Gently and harmlessly as he expected.
There was good-looking woman

old story you have heard thousands
of times.
He had been as domestic as the

children. but suddenly homemade

But the lady thought otherwise,
and when he wanted to return to
the bosom Of his family the going
wasn't so good. She threatened
scandal. the breaking up of his
home, and the man discovered that,
as the old phrase goes, he had tied
knot with his tongue that he
couldn't unite with his teeth.
Many man is caught in that sort

would ask for divorce. Don't let

Don't Neglect the
First.Born for
Second Child
BY ANGELO PATRI.

The 2-year-old child is likely to
be overlooked when the second baby
comes His mother has her hands
full and under the pressure of
household duties, infant care and
social obligations, she easily falls
into the notion that hes quite big
enough to look out for himself a
Bit" The "bit" is where the mis-
chief begins.
A 2-year-old can help himself
little. He still must have help in
dressing, some attention when he is
eating, and much supervision once
removed, and that means keeping
him in sight most of the time. He
is only "a months from helplessness
and that's not much If you measure
it against 80 years, which is the time
of maturity these days.
Most of all this little one needs to
feel that his mother still cares for
him. He needs to be taken on his
mothers lap now and then and
Rugged and loved. He needs to feel
that for this time, at least, he is the
whole of life to his mother. He
needs to be chartered to, not talked
to as if he were a matured person.
He wants to hear a story about the
dog, the fairy or the man in the
moon.
This little session with his mother
is his most intense instruction hour.
Lessons do not have to be in the
books. They are best when they
come in terms of stories, converse
tions and just chattering intercourse.
1t is here that the child gets his
first and, therefore, most lasting
lessons in language, speech. ethics,
good taste for living. It is here that
he sets lasting relationship with
his mother.
Mothers are busy people, far too
busy most of the time. 1t is difficult
for them to get time out for an hour
of rest and a period of togetherness
with one little child when there are
others as eager for her companion
ship is not easy to manage. Here is
where good aunts and devoted
grandmothers and grandfathers
come into the family group.
That is what family means. No
children should have to grow up
without the loving wisdom Of grand
parents showered upon them.
Mothers are anxious and so likely to
be too narrow in their management
of the little ones. The "grands'
know that much of what we worry
about is not important and so are
likely to loosen up delightfully."-. This
offers relief to the family and espe-
cially to the mother.
know that many young mothers
will cry me down here because the
"grands" break up their carefully set
discipline and routine. That is true.
They will and they do. Take 1t as it
comes Know that you, the mother,
have the strongest hold on the
child, and it is what you say and
what you do that gives him his char
acter and quality. Just take it easy
and make the most Of the situation
Mothers are the managers of the
home, the community and the ma
ton. They need all the cooperation
they can get, and it is wise of them
to take the whole family into part
nership as far as they can with
safety.

Authentic Mahogany

The first known mahogany came
from the West Indies and has been
used for over 400 years. The most.
used mahogany now comes from
Central America and it has been
used for some 300 years. Honduras
and Mexico have been the principal
sources. African mahogany has only
been known about 100 years and
commercially important about so
years. The most recent source of
genuine mahogany is the upper
Amazon region in Western Brazil
and Peru. Mahogany was discov-
cred in this region less than 20
years ago.
So-called philippine mahogany"
is a much disputed trade name for
the wood of number of different
kinds of trees of the Dipterocarp
family, that. are no more related to
the trees that produce genuine ma
hogany than are birch or gum.
East Indian" mahogany is now
called by its correct name. padauk,
while so-called white mahogany"
is better known by its real name,

Brides Write
Note of
Thanks
Other Gift.Giving
Occasions Less
Significant
By EMILY POST.

