Suffixes to
Names Are
Confusing
Involved Problem
Is Best Solved
By Diagram
By Emily Post

The questions which are asked me
more often than any others, except
those about weddings, are those
about names. To get the following
suffix questions straight, I had to
scribble a diagram. So to any read
ct who may be struggling with this
always confusing name problem, I
suggest that you make a diagram,
too. in order to "See" this family
tree: Beginning at the top with
James Robert Blank, and his first
wife, who had son, James Robert
Blank junior, who in turn had a
son, James Robert Blank the Sd.
The wife of J. R. B. the Sd is an
invalid who can never have chill
dren. Meanwhile, the original J. R.
B. at the top (the grandfather) had
b Aon Henry by his second wife.
Now this son has a newborn son
whose parents intend to name him
James Robert Blank the 4th if this
can be done.
The answer is: Henry'S son is not
fourth, but second. He is at the
top of the collateral line. and not
4th of the direct line. If he were
the son Of j. R. B. Sd, he would
be 4th. Or If he should have a son
and grandson of the same name,
they will be Sd and 4th. If an
inheritance of property is involved,
this order may be important and a
lawyer should be consulted. Other
wise, perhaps it would be all right
to call him fourth if that is pre-
ferred.

Here is a youthful design bring

sion of that much discussed new
long torso line! Pattern No. 1476-B
derives its fresh. original charm
from the fact that it is inspired
by the MILDLY revival and this new
MILDLY is bringing cheers from COL
lege girls, young career girls and
young matrons-all who like clothes
which are different The top with
its turndown collar and Byronic bow
tie fits magnifcently. the long darts
tapering it to cling closely through
the waistline. The skirt is attached
at the low waistline point and has
a full gathered fullness across the
front.
Furthermore, there are no difficult
ties in making this frock, for the
pattern is simple to follow. When
it is finished, however. the dress
looks like the product of a profess
sional dressmaker! Emphasize the
smart, long top by making it of
contrasting fabric, navy blue, brown,
bright red or bright green with a
checked or plaid skirt and the plaid
repeated in the tie and cuffs.

boys. Some of them go out with girls
solely or chiefly for woo-pitching
purposes. They get romantic at their
very first opportunity, and if girl
will have none of it, they usually
don't come back. Which is break
for the grill
But the average fellow dates girl
because he likes her for number
of reasons. Sooner or later he'll us
ually try to kiss her, simply because
he does like her, and because want
ing to kiss girl he likes is the most
natural thing in the world for boy.
Suppose you refuse. Unless you
are very tactful in explaining your
attitude, the boy thinks you don't
like him. His ego is bruised, his
feelings are hurt, and he quits COM
ing around. That's probably exactly
what happened to you, P. G.
We think it's cheap to let boy
kiss you just to keep him coming
back, thus using your kisses as mere
times. The only legitimate reason
for letting boy kiss you is because
you like him we'll enough to want
him to. But if that's the situation,
you don't need to worry about his
losing his respect" for you.
Always provided, of course, that
you don't pass your kisses around to
a lot of boys, that you aren't overly
generous even with one boy, and
that you never give the chronic
neckers q chance!

themselves be kiSSed-that they lose
their respect for them and set them
down as easy marks. If this is true,
why is it that fellows prefer to date
that kind of a girl?
For several months I went with
a boy whom I liked very much. One
evening, however, I refused to let
him kiss me, and he has never
asked me for another date. Now, If
a fellow loses his respect for a girl
who lets herself be kissed, why is he
disappointed in her if she does not?"
Now those, P. G., are very peril
nent questions, and we'd love to see
the souirming that lot of adults
would do trying to answer them. But
here goes for try-and We'll do our
best to keep from squirming.
First of all, 1t just isn't true that
a fellow invariably loses respect for
a girl who lets him kiss her. Nor
does he Immediately set her down
as an easy mark. Any adult who
tells you that either isn't being hon.
est, or else he just doesn't know.
The thing that lowers you in the
eyes of a boy isn't the fact that he
can kiss you. Far from it! That
merely makes him feel that he Is
pretty fine stuff, and that you have
excellent taste. But if he thinks
or knows-that a lot of other boys
also can kiss you-well, that's some
thing vastly different. His ego is
Immediately Debated, and he takes
it out in thinking ill of you.
There is very important distinc-
ton here, and one that girl can't
afford to ignore. Letting one boy
kiss you occasionally won't hurt
your reputation; letting lot Of them
do 1t certainly will.

