such thing as a workable psychology

THE blanket of white enveloping the
l. city during the holidays gave new
impetus to the menu planner-trlps
to market and store were spurred by
ouickened appetites and the demand
for good, wholesome foodl Steaming
hot broths, soups and rich stews Will
be appearing on the menus in good
measure. Philadelphia pepper pot
should have special appeal--ard
Brunswick stew-that grand one-dish
meal, should become increasingly
popular!
THE stalls at the markets continue
l. to meet the demand of the most
discriminating, and We wager that
any item appearing on the market list
may be deftly crossed out as the orders
are placed, while the rounds are made.
Vegetables, we find, are coming from
the South and West and even from
Cuba. Those dainty baby limas that
look so fresh and tender come all the
way from Cuba; cucumbers, too, come
from the tropical island. New cab
bage, nice, tender, firm, green heads,
is coming in large lots from Florida,
as is the royal purple eggplant and
white and yellow squash, which. by the
way, is exceptionally fine this week.
Deep red tomatoes, hothouse and gar
den, are extra tasty just now-delight-
fully meaty and firm. Broccoli and
caulifower from California are COM
ing in large, good shipments. Tiny
tender turnips from nearby crops are
plentiful now, and they are very rea-
sonable; in fact, are among this weeks
best buys.
DEF and pork stay about the same.
~ Lamb went up a few cents this
last week, but seems to have dropped
again the last few days. The market
is abundantly supplied with large
shipments of turkeys, geese and Long
Island duck. A number Of shoats were
seen, too, and there's good idea for
the gala Midwinter dinner party piece

and uncooked, continues to move rap
idly, proving that this is the best sea-
son for this delectable meat. Large.
meaty pig knuckles were seen at o

turned to the old Dutch combination,

cold Winter evening! Knackwurst is

grapefruit, are at their prime now.
Bartlett pears from Washington State
appear to be delicious. Persimmons.
too, from California are unusually fine.
Cranberries gathered from New Jersey
fields seem to be larger than ever.
Aside from the traditional cranberry
jelly, do use them in pies and tarts-
and don't forget that cranberry juice
is excellent! Grapes, Malaga and
white seedless, are being received in
beautiful lots and are somewhat

That was only one piece, one little
piece. want a chocolate bar" After
arguing back and forth for a few
minutes the nickel was forthcoming
with a protest. You get too much
candy. Now remember, this is the
last you get this week"
That does not hold. A child reared
IN this fashion will return just as
soon as the taste for sweets begins
to make itself felt and ask for an
other nickel.
Children ought to have a daily
ration of candy, or some sweet that
will please them equally well. They
need sugar; must have it, in their
diet. They use a great deal of it in
active play. The more they work,
the more energy they use, the more
they will require. Some sugar is
essential.
Children have no sense of propor-
ton. They like the candy and want
more. They will keep on eating 1t
until they are too sick to eat anything.
Excess sugar is very bad for little
children. There must be happy
medium between starvation and ex-
cess, and the best way to achieve
it is to ration the candy.
Serve it habitually as a dessert.
Allow what seems to be the satiSfac-
tory amount, remembering that they
will get some after lunch and again
after dinner. Don't give them a lot
at one time and none at another.
That is what starts the craving that
ends in excess.
When children pilfer to get money
for candy there is usually an i'm
balance in the child's diet, or in his
nutritional or digestive functions. If
a child has been served his daily
ration Of candy and he pliers to get
more, take him to somebody who
understand about nutrition.
1t is q mistake to give candy as
o reward and to withhold it as a
punishment. This at once promotes
candy far beyond its normal place.
It exaggerates the value of candy in
the child's eyes. Whatever makes
candy seem a high treat makes it
desirable beyond its real worth. Serve
1t as you serve a helping of potatoes
or spinach. Put no more value upon
it. Take it as a matter Of course
and the children are more likely to
do so.
There always will be children who
want candy in excess. Sometimes
they are merely greedy. Sometimes
they are suffering from disease that
expresses itself in this craving. To
be on the safe side take the con-
firmed candy eater to the children's
specialist.
Give children plenty Of fresh fruit,
some honey, some preserved fruit, in
their diet. Serve them cakes with
attractive icings. These satisfy the
craving for sugar in healthy fashion.
Keep good candy on hand and serve
1t at dessert time. Candy is food and
must be rationed like any other kind.

