KNITTED MITTS IN TEN SIZES Are you a mitten-knitter? These interesting styles can all be knitted from one basic instruction, which is avail- able in ten sizes: to fit girls and boys as well as women and men. Suggestions are provided for varying the basic design to make the col- orful mitts shown above; however, you may prefer to develop your own ideas.

MARY HAWORTH'S MAIL Wife's Dislike Poses A Family Problem Dear Mary Haworth: My hus- band says I am jealous of his youngest sister, Jean, two years my junior, and that I don't un- derstand her. But I disagree. I do resent her and in her pres- ence I feel hostile (though I don't show it), but not from jealousy. * I feel she has taken him for a long expensive ride and will continue to do. Yet he finds no fault with anything she does. She lies when it suits her about the smallest matters and must be the center of attention. Bob has four sisters. Their father died 10 years ago. The mother remarried four years later. Jean, then still at home, clashed with the stepfather to such an extent that she was sent to California, to an older sis- ter's, where she stayed for a year. Then she came home, finished high school and returned to Cal- ifornia, with a job and college in mind. She went heavily into debt for clothes, borrowed money from her sister's friends, eventually was bailed out by Bob and came back here. WASTES BOB'S MONEY Bob and I were planning mar- riage at the time. He had a small apartment that was to be ours. But he took Jean in im- mediately, over my objections, and she stayed on during our first half-year of marriage. She of Sister-in-Law tasteful or repellent to us. Char- ity requires us to wish them well and to be ready to do them a good turn should they need help that we can give. But we don't have to wear the false face of hypocrisy in relation to them, by pretending to an affection or approval that we don't feel. It is unfortunate that your husband's intensely parti- san feeling for his unstable youngest sister disposes him to) be blindly unsympathetic to! _ disenchanted estimate of er. MAN PREJUDICED It would be more realistic, sensible and fair of him--and no disservice to her--to admit that Jean is a pretty undeserv- ing candidate for the preferen- tial treatment she consistently extorts from the family. But she have normal family feelings, by keeping her out of big trouble if possible, they are doing them-! selves a favor, as well as her. As Bob isn't mature enough as yet, in relation to Jean and you, to be loyal to her in this judi- cious spirit, I think your best Stop trying to sell him your ap- praisal of Jean. Don't try to shield him from her exploitative tactics. Stand aside; let him bear the brunt and reach his own conclusions.

Ap- CHILD GUIDANCE Do Christmas Gifts Most people who call them- selves Christians, think of Jesus as the most unselfish person who ever walked on this earth. Yet the way in which they and their children celebrate Jesus' birthday often reveals a vast amount of selfishness. At no other time of the year are most children permitted to be so self- centered as just before and dur- ing Christmas. | From infancy, the child has many gifts lavished on him at| Christmas. Naturally, he keeps) naming and talking about what! presents he will get. He is al- ready talking about them. So his thoughts and dreams and wishes are centered on himself. On the minds and hearts of parents are what gifts to buy their children for Christmas. Al- most entirely they are the giv- ers, their children the receiv- ers, How are children going to escape growing more and more} self-centered if, year after year from early infancy, they grow| accustomed to expect many) Christmas gifts?

The hairdo is a wig and a Toronto firm says that more and more Canadian women are buying wigs be- ady proximately 60 per cent of the company's business is the re- sult of loss of hair due to) sickness or accident. | The wigs are made to meas-| ure and are as easy to put on as a bathing cap. Nylon wigs, which weigh about five ounces, are sold for as low as $25. But hair consultant Jack Sharpe rec- ommends them for partial use only. If a wig is a necessity he advised a human hair wig which} weighs about 2% ounces and costs approximately $200. Each human hair is individ-| ually put onto a silk backing! 130 to 40 hours work.

Most parents lavishly bestow Christmas gifts on their children and, like them, you and I get a vast deal of persona! satisfaction in doing so. We de- light in seeing our children's joy over their gifts and we feel un- selfish in bestowing them, It) wouldn't be easy for us to deny | ourselves and our children all & the pleasure of gift-giving. | But a few parents have de- cided, beginning with the first) infant, to keep their sights lower) @ on the number of Christmas gifts they bestow on their chil| dren and the amount of money! # spent on them.

HOUSEHOLD HINT For a variation on the usual) cranberry sauce to serve with any kind of poultry, stir into a quart of the sauce a quart of drained, crushed pineapple and a teaspoon of peppermint extract. | It is so easy for young and middle-aged men to take such dividends and interest: and spend them as they come along--with the result that they become old men ready to retire before they realize that they have wasted the true power of compounded interest. Permanent personal life 'insurance is unique! It pays compound interest upon the invest- ment portion of the premium--but it does so by saving the simple interest and compounding it, instead of paying it out each year or making it so easily available that the temptation to take it out is almost irresistible.
