CTS is whether or not this little child is capable of Alone obedience. Certainly he is capable at this age. If he won't obey now, he never will. But let us tread softly here. He is like all the rest of us, who give in to laziness, temptation and impulse He won't be perfect specimen.
 Put Pressure On
 The best way is to allow for some little breaks, but on the whole to make him step on it, as we say more firmly, heartless as it sounds This child is old enough to conform more closely to the order. We must be kind. We must be merry. We must be fair. That is all.
 It won't interfere with his love for us, as so many mothers dread just because we insist on obedience The only thing that will jepardize his affection is our crankinesS and great severity.
 Punishment is part of his philoso- phy now, or should be. He will &C., cept his small denials or reprimands as payment for his naughtiness.
 This fourth year (after the third birthday, of all years, should be the happiest in any child's life.

Laurels to the girl whose charm ing manners capture two beaus in one evening.
 Such grand evening; hate to see it end," she says lightly as she bids them both good night. No ef- fusive thank-you's. And if she likes one better than the other, she doesn't show it.
 She's unfailingly gracious. At a party she never turns down a dance with one man, only to sail off five minutes later with another When men rise to greet her as she enters a room, she seats herself quickly so she won't force them to remain standing.
 She's smooth. She never embar- rasses her escort by leaving it ur to him to say when it's time to go home. She knows it's the girls place to suggest leaving a party, to make the first move toward getting ur

 GlorUying
 Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

The new Easter suit and other si:ring ensembles that you like so much and which are so 1attering right now deserve considerate, reg ular, intelligent care. Just as a house that isn't kept in constant repair quickly deteriorates to the point of looking like tumbledown shack, so clothes that are not well groomed" soon lose their snap.
 You should work even harder at keeping your skirt in shape than you did at selecting it, getting the right blouses to wear with it and so on. If it isn't pressed often enough, the slight bulge in the seat of it will become permanent bulge. If it didn't come equipped with lit tie ribbon loops, one on each side of the inside of the skirt band, sew some in yourself. Then be sure al- ways to hang it up by BOTH of these. If you don't, your hemline never will be one hundred per cent straight.
 One who doesn't send her clothes to the cleaner or clean them herself quite often enough just doesn't de- serve to have flattering things to wear. Nothing shortens the life of any dress more quickly than an ac- emulation of dust and dirt. Fur thermore, if you do not use an anti-perspirant regularly, then you nut have dress shields in every cos l tune.
 Just as perfect of detail makes an outfit truly smart, so imperfec- ton of the smallest detail ruins an otherwise nice costume. The veil that is ever so slightly torn makes the handsomest hat look cheap and shoddy. The white blouse that isn't pure white spells the effect of any suit, regardless of how well tailored that suit is.
 Keep a small brush, designed especially to clean suede, in handy place. And never put on a pair of suede shoes or start out with suede bag until you have used it on them. The best clothes brush you can afford is a must Shoe trees like the foot-shaped ones your husband puts in his shoes and shoulder shaped hangers are necessary, too. It's not possible to go to too much trouble to keep your new clothes new.

Latest Styles
Accented With Flowers
Coats Will Lead Easter Parade
BY MARIAN YOUNG

NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 New York = The separate coat is the biggest fashion news this Easter. With al- most all dresses short- sleeved and those with matching jackets in the mi nority, it's a year when a coat is a must in every spring wardrobe.
 There are two fitted and fared coats to every straight one. Some attain the swinging hemline sil- houette by means of impressed pleats which start at the waistline. Others by meticulously pressed knife pleats. Still others by circular or bias treatments. But however they get that way, they are wonderfully hattering, especially to the tall and willowly.
 The newest versions of fitted coats are bloused. Most extreme of these is the bloused silhouette with full ness below as well as above the waistline. However, the coat that is bloused only at the back, retain ing a slim line down the front is sure to be more popular.
 Among the incest straight coats are three-quarters and seven-eighths models in handsome tweeds as well as monotone woolens. And the short dressmaker coat to this type is one of the most utilitarian items in any wardrobe One who gets a straight, boxy tweed in gray and black or gray and white or some equally neu- tral color combination will wear it, season after season, over country as well as town dresses.
 Creed featured double breasted, navy blue reefers and loose topcoats with plenty of fullness at the back in his spring collections. Elizabeth Hawes. American designer, emphas- izes fitted and f1ared coats, with wide, swinging hemlines in hers.
 Naturally, one of the most eco- nomical understanding for the budget-minded to consider seriously is an ensemble which includes a topcoat that cen be worn over other dresses. A redingote outfit, for ex- ample, with a print dress and a plain topcoat. Or three-piece suit with topcoat that is as nice over separate frocks as it is with the clyirt o,,I c1nnrt iopHot
 There are carloads of flowers in all spring collections. Almost , every courturier shows bouton- nieres on lapels of his choicest coats.
 Wear a neat little spray of lilies of the valley, cluster of hyacinths, bit of mimosa, bunch of rich purple violets or demure white ones ln your lapel, or in both lapels. If your Easter ensemble is a print dress under coat, find vari-col- cred corsage in shades to match the loveliest colors in the print. With navy blue, white sweet peas or one white calla lily would be effective, especially if your Easter bonnet is white or a combination of navy felt and white straw.
 The girl in a dark, full-length coat needen't worry about not be- ing able to go in for as many orig jnal color combinations as her sis ter Easter paraders who bought suits instead of coats.

