Child's Bedtime
BY A neeio Pafri

Bedtime is dreaded in some homes
because it means battle with the
children. Few children. if let to
themselves, choose to go to bed. They
are keenly interested in what goes
on about them and reluctant to miss
any of it. II they can prolong their
stay they will do so by one way or
another.
Some children rebel against sleep,
do what we will. They fight fatigue
until it overcomes them and they
lose control of themselves and have
tantrums, weeping and stamping
spells and cannot know what they
want.
Other children dodge bedtime and
hope mother forgets to look at the
clock. Even five minutes is precious.
When mother reminds them, they
take as long as possible to put away
their belongings. They have to be
prodded along until they reach the
bathroom. That is child nature and
we have to consider it and deal with
it. The main thing Is to get them
to bed in as good mood for sleep
as possible, at the least cost to the
weary mother.
Getting a tired child to bed Is q
trial so wise mothers try to see that
this does not happen too often
Tired a child must be If he is to vel
come sleep but oyer-tatigue drives
away sleep. 1t requires q nice judg-
ment to stay in the middle of the
road and give child enough exer-
else to make him glad to rest, but
not give him so much that he cannot
control himself. Experience will
guide in that situation. Each child
differs from the other and all do not
have the same rhythms of sleep and
activity. Mothers soon learn what Is
the best way to deal with each one.
All children require long hours
of restful sleep. 1t is precious to their
growth and health. When it comes
time for rest, the first thing to do
is to set the mood for 1t. An excited
child engaged in play will not be in
mood for bed. He must be quieted
in mind and body first. The mother

Millions of women spend billions
of dollars in their attempt to be
made beautiful. If it achieves its
purpose, it is money well spent, for
it is every Woman's Christian duty
to be as easy on the eyes as circum-
stances permit. And the magicians
who plant roses on sallow cheeks
and turn stringy mouse-colored hair
into golden curls have made con-
tribution to the sweetness and light
Of life for which we beholders can
not be too grateful.
But when I read the daily beauty
columns in the papers and maga-
zines that tell how by watching their
diets and counting their calories,
taking knee exercises or rolling on
the floor the ugly ducklings can
change themselves into glamorous
swans, I marvel that the high priests
and priestesses of the beauty cult
never give their clients the one tip
that really will work and get re-
suits.
And that is to spend as much time
and effort in furnishing up their
souls as they do in acquiring girlish
figure. For, after all, beauty is a
thing Of the mind as well as of the
flesh. But you never hear of a
high-tempered woman having the
wrinkles massaged out of her dispo-
sition or of a peevish and fretful one
spending good money to have hel
spirits lifted. Yet If they did, what
q furor it would create among theil
friends! How they would wonder
what Sally had done that made he,
suddenly look sweet and pretty! How
they would try to find out what
magic pill or potion had made Mary
a gay young girl again!
II this seems q fantastic theory
think what constitutes beauty tt
you and me. 1t isn't classical fea'
lures. 1t isn't Greek profile, colder
hair or a peaches-and-cream com
plexion. 1t isn't even violet eyes
1t Is something in a woman's fac,
that bespeaks lovely character
something that comes from the hear
and not out of jars and bottles.
No amount of mascara, eye shadow
and false lashes can make beautiful
the eyes that are cold and hard ane
cruel. You can paint cupid's bow
,on a mouth with lipstick, but 70,
can't make it kissable unless 1t il
soft and quirked with love.
| Then there Is intelligence, withou
which there can be no real beauty
At most. there can only be the fleet
ing prettiness Of extreme youth tina
