Household Hints
PARENTS
.RARENTs--
 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

Winter time is hobby time. The interval between school let out and descending darkness is short, and mothers are put to it when sleds are at last dumped on the porch, to know how to keep the children amused. Then there are Saturdays, many of them too stormy for out door play. And long Sunday after moons, when time hangs heavy and books begin to pail.
 As rule boys and girls do not think up their own hobbies. The boy may be interested in building radio set because he has learned it at school, or picked it up from some of his friends; or he may have gotten the stamp-bug through contagion. But mostly he won't think up a hobby unless he is started on the way.
 Girls have less ability to invent their own entertainment than boys, usually. Yet there is nothing that their brothers do that would not make real diversion for them too.
 However, there are enough hob bies to go around. Let's name some of them.
 Being Puppeteer
 Puppets are in vogue. One of the most interesting things about this interesting pastime is the making of the little figures themselves. Of course. sets may be bought, at all most any range in price, but half of every hobby is the ingenuity put into it's creation. I suggest several books on the subject, chosen from the list compiled by Anne Carroll Moore, a few years ago. Marion ettes," by Edith Flack Ackley (Stokes); "Marionettes, Masks and Shadows" by Winifred H. Mills and Louise Dunn (Doubleday); "The Boy Snowman" by Arthur Rose Dutton); Be a Puppet Snowman" by Reno Buffano, Appleton Gen. tury).
 Then, of course, photography is in the air. The child with camera and a developing set is right in style. Books of instructions are now given with most purchases, but there are also many books on new protog- raphy in the libraries and shops, as well as informative articles in magazines and newspapers. about getting results in lighting, exposure and balance of view
 Science Is Another World
 In fact, photography, once en- ployed by the boy CT girl to fill an idle hour, and consisting of snapping a lever at random only when the sun was out, has become a competitive art that keeps the young fan engrossed with new plans and possibilities.
 I know of no more fascinating field of hobby interest than the world of science, If there is micro scope in the house, or the family purse will afford one, then the whole world of cell-growth. ora and fauna, opens by magic. Books for the young scientist might be suggested by the teacher, depending on the field chosen. The study of rocks, of botany or insects need not be left for the. older child. Younger chil dren will be quite as interested If the subject is not too technical.
 Building airplanes, carving and constructing ships, collecting for an aquarium, indoor gardens-an make splendid indoor hobbies. Why not begin now while the winter is mostly ahead?

Lovely Glass Gardens Are,
 Easy to Make

GrOW COTSage or Gar0enlaS
 What a beautiful glass garden! Snowy white gardenias in tropical setting of lacy green ferns and bril- liant foliage plants.
 Gardenias of Towering size placed in terrarium now will bloom through Easter. And for back ground, you'll find the crimson veined fittonia a good companion.
 Remember gardenias like a high temperature. If your room drops below 65 degrees at night, cover the terrarium. Keep soil in gardenia pot moist, but never wet.
 Fascinating ideas for glass and dish gardens are endless. Plan a wee Mexican landscape, set color ful toy people and animals among amusing cacti.
 Use wire forceps to plant tiny cuttings of coleus, begoniaS, ferns in the bottom of an interesting looking, long bottle. Or make a charming little dish garden with just handful of lemon or grape fruit seeds.
 Our 32-page booklet tells how to plant and care for all kinds of ter rariums and dish gardens. Orchids. African violets. Landscapes. Kitch- en herb gardens.
 Send 10c for your copy of GLASS GARDENS AND NOVELTY INDOOR GARDENS to the Water bury Democrat Home Service, 635 Sixth Ave-, New York, N. Y. Be sure to write plainly your NAME, AD- DRESS, and the NAME of book let.

