Youngsters Should Be
Kept Off the Streets
During Vacation Time
Possible for Families to "Chip In to
Pay for Services of Adult
Group Leader.

duSting and bed-making would take
little enough time, and she would thus
be able to get away for the earlier
part of the afternoon.
All this, Of course. applies only to
the younger children. The older ones
can join some of the excellent organi-
cations founded especially with the
idea of keeping them off the streets
and making good citizens, rather
than alley cats, out of them. There
are Fairgrounds where they are under
a certain amount of adult supervision.
1t is often possible during the Sum-
mer for several families to group to-
gether and pay for the services of
young college student to take 10
or II of the neighborhood chill
dren off for games in the afternoon,
for hikes. swimming, and so forth.
The expense borne by each family in
this arrangement is negligible, and the
children are getting something out of
the Summer afternoons which they
will appreciate all their lives.
MOST children don't want to be
alley cats. They become like
that due to the fact that there is
nowhere to go and nothing to do at
home" I don't for a moment believe
that the average boy or girl wouldn't
rather go on a cycling picnic with
an adult companion who was a good
sport and knew just how to make
things 60, than scuff his or her toes
on the street corner curb, watching
the cars flash by.
Parents are busy-I know that. But
much could be done to relieve the
hustle and hustle and worry of their
days if they would devote a little
time to planning their childrens
waking hours little more carefully.
BY making a project attractive they
can easily win the youngsters CO.
operation, and thus the routine of
the day will be established for all
concerned. There will be no WON
dering where Mamie is now"
Mother will know very we'll that
Mamie is taking a hike along the
canal with her gang" and will re-
turn tired enough to 60 to bed, happy
and tanned, just in time for supper.
And if Jim is playing base ball on
the nearby vacant lot it is with
bunch of boys who are busy trying
to help their older coach figure out
some way to raise money for snappy
uniforms. and who will come straight
home looking for remunerative chores
about the house, rather than loafng
around the streets all evening
Talk over with your neighbors the
idea of chipping in" on an older COM
panion for your boys and girls for the
Summer months. 1t really works
wonderfully we'll. and when school
starts again in the Fall the chill
dren will be in far better shape,
both physically and mentally. than
if they had been running wild during
vacation. AS for the little ones, spare
no pains to amuse them on their own
premises, and perhaps the grim toll
of youthful traffic victims will grow
smaller and smaller.

Items for
Travelling
Vanity Kit
Cosmetic Beauty for
the Bride at All
Times.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

IF AUNT AGATHA starts preaching
how much harder it was when she
was a girl, don't protest. Her hard
ships may be bit exaggerated. But
it is nevertheless true that things are
ever so much easier for you.
Think OF the boxes and bottles that
hold forth promise Of beauty for you.
promises that will be kept, too. just so
long as you persevere a bit and devote
few minutes day to their contents.
And think of the boxes that hold all
manner of comfort for you-but we'll
come back to them later.
In buying beauty choose the items
that will do the very most for you.
List your essentials. Buy advertised
brands that you know have fine repu-
tation to uphold And buy the items
suited to your needs. Cleansing cream,
skin tonic, skin food, rouge, powder,
lipstick, eye shadow, eyebrow brush,
mascara; these are more or less essen
tial. A good hand lotion should be in
cluded with the important items fer
facial care. And to these good comb,
brush, comb cleaner and an individual
lied preparation for care of your hair:
a good ointment, for instance, for the
dry scalp, an astringent tonic for the
oily.
In addition to the hand lotion, there
are fine manicuring kits. compact
and SO efhcient-not thing omitted
so that If you are caught on a desert
island and your nails need repairing
you can easily take care of the task.
II you are travelling, be sure to include
such kit. A broken nail is something
we are all subject to.
Speaking of travelling. there are
innumerable kits fully equipped with
beauty. From the very simple kits
including only the bare essentials to
the more elaborate ones with perfume
and what not.
Perfume and bath accessories now
come under the heading of essentials
Tor the bride-not luxuries. And what
II they are luxuries. This is one time
when you can afford to be. and should
be, bit extravagant. Several shades
OF cosmetics to go with different
costume colors. Why not? A few
perfumes. And atomizers. And beau

And boxes-what boxes-for gloves.
jewels, handkerchiefs. in lovely en-
sembles. And monogramed sets of
cases for lingerie, for hot-water bags.
undergarments, special cases for shoes.

