 Jackie insists, for example. that he can ride brother Bills two wheeler" He tries and fails, but still thinks that he could learn if he had his own. A little bike won't satisfy him. It must be full-grown bicycle or none. And he knows very we'll that he can climb the same tall tree that his brother does. Un- daunted when he fails, he attempts to scale the trellis to the garage roof. Maybe he succeeds in this and gets a spanking for his pains. But in spite of punishment he has satisfied his soul. Grown-up for fair, he is, and he gloats over his victory.
 These small children are always biting off more than they can chew, and getting into trouble by their persistent attempts to prove their imagined ability.

 Build Faith in Themselves
 Right now, it is reasonable to be- lieve, 8 natural inferiority is bat tling with faith in power. Our small children are trying to man. ufacture pseudo-courage to bolster their pride. And they set up standard far beyond their years, a code of trying anything once-which annoys us exceedingly.
 When young Jack acts like Mike with Pete's pants on, we feel like shaking him. But why? He is at- tempting the impossible, in order to succeed, as he will, in some few cases. One victory is everything. And incidentally, his idea of play ing fireman, or cowboy, is not al- ways the dramatic urge, but some- times the Napoleonic instinct cre- ating role sufficient for his mag nificence. He is likely to brag and show off quite disgracefully. Girls are less likely to go through this stage.
 Mother, as often as is safely pos sible, I would pretend to sympa- thize with these king symptoms. At times our young hopeful must be restrained for his own good and his own neck, but at others he needso l1r calIltes Tt will give way to blander conduct.
 This is why the school child, just beginning, seems to be so sadly de- Hated, after a period when he was monarch for fair. But now he is content to be what he is, because so many other little boys have to be just what they are, too. And just doing As and B's on paper is a sobering experience.

If he is competent doctor he will proceed in the proper way to do that-and of course you'll have to pay for it. If your idea is to piddle along with $2.75 pre- scription or a $5 guess that you're just tired out or run down, l ad- wise you to save your money until you can get together enough for na examination.

through four years of co-education?
 Admitting cause for prejudice at the start, we would like to put our money on the coed. And heres why.
 For the last four years she has been living in a more normal world than the girl who has become ac- customed to strictly feminine environment. So adjustment should be less difficult for her.
 Then too, four years of close companionship with dozens of boys should have taught her a lot about men. And men still do most of the hiring and firing. If she doesn't know the way a mans mind works after four years of sitting with him through classes and on dormitory steps, she never will know.
 Then. too, the coed is more likely to have prepared for a pro- fession than the graduate of a woman's college, where cultural subjects are more likely to be stressed than practical knowledge.
 And those who make a study of fashion say that the coed knows more about dressing. For while she has been wearing smart looking campus clothes for the last four years, in order to impress the foot ball captain in English Lit" the woman's college graduate has spent those years-with the exception of an occasional Week-end-wearing tweed skirts, cardigans, handker- chief ead-dresses, f1at-heeled shoes and socks.
 All those are reasons why we are putting our money on the coed. A one-sided viewpoint, you say. Ger tainly. But impartiality is negli- gible virtue when you are trying to pick a winner.

the time. the business girl to walk home from work three nights week. And one who walks in the name of beauty always should walk briskly, with backbone straight. shoulders square, head up, arms re- faxed. Sauntering won't do the trick.
 As you walk, practice exhaling as vigorously as you inhale. Really fill your lungs with air, then empty them. As you walk more and more often, notice how your breathing becomes more rhythmic. Also how less tense your neck feels when you are tired. And, incidentally, how much less tired you seem to get after a particularly difficult day. One who keeps in topnotch physical condition just doesn't tire easily or get irritable often. Walking-and sports-go long way toward help ing everyone to attain feeling of Well-being as well as a slender, graceful figure.

 When the appetite seems bored feed it the unexpected. Few peo- pie expect to see oysters turn out with spring broilerS and now that oysters are about to disappear until the fall months, you might try chicken with oysters in gesture of farewell and delight.
 Chicken With Oysters
 (Serves 6)
 Three broilerS, butter, table spoons flour, 1-2 cups cream, 1-2 cup oyster juice, quart oysters.
 Joint three broilers and saute the two breasts, two thighs and two forelegs ill butter. Cook them until tender, but do not let them brown. Remove and keep hot until sauce is made for coating.
 Add to the butter in the frying pan, 2 tablespoons of flour, blend and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Add slowly, stirring constantly, 1-2 cups cream and 1-2 cup oyster juice. When smooth and thickened, season to taste with pepper and salt. Cook oysters in their own juice until edges curl slightly. Oysters need very little cooking.
 Arrange the Sauted chicken on a platter, coat with the sauce and garnish around the edge with hot, lightly preached oysters.

Active sports will keep any wo- mans figure slim, trim and youth ful. The very best way to lose a few pounds, get rid of waistline roll or Jumps on the thighs between now and early summer is to renew your attention to your favorite sport or decide to learn new one.
 Swimming is the great streamlin- CT. It fills out the holloWS of the too-thin person, removes the bulges on one who is slightly overweight, makes her flesh firm And, of course, the more professional your stroke, the more quickly swimming will correct whatever figure defects you have. If you learned breast and side strokes long ago and never have bothered about the crawl, it might be a good idea to go to an indoor pool now and take a few lessons. You'll see a difference in your fig ure long before it's time to wear bathing suit on warm, sunny beach
 Golf, tennis and riding as well as swimming not only improve the fig ure but give the complexion healthy glow, make eyes sparkle and hair look brilliantly alive. The bet ter your circulation, the more at tractive you're likely to be
 If you do not have access to a tennis court, get yourself an inex- pensive racket and resolve to bat tennis balls against the side of the garage for fifteen minutes three or four times week. And learning to drive a golf ball one or two hun dred yards will slenderize your waistline and improve your posture whether you ever go in for the game seriously or not. Furthermore, chaS- ing after the ball will make flabby leg muscles firm and supple. You don't want knotty, muscular looking legs, of course. But you don't want them too soft, either.
 Sports For Well-Being
 For figure and complexion beau- ty, bicycling and riding cannot be surpassed. The latter, however, like swimming, is more efficacious when done expertly. A few riding les sons may be in order

LAUNDERING SHEER BLONSES

To launder sheer blouSes use a mild soap or soap powder and warm water. Agitate the studs through the material gently with the hands. Never rub sheer fabrics on a board. Rinse in clear warm water until all the studs are removed. Press the water out between the hands in stead of wringing with a twisting motion. and roll in a clean ab- sorbent towel until ready to iron.
