Generosity In Children Is Admirable

Mothers. Should Try Not

To Discourage Natural Trait in Baby. -

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Often my readers wonder why I am 50. easy on little folk when I suggest a little harder bearing-down later. But this is because very early

childhood is the time for coaxing out the good in each tiny being, Father than trying to crush him with too rigid discipline. You can’t live day by day with a cute baby of tender years without realizing that he is rather a grand person. Babies. get all mixed up with the world and our grown-up standards, that is the trouble, and are expected to conform to things as we parents see them. Besides life is a jumble for these tots. They are forced out of their element too often. One of the nicest things about Jackie, or small Kay, is their generosity. They have it in them naturally at this age. Self, the enemy of most good behavior, has not yet become too conscious. They want to give us a bit of their apple, a piece of their bread, a toy to play

. with. No one pays much attention

to them or their impulsive proffers of goodies. :

Instinctively Generous

This is a pity, because right here we have the makings of a real generosity that will last. Like the flower that grows from the seed, so do all habits grow from small and insignificant beginnings. The little

, child will not need to be taught °~ generosity, if he is encouraged to

continue right on with it as he has started. Quite often, mother, you intervene when he gives his new horn or car to alittle chum to play with. “I can’t let ,Tommy destroy our boy’s toys,” you explain. “We can’t replace them. Things cost money.” It is costly, sometimes, this generosity of the baby. But everything costs a price. It will pay to let him be magnanimous in his small way, perhaps t always, but often

_enough to \retain the habit.

He is an Indian giver, very frequently, anid wants things back. Let that alone. He has a reason. Maybe he is just trying to find out if other people will give to him what he gives them.

An Experiment

If Jackie is getting selfish to your way of thinking, and won’t share. as much as you think he should, then try this. Have him give a toy to someone he likes very much, or even to his beloved pet. He will usually hand over the toy to an object of his affection. Work along from this, and expand his favors, using the friend as a medium. By associating ideas, our tiny son or daughter may learn that giving to anyone at all is a grand feeling.

\ "°° Today’s Pattern

With spring and summer coming on, your small daughter can’t have too many fresh cotton frocks, and Pattern R175 is one that you can make wZh a minimum of time and expense. She’ll be delighted with the tight little bodice, its round collar, the skirt that flares and ripples about her knees, and the sash that ties in a bow at the back! In sheer cotton like dimity or organdy, she can wear it to parties, or in sturdier gingham or printed percale it is appropriate for play. The collar and sleeve bands may be white or in some pretty contrasting color. ; You'll find this dress is very little trouble to make.

wearable; they're decorative, too, and far, far from dull! Stores are putting particular stress on the very young folks’ clothes and we have a grand chance to see how interesting they are. And there are lots of us who are going to think back a bit grimly of the dresses we used to wear as compared ,with the ones today. . Cater to Style Sense ! For instance, did the stores cater to our style sense with suits especially tailored for chunky little girls? Or lanky girls? Or those all elbows and knees? - But that’s what they're doing nowadays, and not only with suits—with all kinds of dresses and coats as well. It’s a wonderful age for the gawky child, who, thanks to astute

designers, can hide her gawkiness under flattering clothes!

If she’s 15, say, and doesn’t like to wear childish clothes, but at the same time shouldn’t wear “grown-up” clothes, then there are special costumes (such as the one at the left in the sketch) that suit her

Just exactly.

They are smart, youthful and somehow just right.

- School Frocks Attractive

However, it’s not just Miss Twixteen who comes in for all this fashion attention. Especially attractive are some of the school frocks for the bright young things of 6, 7 and thereabouts. These are joys to both children and parents. The suits are washable, and in many cases let-out-able, and practical for play or parties.. They are smartly designed, so that the child herself is thrilled with them—and, as any parent knews, this is essential for a successful dress. In this category is the jumper dress. Here's a style that’s

been popular since the year 1—and now more so than ever. The jumpers of 1938 are made in such a

Bitters Add Zest to Dishes; ‘Crepes Suzette Recipe Given

BY MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX

Bitterness will age a woman. But bitters in food will add sprightliness.

Cream of Cucumber Soup

(Serves 6) Two large cucumbers, 4 tablespoons butter, 3 tablespoons flour, 3 cups white stock, 1 cup milk, 3 cup cream, salt and pepper, 2 teaspoons bitters. Peel and thinly slice cucumbers. Cook in 2 tablespoons butter for 10 minutes. In the meantime melt the remaining butter, add flour and stir until smooth. Add milk and stock gradually and cook until mixture thickens, stirring constantly. Add cucumber; let cook slowly until soft and transparent, about 15 minutes, then rub through fine sieve. Reheat; season with salt and pepper; add cream, and 2 teaspoons bitters just before serving. There was a luncheon of bitters at the Hotel Pierre recently. It closed on anything by a bitter note. Crepes Suzette was the tender finale: Crepes Suzette Six - tablespoons sifted flour, 1% teaspoon sugar, 2 eggs, 1 cup milk, 4 teaspoon vegetable oil. Combine fiour, salt .and sugar. Beat eggs with rotary beater until very light. Add flour mixture, beating with rotary beater until smooth. Add milk slowly, beating constantly. Add vegetable oil. Grease very small pan (or pans). When hot, pour on a very little batter, only enough to cover the bottom of pan in thin film, shaking and tilting pan so that the batter spreads evenly. Brown lightly on one side. Turn carefully with spatula and brown on other side. Remove from pan and keep in warming oven until ready to serve. 5
