 Mis- Mergentime takes particu- lar pains with shower curtains be- cause she says they are neglected in most homes. She has done a striped curtain which she calls perpendicular pastels'' because of it's yellow. orchid, blue, pink and green stripes, and which may be used harRoniously in almost any bathroom, even in one with plaid paper.

LINEN AND FABRIC DESIGNER CALLS BRIGHT HUES A. TONIC
By MARY MARGARET MCBRIDE NEA Service Stan Corrcspondent

By MARY MARGARET MCBRIDE NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 New York -- Don't be afraid of color. Use it lavishly all over your house and thus make your home happier.
 That's the advice of Marguerite Mergentime, foremost American designer of modern linens, china shower curtains and other home accessories.
 eTry out your own favorite clothes colors for upholstery and hangings in order to insure be- coming backgraund," Miss Mergen- time counsels the home -maker, adding: "You'll be surprised at the results! Enough of the right col- ors around them is a tonic that more women ought to take regu- larly."
 If Miss Mergentime had not so passionately loved color and sim plicity of line, and if she had not felt that bothi were so lamentably lacking in the house furnishings offered in shops, then 1t is quite likely modern dining rooms and bathrooms might forever have ben deprived of some of their best effects For Miss Mergentime took up designing in order to have the kind of linens and china she want ed for her own use.
 She was a happily-married young matron with two charming little girls when the idea of de-, signing her own tablecloths and the like came to her. With great earnestness, she set about fitting herself for the task. Mornings after she had packed the children off to school, she made a day-hy day study of furniture, antiques and fabrics at the Metropolitan Museum.
 Then she enrolled in night art classes. And finally she turned out some designs that manufac- turer promptly bought.
 Since then she has designed everything from baby pants to bathing suits, but she specializes in fabrics.
 II loathe the modernistic in design, Mis- Mergentime declares vehemently. land just as emphati- cally do love the modern. There is a great difference, though not

S5p YOUR CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts Barton
6n5s 5f m siaMea. 1lE


 e'What shall I do." asks the mother of three children, ',when their daddy shows marked prefer eEce for our youngest boy who IS eight? His sister, two years older, seldom gets any attention at all. And our oldest boy of fifteen is treated as though he were not in the family at all.
 Dad criticizes everything he l does, but really he is a fine quiet boy, with a good mind, although he does break loose at times as most boys will. Then his father treats him dreadfully. But no mat ter how bad little Freddie is, my husband thinks 1t smart. He says openly that Freddie is his boy and usually adds that he's worth both of. the others put together.
 Well--what can I say?
 You can't talk to a man like that. If he hasn't more sense himself it is too late to put It | there.
 Many Others Are Like Him
 He has plenty of company, too, that s the worst of it. Perhaps not all are so brutal as to shout # from the housetops, the fact that 1 they don't care for any child but one, but they make it so evident | in a thousand ways that a blind man could see it. And children are neither blind nor stupid; they are uncommonly quick to sense their position.
 Sometimes I thank that men adopt a pose toward their chil- dren. For instance, this father made up his mind when his first son was born that here was an- other. male who would some day grow up to be as big as himself. From the start he probably decid- ed to use the high hand and let that boy know who was boss. In time there was trouble, but rather than change his tune and acknowl- edge he had made a mistake, he redoubled his energy as is the way, with mistaken people when they know they are wrong.
 He never understood the girl very likely. And observing his way of treating her brother, sne I became mousy and frightened. He may have felt thje child's distastc. This is why, perhaps, he pays no attention to her now.
 Now Trying to Change
 Too, his exploited preference | for the baby has been in the way of a gesture to recompense and avoid the attitude he had toward the others All the pent-up affec- ton and demonstrations withheld l before, have found outlet in his youngest son. And, as usual, the boy will take advantage and leac him a nice dance later on unless miracle happens.
 All this is purely imaginary. There may be dozen reasons for this fathers behavior toward his children. But whatever they are, one thing is certain. He himself is responsible for the lop-sided re- lationship.
 | It is true that parents do have preferences occasionally, but where l such occur, they should be guard ed from even hint of suspicion on the part of the children. Every child should feel that he comes in for an equal share of affection. | Mothers, if they have favorite, are more careful about hurting the rest. Dads are usually less particular.

