GIVE YOUR CHILD BEAUTY
Continued from preceding poge

over two months the result had been
serious.
Children should grow UP with
pretty feet. Correct shoes will prevent
corns and callouses Painful ingrown
nails can be avoided if the nails are
filed straight across and not too short.
Careful drying and the occasional
use of a good cream after the bath
will do much to keep the skin from
becoming rough and hardened. Pretty
feet are comparatively rare - and so
nccdlcssly.
or vital importance to the future
are recrcations which build a sense OF
rhythm, balance and graceful move
ment. 1t is fatal to accuse an awkward
child of clumsiness. She will simply
become hopelessly self-conscious. Far
better to ignore the fact and concen-
tratc upon a new interest to develop
Ioise. Among these are rhythmic
exercises, swimming, any form OF
dancing, fencing or figure skating
ANY of them forms a fascinating
pastime for the normal youngster;
and if she can learn them under expert
instruction she is lucky indeed.
These interests help her to learn all
other sports more easily. Lessons in
tennis and golf and in all the so-called
social sports are wise investments, for
they are difficult indeed to master
after the freedom of schooldays are
passed.
What wonderful thing it would be
to step back into our own childhood
and remake certain habits But we
cannot. We can only look upon little
girls of the coming generation with
something akin to envy. 1t is tender
and special trust to guide little girl
to beauty "a challenge to modern
mothers, for loveliness is a great gilt,
a gift that brings happiness and
smooths many of hfe's troubles. and
it is within your power to establish
your daughters claim to it.

both Reading and Pocomoke will have
managers who may or may not be
playing members. It is reported that
there is some prospect that Jake Flow
ers may take over the reins again.
Another item of interest is that,
the Reading club has practically de-
cided to make Pocomoke it's training
location for next year, instead of Sc
lecting some more southern point for
their seasons preparation; at least
the Reading press has so informed the
public. This should go far toward re-
viving interest in the national game,
and the whole set-up seems to guaran-
tee a big improvement in the base
ball situation in Pocomoke.
Everybody agrees that Pocomoke is
a good point on the circuit for team,
and Mr.. Ehlers has so expressed him
self. He has faith in the location. All
that is necessary now is for the fans
to prove their loyalty and Mr.. Edding-
