ANSWER~Really it is delightful to a columnist to find a problem in which it is so easy to tell right | from wrong. To read a letter from some one you never saw about people you never saw, and pick the good from the bad, is a baffling job. One can never be quite sure of the accuracy of one's answer, for | the tiniest bit of new evidence might | change the whole complexion of the | case, That is why it is such a pleasure | to be able to make up one's mind | at a flash without weighing the evi- |

for hidden facts, without qualifying [essed to be one's remarks to make allowance | Shi

for possible errors. It gives me solid satisfaction to say that this mother is wholly, completely, unequivocally wrong, wrong! She is hopelessly, hor- | ribly, unhappily selfish. She is | a dire and dreadful exponent of the worst there is in mother love. For unless this girl is minded or infected with incurable disease, she should most assuredly marry the man she loves at 28. Ten years is a mere nothing in chronological difference after people have matured. In your shoes I

Begin Removing Excess Wel ght When First Seen

BY ALICIA HART NEA Service Staff Writer

It is a mistake mcdeea to wait until you are 50 to begin worrying

ahout your weight, fine lines and wrinkles, stiff joints and other

beauty defects.

Unless you are one of the fortunate, “naturally thin” persons, you might as well face we fact that, after 30, you are likely to gain a few pounds a year. Begin taking off the excess weight the minute you are conscious of it. Decide what you want to weigh the rest of your life then figure out how ‘much food you can eat and how much exercise you have to take to stay at that figure. Even if you are inclined to be thin, you ought to do a few simple limbering and stretching exercises each morning. These keep your body supple and young looking. Stretch your arms and legs before you get out of bed in the morning. Do bending routines to prevent stiffness of knees, neck and waistline. Remember that it is easier to ward off lines and wrinkles than to eradicate them once they have appeared. Use your night cream every night before you go to bed regardless of how sleepy and tired you are. It takes only five or six minutes to get it on, stroke and pat it in and to remove it. And it take no more than two minutes to apply skin tonic and to clarify its color. Make it your business to stay physically fit. You must get adequate rest, eat the right food and do a few exercises a day. Also, every woman over 30 should see her family doctor and have.a thorough physical examination once a year.

Present Day Lack Facts

Parents Advised to Ask Questions to Provide Mental Stimulus.

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

“What color is the Jones’ house?” “Who teaches Number 9?”

“What makes a watch go?” “What do you call the plant on

“What do you eall the buildings

These are a few suggestions for

dren, There is no better way to enfix memory and gain knowledge, than this simple little diversion. Today's children are woefully | lacking in facts, for some reason or other. The reasons have been discussed to great length and pinned generally to an over-busy age. But I think not. I believe that minds are not greatly concerned | with helping themselves, the out‘come of pre-digested knowledge being handed them “canned.”

Main Spring for Mind

While this is an advantage, fit | also can be a hindrance, if it causes brains to take it too easy. Brains | that try to remember what some

| one else says or does are overwork- |

ing on one line and underworking | on others. General knowledge of the world | and people, of events and things, | must come first hand to become a | real entity in the child's life. Tell him the Jones’ house is green, and next week he'll forget. Ask him, and then make him go and look at it. He won't forget. Get him into the habit of looking for himself and registering impressions, and you have intelligence, not mere intellectuality, A big difference. Sometimes the child will have to inquire. So much the better. It doesn’t matter who teaches Room 9. But if he asks, and finds out, he will know one more fact. If | possible, try to stimulate further inquiry. While he is about it, the bright boy or girl will ask who teaches eight and 10 also. It fis not merely answers we are after in this engaging diversion, but the beating up of the stagnant water of the mind, that has become too accustomed to reflect the sky, until it forgets it has a life and power of its own. One reason I might add to causes of this growing inertia to general knowledge, is over-interest along special lines.

