Bags With Filet MARY WOMAN'S PAGE BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. and Cross-Stiich o ANG R LINE. WA LR E R SMART BAGS EMPLOYING FILET INITIALS CAN CONTRASTING COLORS. Those who are watching for the flet alphabet and whose initials occur in the latter part of it will be gratified to see that it has progressed as far as “R 8." Many will be able to use the picture as a guide in duplicating the letters in thread. For the benefit of those who are dependent upon written directions, let me say that those will be available after the final letter of the alphabet has appeared and announcoment has been made in »this department. So many uses for filet have already been discussed that it would almost &eem that nothing more could be said on the subject. But there are many mors and some quite as interesting as those which have already been given attention. Novel Uses. Filet crochet is apt to be associated with white or ecru cotton or linen thread. But there is no reason why it should be eolely confined to it. It is effective even in such materials as jute and burlap. For sport wear these are very desirable. As a central decorative motif In a light bag or other accessory for Summer or Win- ter use, it may be worked up in dark thread. The outlines of the initlals will stand out in sharp relief if the filet squares are backed with white. The effect is of smartness rather than of daintiness. Filet done in this man- ner takes on a distinct character of its own. The bag or other accessories may be edged with a picot in black. This is ‘very effective when an oyster-white very heavy linen {s used. It reminds one of those fashionable treatments of black and white in_embroidery that come from Spain. The edge may be done in & cross-stitch if desired: Buzzard’s Secret. Trust only those who are asleen With secrets which you fain would keep. —O0ld ‘Mother Nature. Ol' Mistah Buzzard's secret began when he first came up from the Sunny South in the Spring. OI' Mistah Buzzard brought some one with him. Yes, sir, O' Mistah Buz- sard brought some one with him. No one knew it at the time because no one happened to see him when he arrived in the Green Forest at his favorite tall, dead tree. The fact that he had brought seme one with him was the beginning of “MAH DEAR, MEET PETER RABBIT.” his secret. Of course. that part of his secret wasn't kept very long. Peter Rabbitt never will forget his surprise when he discovered the first part of this secret. It had happened that that Spring morning Peter had failed to go home to the dear Old Briar-patch. So he had made himself comfortable over in the Green Forest and planned to epend the day there near the tall dead tree which Ol' Mistah Buzzard uses as his favorite perch. Peter, having been out all night, was sleepy, and he was soon dozing. He was hidden under some tall ferns. He felt quite safe there. Otherwise he wouldn't have been so careless as to doze. From time to time he would awaken just enough to open his eyes and peep out through the ferns. From where he sat he could look right up to the very top of the tall dead tree which was known as OI' Mistah Bumgard's tree. It had only two or three stub’s of old branches. ‘When Peter awoke after his first nap ! and peeped out, no one was on that tree of OI' Mistah Buzzard's. But the second time he awoke and peeped out, there on his favorite perch sat Ol Mistah Buzzard himself. He had ar- rived from his Winter in the Sunny South while Peter was napping. Peter was tempted to run right over to the foot of that tree and tell OI' Mistah Buzzard how glad he was to see him. But Peter was still very, very sleepy. He knew Ol' Mistah Buzzard's habits £0 well that he was sure Ol' Mistah Buzzard would spend a good part of the day sitting on that favorite perch. ' Aistab Buzzard would certainly BEDTIME STORIES BE WORKED IN For the needlewoman who prefers cross-stitch to crochet, the following suggestion is made: Baste the canvas squares over the area to bear the in- itials, and follow the picture. The same’ black and white treatment is recommended. Black wool or worsted | 1s striking on a white linen, flannel or homespun goods. Be very sure that the black thread or worsted is of a fast color. It would be sad indeed to have vour handiwork ruined by the first washing. Variation. A variation of the cross-stitch may be used in the border. In making the upper or lower stitch, skip a square. This elongates your stitch and widens your border. If you would have it appear to be more accented than the ordinary cross-stitch makes it, this is the way to do ft. Color. If you desire to introduce color, here is a novel way to do it either in crochet or crossstitch: Baste a_nar- Tow strip of colored goods or ribbon near edge, leaving a margin. It would be narrower than the width of cross- stitch or crochet. Cross-stitch over the colored goods. Or crochet a loose stitch in black which catches above the ribbon, crosses at a slant, catches below it, slants away to upper edge, takes a single crochet above, and so on. The ribbon or other goods will appear to be run in under the work. For Evening. Bags for evening use may be made in this manner to match the gowns with which they are to be carried. It is very desirable that the bags in which opera glasses are carried bear initials of the owner. Either in mon- ogram or fllet they are suitablé. