Obligations

To Youth
Four.Purpose Plan
For Improving
ParenthOOd
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

This week is to be observed
throughout the country as Better
Parenthood Week. The movement
is to remind parents of their respon-
sibility for the health, training and
beauty of their offspring, and to
remind other clear thinking adults
of their responsibility for the we'll
being Of all American children.
Such national endeavor deserves
our attention and cooperation, for
we want all American youth to grow
up strong, capable and attractive.
To accomplish this We must give
children intelligent training and
care. Music, hobbies, interesting
conversation, love of sports, pride
in good grooming, healthful habits,
ability to share and make friends,
enjoyment of discriminating enter
tainment-all these values Of the
happy adult are begun in childhood.
The better parenthood movement
has four-purpose plan:
l. To make mothers and fathers
more fully aware of the Importance
of using the best possible methods
in the care and training of their
children. and to acquaint them with
many sources of help and informa-
ton available to them in handling
their family problems.
2. To encourage the formation of
groups for the study and discussion
Of child rearing problems.
3. To promote more cooperative
understanding between parents and
teachers and between the school and
community at large.
4. To lend active support to all
community efforts for better schools,
child health, recreational facilities,
vocational guidance and the preven-
ton of delinquency.
If you are mother you want to
train your child to adopt healthful
program, to learn the benefits of
careful grooming, to acquire an en-
gaging. friendly personality, to be
self-sufncient, to appreciate what
you and others have done for him
or her. There is no better way to
acquaint yourself with the advan-
tages offered for your training as an
effective parent than to show in
terest in community endeavors Of
your offspring.

slowly. Practice this as many times
as you can at first and you'll find
that you can do it longer after a
while. For chest developing, sit
on the floor and hold the nice, fat

keeping your palms on the book and
your elbows high. Swing book over
the head and back and return.
Finally, to streamline those hips,
stay in that same floor sitting
posture with your knees straight
and walk" the entire length of
the room-still sitting down, if you
get what we mean. Then reverse
the procedure and walk back
ward.
All these things were part of the
instructions given to these typically
tall girls in the beauty salon, and
every one can be taken to heart by
the ladies who don't lack inches,
Incidentally, the salon mentioned
here is one of the most complete
in New York and if you ever have
a free day to spend there, you IL
find yourself redone from tip to
toe-with healthful luncheon
thrown in. But even if you can't
visit there, you can take the hints
mentioned today, and vow to make
your height one of the great assets
of your life.

Good to Have
Unaffected
Manners
Varying Situations
Will Not Change
Attitude
BY EMILY POST.

10 say That manners in COMPANY,
in business, in politics or at home
are different kinds of manners is
nonsense. Whatever manners are
genuinely ours, are ours always,
everywhere. If they are good, they
are good, and If they are bad. they
are bad. If they are good some
times and bad at other times, then
they are glued together manners
which, hike glued together pieces of
a broken cup, can't be counted on
not to fall apart when you drink
out of it,
This mistaken idea Of pleasing
manners is very much like the mis-
taken idea Of charm as something
that can be turned on as one turns
an electric switch! True, it may
be better to think, Here comes Mr..
Tops. Now I'll smile and show en-
thuSiasm" than not to notice Mr..
Tops at all. But it is doubtful If the
smile that enchants or the enthu-
siasm that carries a point is ever
acquired that way! The only smile
that Mr.. Tops is likely TO continue
to want TO return is one that Mary
Merryheart has sent to him with.
out knowing she has done SO!
Dear Mrs. Post: Is an aunt con-
sidered immediate family. and if not,
may she give her niece q shower
party?
Answer-An aunt Is not rated
immediate family unless she lives
under the same roof. But. in this
case, 1t would be just as unsuitable
for this aunt TO give the bride-to-b'
a shower as it would be for he"
mother to ask people to come ard
bring presents to her daughter. A
shower, remember. is a present-giy
ing party and nothing else. We can
all ask, Will you join me in giving
a present to our friend Mary?" but
not Ito my family!
Dear Mrs Post: When my fance
meets me somewhere and I happen
to be with other people, shouldn't
he greet me first and then the
others?
Answer-It would depend how
people were standing. To shove past
others in order to reach you first
would be rude to them and at the
same time show you no more devo-
ton than the equally natural i'm
pulse to save the best for last. In
short. to get through speaking 10
the others so as to then give perma-
nent attention to you.
Dear Mrs. Post: A friend Is being
married for the third time. One
previous marriage ended in divorce,
another in the death of her husband.
Can friends be expected to send
wedding presents for the third time?
Answer-Most certainly not!

