~ NE is apt to think of taste as
an endowment one Is born
with, like violet eyes, or gleam-
" ing golden hair-something
one has. or has not, and either
way nothing can be done about it. In
a measure, it is like an ear for music,
or mathematical sense. or any other
inborn talent or tendency. But all
talent, to be perfected, must be culti-
waited; it must be trained.
In matters of taste, training is Of
much greater importance than natural
talent. because taste is dependent upon
observation and comparison. Training
may be unconsciously acquired-exactly
as child speaks without consciousness
of study, however many languages he
happens to hear at home; exactly as
his manners are unconsciously copied
from his parents manners; exactly as
his taste is gradually cultivated Cor not
cultivateO by his surroundings.
In the whole range of good taste.
earliest training in purity of speech is
of taste-even that of ethical impulse
can be acquired at almost any age, but
the niraculously perfect ear for spoken
sound is gift tentatively proffered by
the gods to youngest children only. An
ear for music is a definite and per-
manent gift to the few, and has moth
ing to do with the point would make
that every little child can hear truly,
and therefore initiate perfectly, every
sound used in speaking every language
in the world. Each sound that is prac-
ticed from babyhood until about the
age OF eight becomes a permanent pos
session for life. But this exquisite ac-
curacy in initiating sounds begins to
fade, often as early as the age of less
than three, and is usually lost COM
pletely in the neighborhood of twelve
x x x x
IN other words, we who are grown
can pronounce, without trace of
accent, every sound that we practiced
in childhood. Beyond this fixed range
we have a varying degree of accent.
But most OF the other branches of taste
can be learned at any age. To a very
great degree, that can be learned by
rule.
For example: Suitability, which is
also the first classic law of beauty, has
two meanings: suitability to use, and
suitability to situation. Suitability to
use means that sieve will not do to
keep water in, that an ideal dwelling
must have circulation of air in Summer.
be heated in Winter, have light to see
by and be convenient in its arrange
ment. A church, for instance, might
be beautiful as a church. but would
fail completely in suitability as a dwell
ing. Suitability to situation means that
every object we choose shall be becom-
ing to the place where it is to be put.
Sometimes, even with the help of
definite rules, it is far from easy to de-
eide what is or what is not suitable.

and make point of giving the little
one place for his things. If YOU keep
putting them there as you find them,
and keep showing him where they be-
long. he IS going to learn what you
want him to know. Especially will this
be so when he has to go to that place
Tor his things when he wants them.
1t is inconvenient to have these chill
dren trotting in and out when one has
certain dedicated hours. They disturb
the quiet OF the reading hour; they in
terrupt maps; they break in on visitors
and break up intimate conversations
they put an edge on life. True enough,
they are disturbers of the peace. But
isn't there another side?
A child in the house brings back the
spirit of youth. You need that spirit
more than you know. It will renew you
in body and mind. 1t will bring back
thoughts and feelings that you thought
gone forever. Laughter will quicken
your blood, fun will tighten your step,
The interests of childhood and youth,
their play. their desires, their pleasures
will put new life into your hardening
arteries and rob your old joints of some
of the rheumatism that threatens them.
Children will push back old age to the
vanishing point, if you will only give
them q chance.
I am not asking that you surrender
your home, the customs of q lifetime,
for the whims of child. am asking
for chance for this child, am plead
ing for place for him in your heart
as well as in your home. Don't groan
every time he fails, spills box of clat-
tering toys, and leaves his things all
over the place. Smile, even II It hurts
you, and you'll learn to like it and him.

Room for Child
BY ANGELO PATRI.

THIS is an appeal to the elderly peo-
ple. settled in their habits, to give
kne child who has been forced to live
with them, chance for his life.
Please, you fathers and mothers and
aunts and uncles who have opened your
homes to the homeless ones of your
family, open your hearts and your
minds to them at the same time. A
child is an active little creature, not a
finished personality like yourselves. Give
him a chance.
He wakens early and his first instinct
Is to crow, to chirp, to shrek, to make
q joyful noise as all other little crea-
lures do when the dawn breaks. He
needs to do this to open his lungs, to
stretch his body, increase his circulation
and breathing. 1t Is part OF his
health exercise. Let him do his noises
and learn to smile at them, even If
they take the form Of howls. You can
suffer them joyfully II you tell your
self, 1.-THE little chap is growing" Noise
Is lust the normal accompaniment OF
erowth. Nature is wasteful, to our eyes
and ears. but how sane she is.

