two children into her home.
Their behavior was incredible!
They were the most unreasonable

young colts suddenly released from

at all times by over-lenient parents

thoughtless young egotist who con-

Parents are here to give their chill
dren a sense of security in their
mothers and fathers. in their homes
and in themselves. OF course, par

Advice Asked
Situation
Other Man Wants
To End Lovers
Difficulty
Bv Emily Post

In the typical triangle story OF
two men and girl, when the
wrong" man tries to clear up the
misunderstanding between the right
man and the girl, this scene is not
ALWAYS as successful in real life as
1t seems to be in the final act OF
play. =.
In a real-life story, the wrong"
man has written me as follows:
"Unwittingly I have come between
the swellest girl in the world and
the man she cares for. The worst
of it is I don't know the man per-
sonally, but I'm told he thinks he
has been turned down all because
this girl accepted a few dates with
me. The truth is, she is terribly
unhappy. In fact, she has told me
straight that she encouraged me to
give her a rush because OF a till
she had with him. But instead OF
making him eager to cut me out he
has kept out of her way, and the
situation has suddenly taken a
serious turn because he is going to
training camp.
Il am told by others that he is
crazy about her, but she has made
him think that she cares for me.
Well, she doesn't! And the only
good that can come OF it is to let
him know the truth. But how?"
I think your impulse the right one,
and that it might be less embarras-
sing to write a blunt note than
to try to tell him face to face. or
even on the telephone. You might
simply say that since it is no good
to any one to let him go to camp
harboring false impression, you
want to make sure that he knows
that to Mary he is tops, and you
are not even in the running. And
then it's up to him!
Dear Mrs. Post: I am bordering
on 40, have never been married, and
for the past few years have been
keeping house for a widower and
his three sons. Since I've come, all
three sons have left home-one
joined the Army; the other two are
married. Now I am going to marry
the father and it is about this that
am writing. Should I leave here
and live with my relatives for a
while before our wedding takes
place? I mean, do you think it
might be questioned if I stayed on
here up to the end?
Answer think most people would
agree with the. propriety of your
leaving his house-as evidence OF
your appreciation Of the tact that
your status has changed.

When you are being introduced
to another person and the friend
who is making the introduction for
gets one or both Of your names. it
would be nice Of you to help her
out. Also, 1t would be easier on
you.
1t is very difficult to start to
shake hands with a person because
you think you are about to be in
troduced to him, and then to stand
there with your arm in mid-air wait
ing for the introduction which
either never comes out, or takes 10
minutes. You can't hold your hand
in suspension for 10 minutes And
it Is very foolish to act as though
you didn't expect to be introduced
after all and to turn to other sub
jects.
What you should do is to shake
hands firmly and as your forgetful
introducer says, oh, Miss ah-
m-ah.' supply your own name.
The other person will then usually
supply his name and you're both of
in a cloud of dust. Your intro
ducer heaves a sigh of relief and
every one is satisfied.
But don't punish her, or your
self. by waiting for her to remem-
ber that memory game she is trying
to learn. 1t will take too long.
If you want to make hit with
your dentist (or perhaps I should
say, rather, if you want to enlist
your dentists sympathies you
should carefully remove your lip
stick before you take your place in
the chair.
The sad truth that dentists pre-
fer women without lipstick was
made very clear to me. But very
clear. I sat myself down in my
dentists chair of torture, and he
looked very sourly at me, handed
me a paper towel and said bitterly,
Take off the war paint"
Now, I really don't think that
was very polite of him. I had fixed
myself up to look nice, figuring that
a dentist working on a freshly
made-up face might treat it more
gently than face worn with days
work, And what reward did 1 get?
But I went into the matter with
him, and it seems that he had too
much lipstick that day. and was
tired OF messing around In 1t.
So hereafter I shall 60 to the
dentist looking my palest. Per-
haps I can play the frail suffering
woman. and he'll respond more

If YOU would help child. like
him. Like him as he is before you
start reforming or training him to
the standard you have set. If you
don't like him and feel that you
can't. Just get out of his way. 1t Is
as impossible for a teacher or leader
to help a child he does not like as
for the camel to go through the eye

You will not like the things some
children do. They do wrong things.
They make mistakes. They have
traits that are unlovely and ways
that are mean. You expect that,
because this is a human child and
those are the bad traits we all have
You dislike the bad traits, but you
like the child.
You can separate his wrong doings
from the child himself. If you can't
do that, if you must identify the
child with his wrongness, just get

who can like him help him.
Children are quick to feel liking

You cannot hide it. 1t seeps through
the tones Of your voice. through the

Youngsters Who Are Disliked
Don't Benefit by Discipline

fault because you fear he may dis
like you for blaming him. He won't.
As long as he knows you are his
friend he will take the criticism
when he deserves 1t and like you
all the better.
1t is a mistake to praise child
when he does not deserve it. He
sees that he is going to be ap-
proved, going to get by, right or
wrong and consequently will do
what makes him most comfortable.
You can't blame him for that He
is intelligent. Teach him that he
is going to be praised and approved
for what he does well and that he is
going to be criticized and punished
for what deserves criticism and pun
ishment Being intelligent he will
accept that too. and behave accord
ingly But only if you like him.
Liking him does not mean that
you spoil him. Real liking will cause
you to help him overcome his faults,
strengthen his weaknesses and form
his character. Because he knows
you like him he accepts advice, train
ing and discipline from you and
profits by it.
The child who is disliked does not
benefit by discipline or training that
comes from the one who dislikes
him. He resents that person and
all he does. The fact that 1t is he
who speaks or acts Is enough for the
child's prejudice to rise and force
him into action. and that action IS

Of all the tropical fruits, the

banana. We eat them the year round
and the year round they come TO US
mostly from Mexico, Central Amer

From our good -neighbor countries
we also import varying quantities of