 At a party the other eVeuins, happened to hear two young men discussing a girl who always i1 surrounded by people, both men and women. T tell you she is not | beautiful, not even pretty,n one oH them was saying. II know it," tho other agreed, .but- she's SO vivaci- ous and agreeable that her looks don't seem to matter very much.
 The second speaker, had, r seemed to me, hit directly upon the fundamental thing that makee for popularity. With one sentence | he had explained why some girls regardless of the shape of their 1 faces or color of their eyes, are loved by their friends and sought after by newly met acquaintances. After all, there's not much to be said in favor of the beautiful woman who never has energy to do anything except sit in a corner and show off ner beauty. But much can be said about an energetic, | pleasant girl who actually contribr utes something of her charm and graciousness to every gathering.
 How, then, are some women able obe interesting at all timesl Perhaps heaven endowed them with amiable dispositions. Maybe they have trained themselves to be amusing. But, whatever else they have done, the chances are ten to one that they've kept fhem- selves in excellent physical condi-8 tion.
 You can't be charming if you are tired and nervous. And you | cannot be interesting if you are run down and physically exhaust ed. Remember that you can't burn l the candle at both ends. If you are up late one night. you must sleep a few extra hours the next to be. in condition the third night. You cart go for days without proper nourishment and expect your eyes to be shiny, skin clear. In other words, if you expect to have a radi- ant, charming personality which is more important in the long run than surface beauty, keep healthy.
 NEXT: Don't be too energetic.

 3-Dr Henry Hepner argues In his Psychology in Modern Busl- ness" that they are. I think thls may be due to many different causes, such as the fact that many women feel they want 10 got out of business as soon as possible. chiefly to marry; the fact that many Of them have not as thorough training in business as mon have; also tho fact that the whole posi- ton of women in business is not yet aA secure ns that of men.

PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT
By MARY KNIGHT United Press Staff Correspondent

Paris, (UP) = Among the day time creations seen recently at the fashionable Vichy race-course there has been in evidence a ten dency to copy the sun-backs usual ly confined to beach wear. Flow cred materials, especially checked taffetas, have been very popular. One with large red and white checked gingham pattern in a soft taffeta was worn with large red hat.
 Another success was a tailleur of black crepe f1ecked with gold and cut on the simplest Partisan lines. With it was worn black hat unrelieved by any color. There seems to be a noticeable ri- vxafry between the wide brimm ed hats and the berets, neither being willing to give way completely to the other. The berets concede something, however, for many of them have wide edges which pro- tect one side of the face or pull we'll toward the front over both eyes.
 Here in Paris, with fall in the air, and decorations of mid-winter in the shop windows, deep red, dark brown and navy consume much attention. The Marquise de Paris usually wears a deep red or navy silk shirtwaist ensemble. The Countess Georges de Castellane likes a smart black blouse with a turned down collar and small tie. The blouse fastens down the front with small pearl buttons in the popular shell design. She also wears Rodier's white shantung in a blouse printed in multi-colored confetti dots with a small round collar and white buttons. Georgette Renal, comparatively young couturier whom the smart French people are patronizing, makes this blouse. The blouse is backed by Countess Albert de Nun (nee grace Cuyler) who so successful ly launched Mainbocher a few years ago.

She clung to the girl, on parting. She looked definitely older. The lines around her mouth had deep ened their parentheses; her neck sagged.
 "Come out and see Daddy some week end" she begged. "He wants to see you. He's dying to, but you know how stubborn he is."
 Boots promised. She watched her mother walk away, slim and worn in her rainy day clothes, and her heart ached. There was so much she ought to have to make her comfortable, to make life cas- fer for her

