Mulish Father
Dulls Family
Summer Fun
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
During the hot summers of *S3
and '34 I recommended the back
yard picnic to break the monotony
of the doldrums. A letter received
from one mother went something
like this:
"You don't know my old man
He hates picnics, and he hates any
thing that gives other people fun.
I tried the back porch on him a
couple of times and did he yelp.
"All he wants to do Is to sit at
the some old table and smoke the
same old pipe In his flat-tired chair
night in and nteht out and never
say a word. Unless I spring some
thing like a picnic on the porch.
Then he says plenty.’’
Turns Into Grumbler
Yes, many a man Is like that
When he gets over his picnic days,
he gets over them! He wasn't like
(hat when he put on his Sunday
clothes and carried his best girls'
basket two miles through swamp*
grass, then proceeded to show her
what grand husband-material he
was by helping the ladles open stub
born Jars, build the fire, fill the
buckets at the nearest farmhouse
Sump half a mile away, and wind up
y neglecting her most of the day
while he taught the kiddies to swim
Until the moon came up. Then she
suddenly became Important.
Life’s that way. Now when she
does all the work, he grumbles at
the suggestion of a meal where the
wind blows. Now that he has child
ren of his own. he wouldn’t teach
thpm to swim If the Atlantic Ocean
were set In his lap — much less
eat cold ham and thin sandwiches
from a chair in an unaccustomed
place.
Excuse me. father. This la not
for you. I know what daddies do
for kids — how they do sacrifice
and work to provide. And I know
too, how proud they are of their
children and love to 6ee them hap
py. It Is your brother the lady
speaks of, and upon whom I com
ment. The man out of every two
doeen who dislikes the upsetting va
riations of summer.
This Is a word of encouragement
rather than criticism to those who
simply cannot conform, but cheer
up. The grass is getting its rank
growth Just now; it won’t have to be
cut quite so often in August and
■still more seldom in September.
w Johnny’s bicycle won’t be left out
every night as the days shorten and
eool, so you won’t have to get up
at two a. m.. when your wife prods
you awake, to go out In the dew and
darkness and skin your shins on
sharp pedals.
Mother Finds Life Hard, Too
N.r will the screens have to be
patched much longer or the hose re
paired. Neither will you have to
shave twice a day nor have your
hair cut so often after the fall equi
nox. And I beg you to remember
that if you are having it so hard,
Sour spouse is not having a Roman
ollday either. Twelve dresses a
week and fifteen shirts to iron is no
fun. And the one thing hard to
smile about on hot days is the cook
ing
If you are the one out of the two
dosen who goes home to stay home,
In the same old chair at the same
old stand while the family is stand
ing ’round on one composite foot
waiting for you to say “yes” to a re
quest for the Zco or a bit of a hike
over the creek, or a tiny ride, or
even a meal under the morning
glories — perhaps if you think twice
you might grin and bear it.
You will be perfectly surprised
some day. say ten years from now.
when Jack and May will repeat
everything that happened. Things
that will have passed completely
out of your mind but are living on in
theirs as milestones back in the
grand lost days of childhood.
And will you be proud of yourself
then? I can answer that you will.
And perhaps you will think ruefully.
“Why didn’t I do it oftener? I
didn't dream small thin® were so
Important to children."
HEAVY LINES WEAR BEST
If you have decided to wear white
•nd pastel linens this summer, bet
ter pick the heavier varieties They
are a trifle more expensive, of
course, but they stand up under
constant trips to the laundry, stay
in press a good deal longer, and.
likely as not. will be good another
season.

Shoulders Get
Special Care
In Summer
By ALICIA HART
NEA Service Staff Writer
Flattaring though It Is, the wisp
of chiffon, lace or net that forms
the bodice of your summer evening
gown does nothing at all to hide
shoulder and back Imperfections.
You simply must do all you can to
clear up blemishes and tc make the
skin smooth and lovely.
Get a long-handled bath brush
and use It on the back and should
ers each time you bathe. It will
stimulate circulation, remove im
purities from the pores and give
that desirable satiny effect. If your
shoulders tend to get rough, mas«
sage them with tissue cream several
times a week.
When you go out In formal
clothes, remember that your back
and shoulders should be as carefully
made up as your face and neck. tJse
a foundation lotion or cream and
then powder carefully. If you have
trouble making dry powder stay on.
get a liquid variety.
Small blemishes that show
through makeup can be covered up
with one of the >new preparations,
made especially for this purpose.
They have grease paint foundations,
are perfectly harmless and certainly
will hide an imperfection tempo
rarily.
Remember, too. that your should
ers are a great deal more Important
than a good many women seem to
think. They should be carried
straight and tall — never cringed
forward or thrown backward In an
exaggerated manner that puts a
hollow In your back. If you have
hollows around your collar bone, do
this exercise:
Stand erect with feet together
and arms at your sides. Swing arms
up to shoulder level, over your head,
backward and then down to the or
iginal position. Keep shoulders
erect while you do it. With each
fling force your arms backward un
til neck and shoulder muscles
stretch and pull across the hollows.
Repeat twenty times a day.

