In Lessening Inferiority
Ted ‘Didn't. Like New Style Until Another Boy Wore It.
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
“But Ted, you look wonderful in the suit. It isn’t purple at all. It’s the touch of blue that .their most
hope you’d like it, for once.” Ted looked at himself in the mirror. “It is purple. I don’t care what the man said. I feel like a monkey in 1t.” “Well, then,” sighed his mother, “we won't keep it. Youll have to get out early and go to town with me tomorrow. I declare I can’t get you to wear one blessed thing that’s a bit different.” . + Ted took off the offending garments and got into his tan sweater and brown pants. His mother remembered a similar struggle to get him to wear brown, but he wore it contentedly enough when he discovered that his crony, Art Smith, had a new brown suit, too. Ted would not wear first anything that came in style.. He always had to see seamebody else. with it on. It was the history of almost everything she had ever bought for him.

Fresh Pear Juice Latest Eye-Opener
Liquids Won't Supply, What Is Needed From Vegetables.
By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Service Staff Writer Once upon a time “ham and eggs and coffee” was the American definition of breakfast. But today, no self-respecting egg would show its face without some kind of juice. The latest craze is fresh pear juice. There's also a run on pome= granate juice put up in small or large bottles, and red raspberries combined with loganberries send their pleasant combination all over the land in attractive bottles. Even the apricot has gone in for juicing. If you like some of your daily allotment of health in the form of vegetable juice, try this new ar=rangement thought up by some friendly trained nurse and just now put on the market. It is a combi= nation of the juice of carrots, beets and spinach and it really tastes less shocking and far more palatable than you might believe. There's plain celery juice, too, for your vitamin” C content. Comkined with clam juice and chilled, it produces a stirring appetizer for dinner.
You Need Vegetables, Too ‘Whether you draw these popular and health aiding juices from bote | tles, cans or the orchard, don't rely i entirelyj on them for your daily supply §of the things vegetables should supply, The bulk and cellulose of ordinary vegetables can best
be obtained from the vegetables themselves, rather than from juices, alone. . : Cranberry juice poured over finely
cracked ice in a cocktail glass, then ‘|orange juice poured on top, preserits an alert appearance at the breakfast tables The combination of orange and grapefruit juice is still one of the best. for morning pickups or wakeups, and the breakfast use of canned pineapple juice is made even more welcome when a few drops of fresh lime are added. Here’s news for the thrifty housewives who like a little extra for their money. One manufacturer of vinegar is putting up his product in glass rolling pins, another is packaging mustard in-a glass bean pot of dark brown fireproof stippled glass. ' : :

You won’t start anything. You like to follow other people.” “Well, I don’t like being queer. 1 hate to be laughed at. That's why.” “Art doesn’t feel that way. He thinks just because he wears things, that makes it all right. He feels that way about a lot of things. For instance, he said he’d be drummer in the orchestra, when four of you bcys turned it down. Now you're 62 all jealous of him, because he’s K93 made it the best thing you've got. 25°
Prints are of extreme importance in Hollywood's spring style parade. Sylvia Sydney, Hollywood actress, wears a striking black dress with a bold daisy design. The flowers in the print are white with red, green and lighter green splashes. The high neckline is shirred into fullness which also is carried out in the apron effect. A loose-sleeve treatment and belt of black suede complete the frock. Black straw forms the hat with its pointed ribbon trimming of red and green.
vour girl friend shows., Because you were glad fo see him and because you made it easy for him to talk to you, he would like your company and want dates with you. Practice being cordial land friendly with all boys - and perhaps it will come easier with the one you want.

