Nature is a lovely thing

As they skip about their play.
People singing joyful songs,
As they skip along.

DEAR MISS DIX: My mother makes
us so unhappy because she will
take no part in the life about US, yet
she expects us to stay with her all the
time. Nothing is wrong with her.
Nothing is wrong with the house or
the family, yet all she does is to
worry about her domestic problems.
There are many women who would
gladly be her friends. but she will have
nothing to do with them; says she Is
too busy with her housework. NV
father tries so hard to get her at least
interested in the moving pictures. but
she won't do it. SO now he goes alone
I am young girl and have to stay at
home all the time because she has her
feelings hurt if she is left alone. Isn't
there anything we can do about it?

his mind in a hurry!
BY ANGELO PATRI.


THIS is in praise of soap. Each day
as meet great groups Of chill
dren from all sorts of homes think
with gratitude of the soap that helped
them to come to school clean. pro-
tected against dirt and disease as far
as cleanliness can protect them. And
that is, to a degree, not to be despised.
Clean children have greater chance
Of health and long life than neglected
ones.
never enter a hospital without
secretly giving the unknown maker
of soap a heartfelt thank you. The
immaculate walls and floors, the
starched perfection of the nurses
uniforms, the sweet cleanliness Of the
sick and suffering patients are like
heavenly incense rising in praise of
good soap. Many stricken body is
helped to health by its timely service.
Children are the greatest benefici-
aries. Soap makes for cleanliness,
and cleanliness is the first step in
health. A clean child is more likely
to be healthy child than otherwise.
A dirty child is sure to be sick. He
carries sickness on his hands and
face, eats it, in fact, and suffers the
consequences.
One days dirt does not hurt child
as much as continued dirt, Of course,
but daily acquaintance with soap
and warm water Is imperative for
reasons Of health. Children love to
play in the earth and they should be
allowed to do so, but after the play
comes the washing-with soap.
Children should be trained not to
get into actual dirt. and call things
that are decayed, rusted. messed with
other decayed and decaying materials
dirt, in distinction between them and
the clean, earthly soil. The soil that
is the earth is not filthy and germ
filled as Is the dirt of the gutter and
the dump. From such dirt disease is
bred, and against it the daily bath
with soap and warm water is an ef-
fective disinfectant.
After play child ought to wash his
hands and face with soap and warm
water. Hand-washing before eating
meals ought to be a ritual and the
soap ought never to be omitted.
Let children have the soap they
like. There is no danger of their
selecting harsh soap if they get a
chance to select the gentle. soothing,
comforting soap that removes dirt
without removing the skin along with
it. Even if they like perfumed soap
and you hate it, let them have it as
long as it is Of good quality. A good
odor helps to promote health. and
pleasure in some perfume promotes
the good feeling that aids health. His
taste will improve, in time, Just as
long as he learns to like to use good
soap he can have his way about its
color, its shape and its odor.
Good soap, used habitually. pro-
notes the health Of body and spirit.
There Is inspiration in the feeling of
bodily cleanliness. It gives a lift to
the soul. High aspirations are not to
be found in frowzy. "unsoaped" COM
pany. Teach children to be clean in
body and there Is much hope that
the teaching will reach their souls as
well.

Waterproof
Perfected
Considered Ideal for
Beach Makeup.
Tips Given.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

1T DOESN'T matter whether 1t Is
just one of those fieeting Summer
romances or a lasting one in the bud
In fact, 1t doesn't matter II there's
no romance at all. Every young
woman who goes in swimming owes
1t to her peace of mind to use water
proof makeup. Especially If that
mind Is made up about q certain
young man.
For there's no sorrier sight to the
certain young man than q rouge
spotted, mascara -streaked, Gp-smudged
lady love, who a few minutes before
looked SO color perfect that he could
have sworn it was natures own
well, that is, helped a bit, but Sc
subtly that he could hope at least
half of it was natures own.
Men don't mind makeup any more
not modern men-and not when 1t
is properly, beautifully applied. But
men never like to see streaked make
up.
Wise women know that. They show
their husbands and sweethearts the
finished picture always. No need for
the men folks" to see any part OF
the facial routine-the hair in curl
ers or the chin in a strap or the make
up being applied step by step. Let
them wonder how and when 1t is done
and how much of it Is put on. They'll
admire you the more for II.
And don't disillusion them by let
ting them see the makeup coming
of in streaks and patches after a
swim.
With so many excellent water
proof brands on the market land
they cost little more, If anything, than
the kind that wits and streaks of)
there's no excuse for not choosing
wisely and we'll.
Cream or liquid rouge lasts longer
than the compact variety. Applied
over liquid foundation, its wear
ing qualities are prolonged. Careful
blending Of a waterproof makeup Is
another secret: edges softened to make
the color look the soft, under-the-s skin
variety that is kin to natures. Water
proof mascaras are legion. Water
proof powder is to be had in a va
riety Of shades, too. Lipstick Is in
delible enough-at least indelible to
the point that purity permits. A good
trick when applying lipstick is to
allow it to "set." Avoid moistening
the lips, eating or drinking for about
10 minutes. Then press a tissue be-
tween the lips The excess color will
come of, but the remainder will form
lasting coat. Finally dust lightly
with powder to give q softened and
more lasting effect.
If you are in doubt as to what colors
to use or how. to apply subtly to ap-
parently change the shape Of your
face or features, send self-addressed,