Paris Style Chats

Paris (UPl.-Color combinations are being put through the test tubes by leading designers to strike good opening lead for this year. Schiaparell has achieved a startling effect with especially dyed variations of red.
 There are new polka dots, each dot a vibrant color. Stripes and plaids alternating between sullen and angry shades of red, purple, purple, yellow and green soon may be high fashion for both evening and sports wear.
 Bright citrus-yellow with am ber-gold is amazingly effective in woolen suits. New beige with mud brown and sky-blue with turquoise combination suggest possible trend to one color with it's opposite shades for spring. On the other hand, there was stunning sketch illus trating a rich purple and green formal to be worn with the latest wonder of wonders-a large yellow hat trimmed with purple and green ostrich feathers.
 Flowing mousseline de soie Scarfs of deep red, blue and yellow are colorful additions to day and eve ming ensembles. Draped as hats, they gaily top-off your beach costumes. Tied carelessly at the waist of ankle-length ermine or silver-foX wrap around evening cloak, they set off the superb lines of the furs. Attached at the throat of high necked cocktail dress and allowed to flow to the hem, they give a sophisticated, thoroughly Parisian air.
 Heels of shoes also are receiving special color treatment. Twinkling rhinestone ones for pastel satin or brocaded evening slippers will add sparkle to the dance. Polka-d dotted crepe-de- chine, as we'll as heel-and- instep color contrasts to match gowns, are promised for new spring shoes. Another match will be vari-hued stitches bursting on gowns and footwear like miniature fireworks.

WOMAN,S REALM -
.BEAUTY- .GIorfng
 Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

NEA Service Stain Wrlter
 Once she is past 25, every woman should do daily exercises to strengthen the muscles of her ab- domen. When these muscles are al- lowed to become soft and flabby, it is most difficult to maintain excel lent posture or to regain the stream lines of youth.
 The following exercises, if done regularly and correctly, tend to keep the muscles of the stomach hard and firm:
 Lie on your back with arms at sides. Pull knees up to chest, then kick legs forward, at the same time coming to a sitting-up position with knees straight and arms stretched forward as far as pos sible. Repeat five times.
 Lie face down on the floor with ankles together and hands under chest. Now straighten arms, raise body, putting weight on hands and toes. Lower stomach and hips to the floor, keeping elbows straight. Repeat five times.
 Lie on the right side with ankles together and arms outStretched slightly below shoulder level. Bring feet upward, keeping knees straight and trying to touch legs with finger tips. Reverse, lying on left side. Re- peat five times. Incidentally, this is good for back and neck as well as stomach.
 For slenderizing the hips and thighs, rolling routines are effica- cious. Holding shoulders flat against the floor, cross right leg over left (above the knee), then force right foot upward until it is perpendicular with your body. Feel the muscles of right leg stretch and pull. Keep right hip and thigh pressed firmly against the floor. Reverse, crossing left leg over right.
 Remember, of course, that stand ing correctly keeps stomach muscles in line. Learn to walk with head erect, shoulders square and back bone straight. There should be no exaggerated hollow in the center of your backbone. If you have one, eliminate it at once and see how much f1atter your stomach becomes.

Here is your opportunity to have that lovely cutwork table cloth you've been wanting. The secret of making this easily lies in doing just one square at time. When con- pleted these are then set in the large cloth. So you can make your cloth as simple or elaborate as you like. Number C8526 brings you NUMO hot iron transfers for squares of different sizes as well as napkin designs.

your line about letting us decide what we'd rather do never fools us for a minute. We know you aren't trying hard to please, but are just too lazy to get an evening lined up.
 Please, we like to do some of the talking. All day long we're with women, and we'd like a break in the evening, when we have someone else to talk with.
 We're more impressed if you tell us how nice we look after you've had time to see, instead of tagging it on to Hello, how are you?"
 We may not show it, but we don't like for you to display your ad- miration for the hat check girl. Save that for night when you are a stag.
 If you can't dance (please be very frank with yourself about this) just let that go. Nothing is more painful to a girl who likes to dance than walking to music. The better the music, the worse the pain.
 It's sort of nice when you turn the tables and tell us it was a wonderful evening. It's our duty, so when you say it first, it's some thing special.
 There is our minds picture of the perfect companion for an evening" and if we could do the asking there would be many more of them-eve- nings, that is. Wed be satisfied with one companion.

 T0maso Juice
 Does home canned tomato juice contain the same vitamins factory canned? If not, why not? (B. B.
 Answer-The same, but less vita min c than commercially canned because vitamin c is destroyed by oxidation, which occurs more or less with the home canning process but not in vacuum process.
