ter In mind. we'd suggest you do a
little delving into the background of
the people you'll be sitting for. The
qualification angle works both ways,
you know.
Sitting, of course, doesn't entail a
sgay evening" but as the gals We
spoke to claim. all Is not lost. Hav-
ing ones friends in on a~"share the
work" plan won't be received too
kindly by your employees and in some
cases the child may require your un-
divided attention. However, some
experience with children and sound
Judgment should see you through,
and the financial reimbursement is
not to be sneezed at. Especially
with fall not too far away. sitting
would probably provide you with
ample capital for a new wardrobe
or other purchases.
AS We see it, no two jobs will be
quite the same. which should prove
interesting. You may find yourself
with time on your hands on one job
when you'll have nary dull mo-
ment on another. We heard of one
case where the little gal called her
employers in desperation, declaring
that the other kids in the park were
chasing her two charges all over the
place, and what was she to do? This,
however, seems to be the exception
you'll probably find a good book or
homework will help vile away the
hours.

Dorothy Dix Says

Dear Miss Dix: I have a very
looking husband who has a
rowing eye for the opposite sex, and
would like to ask you If I am doing
right when I literally throw girls at
his head. When he particularly ad-
mires one, have her at the house
morning, noon and night, and after
few weeks he is so disguised he
tells me not to have her any more
1t goes on like this first with one
and then another, but there is moth
ing serious about it. My husband
and I never quarrel over his firta-
tions.
What do you think about my
method? M. H.
Answer-You are wise in giving
your husband an overdose of your
rivals instead of trying to keep
him away from them. Forbidden
fruit is sweet and forbidden women
alluring. The chief attraction that
the other woman has is that hus-
band sees her at distance, instead

wife. Let him live under the same
roof with her and see how she looks
at breakfast when she isn't dolled
up. Let him have to listen to hours
Of her conversation. Let him find
out her peculiarities of temper and
temperament. and he finds out that
she isn't so charming as the wife
he has.
AS long as you can keep your
husbands philandering a joke it will
never develop into a serious love
affair. I have known many wives

The Young Idea

We've Just been talking to some
teen-age "businesswomen" who like
their work, and are putting their
earnings to work, to boot. The par
ticular gals we spoke to are "sitters, :"
taking care Of offspring while par
ents have fun. One, ID. student
at Gordon Junior High School, finds
the deal right good" She's de-
veloped a knack with babies through
contact with those in her own
neighborhood. and caring for them
as part of her job is no trouble at
all. She changes the baby's diaper,
feeds the baby and then puts it to
bed. Once, when two older girls
were her charges on a particular
evening, they listened to the radio
and talked. The lady of the house
furnished her with a list of written
instructions before she left-making
for efficiency on both sides. Nights
when our sitter's charges are bedded
in, she amuses herself by writing
letters. She finds the pay most
ample-and plans to buy school
clothes with it.
Another teen-ager We spoke to is
a young lady of Is. of Arlington, a
student at Washington and Lee
High School. Parents for whom she
has sat" have given her instruc-
tions as to how to contact them, and
other pertinent information in case
OF emergency They also supplied
her with instructions in the care of

WARNING:
AFRICAN VIOLETS.
TOLE TRAYS,

From Mrs. E. D. R., Arlinetonl
I wonder if other readers realize
how plentiful ticks are this summer?
Recently, my husband and I drove
out to the Mount Vernon Memorial
highway and stopped for picnic in
the parkway adjoining the highway.
After We got home we found tick
we had evidently carried home IN
our clothing or in the blanket we
sat on.
A couple of weeks later We went
out for another picnic in the same
general vicinity. That time we
watched for ticks, believing the
other had come from there. While
We were there, We saw four ticks
and tried our best to kill them
They are almost impossible to kill
I hope other readers will be care
full when they picnic. I'm sure
they want to guard against tick bites
and the risk of getting Rocky Noun
tain spotted fever

the baby. In her. experience. her
job has pretty much consisted of
just plain sitting. and she reads to
pass the time. Sometimes. in the
case of very small children, she
finds her charge put to bed already
when she arrives. Her pay? It pays
for lessons in ballroom dancing.
We asked a veteran who runs an
agency locally what he demands in
his sitters. He says the gal must be
dependable-and also, home eco
nomics course, or practical expert
ence with brother Johnny or sister
Susie on the side will help. Work
in the local nurseries is also a good
basic course" Sixteen seems to be
the average minimum age for sit
ters, but younger gals sometimes fill
the bill, depending on their matur-
lty. Four hours a night Is the usual
stint. Parents see to 1t that the sit
ters are either sent safely on their
way home, or are taken home
AS well as just plain sitting, par
ents of younger children OCCASION
ally ask the sitter to prepare lunch,
bottles, change diapers, or read
stories to their offspring. In the
case of lunch, instructions on cook
ing will probably be left.
It's possible to become attached to
a local university sitter service, and
of course, you can always do work

who were faced with your problem
and who solved it happily for all
concerned by turning it into a merry
jest.
Most men really think their wives
are the finest women in the world.
When they f1irt, it is just to amuse
themselves with new and pretty
face, and then they want to go
back home to mother. There are a
lot of things in married life that a
woman does we'll to laugh off instead
of making them into a tragedy, and
chief among these Is her husband S

THUMB SUCKING.