‘Seed Package
Art Becoming |
More Lifelike
While seed catalogs have undergore a change from the days of ro- ! mantic exaggeration, and have become accurate and dependable in
their descriptions of flow€ts and ‘ vegetables, [the pictures on seed : packets have undergone a like development. : * Improvements in ‘color photog- { raphy and ¢olor printing have been "in part responsible for this. Packet . illustrations, - which formerly were : drawings made by an artist who : naturally tried to improve on na- . ture. rather than otherwise, now - begin ‘with photography. So far "as the art of printing is capable of it, an exact reproduction of the i flower or vegetable in size, form and i color, is created for the informa- « tion of the buyer. . Seeds are one kind of merchan- ‘ dise which the buyer hardly ever ' inspects. The professional may pre- * fer to see the seeds he is buying but ! the amateur is not interested in the
: seeds, but in the flower or vegetable |
| they will produce. The sale is made on the basis of : the picture on the packet. Naturally : not all varieties have been pictured, «but in the last few years there has : been a great increase in the num-
"+ ber of subjects illustrated in color,
and the number of colored packets 3 used. 2 In addition to an accurate picture - in color, the modern: seed packet : bears a description of the variety . packeted, and brief directions for its ; cultivation. These packets are used “ all over the world, though produced chiefly in this country and Great Britain. - Seedsmen of these two countries supply the majority of gardeners in all parts of the world with their seeds. The increased interest in flower gardening and the number ‘of improved varieties which have been ’ introduced in the last few years have greatly stimulated the production of colored packets.

Joan Crawford, getting a Mrs. Warfield haircut or trying to speak with a Ruth Chatterton accent? I think
more women should learn to adapt various beauty ideas to suit their own personalities—not just copy.” The artist emphasizes the importance of being natural and insists it is silly to adopt a current hair style unless it happens to be truly becoming to you. It's splendid to know what is new and smart, he says, but smart ideas ought to be toned down to suit the individual,
Watch Ringlets For example, a woman with a short, rather thick neck and a quite large head should not wear rows
of ringlets at the nape of her neck |
no matter how fashionable ringlets
are. Her hair needs to ne shorter,
perhaps, with one upward roll of curls across the back.
Bushy effects or “little girl” curls |
are not for the tall slender person who can look suave and sophisticated if she tries. On the other hand, dramatic coiffures and intricate makeup johs are not for office workers in their trim, tailored clothes. One should keep in mind her mode of life as well as her own looks. As a matter of fact. the majority of the coiffures seen on picture screens never was meant to be worn on the street, in the office. The personal coiffures of the stars are essentially simple. They wear intricate hair-do’s only to make
themselves look more like the char- |-
acters they are impersonating. If you have lovely, glossy hair and regular features, wear your hair parted in the middle and drawn softly backward—not because Mrs. Warfield wears hers that way, but because such a hairdress is flattering to you. Wear a Page Boy coif-
fure if it makes YOU prettier—not |
because it is flattering to Ginger Rogers. Remember the artists’ words —Be Yourself!

{all true. | “I don’t expect you to be a leader | or think you can’t make a mistake,” { went on his mother, “but Ted, I do { wish you had a mind of your own and could hold your chin up. Are you always going to be a follower, and a second rater, waiting for someone else to do things first?” “No, I'm not,” flared Ted. “Next time I'll buy a green suit, or any old thing, and make ’em like it. I guess I've been kind of funny, havn't 1?” His mother smiled encouragingly. She knew this sudden burst of courage would not last, but now his eyes were open, the boy might discover some latent confidence in himself that would grow into a real power. She hoped so, anyway. It is, of course, inferiority. Inferiority can never be entirely. cured, but sometimes an object lesson like this will open a youth’s eyes to the thing he has to fight and that no one else can fight for him. (Copyright, 1937.

Solution to Previous Problem By WILLIAM E. M’KENNEY
American Bridge League Secretary RIDGE players and writers have discovered that many of the most interesting hands in play come as a result of rather enthusiastic bidding by the declaring side. That is certainly the case in today’s hand, but the-way in which the problem of play which resulted
from the optimistic bidding was solved makes the hand worth more than passing attention. West continued with the ace of clubs, after cashing the king, and South ruffed. He then returned a diamond, which East won with the ace. The queen of clubs was returned, and South ruffed. As South had lost two tricks, he could not afford to give up another diamond and a spade as well. Hoping to drop the diamond jack, he led to dummy’s queen, but ‘the jack did not fall. Now, with only three trumps left, he returned dummy’s fourth club and ruffed in his own hand. He then laid down the ace and queen
recent garden tour,
with the king of spades to lead an{other round of trump. On this he discarded a low spade. Declarer had taken his one chance to make the contract. He led dummy’s last diamond, and, as East held the jack and no more clubs, the contract was fulfilled. (Copyright. 1937. NEA Service. Inc.) '
