Looks Are Deceiuing

The big boy, the big girl, is often
misused because people think that
height and weight spell maturity.
and that is not so. Children of 13
have grown to height of feet,
some 14-year-olds weigh as much
and more than their fathers, or
their teachers. Children in the sew
enth grade tower over their teach
ers and cannot fit themselves into
the benches provided for their grade.
They are growing up, growing, not
settling into maturity.
Children grow unevenly and few
Of them grow at the same rate or
during the same years of their lives.
Some times their mental power
shows growth far beyond their physi-
cal expansion, and the other way
about, so it is usually a great mis-
take to expect maturity according
to height and weight and say to a
6-footer who has just hidden a
lollypop in his desk. "A great big
fellow like you, man, wanting a
lollypop." He may not only want
it, he may actually need it.

By Josephine Lo,Oman

I have new hobby. I am try
ing to be as diverting and pleasant
as possible to the salesladies who
wait on me. For instance, the other
day I went to a counter where
window shades are sold and are cut
to the correct width. I suggested
to the girl behind the counter that
she could put on her own show with
that machine, saving women in
two. She seemed highly diverted
by the idea and looked at me as
though I might be likely subject.
Then asked her if pressing down
on the lever all day long with the
right hand did not make the right
arm larger than the left. She said,
Indeed it does. I have worried
about it." I suggested that she
could just as well push with the left
hand part of the time. She seemed
grateful and said she hadn't thought
of it before, but she could do so.
I am finding this most gratify-
ing hobby. The salesladies who are
naturally pleasant and interested
and cooperative seem to appreci-
ate this attitude and the others
provide amusement because I make
game of seeing If I can break
their antagonism down. I have
found a few tough nuts to crack,
out most of them weaken, sooner
or later.
I thought of this hobby for two
reasons. In the first place, I use

Fragrant Finery

There's something about the fra
grant finery Of perfume that scarce
ly woman can resist, not to men,
ton the gentlemen! Easter gives us
a good excuse to splurge on a bit
of perfume finery that We might
otherwise resist. Somehow that
touch of fragrance lends just the
right touch to that new costume
1t completes the picture and cinches
the success of your parade on Easter
day.
The reason for many new per-
fumes, and the excited talk about
them this spring, is the fact that
back to the market have come a
lot Of those rare oils which make
perfumes the long-lingering, fra
grant liquids that they're supposed
to be. Many of these oils are i'm
ported so, during the war, substi-
tutes were called upon to do the job,
and did it very we'll But, in the
same way that imported flowers are
making prettier Easter bonnets this
spring, SO these imported oils are
making the lovelier perfumes once
again.
Last week in New York a new per-
fume was ushered in to the tune
OF great fanfare and glamorous
doings. The manufacturers called
upon the goddesses of Greek myth
ology to serve up the name of the
new perfume. Muse" it was chris
tened. A number of the leading
designers designed costumes rep

Why Grow Old?

it as a self-defenSe. Most of us
thought that as soon as the war
was over all the deadheads would
be Immediately weeded out and
shopping again would become pleas
ant. When we found this was not
true it was more than ever irritat-
ing to us. I decided to change my
attitude rather than fray my nerve
ends in the winds of irritation.
Then, too, We, the public, suffered
from so much rudeness and ineffi-
cheney while employees were so hard
to get that we have developed
an antagonistic attitude ourselves
toward those who wait on us. It
hardly seems fair to let this atti-
tude cause us to be unappreciative
toward many of the men and women
who were courteous all through the
war, and toward the newcomers who
are doing their best.
I imagine that the persons be-
hind the counter had a hard time,
TOO, during war days for the pub
lie as whole was subject to war
strains. And worry makes tempers
short and causes the outlook to be
warped.
There are lots of hobbies in hu-
man experience which pay bigger
dividends than making clay pigeons
or painting china. I believe you
will find these especially satisfying.

bies to help make human experience
easier and happier, send them to me

of that they are cross, unco-opera-
tive, disorderly.
Then, too, people expect grown-up
behavior from them because they
are adult size. "A big girl like you.
I'm astonished. Crying over a doll.
I gave it to your little cousin. You'd
outgrown it and had no use for it.
You're just being dog-in-the-man-
ger and you should be ashamed OF
yourself"
"A great hulk like you wanting
to sit next to your mother instead
of letting Marie sit there. When
you wear a mans suit you ought to
behave like a man, not a baby"
Please don't take this attitude to
the overgrown children. They are
still little children in many ways.
In time they will grow into full
maturity of body and mind and
spirit but just at this stage they
are long and short and middling
in many ways, and very uncomfort-
able.
Deal gently with them. Shelter
their weaknesses. They are in need
of love. guidance, sympathy and
sustaining discipline now more than
they ever have been, and more than
they ever will be again. Children's
power cannot be measured in terms
of height and weight. Growth of
all kinds must be seasoned before
it can be matured and used and
that requires time and experience

Not long ago in this column I
discussed one of the pet gripes of
wives, which is being married to
bookWorms. 1t appears that the
Little Woman rates the reading
habit among the major domestic
sins, and that there is no fault that
a husband can commit that gets
so badly upon her nerves as for him
to bury himself in book of an
evening when he is at home, instead
of engaging in sprightly conversa-
ton about the baby having cut her
teeth and what the neighbors next
door are doing.
The strong, silent man may be a
romantic figure in novels and the
films, but he makes no hit in the
family circle. During the day, while
they have gone about their house
work, women have had all the COM
munion with their own souls that
they want, and they are yearning for
companionship. They want some
body who will talk back to them and
not just emit an occasional grunt
from behind newspaper.
Being as how wives belong to the
sex that is enamoured CT the sound
of the human voice and that there
has to be give and take to keep con-
yersation going, it is not surprising
that women resent their husbands
being more interested in what they
are reading than in what they are
being told, and that they can get
just as green-eyed over the heroine
in a novel as they can over a flesh
and blood blonde.
But it appears that men are as
anergic to the reading habit in
their mates as woman are, and
have just received letter from an
unfortunate gentleman, united to a
female bookworm, who demands

woman who reads all the time and

she doesn't even hear me, and after
I have repeated it about five times,

sauce for the gander, and men no
more enjoy spending an evening at

Many man starts to roaming in
search of the companionship that
his wife does not give him. For
every man is bound to have some
woman to whom he can tell the
things he could never tell to another
man; to whom he can boast of his
triumphs and on whose shoulder he
can weep when things 60 wrong;
who will laugh at his jokes and
listen to his twice-told tales. and
who will lend her ears and give
him the glad hand.
And the woman who would rather
read than talk practices none of
these arts. Maybe that is why men
are not so keen about bookworms
