I had them in the den last night?” Father spoke. Nobody knew. Mother offered her long sewing scis- sors, Bobby brought his little blunt ones and Peg said he could have her little embroidery scissors if she could find them. i In nearly every family there is a constant hunt for the scissors. There should be—and theoretically there are—enough sciszors in the house so that each pair could stay where it belonged; but some way nothing trav- ols around a house so busily as & z00d, sharp pair of scissors, np mat- fer how many pairs therc are “some- where.’ The solution for this problem lies, I believe, in a sort of “central scissors rack,’ handily located and large enough to accommodate every size of Shears and scissors, except, perhaps, the little manicure scissors that are dividual use. for IMfie home where I saw this idea worked out the scissors rack was a square board covered with dark-blue fait into which were screwed some brags screw hooks. Here hung the long; narrow shears beloved of father for clipping things from the paper and indispensable to mother when it dame to outting out garments. Here, too, were the medium scissors of two sisos for the dozen-and-one cutting tasks around the house a pair of small scissors that the children were 2llowed to use, and a pair very small, exoeedingly sharp ones for an occa- sional bit of fine household surgery. This, however, was a common family V\rack. - Each person had scissors aacred to his or her own room and The pub- | ITTENHOUSE, who dig deep into new fashions saw the Yevolutionary trend of brims, even though they continued to cover the eyes with down-tilted shapes and masque veils, Suddenly to the pub lic, the brim flared upward. It rolls backward, now, from the face on small and large hats, but it does not attempt this trick with a small crown. It knows better. Nor does it even touch the crown. It does not flatten back ltke a dog’s ears when it sees something it doesn't like. There are immense black velvet hats with brims five inches wide that roll upward and outward. There are turbans with several pliable crowns larger than the head su rounded by rolling brims which re- mind one of a little boy's hat. Pos- sibly the designers got their sugges- tion from just such an article. The man's felt hat which has been worn for a year in Europe by women of fashion appears in our shop windows as a new offering. When milliners found women liked it, they searched. probably, through juvenile custumery and hit upon_this soft shape with a rolling brim bound with ribbon. The sketch shows one of beige colored straw, its brim edged with ribbon, the side of its crown deco- rated with a petal-shaped piece of straw, also edged with ribbon from the center of which fall ribbon loops to_one shoulder. This type of hat is often made of wide ribbon, its crown divided into sections outlinéd with braid or fancy galloon, the brim wired to keep its shape, for few women can stand a| disorderly brim. Not all these uprolling brims are regular in _outline like a saucer. Some are elongated at sides. others dip and fall like an airplane. So much for the shape. The reall difficulty lies in the adjustment. The woman who_imagines she can show | her forehead under such brims will look her worst in such a hat if she carries out the idea. It must be placed as far over the brows as the| helmet hat. | It is not intended to show more | i l | than an inch of hair at back. (Copyright, 1923.) By Thornton W. Burgess. Happy Jack dodged around the trunk 1of a tree, | _“Thief "yourself:" retorted Happy | Jack. “What right have you to cail |me a thief? You haven't seen me steal anything. | “You have stolen my peanuts!” cried Sammy Jay. “How "do” you know manded Happy Jack. seen me steal any. If you have lost any peanuts, go catch the thief. if there is one, and don't blame people until you know whether or not they are guilty.” All the time Happy Jack was dodging around the trunk of ) that tree, and Sammy Jay was dart- |ing at him and trying to strike him with his sharp bill. Suddenly Sammy caught sight of Chatterer the Red Squirrel in an- other trees a short distance away. Tt was a tree in which Sammy had hid- den a peanut. Sammy forgot Happy Jack. He flew straight over to that other tree, Just as he reached it a piece of peanut shell dropped from Chatterer's paws. Sammy saw it. His rage became so great that for a mo- ment he couldn’t find his voice, When he did find it he screamed as if he would split his throat, He flew at Chatterer just as he had flown at Happy Jack. Now Chatterer can move quickly. i He hadn’t the least trouble in keep- ing out of Sammy Jay's way. In fact. he enjoved dodging around that tree trunk. And as he dodged, be in_his turn called Sammy Jay names. You know Chatterer delights to see other people angry, and especially does he delight In seelng Sammy Jay angry. Happy Jack chuckled as he listened | to the racket Sammy Jay and Chat- | terer were making. Then he took that opportunity to go hunt for more of Sammy Jay's hiding places. Pre; ently he found one, and promptly e up to eat that peanut. Sammy Ja: pausing to get his breath, happened to look over to that tree and saw Happy Jack. Instantly he flew at | Happy_Jack In a worse rage than | ever. Chatterer took that opportunity | to hunt for another peanut, and pres- lently he found one. So it went on. Sammy Jay tiring himself out in rage, and those two Squirrel sins taking advantage of it to get those hidden peanuts. (Copyright, 1923, by T. W. Burge: I have?” de- “You haven't Menu for a Day.

