Sense Is
Needed
Consideration for
Others Treasures
Must Be Taught
BY DOROTHY DIX.

Dear Dorothy Dix-About six
months ago a young woman with
two small children moved into our
neighborhood. She is very charming
and my husband and I have seen
a great deal of her, but now trouble
has come between us on account Of
her children. have beautiful fur
nlture and try to keep it as nice as
possible, but when these youngsters
come over they simply wreck every
thing in the house. I have asked
their mother to restrain them, but
she thinks am crank about such
matters because I have no children
OF my own. When told her that
l don't want her to bring the chill
dren over any more she quit speak
ing to us. This hurts me terribly
and it must hurt her too, as she
has no other friends. Other people
have dropped her for the same rea-
son that 1 have. HEART-SICK.
AnSWer-Many of us have had to
choose between cherished friend
and her hoodlum children and our
household goods. And it is no re-
Election on our taste and judgment
that most of us choose our furniture
and let the friends go. Because any
woman who in a civilized country
brings up her children to be savages,
without any regard for the rights
and property of others, is lacking
in all sense of justice, in all con-
sideration for the feelings and COM
fort of others, of every quality that
goes to the making of a lasting
friendship.
No matter how delightful and
charming a woman may be indi-
vldually, if she let's her children
play circus with the chairs whose
needlepoint covers you spent years
in making; if she lets them smash
your china and glass and draw pic
lures with pin on your mahogany
tables, you naturally are not willing
for her to bring her brigands into
your house. You can't afford it.
Yet mothers seem to think that
you won't mind having your place
wrecked if their little Johnny and
Sally did it. 1t is nothing but lazi-
ness that makes mothers let their
children grow up without being
trained to respect furniture and to
handle delicate objects with care.
And, little as mothers suspect it,
they are judged by their children's
manners-which is something for
mothers to bear in mind.

Soob.
You're always too tired to take her
somewhere in the evening. Pry
yourself loose from that overstuffed
chair once in while. Remember,
he who vegetables is lost!
You compare her cooking with
your mothers or that dispensed by
the Busy Bee Restaurant. Even if
she can't do anything more COM
plicated than boiling an egg, at
least tell her that she boils the best
eggs you ever ate
You bury your head in the paper
at meals and during the evening,
letting her sit in solitary communion
with the cat or the radio.
You imply that she can't be
trusted with more than 60 cents at
one time and dole out your money
like king dispensing favors.
If she continues to work, you
complacently let her carry the
double load of money earning and
homemaking, and accept it as a
matter Of course.
You either continually carry
home all your Office troubles, or else
never discuss your job at all, i'm
plying that she's too stupid to un-
derstand.
You discuss the other girl you
used to date with little too much
enthusiasm.
ALL the dirty jobs are left to
her-arguing with the landlord,
stalling the installment collector,
and finding an inexpensive gift for
your impossible uncle's birthday. o.

