This business of -combing in
public is becoming worse and worse.
1t is bad enough when the girls
with the sleek long locks get out
their combs in the theater and start
combing away as though they were
preparing for bed. Some people
simply don't enjoy watching the
process. Sometimes they will even
get mad and call a strange girl
down right out in public. I heard a
man do that the other night.
But it's even worse with these
shorter hair-cuts. The hairs seem
to have more Of a spring and a
bounce to them, and they pop out
at the fellow sitting behind. Be-
fore he knows it his suit is covered
With little curly hairs and he is
splitting them out of his mouth. If
he doesn't complain in loud tone
OF voice, his disposition is angelic.
Just what can be done about 1t,
I'm not quite sure. Withering looks
don't always work I think the best
way Is to be straightforward and
outspoken. If you are annoyed by
a public hair -comber. speak up. Tell
her you can't afford to have hairs all
over your suit. Your wife won't like
1t. And tell her with q growl. It
may scare her. If you want to get
up and move away, or scorch her
with \ look, that's all right, too.
But you'd better explain as you do
1t. Some girls don't even know that
combing hair In public is annoying
to others. They think it's just. like
stopping to take drink ut the
drinking fountain. They have to
be told. JEAN,

The usual pictorial story of Amer
lea and its way of life is again
represented in lovely cards featur-
ing varied scenes such as snow
covered landscapes. Christmas ac-
tivity IN the rural manner. the gay
decorations of the big city, cheer
ful home with old friends being
warmly greeted, and the peaceful,
friendly scene of the family and pets
gathered around the glowing fire.
place.
With freedom OF worship prac-
tically abolished in the lands under
enemy control, the American people,
approaching their freedom, will turn
with greater interest to the cards
featuring the timeless story of the
Nativity and other sacred themes.
Those depicting churches, missions
and great cathedrals symbolic of our
religious freedom lend a spiritual as
we'll as decorative note to a wide
selection of cards.
For mother, dad. wife, husband,
sweetheart and other members of
the immediate family, there are ex-
ceptionally lovely speciality de-
signs" Some boast inserts of soft
materials such as velvet and chiffon,
while others are studded with bril-
liants to give the card different
appearance. These cards have very
lovely verses expressing affection,
and. Of course, wishing the recipient
merry Christmas and happy New
Year.
AS it has always been considered
smart to select one or two sets of
cards and have ones name printed
or engraved on them, the same
popular custom undoubtedly will pre-
vail again this year. However, keep
IN mind that undoubtedly there is
& particular card that would fit each
acquaintance and offer more per-
sonal touch. You'll find it fascinat-
ing to make careful selection,
choosing appropriate greetings for
each name on your list.
Christmas cards were put on dis
play earlier this year in order to
cooperate with the Post ONCE De-
partment and help to avoid the ter
rible rush and confusion that would
take place if every one waited until
the last minute to send them. The
public is requested to mail earlier
than usual to relieve the strain al

ton system by the demands Of war

joyed. He expected to turn over
most of his earnings to his wife,
but he never even suspicioned that
she would take charge of his ward
robe and his stomach and his taste
But she did. She felt she owned
him and that his time, his thoughts,
even his eyes, belonged to her, and
that he had no right to look at
another woman. or to spend a
minute doing anything she didn't
want to do. And when he got tired
of being chattel he was apt to
fade out of the picture. 1t is a
matter of record that no wives lose
their husbands so often as the pos
sessive ones.
But the possessive woman gets in
her fatal work on her children over
whom at birth she establishes a
monopoly on which she lets nobody
infringe, not even their father.
From their infancy on she teaches
them that she is the fountain from
which all blessings flow; that she
is the source of all wisdom and her
word is the law that must guide
their lives.
She crushes out ruthlessly every
symptom of initiative in them and
every desire for freedom. She never

must always hold on to mothers S
hand and be guided by her. She
never allows them to have friends
or acquaintances, or play with other
children if she can help it. She
keeps them in perpetual babyhood
even after they have grown to man S
and woman's estate.
The inevitable result is disaster
for the children, for she sends into
the world weaklings who are unfit
to fight the battle of life. They
are foredoomed failures in whatever
they undertake because Mama
isn't there to tell them what to do.
They can't take marriage and they
fill the divorce courts with their
complaints because their husbands
and wives didn't pamper them as
mother did.
They make up that pitiful army
Of men and women of talent and
ability who never get anywhere be-

mas greetings. Many of them are
reproductions of paintings by out
standing artists who are now serv-
ing with our forces and who are re-
cording history in the making. These
men have highlighted the things for
which we are fighting, and by so
doing have made a great contribu-
ton to both military and civilian
morale.
This year the greeting card field
has been greatly broadened to in
clude practically every angle of mil
itary life. For instance, scenes of
service life from reveille to taps are
covered in complete detail. Many of
these scenes feature the lighter
moments" while others adopt more
serious aspect. Then too, each
branch of the service is represented
in some way. Santa Claus flying a
huge bomber, a destroyer slipping
through the sea, parachutists max
ing landings are sample of what
can be found among the enormous
selection.

