When House
Holds Three
Generations
Blessings or Compli-
cations May Be
Result.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

TT WOULD be fine if all grandpas
and grandmothers were kind and
lovely. Most of them are, and the
blessed, indeed. Kindly, understand
ing grandparents can make the lives
of little children rich beyond the
dreams of a fairy godmother They
tell stories, they take delightful walks,
strolling slowly along the way 50 that
short legs have no trouble to keep
pace. They are leisurely in word and
action, and there Is plenty Of time to
stand before the camel or at the toy
shop window. And these experiences
are highly essential to childhood.
Kindly grandpa or grandma explains
patiently. over and over, the ways OF
the street cleaner. the habits of the
horse that draws the milk wagon, the
strange ways Of the man who goes up
and down the street with a bag on
his shoulder, ringing bell and calling,
| "Old clothes" And the dogs and cats
along the way come in for observation
and talk. Dogs do not bite children
who like them and are kind to them,
but better not touch them unless they
come up and ask you to. Such things
trouble a child at night if they lie
underlined in his mind.
Grandpa and grandma are refugees
In time Of illness. They hold weary
children in their arms, talk gently to
them. coax them to sleep. They sit by
the bed, ready to hand the drink or
| the toy that Is wanted, ready to
smooth a sheet or turn a pillow. It
means q lot to an ailing child to have
| some one beside him who is not in
hurry to 60 somewhere else and to do
something else. Mothers have more to
do than they ever hope to get done,
and a kindly grandparent seems like
q heavenly visitor.
But what is to be done when that
grandparent Is not heavenly? When
the infirmities of age are making
themselves felt SO that children's noise
and activity are uncomfortable? When
temper is short and speech is long
and sharp? That condition Is the
expression of infirnlity, illness, and it

are not well, even though they sit in
their chairs, walk to the corner for
the paper or to the store for a brief
word with the shopkeeper. They need
care and tenderness, even though
their tempers snap occasionally.
An ailing grandparent in the house
with children makes the mothers life
complicated. She must keep the chill
dren away from the old person. She
must keep peace between them as long
as she can. 1t is hard to be told, IF
that was my child I'd teach him to
behave himself or I'd know the reason
why" when you have been doing your
very best.
There is no easy way. One does the
best one can. Try to keep the warning
factions as far apart as possible.
Grandpa's room or grandaunt's chair
are to be sacred. The children should
play outdoors as much as the time and
weather permit and go to another
room In the house when they come in
so that the older people need not be
near them. And hope for the best.
Old age comes to us all, and In diff
| ferent ways.

Importance
Of Brushing
Hair Daily
Waves Should Not
Discourage This
Rite.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

THE law Of compensation doesn't

instance, has served to glorify the
hair, but it has, to certain extent.
discouraged brushing. Because wom-
en- enormously think that brushing
destroys the wave. It doesn't. Prop
erly done, brushing makes wave
setting more pronounced.
Brushing not only cleanses, but
polisnes the hair, and hair that is
highly polished reflects the light,
shows every undulation of to advan-
tage. If you understand that. you
also understand that brushing is re-
lated TO the coiffure-enhances 1t, in
fact.
If it is asking too much to call for
the hundred strokes a day, If out OF
sheer laziness or fear of destroying
the setting you fail to brush daily. at
least you can catch up on the brush
ing somewhat, once week or so.
Just before the shampoo and set

shampoo routine in very fine beauty
salon I know calls for thorough
brushing before the shampoo to loosen
any imbeded dirt, dandruff. foreign
matter. Then the shampoo. And
after the shampoo, while the hair is
still moist, more brushing. And I
wish you could see the way those scalp
specialists WELD the brushes, two of
them alternately, until the scalp fairly
tingles.
With so many fine brushes on the
market, there Is no reason why every
woman should not have very good
brush. 1t is an investment well worth
making. If necessary skip some beauty
luxury, for a good brush is a neces-
sity. One brush with medium bristles
is sufficient for bobbed heads. although
two similar brushes, rotated-one in
use while the other is cleaned-are
preferable. Many women like to use
two brushes at once, just as men Of
means use their military brushes. Fine,
If you can afford it.

reach through the hair and its fric-
ton should be felt over the scalp. At
the same time it should not scratch,
irritate or abrade the skin of the scalp
nor pull the hair. The whole brush
ing manipulation done with a solidly
good brush Is actually pleasurable;
the friction is almost as valuable as
a shampoo. Bear in mind that brush
ing removes dust and CRIME, distributes
the natural oil evenly over the hair

actually increases the normal luster
Of the hair and you realize how i'm

beauty.
The proper technique of brushing
and care of the brush are fully out

Plying Themselves.

