When the chubby, year-old baby
thrusts aside his mothers hand with
an independent flourish and at
tempts to strike out alone, Stagger-
ing along on adorable, fat legs, or
pulls the milk cup from her hand,
he is showing her that the time OF
his babyhood dependence is drawing
to an end.
He is an intelligent, normal baby,
and it is proper for him to try to
fend for himself, to walk alone, to
try to dress and to feed himself.
AS he grows older he is developing
the following two character traits,
among many others-the keen wish
to help himself and the urge to
learn. largely aided by his ability
to initiate others.
When he sees his parents using
a knife, fork and spoon at the table,
he wants to use them, too. BY all
means allow him to handle his own
spoon as soon as he shows the desire
to do so.
You can guide his little hand at
first. and make sure he has only a
small amount of food on the spoon
But from then on let him struggle
alone to find his mouth! Suppose
he does miss it! What are bibS 1or
Apropos of bibs, the big rubber ones
come in pretty shades Of pink and
blue. They are great labor savers
as they mean less laundering.
You are a wise mother if you are
tolerant of your child's attempts to
do anything at all for himself. Even
if your patience is severely tried,
which it certainly will be as you
watch his fat little fingers tumble
with shoe laces. or when you feel
very cross as you wash spots OF spin
ach and mashed potatoes from your
wallpaper, just realize that your
good -humored self-control will help
to build a strong, independent char
acter for your beloved and obstreper-
Gus baby.
1t is much slower work to teach
him to do things for himself than
to just go ahead and do them. But
if you continue to help hun after
he should make his OWL efforts, you
may stop him from trying. The
next thing you know you may have
lazy, spoiled baby on your hands
If you will resign yourself to super
vising patiently his painfully slow
struggle to do things for himself
when he is 3 years old. you will be
rewarded by being able to boast OF
a child who Is tidy and capable OF
taking care of himself when he Is
older.
Encouragement instead OF scold-
ing should be the rule. Praise is

How to Please Your
Children's Friends
At a Party

During the school year many a
mother likes to entertain some of
her children's gang"
What would be more popular with
the group than a hamburger BAN
quet? And easy on the hostess too.
Make invitations in the shape of
hamburger with rough-cut edges,
and written in red dixie chilli sauce,
you know. And while your scis-
SorS are limbered up, make some
dancing hamburger cut-outs of
bright-colored paper to scatter over
the table top.
The table you might cover with
butchers paper and paste the hap
py little cut-outS over it. Even on
the paper napkins, and little ones
on the glasses. A bowl Of red
flowers and red candles stuck in
chilli or prepared mustard bottles
will certainly delight your young
guests, too.
For your menu, plan for ham
burgers served picnic style on paper
plates. A menu that's universally
liked by the young fry is: Ham,
burgers on toasted buns, creamed
potatoes, buttered green beans, a
cluster of carrot and celery curls,
a glass of milk, and for dessert, ice
cream and cake. This dessert can
be served hamburger style" too,
If you wish. Bake yellow cake In
large, paper cups (the kind meant
for baking, split, and fill the center
with chocolate ice cream.

Encourage independence
Wise Mother Will Guide Child
To Ultimate Self.Suficiency

the greatest spur we have toward
making our best effort.
The little child will grin with glee
and pride If his mother laudS his
attempts to feed himself. and, If
she says how neat he is, "just like
daddy, or, big sister or brother.
After all, he can't see the egg on his
own small nose. Praise will make
him sincerely try to eat tidily. But
If his mother shows her irritation
at his messy attempts he will surely
bang his spoon against his dish with
gusto, and make the food fly every
which way on purpose. because she
annoys him with her unjust scold-
ing, and he subconsciously feels:
What is the use of trying? I shall
only be spoken to Grossly"
The wise mother gives her chill
dren freedom, she encourages their
independence. AS result she has
children who are happy and pleased
that they can take care of them
selves. She knows that she has been
a true mother if she can equip her
children to stand on their own feet
in difficult world.

RefashiOning
Exercises
Are Fun.
Not Necessary to
Follow Specific
Figure Routine
By Patricia Lindsay

Don't sit and groan about your
| figure condition or wish you had
money enough to have it refashioned
by massage. Simply resolve to have
fun each day as you exercise so you
will not mind spending from IS
minutes to a half hour limbering
and remodeling.
You do not need to have a spe-
cific program even. Once you have
limbered your body so it doesn' feel
| as If it would break in two when
you pick up something from the
floor, you can pretty well add almost
| any movement to your routine and
benefit by it. Movement is life: suf
ficient body. movement will bring
beauty to it.
A group of women wrote me that
they have formed a "Tea-Time Ex-
ercise Glass;" and are having great
fun. Instead of meeting for bridge,
or gossip, or eating between-meal
snacks, these neighbors meet to ex-
ercise. They push the furniture in
corners and go to it" with the aid
Of radio music, and they write they
are feeling fine and their figures
are improving. The interesting part
is, each Of them has a specific fig
ure flaw, but they have discovered
TO their surprise that the same ex-
erciSes are helping all of them. It
is good idea for other groups of
women.
Time. and again have told
women through this column that it
is the stretching that counts in ex-
ercising. If you stretch your muscles
and keep them elastic you will have
little difficulty in standing and walk
ing and dancing in correct posture.
If you hold yourself in good posture
your figure will benef1t-it will grow
prettier and the flesh will distribute
itself normally. If you stretch
through exercising faithfully and
watch your diet, excess pounds will
gradually disappear. What weight
remains should be firm and pleasing
in contour.
Instead of sitting down reading a
book today and munching on sweets,
use the book to exercise and have
little fun.
Place it between your feet after
your legs have been stretched out
on the floor.
Hold the book in position without
bending your knees the slightest.
That calls for good stretching and
to make 1t the first time you should
sit erectly, grow tall from the waist,
raise your arms overhead and swing
them forward to touch the book. Do
this several times.
Your next exercise Is a bit more
difficult, and take it easy at first.
Hold the book between your feet
without the aid of your hands and
carry it up in the air and over in
! a semi-somersault.
Once you master this last one with
ease you are well on the road to
figure agility and beauty.
Benefits of exercises: Your spine
and neck muscles are stretched, your
abdomen is trained in and up, your
bust muscles are firmed, your thigh
and hip measurements are stream
lined a bit every time you make
