Adopted Boy
Should Find
.Sympathizer
BY EMILY POST.

"DEAR MRS. POST: We have
legally adopted a young boy
who is just IL years old. and I'm very
much afraid that my problems have
just begun. Poor child, he has been
frightfully neglected. His manners
are as bad as those Of Mr.. Tarking-
tons Little Orvie,' besides which he
seems altogether lacking in any in
herent aptitude to learn to be polite.
I'VE know very little about his fore
bears, and have only the assurance of
strangers with whom he was left, five
years ago, that his parents had been
good people and were killed in an ac-
cident.
I'VE had two children of our own,
both of whom we lost. and We couldn't
resist this chance, as sort of me-
mortal to them.
IF this boy were still baby, I'm
sure that everything would be easy.
but this is really problem in remold-
ing life that doesn't even have the
bond of blood. I don't want to be un-
fair with him, and yet If he is to carry
our name, I do want him to be worthy
of it. Can you write something help
ful?"
Answer: I cannot help wondering
why you went so far as to adopt the
child before having a better knowl-
edge of his temperament and charac-
ter than your letter seems to suggest.
But hope, for your sakes, as well for
his own, that it was (and Isl an ap-
pealing link Of sympathy which made
you want to make him your son.
Frankly, your question is one that
I do not feel qualified to attempt to
answer. further than in certain
obvious particulars. The first Of these
is the winning of his comradeship and
love, by being an unfailing comrade
to him and by really loving him.
Second, by being admirable-not in
the trivial things which most people
mistakenly see in the subject Of eti-
quette, but in the real foundations
upon which manners that are worth
having must be built.
Be fair always, try your utmost. but
without asking probing questions, to
understand his point Of view, to make
him feel that you are his friends, who
can be counted on under all circum-
stances.
Don't expect too much. Be appre-
ciative of everything in which he sue
ceeds, and be sure that, in your criti-
cisms, you are tolerant as well as Just.
Don't make the mistake of dulling his
ears with "don't's," but show him that
you trust him.
Set the very best example you can,
but whatever you do, don't expect him
to be, and don't attempt to make him,
in any way like either Of your own
sons.

TINE silhouette has become def
nitely fuller and wider. But
there is a catch to that! No
\ obvious fullness should mar the
harmony of line, and that means
that you simply cannot insert piece
of material, or a bunch of gathers,
and be in the mode. The creation of
the wide effect is much more subtle
business than that 1t becomes
matter of careful cut. an almost
mathematical problem of adding more
material, without subtracting from the
symmetry and smoothness of contour.
OF course, all this applies to the

draped, and some skirts are enor-

are rather wide, the inserted piece,

into the modified bishop sleeve,
which is much used. The long
pointed collar is another detail of the
new season, and much versatility may
be employed in the use Of the con-
trssting material from which it Is
made. Sometimes the collar Is of
satin, white, or lovely pastel. Some
times it is of velvet-very effective

1T rs great pity when old people
have to live in other peoples
houses, even though those other
people are their own children,
for 1t seldom fails to being unhappi-
ness to both.
There are, of course, occasional ex-
ceptions to this rule. Sometimes old
people are wise and tolerant and
adaptable. Sometimes young people
are understanding and patient and
forebearing and the two generations
are able to get along in peace and
harmony with each other. But for
the most part the presence Of an old
father or mother in the home Is like
a charge of dynamite under the door
step that explodes and blows them
all to kingdom come.
That the old and the young should
be so antagonistic to each other is
no reflection on either. 1t is tire
fault of nature that has rolled the
river of time between them and sepa-
rated them by a chasm that even
love cannot bridge. 1t is not THAI

Using Brush
First Act in
Care of Hair
Reconditioning Has
It's Preliminary
Requirements.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