Being Graceful
BY LOIS LEEDS.

ALMOST any girl can be good looking
if she keeps herself well-groomed
md beccmingly dressed. But very
often these synthetic beauties lose their
charm when they stop posing and be-
gin to walk about For not many girls
snow how to be graceful in motion
rs well as at rest. They are heavy
looted or else mince along at a swift
choppy gait Their gestures are awk-
ward and their dancing is stiff and
lacking in rhythm.
When these girls write to me for
advice, I always tell them that grace
md lightness of foot depend primarily
On the condition of their feet. When
one has fiat foot or corns one cannot
walk or dance like fairy. The wrong
kind of shoes makes one hobble instead
Of float. So one must begin at the
graceful carriage.
Arch weakness is very common even
among younng people. If taken in
time it can be cured by an improve
-ment in general physical fitness, eXer-
else and correct footwear. So the first
thing to do toward light-footedness is
to tone up your whole system by hy-
gienic habits, then do special foot ex-
ercises daily and wear proper shoes.
Next make the ankles strong and sup
pie by exercising them and avoiding
heels that are run over, or too high.
Third, take the stiffness out of your
knees by regular exercise. Include also
IN your program some general exercises
for developing the sense of rhythm. Do
the exercises suggested below for 10
minutes twice day.
ID. Strengthening the feet. Sit on
q nh oirs uyif hor I'M
pencils or marbles by curling your toes
over them. Stand up; raise and lower
heels slowly. Lie on your back on the
floor, bend knees up on chest. soles of
feet toward ceiling. Juggle large ball
on your feet without letting it fall to
the floor
(2). For the ankles. Stand erect,
hands on hips. Throw your weight onto
your right foot while stretching the
other leg out in front with the toe
pointed. Raise the heel of the back
foot and transfer weight to pointing
toe. Point forward with right toe and
repeat. For another exercise, hop
lightly on one foot, then on the other.
Now sit down, cross legs and rotate
the foot at the ankle.
90. For the knees. Deep knee bend
Ing with feet parallel. and again with
one foot in advance of the other. Sta
tionary running. Skipping rope. A
more difficult exercise is begun by
crouching on the floor. knees bent and
hands on the floor between them. With
q quick spring throw the legs out
straight behind, feet together, then
spring back to the crouching position.
"a. Rhythm exercise to be done to
music If possible. Stand with feet
parallel and slightly apart, arms hang
Ing at sides. Sway the trunk gently
from side to side. swinging both arms
In the opposite direction. Now add leg
movements. AS you swing arms to the
right, swing the left leg over in front
Of the right with the toe pointed. head
turning to left. Repeat rhythmically
with each leg alternately. Now do glide
steps around the room several times.
This is begun by sliding the left foot
directly to that side, both knees
slightly bent as right foot follows left
then rise on toes, another slide left,
and so on.

The Qualities of Taste
BY EMILY POST.

