.BEAUTX-- GIorfiing
 Yourself
By Alicia Hart

With makeup subtle to the nth degree, coiffures becoming less cas- ual by the minute and new fash ions dramatizing curves taking the spotlight, this is indeed spring when hands and nails simply will have to be beautiful.
 The new navy blue street suit, the fuzzy pink sweater you wear with your tweeds, the simple silk dress with the white collar-all of thees demand feminine look ing, lily-white hands and healthy, perfectly manicured nails as much as does the wonderful new evening gown with the daring neckline. It's season to look your best every hour of the day.
 You begin-and sensibly-by feeding your poor warped, crack ing, peeling nails from the inside as well as the outside. You oil or cream them every night with some special preparation, Of course, and you see that they are mani- cured in the gentlest possible man. ner, but you become more diet-con- scious, too.
 You eat generous portions of fresh vegetables. You choose a crisp, green salad in preference to des- sert any day in the week. You drink quantities of milk and plenty of orange juice In other words, you wage war for more calcium, the great builder of healthy, handsome nails.
 Replace the steel file and any other sharp, steel instruments with emery boards (for fling and orange sticks (for cleaning and for pushing cuticle back. Don't let the mani curist use that sharp little hoe-like gadget to scrape dry cuticle away from the base of your nails. If she'll apply an oily cuticle remover and leave it on for few moments, she'll be able to remove the debris quick ly and easily with an orange stick.
 Don't trim cuticle, cut corners too deeply or leave a bleaching prep aration under the nails for more than second or two. And don't let manicuriSt do these either. Cal louses at the sides should be pum- iced. They never should be pared away with scissors or clippers or rubbed too energetically even with pumice.
 Protective preparations to be used under lacquer are new this season. Remarkably adherent. these cling to the nails like an additional nail surface and are supposed to afford a great deal of protection. Find one you like, then apply it over the entire surface of each nail, let dry, then smooth on polish ia the usual manner.

 When he comes back, all con- centrate on the bonnet-though waves fairly zoom through the air. And when Tom starts toward the dairymaid, Dick beats softly on the tin pan. Beating gets louder as he hears the bonnet until he gets the idea-and the dairymaid becomes "it."

 Is visterol fattening? What is the caloric content of viosterol in oil? CD. S.
 Answer - Viosterol is irradiated ergosterlo. Irradiation with ultra violet light converts ergoSterol into viosterol, which is vitamin D. Vios- terol itself is not fattening. Of course the oil it is dissolved in is fattening. Generally, however, only a few drops of visterol in oil is days ration, and that amount can not appreciably affect weight.

proper plan is to draw in good

Dorothy Dix Says
1t Is a Mistake to Be All Mother
And Neglect Your Husband.

OF women who give to their children
all the understanding and tenderness
and love that they have in their hearts
and never even think of showing their
husbands any affection.
The mothers alibi is that the chill
dren are little. helpless and need all
Of their care and attention. while the
husbands are big. strong and capable
of taking care of themselves. Which
is as may be. Sometimes the hus-
band is capable of taking care Of him.
self, out generally he needs his wife
to hold him by the hand and guide him
along the safe path more than her
3-year-old does. Moreover, you can
hire good. reliable, middle-aged
woman to take care Of your babies. but
you can't hire any safe woman to take
care of your husband.
I believe that the woman who pre-
fers her children to her husband makes
a fatal choice for all three of them.
1t is bad even for the children because
children take their opinion of their
father from their mother When they
see themselves exalted above him they
lose all respect for him and he loses
the authority over them that he should
have.
1t is cruelty unjust to the man, for
it deprives him of the love and COM
panionship he had right to expect
from his wife.
And it is bad for the woman because
in the end she loses out. In a few
years her children are married and
gone and then she is left lonely and
desolate, for she has alienated her
husband from her by her neglect and
she cannot rekindle the fires in his
heart that she let burn out for want
of fuel. DOROTHY DIX.

Addressing
Women of
A Club
Word Girls Used
Only at Scout
Meetings.
By EMILY POST.


Dear Mrs. Post: The president of
the woman's club to which belong
insists on addressing the members of
the club as girls Won't you be
good enough to say frankly what you
think OF calling women over 80 girls?
Answer: Not only is 1t quite wrong
because of their age, but equally wrong
because the word girl is never used
in addressing an indoor audience.
Even in addressing class in school,
speaker or teacher addresses the
young pupils as children. and the girls
in the lower grades of high school as
young ladies" and in the upper grades
rs ladies" but never girls" An out
door circle of Campfire Girls or Girl
Scouts would be addressed by coun-
selor or fellow member as girls"
Dear Mrs Post: Is it necessary for
q young manor any man in fact-to
rise and give his seat in street car
to any woman who happens to be
standing near him? I know there
aren't many men who relinquish their
places, but would like straight for
ward answer as to what you think
about this waning chivalry.
Answer: This waning chivalry" is
one Of the payments exacted for
woman's equality with men. Having
herself torn down the walls of the
garden that used to protect her from
the world Of work-and man-and
having gone to work herself. it does

cording to the pleasure Of some older

feelings.
1t is a strain to live as other peo-
pie dictate for hours on end, and for
days and weeks There must be time
for free feeling, time for stretching
the body and the mind in freedom.
That does not mean that the child
is to do what he likes If his likes are
not good, but it does mean that he
has to have free time daily. He can
be trained to Use it for pleasant pur-
poses. He usually can be relied upon
to do so.
All that this requires is q bit OF
organization in the household. A
schedule flexible enough to be usable,
should be set so that all the family
know what is expected of them, and
when. The errands ought to be done
at the specified time, and if any
thing has been forgotten it ought not
to be gotten at the expense of the
child's free time. An emergency will
arise and can be taken care of as an
emergency, but when the thing hap
pens daily it is no emergency matter
just carelessness. q disregard of others
rights and feelings.
Some children never know what q
free hour is. They are made to fill
every minute with some adults notion
