them to make sacrifices Tor their
children when necessary. But one
must know where to draw the line.
Self-denial, when 1t is a question
of something which the child could
do without just as easily, not only
is silly but even may be sign OF
selfishness on parents part. When
mother readily gives up getting a
new hat or dad a pair Of shoes so
that Alice may have another new
dress that she simply has set her
heart on, 1t may be that they like
giving things to Alice. Indeed, the
pleasure which they derive there
from may far outweigh any incon-
venience to themselves through
doing without.
Alice's requests for clothes, par
ties, money for shows, so far. have
been one thing. But recently. when
she asked to have her room done
over (she wanted papered walls and
new draperies). the answer had to
be no. The parents patiently ex-
planned that the expense involved
was more than the family pocket
book could stand. To all this, she
replied, why don't you borrow the
money!" and then t u b born y
maintained her stand. The parents
were shocked by her extreme self
ishness. Her indifference to their
financial problem greatly puzzled
them. It needn't have.
Every child should be brought up
with an understanding of the fam
lily income. He should know what
the household expenses are, and the
extent to which he is entitled to
participate in the family's total al
lotment for clothes. entertainment
and personal expenses. Such train
ing removes the danger OF girls be-
coming selfish or unduly clothes
minded. or boys demanding more
than their share for good times.

Two Colors Are
Smart Style
In Nighties
BY ELEANOR GUM

NEW YORK-It depends on Just
~ how style conscious you are
whether or not your nighties have
to be cut in the latest silhouette
and made of the latest shades. The
very newest idea in so-to-bed
clothes is the nightie. the top Of
which is of one color. or shade, and
the lower section OF another. Nice
idea, Ell what? The idea works out
beautifully when two harmonizing
shades Of the one color are COM
bined.
II you like your night clothes ex-
otto, you are at liberty to use high
colors, or black with color. but II
you are the conservative girl who
thinks Of such garments In terms OF
pink and blue and white. with q
dash of lavender or q tint Of yellow
for variety. there are plenty gowns
to be had in these boudoir shades,
both plain and in delicate prints.
It took quite some time to popu-
larize lowered indies. but now that
they are accepted think 1t will
take equally long to get them out OF
our systems. True. there are more
pure white undies sold than for
some time, but now they are poor
second to colors.
Women like to flirt with the COL
ored petticoat or slip idea. They
approve a dramatic glimpse Of color
under a skirt, visible only when one
crosses ones knees or when skating
and dancing. Bright red taffeta
with accordian pleated ruffles, sell
like the proverbial hot cakes these
days. They are Just the right touch
provocative is the word - under
black or navy, or for that matter
under gray. Plaids and stripes are
also good and come summer you'll
see a growing popularity OF flow
cred taffetas.
Now is a grand time to snatch ur
a bargain In quilted robes. They are
to be had in satins. silks, rayon'
and cottons In quaint calico designs
in the latter and Dolly Warden de.
signs in the former. Zippers are fas'
disappearing, but are being re-
placed by wrap-arounds with sash
arrangements.
Will the increasing demand fol
Stacks bring about q corresponding
demand for pajamas for sleepini
and lounging? Possibly. though ONT
doesn't see much time now To-
lounging.

Glasses Don't
Harm Look S
BY PERC WESTMORE

HOLLYWOOD. Calf. - Proof
that eyeglasses are no longer a
glamour detractor lies In the fact
that many Of our most famous stars
wear them in public and remain
famous stars.
Others. like Bette Davis, Joan
Bennett, RoSalind Russell and
Nancy Coleman, relax their eyes
with good reading glasses.
Lenses are obtainable In q num-
Der Of flattering shapes; and pake-
UP has advanced to such an extent
that q girl can center attention on
any part Of the face she wishes.
No girl should select spectacles
which leave any sort Of mark over
the nose. and glasses are less OBJ
vious II rimless. although many like
trimmed glasses with their sports
clothes to create the fashionable
harmony that Is so important now.
The lens should never follow the
line of the eyebrow. The flattering
lens extends beyond or below this
expressive feature.
II there are many dark circles
under the eye due to eye-strain. a
little shadow on the lids helps to
counteract them.
A definite taboo Is any sort Of
eye makeup which Is likely to come
off on the glass. but most optics
are lovelier II lashes and brows are
slightly darkened. Because lenses
break off brittle lashes. II is impor-
tant to oil the laShes every night
with castor oil or vaSeline.
And don't forget that beautiful