IF RESORT clothes seem unusually
colorful, you will find the acces-
sories of handbags, gloves and
Il shoes equally devoted to the ex-
travagant use of tropical hues. Shoes
for the Southland are no longer just
white shoes with brown or black
stripping here and there; they have
definitely gone in for color in a big
way and are different from anything
we have seen before.
Take for example the shoe at the
top Of the sketch with its slashed
tongue in brilliant parrot colors on
the exceptionally well-designed T.
strap sandal which combines suede
and kid. Bright green is the top
layer of color, and beneath it are
orange, bright blue and red. When
you tire of the colors, the tongue
may be removed and you still have
a wonderfully smart white shoe.
The center shoe is the one to wear
with the tailored suit. It is of nat
ural colored herringbone linen with
trim Of brown kid and a wide instep
strap of the fabric with bronze
buckle.
THE shoe sketched at bottom is one
of outstanding interest and COM
bines pastel-tinted fabric with dark
toned lizard in a new and fascinat-
ing way. Imagine this shoe in pastel
pink with dubonnet lizard, worn with
a pink crepe frock, sporting, perhaps,
"a dubonnet scarf and other acces-
sories.
And have you seen the adorable
new colored doeskin gloves for South
ern wear? There is delicate pink
that would just match the shoes.
These gloves come in two styles, one
a gauntlet, the other a wrist length
pull-on with corded finish and open
v on the top of the hand. They
come in Chinese red, French blue,
bright green, violet. purple and
beige at $1.98.
The green ones would look we'll

stunning for the all-white frock or
suit.
WE HEAR that patent leather Is
w due for a lot of attention, and
will be used extensively in colors
as well as black and white for shoes
and handbags. We have found it
here in toeless sandal with open
quarter, or heel, in such colors as
yellow, bright blue, dubonnet, green;
always with tiny piping of con-
trast, either white or black. This is
very smart shoe at $S.75 and is also
shown in white buck and black patent.
The craze for bright-colored shoes is
further expressed in sandals that use
alternate stripping Of all colors. These
are good to wear with the plain nat
ural linen frocks that need color in
their accessories. They are also good
with any Of the plain dark linens.
In ONE shop we found an exclusive
model in q new walking shoe OF
suede laced with leather in sort of
moccasin design through the sides
and on the toe. This produces very
interesting new effect and it is shown
in green, dark blue, dubonnet. brown
and black at $3.50. The same shop
has beach sandal with flying fishes
1t is of Chinese red linen and the gay
af ReIo ie ~, whit = hItta
1t is a heelless and toeless model and
not to be overlooked in any group.
We have heard about the sym
phony" shoe, which is an evening SAN
dal Of white suede with bars of music
and musical notes in silver and gold
kidskin on the vamp. but this has not
yet come to town. We have, however,
found an ultra-smart evening sandal
for wear either North or South that is
clever and ingenious. It Is a rather
fiat sandal with gold kid heel and a
broad band across the toes of alternat-
ing vertical strips of gold kid and
white satin, each with a pointed end.
The tip Of the toe Is open and gold
strapping holds the sandal in place.
You have to see this shoe to appreciate
its full beauty.
Black silk crepe with insets Of gold
mesh is good for Southern evenings,
and another very charming sandal is a
combination Of gold and silver kid.
The heel and wide instep strap are of
silver and the quarters and open toes
of pale gold. A large oval buckle Of
rhinestones on the strap adds further
elegance to this sophisticated model.

They loved 'em and fed 'em, spanked

them to fear God and wash behind

misfortune that has ever befallen the

smother it in affection. Even a baby
can get fed up on too much devotion
