£ Bad Habits of Children—Break Them.
By HELEN GREGG GREEN.
At a summer resort recently I
met a pretty and charming young
woman, who attracted my attention
because of her hands. One was
very slender with tapering fingers
and small knuckles. The other wa •
larger, with large knuckles. I often
wondergd what caused such mis
mates.
One day we were chatting on the
beach, when a child strolled by. bit
ing and sucking her small hand.
"Come here dear." called my new
ly found friend. The child shuffled
toward us, and my friend said.
"Please don't abuse those pretty
little hands like that. (Jo and play
with your sand shovel and bucket
instead.”
After the child had 1 • fi us. Miss
Billie, as her friends called her,
told nic about her hands. "When
1 was a child l had the dreadful
habit of sucking and biting my
hands. I kept it up for years. Some
times they would become red and
chapped. My right one was usually
the vic-tim. I lived with a busy
aunt, who did not seem to notice
the habit. You see the result," and
; she laiit her hands on her lap.
'They do not look as though they
were even acquainted."
J know a woman, who is now a
i grandmother, who has hitten her
rails since she was a small girl.
Her hands are hideous. Besides,
she looks rather foolish now, with
her white hair, gnawing at her nails
when she becomes excited or very
. much interested in something.
I live next door to a young girl
who would he really beautiful if |
| it were not for the fact that, when
she was a child, she had acquired
: the habit of wrinkling her forehead
i Now. as a girl of nineteen she has
deep wrinkles which greatly mar the
, otherwise beautiful face.
Little habits which, in children,
do not seem particularly distressing
i or odious, become a handicap to a
grownup. They are certainly not
conducive to poise or charm.
So, let s try and break tip any
j little habits we see children develop- j
1 ing, while they are still "In ent
! hryo." for, you know, “Habit is a
! cable; you weave a thread of It each
day, until at. last. it. grows so strong
you cannot break it."
SHE MAY BE BRITAIN'S NEXT QUEEN.
This is the latest photograph of Lady Phyllis King daughter
of Earl Lovelace, otto of the few cllgibles left In England who Is
ernfidered according to custom, to be a fitting mate for the Prince
of Wales. And. unlike many 01 her predecessors for the honor,
Lady Phyllis scents to he taken seriously by the Prince, who is
showing her marked attention.
AMERICAN WOMEN ARE GROWING
WARf NOW OF PENNILESS BARONS
(Contlnneu itom rake One >
central Europe In largo numbers,
and the residents of central Europe)
are not traveling abroad. The ro
mances which URed to begin on ocean
trips are fewer and fewer. Ameri- !
can and English women with com-'
fortable fortunes/ are nnt wandering I
about as they did in old times. |
Travel is not so Inviting as it used
to be, and families from the lands
of good exchange apparently havei
little desire to expose etheir (laugh-j
tern to the sort of tragedies which 1
have grown out of mauy interna-'
tional marriages recently. Titles'
■which often carry with them bank-)
rupt estates are apparently at a
great discount. The uncertainty ofi
titles to baronial possessions makes)
ambitious mothers hesitate. They
have seen too many penniless princ
es and counts and barons rattling
about Paris and other European cap
itals, trying to market their family
tree.
But the professional matchmakers.
have not given up hope aud are j
still active. Vienna lias a number
of such matrimonial agents who are)
hard at work, and with the revival -
pf Vienna which has come about j -
as the result of foreign assistance, j
their opportunities are improving.,,
Vienna’s old gaiety is coming back, j
Its fashions attract foreign women, i
and music-lovers flock to Its opera, i
Tourists who visit Italy also go to
Austria in large numbers.
In Berlin commercial matchmakers i
are haviug a harder time. The de- 1
Cline in travel and unset political <
Conditions work against them to a '
greater degree than In any of the c
other European capitals, and the 1
Igilare of war hatreds to pass away i
makes it difficult to do anything
with principles who were enemies
in the great struggle.
One professional marriage agent,
a titled woman who was once a
great success in her profession, is
constantly seen about the promi
nent hotels in Berlin and she has
not lost her ability to meet nearly
all promising visitors. But she has
collected a commission only once in
the last twelve months.
The agencies which advertise ex
tensively and arrange marriages on
a strictly business basis, without so
cial trimmings, are faring better
Ilian the agents who specialise In
irlstocrats. Throughout central Eu
rope the daily papers are filled with
he advertisements of marriage agon
ies which describe their clients in
sreat detail, give their financial
<tatus and requirements, leaving on
ly the names unmentioned.
