Nj rs
of the
Moment

When a woman who is always
hiking down her girdle starts rebuk-
ing her husband for constantly tug
ging at his collar, it's time to call
q foul and begin over again.
Both the male and the female
of the species have their peculiar,
and sometimes annoying. gestures.
Women are always poking at their
hair or pulling down their dresses
in the back, or shaking out their
names. And men tug at their neck
ties or their collars, or swing their
keys around in circles for hours or
endlessly rock from their heels to
their toes and back again.
Personally I do not consider any
of these habits too terrible. I think,
on the whole, they might be ignored
by ones intimates. But if the ges-
lures of your mate seem particularly
annoying to you, so that you cannot
ignore them. then I think you should
follow certain rules. First. look to
your own gestures. Second, never
rebuke your partner in public. And
third, try to set up some sort of
reciprocal agreement so that when
you report after party to your
husband that he swung his keys for
IS minutes he will feel free to report
to you that you patted your hair Ill
times. It's only fair. JEAN.

hour or two late in the afternoon.
The stores have helped somewhat by
expansion in some cases, by staying
open extra hours In others, but II
you do have the day comparatively
free, park Junior with the lady next
door and whip downtown early.
You'll find those misunderstood in
dividuals, the sales people, much
cheerier and happier in the morning
and the merchandise not so scram-
bled-which just goes to prove that
everybody benefits.
AS banal as 1t all sounds, we'd
like to say just once more that a
list is the next best thing to a bank
account when you're tackling Yule-
tide shopping. Make it out care
fully, with the name Of the recipient
to-be and the item you intend to
buy. Put down sizes if necessary
and, above all, just how much you
want to spend. Then you can start
Systematically running through the
list in each department. Give the
salesperson the best idea you can
of what you want and tell her about
the price, too to save hours Of her
time and yours.
Don't get frantic if you have to
wait a few moments before the
salesgirl can give you her undivided
attention First come. first served"
still remains the slogan, so don't get
grouchy and succeed in upsetting
only yourself And that reminds us,
try not to start out to shop II you
don't feel well or you've just had a
fight with the maid. Keeping calm
is the idea, and you'll find that it's
amazingly practical. Dress properly,
too. No matter how snappy your
new shoes, if they hurt your feet
they're not right for trudging
through the aisles. Wear a small
hat, preferably a simple one with
out a veil to get hooked on racks,
or feathers to menace the other
passengers in crowded elevators.
Speaking of elevators, there's no
use trying to give the impression
that you own the place by showing
in ahead of those who have been
waiting. Call out your floor dis
tinctly and be gracious enough to
mutter sorry" If you upset the
whole car by suddenly deciding to
get off at the third floor instead Of
the seventh. If you're standing in
front, step out to let others off It's
all right, the operator will wait for
you And, by the way, those
directories usually placed beside
elevators aren't kidding. You can
depend on the listings and save the
operators a lot of grief, l~.s.--
In other words, go about your
Christmas shopping Systematically.
calmly and with a fine considera-
tion for Others. It'll still be some
thing Of a mess, but since it's to be
done you might just as well make it
as painless as possible.