GAY "reconditioning" to those VINO
~ know their hair treatments. and
the first thing they thing OF Is brush
ing. So important has the technique
of brushing become toward preserving
and achieving a beautiful, lustrous,
healthy coat that leading beauty
salons start every shampoo and every
scalp treatment with thorough
brushing treatment.
Brushing is good for dry and oily
hair alike The actual technique Is
slightly different-the brush should be
swept vigorously over the scalp and
through the hair if there is dry con-
dition. For brushing oily hair, orlns
the brush through the hair more than
the scalp.
Let's see Just what brushing really
does for the hair. First 1t cleanses II
of surface dust and CRIME, second it
helps to distribute the oil evenly
along the hair shaft, third it polishes
the hair to a high, lovely luster.
Brushing actually increases the nor
NAL luster of the coat And while on
the subject let me repeat: Unless
the hair is lustrous and healthy the
most glamorous arrangement will not
show off to advantage, but if the hair
is healthy and glossy, it catches and
reflects the light and every wave shows
of to perfection.
A Good Investment.
Even If you have to economic on
other things, whatever you DO DON'T
stint on the hair brush, for it is a
wise investment to get good one.
There are several splendid ones on
the market. Leading hair specialists
have their own special brands and
some recommend a special vibratory
technique with them. One very good
brush has the bristles arranged in
strands, and it is supposed to do its
work without in any way destroying
the wave. Anyway, a good brush
should have fairly long, flexible bris-
ties should reach through the hair
and its friction felt over the scalp
(and this friction, by the way, is al
most as valuable as shampoo. A
brush that simply rides over the hair
and fails to reach through it and to
the scalp is valueless. The good brush
will do its work nobly and at the
same time will not scratch, irritate
or abrade the scalp or pull the hair.
If the purse permits, two similar
brushes should be INDUCED in. Keep
one in use while the other Is being
cleansed. For very young girls with
thick curls two brushes become J
necessity. First, a brush with long
and few bristles to disentangle snarles,
then a heavy-set, multiple bristled
brush to cleanse and polish. The first
type, by the way, is fine for hair that
has been snarled by an inferior per-
manent.
And now one word about the |
proverbial up and out. Separate the |
hair into strands and brush each |
strand separately, up and out. Brush !
with long, firm strokes from the crown
of the head to the margins of the
scalp. A rotary, vibratory motion is
recommended so that the brushing |
actually becomes rotary scalp mas !

to do so. And if father doesn't like
that newfangled contraption they call

oemade Pickles Easily Prepared According Practical Directions
HealthyMind
Makes Light
In Darkness
Get Good Bodies Also
If Education Shall
Count in Future.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

CHILDREN. you are going to school
to learn how to live. Most of
your time Is spent in studying and
learning and reciting lessons. You
have to know who discovered America,
and where the capital of the United
States is, and how many feet there
are in a mile. Very well. You will
not find that a very difficult task.
But there is a task laid out for you
that will take all you have in will
and intelligence to perfect. You must
develop a healthy mind and body.
That is the real reason for your edu-
cation and training.
Health is the beginning and the
middle and all of life. A healthy
mind. and how rare it is. Is like a
strong light in darkness, like mighty
force in hard struggle, like bene-
diction falling upon troubled souls.
A healthy mind makes all life beauti-
full. To it there is nothing near or
ugly or fearful. It interprets life
as an adventure to be enjoyed 1t
interprets people as human beings in
need Of understanding and affection.
1t looks upon work as means of
expressing the abounding life and
vitality 1t controls. A healthy mind
makes a garden in a desert.
The mind dwells in a healthy body
This healthy body is the gift that
nature bestows upon you when you
are born. 1t is q big responsibility
for you to carry, but nobody can do
1t for you. You must eat for your
self. You must work and play and
rest and sleep for yourself. The
way to do these things, the way you
think about them and behave about
them is what determines how much
health there is in you.
Your eyes ought to be bright. Your
teeth should be like rows Of polished
ivory. Your skin ought 70 be like
silk, soft and shining. You should
eat happily, and relish the green
things that come out of the earth.
You should play like a puppy and
sleep like one. And you ought to be
happy the livelong day. Health is
expressed in happiness.
How do you get and keep health Of
body? Keep yourself clean. The dirt
Of the playground will not hurt you
if you wash it of as soon as you
get home. Keep your hands as clean
as you can always Take bath every
day. Swim as often as you can.
Skipping today, putting of until
tomorrow, will not work with a body
because it never stops growing. 1t is
growing better or growing worse. You
must work to keep it on the healthy
side.
1t Is not possible to separate a
mind from its body. Thoughts are
the activities of the mind. Thoughts
are powerful. You may think that
because you do not see them they do
not count. Not so! They count every
minute of your life. 1t is a thought
that moves your legs and arms. A
thought makes you eat. A thought
makes you behave like hero. You
are what your thoughts make you.
Children. whatever you do in your
childhood, get health.

~ ARIS DEGREES, madame, that for
- your new Fall appearance, you
accent the eyes rather than
L the lips. The decree comes as
a result Of the Grecian influence which
will dominate clothes during the COM
ing season. Makeup, in order to be
in harmony with the charming Gre
clan lines, must be much more sub
dued and subtly flattering than before.
Lips must be more natural and less
vivid. The eyes must dominate the
face.
Eyebrows, so beauty authorities tell
us, should follow their natural line or
be plucked only in so far as to achieve
a high. round arch. Pinching the brow
into the desired curve has come to
take the place of excessive plucking.
A special brush for regularly grooming
the brows is indispensable for training
them as we'll Very little additional
accent from use of a pencil is advo-
Gated.
Thus the chief emphasis to be
placed upon gaining eye beauty rests
upon treating the eye itself. To this
end the leading cosmetic artists have
created and concocted dozens of en-
ticing creams and liquids for hun
dred and one different purposes.
