GLORlFYING
 YOURSELF

It's. somewhat surprisingly true that a good many otherwise fas- tidious women never have taken the trouble to learn to care for their teeth. They spend hours practicing home-facial routines, months learning how to exercise to prevent excess weight and then go right on ignoring the very things by which they're often immediate ly judged.
 Of course, 1t all sounds very simple and almost anyone is apt to pooh-pooh the idea of taking real time to learn something which seems rather obvious That is, anyone except a person who went along for years doing a bad teeth cleaning job, but who has since learned the correct method.
 First of all, use small tooth- brush-one with tiny bristles that get into all the between-teeth spaces. Select your dentifrice for its efficiency, not simply because you like the avor of it. Your den- tist is a godo one to consult on this question.
 Speaking of your dentist, be sure to see him oftener than once a year. It's a duty you must not neglect. Brushing correctly Is an- other little duty that you shouldn't overlook.
 Begin at the back of the upper row of teeth. Brush downward all the way around. Not upward. that pushes the gums back. Then brush upward on the inside of the lower row, downward on the out side of the uppers and upward on the outside of the bottom row. Make sure that each tooth gets it's share of attention. Don't brush crosswise. Most important, spend at least 10 minutes at the task. You can't do it properly in less time.i

won the librarians heart through their knowledge of the story-book world. I know for a fact that the next package of books from the main library will contain several specially ordered for the benefit of Mary and Claire.
 Five year old Robert and Baby John, of course, don't bother themselves much with books, and I'm glad that they don't. Robert is just beginning to read, but even the largest print is hard on eyes that are not yet fully developed. Pictures interest them more, and I have seen them both stretched out on the library floor absorbed in picture book. But what they like best is to have the librarian read to them or tell them stories, which she is always willing to do if she is not too busy.
 Nobody. could call any of the Johnson family a book worm but they do know how to use and en- joy the written word. I am glad ] of it, for reading is a habit which
 can serve them well all their lives,

SUMMER READING

One of the pleasantest rooms in this hotel is the library. It's really two rooms, one for grownups and one for children, for large, glassed-in porch has been fitted up specially TOT the youngsters. Comfortable wicker chairs, good light for reading and well stocked shelves make both rooms popular, and a trained librarian who is otherwise out of job is earning delightful summer vacation by taking charge of the library.
 It didn't take the Johnsons long to discover this source of quiet enjoyment. The whole family likes to read, so in spite of the myriad more energetic attractions they all find time to settle down every now and then with an old or new fla vorite. The most popular time is before supper, when they are dressed and waiting for the din- ing room to open, or after supper if the evening is too cloudy or cold for a walk. % s &tt Z.
 Both MT Johnson and are read ing Dickens again. Somehow there never seems to be time during the years work to renew the acquainl- ance of MT Pickwick or Martin Chuzzlewit, but here we have an ideal opportunity and are making the most of 1t. Mrs Johnson has found several new novels by her favorite authors, so she will be able to hold her own when the Wo- mems, club meetings begin. again in the fall. Even seventeen year old Bill finds time to look through the latest scientific magazines. while Mary and Claire have quite

The vogue for tattooing of de- signs upon the skin is good measure of the degree of degener- acy in the race. A community that toierates this practice is clearly. of low moral tone. A state or province that has no statute fixing a suit able penalty. for the hideous crime of mutilating the body, to say nothing of the risk of infection involved in the operation, is not greatly concerned about the well fare or. safety of future citizens.
 In public clinics where the riff raff and the underworld and a certain type of the elite seek treatment at the expense or the city or state, the moron who ex- hibits specimen of the tattoo arr tist's work accurately places him self in the social status list. It IS a sorry confession of delegation. ' is something our system Of edu- cation rather encourages, by con spring with the quacks and crooks to keep the rising generation 1g- norant.
 Once having been so mutilated, if the victim is defective without redeeming grace it doesn't matter so much, tho it would surely be better for the state if such individ- uals were not permitted to remain at large. But often the tatooing is done at a time when the victim is incapable of understanding the en- ormity of the offence. Later, with sobriety, comes the wish to hide the shameful stigma.
 Surgical excision of the mutilated skin and grating of skin from a less conspicious area is the best way to dispose of the blemish in most cases.
 Where the tattoo covers large surface of skin there are two al- ternatives. Either an attempt to erase the design by skilled tattoo ing to match as nearly as possible the natural color of the skin, or tattooing with acid which sets up inflammation and a dry superficial eschar which is thrown off, leaving a white scar. Or the careful use of a caustic ointment will bring about similar sloughing of the dyed or stained skin.
 In Muchener medizinische Woe henschrift Dr. H. in der Stroth describes in detail the use of such an ointment in the removal of tat tooing. He says the method is so simple that the general practitioner can readily use it. Of course the best that can be expected Is a smooth scar in place of the tattoo ed skin. The treatment requires four weeks.

