Paris. (UP)-Ever since Marlene Dietrich came to town and insisted upon either her initials or name in full being stitched on everything that she bought, an initial craze has hit Paris.
 At Agnes Marlene selected a sports hat with very wide bri-n which completely covers one eye. The crown is shaped into a huge M" which is accentuated by con- trasting bands of grosgrain.
 Noticing the stunning effect of the single letter, Agnes decided to do a whole alphabet of hats. Her "B'' is very smart with two big black buttons for the holes. The ID" is fashioned tip-high on the crown with feathers supporting it up The "G" is distinguishable only from aside view, with the top part of the letter curved over like beak There are two "Rs" on another model, one shaped of velvet, the other embroidered in red. Crossing the "T" on both sides is a narrow band of ribbon which ties Sub-chir into a flattering bow.
 Wide leather belts are being fashioned to allow. your full name around them, or, if you prefer, you may have a large buckle with two or three initials.
 Stunning sports gloves are being made to order with tumble of let ters constituting your name em- broidered on them. Other smart gloves have names with five or ter letters fasrioned on the fingertips

Betty's in a dither about that good night kiss. She doesn't want to let on this is her first big two- some.
 But in another second she'll re- gain her poise, say laughingly, Not tonight, Jim" For she knows boys like to date girls they admire And if she gives Jim that kiss he seems to want so badly, he'll think she'll kiss any boy.
 Practise the smooth friendly man. ners that make boys proud to take you out.
 When a boy is shy about asking to call, clever girl invites him to an informal party at her house. By inviting fewer girls than boys she avoids any suggestion of pairing off. Suppose there's big formal shes dying to attend. She invites a boy who has taken her out several times. She hands him the tickets before they leave her home, spares him em- barrassment by paying for little ex- tras in advance.

The more she sleeps, the more likely the painfully thin girl is to gain the extra pounds she needs to make her figure softly curved in stead Of flat and angular. However, the catch is that more often than not, extreme nervousness often ac- companies an underweight condition making how to get to sleep quickly one of her major problems.
 A young screen and radio star one of the few who worries about losing weight rather than gaining it confideS that her greatest difficulty is in relaxing. She adds that unless she can re- lax, her keen appetite for food is impaired and sleep is impos- Sible.
 The slender star (shes be thin instead of slender if she didn't eat five times a day and sleep nine hours every nighD recom- mends relaxation exercises to re- lieve nervous tension and thinks that tie ideal one is the alternate swimming and floating routine When a pool is not available, she suggests this exercise:
 Lie on bed with arms at sides. Lift arms high above head, then let them become as limp as possible and fall down on the bed. Now left legs, relax them and let fall in similar manner. Repeat five times with arms, five with legs.
 The actress follows her relaXa- ton exercises with a warm bath and finishes with cologne rub down. She sleeps without pill low and tries not to worry about tomorrows problems once she is ready to go osleep. If she sim ply cannot sleep, she switches on the light, sips another glass of warm milk, reads until she does feel lrowsy. Keeping the light on and reading makes her less taut and nervous than twisting and turning this way and that counting sheep or whatever.

an iota. A lot of camouhaging is going on.
 This is not going to be a lecture against emotionalism, but rather a little discussion of it. Psychologists say solemnly that mothers should control their feelings, but never vet has one been able to give per feet recipe for doing so. am going to suggest that you stop being de- pressed when you can't; or refrain from being disappointed, lrrltated, over-excited, filled with self-plty, or any of the rest of it. If I could tell you how to govern your feelings, then I would have the right to ask that you try.
 Happiness Despite Emotions
 But instead I shall make a small effort to show you how you can live with the emotions you have, and help your family to live with you.
 Some mothers are abnormally nervous. The majority, however are even as you and I, who have our justifiable weaknesses, our good days and our bad ones. We all want to be happy. We are told that the happiest people are those, who don't feel" anything too much and keep their eyes turned out, but I doubt it.
 I have known a number of such women, and so have you, but 1t is still a moot question with me ! whether their families are hap

pier than those of sensitive or more emotional mothers. Chil- dren used to this type of level personality may escape lot of suffering but they miss some thing, too. I have lot in com- mon with the sensitive woman who feels things keenly and whose heart gets to sinking on rainy days, but who also can top the world on a morning when the sun shines.
 Let Off Steam
 However, we really do a lot of damage to ourselves and our fam lilies by jumping from this mood to that and becoming as unpredic- table as bank night. I suggest that when one gets to the bottom of her courage, or at the end of her rope, she might croak out a song. It isn't too hard to pull ones self up by ones own boot

straps. Or when self-pity blots out the sun completely, to go over and help Mrs. Jones with her sick husband. Or put on a hat and just take walk, even though the ironing is only half done.
 Monotony begets half our emo- tional overflow. Don't wait until you explode all over the place and scare the children, but let off steam some other way. Don't fight it. Just replace it.
 The big enemy of all happiness is self-pity. It's bad, very bad. But I'd rather be the feeling" kind, who understand other peo- ple's troubles, than the too-well- poised mother who cannot un- derstand the moods of her own family.

