WOMAN’ Butterfly Needlework Patterns BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. BUTTERFLIES ARE FAVORITE MOTIFS EMBODIMENT OF AND THIS ONE IS THE TIONALIZED DESIGN Butterflies have been favorite mo- t for needlework patterns for c turies. In far-off centuries the Chi- nese used this dainty little fluttering insect with its gorgeous wings as a motif to be wrought with painstaking care into borders or rugs. These de- signs are frequently so conventional- ized that one not familiar with rug motifs would scarcely recognize them as the lithesome creatures that seem to float on the wings of “the wind through meadows and flelds. Some- times the motifs are mere outlines and again the contours are carried out in solid colors, but they are never given the realism found in silken em- broideries. 1t is when needlework assumes the beauty of brilliant colors blended to- gether in one unbroken mass of deli- cate stitches that the true splendor of butterfiies’ wings in actual hues can be imitated. ,To do such embroidery is a work to take the skill of the fin- est needlewoman, and one that may well baffle the amateur embroidery worker. Not only must stitches be true and of the finest, but color har- monles must be appreciated in all their delicacy of melting shades that drift from one hue to another. Also the needlewomian must know just when to strike the note of sharp con- trast seen in the mottling of butter- flies. One of these winged creatures, done with absolute accuracy in threads of finest sjlk, is a work that any embroiderer may well be proud to have to her credit. Beauty Caught in Meshes. It is when the witchery of the butterfly wings is caught in the meshes of filet crochet that its flicker- ing qualities are transmuted without any trace of color.

But with all this scrat¢hing he couldn’t scratch a sin- gle good excuse into that funny head, of his. He was so occupied that he failed to sée or hear any one ap- proaching, with the result that he was startled into making a long jump by a voice close tq him. “‘Oh, Peter,” said the voice, “I have such a wonderful surprise for you!" It was little Mrs. Peter. “What's that? said Peter, who thought there must be something wrong with his ears because Mrs. Peter had spoken so pleasantly. “I said, Peter, that I have a won- derful surprise for you,” replied lit; tle Mrs. Peter. “Tt is the most won- derful surprise in all the Great World. uh!” exclaimed Peter. me surprise.’’ 1s, Peter.

Moreover, many who can crochet (and will be sure to work with evenness) can make filet crochet butterfies. These butterflies lend themselves delightfully to luncheon sets, towels, scarfs, vanity sets, dress- er and buffet covers, squares to insert in sheer curtains, for the tops of pil- low cushions in combination with linen strips or in alternate squares with fabric, etc. In fact, there are so many various uses to which the butterfly motif can be put that to enumerate all of them would be some- thing of & task. Choice Design. . The design that has been especially made for readers of this paper is the embodiment of grace. The care with which the wings have been developed, the body traced and the antennae in dicated leave nothing to be desired in the matter of lightness. The butterfly seems to float and drift through the interstices of the mesh. No color is required to make one realize its beauty. There is no doubt but others beside those who requested a butterfly design will be eager to include the motif among their collection of filet crochet designs. Patterns on Request. Any person sending a self-addressed and stamped envelope with a request may have one of these butterflies. Please direct to Lydia Le Baron Walk- er, care of this paper.

