Dear Mrs. Post: When I take a girl
to dance and also tell friends who
are going to the same dance that I will
call for them, because they have no
car, is there any etiquette about whom
I call for flrst-friendS or my girl?"
Answer: I should think this would
depend upon where they live. If your
friends live near you, and the girl lives
near the place where the dance is
given, you would stop for your friends
first. But if not too out of the way,
you would naturally go for the girl first

r TEIGHT and weight charts always
u seem more arbitrary to the
poor mother whose child does
L Il not measure up to them. She
wants so badly to have her
child weigh exactly what the chart says
he should weigh that she forgetS all
charts mirror only average and not JIM
dividual children. Very often child IS
nearer to the charts averages than she
suspects, for children of the same age
vary greatly in height; and it is the
relation of weight to height which
should strike true balance in the
we'll fed child, and not weight to age
A well fed child. whose environment
is good. whose physical condition is
good, whose diet is good. should come
within one or two pounds of being as
heavy as the weight chart says. Con-
suit the weight chart and if the child's
weight does not come within the level
We call normal, he needs some atten-
ton. For mothers who wish to check
up on their children's weight, I have
prepared leaf1et, age, Height and
Weight Tables" Specify the age of
your child and send self-addressed
stamped envelope with your request to
me in care Of this newspaper.
The underweight child may need a
physical overhauling. Enlarged tonsils,
infected adenoids, or anemia affect the
appetite and thus the intake of food
and the weight. Also, the diet NAV
need improvement, for mothers are not
all conversant with those foods which
put on weight and those which are
essential but are not inclined to in
crease the deposit of fat. Because a
diet should be balanced with all of
those foods. a good diet chart for the
child should hang in every kitchen
cupboard, where the mother may easily
refer to it.
The underweight child probably needs
more rest. This last may seem i'm
possible to the mother, as underweight
children are nervously energetic and
often foil all efforts to get them to rest.
But there are ways in which this may
be accomplished. Perhaps the child
will not take a nap, and cries and
fuses SO that the insistence upon it
becomes travesty. But most children
can be brought in the house Is to 80
minutes before lunch and offered some
quiet amusement that will keep them
of their feet until meal time arrives.
That rest period puts them in a mood
to enjoy their food, and, what is Just
as important, eat more of it.
Immediately after lunch it should be
taken for granted that whether the
child sleeps or not, the next hour is a
rest period. It wouldn't hurt the
mother to take that opportunity to rest,
and in her company the child may be
more content to lie quietly and rest,
even If sleep refuses to embrace him.
Again, before dinner, there should be
half-hour of quiet play. Tired chill
dren, those who have most strenuously
refused to nap, are just the ones who
fall asleep over their evening meals OF
wear themselves out fretting.
These rest periods seem like small
matters, but hitched to diet and cou-

Billy to speak to for long time, but
really knew little about him. 1t often
is that way with neigbbors, even close

A Little Saturday Talk.

TINE other day, just before I was
to give a talk in the assembly
room of a school, the principal
i showed me two scrapbooks which
were lying on her desk
"You will be interested in these" she
said.
In large, well-formed letters on each
of the books was the word Europe u
and when turned the leaves I found
in each of them eight or 10 articles
about Europe which appeared in the
Corner and were clipped by the pupils
for the project.
I am pleased when see new ex-
amples of school projects. One class
in another school displayed a Greek
temple which had been made from pa
per, and in still another school found

Stone Age people (doll-like figures Clad
in fur around it.
In stories which I write during the
school year, I try to tell about things
which will be useful to pupils studying
history, science and geography. 1t is
hard to be sure which series will be
most popular. Stories about masters
of music seem to have found wide
use in school, and requests for the lives
of other musicians have come to me

He grew to be one Of the few out

beautiful small towns in the country.
A descendent Of a feudal English

He used this philosophy in building

quarters were housed under the same
roof.
He opened up his private golf course
to the entire city and built beautiful
Spanish style civic building.
Then he started wondering what else
he could do, and finally determined to
build home fine enough to be turned
into an artists haven when he was
through with it.
He had both Hampton Court and
Versailles Gardens copied, running at
fan-wise angles from one side of his
home. 1t was his idea to bring tradi-
tional beauty to that spot with the
hope of intoxicating love of beauty in
all who came to see.
Even the garages and servant quar-
ters were in the same beautiful Spanish
style, and could be turned into studios

How the redskins had bitten the dust.

MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE.
How Do You Do It?

How Do You Do It?
It's good to know that you have never
quailed,
However hard the struggle may have
been;
That you have never covered when as
sailed,
But always sought undauntedly to
win.
The knowledge that you don't know
how to quit
Will later bring true happiness to
you,
AS for myself, cheerfully admit,
do.
It's good to know that when the day is
done
No gnawing conscience calls you by
your name
And tells you that strong man would
have won
Instead of lost-like you-the grind
ing game.
That he can never quaver in fray
Brings peace and consolation to
man,
However, regretfully must say
I can.
1t heartens you, as on your couch you
lie.
Before you sink to placid dreams and
rest,
If, while the bitter, dreary hours went
by,
In every circumstance you did your
best.
But if you put your back against the
wall
And faced whatever trouble there
might be,
Without single qualrn, you're not at all
Like me.
If you have never quailed or turned
aside,
But met your tribulations with .
smile,
If you are driven, by unflinching pride,
To beard rough fate, and never vince
the while,
If YOU on no occasion turn and run,
Though nearly all your forces have
been spent,
think that you must be too fond of
punishment.
