GLORIFYING
 YOURSELF
By Alicia Hart
@I9l BY NEA SERVICE INC

The new hats this fall call for a decided change in your coiffure. Have your hair from two to six inches long in the back, but short at the sides. Part it on the right side, wave the short front on the left side and let that 1ock>curl over your hat. Ears should show, par ticularly the right one.
 Since so much of your hair is bound to show this season, be sure that 1t is healthy and has nat ural lovely sheen of its own. Hot oil shampoos are excellent for hair which has become dull and lifeless and massage will stimulate growth and restore the sheen. Use bril- liantine to keep your hair in place and don't forget hairpins. Hair. nets are also in vogue again, so ii you have any difficulty keeping your hair in place, try a few diff ferent styles until you find one which is becoming and then wear that style loosely over your hair Don't cover your ears with the hair net. Be sure that it exactly matches the color and texture of your hair.
 If your hair is not naturally curly, better get a permanent wave, at least on the ends. Straight hair is often very becoming, but with the new hats, which are a bit severe and trying to wear, waves and curls add a softness to the face and detract from that "too tailored" look
 If you finger-wave or water wave your hair, use a very light wave-lotion.

The housewife should literally know her onions" these days if she makes the most of this ple- bian vegetable. Properly cooked, onions are not only an appetizing dish, but they are of unusual food value as well.
 It's rather interesting to know that the onion has been used since the beginning of history. It was worshipped by the ancient Egypt fans, who regarded it's layer on layer or rings as the symbol of eternity.
 Our eat-grandmothers had great faith in the healing proper ties of onions. Onion syrup and onion plasters were considered ef- fectiye remedies for colds.
 Today in the light of scientific investigations we know that onions are one of the protective foods" and do much to ward off colds and prevent general dis eases. Vitamins B and c are both present, vitamin c being particu- larly abundant. Rich in iron, they are a good substitute for the so- called fred meats This quality alone makes them a desirable ad- dition to the menu when meat is not served. They also have the virtue of supplementing the in adequate protein of other Vege'

table foods. All this knowledge enables us to add onions to our menus with increased assurance Of their value.
 Food Value Varies
 The actual food value in terms of calories depends largely on the way onions are served. but if you remember that one-half cup plain cooked onions furnishes approxi- mately 13 calories of protein, of fat and S1 of carbohydrates, you will have a working basis to figure on.
 At this season of the year, dry onions are at their best. Since they are not very perishable they can be bought in quantity and stored for future use. Although generally considered the proper &C., compartment to poultry and game, they are quite acceptable with beef, mutton and liver. Properly cooked, they provide cheap and exceedingly wholesome vegetable.
 Onions lose minerals less heav- | fly through baking than through | other methods of cooking. It IS surprising how good they are sim ply baked in their smooth, satiny | packets. fldCe llltlil III d SlldIlON pan after thorough scrubbing and bake in a moderate oven for about an hour.

 When onions are boiled they should not be drained from the water in which they were cooked Cook, uncovered, in a rather large portion of rapidly boiling water l By the time they are tender tie water will have cooked away and the flavor will be pleasantly mild. Prolonged cooking causes marked loss of flavor, leaving the cooked vegetable flat and insipid tasting.

 You and can. understand each other very quickly" the visi- tor was saying. II don't waste words, Miss Kent, and I've come here to tell you this thing must stop. Immediately! Marks a young fool but it will do you no good to try to continue these secret meet ings. I tell you they're going to end!"
 The girl fell back as though at a blow. Her face was ashen. "You-you're asking me to stop seeing him." The words sounded far away and strange. Now the man was speaking again. "I'm glad to see you're taking this sensibly," he said. "No use taking it any other way. There'll be no blackmailing and no scandal suits. I'm direct man. That's why I've come here tonight. Miss Kent, I warn you that any effort to sensationalize this affair will have serious conse- quences. As for Mark--he has nothing in his own name. You won't be able to get a cent-!" 'Mr Travers-are you Marks father?"
 The wide-eyed gaze seemed to irrftate the man. of course I'm his father!" he snapped. "Why else do you think I've come here Of course I'm his father!"
 "But but Mark never told me"
 Buddy color mounted in Tray ers' cheeks. Marks an idiot! he exclaimed angrily. i've al- ready told you this affair is ended. You're not to see the young fool again. And the slightest show of fight on your part, young woman, and you'1l find out waht 1t means to try to interfere with F. M. Travers! Don't try that innocence game with me. It may work with Mark but not with me. know what you are, all right. oh, yes, I know! And I tell you I won't give you a penny!"
 "Oh!" The girls cry cut the air. She turned to hide her face.

