Why Grow Old?
Place Lights Properly
By Josephine Lowmon

We often strain our eyes be-
cause of inadequate lighting with
out realizing it. Even though you
have enough light in watts, you
may still suffer strain because OF
the placement of the lights in your
room. was amazed to learn what
a difference this can make when
reading some literature our light
company gave me.
For instance. if you are sitting
in a chair in the living room or
library and have a floor lamp
behind you, it may be too far
away. The level of light on your
book or paper may be very low
You can triple the light on your
reading or sewing simply by NOV
ing the lamp closer. In general,
the lamp should not be more than
"a inches away from the seeing
task.
Reading in bed is a popular
pastime. Remember this same
principle. Wall pinup lamps are
popular. Such a lamp can make
a big difference if it is placed

Two women were discussing a
not-present third the other day.
One of them said. Honestly. those
company manners of hers! She
puts them on or leaves them of
Just like her newest hat"
Probably most of us could NOM
mate a dozen names to fill that
unlovely description! Why is it so
many people parade their good
manners only before company or
slight acquaintances when they are
the basis Of all gracious and
charming living? Only the best
manners are ever good enough
whenever there is even one person
present besides ones self!
All etiquette is habit. Even those
party" manners especially de-
signed for social gatherings, must
come as second nature to you If
you would appear poised and So
cially mature. Just to revitalize
your party precepts, take a run
through the following, tagging
each with "yes" or mo-"
Party Quiz.
I. A written invitation may be
acknowledged by telephone.
2. It is socially acceptable to ar
rive about 20 minutes later than
designated by the hostess.
3. At tea or reception. a lady
never removes her gloves.
4. Wraps should be removed be-
fore joining other guests.
5. It Is correct to interrupt a
conversation to say hello to some
one in the group.
s. # you want to join another
group, it is permissible to excuse
yourself.
Z. You should try to remember
the names of every one you meet.
8. It Is correct to refuse all re-
freshment If you aren't hungry.

at the right height on the wall.
If you can, always place 1t near
the corner of room because
both walls will reflect the light.
Reading in bed is a great luxury
but it comes at the end of q day
when many people have been US
ing their eyes strenuously all day
long, and strain at night would
be the last straw.
Do not use a strong spotlight
for night reading. You should have
a spread of light beyond the
pages of your book. The room
should have general lighting with
special emphasis on your close
work.
For reading in bed you can use
a wall lamp, table lamps or
fuorescent fixtures running the
width of the bed.
Be sure your lighting is right
and then please think Of your
poor neckline! Do not tuck your
chin into your neck unless you
are willing to pay the price in
deep lines. Bed rests are helpful.

Irritating
Practices
By AnqeIo Potri

We know that many OF the an
noying, even distressing things
children do are passing phases of
their growth. A child may play
truant-many do-and once the
experience has been tested, never
repeat it. Or he may repeat 1t. It
is the repetition Of the untoward
act that warns us Of the forma-
ton of bad habit and drives us
to find the cause of it.
inexperienced parents are likely
to stress one side of this problem
over the other. as when a mother
says, "Oh. he's only a child" and
lets the child run wild; or when
she says, HE can't be allowed to
get away with a single thing. I'm
after him every minute and when
he does what he shouldn't do I
attend to him" AS usual the best
way is the middle of the road.
Watchfulness, gentle and persist
ent leadership. correction and
control to the extent that the
middle way is held, will do the
best job.
When a little child kicks the
table while he eats his meals,
he should be checked. It is natural
for him to do this. He likes the
rhythm of the swinging foot. likes
the contact between his foot and
the wood and has no idea about
the value of tables. That is some
thing he must learn.
Try first to take his mind off
himself by speaking to him of
something that interests him.
That may hold him for a minute
and he may forget to kick the ia
BILE. Should he begin again, tell
him, you're kicking the table.
Nobody does that. You don't
want to do that" If in spite Of all
this he still kicks the table try
taking his shoes off and putting
soft slippers on his feet. Con-
tact with the hard table leg will
not be so pleasant then and the
reaction is likely to warn him
that he is doing what he should
not do. Then keep on trying to
direct his interests in another,
happier way. He is not to form
the habit Of kicking furniture. 1t
is natural for him to swing his
feet without regard to what they
/ hit but if he is allowed to kick
the table he will form an incon-
venient habit.
Pilfering is another annoying
habit young children are likely to
manifest. They take what they
want and they have no scruples
about it because they have no
sense of property, no moral stand
ards. These they must acquire
by experience. When a child does
this we ask him, did you ask
for it? DID you get permission to
use it?" If not, he must return
it. Usually a few such lessons
are sufficient to teach the child
respect for others belongings, es-
pecially if the same respect Is
shown him. But we must be on
guard to keep an unacceptable
phase from becoming an annoy
ing habit

6. No. Never leave any one

stantly working to improve your

Emily Post

A mother-to- be asks: MY hus-
band and I are separated. I don't
believe there ever can be recon-
ciliation. I'm going to have a
baby soon and don't want to send
Mr.. and Mrs. - announcements.
Do I just send them in my own
name and should it be as Mrs.
John - or Mrs. Anne -? Or
don't you think I should send
any?"
Answer: The original conven-
tional announcement would be
best. 1t was merely the mothers S
visiting card with the little card
for the baby tied to it, and did
not include the father. I think
this type of announcement would
emphasize the situation less than
in writing your name alone on
the ready-m made flll-in announce
ments.
Junior Bridesmaid
Dear Mrs. Post: At what age
is it proper for a girl to take part
in a wedding as a Junior brides
maid? Some one tells me you
have said from 7 to IA. But it
seems to me that a girl of or s
is too young to put in modified
copy of the bridesmaids dresses,
. Answer: It depends on the size
rather than the age of the child.
