Hobbies Find Place in Man's Room

Exhibitions Often Rouse Child's Fear

Making Tots Perform in Public Called Taking Unfair Advantage.

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON A little girl of 3 or 4 was to say a piece at the church entertainment. She knew it, but was sketchy about the times she would parrot the lines and the times she wouldn't. Her mother was worried for fear she would balk at the last minute and stand there mute on the platform calmly facing her audience without a word. Suddenly her name was called. Mama pushed her curly headed Temple into the aisle and hissed the first two words of the fourline poem. Up marched Totty toward the steps and kind 6 hands pulled her the rest of the way. At the end of the platform she stopped. Then she looked down at the sea of faces as calmly as though she were going to eat a dish of oatmeal,

Braving the Ordeal

Not a word. No coaxing could get her into the middle of the platform. A minute passed and ne

sound came from the little lips. “It’s ruin,” groaned her mother. “I knew it all the time.” Then suddenly words were coming over the footlights. “First time I ever said a piece, My knees shake quite a bit, But maybe if I smile a lot, You'll never notice it.” Then back to her mother she marched as indifferent to applause as if she had been a hardened prima donna. When her mother told me, I said, “I can’t bear child exhibitions. They put the baby on an unfair spot. I'd rather see them making mud pies and dressing their kittens in doll clothes.” But she disagreed. “You have to do it sometimes when it just can't be helped. Anyway it did not hurt Tottie, she was as cool as a cucumber.” They visited me recently and for several days we tried by diplomacy, tact and bribery to get this wee maiden to repeat her piece; that is, they did, I didn't. Not a word. She has refused to utter one word of that soliloquy ever since. Finally I said, “No, she doesn’t feel just right now. She is going to want to tell me about it some time, Tottie listened and snuggled close to my knee. One day I had her alone. Could I get around her by way of China, and see if she would spill out her little poem? Her alibis were too strong. She was lovely about it, but she would not say one word for me. I let it drop. Five or 6 is young enough for public appearance, unless the child is conditioned to publicity from babyhood. In that case it is natural as eating. But I disapprove of forcing babies of tender years to show off before audiences. It does things to them. I know one girl who suffered so terribly years ago when she had to say a public piece she cannot bear to think of either the occasion or the words of her rhyme today. So let us use judgment and try to put ourselves in the place of our children. They are not as self-uncon-scious as we may think.

P.).— American aid for European Jewry and peaceful United States co-op-eration with other nations was advocated today by.the 15th triennial convention of the National Council of Jewish Women.

Attractive Hair Can Be Kept So By Few Tricks

By ALICIA HART

The girl who can keep her hair trim and tidy between visits to the hairdresser has an advantage over her more helpless friends who swear they simply cannot pin a curl in place and find the business of arranging a wave quite impossible. The ideally groomed woman never looks as if she had just left a beauty salon. Her hair is so attractive all the time that you never can tell exactly which day of the week she does have a professional shampoo and wave. However, don’t think for one minute that her coiffure just stays that way. Whether she admits it or not, she knows a few little tricks which preserve the hairdressers’ handiwork. She Knows How She may know how to push combs into the waves the hairdresser created, or enough about finger-waving to keep waves from flattening out, becoming too shallow. Undoubtedly, she knows how to make soft ringlets. Perhaps her dressing table drawer is equipped with a couple of the new metal curler gadgets, one small for neckline curls, one larger for halo rolls and such. The simplest-to-use gadget on the market comes in a box with wave-set lotion and dozens of little bobby pins, One simply places a bobby pin in the end of the curler, winds the hair, then removes the curler, leaving the bobby pin in the ringlet. When dry, extract the pin, brush out the ringlet and comb it around one finger. A young secretary whose budget Is pretty limited goes to a beauty shop only once a month, gets a haircut, professional shampoo and wave. The rest of the time she washes her own hair, knows how to make a swirl across the back and two vertical rolls which extend from the jawline behind ears to the crown of the head. It so happens that she doesn't need waves at all, If she did, she probably would learn to use water wave combs as expertly as she uses the curlers which form ringlets that are later brushed out to form rolls. If you are going to spend your

winter vacation in a spot far from beauty salons, you might learn to arrange a coiffure which makes use of curls instead of waves. Try a topknot of ringlets or little rolls at the front, and ringlet ends, of course. Or make ringlets all over your head, then brush hair upward all the way around, pinning the curled ends together on top. Remember, of course, how impor= tant it is to brush your hair each and every night. Brushing keeps the scalp free from flecks of dry cuticle, gives the hair a glossy sheen, lengthens the life of waves and curls. If you shampoo at home now and then, give hair a hand drying— in the sunshine, if possible.
