Reiko, or "Nancy," has no illusions that her good fortune, as she sees it, will last forever. Her profession is too competitive for girls to remain on top for more than a few years. Like many of the geishas whom she despises and pities, her plans for the future envisage using her savings to start a restaurant or some other small business to provide for her later years. "Then I will get married to have a husband to run it for me." Whatever happens, she has no regrets, not even at being fated to live her best years at a time of turbulent change for her country and her sex.

Do you read to her daily so that she becomes interested and wants to read? The way to help this child is to answer these questions and try to find out what is preventing the child from learning to read. You may find that she will need help outside of school from some teacher who is skilled in helping difficult readers.

She might do better in a room with other children with similar handicaps, or she might need the help of a psychologist to clear up any emotional block. You can see that it is no simple matter to say just exactly what to do, since it depends upon so many factors. Maryland Girl Wins Apple-Dessert Bake By The Auocialed Pre Washington, Oct. 30. A Maryland girl, Janet E.

Hobbs, was declared champion in apple dessert baking today in the annual Appalachian contest. Miss Hobbs, whose home is West Friendship, defeated champions from five other states. Second place winner was Janet Lee Mercer, Wahlhonding, Ohio. Third place went to Dolores Smith, Landisburg, Ta. Miss Hobbs received a $100 government bond and a bracelet.

Second prize was $75 government bond and a bracelet, and third prize was a $50 government bond. The contestants, limited to ages 16 to 21, had to prepare their desserts from apples and dough. By dWlesslo Japan. They spend more on their clothes usually they have more to spend than any comparable group of Japanese women and the results are far more chic than might be expected. Reiko owns 20 pairs of shoes and regularly buys five new dresses including an evening gown, "my work clothes" every month.

But she has never owned a hat because "hats don't look good on me." Reiko has no thought of marriage as long as he career lasts and continues to be profitable. She says, rather cynically, that she can get married anytime she wishes "not because I'm pretty but because 1 earn a good living." She is condescending toward Japanese women of a stratum higher than her own. "I'm one of the few women in my country who is able to live her own life and not be told what to do," she said. "Even the wife of a very rich man doesn't have the freedom I do. She must get everything from her husband and rich iiusbands are sometimes worse than poor ones." Reiko's position as a "Grade-A" Idea Combine nut meats and whipped cream with a fruit jelly, whip, and serve as a sauce for puddings and ice cream.

In the elaborately divided hierarchy of the large night clubs, there also are "Grade-B" and "Grade-C" girls who earn less and work longer hours because they don't attract the free spenders. Some girls "sit" only with foreign patrons, others only with Japanese they never mix. Reiko is a foreigner's girl because of her good English and easy manner. "But I'm not too forward," she explained frankly.

"I've found that American men like women to be just a little bit meek. They won't admit it, but they do." At work, Rciko calls herself "Nancy." The adoption of foreign names is common among the girls at the Kimbasha. "It makes it easier to get acquainted if you have a name foreigners recognize," Reiko said. "Reiko is too difficult and they never remember It. None of my customers ever asks my family Elegant is the woman who knows how to dress for each occasion." Monsieur Dior looked at some of the plump ladies of the Cuban press and backtracked a little on his New York statement that dresses should be 15 inches (38 centimeters) off the floor.

"Naturally, the characteristics of the woman is taken into account in such things," he said. "You might say the standard should be that distance off the floor, but obviously the length varies ith the woman. "But evening and cocktail dresses should be the same length." Then the great Dior got off into a discussion of style. "It is an individual thing," he said, as if talking to himself. "It changes with every form, and even with each temperament of woman.

"The purpose is to make women look younger and freer. That's why I call it the active line (linea vivaz)." It may be that the plump ladies of the press knew exactly what Dior meant, for they smiled approvingly. As for the men there, they looked as blank as only men can look when folks mix philosophy, biology, and style. "It gives," said Dior, giving his arms and upper body a sort of lilt, "that certain undulating grace to a woman." Again the women nodded most approvingly. The men looked blanker still.

"It is something," he added, "captured from the Eiffel Tower, and the architecture of Paris, but suitable, mind you, to women everywhere. Of course, my gowns are created for women of all This doesn't mean that each dress serves all types. "Each woman should choose a gown that fits her type, her silhouette, and even her mood or temperament." left are Diane at left are the right are jnT I ...1 lUx tk erf' 21 fd Hli i tr Some children have difficulty in learning to read. Boys are more often so afflicted than girls, and it may or may not be related to their mental capacity, since they may be excellent in their other school work. As soon as the parent recognizes that the child is not progressing along with the other children, something should be done about it.

First, of course, should come an examination of the eyes to be certain the child can see well, and also to determine if the eye muscles are sufficiently developed so that the child is ready for reading. The usual age of reading readiness is between 6 and 7, although it may be later with some children. Mrs. A. G.

