the woman who has gone in for

There are plenty of the old
fashioned coaching scenes, so be-
loved by bachelors, for some reason,
and an exceptionally nice gentle
mans" card is one in muted colors
showing a group of beaux Of the
Beau Brummel era grouped before
roaring fire, with the words of
greeting lettered on an old English
tavern sign. There are plenty of
Santa Claus cards, too, for those
who feel that the jolly saint must
carry their greeting for them. One
of the most appealing is done in
red, white and blue, and depicts a
genial Santa in a sleigh drawn by
the most wistful little fawn have
ever beheld. A fat bluebird preens
his wings in the corner, and the
message inside is sweet without
being mushy.
For the humor-lover there is
wealth of amusing cards. Silly

is represented, so you shouldn't
have any trouble finding one to

In general, one is impressed with
the fact that this year more work
is going on the outside of the cards
than on the message within Which
is nice for those of us who detest
canned greetings and prefer to
scribble word of our own. But
there are plenty of fanciful jobs

Dis0bedience
Deserves a
Penalty
Teach Tots to Be
Self.Directing
At Early Age
By ANGELO PATRI.

We have to train children from
birth to the age of reflective think
ing, somewhere at the onset OF
adolescence, to obey. The children
under 7 are to obey whatever .direc-
ton their parents give them. That
puts heavy responsibility upon the
parents to give only such directions
as are essential for the health and
happiness of the children. The ex-
periences children gather through
obedience to their parents are what
form the after relationship between
parents and children. If the par
ents' demands were harsh, inconsid-
crate, wilful and selfish. the children
will cease obeying as soon as they
reach the stage of reflective thinking
and then the battle is on. to end only
when the children are out on their
own. All directions given children
should be considered from that
standpoint
Little children dislike being inter-
rupted. Interruption irritates the
mind OF older people. The more
important their work to them the
greater their irritation at being in
terrupted. A child of 8 or 4 is
delighted with his newly discovered
joy in play. It is the serious busi-
ness of his life. He resents its
interruption with the same fierce
heat as his father puts into his voice
when he yells, Cant you see I'm
busy?"
Be considerate of busy people
Give them a warning signal; then,
after the interval agreed upon, the
final summons Make that one final.
If the busy child does not attend
then, don't call him again, but go
after him, send him along ahead of
you into the house, saying as little
as possible. Silence well used is a
powerful driver. Penalize him for
his disobedience. The penalty need
not be severe, but it must be certain.
In that way the experience in obedi-
enoe becomes a favorable one. The
child knows that it was he who was
in the wrong.
AS children approach the age of
reflective thinking, that is, when
they begin to tie cause and effect
together, and act on their experience
intelligently, begin to give them
some opportunity for SELF direction,
little at first, increasing as their
power to use it shows in their be-
havior.
Children must be directing at
the age of adolescence, and they will
never be so unless they have been
trained to 1t from little, up. If a
child can wash his own face, he is
from then on allowed to do so. If
he can buy a bottle of milk and
count his change, he is expected
from then on to do that. Once he
shows he can perform an action un-
directed, he should be praised and
given the privilege of Going it on his
own ever afterward. So he grows
in intelligent elf-direction and the
parents authority changes into the
delightful intimacy and understand
ing that we call family affection.

or daughter to mind? Send for An

Benton, Jonas Lie, preSlQenC OF CIle
National Academy Lauren Ford,
Gordon Grant, Wanda Gag and doz-
ems of others are represented in this
group. The originals of many of
the cards hang in museums-but
some of them are reproductions Of
works that have not been seen be-
fore. Reproduced in full color for
the first time is Thomas Benton's
1.-The Meal" portrayal of the typ
ical American home; also a first"
is the color reproduction of Rock
well Kent's Shadows of Evening" !"
which is in the permanent collec-
ton Of the Whitney Museum of
American Art. These are not Christ
mas cards to be lined up on the
mantel during the Yule season and
then thrown away or made into
scrapbooks for children. These are
real works of art-and I predict
that many of them will be framed
and displayed with pride on the re-
cipients walls. Therefore, when you
send one of these messengers with
your Christmas greetings you are
sending a gift as well as a word OF
cheer!
Another group that should ap-
peal especially to smart young mod
erns is composed of original designs
by a number of prominent illus
traitors and designers. These are
amusing and sophisticated; young
America will enjoy recognizing its
favorite cartoonist's or illustrators
handiwork in the gay and giddy
drawings. Holley's famous roosters
and hens are found in this group;
the wistful drawings OF Bobri and
of Donald Mckay stand side by side
with the works of other Well-knoWn
artists, such as Jane Miller, Hardi
Gramatky, Ludwig Bemelmans, Wit
old Gordon and Edward A. Wilson,
to mention but a few. Some of the
pet characters from the pages OF
Esquire and other smart magazines
are represented here to carry your
Yuletide message.
Among other Christmas cards one
finds an echo of the war IN the in
creased numbers Of them dealing
with peace. There are more relig-
ious cards than have been seen in
recent years; this may also be a
symptom of the times. Peace on
earth" is a wish that, obviously, has
been uppermost in card designers
minds this year.
Jewel tones are featured this sea-
son-the rich hues of sapphire, en-
erald and ruby are set off mag
nihciently with gold and silver.
Brown also basks in the light OF
favor, going In for wood tones, SIM
ulated woods, and combining them

