Did she present it again and
insist that he finish it before he
begins on his next course?
No, she went on talking as
she fed him his cereal.
"Sonny's been hitting the high
spots this afternoon" she said,
Sonny being 16 months old.
I'VE went out to tea and he
had a few crumbs Of cake and a
few sips of milk, SO I guess the
edge is off his appetite. He's
usually crazy about his tomato
juice"
EATS WITH FAMILY
And with a calm air she re.
placed the partly finished dish
of cereal and milk on the table.
And by the way, John (the
older child is eating much bet
ter" she said. HE used to have
his supper all alone, before we
ate. But one night Sam got
home early so I let Johnny have
dinner with us. And he ate so
much more that I've been doing
that ever since"
It may have been more than
one thing that was responsible
for this.
Perhaps it was partly due to
the fact that this arrangement
moved his supper hour along so
he was hungrier, and partly that
the meal took on an interest
and a sociability lacking before.
There are two points worth
noticing here. One is that chill
dren and even babies have not
always the same appetite and
the same capacity for food.
Sometimes you can perceive
the reason, as for instance the
baby's little spree at the tea;
and sometimes you can't.
REASONS VARY
Reasons vary: food may not
have digested thoroughly from
an earlier meal, elimination
may not have been good, a child
may be overtired, he may not
have been very active; many
things you don't necessarily
know about may account for a
variability in appetite, which we
must usually accept clamly.
The other point is that the
atmosphere of a meal has a lot
to do with the food enjoyment
of those who are eating.

BY HELEN FOLLETT

Is a pretty figure more at
tractive than a pretty face?
Some artists think so. It's true,
however, that no matter how
compelling the feminine face
may be, if the shape is dowdy,
one doesn't make the beauty
grade.
The smart silhouette depends
not so much on lines and meas
urements as it does on carriage.
There is a splendor in the erect
figure, with the backbone posed
neatly and muscles vibrant and
strong. Few women and girls
give this subject sufficient
thought. When the steel-riveted
corset was discarded, the dis
tinguished figure disappeared.
Watch your step-see that it
is light. Don't lope, clump or
plod. It is a shame to have to
say that girls do that, but it is
the dreadful truth. Keep your
socks and your backbone pulled
up. Cultivate a chest that gives
plenty of expanding space for
the lungs. Garry your head on
the level. If you do that, your
frockS will always appear smart
and you'll have chic and flair
no matter what you wear.

Poem
To NV Mother

To My Mother
I've kept a naughty heart
through grief and mirth
md borne my head perchance
a thought too high,
If even a king should look me
in the eye
I would not bend it humbly to
to the earth;
Vet, dearest mother, such Is the
gentle worth
OF thy benignant presence,
angel-mild,
1t ever hath my proudest
thoughts bequiled,
And given to softer, humber
feeling birth.
Was it thy minds calm, pene-
trative power,
Thy purer mind, that secretly
came DER me,
And unto Heavens clearer light
upbore me;
Or did remembrance sting me in
that hour,
With thought of words and
deeds which pierced unkindly
That gentle heart, loving me
still so kindly.
heinrich Heine.

ByMRS.CORNELVUS BEECKMAH

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Il am being married this
month, and we plan on having a
very small wedding at the min
iSter'S house, with only our two
attendants and three other per-
sons present. We would like to
follow this with a dinner for
the bridal group, and after
ward have a small reception
at some hotel for about IS of
our friends, at which a buffet
supper would be served.
II would like to know what
I should do about the we'd
ding announcements. When is
the proper time to send them?
is it correct to send invita-
tionS to a reception when you
aren't sending invitations to
the wedding itself?
my mother is married again
and lives in another city. Should
my stepfather'S name appear
on the announcements? HOW
should the announcements be
Worded?
What would be the correct
wording for the reception invita-
ton?
THE wedding is to be at 5
= o'clock, and am puzzled as to
just what the correct attire
would be for that hour. Would
a dinner jacket be correct for
the groom to wear, and an
ankle-length afternoon dress for
the bride?
us it best to wear a bridal
corsage or to carry flowers?