The Young
Generation
w h en- Children Go
distinguishing
Invitations.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR Mrs. Post: My two young
daughters are to spend a week
with a friend of mine and her two
young daughters at their Summer
cottage. While there, my girls will
be looked after most of the time by the
nursemaid who takes care Of my
friends children. Is there something
I can do for this maid and would you
say that it might be nice for my
children to take something for their
little hostesses?
Answer - Wait until the children
return and then send the maid a note
thanking her for her care Of them
and inclose a gratuity. 1t would be
very nice to take presents to the
children, certainly, but it Is not nee
essary.
Dear Mrs. Post: We have lived in
this neighborhood about six months,
but in that time none of the neighbors
has called, although every one speaks
and appears friendly enough. have a
little girl aged and would like to
give party for her. Most Of the
little guests will be the friends she
made in kindergarten school. but
there are two children her age who
live across the road and who come
over to play occasionally and she
would like me to ask them, too. Their
mothers have never called and I don't
even know the children's last names.
May I ask them and how could I
90 about it under the circumstances
Answer-It is entirely proper that
she should ask all her own little
friends. Therefore, simply send the
same invitations to the children
across the street which are sent to
the others. It can't be very dificult
to find out what your neighbors'
names are and as your child will
probably tell them about the party
they will know all about 1t when the
invitation comes.
/ Dear Mrs. Post: If q couple Is
dancing on a public dance hoor and a
boy whom the girl knows but does
not particularly care to dance with
cuts in, must she accept the cut-in
the same as she would be expected
to were they at a private dance?
Answer-I think under the circum-
stances you describe the girl would
have had to dance with him for a
short time and then politely ask that
she be taken back to her own part
ner. Properly, 1t is not correct for a
man to cut in at a public dance
unless he is an intimate friend. What
he ought to do is to 60 to her table
and say, How do you do" and then
ask her casually If she would like to
dance with him. This gives her q
chance to say Eyes" or mo. not to-
night" or II can't leave my partner"
or merely "No, can't dance, but
thank you all the same"

There is popular Italian legend,
however, that is amusing, even if it
Is mostly fiction. According to this
tale. in the year 1920, under the reign
of King Frederick Of Suabia, there
lived famous magician named Chico.
This individual, unhappily, lost his
fortune and his friends through some
circumstances which are not ex-
planned. He turned hermit and de-
cided to devote the rest of his life to
tnventing a dish that would prove Of
lasting benefit to mankind Just as
the invention was being perfected, a
woman called Jovanella. the wife of
a scullion in the royal kitchen. peeped
through the window and watched the
proceedings. Thus she discovered his
secret and decided she would profit
thereby.
She returned to the palace and
told the king that it had been revealed
to her in dream how to concoct a
dish that was unequaled in flavor and
wholesomeness. The king permitted
her to offer concrete proof of the mat
ter, which she did, in a dish of meat
cheese, tomatoes and garlic, combined
with long tubes made of -four, eggs
and salt. Frederick consumed this
delicacy. and was pleased to reward
the lady with 100 gold pieces. He
also named the tubes macaroni, from
"macarus," meaning divine"
Mistress Jovanella f1ourished might
fly, selling her secret" to the great
houses of the neighborhood, and gain
ing in both fame and riches. How
ever, one day the great Chico, having
perfected his invention to the nth
degree, sailed forth to give it to an
eager waiting public. Alas. he had
hardly stepped outside his own door
before his nOStrils were aSSalled by

The Old Gardener Says:

Flowers keep best when cut
with a sharp knife. Scissors
crush the tissue and a dull knife
tears 1t so 1t does not absorb va
ter readily. After being cut the
flowers should be plunged into a
deep receptacle filled with water
and left for a few hours in a cool
place. The water should be deep
enough to come we'll up to the
flowers and the receptacle should
be sufficiently large so the stems
are not crowded. But the petals
should never be submerged Flow
ers freshly gathered and imme-
diately arranged in the room
often wither quickly and are dis
appointing. When left in water
in q cool place overnight, or at
least few hours, the plant tissue
becomes filled with water, the
stems are stiff and erect and the
flowers are better able to with
stand dry atmospheric conditions.