NEURITIS FROM NUTRITIONAL
 DEFICIENCY

Only acute nerve inflammation (neuritis) gives rise to the pain or aching popularity associated with neuritis. A great deal of the "neu- ritis" in popular fancy is actually not neuritis at all, but some passing discomfort. Otlen a referred pain is wrongly regarded as "neuritis." 1" Thus, in a majority of cases, sci atica is net neuritis inflammation of the great sciatic nerve) but a re- ferred pain due to some sprain, strain or partial displacement in the sacro-iliac junction or perhaps to some lesion of the lumbar spine about the roots of the nerves which lead into the sciatic nerve. Typical example of referred pain which might give the impression of "neu- ritis" is the ache and tingling in the little finger and ring finger when the crazy bone" is struck a blow or subjected to pressure-the crazy bone" being the ulnar nerve in the groove just inside the tip of the elbow. Such referred pain, felt in the intercostal nerves which sup ply sensation to the thoracic and abdominal wall, has led to a good deal of wrong diagnosis. Reflex pain in the belly (walD due to acute pleu- risy in the onset of pneumonia has more than once led to nasty "ap- pendicitis" operation which of course disclosed nothing wrong in the re- zion of the appendix. Severe, sharp, burning neuralgia pain in the flank, side or perhaps over the heart, con- tinuing or recurring for several days before it's nature becomes obvious, has led to many false diagnosis of gastric crisis" "gallstone" and even angina pectoris finally the characteristic crop of veSicleS un- masks the shingles (herpes zoster).
 In most instances real neuritis is a chronic, gradually developing and long enduring condition-not pain or disability here today and gone to- morrow. Aside from remedies which benumb pain, the physiological rest such as one would give broken leg, there is no specific treatment for acute neuritis. In each case the skill and judgment of the physician must determine the treatment which is likely to give the greatest possible comfort and prevent further dam age. In some cases this involves the immediate application of surgery, perhaps. But then, acute neuirtis and it's treatment concerns the lay man no more than coronary throm- bosis does.
 Chronic arsenic poisoning, chron- ic lead poisoning, and chronic alco- holism are the most common causes of neuritis. People today are much exposed to lead and arsenic in in- dustry and in domestic life. That's all we can say about these poisons here.
 Multiple neuritis from chronic al- coholism which leads to total disa- bility and mayhap to death from exhaustion if the nature of the trouble is not recognized and prop erly treated, was regarded frankly as alcoholic neuritis". Today it is more accurately described as a nutritional deficiency, virtually the condition known in the orient as 'beriberi' (Singhalese for extreme weaknesS).

 It's not time to be cross or short tempered, either. People expect smiles. when the sun is shining and the air soft.
 And you need imagination in the spring. When He says, What shall we do tonight?" don't dream of answering T don't know" or Just Anything" And don't suggest some stuffy winter way of spending an evening.
 Think up something that is as spring like as flower covered hat. Even if it is no more than a long ride on an open-topped city bus.
 All that is playing up to spring Now let's talk about playing up to the right young man. Don't keep him waiting just to show him that you are rushed to death" or that you weren't anxious to see him.
 Let him know you were an- xious. The indifference attitude has indifferent results.
 Don't be stickily sentimental. Spring is no excuse for that. Be willing to spend the eve ming as he suggests, even if you do think your idea is better. You should thank your lucky stars you've found a man who has some ideas for taking care of the hours between nine and one.
 And don't tell him all about your self in one evening-or six, for that matter. Let him wonder occasion ally what you are thinking, and don't satisfy him when he says "a penny for your thoughts"
 But you really need advice now less than at any time. For the young mans thoughts are already turning. All you have to do is see that they turn your way.
