Raising a Family— Cleanliness Is Preferred By Children

It’s Only Excitement That Makes Other Things More Important.

(Second of a Series)

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Children are proud. Even

baby is proud. It goes back to the |

“self-complex” that nature has endowed him with.

They really prefer to be clean, al- | though we have trouble with John- |

ny’s ears sometimes. It is not the ears being clean that bothers

Johnny, for he doesn’t love dirt, but |

just that other things become so terribly exciting and important, and washing such a bore, that he is impatient. I feel urged to repeat that children prefer order and cleanliness to disorder and grime. In this day and age of good housekeeping, a chapter on home condi-

tions may seem useless, but let us |

go on with it anyway, if only to

give the tired mother a hand when | she wonders why she tries so hard | nobody |

to keep things nice and seems to appreciate it. . Instill Self-Respect She may not realize that nicely scrubbed kitchen or smoothly-spread beds, the mended clothes and carefully-set tables are having an effect upon the character of the family, but these things are the very essence of self-respect. It is not only true that cleanliness (and order) is next to godliness, but that the two are almost inseparable. The little child who goes to school all tousled and unkempt, won't compare himself to the few who keep him company in his looks, but to those others, the better-groomed. He won't hang his head and show that he is ashamed. Maybe he isn’t ashamed at that. But he is quietly sorting his place in things Tt won't be at the top. He says to himself, “1 don’t belong. I may as well act that way, too.” And maybe he learns to hate children not in his own fix. He makes a survey age, and that's what be, generally speaking. He need not be as well dressed as the richer child, but his clothes should be somewhere near to what most of the others are wearing. And they should be in order.

Home? bright and clean with all vou have to do, mother? Well, you can’t do more than your strength permits, that's sure, or your time, either, so just do the best you can. But many homes are complicated by too many things. It might help to strip away the extras and the clutter. Tt better to sacrifice some luxury to peace of mind. Not only this, but the family should help. Let each member do his bit to help you along. After all, it is their house as well as yours. Then, too, every child can learn to slick himself up. Even tiny chil-

dren can pick up a brush and wash

rag and go at it Order and cleanliness is such an important factor in family happiness and self-respect that they are worth a tremendous effort to obtain. Pride in person, pride in house and pride in place count for more than many parents think.

Third-Rate Diet Prevails in Many Families, Survey Shows

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.—~Many

an American family {hat would not

buy second-hand furniture or wear second-hand clothes is eating a third-

rate diet.

This is apparent from a survey of typical food expenditures

made by Dr. Hazel K. Stiebeling of the U. S. Burtau of Home Economics

which the Bureau published here

the chief factor responsible for the poor nutritional quality of the

family’s diet. At every expenditure level above $100 per person per year, some families were able to provide themselves with very good diets. The reason more families do not get good diets is chiefly because they do not know how to select the most nourishing foods for the money. As might be expected, the tables of the well-to-do families were more frequently and more liberally supplied with milk, butter, eggs, fruits and green and leafy vegetables. These are classed by nutritionists as the “protective foods” because

and also against numerous minor degrees of ill health and under nutrition. Families spending less than $85 per year per person for food, as | might also be expected, got very poor diets. At the median expendityre level, however, which is $130 per person per year, almost one-half were eating a third-rate diet and nearly an-

other fifth a very poor diet. At this expenditure level a little more than one-fifth of the families had a firstrate diet. Three-fourths of the families

Chocolate Petal Wins Wide F avor

‘Brown Sugar Sauce and | Creamy Rice Pudding Popular Dessert.

By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX Chocolate Petal dessert is just an old smoothy when it comes to | pleasing men. Some mothers who diet won't welcome it, but the youngsters will. So begin unwrapping your chocolate.

Chocolate Petal Dessert Serves 4)

One and three-quarter cups milk, 15 cup sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, % teaspoon salt, 2 squares unsweetened chocolate, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 2 ounces wainut meats, 8 marshallows. Heat milk in top of double boiler. Mix sugar and salt. Slowly add to milk. Beat constantly.

| Add chocolate, cut in pieces, and |

| continue to beat until dissolved. | Cook 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Beat egg, add to mixture and cook only 1 minute. Remove from heat, cool slightly, then add vanilla, nuts cut in pieces and 6 marshallows cut in quarters. Pour into serving dishes and garnish with marshmallow flowers. To make flowers, cut the remaining marshmallows cross-wise in half and then cut each half almost to the center in 8 sections. Separate petals and place this flower on top of each pudding with some chopped nuts in the center. Cover a plain cottage pudding with brown sugar sauces and it will taste pretty smooth, too.

