and heart breaking boundary known as arrested development" which keeps them forever juvenile and prevents the natural processes of maturity.
 This is dreary picture, to be sure, but when reasons are given for any particular course, the truth is best. Little children need to de- velop happily. Discipline should be blended with growth, but should not crowd it.
 Our forbear, good grandmother of the past, knew little about all this, but she did the right thing instinctively. Her little red-checker- ed comfort" wasn't being trained" or put on a scientific slab to be analysed. He just grew and had few rules to hinder him. But as he waxed in knowledge, he was ex- pected to conform, and do his share of work. Discipline became part of his lot and a pretty strict discipline, too. He did pretty well, and ma tured early.
 Yet, discipline does have a be- ginning. And it has its place even in babyhood, as I have said. The big idea is not to invert the process of discipline and pile it all on the little child, while we allow adoles- cents to get away with murder.

At New York,s free beauty clinic, the first of its kind, women who cannot afford beauty treatments or even regular medical advice, will be taught that health is the foundatlon of real beauty.
 Mrs. Nancy Hatch, beauty and reducing expert in charge of the Jacob A. Riis Neighborhood Set- clement, says:
 "An important function of the clinic will be instruction in diet. We have discovered that these needy women can be taught to eat vegetables and other nourishing foods which are not expensive, in- stead of stuhang themselves with in- expensive starchy foods, as they are now doing. If we can just educate them in the care of beauty, our work will not be in vain."
 In addition to the instruction on the subject of fresh air, sunshine and cleanliness, those who attend the free beauty clinic will be able to hear lectures on the proper care of the skin, the hair and scalp. It is hoped, Mrs. Hatch points out, that the new idea will gain such momen- tum that other cities will establish similar beauty clinics.
 It's time women in all walks ot life realized that healthy living hab- it's always make for greater beauty. One who sleeps eight hours every night, makes sure that her diet in- cludes plenty of fresh vegetables and salad greens, gets a reasonable amount of exercise and keeps her body scrupulously clean may never be great beauty. but she will cer- tainly be attractive.
 It takes time but precious little money to keep your teeth smooth and pearly white, hair soft and shin- ing, scalp free of dandruff or flecks of dry cuticle. It may be strain on your energy and self-control, but keeping your figure supple and slen- der, hands smooth and skin clear puts practically no strain on the budget. Keeping yourself and your clothes clean involves infinitesimal expense. This is an age when at tractiveness is available to all and sundry.

 Answer-Ah, ah, naughty! By rights, the doctor asks the patient what her symptoms are. Anemia of the brain is just speculation. In fainting, shock and similar states there is insufficient blood supply to the brain-theoretically. It has no special significance. It calls for only such treatment as the patients gen. eral condition may require.

 But it won't matter at all to a young woman who has known two ways of life, instead, of the mar rowness of one.
 For Ishbel Macdonald knew what it was to hold a position close to the top of British society. She knew what it was to be hostess to peers and doplimats at 10 Downing street.
 So she can afford to marry what ever man she chooses-a handyman or a prince. Just as she could af- ford to go from hostess at 10 Down. ing street-to manager of old Flow Inn.
 The Ishbel MacDonalds of the world can afford to do what their hearts and natures dictate Not just what Mrs. Grundy would ap- prove.
 So can other women. But they are old women before they realize it.. For it usually takes either the wis dom of years or a taste of high posi- tion to teach us that we can dare to be ourselves. and make our own choices in the light of what we see.

15 grains of calcium in the quart Of milk-is well suited to the human assimilation.
 Nutrition authorities, not a bly Prof. H. c. Sherman, believe that the ordinary mixed diet of Amer1- cans and Europeans, especially dwellers in cities and towns, is prob ably more often deficient in calcium than in any other chemical ele- ment. This is in part attributable to the tendency to stint the allow ance of milk in the diet, from mis- taken notions of economy or in some instances from miSguidance.
 A ten weeks course of calcium lectate treatment-ten grains after food three times day or thirty grains after food once a day-has proved extraordinarily beneficial in numerous common ailments, such as hay fever, asthma, hives, angioneu- rotic edema, migraine, adult tetany Ceg cramps), hyperesthetic :hini- tis and various allergic conditions. Such experience supports the as sumption that some fault in cal cium metabolism, assimilation, utili- zation is at least a contributing cause to these troubles.
 We know that an adequate daily ration of vitamin D is essential for normal calcium assimilation, ab- sorption, metabolism, utilization in the body Vitamin D is the sun shine" vitamin-so- called because, ii you are exposed to direct midday sunshine your skin will generate more or less vitamin D under in- fluence of the invisible ultraviolet raysrays. But few individuals can manufacture sufficient vitamin D for the requirements of health by such means, in our climate and under our civilized restrictions.
 No natural foods supply enough vitamin D for optimal nutrition better than average health-vite. Milk, cream, butter, egg yolk, oysters, salmon, fresh or canned, are prac- tically the only natural foods that contain any vitamin D to speak of, and rarely can any one consume enough of any or all of these to get an optimal ration of vitamin D.

Paris - U.P.) - In riot of col ors and an atmosphere of an Orien- tai bazaar, Vera Borea opens her summer and spring collection with a big flowing burnous like Spahl s cape which is worn over a bright orange and white linen sports dress. The startling feature of the cape is the stitched-up sleeves which hang loose and are used as utility bags, one for bathing suit, the other for towels.
 Knitted hose form beach shoes with rope soles to go with the latest bathing suits, which are in a rubber ized twill, cut very short and fitted like a corselet. Brightly contrasting brassieres appear on top with utility scarfs flung over the shoulders, the pockets of which may contain a skirt or wet suit after the dip.
 All-around pleats on skirts have become a fashion maxim. Vera uses this pleating on a coat from the waist to the hem. The printed dress beneath is rampant with more than 20 vivid colorS.
 Besides redingotes, pleated capes and hip-length jackets are shown smart boleros for daytime wear. One amazing printed bolero has a design depicting a dinner story from the preparation to the serving. The opening figures are four two-inch- high cooks with high white hats against navy background prepar- ing vegetables and meat at kitchen table. The final scene at the hem of the frock is the formal dinner party with all the guests in full dress seat ed around the table.
