Answer-Well, Lottie, inasmuch as
you don't know whether you love your
husband better than the boy friend or
vice versa, or whether you had better
wait for the mythical lover who is
coming your way out OF the future,
my advice to you is to stay put until
your emotions jell and acquire little
more consistency
VOU see what ails you is just being
II. At that time girls heart is
only a little flutter mill that any
breath of love can start going. But
1t doesn't last. 1t stops just as sud-
denly as it started. And she wonders
why and hasn't the least idea what
it Is all about. At your age every girl

MakingLaws
Or r ule S
For Child
Teachers Embarrass
Themselves If Not
r. Careful.
BY ANGELO PATRI.


MAKING rules or laws for human
conduct Is very dangerous
thing. I have distinct dread of going
beyond the Ten Commandments.
Somehow feel safe about them. They
cane,doyp from the smosntain in the
voice Of ODD, Ind for many centuries
people have found them to be just and
right in their control Of life's varied
activities, spiritual and temporal
alike
When parents and teachers try to
make rules they are certain to discover
that they have woven net for them
selves There are no two children
alike, consequently no two perform
ances can be alike or take place under
like conditions. Intelligent under
standing of children will see this and
feel distressed by the iron-bound rule
that makes them act falsely to their
understanding. The broken rule cries
out for judgment, and the need Of
child for understanding guidance has
to be sacrificed.
Parents find it convenient to lay
down rules. One child insists upon
going to visit friends overnight until
her mother begins to see that this is
forming an unfortunate habit.
mo child L. going to stay overnight
any place, any time. All the children
must be home to dinner at and re-
main at home"
That settles that. But along comes
Aunt Emma, great favorite. well
beloved by all the family. She invites
her namesake to stay overnight in
town with her and go to the circus.
Now what? Susan, for whose sake
the impersonal ruling has been made,
looks on grimly. Is the rule to hold
or Is Susan to feel the restriction is
lifted?
Long ago, as young teacher,
learned to shun rules and keep out
Of embarrassing situations. The boys
in class had annoyed me by raising
their hands and waving them wildly
for no reason at all, and said, mo
more hand raising" BY and by boy
raised his hand. I shook my head
at him and put mark in the book.
Again he raised his hand and again I
did my bit.
I was teaching science in those days
and had to carry my exhibits in from
room to room. For easy transporta-
ton I packed them in a waste basket.
The day when I went to take the bas-
ket from the wardrobe in the hall they
had vanished.
ANY one seen the basket?" asked.
Yes" said the hand-waver, II saw
the janitor's helper carry 1t away.
but you wouldn't let me tell you and
I'll bet he dumped it,"
He won his bet and I learned about
making rules.

SOME people Just can't resist annoy
ing pal who is taking a snooze.
They feel called upon to act the part of
\ fly, or mosquito, or to ask mil
lion questions that demand answers.
Haven't you ever had your dearest
friend start flinging questions at you
just as you're doing off on the
couch after hard days work? It's
more horrible than having the doctor
ask you how you feel just as you are
going under the ether. Or maybe it's
about the same thing.
If you try to tell her to keep quiet
and let you sleep, it wakes you up,
Ind you WANT so badly to sleep. If
you just say, "Uh, huh" she shakes
you until you give her a nice clear
yes"
We've thought several times of pre-
pairing little DO not disturb-sleep-

We didn't think it would work, 50 We
never did it.
Sometimes, too, it's difficult to re-
4aliate in kind, for the annoyer is
usually the type OF person who never
takes q nap on the couch.
Oh, well. Probably We'll just have
to keep on telling her :. we love to
hear people talk when We are falling
asleep. But we are simply incapable
Of answering questions then. Maybe
h we're persistent she'll learn.

