AS a matter of fact. it would be
rather fun to pick up some of these
items for ''twosome" on your
Christmas list. You'll get loads OF
other ideas when you go into the
shops. For instance, sometimes the
same manufacturer of perfume will
make products for men and women,
or you'll discover cigarette cases
fashioned in more or less the same
manner.
To further the idea. there are re-
versible top coats which are cut on
loose, casual lines and which are
nearly identical in fabric, color and
style. Luggage, too, may be match

Answer-I do not think that any
girl of IA should be permitted to
60 to parties or have boys come to
see her or step out with boys dur
ing the school week, for the
minute the girl gets boy-crazy and
has her mind on good times in
stead of her books her education
virtually ceases. Week ends you
may grant her more liberty and
let her go to subdeb affairs and
the movies with boys you know.
But she should be home by 1890 at
the latest. Growing children need
their sleep.
There is no question harder to
solve than how much liberty an
adolescent girl should have when
she first begins to emerge from
childhood She is so young, so
ignorant of the world, so helpless
to take care of herself, and she is
so threatened on every side with
dangers that she does not even
perceive And she is so avid for
life, for pleasure, for excitement.
So curious about the new world
she is entering; 50 thrilled over the
discovery that she has power to
attract the opposite sex; 50 certain
that she knows all the answers; SO
resentful of parental control and
so determined to live what she
calls her own life.
Who knows how light and strong
must be the rein with which the
modern girl must be driven to keep
her going a steady gait instead of
her either kicking over the traces
and boiling or else baking? In
considering this problem parents
must bear in mind two facts that
we oldsterS do not always remem-
ber. One is that we have speeded
up youth just as we have every
thing else and that a girl of IA is
really as old and sophisticated as
her mother was at 20. The other
day I heard a woman say: when
was Is was playing with dolls,
but at Is my daughter is playing
with life"
And another thing parents must
remember is that If they are too
strict with Mamie all that they ac-
complish is making her a liar and
taking away from her all the pro-
lection that a home offers a girl
When they lock the door on her
she climbs out of the window, and
If they forbid nice boys the house

Child Needs
Love and
Respect
This Stimulation
Good for Happy
Development
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Children are people and they do
have rights, although some people,
even some parents, seem not to
know it. For example, a child has
a right to be wanted and loved in
his home. Recently a mother said,
in the presence of her son, as fine
and as good a child as anybody would
meet in days march, Hes always
in my way. I can't do this, can't
do that, can't go here and can't
go there, all because of him. ANY,
body who wants him is welcome TO
him"
Of course, she did not mean it,
but she said it before other people,
said it in irritation and with loud
emphasis, and the boy was crushed.
That was a wrong done a good child
by his own mother. That is what I
mean by a violation of childs
rights. He is entitled to love, re-
spect and loyalty from his parents,
and too often, in thoughtlessness, he
is wronged.
Children feel the thoughts OF
those about them long before they
can express their understanding in
words. They feel the hidden anger
that sharpens the teachers voice,
edges their fathers words. They
feel the impatience that is smoth-
cred, but which escapes in the too
tightly shut mouth, the too quick
hands, the smoldering eyes. They
are afraid of angry, impatient, irri-
table people and their fear makes
them angry. rebellious and back
ward. A child is entitled to the re-
spect of those about him, and if
parents want to have intelligent,
useful children of whom they can
be proud, they would do well to
remember this.
A child has a right to all the
encouragement he needs for growth.
He cannot grow without that lift
of spirit that encouragement af-
fords. 1t is food for both body and
mind, essential food. The child
who is constantly corrected. scolded
and made to feel unfit soon is afraid
to make an effort and ceases to
develop. That kind of criticism Is
another violation of child's rights.
Many parents are deeply con-
cerned about child's health, his
diet, sleep and general physical care,
but pay not the slightest attention
to the far more important hygiene
of the child's mind. Children can
do well on the simplest fare. the
simplest kind of care that the poor
est homes-financiallv measured
can give him. provided his spiritual
needs are met in good measure.
The child who feels secure in the
love of his mother and father. who
knows he can depend on them al
ways, who feels wanted and loved
and respected by them. will out
grow and outdo the child who has
everything that money can buy but
none of the free-will offering that
love alone supplies.
Affection, gentleness. understand
ing are tonics to children's bodies
and minds.

