Not
Out
Strain on Child
And Parents
Too Great.
By ANGELO PATRI.

MR.. AND MRS. JOLLY went to
Ava dine with Mr.. and Mrs. Prim.
Gritty, 2-year-old, went along. At
home Gritty sat at the table with her
father and mother and mealtime was
not formal to any degree. Gritty
would reach across and help herself
to a handful Of mashed potato from
her mothers plate and her mother
would say, "Oh. Gritty, right in my
plate. That isn't nice. Look at your
SELF" and then she would take her
napkin and rub Gritty to passable
state Of cleanliness. About then Gritty
might decide that she wanted to drink
her fathers soup; make catch at the
plate; miss it; smack her face against
the table; cry; be comforted; grasp
the edge Of the nearest drinking glass
and spill it. That will be enough" I"
and somebody would carry her OF
screaming murder.
well, what do you expect?" mother
might ask of the unseen audience.
She's only two" And nobody, GER
tainly not the unseen audience, could
question that.
The family arrived at the Prims',
and Mrs. Prim said. Does the baby
eat with the family?" Father looked
at mother and mother looked at him.
Then mother plunged. You see we
are alone so much, and her father
sees 50 little Of her, and she has to
learn"
place q chair for the child, James,"
said the hostess.
I will leave you to imagine what
happened. It ended with triumphant
exhibition Of childish rebellion when
Gritty snatched up the crystal dessert
plate, ice cream and all, and turned it
upside down on her head.
It was not fair to Gritty. nor to
the Prims. nor to anybody else in the
picture. The home standard was the
only one that the child knew. It was
impossible for her even to sit still
through q meal served in formal FASH
ion, had she known what 1t all meant.
As it was, all she could do was behave
in character, which she did.
4WO.yCdI eOlO CIuluIcH SIlOulU IlOL
be asked to 60 to q strangers table
unless the home standards to which
they have been accustomed and
trained prevail there. To place q
child in strange situation, where he
must behave in q way he never be-
haved before, can end in only one way,
the collapse Of the child and the great
embarrassment Of the parents.
Dining out Is hard even on grown
ups, II they tell the truth. Picking
out the right spoon and coming out
even at the end Is something to worry
about for most Of us who have to sit
at strange boards. Each hostess has
her own way Of serving dinner and
only the most experienced dyed-in-
the-mode diners-out feel truly at ease.
Children ought never to be subjected
to such an ordeal. Time enough when
they have reached the stage where
they know enough to watch their
hostess in times Of doubt.
Even at home, If 1t Is at all possible,
relieve the little ones Of the strain of
eating with the grown-up people, and
relieve the weary grown-ups Of the
strain Of watching them. Wait until
they have some self-control, some un-
derstanding Of what Is expected Of
them, before asking 20 much Of them.

forting warmth of too much hair on
the neck that We are cautious about
r1sking a neckline, even though it
might give us a modern streamlined
smartness that would prove captivat-
ing in the extreme.
In Paris women are quick to change
to another fashion once the old one
has become too widely copied. The
wrench woman Of elegance who no.
tlces that some one is wearing a hat
that Is like hers, quickly sets about
making a slight change so that hers
will have an individuality not shared
by another. So 1t is with her coiffure.
She likes to have her hair individually
styled and accepts readily the advice
of skilled hairdresser, who can offer
her something smartly new and dif-
ferent, and yet adapt 1t to her own
type Of features and her texture Of
hair.
NOW word about the relation Of
the new spring hats to the coif-
fure. There is a very close alliance
between milliners and hairdressers
In Paris three famous milliners,
Agnes, Rose Descat and Lucienne Of
Reboux, 60 to Antoine's studio to
study his newest coiffures for inspira-
ton and guidance in creating hats
adapted to the latest modes. It is the
same in this country. The trend in
coif1ures must be studied before the
hats are designed. And the same
holds true of choosing your first spring
hat; have your hair styled first and
then choose the hat to complement it.
Do not make the mistake Of buying
your hat first and then asking some
one to dress your hair to look we'll with
the hat.
Spring hats are made in unusually
small head sizes in order to fit easily
on closely cropped head. The tiny
pill boxes with back bandeaux that
are worn tipped over the right eye
are good examples. The bonnet shapes
worn we'll back on the head look best
without a large puff OF hair below
.---m at the back
Nothing has been said about the
arrangement Of the hair around the
face. That is a matter that easily
takes care of itself. Most women
know how to frame their faces at
tractively. whether or not they can
wear curls on their forehead, or need
softness at the sides. This is a very
simple matter. In fact in many in
stances the same front arrangement
can be continued with slight changes,
with the more closely nodded line at
the back.
A neckline does not always mean
that the hair must be very short.
Often there IS pointed neckline, but
the hair above it IS swirled to the side
with fiat curls placed diagonally
across the back of the head in the
typical Antoine manner. For eve
ming do not be so practical, in fact,
throw wisdom to the winds and be
utterly lovely with lots Of curls and
puffs high on the head. but think of
that coiffure as one for that evening
alone-a dream that passes in the
morning-and do not expect it to serve
you also as practical daytime coif-
fure for the rest of the week. In the
shake out the lacquer, the
powdered gold and silver star dust
that made you so glamorous, and HE
yourself back to the salon for your
smart daytime head that means so
much in the busy life of every woman
today.

