Bare-Top Frocks Taboo At Office On particularly hot days, some girls feel that the humidity offers sufficient excuse for wearing sum- mer playclothes to the office. The last thing an executive wants fo see a woman employee Wijziug ou ih the ie Job is a backless, dress Off-the- shoulder blouses may look fine at a picnic, R they are absolutel: taboo for the oh y Dressy ie dresses, with several petticoats, clash violently with a business background. These dresses should be saved for after-office hours. Simple cotton dresses in a be- coming color are the smartest bet for the career girl. If she feels she must wear jewelry, a plain chalk-white necklace, with earrings to match, will lend a note of coolness and femininity to her office costume. Business-wise, one of the big- gest mistakes a girl can make to appear at the office with her hair set in pin-curls. This is the pet peeve both coworkers and executives, who think that a girl who ties a turban around her hair to preserve her hairdo is adver- tising, quite frankly, that she doesn't care for her job and puts her social activities first. [© CHILD GUIDANCE Phychologist Gives Helpful Advice On Training Youngster For School By G. CLEVELAND MYERS Under | the auspices of the Na- tional Congress of Parents and Teachers and the National Educa- tion Association, a wonderful book- let has been made available for parents of young children about to jenter school. Title: 'Happy Jour- ney: Pr hing Your Child for ool, " be had from the National Schao Public Relations Association, 1201 Sixteenth Street. N.W., Washington 6, D.C., cents. It is attractively i -- illustrated. It tells effectively of what your child, five or six, learns at school; the child's job at school, where he learns to tend to his own be- longings the school as a place to wi and practice, a place to der talk, to make friends, and to be himself. TRAINING THE CHILD Parents are advised to encour- Mo this little child at home to | away his own toys at pick-up time, to listen when others speak, "to follow directions, to take over , simple household tasks, to assume responsibility for feeding, washing, caring for a younger brother or sister, or a pet. In order for your youne child to tAke good care of his own s at school, the booklet points out that his clothing should be sim- le, washable, sturdy, not too fight, easy. for him to manage, ale, labeled for identitification pur- READING RULES Parents are encouraged to read to this child, enunciating and speaking clearly. They should lis- ten when he reads to them, help him promptly with words that trip him as he reads aloud, and en- courage him to read to a younger brother or sister. The booklet says your child is probably ready to read if you can say yes to most of the following questions? Is he well physically, mentally, emotionally? Is he free from such physical handicaps as poor vision, deafness, defective speech, or poor motor control? ] Can he sit still and give atten- tion for a reasonable length of time? Can he see differences in famil- iar ghjeets -- the larger plate, the smaller bowl, the tallest toy? Can he relate simple events or experiences in rather logical or- Is he able to understand cay out simple ctions? Does he feel secure and happy in his family? ATTITUDE TOWARD ADULTS Has he confidence in adults, so as to accept their reasonable di- rections and instructions? Can he look after himself and take some responsibility?

They are fast climbing into the full course repast category. For the food - toting equipment available has made it wonderfully easy to take almost everything along to the picnic site. Browsing around and looking over the latest picnic equipment, we have noted mew wide-mouthed vacuum- jars for such sturdy foods as sop, baked beans and chile con carne. These come in "indi- vidual" sizes so designed that the food can be eaten right out of them with spoon or fork. WELL INSULATED There are convenient jugs with Slass fibre insulation to transport ot or ice cold rinks. There are insulated bags in which family- sized meals can be carried. There are even food-carrying sets that 'have 'a separate compartment for infants' needs -- complete with with bottle holders. " The traditional streamlined car-- riers made for the usual fare are not only a lot easier on the eye than the old-time paper bag; they are also a lot more efficient. They are designed with compartments to keep sandwiches fresh. EASY TO CARRY These containers are easy to carry -- some can be attached to the back of the car seat. Their sturdy, protective exteriors keep food from getting crushed. For those who enjoy outdoor ookery, there is fine equipment too, For real fans, there's a port- able refrigerator which will keep five pounds of food cold and fresh. There are sundry types of grills and built-in charcoal holders, some with heat and smoke control.

Best of all, the designs take the basic feature of the American pic- nic into consideration: It has to be fun, it has to be relaxed, it has to be unmarred by the dark thought of an arduous clean - afterwards. And this is why m ern picnic equipment is so easy to look after. Hampers and bags are lined with plastic -- easily kept sanitary with soap and water. Exteriors may be br: sponged off, too.

FOR THE BIRTHDAY If tomorrow is your birthday, your horoscope indicates that the days from now, until the 23rd of this month will 'comprise a fairly propitious period for initiating new ventures. If you have the oppor- tunity, you should take advantage of them, since there will be rela- tively few such cycles for the bal- ance of the year. From early Sep- tember until the end of the year, it would be more advisable to stay with routine procedures and avoid speculative ventures of any sort. Late in November you may at- tract the attention of those in au- thority and may receive encour- agement and support from such sources, so take advantage of that situation, too. Generally speaking, however, most matters will move slowly during the rest of 1954. But be patient. You can't expect peak accomplishment at all times.
