Of the
Nj O m e n t

Some girls are very poor at ac-
ceptlng compliments. There is one
type who bushes, stammers, covers
her face with her hand, kicks her
toe around, looks at the floor, and
In general thoroughly disourages the
giver of the compliment from ever
trying 1t again.
Another type always comes back
smartly with the remark, I'll bet
you tell that to every girl" That,
of course, knocks the compliment,
and puts the whole thing on a
f1ippant basis. It's an effect you
may want to get. But don't try it
when you're aiming for some sincere
expression of admiration.
Still another type of girl answers
the remark. Gee, you look swell to-
night" with Il do not. I look ter
rible My dress doesn't fit, and my
hair is mess" Too much of that,
and you may find your admirer is
beginning to believe you.
Probably the simplest way to re-
eeive compliment is to say, why,
thank you, Harry" And look him
In the eye and smile. JEAN.

Dorothy Dix Says go
Parents Should Not Make Home
Into Jail for Children

The problem of how to keep their
teen-age children home of evenings
is one over which parents grow gray
and acquire wrinkles before their
time. Ever since they carried home
the little pink and blue bundles
from the maternity hospital they
have been looking forward to the
day when their children would be
companions to them and they would
spend long, pleasant evenings with
their offspring gathered about their
knees while father told Johnny all
about what wonderful marks he got
at school when he was a boy and
mamma related to Mamie all the
interesting details of how she was
mothers little helper when she was
a girl. But then Johnny and
Mamie evlnce no craving for their
parents society, and apparently they
regard their homes as only places in
which to eat and sleep and change
their clothes and get away from as
quickly as possible. Their idea of
a pleasant evening does not even
take in the chance of spending it in
the bosom of the family. This
wounds the parents in their most
vulnerable spots, their affections and
their vanity. 1t hurts them that
Mamie and Johnny do not enjoy
being with them as they enjoy being
with Mamie and Johnny, and they
can't understand why their children
want to be perpetually gadding
around when they could stay quietly
at home and rest, nor why they
prefer the company of bunch of
giggling young girls to the society
of two intelligent, educated people
whose conversation would be i'm
proving.
Hence in virtually every home in
the land in which there are half
grown children there goes on a con-
tinual struggle between the parents
to keep the children at home of eve
nings and the children to get out.
Now, of course. the reason why
children do not want TO stay at
home of evenings are many and
varied One is that they are gre
garious by nature and like to run
in herds. 1t is only after we get
old that we learn to entertain our
selves
Another reason is that only the
same ages have anything in common
and old people bore young people
just as much as cooling babies do
adults. The fathers and mothers
who think that they can really be
companions to their children simply
deceive themselves. They can't.
And still another reason why the
between-ag want to step out in
stead of staying in, is because home
cramps their style. 1t isn't that they
want to do anything wrong. 1t is
just that they want little personal
liberty.
They want to strut their age. They
want to pose as men and women
instead of kids, and they can't do
that at home. The hardest thing
in the world for parents to realize
is that their children grow up.
Another reason why children don't
stay at home of evenings is because
home is so often made a Jail for
them and their parents constitute
themselves their keepers, and the
natural human impulse is to break

Excitement

School Contests
Ease a Child's
War Fever
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Our 12-year-old son is driv,
ing us frantic with his war talk. Nc
matter what the subject under dis
cussion may be he drags in some
thing about what he is going to do t
the enemy. He will scalp him, hang
him, blow him up with bombs, fight
with planes and ships and armies
and wipe him off the earth with one
blast from his battle fleet. He
dreams, lives, talks war. What can
be done about it?"
Give him some work, some kind
of game, on which he can vent
this excitement. The radio and
the newspapers and the talk of the
people on the street as we'll as in
the homes stimulates some children
unduly, and they will have to be
given some occupation that absorbs
this or they will be ill.
During the last war We had a
few boys who were overstimulated
by the war news. They tried to
enlist and almost succeeded once
or twice, although they were from
II to IA years of age. They were
big and strong and charged with
tremendous energy and they had
to find an outlet for it. They made
trouble for everybody they met until
one day somebody had the good
sense to send them out to the
school farm to dig up a field of
turnips.
Just make believe they're the
enemy and 60 after them" said
the teacher. Armed with spades,
forks and baskets they charged on
the turnips. They yelled and raced
about brandishing their weapons,
until they were weary. Then they
went after the turnips. They worked
most of the day and by the time the
whistle blew they had enough.
We'll work here again tomorrow, :"
said the teacher.
The next day one boy had dropped
out OF the army. He reported for
class work without comment. BY
the fourth day only 2 out of the
10 were left and by Monday morn
ing the complete unit was at work
at lessons as usual, the excitement
trimmed down to reasonable limits.
I must report, however, that the
turnips never were the same again.
But they could be spared in a good
cause.
We cannot talk to boys into quiet
and calm consideration of war prep
aratlon when we have excited them
by our acts. Once they are started
on the warpath they will have some
acceptable way of releasing the ex-
element. Just what that will be has
to be the outgrowth of the situation
the possibilities, the needs. The
work must be active and call for
exertlon, and above all it must be
real. The turnips must be in the
ground ready to dig. No make-be-
lieve ones will do.
This war talk is hard on children.
They cannot read about homeless,
fleeing children; they cannot meet
eXlled children, and not be stirred.
They would be dull indeed if they
could. But school and home must
now take their situation into con-
slderation and provide for ways to
express the feeling so that it does
not lead them and us into trouble.
School bands, class contests on
the playground, constructive WAYS
Of helping the exiled children, ac-
tive participation in the grown
ups work will help. This force
can be used for the good of the
children and for the welfare of
the country If we are intelligent

