Of the
Moment

Some men are always showing the
pictures of their baby around the
office to the boredom Of the stenog-
raphers who feel that they must be
nice about it all They become
terribly tired Of saying, isn't he q
darling?"
One way out Of it is to offer the
guy quarter. every time he starts
reaching for his vest pocket, for not
showing you the picture. The
trouble with this is that it can be
expensive. I know one father who
caught on very quickly, and collects
from the entire Office force every
time baby needs a new pair of shoes.
All he+has to say is, Who'll pay me
for not showing off the baby's newest
picture?" He claims he charges the
boss a dollar. He also claims that
he is fast getting rich.
I don't know. He may be en-
broidering a bit. Personally, think
I probably would say, isn't he a
darling?" once more and let it go
at that. But the pay-of theory is
worth trying out.
Let me know how it works, won't
you? JEAN.

Woman Considers
Being Beautiful
Patriotic Duty
By Patricia Lindsay

v
Today I am going to let you read
letter which should inspire every
mother who has a son in active
service, or for that matter it should
inspire any woman who has man
serving his country.
Dear Miss Lindsay" 1t reads,
"I am a woman in my early sos,
certainly old enough to be a grand
mother. But four of my five sons
are in active service and my young
est will soon be in training.
"Of course, like most soldiers
mothers, fill the hours apart from
home duties in service work. In
the rush of my daily schedule
and outside calls for help, it is
indeed very easy to slip into a
haphaZard way of grooming.
know I have been careless at times
when trying to cram too much in
to the working hours.

sallow complexion, gray eyes

please advise me about COM
pleXion care for rather dry skin,
also hand care. I want my soldier
sons to be proud of their mother

home or when I visit them, and
I realize the best time to begin

ly advise me how to keep as beau
tiful as possible? - An American
Mother"
If every soldiers mother had
the spirit shown in that letter we,
as nation, would have little to
fear from any aggressor. She has
given four sons to this country.
runs her home and in odd hours
serves her country directly. Be-
sides her full program as a patri-
otic woman, she is concerned about
her personal grooming and beau
ty-and mind you, not because she
is vain, but because she wants to
be credit to five grand LADS!
How nice for those soldier boys
to greet their charming mother at
camp and proudly show her around
the place and introduce her to
their buddies. This is my moth
er. Isn't she a pippin?" I can
hear them say. for this mother will
always do credit to her family!
Naturally I wrote her in detail,
happy to give what advice I could
and I know that advice will be
followed to the letter, for the
woman who keeps her mind alert,
her body working, and her inter-
ests current will do everything in
her power to keep beautiful. She
knows that pleasing personal
appearance pays high dividends.
She has learned not to sacrifice
her femininity nor to be indiffer-
ent. She enjoys being a woman
| and she desires to be an attrac-
| tive woman. III bet she is one of
the most popular mothers who
visit our camps and I'll also bet
! that those five sons have received
inspiration from her all their lives
What a joy a beauty editors job
would be if all middle-aged women
had the earnestness and interest
revealed between the lines of this
mothers letter. It's Joy to help
any women who truly desires to

knowledge Is power, says the wise

When a child is sent to school he
should find there not only the facts
in the books, but the opportunity
to apply the essential facts to prac-
tical use. Most of the schools are
content to set the children on
benches, put teacher over them to
keep them there, in silence, mac
tivity and deadly do-nothingness.

great strain on the school ma

We content ourselves with honor
marks and diplomas and let the
usefulness of our education shift for
itself. And it does. Witness the
idle youth, the boys and girls that
are headed nowhere, have nothing
to think about and consequently
nothing to do
The private schools attract pupils
by furnishing shops and Laboratories
and opportunities for the active life
which children must have to know
with understanding the facts they
absorb, but the public schools still
sit in stodgy inanity, turning out
fact-bound children who are unable
to fit into an active world.
Every child, however dull he may
seem, has within him something
with which to make his way toward
usefulness. Every child, however
bright, has in him the drive to dc
something that will enable him to
