those that provide good, hearty
laughs, portray beauty and the ver-
table lessons Of fine behavior and
courage are surely gain to youth.
At times the movies can be bad
for the screen-struck youngsters
who live on a perpetual diet OF In
discriminate excitement.
First let's look at 1t from physi-
cal standpoint. Emotional extreme,
or suspended restless action, takes
toll OF nerves. In real life one en-
periences such scenes only once In
a month or year or five years, Or
never.
To feed the craving for excitement
is like pouring pepper into tender
stomachS. The more that goes In,
the more tasteless become the plain
er foods. And nerves are keyed to
q pitch Of expectancy that finds dis
satisfaction with everyday life.
Thus, for two reasons, the small
addict who practically lives In the
movie theater may be irritable and
nervous. First. because he Is under
constant ctrain to nerves not CAL
culated to carry such shocks Of ex-
element, and second because the
realities Of life may grow stale by
comparison.

WOMAN,S REALM
GlOrUing

Ry Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

The woman who is beautifully
grooned and truly poised takes
first prize this season. It's a year
to look like lady - q lady with 9
personality of her own and q great
deal of common sense.
The sometimes coy, family al
bum" effects, achieved by up
swept hair-do's, strapless evening
gowns and Gibson Girl blouses,
are almost as outmoded now as
the dropping eyelid, shoulder
length bob, languid-mannerism
get-ups Of a few seasons ago.
The trend toward sanity IN dress
and makeup may be due to the in
fluence Of the war or the simple,
lady clothes that Paris designers are
turning out these days. Or simply to
the fact that modern women found
It difficult to keep her hair up, wear
hustle and at the same time be
her own active, interesting self.

At any rate, at first nights in
the theater and other functions
where society gathers open

swept couture, a hustle or a black
ribbon around the throat to be
seen. There's no hint of mannish-
ness or severe tailoring in dress
but neither are there frills, frou-
frou and unnecessary froth.
The effects achieved by artful
application of makeup are equally
sane. Women look handsome OF
beautiful rather than pretty or cute

How to be at ease in more for
NAL social circles-if you are used
to simply-run, servantless homes?
Moments that might be einbarras-
sing are easily hurdled by knowing
etiquette.
When calling, should you ask hos
tess or maid II you wish q service
such as glass of water? Correct
to ask the hostess, who then asks
the maid.
For such little extra services, the
well-bred guest always thanks q
servant. And at a dinner party, II
a guest wishes to refuse a dish, he
should say mo thank you" to the
waitress or gently shake his head.
The charmingly-mannered hostess
Of course doesn't criticize a servant
before guests. Nor does she call her
by nickname.
Other points for hostess and guest
are as simple. At large party a
hostess does not introduce each
guest 10 everyone, only to those
nearby. A woman guest seats her.

On the other hand, 1t Is astonish-
ing how many children can see pic
lures and leave them, seemingly I'M
touched by the dramas they behold
1t is not because they don't under
stand them, as many think, fol-
youngsters today are quite well
aware of the pitfalls and temptations
flash Is heir to; but rather that they
class these stories as stories, just
as they class books with books.
Yes, too many movies OF the wrong
sort will have their effect just as
anything else that plays on excite
ment. Children too young for excite
ment should be kept away from
movies. Those who re-live their
movies and can't sleep should not
go often and should have their pic
lures picked. The average child
should r 1t live al the movie house,
but be permitted to see the best pic
lures available, at most once or
twice week.

formed an insoluble substance BY

direct dye upon the paper fibers,

should remove all or most Of the
stain. 1t Is suggested that you ex-
