The Old Gardener Saws :

A privet hedge may be trimmed
as late as early September. In
deed, several trimmings in the
course of the Summer are neces-
sary in order to keep the privet
hedge symmetrical. Very late
trimming is inadvisable because
inducing the growth of new wood
which may readily be Winter
killed. Much depends upon the
soil in which a hedge is grown,
and the amount of fertilizer Civ
en-. If the growth is rapid, shear
ing will be required often, and
by the same token, frequent cut
ting tends to increase the growth.
This is an advantage when
hedges are becoming 'leggy," for
some of the new growth is likely
to appear near the bottom where
it is needed. In fact, repeated
hard cutting is the only method
by which to keep the lower
branches covered with fresh
growth. Most other plants used
for hedges do not need to be cut
more than once or twice in a
season.

-to-do They had a nice house.
good clothes. car. many luxuries,
but breaking banks swept away their
investments. The man lost his highly
paid position. Now they live in four
small rooms, have to count carfare,
and the husband and father is glad
to have a job that even gives them
bread and butter.
In telling me of her troubles the
woman said: For one thing, at least,
I am grateful We have been able to
keep our anxieties from our children.
We have never told them about losing
our money When we had to give up
our home we said it was too big for us,
that we preferred smaller place be-
cause it would be cozier. We told
them we sold the car because the doc
tor said We should walk more, and
that the reason we kept plain table
is because rich foods and desserts are
not good for us. Oh, I've told them
lies until I feel as if my middle name
is Sapphira, but am determined not
to lay our burdens on their little
shoulders, or to sadden their young
lives with our troubles"
4 X
T THINK this woman Is making a
very great mistake, because she is
not only taking line of conduct that
is bound to kill her children's respect
for her, but she is giving them
wrong point of view about life. In
the first place, she cannot possibly
keep up her deception long about their
play-acting at poverty. They are
bound to soon discover the reality.
1t is almost impossible to fool chill
dren. They have an uncanny intui-
ton for the truth. They go to the
heart of things with brutal frankness.
You might make an older person be-
lieve that you wore your shapeless old
shoes because they were more COM
Portable, or you ate stewed meat in
stead of f1llet mignon because you pre-
ferred it, but you couldn't put it across
with a child. He would spot you for
the liar you were.
In the second place, this mother is
making her children ashamed of
honest poverty, which is adding the
final sting to it and making it a
thousandfold harder to endure. For
the worst thing about poverty is not
being poor. It consists in not being
rich, and once you accept the fact
that you can't live on fashionable
street and have imported clothes and
streamline cars, you can be very happy
and comfortable in a cottage, and
in wearing hand-me-downs and rid
ing in the bus. 1t is the pretense
of having money when you have none
that wears you to skin and bone, the
trying to keep up with the Joneses,
the staving of the grocer to pay for
a pink tea that takes the heart out
of you.
CHILDREN don't care for money
- or style until their parents teach
them to. Any little girl will grab a
rag doll in preference to an expen-
sive bisque one if given her choice.
Any little boy will get more fun out
of a wagon he has made out of a
soapbox and couple of pairs of roller
skates than he will out of fine bought

HalterNeck
Sport Suit
Hazardous
Worn With Grace by
Some Girls; Others
Are in Doubt.
BY LOIS LEEDS.

THE halter neck sports suit is fine
for the girl who is bony about
the base of the throat, but it does
mercilessly show up any defects in
her back and shoulders. Unfortu-
nately, thin necks are very often
accompanied by prominent shoulder
blades and backbones, so that many
girls are placed in the dilemma Of
concealing one defect at the expense
of revealing others just as unsightly.
There is scarcely time now for
the scrawny girl TO develop curves
before her Vacation-even if she takes
it in early Fall, but she can make
a start and plan her holidays so
that they will give her a big boost
toward gaining a shapely figure.
Posture has a great deal more to
do with their beauty than most thin
girls realize When shoulders are
allowed to sag forward the shoulder
blades and spine stick out more
than they need to and the bust be-
comes hatter than it would be if the
chest were elevated in the correct
way. Poor posture, too, has a more
fundamental effect on beauty and
can very well keep person thin in
spite of all efforts to gain normal
weight. Correct posture is merely a
matter Of distributing the body weight
in the most economical manner with
| the least effort.
When the weight is not handled in
| this way an unnecessary strain is
put upon muscles, nerves and bones.
1t is this extra strain that some
times defeats the too slender girls
struggles TO grow plumper and more
pleasing. When the strain is relieved
by better posture habits she has a
better chance to benefit by fattening
diet.
Vacation time is a good time to
change faulty posture. If the daily
routine of home or business en-
couraged StoOp-shouldered position
over desk. machine or kitchen sink,
during your holidays make a con-
slant effort TO straighten up and make
your back muscles do their proper
work. Do some simple stretching
exercises several times a day-reach
up and back with the arms, throw
your head back, rise on tiptoe. Lie
face down on the floor. arms folded
across the back of your waistIine, legs
together. Raise and lower head and
chest slowly.
Very often the thin girl complains
that she cannot gain pound no
matter how hard she tries. The
secret of her failure lies in the very
earnestness Of her efforts. She lit
orally wears herself out worrying
about methods Of gaining weight. If
she could carry out her bullding-up
program without watching so anxious
ly for results it would be better. She
must learn to relax nervous tensions
and give up trying to be as active
in sports or social affairs as girls of
normal weight. She needs more than
the usual amount of sleep at night
Most of the thin girls beauty prob
lens would solve themselves if she
were to build up her body. She should
remember the Importance of correct
posture. The body should be held as
tall as possible with the abdomen
drawn in and upward When the
internal organs are allowed to sag
they cannot function properly. Rough.
sallow skin, dry hair, brittle finger
nails and scanty eyelasheS will not
respond to local treatments if the
general health is below par.

