a. You forgot to give your height,
so that cannot judge whether you
are really much overweight or not.
Consult the weight-height-age charts
that are often displayed on weighing
machines, and If you are of a natu-
rally sturdy build add 10 pounds to
the weight given for an average girl
of your age and height Be sure to
have well-balanced diet, even though
you may eat less of each dish. Some
girls make the mistake of cutting out
all so-called fattening foods sugars
and starches, also meats and trying
to subsist on fruit and non-starchy
vegetables. Such a regime leads to
loss of health and flabby figure. I
think you can trim down your figure
sufficiently just by avoiding eating
between meals and emitting all pastries
and sweet desserts. Correct posture
is also most important for reducing
prominent abdomens. Cultivate the
habit of holding your abdomen in all
the time. Stand tall. Take a two
or three mile walk daily and a longer
one once q week. Engage in active
outdoor sports. LOIS LEEDS.

Negatives
Which Help
With Child
BY ANGELO PATRI.

A IL good rules can and ought to be
- broken occasionally. am going
to break the one that says: do not
say don't. Say do" believe that
we can use sharp Don't" to good
advantage at times, so here are a few
that may be useful to us who deal
with children, big and little.
Don't slap children. 1t irritates
them and increases the difficulty you
are trying to correct. A slap Is re-
served for emergencies and these are
in their nature rare.
Don't discuss children's failings
with others. Keep your child's secret
as you would want yours kept. A
child loses faith in the one who talks
about him behind his back, gossips
about it, or complains about him to
people who really do not care.
Don't blow hot and cold. Keep still
until you have definite opinion and
then express it once for all. What Is
right today ought to be right tomor-
row, or the reverse. Only on rare
occasions, the exceptions that are
always present in any of life's activi-
ties, is there justification for a change
Of standards.
Don't exaggerate the Importance Of
children's actions, one way or another.
They are never as good as you think,
never as bad. They are growing and
consequently changing personalities.
If all their manifestations are given
first importance there can be no
IL tn fhair ~
what is important and what is not
On that little point hinges great
part of character growth.
Don't brighten children. Fear never
strengthened q human soul yet. Fear
never corrected an error. Fear is a
poison that paralyZes the body and the
mind and checks growth. Education
and training should be directed toward
encouraging holiness, initiative, exper-
inent The brave heart wins.
Don't give children credit for emo
tions. desires, tastes, ambitions that
are your own, and of which they are
usually ignorant.
"A child is not miniature man or
woman, but q child and has child's
nature. It Is a mistake to try to
give him beauty that is yours, mate
rails that are yours, a life that is
yours. He can be happy only in his
child way and when you impose your
self upon him in any way you lessen
to degree proportionate his chances
of happiness and success. Let him
enjoy his childhood. He will become
a stronger adult if you allow it to
him.
Don't tell Q child to be noble and
be ignoble yourself, for what you are
he will most certainly be and you
have no chance to hide your true self
from him. He knows what you think,
he knows what you believe, he knows
what you read, what you eat and
drink and wear. He knows you as
YOU do not know yourself. He fash
ions himself on your pattern and II
you are truly concerned about his
character you pay careful heed to
your own.
This is q counsel of perfection and
nobody can reach it. We can reach
toward it, however. and the children
will reach in sympathy with us. Don't
disappoint them. They depend on Us.

Good Taste
AtWedding
Ceremonies
Clergyman as Guest
Silver Anniversary,
Veil Treatment.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: I am to have
very simple wedding in church.
after which my family is giving sup
per for just the immediate families
and half dozen closest friends. Must
We invite the Clergyman to the house
afterward? And what about inviting
his wife, whom we hardly know"
Answer: You would not include the
clergyman unless he Is one of the
half dozen dearest friends you men
ton. But you would invite him. and
his wife also, should you decide after
all to invite many more people.
Dear Mrs. Post: Our daughter Is to
be married on our twenty-fifth we'd
ding anniversary How can this fact
be included in any of the wedding de-
tails since she really chose this day
because of its significance to us?"
Answer: Mention it in any &C
counts of the wedding which you give
to the newspapers. You might have
two bridal tables, the brides, deco
rated. Of course, in white and a white
iced wedding cake. The parents ia
BILE, decorated in silver. would also
have a silver trimmed wedding cake
smaller than the brides.
Dear Mrs. Post: My father is dead
and my uncle is giving me away. After
he leaves me at the chancel to take
his place in the pew, should he sit
with my mother in the front pew, or
in the second pew with his wife?"
Answer: If other children or nearer
relatives sit with your mother, he
would take his place with his own
wife. However, if your mother has no
one nearer to her, your aunt would
sit beside her on the inside, and after
he gives you away your uncle would
take the aisle seat next to your
mother.
Dear Mrs. Post: I am wearing a
f1nger-tip-length veil, which also
hangs over my face to Just little be-
low my chin. Who puts this back
and when? Couldn't I do this my
self?"
Answer: Your maid of honor does
this at the end Of the ceremony. be-
fore the occasional, and as soon as
she has handed you back your bou-
quet. Or, if you choose. you could
probably turn up such a fragment of
a veil yourself just before you take
back your bouquet.

