WOlMAN,S REALM
Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

What are we going to decide about children and death2 Should they be protected from the knowl- edge that dear ones die, or be told that Aunt Eva has gone to better place than this, on long, long journey, and that she will not re- turn?
 There are two schools of thought about 1t. One advocates that chil- dren, as well as adults, should learn to look upon death as a natural thing, such as life. The other insists that shock may result in unhappy memories that shadow life, and may even leave a deeper mark upon emotional stability.
 believe that both nave a real basis of truth. But there is one ar- gument against the former. How, exactly, are we to teach children not to fear death, when almost all of us dread it and refuse to face the idea of it? A few fatalistic na- tions, particularly Orientals, have cultivated a calm philosophy about death, but we Occidentals have no centuries behind us to ingram this indifference toward cessation of life. Spare Child the Funeral Doctors who see death often natu- rally begin to lose patience at our refusal to face it, and among them we find the opponents of acceptancs. '1t is time," said a brilliant sur- geon to me recently, "that children adults, everybody learn to take a different attitude. believe that the perpetual fear of dying is responsi- ble for seemingly irremediable ill., ness, and for death itself"
 AS for children, let us see. Is 1t death itself, or the terrible drama that we make of it that leaves the child shuddering? It depends upon age, of course, for older children pick up defense in their growing knowledge that makes them less susceptible to the impressions of the funeral and burial.
 It is the latter that leaves the most grievous impression on the young or emotional child's mind, SO our question is answered.
 Therefore I believe that nearly all children should be spared the details of the grave. At least they should not witness the rites of burial. And, where possible, de- pending on the love involved, suggest that they be spared the scenes of extreme grief. In short, I think that funeral in general are unfortunate experiences for chil- dren.
 Prepared For Truth
 Death can be explained truth fully. There need be no fairy tale about it, except to the very young, who would not understand and might convert 1t into a monstrous terror.
 Today's children know more about death than yesterdays. They see movies. They read books. They get about. But one of the laws of all children's literature today is avoiding narrowing details. The child will not shudder 8 truth but will long remember and long suf- fer over explicit narrative. The same rule, I believe, should govern our handling of death. As the child grows, and mentality makes a fair foil for feeling, then he is more ready to stand the intimate con- tact, the sights and sounds that pass 8 loved one on his way.

Afternoon tea has come back as 8 standard American social function. At many of the smartest afternoon social gathering now,. neither cock tails nor highballs make their ap- petarance. Tea takes the honors. So if you like the idea of gathering a few friends around a steaming cup and something delicate to eat, go to it. You have the blessings of the leading social arbiters of this coun- try.
 For informal teas you can invite your friends by phone or by note. Four or four-thirty is the accepted tea hour, but that can be changed of rthe convenience of guests.
 For larger formal teas, the invita- tion is a visiting card with the date of the tea and the time written in the lower corner opposite the ad- dress. For example, on one line, November 8th," and under that '"Tea at { o'clock" If the tea is in honor of someone, ITO meet MT. or Mrs. So-and So" is written across the top of the card.
 Friend of Hostess Pour
 At teas of this type the hostess invites one of her closest friends to pour" Wearing a tea group and hat, she will sat at one end of a large table with the tea service directly in front of her, and the cups, tsaucers, spoons, and napkins to one side. The hostess, dressed in long, semi-formal gown, stands nea rthe door where it Is conven- tent for her to greet guests and in- troduce them to others. If he feels that the number of her guests may prove unwieldly she may ask one or two friends to stand" with her They, like the "pourer," wear hats

 Yourself
By Alicia Hart

It takes more than a pretty- doll face, wide eyes and curly hair to get by in Hollywood these days. Personal magnetism (call it scintillating personality, if you'd rather), 8 pleasant voice, poise and fine diction are infinitely more in1- portant to the modern screen acc treSs than the shape of her mouth or nose, even the shade of her skin.
 And that, according to Dario Rappaport, world famous portrait painter, is something which should give beauty-minded women pause for thought. The Viennese artist, who has painted such personages as George Clemenceau, Pope Plus XI, Mussolini, Frank P. Kellogg and dozens of other well-knowns, has, for the past three years, lived in Hollywood among stars.
 Makeup artists can paint away hollows, put in shadows, in fact, perform vertiable miracles with powder and grease paint. If 8 young actress has talent and personality, her manager worries little about her appearance. If she hasn't, they know there's not much use n worrying about anything concern ing her."
 As examples of what he means by the statement that personality, voice and speech-not perfect fea- lures and wavy hair-add up to suc- cess, MT. Rappaport pointed out Katharine Hepburn, Luise Rainer, Sylvia Sidney, Bette Davis.
 "Not by any stretch of the imag- ination could Katharine Hepburn be called 8 pretty girl" the artist continued. "She couldn't get by on her beauty for thirty seconds. What Miss Hepburn has, never was found in 8 box of grease paint.
 And Luise Rainer. Why, she isn't even faintly good looking, let alone pretty. But she has an activ0 mind, knows how to buy and wear becoming clothes. And she's alive vivacious."
 MT. Rappaport thinks that BettQ Davis and Sylvia Sidney are all most homely. No amount of makeup could make either of them great beauties, he says. Yet they are im4 portant stars. They have real abil4 ity, plus personality of "what \ takes"
 The artist then spoke of Ameria can women, comparing them mora than favorably with women of Eu- ropean countries. He says the way Americans are able to retain a youthful appearance through the years is nothing short of amazing. Also that our habits of cleanliness are something the rest of the world would do well to initiate.
 Tt may be indelicate of me to say so," MT. Rappaport smiled, "but I think the great American habit of bathing and bathing and bath ing is the very foundation of American beauty. Scruptuously clean-that's what all of you are. Then, too, you eat less than Euro peans and you exercise more. The combination of the three makes for healthy, lasting beautyl"

Paris Style Chats
By DOROTHY CAREW


 Paris. (UP)-With evening decol- letes lower than in many years and shoulders being barred on some TO- mantle gowns, necklines for every other occasion are creeping steadily higher and higher.
 No sports necklines at the mo- ment is too high to wear an ascot, for soft scarves in wool and silk are designed to swatlle the neck and tuck inside in trim, tailored effect. Kerchiefs in brilliant hues are shown for wear with round and w. necked sweaters, but this season, to be really chic, the ends must be tucked out of sight.
 A variety of styles are included in the treatment of sports necklines jackets button to plain round necklines and collarless V's. Soft woolen dresses are designed to swathe the neck at the front and button down the center back. Col lars that are high and round are of strictly tailored design for day. time suit blouses.
 Creed introduced the stock neckline on printed crepe blouses for tailored suits and throughout the winter collections there is an upward tendency. Mainbocher shows the swathed neckline effect in ac- cessories of colorful duvetyne with gloves and matching scarf collar that fits about the neck like an old fashioned dickey. Gray taffeta makes 8 distinctive neckline that rises flat against the throat on a blouse trimmed with crossed red velvet ribbons at Marcel Rochas. Schiaparelli uses her novelty stars to fasten a colorful lame blouse to a snug V.
