Rome
Continued From First Page)

Italy either must dominate or be a
prisoner in the Mediterranean,
which was Rome's own sea long
years before Britain had need to
run a lifeline through it.
The two statesmen. in their toasts,
affirmed past Italian and British
assertions that the sea was so vital
to each that it could be made bond
of union rather than the bone of
contention.
But Italy has indicated by her re-
cent course that she feels this happy
union can be achieved only by sac
rifices from a third party, France
(The Italian press for weeks has
agitated for control of French
Tunisia, and for concession in
French Somaliland, in management
of the Suez Canal and Djibouti-
Adds Ababa railroad)
The outcome Of the talks, there
fore, depended largely on how much
Mussolini could get Chamberlain to
ask France to give, and how France
responded to this means of appease-
ment. France, in preliminary an
swer, declared she would yield mot
an inch" of colonial territory.
Face Other Problems.
interviewer are other problems
such as the war in Spain, British
fears of German encroacfment in
the Mediterranean, and tagging
Italian British trade.
Those accompanying Chamberlain
said that, since the Prime Minister
came on Mussolini's invitation, he
had no initial offer to make, but
would wait for the Duce to speak
out.
They announced themselves pes
simistic over the chances of any
concrete political achievement COM
ing out of the trip.
Other sources included this pes
simism as part of the British ap-
proach, pointing out that to return
without anything probably would
hurt Chamberlain more at home
than Mussolini.
Mussolini declared last night that
the Italian-British Easter accord
placed relations on "a solid basis,
resulting in "a new Mediterranean
and African reality" and opening
the way to collaboration for peace
No Need for Conflict.
Chamberlain concurred that the
Mediterranean interests while OF
vital Importance to us both, need
in no way conflict" British quar-
ters declared, however, that he de-
sired more concrete assurances, in
view OF Italian participation in the
Spanish insurgent offensive.
The British minister disclosed
that, in accordance with the friend
ship treaty, Italy and Britain had
begun an exchange of military in
formation.
The newspaper II Messaggero
characterized Chamberlain's views
as sane realism" but warned that
there were problems to be faced
which involved the general Euro
pean picture and 1.-The economic
equilibrium, thus the peace OF
Europe"
An odd note marked the festivi-
ties. Despite repeated official de-
malls, rumors persisted in Rome that
the Princess Mafalda, daughter OF
the King, had died and that the
news was suppressed because of fes-
tivities for Chamberlain.
Morning papers carried news OF
her illness and expressions of SYM
pathy for the royal family.

out, and she is twice as DANGEROUS
because when she sets her fancy
on a man nothing stops her, and no
tactics are too low and dishonorable
for her to use to get him.
No pity for the man whose ca
reer she is running, whose home she
is breaking up, whose wife she is
widowing and whose children she
is orphaning makes her stay her
hand, and if the man is strong
enough and upright enough and
loves his wife enough to resist her,
there is no revenge that she will
not take to soothe her hurt vanity.
Your role is to play dumb. Never
take any of her leads. Never see
any of her little gestures. Never be
alone with her. Foil her craftiest
plans by grabbing up some stranger,
if you can't get anybody else, and
taking him or her along to spoil

Dorothy Dix Says
Among Philanderers the Female
Is More Deadly Than the Male

Dear Dorothy Dix: I am a man
OF 40 with wife and three sons.
Two years ago I went in business
with another man and he and his
wife and my wife and I became
good friends. I have been merely
courteous to my partners wife, but
I soon discovered that she was max
ing advances to me. I told my wife
about her conduct and asked that
when it was necessary to take this
woman to some place that she
would go with me. This she does
now and the woman is fool enough
to think my wife is jealous. She
seems to think that I would like to
philander, but can't because of my
wife. How can I protect myself
under the circumstances? How can
a man tell woman of her kind
what he thinks of her? I under
stand her husbands former partner
had this same difficulty. I am con-
cerned mostly about my sons. They
adore me and watch every move I
make, therefore I feel that I must
set the example I expect them to
live by. PERPLEXED MAN.
Answer-You certainly are in a
hot spot because it is far more diff
cult for man to protect himself
from a woman who Is pursuing him
with evil intent than it is for
woman to protect herself against
the man. She can always cry: "Un-
hand me, villain!" and the public
rushes to her defense and believes
In her innocence, while a man has
to keep silent and the public leers
at him and brands him as Don
Juan. Also among philanderers the
female of the species is more deadly
than the male, as Kipling points

School Needs

Mistaken Attitude
Checks Growth
Of the Child
By ANGELO PATRI.