An army may travel best on its
stomach but a woman travels best
without one-well not really-but a
slim torso and fiat stomach can
make all the difference between a
matronly figure and one which re-
tains its youthful appearance all
through the years.
While a thick waistline and a pro-
truding stomach are two separate
figure disabilities, yet, the protrud-
ing stomach affects the waistline be-
cause the extra flesh is pushed up by
the girdle. thus swelling the roll
over the top of 1t.
Speaking of this figure fault, here
we are again in the midst of style
era which dictates straight, up-and-
down lines. In these a woman with
too much tummy looks somewhat
like an ostrich that has just swal-
lowed a lemon.
You may diet and diet without
exercise and while the measure
ments will shrink with a loss Of
weight the figure remains out Of
proportion. daubed with miniature
bulges. You must exercise in order
to redistribute your weight.
Here is another abdominal exer-
else designed to flatten the stomach.

in front of you. Raise the legs
tknees straight and the head and
the arms off the floor as far as
you can. While in this arched po-
sition, rock backward and forward.
Return arms. head, and legs to the
floor. Rest and repeat.
Many women will take up a physi-
cal fitness course because of the war
stimulus. They will learn to walk
again. They are learning how to
eat for health. 1t is my belief that
they will feel so much more vital
and become so much lovelier that
they will never again return to their
former less hygienic habits but will
continue with their more Spartan
routine after we have won the war.

crushed the joy OF life out of her
unfortunate husband and children.
On the contrary, she regards herself
as a model wife and mother and
boasts that she devotes every par
ticle of her time and attention to
her family, and that she never leaves
her husband even for a single day,
or lets her children out of her sight.
She is not, she thanks God, one
Of those slack women who let their
husbands go on fishing trips with a
lot OF other men, or attend stag ban
quets. and take a woman friend out
to lunch occasionally, and who re-
tire and actually go to sleep at night
when their daughters are out to
parties, instead OF sitting up and
waiting for them to come home.
She believes that when a woman
marries a man she gets quitclaim

to her just as much as though he
were slave she had bought in the

are just little humps of clay she has
a right to fashion into any shape

1t is doubtful whether any pos
sessive woman ever thinks of her
self as anything but the Guardian
Angel of her family, yet no other
woman in the world is responsible
for so many wrecked homes, so
many divorces. so many frustrated
ambitions. so many of the human
derelicts who are never able to cope

nine times out of a hundred the true
answer would be that he wants a

ness until he is choking. He has
come up for little air., He has
stood being treated like a half-wit
little boy as long as he can endure
it and he is making a break for
liberty, no matter what it costs.

Real Job Gives True
Understanding of
Responsibility
Rp Anqelo Patri
By A neelo Patri

The war demands work from civil
ians. Every able-bodied man and
woman has to serve to the best of his
and her ability If we are to win this
war. This means mothers as we'll as
fathers.
Because the family must be main-
tanned in the best possible way for
the children's sake the mothers sell
dom can give more than few hours
daily, and that not every day, to
such work. The Red Cross, the
bundles, the canteen service, first
aid-all these essential services are
dependent upon the part-time work
of mothers.
The experience will broaden and
enrich the lives of the women en-
gagged in war work and give the
older children chance to take over
responsibility for worthwhile work.
These children can take care of
their younger brothers and sisters:
they can prepare the vegetables and
make the dessert, set the table, and
cook the evening meal. Having
things ready for father and mother
when they return from the days
work is a source of great pride for
these young folk.
Don't expect too much from them.
Train them by degrees to take over
such responsibilities. Praise them
for what they do we'll and point
out what they could improve upon.
Plan simple meals. simple desserts
and keep the housekeeping as simple
as possible. When the job is within
their ability SO that 1t is possible
for them to succeed. the children
enjoy doing it and grow in power
from day to day If it Is too COM
plicated they lose heart, and that Is
disastrous.
Don't hesitate to let boy clean
house and attend to the evening
meal if that service is needed. Boys
can cook we'll: many of them do
better than their sisters. Don't di-
vide and assign work on basis Of sex,
but on ability, and upon the need
for the work.
Don't manufacture jobs. That is
fatal. The job must be real, the
need must be real and the accom-
plishment an asset to the family life.
Little children, those who are too
young to follow directions or help
themselves, need the presence of
their mothers. When the absence
of mothers engaged in war work
means that helpless children are left
without protection and guidance
there can be no gain to Offset the
loss to the children.
When some one has to be hired
to attend to such children, where is
the gain? Nobody can take the
place of mother. The best hire
ling is a makeshift. Why not let
that person do the war work and
let the mother attend to her first
duty, the care Of little children?
There are some mothers whom
necessity forces out Of the home to
the factory and the shop. Their
children must be left behind to the
mercy Of some one else. When there
Is a relative to take over, things
are not so bad, but when there
is nobody and the children are
either locked in the house or
left on the street it is wholly bad.
wholly indefensible and society must
take over the responsibility. For
such children we must establish
day nurseries manned and super
vised by the experts.
