Your Children
By Olive RObsFts Bartom

DO children do better in 6 big family or Q small one? Certainly 1t is best for the child to have coEn- pany and to learn the give and take Of living with others, as early as he can in life, but on the other hand. there are children who need Cer. tain peaceful environment to de- velop to the fullest.
 Yet, the Chinese accent their Inulti-fanily life, because they have a theory thousands of years old, that living in the noise and confusion with all the grandparents, in-laws, and children punched together in one house, develops peace; because it permits self-withdyawai under any circumstances. The Chinese are, individually and collectively, the most placid of people.
 Disposition Dictates Friendships
 Great men have sometimes come from huge families. Again, they have been "oniy" children. The same can be said of the "happiest" men and women. There is nothing to prove that either one or the other Is preferable.
 One thing Is certain-the lone child does need company.
 The company he keeps depends on his disposition, too. Nothing Is more destructive than rough and ready companions who will tramp out al lself-confldence in Q child, if he has too little of it anyway.
 Where there is one shy and sen- sible child in the family of several children, he learns Q kind of tolera- ton for the extravert brothers and sisters. Intimacy never cuts quite as deeply as mere association. Buddy says, "It's only Jim who hoots when ! whistle" and 50 It's ali right.
 Outside friends are more impor- tant. however, when 1t comes to feelings. Buddy strains to do his best. He Is in 2 more artificial at- mosphere, although 1t is only the

 Does this mean that the cult of the straight line the canon of beauty which has prevailed for so long now - Is about to be abandoned2 That slimmlng and scale-watching, as well as all the minor sacrifices to which women submitted to acquire the modern streamlined silhouette are things of the past? If 50, this is g little revo- lution in the feminine world, but 1t remains to be seen whether women will continue to cling to the straight line, because they consider 1t more youthful.

 Curves, however, are not to be interpreted as a return to popular ity of the Junoesque type of beauty beloved of Reubens, Van Dyck and Jordaens. The new silhouette de- mands just as slim 8 waistline ders and hips must be delicately with the difference that bust, shoul- rounded.
 Vionette is among the leading creators who favor the intensely feminine silhouette. Her day skirts are nearly all bias cut and wide: 50 are her coats, the latter completed by full sleeves, sometimes circular cut and finishing at the elbow Shoulders are still squared and the bust nodded. Very full basques or peplums, sometimes standing away from the figure appear on many af- ternoon dresses and Jackets.
 Most of Vionnet's evening gowna are romantic, with wide. sweeping skirts, often completed by equally wide, flowing capes or long coats Two or three models are distinctly Empire in line, with high bust line and skirt fulness massed center

HE GRINNED. BUT AT THE SAME
TIME HE MADE UP A FACE BE-
CAUSE OF HIS PAIN,
in that first plunge. Now he couldn't
use that leg, and without the use
OF 1t he couldn't fight. All he thought
about just then was getting away,
getting out Of sight of this fighting
fury. He managed to roll out OF sight
under some bushes. Then, on three
legs. he sneaked away a. fast as pos
sible, while snorting and blowing with
rage, Mrs. Lightfoot plunged about,
looking for him.
once far enough away to be sure
she wouldn't find him, Old Man Coyote
stopped to lick his wounds. He was
sorry sight, was Old Man Coyote.
Those sharp hoofs had cut his coat
in several places and he was COW
cred with dirt. But it was in his
feelings that he was hurt most. Yes,
sir, he was hurt in his feelings more
than in his body, and goodness knows
that was hurt badly enough. He was
filled with chagrin.
ITO think that it should be Mrs.
Lightfoot of all people who should
put me to flight" said he to himself.
Has she gone mad? I don't under
stand what has got into her. I didn't
have chance. I didn't have half
chance. What did she pick on me
for? l wasn't bothering her. 1t is
weeks since had even seen her. I
had no idea she was over this way
There am I, going along about my
own business, and, with no warning
at all, she jumps on me. Ouch, how
that shoulder hurts! What has she
got against me? If I had been try
ing to get one of her fawns would
understand it."
Old Man Coyote stopped licking his
wounds. A look Of sudden under
standing broke over his face. He
grinned. but at the same time he
made up face because Of his pain.
"of course" he exclaimed. "she
has babies hidden over there some
where, and she thought I was after
them. must have been very near
them or she wouldn't have shown
herself. Yes, sir, must have been
right close to the thicket in which
they were hidden and she thought I
was hunting them. That was his mis-
take. Had she kept still. I would
have gone on without suspecting she
or they were anywhere about. Now,
my guess Is that there are a couple OF
babies right over there where was
attacked and that they are so young
that they can't follow her about yet.
MY. I would like one of them!" He
licked his lips.

Old MAN COYOTE was in a peck
OF trouble, unexpected trouble
He was the victim Of a furious attack
from the last person in the world he
ever expected to be attacked by. With
no warning whatever, Mrs. Lightfoot
the Deer had plunged out OF q thicket
at him and with her sharp-edged
hoofs had knocked him sprawling.
They had hurt, those hoofs. Yes, sir,
they had hurt. Before he could
fairly get to his feet Mrs. Lightfoot
reared again, and again those hoofs
landed For the first time in his life
Old Man Coyote was afraid Of Mrs.
Lightfoot. Always she had been
afraid Of him. Now she was fighting
fury and the tables were turned. Her
eyes fairly blazed with anger. The
hair on her back and neck was on end.
She looked dangerous and she was
proving to be as dangerous as she
looked.
Old Man Coyote had no thought of
fighting back. Anyway. she didn't
give him a chance to. One of those
hoofs had struck his right shoulder
