FEATURES. Twins’ Styles for Varying Ages BY Over from the summer hotels had come the city-bred woman and her boy of six, dressed, as his mother thought, in manner correct and at- tractive. They walked along the country road and stopped to watch a barefoot country boy of four in over- alls, playing with his kitten. The woman asked the usual ques- ions, “What is your kitty's name?" 'What is your name?” “How old are you? The barefoot boy stood this ill- mannered show of curiosity as long #s he could, then, with a supreme ef- fort to look as tough as a four-year- old can, he said: “Say, is that a giri or a boy?" pointing scornfully at the six-vear-old youngster at the wom- an’s side. Such is little boy nature that nine- ty-nine out of every hundred would probably rather wear a pair of 98- cent overalls than one of the expen- sive and fashionable little suits that leave one guessing whether it belongs to a girl or boy. For nowadays there really is precious little difference in the mode of girls and boys of tender Years. This is_to the advantage of the ‘woman who likes to dress her chil- dren alike. The woman of today goes in for this sort ¢f thing. The boy of three, the girl of eight and her sister of twelve are dressed as nearly as possible like peas in a pod. Mean- while the modern mother talks about the importance of not submerging her children’s personalittes, permitting them to develop their own personal- ities, while all the time whatever ego they may possess in this matter of dress must be having a desperately hard time to survive. ‘Who knows but this fad for dress- ing children alike may have bene- ficial effects on the birth rate? The idea used to be that only twins could be dressed alike, then that only chil- dren of near ages or like sex. But there seem to be no such limitations nowadays on this practice of similar attiring. The sketch shows a girl of nine or ten and a boy of four looking as near- 1y alike as smocks of green and white checked gingham, green ties, white collars, white and green socks, white sandals and tiny white cloches with green bands could make them. The White pleated skirt and the tiny white breeches make the only difference. (Copyright, 1924.) BEDTIME STORIE - Again the Unexpected Happens. Though hope to be gone, just keep on going; The end you have no means of knowing. —Peter Rabbit. Peter Rabbit couldn't see any ©hance for escape. He knew that he couldn’t tire out Reddy Fox by run- ning. He himself was growing more tired every minute. It was harder and harder work to dodge. He knew that Reddy Fox felt absolutely sure of catching him this time, and he him- self felt that Reddy had every reason to feel sure. Still, there was just a wee, wee bit L} AROUND THAT TURN HE WENT, LIPPERTY-LIPPERTY-LIP. of hope left in Peters heart. Some- thing might happen. He couldn’t think of anything that would be like- 1y to happen, but still something might happen. Anyway, he wouldn’t give up. He would run and dodge just as long as he had strength enough to move a leg. “You may as well give up, Peter Rabbit,” snarled Reddy, at his very heels. ~“You haven't a chance.

Today's aspects are decidedly good Bnd especially favor research work, study and any undertaking of a literary or an artistic nature. They are by no means adverse to business, or to any- thing that requires decision, quick thought and energetic action. If you have been disappointed heretofore in unraveling a problem, or putting through a proposition, today presents & propitious opportunity for attacking the difficulty anew. The vibrations counsel progressive methods. If you have brought a new life fnto the world today, you will be justified in watching it during the first few months of its existence with great care, giving special attention to nutrition and regularity of habits. This period once passed, it will cause you very little worry about health and physical development. Its dis- position. will be sunny and bright; very quick to learn; more imitative than original. Give it, therefore, something good to imitate. Its char- acter will depend, in a very marked degree, on the influences that sur- round it during childhood. The les- sons it receives then will never be forgotten or go unheeded. 1s today your birthday? Why, it so, do you nullify Your many endear ing characteristics and your natural charm by an extremeness that shocks Your friends and Keeps you yourself in_constant hot water? You cannot, of course, be indiffer- ent to wrong, or wrong doing. If you feel warmly, you speak warml: out of the fullness of your heart. Yo should, however, be on your guard against impatient scorn. The very temper which makes you earnest makes you also at times intolerant. Of all mental gifts, the rarest is in- tellectual patience, and the last les- son of culture is to believe in dif- ficulties which are invisible to our- selves. The best corrective of intolerance in disposition is increase of wisdom and enlarged experience of life. Cul- tivated good sense will usually spve men from the entanglements in which normal _impatience is apt to involve them. Large, generous natures, in proportion to their practical wisdom, are disposed to make allowance for ifhe defects and disadvantages of others. Goethe once sald, “I see no fault committed which I also might not have committed.” ‘Well known persons born on_ this date are: Benjamin F. De Costa, clergyman; Alvan G. Clarke, optician and astronomer; John W. Griges, jurist and governor, once attorney general; Finley Peter Dunne, jour- alist and author; Albert Bigelow aine, author and editor.

