Should Learn Own
Gifts as Desirable
AS Coveted Ones
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Every SO often a child meets a
difficult situation. Things go against
him through no fault of his. He is
powerless to change himself or his
situation. It's just bit OF what,
for lack of q better definition, we
call bad luck" Nobody escapes.
Most people overcome the difficulty
or adjust themselves and go on. The
weak one fails. The best we can do
for children in such situations is to
encourage them to face the thing
and make the best of bad bargain.
Go over 1t, around 1t, under it, but
get by it.
Tommy is q delicate boy Of 13.
His health is usually good, but he
cannot stand q great strain. He is
easily tired on the playground and
falls a victim to fevers and colds.
He hates to be beaten, so he tries
to outdo The strongest and best in
the classroom. His strength gives
out and he falls sick and has to stay
out OF school. Lately he lost a pro-
motion by illness brought on by
strain, and he is so unhappy about
1t that he is failing again. He cries
and says he wants to go to a school
where nobody will know about him.
It is hard to see a child suffer
like this, but crying with him is
going to do more harm than good.
His health has to be built up; he
must be encouraged to do his best
with the power he has; he must
be helped to face his life as it comes.
Going to another school won't
change things much. He takes him
self along wherever he goes and it
Is that Self that is bothering him.
Better stay where he knows the peo-
pie and where they know him, and
make the best of things.
This sort of child worries the life
out of his parents and teachers by
longing to do the thing he cannot do
and neglecting the thing he can
do well. This boy insists upon being
an athlete when that is the very last
thing he can be. He draws beauti-
fully, is promising musician, but
his heart is set on becoming a foot
ball hero.
Our part is to help such a child
see that his own gifts are quite as
desirable as those he covets. It
might help to take him to concert
Of master and let him hear and
see what leadership in music means.
1t might help him to read stories
about men and women who have
achieved success though handi-
capped by weak bodies. In any case,
we have to hold him to the routine
of work and play and spiritual
strength that his situation demands.
1t Is hard on the teachers and the
parents, but the time comes when
their work is successful, and the
pupil is happily set toward success
Many are the troubles that cross
the path of childhood and youth.
The children are apprenticed to
life and must learn its ways-the
harsh as well as the kindly. Death,
loss of friends and money, unsettling
changes of many sorts are certain to
befall them. Teach children to take
what comes in their stride. Grip
and bear the bad luck until it turns
into good luck, as it surely will.
None of us ever spends life entirely
in the shadow. There is a healthy
balance to be found if we insist upon
1t. Teach the hard truth to the
children and 60 on from there,
cheerfully.

are in Europe means everything to
American designers. We dislike
profiting by others misfortunes, but
that does not alter the fact that
the closing of Paris shops, the almost
impossible task of designing and
exporting clothes is going to have its
effect upon America.
All of these things we recently
discussed with an American design
er of footwear. OF course, for years
our shoes have far surpassed the
majority of those designed and
made abroad, in fact, they have been
copied and used by Europeans. Now,
however, we shall have to think up
our own ideas, where formerly we
took style trends and colors from
the Paris and London salons.
This, our informant thinks, is 60
Ing to mean several things. First,
1t is going to bring forth creative
ability in all phases of fashion here.
Designers that we hardly knew ex-
listed will come forth with new style
motifs and those creators already
established will stress original ideas
instead of adaptations of imported
clothes. Undoubtedly, this country
will blossom forth as the style CEN
ter of the world. Where once it was
considered exclusive to bring clothes
from across the sea, it will now be
virtually impossible, and hence our
own very capable artists will find
much enlarged and increased field
awaiting them. It used to be sim
pier to adapt Partisan motifs than to
create our own, but with this no
longer the thing to do, we should
find some amazing and heretofore
unknown talent on our very door,
step. So don't expect imports to be
30 exclusive from now on. Look
just little beyond your own nose
and you'll discover the real fashion,
setting group.
Several New Trends
Now Presented.
AS if to bear this out, one of the
country's leading footwear design
ers has brought forth some of the
smartest and most original ideas
we've seen in ages. There is always
this emphasized leaning to "lady-
like" clothes, shown in draped and
f1ared dresses, hats with snoods and
all the other new ideas In keeping
with this, shoes are "ladylike," often
built high, filled with feminine de-
tails and made for comfort as well
as charm.
Walking shoes are smart, often
made on wall lasts for more COM
fort and featuring squared toes and
heels. Afternoon shoes are made
with closed toes and heels, of course,
and have draped and shirred touches
which will go well with your ultra
feminine clothes. A smart touch is

