WOMAN'S PAGE. Brush and Wax Mold Accessories BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. It is an interesting discovery to find out how much of an artist one is, and just how much artistry can be put to use in fashioning pretty things for the home or to we Perhaps you are familiar with the quotation from “Through the Looking Glass™: *The time has come,” the Walrus said, "to talk of many things— Of shoes, and sealing wax, of cabbages, and kings.’ We talk today of £hips . . . but % of which may | shoes the uses weli the upon and good. Do so, and sketch outlines of it lightly in pencil the hat. Be sure beforehand how u want to distribute the colors, and never begin to paint upon the hat or any article until you have first experimented upon a piece of goods. Just as an artist tries his cslors and makes preliminary sketches, S0 should vou. A piece of duvetyn or scrap of heavy goods, preferably of the same color, offers a good “try Dicce Setn. A very popular combination is de- vised by painting hat bands and bags to match. Heavy ribbon or silk is ideal for the foundation. It is not necessary to make up your own pat- terns. You can copy & motif from anything that attracts or employ a transfer pattern. Go about it just as if you were going to embroider the design, only at the time when you weuld begin to thread a needle, in- stead you dip a brush in the right shade of sedling wax “paint.” Bright colors show up best on a dark ground. It you use a light ground of ecru, for instance, or oyster gray, you can use bizarre colorings in oriental effect. A good idea is to take a piece of bright-colored trimming, or a ple- ture in which you like the color com- binations, using your discretion, follow the color scheme. Divers Uses. are many other things be- and bags to which the ing wax decoration lends itself. Belts of leather or cloth may be livened with touches of sealing wax in color, painted on rather thick rfs of crepe de chine muy have de painted on lightly in colors to blend with a cosiume. Chiffon veils for motoring may be given a colorful edge by the same method. These uses for sealing wax in decora- tion are mentioned, frrespective of the many others to which it may be put in lamp sbades, household ad sories, ete. Its uses in lending color to interfors will be touched upon in a later article.

AR MISS DIX: T am a young married man with a wife and one child. Ever since we have been married w« have lived near our people, but now We have moved to a distant town, where I can make more money than I did in the home town, and huve mueh better prospects. My wife, however, Is very dissatisfied and wants to go back to the place where she knows everybody, and she says she would rather do with less there in her home town, and even would rather work and support herself there than stay here with rge. WORRIED HUSBAND. Answer: Stand pat where you are. Stay where you have the best prospect. Many a weak mma has let a foolish woman blight his career by foreing him to go back to Main street to iive. There was nothing for him on Main street but a little clerkship, while there were boundless possibilities in the world beyond. But thewoman cried to go back to mother and the man went, although he knew it was a foolish thing to do. Don't make this mistake. If a woman is worth while, if she is any sort of a helpmate, she is amhitious for her husband’s future, and she Is willing to go wherever interests call him. Ruth had the real wife stuff in her when she said: “Where tiwu goest [ will go, and thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.” 2 1t I were a man and had a whie who thought more of mother than she did of me 1 would let her go back hiome and stay. And if she was such a poor sport that she wash't willing o stand by me when I was making my fight in a new place I would think that she was small loss. But first I would try to make her realize that homesickness wears off in a little while, and that if she would ke an honest effort to adapt herselt to her mew surroundings she would soon have friends and pleasant acquaintances, and that she would ceamse to pine for her old home And while this adjusting process was going on 1 would let her home to visit s often as possible. This would gradually wean her Lecause it is amazing how soon we drep out of the life of when we leave it, and how alien we feel when we go bac You can never take up old ties just where you lay them down, and this malkes it always a disappointment when we g0 back to the old home. Some- thing intangible has gone out of the old life that We cannot recapture again. As for your wife's threats to go back and go to work and support herself, let her try {t.

EAR MISS DIX: I have a son who is studying to become a minister. He will finish college in June, and then he is thinking of getting murried to a girl who seems very unsuitable in my eyes. She is bnly 19, is very frivolous, but she is very beautiful and fascinating, and she has one admirable trait, a big heart. Do you think that after marriage this girl will quiet down and become serious-minded? What can T do? My son is infatuated with her and will not listen to anything I say. MRS. F. 0. B Answer: If the girl has a big heart and loves vour son he can make of her anything he will. It is the little, mean-souled women, Who never think of anything but themselves, who are hopeless T think thal the grestest asset that a minister's wife can possibly have is a gay and jovous spirit. Heaven knows, she needs it, and she also needs to have a funnybone the size of 2 telephone post. For the lot of the clergyman’s wife is one in which & woman must either laugh or c and it i better to be able to Jaugh over one's troubles than to weep She must be able to make a joke of poverty, for most preachers are sadly underpaid.

