0methine to cheer about!

A group of high school girls asks
me who is my favorite heroine. All,
that's a hard question to answer.
There have been so many great
women through all the ages who
are to be revered for so many diff
ferent reasons that I have never
known which one admired most,
There are, just to name few,
Boadicea and Semiramis fighting
to defend their countries and lead
ing their armies to victory: Cleo
patra, the glamour girl of all time;
Elizabeth and Victoria, the states
women under whose reigns Eng
land reached its peaks of glory:
Joan of Arc, with her dreams and
her martyrdom: Mollie Pitcher fir
ing her gun against the red coats:
Florence Nightingale, the minister
ing angel of modern nursing: Clara
Barton, who founded the Red Cross;
Frances Willard, who fought the
demon rum to a standStill; Carrie
Chapman Gait and Anna Shaw and
Susan B. Anthony, who gave suf-
frage to women: Nine. Curie, who,
with her husband, discovered ra-
dunn; scores of women writers and
artists and musicians who have
added to the sweetness and light OF
the world Great gals. all I take
off my hat to each and every one
of them and thank them for bene-
fits received. But, aside from these
great ones. there are three smaller
heroines who get little acclaim from
the world at large, but who are the
object of my own particular, private,
personal reverence. The first OF
these is Eve, who, it seems to me,
has never got her just deserts be-
cause of that apple-eating epi-
sode. True, she got fired out of
Eden, but think of the compensa-
tions she brought us! Consider her
record of achievements She was
the first human being ever TO crave
knowledge. She was the first per-
son on earth ever to rise above the
fatuous complacency of wanting to
know more than they knew. She
was the first original investigator
and so she was the pioneer of all
the scientists and inventors and
adventurers who, like her, have
risked paradise to find out what
made the wheels 60 round.
Eve also bestowed two other bene-
factions on her sons and daughters
To women she gave clothes. which
from their greatest-grandmother's
time down to the present minute
has been their chief preoccupation.
an excitement whose thrill never
stalled, a pursuit in which they never
wearied, a consolation that never
failed in times of trouble and a
topic of conversation that never
wore out.

Diligent Care
Of the Face
Necessary
Soap and Water
Great Benefit
Treatment
-shigeta Wright Photo.
By Patricia Lindsay

Girls and women who shy away
from soap and water as a beauty
treatment are displaying their ig-
norance, for soap and WATERPROOF
viding the soap is bland and the
water soft-are by far the greatest
aids to personal loveliness we have.
Naturally I assume that you
bathe or shower your entire body
frequently-once a day if circum-
stances permit, using plenty of soap
application. That is simply con-
forming to society's enlightened
health rule. But I wonder if the
women and girls who read this COL
umn daily actually wash their faces
thoroughly and often enough.
Unless your skin is allergic to
soaps or so sensitive that even a
washing with a linen cloth irritates
it. you can actually scrub your COM
pleXion with brush and soap four.
five or six times week. Yes,
mean working up lather with a
complexion brush, bland soap and
lukewarm water and scrubbing those
areas which are most quickly af-
fected by minor blemiShes-the
chin, high on the cheekboneS and
the sides of the nose.
Take mirror to a candid light
and examine your skin diligently
Do you have any minor blemishes?
Underskin hard pimples, white
heads, blackheadS. small pimples?
Does your skin look pasty? Do
you have a slight acne condition?
If your skin is free of all these, has
it a vital, fresh appearance?
A thorough scrubbing frequently
will Danish all those complexion ALL
ments. But you cannot expect mir
acles the first time you scrub. You
must repeat the treatment until
your skin is as fresh and vital as it
should be-then you should scrub
regularly once or twice a week to
keep it that way.
Two precautions you must take,
though. One is to rinse your skin
very well. 1t might take from three
to five minutes to get every bit of
lather off your face-and every bit
should come off. First, use warm
water, then cooler and at last cold,
until your skin squeaks from clean
illness.
The other precaution is a protec-
ton against dryness. You may need
none; your freshened skin may Sc
crete sufficient natural fabrication
But if it doesn't, use very thin
powder base or softening lotion or
cream which agrees with YOUR skin,