Cheerful Spirit Has
Great Value When

BY ANGELO PATRI.

NEAR BOYS AND GIRLS: Fathers
and mothers are sore pressed for
money these days. What money they
have must be used for necessities.
Your father and mother are trying to
think out ways of making and saving
enough money to send you to school,
high school, college or to a special
school or shop where you can be
taught something useful. BY and by
YOU will have to head household
and find ways of supporting 1t, and
they are eager to give you chance TO
do it well. Every penny counts. Every
member of the family must do his
share.
You cannot earn money unless you
are exceptionally fortunate. But you
can do the next best thing. You can
get along without using money for
ANYTHING except what is necessary.
You need not ask father for money TO
buy a new hat, for instance. You can
get along beautifully with the old one
or none at all. A shiny head of hair
Is good to look at in pleasant weather.
You need not ask for money to go to
q show You are better off in the
open air, walking across country,
swimming, reading in the shade OF
tree. You can get good book from
the library, you can reread an old
favorite, and be very happy in doing
it, You need not remind mother that
you need a new dress for the garden
party. You can get out the old ones
and select the best. Freshen it up
and wear it with a cheerful. smiling
face and be the best-dressed girl there.
A pretty dress helps, but it is useless
without the cheerful smile and the
glad heart of helpful child.
Your father and mother do not feel
that you are burden. Don't imagine
that you are, because it is an un-
healthy thought. They love you more
than they love anything on earth, and
they live and work for you gladly.
They need your help. They need to
feel your spirit responding to theirs in
order to carry on from day to day.
They are quick to feel your spirits
message. If it is whining and COM
planning, suffering deprivation and
boredom, they feel the heaviness of it
pressing down upon their overburdened
souls. They stagger under it.
A cheerful spirit will say: Don't
worry about me- don't need thing.
I'm perfectly happy as I am. Let me
help with the dishes. Let me clean
the car. You rest a little and let me
try that job. I want to help all I can
because you are the best father and
mother in the world to me and ! know
how hard things are these days" Life
then no longer will be hard and drab
and unlovely to the parents. 1t will be
a gay adventure once more because of
the love Of an adored child.
You don't have to speak. You don't
do is to feel grateful, sympathetic and
loving. Then your affection and un-
derstanding will shine through the
thousand little actions you perform
every day and make each day lovelier
than the last.
These two things you can do to
help: Do without things cheerfully.
knowing they do not count. Feel
grateful and glad for the love and care
that are so generously given you by
your father and mother. Nothing is
easier. Nothing will bring you such
return in happiness.

Dorthy Dix Says
Tell Your Children the Truth When You
Meet Financial Trouble.

one. And many millionaire's closely
guarded little son looks with envy at
the freedom of the boy from beyond
the tracks.
So there is no reason for parents to
lie to their children about being poor.
Children accept it as just condition
of life, and it makes them more con-
tented with their lot because they
recognize that their fathers and moth
erS are doing the best they can for
them. and that if they cannot have
everything they want 1t is because
tAeir parents cannot get 1t for them.
Not because they selfishly deny them.
OF course, 1t is easy to understand
why fathers and mothers try to save
their children from the hardships
they have known, hwy they want to
take on their backs all the load and
let the youngsters go free. That is
why we see parents keeping all of
their troubles to themselves so that
their children will be carefree, why
they walk so their children may have
sport cars, why mothers make callouses
on their hands so that their daugh-
ters' hands may be kept soft and
manicured.
7 BELIEVE this to also be a great
mistake. I believe that it develops
children'S characters to have reSpon-
sibilities put upon them, and that
it makes for family solidarity for chill
dren to be taken into their parents
confidence and told of all the family
problems and made to feel that they
must take their part in helping to
solve them.
I believe that there would be fewer
selfish sons and daughters if children
were made to pull their weight in the
boat instead Of being taken along as
de luxe passengers. 1t is not the chill
dren who have been pampered para
sites in a family, who have been reared
in idleness while their parents worked
and who have been kept from every
harsh wind that blew, who grow up
to be an honor to their mothers and
fathers. 1t is The children who have
shared in their parents anxieties and
labors and borne their part of the
family burden.

color, material and what we might
call silhouette. The shoe silhouette is
very important, especially as skirts

right type of shoe for the particular
type of costume it is to complement.
