‘DON’TS’ OF CHILD CULTURE STRESSED IN NEW PAMPHLET

Process of ‘Growing Up ’ Is Clarified Btf Vnitf.6 Prtt* WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.—A seri2S of don’t for parents with children between the ages of 1 and 6, formulated by a number of famous child specialists, was issued today by the labor department children’s bureau in the form of a manual tor parents. Stressing the vital importance of the first few years of a child’s life, called the most formative period, the bureau’s booklet treats every angle of child care from clothing to mental hygiene. The "growing up” between the ages of 1 and 6 is vitally Important both physically and mentally, the manual says, and emphasizes the fact that many parents while giving every care to the infant and later providing excellent schooling and other opportunities, may have ruined a child’s career by careless or Ignorant treatment during the 1 to 6 period. Baby Ways Get Old A few of the don’ts contained in the manual include a warning against encouraging a child in “baby ways.” This, while "cute” at the time, the report says, leads to the formation of the “sissy and poor sport" and may handicap a child all through life. “Don’t stifle a child’s curiosity and inquisitiveness, the manual adds, and don’t leave the care of the young child to the mother alone, i Don’t Rush Child Don’t try to force mental brilliance by attempting to teach a very young child rhymes and other memorized material. The best plan, the manual says, is to allow the child to make his own educational pace. Among the most important don’ts emphasized by the report is the “no bickering” rule for parents. Quarreling and disagreement between parents provides a mental atmosphere which may stunt a child’s natural good nature for life, the booklet says.

Favorite Rooms—No. 10 Social Room of Nicholson Home Is Furnished in Early American Style

i ' |

BY MARY BINGHAM A few pieces of early American origin set the period for the social room in the Meredith Nicholson home at 5417 North Meridian street. It is further emphasized by the beamed ceilings and wall height, red brick fireplace, framed with heavy timbers, which gives the room an old homestead aspect. The room is built around the fireplace with its attractive old brass fender, and matching andirons. Flanking the timber borders are two old swords, a bugle, and above, a small saber. One sword belonged to Mr. Nich-

What’s in Fashion?

Stocking and Glove Wardrobe Directed Btj AMOS PARRISH

NEW YORK, Aug. A—Have you noticed how much more attention fashionable women are paying lately to the little things in their costumes? Stockings and gloves in particular. We can’t remember when we’ve seen so many different kinds of stockings and gloves worn in one season as right now ... all of them well selected, too, with a particular costume in mind. Just how many stockings and gloves does the well dressed woman need for daytime wear? It depends on what she does and where she goes. Certainly enough gloves so she can always wear a spotlessly clean pair. And that means more than usual, since gloves are worn everywhere with these ladylike summer costumes. Whites Stylish, Handy Plenty of white gloves first, because white gloves are fashionable with practically any costume. Fabrics and washable leathers are the thing, of course* so they can be washed over night. ' They’re worn with white costumes, pastel costumes and dark colored costumes, for street wear and sports wear. Then some neutral beiges in washable leathers. They’re the practical thing for traveling, inconspicuous and not as quick to show soil. They go with lots of brown costumes too and with any costume with which you wear the fashionable neutral beige stockings. Chamois Good Accent Natural chamois gloves—or at least one pair of them—have a place in the summer glove wardrobe. They make a smart note of contrast with dark costumes, especially good looking with navy blue. They can be washed in the wash bowl, too. Pigskin gloves are good to have if you go in for real sporty looking outfits. They’re sturdy and careless looking ... go well with tweedy suits and rough surfaced sports coats. White’s a good color . . but so is natural tan. And they're smartest when they’re hand sewed as the gloves sketched. Mesh and Pique Smart Then if you’re going in for the fine points of smartness, you’ll probably want a pair of those new cotton mesh gloves to wear with cotton mesh dresses —if you have them. And aren’t these gloves cool! And they wash as easily and quickly as a rag. There are even pique gloves to wear with pique sports dresses. And don’t forget that new demi-mous-quetaire—the one with the flare at

olson’s father, Captain Willis Nicholson, who carried it during the Civil war. Another was carried by an uncle, Captain William Meredith, during the same war. The small one at the top belongs to Charles Nicholson, the youngest son, who was a member of the Lawton Guards, a group of boys organized at the time of the World war by Mr. Nicholson. The bugle was picked up by Captain Nicholson following a battle with the Confederates. The Nicholsons’ part in the Civil war again is commemorated in the framed epaulets worn by Mr.

