Making the Best of Adversitv
Is One Way to Happiness.

A MOTHER writes: II want my
N child to be happy. Is there
~ anything that I can teach
a him that will help him to at

piness isn't matter of luck as so
many think 1t is. 1t consists in our
attitude toward life and the spirit
with which we meet the vicissitudes
OF fate. No love, nor money, nor
power can secure perpetual sunshine
to a child, but we can teach him how
to enjoy rainy day and get whale
Of kick out Of fighting storm.
If I were going to teach a child
how to be happy, I'd begin by teach
ing him to take life on the chin and
to come up smiling after every knock
out would never let him whine or
complain when things went wrong,
or pity himself because he didn't have
what some other lad had, or couldn't
do the things richer boys did. I'd
keep the spotlight turned on his own
blessings until I made him contended
with his lot.

him in the cradle to getting pleasure
out of the use Of his hands and his
mind by doing constructive labor
building block houses, making sand
castles, etc. And I'd praise each
achievement extravagantly so that he

Teeth Need
.Check~Up
In Fall
Beauty and Health
Demand Dental
Perfection.
BY ELSIE PIERCE,

I THINK the Fall is as good a time
as any for complete check-up
and health and beauty overhauling,
so to speak. During the Summer va
are apt to get bit careless or negli-
gent. The Fall is the bridge between
seasons, a bridge that should take us
beautifully into the social calendar.
Certainly it should be the season
for the twice-yearly visit TO the dem
tist. He may discover the beginning
of a little cavity which properly tend
ed and filed will avoid fare-up later
on. Or. perhaps there's the first faint
sign of gum trouble. A few treatments
will war" off developments. If there
are tartar deposits they can easily be
scraped away. and if your teeth need
nothing more than pumice brush
ing and polishing the moral build up
that gives you is more than worth
the visit
Personally the thing that makes me
feel that the visit is amply repaid
more than anything else is the ver-
dict, perfect =. nothing to do" I've
had the dentist tell me Just that on
a few occasions and it made me feel
all pulled up and elated that I had
Kept my teeth free from decay.
Remember that decay does doubls
damage. Not only does it threaten
the tooth enamel and the health of
the gums. but in addition 1t NAV be
the direct or indirect cause of bad
breath. No well-bred man or. woman
wishes to offend. But very often one
does without meaning to. without
knowing it. l don't say that single
visit to the dentist will cure bad
| breath for all time. But If the dem
tist finds your teeth and gums in very
! good condition, then twice or three
times-daily brushing. plus the use of
a mouth wash should be all the pre-
cautions necessary.
| Speaking of brushing, one of the
newest, incest wrinkles I've seen of late
is tooth brush travel kit. Small,
cleverly designed for efficiency and at
tractiveness, it is delight to the trav-
eler. It's container only three and
a half inches long, available in maize.

the gums as well, because it's made by

Manners
of the
Moment

YOU don't want to take a weekend
hostess too seriously when she
says, "Oh, don't go yet Why don't
you stay over until tomorrow
morning."
1t may be passing gesture of hos
pitality that peters out when the cock
tails do. Or it may be just hostess
patter. But, in any case, don't be
seduced by it. For two reasons: First,
going back in the morning may sound
very well the night before, but it's ter
rible in the morning; second, it adds
an extra breakfast, as we'll as an extra
evening to your hostess work. week.
The thing to do is to pick your
return train before you leave town on
Saturday. Then. come fire, come
water, stick to that train. When
your train time approaches slip
quietly up to your room, put on your
going g-to-town outfit, and close your
weekend bag. Then come back, say
ing that it's time for you to go. Your
hostess may protest, vociferously. But
she'll love you for looking so definitely
packed. JEAN.

grape is only fair source of this
mineral it is well to use the skins
whenever possible
"EOLLOWING is a recipe for con-
serve IN which special precau-
tions are taken to keep the skin from
becoming tough from overlooking.
GRAPE CONSERVE.
Wash and drain slip-skin grapes
such as Concord. Remove grapes from
stems. To four pounds of the pre-
pared grapes allow two pounds of
sugar. one cup of seedless raisins. one
orange, one cup of nut meats and one
teaspoon of salt
Slip the skins from the grapes and
Keep them separate from the pulp
Peel the orange and discard the seeds,
Chop the orange pulp and peel fine,
Also chop the nuts fine.
Boil the grape pulp, stirring con-
stantly, for about 10 minutes, or until
the seeds show. Press through a
sieve to remove the seeds. To the
grape pulp add the sugar, the raisins
the orange and the salt. Boil rapidly
stirring to prevent scorching. until
the mixture begins to thicken. Add
the grape skins and boil for lC
minutes longer, or until somewhat
thick. Stir in chopped nuts, pour
at once into hot sterilized jelly glasses
or glass iarc ond
Every good cook has in her rep
ertoire at least one recipe for grape
jelly. She knows that slightly under
ripe grapes have the acid and pectin
content essential to good Jelly. But
sometimes, in spite of her skill and
experience. she. gets gritty crystal
line formation in her jelly.
These cream of tartar CRYSTALS
which form in the juice of cultivated
grapes. are harmless, but they detract
from the appearance and quality OF
the jelly. The simplest way Of elm
mating them is to allow the juice
to stand overnight. Then the next
day the juice may be siphoned off OF
strained from the crystals and the
sediment, and made into jelly.
AN appealingly different way to
make use OF Concord grapes in season
is to put them in a tapioca pudding
Following is the recipe.
GRAPE TAPIOCA PUDDING.
quart stemmed Concord grapes.
l cup water.
! cup sugar.
u cup quick-cooking tapioca.
a teaspoon salt.
! tablespoon lemon juice.
Cook the grapes and water for
about five minutes and press through
a sieve to remove the skins and
seeds. Add the sugar, tapioca and salt
to the grape juice and pulp and cook
for 25 minutes in a double boiler.
Add the lemon Juice and let the
pudding stand until cold. Serve with
top milk or cream"

Answering

Queries
BY EMILY POST.