Perhaps it was the fact that Nancy felt so generally wretched which made it hard for her to put up with her young son this sum- mer. He seemed to be growing into a self-willed, stubborn young ster.
 He was eternally alert, she dis covered, when she sat back dis passionately and watched him eternally alert for the words, you mustn't" or don't do that" Just let him hear those words and he was all cooked to disobey. Sensing that, Nancy said to her self-"why give shim so many don'ts?" Most of the things he wants to do are harmless. It is just a habit which makes me auto matically say, Don't walk over there," Don't dawdle," Don't put your hands on the window" Does it matter particularly whether he does or does not do those things. And honesty compelled her to ad- init it really made little difference.
 So she stopped. Then she found he was so ready for the command that he announced his intention of doing the forbidden thing and only waited for her to say No" In- stead, she said, "All right, you may" And To, and behold, the desire was gone atonce. Without | a murmur he desisted.
 | She discovered too, that there were times when reasoning was of no avail. It took a sharp, quick slap or spank to bring him to terms. When the punishment was meted out at the time he dis obeyed he saw the connection be- | tween cause and effect.

pretty soon but at least it's here!"
 She bound up the cut finger, returned to the screened off "kitchen'' and took ep the pairing knife again. The bandage made her clumsy but she finished peel ing the potatoes and covered them with water. She was wash ing lettuce when the downstairs bell buzzed sharply.
 Who in the world could that be?
 Not Mark! No--it was a good three-quarters of an hour before he was due. Chris wouldn't ring. Norma puzzled bIankly. Before she had time to answer the bell rang a second time.
 The girl ran across the room, itno the hall, and peered down. stairs over the bannister. Someone to see you, Miss Kent!" The voice of Mrs flaw thorne. the custodian, rose shrilly from the entrance hall. '1'll-I'll come down." the girl agreed. It seemed the quick est way to be rid of the interrup- tion.
 She reached the first floor. Mrs Hawthorne had disappeared but through the half opened door o1 the vestibule Norma glimpsed a shadowy figure.
 The girl went forward. "You wanted to see me?" she asked. There was light in the hall way but it glimmered dimly. Nor ma saw that the stranger was a large man, stockily built and in clined to plumpness. Middle aged. He wore a gray suit and held a gray felt hat in one hand.
 Are you Miss Kent?" he asked The tone was crisp, formal. Yes"
 There was an instant's pause The man glanced about, faintly ill-at-ease. My name is Tray CTS, he went on. "F. M. Travers. |" He produced card and handed it to the girl. "There is a matter on which I would like to talk to you. Miss Kent. It is-of con- siderable importance. Is there some place not quite so public ?"
 Norma had been staring at the card in her hand. Now she stared at the stranger. But don't understand" she began. The man interrupted.
 "I will explain" he said. "I- as l said I have come on a subject I am sure will interest you. think you would prefer to hear what I have to say in private. The words had the precise effect he had expected. We can go up- stairs" Norma said.
 The dinner party, the suspend ed preparations were forgotten What was this terror clutching al Norma's heart? Her hands were icy, yet she could feel her temples burning. Travers he had said his name was. .Travers!
 On the third floor landing Nor ma paused. This is where ] live" she said. Twill you come in?"
 The man followed her into the living room. In the brighter light Norma saw that he was handsome Older than she had guessed be. fore. The gray hair was almost white at either side of his face His keen eyes surveyed the room They were dark eyes. Brown They reminded Norma of someone she knew. She caught her breath sharply. They were like Marks

YOUR CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts Bsrto1 @Iasl e1 NEA ssRXIcE ihlG:.

Do you know that many, many children worry because they think they are bad? I don't know how we first got the idea that about half the things we do are wicked, but children have the idea of discipline so strongly impressed on them that this is probably the reason that we have grown up that way. We be- gan by feeling that almost any natural impulse is wrong.
 Children have no sense of pro- portion and when they are told re- peatedly day in and day out that they are bad, they don't know just what we mean and jump to the conclusion that they are worse than they really are. worse than they really are. Perhaps Tommy has disobeyed. orders and gone down to see a. smash-up or a fire. In our anxiety to impress on him the danger of crowds in traffic, we go for him 1 right, tell him all sorts of things our of proportion to his case. 1 Enemies of Obedience
 1 His crime consisted first of all of disobedience, but remember that curiosity and impulse are natural forces under which obedi- ence often falls. To disobey was wrong but not criminal. Yet per- haps we called him dishonest in our excitement, or cruel to worry us so, or good d-for-nothing, or even wicked.
 Perhaps he didn't go to fire but merely broke dish or got his shoes muddy, or lost his book. Our own bad humor and our own hys- terical emotions cause an outburst absolutely unwarranted by the oc- casion, Tommy is left again with the idea that he is a worthless young scamp. And if the perform ance is repeated day after day, 1t is easy to imagine just what his opinion of himself is going to be- for children take us iterally-how can they guess that we are only letting off steam and do not mean half of what we say?
 Words Take Effect
 Words sink in and eventually leave their mark. In time, Of course, Tommy gets hardened, but that does not lessen his idea that he is past saving-in fact, it IS largely because of this notion that he does get hardened.
 When a child is thoroughly sat- urated with the idea of his worth lessness, he losses all ambition to be honorable. Perhaps he feels that he may as well have the game as the name, or perhaps it is be- cause all the finer feelings dry up when self respect is gone, or he may just feel that it is useless to try to be good because he gets blamed no matter what happens }

