Warming to
Women and
Children
Don't Touch Should
Be Law for Adults
and Youngsters.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

JUNIOR, aged 2, satisfies his ex-
ploring urge and his curiosity by
burning the tip Of his finger in spite
Of mothers admonitions that "It's hot,
don't touch" But Junior IS quick to
learn his lesson, and no amount Of
coaMng will get him to 60 near the
heat-conducting object = second time.
But grown-ups are different.
They're as quick as Junior to make
the mistake first time. But not as
quick to avoid repetition. Don't
touch" ought to be a beauty bylaw.
You've seen women. many Of them
otherwise thoroughly nice women,
too. touching their faces the live
long day through. 1t looks ugly. It
reflects on lack Of poise It tells a
tale Of nerves" It unnerves the
spectator. But that isn't where the
damage lies
II there happens to be scratch
or cut or even tiny abrasion In the
skin. and If the fingers happen to be
harboring germs Gas fingers usually
do yes, even the cleanest of
flngers) there is definite danger of an
infection.
We warn women and children to
| avoid touching the face under the
most favorable circumstances. But
in the case of pimples or postules this
warning should be strictly needed.
For there Is 30 much danger Of the
infection becoming reinfected and ag-
gravated, also Of multiplication.
Have you ever seen doctor Cat a
children's camp, for instance) treat
ing minor scratch-the sort Of
scratch that the average woman would
dismiss without so much as thought?
Notice how carefully he cleanses the
area and the surrounding skin, then
he applies an antiseptc and iodine
not only to the scratch proper, but
to the surrounding area. There are
two reasons for doing this-if the
antiseptic IS not strong enough to
immediately kill any germs, at least
1t Is potent enough to check further
development. Do you think the doc
tor does this because he Is hnicky or
overcautious? No! He merely knows
that a minor scratch may become an
infection and SO he guards against 1t.
Yet women nonchalantly squeeze
pimples and postules, without the
necessary precautions, without using
an antiseptic and iodine on surround
ing skin, without securing hands be-
fore and after and using several It's.
sues and using pore-closing anti
septic afterward. Because Of the
danger involved I feel that women
should intrust this work to an ex-
pert only, instead Of attempting to do
| It themselves. It Is better to use q
drying cream or lotion and let well
enough alone. Let the best rule be-:
Don't touch!"

be darned If I like listening to a dia-
tribe against women who are the

Answer: Probably the reason that
girls resent their boy friends showing
any attention to their mothers Is
because they want to monopolize all
OF their time and money. The thought
that Tom or John IS giving mother
a good time while they are sitting at
home turns them sour.

NOBODY, however, can explain the
antagonism that virtually all
young women feel against the mothers
OF the men with whom they 60 about.
It seems to be congenital, like the
hatred Of snakes, with which they are
born. No matter how angelic mother
may be, no matter how cordial and
friendly. they look upon her with
suspicion and resentment and are far
more jealous Of her than they are Of
any rival Of their own age.
