Child Needs ~ Must Guide Book Choice

Comedy Motive Dropped For Youngsters Above Six.

(Second of a Series)

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON : HEN we get past the early books, written for children of six and under, we find the stream branching. Whereas the former were usually amusing and full of the unconscious humor of animals and nursery characters, here we are confronting life with stories

about all sorts of folk’ with every

kind of experience. 1 can’t say why Wwe suddenly drop the comedy motive, unless it might be that parents themselves think it high time for Georgie 0 stop being a nitwit and a moron, to their way of thinking, and concentrate on the seriousness of life. We must not overlook the fact that children take fiction very seriously. There are many who take it entirely too seriously. And it this surprises you, ask a children’s librarian in a big city, about girls asking for “sad” books, “a book to make you cry, if you please. It had to be stopped. The very child who asked for the “weeper” never got it, for the simple reason that she could not be encouraged in morbid emotions.

Know Children

The way to select the books of a little boy or girl, if you are attempting to supervise reading, is to know the child himself. If he needs to be softened and made heedful of suffering, then sad books or tragic ones won't damage him any. Not the sentimentally morbid one, though. There is a difference. If your girl is sensitive and inclined to enjov her tears, watch what books she gloats over. Don’t accent the sad or even the too realistic beok, if your child can't take it; or is feeding his morbid soul on it, either one. [A good mixture of everything is best. Include -comedy, poetry, fiction in variety, adventure, thrills, informative tales, character stories and all. But don't let an obsession creep, in that feeds on selective appetite. : (Copyright, 1937, NEA Service, Inc.) NEXT—Adolescents’ reading matter.

Speaker Sees 3 Changes 1n Living Modes

“Three undercurrents of changes point to a new way of living,” Mrs. Van J. Denny, Wabash, said today at the Indiana Federation of Clubs’ board meeting at the Claypool Hotel. “First, we are passing out of the period of authority into one of cooperation in family, community and state,” she said. “Next we are shifting emphasis from material things to the ethical and spiritual, and finally, we "are moving from a period of feverish activity to one of increased leisure.” Mrs. Edwin I. Poston, Martinsville, institutes chairman, speaking of the flood situation, said: “We must meet the demands for help as

~ they face us.”

Mrs. EM Seebirt, South Bend, fine arts chairman, urged the members to encourage others to acquire appreciation of beauty and a knowledge of literature. Dean Mary Matthews, Purdue University, education chairman, outlined the educational projects.

Fund Gets $5000

Mrs. John W. Thornburgh, legislative chairman, laid stress on bills regarding child labor, schools, probation and housing. Mrs. Lafayette Porter, Greencastle, made a plea for neutrality. Mrs. W. A, Johnson, Perryville, discussed junior clubs and Mrs. Lawrence Carvey, Plymouth, publicity. Mrs. Poston conducted an institute on “You, the Consumer,” before a luncheon. Mrs. George Jaqua, Winchester, presided, and Mrs. Frederick G. Balz, president, attended. Mrs. Balz yesterday announced , the donation of $5000 from Mrs. Edrund Ball, Muncie, to the maintenance fund of the old Fauntleroy Home in New Harmony. With this gift and the money already in the fund, the federation voted to provide the balance of the $10,000 fund from the state’s funds. The board indorsed the state hill ior a five-day lapse between the application for and issuance of marriage licenses, an adequate drivers’ license law and opposed passage of any termination of the teachers’ tenure for married women. The board recommended that the state officers’ terms be extended to three years. The state convention m May will take action.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27 (NEA).—Paris couturiers create simple, con-

servatively cut dresses for little girls. > : most amusing fabrics for them. The combination of the two ideas makes

American designers turn out

and smart as can be. Generally speaking, tiny little girls’ frocks are all cut from the same pattern. It simply is a full | skirt, attached to a yoke of varyling = depth—shorter for the very young than for the 8-year-old. Sleeves are always short, regardless of the season. Fine flannel or lightweight lain- | ages are favored in mid-season collections for children. Also various cottons in néw prints.

Variety in Styles

Most, talked-of prints at the mo- | ment, are those designed for chil- | dren—by children. What a fried egg and a strip of crisp bacon look | lik to a tot, has bezn reproduced on {ine chambray. A very small child traced the ingredients in alphabet soup on paper, and an astute merchandiser used the scrawls to fashion an alphabet print. Tick-tack-toe, a - vegetable garden,-rope skipping, are others in the new group of prints for children —by children. Party dresses are just as simple as school and nursery togs. More luxurious fabrics are used, of course, but trimmings take the form of tucking, pleating or smocking.

