Personalities
Of Children
Different
By Leffice Lee Street,

Whatever the size and pattern of
your family, be it two of a kind,
a mixed pair, several alike or large
collection of both boys and girls,
you surely by now are alive to your
need for having a flexible attitude
towards your youngsters.
BY that I meansyou need to shift
your point of view and alter your
understanding dozens of times each
day as you deal with each child
Observation-Disclosures you have identi-
cal twins to boast of! There are
no two youngsters alike in your, or
any other, family.
You should also have learned that
it is useless to attempt to force upon
one child the virtues of another
Being brother and sister does not
mean that Alice will be gentle,
thoughtful child like Bob, nor that
Bob will be as attractive as the
more volatile Alice. They are each
one person in their own right who
are going to behave and respond
exactly as their minds and per-
sonalities direct
No parent can make a child over
and it is very harmful to try.
Brothers and sisters are going to
get on together amicably, or squab-
bic. according not only to their own
personalities and dispositions but
also according to their parents at
titude towards them. The best
brought-up children will fight and
adult interference should be most
cautiously expended. Example: Mary
cried because Billy hit her. The
mother punished Billy while Mary
looked on through wet lashes. as
pleased as punch. In reality Mary
deserved punishment because she
Wilfully destroyed Billy's carefully
built bridge of blocks and she de-
served all he gave her.
Parents can make one child loathe
another by faulty attitudes towards
their youngsters. An older child is
sometimes dour. supersensitive, in
Prospective and shy because he has
had the violent jolt to his ego by
seeing his place taken by another.
He, who was once the baby and
the 'only" child, is now disregarded
for newcomer
The smallest person in the large
family may grow up thinking he is
the whole cheese and half the sand
wich, or he may give up the effort
to assert himself against the terrible
odds of big, bullying brothers and
sisters. He needs the help of alert,
fair-minded parents. The middle
child may develop into mousy
creature because he feels in between.
unnoticed by his mother or father.
and thus he grows to believe that
he does not amount to much.
Yes, the order in line of each
child in the family affects his be-
havior and his attitude. Parent and
child relationships and brother and
sister problems will be better and
less frequent If parents treat each
child As a person with a right to
the way he thinks. looks and feels.

Rr Edifh VI. BARRIER

Several readers have asked me to
devote column to the tripe ques-
tion. I have printed several recipes
for this variety meat" which. until
recently. was used so little en-
American tables. In the markets we
find two kinds which may be de-
scribed as smooth and honey
comb type The honeyComb tripe
is usually preferred, as it takes a
shorter time to cook. I have found
that it seldom takes more than an
hour in Salted water. while other
tripe may take a number of hours.

is boiled, if it is to be used for
pepper pot or for SteWing. If it
is to be Sauteed, it may be left in
the one piece or cut in pieces of
the proper size. Bacon or ham fat
is best for Sauteeing or a few slices
of onion may be used with other
dripping.

she plans to marry Immediately
after graduation and would like
something in the line of combi-

here, too, find out where she will
live, whether she will have a home
of her own, is likely to be skipping
around the country or plans to stay
in the old family mansion until
serviceman husband comes home
from the wars.
Having solved these problems, the
next thing to take into considera-
ton is her personality. If she's
great outdoor enthusiast, sports

very feminine type she will like
novelty items such as hair orna-
ments, gloves with a "fusSy' touch,

for Graduation
Consider Recipients Plans, Interests and Personal
When Choosing Congraulatory Offerings This Year

1t will surprise very few people
to find that the sweet girl gradu-
ate" appears in a new streamlined
version this year. She, like almost
everything else you might mention,
has changed with the times. And
though she comes out of school this
year no older. she is likely to come
out much wiser.
In peacetime she might look for
ward to an extensive and expensive
trip as a graduation gift. Or she
might plan to continue her studies
in leisurely sort of way. Today
her graduation usually means either
the beginning of business career
or a marriage-and sometimes both.
The 1943 June graduate is an alert,
aware person who will use her
formal education as an aid in the
business of helping to win the war,
not as background to be dragged
out only in discussions which center
around the "old school tie
We mention all of this because the
new activities and way of life of
graduates is certain to affect the
kind of graduation gifts they will
want this year. And since most of
use will be choosing at least one
such present within the next few
weeks, here are some ideas to fol-
low:
First of all, determine what your
graduate is going to do after her
schooling" is complete. If she is
going to be a business girl. find out
where she will live and what her
job is to be. so that any present
you choose will be appropriate. If
she is going to join one of the sery-
ices, you'll hardly want to give her
an angora bedjacket, and if she
will be some business officials girl

him an alibi for peddling his pipe
dreams among other ladies.
Possibly, however, it is true that
men pick out their wives with their
Imagination instead of their COM
mon sense and good judgment, and
that is why it is SO difficult for a
woman to give satisfaction as wife,
even when she is doing her darndest.
For only too many men expect their
wives to remain perpetUally young
and beautiful and keep their girlish
figures; to be always waiting for
their return of an evening with a
glad, sweet smile on their lips, no
matter what sort of a day they
have had with the children and the
cooking and the washing and the
ironing; to always be beautifully
dressed without running up clothes
bills; to never have any temper or
nerves, or personal desires or tastes,
but to be always sweet and amiable.
to be good cooks, yet never smell of
the kitchen; to be intelligent, yet

Gay Design Furnishes Room
SkyBue Wall Increases Spacious Effect of Small Area;
Modern Utilization of Old Upright Piano Is Suggested

Dear Miss NOVEL;: I have a very
tiny dining room in my house. 1t is
large enough for only a breakfast
size table and four chairs. Can you
advise me what I can do to this
small space to make it interesting
without the use of furniture? 1t has
two out-opening easement windows
on one wall.-K. G. B.
Answer-Your best bet for an en-
phatic interest is gay wallpaper
This will furnish the room for you in
both color and pattern. Keep the
scale of the design in proportion to
the size of the room but 60 in for
color and pattern heavily. Suggest
sheer organdie or net. tie back, ruf-
fed curtains at the windows, as they
will not close the room in. Ihey
should be generous and frilly. You
might put hanging shelves on the
wall or corner shelves at each side
of the windows for china. F1owering
plants on the window sills would be
another decorative item which would
not take up space IN the room.