Relief to Mrs. Maneely
“Up to (Its years ago, I knew no

used to them. My physician told me
to get some Kellogg’s All-Bran,

All-Bran provides gentle “bulk"
to help overcome common constipa
tion. It is also a good source of
vitamin B and iron.
The “bulk" of All-Bran Is often
more effective than the “bulk” in
fruits and vegetables, as it does not
break down within the body. Two
tableapoonfuls daily are usually
sufficient. If not corrected this way,
see your doctor.

Waves Set At
Home Best In
Summertime
By ALICIA HART
NEA Service Staff Writer
Coiffures that require no weekly
beauty shop waves are most suit
able in summer. The girl who can
rinse her hair In fresh water after
each salt water swim, dry It In a few
minutes and arrange It herself, Is
going to have healthier hair than
one who has to neglect the rinses for
fear of ruining a wave.
If your features are regular and
small enough to stand It, get your
locks cut very short, have a ringlet
end permanent and wear small curls
all over your head. While drying
your hair In the sunshine., set the
short ends In loose ringlets, or. If you
are quite young, run your fingers
through the strands during the ray
ing process and forget about curls.
An even simpler arrangement —
his, too, is best for regular features
and a not-too-long face — makes
use of straight, bobbed hair. Have
your barber leave the top and the
part that grows back from the fore
head quite long, cutting the rest
(over the ears and across the back
of the neck) very short. Comb the
front section straight backward.
Long hair can be worn unwaved,
too. You can sleek It back, rolling
the long ends Into a rather flat bun
high on the back of the head, or,
If you like, part It In the center from
forehead to nape of the neck, ar
ranging two chignons, one over each
ear.
Of course. In spite of the fact that
you have planned a plain coiffure
that you can arrange yourself, you
ought to try to keep your hair from
getting wet when you swim. Bath
ing caps alone certainly won’t keep
out water, but a good cap. plus a
band of chamois, often will. Pile
your hair Into a topknot, then wrap
the strip of chamois around your
head, pinning it ..ecurely at the
back. Put a tight cap on over it.

MEATS OFFER ECONOMY
BY MARY E. DAGUE
SEA Service Staff Writer
Lamb Is your best budget bet In
mid-summer. True, it has passed the
delicate stage of “spring" lamb,
but it is full-flavored and toothsome.
Spring chicken, too, is particular
ly good from a price point of view
from now until September.
Young ducklings, green goose and
guinea fowl are more expensive deli
cacies suitable for festive occasions.
Dried and corned beef, pickled
tongues of lamb and veal, pickled
pigs knuckles and many varieties
of smoked sausages are good, too.
when the thermometer mounts, be
ing easily prepared.
Don’t forget the humble cottage
cheese, too. this month. During ho*
weather milk will clabber within 12
hours if not kept on ice and the quick
souring prevents the development of
a bitter taste in cheese.
Buttermilk Is Better, Too
Buttermilk, too. Is of a finer flavor
in midsummer and makes a health
ful beverage. Buy hcme-grown
vegetables for cheapness—there are
sure to be plenty and set your table
to the king's taste, yet without
spending a king’s ransom.
A cottage cheese salad makes a
delightful meat substitute for a hot
weather dinner. Serve It with hard
rolls and a vegetable plate dinner.
Oreen peppers stuffed with sweet
I corn, new beets in orange butter
and creamed radishes Is an inviting
combination of vegetables. For des
sert have deep dish fruit pie or
peach shortcake.

Baby Writes ;
That She Has
Many Woes
By VIEGIMA LEX
Babble writes me a loot letter and
tella me ber troubles. She wants
aome sympathetic advtoa. she says.
She is lonely, sensitive, and cannot
make or hold friends easily. Her
parents do not Ilka her to bsve boy
friends, and finally, she likes a cer
tain boy and wants him to like her.
She Is nearly It, but "young for
ber age."
This list of woes would fit a great
many girls your age, Babble, dear.
Your greatest help would be to for
get all about that little self of yours
for a time. Concentration on one ■
erlf and one's woes la the best meth
od I know to make them seem twice
or three times aa big as they really
are.
I suppose you did not keep a copy
of your letter to me. I wish you hsd
but suppose you try to rewrite it
from memory. Then write another
one listing all the things you have
t'* be thankful far, and compare
them. You have good health, 1
imagine, are not bad looking — at
least, not deformed In any way;
have normal sight and hearing; are
pretty active; have a home and
enough to eat. dress fairly well.
I suppose you think these things
are no blessings. They are just the
everyday things of life which every
one expects to have, you may think.
Wall, get some books from your
library about really poor people, and
read Just how well off you are.
Perhaps you could do some work
In your town for poor people. If you
actually aee people who havent as
much as you. maybe you can appre
ciate what you have.
Life Changing
If you are graduating from high
school you will either go on to col
lege or get a job, I expect. Oet the
moat you can out of It. Every time
you are tempted to feel soiTy for
yourself or sensitive about things
you have done or said, turn your

to think about myself."
Forget your troubles. That Is tbs
worst of happiness. Lire ao as to
nt the most out of every minute of
living. And If you follow these raise
you will have friends and wont be
lonely. Many older people than you.
