Nothing affords . child such an
opportunity for refusing the foods

Menus made out for the family
table should be designed for the
growing child rather than for the
more settled appetites Of the adults.
Plenty Of fruit and vegetables are
needed. We must be on the outlook
for the complexion troubles which
20 often q n d oy these sensitive
young folks. and foods must be
tasty and satisfying without being
too rich or highly favored.

can be supplied generously In fresh

Since colored linens and novelty

much favored, It's best to know the

because she's marrying the man Of

which everything Is not only fresh

Too-energetic brushing In the

Pretty lips usually accompany

Blind Fencers
Easily Defeat
Opponents
BY TALBOT LAKE

John HLX. who does the Strange
- as It Seems" cartoon. would be
interested in the blind fencers 1t
the New York Guild for the Jewish
Blind. For instance. We took . ra-
pier offered by q blind man. tried to
get past his guard and couldn't do
It. Completely sightless since his
NTH year, Anthony Oliver. now
Twenty-Five. can easily out-fence
most Of his sighted opponents.
It all comes because Alexander
Hern, fencing master. has con-
ceived Of q new type OF fencing.
Briefly. his fencers do not move
their whole arms in parry and
thrust, but keep them straight out
In an ION guard" position. All the
side and up and down movements
are executed with quick beats" Of
the wrist. So quick are they. that
they cannot be seen. Hence touch
must be used to and the adversary's
foil. Hern decided to blindfold his
pupils. then decided to take the
courageous step Of teaching the
blind to fence.
The team Of Patrick Conroy, ISL
dor Hirshberg. Anthony Oliver and
william Solomon. all blind, demon
strated their ability against sighted
fencers using the old French syS-
TENS. They amazed their rivals.
Oliver, . bright. quick, athletic
fellow. raves about the sport. THE

and grace. II he stumbles and Is

for 1t later in the season.
Put on your fashion spyglasses
and consider what has looked really
new in the last year. You will be
surprised at how the evidence piles
up in favor of the new silhouette:
smoother across the shoulders,
deeper in the armholes and gener-
ally easier and bulkier above the
waist-a lower look to the waist be-
cause of this added bulk through
