There are landlords who will not
take families with children. Sum-
mer boarding houses often refuse to
take children. Parents. of young
children find it difficult to 60 any,
where away from home overnight
when the children are along, as they
must be.
The people who refuse to take
children into their houses or bust
ness places do SO because they have
had some bitter experiences with
children and their parents. A man
owned a large and expensive apart
ment house and he, liking children,
made no rules excluding them. The
halls were cleaned and new burlap
hung on them, an expensive job.
The landlord was inspecting the
new job when a lady with her g.
year -old son started down the stairs
The small boy had an icepick in his
hand and to the dismay of the
owner, jabbed it into the walls as
he passed Look, look. what he is
doing" exclaimed the landlord.
"Oh, well, don't get so excited
about your walls. After all, he Is
only a child. What do you expect?
We pay rent enough"
Such people are rare, but they
do appear now and then and leave
scars aon the minds of those who
meet them. They make things
difficult for people who have we'll
behaved, well-trained children.

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Loyman

~ OCE PpsWG AOWUWU
1t seems to me the following letter
which has come to me from q
reader should provide inspiration te
women who are too ensconced In
fat for comfort and who long for
their girlish figures but procrasti-
nate about investing energy in
making that dream come true.
Dear Mrs. Lowman: About a
year ago started In on your
reducing routine. My bust meas
ured IS, waist ~, hips 81. My
measurements today are, bust IS
waist 80. hips 80. I am still over
weight at l55 pounds and intend
to bring my waist to % inches and
my hips to So.
MY husband says that reducing
has made a new woman out of me
I know it has made him more in
terested in me and that is what
counts. 1t has also given me new
outlook on life. I have changed
my taste in clothes, changed my
hair-do and take more interest in
cosmetics. guess it really changes
q woman inside and out.
IT really believe my husband is
more proud of my reduction than
/ am. I 60 out with him a great
deal now and on several occasions
people have not recognized me and
thought he was out with some one
else.
Thank you so much"
Doesn't that give your spirit q
lift. When reading this letter we
can almost see the metamorphosis
Of a seh-conscious. overweight
woman, who felt older than she
should, as she recaptures vital, ro-
mantle life and regains her self
assurance.
I have always known that the size
Of the waistline can have a far
reaching effect on happiness and
that overweight and an unattractive
appearance can change a woman's
entire personality and her outlook
on life. The woman who has
neglected herself often finds herself
in a vicious circle.
Whether her neglect has given
her protruding abdomen and large
shelflike hips, or changed her girlish
figure into a matronly one, or aged
her face, makes little difference!
If she feels that she is not at
tractive she is likely to lose interest
in clothes and grooming and make
up and thus further neglect herself
Naturally, all of this is reflected
in her thought, her attitudes TOWARD
people and life, her posture ano
her personality!
II you have figure handicap.
which are making you look oldel
and feel older why not rid yourself
of them?
The following is effective for the
inner leg and the thighs: Lie or
your back with your legs straight
and your arms resting on the floor
Make large circles with the left leg
When tired rest left leg and circle
with the right.
II you wish to have my routine

CHINA PAINTING.
From Mrs. D. F. L., Cottage
C{tu. Md

For Mrs. j. r. w, Silver Spring
China painting is done on china
ware which is made especially for
that purpose. So far as / have been
able to learn, it is not made in
America and is consequently very
scarce just now
The paints are obtained in powder
form and are mixed as used with a
medium prepared from mixture of
balsam or copaiba. oil or tar, and
oil of lavendar; or mixture of fat
oil Of turpentine and oil of cloves.
Most designs require two coats OF
paint, each of which requires a
firing. There are still a few places
in town where china is fired and
where one may get instructions.
BY writing to w. A. Maurer Co
3l6 West Grand avenue, Chicago, Ill.
one may obtain a catalog of ma
terials and instruction books on
china painting and other art work
