David would have liked football
very much. But remembering the
unpleasant taste Of the first dose Of
medicine and realizing that he had
a whole bottle yet to take (the med
icine only had been started that
day. he refused the offer after due
consideration. Her patience ex-
hausted by now, the parent threat
ened that he either would take the
medicine or go to bed for the after
noon. At this the boy burst into
tears and as he still refused his
medicine, was put to bed as punish
ment.
When father came home that
evening mother told him the de-
tails of what had happened and
said that it was up to him now to
see what could be done with the
boy. Making no reference to the
afternoons set-to. father simply
announced. Its time for your
medicine" AS he removed the bot
tie cap, the boy started protesting.
This the father ignored. He just
said. II know that it is an unpleas-
ant dose. Medicine is not supposed
to taste like ice cream. Drink 1t
down quickly. and the taste won't
last a minute. Here, take It," he
said, Offering the boy a spoonful.

it really wasn't so bad.

Bows Sit

Bl ELEANOR GUM

NEW YORK-No matter how you
~ spell it, woman can never
have too many bows. Girls have
gone back to their childhood days
and wear both hair ribbons and
pigtailS. Many smart girls wear a
perky black velvet bow either side

hats.
Many necklines have pussy cat

with bow, at the waist or wherever
sometimes for no better reason
than because bows are usually
pretty and often smart.
Another decorative detail is the
contrasting yoke. For the date or
dreSsier models the yoke Is often
beaded, embroidered or studded
with nailheads or jewels. In fact,
yokes are worked out in all sorts Of
fascinating ways, which accounts
for their great popularity among
women old and young. Sometimes
dropped shoulder line is suggested
by 1t. sometimes the yoke itself Is
only suggested and does not actu-
ally exist. In order to give the effect
of yoke. all one needs to do is to
outline an imaginary edge.
The so-called dimout yoke is a
great favorite. BY this is meant a
transparent yoke, sheer black over
the neck being the usual formula.
and in many of the better models
a scroll or broken edge is formed by
appliques of the material on the
yoke section. Box pleatings or
ruches sometimes outline a yoke.
One model shown at recent re-
view of fall fashions was Of black
taffeta, with black marquisette lace
studded with rhinestones, the yoke
outlined with box pleating Of the
taffeta. In this and similar models
the yoke extends to the throatline.
A bit Of sparkle. gun metal Sc
gums. for instance, is permissible
on the models that have that fes-
tive Ave o'clock look. A sheer wool
two-piece model with slightly far
ing buttoned-front jacket had the
fare at the hip highlighted by

Everything depends on the type.
Few birthmarks can be removed,
however, and l would suggest that
you try to conceal it instead. There
is a preparation called cover

for the purpose. 1t comes in nu-
merous shades to match any COM

evenly, completely hiding the mark.

Manners
QUESTION: "May lettuce be cut

QUESTION: May lettuce be cut
NTH a knife? p. o."
ANSWER: Yes, II necessary.
Whenever the cutting of any food
is readily accomplished with a
fork. the fork is used alone. At one
time it was the custom never to
use a knife for cutting lettuce. 1t
arose because steel knives turned
black. Nowadays most hoStesses
serve salad that does not require
cutting.
QUESTION. What is the proper
way TO eat oysters on the half shell?
&C. M"
ANSWER Usually III csc are
served on a bed of ice with small
glass of condiment in the center.
A small three-pronged oyster fork
is provided. With it each oyster
is lifted out of shell. dipped in the
sauce and eaten.

for those who ask for a ride and
those who offer one. Dreadful
tragedies have occurred because of
this practice; they are too numer-
Gus and to horrible to list. Parents
or guardians Of young children who
do not forbid them to ask for, or
accept, lifts excepting when offered
by those they know. have side
stepped a grave responsibility.
Children are naturally naive: being
without guile, they accept the
stranger as friend when the ter
rible experiences children have met
with at the hands of strangers
prove that they are often mott
waited by anything but friendly
impulses.
Not Flattering
Teach your child to repulse, or at
least not respond to, any overtures
from strangers, men especially.
Bring them up so that they will re-
fuse to get into strangers car. It
isn't a pleasant task to disabuse a
child's mind, or to plant seeds of
suspicion, but it must be done for
the safety OF the child. and not
only the child but the grown
daughters, too.
Girls have such an absurd notion
that the attentions Of strange men
are flattering. AS matter. of fact,
they are very often designing and
entirely impersonal. It isn't the in
dividual girl, it's any girl. Once get
this idea across to your daughter
and she won't be so flattered.
The attentions of some men,
strangers or acquaintance, are
often more insulting than flatter-
ing. It usually doesn't take long for
a level-headed, well-bred young
woman to distinguish between at
tracing man for herself. or at
tracing him because of her sex,
but the trouble Is that girls are vain
and silly-well. a lot of them are.
anyway-they build up a case for
the man. or themselves. and insist
on seeing the situation as romantic
when it's merely sordid.
Be Frank with Child
The phrase living dangerously"
has potent appeal for young peo-
pie. The person who coined it has
a lot to answer for. There's plenty
OF danger in ones own back yard
or on ones own street: the girl who
goes looking for 1t hasn't far to
seek. Living securely and safely
may be exciting. too. Living dam
gerously may not be at all what the
romantic young things believe it to
bet usually costs more than one
is willing to pay for any thrill one
may have been able to get from it.
Parents are. Of course. not al
ways to blame for the mlsfortunes
of their children. but they are too
often to blame for not being frank
with them. Ignorance is not inno-
cence, any more than fearlessness
is foolhardiness. Our children
should be aware of the dangers to
which they are exposed: when they
are not made aware and become
victims when they might have as
easily escaped. it's the parents
fault.
None OF us can afford to obey all
our impulses. We must use judg-
ment. and Judgment is thing you
can't expect children to have. They
have to be taught truth and cause
and effect. so that their powers Of
discrimination and judgment may
develop with their years and with
their knowledge.
Begin today cautioning your
children, big and little, against
thumbing rides or accepting offers
of them from strangers.
