‘BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON : “Sometimes parents defeat be very * thing they are anxious to cultivate in: thelr children. They do, not realize that, to get desired results, the reverse of the obviolis is often the best way to bandle a ~situdtion. - ‘This is particularly’ true’ in dealing with inferiority. The too-gentle, unassertive child, thinks his family, should be handled a bit cavalierly in order to toughen him to life. But: while this has a modicum of truth in it, and all children should learn to take-things in their stride, at the same time the wind at first should be tempered to the lamb. Too ‘harsh a blast may kill instead of harden him.
Personality Smothers Family
Fathers with: sensitive and shy boys usually make this blunder. Men of force often have sons the exact opposite of “themselves. * In such - cases it is frequently remarked that the sons: take after their mothers. This is less the case than the fact that a dominant man is likely to throw his entire family into the jitters, including his wife. He may be a wonderful fellow, this man, a good provider, ‘ kindly in his way and all the rest of it, but his very personality may be sapping the will power of the rest. : This is the father, too, who usually resents it if his sons don’t take after him, and who, paradoxically enough, won't: have his daughters grow up with minds ‘of their own.’ "Then we have a bad situation, wo father trying to shame his sons into being big’ he-meén, and at: the same’ time endeavoring to keep down the “obstinate wills” of his girls. Obstinate : in the sense ‘that they themselves do not approve.
Planting Seeds of Heroics
If it is possible to tell opinionated daddies anything they will listen to, may I whisper a truth? Every time you make fun of Johnny because he hasn't stood up for his rights, you are weakening him still more. If you want to toughen him, “you won't call him a sissy. If he lets some one maul him, you won't-call |. him a‘ coward. You can't make heroes this way. . Heroes are’ better made by being
fooled - into thinking they are the |.
ticket, and by. thinking they have a reputation to live’ up to. Call Johnny a brave little chap sometime, and if he doesn’t fall dead from sheer ‘ amazement; he is going to show you that you are right about him. Fathers as well as mothers will find out some day, that there are shadings to training. There - are times when a little roughage is best, but there are more times, especially with the supergentle child, ‘when admiration and praise gets results. .. Once small Johnny thinks you admire him, it is a pretty safe bet that he will give you some to admire. All of us, and ‘especially chil-
dren, need inflation to self-esteem. (Copyright, 1836, NEA Service, Inc.)

Etiquette
By PATRICIA
ECEIVING CALLS—When a hostess decides on the day of the week when she will receive callers, she should notify her friends. She may have it on her calling cards if she desires. On- her at: home day the hostess should be ready "to “receive her friends -by 3 p. m.- : The ‘guests may be abrioihoed by the servant if the household is very formal, or the attendant at the door may. offer the visitors a small tray] on. which they: are to place.. their | cards. If there is no servant, the hostess opens: the door to-callers who may place their calling cards on a 'con-| venient salver. - In ‘apartment houses that have telephone : connections. from" the lobby to the apartments, etiquet requires that the caller’s name be announced from downstairs.

Health Essential for Pretty Hair, “Expert Declares
BY ALICIA HART Times Special Writer Good health ‘and absolute cleanliness are the requisites for shiny, attractive hair. If you: shampoo incorrectly and infrequently, seldom use a hairbrush and make no attempt to sleep regularly: or eat sensibly, you simply won't have the kind of hair that poets rave about.
‘Any illness—even the" common cold-—ususlly makes hair less lovely. A stay ina hospital often results in falling hair or dandruff or both. - Any one who has been ill should give her scalp reconditioning treatments and brush hair vigorously twice a day instead of once. «~~ The perfect reconditioning treatment’ makes use of tonic as well ‘as.a hot oil shampoo. Get a lotion designed to correct your individual scalp defect and use it according to- directions.. “One especially good tonic, put on the ‘market recently, actually will cure dandruff. That is, if ‘you ‘use it correctly. It is to be ‘massaged into the scalp’ ‘the ‘second: day after a_hot oil-shampso— every other ‘night from then: on.
