DR YOUR
 CHILDREN
Dy Olwe Roberts Bsrtoa
&NlElTeZ lE6IssE. AE

Last year two men issued an ul- tinnanum just before Christmas. Both said the same thing but for different reasons: we are going out for Christmas dinner" Cases were different. The vile or one had had long sick spell, ana she was still weak. No use in your getting sick again." said her hus- band. "The kids won't want to eat anyway and we'll go up to the hotei and have a bite"
 The other had no better reason than that his wife was entitled to a rest and holiday.
 But in this case there were com- plications. You see grandma ana grandad were coming to spend the dav. And grandma boaster that she had raised a family of four boys and had never missed cooking a big family dinner on every holi- day in twenty-some-odd years. | What would grandma say? l Even Grandma Approves | It seemed like treason to bundle lup the old couple and haul them oH somewhere for bought" dinned.
 However, Helen thought, "It really would be grand not to have to spend the whole day in the | kitchen. and the day before, too, YOU might say" So she consenteu and when Jim went over early I,with the car and returned Wltn his parents for breakfast and all l the excitement and package open ing, she timidly broke the news: l Grandma with her new scarI around her shoulders got up and went over and put her arm around her sons neck. "Jim," she said, Il never was so proud of you as l am this minute. We'd love to go and make some Christmas calls on peo-
 pie we haven't seen for while"
 It was successful day all around, but as Helen said that night. "I wouldn't want to do 1t every year, but it's been agrand
 rest. One of the best times I've
 ever had"
 The repercussion of the first case was different. There were no vlsi- tors, but the aunt of the sick Wiie heard they had gone aut" for their I dinner.
 CatacIysm Fails | For a week her tongue was busy
 in that town. She predicted that
 Sally would lose her husband in
 wear and added that such
 mother would gladly see her chil-
 dren in nasylum. Any mother
 who couldn't stay at home and
 cook the fixings on Christmas or
 all days of the year"-and so on! | Well, tte sky didn't fall. There
 were no divorces. Soon it was for lgotten.
 But the moral is that whether dinner is eaten at home or else I where all hands should remember
 mother shouldn't have % give the
 party entirely and come out ot IL too tired to remember what had
 happenedy.

Like her mother. Exactly" woman queried, with an admlring look at Peter.
 "No," answered Peter, firmly. Like her motaher. Exactly"
 Ann and Peter were both laugh ing when they left the shop, bun- dle-laden. If Rosalie were shabby. Juan was sure to need clothes too. And a dress or two apiece would delight the hearts of Marie and Lena. That made Peter think Of shirts and ties and a pair of extra trousers for Sam and Carl. The Italian woman and her hus- band followed them to the door, talking volubly. This had been one of their biggest days. Truly, these tourists spent freely. Three weeks passed swiftly, and still Peter said nothing about returning. They had driven to Tampa where Ann was fascinated with Ybor City. the colorful and interesting Latin settlement. They had driven across Candy bridge to | St Petersburg, which Ann said was | like a little girl dressed up for a party-so orderly and clean, with the attractive homes set on green, green lawns. They drove to Sara sota for turf bathing, and one day Peter had gone tarpon fishing. | That was long day for Ann, and she had ran out to meet his car. 1T thought you would never get home. Where are the fish?"
 "Where are the fish? Will you listen to her? Did you expect me to bring 93 pound tarpon home?' You didn't!"
 "We did. It was a tough battle. Allen had his picture made with it."
 ''Why didn't you?"
 T thought you'd take my word for it."
 Think of fishing all day and then not bringing your fish home" Ann scoffed. "If men aren't funny. Peter
 l ."Yes."
 '"There's a telegram for you" Peter frowed. A telegram meant only one thing. He was needed at home, and he didn't want to go. II well, we pack he said, slowly, after reading the message.
 "Oh,"
 | You'll be sorry to go, too, :"
 "Yes. It has been lots of fun here,"
 Peter said.
 Paul has picked place for us, |" Peter said, lon q short lease so we won't have to stay there long if it doesn't suit you. I'll send him a wire telling him when we are leaving and about the time to ex- pect us. l am writing my mother, also"
 Ann said nothing.
 Peter said, Ann, you're not wor- rying about anything" Ann smiled at him. She couldn't tell Peter how frightened she felt. how she dreaded going back. The past with it's hurts and disillusion- ment seemed very far away some time, and the life here very real.
 Back home meant different life altogether. It meant seeing Tony, battling Tony, perhaps. And may be herself.
 And there would be Valeria, Ann wondered if Peter were as troubled as she. If he dreaded putting these days of peace and quiet content ment behind them and meeting the problems that were ahead.