Smart party dresses for your child are no more trimmed with lace, bows, ruffles and gee-gaws than your own.

Perfect Fit Essential

Incidentally, her very best dress ‘might be accordian-pleated, from neckline to hem. But only if she is and elf-like. Accordian pleated models are not for rough-and-ready, tomboy girls. Really good dresses for children always have generous seams and hems which can be let out as the little girl gets larger. It’s a much better idea to dress her in a frock that fits perfectly and which can be made larger the following season than in a too-large Hinde! “because she can grow into i 2

It is particularly important for persons with minor children and other dependents whose needs are unequal, to make wills to safeguard survivors’ interests.” “Laws don’t protect you unless you know them and look out for yourself,” Mr. Dowling said. He listed laws protecting the security of the home and women’s rights.

Can Girl Fall In Love With Radio Voice?

No, It Isn't Possible, - Jane Tells ‘Just Twenty.’

Put your problems in a letter to Jane Jordan who will answer your questions in this column,

PEAR JANE JORDAN— I am 20 years old and am faced with a very peculiar problem. Could it be possible for anyone to fall in love with a man merely by hearing his voice on the radio? : I have seen this man three times but of course he doesn’t know me from Adam as there was a big crowd around when I happened to see him. There is no one .who could introduce me as I know no one who knows him. He comes on the air a couple of times each day and I wouldn’t miss his broadcasts for anything. : I am almost sure he is unmarried. I go with other fellows but can’t enjoy myself because I am constantly thinking of him. Don’t tell me to introduce myself as I never could do that no matter how much I love him, but please help me. JUST TWENTY. ANSWER—NOo, it isn’t possible to fall in love with a man simply by hearing his voice over the radio. His voice and three glimpses of his person are all you know of him. He is a stranger whom you might not admire upon close acquaintance. You are in love with the general idea of love, not a person. For 20 years you've been building up an imaginary love image of your own, based at first on what you liked -about your parents and other adults in your family. Later you embellished your ideal with romantic passages from senti- - mental books, movies and radio programs. Everybody does this to some extent, but few expect to find such an ideal in the flesh. This man’s voice has stirred the whole fairy tale you cherish and caused you to hang all your dreams on a man whom you don’t know and who probably doesn’t fit the picture at all. Surely you can see how foolish this is, how remote from reality. The man no more resembles your highly colored fantasies than day resembles night. My guess is that no flesh-and-blood male could live up to the fanciful figure of a lover which you've invented as an outlet for your pent-up affections. You will save yourself a lot of disappointment by learning to face facts instead of allowing yourself to be swept away by fancies. Love takes in the total personality of another, not just a voice and a pleasant personal appearance. Why don’t you interest yourself in the boys you have a real opportunity to know? Isn't it because they fall so far short of the romance you expect? A boy can compete with another flesh and blood boy but he can’t lick his rival when his rival is a dream. The girl who hangs on to an ideal so impossible to realize in fact makes herself unhappy and her future husband also, if she finds one, JANE JORDAN,

Solution to Previous Problem

By WILLIAM E. M’ KENNEY American Bridge League Secretary ODAY’S hand involves. the proper play of an honor combination. Sometimes the play of these combinations is complicated by the bidding of adversaries. At

often is a clue to the distribution. The bidding of one suit, especially at the range of two, usually places at least five cards in the hand of the player making the overcall. The bidding of two suits is quite likely to place 10 and certainly not less than nine cards in those suits, if the partner has been silent throughout the auction. When South studied the combined hands, after the opening lead, he could see that his contract was cold if each opponent held three clubs, because a losing heart in dummy could be discarded on the fourth club in his own hand. West's strong bidding, however, warned him against expecting any such normal distribution. The king of diamonds was won with the ace in dummy. Then declarer led two rounds of trump. When West failed to follow on the second lead, South felt fairly confident that West had originally held at least 10 cards in hearts and diamonds, and thus not more than three cards in the black suits. Declarer then played the king of clubs and a low club to the queen in dummy. When West played the 10 on the second trick, declarer ‘led another club and unhesitatingly finessed the nine in his own hand. His contract now was assured, for he could discard one of dum-

other times the adverse bidding:
