@ Your Children
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

enid won't grumble any more than he does over inactivity, ane he may get e real thrill out oi doing what he has never done before.
 Often children feel that they are not needed. They know they are loved and all that, but no one benefits by their daily doings. Il this boy felt that he was doing something that counted with his parents, had some chores to dc that would be appreciated and praised he might find life mere interesting. Doing things for children is fine and praiseworthy but we owe 1t to them to let then, do things for Us too.
 Work aS Cure-all
 have found that work is the cure for almost everything. And as children react precisely as adults, then 1t seems reasonable to think that the unhappy boy or girl will sweeten up c 1t with Q real job on hand. advise this mother to let her James white- wash the fence. clean out the cel- lar or beat some rugs. Maybe just to get, his face and hands dirty will do him good.

Be Mysterious Over the Teacups l
 Spring a knowledge of tea-leaf reading on your latest beau. You'll take on new glamour in his eyes.
 See that there are plenty of leaves left in the teacup to reveal fully the secrets of his future. V~
 Then have him turn the cup around three times, rim down, make a wish and hand the cup to you.
 Will his wish come true? Yes, if you find three leaves in an abso- lutely straight line.
 The cups handle represents your ne-seeking friend. The near- or the handle the tea leaves are, the sooner your predictions will be fulfilled. Use lots of imagination to weave @ story from the "pictures" you see. A pipe-no matter how sketchy-- foretells adventure. while an air. plane promises success. A wheel indicates Q legacy; Q swan, mar riage.

IMe4e is no recipe for happi. ness. If there were, then every. body would be happy oil the time The nearest we come to c panaces Is "a little work. little play; tc be needed and to need"
 A mother writes that her boy is not happy. No matter what she does for him he remains fret. ful and dissatisfied. What. Sht asks. can she do to make him ap. preciate his blessings and realize how well off he is7
 At this time of year many chil. dren become bored and listless Vacation has worn thin and the settlements of summer have be. gun to pail. No longer do picnics beckon with the allure of June The bathing suit hangs on It's natl with little more meaning than c bit of worn.out wool. Too much trouble to drag it on and hunt the pool. Everything Is too much trouble these days.
 ' No Inner Resources
 The fact that school will bring change usually works no magic School looks like work, and SO it Is. The prospect of study never seems to hold much promise at this time of year, although later when the pupil gets his teeth into regular tasks, he will ne happier.
 This may be part of this youths trouble, summer doldruris. But If he Is perpetually e srumblef and finds life e burden, and q bore, no matter where he Is, then he needs c shaking up.
 There are children who have no resource in themselves. They wait for everyone else to enter- tain them, and then find fault with the results.
 Tn this case 1t is time to stop supplying new blessings. Plan some regular duties instead. The

tors are SO inSistent that conVales- cents or patients greatly weakened from any cause shall remain In bed even though the patients feel all right and want to get up and walk about or at least sit up for . while. The damaged or weakened heart muscle may not be capable of meet ing the slight strain of sitting up or standing up just yet.
 The young heart, the heart of the growing child, has all 1t can do to meet the ordinary everyday require- mentS of natural activity and boy iSh or girliSh pranks, capers or games or play. It is especially i'm. portant to avoid any unnecessary severe or prolonged muscular effort at this time of life, for the heart has not yet developed what doctors call reserve power to cope with such strains. A football game, for example, is Q wicked insult to the heart of boy in his teens. High school football is one of the danfool features of Yankee education.

CONTRACT BRIDGE

Many bridge contracts are made by what are termed end plays. An end play consists In giving the lead to c chosen opponent so as to com pei him to give you an additional trick or at least save the declarer from making what proved to be a losing finesse.
 Most of these throw-in plays develop naturally from distribu- ton revealed during the play of the hand. Others are planned practically from the play to the opening trick.
 The fact that>the game was due plicate and that his own hand was so evenly balanced as to have no ruffing power whatever, caused

 There's not much percentage in sending daughter off to high school, junior college or. boarding school without makeup in her trunk or c practical knowledge of cosmetics and correct application of them. No mat ter how YOU feel about rouge, pow. der and lipstick on the faces of very young girls, the chances are ten h one that your child will use them anyway-or be utterly miserable ! she doesn't. E
 Therefore, you're a smart rlania indeed If you help your daughteg choose appropriate, fattering CO., metics, then teach her or have an expert teach her to get them on pe
 fectly.
 Emphasize the importance of nightly hair brushing, perfectly manicured nails, adequate sleep and exercise, sensible diet and absolute cleanliness. Talk to lit- tie daughter about posture, 4seep- ing her clothes neat, clean and RkGSSCd1 WCaA hAB AAVoAA oVSSnAAoH each morning, taking daily bath, scrubbing her elbows with a brush and using cream on her face after skiing, skating or winter hiking party.
 In other words, help the child to realize that health is the foun- dation of true beauty and how iin- portant good taste Is. Set @ shining example by being neat and tidy yourself and by standing, sitting, walking correctly. r
 If her skin is sallow (adolescent skins are inclined to bel, ask the family doctor about a proper diet. If she wants to use rouge, help her select cream variety which, matches her natural blood tones and insist that she apply 1t spar ingly and blend 1t artsitically. Her powder ought to be of finest quail ity and match exactly or be one shade lighter than skin tones. ,