 YOURSELF

'Winter sports are great asset to a girls beauty" cosmetician told me. The glow skiing brings to the cheeks and the active vivacity that skating imparts are far better than any number of facials to stimulate circulation and exercises to revive a tired body or sluggish spirits
 This, coming from man who primarily is interested in the sale Of face treatments and salon-super- vised exercises should be a worth while hint for any woman.
 Naturally, how strongly you go. in for winter sports depends great deal on the place you live. If your back yard is covered with snow and your favorite lake has ice on it for months at time, there's no reason why you can't ski and skate several times week.
 If you live in warm climate, you might plan winter vacation at far north resort. If that's inn possible, how about making the most of the sports available to you? Swimming, riding, golf, tennis and all the so-called summer sports are just as beneficial now as any other time of the year.
 Be sure, of course, when you go in for any outdoor sport, to give your complexion adequate protec- tion. The snowflakes may be gor- geous, the air invogorating, but you will get twice as much benefit from them if you have given your face and throat thorough home-treat- ment (using tissue cream of course), just before starting out.
 Use hand lotions lavishly, not only before leaving the home to face the chilly blasts, but several times day and at night before you go to bed.

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Paris - (UP) = If you were not to attend any of the balls in and around Buckingham Palace in London, it was we'll night im- possible to get any clothes made here. Anyone going to Britain for the Big Event had precedence over everyone else.
 The Paris dressmakfng houses reported that they were so busy they could not sleep at night. Madame Georgette Renal is simply Starry eyed over the business her house did. For R.R.H. the Princess Rene de Bourbon .Parme's appearance at the reception and ball at Buck ingham Palace, Mime Renal made an evening gown of Bill anchini's shaded flamisol in 8 softly glowing pink. The top of the dress was in the palest shade and was severely plain. The skirt fulness was concentrated in the back and fell in loose folds from the waistline to the floor. Overlap ping petallike folds of fabric crossed at the back of the bodice, and long pointed train was added to give a graceful line when walk ing.
 From the palest seashell pink for the bodice, this gown deepened almost to an American beauty crimson. With it the Princess wore an ermine coat and the gor- geous jewels for which she is famous.

the phone-"Yes? Yes, it's me. :. 7. I'm sorry I couldn't, get to the phone sooner... Yes, I'll be there. Goodbye" The receiver clicked, and Mary came back to the table with her eyes sparkling. She paid no attention to Bills wide grin or to her mothers inquiring look. And pretty soon she excused her self and went off to her room.
 When she came down she had hat and coat on. Where are you go- ing, Nary" asked her mother. "Oh, just out with some of the girls" replied Mary casually, but I won't be late" And off she went before her mother could question her further. Some of the girls! That's good, that isl" cried Bill; "'Bye, mother. Tn just going out with some of the boys, but I won't be late" And with a laugh and a wave of his hat Bill too was off.
 Mrs Johnson sighed as she led the way to the sitting room. "I don't know what's come over Mary" she said; 'she used to be so gentle and sweet-and loved to share her secrets with me-but now-well, you see how it is." 'Mary's growing up," MT Johnson eonsoled her, "only you and I find it hard to realize. Isn't that it, Doc tor?"
 nodded my agreement. "She doesn't know she's acting rudely"; said; "in fact she isn't thinking much about her own family just now. She's getting all kinds of new interests-among the girls she mentioned-' "But that's just it.' exclaimed Mrs Johnson. i've no doubt she was going out with some of the girls. Mary wouldn't lie to me. But there'll be boys along. And that was no girl who telephoned here at supper! "You're probably right" l told her, "but what can you expect? Mary is almost fourteen; she's past the tomboy stage and is bound to take a normal interest in boys from now on. Instead of getting 'crushes' on her women teachers she'll begin to get them on Bills friends and the brothers of her girl friends" But it seems so silly at her age" said Mrs Johnson impatiently, "and even if she does, I wish she'd tell me about it instead of running off on the sly" Don't be too hard on the child" I suggested, "and don't ex- pect her to tell you everything. That isn't in human nature, you know" But how shall know she isn't doing something silly?" "I don't see how you can" Mrs Johnson was speeches.. You can encourage her to bring her friends to the house sometimes-boys as we'll as girls; T suggested, you can let her see them against fa- miliar background. You can get to know them yourself, and give them a chance to know Mary's mother and father as real people instead of mythical parents You can be in-

