Vienna beauty of the days Of the
Merry Widow" is no more. The wom-
en- cannot seem to erase mask OF
fear which clouds their beauty and
adds lines to their faces. In Ger
many personal beauty is frowned upon.
The male of the species does not
want his mate to be anything but
stolid housewife. In Italy child-bear-
ing is the goal, often forced one, OF
every married woman. Marriages are
"musts." Women have little chance
to remain young. In France women
overbeautify themselves, while in Eng
land they really have not learned the
art of makeup. even though COM
plexions are traditionaly lovely. The
United States is, after all, "the beauty

Isn't that interesting? And doesn't
it make you want to make the most

Get plenty of sleep, keep mentally

time. And along with her makeup she
removes petty worries and every day

Her coloring; olive skin, blue eyes

Children'S
Mistakes
Ridicule and Constant
Criticism Have Bad
Effect.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

SCRISSY, heard them down In the
living room and they were laugh

"oh, no, child. What would they
be laughing at you for'"
"'Cause I made that mistake when
Mrs. Morry was here that day. You

Morry comes. feel terrible, crissy."
Now don't you get to worrying
about that, child. They don't mean
anything by it. Children are funny
sometimes. So are grownupS. You
lust laugh at them and see how they
like it. I'll help you get ready for
bed and tell you funny story about
your grandmother. One that hap
pened to her a long time ago."
That night a little girl cried herself
to sleep because because she heard
herself ridiculed before strangers. She
felt that the gay laughter and the
lightly told story of her childish mis-
take were ridicule. Her family thought
her mistake funny and the telling
about it Just a humorous account OF
a quaint child's latest words and deeds.
The child was deeply hurt, but the
family did not know that and merely
noticed that she was quieter than us
ual for a few days. They did not
know that the child felt friendless.
deserted and betrayed in the midst
of her family.
1t is not fair to tell about children's
mistakes, even when they seem fun
nv. Not unless the child feels that
they are funny and joins in the
laughter. Even then there IS neeo
for caution, for many a child mas
joined In the laugh against himself
only to 90 out and weep in the COM
forting darkness. Laughter can oe a
deadly weapon.
When children make serious mis-
takes that bring down the wrath or
the disdain of others upon them, don't
talk about it. If you happen upon
such a bit of knowledge keep it forever
to yourself. Don't tell. Even when
the child is stranger to you do not
tell or talk about his wrong doing.
The more people who know about 1t,
the stronger is public opinion against
him. Now children need the support
that good opinion gives them. They
need it as an incentive to keep, to
hold, good opinion concerning them IN
the minds of all the community. once
allow a child to feel that everybody
knows about his wrong-doing, that
everybody is talking about it, con-
derning him, he has lost the chief
incentive for right-doing. Call dog
q thief and he will steal, is true here.
In my experience with children !
have found that no good comes OF
passing along the stories of their mis-
deeds. 1t only increases the obstacles
they have to overcome. Let the mis-
takes lie in the past, as they are in
tended to lie, and be forgotten. Let
each day be new one with fresh
beginning enlivened by fresh hope,
which cannot be the case if evil deeds
ere kept alive in peoples memories.
1t is the duty of every grown per-
son to protect children from their
ignorance and error. No mention
should be made of their mistakes.
The names of erring children should
not be made public. Error dies in
neglect. Good thrives on belief and
acceptance.

