"Big Slster"-Blight or Blessing to
 "Littlc Brother"
 Not being an ancient Greek who always seemed to have such per- feet permanents, I have to hle me for Q wave once ever so often.
 I was getting beautifm in nearby shop recently. It was one of those nice little places where US regular party and the children waiting their turn for the barber's chair run around loose and in- spect all the customers in various stages of transformation. Two sets interested me. mean two sets of children.
 The first consisted of a sister and brother, the girl & child of seven or eight and the boy about five. Their mother sat complac- ently by while they explored. They bothered nobody and that part or 1t was all right. But my quick ears caught few words Of the little girl. She was bullying her brother. -
 A Shocking Attitude
 "I'm going out" he announced.
 "I hope you'll fall down and get hurt" she said, picking up Q bobby pin from the floor and examining | it. Her tone was as casual as II she had said, Its pretty day" I was thunderstruck and natur- ally strained my ears for every remark of this sadistic youngster. Each child had a little toy Tn Q box, something bought on the way | to the shop, I suppose. I couldn [ quite make out what they were. Junior opened the end of his box and drew the little wooden gadget halfway out. "I wish you would take it out so f could break 1t for you," said the sister in a smooth voice that gave me cniil. He was a sweet little fellow With a mop of dark hair. On his 1ore- head was.an ugly looking cut. He came over to watch me so l said, "IIow did you get hurt? Did you fall?"
 Proud of Prowess Before he could answer sister was right there. "I did it." she said proudly.
 "What! Howl" I demanded. "I didn't do it with a knife,
 
 it with my fingers" Both children were so casual ! couldn't quite get the idea. Was | it clearly a case of persecution, | the jealousy of the oldest for the youngest, or sheer devilishness. What have had room to tell here isn't third of what went on. Probably their mother did not hear. But of course she knew the situation. A boys life not worth living with an older sister like that. The whole thing was so warped, so unnatural, I have not been able to get it out of my mind.
 The other family?
 The baby, a little chap Of three or so, sat in the barber's chair, one of the happiest, cutest children I have ever had the luck to see.
 Picture of Kindnes
 His two older sisters hovered near. They couldn't be nice enough to him, those little girls couldn't. One of them would go up, take his chubby hand in hers and lay 1t against her cheek.
 I studied the faces of that trio, and the faces of my poor little martyr and his inquisitor. What contrast.
 Surely, surely children don't in- herit such widely different traits. Their mothers outwardly looked about the same, gentle and well dressed. But what a world of dif- ference there must be in the rela- tionships of those homes.

 laughed at Sally's indignation, but I calmed her down little by saying that all men-not Dick alone-were in the habit of sneaking away with bit of cream or lotion. "They usually don't buy it for themselves" I went on, Out they do need special care for their skin, just as women do. Why not surprise Dick by discovering a set of beauty aids that he'll like--and pse?"

ly. "It's no use," Teacher" she said. I've looked all over. And Dick just won't use anything scented"
 Then I told Sally that 8 real
 beauty detective must never give
 up. 1 advised her to get Dick a
 tube of pasteurized camphorated cream. Its cooling, soothing effect after shaving would be good for
 his skin. I advised 6 special bottle
 of skin toning lotion too-a milky, scentless liquid just like Sally's-
 which men find just as good to use. And if you want to make a special hit with Dick, get him some beauty grains" I went on. Hell love the way those soapy grains
 penetrate deep into the pores and lift out every bit of dirt. They will
 keep his skin smooth, fine and un- blemished, too"
 Sally laughed. "This is really ad-

 I certainly am glad to get 1t. Dick is going to have a pleasant
 surprise tonight. There's just one
 more thing-but I've been detective enough to find the answer to that, myself. My herbal shampoo has
 been disappearing almost as fast
 as I bought 1t. I'm gonig to buy some for Dick and add that to his

