Friendship
a
And Pets
Only a Responsible
Youngster Should
Have Animals
Korth Photo.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

There is mistaken notion about
pets for children abroad in the land
and the animals that fall into that
unfortunate class must be relieved,
spared of the suffering they now
endure.
Little children of 3 to S, roughly
measuring, should not be allowed to
have pets. They do not understand
about taking care of them and they
have no idea of the meaning of the
word cruelty" They squeeze the
life out of kittens and wee, helpless
chicks without quiver of the
eyelid and they calmly sit down on
puppy and ignore his anguished
appeals for mercy.
That kind of experience does not
teach little children kindness to
animals, something every civilized
human being should understand
fully. Because they are unmoved
by an animals pain they get that
wooden notion that animals don't
count in their minds, and it is hard
to get it out again. I am sure that
the people who leave their dogs and
cats on the street when they move
or go away on trip were trained
in that wooden-headed fashion.
Otherwise how could they leave a
pet animal homeless and 60 blithely
on their way? am sure they have
that same blank spot in their minds
toward helpless creatures that they
had in the days of their infancy.
Taking responsibility for a pet Is
valuable training for child. It
opens a world of experience to him

that cannot fail to enrich his life
and character. No child can care
for dog, live with him, share with
him, know his affection and loyalty
without being better human being.
But little ones of and of the i'm
maturity of that age class cannot
assume such responsibility and SO
cannot have enriching experiences
in that relation. For them, no live
pets whatever.
Some parents think that ire
sponsible children can be helped to
responsibility by having the care of
pet. Sometimes that works, but
oftener it does not because the
child whose lack of responsibility is
so marked as to demand special at
tention usually needs something
more fundamental than the care of
a pet. would give dog or pony
or goat to boy or girl who had
proved a sense of responsibility by
his or her behavior rather than be-
stow one on the child who lacked it.
Once child has pet he should
take care of it as far as he is
physically and mentally able to do
so. He can comb and brush him,
feed and water him, exercise him,
play and talk with him, and he
should do so. If his mother must
feed and clean and tend the pet he
should be given to some child ready
for the task
The point of importance in this
matter of pets for children is the
effect that the companionship of the
pet has on the character of the child.
If he is cruel to the helpless crea-
ture dependent upon him his char
acter is being injured every day he
has the power over the animal. If
he is kind, friendly, affectionate and
careful in all his relations to his
pet, then he is proflting richly by

Skin Mosques
Beautify as
You Work
Stimulate Facial
Muscles to Keep
Contours Firm
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Time was when woman would
have TO give up half day in order
to bring new beauty to her skin by
the aid of a masque. 1t took trained
fingers to apply it and remove it. 1t
took several dollars from your poe
textbook. So the little lady who had
but little money for beauty was de-
MED the quickest method to stimu-
late lazy skin.
Today, plentiful are the prepara-
tions which a woman may use at
home to refine coarse skin textures
and to lift sagging, relaxed contours.
And the modern thing about them,
in this age of speed, she may carry
on her duties while the connections
are restoring or enhancing skin
beauty!
OF course, each outstanding salon
has a special, special masque which
must be applied within it's treatment
rooms. These involve elaborate
equipment and intricate timing and
are we'll worth your time and money
if you can afford both. For it stands
to reason that trained operators
know the better how to bind up your
facial contours for a frming, and
they also are better judges than you
as to which bleaching agents, lubri-
cations and refining creams your
hungry skin needs. Such masque
treatments never take less than an
hour and they cost from SO up to $40
treatment.
Home masques vary in method of
application and in consistency
Many of them come in cream form
which either drys in hard firming
pack on your face or remains creamy
until the end of the treatment. To
use them is simple. After thorough
cream cleansing you spread the
masque on in smooth film and
leave it from 10 minutes to half
hour, according to directions. You
may look like a sister to a ghost, as
you 60 about your business, but
there is no other handicap. Your
skin gets a good tingling stimulating
and when the preparation is removed
you are very pleased with the work
of magic! Your skin looks new!
If you have been i'll, or if you are
older, and your face muscles are not
so firm as those of youth, you find
greater satisfaction in the fabric
masques. One such innovation is
made of treated silk, cut to give firm
support to chin and face contours.
You dip this into an astringent To-
ton, place it over your face and tie
strategically placed ribbons so it
feels like a new tight skin. AS the
lotion dries your f1abby muscles are
firmed and your skin gets a good
caressing, too. You can read, bathe,
telephone, or do any work while the
thing is bringing you skin loveliness.
Naturally, it is popular, for you may
use it over, and over again.
If you are one to prefer ''home
remedy" you might like to try my
gelatine masque, made with ingredi-
ents from your pantry shelf. In
close a self-addressed, stamped g.
cent? envelope if you request this
leaf1et. The masque is easily made
and serves we'll if you cannot afford
one of the better commercial prepa-
rations. Write me care of this
paper.