Dorothy Dix Says
Every Girl Should Learn
How to Be a Good Cook.

In domestic life knowledge Of how
to cook Is the answer to the problem
Of how to retain q husbands affec-
tions. In time beauty fades, passion
dulls OF safety. wise-cracking gets to
be bore. even love wears down into
habit, but mans appetite never
fails. 1t is the one thing to which
a woman can always appeal and thus
it IS that you seldom hear of a man
wandering away from his own fireside
after having partaken Of a dinner Of
the things he likes, prepared just
the way he likes them.
Nor do you hear once in blue moon
Of husband getting tired and losing
his taste for wife who is a superla-
tive cook. The way to domesticate
men, as other wild animals. Is by feed
ing them. Any husband will continue
to eat out Of his wife's hand as long
as she keeps good food in 1t.
out lIlc pdIdIIlOullG IeHSOu why
every girl should learn how to cook
is because the health and efficiency
and prosperity Of her family is going
to depend upon how she feeds it. How
the children turn out and whether or
not the husband is a success is Just
as much the result of mothers cook
ing as any natural talents they may
possess.
i
MANY child Is rated stupid at
school because he is filled up on
soggy cereals. Many q boy takes to
drink because he Is undernourished
from lack of good, wholesome, we'll
cooked food and feels the need of
stimulant Many a man loses out in
life because his wife's bad cooking has
turned him into such q dyspeptic that
he can't get along with anybody and
made him 50 pessimistic that he is
afraid to 60 into any new venture.
These, my dear little girl, are some
Of the reasons why every girl should
learn to cook. DOROTHY DIX.

YOUNG girl asks me to tell
her why she should learn how
| to cook. There are about q


\ million good reasons why every
woman should acquire skill in juggling
the pots and pans. one Of which is.
as Owen Meredith said long ago. be-
cause We can live without music,
poetry and art, but civilized man can't
live without cooks.
That makes knowledge OF how to
prepare food the very foundation stone
Of a girls education. Every woman
finds that no matter what her position
in life, no matter what business or
profession she goes into, no matter
how many other things she knows,
the one thing that she always needs
to know is how to cook.
A girl should learn how to cook
because, If she does, she has q trade
by which she can always support her
self If need be. In times Of depression
the market may be glutted with act
resses and writer's and interior deco
rators and stenographers and Office
women, but there are never enough
f1rst-class cooks to 60 around. More
over. even in its lower brackets the
salary Of the cook compares favorably
with other female laborers, consider
ing that she gets her lodging free
and eats as we'll as her employer
does, while the salary of a woman
chef entities her to groan over the
income tax.

hold she deigns to bless with her
presence. A woman may not hesi-
tate to tell her husband Of his faults
and where he gets off. A man may be
grumpy and grouchy with the girls
in his Office and always threatening
to fire them. But they walk humbly
before the goddess Of the kitchen, who
has but to wave her magic wand and
the feasts Of Luculls appear upon their
table. She Is the one woman in the
world who is never afraid of losing
her job.

Baking Cake.

In baking fruit or wedding cakes
which require long, slow cooking, place
q shallow pan filled with water in the
oven. The water will help keep the
cakes moist and give q glaze to their
surfaces. Each cake should be allowed
to cool In the pan in which 1t was
baked.

Making Candy Rolls.

To make candy rolls, shape beaten
penoche or old-fashioned caramels
into one-inch roll. Sprinkle the
roll with coconut, chocolate shot OF
broken nuts and cut into one-inch
slices. Fancier rolls may be made by
f1attening the candy and spreading
it with nuts or other CONNECTIONS be-
fore rolling.

My Neighbor Says:

When broiling steak, slip sew
eral slices Of bread under the
rack on bottom Of broiler pan.
The juices drip down. and when
meat is done the bread Is toasted
a delicate brown and forms q de-
icious accompaniment.
To bleach handkerchiefs, tow
els. etc. soak them overnight In
a solution Of "a teaspoon of cream
OF tartar to each quart Of water.
In repairing wallpaper do not
put on a square patch, but cut
the edges as nearly as possible af-
ter the pattern. II a plain paper,
it Is good plan to tear it. as
this makes thinner edge, which
will stick better.

POTOMAC RIVER BRIDGE
RATED UNSAFE; is CLOSED
Span Between Bloomington And
Beryl Barred To Motor Traffic

The steel bridge across the Potomac
river from Bloomington to Beryl, W.
Va, was closed to vehicular traffic
Sunday by joint action of the Mary
land and West Virginia State Road
Commissions. The bridge is showing
the strain from the constant use of
heavy coal trucks and is declared I'M
safe for traffic AS the bridge is an
interstate one, joint action will be nee
essary by the two commissions for its
repair or replacement. Plans are now
being considered.
The bridge is a single span and is a
steel overhead arch type. 1t is one of
three spans of an old bridge that years
ago joined Piedmont and Westernport
at the site Of the present interstate
bridge.
The West Virginia State Roads
Commission has a number Of men at
work scraping and otherwise repair
ing the road from Beryl to the Pied
mont Elk Garden road, this being the
only practical route now open between
Piedmont and Beryl.