Dear Miss NOVEL;: What color
would you suggest to make a living
room on the southeast corner OF my
house look larger? 1t now has a
figured wallpaper on it which seems
to me to make the room look too
full and cluttered I shall have to
purchase a new rug also. VIII a
plain or a figured one be best for a
spacious appearance, and should it
be the same color as the walls or a
contrasting color?-J. S.
AnsWer-All the light pastel tones
will help to make the room look
larger. White walls would increase
the size most of all but they are
pretty trying to live with. I would
suggest a very pale, sky blue as a
restful color In this exposure and
one that makes a nice background
for other colors. Plain walls would
be better than figured wallpaper.

Strained Eyes
Invite Body
Fatigue
By Patricia LINDSAY

With millions of women entering
war production occupations, inVoV-
ing arduouS visual tasks for long
beauty takes on a new Importance
For unless Woman'S eyes are tuned
to the highest efficiency she may
become unduly fatigued by the end
of the dav. And fatigued woman
is never lovely to look at or be with,
and she is bad investment for any
employer
A girl or woman should do any
thing to avoid eye strain. If lack
Of vision, illness or type of work
requires the use Of eyeglasses, they
should be worn. Too many feminine
complaints about aches and pains
can be directly traced 10 strained
eyes. And no face can be free of
unlovely wrinkles if the eyes are
constantly strained
So important is this question Of
eyeglasses that it was considered a
special problem at the International
Convention Of Beauty Shop Owners
which was recently held in New
York,
Girls, whether working or not
insist upon looking attractive, and
how to look attractive while wear
ing eyeglasses or industrial glasses
called for special hairdos, costumes
and makeup. A chic brunette wore
crystal Coyer-all glasses (they pro-
teCt your own eyeglasses as well
as your eyes,. a short smart hair
do and an ensemble of dark blue
ovprallS with a blue striped blouse.
Her hair had been tapered and
cut short to a 4-inch length and
combed in simple off-face horn"
pompadouf The height of the POM
padour, which was parted on the
right side, detracted from the
glasses. The back hair was combed
out casually behind the ears. giving
width to the lower part Of the face
which is vital if glasses must be
worn.
At the end of the day, when you
return home. relax for a few mo-
mentS with refreshing pads on your
eyes. These may be prepared herbal
pads. cotton saturated in chilled
witch hazel or your best face aStrin-
gent. Do not let any astringent
get into your eyes, however.

interests is a sensible gift. For the
girl who spends a great deal of
| time at home, there are wonderful
lounging outfits, slacks, pinafores,
houSecoats and short "breakfast
coats" that are neither expensive
nor risky as congratulatory Offer
ings.
Cosmetics, primarily perfumes and
bath aids, are fairly safe ideas.
Fitted travelling kits, those which
are still in stock, make wonderful
gifts, particularly since under the
new WPB regulations fitted cases,
along with animal carriers and such,
are considered non-essential and
will be prohibited in the future :.
You can still get manicure kits,
by the way.
There are loads of good looking
bits of lingerie in cotton, some of
the pieces very charming and all
cool, comfortable and easy to care
for. Plastic purses are new and in
terestlng and so are those oversized
ones of bright-colored fabric big
enough, nearly, for a week end. It's
hard to go wrong with books, phono-
graph records, engraved stationery
or visiting cards, picture frames and
the like. Take a look at swim suits,
summer coats and blouSes in the
fashion line-all things that almost
every girl wants and needs Wooden
compacts and cigarette cases,
strand of pearls with earrings to
match, bright-toned handkerchiefs
or novelty styles to "perk up" sum-
mer suits. scarfs to wear with those
same suits or whip into a turban,
artificial flowers for the hair or
the lapel-all these are among the
suggestions that young girls have
approved
But remember, there's one gift
that will be perfect if your grad
uate is going to be business girl,
a woman in uniform or a housewife.
That's right-a War bond. You

Royal Breakfast

Charles V Of Spain breakfasted
each morning on potted capons
cooked in sugar. milk and spices
and iced beer. Today every one can
have more nourishing breakfast
than the royalty of history, thanks
to cereals made from whole grains
or restored to whole grain nutritive
values.

Nitamins Restored!

One cup Of ready-to-eat cereal
supplies 100 units of food energy.
When made from whole grains or
restored to whole grain nutritive
values, cereals furnish thiamin Vita
min Bill, niacin and iron, too. You
can use these excellent foods as
often as you like when planning
wartime meals, for cereals are plen-
tiful and non-rationed.

Wall-to-wall carpet would increase
the size Of the room also, and next
best to this a rug that would come
up to within inches of the base
board. If you could get this in
slightly deeper shade of blue or

the impression of soft blue you could
solve the space problem and the
practical problem at the same time.
