Tomorrow Is the day honoring oslr
favorite saint, although none but
the most sentimental Of males would
admit remembering the date. Actu-
ally, this year, st. Valentines Day
is more than q day for lovers-it's
for loved ones, too. Women may
feel like remembering others whose
husbands are many miles away, and
their young sisters who've been pin
ing for absent heart throbs. And
chubby little Cupid will smile on
you II you remember q mother whose
son Is In the service. Here are sew
eral last-minute suggestions for the
Day of Hearts-all tried and true
because the Cupid-shafts that hit
the mark are most often those that
have been dipped in perfume or
something sweet.
SCENTS FOR SENTIMENT -
Perfumes speak most eloquently of
all in the language of love. For the
recent bride, or the girl whose hopes
are high, you couldn't select any
thing nicer than one that's caught
the smell of lilies of the valley, ira
ditional flower of brides. II your
exchequer won't stand perfume
send sachets instead-sweet, sleek
satin little pillows hand-sewn and
scented with the fragrance Of the
bell-shaped blossom. Topped with
ribbons and a sprig of the flower,
they'll sweeten her hope chest lying
midst her trousseau pretties.
FOR JUNIOR AND SENIOR
HEART THROBS-There's a light
sweet perfume specially designed for
the junior miss. It's caught the
springtime in her heart and will
make any Sinatra fan 1--WE with joy
For her older, more sophisticated
sister or mother, there's an exciting
giddy scent that will go right to
her head 1t comes in a bottle that
in itself makes perfect and long
lasting valentine - clear crystal
speared with q big golden arrow
stopper. The lady who's more sweet
than sophisticated, the one who re-
minds you Of gardens and gracious
ness, would love a busting powder
that reminds her of thousands of
blossoms. Its pretty box was de-
signed to recreate in paper the ef-
feet Of an old French paperweight
in which myriad colored glass f1ow-
ers are imprisoned in crystal. This

cause it's specially wrapped in paper
that's printed all over with fat rosy
red hearts. + 4

new arrival Is first diagnosed by the
clinical director and pediatrician,
special studies and tests are made
as indicated and the patient is re-
ferred to the proper clinic Three
clinics are conducted weekly, two
orthopedic and one cardiac, and a
plastic clinic-for the treatment of
the aftermath of burns, harelips,
and so on-also is conducted on call.
If medical treatment is indicated,
this is given together with the
clinical care. Physical and occupa-
tional therapy also are administered
when indicated. If the child's con-
dition is not serious, periodical
treatment may be all that is re-
quired. If hospital care is neces-
sary. suitable financial arrange
ments are made in accordance with
the income in the home, keyed to
the individual taste Approximately
500 children are treated weekly in
the clinic-and, incidentally, the
unit defines children as any youths
under 81 years of age. Parents of
the children treated at the unit are
given instructions concerning home
aid that may be given to the child.
If it is necessary that the child
be hospitalized in the units hos
pital, every effort is made to pro-
duce an atmosphere approximating
home life. When the patients con-
dition permits, he takes his meals
in the dining room. There also is a
schoolroom, conducted by visiting
instructors from the public schools,
who work with an eye to keeping
the child in step with his own school
level. An attractive library, equipped
and furnished by the District Pub
lie Library, is available to the chill
dren. A librarian works once q week
with the bed-ridden, as well as the
ambulatory patients. Movies are
shown once a week and other enter
tainments, as well as occasional
parties, are supplied by outside in
terested people. One ward is de-
voted to children recovering from
bouts with rheumatic fever. The
children's days vary, with the pro-
grams planned to meet individual
needs.
Other agencies in the city, de-
signed to meet the same end, Coop
crate actively with this unit. For

