She calls it Sugar Leaf"
"I suggest" continued Nancy, speak

pink and white. Then 1t will be just
plain sweet as any sugar leaf should be.
There are a number of ways in
which the quilt may be put together.

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Will you kindly let me know

First, how you introduce your

your affection and devotion,
achieved the privilege of being
called Mother" by you, you
would introduce her by this
name. Mother, this is Miss Al

If you use neither Of these
intimate names, Of your step

cious and understanding person
that she has won more intimacy

by this name, or by the rather
forbidding name "Stepmother::"

S9SSSSAS~
What, with the numerous ex-
quiSitely perfumed bath salts on
the market, fine oils for the
body, ETC., it can really amount
to something. And today we are
offering an altogether different
recipe.
Ordinary Salt
Not all of us, unfortunately,
are able to slip away to some
Southern spa for a winter dip
in the briney deep. But there
is no need to despair, even if
your nerves are crying out for
a change.
Simply get a box of ordinary
table salt and use the family
bath tub!
There is nothing as good for
that tired feeling as the warm,
homemade salt water bath. It
is a real tonic for the physical
and nervous WEAKNESS which
follows overexertion; for that
after-the-holidays slump.
Fill the bath tub three-quar-
tiers full of water, about 10 de-
grees Fahrenheit and put in 1t
the contents of a one-pound
box of cooking or table salt.
Step in and relax.
Shower, Too
You can get about the same
effect with a shower bath by
first standing under the shower,
then massaging the body with
salt, and then rinsing the salt
away. The skin will glow and
a sense Of good health will fol-
low.
There is said to be a def
mite stimulation to the nerve
endings by massaging salt on
the skin. A dip in the home
made salt bath may prove a
bit trying to the person with
dry or very delicate skin, so it
is we'll to experiment using a
small amount of the salt for
the first of these baths.
Relaxation
A thorough rinsing, however,
followed by an olive oil rub,
the oil administered very SPAR
ingly with the palms of the
hands should take care of the
most sensitive skin.
If you take the salt water
bath for relaxation, it is not
wise to be too energetic with
the toweling afterward. If it
is possible, you should get one
Of those dressing gowns made
of heavy turkish toweling.
Then wrap it snugly around
you and remain in the bath.
room, out of the draft, until
the moisture has been alb
sorbed and you are thoroughly

E Evening hats and hair orna-
ments. because though they've
been dreadfully overdone,
they've made women look

Skirt Trains
Long-Sleeved dinner gowns
that darling Of the debutantes
and blessing to business women
because they can be worn
from daylight to dark, and right
back to daylight again!
Skirt trains. because through
them, modern women have
acquired the gentle art Of mild
flirtation-an art that should
never have been lost in the first
place. Next to a fan, perhaps
nothing stimulates a woman's
capacity for coquetry like nice,

Dressed-up tops and simple
skirts. because women have
finally realized that their most
wicked wiles are practised over
the table, at a tete a tete tea or

By Beatrice Fairfax

A Young Mothers Problem
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 81 years of age and have
three children, but I never have
any pleasure like other mothers,
making their clothes and plan
ming for them. When I was
married, at II. my mother-in-
law and her daughter decided
to run my life for me, which
they have done ever since.
I live on a ranch and have
not been to town in over a year.
Life has been like this for 10
years, and it will continue like
this for another 10 if I live that
long. have only first-year
high school education. I could
not support myself or my three
children, II were to leave.
cannot talk to my husband; he
just doesn't care.
I feel like giving up, If some
thing isn't done. ~.
MISERABLE.
Twenty7Seven is too young to
talk of giving up. Stop brood
ing over your trubleS, and de-
eide to do something practical.
At the present time the Govern
ment is spending vast sums of
money in giving people voca-
tional education, or training
those who feel in need of added
general education. This is as
free to you as it is to every
other citizen Of the United
States. Get in touch with your
local superintendent Of schools
and see what can be done to
make you capable Of earning q
little money, which will make
you more contented.
People are not without kind
ness, If they know of the neigh
boris plight. If you belong to
a church, tell your pastor that
you'd like to engage in some
church activities, and make
friends with the women. What
you need is some new and
friendly contacts. You should
do this for your children'S sake,
as well as your own.

