Old?
Bv JoSebhine Lowman

BY Josephine Louman
1t is difficult to realize that we
have back view which is Just as
noticeable to every one else as the
front image is to US. We are so
busy improving what we must look
at every time We pass a window or
look into mirror that we neglect
the neighbor's view.
Here are few things you cannot
see from the front:
l. The condition of your coiffure.
A wiSpy or straggly hair line is not
attractive, AS much thought should
be given to styling of back hair as to
that which frames the face. Shape
of head and neck enter into this.
2. The length of your neck. If it
is short be certain that your coat
or dress does not meet your hair
line, thus "chopping off" your neck
3. Stocking seams, Of course-that
is, if you have any.
4. Heels that are slightly run over
are most unsightly from the back.
5. Scuffed heels. This is usually
seen only from rear view.
s. Wrinkles from sitting. Care as
to how your dress is smoothed out
when you sit and frequent DRESSINGS
will help.
7. Width of hips and Wobbling
hips. Learn to walk smoothly so
that the hips will not bounce up
and down.

Notes on a Feminine Cuff:

Other Matters of Interest to Washington Women

WAVE We know, who shall be
nameless, says she's pretty happy
about the job Malnbocher did on her
uniform, but that life would be much
happier, and snapper, if two tiny
little changes were made in her en-
semble. First place, she thinks that
white shirts would look much better
than the blue when worn with her
navy uniform. and she's not even
fuSsy about their being silk Just
thinks that white, in cotton even.
would make the girls look as neat
and trim as their brother officers.
The other thing that has her down
Is the thought of wearing those
heavy hats come summer in Wash
ington. They're hot now, says our
WAVE, and when the torrid tenn
peratures arrive her hat is going to
have to be sent out to be cleaned
quite frequently That automatically
means that she II have to have two
since hatlessness is froWned on in
the service-and the doggone things
cost l8 bucks apiece. Her idea is a
sort of overseas cap arrangement,
similar to the one which the rest of
the Navy is permitted to wear. She
thinks they could be done in wash
able material, be less expensive and
always look clean and fresh. Be
much more comfortable too. And
far less trouble than laundering and
changing white covers for those
heavy hats.
This seems to be Service Day IN
the fashion department. Worthy of
a wider circulation is the farewell /

Keeping on Friendly Terms With
Mother-in.Law Brings Reward

mother-in- law should say;
h Don't go to live with your
daughter in law Live in a hovel or
the poor house if you can't afford
a place of your own. The frigid zone
is no colder than a daughter in
laws welcome
~ Don't act possesSively toward
your son. Don't brag of his affec-
tion for you. Nothing makes a wife
so jealous as for her husband to pay
his mother MANY attentions
t3 Never question your daughter
ln-laW about anything that happens
IN her house She considers even
an inquiry about the weather as
prying into her affairs. Never make
a suggestion to her. Let her feel
that she is inCarnate wisdom. and
that she never makes a mistake, or
uses bad judgment.
II a mother-in-laW would do these
few things, a, r-in-law will
permit her to nelp with paving the
bills, take care of the children when
she goes out. and act as a sick nurse
in all times of illness. 1t is a great
life to be a mother-in- law if YOU
don't weaken!

Bv Dorothy Dix

Dear Miss Dix: Will you please
write something about how mothers
in-law should treat their daughters
in law? Should mother-in-laW
give presents to her married children
and then throw her gifts in their
faces? Should she feel that she
should be told where they go every
time they leave the house? Has she
the right to help rear the grand
children? Should she always be
reminding them CT their debts?
Because nv mother -inlaW does
these things I won go to her house
with my husband. He says that is
the only fault he can find with me.
I say that I can't be tWo-faced and
pretend to like her when I hate her
What about it? READER.
Answer-Weu suppose that the
only perfect mcther-in-la law is a
dead one, but it doesn't seem to me
that you have any maior grievances
against yours. especially as you don't
have to live with her.
Considering how much happier
YOU would be if you were friendly
with your mother-in law instead OF
being at enmity with her, and how
it would endear you to your husband
for you to be on good terms with
his mother, don't you think you
might rise to the heights Of soft
pedaling her faults and turn the
spotlight on her virtues? Don't you
think you might try to understand
her as human being, and see her
as a garrulous old woman who wants
to have a fuss made over her
generosity, and who is curious about
everything you do just because she
has few interests of her own?
The reason she reminds you of
her presents to you is because she
wants you to get out the brass band
YOU proclaim how kind she is to you
And you can stop her from prying
into your affairs by confiding in her
and asking her advice, which you
don't need to take unless you want
to. And, Of course, she feels she has
dren. Probably there isn't a grand
mother on earth who doesn't feel
that way, and who isn't always
telling the childrens mother what
she did for her Johnny when he
had the Group, and what Mamie
ought to do.
Why, you could have the old lady
eating out Of your hand if you
would Just use as much tact in
getting along with her as you would
in dealing with any strange woman
you know. And. believe me, nothing
else pays such big dividends in
happiness as keeping on good terms
with your in-laws.

