shrivels to a crisp. It is almost impossible to revive real live attitude toward duty.
 This does not mean that chill dren do not need telling. I know what children are as we'll as any, body, and all their characteris- tics. Their failings and disobedi- ences need lacking up ceftainly, but there is something wrong when this becomes the very air they breathe.
 Meant for the Best
 Parents mean it all for the best, of course, and 1t is chiefly their sense of responsibility and desire to bring out the good in their offspring that underlies their tendency to criticise. The thing to remember, however, is that there is a difference between helping a child to do better and berating him because he doesn't.
 Few mothers fo about teach ing thoroughness in daily tasks. They expect the child ot learn by experience. True, experience is a good teacher, but with it must go patient explanation. And we must allow for mistakes. Also we must allow for things the child has that we have not--impuislveness, acci- dents in handling, an inclinatoln to take his time and the strong pull toward play. The incurable critic might euro himself or her. self if he though it over.

 GROOMING.
 Unless she budgets her time rather carefully, the woman with limited income is likely to find immaculate grooming pretty much of a problem during the hot months.
 Naturally, one who has a maid to keen accessories and lingerie fresh or who can affor to go to a beauty shop twice instead of once a week has little trouble. The ma jority, however, simply have to figure out 3 way to look neat and attractive without spending too much time about it.
 It's an excellent idea to have several sets of knitted silk under wear that do not have to be from ed. These, along with stocking. can be squeezed out at night and hung up to dry. Unless you live in an extremely clean city, don't try to wear white gloves more than one day.
 To keep your legs and arms neat and lovely, pick a depilatory that discourages as well as re- moves superfluous hair. There are several types. The wax varieties are good for the legs and the heavy creamy ones are satisfactory on arms. With stockings so sheer and beach bathing so popular and such fun, you undoubtedly will have to use your depilatories at least once a week.
 Unless your skin is unusually sensitive, better buy deodorant that doesn't have to be used often CT than once every four or five days. Never apply it within AS hours after removing hair, let il dry and be sure to rinse off be- fore you dress or put on your | nightgown.

DOCTOR BRADY PRESENTS
 THE SUN
A northern reader writes:

A northern reader writes:
 am 25 years old and work on a farm. As soon as warm weather comes in the spring I work without a shirt on. take little more sun each day until get tanned to the waist and can go all day without burning. I take a dip each night. l feel great all summer and can work much easier.
 Some people say can take too much sun. Can I? Please give us your opinion of working like this.
 don't know whether it would be ept to be candid about it. The matters are as mad as matters whenever I intimate that it is healthful to go bareheaded all you can with comfort. The galoshers pry me loose if I insist that wet ting of the feet does not cause any illness. The 'steenteen species of vacuum cleaners preserve digni- fled silence while on species de- mands and obtains my execution for my opinion that one species is no more and no less hygienic than the others. However, it may be safe to get in a lick or two before the shirtists become organized.
 In general this is my opinion: The more anybody can so naked comfortably and better for health. Of course I mean physical com- fort, not anxiety about style, cus- tom or the law. If one feels slightly cold or chilly when entirely or partly nude, yet not too cold for reasonable comfort, that is bene- f1cial in itself, I believe, for it is stimulating, and invigorating, in contradistinction to the effect of slight excess of clothing or body warmth, which as every intelligent person knows is depressing and vitiating, softening, weakening.
 Anybody who contemplates talk ing the sun or who must be ex- posed to sunlight, should go about it by gradually increasing stages, as this reader suggests. Lily white mollycoddles who have not had an introduction should make the first meetings very short-say five min utes basking in the noon-day rays the first day, ten minutes the sec- Oltu udy, anu SO OIls SlAlClly CiOChSQ. Or in more moderate sun and for one not utterly a stranger, there may be two or three five-minute exposures the first day, morning, noon and night or late afternoon, and more skin and more time day by day. The ideal always is to ac- quire more or less tan but to avoid sunburn. In any regular sun bath ing 1t is we'll to protect the eyes with dark goggles. Bad policy to try to read or use the eyes in the intense dazzle. If you prefer, dark bandage may cover the eyes. It is also a bad policy to wear smoked or tinted glasses when one is out in the sun, unless there is extraordinary glare from snow, sands, water or when driving against the late afternoon sun. Orr dinariiy it is better for health and comfort to let one's eyes accustom themselves to normal exposure.
 The youths and men who work and play in the sun as nearly nak- ed as possible need not worry about the imaginary shrivelling of brains or other disasters from ab- sorbing too much ultra-violet.

 In Advertising
 She served an apprenticeship in the advertising department of a big department store, and later went to an advertising agency. She entered her present job really to get a specialized knowledge of food, since she realized it was one of the most important items ad- vertised. She meant to go back into advertising proper, but the new field held her.

