Children Whole
Need Careful
Training
Checking the Habit
Depends on Nay
Act Is Handled
BY Leftice Lee Street,

BY Leftice Lee Street,
Recently one of our readers, Mrs.
w. H, wrote in distress because her
10-year-old boy lied to her about
the fact he was seen smoking. This
lady was more disturbed over her
child's deception than because he
smoked, as you can we'll imagine.
All of us who have children are
most likely to be faced with a sim
liar situation some day. When this
happens we sadly search ourselves,
asking, why should my child lie?
Where have I failed?" Perhaps
there is no more sickening feeling
than the fear ones dear little boy
or girl may grow up to be sly and
untruthful.
The first time that it is proven to
you that your child has lied please
do not go off the deep end" Re-
member that the manner in which
you handle this misbehavior at its
beginning will largely determine
your success in checking it.
Why do youngsters lie? You must
find the answer before you can hope
to cure this habit.
Here are some of the reasons:
l. Fear of punishment as conse-
quence of a misdemeanor, or fear OF
deprivation. Tommy, with powdered
sugar on his pug nose: "The wind
blew the cake off the table, Mumm1e,
and l gave the broken pieces to
Fido."
2. Protection from ridicule. A
very poorly dressed second-grader:
MY mother is the sister OF queen
and this old sweater belonged to the
queens little girl"
3. Lack of attention or misunder-
standing the question. Mother: Il
have told you not to play with the
bowls of flowers. You have knocked
over the vase of snapdragons, Little
boy, puzzled. But, Mummie, I
haven't even seen any snapdragons.
What do they look like? Do they
bite?"
4. Protecting another. - Father:
Did you or John break the window
of Mr.. Jones garage?" Answer. mo,
Dad, neither of us. John and l didn't
play near Mr.. Jones house today"
5. Keeping a secret-"But, Num-
mie, I had to say I was sick in bed
with scarlet fever because Mary was
here, and Mary told Sue she wasn't
coming over to my house"
6. Fear of disapproval-Betty: Il
am sorry I am late for Sunday
school, but my mother broke her
hack and I had to help lift her into
bed"
7. Copying adults. You can think
Of dozen examples! Children learn
more from what they see and hear
than from what we tell them.
8. A lively imagination.
The. very best way to treat lying
is first to discover why the child has
told a falsehood, and then to ex-
anime your manner of raising him
If he is afraid, give him moral
courage through praise and love, do
not punish or scold him unfairly
explain to him that lying makes a
bad situation worse and leads to
the necessity for more lies.
Most important, too, is the neces-
sity for parents and teachers to de-
tect falsehoods and to bring them
into the open at once. If youngster
gets away with lying he will think
IL is easy, and he will not learn that
it is wrong.

Then there's the matter OF color
Deep plum tones are probably the
high point of the season, but
choose them ever so carefully if you
don't want to look like an animated
Easter egg. The various manufac-
turers do try to coordinate clothes
and accessories, but there are bound
to be variations. Usually it's better
not to go in for such vivid shade
from "stem to stern" for it's al
most impossible to match every item
of your attire and the clash" when
you fail is terrific. Matter of fact,
It's a consoling thought to remem-
Der that fashionists are recommend
ing the use of several colors in your
costumes, providing an interchange
able effect that can save you many
heartbreak Watch your colors
carefully and be sure to picture the
ensemble as a whole before inyest-
ing in several colors, none of which
may go together It's no trouble at
all to go head over heels for that
fascinating little aquamarine-col-
ored beret, but it's the wise girl
who'll figure whether it goes with
the rest of her wardrobe-or how it
may be made to do so.
This season the leg-covering
problem is one of the most diff
cult. Right now while the temper
eture does double nip-ups it's Won
derful to paint your legs. When
that fashion dictator Jack Frost
comes around, however, 1t remains
to be seen what the ladies will do
Spartan souls insist that they're
going to go on painting their legs
right through the winter, maintain
ing that they won't be much colder
and that their underpinning will
tougher up" with exposure. Well,
we don't know. Apparently, shoe
manufacturers expect women to
start wearing the quite successful
rayon stockings now being shown.
At least, that's the impression they
convey by showing so much OPEN
toe, open-heel footwear which looks
very bad without stockings. Let's
just hope that the lady we saw on
the street the other afternoon won't
be too influential She wore toeless,
backless shoes with painted legs
and those little cotton feet arrange
ments which definitely are not de-
signed to be exposed to the public
gaze. Take it from us, the effect
was pretty dreadful.
Still another thing to handle with
care is the jewelry situation. It's
very easy to go hay-wire over all
the patriotic ornaments that are
being shown, but it isn't chic to be
top-heavy with insignia, nor is it
considered good taste Better con-
centrate on significant" iewelry
that means something special to
you-Such as that representing the
branch of service your best beau has
entered. Or, be more general with a
tiny American flag or a bejeweled
~. S. A." The girl who sports in
sigma of every branch of the armed
forces and who is complete with
pins, charms, Identification brace
lets and other ornamentation is not
the one who'll be found on the best
dressed list. In word, it's the
thing to show your loyalty with
smart and patriotic jewelry, but be
little moderate about the quantity
of such adornment.
Prepare to face fashion shortages.
more and more Of them as time goes
on, but don't get panicky about it.
Remember that we're an ingenious
Nation and that unavailable prod

placed with items just as good and
probably darned sight better.