By Josephine LOWman
Today thousands Of women are
expecting their first babies. Isn't
It wonderful? You are beginning to
understand what life is all about,
to feel its deep currents running
through your heart. 1t is one of
those great adventures and poetic
experiences which give living new
significance.
Don't use your lovely little bundle
as an alibi for future loss of attrac-
tiveness. Motherhood should add to
your beauty rather than detract
from it. Having a child is a natural
process. 1t gives the spirit depth
and the face beauty, it adds ma
turity and a new bloom, and there
is no reason, except your own care
lessness, for losing your figure. So
don't blame your baby!
1t is true that you need more
food now because you must nourish
your child as well as yourself. How
ever, your pregnancy should not be
used as an excuse for indulging an
uninhibited appetite, If you stuff
yourself day after day, the un-
needed food will land on your hips,
waistline and tummy as fatty de-
positS.
An average pregnancy weighs from
16 to 20 pounds and most phySi-
clans today want you TO keep your
gain pretty close to that amount.
Be sure to get the vital necessary
foods, and then watch your scales.
Diet always is important to a
woman, but correct food is an abso-
lutte essential for the pregnant
woman if she is to emerge from
childbirth without deficiencies which
will put their mark on her health
and her beauty.
If your diet is extremely low in
vital elements, it may even affect the
sturdiness of your baby. Nature
takes what it needs for the baby
and you get what is left. Therefore
you are most likely to suffer.
DR.. Maude NJ Gerdes, obstetric
conSultant for the United States
Childrens Bureau. says: The i'm
portance of the nutritional status Of
the pregnant woman is receiving
more attention than ever before.
There is no denying the fact that a
woman who is in good nutritional
condition is better able to withstand
the demands of pregnancy and
labor"
In 1885 Great Britain started some
interesting experimentation along
this line with the underprivileged
whose diet was not all that it should
have been. Supplemental food was
given to pregnant women with happy
results. The puerperal death rate

Cheaper Meat Cuts

Braising, boiling, simmering and
stewing are the cooking processes
to use for less tender cuts of meat.
Although they are less expensive,
these cuts are no less nutritious than
more costly ones. Try soaring the
meat first in a small amount of fat.
Such a process gives added flavor
ing and a good color Vegetables
and seasonings may be added later.
But the most important thing to
remember is that little water and
long, slow cooking are needed to
break down the meat flbers and
make them tender.

Small Child
Should Not
Have Pet
Both Youngster
And Animal
Better Off
BY Lettice Lee Street,

Dear Mrs. STREET.: We have an
only child who is almost 2 years
old. We have just moved outside
of the city and my husband is crazy
about animals and wants to get a
puppy or kitten for Danny. I like
dogs and cats all right, but I am
afraid to have one around the baby
because of germs such a pet would
carry. What do you think? My
husband thinks I am stubborn about
it. We decided to ask you and let
you settle this for us if you will
MRS. D. H.
A child as young as years old
has no realization of what he should
and should not touch. He would
just as soon put his curious little
hand on a hot stove as not, or into
lions mouth, for that matter.
Given young animal to hold, such
as tiny kitten or puppy or baby
chick. he will almost invariably
handle it too roughly, picking the
helpless little thing up by its neck
! or one leg, or squeezing it too tightly.
To defend themselves, kittens can
scratch with frantically extended
claws and puppies bite with their
needle-sharp teeth. A baby chick
would literally be loved and Rugged
to death!
The wound that healthy young
| animal can inf1ict may not be deep
| or poisonous, but any cut. bite or
scratch presents the possibility Of
/ infection. Even if the baby is not
seriously hurt, you do not want him
to have this pain and fright.
Little children this age and up TO
about 3 years old play too care
lessly with pets to be allowed alone
with them with any safety. The
most patient and devoted older dog
who has known the baby since birth,
and takes the business of guarding
his loved ones very seriously. Will
respond with his animal intuition TO
self f-preServation if the child hurts
him in play. When this occurs. the
dog is very apt to snap at the baby
and may conceivably inflict pain
full wound.
In addition to the fact that the
2-year-old seeks to touch every
thing with his sensitive fingers. he
also does not hesitate to put any
thing that appeals to him into his
mouth. This is another reason why
a small animal lover should not be
left alone with his pet. because
surely you do not want him to chew
on his puppy's ear or tail! After a
baby has patted puppy or kitten,
it is well to wash his hands, because
you know how often those fingers
are in his mouth.
I see no reason why family
should deny themselves the pleasure
Of pets just because they have
baby. Simply see to it that the
| baby is not endangered by the
animal, The fact is that until
child is at least years old it is
wisest not to let him play with pets.
