Dread Of Animals
Is Taught
Children
BY LIZ HUME

1t is really astonishing to
witness the great number of
parents, especially m o t h e S,
who endeavor, from child's
earliest entrance upon tn e
street or in public, to instill
into it the constant fear of
animals, chiefly dogs.
OF course, it is usually those
persons who themselves are in
constant dread of animals that
are the greatest advocates Of
such teachings. Undoubtedly
their parents brought them up
in such a belief and they in
turn deem it proper and duti-
full to do the same by their
own children.
Destructive Fear
Nothing can be worse for a
child than fear, dread and dis
comfort, no matter what may
incite the feelings. The poor
child's nerves, being on edge,
ever ready to snap, are seri-
ously menaced. That is far
worse, in reality than actual
injury by an animal.
No child should be encouraged
to run up to every strange dog it
sees in the street and try to
pat or hug it. But the child
does not realize that he is do
ing the wrong thing. He is
merely expressing an affection
for animals, something which
should never be discouraged.
Parents have no more right to
discourage a child's love for
animals than they have to pre-
vent a child who evidences ar
tistic, musical, or any other tai
ent from developing it.
Pets and Personality
When a child has displayed
his affection for animals, let
him have a puppy of his own.
Or if this is impossible, let
him have the sincere promise Of
one just as soon as it may be
possible. Nothing perhaps
plays a stronger part in develop
ing a child's personality than a
pet-preferably a dog.
Never advise a child to run
or shrink from an animal.
Should a dog run up to your
child, or pause in passing by
and express a desire to be on
friendly terms or to play with
the child, there is no reason
why you should interfere.
If the dog is evidently a
healthy one. gentle and friendly,
let the child pat the animal.
The average dog, although it
may not be of a friendly dis
position, will very seldom want
only chase or attack anyone,
especially a child.

The Beauty Reporter

How often we hear that "a
milar wall: "Oh, it's going to
be a lovely party-and just look
at my hair! should have sham
pooed it days ago." For it's the
irony Of fate that just when the
shampoo has been neglected and
the hair looks dull and unattrac-
tive, the telephone is sure to
bring a bid to go places and
meet new people. The moral is
keep your hair fit.
easier said than DONE" you
say, and I realize that taking
time out for a shampoo doesn't
always seem possible. Then,
too, there's the question Of ex'
pense. When the hair is very
blonde or snowy white, the stu
alton becomes even more diff
cult, for these shades, to be
lovely as they should be, demand
endless hair grooming, and
shampooing. Perhaps once or
twice a week.
We can find excuses enough
for a careless hair condition, but
the fact remains that regular
hair cleansing is necessary to
hair beauty. A clogged, dirty
scalp makes lustreless, lifeless
hair, quite out of keeping with
a well-groomed face and a chic
frock.
So let's resolve to give our
hair the attention it needs
brush it, air it, massage the
scalp a bit every night and
shampoo the hair regularly.
Dry heads do well with a bit
of liquid vaseline Gust the
tiniest bit) occasionally rubbed
on the scalp before the nightly
brushing. Oily scalps are i'm

antiseptic (your favorite mouth
wash, for inStance) is we'll
worked in before the shampoo.
And now I've discovered some
thing grand for those between
shampoo times when your hair
needs a quick cleansing. It is a
ry-cleaning process that fresh
ems the hair in just a few min
utes. No, it's not a powder, as
you may have guessed, but a
pleasant smelling liquid that
you rub on the scalp and comb
through the hair, then finish
by fluffing the hair with your
fingers for a few seconds.

