Writing or Vanity Case in Disguise BY MARY We are inclined to think of the fad for carrying all sorts of little ac- cessorfes in_ the head of the cane or walking stick as being something quite modern. “What will they think of mext?” is apt to be the comment heard outside the showcase display- ing the new cates that contain writ- ing sets, powder and other accessorios. But as a matter of fact this isn't a new i{dea at all. but'a very, very old one that has just been revived. Way back in in the reign of Louis XV of France, women carried walking sticks, some of them over four feet in length, and these contained little perfume bottles and sometimes eye- glasses which could be opened up and used In lorgnette fashion—with the can as the handle. Some, In fact, had more complicated tops, which proved to be pairs of telecsopes, much to the delight of women who wanted to &et a view of distant objects. All through the reigns of Louls XV and Louis XVI fashionable canes were very long both for men and women and the long cane trimmed with a bunch of ribbon near the top is characteristic of pictures of those days. It was only the cane that was frankly used as an aid to the gouty or stiff-jointed that was short enough to be used without ralsing the hand nearly to the shoulder. Today some of the canes are long and some are short. In fact, the very short cane that seems little more than a baton Is quite as smart as the long ‘onc. One that has attracted much favorable comment is rather long, wound with Roman-striped rib- hon, with a rosette of the ribhon near the head. companion piece for this colorific cane there is a purse— @ rather small envelope made of Ro- man-striped ribbon. It is usual cnough to carry a cane that turus out to be a miniature dressing —mirror, rouge, lipstick and pow all contained therein. The cane that hides pen, pencil and a tiny bottle of ink is more of a nov- elty.” For the more conservative woman who will have none of these tricks the choice seems to be for the black and white walking stick. Some- times these are made with black and white silk entirely covering them, and again the effect is produced by paint Going Away. Going away is the last drop of Joy in the happy child's cup. There's nothing to compare with it, not even $oIng to the circus or having a birth- day party. Going away is the real thrill. Children haven't the sentimental affection for familiar faces and tables and dishes and sounds and things that mean home to older folks. They have lived with them long that they have never really seen them. They have lonis ago ceased to feel any respon: to the daily round and are’ becoming a bit bored with it. Send them away from home. Change off the group in the country for the one in the city if you possibly can manage it. And don’t go with them. Let a stranger serve them. . Watch their faces when you say, “Your Aunt Ellen has asked you to visit them for a week at Easter va- cation, I think you can mo.” If they are the usual children there’ll be whoops of joy and a few things will fall off the table and the clamor will drown anything you wish to say for the next few minutes. Then pack- ing will begin. The dog and the Kitten, of course, cannot go and there will have to be a selection of clothes. Let them share the selecting and the packing and buying the tickets. Some grown per- son will have to supervise the trip and accompany them to the end of the line, perhaps, but if possible it should not be father or mother. A week is about the right period. Anything shorter will not allow the newness to wear off sufficiently to miss the home things and the home s0 What Today Means to You| BY MARY BLAKE. Good aspects prevail until late in the afternoon, and favor business ac- tivity and all descriptions of research ‘work. They, however, do not warrant Jack of reasonable conservatism, nor the taking of unnecessary risks. New ventures, however, If they be based on the accepted foundations of care and prudence, may be initiat. ed and actively developed. The brations during the evening and night counsel rest, relaxation. and, if possible. a cessation of all business activitles. A child born today will, if all con- ditlons be normal, be blessed with good health, and a sunny disposi- tion. This combination will endear it to one and all, and, as a natural ten- dency, it will be shown more consid- eration than is good for any child during the formative period of life. Strict discipline will be unnecessary, but it must be taught methodical habits and to think of others' happi- ness and convenience as well as its own. Otherwise, “sunny' dis- position” will be’clouded with self- interest and selfishness. 1t today is Your birthday you have the unfortunate habit of exacting much from vour friends and giving very little in return. You have a very attractive personality, and this £ecures for vou more admiration and attention than is good for your own well-being. You have become so ac- customed to the adulation of those nround you that you now look upon it as a right, instead of a privilege. “That man may last, but never lives Who much receives, but nothing itude which has been al- mest unconsciously brought about by the excessive devotion of others, has created selfishness and an element of ingratitude that can only cventually bring in its train disillusionment and dlsappointment, not alone to you, but to all your friends. Reciprocal service is not only the Xkeynote of friendsbip, but is also & guarantee of success. Ingratitude and a short memory are the propas- gandlsts of discord and dislike. No charm is great enough to outweigh ingratitude; no speech {s subti®: enough to camouflage selfishness. ‘Well known persons born on this date are: Philip Kearney, major gen- eral; John G. Saxe, poet, journalist and 'lecturer; George H. Corliss, in- ventor; Willard Sau:sbury, legislator: George L. Curry, Governor of Oregon; George W. Smalley, journallst. (Copyright, 1924.)

Aunt Ellen won't re- member Marie's orunge juice in the morning, and shell know nothing about laving out fresh stockings for Billy which is quite all right.

They gain experiences that money cannot buy. They widen their horizon phys- ically and mentally. They taste r sponsibilty and contrast new situ tions with old ones. They return as gladly as they went, the wiser for going. Don't feel hurt because they are so glad to go away. Just remember that children are leaving us from the minute they arrive up to the day they finally go. That is why they came, Make their going richer for them and for you by letting them learn what it is they are leaving and a little of what It 1s toward which they go. (Copsright, 1024.)

One mother says: . T do not require my children to meet every one who comes to see me. They are able to greet strang- ers politely, but it seems to me unfair to the children to call them in to be cordial to people in whom they have no interest and to answer their often- times _foolish questions. A mother hasn’t a right to put such a test to a child’'s good nature that she may “show it off.” (Copyright, 1924.)

The Juvenile Veranda. Did you ever stop to think that while most homes are established for the express purpose of founding 2 family and raising children, as a matter of fact most houses seem planned, built and furnished solely for the benefit of the adults of the family and not for the children at all? There is the front kept immaculate. There is the front porch—not to be traced up by small, muddy feet. There is the living room, politely equipped with aduit chairs, pietures, books and orna- ments.

To be sure, in some homes there is the nursery for the bables (In very few homes how- over) and when the little folks get old enough, perhaps each has a room to himself, but there is no special provision for their free and joyous activities, where they will not dis- turb their elders and be oorreoted and restrained by them, and where they can feel that they gre in thelr vn_domalin. ““iWhen T realized,” & mother told me recently, “that my young adoles- cents had no place of their own in which to entertain their friends, and that while they were of cour t 11b- erty to use the front Veran: lawn—to be (A RERRAARARRRRRD) P living room, they did not feel thor- oughly free there, their father and I took steps to give them a large, com- fortable porch all for themselVes.