Hollywood Star
Discusses Art
OF Makeup
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Hollywood casting experts who an
nually interview thousands of girl
screen aspirants from all parts of
the country say there is one thing
that betrays rural girl-her make
UP. She usually wears too much!
The basic principle of using
makeup to enhance ones beauty
is this-it must be an illusion. If
makeup is obvious it is not
beautiful!
One popular young screen beauty,
Lucille Ball, has lot to say about
makeup. TOO much make up
makes a girl look hard or simply
comical. I know this, because when
I had the role of variety queen
of burlesque my bangs were f1uffed
and my hair dressed fancy. Long,
artificial lashes heavily leadened
with mascara were added to my
own, and my mouth was widened
and darkened with brilliant lip col
or. To complete the picture they
exaggerated my brow arch. looked
like what was supposed to look like
and it wasn't lovely!
Later I acted a natural role, and
my hair was brushed into a lus-
trouS sleek coiffure, my brOWS were
left in natural curves, only my up
per lashes were darkened a bit at
the tips, and lipstick outlined my
lips lightly. I felt and looked like
myself"
If you youngsters would like to
know what screen actress uses on
her face for daytime makeup, when
she Is not acting before the camera,
listen to Lucille's testimony: MY
street makeup is very simple. I
begin with a powder base which is
light in texture of a color which
matches my current skin shade. I
apply it lightly with a fresh sponge.
Too much powder base gives your
face a pasty look, so I try to avoid
that. When my skin is nicely tanned
or when the weather is moist and
warm I omit the base altogether.
when this base has dried 1
apply a touch of dry rouge with a
ong-handled brush which is about
a half inch wide I like brushes for
makeup, because I think they create
q more natural effect.
But let me warn you about
rouge-use it ever so sparingly.
Rouge acts as a high light and a
shadow-that's why it takes expert
application. Apply it to the highest
point of the cheek and blend it to
no color at the edges. Never let it
touch laugh or sun lines at the cor
ners of the eyes or mouth, for rouge
accents wrinkles.
Il brush my lashes and brows
free of powder and leave them that
way, and I prefer a clear, bright
lipstick for daylight wear rather
than the deeper, dusky shades. I
confess, however, that I frequently
change the shape OF my lips with
lip color. Just a whim most women
indulge in.
For some evening occasions !
wear eyeshadoW, mascara and &C
cent my brows with pencil. I think
that too much makeup makes a girl
self-conscious and she cannot be
her natural, charming self. That, of
course, is mistake, If you apply
your makeup cleverly at home you
should be able to forget all about
your face while you are out.
You notice I didn't say any
thing about using powder. I don't
use it. I feel that the moist look
the powder base gives my skin is
prettier than a dull, powdered look.
There are times, too, when I do not
wear rouge in daylight hours"
Evening star., 1940-12-14

the same type of clothes. With
variations, of course!
Every now and then you hear OF
a husband and wife who have suits
of the same material-and it is a
rather fetching idea. AS we recall
it, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor
carried out some such theme few
seasons ago. Anyway, a glance at
current fashions shows that It's not
such 8 difficult accomplishment.
You can always have suits OF the
same material, whether they are
bought or made, and with the vogue
for covert cloth and mems wear
flannel so important in feminine
fashions and the trend to long,
mannish coats being heartily adopted
by the ladies, any resemblance is
purely intentional.
Then there are hats. Take these
snap-brim models with gay bands
which you will find in both stronger
and weaker sex versions. Or, look
at the little corduroy baseball caps
which the girls have found so tricky
Their origin is obvious.
There are scarfs designed for Mr.
and Mrs, and the ladies have taken
to billfolds and key cases with the
same fervor as the gentlemen. A
liking for simply tailored flannel
shirts has distinguished sportswear
in both fields, while an interest In
lapel watches and cigarette lighters
which also hook onto the lapel offers
suggestions for gifts to both boys
and girls.