Dorothy Dix Says
No Real Danger of Any Woman
Becoming the Perfect Wife

OF course, husbands are always
adjuring their wives to be sensible
and batting them for being silly
and unreasonable. But it is the
pretty, little inconsequent cupcakes,
as Damon Runyon would say, who
chatter nonsense and who cry for
what they want, whose husbands pet
and spoil them and stay lovers to the
end. Men no more want sensible
wives than they want wives who
wear flat-heeled shoes and substan-
tial clothes instead of frillies.
Furthermore, when husbands COM
plain of their wives extravaganza
and tell about how many dresses
and hats they buy, they are not be-
grudging their wives single ribbon
or feather. It is just their way of
Dragging about how prosperous they
are, and what good providers they
are, and impressing on the little
woman how thankful she should be
to have got such husband. So,
taking 1t all in all, considering that
mems theories and practices do not
jibe, it is difficult to know just what
men want in their mates, but one
thing is certain, they don't want
a perfect wife. She would present
too invidious a contrast to them,
for one thing, and for another it
would be to much of strain to
live up to her. And, for another
thing, how could a mere, faulty,
human man chum up with one who
never needed help, nor pity, nor for
giveness?
OF course, there is no real danger
of any woman ever being perfect
wife, which is lucky for her, as she
would most likely be forsaken for
some good, cheerful sinner If she
was. But if the little bride who
wants to please her husband will
only string along and play second
fiddle to him and not take him or
herself too seriously. she will just
about fill the bill and he will always
think he has got the perfect wife.

Platforms are used in some day.
time shoes, and fur touches-re-
member them from the Paris OPEN
ings?-are seen quite often. Bows
of nearly any kind of fur can be
put on your afternoon pumps. High
cut ur-trimmed boots are important
in New York. You'll find fabrics
fascinating, too. Suede and alliga-
tor are seen in all the shops, but
we're noticing an increased use Of
old-fashioned fabrics such as MORE
and faille. These are destined to be
most important with your elegant
fashions. Crepes, satins and this
new metallic kid make some of the
best looking evening shoes any one
could possibly want.
Colors Prove
Interesting.
Chief interest as far as we were
concerned in looking at a new COL
lection is in the bronze shade in
kid, snakeskin and faille-and, of
course, in combinations. This is q
rich new shade which should 60
with practically everything and
which is destined to be perfect with
your brown clothes this winter.
Gunmetal, an of-black, is another
outstanding success as far as this
department is concerned, and in ad-
dition there are the new wines,
greens and blues which have come
to be so necessary at this season. =
Just bear in mind when you shop
for new shoes that this is a season
of supreme elegance and don't think
you can get away with things that
look like last season. Your clothes
require a definite type of accessory
and you must have it! And don't
overlook the fact that more and
more American designs will be pre-
sented as the season goes on. It's
going to be fun to see just how far
the creative ability will go. Do you
think we can possibly out-Paris

