WHAT IS

TRUTH?

ANY parents, particularly those who have a strong code of behaviour, are inclined to be overshocked when small tons and daughters Lay away from the truth, But really, is it to be wondered at if a child draws on his imagina- tion when his nursery days are coloured with such stories as Jack and the Beanstalk and the bedtime tales that Mummy and Daddy love to tell?

Further, when he shows concern for poor little Red Riding Hood, he is assured that it is only a falry story.

It is unreasonable, in these circumstances, to expect young children to understand exactly what is meant when told "not to tell stories."

So we must treat the children's laptes into make-belief with patience and understanding, and as they grow older they will develop a sense of values

and will realize that make-belleve must be kept for pinytime and should have no part in real matters.

Changing Names

My son lives in a world of "make- bellene." So firmly does he believe in the characters which he takes on that He gets into wild tempers when we call him by his own name,

MY advice is that you should leave

this alone, na your boy is not yet five. He will probably outgrow this habit once he goca to school, and, if at present he prefera to be called "King Richard" or "Dick Turpin," it will dö no harm to humour him.

He is doing you the honour of in- cluding you in the game, and deep down ho knowa that you are all pre- Lending, but it is good fun.

logs to ourselves there is no rersch why we should think little of children who air their imaginings openly. By checking their "make-believe" we run the grave risk of making amall folk secretive.

The Practical View

We are very isolated, but my nearest neighbour and friend is now expecting baby. I wonder if I should tell my girl of thirteen about this,

HERE you have a golden opportunity

of explaining matters quite simply

to your girl. I nuggest she should do something useful as regards the preparatima, such as knitting vests or u frock,

There is nothing like streasing the practical side of these matters; that leaves.no time for speculations. At the same time it is a really big mistake tu confuse Ignorance with innocence. By wrapping the whole subject op in cotton-wool one only creates a mystery! quite unseersartly.

Most Untruthful

Her teacher reports that my piri ol fourteen continually tells her untruths. She is the same at home..

FRIEND once told me that she was most untruthful until a school- teneter once told her a lovely legend of truth from Olive Schreiner's famous

vel. "A South African Farm."

That led to her taking a much wider view of the whole subject. Not tell- in untruths" widened out into a zearch for Truth, cost what it might.

T is a well-known fact that women together talk, to a large extent, about clothes. It is equally a fact, but 1 very much hushed-up fact, that men to- gether are also apt to touch on the subject of dress.

One can hardly imagine-a-man- saying: "I saw the cutest little remnant of heather tweed to-day and just couldn't resist buying it." But they do say something like "I've just bought a new sult, but I think the revers are too wide. The salesman said it's the latest thing

Women are also known to dis- cuss their underclothes. How and where one gets the fimiest bit of allk and lace for a song: cami- knickers versus chemise and panties, whether to. wear black under black frocks-n million and one things about lingerie.

Stylish Underwear

Now a man will not discuss his underclothes. And why? Because for many yeara men's underwear 'has al- ways been the same. At 14 or 40--the same shape, the same material year la, year out.

And now, although men's underwear has been for somo ilmo past at a stage -no, I am not going to say of undress1 -where there is no more need to speak of those articles with bated breath and blush of shame, or not at all, tradition dies hard,

As a matter of fact, there's real style in men's underwear to-day.

I am not suggesting that they are adorned with lace or embroidery nor that theirs is a question of the amart man wearing blue under a blue sui But he can get his underwear in many colours and ninterials, styles and fit- Linga.

Take, for instance. Wolsey under- wear. They make many styles and colours, in the Rnest, softest wool

And don't imagine that men's under- garments are shapeless in these days. Far from it.

Hard-Wearing

There's a pride in the fit of the gar- ments they turn out. They are specially kuitted, not cut, to shape. Everything of theirs is fully fashioned.

That means their garments · aro shaped in the making to at like a glove with no wrinkles of rucks, and will really keep their shape through years of hard wear.

- Now, with women's lingerie, wear is often a secondary consideration. With men, wear naturally comes more to the
