care that's way up on our list. Made
by a firm especially famous for its
fine nail polishes. it contains hand
lotion, hand massage cream and a
pair of mittens which are actually
comfortable! The hand lotion is
smooth and creamy and disappears

cellent when used before retiring
and is rubbed on with simple mas
sage strokes listed on the package.
The mittens. of course, will prevent
the cream from smearing over the
pillow slip even though they are
porous enough to keep your hands
pleasantly comfortable. A good idea
is to apply the cream and mitts next
time you're relaxing before an eve
ning's engagement. You'll be de-
lighted to see how wonderfully
smooth and attractive your hands
will be. for, needless to say, you
realize that they are often noticed
and, we hope, admired. So, it's wise
to keep them looking their best at
all times, and this is certainly an
easy and very practical way to do
just that Resolve right now to care
for your hands as faithfully as you
do your face-and then watch the

Calling Girl Before Taking Her Out Still the Thing
|DisObedience
Rises From
Pressure
| Give Order Slowly
| And Firmly for
| Best Results
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Most of the disobedience of little
children is caused by the attitude
of those in charge of them. They
give too many directions, and they
care about only a few of them.
When they do not really care
whether child heeds or not they
give scant attention to his response.
If he sits up straight when some
body tells him to, good; if not. why
bother? If he comes when he is
called, good; if not, well, he will
come by and by, or when he is called
in earnest. That is poor way to
train children if one wants to &C.
custom them to obedience.
And yet that is usual in many
households. Direction after di-
rection is fired at the child. Some
times he heeds, sometimes, oftener
than otherwise, he does not. BY
and by the time comes when the
adult is in hurry and wants in
slant obedience. OF course he
does not get it, and of course he
is put out about it. If it happens
to be father, he wants to know why
mother doesn't train that child OF
hers to mind. If it happens to be
mother, she goes after him in no
uncertain mood and fetches him
along, smartly, and with many
words, amid uproar and tears.
The fact is that a child needs
few directions to which he should
give instant obedience But there
are few and they must be kept
clearly in the parents mind, and
held firmly in the mind of the
child. Instead of telling a child
to do this and stop doing that
all day long, be casual about the
things that are unimportant, don't
feel compelled to see and to hear
and correct everything he does.
Skip most of it and give him
direction only when you mean to
have it obeyed. If that is done
the child soon learns to obey
promptly and cheerfully, and those
in charge of him feel greatly re-
lieved to know that he can be
counted on when the time comes
for it,
Children tire easily under pres
: sure. Their nervous systems are
not perfected and seasoned as ours
are and any call upon them means
fatigue. If the calls are constant,
the child becomes so fatigued that
his nerve centers close down for
repairs. Then the child does not
hear when he is spoken to, does not
see clearly. cannot think clearly.
There is likely to be temper tan
trum with all its allied difficulties.
All this can be avoided if one
learns to speak firmly, to call for
obedience only when it is impor-
tant to the child and those close
to him. Mean to be obeyed Mean
what you say. There is force in
thought and when your thought
is clear, strong, directed to one
point, its force is powerful and calls
for prompt response.
When you are clear in your
thought as to what and why and
when, as you speak to child you
do not have to shout to put power
in your voice. The power of the
thought behind your words puts
full force into the tones of your
voice and you can speak clearly
in your usual tone and get the
response you want.

