This game, more than anv other

proves to be trying then you wish to

tunately, there are all sorts of Access
series that may be added to our cos
tunes to add to their becomir gness or
to lend variety to the wardrobe.
The scarf collar shown in the sketch
may be worn over any blouse or dress to
shorten the back of the neck in a fat

lines at the front that most women
need. To make it, you will nesd tri-
angle of material The two short sides
of the triangle should be about Is inches
in length-the long side should be about
% inches in length. If thin material is
used it should be lined with silk crepe.
Arrange the scarf at the back OF the
neck, like a small shawl, bringing the
two acute angles around to the sides.
To each of these two angles attach
length of ribbon, about IA or Is inches,
or make double strips Of material about
Is inches long and an inch wide. The
ribbon or strips are brought around to
the front of the neck and tied in bow.
The collar may be attached to the dress
at the back or it may be used as
separate scarf. It is decidedly smart,
made from one of the new plaid silks.

he was in a strange place and that he

So without warning he shot into the

Before the words were out of her

Housewives Hands.

Practically everybody realizes the i'm
portance of good looking hands with
we'll kept nails and smooth, white skin.
Worn, neglected hands will always
make a woman seem older than she
actually is. Don't imagine, because you
use your hands for household tasks, that
it is impossible to keep them we'll
grcomed and lovely to look at. With
proper care, women who work inside or
outside Of the home can have beautiful
hands. Thousands of women keep their
using them for Homework and so can
you with little regular attention given
to them every day.
Personally, I believe that it Is neg
lect and not use that makes hands old
locking and unsightly. Because use
gives hands individuality and character
and makes them as expressive as the
face. No beauty of long ago had love-
lier hands or could care for them as
easily as the modern woman of today.
If you wish to have beautiful hands
you must give them the proper care,
and even toil-worn hands after years
of neglect will respond If you will give
them the treatment that they deserve
Try the following treatment for a

OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRl.

Some little children do not eat prop
erly. BY properly l mean that they
fight against eating their meals They
never seem hungry. In order to get
them to eat anything their mothers or
nurses have to sit beside them and PROD,
coax and stuff and push the food down.
Usually we say, 1.-The child has &C
CURED a bad habit He likes to receive
attention. The best thing to do with
him is TO clear the table and allow him
to go without food until the next meal.
taking care that he gets nothing to eat
between meals"
That settles most of the food fussers.
A healthy child eats when he is hun
CRY. The healthy child who is not fed
between meals, who lives on schedule
and on a Wholesome diet, will eat his
meals as a matter of course. Should he
get into another habit because of illness
or change in the household routine
when his mother is away from home
perhaps-he Is soon brought to terms
by starving him out.
The spoiled child will eat when he Is
hungry. If his refusal to eat has been
cultivated because he found that his
refusal brought him pleasant expe-
riences, the removal of the pleasant ex-
perienceS will be sufficient, coupled with
hunger, to recondition him.
If child who has been exposed to
the experience of hunger still refuses
to eat, then it is time to take him to
the specialist. There must be some rea-
son for his difficulty. There is some
deficiency somewhere in his physical
being that makes eating distasteful,
even useless. The specialist alone can
discover this. You must discover the
specialist.
A cbiIdrer,,s specialist is USUALLY as
sociated with some good clinic, some
coed hospital. where children are OBJ
served and treated. The general prac-
titioner is usually too busy to study the
peculiarities of children. That is a
specialists field.
OF course before you go to the spe-
cialist you try all other means. Keep
a record of what you do and what sue
cess or failure attends each effort. Just
the keeping of this record often helps.
Some mothers found that they thought
they had done things and really had
only attempted them. For instance,
instead of holding out against the child
and allowing him to go hungry, they
softened and in the night rose and fed
him with supplications for forgiveness
attending each spoonful
Keep record of what is done, and
its success or failure. Vary the diet.
Spinach is all right but it is not the
only vegetable in the world. Variety,
color, surprise sociability, cordially,
should attend all meals in some form or
other
Service is important. Atmosphere is
important "a child cannot eat If he
is in fear) Hunger is chiefly important.
Regularity of meal time is essential
And common sense above anything.

Your Baby and Mine
BIZ MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Very infrequently some problem
reaches my desk that enlists my SYM
pathy, even though am unable to Of
fer any personal help. Along these lines
are all problems having to do with alb
normal children or children handi-
following letter presents a problem for
which I can offer no panacea but
merely an expression of an opinion,
solidifled by experience.
Have you any leaflets on the in
Struction of Subnormal children, such
instruction as private teacher would
give to a backward child?" asks Mrs.
P. THE child cannot be sent to school
but the parents do not want to send
that serious. Still it is serious enough
to make some mental training neceS-
sary. Are there teachers for such
things and are there books available
on the subject? Is this work similar
to that of kindergarten teacher?"
We have no leaflets dealing with any
kind of instruction that is the province
of a school, but we do have a leaflet
suggesting books on special subjects
Among these books there are several
which the mother of a mentally re-
tarded child might proftably read. A
self-addressed, stamped envelope must
accompany your request for this leaf
let. Send it to the Your Baby and
Mine" department of this newspaper.
Private institutions, or schools de-
signed to meet their peculiar needs
give the very best care and training to
these children. Unless pSychiatrically
trained the mother can neither meet
the delicate psychological problems
which these children represent, nor can
she give them the special training
which they require.
A child unable to attend school be-
cause of mental retardation is a serious
case, and the mother does the child a
real injustice by treating her as a nor
NAL child, which she can never be, and
thrusting her into competition with
normal children or keeping her at home
in isolation from all companionship
Both courses are open to criticism.
If they are in an environment peo-
pied by children on their own level OF
intelligence, backward children can be
trained and educated within limits, ano
made happy and contented. If theil
backwardneSs is due to a glandular de-
ficiency, medical treatment can some
times do much to help develop and i'm.
prove them. This is especially true Of
the type of child called a cretin, be-
cause OF a dehciency>~of the Thyroid
and, but any child can be improved
by the right kind of handling.
While 1t is a supreme sacrifice for the
mother to place her child in an institu-
ton or in school for backward chill
dren, for the child's sake this sacrifice
should be made. In some large cities
there are mental" clinics to which
mothers, who cannot afford to pay spe-
cialists, can take their children fol-
help and advice. From cases which ]
have noted I feel most strongly thai
these children need the special care
which can be given them only By
trained teachers and psychiatrists who
understand their limitations and theil
possibilities.

The pears may be fresh or canned.
If fresh, peel, cut the pears in halves
lengthwise, and remove the core. The
space left by the core may be filled
with seasoned cream or cottage cheese,
or with Roquefort cheese mashed and
mixed with cream using half a cupful
of the cheese to one-fourth cupful of
the cream for six pears. Cream cheese
may be piped on in fancy forms. Serve
with French dressing. The space may
be filled with mayonnaise if preferred,
in which case the pears should be
sprinkled with lemon JUICE or garnished
with a wedge of lemon or lime. If
the French dressing is used, pimento
is a good garnish. The pears may
be cubed and mixed with sliced celery
or coarsely chopped nuts instead of
being served whole.
