Looking at adjustments in the
clothing field, Miss Bryant says
consumers need not expect many
major changes in 1943, but 1944
may offer many problems. In the
year ahead homiemakers will find
fewer cottons on the market, less
rayon and wool goods, and more
’blends" of wool and synthetic
fabrics. Articles such as galoshes
must be “duration goods," that is,
they must last for the duration.
'There are some new mixtures,
fibers and articles on the mar-
ket,” Miss Bryant says, "but they
are still in the experimental
stages, so don’t believe all the
claims made for new articles and
materials on the market.”
RIGHT OUT OF THE AIR I
By EARLE FERRIS ---------
Have you a little show-off in your
home? It used to be that we expect-
ed a certain amount of showing off
on the part of children too young
to know that it wasn’t attractive.
And then someone thought up a
new word for it—a very terrifying
word "exhibitionism”—and for a
while some of us were frightened
into curbing all attempts on the
part of children to preen them-
selves before their elders. We for-
got that it was natural for most
children to go through a period of
showing off. If allowed to go en-
tirely unchecked they may become
"smarties." But there’s a way of
turning this self-pride into in-
creased self-reliance while keeping
the child's feet on the ground about
his own importance.
Here’s how one mother went
about doing this. "Our young
daughter has been something of a
show-off — although an attractive
one — almost from birth,” she
writes. "She is vain about her
clothes and appearance, and is
very eager for our approval. Her
father and I realized very early
that without some tactful restraint,
she would become a nuisance, but
we made up our minds to apply
only enough restraint to prevent
this. For we believe the benefiis
which, with a little conscious direc-
tion, can be derived from this com-
mon tendency to show off far out-
weigh its possible disadvantages.
When Betty says, 'Look at me,’
while she makes an annoying rack-
et pounding a spoon on her tray,
I suggest as casually as I can, ‘Why
don’t you see if you can hold your
spoon very level (demonstrating)
and get all the pear juice without
spilling any?’ This technique works
like a charm, and in another mo-
ment Betty is saying ‘Look at me!’
with pardonable pride of achieve-
■cent instead of empty showing off.

that before the end of 1943 house-
wives may make their soup at

it home in a jar or bucket. Manu-
facture of canned soups has been
curtailed because of uneconomi-
cal use of tin cans.
Aj
'See how well Betty holds her
spoon,’ I say admiringly. ’She
doesn’t spill a bit.’
"As these opportunities unfold to
deal tactfully with Betty’s histrion-
ics, she is gradually extending her
knowledge and experience,” the
mother goes on to say. "Because
of her eager desire to show what
she can do 'all by my own self,’
we expect her to become increas-
ingly independent of us, and we
shall foster this attitude with lib-
eral approval of her efforts. For
instance, when she boasts, ‘Watch
me. I can carry the water without
spilling,’ I reply, 'All right. Let’s
water the plants with it.’ And we
do. Soon she will be watering the
plants alone as a regular daily
chore, thus, and in similar ways,
preparing to take her own small,
but helpful, part in the routine of
the household.
"Of course, the picture is not
complete without honest scrutiny of
the little show-off’s less amenable
moods. Attention is dear to the
hearts of all of us, and especially
so to children. But they must learn,
if they are to be happy, that some
ways of attracting attention are
not acceptable. So, when Betty says
commandingly, ‘Look at me,’ and
starts to make faces or babble non-
sense, we do not look. We try to
divert her attention. But if this
does not work and she is too per-
sistent, we let her make faces mi-
nus the adored audience. It would
be a relief, on such occasions, to
issue a peremptory ‘Stop that non-
sense!’ but such direct action plays
into the child’s hands. For even
disapproving attention is better
than none! Consistently withholding
attention, though a little hard on
parents, is the subtler tactic and
works better in the long run. Most
of the time it constitutes sufficient
discipline."