Come along and I'll show it to you,” replied Mrs. Peter, as she turned and led the way into the dear Old Briar Patch. bt Of course Peter followed. He was |50 surprised at not being scolded that he couldn’t think of anything else. | “She doesn’'t seem to know that I've en away,” he muttered to himself. Now I wonder why. She acts Just as if she hadn’'t missed me. I'll have to look into this. Yes, sir, I'll have to look into this. If she hasn't been lonesome and missed me I want to know why. I don’t like it.” Could you have overheard Peter you would have thought him actually dis- appointed at not being scolded, and at not having to give an account of what he had been doing and where he had been. You would so. But little Mrs. Peter appeared not to notice that Peter was grumpy and a little out of sorts. She led the way to a certain place in the very heart of the dear Old Briar Patch. “Shh,” whispered little Mrs. Peter. “Don’'t make a noise, Peter.” Then she lifted a covering of dry grass, and there in a snug and comfortable nest lined with fur from her own breast lay six little pink babies with their eves tightly closed, not a sign of a fur coat on them. | “Aren't %hey perfectly lovely, Pe- |ter?” sighed little Mrs. Peter. “Aren't they the loveliest babies you ever saw? I'm 30 proud of them I don't know what to do. Aren’t you proud of them, Peter?” Now what could Peter say? His |honest cpinion was that they were |the homeliest babies he had ever laid his eves on. But he knew it wouldn't do to say so. Goodness no. What do ou think he did say? He said, ‘Whose are they, my dear?” “Why they are yours; yours and |mine, “stupid!” replied little Mrs. Peter. “Aren't they just too lovely {for anything?” “They must be, my dear, as long as they are yours,” replied Mr. Peter, Which, when you think of it, was a very clever thing for him to say. i (Copyright. 1925, by T.

She has bobbed hair. Her face s caleimined with paint and powder. She wears next to no clothes, and she §ogs abeut all day long with a Jazz tune on her lips and a dance step in alk. ~When you ask her a sane question, she answers: ‘Well, T should kiss & bee's knee' or ‘Isn’t that the snake's hips? or something just as meaningless. “Sometimes I think I can see some good in Gloria. Sometimes I think that T could love her, but I don’t know whether to trust her as a house- keeper for my boy or not. ¥ ¥ corp; Gloria is wild to marry Charles. She thinks it would be such a thrill, Nothing in life without a thrill to it interests her. But I am wondering if ghe will find married life as thrilling in 1935 and 1945 as she thinks it will be in 1925, And what will she do when she finds that matrimony is more duty than thrills, anyway? ..'T am not one of the doting mothers who think it is a duty to pick a son’s wife for him, but if a flapper wife isn't safe for a good boy, I want to know about it now, before it is too late. “Will you tell me? Is a flapper wife a safe investment for a boy to make?" Tll:mc is no sure thing in matrimony. There is no prophet with a sufficiently inspired vision to foretell what kind of a wife any woman will make. When a man marries he literally pays his money, and takes his chance, and the results ars on the knees of the gods. ' Matrimony has always been the greatest gamble on earth, and nobody Will deny that its risks are greater today than they ever were before. They T R {have been jazzed up, so to speak, and that 18 why mothers and fathers contemplating the flappers and the cake-eaters that their sons and daughters are about to wed wonder if they have even a hundred-to-one shot at happiness and if anything short of a miracle can keep them off the matrimonial rocks. Certainly no one can blame a mother for fearing to trust her darling boy's digestion, that she has always so carefuly: guarded, to a girl who has not even a bowing acquaintance with the gas range, and whose idea of a perfectly balanced meal is a cocktail, a cigarette and a caviar sandwich. Nor can you wonder that mother gets cold feet when she apprehends what a girl who spends every cent she can get her hands upon on her back will do to her son's pocketbook. . Neither can you wonder that mother's heart quails within her as she tries to forecast the kind of dance a cabaret-mad, pleasure-mad, speed-mad girl may lead her son through the years of matrimony. For, on the face of it, the flapper has none of the qualities that fit her to be a good wife. She krows nothing of domesticity. She recognizes no law but her own sweet will. Her one aim in life 1s to have a good time. She is idle, extravagant, selfish. She has no ideal of duty. She considers all the old wifely virtues of patience, self-sacrifice and self-abnegation as passe as hoop skirts. And she frankly marries with one eye on the altar and the other on the divorce court Bl"l‘ the situation is not so desperate as it appears, nor is the flapper a red as she is painted. Somewhere in her little attenuated body there still beats a heart. Under the bobbed hair there is an unsuspected brain, and often there even remain the rudiments of a moral sense that has been atrophied, but not killed, by kissing and necking and petting parties. So it not infrequently happens that after marriage the flapper does a lightning-change act. and becomes a sensible and helpful wife. Having had all the gay times she wants, she is ready to settle down to the serious busine: of life. Certainly we have all seen frivolous girls turn sedate as soon as they married; jazzy girls, who danced their slippers off their feet every night, and who never thought it was late until it was early, turn into home bodies who didn’t even care to g0 to the movies. We have seen joyriding girls pushing perambulators, and extravagant ones turn stingy when it was their own money they had to spend. So there is no telling which way a flapper is going to flap after marriage. Other times, other manners. Perhaps the flapper, just because she is hard-boiled, is better fitted to cope with men than the old-fashioned, soft, sentimental woman. Perhaps just because she won't stand any sidestepping on the part of her husband, she will hold her husband up to the mark and make him a better husband than his father was. Vo one can tell what sort of a wife a flapper will make, but she is the kind of a wife the mdliern young man seems to want. And his mother will have to let it go at that. DOROTHY DIX.

