New Grooming
Accessories.
Dog and cat outfitters have now
borrowed note from the stables. We
have a small canine and feline curry
comb. It's smaller than the horse
variety and the bristles are wires.
But it should never be used on Pups
person proper, because metal bristles
wear down the coat. Just brush too
long in one spot and it looks as
though the moths have been after
the dog. Also, as though they'd
stayed on for some time after they
caught him!
Besides, Pups has very sensitive
skin. These little metal prickles
might scratch him. And he'd start
clawing the scratched spot and start
skin trouble or a reasonable fac
simile. One of the aims of the boss
life Is to keep his skin whole, so he'll
stick to the same old hog bristles
and use the wire contraption to
clean hair off furniture and clothes.
It's really grand for that purpose,
as the wire isn't strong enough to
damage the fabrics if gently used.
It'll clean up anything which, for
some reason or other. wears dog or
cat hair, especially kitten hair. For
nobody has been able to invent
cat repellent powder which they
could guarantee. That is. with the
exception of the type used in shot
guns!

Pilferin1g Is
Causedb
Illness
The Pathological
Stealer Is Not
Easily Cured
BY ANGELO PATRI.

I am one of the people who be-
lteve that habitual stealing is a
symptom of mental illness. This
illness is sometimes inherent in the
nervous system, or the glands of
the unfortunate person. In some
cases the weakness Is set in the
child's system at birth and his en-
vironment develops 1t. In other
cases, I believe, the set is 50 strong
in the beginning that environment,
however fine, has no chance to
strengthen the weak spot until 1t is
eliminated.
When you find a child who, in
spite Of good teaching, good home
environment, habitually steals what
he wants and what he can have
no use for, you can be almost cer-
tain that you are dealing with men
tai illness or mental deficiency. I
say almost because one never can
be positive about child's or any
human beings behavior as long as
he lives. One can 60 only by ex-
perience, personal and that Of those
of authority. ...
Healthy children are more than
likely, at one time or another, to
experiment with a help-yourself
idea. Usually this idea appears in
the early years, first as the ac-
quisitive instinct which drives chill
dren to collect odds and ends
wherever they find them. A little
later as the drive of the personal
self to extend its power by adding
things unto 1t. Still later, about the
pre-adolescent age, we are likely
to flnd children who pilfer money
from the family purse. These mis-
takes can be corrected by sane train
ing, patiently carried through the
time Of need. The other sort of
stealing requires the attention of the
skilled child specialist and the
psychiatrist.
Parents are likely to get into a
panic when child takes things
that do not belong to him and
dramatize this by severe punish
ment. The punishment should not
be severe; 1t should be certain, and
I have found that q calm statement
of the situation, a return of the
article is quite as effective as ex-
cited scolding and whipping. Much
more so.

as to why no dogs are allowed in the
Metropolitan Museum. And one of
the influences motivating scientists
into planning substances which will
discourage Pups from taking an
interest in household furnishings.
For you can start wandering at
upper Sixteenth street at this time
of the year, hop over to George
town, stroll down Connecticut ave-
nue. and wander by the letter S
method right on through Seventh
street and find furniture sales all
over the place. The incest pieces
the boss wouldn't buy if she had the
money, on account Of Pups. The
poorer ones she wouldn't have. Same
thing applies to rugs and carpets.
Repellent Powder
Is Helpful.
Only by shopping around long
enough it becomes evident that one
can have their period pieces and
keep the dog, too. For there's q
powder on the market which comes
in conical containers. You sprinkle
it around the places where Pups
must not come. And he doesn't!
It's practically odorless to the hu-
man nostril, but evidently not so
to the canine. Strange thing. And
while one wouldn't want their house
suggestive of an odd scent indefi-
nitely, it will start a custom. For
if Pups is kept off a chair long
enough, he'll form the habit of stay
ing of.
1t works on rugs, too. And by
dusting it across doorway Pups
can be kept out of a whole roomful
OF last winter sales plunder, at least
until the newness wears OF. Rubbers
and shoes profit by its repellent
odor. Maybe it would be good idea
to tie can of the powder outside on
the light pole so the postman can
dust himself with it before venturing
up the walk.
This particular powder isn't strcng
enough for complete outdoor use,
but some others are. And they aren't
all concocted by the same company,
either. But the liquids, which are
powerful, must be handled with a
great deal Of care. A little on the
skin. human or dog, acts like dash
Of strong acid.
So don't let Junior undertake the
job of sprinkling the spots where
the flower beds are to be. You might
as well give him bottle of nitric
acid and tell him to 60 ahead and
have q good time. Well, maybe it
isn't quite as bad as that but it's
along the same line. It's safer to

Fine Features
OF Foundation.
Speaking of problems, those con-
nected with foundation for make
up have been practically nil ever
since women discovered how easy
and effective some of the new bases
are . And we think we've found
another which should take its place
as one Of your favorite aids to good
grooming . It's a creamy base for
dry skin that will help your make
up to stay on well, protect your
complexion from harsh weather and
hide annoying little freckles and
other minor blemishes Some
women merely place a small dab on
forehead, on each cheek, on the
chin and under it, and then smooth
it in lightly and evenly so that it
becomes a thin film. Others, how
ever, find that it is best used by
dipping piece of cotton in cold
water and then applying the foun-
dation to that before smoothing it
on the face. We believe this will
be the best method If your skin
is not so dry and the base proves
a bit too oily, Try both tricks and
you'll soon discover which one
enables you to obtain the smoothest
and most natural appearance !. {.
The base comes in two sizes, and
lasts so long that you'll wonder how
the creators can possibly make q
profit on the small jar :. Well, all
right then. let the manufacturers
look out for themselves!