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
Santa Claus left 5-week-old
puppy at our house. I am at a loss
about his training and he is too
young to be left out of doors. Can
you give me instruction about feed
ing and housebreaking him and also
how to keep him from chewing
things? He has already worked on
the heel of one of my slippers.
MRS. F. C. c.
Answer-I wish I felt competent
or had space enough to give you
complete information, but the quick
est way I know is to go to one OF
the pet shops where you may get
book on training dogs, or call the
veterinary in your neighborhood for
advice. 1t makes quite difference
what type of dog you are training,
as some are more nervous and sensl-
tive than others. Your library will
also have some literature on know
ing and training various breeds
which may interest you.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
Can you suggest color scheme
for my dining room? The walls are
a nice gray and so is the woodwork,
but it needs "livening-up." The two
windows are high and close together
and could be done as one. The floor
is black linoleum. The room is fairly
small and I shall have to get new
table or use an old, round one OF
golden oak which might be ref1n-
ished. I do want gay color scheme.
MRS. E. D.
Ansver-Polish your black floor til
it glistens. Cover the round table
with a cloth which falls to the floor
and is banded with green fringe
inches deep. Have piece of plate
glass cut to fit the top of the table
and and as you will not see the
table you will not need to have it
refnished. AS the room is small
the round table will be better than
anything you might buy Use clear
emerald-green draperies over Vene-
tian blinds at the window. Uphol-
ster or slip-cover the chairs in
lemon-yellow and use touches of gilt
and vermillion to hven the whole.

out of any place in which We are
imprisoned.
In the average home no youngster
can do anything without being put
through the third degree about it,
nor go anywhere without a family
discussion and fight about it.
Now l would humbly suggest that
the parents who wish tc keep their
children at home should begin by
reforming themselves, which can be
done, instead of trying to reform the
children, which can't be done.
Let them recognize that half
grown girls and boys are no longer
infants to be amused with building
block houses and want to be tucked
into bed at 7 o'clock.
Play up to their own ideas about
themselves. Don't confine your con-
versation with them to criticizing
them and saying don't Make
home place where they will be
sure of admiration and encourage
ment.
Print welcome on your doormat
and let them feel free TO bring in
their friends, and see that they have
a good time when they come. When
the boy friend comes to see Mamie,
don't treat him as if he were a
burglar who had come to steal the
spoons. Be friendly and cordial and
then fade out of the picture. Don't
sit around eavesdropping the con-
versation
Don't have furniture that is too
good to be used. Don't have floors
that are too clean TO be tracked up
with mud. Don't have rugs that
can't be turned back when the
youngsters want to dance. Don't
have nerves that can't stand noise
Don't complain that you can't
sleep if the radio is turned on after
10. Make your home the pleasantest
place they know and your children
will stay in 1t. DOROTHY DIX.

kind that comes already cooked and
seasoned for you in jars or cans
ready to be heated and used "as is
or IN some special concoction of
your own.
Don't overlook the less used forms
of macaroni, such as the alphabets
and numerals for soups, the dainty
small noodles, the decorative
"shells," and the handy elbows" of
both spaghetti and macaroni. Then
there is vermicelli, and the big broad
noodles so popular in the foreign
type.
All of the macaronis are simple
to cook, but few hints may not
be amisS Never add any ma
caroni products to cold water-the
water must be boiling briskly. One
teaspoon of salt should be added
to two or three quarts of water.
The macaroni should be stirred oc-
casionally to prevent sticking, and
1t should be cooked only until it
Is tender-overcooking tends to
tougher any of the products.

are patterned after various flowers,
such as gardenias, camellias, roses

low those of the real flowers. They
are smart worn with black dresses,
and we think they also would go
exceptionally well with lighter
summer shades. People in the

three feet high and is only two feet

Answer would suggest that you
use one of the rug shampoos or one of
the mildest flake soaps in lukewarm
water. If the red came out of the
paper readily, it may do the same
out of the rug. Shampoo it sew
eral times with as little water as
possible. If this does not work it
will be safest to send it out, as any
bleach we might suggest would
leave a white spot which would be
almost as unpleasant as the red
one.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I have an old walnut dresser that
is very nice piece OF furniture.
I would like very much to use it In
my dining room and place col
lection of old china on it. AS I
have some very fine plates I would
like to display those, too. but there
are no shelves above the dresser,
and I doubt if we could get any
that would match it. Can you
suggest something We might do to
make the dresser and the china
into a useful and decorative COM
bination?
T.P.O.
AnsWer-You might use a small
hanging shelf which could be stained
to match the dresser. Place the
china on the shelves of this and then
hang your lovely plates all around
it, which will build it out to the
right proportion. I think you will
find this makes an important look

Color accents are mighty impor-
tant in masculine style circles these
days, but they take the form of ac-
cessories rather than principal ar
ticleS of dress. The basic colors in
clothing are brown, gray, blue and
green, so it's up to the accessories
to provide that blazing touch.
Solid color muff1ers for town and
checked or plaid styles for country
are really gay-and good looking in
sets, with gloves to match. Pigskin
remains the best all-around hand
covering for the busy man.
Socks of woods and isle -wool-cot-
ton mixtures appear in solid colors,
clocked or striped for town. In
bright diamond plaids they're good
for country. And remember the
antique finish shoe which appeared
this fall? It's gaining more and
more followers. Country and semi
sports wear are still calling for the
heavy brogue, of course.
