Best Books For Children
Are Amusing
Peciliritios of Individual |
Must Be Considered In Selection. (This 1s the first of three articles
on books for children.)
" By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON “What is the best book you have
for a child of 6?" asked the lady |
at the counter. The salesgirl has a ready answer. “Why, here is a brand new one by So-and-So. It is delightful.” Bonnie's mother may as well have | said to the grocer, that is good to eat for a little girl of 6?” Because he won't know | about her skin trouble and the care- | ful diet the.doctor has prescribed. | Or that she is allergic to a certain | clement that causes hives. | The young woman at the store may know all there is to know about | the relative value of books, but she | won't know your child, and her | (or his) disposition. That is some- | thing that the mother will have to | decide. This is the gap between | buying and selling children’s books. | One Common Ground i But there is one common ground | that is safe and constructive. This | is to have plenty of amusing stories | | about. Writers of children’s fiction | have recognized this for many years. Why is it that grown-ups like to read stories aloud to little people, | and later lose all interest in reading | to their offspring? Because they | enjoy the droll humor and the funny | situations woven into the early tales. But the child takes them seriously, you say? Yes, he does seem to, indeed. But inside he chuckles to himself. He feels gay and debonnaire like the little rabbit, or the ‘bear or the pig who pretended he was a cloud. It is good for children to laugh. They are born with a natural sense of humor that fails them all too early. And they adore the sound of words marching along in rhyme. This is a natural instinct in keeping with the sense of dancing, of march-. ing and anything cone to time. Watch the moral tale. It serves | a good purpose, but overfed on it, | vour Georgie or your Bonnie will | silently make mental reservations. | It depends largely on your child | himself. Never read anything that | increases his, or her particular fear | or phobia. Don't insist. Children | are strange. ight

Write to Jane Jordan for new light on your problems. She will answer your letters in this column.
I have been married but I am not now. I have one child with me and the other is with my ex-husband. Love passed me by until I met a man several months ago and fell madly in love with him. He said he loved me just as much, but he had a wife and children. He did not love his wife and was going to divorce her; so I went with him un-
til I found out he was not telling me the truth.
It went so far that we were planning where we were going to live and who was to marry us. Then he asked me to 80 over to his house with him to see his wife and I did. After I met her I knew he was untrue to us both. She knew he was going with someone but did not know who it was. told her and we got together ond asked him just what he was going to do with us both. He said he did not know; that he loved us both.
I know his wife and children have more ties to him than I have, How could a man be so untrue to two women at one time? His wife 5s one of the nicest women I ever met. I wonder if there are any true men left in this world for a girl to know. You see no matter what he has done to me I still love him and so does his wife. HEART BROKEN. ANSWER—What a man! He can cheat, lie, double-cross and deceive without losing one whit of his prestige with women. He can slip, slide, hesitate and vacillate, but no matter what he does at least two women will love him just the same. What incentive has he for observing rules of conduct? If he had a virago at home he wouldn't bring another | lady around to call with such infantile naivete.
| And if you weren't such a gullible |
| girl he would never have risked your | displeasure by letting you know that his wife was a decent, likable | woman.

Fruit Tarts

Can Become Meal Jewels
Cheese and Custard Are Used to Add Variety.
By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Service Staff Writer Fruit tarts can be the jewels of the meal. Simple encugh to make, they always give the impression of being the product of a skilled chef. Cheese and custard can join in the fruits and jams to add variety to the tart tray. Here are a few recipes straight from ————————— the kitchen jeweler. Rich Tart Pastry (About 8 tarts) One and a half cups sifted soft - wheat flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1; teaspoon a powder, 8 tablespoons fat, about 3 ta- : blespoons water. Mix flour and salt and baking powder and Sift ec———— again. Work in Mrs. Maddox fat with tips of fingers, a fork, or a biscuit cutter, depending on your attitude. When flour and fat are “grainy,” add water slowly, but use no more than absolutely necessary to make a stiff dough. On a lightly floured hoard, roll out pastry to a little less than !i inch thickness. Cheese Tarts
One cup grated cheese, 2 tablespoons flour, ‘3 eggs. !': teaspoon Doaprtn: 2 tablespoons butter, 2 cups milk, 1; teaspoon salt, dash of cayenne. Line patty tins with rich pastry, uncooked.

Beat egg whites until stiff and dry and fold into other mixture. Fill pastry shells. Bake in moderate oven (325 degrees F.) for 25 minutes. Try these with chilled whole fruit such as pears or tart apples.

Other distributions would have to | be considered, however, such as a singleton honor in either opponent’s hand, which would make a firstround finesse dangerous. South's best piay was to lead a low diamond to the ace and return a low diamond to the king. In toaay's hand, since the jack fell on the second round, there was no further guess, and South now could lead a low diamond to the nine and win the remaining tricks, after the queen of diamonds was taken by West. Had South chosen a first round finesse of the nine in dummy, the hand would have been defeated, (Copyright, 1937, NEA Service, Inc.)

ber it is the truth that hurts. If you didn’t enjoy being the heroise of the piece, the trusting woman who was betrayed by the oh-so-lovable villian, you would have a normal reaction of indignation and disgust. Or closer still to the truth, you wouldn’t have let yourself in for this tangle in the first place. The man’s wife is fashioned of the same martyr material, and that is why you think she is so nice. You understand her acceptance of the martyr’s role. You two women hold yourselves in exceedingly low esteem. If you were sure of your own personal worth, neither of you would be fooling around with a weak, wishy-washy man who tried to hold to his penny while he eats his cake. One of you would have astonished him long ago by calculating his emotional age as somewhere between 2 and 6, and left him to repeat his infantile drama over and over again while ‘you sought a mature man with an adult sense of social responsibility. Is this man worth the devotion of two women? You know he is not. JANE
