ing for any emergency, Italy's
Mediterranean squadron steamed
into strategic positions close to
Spanish territorial waters today
in battle formation-ready for In

The ships had orders to fire if

The ministry Of marine ordered

II you are lover OF Lenox china
you will find it hard to make up
your mind as to which one of the 81
patterns to select. An old favorite
is the cream colored set with the gold
border; this is a wise selection at any
time, and especially If you are not
certain what color scheme the bride
prefers, as these are always lovely
with anything. The newest design
Lenox offers is very simple, pure
white plate with an ice blue border
and white beaded edge.
WEDGWOOD bone china is an
other of the fine makes Of a
simple design that is attractive to use
on any occasion. The most popular is
the pure white with the grapevine de-
sign in white or powder blue. Minton
china is also outstanding, and the
pattern that I like and is the best
known is Of ivory with q deep blue
border edged with gold.
For q member Of the ''horsey" set
nothing could be more appropriate than
the pieces copied from the famous
Lionel Edwards hunting prints. The
plates are very colorful. with the male
members of the chase in pink coats
and the ladies in side saddle habits, as
they follow the hounds in their efforts
to be in on the kill" During the hunt
(on the plateS) many of the members
and their steeds come to disaster, but
the chase goes merrily on Also in
| cluded in this set is soup tureen $50
popular today for buffet meals), with
its handles formed like the branches
of an oak tree, while the top holds
the acorn. The handles of the cups
and the spout of the coffee pot
are also branches of the tree. There
is a large punch bowl with this set
that is just the thing for refreshments
after the hunt.
There are the proud owners OF
yachts who would rather have gift
| for their boat than anything on earth,
| so why not look into the nautical
| plates, that are really lovely! One set
| that I saw was white with fine red,
white and blue lines In the center Of
bow of a cabin cruiser ploWing through
the water as she hove into sight from
| the lower left-hand corner. In the
| upper right hand side was the compass
that keeps the captain on his course
Another smart set for yacht is of
white, with fine marine blue edge
| and crossed flags on the border. These
nave to be ordered. as the flags must
be those Of the yacht club and the
owners flag.

Spodes old stoneware also comes
in lovely plate with the butterfly
border. This is the pattern that the
Society Of the Cincinnati presented

One of the oldest and loveliest OF
plates is the Royal Crown Derby, with
its deep blue and white, with touches
OF scarlet and gold in the design.

Frightened
Children
Need Help
Using Force on Them
Only Strengthens

BY ANGELO PATRI,

pie who are trying to cure them.
eyes. you will go upstairs! And
this minute And you will go without
q light. I'm not going to have you
behave like baby. A great big boy
of 7 afraid of the dark? You march
right upstairs and bring me your
overcoat so I can sew on the button
before bedtime"
Now Annabelle, this is sheer nom
sense. There is nothing about Aunt
Lizzie to make you afraid OF her. You
20 right up to her and kiss her SWeetly
and say. How do you do?' But
I'm telling you that you must. You
hear me? Want a spanking? Well,
that is what you are going to get II you
don't go this minute and greet Aunt
Lizzie as a child ought to do"
oh, for pity sake, Morris. Stroke
the kitty. 1t won't bite you. See.
There you pet the kitty. I never
did see such a coward as this child
is. Morris, you hear me? Pet the
kitty. II you don't I'll throw her
right in your lap. There! Such 4
coward. Afraid of the kitten.
Stop that yelling this minute or I'll
attend to you. I'm ashamed to have
a boy afraid of kittens fur.
Now this is we'll meant, but cruelty
lust the same. For some reason
hidden even from the child, he is
afraid. He depends upon his mother
and father, and his relatives generally,
to see him past all the lions that
beset his path. He leans hard on their
courage and their help When instead
OF helping him they turn on him and
give him reason to fear them. along
with the other things, he feels for
saken, ill-used, dreadfully alone. Feel
ing alone and helpless Is the signal
for the onset Of fear.
Nobody needs to be told that fear
is poison that destroys courage,
initiative, progress and health. Every
thing possible should be done to pre-
vent fear because once it has been set
it is removed only with great difficulty,
over a long series Of experiences that
require time for their Interpretation.
The best cure for fear is to put
confidence in its place, but that is
extremely difficult Confidence f1ed
when fear was born, and it has to be
coaxed back slowly. gently and surely.
Build it by experience upon experience.
Don't argue down the fear, carry the
child safely by it. Go with him in
the dark, let him light the lights
himself but don't talk about it.
Let the shy child alone. Train
him to meet people without his
knowing your purpose. Give him
something to hand the guest, some
thing to deliver when he goes on an
errand, something to carry on the road
that has terrors for him. AS long as
a child feels his hand on something
material he has some courage and
faith in his strength. Hands have .
way Of helping people out Of difn-
culties. Don't make 4 child tell his
name, say how-do-you-do, or recite
q piece. Make the suggestion. let 1t
pass. The child in time will want to
speak. Then he will, and there will
be an end Of his fear. Force will not
cure fear.