Quite recently women of wealth and artistic taste have taken up the fad of painted dining rooms. They have grown tired of polished mahogany or oak and have stored away or sold the heavy pleces of traditional dining room furniture, to have their dining rooms done over by the decorators into gayer, more cheerful places, with woodwork’ painted in gray or green, | blue or light brown. The painted dining table covered with runners and doilies of filet lace constitutes the latest fad in equip- ment for formal dinner parties—in ihls rather restricted set of wealthy olk. Here Is a good suggestion for the woman Who, lacking any sort of! dining room furniture, is planning to | equip her dining room at small ex- | pense. A painted dining room may be {a very expensive proposition if you call in a famous interior decorator to take charge of the matter, but if you use your own ingenuity and possibly :do_your own painting, then it is lesa i expensive than the conventional dining room with its set of polished i wood, table chalirs, buffet and china i closet. In place of a buffet you may have shelves simply constructed built in by a carpenter at small expense. It is possible to buy at very small cost plain unpainted chairs of good line. i{These you can paint yourself to match {the tone that you have selected. Your woodwork should be painted to match. | The table presents something of a | problem. It may be that you have an | jold table that will do. Of course, if | {it is a good piece of mahogany or black walnut you would not wish to treat it to a coat of paint, but if it is of inferior wood and not attractive as it stands you could sandpaper it down and then treat it to enough coats of paint, followed by a coat of hard enamel paint, to make it into a suit- able table. You might instead buy an unpainted table of inexpensive wood but good proportion that you could paint in the same way. LIFE’S LITTLE I IRAMIL met at the Legion dance last week. Ever since the god of fashion clalmed the heart of womankind we have been on the hop, skip and jump to catch up with him. None of us ever know just what lane he will choose next. And, strange to say, few of us { ever tire of him, for his moods are as versatile as the winds. Fashion news tells us that the new- est frocks shall have skirts composed of two, three or four flounces or tiers, and hemlines are to be cven once more. One-sidedness, the most important teature of the season, is exploited in the frock shown, as well as the new- est in skirts. Wool duvetyn, wool jersey, wool crepe, any of the popular twills, serge, crepe de chine, Canton faille or crepe, are materials that would suit this style immensely well.

RACIAL ORIGIN—English and G man, SOURCE—Descriptive. It was not until after the Norman conquest and the two races, Norman and Anglo-Saxon, had begun to inter- mingle thoroughly that the period of industrial growth began, This period, one of increasing pros- perity for the medieval English, was also the period in which the real growth of family names began in that country. It was a period in which, as a result of the new soclal and eco- nomfc order, there was a consfderable shifting _about of population. Men moved about from place to place, in the slackening bonds of feudalism, searching for new opportunities. There was not a community that did not have its quota of new settlers. When you search for another word than “newcomers” by which to desig- nate them you realize how naturally they came to be called “newcomers’ by the communities in which they set- tied. _Such names as “Peter le Newe, “Geoftrey le Newcomer” and “Roger Newcommen” (“newly come”) are quite frequent in the medieval records of about about this period. The name of Newcomb properly should not have that final “b,” for it does not come from the word omb,” descriptive of the character of the land, like the names Combs, Coombe and Coombes.

Mr. Mussolini, meet Mr. Glolittl. Mr. Glolitti, meet Mr. d'Annunzio.” That's the Itallan king’s chief job— to introduce the outgoing premier to his successor. In the last seventy- five years, Italy has changed its gov- ernment on an everage of every eleven and a half months, Of late years, she has speeded up a bit; the last five governments have averaged less than six months each. Some- times, for days and weeks, there lsn't any government at all, except the king. The latter is on speaking terms wil everybody. He has to be. He doesn't dare shout “Beaver’ at even the most disreputable ofd gray beard In the streets of Rome—for tomorrow the latter may be prime minister. Victor Emmanuel fits naturally into the job of matchmaker between the warring factions. Ho is the Tex Rickard of Italy. He matches Mr. Lenin's ~communists against Mr. @'Annunzlo’s fascisti, and the winner | fights Mr. Marx’s soclalists for the premier's cup. And during the inter- missions, when the country is uncer- tain as to just who is its champion, the King sits up there in the Quirinal, and makes a noise like a regular ruler—although he really does not have any more to do with governing the country than Charlie Chaplin does with holding down Wil Hays' ob. After each decisive political bout, the people forget their king. And the king? He goes fishing with his daughters at the mouth of the Arno, and thanks God that there are some | things in Italy that never change: the woods, the hills, the ruddy vi lages and the sea. I was there last summer when the fascist! were marching up and down the streets in their black shirts and making threatening gestures which culminatd a little later in the march on Rome. In the midst of all this confusion the king came to Florence, . the very heart of factionism. People who had not thought about the king for years turned out in joyful greet- ing.” Mr. d'Annunzio's followers and Mr. Lenin's and Mr. Marx’s, march- :dr:;m in arm along the banks of the “The king is popular,” I suggested to, my Florentine counselor. - “Huh!" he replied. “You don't know the Itallan. He will stop work any"* time to see a funeral. If there are flowers and a band, he'll knock off for the day! Walt until tomorrow.” That night Emmanuel slept in thd = Pitti Palace—if a man can sleep with all those Botticelli women leering down at him!—secure in the thought that in Florence, at least, he was & popular idol. He woke to find the streets about the palace deserted. His subjects had returned to their nor- mal life of breaking each others heads in the back streets of the town, , It's too bad, for Emmanuel is a manly little fellow, with a firm hand- - shake and a direct, sweet smile. He would make a wonderful citizen—if he didn’t have to be king!
