appear Enthusiastically during
the adult years.
It is sad to behold so many
boys and girls grow into un-
happy and maladjusted men
and women for no other reason
than that their loving parents
were too forgiving and fused
over them too much. After
all, life gives many hard
knock. A robust nature must
therefore be fashioned during
the tender years which will
act as a bulwark against the
onruSh of adversity later on.
A soft and flabby character,
caused by over-petting, is sure
to suffer. Even if it hurts,
we must inculcate sterling and,
if necessary, Spartan principles
into our children'S minds While
they are young.
What, specifically, are the
evil effects of too much caress-
ing and forgiveness?
Convictions of superiority are
bound to develop for one thing.
Conceit and selfishneSS must
likewise result. Incidence and
downright lazinesS are fire.
quently met with.
Accustomed as he is to re-
ceiving affection rather than
giving it, such a child loses the
urge to please his parents as
we'll as strangers. He has
learned, of course, that every
thing comes his way without
effort on his own part. So he
waits. And he never learns
what fun there is in rousing
The Washington times., 1933-08-02

himself energetically in order
to overcome obstacles and win.
Continual loving and kissing
presents another pernicious
angle which is even more de-
vastating for a child's future
than the points already made.
For always does it prepare a
favorable soil for the sprout-
ing of sensuousness, not to
mention neurotic symptoms
which can so easily blight an
otherwise hopeful life. Besides,
adults who have been petted
extravagantly as children u.s.
ually are excessively seclusive,
retiring and asocial in their
human relationships.
Give your child affection, yes.
In fact, he needs a lot of it.
But as soon as you note that it
is softening his character too
much, withhold your love, your
praise, even, if necessary, your
forgiveness. A house that will
stand and endure must be firm
ly built upon rock.
DR.. BiSch's Daily Diet Hint
Two disorders which are di-
rectly traceable to deficiency Of
vitamins in the diet are rickets
and Scurvy. Rickets reveals it
self in deformities of bone
growth. Such patients need
Vitamin D, which is contained
in cod liver oil. Scurvy, which
used to be fairly common among
sailors years ago. is due to lack
of Vitamin C. This last is to be
found in orange, lemon, and
tomato juices.

The two colors that are
most talked of now for fall
wear, are eel gray and
"mouskin." You have probably
already seen eel gray, a dark
almost g,.-4metal tone. l. = good
in coats and furs as well as in
dresses, for fur may be dyed
that color, and many furs,
such as silver fox, are not real
ly black but a grayish tone.
So that it's easy to get an en-
semble in such a color, begin
ming with a coat. Mouskin, SO
called from either the moose
or the mouse, is a warmer,
taupe tone, and is undoubtedly
due for great popularity. The
taupes have been on the way
for some time, and all good
fashion observers believe that
this will be the season when
they will become really popu-
lar. This color is dark, but
not quite as gray as eel gray,
and is good for furs and coats
too.
New Supple Fabrics
In shopping about for clothes
to sketch in these new colors,
we found very few, because the
colorS are so new, but those we
did find are smart indeed, and
point to an attractive fall sea-
son. On the right in your
sketch you see a costume in
eel gray. 1t is of a crinkled
Satin-back crepe, a lovely sup
pie fabric with depth of beauty
in its surface. Eel gray satin
makes the cape shoulders and
sleeves of the jacket, and the
ruffled shoulders of the dress,
which is sketched separately in
the center. The dress is so
good alone, without it's jacket
that we thought it deserved a
separate sketch. With the
jocket, it is an excellent street
costume. and without it, an
afternoon gown.
Satin for Accent
On the left is a dress of
mouskin silk faille. This fabric
is lovely too, soft and supple,
not too heavy, yet not thin.
There is a satin yoke effect
that continues into wide shoul-
der epaulets, and the belt is
of satin too. Stunning crystal
buttons hold the belt, and
there's a matching bar on the
jabot. The sleeves are a new
shape and long for fall correct
ness. These are $3.50 each,
and come in misses sizes.
For fashion information, or
the name of the store showing
these costumes, write Miss
Laville, enclosing Self-addressed,
stamped envelope, or. call Dis
trict $3.50, extension 1879.