The Young Idea

Adjustment can be a rather ter
rifying word. It can be especially
terrifying to the child who is physi-
cally handicapped, to the child who
becomes aware of that awful "dif-
ference" existing between himself
and his associates. Or adjustment
can be very satisfying experience,
when the child and his parents bring
the handicap into the clear light of
reason, accept 1t, and adopt the very
sane attitude: This is condition
that exists-how can we best cope
with it?" The fact that the child
can be uShered into world where
he is on speaking terms with him
self, and with society, is being
proven daily at the handicapped
childrens unit at Gallinger Hospital,
conducted by the handicapped chill
dren's service of the District of Co.
lumbia Health. Department in CO.
operation with Gallinger Hospital.
The services of this clinic are availa-
BILE to every District resident. We'd
like to tell you about them.
The keynote of the philosophy of
the clinic staff lies in the fact that
the child is taught to accept his
handicap-and take it from there
Every effort is made to improve the
condition, to correct 1t, if possible,
but at no time is the patient made
to feel different" The entire project
is beamed to the building of self
reliance, self f-confidence. The child
is treated as complete person, with
every need considered.
Exactly what do we mean by the
Handicapped child? The definite
limp, cerebral palsy condition, the
aftermath of polio, the serious heart
condition are, on the whole, self
evident. But the work of the clinic
does not stop with the more seri-
ously handicapped. Posture cases
are treated, as well as cases of fiat
feet, bow legs, knock knees and
curvatures. A handicapped child is
specifically any child with a condi-
ton that handicaps his normal ac-
tivity @and progress. 1t is most es-
sential that treatment for these con-
ditions begin at the earliest possible
date. Serious complications may de-
velop in later years from even the
less critical conditions.
Let's follow a child who has been
brought to the clinic for aid. The

ANSWER TO CATSUP QUERY.
Thanks to Mrs. r. E. c.,

I can see no reason why catsup
could not be made from canned to-
matoes. The only difficulty would
be to determine how many jars OF
tomatoes would equal the amount
of fresh tomatoes called for in the
catsup recipe, and that need not be
exact. Any good canning book
would have a recipe for making
catsup. Last summer I made some
very good chilli sauce from tomatoes
[ had canned the summer before.

son. The two are Ginger Rogers anc
John GARFIELD.
Garfield's decision to return u
the theater is the least surprising
of the two. 1t has always been his
first love and not all his success IN
Hollywood has been able to change
the emotion.
With Miss Rogers, 1t Is the re-
verse. Her success on the stage was
never of a calibre to indicate that
1t promised much of a career. She
was merely dancer, a rather pretty
girl who also could sing, but who
never was appreciated on Broadway
Well, not very much appreciated
Her last role was In Girl Crazy
and the public was crazier about
several other members of the cast
although Hollywood developed sort
of yearning for Miss Rogers at the
time.
1t had no notion of course that
she had a yen TO be a dramatic
actress. For years, as you know, 1t
kept her dancing and singing until
she finally staged revolt and
asked when, for Heavens sake, they
were going to give her chance to
prove that she could really act. 1t
was in kitty Foyle," after 'Bache-
lor Mother" and several other
straight dramatic roles, that Miss
Rogers proved herself a sufficiently
good actress to win the Academy
Award.
Her long career in Hollywood has
had a tendency to obliterate memory
of the fact that she ever was on the
stage. 1t is this corners guess that
she will renew any such fading
memories If she gets a part worthy
of her skill for Miss r. actually
comes into consideration any time
topfight cinema actresses are men,
toned.
The role for which Miss Rogers is
scheduled is the lead in "One More
River" a part which Producers
Eddie Dowling and Louis j. Singer
originally offered to Dorothy Nc
Guire. Miss MCGUIRE was forced to
say no, despite the alluring aspects
of the production, because of previ-
GUS commitments to the USO as the
lead in the overseas edition of Dear
Ruth"
Miss Rogers has said yes, and the
theater season seems the luckier for
that.
Garfield, who went to Hollywood
following his successes in Having
Wonderful Time" and Golden Boy"
plus having made a name for him
self as a member of the famous
Group Theater, never so succumbed
to the charms of the cinema that he
did not want to return to his first
love.