some when he is older" But
the child lives in the present
and that far-away day when
he Is older" has no appeal.
He wants his joys now.
Avoiding Friction
Much friction will be avoided
II he is not forced to endure
the hardship of actually wit
Messing the envied "grown-ups"
ct the table.
Even after he is master of
his little spoon and fork he
should eat alone or with other
children. His mistakes will
pass unnoticed in the company
Of his equally unskillful play
mates.
The undesirable element of
Joint family criticism will be
eliminated. He will enjoy his
food more and digest it better.
When the time arrives for
him to come to the table he
should be large enough to sit
on an ordinary chair with q
cushion.
Put a tray under his plate
and let him sit next to some
grown-up who can give him the
help he needs. Let this person
(the job usually falls to
mother) be the one person who
corrects him.
Probation
Eliminate the anvil chorus as
Tar as possible. To do so you
may have to reason vigorously
with the other members of the
family but hold to your point.
At first coming to the table
should be an occasional treat.
Select the morning or midday
meal as the youngsters evening
repaSt should be over by the
time adults are ready to dine.
1t Is best not to make such
festive occasions as Christmas
Or Thanksgiving times when
the child is giving the treat of
dining with the family. The
combined excitement of the
holiday and the new expert
ence may upset his digestion
entirely and will certainly up-
set the meal for the family.

Beauty Queries
and Answers
NICE HANDS

Question: My hands never
look as well as they should. 1
do all of my own hOusewOrk,
but do try to keep a hand
lotion handy and put a few
drops on my hands when 1
take them out of water. This
seems rather a stupid thing to
ask you, but some of my friends
who also do their work have
evidently learned the secret of
hand protection, and 1 would
like to have nice hands. S. w.
Answer: The handy bottle of
hand lotion is a very excellent
beginning toward beautiful
hands. Have you learned the
little brush secret when wash
Ing dishes? These brushes not
only get the dishes clean, but
they keep your hands out of
hot water. Then, of course, you
put on rubber gloves when you
do any very thorough scrub
ing all of your time slipping irto
ing all of your timeslipping in
rubber gloves. but they do
help It when the stove gets
its "vorkover" and the kitchen
floor gets its drubbing. At night
rub cream or vaSeline into the
nails and cuticle, and massage
1t well into the hands. A lemon
kept beside the hand lotion will
remove most vegetable or fruit
stains collected along with the
evening meal.
OIL TREATMENTS
Q.-Many times I have read
In your column where you have
recommended hot oil treatments
for dry hair. viii you kindly
tell me how to 60 about this?-
T. A.
A.-Saturate the hair and the
scalp with heated olive oil,
particularly the split ends of
the hair. massaging it deeply
into the scalp. After the oil is
absorbed, you may steam it
with hot Turkish towels, which
will open the pores and permit
the oil to penetrate more deeply
into the cells. Apply this at
night and shampoo thoroughly
the next morning.

This picture ShowSStour dolls,
inexpensive as you please, and
dressed at modest cost with
crepe paper. You can see for
yourself how attractive they are,
and even an inexperienced per-
son can do it.
You can dress the dolls your.
self, as a gift to child. or better
still, enc urage a little girl to do
the work herself. She will be
fascinated.
Either use four small dolls,
choosing them in their proper
coloring for the characters. or
you can take four doll heA6s,
use two wires for the arms and
legs, and pad the body (Which
is part of the wire legs) by
wrapping them with strips Of
crepe paper or cloth.
Paper rantalOOns
ALI four of the little women
are wearing dainty white crepe
paper pantaloons and petticoats
that are pinked on the edges
and are given a lace-like design
by holes punched along the edge
Of the paper.
The gathering and scanning
for the ruffles and skirts are
done on the sewing machine,
and the costumes are pasted to
the doll bodies.
Banded Skirt
Dauntless, 10, at the lower
right corner, is dressed in a
tight waist and full skirt of deli
cate green plaid paper. Two
plain bands of green crepe are
set in around the skirt.
She wears an underwaiSt OF
white crepe that has a small
ruffle around her throat and
full sleeves gathered to a tight
band at the waist. Her poke
bonnet is soft yellow and is tied
with narrow black velvet
streamers.
Amy in a Print
Amy, posing at the left Of 10,
is very sweet in a ittle-girl
apron and curls. Her dress is
made of flowered crepe paper,
pink and green. A full white
apron with a tiny pocket, ruff
fled bib and straps across her
shoulders, ties in a bow at the
back. She too wears an under
waist that has a ruffle at her
throat and full sleeves gathered
to a band at the wrist.
Meg Wears Yellow
Meg, the eldest, right behind
Amy, wears a yellow printed
crepe paper dress with gathered
collar and cuffs on plain white.
A ruffle extends from her waist
over her shoulders and around
the sleeve seam in back (this
gives a leg-o-mutton effect.
The blouse of the dress has q
ruffle stitched across between
the two ruffles running up over
the shoulders.
A Shawl For Beth
Beth, the little stay-at-home,
wears an underwaist and a dress
like JOS without the bands set
in the skirt. A little shawl
crocheted from strips of crepe
paper in single crochet stitch
covers her shoulders, and her
hair is tied back from her face
with small band and bow.
