child is more able to resist possible
infection and nervous ailments than
one who has insufficient sleep.
1t is wise to have your child checked
physically at the beginning of the
school year. whether he attends a pri-
vate or a public school. He should be
inoculated against the dread disease,
diptheria. His eyes should be exam
ined. and also his hearing should be
tested. Many youngsters go through
their school days at the bottom of
their classes only because their eye

as means toward stopping spread of
infections. Insist on frequent hand
washing-and discourage any little
tricks that tend to put fingers in the

Manners
of the
Moment

THERE'S something pretty mean
about the old shoes and white
wash game after wedding ceremony.
1t must have been a disappointed
lover with revenge in his heart who
thought it up. There's nothing like a
Just Married" sign on the back of
car to start a honeymoon off wrong.
And just get piece of rice down the
bridegroom's neck as he is stepping
on the starter and something is GO
ing to snap. He'll probably climb bel
ligerently out of the car and offer to
fight all the wedding guests at once.
It's not only hard on the bridegroom,
but terrible on the bride. She's been
through so much by then.
Personally We think the whole busi-
ness Of pestering the bride and BRIDE
groom just before they leave should be
skipped. We don't think any one
would mind. We're even against the
bride and bridegroom sneaking down
the back steps to get away. We can't
see why they shouldn't be allowed TO 90
out the front door like a civilized
pair, and why the wedding guests
shouldn't say good by y-have-a-g good
time like civilized friends. Let tn.
rice throwers and the old-shoe fiends
sit on the back steps Or lock them
in the pantry. But for goodness sake
give the bride and bridegroom
chance, at least, of taking one ride
together without a fight. JEAN.

The young people of today are ma

There are too many things against
it for it ever to succeed The girl is
uneducated You are. So there would
be no congeniality between you. No

be ashamed of her and nothing kills
love quicker than that. You are filed
with race prejudice against her peo-
pie. You look down upon her family.

blood and heredity make her. She

she was brought up and they would

DEAR DOROTHY DIX am a

sionslly I ask woman friends to ac-
company me to dinner and to the
theater. One of them who is single
and 20 years old refuses to accent
my invitations on the ground that
she has no right to let married
man spend his money on her. The
relationship between us-is purely pla-
tonic. Has she any legitimate basis
for refusing to accompany me to a
restaurant or to the theater provided
she desires to do so?

Of ethics as it is of propriety. The

are not divorced you are the prop

Etiquette
Problems
Of Child
Grandmothers Often
Called by Baby Talk
Pet Names.
BY EMILY POST.
DEAR MRS. POST: Do you remem.

DEAR MRS. POST: Do you remem-
Der that several weeks ago you
answered young woman who was
disturbed at the thought of a new
step -grandchild calling her grand
ma? Particularly, do you remember
that you said if she didn't like any of
the synonyms of grandmother she
would not be in the least unusual if
she let him call her by her first name
'as plenty of real grandmothers do
This last part of your answer has sur
prlsed me not a little. In the first
place, l did not think that you ap-
proved of children calling their
mothers by first names, so you can
imagine my shock when you went so
far as to suggest your approval of
first names for grandmothers. I N.Y.
self have never heard of a grand
mother called by her first name even
by grown grandchildren, and 1 am
wondering if you ever have and if
your answer was not either a mis-
print or written unthinkingly?
Answer am sorry about that
answer because I evidently gave the
impression of approving, whereas /
happen to be almost violent IN my
dislike of hearing young people call
older people by their first names. 1t
is, however, quite true that 1 have
known a number of grandmothers, not
only lately but going back over many
years. who were (or are) called baby
talk first names by little grandchil-
dren. This generally, though not
always, ends when the child speaks
plainly. or else remains baby-talk
pet name, such as Gaga for Grace.
Caky for Catherine, Doda for Dora.
etc.
nEAR MRS. POST: What do you
think of the habit neighbors have
OF paying children for every little
favor the child does for them? 1
think that these are kindnesses which
children ought to learn to give gra-
ciously and not with the expectation
of compensation. Do you agree?
Answer-This is one of those "it
all depends" answers. In one case
there is the child who easily becomes
nuisance, continually pestering people
to let him do perfectly useless things
for the sake of the money he hopes
to get. In the other case, a child
might perform an excellent service
for which payment is not only fair
but developing to initiative and self
respect To illustrate, a small boy
might bring you the newspaper or the
mail regularly for so much a week,
and he would be earning that money
exactly as his father earns his salary.
On the other hand, the boys in all
cities who rush to get in the way of
any one who halls a taxi or tries to
alight from one really belong in the
category Of beggers. A well-bred
child should be taught to refuse
money for an occasional favor which
a neighbor asks of him. To this there
are, of course, exceptions which de-
pend upon the spirit in which the
gratuity is given and accepted.

not have to be taken such care of.
Socks instead of stockings, and no
hats, will also help the "breaking-in"
period along
Don't when you buy their Winter
outfits. forget that children like to be
sheep in the matter of clothes. ANY,
thing different makes them feel too
conspicuous and self conscious. They
want just the same kind of dress, or
shirt, or sweater that all the others
wear; it is better, unless it is too hor-
rible, to- let them have their way in
the matter. They'll be lots happier
and, fundamentally, so will you!
Consult your doctor about the ad-
visibility of giving the children cod
liver oil, or some similar builder
upper" as soon as the really cold
weather begins. Do your best to plan
for some extra outdoor time, so that
health may be snatched from the pale
Winter sunlight.
DON'T let them play in the streets
and impress them with the dam
gers of traffic. This is especially i'm
portant after a Summer in the country
or at the seashore, for they are apt to
have become careless with no cars to
look out for. They must use caution
going to and from school, and they
must obey all the traffic regulations.
Look your child over with an eagle
eye before ne leaves for school eacn
morning. Many mothers look at their
children and don't really see them. If
you find the slightest indication of a
cold. of fever, of WEAKNESS from no
apparent cause-put your child to bed,
take his temperature and let him stav
at home for an hour or SO, to see if
anything develops before letting him
mingle with his fellows If this rule
were rigidly followed, there would be
far less sickness among school chill
dren. The mother who let's her child
go to school with the beginning of an
illness concealed about his person is
the one who starts all the trouble. A
little intelligent observation and con-
trol would do much toward solving the
entire problem!
Next week we shall publish sugges-
tions for lunches for the school child,
with the hope that they will aid in re-
tanning the Summers quota of health
and energy.
