If Mistress Mary contrarily con-
tinues to suck her thumb it is quite
possible that she may grow up to
become Spinster Mary patiently 60
ing to the dentist to have her
crooked teeth straightened-acco
ing to a recent warning of the
American Dental Association.
Reviewing dental case histories.
one cannot fail to be impressed
with the definite emotional unbal-
ance revealed by many women who
are dental cripples." The crooked
teeth and protruding lips resulting.
at least in part, from prolonged
thumb-sucking during childhood
are sufficient basis for dependency.
Too many mothers still believe
in the old wives tale that first
teeth aren't important, the survey
continues. They fail to realize that
as first teeth grow, so do the per-
manent teeth. Actually every moth
er who is interested in her child S
welfare should know that first teeth
Cor foundation teeth are pathfind-
ers. They are pearly little scouts
that go ahead to clear and shape
the way for the permanent teeth.
OF course, there are many causes
for crooked teeth. Some are in
herited, others result from the loss
of key teeth in the dental arch.
But a great percentage of mouths
with crooked teeth are due to such
childhood habits as lip biting, lip
sucking and the propping of a
young face on the hand or fist while
reading, sleeping or simply resting
Mouth breathing, too, is believed
to be directly responsible for many
cases of crooked teeth and unlovely
facial expressions. All such habits
should be nipped in the bud by
-watchful mothers.
Surveys made in many parts OF
the country indicate that from 50
to 10 per cent of grade school chill
dren have irregular or crooked
teeth. This means that nearly two
thirds of these children have de-
formed jaws-for irregular teeth
usually are symptoms of jaw de-
formity. The majority of these NAL
formations may be of minor char.
acter, but the wise mother will dc
all in her power to prevent, or helr
correct, such conditions. Often only
one trip to a dentist, trained in
orthodontia work, will be SUFFICIENT
| to discover the habit which is re.
sponsible for the. condition. If the
habit is corrected at once, nature
usually returns to her original plar
of giving your child straight teeth
and balanced mouth and jaw.
Permanent malformation of thu
teeth, mouth and jaw results only
when you fail to correct pressure

posite, too timid one.
Because one famous dress design
er felt that there was no makeup
which really went with her clothes,
she did the most logical and help
full thing possible; she created her
own line Of cosmetics. This new
and extremely interesting collection
of beauty aids is something to rave
about, for it is packaged in simple,
streamlined jars and bottles which
are just the type that modern wom-
en- like to see gracing their dress
ing tables. More than that, of
course, the items are really excel
lent in quality and not too expen-
sively priced.
One store here has arranged q
little makeup room where you get
a free lesson in the art of applying
cosmetics before you buy. They
iceland this. we think, is a won-
derfully sensible idea-that you
don't buy clothes without trying
them. so why should you take q
chance on the color and texture of
your beauty aids merely by looking
at them? Consequently, they're
happy to present you with a treat

Dorothy Dix Says >>>
Modern Wife's Life More Difficult
Now Than in Grandmother's Day

Every now and then I meet up
with a man who discourses long
and bitterly about the trif1ingness
of the modern woman. "The matter
with women" he declares, lis that
they haven't enough to do, and that
is why they are restless and cis-
satisfied. They have too much idle
time on their hands and that is why
they get into mischief. What's
housework nowadays, with all these
new-fangled electrical devices for
doing work? Nothing but chiid's
play. No, If women had to pack in
their own coal or wood for the stove,
draw their own water, bend over a
washtub and scrub out the clothes
with their own hands, as our grand
mothers did, and if they had to
make all of their husbands and
children's clothes, they would be a
lot healthier and happier, and SO
would the remainder of the world.
Women have it too easy nowadays
that's what is the matter with
them"
Whereat I wondered: Has the
modern woman more cakes and ale
than the Victorian lady had? Is
life easier for women today than it
was in their grandmothers' time?
Life is pleasanter for them. They
have more fun, more interests, more
excitement, but don't they have
heavier burdens to bear, more re-
sponsibility, more things to worry
over than the women of the past
had?
In great-grandmama's time no
woman worked outside of her own
home. When a man married he
brought home the bacon and
thought his wife did her part by
frying it. No matter how many
daughters a man had, he expected
to support them until they acquired
meal tickets by marrying them. But
nowadays the daughters in a fam
ily are expected to get jobs as soon
as they get out of school, and often
father knocks of work and lets the
girls take care of him. Nor does
the modern girl cease from labor
when she marries. Mostly she only
adds on cooking and sweeping and
dishwashing and housecleaning to
the typing or clerking or bookkeep-
ing she was already doing.
Of course, marriage has always
taken a bit of doing, as the English
say, in every age. but it is far more
difficult proposition for the women
of today than it was for the women
of yesterday. Husbands are harder
to get, harder to keep and harder
to please. Parents no longer ar
range marriages for their daughters
They throw the poor souls on Their
own, and If q girl wants husband
she has to go out and get him her
self.
Nor did grandma have to worry
about holding grandpa, for when q
man married in those days he mar
ried for keeps and he never dreamed
of chucking out a perfectly good
wife because she had got fat and
lost her oomph. Nor did grandpa
expect grandma to be a combined
cook and a child-rearer and 9
penny -pincher and siren and q
press agent, fashion model and ar
entertainer who would always keeI
him interested and amused.
Nor were children such problem
in grandma's time as they are now
Grandma took them in her stride
20 to speak. She loved them anc
fed them and washed them ane

them their prayers and trusted the
remainder to the Lord. She had
never heard of vitamins, nor child
psychology, nor the danger of de-
veloping an inferiority complex in
a little brat by making him behave.
And If they sickened and died,
she never dreamed that she had
any responsibility in the matter.
She laid that on Providence. Thus
she escaped the fears that hag-ride
the modern mother and that take
most of the joy out of her mother
hood, and that makes the raising
of one small measly infant more
trouble and more anxiety than
bringing up a dozen lusty kids used
to be. And in spite of all the new
tangled gadgets that have turned
the kitchen into a laboratory in
stead Of a place to concoct tooth
some dishes, cooking is harder on
the modern woman than it was on
her grandmother, because she has
been taught to believe that every
thing that tastes good is bad for
our stomachs. Lucky grandma
didn't know about balanced ra-
tions. She had never heard of H.
and O., and so she just went along
and laid a heavy hand on the sea-
soning. and if people didn't live as
long then as they do now, they had
a better time while they were doing
it. She didn't have to acquire gray
hairs and crows feet counting her
calories and trying to balance her
proteins and carbohydrates.
These things being true, we can
only say that the men who think
that the modern woman has moth
ing to do do not speak from ex-
perience. They have never. been
