Wants Suggestions
For Training Boys

To the Editor OF The Times:
The most interesting and one
of the most horrible stories I
have even seen in the newspapers
was that of the three little boys
in New York who stole a police
mans pistol and shot and killed
a man because he wouldn't give
them money.
What are we to do with such
children?
It seems that two of them had
already been convicted of steal
ing but had ben released on
parole. 1t would seem to be
obvious that that is not the way
to deal with the problem which
their conduct presents.
Yet, can we afford to send
them to prison or to a reform
atory? They would probably
come out of such an institution
even worse than they are now.
This is a matter that will dis.
turb all parents who have young
children growing up. How are
we to train them so as to avoid
their following in he footsteps
of these young robbers and
killers?
I would appreciate any Sug.
gestions which might be made
by your readers. G. L. M.

CHICAGO, June 20 U.N.S0.
From the potters' field, limbo of
lonely dead, Chicago police plan

a drowning victim, now believed
to have been a well-known and
reputedly veal thy Chicago
woman.
Worried friends identified pic

that Of Nine. L. Mary Bosler, 81
years old, former opera singer.
and in recent years a voice teacher
of the Gold Coast, who myster-

May 81.
Nine. Bosler, who was also &C.

dent of the Republican Women's
Club of Illinois and had no rea-
son to take her own life, friends
said. They retained a lawyer to
press an investigation on the
theory she had met with foul
play.
Attended Meeting
To certify the Identification
made from the posthumous pic
ture in police files, it was deter
mined to disinter the body.
The victim had been washed
ashore May 20, miles north of the
district where Nine. BoSler lived.
She resided in $200-a-month

left in front of the building May

Plants Need
Care

A strong case has been devel-
oped for growing plants in the
house in receptacles devoid of any
drainage opening at the bottom,
says House Beautiful. They are
cleaner, and no water can escape
from the soil except from the sur
face or through the medium Of
the plants themselves. 1t is i'm
possible for the top to appear
moist while the earth in the pot
around the roots is bone dry, on
account of the evaporation taking
place through the side of the clay
pot. In such containers a rule for
watering is to withhold moisture
if the surface soil seems damp,
but safer means is suggested by
using a simple water gauge. Take
a piece of absorbent coniferouS
wood, pine, fir, yew, spruce,
pointed and long enough to reach
to the bottom of the container.
Insert it close by the edge and
leave it, where it will always be
in contact with the soil and will
at all times be just as wet or dry
as the earth in the container.

BEAUTY
Make-Up For
Pictures
By DONNA GRACE

Are you going to have some new
pictures made for Christmas? 1t
is nice custom to give them to
relatives or very close friends
when sending some little gift.
Photographs can be so nice
whether you select the large por-
trait style or some Of the little
Christmas card sizes with accom-
panying Christmas wishes.
Decide for yourself just what
kind of a pose is the best for your
type and before you go to the pho
tographer, try a few before your
own mirror. One side of your face
may be more attractive. than the
other because of the arrangement
of the hair or the style Of the
gown. You may look better in a
full-front-p position than in profile.
The artist, of course, knows the
correct technique of posing his sub
jects and as a rule it is advisable
to be guided by his direction.
There are some photographers,
however, who seem to have certain
pet poses they like to use in nearly
every picture.
This pose may be a comfortable
one for a girl whose neck is long
and slender, but it is certainly not
a pleasing sight when portrayed
by the fatshort-necked type The
chin and neck are simply buried
behind the shoulder and a thick
awkward silhouette will be the re-
suit.
When you are told to drop your
head forward in a profile or three
quarter-face pose, just remember
that you cannot take such a pose If
your neck is full and short.
Laughing pictures are better
left for the kodak or inexpensive
ones. They are boring when we
have them about for any length
of time, as are the ones with
dropped and almost closed eye
lids. Just sit down naturally and
relax. Any trick poses such as
sitting on the table or the arm
of a chair seem to detract a little
from ones charm and poise.
A portrait will endure for a
long time and yours may be one
to be cherished for years by those
who love you.
There is a special makeup for
pictures that you will find help
full. 1t is based on the type used
by the screen stars. There is no
charge for it-just address Donna
Grace, Beauty Editor of this pa,
per, and enclose a stamped, self
addressed envelope for your reply.

table decoration for the Christmas
dinner-red candles on a gleam-

with white dishes, green glassware
and polished silver. And in the
center, a colorful bowl of fruit sur
rounded by berried holly sprays.
On Christmas Eve serve plantation
chicken for the big folks and
ceramed chicken for the younger
ones, rice SNOWFALL, toasted rolls,
plum jelly, beet and pickle salad,
Charlotte Russo, coffee for the
adults and cocoa for the children.

mer. ANNA"
Yes, this is q charming and
proper way for your engage
ment to be announced. And you
are right about wearing your en-
gagement ring for the first time
in public on this announcement
day.
You will show the best taste if
you do not wear your engage
ment ring in school. Diamonds
aren't appropriate in a school
room, and engagement rings
aren't appropriate in a school
room. AS matter Of fact
schools usually have a definite
rule about this.
Yes. it is most important that
this tea be given in the name
Of your mother, or Of your
mother and father. They are
the sponsors of your engage
ment, and they are the hosts
of the announcement party. For
you to give the party in your
name would be terrible taste
The invitations would most con-
veniently be sent on your mothers
visiting card, or on the Mr.. and
Mrs. cards. Like this:
In honor Of
Miss Anna Brown