been altered by the necessity of sup
plying the fighting men with all
they need of the best to be had:
Handbags. Leather goes to the
Army; workers who formerly made

plastics are prohibited for zippers.

Beauty products. Substitutes have
been found for war essential alco-
hol and glyCerine used in beauty
products and there is no real short
age. Biggest change is in simpler
packaging.
Engraved invitations. Lack of
copper plates cuts production. En-
gravers must sell some re-usable
old copper for war production, and
shoppers have been asked to turn
in discarded copper card plates
Gift wrapping. Most stores con-
tinue wrapping, but fewer
fancy boxes and papers plus man

ice drastically.

the youngster al the age Of 3 is old
enough TO take his place in the
family group and conform in an
acceptable manner. This is true II
parents are willing TO make adjust
mentS in their routine so that the
small child can learn gradually.
The healthy child really loves 70
eat. The preparation of food for
the table has fascination for
young unS" which may be used
as an added incentive at mealtlme.
In the morning let the small child
put the silver on the table. watch
for, the water to boil for cereal and
coffee. and he or she will feel so
much part of the ceremony that
eating breakfast will be a personal,
triumph.
1t may be more than busy parents
can do TO muster a smile before,
coffee in the morning. But. at least,
they can refrain from grouching
and scolding, Small children we'll
come each day as a new adventure.
Ihey Waken early and by the time !
breakfast is served are full of eX-
cltement for the day. Such exu-
oeranCe makes many parents ready
to tear their own hair, and this at
tltude gets across to the youngster
who is Immediately on the defensive.
The first remark, sit right uni
now, Johnny, and eat your cereal"
IN sharp. commanding tone. is
Just about all it requires to take the
JOY out OF Johnny's morning. He
Immediately slumps, poutS, is COR
rected several more times and in the
end either eats under protest re-
Senting each mouthful or leaves the
/ table IN tears. He is forming a set
OF behavior patterns which it will
take months to cure. Father and
mother are disguised with them,
selves and exasperated with johnny,
and another day is off to a bad start.
The opposite of this is that by
the time breakfast is served, john
ny. fortified with his orange Juice
while the cereal is cooking, gets into
his chair interested in his cereal
a
small sized sugar bowl and cream
pitcher is his own share of ''rations."
A word from father ON What are
you going to do today?" and a re-
mark from mother that breakfast
tastes so good is all that is neces-
sary to make pleasant atmosphere.
In nine cases out of ten the meal
is pleasant, there are no feeding
problems, and if manners must be
corrected, smile and word or
two will straighten things out.
This sounds too simple to be true.
and too 1dyllic to practical, but it
Is proved all over this city of ours
in every nursery school every day
of the week. Supervisors know that
all they have to do is create the
right happy atmosphere and all
but an occasional youngster will re-
spond readily.
1t takes very little time to an
sWer few simple questions or show
a small child how to put spoons on
the table thinking up little extras"
like his own eating utensils which
he may purchase himself, is nothing
compared with the time wasted in
scolding and spanking with all the
attendant miseries.
Parents are overworked and wor-
rled these days, and their children
sense such uneasiness. To overcome
this electric atmosphere parents
should give little more thought
to the minor details of living and
mealtime is one of the most i'm
portant points at Which to begin.

Dear Mrs. STREET.: Would YOU
write an article on how to correct

who has Just turned 5, still pro-
nounces his IS" as "th." Outside of
that he speaks quite plainly and has
an excellent vocabulary. We have
never used baby talk" with him and
no one in our family has this type
of speech defect. l have tried to
play games with him where he could
use IS sound. for example: How
does the stream sound?" etc. But
he can't learn to keep his tongue
behind his teeth. MRS. L. M

The fact that 'it seems awkward
suggests that speaking should be
the natural thing to DO. If you
repeatedly encounter the same per-
son YOU almost always say good
morning or "good-evening. OBJ

TO some one who gives you a grudg-
ing reply you would certainly not

speaks to you first. When some one
answers enthusiastically you may.
OF course, consider this encourage

that people who prefer to be left