WHERE'S THERE'S A WILL, THERE'S OFTEN DIFFICULTY

WHERE'S THERE'S "A WILL,
 THERE'S OFTEN DIFFICULTY
 A little chap of three won't go to bed any more without squealing.
 He Is as good as gold most times, but now he plants his feet. loks his mother in the eye and says, "I won't"
 "What am l to do?'' she walls. "I can't whip him. Once wouldn't matter, perhaps. but he does the same thing at nap time and at lunch time. tell him to eat his carrots and he just pushes away his plate and says, 'No-NO.' I'd be smacking him three or four times day. 1 did spank him once or twice but next day lie had for gotten all about it. It didn't do a bit of good"
 It is a problem, I'll admit, this in-between stage when a child Is to big to give in as he did when a baby, and yet too little to under- stand the meaning of things.
 The first thing to do is to re- view just what stage" he really is in, and deal with him as much as possible with certain things in mind.
 Will Is Forming
 The three-year-old child is. of course, in his fourth year. the year in which "will' deliberately sets itself up and tries to conquer. "WilP' IS such valuable thing it is best not to hammer it down too much, because it might break. Some day we will expect this youngster to have one. It must be supported by good instincts (to be cultivated as he goes on), but he's going to need will, if he ever needed anything.
 That is one thing.
 The next is that this fourth year is the dividing line between longer an imitator but learning to live as an individual.
 Still another is that this is the time, of all times when happiness and praise are the most potent in- fluences in his life.
 Yet in spite of all these truths we cant let small Robby go in for tantrums and show-off fits too much or he will get impossible.
 Let Him Yell
 The ke-believe" ruse some- times works. It doesn't often, but it will on occasion. Your names Billy" say to him. This is Bill iy's bed," might work. My Robby is over at Aunt Mary's. Billy. come on, and get in Billy's bed" A little game of this kind enlarged upon might take hold. But very likely not.
 Anothe.' way and the best way think, is not to talk at all. At seven o'clock, pick up young Rob- ert, hair, hide and all, and carry him to his room. Pretend you are deaf when he yells. Get his clothes off in jiffy, set his water beside him, go out and close the door.
 First night, he'll give a per formance. Maybe next night, too. But after a while he will shut up. I think it we'll with children bit older to announce bed time a few minutes before so they can finish up their play.
 As for the carrots, don't pay any attention. Let him push back his plate. Don't coax. If he sees that it doesn't matter to you. he'll be eating them before the weeks out.

Squeeze the lemons, mix juice and other ingredients, let stand l 1-2 hours, strain and bottle. Use one or two teaspoonfuls in a glass of water as a hot weather beverage. (E. L.)
 Answer-Comparatively harm less, tho I believe the beverage would be much improved by using at least a dozen lemons and per- haps some oranges too, and omit ting the tartaric and citric acids and the salts. Plenty of citric acid in the lemon or oranges. There is no particular purpose served by adding the tartaric acid.
 Another Discovery
 Article in-magazine telling of the discovery by a doctor in Henry Ford hospital of the use of tannic acid for burns (S. w. CD
 Answer-Nearly every doctor dis covers the same thing at one time or another. In hospital with ex- pert attendants, the tannic acid treatment is excellent. For first aid or home use it is not so good.

 8. Dr Leta s. Hollingworth, psychologist of Barnard college, Columbia, shows in her fine book. Gifted Children" that they are often more of problem than dull children. The bright child gets his lessons in a jiffy or else they are so easy he doesn't care to get them at all and often has nothing left to do but manufacture mis- chief. Therefore he Is often set upon as Smart Aleck" by both teachers and parents and feels either resentful or inferior and is thrown all out of kilter. Many a future genius has been ruined be- cause he was so bright his parents and teachers thought him dull be- cause they were too dull to under stand him.

the young nan who came racing along the platform at the last mo- ment, flinging a. battered cowhide Epbag ahead of him. He strode through several swaying cars. glancing intently at each passenger as he went. In the second car the girl in dark blue was seated quite alone, staring moodily out of the window The broad -shouldered young mans eyes lighted on her with satisfaction. He flung the bag into the overhead rack and sat down beside her.
 Boots did not stir nor did she show any evidence of interest in her seatmate, her gaze lost in the flying landscape. They ran past lit- tie colonial houses with yards end- ing in wire fences bordering the railroad right of way. Past the flats the train swung and rocked, and here you caught glimpse of shabby houses with sagging back porches, their dooryards a welter of tin cans, old Fords and enter prising chickens. A goat peered in- quiringly through a jagged tear in the wire and two or three dirty and scantily dressed children played in sandbox baking under the sky.

