Children do not cry without
cause. They may seem to do SO
at times, but that Is because the
cause is hidden from them. and
from their mothers. i would not
take continual crying lightly but
investigate it to learn why it
seems necessary to the child to
keep crying for help. He needs,
or wants, help for some reason
or other and we must learn the
reason before we. can help him
or ourselves.
Most reasons for crying are
easy enough to discover. A child
is wet. or cold. or too warm; he
is hungry. or tired. or both: he
feels the need for affectionate
attention; he wants something to
do. When his needs are met he
stops crying.
OF course. we teach him that
crying won't get him anything. II
he is old enough to ask for what

FickIe Fashion Isn't Always So FickIe, at That!

1t has been a long time
howl" that American dress
manufacturers no sooner put
a good item on the market
then of 1t goes.
SuppoSing you like a certain
dress style? Suppose you want
to buy that style again another
year? Most likely you won't
be able to because it no longer
will be on the market.
So? Your shopping is a
failure, you blame the garment
industry for being so stupid,
and you resign yourself to
buying something else. BUT,
there's still an undercurrent OF
dissatisfaction underneath 1t
all.
When designers do some
thing about remedying the
situation by letting a good de-
sign stand on its merits longer
than Just one season, we feel
they ought to have it publi-
cized. We know OF a great
many American designers, in
cluding Carolyn Schnurer,
Claire McCardell, Tina Lesser
and Vera Maxwell-moSt OF
whom you recognize as lead
ing American designers-who
manage to retain an item or
two that has proved itself
from another season and in
clude it, or a variation OF 1t,
in their new seasons cOllec-
ton. This is probably one
reason why they all enjoy an
enduring place in American
design.
Frances Slider is another
lady who believes that a good
thing" lives longer than just
one season. Pictured are her
"sea mates" that are perfect
for sailing, summing, swimming
and general wear. The bath

(available locally) boast a
buckled adjustable cuff at the
top of the elasticized fitted
bodice.

Do You Long To Return To The
old Home Tom? Both You
And 1t Have Changed
With The Years

In the evenings as the cold closes
in upon the house the talk drifts
sometimes from great plans for
tomorrow to yesterdays-to names
Of old friends and places, to old
adventures and escapades. If there
are children there on the floor they
viii not mind when adults begin to
exchange "reminiscences, because
after a good dinner it is not likely
that when / was a boy" stories
will contain sermons on thrift or
behavior as they sometimes do. It
IS In these mellow moments the
young discover that fathers and
mothers were not always tiresome
and full of negations and were
not always infallible, but once
were very young too, and foolish,
and broke arms and windows Just
like other people. AS the talk
spins out we may wish that we
might go back sometime to those
places Of pleasant-Or unpleasant
memory just to see whether or
not the old landmarks are still
there.
It brings to mind pictures of an
old high school with an auditorium.
with its rows Of numbered seats.

He who goes back to his home
town after an absence of manv
years may find that the high school
from which he was graduated has
been turned into a grade school
and that a new high school now
stands where once was a large
vacant lot on which cowboys and
Indians fought or where knights in
shining armor galloped into battle
Drandishing shields made from the
tops OF trash cans. The grade
school, with its dark, oily floors
and caVernous Railways, NAV have
disappeared.
The new high school will have a

may stir memories of luncheons

and tin boxes smelling of apples,
oranges, bananas and peanut but

books and school library and the
new laboratories, carpentry shop
and vast gymnasium may wonder
whether or not the children hurry
ing through the cleaning halls ap-
preciate these things, and this will
be the same thought his parents
had when he entered the high
school building that is now a grade
school.
He who returns to his home town
after seeking his fortune elsewhere
may find that he is almost a

so well. Perhaps at the drug store

may turn and ask, "Say, aren't you
?" and there will be a hand
shaking and an account of ones
self rendered. A truck may stop,
the Visltant's name called, and the
hand clasped in warm RECOGNITION.
The fat boy who was an Indifferent
scholar is now the town fuel dealer
and the captain Of the volunteer
tire department besides. There is
stout lad on the seat with him
who looks much like that indiffer-
ent scholar of another day who
played the tuba in the high school
band, and the truck driver saws
without needing to, that this is his
son.

to meet the total requirements. A
good rental project in which Ne

rents are scaled to prevailing in

to demonstrate the existence of a

building of additional housing in
