enough to stand on their own feet
who had parents who entered into
their fun and aided and abetted
them in having innocent good times.
No, cheerfulneSS is the cement
that keeps home intact and holds
a family together. A man may slave
himself to death to give his wife and
children fine home, fine cars, fine
clothes, but they won't love him nor
be grateful to him if he is grumpy
and fault finding and if his very
presence sends the domestic atmoS-
phere down to below zero.
A woman may spend hours over
the gas range preparing a delicious
meal for her family, but it will lie
heavy on their stomachS If they have
to. eat it listening to her walls about
how tired she is and how hard she
works and how she never can dress
up and go about as other women do.
What a man wants in his wife
more than beauty, more than bril-
lance. more than domesticity, is
cheerfulneSS. He wants to come
home at night to smiling woman
who shows in her face that she
thinks she is lucky to have gotten
him for q husband; who will tell
him the cute things the children
have done and entertain him with a
budget of amusing gossip.
He wants wife whose cheerful
ness will back him up when things
go wrong and give him fresh cour-
age to fight on, whose hope will
kindle new hope in him and whose
laughter will save him from suicide.
And, above everything else. a
woman wants a cheerful husband; a
man whose coming home seems to
| flood the house with light and set
the joy bells ringing; man who
laughs off the inevitable domestic
mishaps instead of making tragedies
out of them; man who Is jolly
and good-natured and easy to get
along with and who makes his wife
feel that being married to him is a
perpetual picnic instead Of being a
life sentence at hard labor.
| So great are the rewards of cheer
| fulness that it is Strange that we do
not give more thought to cultivating
it. For, after all. cheerfulness is
only what Stephenson called the
brave attitude toward life-taking
what comes to us with smile in
! stead Of whine.

floor OfnceS ana asked Tor reactions
to whiffs of this perfume. The de-
cision was unanimous-and highly
favorable.
AS long as we're expounding the
theory of modesty in relation to
beauty items, it seems just the time
to include a word or two about
very special liquid that uses only a
formula number for identification.
This product is actually matte
finish powder base with healing
qualities that go to work on pimples,
blackheads and skin erupEons of a
minor order, thus enabling you and
me to cover our temporarily marred
countenances with a film which
helps to Danish blemishes and which
does not show.
Matter of fact, this is an excel
lent powder base and keeps your
makeup looking fresh, with a
smooth, even finish. There's silky
powder suspended in it, too, so be
sure to shake the bottle well before
applying the liquid and then feel
confident that you have silky
smooth complexion plus an effective
agent that is working for your
benefit. Think of the joy of dis
carding messy, unattractive creams
and ointments, substituting dou-
BILE feature product instead!
Not to change the subject, but
when you come right down to it
there isn't a great deal one can
say in describing q bath powder.
After all, they all appear much the
same, and it's difficult to pin some
distinguishing feature on a single
one-even on one that Is as good
as that we've recently run across.
We will say, however, that we
don't remember q bath powder with
more satisfying fragrance. It's
neither too sticky sweet nor too
heavy, and it doesn't interfere with
any perfume or cologne you may
care to use later. What's more, it's
a delightfully."- refreshing aroma TO
have waiting around the place.
One of our friends tells US that
when she uses this powder after
her bath the fragrance of it seems
to go all over the apartment, con-
fusing friends, who are sure that
she goes around with an atomizer
full of cologne spraying all the
rooms. But she says she doesn't;
just uses the bath powder gener-
ously.

warm welcome for them in their
children's homes. 1t is the wet
blanket old folks whom nobody
wants about them.
No one can compute in dollars and
cents the value of cheerfulneSS in
business. When Sunny Jim and
Gloomy Gus apply for the same job
Sunny Jim will get it, though
Gloomy Gus may really be the better
man. A long face kills trade. There
is something hypnotic about a gay
and smiling countenance that lifts
our own spirits and makes us buy a
hat 10 years too young for us and
that costs more than we can afford !;
whereas gloomy salesman de-
presses us and makes us feel that
there is no use in purchasing hat
at all when the world is so full Of toll
and sorrow and trouble, and that we
probably won't live to wear it any
way.
Furthermore, cheerfulness is the
great panacea that we are all seek
ing for domestic ills. 1t would do
more than any other one thing to
stop divorce, discourage philander-
ing and keep adolescent children of
the streets at night.
You never hear of a home that is
full of laughter and gayety being
broken up. You never hear of hus-
bands and wives who are jolly COM
panions having affairs with other
women and gigolos.
You never hear of children leaving
home as soon as they are strong

Weaving
Must Be
Gradual
Period May Extend
Over Two Months
Or Even Longer
By Leftice Lee Street,

The smiling year-old baby who
tries TO hold the cup az his mother
feeds him, playfully tugging at the
handle and looking over the rim
with bright. twinkling eyes, is the
happy picture Of q baby who has
been successfully and sensibly
weaned.
Whether your baby will be weaned
from the breast or the bottle. the
change should be made gradually.
If weaving is done suddenly the
baby may resort to thumb sucking
or the chewing OF his clothes.
blankets or sheets, besides being
made very nervous and unhappy.
His trust in the mother who has
always handled him so gently can
be deeply shaken, and his whole
little world is terribly upset.
A doctors advice should be sought
during the two months period of
gradual weaving which may start
when the baby is 8 months old and
should be completed by the time he
has had his 1st birthday anniversary.
The foods, in addition to milk
that the baby is already taking
from a spoon, are an aid to even-
tual weaving, and you may start
by giving him his water from
spoon. Then one day pour tiny
bit of milk into spoon or a little
cup and offer it to the baby before
his bottle or other foods, while he
is good and hungry. Then give the
balance Of the feeding from the
bottle. Increase the amount in
the cup each day. Do this at first
with only one feeding a day and
gradually include all, but let the
bedtime feeding be the last one you
change
1t sometimes takes a baby a week
or two to become accustomed to his
new food. However. the condensed
evaporated and other forms Of
processed milk which are in use
today seem to agree with the great
! percentage of babies because this
milk is rendered digestible. The
| chances are that your baby will
/ take to his new formula with gusto,
| but if he has Indigestion tell your
| doctor at once. Sometimes just a
slight change in the mixture will
make it agree with the infant.
BY the time baby is year old
he should be eating entirely from a
cup or spoon, and if not. trouble is in
store for him and his mother, too.