Twice Reddy's black paws all but landed on him as he dodged. Each time Peter seemed to gain new strength from the nar- rowness of his escape. But this couldn’'t keep up much longer and Peter knew it. At last Peter was out in the Lone Little Path once more. Just ahead of him was a sharp turn. Around that turn he went lipperty-lipperty-lip. It was down hill. Peter with his eyes rolled back to watch Reddy Fox, didn't see what was ahead of him And so it was that he almost ran right into Bowser the Hound and Farmer Brown's Bo: He didn’t see the latter at all, but he did see Bowser just_in time fo keep from running straight into his mouth. He made a frightened leap to one side and then all his strength seemed to leave him. He couldn't make another jump to save himself. He just fell flat and panted and panted as if he never would get his breath Peter closed his eyes to wait for the end. But after a few seconds he opened them again with such a funny look in them. He had just become aware of a great noise in the Green Forest. At first he couldn't think what it was. Then he recognized the great voice of Bowser the Hound. Little by little he began to under- stand why Reddy Fox had not caught him. Reddy had come around that turn in the Lone Little Path right at his heels. But Reddy had been look- ing ahead and had seen Bowser the Hound. Without a2 pause Reddy and dodged to one side, and away he had gone, as fast as his legs could take him. Bowser hadn't even looked at Peter. With a roar of his great voice he had started after Reddy. Peter heard a step close to him. He looked up Farmer Brown's Boy was standing there, looking down at him. “You poor little chap,” said Farmer Brown's Boy. “Bowser and 1 came along just in time.” He stooped down and picked Peter up, and Peter didn’t even struggle. He carried Peter up the Lone Little Path until they came to a pramble tangle. Then he set Peter down gently and Peter slowly hopped into that bram- ble tangle. He was safe once more. It didn't seem possible, but it was true. (Coprright, 1924, by T. W. Burgess.) MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. Nothing can hap- A Real Play Yard.

Butterfly Salad. Take some good sound tomatoes, either red or yellow, cut them in slices little more than a quarter of an inch in thickness, and put the curved sides facing each other, thus resembling wings. Mold some cream cheese colored green into conelike shape for the body of the butterfly. Supply a seedless raisin for the head, swelled in water until plump and then easily shaped, or make the head from the volk of a hard-boiled egg, mashed and moistened with a little mayonnaise, with tiny points of clove for” eyes. Make antennas of green pepper or pimento, according to the color of the tomatoes, so that there will be contrasting colors. Arrange flat on individual plates with lettuce leaves or water cress around. If the tomato slices are large, cut them in halves, being careful to have the curved side in when facing each other, with the body between. Put a little French dressing over, and a spoonful of mayonnaise at one side. Lobster, Southern Style. Cut two boiled lobsters in halves lengthwise, remove the meat, and cut in cubes. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter. When bubbling, add one slice of onion, chopped fine, one tablespoonful of chopped parsley, and one-fourth teaspoonful of mustard. Stfr while, cooking for five minutes, but do not brown. Add two tabl spoonfuls of flour. When bubbling, add one cupful of rich milk and stir and cook to the boiling point.

It came as a serprize to his father and myeelf wen little Herbit ferst showed an inclination to clime up on our lap and puntch us repeetedly in the nose, wich altho it may not be a vital spot nobody can deny its a tender one.

A few minutes passed, while the boys and girls at the Color Cut-outs’ wild west show waited for the next act Then Jack came out again, this time disguised as a Mexican bandit He crouched down behind some dry goods boxes painted up to represent rocks, ‘Here I wait until stage coach pass,” declared the bandit in a loud whisper. “Then I get money from trunk. I hear it is full of gold— much gold.” Then the stage coach trotted out. The Mexican pointed his gun and cried out, “Bang! Bang!” Away ran the stage coach, and the trunk on the back dropped off. The Mexican ran to open it, but just then other shots were heard, somewhere inthe dis- tance. The Mexican has very dark red trousers, a yellow blouse and hat and a bright red scarf.