 You said weasels do not change their color. But I have seen many of them in winter white with black tipped tail, in Sweden as boy. (M. L.)
 You claim there is no such anil nal as the lowly weasel that turns white in winter. Born and brought up on farm am sure have seen many of them perfectly white in winter, though we know they are brown in summer. (W. L. O

are. All sorts of endurance tests, both mental and physical were made on both types of men and the overweight men of military age came out the best.
 3.-This is the natural supposition and has been confirmed by science. By very technical methods Prof J.. B. Mailer, of Columbia. gave two tests to a group of school pupils on rating their classmates on their class loyalty and appropriateness. In one test they signed their names to their votes but the second vote was unsigned. Results revealed that when they signed their names they voted much more positively that their classmates were highly loyal and cooperative but when they got a chance to vote anonymously they ranked them much lower. Prof Malles concluded from va rious technical calculations that the latter opinion was the more honest one.

 "1H get breakfast and you take your siesta, as Juan would call 1t, before luncheon" Peter suggested on the way back. Hired, Ann?"
 Not much" she answered sturd- fly. Peter, isn't it pathetic how little Sam and Lena know about raising children"
 Pretty ignorant, but still Juan and little Rosalie look fairiy healthy"
 Tt was just rag Rosalie was wearing"
 Would you like to drive to town and get her some things?'
 Ann looked al him. It was posi- lively uncanny how he read her mind. "Td love to, and I don't need any 'siesta'.'

 It was his first compliment. Ann found herself flushing.

 Respectfully,
 The physician the correspondent names is a member of his county and state medical societies, and a fellow of the A. M. A. He had bet ter watch out or the Pooh bah will visit his town sometime, on one of his lecture trips, and tell the folks the ambulant method for treating hernia is not accepted or that it is "unscientific" or some thing. That's the attitude of the Pooh bah in reference to any ad- vance in medicine which has not first been submitted to his approv- al. That was his attitude in ref erence to the diathermy extirpation of tonsils in the years when we were urgin gthat modern method on the public. Of course the Pooh- bah has been compelled by cir cumstances to change his attitude on the tonsil question now that the better physicians everywhere have adopted it for at least a large share of cases.
 I am not qualified to instruct any physician in the ambulant treat ment of hernia. I believe a physi- elan can learn the method only by receiving clinical instruction from a man who has mastered the tech nic. The best I can do for a doc tor who desires to provide modern service for his patients is to tell him where he can learn the meth od. I am glad to do that for any regular medical man, not for any near-doctor, who asks for the in- formation and incloses a stamped envelope bearing his address.
 Not that the ambulant' treatment is a sure cure. It fails in as many cases as does radical surgery. But am cestain it is safer bet for the hernia patient, and if I had a hernia I'd have . good thorough go at ambulant treatment before I'd submit to an operation. Might have, to have the operation after all, but even so, the attempt to cure by injections would have done no harm, I am sure.

l.-I agree with Walter Hagen who knows a lot about golf and probably a good deal about wo- men golfers-and who says in Esauire, that it is the rare woman who plays golf impersonally for the game. Sir Walter says that women are determined, not to play golf, but to beat the other woman. He describes many ways that women take to rattle their opponent that men would never think of. In making these un- fiattering remarks Walter says he is initiating Clyde Beatty who walks into cages filled with queen tigers and empress lions. but he feels impelled to speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing put May the Lord have mercy on his soul and mine.
