WOMAN,S REALM
Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

There should be a balance of power between parents.
 It happens that when a father becomes too arbitrary and dom- ineering Cor let us just say "dom- inating'D, that. the mother, too shares fear sof his control, and allies herself with the children. If daddy is too cross or unreason- able, she hides and protects the lambs from bis roar; and al- though we can forgive her and even cheer her, the whole situa- ton is unfortunate indeed.
 For this, Is what happens. The children depend on her only for sanctuary and begin to question even her authority, unless she happens to be a person of unusual talent for keeping respect and the reins of, rule. 3 #
 Parents Must Be Reasonable
 We are trying, of course, to in- still in all children control, self government and honor. The1 oretically it is an excellent idea. But this calls. for the sane, just and entirely reasonable parent, both parents, which is too much to expect. But at that, 1t is well for all children to feel that above their own independence there are people to answer to. The home is the miniature world and all of US must learn respect and obedience, to authority.
 Johnny, whose father is mean, as he calls it, will learn to hide behind his mother skirts. On the other hand, mother may be unreasonably strict, while the father attempts to excuse and make peace.
 He, Johnny, will learn to select one parent to obey. If, at table, Dad says, "Eat your beans," and Mother pleads. "EIe isn't hungry. Henry" or "The beans aren't cooked the way he likes." Master John is going to ease himself out of a tough spot.
 '.Mom said I needn't" he says, and he doesn't eat the beans.
 We must allow for the faults of growing children and not be too hard on them, but we should not go to the other extreme and feel that each time dad gives an order, he is being cruel. Not un- less he is cruel.
 Remonstrance Becomes Habit
 One of the hardest things in the world is for a mother to keep quiet when her husband is using authority with high hand. But where occasionally it is right enough for her to say, "Now, Henry, Johnny did the best he could," or, "He is really too tired to do that" she can fall into the habit of remonstrance before she knows it.
 Parents should cooperate, but they cannot, always. A man may have one idea and his wife an- other. Each should try, however, as far as possible to see the good in each others motives, and al- low for 1t.
 The child should feel that each of his parents tacitly backs the other. And if he thinks that things are trifle unreasonable at times, he must get used to it

Glor1tyimg Yourself
By ALICIA HART

A shining example of mature figure pulchritude is Annette Kel- lerman, the original bathing girl. She thinks that homc-makers should learn to do their housework in a way that benefits their bodies.
 Don't pend your knees when you lean over to brush up the dust from the floor or pick up Juniors clothes" Miss Kellerman advises. Keep knees stiff, bending from the waist.
 Also, though 1t may seem silly you might remember that standing on your hands with feet balanced against a wall or ladder relieves tired, aching feet, helps to keer arms from getting flabby and chest from becoming hollow"
 Once Q woman passes the thirty mark, she ought to include weight equalizer" routines among her daily exercises. Swimming keeps waist line trim, arms slender, chest full and young. If you can't swim severa. CIIlcS u Wcch, UO LLlc SUTOkcS dl hc-:e. Simply lie across a marrow bed, fling arms wide apart in breast stroke fashion and kick feet up and down. Grasp ankles and pull feet backward and up toward your head as far as they will go. Relax and repeat five times.
 Stretch waistline instead of shoul- ders when you are washing windows Pull your lazy torso upward away from hip sockets, Bend from side tc side as you wash and polish.
 Even dishwashing is good for the figure if you stand correctly while you do the job. Stand close to the sink with weight squarely on the balls of your feet, stomach in, .bacl; straight, chest high. Remember that bad posture makes one tired.
 Don't sit on backless stool while fixing vegetables or cleaning silver Pick 8 straight, comfortable chair or a stool with back. Then sit up straight, preferably with feet on the floor. The base of your spine should touch the back of the chair. Elevate chest, pull stomach in and shoulders just naturally will square them selves.

 Complexion and hair which re- ceive correct, regular attention do not fade and grow old all too soon. A figure which is exercised and otherwise cared for properly does not become stiff and awkward or bulgy in the wrong place. If she is willing to devote enough time to the business of keeping young, any wo- man can be more attractive as the years go on.