A young bride tells me that she is
going to try to be perfect wife. To
which I reply: DON'T. You can't be
one, Of course, but If you could it
would be fatal. For the last thing
In the world that any man wants Is
a perfect wife. Better that a wife
should have all the faults on the
sinners calendar than that she
should be always right.
Why, the main thing a man mar
ries woman for is to get somebody
he can lay his own faults on and
blame for everything that goes
wrong. If the budget doesn't bal
ance it is because Mamie bought
new hat. If they are late for a
dinner engagement 1t took Mamie
50 long to dress. II he can't find
q clean shirt 1t is because Mamie
has passion for hiding things, and
so on and so on. But far be it from
him to wish to exchange Mamie,
with all her weaknesses, for a wife
who is a crackerjack financier, who
is always on time and who keeps his
clothes in immaculate order. It is
for her faults and not her virtues
that he loves her.
Any wife who doesn't offer her
self up as a target for her hus-
bands criticisms is depriving him of
one of the chief joys and consola-
tions of marriage. For how is man
to swell out his chest and pose as
an oracle before a wife who never
makes mistakes or asks foolish
questions and who Is up on every
subject from the Gallup poll to
what length of skirts they are 60
ing to wear next winter? And how
is a man to maintain his reputation
as a dinner table wit If he is mar
ried to woman whose cakes are
always edible, who never sells a
priceless antique to the junk man or
gets taken in by the sob story of q
fake blind beggar?

Eyeglasses
NoLonger
Detract
Flattering Frame,
Proper Makeup
Do Wonders
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

You may not like to wear them,
but you needn't be upset If your
physician says, "You need eye
glasses" Be a sensible little beauty
and go get them, but take care to
choose frames which are becoming.
Proof that eyeglasses are no more
considered glamour -detractors is the
fact that many Of our most famous
beauties of stage and screen and
society wear them in public and still
are considered beauties!
Perhaps the current vogue for
Ozark glasses" to cut the suns glare,
has something to do with this new
acceptance of specs. People are
more accustomed to covered eyes
and it is about time the stupid CEN
sorship was dropped. For If you
cannot see well without glasses you
are not only missing much If you
do not wear them, but you are in
juring your body. Eye strain can
cause the most peculiar ailments.
You have wide variety of frames
and lenses to choose from. Take
time and try on lot before you de-
eide which you want. No girl should
choose a frame which clamps over
the bridge of her nose because
eventually she will have calloused
ugly looking imprint. Leave the
clampers for the men!
Some people feel glasses are less
obvious if rimless, but personally I
think some of the lighter tinted
frames are really quite becoming.
Select a lense Cor a frame) wide
enough 50 your vision will not be
limited-a small ,lense does limit
vision.
Eye makeup and face makeup has
advanced to such an art that q girl
can use it cleverly to detract from
her glasses.
If you have dark circles under
your eyes due to straining them, use
bit of eyeshadow on the lids. The
lighter shades for daytime, the
deeper for evening.
Never use any sort of eye makeup
which will smear your lenses. Beaded
or false eyelashes are taboo. If you
must darken your lashes bit, use
a good quality mascara which dries
and stays dry! You don't want II
running if your eyes become moist
And as most mascaras tend to make
your lashes brittle you must use 9
lubricant on them at night. Hall
olive oil and half odorless castor oil
Is a good one. White vaseline Is
also helpful. But be sure to wipe
off the lubricant each morning with
a fresh tissue.
Your brows should be shaped but
not plucked to hairline. In fact
eyeglasses are more becoming with
thick, trim brows than with sparse
ones.
Concentrate your makeup on your
lips. Draw smooth lovely shaped
lips and keep them that way. The
more permanent your lip makeup
the better, so you will not have tc
repair them every hour. II you
choose q bright color which does
things for your skin tone, too, quite

On April 10th
SUMMER FEEDING
Meeting Arranged BY
County Agent Ed
Lenzmeier, st. Cloud

With view Of developing better
uses Of grasses for pasture, the
county agents office at st. Cloud
has arranged a series Of meetings
for next week to show the value
of pasture and to get greater eco
nomic use of grass land for pasture
purposes. With the market price
for butterfat considerably lower
than in recent years every dairy
producer must interest himself in
cutting production costs to the
limit in order to stand a chance
Of coming out with the present low
price. In the meetings various
pasture schemes will be outlined
with a view of having close to six
months Of good pasture for all the
livestock on the farm. The use OF
land for pasture involves less fam
lily labor on farms than in the case
Of any other crops.
The meeting in Sank Centre will
be Monday April 10, at 2 p. m. in
the Community Club rooms.
