Subtle Femininity Best Cure for Movie Inspired Youths Aping Cavemen BY MARTHA LEE HEAVEN has many offices to fill. It must help: the poor working girl; the sailors on a night like this; the rich man; the poor man; the country girl who falls into the clutches of one of “these yere” city “slickers,” the college graduate, the lad sent out to make his way in the world without an education. Oh, countless offices must heaven till! But what can heaven do about the girl who drew a cave-
man for a sweetheart ? Change him. That’s- one remedy. But sometimes he is lovable in spite of the “caveman” stuff, and then there must be some other recourse. What’s been responsible for all this caveman talk, anyway? I’m half inclined to believe the movies have a great deal to do with the caveman wave. They have glorified and praised hi: and made him look desirable until every youngster in his first long trousers thinks that the rough treatment is sure fire. Whatever it is, most of it is put on, anyway. And the least successful way to remedy things is to talk about it. You know, reform stuff. There are better and more feminine ways. Subtle treatment, that’s what the cavemen need. Hurt eyes and trembling lips would quelch him quicker and more thoroughly than any picture of offended femininity you can ever imagine. Here’s a letter from a poor little girl who drew one of these psuedocavemen. She says: Dear Martha Lee—Do ebls In general like these cavemen? My boy friend says if people don’t like the way he acts, he doesn’t Rive a care. He Is the same way with me. Do you think he is just trying to make me believe he is "tough?” He also has a rough-way of talking to me. Is there anything I can do to make him change? I heard that women marry men to mother or be a pal to them. What do men marry women for? BOOTS. I printed the last part of the letter as significant of your youth, my dear. Women marry men to have a home and children and protection and men marry -women when they caiJiot have them any other way. As to your caveman, either change your diet for a while or blink your eyes at him every time he says rough things too you, pucker up your lips and let the tears just come to the corner of your eyes, but never, never, under any condition, let them splash over on your cheeks. That would spoil all the good work. Martha J.—There is a lesson to you to always give your friends the benefit of the doubt. Just be nice to him and show him that you are sorry for believing what another had told you. Indiana Branch of W. C. T. U. to Convene Tuesday The young people’s branch of the W. C. T.

Needs Training in Baby Days
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Infancy is a period of education that may be considered of even greater importance than any of the plastic years that follow’. The first sensations that the baby absorbs by touch, taste, or hearing, are pioneers of habits. The old saw about sowing an act and reaping a habit, sowing a habit and reaping a character, sowing a character and reaping a destiny, is particularly true of babyhood. A baby soon knows the things that give him comfort and pleasure. His demand for these things may become inordinate, but on the other hand probably the things he wants are the things he should have. Schedule Beneficial The wise mother will see that the baby’s life is run on a scedule that supplies what he needs when he needs it, thereby avoiding the very* beginnings of selfishness, tantrums, jealousy, or shame. It is amazing how the latter develops in babies a few months old. Shame is an elemental characteristic and is one of the first emotions aroused. In it are the seeds of inferiority ‘complex that lead to neuresthenia and all sorts of character distortions in later life. Never laugh at a baby—or tease him. Harsh punishments have no place in a baby’s life. He is not born with a sense of right or w'rong. He has to be taught what is right and what is wrong. The way to teach him is not by punishing him when he does something that irritates you, but by I guiding him in another way, patiently and repeatedly. Perhaps he throws something down. Part of his normal development, one of his earliest gestures, is to seize things and throw them to the floor. How Fear Grows A baby spoken to crossly or ! punished in some other way w’ill I develop such fear of his parents or those whe care fer him that not only his health may be affected but in time he may become so dominated by fear that he will become morose and sullen. It is normal for him to cry part of the time. Don’t punish him for crying. A baby whose wants are anticipated, whose food agrees with him, and who is well and comfortable, will not cry much. Eut all babies exercise their lungs by crying part of each day. If crying becomes a habit a parent should ask, "What am I doing, or not doing, that is not right?” It should not be blamed on the baby. A sick or suffering baby must be treated with the utmost kindness, care and patience. Attica Girl Engaged. Announcement has been made of the engagement of Miss Mary Ellen Martin, daughter of Mrs. Jessie Martin, Attica, to E. Arvo Lehti, St. Louis, Mo. The wedding will take place Sept. 1.
