WE, THE WOMEN -- Chldren's War Questions Deserve Honest Answers

answtrs to the questions they ask about the war. In her words: "War will take Its death-toll of American families, and children will deepen and mature when they stand side by side with others who must face 1t, We shall be wiser if, in the or deal of today and tomorrow, we can return to something simpler than many of use have been used to. Tears arc not indecent, and grief need not be hidden away or dres- sed up off Q child so that 1t be- comes almost grotesquely unrec- ognizable.
 GIVE REAL SECURITY
 So this authority on child psy- chology advises parents to answer their children's questions hon. estly, instead of putting them off, or trying to give them false sense of security instead of the real security that comes from knowing they can count on the truth from the grown-ups with whom they live, and that they aren't beinb shut out of the grown-up world of reality.
 Now that l0-year-olds are be- ing drafted, parents may see the wisdom of Mrs, Wolf's advice. For if at 1s a boy is expected to fight for his country, at 8 he isn't too young to be told that in time of war men must leave their homes to go to war - even per- haps his own Daddy.

 Christmas greens will 90 right to Inc heads of the smertest girls Tor this years holiday parties. A sprig of mistletoe, or 0f holly, Will add to the galety of Any costume and hNirdo.
 If you want something really swish. take your sprlgs of green to vclir hairdresser and get hlln to work them into A coronet. or at least show you how to place them most fetchlngly. or you can put Q ilttle of your own time and thought into studying effects in your mirror,
 But If you are unaccuetomed to contriving such devices, better got yourself Q new and fiattering party hairfix, Again, go to the beauty salon, and the best one you can Af- ford, It's worth your money,
 The experts win apply, with an experienced hand and his own lns ventlve inspiration, principles which make 1t possible to enhance any fNce with the frame supplied by the coiffure,
 If you're blessed with A natural oval face, which most women have to strive to simulate by means ot their hairdos, your hairdreSser will emphasize that shape by following through with an oval-shape coif. He won't blur the lovely outline by Q f,,ssy hairdo, O too-low part, bangs, tips or a tightly-drawn design.
 Slicked- -back haid is not for round. faced girls either. Her hair should be soft and full, the fullness above the ears, the locks tapering down behind the jNwline; forehead clear, waves soft and large.
 The sharp angles of Q square face are muted by Q coif of marked side | flllnesS. Tho girl with an onlone face should have e soft, loose haif- do, with fullness concentrated near the chin, Never for her the high pompadour and center part, whicn add length to the face.
 Short haircuts can be varied to fiatter the individual just as longer tresses are. A boon to this technique Is the popular "extra hair" style,
 A cluster of curls on c comb, or a chignon or braid Is attached voer smoothly combed ends, They're very pretty and different-feeling for Q girl with a strictly practical every day hairdo--just the thing to achieve the holiday feeling even though you're wearing dress that was bought, or remodeled, on c war budget,
