Silent Treatment
Works Wonders
Many Times
By ANGELO PATRI.

For the convenience of physicians
and nurses standard charts for
weights and measurements have
been made. A child of a certain
height and age usually weighs a
certain number of pounds. That
number is obtained by striking an
average and everybody who deals
with children knows that there is
no average child. Each child must
be taken by himself. The standard
gives the physician hint as to
what to look for, but if that hint
does not prove to have meaning it
does not matter.
Mothers worry about the weight
of their children, often without
cause "Morry is five pounds under
weight, but he won't eat any more
for me-" The boy is well, active
happy, working we'll in school and
playing well with his. companions
There is no need for anxiety. Morry
is well for Morry.
The story teller teacher says that
children from 3 to 6 like certain
stories, which she lists. Most chill
dren do like those stories But
Sonny won't listen to a story. He
pokes his fingers in his ears and
sings, La ala" when I try to tell
him about the three bears"
Then don't try to tell him. Maybe
Sonny isn't ready to listen to story
yet. Maybe he will listen next year.
Maybe he never will. What of it?
Sonny is intelligent, he plays well,
he is interested and curious about
what is going on about him. He is
doing we'll for Sonny, What the
other children like or dislike is not
important to him. AS long as he is
intelligent, healthy and active, don t
worry.
I'm worried about Jackie. He
told me that he was never going to
60 to school. He was always going
to stay home with me. l am afraid
I am going to have trouble with him
when it is time to 60 to school,"
Jackie is 3 years old. He will be a
different child by the time he is S
or g. He will have forgotten what
he said at 3. Don't store up his
childish remarks. If he says some
thing like this about not going to
school, keep silent, change the sub
ject, direct his attention to some
thing else as soon as possible. Don't
argue the point. Let time and ex-
perience attend to that
Children aged or thereabout are
often heard, and If they can excite
adult interest by stating that they
are not going to do this or that to-
be-expected thing, such as going to
church, to bed, to school, to wash
their hands, they will surely put on
a performance.
The best way to treat them is by
silence, the calm disinterested 81
lence of the positive intelligent
mind. The child feels that power
and decides it is useless to combat
it and tries another way. Head him
off by directing him to some active
and, if possible, interesting, occu-
patton. Don't argue with him and
don't worry.
Normal children tend to grow uI
into wholesome, active human be-
ings. They have odd ways of be-
havior, some of them annoying. but
they seldom 60 far astray. Don't
worry about them. Just try to enjoy

the street the less he likes Skinnys
attitude. Finally he becomes fed
up, and takes poke at Skinny. And
another friendship bites the dust!
The answer to these problems is
simply the fact that Helen and Jack
are growing up. It's natural and
normal, and any attempt on Meg's
or Skinny's part to interfere can
cause nothing but trouble. 1t isn't
that Helen is callously forsaking
Meg, or that Jack is giving Skinny
brush-off. It's just that a new
phase in their lives is developing
and Meg and Skinny are running a
step or two behind.
Clear Thinking
Is Needed.
The situation calls for some clear
thinking and some kind considera-
ton on the part of all four persons
concerned. Meg and Skinny must
realize that they can still be Helen's
or Jacks best friend, in spite of any
romance that is developing. But
they must not make themselves OBJ
stacles to that romance. They must
avoid, above all else, putting Helen
or Jack in the position of having to
choose between an old friend of the
same sex and new interest of the
opposite sex.
But Helen and Jack must also re-
member that they owe something to
Meg and Skinny. They should real
ize that these old friends are almost
inevitably going to be hurt by this
sudden shift in interest, and do
everything possible to make it easy
for them They should help them
see that the new romance is not dis
placing the old friendship, but is
something entirely different. And
if Meg and Skinny will be little
patient it will happen to them, too.