Dorothy Dix Says
Much Disaster and Crime Comes From
Cramped Living Quarters

their beaux, young men spent their
evenings visiting Sally or Maud or
Gertrude and did the kind of courting
that leads to the altar.
But now when q young man has to
spend an evening In the bosom Of her
family If he goes to see a girl, and
have mother and father, little sister,
Aunt Ellen and Grandpa listen in on
every word he says, he simply doesn't
come. He telephones Sally to meet
him at the corner and they step out to
places to dine and dance, which may
be lots of fun, but doesn't lead to mar
riage. A girl has 100 per cent better
chance of wangling proposal out of
a man against the background of her
home than she has at night club.
WHY kitchenette apartment is not
cited as the correspondent in
many q divorce case, I don't know,
because 1t Is so often at the bottom
Of the whole trouble. Somehow, even
the most devoted husbands and wives
have to come up for air now and
then. They have to have little
solitude. q little privacy, little leeway
In which to do as they please without
trespassing on the others property; /;
and If they can't have this, II there Is
nowhere where they can get OF by
themselves, and think a few thoughts
of their own and drop cigarette ashes
on the floor, or leave hair In the comb,
or read. in bed, they are bound to get
on each others nerves.
Nothing short of the grand passion
can stand an overdose Of another's
society and being always under sur
veillance and having to tell why you
do everything you are doing. Many q
trip to Reno would be saved if hus-
bands and wives had not had to live
so that they got perpetual closeup
of each others faults,
~
A ND Of course, cranped living quar-
tiers are the first aid to juvenile
delinquency. There Is nothing q child
can do in small room except wreck
the furniture and break the windows
and raise Cain and when his poor,
tired, overworked mother gets to the
point where she can't stand the racket
any longer she sends him on the
streets to play and get the education
OF the street and make his friends
among the gamins of the street and
only too often end. as so many Of
the boys of the street do, in criminal
gangs.
Nobody Is to blame, Of course. 1t Is
just the way things are. Big houses
cost money. Space Is luxury. But If
the new Housing Commission could
see its way to build bigger houses with
more rooms in them it would do a
great thing for the moral uplift of the

Of August.
A GOOD foundation for your make
= up is more essential in Summer
than at any other time. To Danish the
shining nose and keep a cool. fresh
look at all times Is a problem. We
have found a marvellous little jar of
foundation cream that comes in FIVE
different colors and will do the trick
easily, II you follow the directions
carefully.
Put small dabs of the thick creamy
paste at strategic points on face and
throat, then carry cold water to the
face with the hands to dilute and
tone in the cream With dry hands
smooth over the entire area. until you
have a dainty, natural and even
waterproof foundation for your make
up.
Now if you are a good Scotchman
you will get this protective cream
along with irridescent eye shadow for
the lids, eyelash grower, and a box OF
powder all for one slim dollar, attrac-
lively boxed for convenience in using
at home or keeping in your desk at
the Office.
For added bath luxury during the
Summer we have found for your
enjoyment three products from a we'll
known manufacturer that form an
interesting trio. First is the bath
essence, long popular. and now OBJ
tainable in a small guest size at 81.
Only 10 drops in tub of warm water
gives q delicious fragrance that will
haunt you for hours after. Or rub
on a small amount before you step
under the shower and you will obtain
the same effect.
Next q cake of delicately fragrant
new herbal soap in gardenia, lilac or
rose Is q perfect cleansing agent, gen.
tie, yet thorough, making clouds of
creamy perfumed lather and leaving
the skin smooth and soft. As finish
er there Is q new body sachet, some-
thing different from the ordinary
busting powder. It actually films over
the body, and an added deodorant in
gredient assures complete protection
at all times. It is said to absorb every
least suspicion Of moisture, keeping
you fresh for hours. The tall, round
shaker top box Of quilted-sattn paper
in pastel shades, with generous lambs
wool puff to match. will appeal to your
artistic sense.
NOV comes q hint to the men. We
read that the American man, de-
spite his zeal for wholesome cleanli-
ness, is still deodorant-shy! And we
believe this to be true to a great ex-
tent, due in large measure to the fact
that most deodorants are directed to
the attention Of the women. Men do
not want to be dainty" 80 they do not
bother with these things.
But one firm, which has specialized
on needs of men Of action" has just
perfected a deodorant and antiseptic
powder, easy to use, that men will
readily appreciate. It is the answer
to q long-felt masculine grooming
need, and perhaps you will want to
slip can of it alongside the other
masculine toilet necessities in your
home and watch results.
