sauer kraut with industry :. because it made
her complexion lovely. because it kept her figure
girlish and slim, because her children thrived on
it, and her old grandmother preferred it. She
liked it for every adjective in the dictionary
and every day in the week.
She was going to beat Harrison at his own

and called the Salvation Army to come and get
two cases of unlabeled kraut for the worthy

 Whatever the reason she prefers. boys games to girls play, there, is no reason to worry about her. It won't hurt her at all to learn how to get along with boys. And the. games they play probably aren't too rough for her. MAKES HER PROUD ' OF NEATNEsS
 There is one thing her mother should do and that is encourage her to take pride in her clothes and the way she looks.
 Making it rule that she must come in every afternoon and put on a fresh. crisp little dress after hre afternoon bath is one way to en- courage her to like pretty clothes. Shorts and shirts are all right for the morning. But she should wear dresses in the afternoon. If the mother will let her help pick out the dresses-in the colors she likes and if both Mother and Father will tell her occasionally how pretty she looks, 1t won't be long before she will take pride in her appearance.
 Let your tile daughter play the games she likes, Mother, but en. courage her to care about looking nice. r

 The smart woman chooses her fal hairstyle before she gets new permanent wave. She knows that g coiffure has a good chance of turn. ing out satisfactorily if it was plan ned before the haircut which im- mediately preceded the permanent
 She knows, too, that any coif- lure, whether it's short and casual brushed upward with curls on tor or quite long and intended to be tucked into one of the new half snoods, can be no better than the permanent wave over which 1t is built. Frizzy, split ends are unman- ageable, regardless of the length of the hair. Lack of glossy sheen, of- ten due to over-heating, will detract from the charm of the most smart ly conceived hair style.
 It's important to get your hair back into really good, pre-summez condition before you make an ap- pointment for permanent. At least two, and preferably three weeks be- fore you intend to get 1t, begin brushing hair and massaging scalp every single night.
 Have or give yourself Q hot oil treatment once week. Use-exactly according to directions "a special tonic to correct whatever scalp ail- ment you happen to have. Dryness excessive oilness and dandruf all fal Into the ailments category. DISCUSS HAIR-DO

 When you have done your part to get your hair back to normal after months of over-exposure tc sunshine, discuss the matter of a new coiffure with the hairdressei who is going to give you permanent If possible, let him see your new fall hat.

 The new woolens admirably com- bine the four main requisites of a coat fabric-simplicity, character, drape and warmth. One of the high- lights of the season is triple twill, a new kind of worsted material. This is warm but not bulky and is highly recommended for mature fig- ures. A new version of that old fa- vorite, the wool with texture re. sembling needlepoint. has a faint vertical rib which creates an effect not much unlike pile velvet.

DO YOU PLAY HE PAUME ?"
 TENNIS, TO YOU

ing two centuries many renowned players were developed.
 Historians credit Major Walter Wingfeld, 8 British Army officer, with introducing and popularizing modern lawn tennis. About 1874 he applied for a patent for "a new and improved portable court for play ing the ancient game of tennis" The Major called it "Phariristike," i" and introduced it at a lawn party at his home in England. It was greeted with great enthusiasm and was carried by some of the guests to Bermuda, whence it appears to have been brought to the United States early the following year by an American girl, Miss Mary Outer bridge. Immediately it began to gain great favor, but there was much confusion over rules and the proper method of play, with no standardization of equipment. AS a result, on May 21, 1881, meeting was called, with B tennis clubs participating, and the United States Lawn Tennis Association was formed. Since that time control of all national amateur championship tournaments in the United States has been in the hands of that or ganization, and tennis has become one of the nations leading sports.

Summer Snow White Wings Go to Work When New York Welcomes
 H eroes.

It is a hot summer day; New York is sweltering in the sun. Above the noise of the city rises the penetrating drone of hun dred airplanes flying in forma- tion, the hoarse below of ocean liners; the scream of Sirens-New York is welcoming a national hero.
 As the hero and his accompany ing dignitaries move up Broadway, seeming phenomenon takes place New York's summer snow-storm. Down through the canyon of lower Broadway sweeps veritable blizzard of whirling, dancing flakes, settling on the shoulders of hero and worshippers alike, covering the street with blanket inches thick-not snow, but tiny scraps of paper-torn telephone books, ticker ape, anything that will float through the air.
 Research by hte workers of Federal Writers Project of New York City discloses that Theodore Roosevelt was the first hero to be so welcomed. The occasion was his return from his famous African hunting expedition, on June 18, 1910 Since then thousands of tons of Summer snow" have annually been swept up by an army of weary white-wings, coming in the wake of the welcoming parade. For one parade alone-that of the American Legion in 1937-625 tons of torn paper were swept from the streets. But the crowd has fun, the taxpayers don't mind, and it makes more jobs for white wings. Long live the hero.