You may not be familiar with the
silverfish, but if some day you pick
up ittle-used volume from your
bookcase and find the binding de-
faced, you'd better get acquainted.
This wingless insect, so-called be-
cause of it's silvery or pearl gray
appearance, has an especial fond
ness for starchy or sized materials
and will eat the gold lettering off
book covers to get at the glue be-
meath. 1t is also named Slicker be-
cause of its quickness in lodging
pursuit and slipping out of our
fingers if grasped. 1t is easily iden-
titled by the two long feelers on
the head and three long tail-hke
appendages at the end of the body.
This insect also attacks wallpaper
and gummed labels, starched COL
lars and cuffs. laces, silks and tapes
tries that have been sized or filled
as well as many other things that
are kept in dark poorly-aired places.
Killing them off, then, demands lib
eral spraying of book shelves, base
boards, cracks in walls and damp
places, sinks and bathrooms. This
should be done once or twice a
month.
Fleas may present a serious prob
lem if you have dogs or cats in
the home. These insects frequently
leave the animals from time to time.
They may become abundant in rugs
and furniture, in cracks, in floors
and in Easements, and cause seri-
Gus annoyance and pain to persons
by their bites. Spray kennels and
bedding of animals with a good
household spray, repeating the
treatment as necessary because
animals constantly become rein
tested. On the bodies of dogs and
cats use a good flea powder, fol-
lowing the manufacturer recon-
mendations for the method of ap-
plication. If your pets eyes and
nose are carefully protected when
applying this remedy. the fine pow
der will not cause discomfort.

nerability and finds the means fol-

And speaking Of arrangements,
we are noticing more and more
women going back to short hair,
especially with the hot weather
just around the corner. One of
the most unusual and smart look
ing styles we've seen lately is the
very short cut with the back sWirled
and arranged in what is almost an
abbreviated page boy. Not the long,
foppy kind. but neat, trim and
chic arrangement of turning the
hair under in the back. All sorts
of styles can be worked out, de-
pending, of course, upon the con-
tour of your head and the shape of
your face-to say nothing of your
own particular type and personality.
There are so many things to be
taken into consideration when you
have your new coiffure designed
And, of course, this is permanent
wave season, so don't forget the
Importance of reconditioning treat
ments and correct shaping and
waving-but more about that in the

Incidentally, we were terrifically
impressed the other day in this
same shop where we learned all
about cowlicks. 1t seems that their
newest innovati ton is to present
each patron with pair of brown
paper slippers to put on during
her stay in the salon. With this
hot weather and our usually burn
ing and aching feet, it's going to
be blessing. They'll even show
you exercises to rest and relax your
feet before you leave so you'll ster

casions Helen, with sincere apologies,
called off some informal arrange
ment with Meg, in order to have a
date with the boy. Once or twice
Meg dropped over to see Helen and
found the boy there. In other words,
Meg had rival!
She reacted to the situation by
becoming jealous and possessive.
She tried to turn Helen against the
boy. She fought with every weapon
at her command to maintain her
old position in Helen's scheme Of
things. She refused to break an
engagement, even a tentative one,
for the boys benefit. She accused
Helen of being boy-crazy, and read
her lectures on the clothes she wore,
the makeup she used and the way
she acted when the boy was around.
The result? Well Meg and Helen
are no longer friends. All the good
times they had had together, all
the mutual affection and respect
they had for each other Gended in
bitterness and tears. And all be-
cause Meg didn't realize that she
was fighting a hopeless battle, that
she was beaten before she started.

Boys, Too.
This situation arises frequently
among girls who have been close
friends. Much the same thing hap

Unusual Situation
When Ones Son Is
Guest of Honor
BY EMILY POST,

Ordinarily, of course, the lady OF
honor at dinner is seated on the
right Of the host, and gentleman
guest of honor on the right of the
hostess. However, the following sit
uation is exceptional because the
guest Of honor is son of the hosts.
The mothers letter explains fur
ther: This son is to be ordained
as a priest and the dinner is in
his honor. There will be relatives
and five or six visiting priests at
the dinner"
In this case the fact that people
| are all invited to the dinner in his
honor makes it clear that the dinner
is for him. He would certainly
waive the seat of honor at the right
of his mother in favor of one Of

Dear Mrs. Post: Would Ice cream

refreshments to serve after mid
| morning wedding? We are not
going to be able to serve a real
breakfast and yet we have our
doubts as to whether the ice cream
would be proper at a morning hour.

cakes would be very welcome in
place of sandwiches should the day
be hot. But a fruit punch or some
other cold beverage is necessary!
You can't drink a toast to the bride

An ice-cold punch or orangeade
and the wedding cake, of course, are
essential. To these you might add
ice cream and small cakes, but they
couldn't replace the former.