REDUCE AND BE YOUNGER

REDUCE AND BE YOUNGER
 It has been the sad experience of many who have managed to reduce by one or another unphysiological method that the superf1uous fat is not all that vanishes. Along with it, all too often, goes youth or at least the appearance of youth. Wrinkles appear that were not mo- ticeable before. A drawn and hag- gard expression adds to the gen. eral picture of age. Friends begin first to urge that the reduction has gone far enough and should be stopped now, but presently they become more frank and deplore the fiabbiness and the wrinkles.
 That is all wrong of course. If reduction of overweight or over size makes one look or feel older il is certain that the method is un- physiological or that the reduction regimen is being carried too far With reduction, when it is brought about in natural, physiological way, there should be and is not only a rejuvenation in looks but also an increased joie de vivre and greater general activity and ambi- ton. If these favorable changes are not manifest, the reduction system is not suited to the individ- ual requirements.
 We have only recently learned that the vitamin and mineral me- tabolism must be carefully regu- lated when reduction regimen is prescribed. Indeed the experience of the past two or three years has amply shown that unless spe- cial attention is given to the vita min and mineral metabolism no reduction regimen is likely to give complete satisfaction.
 We have good reason to believe now that faulty vitamin and min eral metabolism, due to deficien- cies of everyday rations in vita mins and minerals is one of the important factors in the causation | of overweight or obesity. And from recent animal experimentation and a large amount of clinical eXperi- ence and observation we feel con vinced that by proper adjustment of this unconsidered side of meta. bolism the physician today can achieve results that were hardly to be obtained by any of the reduc- tion methods in vogue heretofore. Everybody has some vague mo- tion about scurvy, and some people know that rickets in infants. beri- beri or polyneuritis, opthalmia and nigh blindness, and pellagra are diseases due to deficiency of the food in one or another vitiman. But few comprehend that partial lack of these same vitamins may cause peculiar disturbances of health which even the physician can scarcely recognize except by the therapeutic test-that is, see ing that the victim gets enough of the proper yitamin and noting what effect that has on the trouble.
 In unsupervised dieting for re- duction a, partial or incomplete ayitaminosis is quite frequently produced and indeed such break down in health is often, too often, the reason why the victim gives up trying to reduce.
 By following the newer know ledge of nutrition as applied in a physiological reduction regimen ! have recently reduced thirty pounds, and without any difficulty or hardship. As I used up the stacker flesh I felt increased zip and keeneness to do things which before l had been inclined to put or. So it is my opinion that with proper control anybody who is overweight may reduce and be younger for 1t.

WEEKS MENUS PLANNED
 ADVANCE AIDS SAVING
BY MARY F. DAGUE NEA Service Staff Writer

NEA Service Staff Writer
 Here we are, summer gone, the children in school again, winter coming on-and the usual three square meals day to plan The season may change the items on the menu-it never gives the house. wife let-up in her daily planning chore.
 Well, since we must, let's think about breakfast, dinner and sup per. First of all, don't make the mistake of letting your meals grow winterish before they need. Keep fresh fruit and vegetables in star | roles as long as possible.
 As long as possible, let fresh fruits and vegetables hold first place in the daily fare. Substitute canned vegetables for fresh, if ne- cessary, but see that your children have them to keep their diet we'll balanced.
 Add Courses for Adults
 Menus planned for growing chill dren should be simple. Then for adults,T add one<or two courses. A soup, canned or home made, or q salad of fresh fruits or vegetables. will do wonders to dress up a plain meal. Or the addition of home made relishes or conserves, gar- nishes or hot baking powder bis cults will furbish up an every day menu.
 There's an advantage to plan ming a weeks menus in advance. The method saves money, time and labor-checks a tendency to- ward extravagant marketing and does away with that frantic daily worrying about what to have.
 And, of course, is makes using up of leftoyers into game. A meat pie, timbales, hash. or croquettes are planned to take care of the left-overs from a roast Bread pud ding, bread crumb pancakes of a "mochduck" take care of the weeks accumulation of stale bread and crumbs. A jellied salad in the middle of the week makes use of odds and ends of fruits and vege- tables.
 Cool weather Helps
 Many of the commodities that were purchased in small quantities during the warm weather now can be bought in larger amounts with out danger of spoilage and waste and saving is affected in this way. Watch the markets for bar gains to take advantage of special prices made possible by quantity buying.
 Study the brands of all the vari. ous foodstuffs on the market and find the one that meets your needs and tastes.
 Make the most of every food you serve by attractive garnishing and serving. Simple foods perfectly prepared and served are far more appetizing than elaborate, out-of- season foods haphazardly cooked and put on the table.
 Mondays Menu Breakfast-Grape, cereal, cream bread crumb pancakes, honey, milk coffee.
 Luncheon: Baked vegetable hash lettuce and egg sandwiches. peach cottngc pudding. milk, ten. Dinner: Rolled iinak Of beef, 10' minute cabbage, banana and pea nut salad, baking powder biscuits with fresh grape conserve, apple taploca pudding, milk, coffee.