bashful or shy. I dance well, like
girls and go out quite bit. But I
just like to be courteous and do
things in conventional manner"
Good for you, Grad, 1899! We're
all for the courtesy, but we certainly
don't think you should be hesitant
about asking girl for parlor date.
Unless she is gold-digger, or one OF
these Cruising Claras who visits her
home port only to take on supplies
and freshen up her paint job, she
expects to entertain boy at home
at least part of the time.
In fact, according to the rules OF
good manners, which are generally
and blithely ignored by many young
moderns, a lad is duty-bound to call
at girls home and meet her fam
lily before taking her out. Your
crowd may not stick to this rule,
or even know about it, but you
can console yourself in the knowl-
edge that you are being perfectly
correct in asking new girl if you
can come to see her. And If she
knows her way around. she'll re-
spect you more because you observe
this convention.
Naturally. any girl is going to
get pretty sick of young man if
he comes over to see her week after
week, yet never treats her to a
movie or party. But if you've
taken Genevieve out once or twice
since the last time you lounged in
her living room, don't be hesitant
about asking her if you can come
over next Friday night. If she shows
little enthusiasm toward the idea,
the fault is Genevieve's. and not
yours. She just hasn't learned to
play the game according to the
rules.
So we'd suggest the following pro-
cedure for any swain who wants to
be considered smooth:
You meet Margie and would like
to know her better. You would
also like to follow the conventions
and meet her family before taking
her out, but you're not sure that
Margie plays that way. You don't
wish to make her think you're a
formal stick if she doesn't. nor do
you want her to get the idea that
you will be one of those parlor para
sites who will come to see her often,
but never take her out
So what do you do? Well, look
ahead a couple of weeks to some
social event which you think she
might like to attend. 1t might be
party or dance. or particularly

local theater. Invite her to 20 to

In order for the family to get a
good rest az night, Kitty, too, must
be induced to welcome the arms
of Morpheus Of course, absence
is also a solution-eXcept that the
absence of very special cat is hard
ly soothing to its master. The mas
ter, indeed, may spend the whole
night tending the lighted lamp
placed in the window to guide the
Wayward ones footsteps safely to-
ward home and a bowl of warm
milk.
A cat that is usually put out"
and forgotten until he news his
way in with the cook in the morn
ing, is fairly helpful. Only, some
times he pays off all his entertain
ment debts right under the boss
window, and when bunch of the
feline boys get to whooping it up
in the wee sma' hours, Sweet Ade-
line" sung by the barber shop quar-
tet would sound like the finest aria
in comparison.
So, the thing to do, if possible,
is to arrange the cats schedule so
that he will welcome sleep-nay, in
fact, seek it out, and bury himself
in it until the smell of sizzling
bacon rouses him next morning
The main rules are to feed and ex-
ercise the critter. Wear him down,
if not out. Give him a good meal
before he is to 60 to bed, see that
his sleeping quarters are warm. dry
and quiet-you can't expect him to
sleep through Baby Snooks any
more than you could-and through
out the day be sure that he gets
good amount of exercise, with a
little excitement, such as the neigh
bor's dog thrown in for good
measure.
A cat that wanders in and out
of the house during the day usually
provides the calisthenics and thrills
for himself, but the cat that must
be accompanied on his outings
needs little consideration in such
matters. And as for the apartment
dwelling cat, who never puts paw
to pavement-well, you'll just have
to romp with him yourself at inter-
walls during the daylight hours if
you want him to subside for the
night.
If you can support two cats
and keep your reason-it is a fine
solution. The team will wrestle,
box and chase each other all day,
until they are plumb tuckered out
come nightfall. A square meal, a
cozy bed, and they pop off to sleep
with no trouble. And you don't
have to play sparring partner,
either

Isn't this a bright idea-a pattern
that includes slip, petticoat and
collar set? Think of the pleasure
you'll get out of it, and the money
you'll save. For your navy frocks
and suits, make the petticoat of
bright plaid taffeta, for instance,
with collar and cuffs to match, so
that if swirl of your skirt reveals
flash of color beneath, as you move
about, why. so much the better!
And, of course, you can repeat the
collar set in many other materials,
too-pique, linen. eyelet embroidery
or sharkskin To wear under your
cottons this summer, make some
slips of linen or batiste, as we'll as

Replace Old
Love With
New One
Dog.in.the.Manger
Attitude of Man
Harmful to Girl
BY DOROTHY DIX.