Of white or pale grey but surprising
as 1t may seem, they also were done In
deeper colors, such as green that Is
shown to advantage in one Of these
rooms. Deep colored hand blocked
linen curtains were often used in the
drawing rooms and dining rooms dur
ing that period.
THE highlights of the rooms are the
polished brass handles and locks
Of the desks and cabinets, the brass
andirons, and the lovely side lights
with crystal drops, which are reflected
IN the beautifully grained wood of the
furniture, Each piece of wood has
been carefully selected and polished to
soft finish, giving it an age-old ap-
pearance, instead of the highly var
nished surface that is so often seen
today
Each piece of furniture is marked
with a detailed description of the
article from which 1t has been copied,
and stamped with the approval Of the
Williamsburg craftsmen, who are
authorities on the subject. There
are large door keys, fashioned in
brass, and about six inches long,
resembling in size the key Of New
York City" so often presented to a
distinguished visitor by the mayor
upon his arrival in this country. One
wonders how the master of the house
managed to carry such large key
around With him!
Among the interesting and unusual
furniture and accessories that made
for luxurious living in that period,
but seldom seen today is the lovely
wine cabinet in the dining room.
When opened, this reveals IS neat
compartments for the various bottles
of refreshments that were needed to
extend Southern hospitality In front
Of the lovely, simple fire place, with
its shining brass, is the old-fashioned
"hot-toddy mixer" that may be re-
moved from the brass case and held
over the flames to heat and stir that
famous drink on frosty evening.
FASCINATING pieces of pewter
include beautifully designed
water pitcher and large tray, which
stand on the console table ready to
serve the guests at all times. Pewter,
which was so popular in the olden
days, has returned to favor in the past
few years and today beautiful copies
of pieces may be purchased. On the
sideboard is a lovely replica Of an
old silver after-dinner coffee pot with
the spout On the side; also a paH Of
cleaning crystal candlesticks with tall,
ivory-covered tapers
When going through and looking at
each piece Of furniture We noticed,
particularly, that the slide panels
and interiors Of the drawers are made
of pine. as were those of the original
pieces, for in those days all mahogany
was imported. Ships we're unable to
carry as much cargo as they do today,
and so the more expensive wood had
to be conserved in every way possible
Consequently the wood that could
be purchased in this country was used
where it would be noticed the least.
Coming away, after the hour we had
spent wandering through the model
rooms. and breathing the atmosphere
Of that by-gone era, we found that the
hurry and hustle Of the city streets
with their cacophony Of sound, almost
like blow in the face. No wonder
our forbears were such great and
gifted people! They lived under
conditions with induced thought and
action, rather than repelled them by
noise and confusion! Would that we
could recapture the secret Of those
days!

The Matter
Of Shaping
Eyebrows S
Just See How Quickly
Those Ten Years
Are Subtracted.
BY ELSIE PIERCE

BY ELSIE PIERCE.
ITHOSE little hats, perched up
on the top OF the head, that
rely upon an elastic band to
= keep them on the head at
all they're very youthful But
they play q game Of tic-tac-toe with
the face, emphasizing every feature
The eyes. the nose, the chin, the
contour, the forehead and the b-ows
The face is thrown on its own re-
sources, stripped Of any kindly,
concealing shadows.
OF course, 1t goes without saying,
that the older woman should avoid
such hats for the very reasons cited
above. But the woman who is quite
young. or who Is no longer young
but has cleverly enough outwitted
Father Time and kept her facial
contour firm, the woman whose
| features are well-made, the woman
who can boast about being frankly
forty" and have much younger
women enviously ask how do you
| do it?" the little perky hats
are for her.
They are task masters, these little
hats. True. But all women know
| this. And those who can wear them
are quick to do so-they're quick to
faunt the fact that their young faces
complement the young hats. Who
| can blame them?
Under these little hats the forehead
should remain uncovered. Soft, feath-
cry curk at the temples or wispy
| rolls following the line Of the hat are
good. A smooth. unwrinkled front
should be revealed The eyebrows
achieve particular importance
A naturally heavy brow doesn't make
much difference on a very young
face. But it means at least 10 years
to mature face. Groom such a
brow, thin it down into a more nat
uraly. slightly arched brow and see
what happens. See how quickly those
10 years are subtracted. The same
thing holds true Of shaggy brow,
" ether 1t be thin or heavy. The
wild, out-of-line hairs should be
plucked. even II this means leaving
too-thin line. Then the line may
be made to look heavier by means Of
the eyebrow pencil. This pencil, by
the way, should be used consistently
If the eyebrows are gray or bleached
or blond. To be interesting and make
the face more interesting the brows
| must be dark