when I have referred to glass cur
tains" I meant the same thing you
do: sheer curtains used under drap-
cries. But the new curtains Of glass
are exciting and now is a good time
to tell you about them. They are
made by one of our greatest glass
makers, the material is called Eli
berglass" and you will find it in the
shops as drapery material, shower
curtains and lampshades. It's great
value Is that 1t cannot absorb dirt,
is freshened by "dunking" it in
warm soapsuds and comes in a wide
range of colors and textures. It is
also fire resistant, which makes 1t
doubly safe as drapery material.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I am planning to paint and spat-
ter the floors in cottage I am fix
ing up for vacation house What
were the colors used on the old
spattered floors for a background
and what is the best type of paint
to use for this? What is the least
troublesome way to keep the spat-
ters of the walls which 1 wish to
keep plain colored?
J.L.Y.
Answer: There are really no
limits to what you might choose as a
background color, but most Of the
ones I have seen have been blue
green, or yellow ochre, buff or gray.
I have also seen brick-red and black.
and those spattered with many
bright colors tone down nicely. Use
good floor and deck enamel for a
base. 1t Is wise to use a colorless
lacquer on top after the spatter has
dried to keep it from wearing in
the travel strips. Layers OF news
papers thumbtacked to the walls and
extending over the Dashboard will
protect the walls from spatter. and
leave no trace when they are re-
moved.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
You suggested oil paint containing
linseed oil for the outside of our
house. We find there is boiled and
raw hnseed and wondered what the
difference is and which is right for
our purpose RED.
Answer: It Is wiser to use boiled
oil paints on interiors and raw oil
paints on exteriors exposed to the
elements. Linseed Is boiled to In
crease its drying power, which is
advisable on interiors, but ii de-
creases its durability, elasticity ano
penetration, all needed when it is
exposed to the weather. So, raw
inseed for you!
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I have two old glass domes on q
black velvet base which used to con-
tain flowers made of hair and shells.
I think they were of the Victorian
era. The flowers have seen better
days, but it seems to me the domes
might contain other interesting Gre
ations. How would I go about find
Ing something to place in them?
GIL.
Answer: You will probably turn
out something so lovely that you
will be the envy of your friends
forever. First, plan the place they
are to occupy, either mantel, side
board or table. Then, consider the
color you wish to introduce. I might
also suggest that you need not be
restricted to finished and perma-
nent installation, but be able to
change the arrangement as new
thought occurs to you. If you have
q pair Of tiny vases you might work
out arrangements with real flowers
that we will call number one. Num-

gard her as beautiful or a figure Of
fun depends on her hat and gown.
So as soon as you are married
and junior arrives don't retire from
the world. Don't give up your
friends and your music and your
hobbies. Read books besides the
baby book and talk about things
besides food formulas for infants.
Keep going. Belong to clubs. Keep
yourself informed on what's going
on in the world. Read books, papers,
magazines. Go places and see
things. So will you hold not only
your husband but your public. The
woman who keeps everybody fasci-
mated and amused with her talk is
ageless. Some Of the most sought
after dinner guests know are wom-
en- in their 70s.
And make friends. Bind as many
people to you as you possibly can.
You will need them when you begin
to get old and are not able to CAD
about much and when the world
about you has drifted away from
you. Then you will be lonely apd
desolate enough if you have no
friends to come and sit with you,
and if there is nobody to whom you
can say: Don't you remember"
So, girls, begin today to get ready
to be 40 and older. Take out your
old-age security pension. Believe
me, it will be the best investment
you ever made.