know old maids who retired from the
world when they were Tilted by q
faithless sweetheart. Wives who have
worn mourning for 20 years for their
dead husbands. Mothers who nave
spent their lives grieving over the
babe they lost.
II n -
THESE women have made fetish
of grief and, strange as 1t seems,
they have found a morbid consolation
and comfort in pitying themselves and
dwelling upon their broken hearts and
thinking how forlorn and desolate
they were.
Most of us have rheumatism In our
shoulder from having had 1t wept upon
by unhappy wives who had husbands
who were philanderers, or drunkards,
or grouches, or tightwads, or what not.
Many and many is the hour We have
spent in listening to the tales Of woe
of women who told of the cruelty Of
husbands who beat them, or Of lazy
husbands who wouldn't support them
and the children, or Of husbands who
spent the money that should have
bought milk for the baby on a plat
mum blond. 1t Is a sad story, sisters.
and we have mingled our tears without
stint with those Of the afflicted ladies.
But did you ever try to get one Of
these unhappy wives to do something
about it and leave the husband who
SO misused her? And when you did,
did you ever find one of them who was
willing to part with her cross? Never.
And then it slowly dawned on you that
your sympathy was wasted and that
the unhappy wife was having the time
of her life in pitying herself and talk
ing about her troubles and being an
object of sympathy. She had real
grievance and she was going TO make
the most of it. And keep it.

THE mania women have for self
pity, however, finds its worst ex-
preston in the mothers who sacrifice
their children to it. They pose as
martyrs and talk about what they
have suffered for their children, how
hard they have worked for them, how
ungratefN children are, and how they
have left their poor, lonely, old moth
ers to go off and get married or to 60
into business until you would think
that there wasn't a happy mother in
the world. Nor one that enjoyed her
children nor a decent son and daugh-
ter extant. All the many songs just
drip with tears, so 1t Is no wonder
they are popular.
Perhaps in world that is filled
with trouble it is lucky for US that we
can get happiness out of our unhappi-
ness Anyway, we surely do have a
grand time pitying ourselves.

a million have accepted the relief OF

Are you compelled to favor your

And even if it didn't keep you abso-

Social Barker
Is Offensive
To Friends
BY EMILY POST.
NEAR MRS. POST: Last week

.DEAR MRS. POST: Last week you

barker and then said that recon-
mending" some one who was being
introduced was all right If it was not
done too often. What did you mean
by this? I don't understand word
Answer-Tm sorry my answer was so
vague. What meant by not being q
barker" was that certain hostesses
love to exploit their guests almost in
the way barkers at side shows are
supposed to do. May I introduce you
to Miss Songstress whose marvellous
voice has thrilled the nobility of
Europe?" And May I present Mr..
Traveller. who has written those Won
derful books on the origin of pigmies
and geographical outlines of the fu-
ture?" Or, Miss Lovely, with whom
the Prince or Wales danced three
times in one evening"" Personal ap-
pearance remarks are even worse:
Capt Dashing-the handsomest man
in the Army" or Mrs. Spending,
awarded the grand prize Of the Dress
markers, Inc" Or, II want you TO have
the privilege Of meeting Mrs. Mothers,
the noblest example Of American wom-
anhood.''
These are all exaggerations, but at
least they indicate the sort Of barking
that should be avoided. BY recon-
mendation" (perhaps not a very good
word) I meant, Mary, this is Katha-
rine Green; you have both heard so
much about each other from me that
you can't very well be strangers Or.
Aunt Jane. this is my roommate, Mary
Green" or as I quoted last week, This
is John Henry, the oldest friend I
have in the world" Or perhaps I can
explain best by saying that remarks
which show off" people we know are
bad. But remarks made in appreciation
or affection are entirely proper-when
not done too often. BY that I mean
recommendation Of every one. which
becomes merely habit. has no value.

= RvING BERLIN, who should know
what he is talking about, tells
young musical composers that the
i short cut to popularity and sue
cess is to write songs that give people
a chance to pity themselves. The
heart bowed down Is always a surefire
hit. The public just eats up the
chance to tell all about its secret sor-
rows and how lonely and blue it Is.
The idea of thus capitalizing grief is
rather startling at first, but there is no
doubt that the plan will work, and
that he who can start the tears flow-
ing will find 1t as profitable as If he
had struck an oil gusher. For it is
undeniable that the favorite indoor
and outdoor sport Of untold thousands
of our fellow creatures is sympathiz-

Just why a certain type Of man and

pleasure In torturing themselves and
in making mountains out of the mole

every little unpleasantness until they
turn a pinprick into a mortal wound,