Q. has an 8-year-old daughter who is having trouble with her reading. "She knows the words so much of the time, but, for instance, if the word is WHO, she will say WHEN or WHAT or WHERE. She brought home her spelling this week and we went over and over it. Yet when I asked her to say the words back to me, she didn't know them.

I want so much to help her and she asks me all the time to do something to help her. Will you give me some ideas?" This is an extremely difficult problem for anyone to solve. There is no one answer why children seem to be unable to learn to read. It may be an eye deficiency, as stated above, or be due to an emotional block so that, unconsciously, the child does not really want to read. It may also be that because she has had this Alice Waller Carnival To Have King, Queen The king and queen of Alice Waller School, Dixie Highway, will be crowned next Saturday at a carnival given by the A turkey and ham supper will be served at 5 p.m.

TIIISE WOMEN! Our All-Purpose Dress Gives Dior The Willies Hen Meyer, Anodmed Pre. Writer 'Grade-A TOKYO (By Mail) Rciko Tomiko is a "Grade-A Girl" at one of Tokyo's biggest and brassiest cabaret dance halls. 'Grade means that Reiko's male patrons spend more than $300 a week on liquor and fond at the Kimbasha (Golden Chariot), the nignt club where she and about 100 other hardworking 'hostesses" are employed. The generosity of her customers puts Reiko just about at the top of her profession. At 24, she feels she has come a long way.

Working strictly on commissions, she earns about $200 a month, more than three times as much as the average Japanese wage earner. Reiko earns far more than her father, a skilled and unionized carpenter. That is a source of embarrassemcnt to her. But her profession most decidedly isn't, though she admits her family, whom she considers old-fashioned, looks upon it with faint disapproval. She's 'l'mancipaltMi' In outward appearance, she in no way resembles the hardened tough-talking women whom Americans usually think of as dance hall queens.

Reiko's position in Japan's still unsettled and hesitant postwar society is what she can make. She prefers to regard herself as an "emancipated" woman of the new era. It isn't really surprising that she is bitterly critical of the geisha, the traditional entertainer-companion of old Japan, who she has, to a certain extent, supeiseded. "The geisha system must be done away with," llciko says in the remarkable fluent English the learned over innumerable night-club tables. "It is backward end it is holding up the progress of Japan and Japanese women." Hears Western Dress Possibly as a protest against the old Japan as represented in her mind by the geisha, Rriko never wears a kimono.

She freely confesses that most of her earnings go into her wardrobe of Western clothes, which is large, in good taste, and worn with much more flair than most Japanese women can manage.

Hcy-Diddlc-Diddle, The Book Rims Away With The Spoon IJy Helen Law Ion HAVANA, Cuba, Oct. 30 Someone asked Christian Dior at a press conference: "And what about the all purpose dress created in the United States?" The famous French designer's face took on a pained expression, as if he were watching an unruly child put a hatchet through the piano: "Uh-uh-uh," he said, struggling to be courteous.

This winter he is on leave from there, enjoying leisure at his Old Brownsboro Road farm. Collecting spoons is a fairly new hobby with Mr.

Stutzenberger, who started off by massing cabinetsful of old glass, china, and silver. But he hasn't done too badly with his spoon collection. He has over 1,000 spoons, all sterling, which souvenir spoons usually are. Mr. Stutzenberger's book is chiefly about souvenir spoons.

The first one, he says, was the Salem witch spoon, made in 1887. Within a year, 7,000 of these spoons had been sold. But he has also sketched the evolution of the spoon, and found himself writing a history book. It all fascinates him, probably because, as he writes in the foreward of his book, "Every American souvenir spoon is a 'talking and has a story behind it." The book, which sells for $10, was published by the author. There are 535 pages, and more than 200 spoons pictured.

The Gibbs-Inman Company here did the printing. Mr. Stutzenberger plans to place it soon in Louisville book shops. Till then, you'll have to buy it from him direct. COLLECTING souvenir spoons was a hobby for elegant Victorian ladies, as was china painting.

This fad, which started about 1887, died after the first World War it would be hard to imagine an It Girl of the 20's getting excited over a spoon! Interest, though, in souvenir spoons spoons which commemorate a town, an event, or a famous person might make a big comeback. And Albert Stutzenberger may spearhead it all. He has just written a book, "The American Story In Spoons," the first of five books he plans to write about spoons. Wrote Book Horn use of Need By the time Mr. Stutzenberger finishes writing all these books, collecting spoons may have become a national mania, as collecting old glass has.

Silver companies are beginning to manufacture souvenir spoons again. Mr. Stutzenberger explains that they stopped about 1922. It took Mr. Stutzenberger five years to write his first book, which came out several weeks ago.

"I did it because there was a need for it there is no book like mine on souvenir spoons." He wrote on it during his summer vacations, which Vtf 1'. NMUtn rw. I won it. I knew vou wouldn't let me buy one, so I bought $1,000 worth of raffle tickets!" i.
