 Your Children
By Olive Roberts BartOs

Many schools, nowadays, have spaces on report cards, marked personal appearance" and the figure is averaged in with other marks at the end of the month.
 A teacher explained that this was not meant to be too hard on the children, but had been resorted to In an effort to encourage them to come with clean hands, faces, necks and ears, as well as scrubbed knees. Also 1t makes clean handkerchiefs mandatory.
 As I write a handkerchief ar. ticle every fall at cold-in-the-head time. this delighted me. Parents MEAN to tuck a fresh hanky in small pockets each morning, and children MEAN to use them, but how easy 1t is to forget. So now, ladies and gentlemen, we are going to be marked for 1t. Either plus or minus.
 Tabu Borrowed Kerchief
 In this day and age, with small handkerchiefs so cheap, and pa- per tissues that cost next to noth- ing. there really is no need for youngsters to sniffle, or when the worst comes to the worst, to bor- row "mouchoir' from Susy Jones or Bill Smith. The lenders may have terrific colds them selves. which will most certainly be passed on to the lendees. Chil- drer should be warned never, never to ask another child for his ker- chief.
 Well, enough about all this mat ter of sanitation. Every mother today knows 1t anyway.
 Let us move now to higher graoes, where the trouble is not pocket handkerchiefs, but socks.
 When boys are in knickers, they manage to keep their stockings where they belong. But once they slide Into their first pair of long pants, they suddenly go through some sort of confirmation that gives them the divine right to telescope their socks around their ankles ana allow them to scoop up the dust on the floor.
 They only do 1t because the other fellows do 1t but at some time and at some place, there will have to DC an end.
 Mothers Not to Blame
 No one expects these hardy, husky student princes to be too dudish. That has gone, alas, the way of all formality. But people get very tired and weary looking at lads with their collars open, old smelly sweaters and socks Ike bent accordions. Mothers try to keep these offspring clean and laundered, I happen to know, ana 1t is no reflection on them when their sons go out looking as though they had slept in the dump pile.
 Such things 90 by localities largely. I can put my finger on one school where such @ state of affairs is not permitted for @ sec- ond. Not 8 mile away is another school where the boys that step out at four o'clock are a sight 10 behold.
 If all schools kept up the practice of marking on personal appearance until graduation, 1t might be Q good plan. Mothers would thank them' and SO would I. Copyright, 1887, NEA Service, Incl

 If you are going to spend your winter vacation ia G spot far rom beauty salons. you might learn to arrange a coiffure which makes use of curls instead of waves. Try q topknot of ringlets or little rolls at the front and ringlet ends, of course Or make ringlets all over your head then brush hair upward all the way around, pinning the curled ends to- gether on top.
 Remember, of course, how impor- tant 1t is to brush your hair each and every night. Brushing keeps the scalp free from fiecks of dry cuticle, gives the hair a glossy sheen, length ems the life of waves and curls.