 Peaches are another of the gifts of the gods that, if had my way, would be featured on. my family menu three times a day un- til they become, alas, out-of-sea- son and out-of-pocketbook reach.
 Peaches are best of all in their natural state. Yet at breakfast time, when I have them sliced | with brown sugar and a little cream, they seem just. as perfect. And when I eat them in a smooth, luscious mousse or ice cream, freshly made in my own refrig- orator, my allegiance is sorely tried.
 As for old fashioned peach shortcake, biscuit dough and fruit, with cream, plain not whip ped, poured over all-well, then I have no more words.
 Peach Bavarlan Cream Yet even little better, if pos sible. and certainly lighter for a l summer meal, is peach Bavarian cream. have particularly l good new recipe for that which was given to me as her favorite dessert recipe by the famous chef of the Hotel Lexington, Charlotte Field, only woman chef in New York.
 To make it, you need: 1 cup peach juice, l cup sliced peaches, | # cup sugar, cup milk, ? table, spoons gelatin, cup heavy cream. Soak gelatin in 4 tablespoons of cold water., Put milk and su- gar in double boiler on stove. When hot add gelatin, Strain and set to cool. When it begins to thicken add peach juice. stir in gently. When cool fold in heavy cream which has been whipped. Line mold with sliced peaches. Pour in mixture and set inside re- frigerator until needed. Serve with additional peaches and whipped cream.
 And Euchered Plums And speaking of peaches. what about plums? I have discovered that flew housewives do real jus tice to this pleasantly tart fruit, which makes such fine relishes for l use in late winter when appetites begin to get a bit jaded. Euchered plums. for instance, ! are delicious with roasted pork for winter dinners. The recipe calls for: pounds of plums (prefer- ably the large dark blue ones), 6 pounds of sugar, quarts vinegar. ? tablespoons cinnamon.
 Wash and dry plums. Boil vim egar, sugar and cinnamon for five minutes. Pour over plums and let. stand twenty-four hours. Drain off liquid and heat to the boiling point. Pour over fruit and allow to stand for another twenty-four hours. Do this for three more mornings. The last. morning sim mer fruit and juice for twenty minutes and seal in hot sterilized jars. It takes five successive mornings to make this sweet pickle.
 Plum Conserve
 For plum conserve, take 5 pounds plums. k cup hot water, cup seeded raisins, 1 orange. 1 lemon, 1 cup nut meats. 1 pounds granulated sugar.
 Wash plums and remove stones. Put fruit, raisins, hot water and sugar into preserving kettle. Bring slowly to the boiling point and simmer gently until plums are transparent. Add nuts and cook ten minutes longer. Pour into hot 'sterilized jars and seal.
 The orange and lemon are washed and cut in thin slices and added when the mixture has sim mered twenty minutes. Or they may be omitted.

PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

Paris (UP)-Princess Dilkusha de Rohan is woman with clever ideas. She also is woman with lasteX leanings. She uses this fab ric in so many delightful and prac- tical ways you don't believe it even when you see it yourself. It just doesn't seem possible.
 Her lasteX bathing suits simply are marvellous. One has a strap that works two ways; you can either fasten it at the right shoul- der in front and the left shoulder at the back, or bring it around the neck in a loop and fasten it in front with both ends.
 One of her, sleeveless bathing capes is cut On the same lines as an evening cape and has bright initial in one corner matching the one on the trunks of the suit 1t goes with.
 A pair of string sandals are amusing with a narrow strip of red leather run in and out of the streads at the toe so that 1t looks like tinted toenails. This lastex business has one particular virtue for bathing outfits, in that it dries as you emerge from the water and if stretches both ways simul- taneously. x t
 Beach wear,' says this blue blood dressmaker. must be prac- tical and simple primarily to be smart" And may we add in a spirit of true approval that they are definitely practical and if they were any simpler-well, they just wouldn't exist. that's all.
