Tip For Women: Little Johnny
Has More Pride Than Susie
BY RUTH MILLETT

Little boys worry more tn a n
little girls about their clothes,
manners, and whether or not they
have pretty homes"
That information came out in a
test given to fifth and sixth grad
r in New York City to deter
mine what children worry about.
Boy Is Father
To The Man
1t is not only a fact that mothers
should keep in mind - but one
for all women to remember. For
the little boy whose personal pride
is so strong that he worries about
his clothes, manners, and the way
his house looks, grows up into the
man who is still sensitive to all
those things.
Because men like to pretend
that such superficial things don't
matter to them, women are often
fooled into BELIEVING that they
don't.
But a little thought and atten.
ton will convince any woman
that a man is more a slave tc
public opinion than she is.
Mems eyes follow the girl
whose taste in clothes and whose
"entrances" turn all eyes. B u
they don't marry the type. They
marry girls they feel they can
count on never to embarrass
them.
Men grumble about their wives
extravaganza, all the while letting
it be known that their wives de-
mand and get all the Injuries. If
they honestly didn't like their
wives making a showing of expen-
sive clothes and possessions, they
wouldn't foot the bills.
Men Are Conscious
Of Their Looks
Men are slaves to etiquette
and worry much longer a n d
apologize much more for a social
blunder than do women.
Men are so conscious of their
looks that there is the dickens to
pay if their clothes aren't kept in
perfect condition. And they a r e
jealous of a handsome man as
women are Of a beautiful woman.
Perhaps more. There are women
who like Dorothy Lamour. B t
try to find a man who has a good
word for the glamor boys of the
screen.
For all those reasons it is a big
mistake for a woman not to exert

such flavors as apricot, cranberry,
grapefruit, grape, cherry. pine -
apple, prune, raspberry, tomato,
lemon, and orange. This variety
should suggest interesting com
binations achieved by experir . Mt
ing a little.
For a summer variation try to-
mato juice with a bit Of cucu1n-

looking as fresh as if he had re-
tired at an early hour and had a
sound nights sleep.
His secretary handed him an
envelope which when he opened it
contained an invitation from Mrs.
Leah Seldes TO a cocktail party
that afternoon. In one corner was
written, "R.S.VP.'
Suddenly remembering tina I
Madge had suggested Mrs. Seldes
might have been the person sup
plying funds to Bryce for his in
vestigation, he phoned her house
and told secretary he'd be there
for the party.
Waring had just plunged into a
mass of papers piled on his desk
when he was called into his chiefs
office.
He supposed it was in connec-
ton with Bryce's death, and was
caught completely off guard when
Beatty, with out prelminaries
asked him why Madge Kendall
had come to his apartment.
As Wsring hesitated, Beatty
went on:
I'm not In the habit Of interior
ing in the romantic interests OF
anyone who works for me, but
am interested in the reason Miss
Kendall saw fit to call on you at a
very unconventional hour, War
ing"
Waring flushed angrily. but
choked back the hot words that
came to his lips. The thought
flashed through his mind that per-
haps Beatty was trying to make
him flare up and blurt out some
thing he might be sorry for later
II don't know why she should
come at that hour, Mr.. Beatty" he
said, respectfully. 1T could have
waited until today. But you know
how women sre-especially young
ones. An impulse hits them, and
they act upon it"

You still haven't answered my
question" Beatty drummed on his
desk with his fingers. a typical
gesture when he was annoyed.
What she came to tell me, was
that the Clover-Leaf ring she

from her" Waring said. Why she
thought II was so important that
she should come TO my place in

know. You know told you ]

when learned she had it, but she

Wsring hoped his explanation
sounded convincing. II Beatty
suspected that there was anything
more than a casual friendship be-

prove fatal to his plans. He de-
cided on a sudden counter-sttack.
Might l ask. sir. how it hap
pens that you know Miss Kendall
called at my place" he asked.
II he expected his boss TO be en-
bsrrassed by his question. he was
disappointed. Aside from a re-

An Exception to the Rule
Dear Mrs. Post: One of the men
in our office, a superior of mine.
left our company recently to take
a position in another city. When
he came TO my desk to say good
bye, there was the awkward mo-
ment of not knowing what to do
about shaking hands. l thought he
should have offered his hand. He
didn't. Will you tell me if this
was an error on my part? Ordi-
narily l know that a woman ex-
tends her hand to a man but as
this man was my business superior
I hesitated to go by the social
rules.
Answer: You were quite right
even though he may have expected
you to offer your hand. 1t is bet
ter in a case like this to be over
reserved than assuming.