NANCY IS THRILLED WITH A VISITOR

"Mrs. Becker?" the operator'e cool courteous voice interrogatoos "Just a minute, please?"
 Then a mans deep voice was speaking. "Nancy?"
 "oh yes, Arnold!"
 race looked at Nancy and then strolled to the long window at the far end of the room and stood gazing into the street where tho rain fell furiously.
 "Im downstairs" Page was saying. May I come up? Are Arnold"
 Nancy replaced the receiver and stood leaning against the desk which held the phone. Grace reached for her hat and coat.
 I'm doing the disappearing stunt, Nancy. Good luck! And happiness! And I hope the wrongs are all righted. Oh Nancy ."
 Her coat and hat were on now.
 "Gracie, you're a darling! r. II-Oh I want to change my dress. Black and white are smart. She surveyed the trim black frock with its soft white collar an volumin- ous sleeves that held great white cuffs. "Black and white are 8 lit- tie too smart: I have a rose-red frock that's warmer, more addur- ing. I'm going to change" | In minute she was ready. Her long eyes shone darkly under the heavy black lashes. Her hair, smooth and shining, lay coiled against her white skin in pro- vocative knot.

 | Nancy looked at herself in the long glass door as she waited for the man who's she had loved so madly and so fiercely years ago to come. What did he want? And did it matter now? Was she in love with him? Or was she mere- 1y in love with an old romance? And how was she to know.
 She smiled at herself.

"It's splendid to see you. It was nice of you to let me come up."
 "It was lovely of you to want to come. I hear you are sailing soon. Won't you sit down?" Words, quiet words that meant nothing.
 "How did you know? I hadn't told anyone" he said then, and his voice and eyes were curious.
 Words drift here and there even when one doesn't tell" Nancy answered. "Are you staying long ?"

 "It must be nice-to have work to do." The dark rain beat against the windows and the wind walled down the street, and 1t seemed to Nancy that already a continent and an ocean lay between her and the man who sat on the other side of the hearth.

GLORIFYING
 YOURSELF
By Alicia Hart
6i3yz6S NE1 SEkVEE INS;:

This is a prize year to get a grand reputation for daintiness.
 Daintiness is next to beauty, m the scale of charm. It even mas the edge on beauty. for steady company.
 Daintiness, to put 1t bluntly' means immaculate cleanliness scrupulous grooming, clothes so fresh they look as if you had stepped out of a bandbox and then that delicate, fresh fragrance that every woman craves.
 If you are wearing white COT. lars and. cuffs, don't be a lazy giri and decide they'll do the second day. They may do all right pu' you will have forfeited your dain. tiness appeal. Get a couple or pairs and keep them washed ana ironed to perfection.
 If you have white hats. be very careful about them. They are luxury unless they wash or you can clean them yourself. White gloves arc quite as much nus. ance. but how nice they do LOOK! It's worth the trouble.

WHITE COMES OUT
 ON TOP FOR CHIC
BY JOAN SAVOY .NEA Service Writer

Crisp, white accents make the costumes this spring.
 However, most folks are some- what sick of the same old white collars and cuffs, white bows and white flowers bedecking black or blue suits and dresses.
 The newest expression of this spring mode is to top a dark cos- tune wiht white upper and white hat.
 Something very different from most spring things is this hand some blue crepe frock with it's white waffle pique cape, gloves and hat ensemble.
 The dress has flatetring lines, a rhinestone buckled belt, sleeves that flare over the elbows in new manner and then make tight cuffs, and modest fullness in tts moderately long skirt.
 The piece de resistance is the pert little cape and hat. The cape fits snugly about tn shoulders, and a piquant bow ties in front. The cape buttons under the tie, so stays put. There are little scal- lops outlining the edge of the short cape and the bow, too.
 The gloves are serviceable and decorative little short pull-ons The beauty of these little gloves this season is their washableness They're as easy to keep clean as a hanky! And nothing introduc. ed to chic women in many years has had the zestful touch new gloves have.
 The hat is a tricky little draped business, with two little ear. sticking up to hear what's going on in the world. They give tho wearer an alert look that is very pleasing with her lady-look attire