Interests Blind Child

The boy who will not bend his talents to anything besides mechanics, will deliberately close his eye and mind to simple things outside his heart's hobby. He can go to the woods for botany specimens and not see or care about the names or trees, or notice whether there is a hill or a hollow about, or which way the road winds. A girl can become so obsessed with high grades in school that she won't take the trouble to inquire the name of the big building she passes two thousand times a year. A spring makes the watch go. And a spring, self-winding, must make the mind go. The spring of inquiry, that motivates the sprockets of investigation and observation, Nothing is too small or too common for discovery. Maybe the table

turned fern for the time and serving as decoration. But to know it, is different from merely accepting it as “that green stufl.” As for plants of another kind, can you and a factory? Do you know that fron is not made in mills, but “furnaces?” Make up your own question. Not only the children, but parents, are going to have some fun, and scratch brains that need a good messaging.

‘Swishing’ Rule No. 1 for Chic, Famed Style Expert Decrees

By NEA Serviee NEW YORK, Dec. 28—Women should learn to swish!”

From Nina Price, who has swished | sour accessories interchangeable.

herself right into the profession of fashion consultant and turns ugly ducklings into birds of paradise, comes this council. Swishing, says Mrs. Price, is rule No. 1 for chie. “If she doesn’t swish, she doesn't carry her clothes well,” Mrs. Price insists. “The best way to go about mastering the art is to cast off all the so-called comfortable, mannish lounging pajamas, unritted, kneelength throbes (left-overs from college days) and, in their place, substitute house coats and hostess gowns. “The non-swisher slumps in the saddle, making her tailored suit look like a sack of potatoes with a string around the middle of it. Or, when in evening clothes, she runs—not sweeps—along. Worse, she grasps both sides of her long gown when she starts up a flight of stairs. The sleek, dark-haired fashion expert who was born in India (her father was a British army officer), educated in Europe (she remembers history by recalling clothes worn

‘during the various periods), and who

married and has lived in this country 20 years, believes there are definitely followable rules to guide intelliSen dressing. Among them are

“Plan your wardrobe at the beginning of each season. Get at it early, so as to have the full season's joy out of it. If you can't purchase everything at once, get what

| patible with your mode of life. Have | these the tops. Decide on a color | scheme and stick to it. This makes

“Have your hats made to order whenever possible, A quarter of an inch in width of brim or height of crown can make or ruin you.

Then she {ays down a few dont's for all, “Don't economize on classics, To buy the wrong suit or coat is an expensive mistake. Get the right coat, and there's no reason why you can’t wear it year after year. “Don't try to look like someone else. Get a vision of what you could be at your best, then work toward that.” Right here is where Mrs. Price comes in. She maintains that it is difficult for any one to be objective about herself and that many a girl has possibilities she never dreamed of. To any client Nina Price, is as lavish with praise as with criticism. Don't be sloppy and save your good clothes for so-called important occasions,” the fashion consultant continued. “You never know who you will meet the very day you look your worst. “Don’t economize on cleaning bills.

more difficult, and the hands which illustrate it are much rarer. I am indebted to my friend, Sam O'Connell, of Holyoke, Mass, for an example of one of the finest defensive plays I have seen in a long time. It was made by his partner, Dr. Robert E. Cleary, also of Holyoke, and was played in a duplicate game at the Holyoke Masonic Temple. Dr, Cleary sat West and O'Connell East, O'Connell naturally opened the nine of spades, in response to his partner's bid. Dr. Cleary played

This failure to eover was a good play, but one that is seen every day in the year, as nothing could be gained by covering, North being marked with both ace and king, North now led a low club to dummy and returned the eight of hearts, Here was the major play of the hand. Dr. Cleary played the jack. He reasoned from the bidding that North held a trump suit of at least six cards, and the only chance to beat the contract was for O'Connell to get the lead once more, and lead a diamond through dummy’s king. North, reasoning that West now held either the lone ace or the ace and 10, returned a low trump. East won, shot a diamond through the
