Your Health and Diet

Anything just so its not goc
for me-" was the answer.
One of the strongest emo
tional drives in childhood is to
be noticed. Some children find
that the best way to do this is
not to eat. In one family a
long, grim battle between
mother and an aunt on one
side, and a little boy who woulc
not eat unless he was urged
and coaxed and begged, was
terminated when the father
gave orders that no one was to
notice whether the child ate or
not.
During the first meal at
which this policy was carried
out, nothing happened for 10
minutes and then the culprit
announced in a hurt tone. I'm
not eating" rs that SOP" was
all the satisfaction he got. FL
nally he burst into tears, say
ing: Nobody pays any atten-
ton to me any more when l
don't eat" But he ate without
coaxing afterwards.

Now that summer is coming
on, little girls will wear hair
ribbons more than ever. The
fashion has been gaining in
popularity for several seasons
and its a particularly good
hot-weather idea, as a ribbon
pushes growing hair off the face
and offers a good deal of cool
ness and comfort. It's nice to
accent the color of your frock,
or the trimming, with a match
ing ribbon. Hairbows are used
too. just a bow perched at
becoming angle. They give a
little girl a very feminine look,
which is part of the trend away
from extreme boyishness
Bows or Bands
Satin and taffeta ribbons
are both used. in a width that
is known in the stores as num-
Der nine. Pastels and a few
bright colors are the favorites.
and even plaids are returning,
making quaint bows for plaits,
or tied to a piece of hair above
the temple. A ribbon all the
way around the head is used
with rather short hair, with
bobbed hair and with hair that
is growing longer. incidentally,
many girls are letting their
hair grow this year, another
part of that feminine trend.
The bow is usually perched on
the side, if the hair is parted
on the side, but it's pert and
quaint on top, if he hair is
pared in the middle.

Being a modern parent is get
ting to be a full time job. Not
only are the ancient inalienable
rights of the parent to provide
the child with food, clothes,
housing and other necessities
still operative and even more
burdensome than ever, but now
adays the parent is supposed to
know the sciences of psyche
logy, nutrition, dietetics immu-
nology and several others.
A recent article by Ada Hart
Arlitt, in the Journal of the
American Dietetic Association,
furnishes some sound hints for
parents in influencing the
child's attitude toward its food.
Conditioning the child cgainSt
wholesome food is very easy.
Some little care and forethought
will prevent mistakes in this re-
spect. For instance, if a child
is on a diet, sharp warnings to
avoid the foods not prescribed
will often result in antagoniz-
ing the child against those
foods forever. Miss Arlitt Sug-
gestS that a more wholesome
manner of directing would be
to say: EAT . all these foods
that you we on the list and
this will make you so we'll that
you can eat all these delicious
things"
Too severe insistence may re-
suit in the attitude of the little
girl who was taken by her uncle
to a restaurant. What will you
have to eat?" he inquired.

toothpicks, which are often re-
sponsible for abrasions and sub

Doesn't Like a Rival
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

I have been going with a
very nice young boy who Is now
angry with me because I re-
fused to marry him. I thought
we were too young. He has
therefore started going out with
another girl, and although 1
am not the jealous type, it
makes me very unhappy to
have a rival. I love this boy
dearly, and although 1 have
plenty of other admirers, I
do not want to give him up.
Do you think I should wait for
him to come back to me, or
what should I do?
WAITING.
Since you are both very
young, I think it is best that
you go out as much as possible
with other boys, and try to
forget this one. At least, do
not stay at home waiting for
him to come back. If he had
been the understanding sort
of a person that a husband
should be, he would not have
been angry at your refusal to
marry. If he does come back,
explain that you like him ire
mendously, and would like to
keep him for a friend, but
don't let him know how much
you care about that rival!