But the mill of research grinds on— let the chips fall where they may! What disillusionment to the bearers of the titles to learn that a “lord,” from the Anglo-Saxon “hlaford,” was orig- inally simply “keeper of the loaf.” ‘hlaford” meaning literally ‘bread keeper.” And since the original lord of the manor fed his tenants at his or from his hoard, since he was their only source of supply, the namo was not inappropriate. “Lady,” too, it 18 interesting to note, has a similar derivation—the ‘“giver of the loaf” ‘or e CCopriTht. 1028y “ n‘m—ummm A‘ D. C, MONDAY, JUNE 8 1925 What TomorrowMeans to You BY MARY BLAKE. The favorable planetary aspects that prevall toward the latter part of today continue, with unabated force, tomorrow, and the signs de- note, with a clearness that cannot be mistaken, that coaditions will pre- vail which will not only incite to ex- ceptional effort, but give the neces- sary courage to’ “carry on” to a suc- cessful end. Everything related to business or the home is exceptionally favored, and, without fear or trepida- tion, you can put your shoulder to the wheei and accomplish something reallyy worth while. 1f you have been hesitating about making a dec- laration of love, or have been longing to receive one, the signs denote that you will be urged to make the one, and destined to be offered the latter. An exceptionally healthy infancy, but a serious illness during adoles: cence, with finally a vigorous matur- ity, is, according to all indications, the fate of a child born tomorrow. In order to guard against the dangers of the predicted {liness, this child should, at the indicated period, be restrained from excessive o° violert exercise. Temperamentally, this off- spring of yours will be extremels in- trospective, and always disposed to take too serious a view of things in general, and of its own life and do- ings in particular. To offset this tendency, it should be encouraked, and, if necessary, forced to assoclate with others of a similar age. Those who celebrate the anniver- sary of their birthday tomorrow are, in character, strong-willed and deter- mined, while in disposition they are affable and quite able at all times to stand their own ground without giv- ing or causing offense. Their powers of concentration are exceptional, while their persistency never allows them to “give up™ until the goal is attained. Not only are they inherently capable of handling big problems, but they possess a wonderful capacity for de- tails, no matter how insignificant or trivial they may appear to be. They dre commerciaily practical without any artistic tendencies and with very litlle sense of humor and are emi- nently qualified to fill any position that calls for high executive ability. They rightly enjoy much popularity in their own fmmediate circle, as they have dispositions that are generous, kind and affectionate, and are not only intelligent, but entertaining. Well known persons born on this date: Samuel Slater, cotton manufac- turer; Sylvanus Thayer, soldier; Sam- uel L. Southard, latesman: John Howard Payne, actor and poet; Rich- ard W. Thompson, lawyer and judge; Francis M. Finch, jurist and poet. Why people persist in buying over- grown davenports for small and me- dium sized rooms when there are trig little sofas to be had at such low price is a mystery! A big, overstuffed davenport make all but the largest rooms will em overcrowded and weigh on the spirit like a too heavy meal. The little sofa, on the other hand, can be as demure or as cheerfully gay as the fancy dictates—and never ob- trude. It can be slipped into a cover of black sateen with discreet-pipings of cld blue, or it can be so brightly frocked in cretonne hollyhocks, lark- ur and roses that it seems about to spread its brief ruffled skirts and dance. And certainly It is just as com- fortable as the fat and phlegmatic davenport Color Cut-Out ALADDIN'S LAMP.

