Fast Growth
Takes Toll
OF Energy
Child Who Tires
Easily Needs Work
Reduced.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

livery term there are several re-
ports about the boy and girl who
used to get such fine marks, be such
we'll behaved children and, "all Of a
sudden bad reports are coming home.
Even at home there is trouble. He
sulks, grouches, won't help when he is
asked to, disobeys. I can't imagine
what is the matter with him. Could
you change his teacher. He doesn't
seem to like her"
Upon investigation we usually find
tired, adolescent child. Up to this
time he has been doing very well.
Then his growth begins taking toll Of
his energy. He uses up most OF his
strength in growing organs, increasing
the length of his arms and legs, grow
ing generally in all directions. That
leaves him very little power for les
sons BY the time he gets to his
homework he is all through and ready
for bed. But bed is the last place
growing child wants to go, and, Of
course, nobody notices the state of
affairs until the poor reports begin
coming in. Then they look for out
side causes instead Of those within
the child himself.
Adolescent children often get through
school without great loss of standing,
but there are exceptions. This group
that gets into definite trouble have
to have definite attention. Usually
they need reduced program of work,
a slowing down of school pressure,
some rest. Most of them, given such
relief, get back to the old standing;
some never do.
All children have not the same
power to progress for the same length
of time. Some will be A pupils for
the first five years, then slow down.
They do not go to high school. Some
hold high standing to the eighth grade
and then fall of. Some get through
high school and then show that they
have reached their limit in school
subjects. This variation must be
taken into account with these tired
children.
Some of them are beginning to
slow down because they are nearing
the limitations of their book educa-
ton and that, coupled with their stage
of growth and its problems. makes
them failures in school. These facts
must be considered in measuring the
possibilities of failing children of this
age in junior high school and high
school. In any case, a rest is mdl-
Gated, a general reduction OF the
demands Of home and school, and
skilled medical attention.
After the worst of the growing
stage is Overland this varies with
the child-the situation is clearer. II
he picks up and goes ahead, so much
the better. If he still lags, special
program, suited to his abilities, must
be provided. But he is to stay in
school. He has by no means exhausted
his possibilities for education, although
he may indicate that he is not college
| material of the sort the term usually
implies. Don't nag him or her, be-
cause you wanted star graduate
from the family college or university.
Set him toward the course in which
| he can succeed, after he has had a
rest and caught up with his physical

SOMETIMES we wish that men had
~ never been taught to help ladies
on with their coats. 1t makes life
awfully complicated for the ladies.
One man, trying his best to be
nice and gallant, holds the coat 10
inches too high for you. You couldn't
reach the armholes If you were a
trained pole vaulter The next chap
swishes the thing cheerfully around
your ankles so that you have to get
down on your knees before you can
get your neck anywhere near the coat
collar. Another Sir Walter Raleigh
decides to present the coat to you
wrong side out, so that you either
have to end by wrapping it around
you like a cape, or by deciding that,
after all, you'd rather carry the thing
on your arm. It's warm tonight,
anyway, you tell him.
But maybe you could hold your
arms up at just the right level and
say in a gay way. Just so high" but
please don't be too coy about it.

Fresh Skin
Is Easy to
Cultivate
Thoroughly Cleanse
The Skin at Night Is
the First Step.

oh YES, you cultivate a beautiful
complexion much as you cultivate
beautiful garden There's more truth
than poetry in that. And there's more
truth than poetry in the fact that
your skin can look as fresh as the first
crocus, can be as thrilling to spec
tator as the sight of the first robin.
Well leave it to poets and composers TO
sing their rhapsodies to Spring. Well
go on singing the praises Of the lovely
complexion; feeling, as always, that
this is woman's greatest beauty asset.
How to cultivate this fresh-as-spring
complexion? BY the same set of COM

vate your garden. Would you permit
weeds to choke your flowers? The
analogy can be carried to the skin.

thoroughly every night before retiring,
again in the morning. If your skin
is exposed to an excess Of dust or SCOT
Con windy days in the country-on Or
dinary days in big cities), cleanse 1t
several times during the day. The
dry type of skin usually responds to
cream cleansing; the normal or oily
type to soap and water with occasional
cold cream cleansing. Do not apply
new coat of makeup without remov-
ing the old Always start with a
fresh, clean skin as your foundation.
The next step is stimulating the
skin by general exercise and locally by
tonic patting. If the skin is dull dis
colored or salloW you will find the use
of a stimulating cream very helpful.
The function of this type of cream is
to bring the blood up to the surface,
hasten the shedding of the outer layer
of scarf skin or dead cells this
shedding goes on all the time, and is
almost imperceptible to the naked
eye) This type Of cream is usually

lowed by q thin layer Of nourishing
or emollient cream.

