Of Children
Necessary
Deprivations Must
Be Accepted With
Cheerful Smile
By ANGELO PATRI.

These are the days when every
| body has to count pennies. Some
Of us have none to count, but the
children need just as much as ever.
| They need to eat Just as much, wear
! just as much, have just as much
fun and just as much home back
| ground and care. Mothers are
sorely tried to make what they have
stretch over the needs of their fam
lilies. When the children demand
money for shows, school clubs, trips
to museums, money for candy and
for treats, and there is none, mother
feels defeated and depressed. She
wants her children to have all they
want, all they need at least. And
as things are they cannot have
necessities sometimes.
Older children can help their
mothers great deal by telling
them that they understand the con-
dition and that they will ask for
nothing that means extra spending
They can help, too, by using their
heads and their hands to help keep
things more comfortable at home.
Helping with the houseWork, lend
ing hand with the laundry, the
mending, dishwashing, bedmaking,
all helps to relieve the overburdened
mother, working together to keep
home as happy and as comfortable
as possible gives every member of
the family something very precious.
The feeling of family unity is going
to make life happier, more success
full, now and in days to come.
Going to school and staying there
for as complete a school education
as they can take helps the children.
The free schools of America are
the bulwarks of the Nation. The
need for individual culture, training,
skill, service are constant. If the
children keep going to school and
doing their best there, they are
doing all that they can do to help
the family live through the trying
times. And If they try to carry their
share of the home difficulties, share
the deprivations cheerfully, give up
their pleasures without a murmur,
so that father and mother know
nothing about 1t, they are doing
their full duty to home and parents.
These are the days when we must
make little go far. Children must
wear their clothes little longer
They have to eat and enjoy one
dish meals very often, they have to
provide their own entertainment in
stead OF going to the movies and
concerts they would love to attend.
What of it? If they use their in
telligence and devote their love and
understanding to tightening their
fathers and mothers load they will
come through the richer.
It isn't the money. It's the in
telligence and the spirit that counts.
Well come through this trial and
the worthwhile children whose
parents made little 60 for much will
come through, too. They always
have.
Evening star., 1940-03-21
Cleanliness Habits

When a child misbehaves it is often
because he wants attention. He
might even rather be punished than
to be ignored.
When he hangs up his hat and
coat, comes to the table with
thoroughly washed hands, and eats
what is set before him the chances
are his behavior is taken for granted.
But let him use a naughty word,
pinch the baby, or refuse to eat his
spinach, and ten to one he holds the
center of the family stage.
Since it is perfectly natural for a
child to want attention, why not
take particular notice Of the things
he does we'll and ignore occasional
unimportant lapses?
Tell him how pleased you are
when he puts away his toys, gets
good marks on his report card, and
remembers to take clean handker-
chief every morning. Praise for
hands or a neck or knees that are
obviously well-scrubbed with soap
and water will do more to foster
good health and cleanliness habits
than reproof for a smudgy wrist
that has been overlooked.

Dorothy Dix Says 80
Philandering Husbands Not Rewon
By the Use of Tears and Anger

Dear Miss Dix: A very dear
friend OF mine has been married
about II years. She has three chill
dren, beautiful home, car, pretty
clothes, everything she wants ex-
cept a faithful husband. About a
year ago she found out that her
husband had girl friend and ever
since she has made his home life a
hell on earth. Fights with him from
the time he comes home in the
evening until he leaves for work
the next morning. Says filthy things
about the girl, which are not true
and which makes him see red.
Checks up on him every night when
it is time to quit work until he gets
home. Threatens to poison him if
he doesn't break off with the girl.
Goes into Mysteries, screams and all
but throws a fit. / have told her
repeatedly that she is going about
breaking off this affair the wrong
way, but she insists that she is right.
What do you think?-A FRIEND.
Answer-Your friend must have
singuarly little knowledge of human
nature if she thinks she can win
back her husband by torturing him
Vinegar never catches flies, and no
man willingly seeks the society OF a
virago who spends her time berating
him for his faults and making scenes
that fill him with repulsion for her.
1t would seem that any woman
who wasn't an absolute idiot would
know that by such conduct she was
simply driving her husband farther
away from her and handing him
over, as a gift to the other woman.

Felicitating
An Engaged
Couple
To Congratulate
Girl Is a Breach
Of Etiquette
By EMILY POST.

NEVER, NEVER congratulate q
woman on her engagement! Jokes
and cartoons, have, for so long as
living memory goes, seized upon this
as meaning she is lucky to have
found a husband When this Is
said to a spinster of advanced years,
it is naturally more noticeable than
when said to very young girl. This
subject Is brought up by letter
asking: when going to party
given by the mans mother for his
fiancee, should the guests congratu-
late the mother as well as the newly
engaged girl?"
The answer to this is that con-
gratulations are properly given only
to the bridegroom -to-be To his
mother you say whatever comes
naturally to mind. Something
pleasant about both her son and the
girl, or about which ever one you
know best. To the girl you give
your best wishes. If he is an old
friend, you say whatever is pleasant
and true. When you say good-by
to the hostess Gf you do) you tell
her something nice about the girl
that she is interesting or pretty or
charming-Whatever it was about
her that impressed you most.
Dear Mrs. Post: Isn't it bad form
for husband to speak of his wife
as "she" to their maid?
Answer-Decidedly bad form. He
should say Mrs. Jones"
Dear Mrs. Post: I am a widow
and have an only son, who is mar
ried. When his wife and I happen
to be in the same group. what can
people call us in order to distinguish
one from the other?
AnsWer-Whenever she is with
you and among people who do not
call her by her first name, she is
called Mrs" followed by the name
they call your son. If they call him
James, they call her Mrs. James"
If to them he is Jimmy, she is Mrs.
