 school day was a total loss to him.
 The well-trained home nurse knows the importance of sleep to the growing child. She knows, too, that if she listens to the plea, let me stay up just this once," she is likely to make the concession too often and soon all hope of maintaining good sleeping habits will be gone.
 Good sleeping habits depend much on the right approach to the bed- time hour. There is no point in put ting child to bed on time unless he is in the mood to go to sleep. An ar- gument about going to bed, re- hash of the misbehavior of the day, or noisy and exciting play just be- fore the bedtime hour are not con- ducive to sleep. Even though SleeE comes these conflicts are likely to lead to bad dreams and night ter TOTS.
 The period just before bedtime should be pleasant, quiet and free from excitement of all kinds. The very young child may be given warm bath, dressed in his night clothes and given an early dinner. After dinner a half hour with a story book before he is tucked in, and then an affectionate goodnight kiss should put him in the mood for sleep with sense of all being right in his world.
 Even the child who is old enough to put himself to bed should be re- stricted to quiet games, reading or friendly chat during the last hour before bedtime, so that he may re- tire in 8 happy, serene frame of mind.

Yes Mother! I'II Eat That

A bad cold almost always means |a lost appetite. Even if the patient feels slightly hungry, nothing seems to taste right.
 Feeding sick adults Is problem enough, but feeding i'll children is even worse. Dish after dish is petu- 'Iently refused. Mother has real problem.
 How about Q rennet-custard, Mother? It's a popular dessert when the child is well, and you'll nnd 1t equally popular during ill., ness. It's cold, it's tasteful and with some light fruit topping it may be made very, very attractive. Best of all, liberal quantities of milk will be obtained by that little patient who perhaps refuses for the time to drink his glass of milk"
 Here is a recipe for yosDr consider ation. Try 1t during sick days = and during well days. too:
 JIffy Prune ennet-custard G cup thick unsweetened prune puree
 2 cups milk (not canned) < 1 package orange or lemon rennet powder
 Divide prune puree among 4 or $ dessert glaSses. Make |rennet-custard according to direc- |tions on package. Chill. then serve.

Eye Make-Up Tips

While Wally Westmore was mak- ing Diana Lynn up for Paramounts out of This World he gave us few tips on eye makeup and here they are:
 For sparkling clear eyes-drop three drops of eye lotion in each eye every day. If you wish your eyes to appear largo and round-apply mascara to the upper lashes only.
 To add depth to the eye-apply eye shadow near the base of the up- per lid.
 To make a perfect arch-extend the end of the brows with brown eye pencil.
 If you are tired after hard days work-apply foundation cream over the dark circles under your eyes. Blend the cream into the balance of your makeup with the tips of your fingers.

not promised that much conSloera- tion early in the war. For If they had been, many young war wife might have been interested in get ting into uniform and helping to fill the quotas of women needed overseas as WACS, Army nurses, dieticians, and physical therapy aides.
 HELD BACK
 But many of them were held back by the thought, I might find my self stuck in a foreign assignment while my husband was back in the United States
 Nobody can blame woman for letting such a possibility deter her from serving her country - because women have always put their mar riages first and have been taught 1t is their duty to do so.
 Women are needed in modern war and they can perform valuable services But they can't be treated exactly as men are treated. Not un- less they are educated to think - as men think that in wartime duty to ones country must be put above even marriage responsibilities
 But the present generation o1 young women have had no such training nor do their men feel that they should put any obliga- tion above their duty to their huS- bands.

was kibitzing at the Park Cen tral duplicate game the other night and I thought today's hand involved two rather nice principles.
 North's double of one heart nat urally is inviting a spade bid from South. Of course, East's bid of two clubs is more or less a weakness bid, saying. Partner, think we will lose less tricks at two clubs double than you will at one heart double" But when South jumps in with two spades, it does not indicate he has a strong hand because South has passed, but it does say, Partner, have four spades" North's jump to four spades, of course was Justl- fled.
 I saw several pairs play the hand at three spades and vail to make four, but at the table was watch ing, they did arrive at four spades.
 The declarer won the opening club lead and took two rounds of spades. Now small club was returned. East won and returned club which de- clarer trumped. Declarer's next play was the seven of diamonds. The de- clarer felt that West must have the ace and king of diamonds, not only to justify the opening heart bid but to justify the fact that East made weakness bid
 There was a third good reason the only way the contract can be made, is to find the ace and king of diamonds in Vests hand so that one of those losing hearts can be discarded on the queen of diamonds. Remember. only three of them can be trlmped.
 Those who tried to ruff out the hearts before setting up the queen of diamonds lost the contract.