Dear Miss DIX: My tlance Is
80 years old. Says that he is deeply
in love with me, but that the more
he thinks about marriage the less
he thinks of it. Four months ago he
wanted to get married, but called it
off one week before the wedding
date because he thought I wasn't
quite sure enough of my love for
him. Now I want to marry and set
tie down. and ever since have been
trying to convince him of my af-
fection, but I am getting nowhere
with him and I am wondering if he
will ever change his mind I.have
opportunities to go out with others.
Do you think I had better try to
forget this man, even though I am
very much in love with him?
PERPLEXED GIRL.
Answer-If you want to get mar
ried you had certainly better trans
fer your affections to some more
promising matrimonial prospect. for
this recreant lover who let you down
on your very wedding eve will never
come up to scratch. Perhaps he
did once contemplate marrying you,
but when the fateful time of doing
so drew near and he got to thinking
about the responsibilities of mar
riage and having to work and sup
port a family, and having to sacri-
flee his own tastes and habits to
please wife, and saw his freedom
go glimmering, why, he just simply
got cold feet. And that was that,
and it is going to stay that way,
and no art or artifice of yours is
ever going to drag him to the altar
Surely you are not silly enough
to be taken in by the fimsy excuse
he made for calling off the we'd
ding-that he wasn't sure enough of
your love. Men have broken engage
ments for a million things. but
never for that, because no man ever
suspicious that a woman isn't in
love with him. He just knows she
is because she couldn't help being.
The best cure for the loss of an
old love is to put in a new one. so
don't wear the willow for your ex-
f1ance. Get a new dress that is gay
and cheerful and get into circula-
ton again. But don't make the
mistake of letting the man who has
told you that his attentions are
without intentions hang around. He
is a dog in the manger who will keep
suitors who mean business away
from you.

this event with you, and at the
same time ask her if you can come
over some night between now and
that date.
From Margie's reactions to this
suggestion, you can size up the
situation. If she knows the call
first rule, you have satisfied the
conventions. You have also shown
her that you aren't a confirmed
parlor parker, but that you intend
to take her out and spend dime or
two on her.
If Margie accepts both dates,
you're all set. If she accepts the
party or movie date, but evades the
home call, you'll have to wait and
discover whether she has gold dig
glng tendencies. 1t may be that
she feels simply incapable of enter
tanning a boy on parlor date, or
that some situation at home makes
her hesitant. The thing to do is to
wait and see.
But if girl repeatedly declines
your requests for parlor dates with
out any explanation, you have a
right to be skeptical about her. She
would have an equal right to look
on you with dubious eye If you
always came over. but never took
her out.
It's matter of fair play and give
and take. Jimmy takes June out
when he can afford it. When he
can't, or when there is nothing
worth going out for, June entertains
i'm in her home, and does her
sheerful best to see that ne has a
pleasant evening. Jimmy has
right to expect this, and he feels no
hesitation about asking June to let
him come to see her.
You may have noticed, in our
first paragraph, that automobile and
home proposals account for only
48 per cent of the total.
Just in case you're curious about
the others. We hasten to tell you
that 20 per cent are made on the
street, in parks, on the campus, in
restaurants and other public places:
13 per cent on vacations or while
travelling: 10 per cent at parties and

graph. and 3 per cent in various
other locales. That kid Cupid really

wont to do. Although you probably
use soap with cleansing cream and
tonic, don't think that you can get
away with just any old thing. To
properly cleanse, dust and excess
oil in your face must be removed as
well as surface dirt eliminated. So,
one firm has created a scientific
complexion soap treated with milk
which should not leave your face
with that drawn, stretched feeling.
The milk neutralizes any drying
effects, and, in addition, the finest
and most expensive oils are COM
bined and especially blended to do
away with harshness. Used in
conjunction with a good complexion
brush, this is one of the items you
have probably been seeking-so here
it is.
New Makeup
Color Good.
Another Of our pet items at the
moment is an exciting new color of
makeup which is packaged in the
most novel and good-looking man
ner possible. Created by a very
we'll known firm, the items are done
up to resemble red, white and blue
poker chips, and all are designed to
give an effect that is amusing and
indicative of our truly American
theme this spring. AS fashions
change, beauty aids change with
them, and that's why you'll find the
color of these new cosmetics closely
in harmony with the new reds,
blues, grays and yellows which are
SO important in the style picture.
The tone of the makeup itself is
softly yellowed rose-red which is
vivid enough to be outstanding, but
sufficiently muted to 60 well with
your pastels and other spring color
schemes.
Be sure to watch for the poker
chip" theme all through the modes
for this year, for 1t is surely going
to be taken up in jewelry and other
items before long. You'll find that
the makeup color is really "dif-
ferent,' and that the variety of
items obtainable is complete and
exciting. Or, in words of one syl-
liable, we like it-and you will, too.
