He is the careful sort vino studies

That attitude sends Peter back
to school in a state Of darkness
He cannot work along the lines
his father sets. and his father will
not agree that the line his son
follows easily and successfully is
worthwhile. The boy cannot
change and his father won't

your field. You'll be famous in it
some day
Peter drew a long breath and
whispered to the teacher, Gee. I
wish my father could see me now" !"
He was wishing his father could
see him as the fine boy he was,
as the gifted scientist he certainly
was going to be, but he knew that
was not to be. Ee would have to
make his way without fatherly
announcement or help.
Fathers lose so much of life's JOY
when they behave that way to-
ward their children. A little COM
mon sense would save so much
heartache and failure. Life could
not 60 on very we'll if all men fol-
lowed a certain pattern, and ma
ture wisely prohibits it. Each
child is born into the world with
his peculiar inheritance. He is
unique. He must be himself to
be successful.
Fathers would be wise to accept
the child they have and make the
most of him. He did not choose
his gift. His ancestors-among
them his father-did that for him
years and years before he was
born, and nature did the rest.
The idea to follow here is to
make the best possible child out
of what the boy has within him.
If that is done-and nobody ever
has yet achieved it fully-any IA
ther. any mother may we'll be
content. The parents will have a
highly successful child. But he
will not be exactly like his father.

Old?
By Josephine Lowman

like to pass On TO my readers
some Of the information and train
ing which is given to pupils at the
Harry Conover caree~ girl school.
While they do lot with person.
ality development they also give
attention to figure and style, hair
dressing, makeup and voice.
The following is called "the two
in-one' exercise. 1t is used for
spot reducing when the waistline
and the hips are too large. This
is the way you do it. 1t is a favor
ite!
Lie on the floor on your back.
Keep your arms on the floor and
close to your body, bend them at
the elbows. and place your finger
tips on your shoulders. Keep your
arms in this position as you roll
to your left hip and then to your
right. Keep the back and shoul-
ders as fiat on the floor as pos
sible.
Pupils are advised to do this
exercise at least 20 times every
night and they are delighted with
the results. Mr.. Conover is firm
believer in losing inches through
exercise and pounds through q
carefully planned reducing diet.
Why Grow Old's?" addition:
After doing the exercise for a while
this way you can execute it with
the feet off the floor and the
knees half bent, knees pointing
toward the ceiling. This gives
some variety and a little differ
ent pressure. Do it both ways
each night. Bargains in exercise,
those which correct two figure
faults with one motion. are always
valuable and this one Sims both
the hips and the waist.
Don't forget that back of all love-
ly figures. especially after early
youth, you will find a background
of self discipline and exercise.
If you would like to have my
exercise routine for taking inches
from your hip. measurement
within a few weeks time. SEND a
stamped. self-addressed envelope
with your request for leaflet No. 8

LIVING ABROAD?
(From r. D. c., FatrtdrD


My husband Is planning to study
in Southern France, either in Nice
or Biarritz under the GI bill and
we shall be abroad for approx
mately two years. We have a
child, S years of age. Have any
of you readers been abroad under
these circumstances recently? If
they can help me with information
I shall be deeply grateful. What
I would like to know is the type
and quantity of clothes we would
need; whether the food abroad Is
sufficiently diversified for a grow
ing child; whether dental and
medical care are adequate: the age
at which French children start
school; the rate of exchange, etc.
We have been subject to so many
casual half-truths that we are
hesitating to make the trip. Our
chief concern is the welfare of
our child. If we were assured that
she would be properly housed and
fed there would be no problem.
She is a very healthy child, but
like most American children she
has a checkup at her pediatrician
every six months and I doubt that
this would be continued abroad.

NIGHT BOTTLE.

(From r. NJ, WnshingtonD
In answer to C. M. Y: There
are no rules or regulations about
how or when to stop the night
bottle for a baby. For example, my
baby was ready for her four-meal
schedule at months. But that is
nothing to give the mother credit
for. It's entirely up to the baby
If a young baby, cries, it should
not be ignored. iAis not as if the
baby could be capable of thinking,
Now I'll cry. because I want to
annoy my parents" The best ad-
vice could give any mother is to
get a pocketbook edition of DR.
Benjamin Spock's Baby and Child
Care" 1t costs only 35 cents. is the
best friend and adviser any
mother could have. I hope it will
help you to understand your baby
rs it has helped me.

RELIGIOUS BOOKS ,

From f. D. NJ, Arl1ngtonJ s
For F. A. M. Arlington: IN
reply to F. A. M. regarding re-
Iigious books, and inspira tional
ones in general, may suggest the
two daily devotional booklets put
out by the Baptists and by the
Methodists? The Upper Room
(Methodistl and the Secret
Place" (Baptist). Also Streams in
the Desert" by Mrs. Cowman.
Lately in looking over some OF
the pocket books I found one
called Things to Live By" This
particular book is a Perma-Book.
So many of these books are moth
ing much but trash. but once in a
while a gem is found among them.
I believe Things to Live By is IN
the gem class.

ANSWERS TO QUERIES.


(Fron, Mrs. E. W. E., Chevy ChaseJ
Lamp shades-After trying
many lamp shops in the city. ]
found the owner of such a shop
on Dupont Circle which offered
to have the frames I wanted made
for me. The frames were inexpen-
sive. The wire frame should be
wrapped very smoothly and firmly
with tape about half an inch wide.
A pattern of half the shade may
be made by pinning cloth smoothly
to top wire. then drawing it
tightly and pinning to bottom and
side wires. Mark carefully at these
four edges.
On the lining enough allowance
Is made at top and bottom to allow
for bringing material over these
wires to the outside. Between top
and bottom edges the lining is
slightly smaller than the frame
30 that it will stand away from the
wires.
Allowance on both lining and
covering must be made for the
very narrow French seams at each
side.
The lining is put on first. pin
ming as for pattern, then sewing
firmly to top and bottom. In the
same way, the outside is put on.
A narrow bias fold is blind slip
stitched to cover side seams Of
outside. Either bias folds or trim
ming cover the stitches on top and
bottom edges of shade.
Care must be taken to avoid
pricking fingers on the many pins
used to hold material. A damp
cloth kept at hand usually proves
adequate to take out any spots.
Re drop-leaf table-A few years
ago reproductions of the tables
with long drop leaves were made
in both mahogany and maple. I
do not know If they still are being
made. A very nice maple one with
q center section rs inches wide is
available at mail order firm on
Thirteenth street. Of course. the
old ones are available at antique
shops and recently saw one ad-
vertised in the classified section.
I have seen tables of unfinished
wood that might answer the need
for a large table that fits into a
small space.