DEAR MRS POST: Would Il at
least be permissible at q very
simple home wedding for the brides
mother to play the wedding march?
don't see where we are going to get
music If the answer to this is no.
Answer-There is no rule against
what you suggest; the only possible
objection would be the chance that
the mother might not see her daughter
when she comes up the aisle. On the
other hand, this would depend on
where the organ is placed. so that
even this objection may not exist. In
any case, she could, of course, leave
her place at the organ and stand
near her daughter during the cere-
mony.
DEAR MRS. POST: My fiancee
thinks that my name appearing
on the wedding announcements should
be written out in full. Now, Mrs. Post,
1 have never used my middle name
except as represented by its initial,
and / have always disliked it so in
tensely that you can understand. I'm
sure, why this is the one place would
not like to see it printed. However,
I say mo" and my fiancee says
yes" and for the moment the argu-
ment Is at standstill. One of these
days the announcements will have
to be ordered and by then I hope to
have your answer to back up one of us.
Answer-If there is one thing that
really belongs to you, it seems to me
it is your name, and it is your right
to use full name or initial as you
choose. Or you could perfectly veil
OMIT the initial if you want to.

60 I should teach my child to love
nature and to find never-ending
delight in the miracle of sunrise and
sunset, to thrill to the beauty of the
moon making a silver pathway across
the sea and the glory of an Autumn
forest. I should teach him not to COB
BILE his food like q dumb animal but
to SAVIOR every delicate nuance of good
cooking and find daily pleasure in
his dinner. I should teach him how
to make friends, so that he might al
ways have about him those who loved
him and who gave him interesting and
Stimulating companionshio.
should teach him to read. In do
ing that would give him temple
OF refuge to which to flee when sor-
rows and troubles and anxieties beset
him. That would save him from lone
illness and boredom. No man who
loves to read can ever be unhappy be-
cause he can find in books whatever
he desires-companion for his
loneliness, an opiate for his worries.
Teach boy to love to read and you
have given him pleasure that never
pals, but that will grow keener as
the years go by, and that will be the
prop and stay through sickness and
health, age and infirmity.
l should try to teach my child
some philosophy to live by. 1 should
try to teach him not to expect too
much of life and not to believe that
he was the single human being in the
world who would escape the sings
and arrows of outrageous fortune. 7
would teach him that he must take
the good with the bad and find in the
bad some wisdom that enlightened
him, or some humor at which he could
laugh.
l would try to teach him to be
neither unduly elated by prosperity
nor cast down by misfortune, for both
pass. And if nothing is as good as
we think it is going to be, neither is
anything as bad as we feared. And I
would teach him the joy of battle and
the exultation that comes in winning
out when the odds are all against you.
I would teach my child, above all,
that happiness is to be found in un-
selflshness and that it is only when
we give Joy to others that we get it
back for ourselves. OF course, no one
can show another the road to happi-
ness, but perhaps these few little sign
boards along the way might help my
child to find it.

these cold quartz ultraviolet rays is
carefully watched to allow only q
sufficient amount of it; it is COM
bined with tonics and massage into
treatment that is at once exhilarat-
ing to the whole body and most help
full to the scalp and hair.
Another shop noted for its scalp
treatments in principal cities both
here and abroad is doing a rushing
business these days, particularly in
the late hours of the afternoon when
business women, and men, too, come
in for special hair treatments.
This shop extols the virtues of
hair care without too frequent sham
poos and gives a treatment which
takes all the dust accumulation from
the hair and scalp, leaving them
clean as a whistle. These treatments,
taken once week for time, will re-
condition the hair before the cold
weather starts and We are again con-
fronted with the disadvantages of
overheated rooms and wearing tight
felt hats for too many hours at a
time.
Here you may secure a splendid hot
oil treatment when you need it, and
also pine-scented soapless oil
shampoo, which may be purchased
and used at home if desired. In fact,
any of the reconditioning treatments
mentioned above should be supple
mented with some personal attention
to the scalp each night at home to
hasten the desired results. Even five
minutes Of finger-tip message with
the head bent forward so that the
blood flows into it more easily, will
help tremendously.

IF THE Summer has faded the hail
in streaks, and If it is just beginning
to lose its color, you may wish to give
it more life with a color rinse or q
more permanent type of tinting. These
processes include the simple vegetable
coloring that may be added to the last
rinsing water. the popular and much
used vegetable and oil tinting treat
ment that lasts for a month or six
weeks, and the henna and other dyes
which permanently color the hair but
are expensive to keep up and neeo
constant attention at the roots, where
the new growth appears SO quickly
Furthermore, permanent dyes are APT
to take the natural luster and sheer
from the hair after continued use anc
have tendency to make it brittle
However. all OF these processes have
been developed to such an extent that
when intelligently applied, they may
be counted on to produce a pleasing
appearance.
We caution against the use of color
skill to apply them properly, and much
experience is necessary to secure the
right blending of colors with the gray
so that the effect will be as natural
as possible. Operators in the beauty
shops receive special training before
they are allowed to use dyes of any
sort.
After you have taken time out fol
getting your hair and scalp in the

slider having a permanent wave and q
new hair do" and feel like an en-
tirely different person. The hair will
lend itself more easily to the wiles ol
the stylist, and you may have a coif-
fure like the one shown above, with
the hair combed high on the head ano
soft ringlets pinned in place. The
natural looking curls at the nape Of
the neck serve as becoming frame
for the general attractiveness o. the
arrangements.
