clans and laboratory research
workers have contributed largely to
the health and happiness of the hu-
man race. The outstanding example
Of this is found in the treatment of
the diabetic. The discovery of insulin
has made it possible to plan not only
adequate. but satisfying, meals for VIC
tins Of this disease and who under
the strict dietary treatment of the past
undoubtedly would have been under
nourished and perpetually hungry.
According to Dr. Henry J. John of
the Cleveland Clinic, who discussed
this question during the recent meet
ing Of the American Dietetic Associa-
ton, the modern treatment of diabetes
has not only saved the lives Of adults
and children, but has enabled chill
dren, who otherwise would not have
been able to take responsible places in
life. to compete with persons enjoying
normal health.
Training OF dlabetlc Children TO con-
slider insulin injections as part of the
business of eating is the important
responsibility Of the physician and the
mother. DR.. John says that once the
routine is established the child takes
it for granted unless meddling friends
remind and pity him. The fact that
these children have to fight to sue
ceed has made them, according to DR..
John, better persons, through self
denial and exercise Of will which have
been necessary in following the strict
regime Of diet plus insulin.

Holiday
Greeting

Recent Bereavement
Allows Only Informal
SalutatiOn.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: have just lost
- the last member of my family
and am feeling very bereft. Needless
to say do not feel at all in the mood
of Christmas this year, and yet I
hate to break a habit that have fol-
lowed for years of sending holiday
greetings to my college friends, and
to all those many others made through
business. In fact, it is the only time
we ever exchange messages. And since
the majority of these people would
have no way of knowing Of my sorrow.
and would probably interpret my
silence as indifference, do you think
1t very bad taste for me to send cards
as always?
Answer-Because of the effect of
formal preparation, think 1t would
be unsuitable to send typical general
cards of the sort engraved to order
with your name to your entire ac-
uuaintance. But there is no reason
why you may not select ready-made
cards with suitable subjects such, for
example, as the Madonna and Child,
or the Child in the Manger, or the
Star of Bethlehem or any peaceful
Winter scene-especially one with
church-and write your own messages.
To those who know you are in mourn
ing you might write. Even this year
! can't let Christmas go by without
sending my love Cor my greeting, or
best wishes for this coming year," If
any of those who receiva these mes
sages and don't know, they will un-
doubtedly try to find out what has
happened. To those far away and not
intimate friends send whatever mes
sage you usually do and nothing else.

Dear Miss Post: My first cousin has
a son 3 years old whose mother Is
letting him call my husband and me
John and Mary. think this sounds
very disrespectful. since we are no
longer young, but his mother insists
that there isn't anything else he can
be taught to say. Can you suggest
something?
AnSwer-I agree with you that let
ting children call grown people by
their first names is not only dis
respectful, but common. That it is
done by the ma jority of modern people
does not alter its bad taste. There are
lots of other things that those who
are more sensitive to fashion than to
the principles of good taste do. too
CWe need only look at the insect heads
now serving as models for half of
this seasons hats to perceive what
can happen to our sense of beauty) In
your place I should insist on being
called Cousin Mary and Cousin John.

Queen Nefertiti, the most beautiful t0onan in
Egyptian history, used cosmetics to enhance her
beauty This painting part of series nor0 on DieO
in a local shop.

IN ONE Of the panels IS shown the
famous Queen Elizabeth Of Eng
land whose cheeks were tinted with
rouge applied by cloths of rich scarlet
dye" Her hands, of which she was
quite vain, were bleached to lily
whiteness, and the nails tapered amaz-
ingly. Tucked into her horses saddle
are the famous perfumed gloves given
her by her eventually disappointed
suitor, Philip Of Spain.
Next is shown Nine de Pompadour
having her hair curled while a cour-
tier reads to her. Some of the un-
comfortable means to beauty employed
at the beginning of the nineteenth
century are portrayed, such as tor
turous chin straps and drastic means
of lacing a corset tightly on buxom
figure.
This series Of panels has been
brought to Washington by woman
known in all the large cities Of the
world for her study of beauty culture
and her untiring efforts to make
women lovelier.

BY ANGELO PATRI.

A S A general rule children follow

Now don't tell me that" says Uncle
Ben. Don't tell me that I'm respon-
sible for Jimmie's awful habit Of bait
ing his relatives until they hate him.
never say a word about them. No
matter what they do I keep my mouth
shut In my opinion, they're nothing
but lot of nit-wits, but, Of course,
never say a word"
1t isn't necessary to speak. Commu-
nication is not confined to language.
What Uncle Ben feels so strongly
shouts itself to the world. He can't
hide what he thinks and feels from
Jimmie, for he has cherished that
feeling until 1t has become a preju-
dice.
81 wish,' said a mother, that you
would talk to my boy. He annoys the
whole family. He talks back to his
grandfather, argues with him, lays
down the law to him. I'm desperate F"
do you yourself like grandfather"
I asked.
What a question! OF course do.
You can't dislike your own people"
"Oh, yes, you can. I can tell from
the tones of your voice how you feel
about 1t. I can see 1t In your eyes.
Your boy is merely uttering your secret
thoughts. Why not forget that grand
father makes noises with his soup,
smokes in bed and uses language?
Why not feel in your heart that you
like him? If you do, your son will
stop nagging him"
Thought is positive, and the conduct
that follows is emphatic. That doesn't
mean that you can, by wishing, think
the children into being truthful, or
washing their faces, or being honor
students, or having good manners.
No, 1t isn't as simple as all that. Be-
fore your thought can influence q
child it has to have deep roots in your
own mind. How hard do you wish the
children to be honor students? To
what extent will you go in your daily
practice and habits to make them
truthful? Mannerly? And, of course,
it's only joke to think Jimmie into
cleanliness. By and by he'll be so
clean you'll look with awe at his SHIN
ing nose and scarlet ears. What am
concerned about are fundamental
habits of mind. e
When parents 90 regularly to church
children rarely stay away from service.
The parents thought is so positive
and their conduct so emphatic that the
children follow the pattern they set.
The same thing holds when parents
don't go to church. That thought
takes root in the minds of the children
and they don't go to church.
Children initiate us in word and
deed. What you would have them
think, you must think. What you
would have them do, YOU must do.
Luckily, the power of thought and
the pattern Of behavior make for good
as well as for i'll. We can, by holding
on to a good thought and living by
it, strengthen it into a creed, and SO
pry a child out of his error and de-
spondency and set him on the straight
high road to success. I've seen just
that. I've seen failing child con-
verted by thoughts into successful
one. I've seen q child lifted out OF
and carried through to
success. I've seen child made well.
Watch you thought. It's mighty
force In the life Of your child.