Sunday, January first
Three to six -Four Home Place
It would be charming to invite
a favorite aunt of yours to preside
at one end of the tea-table, and
to invite a favorite aunt of your
fiance to preside at the opposite
end.
You would plan to serve foods
that are appropriate for teatime
Slim sandwiches of various kinds,
small cakes, or small cakes and
layer cakes, or slices of fruit cake
Serve tea at one end of the table,
and coffee at the other end. And
have dishes of candies and nuts
for ''nibbling."
The simplest way of making
such an announcement is the best
way, and the simplest way is for

you, when all or most Of the
guests have arrived, to slip your
engagement ring on your finger.
Someone will notice it immediate
ly, then everyone will know It;
and the engagement will be an
nounced.
The bride-to-be herself Is the
one to decide whether she will
have her linens and silver marked
with the initials of her maiden
name or with the initials of her
name-to-be. Either way is correct.
Wedding Breakfast
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
IT have been asked to serve
a wedding breakfast. The we'd
ding Is to be a church wedding,
and the breakfast (Which is
really luncheon) to to be served
in the social rooms of the church
on small tables.
THE only item Of the menu
we have chosen so far is ham
sandwiches. What would be ap-
propriate to serve with them?
What silver should be placed?
who is to be seated at the
brides table?
Should the brides cake be
placed on the brides table?
Reader"
II it Is at all possible, with the
equipment provided. there should
be at least one hot food item in
your menu. And I suggest that
you serve the sliced ham not in the
sandwiches, but as an item of the
course. For instance, as the sim
pleSt of wedding breakfast menus,
you might have Scrambled eggs,
with the sliced ham, and accom-
pany this with heated rolls, and
coffee. If it isn't possible to pre-
pare scrambled eggs or other
hot dish, serve sliced ham, with
sliced chicken or lamb, too, if pos.
sible, and potato or vegetable
salad. And Steaming hot coffee.
Or perhaps there would be con-
venient equipment to have hot
soup first, a consomme. You could
buy canned soup. and quickly
heat it.
If you have soup first, there
would be soup spoons, or cream
soup spoons or tea spoons, if the
soup were served in soup cups or
even in tea cups. Knives and
forks for the eggs and ham course,
and tea spoons for the coffee.
At the head of the brides table
sit the bride and groom, the bride
at the right of the groom. At the
right of the bride sits the best man,
and on the left of the groom is the
maid of honor. The bridesmaids
and ushers sit alternately around
the rest of the tabe.

How to Write Letters

JOY! Thrills! Ruth's walking
on air since she received an invi-
tation from Dan Simmons mother
to the swanky dance in his honor.
But on tip from that wise
mother of hers, Ruth has remem-
bered to mail off prompt note OF
acceptance. Her mother with an
eye to her daughters futureD has
supervised the underwriting. She
advised Ruth to discard the rather
dizzy plaid paper that's the rage
among Ruth's intimate pals, in
favor of this fine quality, plain
paper with it's conservative mono
gram.
Nov make it sound like your
self, DEAR" she advised her daugh-
ter, "but remember to mention the
occasion and the date, so as to re-
assure Mrs. Simmons that you I'M
derstand them correctly. And
show how much you appreciate
her thoughtfulness in asking you
to stay overnight"
You can see how perfectly Ruth
succeeded in carrying out these
instructions. No grand-stand
plays in this note. No straining
after effect. No stale or artificial
phrases. Ruth just lets her de,
light show frankly in her own
simple words.
The knowing Mrs. Simmons
will rate this note a little jewel
and we shouldn't wonder if
the open secret Of her approval
will leak out to her handsome
son!

Dinner Dress

A nice note is struck by those
neat little dinner dresses with but
tons from throat to hem. Such
a model is in black crepe with tiny
crepe-covered buttons all the way
down; some buttons, toward the
hem, are left open to obtain the
slit hem effect. The neat little
rundown collar is stitched, as
are the wide armholes that just
cover the shoulder in flared eff
feet. There are two little peck.
cts. one on either hip, and these
are embroidered with brilliants.

Will AG" 44OOnos
Color is important in the even
ing, and if you buy accessories to
60 with a particular costume, you
may get them in color, either to
match or to contrast. But if you
want something to "go with every
thing" then white, silver and
rhineStoneS are your choice.
With this in mind, we've had a
photograph made of some attrac.
tive new evening gadgetS, all in
white, silver or rhinestones. SO
that you can give any or all Of
them to a girl, and be sure they
will fit into her evening ward
robe.
White Lapin Cape
The biggest, most important
piece is one that we think most
any girl would love. It's a hood
cape of white fur, and it can be
worn so many ways, for so many
things, that it's sure of a warm
welcome. It can go over plain
velvet evening wrap, the hood pull
ed up over the head for rumble
seating, but dropped back into a
cowl at other times. 1t can be
worn, just the scarf and cowl, over
an evening gown, and also over an
afternoon dress, when you want It
to look little more formal.
Then there's a white compact,
with attractive design on the case.
It's not expensive, only $1.50, and
will make a nice little remem-
brancs for almost anybody. It's
both pretty and smart.
Brilliant RhineStones
The other accessories shown
carry out the silver and rhine
stone themes, and they all go
well together, or can make sep
arate gifts, be worn separately.
There's a rhinestone evening bag,
which obviously enough, will go
with anything. There are rhine
stone earrings, and pin for the
hair. There are two good looking
rhinestone bracelets, and no girl
can have too many of those.
Then there's pair Of clips, and
last but not least, a rhinestone
comb.
Color in the Hair
In the lower right hand corner
is a silver head band, the type
that's worn over the head with
such becomingneSs and has two
flowers at the ends to nestle into
her curls. Of course this is one
Of the many hair ornaments that
is available, and they are really
q story in themselves.
Color is usually a point Of glory
In things to put IN your hair,
more so than in other accessories.
