Small Girls
Mothers Interest

The Youngster
By Leffice Lee Street,

Very prim and proper. two little
girls emerged from Sunday school
and were met by their mothers.
AS the foursome strolled home on
this sunny Sabbath morning. ]
watched them with interest. The
two children. both about 10 years
old, were healthy looking girls. One
of them gave the immediate impress
sion of fresh prettiness, while the
other seemed somehow sadly untidy
and forlorn.
| When 1 carefully observed the
two I noticed that the untidy child
had truly exquisite face while the
other one did not. then realized
that the mother of the attractively
dressed child was doing her best to
improve her daughters looks while
the other mother was not.
OF course. it goes without saying
that the fundamentals of Beauty
are good health and posture, but
now I am only talking about the
grooming and care that are par
ticularly needed by little girls to
make them as appealingly lovely as
they should be-
/ Cleanliness is, of course, the first
rule of beauty. Therefore. a little
/ girl should never be allowed to skip
lightly over her forehead, up high
where the hair grows, or the back
OF her neck. when she takes her
bath. Her fingernails should be in
spected not once. but at least twice,
daily, and she should not be allowed
to g. to school with them dirty.
I Her toenails should be watched
too. and kept cut short straight
across. and she should learn that
she must keep her pretty little feet
as clean as her hands. Twice a day
she should brush her hair hard and
twice month it should be sham
pooed with pure CASTLE soap and
then well rinsed. If all this is done
she Will find that feminine dainti-
ness has become a habit with her,
and not chore.

quaint and becoming.
Do you ever think of the colors
that suit her best? For a limited
wardrobe try to select a key color:
the most becoming one. II you own
small blond beauty, blue will prob
ably be your best choice. Do not
then, buy her any article of clothing
that does not look we'll with blue.
II you follow this rule you will never
flnd her dressed for school in a pink
dress and an orange sweater. But
pink dress and blue sweater are
very sweet together The same is
true of your bonny brunette; she
probably looks best in red or yellow
while for a gay carrot-top you might
select the basic colors of brown or
green.
If you show interest and pride in
your little girls looks she is almost
certain to respond. I do not mean
by this to make her self-conscious
about 1t. But certain amount of
vanity should be encouraged in all
women; 1t keeps them striving to
look their best.

By Kay Caid,DeH and
Alden Harrison

Dear Kay Caldwell and Alden
Harrison: I have been going with a
boy who Is nice in every way and
who is obviously serious about me.
He has no fault whatsoever that I
can hold against him except one
thing-his dress.
Although he has a good job and
does not seem to deny himself in
other ways which might show a
''love of money" he is sloppy about
his clothes and grooming. l just
can't tolerate frayed cuffs and dusty
hats, and though I know he will
take a hint I can't bring myself to
mention the subject.
I like him too we'll to see him
dress in such manner. Please
help me. MI.
We doubt that this boys penchant
for frayed cuffs and dusty hats is a
sign of tightness. It's probably
sheer carelessness, the don't-give-a-
hoot attitude toward personal ap-
pearance that is found in all too
many misguided males.
The most tactful way for you to
handle the situation would be to
show the boy how highly you ap-
prove of young men who are neatly
dressed. Find occasion to mention
some well-groomed boy known to
both of you. making some such
comment as He always looks so
nice. so we'll turned out" Express
disapproval of other people-casual
passers-by, acquaintances. movie
stars-who are sloppy in their dress.
You could show your interest in
good grooming by stopping to look
in the window of a mems clothing
store while you are passing it with
him. If you will repeat these treat
ments occasionally. with other SIM
liar lodges which will occur to you
We feel sure you'll get the idea
across. And the boy can't possibly
take offense if you're not too OBJ
vious about your limiting and if
you don't overdo it.
Dear Kay and Alden: Is girl
ever justified in slapping boy?
If a boy kisses you and you don't
think he has any right to, what
should you do or say?
! MARJORIE.

welfare comes before anything else,

Sometimes this is impossible, and
the fathers and mothers antagon-

and they get married, only to find
out that they have absolutely MOTH
Ing in common.
They have different ideals. diff

tions. They like different types of
people. What interests one, bores
the other. What one likes to do, the
other loathes. Neither can endure
the others friends.
Often it is case of development
After marriage one outgrows the
other. One goes on unfolding. one
goes on learning, experiencing, get

just where he or she was when they
were married, until they are as un-
equally yoked together as a child
and a giant would be.
No marriages are more unhappy
than those in which good men and
women set themselves to endure
with heroic fortitude 80 or 40 years
of uncongenial companionship,
while they torture themselves with
vain imaginings about the happi-
ness that might be theirs if only
they were married to some one
whose temperament was similar to
their own.

Careful designing has given this
frock several attractive individual
details such as the petal sleeves
which may be braid bound or ruff
fed, the slimming princess lines
from shoulder to hem, cleverly
placed side sashes which make the
waistline adjustable. The heart
shaped neckline may be cut as low
rs you like, in front. No. 1401-B is
fun to make and JOY to wear. The
straight panel front gives height and
slimness to the figure, and the sash
belt allows you to show of your
vaistline to best advantage.
Here is another style which is
intended for the glorious cottons
which are being made today. Dainty
howered lawns or dimity, quaint
calico prints or percale. solid color
or striped broadcloth, seersucker or
cheerful checked ginghams would be
effective in this design. Choose

trim; or, outline the neck and sleeves

Smart Dining Room
Combines Old and
New Furniture

A charming dining room in which
traditional 18th century mahogany
furniture was combined with mod
ern upholstered pieces had striking
color scheme in citron yellow and
emerald green, with white accents.
The floor was painted green and
there was a white textured rug A
green dado on the lower section of
the walls was surmoulted by a wall
paper border of gray and green in
lace-and-leaf design. Above it
was two-toned gray paper in panel
effect and at the top of the room
was the same border as above the
dado, but combined here with a
white rope design narrow border
The emerald green was effective in
velvet-upholstered modern ban
quettes, which, with an 18th century
mahogany two-tiered table or dumb
waiter, made an interesting cock
tail or after-dinner coffee grouping
at one side of the room. Upholstered
host and hostess chairs, used with
side chairs at the dining table, could
be drawn up to complete the BAN
quette group.
