Manners
of the
Moment

There are some people who can't
seem to bear seeing any new books
on your living room table: they want
them to be on their living room
tables. And when they say. "Oh,
Id love to borrow that when you
have read it," it puts you on the
spot.
If you have just gotten the book,
you can stall by saying that YOU
haven't read it yet yourself, but if
the book is still on the table the
third time they come to see you. it S
hard to get away with that
There are two alternatives left:
You can say you don't believe in
loaning books which won't sound
very gracious. or you can tell the
truth and explain that you like TO
have a few new books around for
their decorative effect The latter
course is the more truthful. If you
have bought a book or received one
for a present, you ought TO have
the right to have it around where
you can pick it up to read when you
want to. or just to show people that
you keep up with the times. and
know what is going on, literarily
speaking.
Another way to treat your pred
atory friends is to tell them that you
are putting bookplateS in all your
books and you'll let them borrow

If all these methods fail. hide
your books in the cellar and display

AnAggressive
Child Needs
Praise
She Will Subside
Easily if Given
Recognition
Bv A Anaeio Patri

Nobody seem to like Lillian. She
was a thin, quick child, seeing ana
hearing all that went on about her
and using whatever came her way TO
make other people uncomfortable.
Her mother was beside herself be-
cause of the trouble she made with
the neighborS, but there seemed to
be nothing she could do about it.
Lillian heard what she was not in
tended to hear. Mother perhaps,
spoke indiScreetly about neighbor.
At the first opportunity Lillian told
the neighbor, with malice in her
words and actions. exactly what her
mother thought about her, and she
was not above embelliShing the
naked truth with her own opinions.
Lillian's father seemed to dislike
her. He pounced on her every
fault, so he pounced often and his
little daughter held her own in
sharp argument, often quoting his
own or her mothers words in de-
fense of that argument. The house.
hold was in a state of turmoil, the
neighborhood unit in their dislike
of the child, the school troubled
and anxious. Lillian was a thorn
in-the-f1eSh
Things got to such point that
the child was taken to the specialist
to determine her mental condition.
quite normal" said the physician.
Tell me who is picking on her,
making her feel injured and abused
and a sort of underdog, and I'll tell
you how to cure her"
Nobody knew, of course. Every
body thought himself justified. that
Lillian was at fault always. There
was the record to prove it. Nobody
was doing anything to her when
she did this and that and the other.
But the physician stuck to his point
and by and by, in his patient search,
talked things over with father. The
outcome of that talk was that father
agreed to make it his duty to say
one word of praise to his daughter
every day. Even if he could only
say a good word for the color of her
hair, he was to do that.
Before long people had forgotten
that this had been an unpleasant
aggressive, bold child who delighted
in making trouble between neighbors
and friends. Her father began to
like her and found his task of daily
praise agreeable and her mother
rested from her grief. Lillian was
now just the usual child, giving a
normal child's share of trouble and
no more.
When child is aggressive, enter
ing the fields of adult interest and
doing his best to make himself felt
there, search his environment for
the cause of his desire to feel i'm
portant and grownup. Usually you
will find it.

Young Boys and Girls Should
Not Hasten Into Marriage

And, above all. you will know
whether you still want each other
or not.
Perhaps you will Perhaps you
won't. But if you find you have
lost your allure for each other,
how much better to have found it
out before marriage than after
ward. And if your love is not
strong enough to stand four
years test. how could it endure
the strain of marriage?
At any rate, whatever you do,
never marry secretly. 1t always
leaves a smear upon the girl who
does it, for a sophisticated world
never believes in the validity of a
belated wedding certificate. Unless
a man is willing to marry you openly
before the world, do not marry him
at all.
Perhaps il you are a wizard of a
manager you can live on $40 a
week and be happy on a diet of
bread and cheese and crackers, but
there will be no margin for extras
in it and no chance to save up
anything against a rainy day. And
no one is sure against that.
Suppose you have sickness. Sup
pose a baby comes. Suppose your
sweetheart's mother loses her job.
Suppose even your boy friend
should lose his job after marriage
What then? Can't you see what
miSeries you would be called upon
to bear, what anxieties to suffer,
and how you both would wish that
you had waited to marry until you