To take time to look at q birth
day or Christmas present and TO
show your appreciation Is all that
is usually necessary. The case OF
a bride is different. She is expected
to send a note, in addition to thank
ing a person verbally, for two rea-
sons: First, because she probably
has very little chance to look at the
present when 1t Is sent to her among
many others: second, because
friends, as well as families, make
considerable effort to give the incest
present they can afford-sometimes
they go quite far beyond this. A
birthday present, on the other hand,
is probably a present much more
casually chosen.
This thank you note" problem
was encountered by a reader. who
asks: 'Is 1t necessary for a young
girl to write thank you note for a
present which her aunt gave her In
person on her birthday anniver-
sary? The girl opened the package
and said, THANK you," and showed
her delight, but did not write to the
aunt after that. I understand the
aunt thinks she ought to have writ
en-"
Unless 1t was present Of very
great value (either sentimentally or
intrinsically), thanking her as she
did should have been quite enough.
Dear Mrs. Post. Please give me
the directions for giving a large
evening party in honor of my son
and his bride. They are arriving
here to visit us and I would like to
invite all our friends and relatives
and my sons younger friends
whom he hasn't seen in several
years-to the party I have in mind.
1t will be a big gathering. but I
want to KEEP it informal and have
just about the least that would be
proper in the way of refreshments.
In other words, the emphasis is to
be on hospitality and not on food.
Must there be music at such an
evening party?
Answer-Write your invitation
across the top of your and your
husbands double visiting card, ITO
meet Mr. and Mrs New-wed." and in
the lower left-hand corner write the
date. Saturday, october s." and
under that, either "at 9 o'clock" or
"at $50" If you write from TO
TO-" this would suggest that they
could come in at any time-as to a
reception in the afternoon. Music
would, of course, make it very gay.
In fact, if you could have three, or
even two musicians. it would add
much more to the party than any
amount of additional food. To the
younger boys and girls, food is of
least importance. Sandwiches, punch
of some sort, coffee and cakes would
be plenty.

the other day 1 heard that they are
trying to produce gloves of the ma
trial! You know I'm not of a Gym

sounds just little too clammy for
my taste, even though it would show

"Of course you know, Mable, that
my regular assignment is women's

just naturally carried me into the
discussion of mems clothes with a
gentleman the other day. He was
in town showing off a collection of
masculine accessories made of viny-
lite-and they really couldn't be

them already and will have the rest
within a couple of weeks. They call
the plastic live glass; which has a
nice interesting sound, don't you
think? Anyway, there are clear

braided, and braces 1--WE used to call
'em suspenders), made in the same
fashion.
Then, you won't believe it, but
the live glass is braided in narrow
widths and used for the best-looking
key chains you ever want to see!
These are plain or colored. too. FL
nally, they've gotten around to max
ing billfolds of the stuff! Now this
is really an ideal arrangement, be-
cause you can see your cards and
money right through the wallet and
it will certainly make for greater
efficiency. Some are plain and others
are trimmed with genuine leather
to set them off beautifully. AS a
matter of fact. the girls should be
just as enthusiastic about them as
the men, since all us busy business
women have taken 70 carrying bill
folds.

this Is untrue. because I have seen

Petain Frankly Tells
French Their Future
Holds Little Hope
Mojor Tosk Is to Revive
Foith in Leadership,
Undermined by Politics
By PAUL GHALI.

BY PAUL GHALI,
Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent
VICHY, Aug 14.-Frenchmen
have more reasons to fear than to
hope and the 84-year-old head of
Petain, assumed the courageous if
unpalatable task of telling them so
In a nationwide broadcast last night.
Frankly enumerating the difficul-
ties facing the French government
which the people have the right to
know, the aged marshal held out
some hope to the people, but he did
not shirk the facts.
France today must understand
how difficult is the task of her lead
ers, the aged Chief of State averred.
And he spoke of what the govern
ment had already accomplished and
would accomplish than of the future
of the country which is darkly hid
den. He did not seek to disguise the
fact that the government removal
to Paris has been postponed for the
time being
Disappointment to Some.
Possibly this came as disap-
pointment to many who had hoped
to find life in Paris more agreeable
than that in Vichy. But it was GER
tainly approved by the real friends
of France who had feared that the
Vichy regime might put itself into
the VOLTS mouth.
Perhaps an understandable but
nonetheless regrettable omission
from the marshal's speech was any
detailed report of the actual diff
culties the Government has been
having in its negotiations with the
Germans and the firm attitude it
has at times adopted in face of Ger
man demands. Public opinion here
and abroad should be informed that
the Government of Marshal Petain
is not in the hands of the Nazis and
is doing its best to resist pressure
by them.
The marshal ended his radio
speech with illusions to the prewar
French regime. For rs years French
politics cultivated grumbling ways,
each party criticzing the other and
making fallacious promises in order
to be reelected. This is truly fin-
ished now. judging from the mar
shal's speech. A regime of hard
truths has succeeded regimes of
promises.
Seek to Rebuild Faith.
The excuse of the French for
their pre-war habits is that since
the middle of the 10th century
Frenchmen had ceased completely to
have faith in their political institu-
tions. What has been Germany's
and Italy,s greatest force has been
entirely lacking in France. Now
the governments primary duty is to
give this country good institutions
and to establish faith in them. This
is a difficult job But it is more
useful to the country than criticism.
Accusations against former gov
ernment members were yesterday
brought at the Riom trial and a
commission of three members was
appointed to inquire into these
charges. This inquiry is likely to
last for at least a month Members
of the three-man body are Henri
Lagarde. Louis-Jacques Tanon and
Magistrate Baraveau.