New wCOrSetS Mold

BY MARIAN YOUNG

 NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 New York.-Beautiful new foundation garments keep the diaphragm as well as waistline in front, eliminate hips and stomach flat and firm. Circles, built up at the a ridge above your suit and skirt band. Sleek all-in-ones ideal under the new molded dresses which give "a corset ed look through the middle.
 The era of it's a smart-to- be absolutely flat above the-waistline-but-it doesn't matter how bulgy hips : stomach and thighs are has grasped its last breath. Nowadays, even trim little college girls wear girdles, Boneless and therefore com fortable, of course, but, gir- dies all the same.
 Proper Foundation
 Smooths Out Bumps
 Their heavier mamas like all-in. ones much better than separate corsets and brassieres. These have front and back panels of elastic fabric which stretches only up and down, and the sides are made of two-way stretch material. Thus the figure is controlled-but controlled comfortably.
 A properly fitted foundation al. ways Is long enough to cover Jumps of the thighs, but not so long that 1t interferes with walking or makes shelf effect at the back. It should allow one to bend easily, keep stock ings straight and smooth, eliminate all bulges, yet never create Q board. like effect down the front, push breasts too far up or drag them down. By all means have Q corset expert At your new foundation. It's a mistake to select one you like the looks of, name @ size, then take 1t without @ fitting.
 Remember, too that proper bras- siere, whether It's part of a fundation or separate model, should divide the bustline and be wide enough at the back to flatten the flesh below shoulder blades

THE HEART MUSCLE


 Normally the heart pumps 2h ounces of blood at each beat or say 7h tons a day. Now I figured this out carefully several years ago, and If any mathematician discovers Q flaw in my figures I don't care to hear about 1t. Seven and half tons may seem good deal of blood for one little heart to pump, but there 1t Is. If you make 1t ton more or less than I do, let us drop the subject and get onto something I know more about than you do.
 Everybody acknowledges that 6 reasonable amount of exercise daily Is good for health. There may be individuals who can live for fifty years or more and never take any exercise to speak of, never walk any, where if they can ride, never play any active game or do any stren- uous work or in any way exert themselves physically. But I don't believe such individuals ever amount to anything in the world, for I can't see how they can have @ good met abolisrn, an oxidation process active enough to dispose of fuel and by- products in the daily business of living. never have been crazy about work, but still 1 am reason- ably sure that Q certain amount of physical activity Is essential for the best health and the greatest comfort In living.
 The heart is an involuntary mus cle. It reacts to demands made upon the circulation by the volun- tary muscles used in any form of work, play or exercise. Even stand ing still is work; sitting is work; for certain groups of muscles must con- tract constantly to hold the body in either posture. That is why doc-

rather than, force 1t into Q roly- poly shelf.
 Also, it's important to ask for a brassiere by letter as well as num- erical size. The better varieties are A (for small figures),. B (for the average bust), 0 (for a'heavy bust) ID (for extra heavy). Tn other words you can be size 34, yet need a D. Or 34, yet require an A. It all depends on the shape and size of the bust.
 Panty Girdles
 For Suave Lines
 Panty girdles with garters attach ed are wonderful under evening gowns. These support the figure, hold up stockings. but do not make e ridge which shows through the dress at the front. Regular panty girdles, without garters, still are favorites with college girls.
 Slender women with limited bud- gets. and college girls, too, like sleek little glrdles with elastic fabric at the sides and checkerboard material at front and back.
 For the woman who revels in luxurious garments there are hand- some de luxe all-in-one models featuring braSsieies of finest lace and net and decorated with hand fagotting,
 Among other things to remember in selecting foundation garment is to choose a brasSiere with elastic sides if you have ever had trouble with bras that press against or irritate delicate muscles under the arms.
 One of the great advantages the new two-way stretch fabrics offer Is their compete availability.
 Remember, of course, that the more frequently e modern founda- ton garment is washed, the longer 1t will wear and retain its stretch and life. Don't think for a moment that lukewarm water and soap studs will stretch or injure even faintly your girdle or all-in-ones.
 Simply put bland soap flakes in a bowl of lukewarIn water, whisk into Q thick lather, immerse the soiled garment, then scrub 1t on both sides with 6 brush. Rinse at least three times, roll up in Q coarse bath towel and press out excess moisture. Then drape the garment over line. Do not use clothes pins And do not wiring or twist.
