Dorothy Dix Says

dren is for them to feel that she
trusts them.
For that puts them upon their
honor. 1t makes them responsible
for what they do. Parents can't 60
with their children wherever they
go. They can't watch them all the
time, so spying on them does no
good. But If the boys and girls know
that Nom and Pop trust them to
behave themselves decently, 1t is not
often that they fail to do so. They
won't let them down.
A child feels just as much insulted
by being called liar as a grownup
does, and parents make a great mis-
take in accusing one Of not being
truthful unless they have absolute
knowledge that he or she is telling
a falsehood Even then 1t Is better
to try to build up in the youngster's 8
mind an ideal of the honor and re-
spect that goes to the person whose
word is his bond than it is to pun
ish him for not being trustworthy.
And the same applies to girls. There
Is no way to keep q girl good like
making her believe that you think
her incapable of not living up to
your ideal of her.

Dear Miss Dix-My boy friend,
who is sailor, is home on a short
furlough. The other night we went
out together and had a fiat tire and
didn't get in until late. Not very
late at that. I told my mother Just
exactly what happened, but she
doesn't believe me and has forbid
den me to see him any more.
This boy and I have known each
other for over three years and we
love each other. He will be leaving
soon, going back to his duty, and
may never see him again, so this
may be the end. If anything should
happen to him. I will hate my
mother as long as I live.
have never done anything in my
life that was wrong. Why should
my mother fail to trust me?
x. X. x.
Answer: I get many letters from
girls who tell me that their mothers
don't trust them and accuse them
Of doing things that they never
dreamed of doing. 1t cuts these
youngsters to the quick to know
that their mothers have so little
faith in them. And as I read these
pitiful little missives that are often
tear-stained, I wonder that any
grownup woman should have so lit
tie knowledge of human nature as
not to know that the strongest hold
that she can have upon her chill

The famed Partisan catch-all,
"The Flea Market" has New York

But Elmo's-his real name is Elmo
D. Avet-success does not lie In the
fact that he merely has a collection
depot for these castoffs, but what
he does with 1t after 1t comes into
his possession makes the real story.
Elmo-a never say die" fellow
has the knack of turning junk into
highly salable pieces of furniture
This furniture often astonishes many
conservative people but nevertheless
doesn't seem to deter hundreds OF
others from buying his rejuvenated
and unusual creations.
In his display window, which is
an entire room completely furnished
with his handiwork, Elmo exhibits
monkey carved chair backs, oversize
decalcomania lamps, tables and
chests. His customers range from

ing on Victorian furniture that suf-
fers from being far too big to fit into
present-day cramped quarters-and
that is usually ugly as well.
Here is an example of just what
Elmo does once he gets this type of
diversified furniture. Diamond Jim
Brady's bed came to him and after
1t had Elmos master mind put on
lit came out as a smaller bed, a
mantel piece, console table and
an overmantel decoration! These
pieces are now in homes and apart
ments scattered from New York to
Palm Beach to Los Aneles.
Another example is an diversified
American sideboard. This had its
dining room heyday around 1890 and
emerged in 1945 from Elmo's Flea
Market as a mirror-topped table.
Two figures from the original

selves by helping to support the
mirror-topped table, and the other
f1gurine became part of a console
table. The cherub and flower carv-

into the making of two cabinets and
the griffin like figures we're mounted
back to back and, with a glass pane
stretched from one griffin to the
other, blossomed out as glass coffee
table.
Elmo's Flea Market is rapidly be-

and it's a pretty blase person stop

doesn't leave with some kind of an
impression. Favorable or unfavor-
