mothers who spoil their daughters

From IA to 20 should give girl
father and mother who had intel

1 would give her all the pretty clothes
and the good times that could pos
sibly afford. because that is the play

whole existence that she will be care
free and have no responsibilities and
when she will have an unslaked ap-
petite for pleasure. would want
her to have this glamour period to

IRON 20 to 40 would give her

work that would keep her hands so
busy she would not have time to
think about whether she was happy
or not I would fill her days with
vital interests: with making her family
happy and comfortable; with keeping
up with her husband and helping
him make his fortune; with develop
ing her own abilities: with civic work:
with making friends. with all the thou

modern womans life and make it
exciting and worthwhile.
And after so / should give the
woman certainly enough money on
which to be Independent of her chill

with courtesy and consideration by
all with whom she came in contact.
But beyond that I would give her
serenity of spirit and contentment
and the ability to accept age and its

Twist Torso
To Reduce
Strong Measures
Needed to Keep
Figure Slim.
Photos from charmante Studio, N. Y.
By ELSIE PIERCE.

As ONE reader very aptly puts it:
Fashion gets more and more
heartless. 1t has come to such pass
that there is no knowing where waist
lines are going. They are up near the
bustlin, down near the hipline or they
aren't at all. And I mean not at ALL"
To all of which can only answer
right We scoffers who used to call
grandmother practices inhuman!
How we wish life were as easy as get
ting into whalebones and counting on
bed posts to do the pulling Now We
have to go to the mat for q waistline,
or better yet, for the lack Of one.
However. if we want mo waistline
at all' and want 1t badly enough, a
few weeks of torso twisting will do
the trick
First-in standing position, hands
at sides. Raise on toes, flinging arms
upward, palms facing each other Now
still on toes, try to keep your balance
as you bend forward from waist and
try to touch fingers to floor. palms
facing the body. 1t is going to be hard
at first. Repeat six times. Rest.
When you have mastered the touch
ing fingers to floor in front of you,
act, try twisting the trunk to left side,
touching the fingers to the extreme left
and gradually working around until
the fingers touch floor in front of you
and over to extreme right. This will
probably give you slight kink in the
back.
That done, try rotating the trunk
with waist as axis and hands on hips.
Forward-right-bac
Now-down on the mat, for fair.
Flat on back on the floor. Bring knees
to chest. See what that does for
abdomen and waist
Next-hands on hips, fiat on back on
floor. Come to sitting position, with
out moving legs and bend over touch
ing fingertips to toes. II you feel q
good old-fashioned tug at the waist
line that means it will soon reach the
vanishing point.

or three times week. And, during
Lent, such a choice is especially con-
venient.
You might begin with new bottled
vegetable juice cocktail that has just
appeared in local shops. 1t is combi-
nation of beet juice, tomato juice, cell
cry and carrot juice and one or two
others. 1t is seasoned with vegetable
and celery salts. Chilled, it proves
to be perfectly delicious and may be
drunk for breakfast as we'll as first
course before dinner.
If you want to do the thing really
well, have your vegetables prepared
without salt and without butter
Squeeze little lemon juice over them
if you must have extra flavor. Cook
them in as little water as possible, so
that all the juices and taste may be
retained. You might have caulifloWer,
two or three stalks of endive, leafy
spinach, shredded carrots. small
head of lettuce cooked whole, and cab
bage. Or you might prefer peas. as
paragus, broccoli, leeks or spring
onions, yellow squash and red cab
bage.
A good way to give yourself this
vegetable platter is to save few
vegetables, uncooked, from each of
the family meals for a day or two.
Then you will have just enough Of
each for an individual portion and
plenty of variety to make the thing
interesting, with no appreciate in
crease in the food expenses.
If you are still hungry after your
vegetable platter, have light mixed
salad of cress and lettuce, with lemon
juice, or an infinitesimal amount of
French dressing. And you might add
a slice or two of whole wheat bread
if you like.
IF YOU can't face the idea Of unsea-
soned vegetables, and are hard
working person who really needs
something good and substantial in
spite of Lent, try this recipe:
LENTIL CURRY.
pound dried lentils
large onions, sliced
y cup fat
tablespoons curry powder
tablespoons cold water.
Look over lentils carefully, throwing
aside imperfect ones. Cover with
fresh cold water, soak all night. In
the morning, drain. Cook in large
amount of salted boiling water for
about three hours, or until tender Keep
covered during cooking process. Drain,
and force through sieve. Season with
salt. Saute the sliced onions In the
fat until lightly Drowned. Remove
fat, mix the curry powder and water,
add to fat. Add the lentil puree and
heat thoroughly. Serve over steamed
rice, and top with the sauteed onion
slices.