BY EMILY POST.

YEAR MRS. POST: What do you
consider the most time-saving
and yet socially correct way for a
man to give invitations today? My
parties can in no sense be called for
NAL, although 1 do invite many peo-
pie at one time. Heretofore l have
had my invitations telephoned, but,
contrary to what most people may
think about this method, I have not
found it a sure way of getting quick
answers.
Answer-For quick response many
of the New York hostesses, and more
especially hosts, are sending their in
vitations by telegraph, simply CIV
ing list of names and the message
itself to the telegraph operator.
DEAR MRS. POST: My husband
and 1 received printed invita-
ton Worded to the effect that Mr.. and
Mrs. John Blank will be at home
Sundays until June from to
o'clock. How should this invitation be
answered. and when is one supposed
to go and how long would We be ex-
pected to stay?
AnsWer-This invitation simply
means that the Blanks will be at
home on those Sundays between the
hours mentioned and that you are
invited to come in on any one or all
of them. Such an invitation re-
quires no answer. You would go any
time after o'clock and either stay
only the conventional Is minutes or as
long as you are having a good time.
People are all expected to leave, Of
course, by 6 o'clock.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Should a
couple deny themselves children
because Of their financial situation
when they want them more than any
thing else in the world and the wait
ing seems so long? My husband and
l are % and we have been married
nearly two years. He makes $3.50
month. We have nothing saved up
and are paying on our furniture, but
if nothing should happen we expect
to be out of debt By the end of this
year. My husband hates being in
debt and thinks VIC should wait until
we are even with the world before We
have a child, but am afraid to wait.
am afraid something might happen
so We would never have one. Is II
always better to wait until you can
afford a baby?
MOTHERLESS WIFE.
Answer Evidently you have
mother complex that amounts to an
opsession, so l should say be a sport
and take chance on the oaby. Lots
of us were born into families that
couldn't afford us and didn't have
$3.50 a month income, yet somehow,
some way we got fed and clothed and
educated and given our chance in the
world.
It can be done. 1t has been done
millions of times. And if it imposed
heavy burdens and called for many
sacrifices on our parents part, they
never complained And sometimes
they have got their reward and the
child that shouldn't have been born,
according to any dictate Of prudence,
grew up into a man or woman who
was a blessing to the world and an
honor to the father and mother who
took chance on it.
II we waited until We could guar
antee the future and be sure that
everything would be safe, We should
never do anything at all, much less
bring children into world that is full
of uncertainty. No man knows what
a day may bring forth. Everything
may go to pot. We may lose our jobs,
be sick. have the installment man take
our furniture, but. on the other hand,
we are just as likely to have good luck
as bad and get al. advance in salary,
have somebody leave us money and
everything be jake. So there you are.
You pay your money and you take
your choice, and who shall say that
baby is not worth all it costs?

IF YOU like fruit salads, there are
many combinations that may be
made either with canned or fresh
fruit. Fruit blends well with other
foods in salad, tool remember
years ago in Berlin one of the best
dishes I ever encountered was a mix
ture of tiny shrimp and diced pine
apple, covered with a highly-seasoned
mayonnaise. Apples and shrimp make
good salad, too, and canned pears,
sprinkled with finely chopped almonds
set on lettuce leaves and served with
very tart French dressing are a
pleasant change from the usual salad
routine.
Grapefruit, oranges, pineapple
cubes and green minted cherries make
pretty and wonderfully tasty combi-
nation. Serve the fruit in a grape
fruit shell basket, if you like to be a
little fancy" Sweeten your French
dressing just bit with sugar and be
sure to use lemon juice instead of
vinegar this time. If you can get
some fresh mint, chop it fine and
sprinkle it over the top of the fruit.
If you like something very much out
of the ordinary, serve this dressing
instead of the French type
Combine, beating WELL 2 tablespoons
cream, l tablespoon lemon juice, Z
teaspoon salt, l teaspoon prepared
mustard and few drops of tobasco
sauce. Sieve the pulp of an avocado

add it to the first mixture, beating all
thoroughly together until dressing is
smooth and creamy. Chill before
serving in separate sauceboat.
And if you really want to have fun

mind being snubbed by your best

with a round loaf of French bread,
warm from the oven some sweet but

When the weather is warm
enough to start seeds outside, the
cold frame may be used to start
perennial seeds to be in the gar
den in the Fall, or for growing
lettuce throughout the Summer.
When packing a salad for a
picnic, put into tin pail or COW
cred tin can. Make individual
salads in oil paper, pack one on
top of the other in pail or can
and they may be quickly and
easily served.
Half Glove Of garlic rubbed