use OF this very helpful beauty aid.
Keeping bottle in the icebox works
like a charm, for it emerges cool and
icy and feels unbelievably invigorat-
ing when applied. Any number of
business girls keep bottle in their
desks, and VOW that it does more
good than their afternoon soft drink
And as for travelling, try rubbing off
with some soothing fragrance after
you've journeyed weary miles and
you'll spring back to life like
streamlined jack-in- -the-box.
Among our latest discoveries is
a package that should suit your
needs along this line efficiently and,
we might add, inexpensively. The
set holds a slim 2-ounce flacon OF
eau de cologne and box of dusting
powder in the same fragrance. It's
small enough for you to carry along
with you on trips, keep in your desk
drawer or stow away in the COM
partment of the car. What's more,
it will make an ideal gift for your
hostess, provided she hasn't already
bought up a stock and equipped
each of her guest rooms with it.
You'll find this in two fragrances-
one rich, spicy aroma; the other
sweet fashioned variety. And
since you know your own preference,
the rest is up to you Don't forget,
however, that bit of cologne dab
bed on temples, wrists. arms and
throat will chase the temperature
lower than your Monday morning
disposition. -.
Thrust under our nose at the
same time that we unearthed the
cologne and powder set was an
other item that seems particularly
helpful. It's new liquid brillian-
tine created to add sheen to your
hair as we'll as to preserve that
particularly snappy coiffure. Avail
able in two shades-blue for light
or gray hair and rosy orange to
make dark tresses glisten-it is per-
fumed with one of our pet aromas
and manages to do away with that
brittle dryness without making your
hair sticky.
Convenient, too, is the manner in
which the product is packaged. 1t
uses an atomizer device that you
can work with one hand while the
other is busily engaged in getting
that pesky curl just right. Simply
spray the brilliantine on your hair
and be amazed at the efficiency and
economy features that this method
Of application can produce. Need
less to say, you can buy refills of
brilliantine at any time, so you need
buy the atomizer contraption only
once.
So many women have asked us
about a masque that is safe, effici-
ent and economical that we've done
a little poking around on the subject.
What we've uncovered is the prod
uct OF one of our well-known
beauty firms and the joy of it is
that 1t comes in a new smaller size
that you'll be able to afford even
after you come back from your
vacation. For a new face" this
summer, cleanse your skin thor
oughly and apply this masque to the
face and throat. It's rich and
creamy and will make your skin
tingle and seem to glow with a new
f1rmness. Takes about 20 minutes
to dry completely, during which
time it does its beautifying work.
When it is washed off, your skin
will feel cool, refreshed and as
smooth as velvet. Personally, we
recommend 1t before starting out
for that very important evening.
You can apply it while you're doing
your nails or taking a tub and If
you've been finding your skin rather
slugg1sh and full Of blackheads,

this should do the trick nicely, with
practically no effort.
Most important. remember that
in the winter you hear a great deal
about the effect of overheated
rooms and raw, biting winds on your
complexion, but in the summer the
results can be just as bad, though
the causes are different. Hot sum-
mer sun, caked makeup and long
automobile rides with the wind
whipping your face to a nice leath-
cry surface is not a pleasant pros
pect, so don't slack up on your
quest for beauty-even though you
take a vacation from other duties.

Today We'll give you several of
those really old-thne recipes that we
mentioned last week. These have
been cleaned from century-old cook
books. with the exception of the one
for stuffed peaches" which we
found in an old recipe file that my
aunt had inherited from my grand
mother. If you have tender men,
ories of the contents of the jam
closets of your childhood, perhaps
some of these will bring to life once
more some of the goodies of those
bygone days.

time into the boiling liquid. Cook
until they are tender. Remove, pack
in hot sterilized jars, fill jars to
overfowing with the hot sirup and
seal at once.
STUFFED PEACHES.
Wipe freestone peaches with a
coarse towel to remove as much as
possible of the fuzz. Halve them

Soften Piano Tones

Where greater volume is desired
from a piano, there should be no
carpet under the instrument. This
is especially true of a grand, which
gives off sound from the underside
of its case. Conversely, in a small
room a carpet under the piano will
soften its tone and keep it from
being too loud.

Early Planting Gets
Better Oat Yields

Farmers who plant oats in the fall
usually try to do so in late September
or October. According to the Delta Ex-
pertinent Station, October Is is the best
time to plant oats, nevertheless, plant
ings as late as November Is produced
fair yields.
The production on this experiment
shows a yield of oats as follows:
Planting Date Yield Per Acre
October Is -.-----..--------.-.---.--- bus.
November bus.
November Is -------.----..--55.5 bus.
Farmers who have not been able to
get their oat crop planted should make
an effort to do so not later than No.
vember Is. Paintings made later than
this date did not produce satisfactory
yields. The planting dates for winter
legumes will correspond very favorably
with the planting dates for oats, ac-
cording to experiments at the Delta Ex-
pertinent Station. All winter legume
crops should be planted by or before
November Is. Crops planted later than
November 10 will not produce, as rule,
a sufficient growth by April ! to enable
the producer to piow under profitable
amount of green matter Another hazard
that late planted winter legumes may
run into is freezing weather which will
sometime freeze them out of the ground
before a good root system is developed
