RAC IEC OLA ORY
How You Run Your Home Of Greater Importance Than Its Size or Location
Right Kind of Mother Will
Bring Up Children Better
Than Her More Fortunate Sister, Olive Barton Declares.
(First of
a Series)
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
Home means home, not just a place to grow up in.
Perhaps your
home, Mother, is a little apartment of three or four cozy rooms, or it may be a huge Georgian house in the midst of a landscaped estate.
Maybe you are a mistress of a farmhouse, or again your world may
rub shoulders with other houses in
the row exactly like your own. It
does not matter what “home” is, but it really does matter how your
home is.
Children do better. as we know, in places where cleanliness, sunshine and leg-room are possible, and cramped quarters are enemies of
all three usually; but even with some of these things absent, it is possible for the parent to make home a haven of cheeriness, peace and happiness. | The right kind of mother, with a pleasant personality and good judg- | ment may succeed where her better- | to-do sister fails, in spite of the | handicaps of money and lack in | conveniences.
Mrs. Wiggs Knew How
Our old friend Mrs. Wiggs, who | lived on the other side of the tracks, | gave her family a richness of experience that had nothing to draw from but her own hearty, kind self. To me she had everything, a lively sense of humor, imagination and enough determination to carry through an idea. Strange for me to draw on a humble character of fiction, popuiar a quarter of a century ago, and this in the face of today's drive to educate parents in the new way. But not seo strange. when we consider that applied psychology takes it for granted that parents are equipped within themselves to apply the rules.
@®
The whole scheme of child raising, whether scientifically or amateurishly carriad out, depends on | you, mother and daddy, after all. | All the tomes in the world are as| useless to the modern parent as a | book on flying would be to a minor | if, in himself or herself, the parent | lacks the home-making qualities. ! The child-raising instinct develops | with the arrival of children,
No Parent Is Perfect
However this may be, no parent is perfect. Some fail in part and | some altogether. It has always been | this way and probably always will. Grandma has been laughed at for | her peculiar methods, but she turned out some fine citizens just' the same, Her methods were simple. | She and Grandpa may have been a | bit too strict, but the danger today | is in not being strict enough, if we] can read the signs. | We go through eras and changes. It is all comparative. Today's children cannot be compared fairly with yesterday's, as environment and] tempo have changed. We can never catch up. As soon as we prepare them for one, as we think, fixed | condition, by the time they
| |
are | grown, the outlook has disappeared | to make room for something else. | The one thing that never changes, | or shouldn't, is the home. The] parent is the home. Ability to de- | velop character and adaptability in | the growing child, so that the boy | and the girl can meet all conditions, is the last word in any language. NEXT — Children’s Pride in Parents and Home.
Development of Beauty Depends On Proper Diet
By ALICIA HART The beauty of eyes, hair, skin, | teeth and finger nails, as well as the | figure, depends on proper food. One who wants to develop her full beauty
potentialities and still retain attractive proportions without resorting |
to reducing diets must plan meals | ©
rather carefully. According to W. H. Evert, director of the New York Institute of Dietetics, teeth and nails need calcium, phosphorus and vitamins. “This means plenty of milk, cheese, buttermilk, vegetables such as tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce, onions, turnips, radishes, kohlrabi, asparagus and Swiss chard. Also fruits— strawberries, grapes, grapefruit, pineapple and orange juice.
Iron Is Needed
“Iron helps produce red corpuscles which from the foundation of an attractive complexion,” Mr. Evert continues. “It is found in green vegetables—watercress, dandelion greens, turnips, spinach. Egg yolk, liver and various fruits (raisins, dried figs and prunes, for example) also are rich in iron.” Mr. Evert recommends milk and leafy vegetables (cabbage, lettuce, spinach) and fish and seafood ior those who want to improve the condition of their hair. Italian girls owe liberal use of olive oil credit for their gorgeous, healthy tresses, he thinks. The dietetic scientist advises every woman who has to worry about her weight to get a calorie chart from her doctor or the local board of health, and to watch it carefully when planning her menus. It is possible to have all you want to eat and NOT gain weight. The trick lies in eating quantities of low calorie foods instead of small portions of high calorie ones. Naturally, adequate exercise, mental as well as physical, and sufficient sleep make for clear, sparkling, shiny hair and lovely skin, too. Loss of sleep over a continued period of weeks will do as much to make your complexion unattractive as over-indulgence in the wrong kind of food.

By HELEN WELSHIMER
NEW YORK. Jan. 3{.—If the women you know suddenly have be- | | come air-travel minded, the credit probably will go to Helen Stansbury. | As the director of the women's traffic division of the United Air Lines
—and incidentally the only woman executive in the American air transport field—it is her duty to talk women into “going up.”
Yet, when she decided that some company ought to create a job such as she now holds and went out to explain her plans to air executives, she was a pedestrian, earth-bound traveler.
“How much air travel have you |
had?” she was asked. “I've never been up in my life— except in a barn-storming crate when I was 16,” she answered. “And you want to talk to women about aviation?” “Yes. You men know too much about it.” Today, after more than two months in her job, she has flown 16,000 miles, talking to groups of women from coast to coast, explaining the safety and comfort of air travel. “Women aren't interested in a ship's altimeter and the fact that it climbs on one engine instead of two,” she explains. “But these technical things are the features
which men always explain. Women
want to know if they can wear white gloves and keep them clean; what the food is like; if Johnnie or Susie is in danger of falling out, if taken along, and whether or not the child is likely to become airsick. “One girl, meeting her fiance in Chicago on his return from China, wanted to fly because of the extra time it would add to their visit but hesitated because she didn't know if she would look well-groomed. If you want to be immaculate, fly! Wear picture hats, lounging pajamas, or an evening gown. It's the most convenient method of travel. I try to tell women what they want to know.” Miss Stansbury believes that the fact that she, too, is adventuring in the air crates a sympathetic bond between her and the women who ask her service. Although loop the loops at $3 a series comprised her aerial preparation for her new work, Miss Stansbury is unusually well-fitted for her job. In childhood she lived and studied in Vienna, Paris, London and Berlin where her father, Dr. H. H. Stansbury, of Baltimore, was doing special surgical work. Later she lived in Honolulu and Alaska. She traveled widely—but by train and boat. Completing her college work at Smith, Columbia and George Washington Universities, she embarked on a career that concerned itself mostly with special public speaking work in the publicity field. Both to groups and individuals she sold through her voice and personality. She likes to address audiences. Once she thought of being an actress. She also likes to travel and adventure. Now she combines her interest as she talks the women of the land into travel by air.