 ZOE PARKER, Katharine's friend has an unhappy love af- fair and Is saved from suicide by young DIR. JOHN KAYE.
 Overhearing two detectives ask for Michael's address, Katharine rushes to warn him, although she has not seen him since his engngement to SALLY MOON, local coquette, has been an- nOunced.
 Michael refuses to go away un- less Katharine comes with him. They are married i'm an obscure little town. Then Michael insists on returning to face the detec- tiyes. He learns he is heir to a fortune and title in Ireland.
 Sally Moon, unaware of this, urges Michael to hasten the date of their wedding.
 CHAPTER XXVII
 Michael shook his head. we can't do that, Sally" he said rather heavily.
 "Why not?" All Giriish imperi- ousness, she faced him. Why on earth cant we? Anyone here can take charge-J erry or anybody"
 Michael's face darkened imper- ceptibly.
 "Or, don't be stuffy about it., Michael, darling!" trilled the girl. I'm not trying to boss you around. I'm just telling you how easy it would be-" Her voice took on a crooning note. Imagine a honey moon at sea-and at Buenos Aires. I've always wanted to see it, Michael. Wed have glorious times" Her eyes glittered.

 "I can't-yet." With sudden clar- ity and horror he had a vision or what the news might-what it cer- tainly would mean-to Sally Moon. Lady Carden-Sally as Lady Car den. Castles. Meats. A crest on her stationery
 Lord, he was in for it now, right enough!
 If he could head off those detec- tives, if he could only prevent the news from leaking out before he broke the news of his marriage to this girl
 But how was it to be done? Frankly, Michael was daunted. He, who owned to no fear in this world quailed before the prospect of blaz- ing feminine eyes, tears, re- breaches.

New York, June 12.-Making sure that the American housewife gets exactly what she wants is a comparatively new job for the Girl graduate that perhaps sounds sitn- pier than 1t turns out to be.
 For it takes special training, plenty of intelligence and lots of industry. Women are already mak- ing great successes at it, though for example, Ella Burns Meyers, one of the Country's highest-pow- cred women executives and her en- tire staff at General Foods. Turn ing out contented customers is a big-time occupation.

we examine the product with as nearly as possible the critical eye of the ultimate purchaser. Our staff of home economies ex- perts tries it out, not in Kitchens that have all the latest improve ments, but under conditions such as any woman might meet-from the one in a tiny Manhattan apartment to her distant sister on a great middle-western farm.
 we are in constant touch with this woman, wherever she is, be- cause we answer the letters she sends the company to ask specific questions about the product. Moreover, we select housewives at random and invite them to make their own tests in their home kitchens and then to tell us what they think. Some of our best improvements have come as di- rect result of this.
 Hundreds of experiments may be made to improve texture and flavor, or to lessen by a few min- utes thch time required to use 1t. Packing methods come in for mic- roscopic scrutiny, too, and finally we compare our experiences with the claims made by the advertise ing department to make sure that the purchaser will get exactly what we say she will"
 Training Should
 A varied training is required of the Girl Graduate who might hope to get a job in the depart ment of a company offering con- sumer service. The technical ex- perts on Mrs. Meyers staff have taken the home economies course of accredited colleges. They have a thorough grounding in chemis- try, particularly in physical chem istry, which is increasingly im- portant in all phases of food work.
 Their technical education has been supplemented by practical experience. According to Mrs. Myers, the girl entering such n field should learn to shop for her own home, study markets, and the preparation of food for the family table.
 "I consider that the experience one gets as state home demon- stration agent is especially good
 background for our kind of work" Mrs. Meyers suggests.

LINCOLN. THE AMERICAN

While there are still living men and
women who saw Abraham Lincoln, it
does not require such a privilege to feel
Lincoln as real personality. In fact
most Of US, who learned of him only from
our history books, feel a closer contact
and more intimate knowledge concerning
him than we do of many contemporary
public figures
The assassin's bullet ended the mortal
career of Lincoln 60 years ago, but his
Influence on this nation and its people
remains while they remain.
Perhaps this is because he was so truly
American. He came from the plain peO-
pie who were SO busy conquering wild
erness and battling natural and human
foes that they did not have time for some
of the things considered necessary in life.
The effete east Knocked and derided Lin
coin on his campaign tour in 1860 when
his ungainly figure appeared on the plat
form to address them.
A mop of unruly hair topped his huge
figure. His long and lank frame instead
of being concealed by his clothes was
only exaggerated by his ill-fitting gar
ments. The east laughed over several
inches of white socks which appeared
above his shoe-tops.
They were immensely amused by this
country fellow until he began to talk and
then they forgot everything but what he
was saying. His middle west nasal
twang did not offend the broad "a cul-
ture of New England. For that matter
they hardly noticed it. He blasted to
smithereens their hard-shell coat OF aus
tere dignity with stories of the cross
roads and the back country to illustrate
his points.
When Lincoln could capture New Eng
land it is little wonder that the plain
people of the entire country idolized him.
The South, of course, must be excepted,
for to them he was poor white, some
thing the Old South could not under
stand or tolerate.
There were no frills and no pretense
to him. There was no attempt to be
something that he was not, nor to cut his
cloth to the wish of others. He had faith
and confidence in himself, yet with hu-
mility that recognized a higher power
upon which he must ever depend for
guidance By some he was termed God
less, yet more truly Christian man has
never appeared in American public life.
1t is no wonder that we feel we know
Lincoln Strength of character that
could give him such sway over his peo-
pie could not be ended with the bullet
which claimed his life. One might as well
try to part water with sword.
Lincoln survives because he is Amer
lea, as truly as the Rocky Mountains, the
Great Lakes, or the Mississippi. Men,
women and children know him today as
they knew him in 1860 So long as this
nation which he saved survives, Lincoln
survives. His day was short but IT en-
dures forever