they were surprisingly close to
unanimous on number of traits,
and here they are:
BOYS LIKE
Maids who make = good appear
ance. Beauty is by no means a
must" but neatness, good posture,
good grooming, attractive and ap-
propriate clothes are definitely re-
quired. Johnny wants to be proud of
the way you look. If you're a natural
knockout, fine; if not, you can ac-
complish the same effect by dressing
charmingly, and by having the fresh,
clean look that all men love.
Girls who are sympathetic and un-
derstanding. The old male ego
Graves to be petted and patted. A
boy simply can't stay away from a
girl who is breathlessly-but sin
cerely-interested in him and his
affairs. She makes him feel impor-
tant-and he keeps coming back for
more of the same delicious dose.
GOOd-natured misses with a sense
humor. Not wise-crackers, under
derstand-but cheerful happy girls
who enjoy life and possess natural
instinct for fun.
Girls who are alert and alive.
The maid who is full of zip and
bubbling with enthusiasm is bound
to get play, because her high spir-
its are contagious. But the quieter
girl can be just as popular if she is
vitally interested in life and living,
instead of being bored or blase.
Good sports and good losers.
Winners, complainers, Jealous Jo-
sephines, Alibi Alices, and Pouting
Pearls are definitely not wanted.
Good craftsmanship is part of a
fellows creed, and he demands it in
girls as we'll as in boys
Modest Maidens with p0ise and
dignity. Prudes win no popularity
prizes, but any man admires the girl
who is quietly assured and self-pos-
sessed. You don't have to be stiff
necked, but you'll avoid anything
that is loud or cheap or conspicuous.
Girls who are honest and sincere.

breaking and coming down to rea-
sonable levels before long. Chuck
roasts and leg of lamb are recon-
mended as good buys this week end.
Ready-cooked hams appeal to the
busy housewife. and have not in
creased appreciably in price-neither
has bacon. There is plenty of coun-
try sausage available at low cost
and some of the best of it is made
before your very eyes right here at
some of the stalls in the large WASH
ington markets. You can be sure
that you get all pork and the best
of seasonings when you can watch
the process from beginning to end.
But the really thrifty housekeeper
will keep her eye on poultry for the
next few weeks. Chickens will rank
as the best buys of all for the aver
age household. There are plenty Of
them, from roaSterS to fryerS to
fowls, and, with the reported in
crease lately in the price of feed,
more and more poultrymen are mar
keting their chickens rather than
keep them. OF course, the pendu-
lum will probably swing, I'm told
about the end of November, when
the new crop of young chickens now
coming along will have to be put on
the market-and their price will
necessarily have to be bit higher
to compensate for the cost of their
feed. But right now is poultry high
tide-and should be for the next
several weeks. What this marketing
of layers will do later on to the
price of eggs presents another prob
lem!
Fresh turkeys went so big" over
last week end that there are not so
many of them to be found just now,
but if you look around in the differ
ent markets, you can obtain few
excellent ones. They are not eX-
pensive and go long way toward
feeding a family over couple of
days-for turkey leftovers are al
ways better than turkey just cooked!
Fish Supplies
Better.
Apparently the fish have decided
to call off their war scare, too, ana
come out of hiding, because supplies
have been much better lately
saw lovely golden carp this morning
at one dealers and some of the
finest founders encountered in a
long time. Nice little butterf1sh-
and enormous jumbo soft-shell crabs
that are just about perfect. Seal
lops are good, too, and ridiculously
low in price. With meat prices test
ing the strength of every ones
budget, it is well to concentrate
more on fish, for we in Washington
are mighty lucky in having supply
of delicious seafood at low cost all
the year around.
If you have a family that "just
doesn't like fish," you should really
set to work to make them change
their minds, by serving it to them
in all sorts of unusual and interest
ing ways. They will, eventually,
welcome the change from hamburg,
chops and steak-and you will have
broadened your culinary field in an
inexpensive and delightful fashion.
Native Grapes for
Jelly or Wine.
Piled high in baskets at the pro-
duce counters, I found plenty of
those small, native blue grapes that