The Perfect Blend ‘The skill acquired by long experience has produced Should Older Brothers and Sisters Take Care of Younger Ones? Why There Are More Divorces Now Than There Used to Be. AR DOROTHY DIX: What duty do the grown-up brothers and sisters owe to their younger sisters and brothers, who are of school age and under? Is it their duty to help support them if the father is unable to do s0? B. AND O. Answer: I think it is the duty of the older brothers and sisters to help the younger ones get an cducation and a start in life, but this done, the youngsters should be made to stand upon their own feet. There is certainly no reason why the older brothers and sisters should be made the perpetual family goat, as they so often are. For this reason T think it is a good thing if the older ones make the younger ones understand that they must pay back, when they get to earning money, all that the older ones have spent on their education. Younger brothers and sisters are very apt to depend too much upon their older brothers and sisters, and think that because John and Mary educated them that John and Mary should take care of them the balance of their lives. I know many cases in which the eldest son or daughter of a family has sacrificed his or her entire life to taking care of younger brothers and sisters, and_often enough they have gotten scant pay in appreciation or gratitude. I recall one case in particular in which a pretty young girl refused to marry the man she loved in order to educate a brilliant young brother. For many years she toiled like a slave, all of her earnings going to put him through college and law school, and maintain him until he got a start in his profession, and later on. when he was a distinguished judge, and she was poor and old and sick, he paid his debt to her by boarding her in the poorest, cheapest place in a miserable’ little town and refusing to pay her doctor's bills. % Nevertheless, there is such a thing as duty to one's family, and there is an obligation of honor for the strong to help the weak. Sometimes it happens that one member of a family seems to inherit all of the strength of body and mind, and to get all of the intelligence and backbone and initiative that the parents had to bequeath to their offspring, and in such cases the gifted one should surely look out for his brothers and sisters who have no faculty for getting along themselves. The man with executive ability should make places in his business for his brothers and sisters who are too blind ever to see the open door of opportunity for themseives. The rich man should give of his plenty to those less well off. but he should be careful not to let the spineless lean on him too heavily, nor make parasites of those to whom he_ is generous. DOROTHY DIX. [DUAR POROTHY DIX: Why are there so many more divorces nowadays than there used to be? Do you think that the way women dress now, and the modern style of dancing have anything to do with it? Do you think that bachelors are afraid to marry now because they see so many examples of unhappy marriages?® LA Answer: I don't think that the way women dress has any bearing on the divorce question. A man's grievance against his wife has to be greater than the length of her skirt to make him willing to pay alimony to get rid of her. Husbands have always criticized their wives' clothes and declared that the fashion, no matter what it was in any age, was the limit of asininity, but they went on living with the women whose costumes they derided. Nor do I believe that jazz is responsible for marital infelicity. The reason that there are more divorces than there used to be is because people are demanding more of life than they used to. We demand better houses, better food, better clothes, more amusement, more luxuries, more happiness, than our parents and grandparents did. In former times when people got married they expected to settle down to a life of hard work and self-denial, and to putting up with what- ever sort of a disposition their husband or wife had. Now when a young couple get married they amuse themselves pretty much as they did before a super-agreeable companion and playmate marry. And when they don’t, they don’t suffer in silence. divorce court and it over again. Undoubtedly, also, the emancipation.of women swells the number of divorces, for far more women divorce their husbands than men divorce their wives. Probably men are just as good husbands now as they ever were, but grandmother had to stand grandpa. no matter how unfaithful he was to her, no matter how he abused her or how stingy and cantankerous he was, for grandpa was grandma's meal ticket and her card of admission to good society. | expect marriage, in the man to continue to and to find or woman they They hop to the A divorced woman was a disgraced woman no matter how righteous she was, nor how justified she was in ridding herself of a fiend, so she had to endure a miserable marrizge with what patience she could. But now we view the matter differently. We see that no good purpose is achieved by keeping two people together who have come to hate each other, and who bring out the worst that is in each other and that no one should be made to pay with a lifetime of misery for a mistake that was made in all innocence and good faith. And, when every woman can support herself. she does not have to sta tied to a man she loathes for the sake of a livelihood. i T do not believe that bachelors are kept from marrying by the spectacle of unhappy marriages. We never learn from the mistakes of others because we all feel that we could have succeeded where they failed. The high cost of living and selfishness are the real reasons why bachelors stay bachelors. T DOROTHY DIX.

Tt is only within quite recent times that it has been made by ma- chinery, though some exceedingly fine qualities are manufactured in the factories now. Now, Irish crochet lace is not only lovely. but durable. Time and hard wear leave it largely unhurt, but the tub test is one it does not pass so easily. In washing your Irish cro- chet you should pull out carefully every edge, every minute point, for if you do not .the lace will be out of shape and will appear uadesirably thickened up until the next launder- ing. However, this trait is not pecu- liar to crocheted laces alone. To ap- pear at its best, every fine lace needs “Irish Crochet.” Like blue serge and sensible shoes, some form of Irish crochet lace is perennially in style. It is one of the famous mbroideries” of Limerick.

