 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

When judging growing children there are times to see things and times to be blind.
 You can forgive Q lot in chil- dren. For instance, Billy comes in with 8 light of mischief in his eyes. He has his moods, as we all do and on occasion the spirit of Loki, the jokester god, gets into him.
 Peel your eyes and stop your tongue at such time, because Billy is going to have his fun, and work off his surplus urges in some way.
 At this time he will become argumentative and unreasonable, if he is caught. Arguments with children are futile, because they see one way and we see another. Usually we lose, unless we resort to the prerogatives of superior age and add force to reason.
 But back to Billy. Tn school, he may stamp a little coming in and wink at the kids. He's trying to get a rise out of you. You go right on putting sentences on the black board and say evenly, Good morning, William"
 Just Looking for Trouble
 After that he settles in his seat but he bangs his inkwell lid up and down and drops some books. You go right on as though noth- ing had happened. Billy has his days, and this is one. He is due for a little confab with you may be some day soon, or else you give him a position of trust for a while. It depends entirely on your study of the boy and the best way to handle him.
 At home he comes in with flourish and in two minutes has awakened the baby, knocked the milk bottles down the steps and choked on 8 purloined apple.
 He's in high, you see, and he kicks the world before him. Animal spirits, surplus steam, thumbing his nose at restriction.
 He knows he's being bad, and he's ready for all corners. He'd just like a good calling down first rate, so he can sass back. a
 It's too bad to disappoint your boy, but the very best discipline ing he could have at the moment is silence on your part. It will cut under, when words or smacks won't. Cold water on such ambition usually kills it.
 Wait Till It Blows Over
 Our overly-ambitious Billy may go out and fight a chum, or call a policeman names, but gradually he will defiate. He may come in as meek as Moses at five o'clock and pick up the milk bottles as he arrives.
 If he gets too cocky, he needs some trimming, for such days can't become 8 habit; but if we know our man, we'll find that there are times for sensible advice and warn- ings (never threats) that are best given when he is in a receptive mood and listening-the psycholog- ical moment, so-called, when im- pressions sink in.
 Otherwise he builds wall. ain- tagonistic to suggestion. He's up on top of it, too, with snowballs in his hand. Best to wait until he comes down off his perch and hasn't any thing on his mind.
 Hear no evil, see no evil. speak no evil" has it's place in child rais- ing, many times over. To be deaf, blind and dumb are, at times, the gauge of a wise parent.

THE PREVENTION or
 APOPLEXY

| AEUELEAx
 The common name for apoplexy is 8 "stroke" or shock" of paralysis. | Physicians refer to the condition as cerebral hemorrhage and to the l consequent paralysis as hemiplegia, which means one-sided stroke, for the paralysis is usually confined to one side of the body. If the right side of the body, especially the righ arm and hand is affected, usually there is more or less paralysis of speech, too, for the brain center controlling fine movements such as writing by the right arm and hand is in the left side of the brain close to the center controlling the mus cles of articulation and the bleeding in such case is into the left cerebral hemisphere, generally from rupture of small branch of the middle cerebral artery which supplies blood to that part of the brain.
 Speech center of a right-handed individual is in the left side of the brain (near the base in the region of the ear). Tn a left-handed in- dividual, however, the speech center IS in the right side of the brain. Ambidextrous individuals, if trained to write and do other fine work with either hand or both, use both sides of the brain, are less likely to suffer aphasia Ooss of speech) from Q stroke, for if the hemorrhage into the brain tissue damages the speech center of one side, the already de- veloped speech center of the other side carries on. Individuals who are trained only mechanically must start from scratch and learn to write latent center when the active writing speech apparatus has been put out of commission or other in- jury. This is another good reason why natural left-handedfless should never be interfered with; or rather why ambidexterity should be en- couraged.
 Unfortunately there are no defi- nite warning signals of impending apoplexy. Flushed face or an ap- pearance of full-bloode dedness is no more significant, perhaps less, than pallor or an alenlic or thin-blooded look.
 Unfortunately. too--for the vic- tirns of pretense, many eminent physicians, relying on their estab- lished position, still dare to perpe- trate upon credulous patients such trick diagnoses as brain flag nervous breakdown" the verge of neurasthenia, Functional nervous exhaustion" or just "bad nerves" 1" Such humbug diagnosis may not be entirely vain in cases on the callow side of forty, especially if 1t holds patients under observation till the doctor can get some idea what real- ly ails 'eni. But even that exped- lent cannot justify such quackery when the patient is over forty years of age. Tn every case where 8 pa- tient past forty complains of such symptoms as fatigability, increasing restlessness, insomnia and appre- hension. even though the vital or- gans are apparently healthy and the blood pressure is normal or. sub-

Rivals for the fashion palm are mannish tailleurs, soft dressmaker models, swaggers, reefers, boxy jackets. The colors would do justice to a spring garden and are truly beautiful. The new suits are designed to make you look chic as a Parisienne day after day all spring, and next fall as well. If it's classic in de- sign and fabric, it will be the backbone of your wardrobe for two, or even three years.
 New are the three-piece ensembles which consist of dark skirts and jackets under swinging pastel top coats or dark skirts with matching coats and pastel jackets. If you want the picture you make in the Easter parade to be new and dif- ferent and casually correct, consider slim black skirt, rosy pink flannel jacket and short swagger in matching pink. Or 8 black tweed suit with hip-length beige reefer.
 Details No Longer So Exaggerted ESPECIALLY interesting in Helen 1 Cookman's spring collection is a green tweed jacket suit under a green and white swagger, in novelty diagonal weave. Also 8 soft blue tweed number with four godets in the slightly flared skirt and a trim little jacket with unlined lapels and peplum effect at the back.
 Shoulders are not as overgrown Revers have shrunk in size, too It's best to have a suit with shoul- ders only slightly padded to make you look nice and square across the top, but not top-heavy. Look for diminutive revers, or none.
 MannishneSS is out. Strictly tail- ored suits are good, but, this spring they must be worn with ultra fem mine blouses, soft boutonnieres or other accessories which make you look like lady, curves and all.
 Tunics, too, have gone with the wind. Also the idea that one must get black or navy. These are very popular, of course, but so are beige gray, green, rose and gold tweed Don't let yourself get into 8 color rut. If you have worn brown ol black all winter. change now.
 
 Skirts IA Inches From Floor
 CKIRTS range here between l2 O and IA inches from the floor depending on your figure and legs Generally speaking very flared ones are for the slender. Subtle flares and pleats are for everyone, how ever. and much more comfortable they are than narrow, straight af. fairs.
 Unless you have decided on { swagger coat or one of those reeferi which is supposed to be full amid. ships, be meticulous - just plaiI fussy, in fact--about it. The line from underneath arms to top 0i hips should be sleek and trim. Fit. ted jackets must Mk.

A nineteen dollar suit looks really expensive If the accessories are of highest quality and original in design or color. By the same token, a cheap, badly planned ac- cessory ensemble can make @ hand some suit look positively mediocre.
