Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

The question Of how one shall handle
the problem of the demanding" neigh
Dor child is vital one. Few of us es-
cape it. The neighbor child comes over
to play. We are anxious that our child
shall learn to be unselfish and a good
host. The result is that we make our
child martyr to the child who wants
everything he sees and can't be pacifled
unless he has it.
Mrs. S. S. L. is the victim Of an acute
case Of neighbcritis. She says: MY lit
tie girl of 3l2 years is good as gold
when she is alone, but when the small
nelghbor child comes to play they fight
like cat and dog. The mother of the
playmate will take my girls toys away
from her and give them to her daugh-
ter, so she won't cry. When my daugh-
ter takes her nap this child STAYS in
the house and plays with her things.
When take my little girl over there
I notice that the neighbor puts her
child's toys away so my girl won't ask
for them; Should teach my child to
fight and bite back when this child
does it to her?"
When children arrive at the fighting
and biting stage it is time to separate
them. If you do this consistently, say
ing: IF you can't play together nicely
you had better play alone" and always
send the child home, they will learn to
make a valiant struggle to play without
fighting.
In your efforts you should have CO.
operation firm the neighbor. There must
be a mutual give and take. Let the
neighbor child bring her own toys to
play with and avoid friction. Your
daughter isn't helped 10 be unselfish I'M
less sharing her toys is a personal Joy,
not one that is forced upon her. Learn
ing to be unSelfish is long, slow process.
Many adults haven't learned it, notably
this childs mother. She shows herself
to be inconsiderate when she allows her
child to play at your house when your
child is asleep. Why should not these
hours be yours to do with as you please,
instead of spending them taking care
Of her daughter?
To teach child TO be unselfish and
to share his toys with others, he must
f1rst appreciate the fact that we respect
his right to them. Unless he wishes 1t,
toys should not be taken from him.
Small children have TO learn the joys Of
possession before they can learn the
more subtle joy Of dividing their toys
with others.
The child Is quick TO initiate us, too,
for If he sees us eager to divide a good
cake with a neighbor, or 20 offer her an
extra concert ticket, or invite her over
to use the piano If she has none, he
feels a great satisfaction in holding out
his own favorite toy and saying, you
play with it," There would be very little
incentive in doing this il the one child
did it all; it has to be a $3.50 propo-
Sition,

Household Methods
Kitchen Is Center.
BY BETSY cALLIsTER.

To most American housewives, no
doubt, the kitchen stove means gas
stove. But there are, of course, thou
sands of women who still cook over
coal or wood, and many who must burn
oil, with a few who work out their
kitchen problems by electricity. But
whatever you use to cook by, bear in
mind that it is important to have a
very good light over the stove, even
If this means the extension of an cleo
trio wire or the placing Of lamp on
the wall beside the stove. Many a
headache has come as the result of eye
strain brought about by a poor light
over the stove. Good ventilation over
the stove is important, no matter what
your fuel. Frequently there is no flue
connection for the gas stove, though it
has been found that the kitchen odors
and excessive kitchen heat are very
much minimized where this connection
is made.

golf, tennis, skating and other outdoor
sports. There Is no type of blouse that
takes the place of the sweater in cooler
weather. It provides warmth without
weight and gives protection from wind
without impeding perfect freedom OF
motion.
So If you are interested in the fash
ions OF the day you should by all means
visit the sweater department of your
favorite store or pay a visit to the spe-
cialty shop where sweaters are sold
You will find these comfortable, wear
able smart garments in a surprisingly
wide variety and of surprisingly low
cost.
There are substantial wooden sweat
ers with turtle-neck collars that women
have been wearing for Winter sports.
One OF these is the useful addition to
the wardrobe at any time for open-car
motoring, motor-boating and for wear
on cooler days at mountain resorts.
There are lighter weight wooden sweat
ers suitable for golf or tennis, as well
as quite thin sports sweaters Of Isle
or Isle and silk, designed at present for
Southern wear
Many OF the medium sweaters
are appropriate with tweed skirts or
jacket suits for business or street wear.
Some Of these are made with a not very
deep V-neck. while others show the
shallow square neck that is especially

The wall space above the sofa GER
tainly does puzzle the homemaker, and
it Is no wonder, for there have beer
so many repetitions of the same treat
ment-that of pictures, mirror or q
fabric hanging-that no matter which
is chosen it becomes tiresome In q
short time because 1t hasn't individu-
atty.
Why not try something similar 10 the
treatment shown in the accompanying
illustration? The walls Of the room
have all been paneled with simple wood
holdings, plain surfaces and holdings
being finished alike in a soft shade
Of fawn. The only panel which has
any decoration is that back of the sofa
and in 1t is a decorative wall panel
made up of a series Of three strips
joined to form a scenic effect.
The background of the wall paper
matches the tone Of the wall and mold
ing finish and colorings are very soft
green, peach and yellow,
The floor covering is plain green and
the sofa has beige ground tapestry
with design in green, rose, yellow and
blue.

