Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

T know that Mary won't be happy when her cousins come to visit," said Mary's mother. "she always has to share her room, and she loves order and peace. Her cou- sins are younger and they make so much noise she can't read. feel sorry for the child when they are here"
 In such 6 case I am not going to advise ways and means by which Mary may escape. Instead this is to suggest that fate descending in the form of noisy cousins is one of the best things I know to rouse this girl out of her drowsy sleep of self ish comfort.
 Not that 1t is always selfish to be comfortable and contented. No indeed, but we must watch out for the ever-narrowing circle that crowds out the normal. h. convenience can be spelled so many ways. And the lone child, pr one who lives in large enough house SO that dispositions never have to make room for others, may very easily learn to resent any intrusion.
 Happiness Unselfish
 No child should harbor fixed Ideas of happiness. He, or she, has to learn to be happy, not en- tirely along the lines of his own desire, but in what may be con- sidered reasonably fair by others.
 Were we to ask any young child what would make him com- pletely happy, he would probably say, Candy, movies, @ pony, do as I please and have everybody do as I say" He can match up e-Gy dream of ours with a min- iature dream of his own. We-all would escape, if we could, the pressure of everyday life.
 It is @ natural trend for any but the most active child, to indulge the hermit instinct which means more the recommendation of ob- legations than of blessings. This girl has been conditioned to have what she likes when she likes it, and, except for agreeable daily routine, never has had to over- come her selfishnness. Life rolls along her way, day after day, and when she is suddenly jolted out of her snug little program, she can- not help resenting 1t.
 Bloisters Must Open
 She is not to be blamed, be- cause every mothers son of us would be the same way if we had a chance. It is merely a mistake to allow any child to live and grow up in completely self centered atmosphere. Inconven- fence is good for every boy and girl. Enough of it will alter their ideas of happiness. In time they will learn that it is possible to be happy the other persons way as well as their own. Mary would be quite as happy trying to be a good little hostess and making the visitors as welcome and com- fortable as possible, once she got out of her hermit rut and away from a fixed idea of comfort.

scuth's problem would have been entirely solved had he decided to make a very bad play, namely to finesse against the queen of trumps in the East hand. The bad play would have worked and then seven could have been made.
 However, if 1t failed East would cash the setting trick immediately. When the dummy went down it was at once apparent that the slam was a laydown, if the spade queen dropped on two leads. This was the chance for which South naturally and correctly played.
 However, 1t did not drop, and South now had to give up all hopes of seven and look for a way to make six. The only chance lay in estab- fishing a club in dummy on which his losing heart could be discarded. sTo do this both East and West must

 Elegance in Suits
 Molyneux's tunic jackets, with or without fur hems, are essentially elegant. His invisible center fasten- in extending from throat to hem of- fers a direct contrast to the double breasted, many buttoned jackets sponsored by other important cou- turiers. Patou, on the other hand, has gone in for asymetrically fast ened jackets, buttoning high on one side, this movement often stressed by the fur trimming.
 Paquin's suits often achieve a waisted effect by intricate scanning inside the jacket which forms a corselet effect above the waist and about halfway down the basque at the back and sides. Creed fastens his jackets with anything from six to twelve buttons in a straight row or forming an inverted triangle, while some of his heavy silk suits feature only one button, fastening at the waistline. Vionnet has several jackets that button well over to the side.
 Jackets of the swagger or reefer inspiration are also featured for fore maj wear. Some have backs and sleeves in contrasting fabrics, such as velvet and broadcloth. These are more usually wrist lenth or finger tip length.
 Black Is Smartest
 Fur trimmings vary from the very narrow edging in flat fur in astrak- han or beaver, to the wide, often padded bands of the same fur used vertically and horizontally. High fox collars and revers are in again, often with pockets to match. Maggy Rouff's formal suits are un- dulating fur basques and many of them show touches of gold or pail- lette embroideries combined with black astrakhan for example.
 Broadcloth and velvet, alone CT combined, are the most favored me- diums for afternoon suits. Black is once more to the fore as the smart- est "color" with the new deep wine shades next in importance. Dark green, the green of the fir tree, and slate gray are also new and some- time; featured for formal wear. There is no question, however, but that black will lead as the most elegant of all.

SIMPLE CHRONIC .RHINITIs

0ANX LIE NAANONAN ~N1ANA4AO
 Simple chronic rhinitis formerly vied with constipation and dental carries for the distinction of being the most common complaint. I have 8 vague impression, without signi- ficant statistics to support 1t, that there is less simple chronic rhinitis today than there was thirty years ago.. I do not think this is due to the more frequent diagnosis of "sinusitis" today, but rather it is my general observation that young children are not so frequently sup- ject to chronic sniffles as children were generation ago. I would att tribute this. to the gradually im- proving hygiene of the home Slowly but surely the light is per- meating the home and many of the old superstitions regarding ven- tilation, drafts, heating, exposure, dampness and going out without excessive clothing are fading. I am no optimist. do not expect to see good hygiene everywhere until the last of the old guard in medi- cine passes away. But I am con- fident 1t won't be long now. Any way, in spite of the old guard, nearly everybody now knows that at least some alleged "colds" are caused by infection. That's prog ress, considering.
 Characteristic manifestations ot simple chronic rhinitis or nasal cataarrh" are CD nose becomes stuffy with trifling euvironmental changes, change of clothes, draft dampness, etc.; (2) excessive nasal discharge; (3) victim generally in- sists he takes cold easily" though in fact all the symptoms he calls 'cold" clear away and ar forgotten in an hour or two when the cus- tomary environment is rest ored; (4) first one side, then the other side of the nose seems nearly or quite stopped up, whenever the victim tests by breathing with ore nostril closed.
 Simple chronic rhinitis common ly accompanies adenoid and tonsil enlargement in children. Both cause and effect call for more vitamin D in my judgment, just my personal opinion. Some good doctors and re- search workers hold the same opinion. Most of the old guard will reject it as a durned newfangleo notion. There are various ways tc get more vitamin D, and more will never hurt child or adult, so it 1: at least worth trying before you rush into the operating room uIl- der the supervision of your old guard practitioner. There is little but only a little, to be had in fresh whole milk, cream, butter, egg yolk and fresh or canned salmon Cod, halibut or other percomorphi in fact all sea fish liver oils and the body oils of some fish, are the richest sources of vitamin D. Sym thetic vitamin D, produced by i-- radiating ergosterol in various foods with ultraviolet light of cer- tain wavelengths, is in all respects equivalent to natural vitamin D unit for unit, so far as I can learn and much less repugnant to take for synthetic vitamin D is prac- tically tasteless, and may be taken in a bland oil solution, each drop of which contains 300 units of vitamin D. or in a yitamtn D in- halant which is taken by simply droppingfi a drop or two in each nostrii twice . day.

 The ace and king of clubs were cashed, and then a small club led from dummy. East discarded a dia- mond and South ruffed. Dummy was re-entered with the diamond queen and another club led, East discarding again, South ruffing.
 The nine of clubs was now estab- lished. The dummy was entered with the ace of diamonds and the nine of clubs led. Whatever East played, South discarded his losing heart, thereby making his contract.
 Had East played his trump on either the third or fourth club leads, South, of course, would have dropped his losing heart.