DISH GARDENSo

From Mrs. N. II. S., Washington.
This in reply to the thumb-suck-
ing problem. My baby did this up
until the age of year and I cured
her of it accidentally. Her thumb
had become badly infected by the
constant sucking and something
had to be done to prevent her from
putting the thumb In her mouth.
SO I just wrapped couple of ad-
hesive bandages securely around it.
I left them on for week changing
them quite oftenD. BY that time
the sore was healed and to my sur
prise she no longer sucked her
thumb. I'm sorry I didn't know
of this device for my first baby as
he is over now and still hasn't
outgroWn the habit.
Does any one know of a good
method for cleaning white kid
gloves?
Could some one give me directions
for making dish gardens similar to
the ones seen in florists windows?
l don't understand about drain

If at all possible, take along a play
pen. 1t isn't too cumbersome, and
baby can play and also nap in it.,
if it contains good pad. Please
watch that baby doesn't get too
much sun at any one outing, as I've

they'd been baked" Their tender
skin can't stand what an adults can.
From Miss H. M. S., Arlinqton.)
My nephew went to the shore for
the first time last summer at the
same age as your daughter. He was
put in his play pen, which was
placed under the shade of beach
umbrella. A short -sleeved shirt was
always kept on him, as the direct
rays of the sun and the reflection
from the hot sand are too strong for

the mothers. In my own school
each mother participates one morn
ing week, usually driving a group
of children to school on this day.
The value of this arrangement is
manifold. In the schoolroom a
mother can learn much about her
own chllds behavior problems bv
comparison with other children and
obtain semiprofessional insight
into the best ways to encourage the
child in his development. This is
supplemented by study group dis
cussion and by individual confer
ences with the teacher. The child
gains the usual advantages of nur-
sery school, self reliance, the ability
to play harmoniously with other
children, etc, plus the added Sc
curlty of having his mother a vital
part OF this new experience at a
time when his dependence of mother
Is still very great Mothers and
children share their experience; it

both mother and child. The kin
dergarten child, in addition to the
above, receives the usual advan-
tages OF modern, progressive kin
dergarten education to better pre-
pare him for the important step of
entrance into the competitive world
Of the public school. The fees
charged by the co-operatives are
extremely low, putting them within
the financial reach of those who
cannot easily afford a good private
nursery school or kindergarten. OF
course the mothers must be willing
to make up for this in time and
effort if they want a first-rate
school-and we all do. May I add
the somewhat obvious fact that by
the very nature of the enterprise
it Is impossible for the cooperative
school to enroll children of working
mothers. Also our own school and
most OF those with which am IA
miliar, are halliday schools oper-
ating from 8 to IL, Mondays through
Fridays.

from D. G., WASHINGTON. J


Mrs. A. L. r.; I think you would
never be sorry for sending your
child to private school. He, with
his experience gained from two
years of kindergarten, would easily
make new friends, though separated
from his usual playmates. Urge
your husband to visit, with you,
some of the better pay schools. Un-
der special attention your son, prob
ably brighter than average from
previous education, would progress
quickly. This progress may help
him to skip grade, thence prevent
ing him from being larger than
those in his grade. being larger
than their classmates seems prob
lem to younger children.)
l hope you will consider my ad-
vice, but whatever you do, don't let
your son waste his time until jan
uary!

SCHOOL, FOR CHILD

from Mrs. H. r. M, Arlinqton.)
I was very much interested in the
item by Mrs. A. S. Washington, re-
garding cooperative nursery schools,
and for the information of parents
in Arlington I would like to add
some information regarding our
schools. There ARE cooperative
nursery schools in Arlington and
also in Alexandria and Fairfax
Counties We also have cooperative
kindergartens which fill very vital
need. as the State of Virginia does
not have public kindergartens. AS
most enthusiastic participant in
one such school I can heartily in
dorse my particular school and the
general principles on which all SINH
lar schools function.
For the information of any inter-
ested person who did not read the

given by her. Cooperative schools