Instead of leading back q
spade, West might have led a
diamond, which would have
been too foolish to discuss,
enabling the declarer to accom-
plish his Cross-ruffing without
an attempt to better conditions.
West might have led back a
CLUB, but this lead would have
enabled the declarer to con-
tinue his cross-ruffing, merely
through permitting dummy to
lead the spade, just as West
was blamed for doing. If the
comments did not mean that
leading back either a diamond
or a club, instead of a spade,
would have saved fulfillment Of
contract, the wranglers must
have meant that a return lead
to West of a trump would have
defeated South.
Try cutting down dummy'S
ability to trump clubs after de-
clarer has won his first two
tricks with the Ace of spades
and the Ace of clubs. and West
has won the third trick with
his j of clubs. Lead Vests 9
of hearts. Let this trick be
won with the declarer's 10.
Have South lead and trump
his third club. This will take
out dummy's last trump, leav-
ing the declarer with a losing
club, while East holds the K
of clubs. South will gain entry
to his own hand by leading a
spade from dummy. This will
give the declarer tricks out
of the 6 tricks played thus far.
Tricks 7 through 10 will be
won by trump leads, leaving the
following three cards in each of
the players hands: Declarer,
one trump, one club. one dia-
mond; West, one good spade, K
10 diamonds; Dummy, one los
ing spade, Al of diamonds;
East, % of diamonds. one top
club. When the declarer leads
his last trump he has a per-
feet squeeze. West must keep
his good spade or dummy will
win one spade and one diamond
trick. If West keeps his spade
he must unguard his K of dia-
monds. East must keep his top
club or the declarer's will win.
Nothing can defeat the contract.

The Beauty
Box
BY HELEN FOLLETT

If a girl aspires to be COM
plexion counterfeiter, placing
over the skin to which she is
naturally attached a drug store
coating, let her cultivate skill
full hand so that what she
achieves will pass for genuine
beauty coin. That's wisdom.
But alas, some of the pretty
babies use SO much lipStick,
such bright tinted bushes, that
their own mammaS scarcely rec
ognize them.
The tendency now is toward
Subdued effects, rouge often not
called into use at all, but eye
lids shaded with seductive art,
lips given nothing more than
the color of health.
The purpose of makeup is to
supply what nature has with
held. A little freshens the skin,
makes the face vivid. Too much
makes the face hard and mask
like.
It looks as if there's not a
long g-haired woman left on the
face of the land. It is to
laugh when one remembers
that the first bobbing frenzy
was regarded as a passing fad.
Of what use is pigtail ma
terial, One merely wads it up
into a bun. Three or four
inches of locks will suffice for
waves and ringlets, form the
snug coiffure that makes the
head look neat and smart.

Over-Petting q Child Does Him
Real Harm
The desire to caress and pet
a child, especially if he be your
own, is well-nigh irresistible.
The little ones make such a
strong appeal to our protective
instinct, while at the same
time they offer such an invit-
ing outlet for the outpouring of
our fectionS, that only
through the deliberate exercise
Of our reasoning and Will-poWer
can we stop ourselves from
OVERRIDING it.
Letting ourselves go that way
is perhaps good for us because
it sets free much of our pent-up
emotion. For the child, how
ever, and no matter how much
he may crave such attention,
too much loving care is dis
tinctly bad.
A child'S innocence and help
lesSneSs are what make the
strongest appeals. They seem
to trust us so, and to believe
in everything we do and say.
They are quite willing, nay
eager, to accept us at face
value without further question
ing.
That is really why we must
measure up fully to the trust
our children place in us. Spe-
cially careful should we be to
make the best possible use of
this idolatry on their part so
that they, as well as we our
selves, will have no cause for
complaint when the character
traits laid down in childhood

Advice To
,oveIorn
Someone Spread Stories

Someone Spread Stories
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have been going steady"
with a boy for several months;
he is 20 and I am II. He came
over last Wednesday evening,
and everything was rosy for a
while until he heard that some
boy had talked about him and
spread a rather nasty story. I
know who the boy was and re-
fused to disclose his name. Then
my friend became angry and
said I should either tell the
name of the boy or it was
quits" for us. He asked me my
decision, and said: Quits"
But I care a great deal for him.
Was it my fault for not giving
the other party's name? Or
was it his for demanding it?
LONNY.
It is very unWise to repeat
gossipy and unfavorable stories
about ones friends. Better let
them die out unrepeated. To
my way of thinking, whoever re-
peated the story in the first
place was the guilty party. and
you would have only made a
bad situation worse by giving
the tattler'S name.
Young people could, if they
would, start move in the right
direction by declining to listen
to or repeat these stupid stories.
One girl wrote me of a ''cure" in
her home town. All gossips,
male and female, were pre-
sented with tattling-shuttles, so
that they could "tat" and "tat-
tie" simultaneously.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
It's exactly a week ago today
that I met a young man from
a different city. He took a
liking to me and I to him.
He is 30 years and I am 25
years of age. But here's the
point. He is divorced. and has
been for two years. Do you
think that if he weren't Seri-
Gus he'd tell me all about him.
self as he did? I haven't had
very many love affairs, nor
have I gone out so very much.
I'm not good looking, but am
a good dresser and also hold
a very good job.
My folks met him and think
he's nice, but I haven't as
yet told them he is divorced.
I'm very much afraid to tell
them, for fear it would preju-
dice them against our acquain-
tance. L. M.
Since this young man has
been so frank with you about
his divorce, why not find out
the grounds on which it was
granted? And if it doesn't re-
fleet upon his moral character,
it is more than likely that
your family will not object to
his attentions to you, unless
they belong to a faith that is
unalterably opposed to the re-
marriage of divorced persons