Brown Sugar Sauce (Serves 4 to 6)

One cup granulated raw brown sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1% cups water, 2 egg yolks, pinch salt, 2’: tablespoons brandy. Combine sugar and cornstarch. Slowly add water and stir until well blended. Slowly bring to boil and continue to boil for four minues, stirming constantly. Beat egg yolk. Gradually pour the sugar mixture on the | beaten yolks, beating vigorously | with a whip. When all is harmony, add the brandy a little at a time. Now bring on your hot cottage pudding. Pretty smooth for the man of the house. “Rice pudding has a bad name for simplicity. But make the smooth creamy type with not an egg present and serve it chilled in a dark china dish with a garnish of gooseberry jam on its snowy bosom and many a man will stoop to conquer. Creamy Rice Pudding (Serves 4 generously) Two tablespoons raw white rice, 2 cup sugar 1! teaspoon salt, 1 | quart whole milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla, few drops bitter almond extract.

Dale Carnegie of Art Is Need|

Ot U. S., New York Painter Says

By CECIL CARNES Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Feb. 1—America needs a Dale Carnegie of Art to | translate its values to the masses and sell it to them, Jane Peterson, one of the nation’s foremost women water-color painters, said today. In the meantime, Miss Peterson declared in her studio-home, struggling artists should help themselves by reproducing their works in newspaper advertisements. They should forget old conventions, she ventured, and start regarding paintings as merchandise instead of some mysterious mental offspring. ® “Artists are so stupid, as a class, ) that it is pathetic,” she said. “They | foster the idea that art is something of an occult science, and that some people just can't ever appreciate it. “Why, everyone needs several paintings in his home. They are the most important things in any room. They are at eye level. They are cheap, for you buy them for yourself and for posterity. They can raise the cultural level of the masses. And a good painting can change your entire perspective and make you successful in whatever you want to do.”

Key to Life

She explained that by the follow- | mg example: A clerk works hard all day in an office. When he goes home he needs absolute rest. If he buys a painting possessing great beauty and colors that please him, he can arrange the color motif of his surroundings to match the painting and thus obtain “rejuvenation at the same time he rests.” Miss Peterson said you could just imagine what this would do to improve anyone’s work. “A good painting in your home can change your luck,” she said. “The subject has nothing to do with it. It’s all the way the work is it. You can find the key to all done and whether or not you like things through an appreciation of | beauty.” : Her own life is a case in point, Miss Peterson said. She had an intense desire to paint, so she borrowed $300 and left her Middle Western town. She lived for a year, bought colors, materials, food, tickets to “peanut heaven at the opera” and paid art school tuition and $4.50 a month for a hall bedroom in Brooklyn.

Met Henry L. Doherty

It was during that time that she became acquainted with Henry L. Doherty, then a rising your industrialist, but he wanted to smoke when he took her to the theater,

| |

and back in Elgin, Ill, a man was thought not to respect a woman when he smoked in her presence. Miss Peterson paid back her bor- | rowed $300 and later studied with Brangwyn and Sordlla.

She visited nearly all of the civilized world and painted what she saw, winning many prizes for her water colors. In 1925 she married the late M. Bernard Philipp, an internationally famous lawyer. “Painting has been a terribly hard life,” she said. “All you get out of it is the fun of doing the work. It is the poorest paid work in the world. I probably lose money ton all the work I do now, but I | shall never stop. Make each painting better than the last one is my credo. But so few people are art conscious, or even know the value of colors.” Most hospitals, for instance, should be done over in more restful colors, she said. But she agreed that no color could ever make a dentist's office restful.

“Blue is the intellectual ‘color. If a man wants to get a job through impressing an employer that he is intelligent he should wear a blue suit and a blue tie. A torch singer In a night club should wear red— it’s the physical color.” Since Miss Peterson is a friend of Dale Carnegie she recalled this incident—in the Carnegie manner.

“I went to a party the other day, wearing a pretty dress, but no one noticed me. I wondered about it, then had a red dress made. It was no more beautiful than the other garment, but everyone noticed me at the next party.”

Personality and Dress Comfort As Glamour Aids

By ALICIA HART You may be sure that a truly striking woman-—one who always is sparkling, perfectly groomed and beautifully dressed-realizes fully the importance of thinking of her clothes, her personality and her personal appearance as three factors which make the finished picture. She places equal emphasis on beauty routines, selection of clothes and the business of keeping her mind alert, disposition pleasant. If you want to look your best, day in and day out, stop drawing mental lines between your clothes and your appearance and your personality. The dowdy girl with the excellent mind doesn’t quite measure up. People who meet her wish she would try to look at least half as attractive as she really is. And the pretty, nicely turned out little dummy whose lips utter nonsense and whose face is quite expressionless unless she’s talking about her-