your announcements all ready
to be mailed directly after the
ceremony has been performed.
Have them engraved, addressed,
stamped. Ask someone to mail
them for you as soon as possible
after the ceremony has been
performed.
Yes, this is thoroughly proper.
Your friends will understand
that, since you are having the
ceremony performed at the
minister's house, it will not be
convenient for you to invite
them.
INCLUDE HIS NAME
It is the best form TO include
the name of your Stepfather in
your announcements. (Appar-

name, although this is usually
included when the surname OF
the bride differs from the sur
name of the people making the
announcement, the names in
the first line.
MOTHER NOT COMING
I judge that perhaps your
mother is not coming to the
wedding, since you do not men
ton this. So you might write
the notes somewhat like this:
Dear Mary,
George and are being mar
ried at the minister's house on
Tuesday, the first of September,
at 5 o'clock, with only our at
tendants present. But in the
evening, at 8 o'clock, we are

friends come to the (...O

Won't you and Tom please say

us both very happy if you will.
A S o'clock wedding is a
"day' wedding, and so it would
be best form, for your informal
wedding, for you to wear an
afternoon dress or ensemble OF
street-length, with a hat. And
your groom would wear a bust
ness suit, preferably dark blue.
A dinner Jacket is informal eve
ming dress after 7 o'clock.
You may carry flowers, if you
wish, but with your informal

better.

EAT WISELY

Skin, hair and finger nails
depend upon the blood streams
for a healthful appearance. The
blood depends upon nouriShing
groceries and a balanced diet,
so eat wisely. Cut down on rich
pastries, load up on fruits, vege-
tables and green salads. Have
meat once a day and fish occa-
sionally. Drink plenty of water.
Oily skins will bear sunburn
better than dry ones. The nat
ural lubricant sent forth by seba-
ceous glands acts as a protec-
tive agent. No girl with a dry
skin should flirt with old Mister
Sun.
The arid complexion rebels
against soap. There are ways OF
tricking it. Give it a dreaming
and let the cream remain on. Dip
the wash cloth in suds and ap-
ply to the skin as if it were a
compress. Don't friction. Rinse
with warm water, dry and give it
another lubricating with a liquid
cleanser.

Advice
To the
LOvelOrn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

The papers have been full of
Romeo and Juliet tragedy
lately. The youngsters names
will not be repeated here, be-
cause the suicide pact failed
so far as the girl is concerned,
and she's had too much pub
licity already. The boy is not
given even a fighting chance
by his doctors.
The girl, white and shaken
from a weeks grapple with
death, went to the hospital to
see her still-unconscious young
lover.
She sank to her knees be-
side his bed and prayed what
must have seemed to his par
ents, keeping their death-bed
vigil, alien and even Sacrlle-
gious prayers. But they didn't
interfere.
DIFFERENT RELIGIONS
Wrangling about how to wor-
ship God had brought about

bling girl Sand the boy. gone
too far in the valley of the
shadow of death" to hear the
girls frantic prayer: Dear
God. only let him live"
These youngsters, neither OF
whom is 20, belonged to differ
ent races, different religions.
They never gave that thought
when they fell in love at high
school, but the parents of each
held rigidly to their own racial
and religious code.
Both their families had come
to this country to escape reli-
gious and political intolerance,
but they brought no iberality Of
thought with them. The boys
family were convinced there was
no other way to worship God
but their way.
FAMILIES AGHAST
And to the girls family other
creedS were idolatrouS. To
them the boys religion seemed
queer and outlandiSh, and the
boys family thought the girls
religion an affront.
The youngsters took no part
in these bitter, Strident discus
sions about the God of mercy,
and how only those who had re-
ceiVed the true faith went to
Heaven.
Girl and boy were having a
little heaven of their own, into
which theology did not enter.
So they graduated from the
same high school and began to
plan for the future. Their fam
lilies were aghast! Impossible!
Their son to marry girl who
was an unbeliever! Why, their
forebears who had suffered
martyrdom for their religion
would turn in their graves.
Friends. teachers, neighbors,
all said they were "Such nice
youngsters" A girl who had
graduated with them in high
school, wondering over such
bitterness and intolerance, said,
so many boys and girls haven't
any religion at all. today, that

glad to have them believe in
