| | Mrs. Sawyer, were talking things over ; Lenora ET Bailey "I took Billy up to Mrs. Martin's studio this morning to ask her to give Rim plano lessons, and what do you suppose she suggested?" Mrs, Knowles and her sister-in-law, as was their daily custom, "Did she think Billy too young?" "No-o,' returned Billy's mother, "I don't think she did. In fact, she said a child's musical education should he started when he is very young indeed --even while he is in his infancy." "How is that possible?" "Well, she said that the early pounding or hitting that the child does with his spoon, on the chair, table or dish is the beginning of a sense of rhythm which means so much in music. She thinks one should help the child by teaching him 'pat-a-cake' and all such' movement jingles." "What did she suggest especially for Billy?" "You'll be surprised. She told me to send him to kindergarten for at least half a year before I started him In the study of piano technique." { "What did she want you to do that for?" "She says that he will learn a lot of rhythm there and will also learn mo- tion songs" The fact that he will learn' to move his body te music will develop his sense of rhythm unusually well, she told me." "ls that necessary before he begins to play the plano? 1 thought all that was picked up, naturally, as one leara- ed to play." "I did, too, but you should just hear Mrs. Martin talk about that very thing. She won't let a pupil begin to learn to play until he can march and move in other ways to music 'inter- preting the music by physical move- ment,' I think she calls it." { "But will he learn to do all that by | going to Kindergarten?" "Oh, yes. They teach a lot of that sort of thing along with much more that is really fine, I want Billy to at- tend anyway, but 1 hal thought I'd start him in music first, before he be- came so much interested in other things that he wouldn't want to prac. tice. But Mrs. Martin assured me that the training she wants him to get there will tend to. make him more in- terested in his music and more will ing to practice. She is going to teach him to make up | songs and put them to mucic hii <l-~teach him to ereate music in his ow little way." "That sounds int ing, but isn't it funny how differently they teach things now from what they did just a few years ago, even when we were in college?" " 'Live and Learn!" "Yes, old as it is, that seems to be as sound advice as ever."--Issued by the National Kindergarten Associa- tlen, 8 West 40th Street, New York City.

'Resolves For 1931 High in the Social Whirl ms resolution made in the pright hopeful hours of the young year--what a wonderful world this would be! Yet there are always a few resolu- tions we do keep. And women who realize the importance of retaining their youth, and gaining more beauty with each year should count among their resolutions the vow to follow the laws of beauty caily throughout the entire year. Beauty lies morc in clear, cared-for skins, well-brushed hair, clean sparkling teeth, and all evi- dences of health, cleanliness and in- telligence than in mere doll-like prettiness. Beauty can be acquired. Not per- haps the kind of beauty that will add your name. to the list of immortal but certainly the kind of beauty that will improve your own looks many times. No woman today cares to be placed in the category of beautiful but dumb; neither men nor women tolerate in their society a dumb or stupid person. The old days when mere doll-like prettiness was an advantage have passed. We must have some cleverness, some mental well- advantages to go <aloug with our appearance. . However, she who hath both beauty and brains has a definite ad- vantage over the girl who cultivates either asset at the expense of the other. This is why we find the high- school graduate, the college woman, the progressive wife and mother giv- ing a certain amount of time each day, to the duty eof improving their looks. These are the girls and women who know the value of keeping their beanty resolutions. It must be an everyday practice tp build up niore beauty. If you set a few rules for vourse!f te begin w.th, and make them an automatic part of every day's duties, you will soon see eqough results to them, and adhere Age Doesn't Count I want you to make some beauty resolutions this bright New Year. I don't care how old you are or how young you are; if you begin right now to form a single beauty habit, and adhere to it throughout all this year, I promise you, this time next year you will admit that you have been repaid for your attention. Let me see. In France they begin with their girl babies, keeping their little bodies supple and sound. When they grow into little girlhood they are taught small duties, such as sit- ting erect in thefr chairs, learning to place their feet correctly in walking, and so on. In Canada, all too fre- quently, girls are mot taught these] things till they begin to teach them] selves. Often Canadian women feel self-conscious about paying attention to their looks, as though it were a shameful thing to be careful of the bodies that were given to them by the same Divine Law that makes flowers beautiful. We owe much more to our personal beauty than we do to the beauty of our flower gar- dens, but as a matter of progress we should not neglect either of them. I want to give you a little New Year's present, I want to give you a list of beauty resolutions that I have made out for you--all simple things that will not take much time. Lasting Rewards The following resolutions are the first and simplest of Beauty Rules. I know many women who follow them --and they are always the women who command attention for their charming looks. One of these women is about seventy, and I assure you she looks younger than many. a woman young enough to be her dau- ghter. "I don't do much, my dear," she says simply when I tell her how wonderful she is; "I just keep clean inside and outside, think as niece thoughts as I can about my fellow men, do a good deed here and there, and add a little powder and the slightest tinge of rouge to my cheek: for good measure." Then she smiles at you with her weaderful smile, and you see the lovely dimple in the faint pink of her cheeks, and decide you will certainly "keep your beauty resolutions all the rest of your life." Resolved: To eat my meals regu- larly, and to select the most whole some and nutritious foods. To eat slowly, and as sparingly as my health and strength permit. . Resolved: To get out-of-doors for a walk every day, even if for only ten minutes. To walk briskly, breathe deeply and stand correctly while I am taking this exercise. Repolved: To take a quick but thorough bath every day I can, Resolved: To go to my dentist once a year to have my teeth exam- ined. Resolved: To get enough hours' sleep every night, in a well-ventil- room. Resolved: To watch my temper, nerves. fully each day.