Item two: The dogs name can't
be taken from any living person,
nor does the A. K. c. like name
sakeS of historical or fictional
characters. For instance. you can
name your Welsh TERROR Robert
Stevenson" because he is historical
Any we'll known person of yester-
year is historical.
If a city or town is used. even
somewhat disguised. you run up
against the very definite possibility
of finding that some kennel has that
name registered as kennel prefix
so its out, too. For instance, there s
town in New England named
Burlington. Down in Pennsylvania
is kennel with name that comes
as close to Burlington" as the
A. K. c. law allows. Or, take the
name Birmingham and try to offer
Birmingham Bob" Some kennel
already has come as close as is
possible or practical to registering
the name birmingham" as kennel
prefix, so that's discarded. And there
are too many "Bobs' applying as it.
Try again.
Remember. either you must attach
the kennel prefix where the pup was
bred. or else you aren't allowed to
do so at all. Better find out how
the matter stands.
Outside of the above factors, you
can name your registered dog any
thing you please. And if you ccan
do any better than those you see
listed at dog shows, go right ahead.

For the Culinary

old favorite, Cooking for Two" by
Janet Mckenzie Hill. Published by
Little, Brown & Co. OF Boston, it
has been revised most successfully
by Marjorie Mills and Sally Larkin,
and it is interesting to note the
wide expansion seen in the volume
since its first small edition published
80 years ago
Cooking for Two" should be espe-
cially popular in Washington, where
so many business girls room to-

the family possibly at work all day.
The book contains, in addition to
many fine recipes, practical sug-
gestions for planning and market

lists Of staple supplies, and good,

helpful.

Of their height: turning it into an
asset instead of a handicap.
Every time this department sticks
out its neck with the remark that
tall girls have all the advantages,
it is Immediately pounced upon
(the neck by ladies who take an
opposite point of view. But that's
our story and We'll stick to it. For
example, the other night in local
restaurant all eyes turned to a girl
who couldn't possibly be less than
feet tall. She is in the theatrical
field and, consequently. knows all
the tricks of dress, carriage and an
air of quiet elf-assurance. Believe
us when we say that the admlrlng
comments from men and women
alike did more to bolster up our
feeling of rightneSs in our convlc-
tions than anything else could have
done.
But to get back to this New York
showing. The beauty authority
vino sponsored it feels that although
more than 25 per cent of American
women are in this "skyscraper'
category, nothing has been done
for the girls who stand 5 feet 6 or
over. They have been neglected
and consequently are unaware how
to glorify their height and carry
it proudly.
IN many tall women" she ex-
planned, THE face seems small IN
proportion to the rest of the body.
The features. therefore. must be
emphasized with the proper make
up. Indifferent pastels fade out
completely on the statuesque wo-
man. She should dramatic her
self with vibrant, dashing colors. "
Continuing this education, she
pointed out that the smartest tall
girl avoids looking or acting coy
She shuns the rosebud mouth
and adopts one well shaped, proud
and generous. She dresses her hair
simply with a minimum OF ringlets
and curls in order to make the
whole effect simple, with a sculp-
tured perfection.
Perhaps the most common flaw in
the tall girls appearance is her
tendency to stoop and assume q
"horsey" walk that comes from
self consciousness. The exercise
expert in this salon begs tall girls
to be proud of their height, keeping
feet parallel. shoulders relaxed In
normal position, abdomen fiat
chest lifted and spine a straight
column supporting the head. They
should look as though being tall
were the incest thing in the world"
she says. When you don't know
what to do with your hands, the
best idea is to hold one gracefully
in the other and you will look sur
prisingly relaxed. At all times move
the hands in arcs; not in angles.
Four exercises suggested at tins
showing may be very helpful to the
average tall girl with the average
figure faults. To attain a graceful
rhythmic carriage, for instance
simply walk in slow motion, rising
up on the toes of each foot as you
do. Easy, but effective. Then. to
learn sitting and standing move

estate line is on file and so are

Everything of value is listed some
where. And a pure bred dog is
definitely of value. If there's any
doubt, visit a good kennel and try
to buy one. In fact. any dog in his
right mind is of value, but only the
pure bred article can be protected