JDFEAR MISS DIX—I am engaged to a young man who says he loves me, but that he does not believe in making a fuss over a person. He thinks that any outward sign of tenderness or affection or sympathy is silly and babyish. T don’t want anvbody hanging around my neck all the time, but I certainly don't think that a man has much love in him if he can't show it at all Certainly 1 can't understand « man not showing a little tenderness to the girl he is engaged to. Can you? SALLY. Answer: I surely can't, Sally, and I should think that such a clam-on. ice would make & highly undesirable husband. He should not marry a really human girl, with a natural human longing for affection, but should wait until he finds another frozen proposition like himselr. quiet vour light-hearted girl and don't be The greatest 1 do not believe that any woman can be happy or contented with a tusband who never shows her any affection, who never pets her, or caresses her, or pays her a compliment. ~These things are the breath of life to & woran. They are the pay that & wife gets for the work and sacrifices that she makes for her husband. They are what makes marriage worth while, and if they are withheld she fecls cheated and defrauded and resentful. The cold men say they love. You have to take their word for it, because they give no visible proof. Perhaps they tell the truth, but what is the £ood of having money in the bank if there is no possible way of drawing a single cent of it out and buying with it any of the things you want? You might dle of starvation if you couldn’t cash a check, and many a woman magried to « cold man perishes of heart hunger. Myself, T take no stock in the theory that cold, undemonstrative people I think they do not show their affection because they have no affection to show. Their hearts are as empty of love as an empty vault is of money. lce water instend of hot, red blocd runs in their veins. For when we love we just naturally desire to tell the beloved one all about it and to kiss and caress the dear one. That is nature, and there is no going behind the evidence. DOROTHY DIX. tove (Coprright, 1925.) BEDTIME STORIE sat up for a look around while he chewed the last mouthful of sweet clover Peter Rabbit jumped over the wall at a low place. He jumped over not far from where Reddy Fox lay behind the apple tree and hurried to join Johnny Chuck. Reddy didn't wait for Peter to look around. He sprang out from behind that tres and was after Peter before Peter had a chance even to say good-morning to Johnny Chuck. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS Peter’s Only Chance. Que chance is quite enough if you ol w 0. Decide aright just what to do, Peter Rabbit had formed the habit of dropping around by the new home of Johnny and Polly Chuck very often. He liked to gossip a bit with Johnny Chuck. Then, too, he liked the Old Orchard. There was always something of interest going on there. Mr. and Mrs, Hews was coming to see pop and ma last nite, pop saving.

Right to easily do £0 he ran over where the Chucks were now lving. Now no one can do a thing over and over again for very long without having some one find it out. Reddy Fox makes it hig business to find out the habits of his neighbors. Reddy says that the most useful knowledge Le possesses knowledge of the Fabits of others. It has filled his stomach’ more than once, and he knows that it will fill his stomach many times again. So the instant Reddy finds that one of his neighbors has done a certain thing more than once he keeps watch to see fi this is the beginning of & habit. So when, on two mornings in suc- cession, just after daylight, Reddy, from a distance, caught a glimpse of Peter going toward the corner of the 014 Orchard where Johnny and Polly Chuck had made their new home he began to do a little wondering. “I must look into this,” said Reddy to himself, very craftily. “I must look into this. Twice I have seen Peter Rabbit over there in the same place. 1 wonder if he is making & habit of visiting Johnny Chuck? If he is I want to know it. I may be able to corner that long-legged rascal at last.” This thought seemed to be a pleasant one, for Reddy smacked his lips two or three times. The following morning Reddy was hiding where he could see that corner of the old stone wall. Just after jolly, round, red Mr. Sun began his daily climb up in the blue, blue sky Peter Rabbit visited Johnny Chuck. Again the next morning it happened. Reddy grinned. 1t was a satisfied sort of grin—in fact, Reddy almost chuckled. On the following morning Reddy was up in the Old Orchard before daylight. Behind the trunk of an old apple tree he lay down. By peep- ing around it he could see the en- trance to Johnny Chuck's house with- out much chance of being seen him- self. Just after the Black Shadows left Johnny Chuck came out. He yawned, and then, after a look around, went straight to a patch of tender grass a1 1 clover only a few feet away from his doorstep and began to eat his breakfast. In a few minutes he was joined by Polly Chuck. Reddy watche ed them, but he didn’t try to catch them. In the first place, he knew that they would reach their house before he could catch one of them. In the second place, Johnny Chuck was t00 big. Reddy had a great deal of respect for Johnay's teeth and strength. So he merely waited and hoped. _ " Just as Johnny Chuck finished and is HE LIKED TO GOSSIP A BIT WITH JOHNNY CHUCK. along there the old stone wall was quite high and solid. There were no openings between the stones big enough for Peter to squeeze through. Peter had one chance, and only one He knew it. He didn’t hesitate a sec- ond.
