BEIGE and STONE are starred for spring, but they are difficult to wear. Test powders until you find one that looks like the bloom an a pale side of a peach. Your roupe must be the clear red of a blue-black or green-blue ripe apple, your lipstick matching. mascara will took better than the sophistication of bluck, a grey, blue, or green eye shadow fresher than muré exotic colours.

Disregard for Others Property

A boarder of only a few months went to his dormitory, opened the window tu a gule, and allowed it lo blow off its hinges. The same thoughtless fellow sils with his feet on the staves of the chairs, wipes his sticky fingers under the seat of the chair or table, scrapes his feet on the linoleum or carpict, and being one of those children who must touch and handle things damages them in the process.

By daily reminders in school we do our best to instil the fact that clothes, toys, and school property must be used with care, but these children rarely realise the value of money. Every need seems to be satisfied by some fairy god-mother.

Fortunately every pupil now has pocket-money and he soon begins to realise its value, When he forfeits some of his weekly allowance for thoughtless domage he begins to think, a little more of the consequences of his actions, and in time we can trust him to be less destructive.

It would be easier, however, It parents themselves taught the value of property and clothes before these children were sent to school.