OXYGEN DEFICIT AND

Anhedonia is incapacity for hap ptneSS, inability to enjoy life, It IS a state of mind, of course, but even 50, it may depend on a physical condition. A psychologist conceived the trouble. A psychologist Is 8 fel- low who sets out to be a physiologist or even a physician, stumbles upon an imposing term or idea, such ss inferiority complex or released ir- hibitjon, and finds 1t 50 popular that he discOntinues his studies and takes to writing articles for the magazines and popular books. The one that invented andedotaia might with hii study of physiology, that there f more than just an idea or an atti- tude in arlhedonia.
 Another definition of anhedonia h absence of pleasure from the per- forlnance of acts which are pleas ureable to a normal individual; fail ure to get kick" out of doing things. Some "killjoys" are obvious ly sick and their sufferings suffi- ciently explain their cheerless dis position. Others are apparently well free from any evident disease ol ailment, simply lack relish, gusto zest, well-being, felicity.
 Chronic anoxia is what ails a good many of these anhedonics. This < my opinion-probably you will moi find 1t in any textbook or hear 4 from any authority until 1943 ol later. But meanwhile 1t will do nc harm to try 1t on your arhedonia

Usually 1t is a result of pov. erty or at least limited means, Christmas means spending, and when there Is little money to spend the best alibi, so think the discouraged, is to declare war on 1t.

AAAoVAo0VG VA 440- man Relations says the normal adult American male has social aspirations and expects to rise in the social scale.
 If that Is true the normal male had better keep 1t in mind when he picks out Q wife. For, even though, as Dr. Dollard claims, he expects to rise socially by his own efforts, 1t isn't done that way.
 He won't be taken into Q group where his wife is obviously out of place. Not unless he has made such a success of his business or professional life that he can't be ignored.
 And even then there isn't much in 1t for him. What use is there in his winning a place that she cannot share? If he leaves her behind, their marriage is bound to suffer. And if she tries to go along with him she is miserable and he very likely becomes openly critical or secretly ashamed.
 The man who wants not only personal success but family ac- ceptance had better use his head as well as his heart in picking out wife.
 Or he Is likely to be as disillus- toned as we women were when we found that men, too, want to keep moving socially toward the head of the line.

and this is not to be too outspoken in his Encouragement and, perhaps bitterness.
 Children do not gauge Christi mas by gifts alone but by the con- tagious happiness in the air. They hope for. Santa Claus, and in this day and age almost every child is provided for in some way. There have been years when I could not see ahead twenty-four hours, and Christmas appeared to be impossi. ble, yet we had Christmas.
 I buttoned my lips against corl- plaint, and used what inguenity I possessed. I knew that nothing would make the children more miserable than to hear me say, T hate Christmas. I don't believe in it."
 Gaiety Out of Nothing
 There was the year that a dollar or so had to suffice. But 1t did. We had a small tree, crooked and dis. carded by the dealer at the last minute as useless. I got 1t for a quarter or a dime, I forgot which now. And there was the attic with bits of material and color. The five- and.ten provided gay paper, and with a glue pot I made ornaments and streamers. It was during the war and my husband was in France. Worried as I was, 1t was good for me to have to use my wits and my hands to get us a Christ mas. The one thing I determined on was that the children should not be sad or neglected, or get the idea that Christmas was not to come to our house.
 A well.to- -do-relative sent gifts, but that would not have made Christmas for the children. It IS gaiety and merry house with everybody bright and cheerful, with the added hustle and preparation that makes them feel on Q par with the rest of the world.
 However, 1t is not always the missing dollars that sour some parents on the holiday. l know sev.. eral who regard 1t as childish and bothersome. Particularly men. l went through 1t annually as my owl, otherwise splendid father did not approve of Christmas extrava- Rance. and began about December first to disillusion us. Perhaps this is why am such 8 champion to- day for the children. know what It means to creep away and cry ones self to sleep.