FRO among the new things shown by French dressmakers in their late Win ter collections, and they were seen at American Winter resorts in the South Care of the Hair. Neglect of the hair in youth may not be immediately harmful, for the hair and the whole body have reserve strength and quick recuperative pow ers. But as one tality of the body ishes, and with it the vitality of the bair. The better it is cared for in youth, the greater the chances of good health later on. There are certain things to be done every day. One is a thorough brush- ing, preferably with a thick bristled, long bristled brush. Such a brush not only massages the scalp by the hair of a great deal of dust. So it is most_effective at night. And even if the hair is bobbed quite short. the brushing should be given, for short hair seems to catch more dirt than long, possibly because it blows around more. Another dally treatment is a very quick, very vigorous massage of the scalp with the finger tips, to keep it “loose,” to stimulate the blood. This need not take more than half a min- ute or a minute. Clipping the hair, which prevents split ends and a great deal more rious trouble, is best done every six weeks or so, before a Color Suggestions. “Is our garden going to be made up of real old-fashioned flower beds with all the colors massed together or is it going to be planned according to a color scheme?” I asked. “There is no objection and much fashioned flower beds of 3 said Mr. Burbank, “pro- vided certain unharmonious colors are {kept out of it or separated by foliage and groups of white flowers.” “Among these are magenta and many shades of red, scarlet and crim- son that clash with the more delicate shades of pink or lavender, and which make too much noise when planted with yellow and orange flowers.” “It is quite a study to arrange col- ors harmoniously in a border or a small garden and to consider at the same time the seasons and succession of bloom, {sn't it!" I remarked. “All successful gardening requires thought and study,” answered Mr. Burbank, “but the results will repay the time, thought and work. “First, we must study the seasons and from the plants selected for the garden make one list for the Spring blooming plants and another of the Summer bloomers and a third of those that bloom late in the summer and in the Autumn, and this would include the shrubs bearing Winter berries. “This list gnust be determined first so0 as to have a succession of bloom MOTHERS Summer Cold Prevention. One mother says: Summer colds are extremely dan- gerous to bables. Very bad colds may be caught from a slight cold con- tracted by the mother” A mother may, however, nurse her baby eafely if she makes a gauze mask of four to six thicknesses to cover her nose and mouth. The ‘mask should be boiled every day and should be worn when paring baby's food if he is not ing nursed. The hands, of course, should be thoroughly scrubbed before touching baby or anything that will come in co: with him. : e 10952 friction of the bristles but it rids the | BEAUTY CHATS White Cloth Coat Summer Choice BY MARY MARSHAL Where the trend of American Summer fashions is usually forecast. But no one could have foreseen then the ex tent of their present appeal to well- dressed women. One reason for their appeal to the conservative woman of good taste is that & coat of this description can be worn correctly for a topeoat over a sport frock with sport accessorles or as a covering for the dainty afternoon frock. For informal evening wear in Summer such a coat I8 also appro- priate The sketch shows a white flannel coat worn over a white crepe de chine sport frock. A green tie finishes the frock and a green flower gives dis tinction to the jaunty white cane car ried as an accessory. Green and white checkered lisle sport stockings further add a touch of verdancy to the ensemble. Flannel is a favorite material for the white coats, but they are also found in silk crepes and faille as well as in white kasha, cheviot, twill and other ribbed woolen materials. There are, to be sure, white coats with the wide banding of fur around the hem that is o characteristic of coats this season, but a large proportion of these coats are of a too severely tailored species to permit this. One young woman who is known among her friends as quite expert at keeping a very complete wardrobe on what the women's magazine editors politely call a “limited income” con siders the white coat a decidedly good investment. To be sure, she agrees it may be a passing fad, out of stvla by another Sumer, but at small cost the white coat can be dyed in another r to play quite a different role in next Summer’s wardrobe.