the farmers call chicken grapes" ."
These are particularly good for max
ing jelly or wine. They are soms-
what tart, very firm and do not seem
too ripe. The deep-green Niagaras
are pretty to look at, and their odd
color gives accent to any fruit bowl.
They are full of juice and flavor,
too. Seedless grapes, Tokays, white
malagas, Concords and Delawares
are all priced very low. I saw some
tiny native green gage plums. 1t
made me realize how we have to be
thankful to the big fruit growers,
when I compared their large, beau
tiful specimens with the runty little
fellows.
For canning and preserving en-
thusiasts, there is a wealth of ma
terial. Crabapples, damsons (have
you ever forgotten grandma's dam
son jam on hot cornbread?), seckel
pears, blueberries from Maine, and
SO on.
There are fine melons to be had
Christmas melons, Rocky Ford and
Colorado cantaloupes, honeydews
and casabas. Grapefruit from the
Isle of Pines are relief after the
storaged variety. And there are still
plenty of fresh prunes to be had.
Tomatoes are very cheap-in fact
all vegetables seem to be keeping
within the loW-cost brackets, with
the possible exception of potatoes
which have gone up a bit. Cauli-
flower from California is coming in,
and is fine, white and firm. Savoy
cabbage needs cold weather to be
at its best, and summer squash is
undergoing a sinking spell. Other
items seem about the same as last
week.

Dear Dorothy: I was born a

boy. I don't want to do things like
girl. I want to travel like men
can. Work my way on a tramp
steamship, hitch-hike, do exciting
things. But I can't. The men on
tramp steamships won't allow women
on board and I don't think that a
girl gets anything out of hitch
hiking. Being a girl bores me. I
want to live boys life and I can't.

Nowadays a girl can follow any

Dear Miss Dix: I wonder If
you can tell me what Is wrong with
my technique. Whenever I get in

of my friends and tells me that she
hopes I will always be just like a
brother to her-and I am beginning
to get worried about it. A. B. C.
Answer-well, you have one con-
ISOLATION, anyway. You must be a
man of fine taste and discrimination
in girls. A good picker. For when
you put your brand of approval upon
one it attracts other men to her and
they snap her up.
Some men are like that. They are
virtually a first aid to matrimony.
They 60 through life performing
other mems marriages and ringing
the wedding bells for girls who had
never had a date until they began
going with them. In every COM
munity you will find bachelors who
have been best men so often that
they have become professionals, and
who have given a small fortune in
bridal presents and subsequent teeth
ing rings for babies who were named
after them by grateful couples who
say, John, we feel that we owe it all
to YOU
Now, what's the matter with the
technique of these men who are al
ways headed toward the altar but
never get there? Nobody knows. May
be it is their timing. Perhaps they
are a little slow. They can't quite
make up their minds whether they
want to marry or not. They dilly-

the question some other lad who is
quicker on the trigger does it and
walks off with the girl.
