-
The training and discipline of a
child from birth to maturity is
long, long task requiring all the
skill, all the intelligence, all the
love and devotion that the most
consecrated mother, father or teach
er can apply. The day-by-day
necessity of correcting. advising,
compelling a child to go the right
way becomes such a wearisome
task that the best intentioned par
ent or teacher says one day, I've
told you a thousand times to do
this and here you are, big, healthy
child of 10, just as bad as ever"
Not quite as bad. Once in a
while he remembers. And when he
is out of the house visiting friends
he remembers faithfully. to keep
his elbows in, use his napkins, take
small mouthfuls and ask for no
second helpings. He even will re-
member to stand until his hostess
is seated.
You see, 10, IL and II are very
young, compared to 80, 40 and so.
Years and years of practice, expe-
rience and judgment have made the
older folk somewhat sensible, some
what tanned, somewhat co-opera-
tive with their neighbors, but 10,
II and IL know nothing about life's
demands. Their compliance is
purely a surface matter, and it will
be years and years before thought
fulness, duty, good will influence
them.

Cosmetic companies are working
constantly on creams and formulas.
They are adding and subtracting
new ingredients in order to over
come faults in their products and
to make you even lovelier. Those
houses which concentrate on hands
know many tricks in hand and nail
care. I have asked one of them
to pass some of these along to me-
1 found them most interesting and
am giving them on to you today.
/, Massage your nails often with
cuticle oil. This keeps the skin
about the nails soft and free from
hang nails.
2. Keep your hands soft at all
times with the use of hand lotion.
Use it on your elbows, too. Once
a week sleep with cotton gloves on,
after saturating your hands with
cream or lotion.
3, To make your nails appear
longer apply lacquer over the moon.
IT your nails are already long let
the half moon show. This will make
your fingers appear longer and more
tapering.
4. Learn to use the cushion Of
your fingers when you open a bobby
pin or turn on the light. Use a pen
Gil to dial your telephone numbers
to avoid chipping.
5. Try hand exercises to develop
graceful. firm, expressive hands.
s. Hot water softens your nails
/ and makes them tear more easily
Never file your nails when they
are wet or even damp.
7. If your nail polish tends to be-
come thick you can thin it with a
renewer. Add the renewer and all
low it to stand over night.
8. Use nail polish remover, lemon.
or peroxide, to remove unsightly
stains
9. Be sure that Your nail polish
and lipstick match. This is a must"
for today's well-styled woman.
10. Keep the tops of your polish
bottles clean. This will prevent
thickening and evaporation.

Pomander Balls: In olden times,
pomanders were worn both as an
ornament and as protection against
Infection" A pomander was per-
fume or mixture of perfumes made
in ball and inclosed in a perforated
box or bag, which was worn SuS-
pended from cord or chain around
the neck. Today we associate the
worn pomander with clove-covered
oranges. 1t is derived from
'pomme," meaning apple and amber
girls "a substance used in perfume
making). These fragrant balls keep
their spicy aroma for many months.
They may be hung in linen or
clothing closet, or on bridge lamp,
or on a Christmas tree. They make
fragrant table decorations tucked in
a bowl of fruit
Materials: One orange. box
whole cloves, bit of ribbon. Choose
for your ball sound, medium sized
orange. Tie your ribbon around
orange, as wrapping or package,
with bow on top, outlining ribbon
with a pencil. Remove ribbon.
Stick cloves one by one and very
slowly and carefully into the skin of
the orange. Select only the whole
cloves Be careful not to stick the
cloves down a straight line or hold
the orange too tightly or the skin
will split. Leave the space for the
ribbon clear Set the orange away
for a few weeks. not in a closed
space, but where the air can dry it
out. 1t will shrink and become
very dry and light, but it will not
loose its fragrance. To make the
pomander even more fragrant,
sprinkle with equal parts of pow
dered orris and cinnamon, and wrap
in paper for week or so. Tie on

Summer is practically upon us and
most house owners know that under

pipes will sweat and drip
There is a new product to help
prevent Condensation drip. It's a
thick blanket of inSula ton and an
efficient vapor barrier The blanket
is made of pliable insulating mate

For those of you who have recrea-

paint for decorating purposes, but it
actually does not require painting.
The backing has self sticking ad-
hesive edges on both sides of the in
sulation for attaching to pipes. No
mechanical skill or experience is re-
quired. Equipped with this material
and pair of scissors, you can do
perfect job yourself. Apply the ma

then bring the material around and

(From Mrs. F. B. w., LandoDer, Md.)
For Mrs. J.. c. H., Washington.
Golden Hamster (Mesocricetus Au-
ratus). History: Reports indicate
they were discovered in Syria in
1890 and brought to this country in
1898 where they have been extern
sively used as laboratory animals
similar to guinea pigs. Description:
A beautiful and highly fascinating
cage pet. In general it resembles

smaller. does not have any pro-
nounced stripes and has an ex-
tremely short tail. Eyes are black,
prominent and glistening and
smaller than a chipmunk's. Adults
weigh about 100 grams at an age of
10 weeks and are to inches long.
Fur is a beautiful golden brown to
deep golden red with white to gray
underneath body and dark markings
on neck and skull. Large. elongated
cheek pouches capable of carrying
enormous loads of food or nesting
materials. Life span about 2 years.
Actively inquisitive. Remarkably
free from disease. Clean. with no
smelly body odors. Not noisy. High
adaptability to both domestication
and laboratory usefulness. With
plenty of resting material, it can
withstand temperatures somewhat
below freezing, but temperatures be-
tween 10 and 20 degrees centigrade

thin sheet iron or l4-inch mesh
hardware cloth. Suggested dimen-
sions approximately inches long,
IS inches wide, 10 inches high.
Wood shavings on the floor are best,
but straw or paper can be used.
Feeding: Is no problem. They
eat small amounts of food. Feed

contain minerals and vitamins es-
sential to balance their diet. Break
fast cereals dry, toast, grains.
green vegetables, etc. should supple
ment. Have an excess of food avail