Embryonic Designers
ToGet Their Chance
Rr Helen TOpt
By Helen VOgl

If you've ever watched high
school girl shop fer clothes, then
you know that she'll fight to the
bitter end of the SaleSgirls patience
to get the things she wants. This
same determination and fixed ideas
among the teen-age set has gwen
rise to an opportunity for them to
design the type of clothes they like,
and stand very good chance of
seeing them actually made up and
put on the market. In conjunction
with Parents Magazine, one of our
local stores is running a designing
contest that promises 10 be as in
teresting to the observer as it is
lucrative for the winners. Any
young lady from II to II can enter
the race, provided she will design
a complete wardrobe consisting of
three pieces. She needn't be an
embryonic Rembrandt. either, as
long as she has some good ideas for
fall clothes and can express them
clearly.

the three winners will get cash, as
we'll as the fun of seeing their fash
ion brain children come out with
price tags on them! These clothes
will be sold throughout the country
as official High School Board FASH
ions and will be pictured in Parents
Magazine in September. What S
more, it might even be the beginning
of career for some youngster who
had no idea she possessed even a
smidgen of designing talent. Stran-
ger things have happened.
Personally, we think it sounds like
fun, and we only hope that some
"teen-age" manufacturers will look
closely at all the designs. If they
do, maybe the lot of the high school
girl will be better one-and she'll
at last be able to get the clothes she
wants.

SO here we have five causes of
friction, any one of which can lead
to trouble between human beings

operating in your home most of the

mothers fret and fathers storm?
Frankly we think that most fami-

along still better if they'll ponder
these basic reasons for their differ

Don't Rush
Child's
Growth
Let Him Develop
According to
His Ability
BY A ngeio PGtri

In all your dealings with children,
go gently. Never hurry, don't rush
and above all don't surprise them.
Surprise, sudden pouncing upon
them, shocks children and makes
coordination of mind and body
impossible and cooperation and
direction out of the question.
Children dislike new experiences.
They fear what is unfamiliar. Re-
nlembering that, do not spring
something new upon a child. Let
no experience take him unaware
if you can help it. Prepare the
way for it.
If you want to introduce new
experience, start gently and don't
insist upon its immediate adoption.
Be willing to wait. 1t may take
days or weeks to get the child TO
understand and accept the expert
ence. That is quite all right. He
will get there in time if you are
quiet and patient and willing to
wait.
1t is comforting to know that
children grow steadily toward in
telligent maturity according to their
own rate of speed. Sometimes we
are ahead of time in our teaching,
and when that is true he does not
respond and we have to wait for
him. Sometimes we are behind him,
and then he indicates that he is
ready to go ahead and we step
along with him. We need not worry
about the childs rate of progress
if we are ready to wait on him and
for him until his spirit moves
within him, which it surely will do
in its good time.
There is no need TO be anxious
because your Johnny does not read
while Mrs Neighbor's Johnny reads
nicely. What the other baby does
is no concern of yours. In good
time yours will read, dance. go to
parties, bring home his girl, marry
and do we'll just as though you
never said, Come, now, step along
It's time you were growing here"
Be content to let child grow
at his own rate of speed and ac-
cording to his abilities. Stand ready
to help at the first sign of need
but don't push. Go gently always
and give him time to become ac-
ouainted with new situations. You
will not only gain time; you will
gain affection and understanding
and much satisfaction. Nature is a
wonderful teacher for those who
can hear and follow her.

Dorothy Dix Says >>>
Today's Plain Little Housewife
Is the Greatest of All Women

their sins of omission and commits
sion: The woman thou gavest me,
She did it.
MY second dearly beloved heroine
is Scheherazade, who discovered the
one unfailing recipe for holding a
husband and keeping him eating
out of your hand.
1t Is to keep him guessing. To
keep him wondering what's COM
ing next To keep him interested
and amused, for no man ever
Wearies of the woman who always
has a good story on her lips and a
new trick up her sleeve to pull on
him. Scheherazade deserves to be
the patron saint of all wives.
But in reality, and all jeSting
aside. my favorite heroine and the
woman I honor above all other
women is plain little Mrs. Smith,
who lives just around the corner
and who is doing nothing more
spectacular than just making a
home and bringing up a family.
She is a frail little creature who
tolls beyond her strength every
day in cooking and washing and
sewing and patching and caring for
her husband and children and a
fretful old invalid mother.
I don't suppose she knows what
1t is not to be tired, but she never
sits down to rest. She never has
a nice dress, for all the money goes
to buy the children fancy sweaters
and coats and hats, such as the
other children have. Besides. she
is pinching and saving and scrap
ing to send Johnny off to college
and give Mamie music lessons.
When the holidays come and the
husband and children go off to pic
MICS and excursions, she works
twice as hard pressing dresses and
putting up lunches and getting
them off, but she stays at home to
take care of mother.
Mrs. Smith never complains. She
is always cheerful and thinks her
band and such fine children to
slave for. If you told her she was
a saint and martyr, she would
laugh and say that she only did her
duty. She doesn't even know that
it takes more courage to fight the
daily battle of life with adverse
circumstances than it does to lead
a charge on a battlefield
Mrs. Smith is just the ordinary
woman, but she is my heroine. And
hope she will be yours, girls.