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS iwa_m a rest after his long journey. | “I'll finish my nap. Afterward I'll go | pay my respects to O' Mr. Buzzard. He ought to have a lot of news about the folks down in the Sunny South,” sald Peter to himself. So Peter closed his eyes and dozed off again. When he opened them the next time there sat Ol' Mistah Buzzard just where he had expected to see him. Peter was | still sleepy. He tipped back his head to yawn.. In doing this he looked stralght up in the blue, blue sky. There sailing 'round and ‘round in circles was some one Peter would have said certainly was Ol' Mistah Buzzard if he hadn't known that OI' Mistah Buzzard was sitting on that tree. Hastily Peter looked back at that tree. ‘Fhere sat OI' Mistah Buz- zard. There wasn't any doubt about it. Again he tipped his head back and looked up in the blue, blue sky. Then he blinked. But all the blink- ing in the world wouldn't do away with that Buzzard sailing ‘round and ound high up in the blue, blue sky. “Now how can Ol' Mistah Buzzard be sitting in that tree and still, be fiving 'round and ‘round high up in the blue, blue sky at the same time?" muttered Peter, and by this time he was very much awake. Just as he wiis making ready to hop over to the foot of the tree where Ol' Mistah Buzzard was sitting, he once more glanced up in the sky. That Buzzard up there was coming down. So Peter waited. In a few moments there were two Buzzards on that tree instead of one. Peter hopped out from his hiding place and over to the foot of the uzzard tree. “Good mo'ning, Peter,” said Ol' Mistah Buzzard, “Ah want yo' to meet Ol Mrs. Buzzard. Ah done bring her up from the Sunny South to meet mah friends up no'th. {Mah dear, meet Peter Rabbitt." Ol' Mrs. Buzzard, who looked almost exactly like OI' Mistah Buzzard, looked down at Peter and gravely bobbed her 1head. Peter gravely bobbed in return. 1 So it was that he became acquainted with the beginning of OI' Mistah Buzzard's secret. What that secret really was I'll tell you later. I'd never change pluces with anyone ‘else No matter how sad I mi%i\: be, And that’s a good thing because no one Im sure Would ever change places with me. rrom | Me and pop was taking a wawk and we sat down in the square to sit down and some man was sitting on another bentch and pop sed, Yee gods tha Bert Rifken, I hope and trust and pray that he duzzent see me. Wy, pop, wy? I sed. Do you owe him enything? I sed, and pop sed, Certeny not, is that the kind of an opinion you have of me? No sir, only I thawt maybe you mite, T sed, Wy do you hope he wont see you then, pop? I sed, and pop sed, Because I dispize his caracter and T dont think it would do me eny good to assoctate with him. 7y, pop, wat does he do? I sed, and pop sed, Well, I dont know for sure, in fact I never herd enything’ directly agenst him, but meerly judging from my impression of his generel caracter- istics, sutch as his face, I should say that he borrows money with no ideer of reterning it, spreds slander about honest peeple sutch as your father, eats peas with a nife, shines his shoes with the guest towels wen he goes call- ing on respectable families sutch as yours, picks pockits in crowded trolley cars, wawks out of resterants with the rong hat and coat, and other little things like that. And pop took a clar out of his vest pockit and started to feel in his other pockits, saying, The dooce, confound it, not a single solitary match and your poor old father wiil cerl up and pass away unless he immeeditly fills his nose and throat with tobacco smoke, and theres not a sole in site I can get a lite from. Wich jest then the man on the other bentch litt a cigarett, pop saying, Cir- cumstances alter cases, heer goes. And he wawked over to the other bentch saying. Well, well, is that you, Rifken, how long have you bin sitting heer, lets have a lite, will you? And pop and him sat there smoking and tawking about diffrent things for about a hour, and then me and pop started to wawk home, pop saying, That berd's not a bad guy after all, it jest goes to show you never reely know your fellow creetures till the iron hand of necessity draws you to. gether. .

He traveled with a.crowd too swift, which caused him grievous losses; he stealthily began to lift the coln that was his boss's. Of course he knew that this was wrong, but he was smooth and clever, and he'd put back the coin ere long, and then go_straight forever. And now we see him in the jail, his projects in abatement; “I've been a fool,” we hear him wall, and we indorse his statement. So often men don’t realize the wildness of their folly until in jail they swat the flies, in woe and melan- choly. And then, their lives re- duced to wreck, their folly, as they view it, seems monstrous, and they cry, “By heck, what demon made us do 182" All lads are fools who leave the road of honest men and steady; for them the harpoon and the goad of Nemesis are ready.

C., MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21 =i\ DorothyDix]* 5+ ““The Chronic Arguer, the Egotist, the Whiner, the . Suggester and the Repeater Are Prominent Members of the Bore Family.” WHO are the five greatest bores in the world? Each of us has an individual list of those who slay us with the jawbone of an a: I head mine with the chronlc arguer. . To him, for the arguer is nearly always of the male persuasion, any subject is as good for a controversy as a nickel is for a ginger cake. You can't remark that it is a pleasant day without his disputing it and hurling upon you an avalanche of statistics to prove that the mean temperature is something or other when it should be something else. If you say you like a play or a book, you are promptly told that you know nothing of drama and have no taste in literature. If you make any plan, the arguer pounces upon it and tears It into shreds. If you find any one charming or any place delightful, he can see no good In them, and he never rests until he drags forth every possible fault that they may possess. In religion and politics he-is always on the other side, and no matter what you say you always start something. In soclety the arguer is a bore of the 10-inch auger variety. He is a mustard plaster on the bosom of friendship, and as a husband he is first aid to divorce. LRI NF‘XT to the arguer in the line of bqres I place the egotists. Both male and female He created them, and endowed them with an unshakable bellef that the balance of their fellow creatures are just hungering and thirsting to hear every detail of their private lives and every single, solitary thing about their wives, and husbands, and children, and cooks, and houses, und automobiles. They tell you.by the hour what “I said,” and “she said,” and “they said” about the most trivial matt They tell you the wonderful things they have accomplished and the marvels they are going to do. They buttonhole you while they gepeat to you the infantile witticisms of the baby, and recount to you the doings of school girls and boys. They fix you with their glittering eyes while they maunder on and on and on about Johnny having made the foot ball team at prep, and how many beaux Mamie has, and they can spend a perfectly happy two hours giving you all the arguments pro and con that preceded the bobbing of Sally’s hair. Surely God will forgive many sins to us who listen with patience while the egotists tell us all about themselves. “ e e . EXT to the egotists I put the whiners. They come and camp on your living room chairs and bedew you with their tears while they tell you their hard-luck stories. It makes you tired just to look at them. Thelr faces are sagged down, their shoulders a1’ slumped. Their clothes always stand in need ot soap and water and a good hot iron, and you couldn’t buck them up with a joit of electricity and a million dollar: For the whiners are never so happy as when they are most miserable, and the greatest pleasure they have is in broadcasting their secret sorrows. So they come and tell you how brutal thelr husbands are, and how their wives don’t understand them, and what mean, ungrateful children they have, and how the world has been against them so that their genius has never been appreciated, and how cruel it is that they cannot have everything that millionatres have, and what a great and distinguished man their great-great- uncle was, and that they never expected to have to come down to working for a living. The whiners consider that they have come to the end of a perfect day when they have superimposed their woes on all whom they have met, and it never occurs to them that other people have troubles of their own that they have enough courage to keep hlddsn :n their own hearts. . THE fourth among the headliners in the bore family is the suggester. This is a domestic brand of the species, and there are few households that are not afflicted with one. The suggester is a tireless little worker who is ever on the job, and you cannot make the slightest move from saying your prayers to putting a stamp on a letter that he or she, and it is generally a she, isn't right there with a few helpful hints. If You are going to buy a hat, she wants to know why you don't buy black instead of green? If you are getting a frock, she wants to know why you don't get a silk one instead of a woolen one, why you don't get it ready- made instead of having a dressmaker make it and why you don't get it at Brown's instead of Smith’s. If you are building a house, she wants to know why you chose the lot you did Instead of some other; why you are having stucco instead of brick and why you don't do every single thing differently from the way you are doing it. If you are going to Europe, she wants to know why you don't see America first; and if you are going to travel in the States, she suggests Europe. You can’t go down the street that she doesn't gsk why you didn't walk on the other side. You can't eat, or sleep, or marty, or stay single, or go out, or come in without her suggesting that you do the opposite thing. ‘The answer to the problem of why children leave home and men become wife deserters is the suggester. R i LAST. but not least, is the repeater. This is chiefly a household pest, although it also flourishes abroad, but it is in the family circle that it gets in its most deadly work. The repeater not only tells you the same story over a thousand times and makes exactly the same remarks under the same circumstances every day of his or her life, but he or she recounts to you every item of news in the dally paper. which you have already read, and repeats the jokes in the humorous magazines. Furthermore, the repeater is addicted to the vicious habit of reading aloud, which is the unforgivable sin. ‘When you contemplate the sufferings of innocent and helpless families at the hands of the repeater you can but marvel that patricide and fratricide are such rare crimes. 1 often wonder to which one of these classes of bores I belong.

