I made fun of the boys who were a little too fat or a little too thin. If a fe low's nose was too big or his teeth weren't straight, he was automatically off my list. A boy's clothes were impor- tant, too. If he didn't look lik a fashion model I wouldn't con- sider being seen with him, My mother warned me that I wa making a big mistake, but wouldn't listen. I made fun of|arranging to take the children her, too. Guess what happened? I married the best looking, best- dressed fellow in town. All the girls were green with envy.

CHILD GUIDANCE Progress Comparison Helps Train Children In Neatness By GARRY C. MYERS, PhD Many parents are distressed over a child whose written work is untidy or illegible. They know he will be handicapped all his school life unless he improves in.neatness and legibility. Teachers, too, are worried and annoyed over unattractive hard-to-read written work. Just to rebuke or ridicule the child for ugly written work can hardly prompt him to strive to make it more legible 'and at- tractive. I once heard from a teacher of her good way of motivating her fourth grade pupils to strive for more neateness in their written work. In September she asked each child to let her keep a written paper of his choice she had returned to him. At the beginning of each succeeding month of the school year she invited him to let her have an- other such sample of his writ- ten work. She guided each child at plac- ing each successive written sample between the leaves of an old magazine, dating each sample. Then at various inter- vals she had each child lay out on a table his samples in order of their dates, when all could see how much he had improved in neatness and legibility. SOME GREAT STRIDES On the vote of the children, the successive samples of a certain number of the children which revealed most improve- ment in neatness and legibility were displayed on the school- room walls. The children and teacher discovered that some of the children whose first sam- plés were. the worst showed most improvement and won a handwriting in appearance and legibility. No doubt most chil- dren would gladly co-operate at home or school at this enter- prise. They might, indeed, like to carry it on over several years. Another good way to motivate Whether "he loves me or loves me not" My boy friend is 20 and I think it is crumy that we have to sneak around behins moth- er's back.

If he doesn't have the is of little consequence to five-year-old THE DAISY "Sweet -bunch of daisies, brought from the dell, Kiss me once, darling, daisies won't tell." This tender oft - quoted coup- let was written in 1894 by Anita Owens but the link between love and the daisy seems to have endured for centuries, The daisy is the flower of April, and it has become the traditional adornment of Cana- dian April brides. Those born in April are grac- ed with thie daisy as their special flower just as they have the diamond for their birthstone. This is why the florist will sug- gest daisies in arrangements to mark such occasions as birth- days and graduations, welcome home or "'get well" greetings. a child to strive to do neater written work is to guide him individually at writing words and figures by hand. Many a patient persuasive parent should be able to do this well. COPY FROM MODEL For example, a parent might have this child write under a neatly written line of script slowly and carefully several lines of his own. It would be desirable if the model-line is written on a slip of cardboard or heavy paper which can be slid down the paper so that the child copies from this model and not his own earlier copy. As your child does written work at home, you can show him how to leave margins and to indent for paragraphs. You might mark off the page for him in dim lines. When he does number work you could show him how to keep the columns up and down and the rows across in neat alignment. After your child has done written work at home for school, you should check it for neatness. If time permits, you should require him to redo careless slovenly work. You might display on the kitchen wall the neatest and most legible papers your child brings home from school, leav- ing them there in order of date over a long period. ANSWERING QUESTIONS Q.

No; nor use anything as punishment which I wished him from all periods and designs, Its bridal acceptance has ob- viously overcome Shakespeare's theme, established when Ophe- lia gives the queen a daisy to signify "that her light and fickle love. ought not to expect con- stancy in her husband".

The fake fur rug may be just the thing to fit in with this nucleus, and that zebra striped ottoman carries out the prim- itive beat. How about that low chest with its wood worked in a dazzling chevron pattern? Or that coffee table of see-through glass or plastic with bamboo- turned legs of polished alumi- num?

The latter is ofter tinted to match the dresses of bridesmaids. The daisy comes in many var- ieties, ranging from the hardy common white and the yellow "ox - eye" species found in most fields to the frost - sen- sitive double - billed 'Long- fellow" and the "bride", which prefer the florists' care. These bloom from late spring to first frost.

KEEP IN TRIM By IDA JEAN KAIN Let exercise be your spring tonic. Here is a promise: With a few weeks of planned exercise you will begin to experience a feeling of vigor and buoyancy. Exercise is a positive health measure, and health is the vital principle of joie de vivre. If there is no reason, bearring vel- leity, why you shouldn't exer- cise, get the habit. Your individual program will depend on your way of life. If you take public transportation to work, you can stop short of your destination and walk the rest of the way: Perhaps a surer plan is to walk briskly for 15 minutes before getting on the 'bus. If you drive the children to school, why not walk with them? Mothers in one section did this with excellent results for themselves and the young- sters. First you have to will to walk, but before long you won't want to forego this pleasant ex- ercise. Homemakers need a program of exercise to keep the big muscles of the body in tone. All the labor-saving devices rob us of the natural way to control Let Regular Exercise Be Best Spring Tonic is an inherited factor, influences where fat is likely to be de- posited. One homemaker question: "On a diet, when the pounds begin to come off, do they come off at the same rate all over, or do they tend to come off where there is more fat?" Unhappily, fat seems to come off last in those spots where it has lived the longest. Why? These are probably the muscle- lazy-areas, Stored fat is used generally, not just from spots. However, improved circulation is all to the good--so stimulate circulation in the fat - prone places. Direct the exercise ac- tion there. Exercise steps up calorie burning. The slimming results will not come from burn- ing the calories deposited in spots, but from increasing the muscle tone in asks this ming. You'll look and feel slim- mer, and measure slimmer. To reduce, curb calories. To| WOMAN RUNS BANK -- Rebecca E.