wide knowledge. There Is, however, one
homely quality of unfailing usefulness
common sense Common sense has, per-
haps, done more for beauty in every
phase of life than any other attribute,
because common sense invariably
chooses practical things, and practical
things are invariably suitable things.
They must be!
THERE are also certain other require
ments that are essential to beauty
exactly as words are essential to a
sentence. No object, whether it be a
building. table implement, piece Of
furniture or a personal, possession, can
be considered completely beautiful, un-
less it have beauty of form, proportion,
scale and balance. There are several
other attributes, but they are of less i'm
portance.
Form as you, of course, know, means
the outline or shape of anything; pro-
portion means that each detail shall be
in harmony with the design as a whole.
Scale means the relative size of each
object in proportion to every other OBJ
ject related to it. Proportion is not
only the outstanding test of esthetic
perfection but equally the test Of beau
tiful living. Estheticaly, it is the abil-
ity to appraise the shape, size. weight
and texture of each detail in relation to
the object as whole. Humanity, 1t is
the ability to see ourselves in true per-
spective to the world as whole.
The most easily acquired expression
of taste is taste in clothes. Millions of
American women know how to choose
clothes becoming to themselves and
have a knack of putting them on ef-
fectively. This is not only because they
have unlimited opportunity to look at
clotheS-on other women, on the stage
or screen, in newspapers and in maga-
zines-everywhere in public-but be-
cause every woman must practice
choosing or perhaps making clothes for
herself and her children every so often.
DERFECT taste in house building or
furnishing is more difficult because
comparatively few Of us have repeated
practice in house building or furnish
ing. We build a house once in life
time. perhaps. Or very likely we never
build one at all. Moreover, the house
interiors that most of us see are apt to
be limited to those of our friends. These
may, Of course, be the best possible ex-
amples, or they may not.
The highest quality of taste is un-
erring perception of ethical as well as
esthetic standards-but that Is an
other topic.

A Popcorn Ball
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

IN THESE days, when financial prob
lens are SO generally harassing,
there is tendency to curtail in en-
tertaining. While this seems natural
result, it is, nevertheless, to be de-
plored. It is when spirits are low that
the heartening Of congenial companion
ship is most needed. These social events
that do not drain, or even strain, the
purse, are actual investments in good
health for host and hostess, as well as
guests. It has been demonstrated that
good cheer promotes well-being. and
when person is well he or she can
best compete with problems. So let
us not cut down too decidedly on the
pleasant means Of promoting health
and success.
In order to do this with no reaction
in the thought of too much money
spent, which would come on the per-
sons entertaining, If it were done too
lavishly, let me suggest new party.
the popcorn ball, which can be given
at trifiing cost.
The word ball suggests evening dress,
or at least dainty frocks. These add
glamour to an occasion, yet no one
need get anything new. Before the
event the hostess pops corn, dips some
kernels in vegetable dyes Of different
colors, wires few kernels with one
color, edging them with green. and
makes two ppsegays of similar colors,
and as many nosegays as there are
guests. These she arranges In two little
baskets. From these she presents bou-
q1ets to the men and the women.
Matching bouquets secures partners for
the first dance. The music can be on
the radio or by different persons whom
the hostess asks beforehand to play for
one dance. The cost Of musicians
should be eliminated

corn, which can be ready, or be popped
as part of the entertainment. The

Turning Tables
By JEAN NEWTON.

Dear Jean Newton-What can I do
to overcome a most childish shyness
and embarrassment on meeting people?
Among those whom I know well I am
considered fairly good conversation
aliSt. think am as intelligent as the
average woman who does not suffer
this way in making new contacts. I
am not self-conscious in any other way,
except on meeting new people, as. I
have said. Then am absolutely tongue
tied, and doubtless give the impression
OF being very stupid. Afterward, when
/ am alone, thinking back over things
that were said, I instantly think of good
answers of the right thing to have been
given under the circumstances. But
when this is needed it doesn't come
Can you give me an idea as to how to
cure this defect?
The difficulty of which our reader
writes is not nearly so unusual as she
seems to believe. Many people who
are good thinkers and can hold their
own in any exchange of ideas among
their friends do not make a good first
impression for precisely the same
4CooO4k- tAiCy dlC AOt az t1iCn bCce
when meeting people.
As nearly as can figure it out. this
would seem to spring really from too
much concern about what the people
you meet think about you. When you
are unconcerned you can be yourself.
But when you are thinking about what
the other person is thinking Of you,
when you are eager to make an i'm
preston, you are not yourself at all.
You are at your worst. Conversation
ally, you either shut up completely be-
cause of self consciousness or you say
things which sound foolish to you.
Out of the dark, dim past, some
thing comes to me which may help a
little. 1t Is the thought that the people
we are so concerned about are not
thinking about us at all; they are
wondering what we are thinking about
them!
Hold that thought. Dear Reader.
when you next meet strangers. 1t may
help to take your mind off yourself
and then you will be yourself!
