Planning
Space for
Children
They Should Be First
Consideration When
Building Home.
BY ANGELO PATRI.


IT IS surprising to find that people
build town houses, towns and cities
without room for the children that are
to come. 1t is clear that unless chill
dren we're coming, these buildings
would be unnecessary for the most
part We live and work for the next
generation always, and yet we forget
to provide room for them.
Houses ought to have nurseries and
bed rooms and play rooms. I hope
that before the next batch of apart
ment houses goes up that the archi-
tects will remember they are to house
children and provide for them. There
is one set of apartments in Chicago
that does consider children, but they
are almost unique. There ought to
be garden, play space. nursery school
In every block of apartment houses so
that the children, already handi-
capped by city life, can have some
little chance for activity and social
growth.
New houses certainly ought to pro-
vide for the coming of children. In
the old days the scheme was to start
with the first eSsentials-kitchen, bed
room, maybe sitting room, and add
to these as the children came. That
Is not such poor scheme, provided
the original plan has the additions in
mind. The new house must have a
child's bedroom, handy bath room,
and a place for play protected from
traffic dangers. Young people build
Ing their first and perhaps only home,
must consider the care of their COM
ing children.
The country is the best place for
rearing chlldren-not the back coun-
try where there are no roads, no
schools, no modern helps to pleasant
living, but the country closer to big
centers. Here the children live in an
airy, well-lighted, warm house with
gardens, playmates and pets. The
schools are good. and the rich cultural
institutions of the big cities within
reach.
Good children can be brought up
In the city. Many have been. But
1t is harder for them to be healthy,
harder for them to be good, harder
for them to concentrate on their school
lessons because of the general noise
and hustle about them. There is no
reason for making childhood harder
than it must be. Life supplies diff
culties in plenty, and any we can
eliminate helps just that much toward
mental and physical health. A child
brought up in suburban community
has the best chance for strong body
and healthy nervous system.
We have not given the children's
place as much thought as we should
when establishing real estate develop
ments. In few rare places like
Radburne and the Chicago apart
ment I mentioned, the children have
been provided for and the owners
lost nothing by their foresight.
Some day, maybe sooner than we
think. the family will live in the clean
sweet country place and use the city
for trade purposes Industry may
have to be carried on in the cities,
but family life will carry on in the
garden towns. Then children will
truly come into their own But until
that time comes let's keep the chill
dren in mind and build for them first
instead of last.

Psychology
BY DR.. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Will Power.

IN AN old psychology text I find this
statement: will power is the
mighty monarch who sits upon the
throne of human intellect and sways
our destinies for good or evil" Read
this definition carefully. And then
reread it. Then take some time to
think about it.
That's how they used to explain
psychology. BY using beautiful words
and phrases which referred to some
thing mysterious.
Psychologists are not talking that
way nowadays. If you look through
the more recent texts on psychology
you find very little reference to will
power. It seems that the old re-
spectacle term has almost lost its
fascination, and I suppose it should.
For it really explains nothing.
Some say that will power is that
something which you create for your
self. Before you do something you
think it over. Then you go into &C
ton. You might then say that you
"willed" the act. On the other hand,
if you thought a proposed action over
and didn't do anything about 1t you
were merely rejecting" Thinking
then is of two sorts. willing" and
rejecting" But perhaps this dis
tinction isn't worth anything, either.

The forehead is very much in eW-

Is too often sadly neglected. Women
seem to concentrate on keeping that
part OF the face beautiful which ap-

Fingerbowl
Etiquette
Sinplified
Some Other Dining
Room Problems
Solved.
BY EMILY POST.