NOV clever women - taking their
IN cue from famous interior deco

that achieves a charming interior
with a very small expenditure of
time and money.
Every floor - every piece of furni-

There's only one polish that brings
such a perfect surface. That is Old

intermediate Hats.

One Of the happiest choices for an
intermediate hat to wear while Winter
still tarries is the close fitting hat of
grosgrain or betting ribbon. It may net
be so Springlike as a straw, but It Is
quite as smart, for fabric hats are fea-
tured even for resort wear.
AL OF the hats intended for town
wear are small ranging from close
fitting bonnets, turbans and berets 70
the small cloche with irregular brim.
In many OF the new turbans you will
find that the crowns have taken on
height There are turbans fashioned
after the Hindu headdress-a twist of
soft material wound around the gros-
grain crown, which Is fitted in pie Sec
tons. Other turbans are more on the
order Of the African bonnet. Here the
grosgrain foundation is fitted tightly
to the head and tightly rolled cords OF
the material are variously placed ON It.
Some OF the snlarteSt are fashioned
OF betting ribbon stitched together with

the speaker went on, because I have
suggestion for you. Have YOU ever
served brussels sprouts, or peas or
green beans in turnip cups? Here
is my method:
Choose turnips Of a uniform size.
Peel and cut of stringy root end.
Cook whole in boiling, sailed water.
Do not let turnips get too soft or
mushy. When almost tender remove
from saucepan and hollow each turnip
with the bowl OF a teaspoon. Hollow
at the stem end so that YOU have a
firm baSe for turnips to stand on.
In the meantime cook sprouts in
boiling, sailed water. Or open a can
of peas and heat in their own liuucr.
Fill the cups with drained peas or
cooked sprouts. Dot with butter, dash

high rolled brin effect produced by
draping. Others show a combination
with straw and some few with felt. A
tiny feather fancy or a crystal orna-
ment Is about the only trimming we
find, and the smartest hats gain their
effectiveness from the manipulation Of
the fabric.
While black Is the favorite choice,
since we are wearing so many black
dresses, both navy blue and brown are
good. There are also aome very good
looking hats of dark green or gray, the
high style color.

BESSIE T.
Answer--A pretty way to dress hair
like yours Is to part 1t in the middle
i and draw it back. Comb each section
smooth and fiat. Fasten 1t with metal
clip or a narrow barrette, then fold the
left-hand section over to the right side
Of the head, then turn the ends under
and pin; fold the right-hand section
of hair over to the left side. turn under
and pin. If your hair is not long enough
to fold or turn under, Just fasten 1t
with two pretty little barrettes at the
nape of your neck and curl the ends
upward. (2) Peroxide bleaches the hair,
but 1t should never be used undiluted,
as 1t tends to make the hair streaky.
The frequent use of undiIuted peroxide
| on the hair will make 1t dry, brittle and
strawlike. Use two tablespoonfuls of
peroxide, two tablespoonfuls of lemon
Juice and one tablespoonful ammonia
in two quarts of tepid water as a final
rinse for keeping blond hair light. go

Now Argotane brings welcome &c

where other medicines have been

in the following statement from
Mrs. Charles Marquis, a well-known
matrcn residing at 1924 Ave. b,

bothered me sine i was a child.
i felt tired and worn out 81 all
times. and yet I could not sleep or
rest well at night. My back hurt
me and my complexion was sallow,
which was caused, | am sure, by an
inactive liver. In addition TO all
this, I was a bit under weight"
Naturally, in the curse Of her
long illness Mrs. Marquis had tried
various methods of securing relief
from her ~sufferings. but as she was
still suffering before she started the
A-gotane treatment. the presumP-
ton may be that they did not afford
relief OF a lasting nature. II is easy
to understand how she could be-
come reconciled to a life of con-
tinuous suffering.
But she heard OF Argotane, and
heard the enthusiastic recommen-
dationS Of the hundreds OF persons
In all walks OF life whom ~ had
benefited. and she decided TO try x
herself. She began the treatment.
and the first results were so graft
flying that she continued 1t until
she had taken five bottles and has
obtained the following remarkable
results, as outlined in her CONVERSE
ton with the Argotane representa-
tive:
My friends declared that I look