Good Technique for Christmas Shopping Smpes the Annual Problem
By Dorothy Murray

Don't forget Pups" this Christ
mas, for he likes to receive a gift
the same as the rest of the family.
Take stock of his equipment and see
just what he needs. Maybe it is a
new blanket, one OF those made OF
bright plaid wool, or a tight-fitting
knitted sweater with little sleeves
for his front legs. These are very
attractive and come in all of the gay
colors. Then, too, he might need
a new bed, and if so, there are sew
eral different styles. One is made Of
maroon canvas stretched over metal
and contains soft pillow. Pups"
really would dream of "doggie
heaven" if he had that to lie on. Z.
A large Christmas stocking con-
tanning rubber bones, balls and va
rious kinds of novelty dog foods is
another ideal article to present 70
your dog He will love to nose into
the stocking and extract its contents
without any outside help. .
While on the subject of gifts for
your favorite pet, we offer another
suggestion in the cosmetic" line.
A bubble bath shampoo" made
especially for him not only helps TO
improve the beauty of his coat, but
saves him and you from that awful
struggle of bathing and rinsing,
since no water is used. d. =.
The calorie and vitamin con-
scious public will be delighted TO
know that Marion Brown has writ
ten two pocket-sized books on these
subjects. They are about 4 inches
by 212 inches in size, have durable
covers and are very inexpensive.
Quite sensibly, the small books do
not attempt to prescribe diet for
any one, but if you are already
watching your figure. they'll help
you to make sensible selections. Z.
Hubby" would appreciate having
a handkerchief case to match his
travelling set This is square, fitted
with Upper fastening. and comes
in many kinds of leather. Possibly
he doesn't know that such an article
exists. so surprise him with one
this year. :.
At your next party. serve the ice
for beverages from a handsome sill
ver- plated ice tub that is vacuum
lined. You will find that the ice
is kept intact for a much greater
length of time. -.
Large hollow squares Of block glass
are used today as attractive substi-
tutes for old fashioned fish bowls.

Consideration
For Others
Important
Children's Attitude
About Christmas
To Be Directed
BY LeIHce Lee Street,

IL y LIZ LIZ eLtS
When q little child thinks OF
Christmas his eyes shine with the
joyful anticipation of the toys that
Santa Claus will leave for him be-
meath the gaily trimmed Christmas
tree and before the wonderful day
arrives he is busy thinking of a list
Of gifts he wants-his thoughts are
entirely centered upon himself. This
Is quite normal, of course, as we
all realize that children are self
centered small egotists because they
have not had time and experience
to teach them that happiness really
lies in forgetfulness of self.
While we have no wish to cloud
child's happiness in looking
forward to Christmas morning, we
may, without disillusioning him, be-
gin to teach him the true meaning
of this happy season while he is still
very young.
No little child can be expected to
comprehend lengthy explanations,
but a mother may plant in his re-
ceptive young mind the seed of the
true words that ''it is more blessed
to give than to receive" She may
do this If she lets her youngster
see her making preparations for the
fun Of others, If she talks before
him about planning presents for
others and perhaps shares with him
some important Christmas time Sc
'cret, such as a present for daddy,
or allows him to choose his own
small gifts for the other members
Of the family.
We would lose the spirit of Christ
mas altogether If some one else
selected and wrapped our presents
for our families and friends. and
to shut a child out Of these happy
tasks is to deprive him of the very
joy Of Yuletide.
1t is much more important to let
a child feel happily included in the
activities before Christmas and to
allow him to help you in some small
way, such as pasting stars or stick
ers on the gift packages, even if
they are applied somewhat untidiIy.
than to chase him away and wrap
the presents to perfection. If
daddy's gift has been clumsily
wrapped by awkward but devoted
little fingers 1t has much more value
than II 1t were tastefully beribboned
by the expert.
When a child is old enough to
handle pencils, crayons and paints
1t will afford him much amusement
and satisfaction If he is encouraged
to color or make his own Christmas
cards. 1t does not matter II they
are crude, the thought and trouble
of making something for another
is what counts.
The same holds true about Christ
mas gifts themselves and Christmas
means much more in it's truest sense
to the child who is helped in making
little presents, such as calendars,
pin cushions, pot holders, book ends.

Young Girls Should Have Playtime

she will be what you want when
she is in her 20s and 30s and 40s.
At % you may. as you say. be old
enough to know what love is, though
that assertion is open to debate
But you know very well that no girl
in her early teens is old enough to
have the remotest idea of what love
is, and for you to marry her would
be like taking candy away from a
baby
Don't be cruel enough and foolish
enough to marry this little child.
1t Is crime. Don't marry any girl
who hasn't had her playtime Of life.
If she doesn't have it when she Is
young she is only too apt to take
it when she is older.

