Household Hints - WOMAN,S REALM Latest Styles

 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

If babies were born without voic- ! es, mothers would not think they were any more trouble than grown ups. But crying makes us nervous and when we are nervous, all work seems twice as hard.
 Even though they have quiet in- tervals, there is the constant ex- pectancy in the mothers mind, and this IS quite as wearing. It is hard to believe that the nervousness of adults is contagious, and that a jittery mother can fill her baby with some sort of waves that upset him, but 1t seems to be true. remember well, when a doctor made me indignant one time by saying, "The baby has no collie. What you need is sleep. When you are less nervous, she will be as good as gold"
 Through the years I have watch ed 1t work, and now 1t does not take a baby specialist to convince me that 1t is true. Of course, if baby has collie, he has 1t. But this hap pens, too; if he has been having bad pains at 6 regular time each day, or night, he gets scared if even 8 slight twinge wakens him. He anticipates more, and he screams, Long after he is well over the collie stage, he may continue his crying at the same time, from habit.
 If Only Cries Were Songs!
 All babies cry a lot. They have to. If only nature had made these little insistent yells into chirps, or soothing melodies, 1t would be much easier for everybody. But nature didn't, so we have to make the best of 1t. Uf
 Babies are as smart as can be, too. It is lovely to be rocked, or carried or cooed to. It is pure smartness that prompts them to voice their indignation if this is not forthcoming after they have been led to expect 1t.
 The sick cry is usually a whin- per or sudden scream, not 8 lusty yell. If the baby has pain, usually there is some movement of the body that will tell the mother that he is suffering, and just about where.
 Temper-crying is continuous, loud and usually increases in volume, as the minutes pass. If the baby has been fed, changed, and is comfort able in every way, with no pains or chafing or tight binding clothes, the sensible thing to do is to let him cry.
 Mother Must Be Victor
 When he finds that he won't be picked up or bounced about, he will very probably stop in twenty min- utes, or half an hour, at most, when he discovers that 1t is of no use. But his lasting powers must not be greater than ours, or all is lost.
 Mothers are afraid of rupturing, but actually, unless there are indi- cations of trouble, few children rupture themselves this way, the doctors tell Us now.
 The "spoMed" baby takes 6 few days to get his Indignation out of his system, and then all is lovely again. Unless he is really ill, or not getting enough food, there is no reason why mother should be constantly nervous and worried. (Have the doctor check on his for- mula.) And she must remember that the calmer she Is, the better baby will be.

' '"W WOVEN PATTERNS

In the days when truly tub and sunfast dyes were scarce and costly, printed patterns were con- fined mostly to cheaper grades of shirts. Today the implication of poor quality with printed pat- terms has little basis in fact. Dyes and printing technique have been so perfected that the quality of 6 shirt is determined more by fine- ness of material, cutting and fin- ishing than whether the color was woven in or printed on. Actually Q printed shirt of fine count fabric is better value than @ woven-pat- tern shirt made of low-count cloth.

Glorityimg Yourself
By ALICIA HART

Large pores are caused by two things: improper cleansing or lack of stimulation, or both. All types oi skin-dry, young, old, oily, normal seem to be subject to them. Gen. erally they indicate sluggishness or if you like, skin laziness. Founda- tion lotions are not, as you are likely to hear now and then, con- tributing factors. Neither are clean sing creams.
 A good skin tonic (sometimes called 8 mild astringent, sometimes a refining lotion), patted on vigor- ously once a day usually will cause pores to shrink back to normal. Ii must be used day in and day out for months, however. Overnight miracles just don't happen.
 Tn addition to daily applications of tonic, use a mask once 8 week These exercise the skin, too, i'm proving color as well as texture.
 Check up on your cleansing methods. At night. wash with soar and water, apply night cream. work ing it in with downward motions on the throat, upward and outward strokes on face and forehead. When some of 1t has been absorbed, re- move the rest with tissues. then use tonic. If your skin is oily, first cleanse with cream, wash carefully pat on tonic. Do massage steps dur ing the cleansing.

ton Is that he has made no mistakes,
that the recession Of business Is not
the fault Of his policies. but Of busi-
ness itself. Faced now with . really
desperate state Of affairs apparently
his pride will not let him whole-
heartedly take the steps necessary
and which he knows to be necessary
to deal with 1t. He cannot bring him
self to go "the distance" His friends

The question is whether, with the ma
ton on the brink Of bankruptcy, pre-
serving the presidents pride and saw
ing his face are going to prevent saw
ing the country, no easy thing at best.
The really encouraging sign is the
demonstration Of sentiment among
the presidents adherents in congress,
who are convinced for the vital need
for immediate action. It may be that
at this session congress will supply the
leadership and the president do the
following. That wouldn't be SO much

Washington, Nov. %. - Secretary
Honest Harold" 1ckes has just under
taken to assure top officials Of PWA
and the Interior Department that they
are not being subjected to wire tap
ping, dictaphone planting and other
espionage.
The results Of this gesture were
rather more startling than anyone
expected.
lckes acted to solve q cockeyed
situation. Responsible, highly-paid
officials were complaining to each
other Of tapped telephone CONVEX
sations, Of surveillance Of visitors to
their offices and Of being shadowed
outside.
Some officials even had private elec-
tricians search their offices for pos
sible dictaphones or hidden wires.
Ickes himself, apparently to make
sure no one was shopping without his
knowledge, had the telephone COM
pany check important offices recently
including his own.
Adding Goals to Fire
So the secretary summoned several
dozen officials to departmental con-
ference. He said he had heard some
were disturbed by talk Of wire-tap-
ping and dictaphones, that there had
been some of that once. but wasn't any
more. He hadn't delegated the au-
thority for such measures to anyone;
he had retained 1t.
Assistant Secretary Theodore A.

plcion dispelled, that rumors had been
rife and that he himself had been

In a blind fury, Ardath struck

All he had wanted was to paint
like this. Well, he wouldn't have

She would leave before he cane
back. Just as soon as it was light.
But she would leave q little re-
minder Of her visit.
With quick, savage fingers, she
tore the picture from the easel,
rolled it tightly and went over to

For a moment, smoke curled
about the canvas. Then, greedy
flames leaped up.

Some Of her dark mood began
to drop from her like a too-heavy

big hurts came, petty considera-
tions were washed away, like small
ripples lost in the heavy roll Of
the sea.
Here she was turning into 67th

powdered heavily, with snow. And
Jill had stopped her car at the
curb with a funny little quiver Of
fnervousness-this was the address
Patty had given her.
Behind that closed door was

He would be angry about that pic

get farther with crying.
She had slipped into her dress,
