Manners
of the
Moment

WHEN your date offers you a pi.c.
OF chewing gum, We can't Sc.
why you have to 90 rigid and act as
though you had been insulted. OF
course, you probably have a sense Of
sin about chewing gum. You've been
told that 1t isn't ladylike TO MUNICH
II on the street. You may have
feeling. too, carried over from es-lv
Childhood, that any man who chevs
gum Is no gentleman.
But be reasonable. Some Of the
incest people have a secret yen for
gum. And when smart young man
gets to the point Of Offering a smart
young girl stick of his private stock
she should feel complimented. She
should feel that she has gotten into
his confidence.
She doesn't have to chew with him
if she doesn't really like it. But II
she does like it she should grasp this
eagerly as her chance. And she can
make him feel it's all very special
concession. With you, yes" she
could say, I'll chew gum But you're
the first" Just think how romance
could blossom under that start.
OF course. if you don't want any
romance to blossom in this particular
spot. you'll be stiff and make nasty
remarks about chewing gum on the
street. But maybe that's as 1t should
be. JEAN.

make you feel that he isn't dealing
fairly with you on the money question
though the fifty-ffty joint check
ing arrangement Is generally con-
sidered to be an equitable way Of
settling the money problem between
husbands and wives.
Under such circumstances, when
your mother is always fault finding

your husband naturally resents it, 1t
will be disastrous for you to have her

the best arrangement you can make
IS just to make her a monthly allow

If she has $40 month from rent,
it would require only a modest sum
from you and your brother to make
her comfortable. She will be far
better of among strangers than she
will be with either OF you children
because she will have to control her
self when with others.

Lotions a
Boon for
Summer
Use Liquid Cleanser
Before Application
of Fresh Makeup.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

BECAUSE the skin exudes more
oil and moisture during the Sum-
mer than at any other time Of the
year, and because the skin, like the
body, benefits by change in diet, it
is a good plan to change to lotions
for Summer loveliness.
Unless your skin is very dry and
fragile. easily chapped or irritated
you will find liquid cleanser very
effective to remove residue, CRIME,
dust, oil and old makeup. Continue
to use your liquefying or cream
cleanser at night before retiring for
very thorough cleansing. But

to disappear into the rest room look

looking positively reborn. A quick

and the application of new makeup
does the trick.
Another lovely lotion Is skin tonic

and then your makeup. You should
look and feel fresh as the proverbia,

During the Summer, unless the
skin is dry, the tonic may be made
to serve as a makeup base. Blend
rouge directly over the skin while
it is the least bit damp. Then blot

obvious.
= = =
A MOTHER good idea is to make it
known to your friends that, II
they are going to descend on you with
out notice they must bring some food
with them. City dwellers should re-
member that hostesses in the country
need to know the number Of guests
they may expect no later than Friday
afternoon. That gives them time to
do all their planning and ordering
from the village store on Saturday
morning-after that, getting extra
food becomes pretty difficult. So the
unexpected guest will be far more
welcome if he or she brings contri-
button to the feast. Cold soup in a
thermos, if it is speciality OF the
guests household; variety of cheeses
a dozen oranges or lemons you'd be
surprised how those disappear in
thirsty crowd: perhaps dozen eggs;
cooked meat of some kind; a cake, or
a tin Of cookies|or even large cool
watermelon!
This may sound mercenary and in
hospitable on the part Of the hostess,
but 1t really isn't 1t is matter Of
| cold facts-so many mouths to feed,
so many portions of food. No way to
get any more And when there are
more mouths than there are portions
then somebody has poor time!
The easiest way of serving Sunday
| meals in the country is buffet fashion,
with the table set ON screened porch,
and the guests serving themselves be-
fore settling in congenial groups in
| cool corners. People coming from the
hot city appreciate to the utmost the
feeling of being out of doors, and in
gentle breezes-they will consider the
al fresco meal far more OF a party than
one served formally indoors. AS a
matter Of fact, the less formalty the
better, and outside Of having the able
set and the dishes washed by q maid,
the guests prefer to do their own work
in this instance. A clever hostess will
assign certain guests to certain jobs