Haste makes waist!

Haste makes waist
The kind of haste that sends you

Dear Dorothy Dix: I am % years

her, but both her family and mine
object on account of her age. I

my heavy days work I would like
to haven wife, as my friend has.
who gives him her love and Is a
good housekeeper and companion.
Will you please tell me what to do
about this. I am so greatly dis
couraged and unhappy that look
old and have lost so much weight
that sometimes I think I won't be
able to do my days work. j. K S.
Answer-Well, son, I earnestly ad
wise you to give up all ideas of be-
coming a cradle-snatcher and to
cast your affections upon some girl
who has, at least. attained mar
riageable age. There is risk enough
in marriage anyway without taking
a chance on what sort of wife a
kid will make when she grows up.
A girl in her early teens is the most
unguessable riddle in the world. She
is at an age when she is changing
every day, passing from childhood
into womanhood, and when neither
she nor anybody else has the faintest
idea of how she is going to develop.
Sometimes the young girl who
was brat and pest grows up into
being fine, sweet woman, and
sometimes Sweetums develops a
razor tongue. Sometimes the little
girl giggler develops a brain. and
sometimes the prize pupil never
learns anything that isn't set down
in a textbook. Sometimes the ugly
duckling turns into a swan and
again the girl who took the prize
as the most beautiful baby develops
into q homely woman.
So there you are. And 1t is GER
|tainly the part of prudence and
wisdom to choose the kind Of wife
you want "as is," as the shipping
manifests say, instead of marrying
a child and trusting to luck that

that they are small passageWays

1t were cheese. This situation will
mean that you should call an ex-
pert right away who will advise
you on how to rid your house OF

guards to keep them out, how the
present foundation may be treated
and how many of the beams must
be replaced. Sometimes only GER
tain sections of the beams are i'm

that they do not need to be taken

presence of either termites or dry
rot 1t is best to get professional ad-
vice so that none of your efforts
or investment will be wasted.
Dear Miss Nowell-We have just
moved into a house which must
have the stair hall repainted. The
paint which is now on it looks like
calsomine and has Clipped off on
several spots up the stairs, under
and over windows. Can you tell us
why it has Clipped in these places
and not in others-and how We can
proceed to refinish with success
L. I. T.
Answer-There might be several
reasons for this. Possibly there has
been a leak above and below the
windows, which may have been cor
rected but leaves evidence of damp
ness within. Or possibly the plaster
is directly over brick wall in all
places where there are windows
where at other points it would be
on an inside walD which might
mean that dampness or even
changes in temperature would cause
surface changes in the paint. Also
some paints will chip when the wal
has not been properly sized. Suggest
you get a good painter to look over
the situation and follow his advice
on how the present paint may be
removed. how the walls should be
prepared for new paint. and what
would be the best way of refinishing
so that the paint would stay on the
wall. 1t is very difficult, at this
distance, to do more than suggest
the causes for the present condition
of your walls.
Dear Miss NOVEL;: I have three
pieces of furniture which think are
late Victorian They are very well
made, of walnut with an incised de-
sign and consist Of sofa, stationary
rocker and straight chair. These
are in such good condition that
would like to use them but their
uneven outline and out -of-date pc
riod makes them most difficult to
handle. T. D.
Answer-I think I know the type
Of furniture to which you refer.
You may 'smarten' them up by
painting the frame to go with your
color scheme and upholster them
in gay fabrics. or you may saw off
their protuberences, pad them, and
upholSter the whole surface. You
are right. they are both well made
and comfortable, and either of these
treatments will make them much
easier to use in a contemporary
house.

AnsWer-If Vat dyes, color fast

selvedge you may be sure that this
is true. But to make doubly sure,
buy an eighth Of yard and treat
1t just the way you would expect
to treat the draperies. Remember
that strong soaps, soaking, or care
less washing will be hard on most
fabrics and colors. Mild soap,
washing according to directions,