Mother, you'll have to go to
school,"
Now what? You don't mean to
say you are in trouble again?"
"Oh, it's that Miss Hurdy again
She said I had to do my arithmetic
lesson, and I said I wouldn't. So she
said I could not 60 back to class un-
til did my lesson or you came. So
you have to co.
"Why didn't you do your lesson?"
"I didn't feel like it. 1t was too
hard. And anyway, I didn't like the
way she spoke to me. She said, just
as snippy as she could be, Young
lady, either you do your work or you
go somewhere else. This school is
not the place for idle, ill-mannered
children
"She said that? Ill-mannered chill
dren? Well see. I'll be right over.
I'll go back with you as soon as lunch
is over. Nobody is going to say that
my child is ill-mannered. Not if I
know it. I pay good money to that
school, and I'm not going to stand
for any back talk like that"
II am sorry that your daughter
cannot get along here. We have
done our best, but she refuses to
help us in any way. She does moth
ing unless the mood is on her. When
we try to enforce discipline she tells
us that you will not allow us to pun
ish her. She is not to take orders
from anybody. With that attitude,
teaching her is impossible. We must
ask you to withdraw her"
"Very well. I'll be glad to. No
body is going to make my child do
anything she doesn't want to do.
That's d-fashioned. Over and done
with so years ago. My child comes
from a modern home and want to
send her to a modern school. And
I will. Nobody is going to tell my
child that she is ill-mannered and
get away with it."
And that is just as likely to be
heard in the Office of the head OF
any school in the land as in the Sc
lect private school. Indeed, we hear
it oftener in public school. 1t usual
" means that the parent has suf-
fered under harsh conditions in her
school days and has determined that
her child shall not suffer in like
fashion. 1t is a mistaken attitude
that results in the very thing the
mother hoped to prevent. The child
suffers.
Teaching and learning are CO.
ordinated. The mind of the teacher
touches the mind of the pupil. If
either mind is closed against the
other, there is neither teathing nor
learning, only painful confusion.
No mother intends to have that
happen, but this attitude of don't
touch my child" brings that situa-
ton about. 1t Is bound to do so.
The parent has tine right to ex-
pect that the school will teach
her child, make progress possible,
make growth pleasant and as easy
as possible by strengthening the
child mentally, spiritually and physi-
cally. And the school must have
the cooperation of the parents,

A pretty new frock is very neces-

is somewhere between 10 and 16, and
here's very pretty one indeed! The
nice thing about this pattern is that
you can make it of velveteen or taf-

wool crepe, challis or jersey. It's a
charming year-round style. that
you'll repeat many times for your

She'll like the smallness of the
waist, the perky shoulders and sash
bow, the swingy fullness of the
skirt. The lines are extremely be-
coming to teen-agers, who are grow

Pine Cone
For Birds
Feathered Friends
Will Welcome a
Christmas Treat
By EDITH M. HUSSEY.

When making your Christmas
plans do not forget the birds. Pre-
pare feast for them, place it in
tree near your window, and you will
be repaid for the time and the
trouble it has taken you to do this,
repaid in the interest and the Joy
of watching these feathered friends.
They may not come at first; the
horn of plenty" may swing in the
winter wind for hours, hang there
unnoticed until you are sure that
your efforts have been wasted: but,
wait, some sharp eyed scout will spy
it out. 1t will likely be a sparrow,
or some greedy starlings, and then
the news will be broadcast to all
birds of the neighborhood. The jays
and mockingbirds will soon drive off
the starlings, but they, joined by
others of their clan, will soon be
back for more Perhaps a flock Of
winter grosbeak, or tiny crested tit
mice will come, or it you are very
lucky, gorgeous cardinal-and
what picture he will make against
snow covered branches!
To make these gifts, have large
pine cones-I brought some up from
South Carolina, cones of the South
ern pine. Twist piece of light wire
around the top Of the cone so the
two ends may fasten to the tree
branch.
To fill the cones, melt pound or
more of beef suet in a lard pail and
stir into this package of bird seed,
sun-f1ower seed, dried currants and
chopped nuts (peanuts preferred.
Hold the cone by its wire handle,
dip and turn in the melted suet and
use a spoon to pour and press the
mixture into the interstices of the
cone, lift out and place in a bread
or dripping pan to harden.
Hang several of these from
branches that can be seen, yet are
not so close to the window that the
sight of you will frighten the birds.
When your guests have picked out
all the goodies the cones can be
dipped into the remelted suet again.
l would like to suggest that you
make gifts of some of these filled
cones for bird-loving friends. Even
though they have regular feeding
places for birds the swinging cone
may appeal with it's novelty.
The dried currants, or chopped
raisins are especially appreciated by
the cardinals and mockingbirds, pea
nuts and seeds are liked by all:
starlings and woodpeckers are fond
of the suet which holds the food in
place.
1 hope that you will try to give
the birds that winter near you some
gift in memory of the songs of the
summer that is past. They who give
us so much pleasure deserve their
Christmas treat!