SUB ROSA BY MIMI Insipid Isabelle. s The most dreadful example of an Insipid Isabelle that has ever come to my notice is that of a sweet young thing who went with a party of friends to see the Grand Canyon. The little group stood in awed lence, marveling at the majesty and wonder of the view before them, but little Isabelle was not to be silenced. She felt that it was her turn to say something, so she clasped her pretty white hands and exclaimed ecstati- call; e “Isn't it just too cute for anything" And by that remark she established herself as one of the most insipid of her sex. Insipid Isabelle is usually a colorless person—you never find her standing out in a crowd or attracting the atten- tion of many men. How can she at- tract them when her vocabulary 18 Um- ited to about three words— ? “Really?” and “You don’t say 80 With these three means of expres- sion she expects to conquer the world with her brilliance and charm, and she is amazed to find how singularly u succesaful is her social career. She is simply incapable of an original thought or a decided expression of opinfon. A feliow guest at a house party will moan that the weather is feally too bad for swimming, and she will mur- r: % T ¥es, tsn't t? Too bad we can’t have any swimming."” “But,” the fellow guest will con- tinue, “I think I'll chance it anyhow. Some people say that swimming in the rain is more sport than in fine weather. I think it might be pretty good fun, don’t you?” “Oh, yes,” Isabelle hastens to assure him, “it's lots more fun swimming in the rain. I think it's going to be just great. I'm =0 glad it's raining.” The first 20 times she pulls anything like this the man talking to her will think she's a nice, agreeable girl with a sensible head who has exactly the same ideas as his on all subjects. After that he will begin to realize that Isabelle is just a hollow echo of the last thing he's sald. It some one tells our heroine that there will be a big dance next Satur- she will day night at the casino, exclaim: : “Oh, really? You don't say so!” And if sHé 1s made acquainted with the news that another world war has started, her answer will be just as enthusiastic and excited as the above. Is it any wonder that boys give up in despair after a few hundred futile efforts to find out just what her gray matter is doing? + It's so easy to let your brain sleep and just mutter colorless, ineffectual responses to those about you. But it's not easy to get the habit of being Insipid and still retain your pop- ularity. You must have your own ideas, and you must have enaugh sirength of character to stick up for ‘hem once in a while. Also you must not use a set for. mula to reply, no matter what remark your friends may make. Keep your brain working, and you won't fall into the insipid class. (Copyright. 1925.)

Tomorrow’s planetary aspects are very different from those of toda: They are by no means excellent, but, on the other hand, they are neither adverse nor gloomy. It is a fair day for the commencement of an: thing that you may have in view. It s propitious for both change and travel. It is even more auspicious for the final consummation of any task on which you have been working for some time. The vibrations will re- act very favorably on your best emo- tions, and it will be advisable to allow them full sway, as by so doing you will bring happiness, not only to yourself, but to others. A child born tomorrow will give very litile worry, on physical grounds, during infancy. Just prior to adoles- cence, however, it will, in all prob- ability, suffer from an illness that will cause much anxfety. Diligent care wlll be required, and the signs denote that it will attain its ma- Jority successfully. Its character will be volatile and changeable. It will be resentful of discipline, and always show a strong desire to have its own way. Patlence and forbearance, combined with affection, will have a great _influence on the formation of this child’s character, and the guiding of_its impulses. If tomorrow is vour birthday, vou are sometimes a “dreamer. of dreams,” more imaginative than practical, and more impulsive than deliberative. You always decline to look hard facts in the face, and would rather count on hypothetical happenings than visualize grim results. You are, not gifted with perseverance. You formu- late many plans, few of which, are ever carried out. You are a builder, but the resultant edifices are air castles. You are, however, liked by one and all, as you are lovable, sweet- tempered and attractive, and will go far out of your way to render serv- ice or help. Your very impracti- cability delights others, “although it is disastrous for your individual prospects. Above all things, you need to cul- tivate self-reliance, rather than that abiding trust you have in others’ help and assistance. You must ac- quire perseverance, as the mere longing for something never gets you anywhere, and you must think more of results, and train yourself to a certain degree of foresight. ‘Well known persons born on_ this date are: Stephen D. Lee, soldier; Willlam K. Belknap, Secretary of ‘War; Theodore Winthrop, author and soldler; Joseph Seligman, banker; James Bowdoin, philanthropist and statesman. (Copyright. 