WOMAN,S REALM E
Your ChiLdngn
By Olive Roberts Barton

Is 1t good for 8 child to move about? I mean when the family has to change residence often2 One family I know, on account of the nature of the fathers work, moves frequently from one city to another. Each time 1t means re- adjustment for the children, new friends to make, new scenes to get used to, new schools and kinder gartens. They take root one place and settle down to call 1t home and then before they know 1t, of they 90 to do 1t all oyer again, usually SO far away that no old contacts can possibly be maintained.
 The question is, do children bene- fit by such experiences or lose by them?
 At first glance 1t seems obvious. Poor little things" everyone says. Cheated out of everything normal child should have. Just as soon as a place becomes dear to them, they have to give 1t up. Surely they must feel very insecure, and insecurity is the worst possible thing for any, one."
 Silver Lining Here. Too
 The school angle comes in for its share of sympathy, too. Most people agree that children lose out by change, not only in place but in ability to learn; because the strang chiud cannot concen- trate at first with 50 many other motters to take his attention.
 While I agree with all these argu- ments, still I think I can see some advantage in this moving about. It is a rather broad experience for any child to make new way for Himself repeatedly. Besides, the true cosmopolite is one who never jells to one pattern or to any community. He becomes many-sided and learns a certain tolerance for things that are different.
 Home Town Is Comfortable Rpt
 Our point of view gets into a rut sometimes, living and dying in the good old way in the old home town. While such are the backbone of the i nation, the steady, the settled and content, there is always the danger that, transplanted when circum- stances force a change, they are completely lost and unhappy. Old things can become too dear for our own good in other words. And in this day and age of movement, which is bound to increase with the years, we who love certain environ ment, people and scenes too dearly will in the long run be the most miserable. Those who can bear tugs at the heart strings will be the most content.
 AS for the children, believe they won't feel too great 8 sense of in- security as long as their parents are near. l am sure such little folk are far better off than those whose parents have decided to part.
 The moot question is still unan- swered. Will such children become restless and wanderers? I don't think so. It is the child bound all his life by one horizon who begins to wonder what is over the hill. Copyright, 1936, NEA Service, Incl

GIoriWng Yourself
By Alicia Hart

Without charm 8 woman cannot be truly beautiful. She may have perfect features and she may be considered pretty, but if there is no warmth--no charm-behind her eyes and smile, few will think of her as beautiful.
 When you start your spring cam paign for greater beauty think about yourself-the inner you-as well as the proper care of your skin, hair and figure.
 Give some thought of your man. ners. Perfect etiquette, you know, isn't the cold, copy book kind that knows about spoons and forks and how to order Q meal. These out ward manifestations of manners are important, of course, but even more important to you, and your beauty, are manners that take kindliness tolerance as their inspiration.
 Selfishness is one of charms great est enemies. And one of beauty's too. Always to want your own way and to insit upon having 1t won't, in any final analysis, bring you real happiness. And happiness makes for charm and beauty. We should not be weak and wishy- -washy, but neither should we mistake in ourselves strength of character for just plain Stubbornness.
 An unpleasant voice and slip-shod speech are other enemies of charm. What matter that your eyes are large and luminous If your voice is so harsh that your listeners at tention is centered only in 1t? It is every woman's duty to cultivate a charming, soft voice.
 Each of us should remember that reading aloud helps to correct faulty enunciation and pronunciation. It also teaches us new words and bet ter ways to express whot we have to say. We are judged, at least as far as new acquaintances are con- cerned, largely by our conversation. Let us put improvement of my speech and voice" near the top of the list of things to be done to attain true beauty.

happy to have won the confidence of perplexed lovers, and distraught wives. .,~
 Dear Vita Vail: am . con- stant reader of your column and I feel that have benefited from your advice. I need some help at this time, and would appreciate it greatly if you will answer me through the medium of your column, as soon as possible.
 Have been happily married for five years, and my husband has been very dutiful considerate and kind to me and I love him dear ly and feel that my love is re- turned. About six weeks ago my husband employed a new secre- tary. She Is exceptionally attrac- tive and as they say has plenty of sex appeal You see 1t is a case of "Wife versus Secretary" as they say in the Movies. Mother keeps telling me I should insist that my husband discharge this girl; already remarks have reach- cd my ears which cause me annoyance
 Miss Vail, should continue to trust my husband and place my faith in him entirely, or should I insist that he engage less come- ly secretary.
 Very truly yours, M. |.
 My dear M. L.: For you to insist upon the discharge of your hus- bands attractive secretary, would be an open admission of your inferior ity complex. After all, while your husband continues to show you all the love and. attentiveness, to which you've been accustomed through five years of martial bliss, you will lessen his esteem of your good sense, and you will open the way for his resentment, if you ex- press distrust of him without cause. It takes a great will-power to over- come suspicion and Jealousy, I ad- nit; but summon that super human strength of character, which you will need at this time. Advise your mother that you will conduct your married life in your own way. Dis- courage those friendships which bring annoying reports of imaginary grievances. In the meantime, keep your poise and physical beauty up to par, and silently watch your attitude. Not 50 much his actions toward you; but those little lapses, when man is men, tally off-stage, 50 to speak.
 Unfortunately, no matter what your method might be in handling this hateful situation, wife versus secretary, is always difficult on both husband and wife.
 Hope that I have re-assured you, and that there are no grounds for your suspicion.

Style Chats

Paris (UP)-The latest Paris hats seemingly are designed only for the young girl blessed with small, regu- lar features. So eccentric that they border on the ridiculous. some of the new hats are totally unsuited to the average head and face.
 For example, there is a small torpedo hat in olive green velvet with Q crown of crushed rose petals. The hat is trimmed with Q tuft of green and pink ostrich feathers and is worn tilted over the right eye. Equally absurd is another shaped like . black felt torpedo trimmed with large loops of black satin ribbon wiaich iiop over the left eye.
 Tn contrast are the small round hats shaped like toreador head gear with crown Of dull straw and q bTiul Of black shiny weave. Others are with crowns Of black felt and bTimg Of white felt piped in black. The Mandarin hat, with an even wider brim likewise tsvning up. is equslly popular.

to become seriously undernourished before the infection has progressed very long.
 Tn children, infections of the ear and of the kidney, and occasionally tuberculosis. produce the worst ef- fects in this direction. Under such circumstances, the child may need not only quart of milk each day, but diet rich in nutritional sub- stances, to keep its weight and blood up to par.
 If the forcing of fluids, necessary because of infection, makes 1t diffi- cult for child to take the amount of milk recommended, the use of powdered milk, evaporated milk, or a similar preparation will serve the purpose.

Insulate Cellars

Tn houses that have no cellars, 1t is necessary, of course, to ventilate the space under the first floor. But in winter this is apt to make the floor cold, so insulation should be put under it. There are several types of insulation that may be used, the board, the blanket. or the loose type. Protect it with heavy waterproof paper from any damp ness that may get under the floor.

Gain POise by Learning Etiquette of Dining

Whats the matter Mabel? Too tired to sit up? And are you afraid your glass will get away from you?
 Posture at table is important. To loll forward, arms sprawled on the table, is as ungraceful as 1t is im- polite. Release that strangle hold on your goblet and hold 1t near the base of the bowl. Avoid nervous mannerisms, such as playing with the salt. drawing patterns with a fork. When only one hand is in use. keep the other in your lap. An elbow propped on the table now and then is not objectionable, but 1t must not become Q habit.
 To browse through our S2-page booklet makes good table manners easy. It tells which foods are eaten with the fingers and which with the fork only. How to eat such pug zlers as asparagus. artichokes, sand- wiches of every kind.