NEAR Mrs. Post: At family din
ner recently my married sister
had the waitress place before us,
after the meat course, finger bowl on
the dessert plate, on which were also
a dessert spoon and fork. Being her
crotchety bachelor brother (who is
nevertheless devoted to herr I ques-
toned her service and contended that
the finger bowl should be served sep
arately. She held that it was not
irregular to serve it this way in a
simple house, thereby expediting serv-
ice by letting each person at table
remove his finger bowl and use the
plate under it for dessert. Is my
sister right?
Answer: Your sister is entirely
right. In fact, what is known as
double" service of the finger bowl
following the dessert course was, until
comparatively short time ago, known
as hotel service and in every WELL
appointed house the correct dessert
was single" service-namely, a des-
sert plate, on that dolly. on that a
glass saucer, on that a matching
finger bowl; on either side Of the
finger bowl q fork and spoon. One
lifted of the finger bowl and ate
on the glass saucer. The used sau-
GERS were then removed two at a
time and fruit was eaten on the plate
that remained. At present, many peo-
pie have the finger bowl brought in
on the glass saucer with no plate
under it-a custom that Is very ugly,
since u saucer without a plate under
it IS both out Of scale and unsuitable.
The present fashion Is first a des-
sert plate with fork and spoon, then
the finger bowl on q fruit plate,
sometimes with a fruit knife and
fork and no dolly. The single serv-
ice is much more practical in Q
simple house. since it saves exchang-
ing plates one at q time. In fact,
since one leaves the table at once,
nothing at all need be removed.

a good wife to Jim. That's fine and

il you are irritable and fretful and
suspicious and nagging and gloomy.
1.-THE woods are full of divorced
women who were model wives and
did their full duty by their husbands
but who are so disagreeable their hus-
bands couldn't stand them. What a
man wants is pleasant wife, wife
who is easy to look at and good
natured and amiable and who has a
laugh hung on hair trigger. And if
you are easy to live with, you needn't
bother about the major and minor
domestic virtues. Your husband won't
know whether you've got 'em or not.
"Bear in mind, my child, that what
| a man really marries for is to get a
claque. The reason he assumes some
girls food and lodging and shopping
ticket for life is because she has made
him believe that she, alone in all the
world, looks upon him as an oracle
and a spellbinder, and sees how Won
derful and handsome he is. And all
goes we'll as long as she gives him
the glad hand.
NEvER have I seen a wife for
' saken by her husband who was
an adept salve spreader. No woman
who can mix a heady brew of home
flattery need ever fear the other
woman. So leave it to those who do
not have to live with him to tell your
husband of his faults, correct his
grammar and pronunciation and yawn
over his stories. You keep the incense
burning and great shall be your re-
ward.

L it at its best, this story will not
interest you in the least. But if you
have happened to look carefully at the
faces of an average crowd of people
as they walk along the streets, you will
find that the vast majority do not have
the best of compilations, and there is
always large percentage that have
definitely bad skins. Some of these are
very young, and the condition may be
a temporary one; others are no longer
young and have allowed lack of time
or carelessness to develop muddy
skin condition, where blackheads and
enlarged pores produce a most un-
slightly appearance.
During cold weather these conditions
are apt to be much exaggerated, due
to insufficient elimination of impure
ties through the skin, and another con-
tributing factor may be a chilly bath
room, which cuts down the amount of
time you might otherwise spend on a
Thorough facial cleansing each night.
But it is always refreshing to know
that nothing is impossible, and that if
you attack the problem from the
proper angle you will probably begin
to get results in short time.
ENLARGEMENT OF pores, as you
undoubtedly know, is caused by
overactive glands. The greater the
flow of oil. the wider the pore base.
The enlarged pore is receptive to dirt
collection, which, in time, solidifies and
forms blackheads, which, if not prop
erly cleansed from the skin, often
cause infection, sometimes developing
into blemishes which may result in an
acne condition. Large pores cannot be
contracted from the surface alone; in
stead they must first be cleansed and
then shrunk at the base.
We have found an "open pore and
blackhead" wash that will start you on
the road out of your difficulties. It is
a heavy, slightly gritty paste, that may
either be used as supplement to or a
substitute for soap and water. It is
diluted with warm water and worked
into the affected areas with the finger
tips in rotary motion and then rinsed
of. It should be followed by applica-
tions of cold water to contract the
pores, or still better, a pore reducer
with more astringent qualities that will
shrink the pores from the base. This
