ANSWER—Do you realize that you have no one but yourself to

self taught your children to be dependent upon you for all you could give. Now you are surprised and pained to find that they have carried the habit over into adult life. Smart parents begin when children are tiny to teach them to do everything for themselves. They do not |

come to the rescue every time a | child gets himself in a jam, but let |

help. It is no kindness to stand between any individual and the consequences of his own acts. Such parents never find themselves in your fix and do not feel abused. Your children simply have had 8 bad preparation for an independent life. Did it ever occur to you that the best way to stop their impositions on you is simply to stop doing more than your | share without comment? If you don’t get up to get breakfast,’ somebody else will. When tired, what is there to keep you from resting other than your own feeling that you ought not to or don't want to?

Dumb Beauty’s Popularity Era Seen As Ended

BY ALICIA HART NEA Service Staff Writer

Judging by the type of girls who win Hollywood and stage contracts these days, the era of the popularity of the beautiful-but-dumb creature has passed. Evidence on all sides points to the fact that much more attention is paid to the perfectly groomed, reasonably attractive girl of intelligence than to a wide-eyed, slow-witted, ravishingly pretty one. Naturally, beauty is—always has been, always will be—a definite asset. But its value is doubly important if the mouth which is part of it speaks softly and utters sentences worth listening to, if the eyes light up with sincere interest when others talk, if its expression changes to suit the occasion and the mind behind it is full of something more than current fashions and meaningless thoughts, the invariable result of too much concentration on the personal pronoun.

You Can Be Lovely

Even though your figure, hair and features are merely so-so, you still can be lovely—almost beautiful—and popular beyond even your dearest dreams. You have only to develop charm and an interesting personality.. These worthwhile substitutes for whatever you lack in physical pulchritude are within your reach. Groom your hair, face and body until they are as flawless as you can make them. Wear becoming clothes (becoming doesn’t mean expensive) and keep them clean and pressed. ; Next, develop a hobby. It makes no difference whether you. collect stamps, old prints, snapshots or butterflies. Read, Read, Read! -

The object is to busy yourself with something that is apart from your business life and your general social activities. If it's a hobby that others will like to hear about, so much e better. ’ Read, read, read! Read newspapers and magazines to find out what is going on in the world about you. Read history to know what has gone before. Develop a taste for good fiction and biography. Remember what you read. Try to be interested in people. Don’t make them listen to your life story unless they beg for it. Instead, insist upon hearing theirs. Someone once said that if you let Pa person talk about himself for one hour and show real enthusiasm while he is doing it, you have made a friend.

Etiquette

| By PATRICIA

ARRIAGE OF A WIDOW OR DIVORCEE—A woman who is to be married to her second husband does not wear white or carry orange blossoms, and she should avoid an elaborate ceremony. She usually is unattended, although she

may have one bridesmaid if she desires.

‘The ushers are limited to one or two if it is a church wedding, for usually only intimate friends and the families are invited, and there are no elaborate seating arrangements to be managed. The bride’s costume for a church wedding is an afternoon dress and hat, or a traveling costume. Her father gives her away, precisely as he did at the first marriage.

Music Feature of A. A.U.W. Show

Music is to feature the opening day of the American Association of University Women’s annual book

and toy exhibit Monday at Ayres’ auditorium, Mrs. O. M. Jones is to speak on “The Importance of Children’s Music.” The Sigma Alpha Iota Sorority quartet is to sing a selection of children’s songs. : Miss Ada Bicking, Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music director, is to be at the exhibit during the week to advise parents on musical training for their children.

Sorority Alumnae Meet Miss Pearl Upland was hostess today for the Alpha Gamma Delta Club. Preparations for the sorority’s international reunion day were discussed, and Mrs. Robert P. Stearns reviewed “It Can't Happen Here”

Correct Light Is Needed for Indoor Plants

Artificial Illumination Is Not Practical, Expert Says.

This is the last of three articles “Why House Plants Fail.” : BY WILLIAM R. BEATTIE Senior Horticulturist, Bureau of Plant Industry, United States Department of : Agriculture. 1 Science Service) Mo Ouse ns need some direct sunlight, or its equivalent, for their well-being. It has been demonstrated that artificlal lighting of the right kind will, in a measure, take the place of sunlight. If you place several high-power electric lamps over and around your house plants you might get practically the same results as

| with direct sunlight. But the cost

would be out of proportion to the results obtained. Sunlight still is, and promises to be, our main source of light for plant growing. The amount of sunlight required varies. In their native habitat in woods, along the banks of streams and often in densely shaded places, ferns received diffused sunlight and often rays of direct sunlight for only a portion of the day. The Maidenhair fern requires good light and does best when exposed to direct sunlight a part of the time.

Reduced Light Sometimes Good

Palms and rubber plants require the least sunlight of all house plants. In fact, most palms require reduced suntight, otherwise the leaves will be burned. This is especially true where the sunlight passes through ordinary window glass, as the glass contains imperfections which refract or bend the rays of light. * When the light is cut off from plants, chlorophyl formation ceases in plant leaves. Without chlorophy) —the green matter in the leaves and stems—there will be no transformation of plant nutrients into carbohydrates, sugar, starch, and other forms of plant food which cause plants to grow. Plant leaves are alluded to as both the lungs and the digestive system of the plant, and they function only in the presence of sunlight or ils equivalent. though with the aid of artificial light it is possible to grow certain house plants under conditions where direct sunlight cannot be secured, the results will not be equal to those where the plants get direct/ sunlight at least for a portion of the time. Plants grown in a window where they receive light from one side only will become one-sided. The plant cells farthest from the light grow more rapidly than those next the window, causing the growing tips to bend toward the light. Irequent turning of the plans will correct this to some extent.

Solarium Is Advantage

There is much to recommend the inclusion of a solarium, or even a glassed-in porch in planning a home. - Plants are like pets—they respond to good treatment. They require régular feeding and watering, pure air to breathe, the proper temperature, sunshine and protection from insects. : New ideas in the care of house plants constantly are being discovered. It has been found that the blooming of certain plants, like the chrysanthemum, can be hastened by shortening their daylight period. Plants placed in a dark room at 4 o'clock in the afternoon and allowed to remain in the dark until 9 a. m, and this repeated day after day, will bloom much earlier. Other plants respond better to extra long periods of light.

Science has answered many of

the questions we have been asking’

about the habits of plants. Failures may be due to some: slight chemical deficiency in our soil, or to some other cause, but, eventually, our scientific investigators solve the prob-