Another Reader
Urges Cleanliness.
Here's another readers letter

us to deliver ourselves of weighty
pronouncement. 1t comes from
Jacqueline NJ, and it reads:
I'm just bound to tell you that
my girl friend and I read your COL
umn faithfully, and would be lost
without your helpful tips. Thank
you so much, and please keep up
the good work. Six columns week

May I add that you couldn't pos
sibly say too much about personal
cleanliness? So many of the boys
seem to neglect this, and go on dates
after working without bathing and
dressing in fresh clothes.
II don't think there is anything
in the world that would turn me
against anybody quicker than lack
of daintiness"
That's grand plug" you gave
us, Jacqueline, and we certainly ap-
preciate it. However, we hope the
editors won't take your six-columns-
a-week suggestion too seriously-not
right now, at any rate. 1t wouldn't
leave us enough time to answer the
personal letters that you young
moderns send us.
The ad-writers have performed g
real service in making people con-
scious of the danger of offending
others through carelessness about
cleanliness. Unfortunately, however
they have harped on these warnings
until they have become more or less
a joke And the matter is no joke
Nobody-and we mean nobody
can afford to take it for granted
that he isn't guilty of this too
common fault. Maybe your best
friend won't tell you," but some
member of your family will if you
bring up the question. And don't
make the test just once-do it q

BY PATRICIA LINDSAY,

This season is definitely one OF
f1ippancy and elegance. Styles are

pie are going in for hijinks-pos-
slbly in defiance of the war gloom.
Last years demure young thing is
now debonair. She wears a heart
provoking hat, elephants teeth
dangle from her wrists for luck and
the brightest of accents snare your
attention to her charm, especially
the bright colors she wears on her
fingertips!
Pale, soft cosmetic tones have
gone with the wind. Softly tinted

the bolder, brighter, polishes have
rushed into favor. Clear red has
the lead for it offsets the deeper
shades of winter and actually

black. Black needs red for contrast
wear it on your lips, your finger
nails and in one accessory!
Here's a tip if you've been hav-
ing trouble with brittle and taking
nails. Give them shampoo twice
a week with a special cream-white
liquid that has been concocted to
soften your cuticle and to give your
nails the oils they need. Work it
under the nail tips with an orange
stick to dislodge that annoying
black rim. The sponge-brush which
accompanies this special lotion ef-
fectively scrubs your nails to beauty.
After you dry your nails thor
oughly, push back the cuticle with
your orange stick, starting at the
base of the nail and working up
each side separately. If you push
down toward the base, you work
against the natural growth of the
cuticle and that causes ANNOYING
hangnails. And do be careful not
to cut the corners of your nails!
The nail fits into a socket which
keeps it clinging close to the finger
tip. If you cut or file away the
corners you release it from it's snug
groove and then it is vulnerable for
breaking or bending. 1t takes ages
for broken nail to grow again.
If your hands are graceful, nicely
groomed and painted with a fiat
terlng polish shade, you need not
worry about their shape and size.
For even large hands can be grace
full and attractive if you keep them

At night after you have massaged
your hands and nails with a good
lubricating cream (you should, YOU
know, to keep them lovely) try this
exercise. Press your hands, palm
downward, against the seat of
the chair on which you are sitting.
Bring the heel of the hand up.
pressing hard against the chair with
the fingers. Then bring the fingers
up, until only the very. tips are
pressing against the chair. Now
press each finger, one at a time,
against the chair as hard as pos
sible. AS If you were playing the
scale on a piano very deliberately!
End the exercise by shaking the
hands rapidly, using a wrist move
ment, allowing the fingers to snap
at each other as you shake.