Of Child Is
Military Obedience
Has No Place in
Family Life.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

| THERE are people who pride them
selves on their iron-clad disci.
pline. Those who say, You pick ur
those blocks or I'll spank you well,
| feel righteous about it down to the
last tantrum. Such parent is for
ever the lawgiver, and every law car
| ries its penalty. Don't cross the
street to play with those young ruff
fans. II you do I'll make you stay on
the porch every day for a week
Hereafter you get down to breakfast
at 8 o'clock, on the dot, or you'll *
to school without anything to eat
Such edicts always fail, and the pun
ishments bring rebellion to the fore
But the mistaken authority holds
grimly to the right as he sees the
right.
1t is poor method to pursue. Chill
dren are normal human beings, but
1t is not normal for people to Jump
at the sound of the voice, to leap at
the tick of the clock, to bow to frown-
ing majesty with smiling servility
It is normal to take time to consider
to adjust oneself to the situation, to
want to feel cooperative rather than
oppressed. Order boy to stand up
IN such a manner as to convey to him
that it is your will that is to be done
and not his, and he longs to. sit down
He does sit down in the only respect
that counts, mentally. The voice has
gained nothing worthwhile, but has
set the oppressed once to thinking
how he can free himself.
Military obedience is essential in
war. Family life ought to bear no
hint OF that sort. Under its influence
love dies and beauty flies out the win
dow. The only obedience that mat
ters is the obedience of the spirit.
The only way with child is the way
OF loving cooperation on both sides.
That's all very fine, but what are
you going to do when a child sits
down in the middle of the street and
won't get up?" I'll pick him up and
carry him to where I can set him
down in safety and then I'll go home
and search my relationship to this
child to discover what I have been
doing to make him feel rebellious to
my leadership and authority. I'll
probably find that have been acting
like an army sergeant. Then I'll set
about gaining the child's cooperation
and cheerful, willing obedience. Any
other sort isn't worth the getting.
The essence of living is the feel
ing Of self. The freedom of self is
the Joy of existence. Rob a human
being Of that and he feels himself
hurt beyond cure A child has that
feeling strongly, though he cannot
express it save in terms of disobedi-
ence. defiance to authority, open re-
bellion. Respect for his personal feel
ings, consideration for his weaknesses,
sympathy for his disappointments, the
strong love that lifts while it COM
forts, will clear the difficulties. De-
termined disobedience is always the
signal of an oppressed soul striving
to escape.
There are few times, rare. emer-
gencies, when sharp call for instant
obedience is necessary and a parent
need never fear the lack of prompt
response from the child who has been
reared under the right hand. His in
telligence is free to respond, and does
SO. Force kills the spirit, and it is
by the spirit we live, child and man
alike.

The Old Gardener Says:

Although peas need an early
start, they should not be planted
until the ground has become warm
and is dry enough to crumble
when spaded over. Choose light,
sandy part of the garden for the
early peas; the late ones will pre-
fer a moister. richer soil. Old,
well-rotted manure is a good fer
tilizer for peas, especially if it is
put on the ground in the fall and
spaded in. Avoid using too much
manure or highly nitrogenous
fertilizers on rich, wet soils.
Hardwood ashes make a good fer
tilizer for peas. Chemical fertil-
izers are entirely satisfactory.
The early. wrinkled peas should
be sown at the rate of about 10
seeds to foot in rows at least
2 feet apart.