Freckles
Multiply
In the Sun
Stay in the Shade and
Use Heavy Creams
and Powders.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

THE perennial freckle brigade is at
it again. To tan but not freckle.
The wish being father to the thought,
prompts them to write "can it be done
and how" The question Is always the
same. The answer, unfortunately, Is,
1T can't be done"
Freckles, it must be rememberer. are
caused by an irregular formation Of
the color pigment in the skin. Sun
light causes the spots to multiply. The
same sunlight that causes the skin to
tan. Isn't it obvious. therefore, that
one whose skin is inclined to freckle
cannot face the sun without having
the unWelcome crop increase?
In the case OF freckles. sunproofing
preparations can help only to limited
extent. But so long as the sun is per-
mitted to penetrate the skin suffi-
GENTLY to darken it, 1t will simultane-
ously have its effect on the freckles.
II you freckle readily and feel that
freckles are beauty liability, the best
| advice I can give you is: Shun the
sun-avoid the sunlight and you avoid
freckles. Wear large hats; get under
| the shade of parasol at the beach;
use sunproofing preparations and use
| them generously, heavily. The heavy
| type creams and fairly heavy powders
| are necessary as barrier between cause
Friend Face.
You've probably had the "ounce of
prevention" theory pounded home to
you. If you object to the triteness of
it, let me hasten to assure you that in
the case Of freckles. it is as true as the
spots on your skin. Stay out Of the
sun entirely. use sunproofiing creams,
take all the necessary precautions and
you will prevent more freckles from
| forming.
And, at the end Of the Summer, you
VIII be blSsfully absent from among
those who raise the hue and cry, how
to remove them" The business Of
removing freckles is by no means easy,
by no means entirely safe and COM
mendable. Many so-called freckle
removers contain mercury which may
be quite dangerous to those allergic
to this chemical. In fact, any drug or
preparation strong enough actually to
remove the freckles may be strong
enough to injure the surrounding
| tissue. Mild bleaches that gradually
make the freckles lighter until they
are practically imperceptble are some
thing else again.

refuses to take the leads she offers
him. and that means that the girl is
left to suffer the tortures Of unreouited
love.
In any case. there can be no happy
solution of the problem for the girl
who is in love with a married man
unless she is utterly conscienceless.
because her only hope of happiness is
by committing crime against another
woman that she hopes and prays no
other woman will commit against her.
For to get her man she must take him
away from his wife, she must make
him traitor to his every duty and
obligation. she must wreck home and
rob children of their father
That is what you are planning to do.
and think that even if you succeed
you will find little happiness in your
victory with this sin upon your soul.
For this man is good man. putting
up fight against you, trying to lead
clean and decent life and keep the
VOWS he made at the altar and If you
do win out and make him divorce his
wife and marry you, he will hate YOU
for it.
He will despise you for what you
have done, and despise himself for
having been weak enough to yield TO
you, and you will have wrecked his
life as well as his wife's and children's.
The wise thing for you to do Is to go
away from this man and forget your
unhappy love affair. You can easily
do it at your age. And leave the man
in peace to be happy with his wife
and children. II you really love him,
you Will do 1t.

And unhappily this catastrophe
happens so often; indeed, 1t is almost
inevitable now that men and women
work together in Offices and are
thrown together in an intimacy that
fosters sentiment. and 1t has become
ono Of the great social menaces Of
modern life. 1t Is so easy for
young girl, her head full Of romantic
dreams, to fall in love with her bo2s
or the man at the next desk. He is
older, more sophisticated, has more
poise, Is more dominant than the
callow boys with whom she has asscci-
ated, and before she knows 1t she has
gone of the deep end.

Answer-No, don't think there is
any tragedy that can be woven out Of
the woof and wrap of sorrow that is
any more terrible or more pitiful than
for girl to fall in love with married
man, because the end OF 1t is bound to
be heartbreak for one or more or all
concerned in it.
