of woman magnifies her bridges Q thousand times.
 After all the years have passed and her children are still alive and well, she finds herself in broken health with as many lines caused by needless worry as If she had actually lost her dear ones. In imagination she has lost them over and over. HE si Talking to Q mother recently about her hysterical fears, and the harm to herself, she asked what was to be done. "You can't change the mother heart" she said. 1pl,
 No, but you can change tho mother rnind," I suggested. q, . By Q miracle" she commented. "No, By facing facts instead of trying to build lip wall against them. Death, the inborn fear of Us oil, jumps first to OUT minds. It lies behind all this worry and illness. Also dread oi pain and suffering for our precious ones.

 a' What It Takes r.
 She's going to list the things that the girl who is just beginning to have dates and who wants to have them often ought to know.
 It looks like c staggering list, but 1t isn't more than Q modern young girl can handle. And Mrs. Williams admitted at the start that the girl has to be smart.
 First on her list is, Be Q good dancer-or even better, on excellent dancer" That's sound advice, for the girl who can conquer 0 stag line has Q head start on her sisters who walk on mems toes. |
 Being interested In people is an absolute must" on the list because no girl can get by with talking about herself all the time.
 It's c good idea for girl to play popular sports passably well, but not an absolute necessity, like being good looking. And looks, Mrs. WN- Hams insists, are something c smart girl can have, whether nature smiled or frowned on her. g.
 Being able to drive Q car is on the list, and SO is the ability to cook e few tavorite dishes, or rather the favorite dishes of the boys she knows. .Hts
 SuperfluouS Advice .
 She thinks . girls popularity won't suffer for her saying No thank you" to the offer of Q drink if there's no hint of prudishneSs in her voice. And VIC agree.
 Tn fact wb were about to okay Mrs. Williams advice unconditions ally, but she finally came to "put- ting'--and her advice was oil about how to avoid "unwelcome kisses" Now any can girl handle that situa- ton. It's whom the kisses aren't un. welcome that she might be in need of advice. " @fF VI ', Copyright lesT, NEA Service, Incl

pars-The main characteristic which distinguishes the new intermediary gowns-those smart creations for concerts dining At home and In restaurants for movie rst-nigts and lIke occasions where for nal gowns are out Of place - is the presence of sleeves. These are either short above or below the elbow, or else frankly long. 3S /
 And again, fabric and color are factors to be con- sidered Long sleeves usually appear tn the more Sumptuous velvet or lame dresses, while black crepe fashions dresses with short sleeves the wite- ness of the arms relieving the scmberness of the rnousseine sleeves are introduced. ". .aG't...
 The sleeved evening gown s an offspring of the evening suit which until recently enjoyed such a ventonay tailored jacket is replaced by bolsros or capes, or by semi-htted jackets with revers em- broidered in pailIettes Jet beads gold thread motifs
 Most Designers Stress Bodice %
 Most of the interest of this category of evening dress is centered in the bodice ecklines are either high, or else high ct the back with deep sqare-cut or v-shaped fronts The bust is stressed with drap cries and the walstlines usually raised. lEts
 The skirt is just above or below ankle length sometimes shorter in front and cut on slim, modern lines, slightly fulness generally introduced very gradually from well below the hlpiine.
 The leading creators have interpreted the long, sleeved evening dress in Q variety of ways Maggy RouR shows one in handsome lame In Q new black and silver lace design cut princess lines with gen- erous square front decoilete and long, slim sleeves. new and amusing little velvet neckbad in bright vel- vet ribbon finiShed with shrred reSette and shrred velvet nun complete the picture
 Ardanse favors deep red velvet, in the shade which she calls Black Daha," also cut clingng princess lines. Rosevenne suggests black broche silk crepe for dress with the top stimulating tunic The edge ot this tunic and the high, enging collar are underlined with appliqued stysed leaves in gold kid. ,..t

A PASTE FOR DERMATITIs

Men and women employed in the printing and engraving trades, and their assistants who have to handle oils, solvents, alkalis and other irri- tai1ts in cleaning plates and remov- ing ink stains, often suffer from se- were dermatitiS (skin inflammation, eczema) which does not respond to the usual remedies, mainly because the irritation which causes the trouble continues as long aS the pa- tent remains at work. ""
 A good deal could be done in the way of prevention if such workers would trouble to prepare their skin at the beginning of work every day and again after washing up ct the close of the days work--by rubbing into the skin Q mixture of equal parts of lanolin and olive oil, to re- place the natural skin oil removed by the harsh chemicals or solvents or inks with which the skin of the hands and arms is more or less con-

Your Children
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Nothing grips emotional sym pathy as much as the illness of Q child. The smaller he is, the greater the tug ct our hearts. It always has been that wayv and probably always will be.
 Mothers get so nervous and ap- prehensive about even minor upsets, however, that they are likely to borrow trouble without reason. A little cough conjures up visions of pneumonia, c scratched hand spells infection. If the doctor says, T am sorry, Mrs. Smith. but this looks like measles" Mrs. Smith feels that the world has ceased. to turn. And these ere the things that wear mothers out unnecessarily. ''
