New York Letter
Novel Tree
Made of
Plumage
By JOSEPHINE HUGHES
All this Christmas talk re
minds me, that you must order
one of Ruth Ka u f man’s
“Plumed Knight” trees instead
of the conventional fir or spruce.
Great wavy shoots of white os
trich feathers fashion this novel
tree with pale pink, blue, red
or green lights illuminated
within, casting a magical glow
through the plumage. They
come in small sizes for the table,
and shoot right up to great tow
ering affairs. They’ve taken
New York by storm, so send
your order right now.
You’ll be interested to know
that when your boy friend,
Cholly Knickerbocker, told “the
Fashion Group” that the women
going around with their hair
piled on top of their heads
looked like the feminine mem
bers of his household on the way
to take a bath, there was a burst
of applause. This rather startled
me because this group repre
sents the diehards of the up
ward coiffure tug-of-war.
Needless to say I was delighted
that Mr. Knickerbocker said just
what he thought, because, as you
know, I couldn’t agree with him
more. I’ll wager that within a
month many a hair salon will
start the down-with-the-hair cam
paign.
And will Ibe glad! Honestly,
I’ll bet when I’m old and grey
and think back to 1938, I’ll
completely forget that the world
nearly went to war; that a
man named Chamberlain took
his first airplane flight across
the continent to persuade a fel
low named Hitler to come to
terms; that a guy named Mus
solini stirred up a lot of trouble
in Italy, and that the President
of the U. S. A. had a wife who
lived on trains and airplanes.

Quintuplets
Teach Babies Control
While They’re Little
By ALLAN ROY DAFOE, M. D.
Personal Physician to the Dionne Quintuplets
(Copyright, 1938, by King Features Syndicate, Inc.)
THERE is nothing that will give a mother greater satis
faction than to teach her baby to control bowel move
ments. I know how many people will pooh-pooh the idea
that small babies can be taught this but our experience with
the quintuplets has shown that it can be done.
The time to start this train
ing is right after the child is
bom, make no mistake about
that. For if
you start
then you get
the Infant be
fore it has
learned any
careless
habits about
bowel move
ments. Just
re m e m b e r
that a per
son’s educa
tion begins as
soon as he is
born, so start
your child out
right. Andm
teaching him
saving yourself a great deal of
unpleasant work.
Older Generation
May Laugh
This is a new. departure in
child hygiene. Twenty or
thirty years ago, we never
thought of such a thing as
teaching a newborn child bowel
control. So don’t be disturbed
if some of the older generation
laugh at you. The old-timers
-know plenty about bringing up
children. But they don't know
it all because new things are
learned all the time.
Don’t defer this training more
THE WASHINGTON TIMES, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1938
than the first month of the
child’s life. Everyone knows
that as soon as the baby has
nursed digestion begins at once.
Then as the food passes down,
the bowels begin to do the work
for which they are intended.
Thus when the mother changes
her baby, she should observe
at what time of the day the
bowel movements come. You
will be surprised how regular
these movements are. That is
so long as there has been abso
lute regularity in feeding; this
is a very important factor.
You will find that your child’s
body has an instinctive rhythm.
By observation you can learn
what this is and take advantage
of it.
Child's
Question
Child’s Question Editor:
My 6-year-old cousin was ex
cited about school opening.
About a week before she said to
her mother, “Mamma, are you
going to get me a pocketbook
for school?” Her mother said,
“What do you want a pocket
book for?” She said, “Well,
don’t I have to pay my way in
and out?”