The Wild Bird

Question:
The singing bird, the joyous
bird,
How could you let it go?
Like silver water through
green reeds
Its clear notes used to flow.
All, can it be you did not love
It's happy, woodland song
That told of wind and tree
and sky
The whole day long?
Answer:
I love it well, the bird whose
notes
Were clear as woodland
streams,
It lured me to enchanted
lands,
It brought me back lost
dreams;
But ever in its cadences
I caught a wiStful strain,
A hint of longing woven
through
That silver, sweet refrain.
I loved it so, I could not bear
That poignant melody.
And so I left the door ajar
And set the wild bird free.

and for those who prefer them

one that is medium. This comes
in black calf or patent with
stitching for trimming. And, al
though it's quite open, it will be
comfortable, for the strapping
is designed to come where it
should.
Gay Color Smart
Color is the most attractive
thing about the new shoes to
me. OF course there is black
for your black costumes, and
brown, and navy for the blues
you see everywhere. But there's
green and red, too. They are
so gay, so smart with a few
Of your darker things now,
and will be so good this sum-
mer with white and colors with
which they will harmonic.
There are many other smart
shapes besides sandals. Tongued
shoes, both laced or outtoned,
are Ngood for sports. Wide
strapped shoes for sports, ties
in new versions, and high cut
pumps all have fashion i'm
portance.
It's really time to think of
summer shoes, too, if you wear
a popular size, for they're sell
ing already, and sizes sell out
early.

Those words smart and COM
Portable present a problem to
the fashion writer, for it's hard
to know which to put first.
The new shoes are so supremely
smart, so good to look at, that
it's hard not to write about
that alone.
But there's a walking story,
and a just plain comfort story.
too. For now heels are what
you may desire them. And
though sandals are popular,
they are designed so that they
will merely give you coolneSs,
and will not cut your toes as
they used to do.
Greeks Started 1t
The Greeks started wearing
sandals, and their heels were
about one inch high. That same
height is smart this year on san
dals for both day and evening.
We have one photographed for

Advice to the
Lovelorn
By REATRTCE FAIRFAX
Written exclusiOely for the
WGshinRton Times.

Written exclusiUely for the
WGshingtOn Times.
Is Love Enough?
Dear Miss Fairfax:
My sweetheart has had a
pretty good Government job for
the past six months. AS we
had been engaged for two years,
we felt we could now get
married, so we planned our
wedding for early in June, with
two bridesmaids, both to wear
Eleanor blue, a little wedding
breakfast and all that.
Now, Jim finds that he is to
lose his job almost Immediately.
What shall we do? Marry on
nothing at all, and let our
families help us for while?
Or sacrifice our wonderful
prospect altogether?
We love each other so dearly
that we are tempted to be
reckless. What do you advise?
HEARTBROKEN.
I am truly sorry for your
disappointment. But I wonder
if, like many girls, you're un-
able to think of marriage apart
from the pretty traditional
trappings.
My advice is to forget all
about your wedding breakfast
and your bridesmaids. Then,
why don't you and your fiance
both try for new jobs? I
should say you could marry the
minute you secure even a very
small income, but not before
then. And, of course, you
must budget according to that
income. But you'll enjoy it,
and good luck to you.

Dessert Salad
Mrs. Cottman suggests this is
a main luncheon dish, compile
n1enting it with chilled melon,
as a first course, and followed
by a sweet salad and coffee to
end the meal. Mrs. Cottman
feels very strongly that no
luncheon should ever be more
than three courses in length,
and that each course should be
most carefully selected to bring
the perfect balance to the menu.
To illustrate this point, here
Is her recipe for a'deliciouS and
unusual dessert salad:
"Cut purple grapes in half and
remove seeds, but not the skins.
Using one pound of grapes, mix
in one-haf pound of canned
marrons, and thoroughly mari
nate in a very rich mayonnaiSe.
Serve with paper thin slices Of
rye bread and follow with
coffee"
Another wonderful recipe Of
Mrs. Cottman'S is for:
EGG CROQUETTEs
Make a thick cream sauce the
day before it is to be used.
Hard boil eggs and chop fine.
Stand both the eggs and sauce
in the icebox for "a hours.
When ready to use mix well to-
gether, roll in hand to cro-
quette shape, roll in bread
crumbs, then in egg and water.
Fry in deep hot fat. These
make a good entree when accom-
panied by tiny link sausages.
