Coiffures for Slender Faces.

The short couture that shows one or
both ears is having vogue just now
among girls with long hair, as we'll as
among the bobbed. This style is not
becoming to large, wide faces. or to
very plump. round ones, but it gives a
chic effect to the girl or woman whose
face is oval or rather long. Showing
the ears. of course. makes the face
seem fuller. Needless to say. only
dainty. we'll formed ears should be ex-
posed to the public gaze.
For the girl with a rather high
forehead the first couture I am going to

That was an intelligent baby. He
thought his mother was playing a game
with him and the idea was to slap and
keep on slapping until one or the other
got tired
One morning policeman brought a
driver before the judge and said that
this man was cruel to his horse. He
bit him, your honor"
What's that, offlcer?"

did you do that?"
Eyes. He bit me. I bit him back
He won't bite me next time"
1T will cost you just $25 to prove
you have less sense than the horse"
said the judge.
When grown-up person, mother,
teacher. father, friend, enters into a
slapping match with child he has
less sense than the child. A slap irri-
tates child. He slaps back. He has
no idea of the manners of the situa-
ton. He has no notion that he is
merely to receive the slap. He likes
the activity Of the game and goes right
to it heart and SOUL And the only
way to stop him is to hurt him. Who
wants to do that? The judge will fine
you if you do.
When little child reaches for some
thing that is dangerous to him, you
take his hand and put 1t on something
else in the hope that his attention is
going to center upon this new object.
Meantime, If possible, remove him from
the vicinity of the object Or move the
object 1t is unwise to slap him.
Grown-ups are the models for the
youngsters What mother does, what
teacher says, what father likes, is the
law for the adoring child. If you do
not want him to slap, don't slap. If
you do not want him to be loud and
willful and disturbance in the home,
deal with him gently. He will be what
you are.
But if child insists upon touching
fire? If he does, take him away from
the fire. Only unintelligent children,
or very badly trained children, will in

sist in making fires, but they are not

Little children do not need to be

NANCY PAGE
The Etiquette of Introduce
tions Is Explained.
BY FLORENCE La GANKE.

Nancy found many old friends down
In Florida. They were glad to see her
and gave teas, receptions, bridge
luncheons and affairs galore in her
honor. At one sorority tea she noticed
that one of the girls was watching her
irtently. Later she found the reason.
It seems that the girls had been having
an "etiquettical' discussion regarding
introductions. They had been told to
watch the guests at this particular tea.
Later Nancy and the girls discussed the
whole question.
why did you remain seated when
other folks were brought up to you
and introduced, Mrs. Page?" Because
woman never rises when being intro
duced unless the other person is elderly
or very distinguished. OF course, if I
were young college girl and were be-
ing introduced to-oh, say a person as
old as I AMI would stand. That is
youths duty. But if 1 were college
girl being introduced to another college
girl would not get up"
Would you rise if man were
brought up to be introduced" mo in
deed, unless he were most distinguished
officer or foreign diplomat" Should
the man rise if he is seated when a
woman is brought up?" Yes. surely.
unless he were aged SHOULD man
extend his hand in greeting?" THAT
motion of hospitality belongs to the
woman. She should extend her hand
first Of course. if man does reach
out his hand she will be dreadfully rude
If she does not acknowledge it by ex-
tending her own. but the man made
the error In putting his out first" "One
other question-does a man rise every
time woman enters and leaves a
room?" Theoretically yes; practically,
no. He would look like jack in the
box if there is much moving about

OUR CHILDREN
Bewildered Parents.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Many a conscientious parent lays
down the latest book or magazine artl-
Gle ON the training of children with a
feeling of bewilderment. All the coun-
sci given is perfection's standard. one
authority seemingly contradicts an
other. What is one to do? Throw all
the experts out of the window ana
muddle along somehow? That might
seem the way out but then one would
have to go to the trouble of bringing
the expert in through the door again,
for we cannot get along without him:
But one can listen to his advice with
an open mind. One need not rush off
and try the latest scheme upon his
child. His child may not be the child
that needs the treatment. General ad-
vice about the care and education OF
children has this difficulty always. No
two children are ever exactly alike.
Any treatment, any plan, has to be
adapted to the need of the child IN
question.
An expert says, and says truthfully,
Sun baths are good for babies" A
mother, eager to do everything that
will help her baby, gives him good
long sun bath the very next morning
and burns him badly. Skins are not all
alike. Some can stand sunshine bet
ter than others. Some must be very
gradually accustomed to the sun bath.
Some can shorten the approach to full
exposure. Some sunshine is stronger
than Others Certain regions, certain
conditions of atmosphere. sky, weather
in general. affect the power of the SUM-
shine. One must know more about sun
baths for children than the fact that
sun baths are good for them.
Dancing exercises are highly benefi-
cial to children" says respected edu-
Gator There" says a conscientious
mother, Ruth shall have dancing les
sons. They are good for her" There
is a good dancing school down the
street and Ruth is fitted out with dane
ing slippers and dainty costume and
entered there. But Ruth weeps as the
hour for the lesson rolls round She
cannot hear anything in the music to
interpret, and this is an interpretative
dancing class. In vain the teacher begs
her to feel she is lily swaying in the
breeze. She just isn't. She feels like
a stone in the desert, and the music
gives no hint of that.
Ruth needed the other school of dane
ing. the formal one-two-t hree-skip kind.
She is that kind of child. And why not?
Spinach contains a vital food ele-
ment. 1t is good for young children"
Consequently childhood faces spinach
seven days week, and the deadly
monotony of it. the universal protest
against it, becomes by-word in the
child world. ''Oh, spinach" they say
when a treat turns out to be fiat oc-
casion of everyday quality. "Oh,
spinach"
Read every word you can get on the
subject of child reading. Listen to
every word you hear upon the subject.
Then in the quiet of your own mind,
with this particular child before you,
judge the value of the advice and act
accordingly. 1t is by taking thought
that you gather wisdom. Judge all
things and hold on to that which is
good"

Solitaire may play an important part
in the United States Senate during the
regime of Herbert Hoover.
For Senator Jim Watson has worked
out many OF his problems in the past
while going through the cards and more
than likely will continue to do SO in the
future
Just as John Marshall was wont to
turn to 'old sol'' when threading his
way through a legal maze to court de-
cision, so may the new leader of the
Republican forces guide the destiny of
the administration through the many
intricate stages of the Senate by calm
decisions arrived at while playing this
game.
Solitaire is about the only form of
recreation of the Indiana Senator. Win
ter or Summer resorts never have him
as a guest. for in the IL years he has
been in the Senate he never has taken
vacation, He always Is available and
usually is hard at work.
Golf for instance. is only bore to
him and he takes delight in pooh-pooh-
ing those addicted to the game.
The story OF how he would laugh at
his friend, the late President Harding,
one of the games greatest devoteeS, is
known to every one in the Capital. In
the days when the two were in the Sem
ate. Senator Watson was constantly
poking fun at Hardings golf. He
would go to the links with his friend,
but he never could be persuaded to
take a swat at the ball. Frequently
he would walk around the links just for
the exercise. but that was as far as he
would go.
But Senator Watson does have a
hobby. and it is one that lies very close
to his heart.
Just a few miles from his home in
Rushville, Ind. there is a home for
orphan children of soldiers and sailors.
The Senator is greatly interested in
this institution.