them willy-nilly, and sons and
daughters have very little voice in
choosing their parents.
You might think that, since you
inherit your personality traits from
your parents you should be a lot
like them and therefore get along
well with them. But you may also
take after your fathers sister Susie,
whom your mother cordially disllkes:
or be the spittin' image of your
Uncle Mike, who gets along with
your dad like one tom cat with an
other. So inherited personality
traits may be an important factor
in family friction.
Second, living in very close quar-
ters with other human beings over
a long period of time is trying
experience. Perhaps you've already
discovered that you can get along
fine with some of your cherished
friends in your usual day-to-day
contacts, only to find yourself quar-
reling pettishly with them if you
are thrown together constantly on
a camping trip.
Family life certainly has virtues
and advantages of which no other
form of existence can boast. But
the fact remains that occasional
irritations are bound TO arise be-
tween human beings who are to-
gether day after day, morning, noon
and night-no matter how tOnd
they are Of each other.
Third, there is inevitably a con-
fiict in viewpoints between the TWO
different generations Of which you
and your parents are members.
People just naturally think differ
emily as they grow older. You can't
expect a man of 45 and a boy of II
to see things through the same eyes,
any more than you could expect a
first grader to have the same slant
on life as a college senior That
doesn't mean that one viewpoint is
right and the other is wrong; but
simply that they are different.
Fourth, the relationship of par
ents to sons and daughters is the
relationship of persons in authority
/ to other persons subject TO that
authority, and this situation almost
invariably leads TO a certain amount
of resentment and misunderStand-
ing.
/ Witness the eyer-preSent conflicts
between employers and employees;
/ the attitude of the Army private
toward the sergeant or the COM
missioned officer, or the pupil to-
ward the teacher, or the motorist
toward the traffic cop. When one
person holds any sort of control
over the destiny of another. the pos
sibilitv of trouble is always present
And finally, there is the fact that
young people in their teens are in
a transition period from childhood
to adulthood. period of rapid and
+ revolutionary development which
! involves a certain amount of emo
tional strain.
/ Yesterday you we're a child: to-
day you are a young adult. Your
parents encounter difficulty in ad-
justing themselves to the change
and so do you. You feel new de-
sire for independence, for control
over your own deStinies. You ex-
perience a new resentment against
discipline. an impatience with re-

season bluefiSh are being coy, and
are consequently somewhat high in
price. Good, fresh salmon is eX-
penSiye, but fresh cod, halibut and
red snapper are well within the reach
of the average budget. Fresh smelts
are nearing the end of their season
but there will be plenty of little pan
fish to take their place Crab meat
Is becoming more plentiful and
Cheaper-and at some specially
stores there are the first of the sea-
sons Soft-shell crabS-SO tiny that
it would take three to make good
mouthful after they are cooked.
Definitely in the dinner party price
bracket, too. But they are the fore
runners of the big fellows, and al
ways make good news to the epiCure!
Frogs legs are in season now, and
very popular. They are light and
delicate, and an interesting Combina-
ton of fish and flesh.
Poultry shows little change, as
usual, with ducks selling well, along
with small broilers and tender fryerS.
Produce news is not so good. Most
Items are scarce, and high in price.
Rains, freezes, winds, droughts and
what-notS have had a bad effect on
the produce picture as whole, and
retail markets are hard put to it
to find enough variety at reasonable
prices to satisfy their patrons. Broc-
coli has done a blackout again
whether some late shipments the
very end of the week will remedy this
condition is not yet clear. Cauli-
flower is not too good; peas are high,
though of nice quality, and string
beans have taken another Jump.
Greens seem to be the best bet, and
there are so many from which TO
choose that the cagey housewife
can serve several of them without
being accused of menu monotony.
Tender little pink and green poke
the larger markets, along with field
cresS, dandelion greens, turnip salad
and so on. Fruits are even drearier
than vegetableS-With the Louisiana
strawberries about the only item
worthwhile recording.