tinue to lead the field in quantity and
low price. Vegetables are varied and
plentiful, and meats pursue their usual
trend.
A ND now let's consider the main
issue more in detail-that Is, the
lineup for next Sundays festive meal:
SUNDAY DINNER MENU.
Tomatoes Tuna
Melba Toast Ripe Olives
Potted Calls Liver
Creamed Potatoes String Beans
Romaine Salad, Cheese Puffs
Strawberry Shortcake
Coffee
The tomatoes, which are stuffed
with tuna fish, make a pleasant change
from soup or fruit juices, in starting
of the meal. The liver, while not
usually considered a Sunday" dish,
is, when cooked in the way designated
in the following recipe, delicious enough
for any party! And as for that straw
berry shortcake--well, everyone knows
that that is the battle OF the century,
whether the dessert must be constructed
with cake and whipped cream and ber-
ries, or whether it is made of a short
biscuit dough, with plenty of berries
and coffee cream poured over it. I
won't get into any such argument, so
I am just giving you the recipe today
for nv side of the StOrv-and If Won
don't like 1t, you can roll your own!
TOMATOES TUNA.
very small tomatoes
hard-bolled eggs.
l can tuna fish.
Mayonnaise.
Remove the center from the toma-
toes, chop the eggs and tuna fish, and
mix them with highly y-seasoned mayon-
naise which has been colored green.

Stuff tomato shells with the mixture
Top with thin slice Of green stuffed
olive, and set on ice to become very
cold. Serve on a bed of Watercress.
POTTED CALF'S LIVER.
large calf's liver.
small onions. sliced
Few drops garlic juice.
tablespoons flour.
2 tablespoons celery, chopped fine.
tablespoons minced parsley.
3 tablespoons bacon fat.
Wash the liver well and remove the
skin. Cut six pockets in the surface,
about one inch wide, and reaching
nearly to the depth of the liver Fill
these with the parsley and the celery,
which have been seasoned with salt
and paprika. Tie the liver with string
to keep filling in place and dredge we'll
with flour. Heat the fat in a closely
covered kettle and add the onion.
When the onion is Drowned add the
liver, browning it all over. Cover and
let cook very slowly for about one
hour. Do not overlook, as that will
make the meat TOO dry and tough.
Add little water if necessary. Servo
hot, with gravy from the kettle.

Dorothy Dix Says
Child Marriage Failures Due to Love
Changing as Girls Grow Older

is just bubbling over with sentiment
that she is bound to spill on somebody.
She is like the girls in the old Flora
dora opera who sang: Il must love
somebody, and it might as we'll be
YOU
1t is not surprising that the man
you married at IA you are out of love
with and tired of at II. 1t would be
little short of miracle if you still
cared for him and found him con-
genial. At IA you were a child, with
a childs taste and desires, and these
were bound to change as you grew up.
Even at II you are still too young and
immature to know what you want in
husband. You are still growing and
still changing. BY the time you are
really woman and At to marry you
will want an entirely different man
for husband from any one you will
pick out now.
You have outgrown one husband
and lost your taste for him. You are
evidently little dubious about how
long the present incumbent of your
affections will fire your fancy and you
are speculating about what other ro-
mantle adventures may lie ahead Of
you.
So don't you think it best to put all
thnllDhfc nf loiS0nS Qr1S SnIIh1o-
ing the husband who loves you, and
divorces and marriages and remar-
riages out of your head until you are
old enough to deal with these prob
lens? After all, love and marriage
are for grown-ups, not for children.
But what an argument against child
marriage is your little tragedy.