1925.) i’arking With Peggy his idea of a real Am FEATU RES, Lace Looming for Autumn BY MARY MARSHALL. THE stage seems to be set for a evival of lace. The inevitable re- action has set in against the ex- tremely mannish clothes. Several of the most prominent of French dress- makers have taken a definite stand for feminine fashions. Skirts are be- VENETIAN TRIM THIS § BLACK SATIN. LAC MPLE coming fuller, bodies more closely molded. There are frills and flounces and furbelows. To be sure, some very smart women cling to the straight scant silhouette, and the boyish mode 18 by no means done for, but still there is an opportunity now to be extremely Thumbsucking. This very unpleasant habit starts in early. ‘The baby learns that he gets delight and comfort through sucking. He associates that process with the pleasantest experience of his young life. In time of stress, in loneliness. in pain, he seeks that com- fort. His soft wee thumb and pudgy hand comes as close to the remer bered joy as he can get and he starts sucking his thumb. You take it out and he promptly puts ‘it back. You persist and he shows every sign of anger. You slap his hands and he only yells the loud- er and the instant he is left in peace, in goes the thumb. Soon you notice that he is spoiling the shape of his mouth. If he continues past the time when he has teeth he pushes his teeth out of line. You put bad- tasting stuff on his hands, you tie them up, cajole and he calmly sucks his thumb. Putting bitter stuff on his thumb doesn’t help much. You see, he tastes bitterness with the back of his mouth. and he soon learns to see that it does not reach there. He sucks and lets the saliva run out of the corner of his mouth and so gets very little of the dose you meant him to have. And you do not dare put or wrathfully on enough to thoroughly dose him lest you upset his stomach. Then what can one do? We have never found anything to work better than sitting beside him and taking the thumb out each time he puts it in and ignoring his protests. The habit reaches down to his uncon- | sclous mind, back to the time when he was a dreaming infant feeding from the breast or the bottle. We have got to get the idea up to the |level of his consclous mind and treat it there. The only way we know to do this is to constantly remove the thumb from his mouth and say. “You are not a baby any more. You are a blg boy, or a big girl, and can drink your milk from a giass.” And teach him to drink from a cup or a glass just as soon as you can manage it. ~ Even drinking off the edge of a spoon will help. If the child can talk, he should be using his cup and glass and spoon and they will_aid. Then try to keep his hands busy with something to do. Putting clothes pins along the edge of a pan or a basket, stringing spools, putting akewers through spools and punching them hard on the floor is fine exer- cise and keeps 2-year-olds quite hap- pily employed. it is when his at- tention is unoccupied and he is idly dreaming that he will suck his thumb. Keep him conscious of what he is doing and he stops. This takes time. Month after month you will see ifttle change, but if you are persistently teaching it is forming underneath and by and by you will find that he does it less and PUTNAM FADELESS DYES Tint dainty athings any shade - you desire Keep yoursilk lingerie—delicate colored -:E, hosiery, trimmings, fres! and new looking by ocessional % in a solution of cold water with of Putnsm Dye.

Lace always seems, ments, most feminine. Doubtless this is because the modern man is never known to have even a suggestion of lace about his clothes. To be sure. of all adorn men—and the most manly among them—once wore even more lace than women. Perhaps wearing lace was once considered rather a mannish faghion. But now a, man who wore a lace-trimmed shir{ or underwear adorned even by the most sedate of lace edging would probably be barred from sane society. Another fact 'in favor of the re vival of lace in women's clothes s the renewed Interest in velvets Every one of the leading dressmakers is using velvet in abundance and lace is the time-honored afnity of this rich fabric There has been a departure from the old conventions in the new use of lace. Often it is dyed to some one of the clear vivid shades that are fa vored for evening—rose, apple green petunia and delphinum blue. Shades of biscult, blonde and light bois de rose are perhaps more usual, how ever. Chanel uses ecru lace and chif fon to match posed over a foundatia: of apricot. Black lace is used over flesh color by several of the smert dressmakers here and abroad. Much of the lace is of metal, silver and gold.