troduced in a slacks suit by Gwen
Wakeling.
Novelties that make news were
found in the Mr.. and Mrs" fashions
in which men and women dressed
alike. Possibilities in this field in
cluded everything from brown gab-
ardine slacks and doeskin jackets
to a midnight blue dinner suit for
the lady and matching tails for
her escort.
Bright color for day and evening
looks important, with a new blue
green attracting much attention.
Gray-and-white in play togs was
an unusual combination, while the
revival of fuchsia and of lime and
chartreuse is expected to add drama
to evening clothes.
The point we're trying to make
in this comparison of the California
and New York Fashion Futures is
that the similarity of silhouette and
detailing is, to us, a mighty welcome
discovery. The 70 West Coast de-
SignerS participating have shown
great originality, marvellous crafts
manShip and a great love of dra-
matte clothes-in a section that's
known as sportswear center of the
world. We're so pleased that the
influences, basically, are much the
same, for this, We think, is the
only way, through combined effort,
that this country will be able to
set the styles, establishing at the
beginning of each season definite
trends and outstanding motifs which
may be seized upon by fashion
writer's, designers and others in the
world of style. The clothes shown
at this highly successful display
left no doubt as to the creativenesS
of California designers whose color
full truly beautiful presentations
made a spectacular show. We're
just plain delighted that the two
major fashion centers are seeing
eye to eye on things; that is, on
the basic things which may be
greatly varied by the distinctive
touch of each group of designers.

selectees are confined to the post for
the first few weeks. Usually you're
tired enough to go to bed by 10.
Lights in the barracks go out at 9.
The work week ends at noon Satur-
day, except for special detail men,
such as K. P.s.
Here are some tips which you
might pass on to your dratt-age
readers. They will be told to bring
enough clothing for three days but
that phrase hardly covers the sltua-
ton, for there are many things that
selectee will need and will be
forced to buy later on.
The first thing he should have
with him is reasonable amount OF
money. He won't get paid for a
month. and although canteen
checks, movie books and other forms
of credit are extended to him, he Il
find it hard to make ends meet on
that basis alone
Second in Importance is material
for letter writing. Stamps and post
cards are often at a premium. and
a good supply Cat least enough TO
last until your permanent station
is reached is almost a necessity
And, of course, pen and bottle OF
ink are needed.
Toilet articles come next. New
soldiers are issued kit containing
toothbrush, razor. five blades and a
shaving brush. They must furnish
their own shaving cream. soap, To-
tions, shampoos, hair tonic, etc. It's
a good idea to have a leather toilet
kit to carry these articles in. for
the washrooms are often detached
from the barracks proper.
Shoes must be kept polished in
the Army, so it's well to have on
hand several items for their care
A kit containing polish, dauber and
brush comes first Saddle soap
which can be procured at most drug
stores, is highly recommended by
most Army men as leather condi-
toner A small sponge is invaluable
in getting dirt off the shoes.
Towels are issued with other
equipment. but several days may
pass before the Selectee gets his
equipment, so it's best to bring a
towel or two with you. Minor medi-
cants. such as iodine, aspirin. cold
remedies, etc, may also come in
handy.
Soldiers may wear civilian clothes
when not on duty, and they should
bring such clothing along-accord-
ing to taste. But wear it. for extra
clothing is just bother.
The food in camp is good, but
plain. Recreational facilities in
clude movies. gymnasium. library

AnsWer-One of the most pitiful
things in the world. Anna. is that
so many marriages that would have
been gloriously happy are heart
breaking failures because the boy
and girl lacked the courage and the
wisdom to wait until they were
prepared to marry. For it takes
lot of things beside love to make
marriage a success. 1t takes enough
age for a couple to know what
qualities they are going to want in
their mates and to be sure that
their own characters and tastes are
formed. 1t takes enough money to
live in decent comfort and not be
harassed by wondering where the
next meal is coming from. 1t takes
adults and not children to meet the
problems of marriage.
No girl and boy have these, and
for children in their teens to marry
is like assuming the burdens that
strong men and women can bear
with ease but that crush babes
when put upon them. Don't try
this hazardous experiment.
You and your sweetheart both
want a college education. Put off
your marriage until you are through
school, BY the end of that time
you will know many things you do
not know now. You will have met
many different people. You will
have changed your point of view
on a thousand different subjects.
