 Every parent wants the children to appreciate the classical. That is, to know about good music, fine art, the best books and so on. And what do we do about 1t? We tiptoe up to the child, catch him from behind and say, Nov, here is some- thing you my not like at first, but down 1t goes."

Of Interest To Women

o. Is 1t necessary to remove the skin from squash?
 A. Not if the squash is young and tender, but as squash natures the outer covering thickens and should be removed before cooking.
 o. Is there quick and inexpen- sive method of covering a wall paper that has rather deep colored design which annoys a patient who will be confined to the room. Removing the paper is out of the question.
 A. You can try covering 1t with cold water calcimine or cold water paint. A buff or pale green shade is usually soothing. It is suggested that you try a small space behind a bureau and let it dry so that you can see the results. While the cold water paint may not completely hide design of the wall paper. t may soften it enough to make 1t less obnoxious to sick person.
 c. What are some Of the com- mon picking spices?
 A. Cloves. allspice, black and red peppers, cinnamon. cassia, nutmeg mace, ginger, horseadish, caraway mustard, coriander. celery, bay leaves, tumeric and dill.

WOMAN,S REALM
-BEAU3X GIorifing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Stan Writer

Month in and month out, you are told what instructions to give good hairdresser, what to expect for your money when getting per- manent or, for that matter, other beauty treatments.
 Just for a change, let's talk about what your favorite beauty salon should be able to expect from you. What kind of customer are you, anyway? For an honest answer, compare your conduct with that Of Mrs. A.
 Mrs. A. always uses the prefix Miss or MT. when addressing any beauty shop operator. First names are GUS tomary in the average salon, but Mrs. A. says Miss Alice" instead of Alice" And Miss Alice responded to this little courtesy to Hrs. As benefit
 Mrs. A. doesn't bring in pic- ture of a movie star and demand that her own hair be dressed exact- ly like the stars. When she gets an idea for n.w way of having her hair set, she consults her hair dresser instead of ordering him around. He, after all, is bound to know more about styles most suit able for various types.
 CARRIES OUT
 BARGAIN
 Mrs. A. doecn't refuse to sit under the drier until her hair is thor oughly dry and then get irritated because the wave does not stay in. She wants her hair brushed before she leaves the salon, and she knows that damp waves won't stand a brushing.
 Furthermore, if she agrees to do exercises at home between visits to the exercise studio of a salon, she does them. If she has asked for 8 special diet, she really sticks to the diet.
 And if she does not use a cer- tain cream according to directions Mrs. A. doesn't blame the operator who sold her the cream.

SILKS FOR FALL

Both stiff and supple silks are im- portantly cast in the latest Paris showings. The more supple fabrics lend themselves pleasingly to the in- tricate draped effects endorsed by many leading couturiers. Black silk crepe is a heavy favorite for crisp fall afternoon wear. Many of these are accented by contrasting trim mings. Matelasse encrustations on yoke and hem and silk velvet ap- plique are importantly featured. Marcel Rochas uses lace extensively. Tn his collection is shown an un- usual afternoon frock of black jersey weave silk crepe with black lace encrustations on yoke and upper sleeves to match the pleated ruffle edging the circular skirt.

THE RED- YELLOW GLARE OF

It seems as though (pease credit
 me something for not saying "like")
 most amateur mothers discover with more or less dismay that the baby IS somewhat crosseyed some time in the first two or three months. This is one of a good many observations which should not upset the young mother who has had fair deal in common school edtlcation-but that's the irony of it-you might count on the fingers of one hand the common schools in Yankeeland that offer future mothers of the race any sort of practical instruction or training which is likely to help them in the noblest of all careers open to women. That reminds me --one of my secret ambitions is to conduct 6 stealthy course of train- ing for girls in the graduating class of grade school or high school, and prepare them to rise in body at the conclusion of the main address

For the one-room modern apart- ment, chest of drawers, discern ingly chosen, might well be the key piece of the room. One of the new est of the moderns is a rather low, six-drawer piece, fully five feet in width, finished in rich rosewood veneer with distinctive brass fittings. Plenty of space for lots of silver and linens. The same chest is also sold finished in bleached mahogany.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS The Vitamin B-COmplex

Kindly mention inetaoinShrdluup
 Kindly mention in your column what the vitamin B complex consists of, which some of your readers rec ommend for restoring color to gray hair. (H. P. L)
 Answer - Vitamin B-complex, of which wheat germ is the richest food source, includes all of the factors identified or assumed present in the vitamin group originally called vita min B. Some of the factors are vit- amin B-1 or thiamin, vitamin B-2 or G. or riboflavin, nicotinic acid, anti-dermatitis factor, anti-gray hair factor, etc. The last is so named because 1t seems to retard or pre- vent graying of the hair of rats with age. Whether 1t has such effect in human beings, I do not know. Perhaps people beginning to be gray just fel better, when they supplement their regular diet with vitamin B complex, and see the dark hairs, not the gray, when they scrutinize their hair Many have declared that an iodin ration stops graying of their hair. A few even assert that their gray hair has been restored to its original color. I don't know. It can do no harm, usually improves general health and well being to try both

MAKES FOR
 DISCOMFORT

This habit of women has several bad effects. First, 1t gives them many bad moments. All is well when things are in your favor, but when the comparison leaves you way be- hind, you aren't very comfortable.
 Secondly, 1t keeps women from sincerely enjoying meeting one another. Instead of meeting as human beings who may find each other interesting, they usually meet as competitors.
 And thirdly, it flinders a woman's ability to be good companion to a man.
