be given to the skirt
portion of the dinner dress. one must
not lose sight of the fact that most of
the time restaurant dresses must also
serve as dancing frocks. If the lower
part of the skirt can be made of circular
frills, detached wings and panels, one
must avoid trains that would not look
well If held up on the arm. Circular,
fiared back or bright-colored taffetas,
faille or mire gowns for young women,
and frilled pastel nets or chiffons for
debutanteS, are always very effective.
Chiffon dresses. beaded all over jumper

smartest dinner dresses Of the new sea-
son.

shoes of specially prepared silk and
metal damask are worn for evenings.
but the popular slipper du soir, of pump
or sandal shape, is made of satin. The
newest trimming on satin pumps is a
rhinestone or colored glass small bow
motif placed at one side.
The general effect of the dinner and
dancing costumes seen at these hotels is
one of simplicity. Yet it is very mis-
leading simplicity and once you begin
to dissect it you discover it isn't SIM
plicity at all but highly involved COM
pleXity, with a deceptively smooth
masque. For once, this coming Spring,
Paris chic will be more than surface
deep.

One Paris Jewel Shop
Holds Key to Society
PARIS.

EAEt1Os
THE little Paris shop where-so they
say-one may buy or sell social
prominence, is said to be in danger.
Social-climbing Americans and Russian
aristocrats are up in arms against the
evil hand that is putting their future in
hazard by giving too much publicity to
the little shopkeeper who makes their
activities possible. Whether they will
keep his dealings a secret for many
months more is question.
The complex system of buying ones
way into the social program of the gay
French capital is said by many to be
based largely on the traffic between this
dealer and his clientele. He deals In
Jewels rare stones only - diamonds,
rubieS, emeralds, pearls. Some of the
finest pieces of jewelry in the world are
credited with having once been in his
keeping.
This is neither luxurious pawnshop
nor is it fence" for stolen jewels.
The clients are among the socially i'm
portant and the wealthy of the world.
The list of those passing through his
doors would read like some cosmopolitan
bluebook of the rich, the ambitious and
the nobly born. He probably knows
about the private affairs, the personal
tastes and the financial habits of every
person of importance In Paris.
His entire commerce Is laid upon the
foundation fact that many of those peo-
pie who are too proud to accept a gift
of money will gladly welcome something
else-jewels. Thus it is that for his fine
rubies and emeralds, duke, living on
an impoverished estate, or countess,

will consent to be the guest of some
wealthy foreigner who needs important
names on his dinner lists.
It is he, who, the following morning,
as previously arranged, buys back the
Jewels. From his friends he will buy
| necklaces and jeweled cigarette cases
that have been purchased elsewhere. He
will even find q rich client who might
take a fancy to bracelet that has been
worn by-say. the Princess x.
It is he, also. who will give discreet
advice to the newcomer in Paris, who
is looking for friends" whose names
bear some weight in society converSa-
ton. It is he who counsels him, early
| in his program, to look well to his jew
els, for they are the only currency he

It may be that this shop is too well
known. But whether or not this shop,
Parisians say, there will always be some
place in Paris where nobility with
| empty purse may come bearing gifts
| they have just received from some new
lord of wealth. Paris is the city of jew
| els, and all PariSians, rich and power
less alike, are ever faithful to their love
| for diamonds.
There are many other jewel shops in
Paris as interesting as this discreet
little salon just back of the Ritz. There
is, for example, the elaborate estab-
lishment with Place Vendome address,
that has been the property of an old
French family for six generations. For
the casual passer-by. there are only the
three small saleSrooms on the street
floor-very much like any other shop,