Fairfax
Letters
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
DEAR Miss Fairfax:
Six months ago I met a
young man who happened to
make a business call on my
employer. He said he fell in
love with me at sight. I went
out with him several times,
and then he went back to his
home office. Before leaving,
however, he told me he was
engaged and had expected to
be married very soon. He
said he had been engaged for
several years, and that all
plans had been made, even to
selecting home and furniture.
He told me he really loved his
fiancee until he met me, but
felt that he’d made a mistake
and would break his engage
ment.
Can He Be
Trutted Completely
We’ve been corresponding
ever since, and I feel as if I love
him, too. He always tells me he
loves me, and has been to see
me several times in this last six
months. But what bothers me
is this: How do I know he really
is to be trusted? If he was so
sure he loved this other girl and
then changed his mind over
night. what could I expect?
Should I continue this friend
ship or just drift away gently,
and perhaps save myself the
same heart-break he must have
caused the other girl. He is 27
years; I am 22. EDITH.
I’m not surprised, my dear,
that you are in doubt about the
steadfastness of a man who goes
as far as selecting home and
furniture for his coming mar
riage to another girl and then
breaks the engagement, just be
cause he fell in love with you at
sight.
Do Not Consider
Yourself Bound
You do not tell me if, in the
time that he has been coming
to see you and corresponding,
he has mentioned marriage or
not. If he has not, I shouldn't
take him seriously, nor con
sider myself bound in any way.
Why not just go along as you
have in the past? If by the end
of a year or so you still feel
rather uncertain of him, and
your plans are no more definite
than at present, it would be a
good plan to break away en
tirely.
Careen
Saved Lives
During
Depression
By BETTY NOWELL
Head homemaker of the
whole United States is Dr.
Louise Stanley, chief of the
Bureau of Home Economics
in the Department of Agri
culture, a job that’s not as
dull as the title might lead,
you to believe.
She makes homes on a big
scale that is gigantic when you
realize how small she is her
self, a little bit of a person
who saved a good many lives in
the bitter days of the depres
sion.
It fell to Dr. Stanley to esti
mate how much of which vita
min was necessary for the
growth of a child whose parents
had only pennies to spend for
food. It was, and still is, her
job to figure out minimum
diets for the poor.
And she discovers as well, the
best ways to cook meats and
vegetables to get the most out
of them in flavor and nutrition,
and for this she has a staff of
hundreds, from scientists to
just plain cooks.
She came from Tennessee,
originally, and she studied in
Nashville, Chicago and New
York. In addition to degrees in
education and science, she holds
a Ph.D. awarded to her by Yale
for her investigations into nutri
tion.
She was teaching in the Uni
versity of Missouri, teaching, of
course, home economics, when
she got her first Government ap
pointment. It was to her present
job, for she is first chief of the
bureau, and began her Govern
ment career with its establish
ment in 1923.
She has light eyes and sandy
hair, and she’s shy, especially
with interviewers. But there is
a rumor in the bureau that she
can be very firm, when it's neces
sary.
She belongs to several clubs,
but her chief spare-time occupa
tion is her adopted daughter,
Nancy.
“I spend most of my time at
home,” Dr. Stanley said, “trying
•to keep her home when she has
a cold.”
Vacuum Entire Room
If you are unlucky enough to
find worms under a rug or car
pet, they may be the case
making clothes moth. In any
event, thoroughly cleanse the
floor covering by good use of
the vacuum cleaner on both
sides. Then, if possible, hang
it outside for two or three days.

When you join a gym you will be surprised to
hear the directors tell you to rest on the bicycle
movement.
You have 'to support the body while the legs
move rhythmically and vigorously. There is a
good healthy strain on every part of the body.
It is fine for circulation and general waking up
and will help to give you a good balance. Priscilla

PURCHASING ONIONS
Penny Wise:
TJENNY buys onions in bulk
* which have good keeping
qualities. She tells the grocer
the qualities she desires, the size
and varieties which she has
found satisfactory. She buys
mild flavored onions for cook
ing and a few of the stronger
variety for seasoning. When
she wants onions for salad or
sandwiches she will order the
Valencia, which is a large mild
type of onion grown in the
Southwest. As a rule Southern
onions do not have the keeping
qualities of Northern ones and
therefore are not purchased in
quantities. The most important
Southern onions are the Ber
mudas.

Ttltphonu RE publie 1234
’ WHEN we begin to feel all routine and physical
’’ exercises are a dull waste of time, we are
slipping or getting lazy, or possibly telling our
selves we are past the age when one should be
slender and active. Foolish we—just as if there
was any age limit to physical or mental alertness;
and the best part of a daily routine is it wards off
the stiffness and stoginess we all seem to antici
pate with advancing years.
There are a few young persons whose urge to
be on the go keeps them far too thin and nervous
and they must be encouraged to rest and conserve
their strength, but they are generally the excep
tion. Most of us need no encouragement to find
the comfortable chairs or to indulge in the long
afternoon siestas so disastrous to the slender hips
and dainty chinline we all crave.
Exercises are not boring provided they are
done with energy and the best time to begin is
with the morning stretching and deep breathing.
When we start the day with good fresh air in the
lungs and the stretching it takes to wake up the
dormant muscles, we are going to be active the
rest of the day; we will have to be active, our
whole system will demand it just as it calls for
food.
For those who may be in the long-time-ago-no
exercise class we suggest that you make a list of
the movements you feel you need. Write them
down and put the list up in the bathroom or
where you will have to look at it the first thing in
the morning. Then after a few weeks you will
jump up and do your exercises with the same en
joyment you derive from your dancing.
The professional dancers we all admire and
envy are the most active of all entertainers. They
would rather miss a meal than any exercise
period and have learned it is the only way they
can keep the muscles firm and capable of doing
the intricate movements so beautiful to the eye.
One of our close acquaintances who is a well
known dancer tells us there is no physical weari
ness or nervousness that can’t be relieved with a
good vigorous workout on the bar or in some
activity.
Send for the illustrated set of “Normalizing
Exercises’’ which contains all the necessary move
ments. Please enclose a stamped, self-addressed
envelope for your reply. Address Donna Grace,
Beauty Editor of this paper.
Betty Littlewit:
SOME chemists of agriculture
are trying to deodorize the
onion, so that in a few years
Betty’s problems in onion pur
chasing will be solved. She
makes a mistake in thinking
that any old kind of an onion
will do. She doesn’t say what
size sack she wants, as each
size sack has a definite weight.
She doesn't specify sizes or
uses which would give the gro
cer a chance to send her a sat
isfactory kind. If she person
ally selected them she should
try to get firm, well developed
ones with dry, clean brittle
outer skins, free from cuts,
cracks or smutty streaks.
