What about using a deep pink or a lovely coral or strawberry color on the walls, and spiking this with some delicate greens?

WILSON and Children dance naturally, they have so much fun learning together and teaching each other that it is a shame to send them to lifeless and completely uninterested teachers at $6 an hour. Put them on a dress allowance, and buy them much less expensive clothes. And dont forget that school of all schools, the family dinner table; and that power of all social power, good manners. Good manners are only gentleness and consideration; your children will learn them in no better place than at the home table. Perhaps you havent been bringing Dad into the conversation enough. How much do the children know of his boyhood, the mistakes he made, the lessons he learned, the things he had to do for his mother, the big fish he caught on that camping week that cost him $2.13? How much do they know of you, and the reason you have for want- just ing them to have more than you had as a girl? How interesting can you and Dad make local school and sport politics during the dinner table conversation. In other words, what priceless privileges of companionship and sharing, mental stimulus and happy family amusement are you losing, while you run madly after dancing teachers and gym teachers and psychiatrists and fashions? You give them everything they need for happy, successful lives when you give them the priceless possession of sound character. Gentle manners, intelligent interest in what is going on, trained help in handling household work and home finances, hospitality that they can afford can handle themselves.

May a Man be Convicted Merely On His Own Confession If There is No Other Evidence Against Him? A dancer went to the district attorney and complained that she had been criminally assaulted by a certain young man. The youth was taken into custody, and, after lengthy questioning, he confessed the crime. However, by the time of the trial, the girl withdrew her accusation and the young man repudiated his statement.

What is holding the cost of living up, when the price of basic raw materials has fallen NEW so far since last fall? Commodity prices, at wholesale, have retreated since then about half-waback to their O.P.A. levels, on the average, but the cost of living has dropped back only about of the way. However, the average weekly wage in factories of the way is about back. The recession so far adds up to this: Producers are getting considerably less for many raw materials but not all. It costs almost as much to live as it did last year and the workers' average pay has been only slightly touched. Roughly, the same factors that retarded the cost of livings pace upward in the months when wholesale commodities were soaring are now acting as a drag as it slips slightly lower. Between June, 1948, and January, 1948, wholesale commodities went up at a dizzy pace. The cost of living climbed steadily, but more slowly. Between January and September of last year, commodities as a whole were on the downgrade, but the cost of living still edged upward. Since then the cost of living has receded, but much more slowly than prices have fallen. Rent controls and price absorption by processors . and retailers acted as a drag on the cost of living on the upgrade. Braking the decline of the cost of living now are: rents, as high and apparently going higher; the normal time lag between retail and wholesale price changes; continued high labor costs; continued high taxes; and, of course, substantial profits. On June 15, 1948, the index, in which 1928 prices are 100, stood at 120.65. By January 15, 1948, it had reached 207.61. It was back to 186.41 by September 15, 1943. and jelly cupboards MOST JAM a sad sight to behold about this of year because long months of use have depleted them 'pretty time Protecting Silver from Tarnish Question: Is there any way to prevent silverware from tarnishing?

My three younger children, two boys and a girl, are in nursery schools that include luncheon and naps. The older girls are in a less expensive private school; they have as extras music, a play club and ballroom dancing.

My plan is to borrow the necessary five or six thousand a year from our savings, restoring it as the children grow older. We were in youth, both underprivileged David and I; he, consequently has been a passionate student all his life, and I take out my old hungqr for advantages in hopes for my children.