PARIS.
n YoWHERE better than at smart
nj Paris restaurants can the new
est themes of French fashions
be witnessed. Here at tea time
at dinner and in the evenings
are assembled the smartest women In
Paris. wearing inevitably the latest
creations of the haute couture. Here,
TOO, more than anywhere else is possible
personal Interpretation of the mode.
Not only is it possible, but it is actually
essential to dress according to type at
these smart French rendezvous.
White is at present, most fashionable
for Paris evening wear, and 1t is very
becoming to dark or auburn hair or
near warm or very white skin, with
natural or artificially colored cheeks
and expressive features. Bright colored
iewelry, like emeraldS. rubies or sap
phires, can be worn as necklace, ear
rings, bracelet or brooch. Black is al
ways very striking when worn with
blond hair and frightened up by pearls
or diamonds. It is just now very fash
ionable and it can be effectively en-
lvened by colored wrap. Dresses of
intense colorS. such as scarlet. sap
phire or charteuse green. are also in
vogue and becoming to the same type
Of woman.
Incidentally, the newest way of dress
ing the hair for the evening is to wave
1t and brush it back, with or without a
front or side parting, thus showing all
the forehead, with the eXtremitieS of
the short hair forming a mass of curls
across the back of the head, over the
nape.
When the hair and complexion arc
not very bright, some soft or warm
colors will be more suitable. Deep tones
Of rose, old blue or leaf green or else
delicate pastel tones will suit any COM
plexion and throw attractive notes of
color in room.
In the way of novelties to take the
place OF the popular poppy, or ponceau
reds, a new bright rose pink called
f,guria is being featured. Lavender
blue is at the moment very popular for
evening wear, while women who wish
for a neutral tint can choose a parch-
nent shade, a flesh tint or a pale tone

Crepe de Chine Is
Accepted Material

Crepe de chine is the accepted ma
terial for lingerie of all sorts nowadays.
That is, If one does not specify that
some other material is used then one
assumes that it was crepe de chine.
Satin crepe is sometimes preferred for
boomers and sometimes even for night
gowns. Ninon, which is difficult to buy
by the yard in this country, is used for
some of the finest of French lingerie.
Triple wolfe. chiffon and georgette are
still used when extreme sheerness is
desired. III some recent importations
from France the combination of crepe
satin and brocade satin in the same
shade was seen. Taffeta makes its ap-
pearance with little chance of ousting
the softer, lighter materials from
favor. Bandeau and very short bloom
er sets of printed taffeta appeal to the
young shopper,

Purple Flowers to
Come With Spring

AS Spring comes, it is quite probable
that purple corsage flowers-violets and
pansies, orchids and other flowers that
don't grow purple, but are painted so
in their artificiality-will be much worn.
The now familiar bunch of violets
with red or pink rose in the center
Is one popular combination. Sometimes
the violets are as big as the biggest
English violets-or even suggest those
violets seen through magnifying glass.
Sometimes the artificial violets are as
small as the modest early blooms of
that flower that one finds in Spring.
time woods and roadsideS.
Orchids and pansies are worn for
evening. three or four or five together
for shoulder straps on frocks of velvet
or chiffon. In velvet these flowers are
so lovely that they deserve their popu-
larity. Soft and deep and rich In color
and texture. they add very becoming
note to any frock with which they are
worn.

OPHEIM LAMB SHIPMENT
BRINGS lie PER POUND

Opheim, April 22.-On behalf of the
sheep growers "A. T. Olson, cashier
of the First State Bank has con-
tracted with eastern feeders for the
sale of the entire north country 1929
crop of approximately 5000 weather
lambs at IL cents which is considered
a good price being equaled in the last
10 years only on two occasions.
Mr.. Olson has $1,000 fleeces listed
in pool, which will be offered to
woolbuyers in one block. So far this
spring there has been little movement
of wool and buyers have not made any
offers. According to Mr.. Olson, there
will not be any biddings until shear
ing time.
The number of sheep in the terri
tory tributary to Opheim has increas-
ed $500 in the last year and now
numbers about 1880. The wool and
lamb crops of this territory should
bring at conservative figures, about
100000 this year.
Of the Al members of the pool, only
six have flocks of more than 1000