May Ignore
They Think
In Training
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

THE influence Of public opinion is
often the basis for the mothers
actions. The public may be no more
than another adult in the family
the father or a grandparent perhaps
or it may be a neighbor or relative
whose Judgment the mother fears.
But the ever-present they" always
look with critical eyes upon the child's
conduct and know exactly what should
be done about it. And the mother
overanxious to seem conscientious ano
alert to her duty, acts as they
expect her to act.
None too infreQuently a mother
administers punishment simply &c
satisfy the sadistic impulses of some
childless adult who never hesitates to
say, IF that were my child" CPos-
sibly if it we're, she might be more
forbearing-but it is so easy to inspire
another to do the Furnishing and then
sit on the sidelineS clucking disparag-
ingly and congratulating oneself that
it isn't her offspring)
On the contrary, let a parent-out
of her own OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES the
child and the adult observer turns
charitable The poor little dear"
she broadcasts, her mother treats
her brutally. She'll ruin the child"
To recognize that her behavior, no
matter what it is, can never satisfy
an outsider, should strengthen the
mothers determination to make her
acts accord with only one rule-are
they for the child's benefit?
1t is the mother, not the spying
neighbor-or even the grandparents
who must bear the brunt of the
child's future behavior and suffer the
success or failure of his personality
The neighbor may do the advising
but the parent reaps the results.
No one but the parent is in a posi-
ton to evaluate the child's temporary
conduct in comparison with its whole
conduct. Mothers know their chill
dren and know when an act, appar-
emily heinous, can be overlooked
Mothers must know their children
No outsider can.
Mothers should listen to advice
but if their home is truly their castle
they must act in it like queens ano
not be the slaves Of the opinion or the
judgments of inexpert outsiders.

Dorothy Dix Says
Too-Strict Parent Throws Children
Into Dangers He Fears.

to support his family. He tells you
how much rent is and groceries cost
and how many pairs Of shoes his chill
dren wear out, and he says he has to
punch the time clock at 9 In the
morning at the Office and doesn't get
home until or in the evening, ETC.,
etc.
A ND the woman says look at her.
Doesn't she get up an hour before
husband does To prepare the breakfast,
and isn't she still cleaning up the
dishes after dinner while he is smoking
his pipe and reading the paper, and
doesn't she have to look after the
children every minute of the day, and
does she get an hour of for lunch,
and does she have holidays and Sun
days or any day of rest whatever?
And so the argument goes. And 1t
seems to me that in families Of
moderate means the wife does work
longer hours than the husband, and
that her work is harder because it
lacks the variety the man has and
the social contacts that somehow
tighten the days labor. But among
the rich the husband does the harder
work. Many wealthy men who have
on their shoulders the heavy RESPONSE
bilities of big enterprises toll harder
than any slave, while their wives have
no labor whatever to perform. The
only leisure class we have in the
United States are rich women.

NEAR DOROTHY DIX-My hus-
~ band objects to my smoking and
we quarrel over it continually. 1t is
the only thing we disagree about.
Shall I give up cigarettes? II so,
why? YVONNE.
Answer: If a cigarette is wrecking
your married life, I should say cast
it into the fire. Certainly your hus-
bands love and your home mean more
to you than a smoke. So 1t is just
a matter OF common sense to choose
the thing that will do you the most
good and is most for your happiness
Everything has to be bought at
price. and you are lucky that the
success Of your marriage costs nc
more than cigarette.

Adelaide will continue with
that cute flower idea of hers?
Last season when starting
out of a morning she would
stop at the flower shop and
personally pick out the
posies that harmonized with
her costume, pinning the
buds, no leaves, in a tight
little boutonniere. Then, in
the afternoon, when wearing
another ensemble, she would
again pause in the midst of
blossoms and again select a
pleasing assortment of
blooms, would pin them on
and start out. Sometimes
this little ritual was repeated
three or four times a day.
Each time the young person
would carefully pick out her
own bouquet, matching her
costume and momentary feel
ings, and would pin it on
with care, to get the proper
effect.