Being Under

Discourage Habit
OF Presenting
Costly Gifts
BY EMILY POST.

Dear Mrs. Post: How can gift CIV
ers be discouraged? Naturally, I do
not want to seem unappreciative of
kindness. or to hurt the feelings of
my pupils. but 1t has reached the
point where I'm embarrassed to teke
expensive gifts of three particular
children whose presents have been
increasing In number and value.
And to make matters worse, can
not afford to buy presents for these
children.
Answer: When one of them brings
you a present again you will have to
take it, Of course. But after you say
thank you and tell her how beautiful
it Is, you can then explain confiden-
TALLY that it is really too important
q present to bring you-and please
not to make the other children feel
they should do the same, and also
that it embarrasses you to be put un-
der obligations which you cannot re-
pay. So far as etiquette is concerned,
presents from teacher to children
are not to be thought of-ever.

own account whether or not she
would like to play. He might ex-
plain that he knows you would, of
course, like to have her but don't
want to ask this much Of q favor
Of her. If she tells her brother that

gin: John has Just told me the

to millionaire and has no depend
ents and no need for money except
to blow it in on French fnery. The
falseness of this contention is so OBJ
vious that it is needless to combat it,
but, anyway, it cuts no figure in a
woman's right to a job.
If employees are to be chosen solely
on the basis of their needs we
should substitute the buns and the
park loafers for our bankers and
big executives. No one would be
foolish enough to do that, yet the
cry Is continually made that wom-
ems poverty and not their ability
should determine their right to
follow gainful occupations.
The men who are so anxious to
put women out of business think
that life would be so much easier
and richer for them If they could
take women's pay envelopes away
from them, but in this they are sadly
mistaken. Because, after all, they
can't let their female relatives and
friends starve. If they take away
from Sally and Mamie the oppor-
tunity of earning their own bread
and butter they will have to split
their own loaves into enough slices
to 60 around among the girls, and it
will not leave them many crumbs
for themselves. In the good old days,
when there were no business girls,
fathers and brothers were slaves to
their daughters and sisters.
Also, in these days OF economic
stress, it is the working wife who
makes marriage possible for many a
young couple. The boy does not
make enough money to support two,
and they would eat their hearts out
In waiting II 1t was not that the
girl can add her salary to his so
they can marry and start their life
together honorably and with Sc
curity.
And last, but not least, giving
women the opportunity to achieve
financial independence has done
more than anything else to broaden
womens outlook, sweeten their dis
positions and eliminate the bile from
their systems. Suffering the humili-
alton Of dependence, bored to death
with idleness, they were filled with
malice and envy and took their re-
venge by meddling in every one else's
affairs and backbittng and clawing.
But when, In work, they found In
dependence, freedom and something
interesting to do and think about,
their whole characters were changed
as by a miracle, 80 that nowadays q
cat-woman has become 10 rare as to
be almost q museum spectacle.
And, all Of this being true, let
men think q long time before they
take women's Jobs away from them.

had agreed that this was to be done
thoroughly, and 1t was. The play
mate had no scruples and took the
best there was. Experience is fine
teacher here as it always must be.
But the pathological stealer is not
easily cured. The specialists have
to get to the root of the trouble,
and often 1t is deeply hidden N the
child's mental self, set there by
physical conditions that the child
and his guardians had no control
over, no knowledge Of whatever.
Don't tell the world about this
afflicted child. Don't tell him he
is a disgrace, a candidate for Jail
and the like. Tell him he is making
a very serious mistake that will
cost him his ufe's success and hap
piness. Assure him that you are
going to try to help him get over
his difficulty and try to enlist his
help for himself. Even the skilled
physician and psychiatrist can do
little until the patient wishes deeply
to be cured. Then he has a good
chance.

Dorothy Dix Says
A Woman's Self.Respect and
Happiness Depend on Work

If women have not all gone to
sleep at the switch they must per-
ceive that the effort now being
made to stop married women from
holding any job outside of their
own kitchens is but the first shove
at the door ~ shut all women out
from gainful occupations. The taboo
against the working wife will in
evitably spread to all women-with
husbands or without.
This will be q tragedy for society
as well as for the individual woman,
for no other one thing has done
more to promote decency of living,
self-respect and happiness than has
giving women economic independ-
ence. Those of us who fought to
gain this great boon for our sex
cannot see women deprived of 1t
without lifting our voices In warn
ing and protest.
The propaganda against married
women working hasn't a leg to stand
on. To begin with, 1t violates the
constitutional right of every indi-
vidual, regardless Of sex, to life,
liberty and the pursuit Of happiness,
and that certainly includes the
right to earn money by honest la
Dor. The use of ones talents and
abilities is surely not prerogative
monopolized by the masculine sex.
The whole theory, that because a
woman has husband she has no
need to work, is based upon the fal-.
lacy that every woman Is married.
