 Among a list of scientific achieve ments mentioned by popular mag azine writer is the softening of milk, as water is softened, to re- move some of its excess lime. The writer says Lime is more beneficial to the calf than to the human body" Please comment on this. c. A. B0
 Arlswer-A silly notion. Lime is the clement which is most likely to be deficient in the diet of civilized, urban dwellers, and milk and milk products are the very best source of lime, and there is no sound reason to imagine milk or its products ever contains too much lime for the re- quirements of the human infant, child or adult.

 From New England Mrs. w. J. w. writes:
 T don't know why house should not be made SO 8 woman can rest. read, work and plan in 1t. have just read your second article on Odd House and l am glad to find this subject discussed In a health column. The home environment, it seems to me, is either neglected or treated timidly by most health experts.
 T am having my dining room con- verted into a library. I am having wheels put on my dining table. l meet with difficulty in getting large colored maps. It is favorite indoor sport of mine following aviators around the world on the maps on my living room walls. My friends, at first dubious, are now scouting after handsomer maps than mine. Not all of them. Some women hate my house because it is not like the JoneseS.'
 q had the footboards cut off all the beds. They were in the way. Only reason they put footboards on beds nowadays is because that's the way the JoneSeS have always liked 'em. I have discarded 8 small wagonload of alleged ornaments accumulated in twenty years of breathless pursuit of the Jones tradition-everything but 8 bit of tapestry from India, thing that I treasure as memento.
 "But now I reach an impasse. I would like swing settee before the wide windows looking out across a not unpleasant vista of lawn and shrubbery. But my nineteen year old daughter firmly vetoes this idea and thinks 1t would be too ridiculously out of place.
 "Now please do not print anything about odd House to shake the con- fidence of staid young folk like my daughter in your teachings and ad- vice. I'd rather by far do without my silly swing than feel that my daugh- ter no longer believes in the man on whose teachings she was reared"
 End of letter.
 After all, colored maps on a wall are not displeasing to look at, indeed they fascinate many of us.
 If swing settee is appropriate for the patio or porch or lawn why not for the house? The correspondents daughter is amusingly slavish to what everybody" thinks or does. Fortunate for her that she has a modern mother. Success to her in her campaign. Why can't women strive for individuality in their home surroundings as they do in hats or gowns?

.2ARENTS--
 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

Should children learn to know the world as 1t fs, selfish, hard, and as often wicked, or continue in their complete faith in people?
 Many parents wonder just what to do about 1t, and 50 have I won- dered in the past.
 It is well to know life, and what to beware of. On the other hand, to be constantly suspicious, to lose confident trust and perhaps become infected with the sordid view is bad for the young mind.
 Yet children, parents admit, must have defense. They should know human nature and the pitt fall of evil to some extent, as life Is life and later they will have to rub shoulders with people as they are. They cannot be kept ignor- ant forever, and to learn only through personal experience too often costs a price.
 A Friend i'm Need
 have arrived, rather reluc- tantly I'll admit, at rather as- tonishing answer. I believe that movies have lifted much of our burden and solve d at least part of the problem.
 What child can look upon the shows of today and fail to grasp two facts, that there are good and not so good people in the world? That some are weak, others de- liberately vicious, and yet 8 large percentage kind and true. In the end virtue is victorious, of course, which is not always true in real life, but the example is good.
 Through hero or heroine wor- ship, children learn some of their most valuable lessons. They learn, too, that there is suffering and cruelty, and that the very best cannot always escape, or have it easy, regardless of their own worth.
 We wonder why our families are so worldly wise today, and are frequently shocked at the chil- dren'S naive remarks. Where did Betty learn that?" we ask with startled faces. Perhaps it was something we could never have dreamed of telling her our- selves. And we'd be right about 1t, too, because there is differ ence between hearing 8 stark truth and watching 1t tactfully acted in a well-chosen story.
 Crime Stories Are Poor Diet
 I do not approve of tiny chil- dren going to movies at all. For the younger ones, the show should be carefully selected. Again, there are some pictures that no growing child should see. As for crime shows, the way they are presented now (and you probably don't know how carefully judges re- gently have been less inclined to accept them as alibis in delin- quency cases. Yet too much crime portrayal Is 8 poor diet for boys in general.
 These things aside, still be- lieve the movies to be valuable in their way. Children are learn ing facts of life from seeing life, Indeed 1t relieves US, their par ents, of the heavy end of our problem, because not all mothers have courage or diplomacy enough to open young eyes to truth.
 The big thing is that children of all ages are absorbing lessons from pictures, learning that cheat ing doesn't pay, and so on. There are still some flaws. and may the movies continue to strive for still higher levels, but we have a lot to thank them for today.

 Mend your manners If you want to be invited againl Introduce the two men graciously. If the new conner doesn't say to your escort, Do you mind?" your escort, you say 1t. Then your escort waits with a smile instead of @ frown.
 Indeed you can't be too careful when you meet new crowd. Just the way you enter the supper room counts. Precede your escort if there's a headwaiter, follow him if there isn't. And it's up to you-not your escort-to say when to leave any party.

minutive cakes, lavender scented. Another features small egg-shap- ed cakes in a variety of odors.
 A huge bottle of bath oil, to keep by the tub so guests and members of the household alike can enjoy it without feeling that to use more than one drop Is de- cidedly wasteful, Is another sure- to be appreciated suggestion. You might consider 6 new bubble type which comes in two odors, pine and eau de cologne. Either of these, when poured in while the water is running at top speed will scent the bath and, at the same time, cause millions of tiny bubbles. The bubble bath Is be- coming ever so popular in smart salons, so there's every reason to believe that your hostess and her other guests would love to try one at home.
 Also acceptable are the new giant sachets. One of these takes the place of three or four little perfumed bags between lay- CTS of clothes in dresser draw CT. A famous manufacturer ties three, of quilted satin or flat crepe in various pastel colors, to- gether with Q ribbon and puts them in an attractive box.
 If you haven't much to spend, consider a good cologne in a rather plain bottle. There are de luxe varieties galore, of course, (and any hostess will love a hand some bottle to add to her collec- tion), but If these are too much for your budget, don't hesitate to take the less pretentious type. If she has several guest rooms, you might take three or four rather small flacons, then she can put one on each dresser.

Your Table Manners

EATING CORN ON THE COB
 The best way to make certain that the family will eat its corn-on- cob in the most approved manner IS to see that long ears of corn are broken in two before being sent to the table. Usually an ear no longer than four inches can be managed with one hand in an un- obtrusive way; and even if two hands are required to steady the ship, the effect is less barbarous when the ears are short.