Take It Easy. 5 How often do we hear busy house- wives say: “I could get along in hot weather if I could only keep quiet and didn't have to exert myself. It is when I have to bustle around at my work that I get all wet with perspiration and feel as if I were burning up.” Well, lot's take it easy in very warm ‘days. 1 have often seen a neighbor come out on her porch on Foot Rules. That sovereign remedy for auto- intoxication, two miles of oxygen three times a day on the hoof, has lost none, of its prophylactic or cur- ative value since the advent of bal- loon tires. Like castor oil, this remedy has a serious drawback; to most people it is disagreeable to take. Unlike cas- tor oil, it is nevertheless the more necessary for the very people who find it so disagreeable to take. Prob- 4B1y there are few healthy folks who hate to take exercises more than I do, but I have a feeling that by whipping and driving myself to take the exercise I need, | manage to keep on the bright side of the shadowy borderland between health and unhealth. One reason why many people who gorely need six miles of oxygen un- der their own power do not get it is because they think they can't with- out chafing, sweating and acquiring blisters and everything. For such 1 would suggest a few foot rule For walking it is better to wear thick, soft stockings, preferably wool, under the feet, not thin silk. lisle or cotton. The wool is a softer cover- ing and pad which acts as a Kind of shock absorber, saving the skin of the soles from excessive friction and pressure. Some experienced walkers find that cork insoles serve this purpose very well. But in gen- eral thick, soft woolen socks or stock- ings with such feet are advisable for walking. If you are going in for long walks it is wise to carry an extra pair of socks and change in the middle of the day. A reader offered an excellent sugs gestion for the carc of the feet. He found that the liberal use of com- mon talcum powder such as is used in_tire casings, tends to keep the feet cool and to prevent excessive sweating, which he thought was in part due to excessive friction, and this the talcum overcame. When the feet sweat too much it is well to lay in a stock of plain talcum or talcum and boric acid combined, and also a small sprinkler box of salicylic acid. Then give the insides of the shoes a liberal sprinkling with the talcum and a wee bit of the salicylic acid over that, every day or_two.

Women suffer most from tight, narrow shoes, and in some cages from high narrow heels, which _simply can't be worn for walking. Men sometimes err on the side of having the shoes too large The soles should be heavy enough to prevent the impressions of pebbles or other irregularities from going through to the feet. Low cut snoes (oxfords or sandals) are preferable if the nature of the ground to be covered is favorable. High shoes are better if you are to walk through rough ground. High shoes, however, should not constrict the ankles or instep.

You will know Irish crochet lace trom ordinary crochet by the picots careful laundering. self-cording. on the threads which form the mesh, and by its heavy pattern, sometimes raised, and most often of rose or clover leaf design. The lace is called “Baby Irish” when the pattern is very flat. You can properly buy Irich crochet to use for collars, cuffs, neckwear. lace vests and fine undergarments. You will often see it on ready-made wear, perhaps combined with real Valenciennes and real filet with ex- cellent effect. Genuine Irish crochet lace is made by hand. The lacemaker either uses a crochet hook for the entire process or makes the pattern with the hook, and applies it onto net made by bob- bin_or machine. This lace is proof of the fact that the Irish have made no attempt to develop a distinctly national lace, but have preferred to imitate the best in the laces of other lands. For Irish crochet lace is, in reality, an imitation of Spanish and Venetian needlé-point laces, although it is like them in general effect rather than in detail. Many of the patterns which the Irish lacemakers have imitated so cleverly have come to be thought of as Irish In origin. The very word ‘“crochet,” however, comes from the French and the Dan ish languages. Its derivation is the French word “crochet,” ~ or and the Danish word — meaning hook. The earliest crochet work was the product of nunneries— rather than of factories, as much of it is today.

Several months ago you wrote about a relief for hay fever and asthma. Will you kindly repeat the name of the remedy and directions for its use—L. I B. Answer.—Calcium chlorid or cal- cium lactate was the name of the medicine I suggested for victims of hay fever or asthma. Take about five grains of either, dissolved .n not less than a glassful of water after meals regularly two or three times a day for several weeks, or through- out the hay fever season. 1In most cases there is a calcium deficit in the blood. In many cases there is some fault in the assimilation of calcium, and this fault is overcome by a very small dose of parathyroid or tryhoid substance every day or two in conjunction with the calcium chlorid or calcium lactate treatment. E. J. T. sends a_newspaper clip- ping which tells of poisoning of a atudent who put on some dyed shoes before the dye was dry. The student became cyanosed (lips, nails and skin turned biue) and suffered headache, vertigo, great weakness, dilated pupils, etc, much as in many other cases’ of poisoning from shoe dye— anilin black. E. J. T. particularly wishes me to note the paragraph which reads: “The poison of the dye entered his blood stream.” How come? Surely the poison wasn't absorbed through the skin of the student’s feet? Answer.—Of course, not. The anilin black is quite volitile and the warmth of the feet .evaporated it all the more and the student in- haled enough to produce the poison- ous effects. The dye has a pro- nounced odor.