FRANCE PLANS DRESS MUSEUM

Paris. (UP)-In one of the old est chateaux in France, one of the newest museums is to be installed. It is the Chateau de Sainte-Barbe- des Champs, at Fontenay-aux- Roses, which has been completely abandoned for 25 years. It is to house a museum of costumes of great rarity, according to an an- nouncement by Maurice Leloir, president of the Societe de PHis- toire du Costume.
 The French village of Fontenay- aux Roses, as its name impnes, IS famous for its roses, and the an- cient and abandoned chateau stands in dull white ruins on the crest of a little hill, famous In the las tcentury.
 People about the village call the old chateau haunted because 1t IS covered with overgrown vines, It's windows are broken in and It's doors swing on creaky Joints, as though spirits had passed through them hurriedly.
 Haunted or not, according 10 country folk, the chateau IS mu- scum piece in itself and as such especially suited for the collection of 1.7OO historical costumes which will soon be housed there.
 At the entrance to the gateway already hangs the sign. "Musee du Costume" and preparations tot re- store the ruins to their pristine glory are in process. Among the costumes included in the museum will be regional ones now at the Trocadero Museum, complete collection of shoes from the Cluny Museum, and costumes belongine to the city of Paris. which have been stored in the Carnavalet Mu. scum and at the Halles aux Wins The chapel of the chatea VIII con tain a collection of religious cos tunes representing all the ages A permanent exposition of Parisi' an models will illustrate moderr elegance and remain an intergra part of the new costume museum.

 But some robins cannot be con- tent with the usual.
 Mrs. D. J. Gruger who lives at the administration headquarters in Glacier Park heard a commotion outside a window in her home. She looked outside to determine what was causing the noise and saw robin necking at the ground. ''FIe would peck, jump back, scoid and ruffie his feathers" Mrs. Gruger said, ''so l went out into | the yard to investigate" q first thought the object of his attentions was large worm but on closer investigation found 1t to be a six-inch garter snake The robin crippled it sufieientl, to carry it away."

Nancy did not hold a grudge. Once the punishment was over she was ready to forget it. She did not drag it into the conversation continually. And she learned that an appeal had little effect. Don't you love, Mother? If you do. you won't disobey" was dust about so many waste words. The little boy saw scant connection between low ing mother and stopping being selfish, for instance. Appeals to love are of avail in later years, but not with three year old.

Pretty NORMA KENT, 2O-year- old secretary in Q law ofIice, sees MARK TRAVERS for the first time when together they rescue a puppy from the downtown traffic I'm Marlboro, middle-western me- tropOlis. Norma declines to tell Travers her name or where he can see her again.
 BOB FARRELL, young lawyer, asks Norma to marry him and she refuses, though she is fond Of him as a frfend.t Norma takes the puppy to the shabby apartment she shares with CHRISTINE SAUNDERS. She fears Chris is falling in love with her married employer, BRADLEY HART, pro- prietOr of an advertising agency. Next day Norma inserts an adver- tisement about the puppy in the lost and found column of the Marlboro Press. The first person to answer this advertisement is Mark Travers. He tries to make a date but Norma declines his in- vitatiOns. Travers departs and later goes with NATALIE PRICE, wealthy debutante on a gay round of the night clubs.
 Next evening a small boy comes to see Norma, claims the puppy and takes 1t home. Chris goes to aid MINNIE BAKER, an inn poverished friend whose 2-year- old son has been badly burned. Norma receives telephone calls from Trayers and ignores them. She goes for drive with Bob Farrell and he tells her he is gO- ing to leave Marlboro. Two days later she meets Trayers on the street and goes to lunch with him. This is the beginning of week of whfriwind cOurtship. Norma finds herself head-over-heeIs in love but thinks she must send Travers away when he asks her to marry him because of some secret of the past. Chris knows this secret, and declares that if Norma loves Travers all else is unimpOrtant. Mark is invited to dinner at the apartment.
