When I was in school, about
two years ago, my height was
B feet l inch, and, now, am
just S feet tall. Is it possible
for girl to get shorter?
A girl can't very we'll grow
shorter, can she? But, she
may appear shorter and even
measure shorter if she does not
stand erect.
Try to stand as tall as you
can always, my dear, as though
an invisible ribbon from on
high, attached to your head,
was pulling you up. Work out
this idea of standing tall for a
month, then measure yourself
again and see if you have not
gained it back again, at least
part of your lost inch of height.
Be sure to measure yourself,
though, in shoes with the same
kind of heels you wore when
you we're measured in school.
Never use water too hot to
be comfortable to wash your
face. That will dry your skin
and make it sensitive to cold
and wind.
Warm water - comfortably
warm-relaxes the nerves and
the pores, and also enables the
wash-cloth and soapsudS to
penetrate the opened pores and
dig out dirt. Then a dash Of
cold water closes the pores
again. leaving them normal.
The shock Of warm, then cold
p water also acts as a bracing
tonic to delicate nerve-ends
near the surface of the skin,
making them tingle, and sends
the blood rushing to the surface
in becoming, healthy wave Of
pink color.

Tissue Cream Formula

DEAR MADAM JERITZA!
I would highly appreciate it
If you would inform me of a
good formula for a tissue cream
and a good muscle oil, as my
skin is very dry and is inclined
to wrinkle. r. B.
If were you I would buy the
muscle oil, for it is difficult to
make up at home. Any stand
ard brand should be successful.
For a tissue cream or skin
food try the following formula:
Almond oil (sweet), 2 ounces.
Pure lanolin, / ounce.
Cocoa butter, l ounce.
Spermaceti, "a ounce.
White wax, "a ounce.
Orange-flower water, 2 ounces.
Sodium borate, 16 grains.
Melt the lanolin, cocoa butter,
spermaceti and white wax in a
double boiler. Remove the mix
ture from the fire and stir in
the almond oil, sodium borate
and orange-floWer water slowly,

Children and Color.

Color has come into its. own. In
some cases, more than its own. 1t is
a mistake to think that all colors will
make all children happy. Color has
q strong influence on the nervous sys-
tenn and as each one of us differs IN
our nervous power and in our nervous
reactions, each of US has q color pref
erence.. 1t would be wise to think about
that when dressing children, when Sc
lecting toys, when decorating their
rooms.
we had little boy in our school once
whose mother was very fond OF cardinal
red. She liked to wear 1t, to have
touches of it about the house and above
all she rejoiced to clothe her small son
In that royal hue. The day that he
came to school clothed in scarlet the
teachers knew they were in for bad
time. BY and by we decided to cover
the proud rairnent with a linen sn1ock
Of cool tones and everybody was hap
pier. -
that it was impossible for him to be
quiet In mind or body for any length
Of time. He Quivered and tw1tched, he
hoped and skipped, he talked and
talked and talked until nobody in the
room with him could gather wit enough
to do the smallest bit Of work. Hence
the Snocks.
Yet there was another child who
needed q touch of scarlet to keep him
happy. Just a touch of 1t in his work
gladdened his whole day. Another child
seemed to do better If she could have
some yellow in her surroundings. Other

OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRI.

children needed gray. inauve, violet.
All children need color but not all
colors fit all children. In selecting
colors try to consult the children.
Usually the colors in scale with that
of their eyes and hair seem to serve
harmoniously but not always. A blue
eyed child will sometimes beg for scar
let and q black-haired child surely
cannot wear black.
Black seems not to be good for chill
dren. If the teacher wears a black
dress they seem to be depressed, and
brighten up Iloticeably when she lays
it aside for q brighter one.
We find that If the room where chill
dren stay for any length Of time Is
cluttered with a great variety OF cclored
objects that they are very uneasy and
restless. Too many calls upon their
color sense leaves them no reserve for
concentration. It Is better to have the
walls and furniture tinted tremendously
and the very few objects Of decoration
in some good color scheme, related in
tone and line.
The right color will soothe crying
baby sometimes. 1t will rest a tired
child. That is why flower will often
please a whining child. He will throw
toy from him If its color displeases
him.
This may seem trivial enough to
those who do not have to deal with a
group of children, but 1t will be evident
enough to those who have had ex-
perience along this line. Color prefer
ences, color needs of children ought to
be studied. They have a very distinct
value in child training.

leaving his downtown office, on the
pretext that he was wanted to in
vestigate the case Of wounded war

Calvin, who has number Of dis
abled service men among his clients,
complied. After q short ride out Of
the city, the car developed "motor

lowed the others from the car, he
was struck down.
