WOMAN,S REALM
GIoriting Yourself

"What in the world will the new teacher think of your hands?" Ask ing that and similar questions will get mother exactly nowhere toward inspiring the small fry to do some thing about their appearance before going back to school.
 About the best thing she can do without mentioning school at all -is to try to get the children to follow her own example. Which is, during late August, to begin think ing in terms of fall clothes and fall activities rather than of summer ones.
 FINESSE WILL
 DO THE TRICK
 She can, for instance, let small Mary help choose new back-to- school clothes.
 And the shopping trip should be accompanied by such remarks as "Yes, dear, that red is lovely. It will be even more becoming to you when your hair is shiny, and of course your hair will get shiny quickly once you start brushing it regularly again"
 Or, "Well, let's get the blue one today. Then we can come back for the beige later on when your hands look better" Or T don't think you had better wear these new school socks until school real- ly starts and you have stopped climbing trees all day long, tear ing your socks and scratching your legs"
 MOTHER SHOULD
 SET THE EXAMPLE
 Furthermore, while busily recon- ditioning her own scalp and hair in preparation for 8 new fall per- manent wave, mother can give the children's hair few pickup treat ments. Warm olive oil should be massaged into their hair the night before shampoo day" And no child will obect to this if mother uses warm olive oil on her own hair at the same time.
 All of which sounds easy, but probably isn't, I know. Just the same, children like to mimic grown ups. So if mother sets a good ex- ample, why won't her children be more pliable in matters of grooming for school days?

INTELLIGENCE MAKES NO
 DIFFERENCE

INTELLIGENCE MAKES NO
 DIFFERENCE
 We diabetics have to make a liv- ing, writes a reader, and ours is a more expensive living than normal because we have to buy insulin and have specially prepared food. I feel you are unfair to say diabetics should not be permitted to drive. Any diabetic should be able to foresee insulin shock in plenty of time to stop driving, if he is of ordinary intelligence. I have had several such reactions, but have never been taken without warning. (JKM)
 In the last three instances of which know, where traffic acci- dents were due to the drivers in- sulin shock, with disastrous conse- quences for innocent people, the drivers were above the average in- telligence and they were aware that they were getting reaction, but in each instance the driver thought he could hold out 8 few minutes until he reached a place where he could get some sugar or other food to prevent or relieve the attack or 8 place where he could get out of traffic until the spell was over.
 The readers contention that any one of ordinary intelligence should abe able to recognize that he must not drive when such reaction or shock impends - but even the best judgment 'may be so seriously tm- paired at that stage of the reaction that the individual is not capable of deciding, and in that instant the accident occurs.
 I do not mean to imply that there is any connection between di- abetes and alcoholism, but this arg ument, offered by many diabetic drivers, that an intelligent person should be able to recognize the im- pending shock and stop driving, is similar to the familiar boast of the slightly intoxicated in- dividual that he Is entirely compe- tent to drive or do anything else as well or little peter than the next fellow. The intoxicated individually really believes what he says, be- cause his higher consciousness is just sufficiently inhibited or be- numbed by alcohol to prevent him from seeing the matter as clearly as g normal person does.
 There is no question that hypog- lycemia (sugar in blood reduced be- low normal level) can and does cause extraordinary behavior in some persons, proving that 8 wee bit too much insulin, or too little food, or both, may make @ rational person irrational.
 Diabetics and their physicians do well to remember, too, that vitamin B has an insulin- like effect on. car- bohydrate metabolism, and may be a factor in some instances of other wise inexplicable insulin shock. A great many diabetics have found that by supplementing their diet with optimal daily rations of vita min B. complex they can get along with less insulin.

that he has all his luxurious possessions but

salary but for all the good il does him might
as we'll be one Of his own lowliest employees.
He has a valet who won't dress him, a
home he can't tive In, clothes he can't wear,
and he rides to work on a bicycle in the wake
of his expensive limousine.
That's how II is with Jessie, only in her
case II isn't a dream It's everyday waking
life
Though she is one of the wealthiest
actresses i'm the world-with millions in the
bank. two beautiful residences in the English
countryside automobiles servants and clothes
galore she is at the moment living in single

does her own cooking, washing and ironing.
And she is frequently forced to borrow dresses

but Jessie isn't Of them. The lush rewards

them right now, if she wanted to.
But she doesn't want to be enjoying them
Unlike the Welsh rabbit-eating millionaire
who would like nothing better than to wake
up from his nightmare, Jessie has gone into
hers with her eyes open and is determined
to stay there until the bugles sound taps
for this
It's her way of doing her bit to help beat

Her present visit to the United States
which is looked the land of Canaan by
foreign actresses, is her first 1t would have
seemed like the land of Canaan to Jessie, too
probably, if she had needed the prayers of
Broadway and Hollywood producers and come
over here a couple of years ago. But she was
doing all right in England at the time and saw
no reason TO take on any more work
Then last April, she received an offer
from George Hale. the American impresario,
who had a new musical comedy called Lady
Comes Across" Would she please, please
come across to star in it?
So finally for a special reason Of her own,
Jessie decided to accept. and the result was
that, instead of the Ritz-eye view of this
country she could have had for the asking in
the past, she is today getting a kind of
boarding-hou view.
Her determination to be poor little rich
girl began to take shape the day she visited
the British Ministry for Foreign Affairs, with
Hale's cable in hand.
AS she knew, the Government had earlier
issued an edict that no British artist or enter
tainer could leave the country for gainful
employment i'm other lands without special
permission The reasons for the decree were
plentiful most important being that all enter
tainers were very much needed at home to
keep up public spirit and morale, as Jessie