WOMAN,S REALM .
Give Children Hand In Choosing Wardrobe

BY MARIAN YOUNG

NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 New York.-The little girl who is allowed to help choose her own clothes is more likely to grow up to be a Smartly groomed, we'll poised young woman than the youngster who never knows what she'll be wearing day in and day out until mother brings it home.
 Naturally, she shouldn't be a,- lowed to pick backless evening dress simply because her older sister has one, or to select color that is just plain unbecoming to her skin, hair and so on. But, when mother rejects these and similar ideas, it's important that the child be told why.
 According to Catherine H. Mar tin, advisor to the childrens' de- partments in Fifth avenue store which especially recognizes the costume problems of teen age girls (and boys, tool, any mother would do well to keep a few rules about her childfen'S clothes firmly in mind.
 Seek Basic Model
 eff you can find one type of dress which is flattering to your small daughter, then, in gen. eral kind of way, stick to that style. Order it in various fabrics and colors, of course, but don't when seeking variations, wander too far afield from the silhouette you know to be best"
 Among Mrs. Martins list of don't" for shopping mothers are these:
 Don't put the plump child in a princess dress. Straight models with yokes, preferably smocked yokes, will conceal her chubbi- ness, be infinitely more flattering. Princess lines are for the average figure. And full-skirted, slim bodiced representations of the dirndl, really are best on the thin little girl.
 Don't put child who has freckles Ill print.
 Don't have bows and ribbons or fussy necklines on the dresses of little girls between the ages of two and six. Simple bodices and plain necklines are more flatter- ing to their chubby little necks.
 Don't try to influence the teen age boy in his choice of slacks, sweaters and so on. Adolescent boys usually are right about clothes!
 Party Clothes
 Don't let a girl between the ages of 12 and 16 wear form-fit- ting, ultra -decollete party dress es. Her shoulders always should be covered. Party dresses can be ankle-length. but they ought to be full-skirted.
 On the subject of party clothes for adolescent children of the So- called difficult age, Mrs. Martin is enthusiastic.
 Dancing school frocks for the ten-year old were inspired by flower girl dresses and communion dresses that French children wear Ankle-length and usually made of dainty materials, like mousseline, organdy, dotted Swiss and printed taffeta (tiny patterns, please), these are utterly charming"
 It's smart to have your daughter wear dancing slippers of bronze kid instead of black patent leather. And the tiny feet of the two to six-ers look sweet in red kid slippers.
 Nowadays, there are more oc- casions in the life of 8. youngster than there were when mother was a girl. These neceSsitate a more extensive wardrobe for the

Still others are clasped at the wrist with initialed pins.
 Even shoes have especially carved buckles or smart tongues which con- tain initials, while the clocks on silk hose spell your name on both stockings.
 Of course. you have always had initialed handkerchiefs and scarfS; now the smart thing is to have both names sprawled across the corners all four corners if you like.
 Smart boulevard shops are show ing dresses with popular names, such as Anne, Mary, Jean, Elizabeth, printed on them in various colors The clip at the neck is 8 single large first letter of the name.

BUYING FRUIT

When buying fruit, choose a larger, more expensive orange. It is always better because it has twice as much juice as the smaller. Smell a pineapple before buying it. Dip your fruit in water when you wash it, don't hold it under the faucet, as you might lose some valuable juice that way,

 50 you see it all depends" say the two-sders. Like any other marriage child marriage can be a success or it can be failure" They forget entirely that there is more to success ful marriage than staying married. One couple hasn't gone to the divorce courts to De sure And yet are such marriages successful-Judged by any clear thinking standards? Can child meet responsibilities with more than a child'S mind and judgment? Can man share his emotional life with child as successfully as with a woman? Can an immature little girl be successful mother? May child born of such a marriage expect the guidance he will need in the coming years? Is it possible for child to lead child through So the parallel cases prove nothing at all.

Because of this, Mrs. Martin thinks "cos- tune dress is economical. She's sponsoring for spring peasant type dresses for such use.

KEEPING APPLES WHITE

When you are using cut up ap- ples or are peeling apples, keep a glass of lemon juice and water near by to dip the small pieces in. Lemon juice and water will keep the apple from turning brown for an indef1- mite period. Then you can get your fruit cup ready ahead of time and not worry about having brown apples.