Formal or
Informal
Weddings
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. PosT-My father is
dead and my mother is away in
sanitorium and I live with a sister
and brother. am going to be mar
ried and my fiance's mother has sug-
gested that a wedding for just the
immediate families and reception to
include others afterward be given at
her house. She insists that under the
circumstances it is in perfectly good
taste that they give the wedding for
me. What is your feeling about this?
Answer-Unless both your brother
and sister are very young, think the
invitations should go out in the older
ones name or in their names together
Otherwise. outsiders might consider
them lacking in interest. or perhaps
you more fond of your fiance's family.
Even so, the wedding and reception
may, under the circumstances, take
place at the latter's house.
Dear Mrs. Post-There is to be a
wedding in the family soon and only
space in the house for about so or go
guests. But the groom feels that he
should invite some of his Office asso-
ciates, which will make twice their
number, of course, if their wives must
be invited. Isn't there some way the
latter can be omitted without causing
hard feelings?
Answer-It is very unusual to invite
husbands without wives or wives with
out husbands. Formal invitations
would have to be sent to Mr. and Mrs
But if the men from the Office were
asked at an hour when they would be
leaving the Office together, it might be
quite possible, provided, of course, that
you do not know their wives and that
you invited them verbally. In other
words, they would be going to the we'd
ding of an Office associate rather than
to the wedding of personal friend.

children riding tricycles up and down,
playing ball in the middle of the
street. dodging cars as they Whlzz by
and sprawling all over neighborlng
doorsteps with the rest of the gang"
For this there would seem 10 be no
possible excuse, but it is a very sad
truth. In the very parts OF the city
where homes are chosen because OF
their quiet dignity and elegance,
there is more street ball playing than
almost anywhere else.
EOR the mother who lives in
- house with a back yard things
are not so complicated. If she knows
that there is a stout fence and fool
proof gate, she may embellish the
place with sandboXes, tents or what
have you. calculated to amuse the
young and turn even a small child
loose to play to his hearts content,
while she peeps at him often from
the window. or sits beside him pre-
pairing vegetables or doing the darn
ing. A front lawn may be utilized
in much the same way-only, Of
course. there will not be the privacy
to be found in the yard or garden.
Living in a small apartment presents
a far greater problem. If there is
balcony large enough for a sandbox,
with a railing so high and closely
barred that the child cannot possibly
climb up-that will help. Chicken
wire stretched onto the inside of the
railing all around is one of the best
ways that I know of to prevent in
vestigative toe-work. and is not so
heavy that it will keep of the sun and
air.
If the balcony cannot accommodate
one of the regulation sandboxes, then
make one to fit, out Of gayly painted
wood, with a sheet of tin to be placed
over it at night to keep out rain and
dampness. A beach umbrella can be
wired to a side of the railing at an
angle, to keep off the rays of the sun
when it is at its hottest-some SUM-
light is necessary for the little child,
but too much is apt to leave un-
pleasant symptoms in its wake.

A VERY small apartment, where
there is no balcony, might per-
haps have big, sunny windows in one
room, which could be opened; the
space in front of them could be fenced
of with screens to avoid drafts. Here
the youngsters toys could be assem-

you advise girl not TO
marry a stingy man, but do
- girls differentiate between
thriftiness and parsimony? Having
for three years denied myself the
simplest pleasures to gather together
a small stake to set myself up in busi-
ness, it is no small annoyance to me
to have an impudent f1apper express
frankly disappointed wonderment
that I have not flattered her with a
IS corsage. If you think girls of this
caliber are an exception, you are mis-
taken. If they have reaped the vaguest
financial lesson from this depression,
they certainly do not intend to let it
affect the quality of the luxuries they
expect from their man friends. There
is stinginesS, there is sensible econ
omy and there is wasting. A girl
might do better to marry man who
refuses to fling away what little he
has than to unite herself with a
wastrel wearing rose-colored glasses

PRUDENT.
AnSwer-Right you are. son. If you
think for minute am not an ad-
mirer and advocate of thrift, you have,
in the slang of the day, got me wrong.
I consider it not only one of the most
shining of all the virtues, but also
that it is the foundation stone on
which character and achievement are
built.
CHOW me a thriftless person and
I'll show you a neer -do-well who
never makes good at anything. A
parasite. A borrower and a beggar.
One who Is without intention dis
honest because in the end. when he has
spent all Of his money in riotious living,
those who saved must support him.
Nothing worth while in the world could
ever be done except for the thrifty
people who have done without the
things they wanted and saved until
they were able to launch big enter
prises.
But there is a great difference be-
tween stinginess and thrift Thrift

to spend StingineSs is doing without
everything you can possibly do with