Really It's not important" ;"
she said gallantly. "You need
not apologize. 1t was nothing"
Are you sure?" he asked and
she knew that he was vastly
relieved.
"Quite sure"
II can promise you, 1 think"
he said Soberly, that I will
never trouble you that way
again"
Let's stop talking about it,"
she burst out, suddenly furious.
You are angry"
81 tell you that I'm not!"
"Then we're friends again?"
"Of course we are" she in
sisted. why shouldn't we be?"
Puzzled
Clark was puzzled and con-
fused, vaguely dissatisfied, but
with all a mans horror of
scenes and tears. He was afraid
that at any moment she might
cry again. Patricia saw his fear.
Please" she said, may I
have a cigarette?"
II didn't know you smoked"
Il don't, not often" she told
him and added composedly. Il
feel like smoking now" After
he had lighted her cigarette,
she said quite simply, II don't
know what got into me a little
while back. I was awfully silly"
"You were sweet" he said.
The girl felt oddly flat. Had
he guessed nothing of the
storm in her heart? Or had
he guessed and chosen to con-
ceal his knowledge? His atti-
tude was what it had always
been, friendly, serene and in
terested. His course was wise.
It was the only possible line to
take. She should rejoice in his
tact and wisdom. She didn't.
Now" he was saying in his
concerned and anxious tones,
"you must tell me exactly what
was troubling you when I came
into the room" He smiled.
Maybe I can help"
Really it was nothing"
'It was the bridge match" he
declared intuitively, "the match
that Julian has set his heart on.
Isn't that it? He told mother
all about it at dinner"
Maybe" she conceded, not
wishing to discuss the affair at
all, really longing to get away.
Why should she sit here talking
with him? Why should she con-
slider him a factor in her af-
fairs? She said remotely. "Ju-
lian and didn't agree at first
about the terms. I agree with
him now, so there isn't any
thing for you and me to talk
about"
DOubiOus Glory
He hesitated, reluctant to
criticize Julian Haverholt's
methods, yet feeling sharply
critical at the position in which
he had placed the girl. 1t was
all very we'll for Julian to shout
from the houSetops that he was
not a gentleman and had no de-
sire to be, all very we'll for him
to hail himself publicly as a
bridge sharp and to spring into
headlines as such. For him to
confer that dubious glory upon
a young and inexperienced girl
was something else. So Clark
thought. He glanced at Patri-
cia. Her face was distinctly
unencouraging.
At length he ventured, Are
you sure you are happy about
the match?"
I'm very happy" she advised
him, a warning CLINT in her eye.
"Why shouldn't I be? It's a
marvellous chance for Julian
and me. Don't you think SOP"
He looked unhappy.

card player to judge close ques-
tionS properly. The following
hand was bid up to 6.HeartS,
and doubled by East. The

spades. The declarer won with
his Ace. South led his Ace of
clubs, followed by a small Ole.
Vests j held the trick. West
led back a spade, and the de-
clarer fulfilled his small slam
contract, by allowing dummy
to ruff two clubs, while the
declarer ruffed spades. East
blamed his partner for being

ing in spades. claiming that
almost any other lead would

RECOVERY DRIVE
Retailers Over Nation Join
Federal Program in Larger
Numbers.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,
Press Business Writer.


Trade reports to the Government in
dicate cooperation locally among retail
merchants in communities throughout
the Nation has increased considerably
during the last three months, appar
emily the outgrowth of the discussion
of codes under the National Recovery
Administration.
Such cooperation, which is said to
be entirely separate from the quite gen.
orally adopted blanket codes providing
only for hours of labor and wages, has
taken many forms and the local groups
have adopted codes" for mutual agree
ment on trade practices in the COM
munity in a wide variety Of fields.
One instance was an agreement
among the cut-rate drug stores and
other pharmacists in st. Louis not to
advertise articles below an agreed level;
another was between Atlanta chain
grocery stores and independent stores
not to sell staple items at drastically
low prices without advising the grocers'
association in advance of the prices to
be charged.
Still other instances reported includ-
ed a utility-dealer merchandising agree
ment in the Rocky Mountain States; a
compact among Fort Scott, Kans.,
grocers that they will forfeit a cash
bond If goods are sold at less than 10
per cent above cost; agreed schedules
of charges for alterations and other
merchandising matters among Mime
sofa ready-to-wear merchants, and
various local recovery associations"
formed in anticipation of future oper-
alton in line with official codes to be
adopted by the industry as a whole.
An outcome of dealer effort begin
ming many months ago, the utilities of
Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico
through their association, recently made
important concessions to gas and cleo
trical dealers The utilities agreed upon
definite policies and practices with re-
gard to the principal grievances Of re-
tailers. There is no machinery in ex-
istence to compel either utilities or re-
tailers to adhere. and It Is definitely
stated that it does not prevent either
from deviating in order to meet COM
petition.
