NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-MERRY
IN CHRISTMAS! We hope every
thing you received today was some
thing you wanted. But if it wasn't
and you're going to do some ex-
changing tomorrow or if some
one surprised you with a bank note
here are some ideas for after
Christmas present to yourself.
Frankly, some of these are
luxuries. But an occasional pamp-
ering once in while is good for
the soul. Especially during these
winter months, and when these are
all useful things designed by
Paris couturiers and imported to
America.
Schiaparelli, famous for those in
dividual clips every one finds so
convenient, has some new ones,
you'll be glad to know. Newest
of all is of gold colored metal, de-
signed exactly like an American
dollar sign. Or if you don't care
for that idea, there's one that's just
a plain letter S.
Still another she copied from a
plain round ring of the type you
use on curtain poles. They're all

fine for your sports or tailored cos
tunes. And very new!
Tailored-looking too, is the new
necklace Lucien Lelong has de-
signed. Fat, round beads and slim
rings are strung on a thick cord to
make one of those close fitting cho-
kerS that look SO smart with higher
neckline dresses.
But Lelong doesn't always design
tailored things. His graceful per-
fume bottle filled with one of his
bouquet scents, is feminine enough
for the fluffiest dressing table.
He has a new, flat, square COM
pact, too, with the LII monogram
with which he marks all his toilet
preparations.
II you want to brighten up your
winter wardrobe, you can consider
one Of the new blouses, striped in
the Chanel manner. 1t doesn't
have to be a genuine Chanel to be
smart, either.
Mainbocher and NIaggy Rouff are
using black suede belts on some of
their pastel Colored dresses. And
it certainly makes a smart accent.
So if you're planning for a pastel
dress next month, as so many fash
ionable women are, you'll find a
black suede belt to wear with it is
smart as can be. And wear some
other black accessories, too-shoes
and gloves and maybe a bracelet.

is. He to must be told and told and
told often that honesty is right. He
must be honest in every single thing
he does.
Cruelty2 David may not have
much idea that the cat suffers if
he is very tiny boy and has never
been told that animals have feel
ings.
He too has to be told. Mabel once
had a tendency to be generous Gall
children have at two or three but
gradually her desires became
stronger and no one told her that it
was wrong to be selfish.
She was just allowed to go along
because her mother took it for
granted that she ought to know
better. More guesswork.
No child knows. All of them must
be taught. If taught properly and
when quite young, it matters little
about the pirate ancestors or any
other kid.

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

We have curious ideas about chill
dren and one of them is that they
naturally should know right from
wrong.
To go into deep discussion of
natural selection involves the old
problem, quarrel rather, concerning
heredity and environment, so shall
not turn essayist and argue that
here.
This much I shall permit my
self to say, however: that person
ally I can not bring myself to
throw heredity in the heap.
can not evade my convictions
that chips do come off old blocks
occasionally and that children
sometimes do reflect in some mys-
ferrous manner the thoughts and
actions that characterized a long
line of forebears.
Children Know Nothing
Now this, I know, would seem to
refute what I implied at the top
that to expect children to naturally
fall into their ideas of right and
wrong would be curious.
The best I can do to breach that
gap is to say that if baby is born,
as think possible, with character
tendency, either good or bad, envi-
ronment and training are so much
stronger and more powerful in their
influence that tendency can be dis
counted almost altogether.
But little children know nothing
of these puzzling and as yet I'M
solved debates going on so furiously
over their heads.
They are interested only in the
little intimate immediate things
that concern them. And this is
where good and bad come in as well
as the training they must receive if
they are to be able to make their
own selections later on.
Why Be Shocked?
We are shocked if Mary tells a
lie, if Willie steals a cookie, If Da-
vid kicks the cat, or if Mabel is
selfish and stingy.
Why should we be shocked? Only
if Mary is old enough or has been
told often enough for her to know
that it is wrong to lie. There is no
sense in our thinking she should
know by pure instinct that lying is
wicked.
In every way possible, IN every
little word and act, every child must
be taught truthfulness from the
start. When that is ingrained into
him early enough it matters not
whether he descended from Ananias
himself.
Every child has to be told and
told and told again that truth is
right and must be stuck to. We can
not take it for granted that he
knows.
It's Same With Honesty
1t is the same with Willie who
slips off with a cookie. He might
hail from the line of Demosthenes
the Honest and yet not have the
J slightest idea Of what real honesty

Lef-OUe7:s
Make TASTY
CrOQuetteS
BY SISTER MARY
NEA Service Writer

Croquettes provide one Of the
most attractive ways Of using nm
leitover meats. Or, very often
cheap cuts can be boiled and used
to excellent advantage in cro-
quettes for a company luncheon.
Almost any kind of meat can
be worked up in delicious Gro
QUOTES. Lamb, veal, tender roast
pork, poultry and fish are most an
petizing used this way.
Combinations of meat are also
satisfactory. Veal and ham, chicken
and ham and veal and pork are
sayory mixtures.
Meat Must Be Prepared
The meat must be carefully pre-
pared. Every bit of skin, fat or
gristle must be discarded and only
clear, tender meat used in the
croquatte mixture.
The meat is then minced and
added to sauce as it is removed
from the fire. This is important,
for care must be taken not to over
cook the meat.
The crumbing and egging is an
other important step in croquette
making. Every particle of the sur
face of a croquette must be COM
pletely covered with crumbs and
egg. The reason for this is that
the egg quickly coagulateS in con-
tact with heat, forming a coating
which the frying fat can not pene-
trate.
Since this coating protects the
delicate texture of the croquette
mixture, carelessness in crumbing
and egging may permit the croquette
to break during the frying. A first
coating of fine crumbs. one of slight
ly beaten egg and a final coating of
crumbs give good results.
Not Difficult Task
The shaping of croquettes is not
difficult task, but here again care
must be observed. The mixture
must be handled very gently, with
the least possible pressure exerted
in molding.
The usual shapes are ball, cone,
cylinder, chop and outlet. The last
two shapes require a larger amount
of croquette mixture than the 9TH
ers. The following suggestions for
shaping may help you.
To shape croquettes, first thor
oughly wash hands and rinse in
cold water but do not dry. Take
a rounded tablespoon of the mix
ture and place on a molding board
and shape quickly with fingers.
Roll the mixture into a ball first.
Then if not wanted in this shape,
roll to a cylinder and flatten ends.
If a cone is wanted, hatten Bottom
and gently roll with greater pres
sure on top.
The inside of all croquettes should
be soft and creamy and the outside
crisp and brown.

A little gadget that should prove
useful in the nursery or bedroom is
a portable electric candle.

pick it up, and goes out when you
set it down.
There's also a switch to turn on
if you want a continuous light. And
around the base is 9, band of ra-
dunn dots so you won't have trouble
finding it in the dark.

When you find
yourself in the Might AID

you can not control, such as
jealousy, search diligently for

with other interests. Do anything

with all your strength, for nothing

to men!
There is an old saying that when
woman isn't jealous of her lover,
it's a sign that the man has reason
to be! On this premise, the best
way to cure yourself of jealousy of
one man is to transfer your affec-
tions to another. However, as it is
a method which deals with effects
and not causes, it does not insure
you against an outbreak of jealousy
in another quarter.
Personally, I wouldn't be jealous
of young man with bad habits. If
you were a little older, you would
fling up your hands in despair when
somebody offered you the thankless
job of reformer. The chances are
that the blond girl is satisfied with
the young man as he is, and doesn't
make him unhappy by the painful
process of trying to wean him from
his habits.
