Raising a Family—
Tact Needed For Control Of ‘Secrets’
Childs Tendecy to ‘Fib’ May Pass Quickly, but ~ Should Be Watched.
(Twenty-fifth of a Series)
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON There are secrets and secrets, just as there are fibs and fibs. Some are not so bad, and some are very bad. Let us look, mother; and talk it over. Recently we went over the fourth-year child with a pretty finetooth comb, and together we discovered what he was made of, how self-conscious he is, and how proud. But we're not through with him yet. He is too interesting to drop right here. He has some funny little habits
and secrets.
»
May Start Fibbing
When he suddenly steps through his looking glass into the world of
realism, and pinches himself to see |-
if he is really himself, he doesn’t feel in the least bound to let on about all he knows. * He is very fond of keeping things hidden, literally and figuratively. He may hide his mitten or his toy for no reason at all, and hug himself ecstatically, because no one knows it.
He may even tell mummy that Tommy took it. Or that it went off all by itself and got lost. He will dig it up after a while, or maybe forget it altogether. He may tell the truth, or again he may not. He doesn’t remember things very long. His tendency to secrets may be a passing phase, so brief that you won't notice. But if he happens to be smacked for not speaking out or for diverting the truth into a fairy tale, he’ may think: “I don’t
like to have -people knowing all |
about the things I do. But when they begin to get upset, and talk about it and tell Grandma and Mrs. Brown and everybody, then I’m. not going ever, ever again to tell anybody anything.” He isn’t a planner—much—but all this comes to the fore the next time he decides to bury his ball. He hears when you call, but he stays where he is, and later wanders complacently out into full view" of the kitchen windows, when the queer little urge has passed.
~ Innocent Mischief
He shouldn't worry you. You might sing out, “Oh, there you are, honey. Why didn’t you tell me? Now it’s my turn to hide and you hunt me.” A little game has erased the adventure.; There is'a limit. He can develop the habit of secrecy in general to an annoying degree. We must try to lead lim as best we may, and encourage him to be frank, open and truthful. But don’t be tempted to call him bad when he has only a natural motive, and a very usual one, behind his actions.
Today’s Pattern
No need to point to the youthful ~ epaulet shoulder on Pattern 8123 to find its first claim to charm. The bows poised on each shoulder and on the i roan) of the bodice are quite rin and new. The deep yoke back . and front, reaching to the waistline, gives a long, wide look to the bodice that is kind to the figure. The skirt . flares slightly below the narrow waistline. As a dress for daytime wear, for business and school it can
~ be made up in thin wool, in printed crepe or one of the new cottons.

Welcome as the daffodils that herald spring are the lacy fol-de-rols. that perk up somber frocks and soften the severity of tailored suits. Cheers, too, for the little lace boleros that are spice for full-flowing chiffon waltz gowns and sheathlike cling-
ing crepes.
To what heights the popularity of lace trim is soaring is easily seen from the . Many: leading French dress houses are showing numbers of costumes with lingerie touches, tailleurs featured with lacy vestees,
cabled descriptions of Paris
and evening costumes of lace—and with lace.
In fact, say the reports, feminine
touches are extending to ruffles, frills, bows and such-not in exciting profusion.
So far the Paris openings are just ge
under way, but it’s apparent from the
number of collections shown to date ‘what important roles these delicate details are playing: In the Robert Piquet group we learn that short evening boleros are emphasized, and many of these in lace and sheer materials embroidered with bright threads. Jacques Heim, too, is stressing the abbreviated jacket, and many of his are filmy contrasts
to the heavier fabrics of the gown.
In the collection of Bruyere black dresses, some on the simplest possible lines, are accented with lingerie trim. Lace collars, and cuffs, frequently caught with little colored bows, appear particularly important. In this group is a stunning black lace dress of the hostess type, worn with a white lace mantilla—doubtless inspired by the Goya exhibit,
Lucile Paray and Jenny—now one house, Lucile
Paray-Jenny—emphasizes in their collection the im-
portance - of lace vestees with suits, and feminine
blouses in organdies,
some of these masses of
ruffles Femininity is undoubtedly a talking and wearing point in many of the costumes shown by Rosevie
enne.
Several ensembles are composed of a light
dress under an eyelet embroidery or organza coat. Fine pleats, lace insets, Rana openwers; and tuck-
ings soften many evening as well as afternoon models. These Paris collections, like fin-
‘gers pointing fashionward for the
coming season, indicate in no uncertain manner that even though we're heading straight for a suit
* season, we are also in for a strong
streak of femininity.
One of the new lace boleros to add charm to evening frocks is the one at the right, above. It’s made of ruffles, and more ruffles. The little lace bolero at the left is a simpler style and ideally suited to either evening, afternoon or hostess frocks.
Top, youthful and flattering is®
this round collar with scalloped edging made of ruffles of Val lace. To feminize that tailored suit this vestee with collar and jabot of
novelty ecru lace, above. A tailored collar and . cuff set (right) in altepnating "Val and Alencon types.

Out of Seaso Fresh by

garden, the term “fresh” used for vegetables and fruit doesn’t mean what it says. How could it? Citybound garden truck must come from the country—by rail, by ship, by bus, and by airplane in some cases. But time elapses between the hour of their picking and their arrival in our city. Then they must be auctioned at the wholesale market. Next they go to a fruit and vegetable jobber who in turn sells them to your local vegetable man, He must display them and wait for you to buy them. So you can see that the word “fresh” has been stretched to cover a multitude of minutes. Greatly improved methods of quick freezing catch the vegetables and fruits with the dew still on them, and freeze them in that state. From that moment on, no matter how far they travel or how long they wait for you to cook them, their freshness remains practically the same. Until the moment you thaw them out in your kitchen skillet, they do not change. That is all ene of those scientific marvels which limited space here prevents plaining. - Cost Is Relative
Are these labor-saving and vor-saving foods expensive? When peas are growing in all the gardens nearby, you will find frosted peas expensive compared to the local peas. But when the winter snows are on the ground and peas must