ington University Law School, In his
research on current adoption practices.
II was shocked" said he, Ito discover
that attending physicians and mid
wives were not required to report the
names of either illegitimate children or
their mothers. That seemed to me un-
necessarily cruel. What right had we
to shut that door and forbid all future
disclosures? The proposed compulsory
Investigations will result in ascertain
ing such facts All records and papers
in adoption proceedings will be sealed,
however, upon entry of the final decree
and only court order can open them
for inspection. This safeguards the
interests OF all concerned"
7 ACK of space forbids mention Of
various other interesting phases
of this most timely topic. The last
issue Of Readers Digest carries resu-
me of difficulties that beset the path
OF those who wish to adopt children.
The Children's Bureau OF the United
States Department OF Labor has made
a study of adoption procedure during
the past year, particularly in those
States where they have the type Of
investigation suggested for the District.
A representative of the bureau stated
at the hearing that % Of rs States
studied require the investigation.
Three more authorize, but do not
compel it. In II OF the % States, the
Department OF Public Welfare is made
responsible for carrying out the pro-
gram. Twenty States provide for a
residence period before final adoption.
OF this number. II have six-month
term, one specifies year and seven
say IAN interlocutory period" While
IL States require the records to be
kept confidential, only New York re-
quires them to be sealed They are to
be opened only to parties interested
and by order Of the court.
And so the record runs. Needless to
say, skies will be much roster for
District children if the proposed adop-
ton bill is enacted into law.

They just kept interrupting each

II guess it was an interruption

terrupting anybody again as long as I
live Believe me, Ill wait for my
turn"
Robert had made an overnight visit
to his school friends home, and the
noisy group had rather shocked him.
In his home 1nterruptinz anybody
while he was talking or working or
otherwise engaged was considered bad
manners. In DonAlds family It was
the rule. They never waited for any
body TO hnish his sentence; they start
ed new topics Of conversation regard
less.
There are plenty OF such people
They do not seem 10 realise any
body else wants to speak. or wants
to be quiet. or wants to do his work
uninterrupted. They drop into the
house Unexpectedly, any hour They
call on the telephone whenever the
spirit moves them, and that seems
to be at the oldest hours. They keep
right On talking in high tones. over the
voice Of the first speaker. They hold
the floor by going an octave higher
and using the bellows vigorously. They
are professional interrupters. and they
have their reward in the common ex-
ecration Of their acquaintances.
Children should be trained to avoid
this, and the best training is q good
example. Let the child speak to the
end Of his story. If he tries to hold
the center Of the stage beyond a rea-
sonable time, lift your hand in signal
for the flnsh. Then let the next one
speak in his turn. But let no child
interrupt another when he Is talking
nor speak at the same time. It simply
is not done.
People are not to be interrupted in
their routine whether Of work OF
play. Ask permission before turning
on the radio. Knock gently at the
door Of the room in which some one
Is working. II you must intrude upon

calls unless you are expected, not
even on your grand aunt. She might
prefer the quiet Of her home to the

self to their wishes and you will as

can be put through and the frequent
lack Of proper investigation of pros
pective parents. The new measure
meets both objections. 1t provides,
too, for the examination Of the child,
thus saving foster parents many
future heartache.
First, -tsae Board of Public Welfare
shall determine both the childs fitness
for adoption-physical and mental
and whether the prospective parents
home is suitable for him. If quail
ned social agency has made an in
vestigation, the board shall accept
that instead Of making one themselves.
Findings and recommendations in the
case must be reported to the United
States District Court within so days.
This is an excellent proviso in that it
forestalls useless delay and undue
haste.
A SECOND notable provision of the
"A bill is that the child must live in
the adoptor's home for six months
before a final decree of adoption can
be issued. Public welfare workers are
to make as many visits as seem advis-
able during that time. Authorities feel
that a trial period, in addition to show
ing whether child is suited to his new
surroundings, may bring out factors
that no investigation could. however
thorough. They cite the case of the
wife who became insanely jealous of
the youngster taken into the home
No one could have foreseen that un-
happy ending.
These, then, are the primary clauses
OF the proposed act But there are
other laudable features. Two deserve
special mention. The consent of
minor to his childs adoption must be
obtained, just the same as that Of any
other parent. The consent of an
Nlegitimate child's father is not
necessary unless he has both acknowl-
edged his offspring and contributed
willingly TO its support.
