When children are beginning to
feel their way about the world, just
starting to walk and talk, they are
likely to clutch anything that at
tracts them. They crush and tear
and break the belongings Of the
people about them. Wise folk re-
move breakables from their paths.

lessons on Don't touch" and No. -
will set the idea. After that it is a
matter of practice
This early teaching is important
for reasons other than those in
volved in property rights. If a
child grows up in the habit of taking
hold of whatever attracts him, doing
with 1t as he pleases, using it for
his own pleasure, regardless of its
owners rights or feelings. he will
get into serious difficulties because
he does not know the meaning of
his actions
Taking what does not belong to
one is called stealing. A more
polite term for it when it Is done by
children is pilfering. The idea be-
hind both terms is the same and the
reaction of society toward them is
exactly the same One of the Ten
Commandments is. Thou shalt not
steal" Children do not know and
cannot be expected to know. that
helping themselves to what they see
is related TO the sin of stealing. We
know, and we must see that the
children learn early to let things
alone.
Teach them to ask always, If they
may have the thing they want: to
ask politely of the owner if they
may use it. 1t is easy to teach a
3-year-old child to say, please may
I look at your book? Your specs?
Your old hat? Your box of shells?"
Once the child learns to do that he
is we'll on the road toward knowing
the difference between his belong
ings and those of other folk which
is a great moral fact.
Then teach him not to borrow.
Only in emergency is borrowing to
be allowed and the emergency must
be real. Going without is whole
some incentive to getting for oneself
what is needed, another wholesome
moral fact. What is borrowed must
be returned Immediately after use.
Immediately.
Mother and father. if need be,
should know about borrowed articles
and make certain they are returned
promptly. 1t would be a grave mis-

We want to keep the hair on our
heads and would like to have it re-
main colorful.
The best of authorities sincerely
believe that long before drab, life
less hair makes its appearance, un-
healthful hair conditions have pre-
vailed over period of time. They
even go so far as to say that gray
hair may be the result of a scalp
condition of long standing-a scalp
which was either too oily or too dry.
In either case the little oil glands
do not function properly.
II your hair is too oilv it requires
more frequent shampooing for scalp
health as well as for attractiveness
The oily scalp also needs the stim-
llation of massage and brushing just
as the dry scalp does.
There are several fine tonics which
are effective in correcting a too oily
condition. Most of these contain
some alcohol. There are others that
will conquer dandruff.
Some scaling of the scalp is nat
ural. particularly in the fall after
the hot summer months. However,
If this unpleasant state continues,
you may suspect that you have dam
druff and you should be serious
about ridding your hair of the
scourge
Each member of the family should
have his or her individual comb and
brush and these should be kept as
clean as the scalp itself.
The routine for beautiful hair in
cludes extreme cleanliness, an ade-
quate diet, exercise (massage and
brushing air and sunlight, and a
happy disposition. Nervousness can
have direct effect on the state Of
your crown.

Honestly, they're fitted like an eve

Wandering back to gowns, have a
look at the nylon ones trimmed with
Chantilly lace. if you want some
thing really glamorous. Also effec-
tive are the fitted midriff gowns,
once more bearing out the seasons
fashion trend. Charming in a more
demure sort of way are rayon print
gowns with matching quilted bed
jackets or gowns with full-length
robes to match. They're not ex-
pensive, so you can afford several
sets. and there's nothing more COM
forting than q snug bedjacket while
you finish that last chapter in
the book.
Silk ninon. which wears more or
less like iron, is used in some of
the rather expensive gowns, which
may be trimmed with handmade
cording or other "dressmaker de-
tails" And, of course, if you're
more concerned with warmth than
with glamour, look at the flannel
nightgowns-some of them with
long sleeves to keep you snug as a
bug in that same old rug.

ties OF tailored slips in black or

like the ''swishy" effect, and there
are still some beautifully made
Chinese slips with the delicate en-
broidery that's so lovely. Panties
may be the full, lace trimmed ones
that are beautiful in a gift box but
bit bulky under slim dress.

very tight fitting panties if they
don't like pantie glrdle, and they're
buying them in inexpensive rayon

charming and beautifully fitted are

And now, to get back to our black
out, here's a double-dandy way of
choosing partners for a game, for
dancing or just for refreshments
In fact, the gang may see so much
spirit in the pastime that they'll
continue playing it just for fun.
Herd all the boys out of the living
room. then make the girls get up,
move around until they are thor
oughly mixed up and then sit down
again. With the lights out. turn the
boys loose in the room to find part
ners, while the girls remain abso-
lutely quiet.
The moment boy tags a girl he
becomes her partner. and she grabs
him and takes him out of circulation
The other boys continue to mill
around until they find an unattached
girl, and often considerable time is
consumed before the last lonesome
male is grabbed.
But that. according to some people
who have PLAYED it. is what gives the
game its greatest charm.

it problem to arrange in the budg-
ct. However, there's nothing more
wonderful than a dresser drawer
piled high with new lingerie, COM
pletely intact. You won't need too
much if you're faithful about night
ly laundering, either. It's just too
demoralizing to have slip straps held
up with safety pins and gowns with
frayed seams. Don't do it!

Excellent
Reducing
Routine
Exercise Daily
To Eliminate
Hip Bulges
By Patricia Lindsay

There is only one formula to get
rid of hip bulges. That is to exer-
else down on the mat every day for
IS or 20 minutes and to watch how
many cslories you eat, No other
magic way exists to get rid of those
extra pounds you have allowed TO
accumulate.
From time to time in this column
I present excellent hip-reducing eX-
ercises. suggest YOU clip these
and keep them in a notebook TO
which you may refer when you get
disguised with your bulging curves
Here are two bargains for they do
double duty-they reduce the hips
and strengthen the abdomen.
Exercise /. Lie fiat on the floor
with arms stretched out at shoul-
der level and shoulders against the
floor. Keeping the left leg as
straight as possible, swing the right
leg (knee straight across the body
and try to touch the left hand with
the right foot. Shoulders must be
kept on the floor-the twist comes
in the waistline. Return the right
leg to position and then swing the
left leg across the body. This
should be done 25 times in rhythm
the first day and increased grad
ually up to so times day. Even
the very fat, lazy girls can practice
this one-snd it does reduce the
lower half of the body
Exercise 2. This one is Stren-
uous and it must be taken grad
ually. Lie fiat on the floor, arms
stretched out, shoulder level, legs
together. Draw your knees up close
to your stomach and then roll over
on your right hip, but hold your arms
and shoulders against the floor.
Then straighten out both legs with
out letting them touch the floor
and roll over on your back and
then on your left hip, bringing your
knees up to your stomach again.
You should feel a pull on your ab-
dominal muscles and clear up your
spine to the back of your neck if
you do it properly.