Smart Gloves and Hose —Top to bottom: Mesh gloves, flared mousqnetaire, hand-sewed pigskin gloves; sandal-foot stocking, mesh stocking and mesh anklet. the end—in six or eight-button lengths to wear with short-sleeved dresses. Very perky! Most of these gloves you’ll want in four or six-button length (if sleeves are .long) or eight-button if sleeves are short. Neutral Beige Stockings Tlie biggest supply of stockings is, of course, the regular sheer silks in neutral beige tones. And you can wear them with anything. But mesh silk stockings are newer—in fine, almost pin-point meshes to wear with crepey silks and light crepey woolens. Lisle mesh—usually a little larger than the silk mesh and in white or off-white—is the smart choice with the white sports dress. But for active sports such as golf, sheer lisles belong in the stocking wardrobe. And for tennis you’ll surely want a pair or two of socKs in lisle or anklets in lisle mesh. To wear with your low-cut sandals there are sandal-foot stockings (one is sketched) with the sole kept low enough so it doesn’t show at the side. And if you want the very newest stockings, they’re the meshes in colors to match the colors of your sports costumes or accessories.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Nicholson’s grandfather and the tattered red and white guidon, all that remains of the banner carried by Captain Nicholson’s regiment on Sherman’s march to the sea. Etching Above Mantle Above the mantle is an etching of Notre Dame de Paris. Other pictures in the room are ox Mr. Nicholson’s friends and contemporaries. They border the walls above the book shelves which line the room. In the “gallery” are autographed photos, first of all of Booth Tarkington and the beloved late Kin Hubbard; an excellent profile of Rupert Brook, others of Henry James, George Ade, George Barr McCutcheon, John Masefield, Henry Irving, Arthur Keller and William Allen White.

Above one section of bookshelves are pictures of James Whitcomb Riley, who was Mr. Nicholson's idol. Above another are early and current pictures of Mr. Nicholson himself. Furniture Is Heavy Below these photographs, on the top shelf t is his book plate; a poem written “For Margaret” in 1893; a brass plate for the cover of “The Main Chance,” one of his early books. The original of the frontispiece of one of his first novels also hangs in the room. At a large mahogany table at one end of the room, Mr. Nicholson does much of his writing. Furniture in the room all is heavy, and it carries out a rust, black and yellow color note, repeated in the oriental rug. Walls are tinted a deep cream and are designed faintly with sweeping foliage in its autumn hues.

Ten Newcomers To The Talkies

■ ~* J *“ li *^^***^- ;

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 4.—Child film stars never make great adult actresses, according to Hollywood tradition. But here is anew leading lady in the talkies who was a juvenile star in the old silents. At an age when most kiddies are busy with dolls, she was lisping a part in a stage show. Her golden hair, finely chiseled face and childish beauty were known to moviegoers throughout the land from 1917 to 1925. Then she went on the legitimate stage. Now she’s back on the screen, charming, beautiful and still young despite her fourteen years’ experience. Her first talkie was “Son of India, - ’ with Ramon Novarro, and you’ll see her in many others. She is Madge Evans. NEXT: She won a Tennessee cake-bakink contest, worked as an artist’s model and failed in her first movie appearance. Who is Bhe?

Self-Expression for Children Shouldn’t Be Self-Indulgence

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Mothers of 8 or 9-year-old children are inclined to think that dawning independence should be encouraged at the expense of discipline. I know a mother who seems to be determined to ruin her boy for this very reason. “I want him to cultivate will,” she asserts firmly when her relatives remonstrate and tell her that she’ll be sorry some day. Then she goes on to say that men nowadays have to have a little push and iron in them to get along. “I’m tired of seeing boys kept under their mother's thumbs until they can not move without asking permission. When they get that habit, they go through the world asking everybody’s permission. I want James to be one of the people who give permission.” Avoid Self-Indulgence Well, I have a life-sized picture of son James fifteen years from now giving permission to nobody in the world but himself, for he is doing that already.

Much as I believe in self-expres-sion I think my friends has it all wrong. Self-expression does not mean self-indulgence and, as it happens, James does not choose to express himself in any other way. One evening he was told passively that he’d better go to bed. It was 10 o’clock. “I have something to finish,” said James cannily. I guess he knew the magic effect of that alibi, for evidently his mother had been reading up on the harm of interrupted impulse and had voiced it in his presence. Or, what a dangerous thing a little knowledge is! James Up at 12 “Very well, James,” was all she said. We left at 12 and James was still dawdling at nothing. Another time he said he was going to a movie. “Which one?” asked his mother. “I don’t know. Maybe I’ll go some place else. Just give me a dollar.” The dollar was handed over and

Your Child

’ the boy slammed the door to go out and express himself. His mother sighed with admiration. “He knows his own mind. I never interfere.” Any mother who allows her children to disregard home rule is laying up trouble for somebody some time. I hope it won’t be for the state. Discipline can go along very nicely with self-expression. Without it, the latter must be called by another name.
