Uniforms Advocated for Pupils • BY MARTHA LEE If you happen to be the parents of children between the ages of 6 and 16. you will understand that a great deal of their happiness and peace of mind depends upon the fact that their homes, their toys, their books, their clothes and their -urroundings are similar to those the other children with whom ihey come in contact. In spite of the fact that we rant round about individuality and : hances for self-expression, we are pretty much the lesult of the age m which we live—a machine age, t age of standardization. Self-ex- ■. res si on and individuality belong to •he boys and girls who have become men and women. The children want ■ one of it. If makes them unhappy, '■lf-conscious and gives them an uncomfortable feeling of being conspicuous. That is why divorce in a family v orks most of its havoc on the younger children. They dislike the idea that their family unit is different from the family units of their little friends. It makes them feel inferior that they have no fathers who come home at night, as other children do. They want a coat “like Mary's” or a pencil box “like Johnny’s” or a scooter “like Junior’s.” They, if none of the rest of us do, feel a need for having things .past exactly like other peoples. It gives them points of contact, mutual interests and, I suppose most important of all, makes them feel equal to their acquaintances. Silly to Adults It sounds silly to adults, whose sole aim and desire in life is to be different from their neighobrs and friends. Nothing pleases them quite so much, or buoys up their sagging spirits quite so rapidly as having someone tell them they are different” from other people. In fact, that is the height of flattery in the minds of any one past 16. All right, parents, be different. Wear your hair bobbed, when every ope else is doing their darndest to have buns and rolls and psyches decorating the napes of their necks. Expose your knees to the public gaze when the rest of mankind is making a coy gesture at concealing ankles. Wear a white chiffon dress end carry tube roses when you go shopping, but if you want your children to be happy, let them look like every other child their own age. All of which brings us to the pathetic letter from a mother whose young daughter is out of tune with the rest of her friends. Denr Martha Lee--I have a young dauehter In high school. We are quite hard pressed financially, and have three younger children in school, so we do not have much monev to give the girl for clothes. She goes with a group of Kiris who come from families much better situ..ted financially, and these eirls wpar better clothes to school than our Kir! has for best. I have tried and tried to tell her that clothes do not matter, that the fact that she ts a member of the little clique is proof in itself that they' like her for what ehe is. not what she has. But I know she Is unhappy about It. She says all the Iris dress up to o to school, and I am constantly having to explain to her why !t- would be silly for her to wear hpr best dress in place of her school dresses. Have you any suggestion to make that miht change her mental attitude on this subject ? She is growing more unhappy -lit. I know she is not tealous of

BEAUTY—HOW TO ACHIEVE IT a a a a a a ana Makeup Secrets Revealed by an International Authority BY V. E. MEADOWS-

IT Is Important to bear In mind that rouge Is an eradicator, never a builder. It removes contour rather than accentuates it. In making up. your face is shaped by the rouge you use. A plump j face can be made to appear thinner or a thin face rounder by the correct application of rouge. Your face shoul still be moist, the foundation cream perfectly blended. Then, on the finger most convenient, take just a small amount I of rouge and spread it first just under your eye. very close to the lower ! lash. Be careful not to leave a white line between your eye and your cheek bone. This is a common fault and leaves the face looking “goggle- ! eyed.” The rouge around the eye should be very gently, delicately blended.

Don’t worry' if your face looks too red or blotchy at first. You easily can correct this and remove the ! harsh edges of color by drawing the palm of your hand from where is no rouge into the rouge area. For the thin face, spread the rouge close to the lower lashes, covering the w'idth of the eye, tapering down gradually until it is on a level with the upper lip. The normal face requires the rouge spread close to the lower lid over an area slightly wider than the eye, tapering very gradually until it is even with the bottom of I your nose. | In the case of a face that is plump, spread the rouge close to the jlower eyelid over an area extending from the Inside comer of the eye out over the temple and downward in triangular fashion until it reaches a point opposite the cleft or the chin.

MOTHER HUBBARD. All of which brings me around to one of my pet subjects, Mother Hubbard, so thank you a thousand times for the letter. I have always been an advocate of uniforms for students in all schools, public as well as private. It is, as I have tried to explain, very necessary for children to feel that they lock the same as their classmates. It gives them a common level from which to start. There is nothing makes a | girl feel worse, when she is 14 or ! 15 years old, than to have on a ; middy and skirt, when all around her in the class room are silks and satins and fine wools in the latest fashion. She feels inferior to start with. Uniforms do not tend to suppress the individual tastes and expression !of girls or boys in dress. It accen- ! tuates their tastes, because they can concentrate their ability on a few’ good clothes. It is easier on : the pocketbook, and surely a lot i easier on the eyes of the teachers, j judging from some of the “get-ups” I seen on youngsters enterting and 1 leaving the various and sundry I schools of the cities. As to your daughter, Mother | Hubbard, you might explain that the i most expensive and fashionable ; schools in the country insist that ; their students wear the most ordiI nary clothes. In some schools they j would be outcasts from the rest of I the students if they dared wear silk stockings. Maybe your girl is yo-ung enough, or has enough imagination, to play at.a game like that.

Dresses Are Matched by Color Hose BY FRANCES PAGET (Copyright. 1930. bv Style Sources! i NEW YORK, March 7.—Coincident with the spring opening, Schiaparelli offered colored hosiery, the tones, of course, matching the costume with which they were worn Going this idea one better, is the introduction of colored hosiery in fabric weaves, instead of plain. Taking one consideration with another, it is evident that stockings are undergoing a decided change not only in tone, but in construction. One assumes that this effort has been put forth to discourage the practice of omitting stockings. Gay socks are. of course, a sports factor and are reported as being chosen with the chick, but daring shorts in which women now appear on the courts. The tendency to match gloves to the costume with which they are worn is another new development worth watching. While some kids
