Moment

CITING on the end Of the diving
board and wigsling your toss in
the water IL . great temptation. In
fact. It's one Of the pleasures Of life.
But it's one that can only be matched
at rare intervals. For - long q
there Is any one else around the
pool, tl1s diving board should not be
looked upon - settee.
And we'll tell you why, II you can't
guess. It's because some people like
to dive from 4 diving board. And with
. lady on the end Of the board. no
matter how nice she may look IN her
bathing suit. diving becomes impos-
sible.
II it's q private pool, and you can
dash down In the early morning before
any Of the other guests are up, then
you may bask to your hearts content
on the end Of the board. But ~ long

Powder Must Match

that your skin has become darker.
| Remember that the first requisite
OF modern makeup is: Powder must
match the skin tone perfectly II
anything, tone slightly darker than
the skin is permissible, but not lighter.
Lighter powder over a dark skin only
serves as 4 confession to the world
that you are using your Winter make

in itself isn't serious, except that it
does give one that much-powdered
look which Is anything but becoming,
1t also emphasizes skin flaws such as
blemishes and wrinkles. So whatever
you do, change to . darker powder As
your skin darkens. Keep pace with
the sun. Learn to add q little darker
powder and to blend your powde,

Odd Shelves Can Be Fitted
Into Bath Room Corners
"What, no soap!"

"What, no soap!'
1t isn't always carelessness but lack
Of space that makes it hard to keep
the bath room we'll equipped. Most
old-fashioned bath rooms have plenty
Of room for neat stacks Of soap, wash
cloths. towels and other supplies, but
1t requires some ingenuity to find
storage space in the compact bath
room Of the average modern home.
Triangular shelves, either ready
made or the home constructed va
riety. are . good solution to the space
problem because they can be fitted
into otherwise useless corners. Paint
them white or color them to 60 with
other bath room furnishings and you
have a surface as easy to keep clean
as tile.
BY means of some such simple
equipment you can forestall the MUIR
murs Of irritation that issue from
the bath room when you have neglect
ed to replenish the soap dishes or to
put clean towels on the rods.

garrulousness. II the house and in

Nor can old people, no matter how

They are sure that they know best

to tell John just how to run his

Show Must Go On Washington Markets Despite Vacation Da
Teaching
Children
Caution
Mothers Should Be
Careful Not to
Instill Fear.
BY ANGELO PATRI,

IT Is wise and right to teach children
to keep their distance from stran-
gers. But 1t is not wise, nor right. to
frighten them 50 that they are on the
verge Of panic at the sight Of new
face. We ought to be able to teach
children all that is necessary about
this without blighting their lives.
One child's mother impressed him
with the idea that anybody who offered
him candy was likely kidnaper, so
when Jack, the plumber at work on the
pipes IN the cellar, offered him q share
OF his chocolate bar, the youngster
screamed murder much to everybody's
embarrassment and his own keen
suffering.
One rainy afternoon that followed a
sunny morning, little Jane refused to
get into the car OF 4 neighbor who
offered to take her home with her own
little girl. Il can't" said She MY
mother says l mustn't ever get into q
car with you The neighbor was not
very close and while friendly, the two
families saw little Of each other. But
the child interpreted the order to
mean her neighbor along with others,
and walked home in the face Of q
heavy storm.
Why didn't you come in Mrs.
careya car? She stopped and told
me she would bring you"
you told me never to 60 in the car
with her." said little Jane stoutly.
"You did So
Children suffer needless fear about
khe whole matter. They have to be
trained not to 60 with strangers, not
70 take gifts from them. not to talk
TO them about the family. to keep
aloof from them until their standing
with the family has been made clear
one way or the other.
Words have different meaning when
used by different people, especially do
they have different meanings to chill
dren and adults. If you tell child not
10 associate with q stranger, keep
teaching him what you mean by
stranger. The policeman, the doctor,
the nurse, the postman, are not stran-
gers, As the family regards them, but to
the children they will be unless prop
srly introduced and accepted,
1t won't do to tell q child to run
away from any stranger who speaks to
them. Running away brings on panic,
and that is the last thing We want to
do. 1t Is enough to teach the children
70 be reserved with those they do not
know. to speak politely and briefly,
but no more. Children are rarely in
danger when in their accustomed
places. and one should be very careful
when teaching them ordinary caution
not to teach extra ordinary fear.

Consider that carefully.

less desire to over-eat fattening foods
yet you do feel comfortably satisfied.
Second. the grape sugar in welch's Il

to consume excess fat.
Third. the juice has IN alkalizinx effect
