Shades of Violet seem to have strong appeal and the smart rench resorts the most fashionable raincoats were those of the new petunia shade or of a warm. luminous ivor: hat American women working toward the goal of cheerful rainy-day clothes may seen from the fact that a manutacturer of rubber raincoats re ports that at present the three most | popular shades with them are green, blue and red.

The flax fiber—the part used in making linen—is inside the more solld part of the plant, and it is a problem how to get the fiber sep- arated with the least fnjury to the ber. You have heard of ‘“‘retting’ tha flax? Well, “ret” simply means ‘to rot.” and that is exactly how it is done—fermentation is started and the solld plant is allowed to rot and fall away from the fiber, leaving its strength and color unimpaired.

It is a process which must be watched just as carefully as when the housewife is raising her bread dough—and like that, must not | be allowed to go too far, or to stop too soon. After the fibers are thoroughly { cleaned and separated from all pulp |and woody material they are “hack- |led” or combed. | combing is dome. A handful of the fibers is simply thrown over a fine- toother iron comb and pulled through | it several times. S sizes of combs are used, and in this way all the loose fihers and impurl. ties are combed out.

Do you ceasclessly point out to your children their father's good qualities? Do you hold their father up as a. hero before your children’s eyes? Do you teach your children to appreciate their father? K ~If you do not, not giving your husband a fair deal nor a run for his money. Fatherhood calls for Just as many sacrifices as motherhood does. The only coin in which these can be repald is affection and gratitude, and if he is defrauded of these he is poor indeed. 1S From the time the first baby is born the average man hecomes literally the slave of his family. e sells himself into bondage, so that his children may live soft: that they may have advantages that he never had in his youth; that they may enfoy luxuries he never knew. He works overtime and grows prematurely old and bent, that his boys may go to college and belong to smart clubs and have automobiles, and that his daughters may attend hionable schools, and dress like fashion plates, and go in the right circles. Tt is father who stays at home and works through hot Summers and cold . when the family goes to Europe or Palm Beach. It is father who wears the shabbiest clothes. It is father who has the worst room and the smallest closet space in the home.

But if his children indifferent and callous, if they take all that he has dome for them as no more than their due, and without even a “thank you,” if they see in him nothing but a shabby little man who hasn't been particularly successful as a money-maker, then all his lifework goes for nothing. His sacrifices are { without reward. He s bankrupt in h Nn\\‘ the attitude of chi n toward their father is almost entirely i determined by their mother, and whether they look upon him as a | superior being to be adored and worshiped, or merely as a cash register that they can punch whenever they want any money, depends altogether upon what she has taught them i There are women who teach their children to hate and fear their father by making him an ogre to them. When the children are bad the little culprits are always threatened with what their father will do to them. The mother thus makes the father the hanging judge who inflicts punishment on the small sinners Tn this way the mother fills the child’s imagination with a picture of its father as of some dread creature who is always lying in wait to chastise | him, and who could never have any sympathy or understanding with him, and with whom he could never have any possible companionship. “I'll tell your father on you when he comes home,” is the curse that millions of women lay between their children and their husbands, and that seals the children’s hearts forever against the fathers who have given them their very life blood. | There are other women who teach their children to regard their fathers | simply as money-making machines that exist solely for their own use and | benetit What the children want they must have at any cost to father, and { mother undertakes to nag it out of him. The children see that mother has no | consideration for father and they grow up to have none. | She never tells them that thev must not even ask for something they | desire because business is bad and their father is harassed and worried about {money. She never tells them that they must stay at home and let father have | & litte trip, because he is sick and nerveworn. She lets them wring the last | penny out of him with no more feeling for him than if he were some sort of automatic device worked by her for supplying their desires and needs. Other women teach their children to despise their fathers by always eriticizing them and calling attention to their faults.

C, MONDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1925 HOME NOTES BY JENNY WREN. ) Face Masks, You can make up any number of face masks for yourself if you want to use a fairly strong astringent on your face, but the basis of all of them should be white of an egg. Such astrin- gents should be used to tighten sag- 8ing muscles around the mouth, wrinkles around the eyes and across the forehead, and large, coarse pores on the face. If the large pores are due to blackheads, the treatment must be varied a little, for the skin should not be shrunk over dirt; the pores, that is, should be made as clean as possible before being shrunk with tringents. 1f the face mask s used to tighten sagging muscles, the stuff should be put on and then you should lie down for 15 minutes. When you lie down, | you relax, and the lines smooth out of | the skin, at least to a great extent. | Also those muscles around the mouth | and chin which droop and make you | 1ook old do not droop so much when | You are flat on your back. If you can't lie down, of course the treat- {ment is still effective, only not so much s One very simple face mask is this: Empty the egg out of the shell, into one half of it put a teasponful of | water and run around the inside of the shell with your finger, mixing the water and what js left of the egg white. Scoop out as much white from the other half of the shell as your finger will take out and mix this too. Spread this over the face. Or beat up the white of a medium- sized egy with a tablespoonful of vin- egar, one of water and as much pow- dered camphor and powdered alum as will go, each, on a 10 cent plece. This is a very strong astringent so you must cleanse the skin with cold cream, wipe off and then rub on only a little. Leave for 20 minutes. Jessie T.—Many women keep super- fluous hair from disfiguring them by using the tweezers every time a coarse hair begins to show above the skin. Pole screens today are regarded purely in the light of decorative acces- sorfes, but in the courtly days of the eighteenth century fine ladles and gen- tlemen considered them an ald to beauty.

The screens were often of solid wood deco- rated with palnted flowers; others were like wooden - backed picture frames. hese latter are more sought | after today, as they afford an oppor tunity to mount an interesting old print, a sampler, a bit of needlepoint, | or a motif cut from wallpaper or some | oddly patterned fabric as the fancy dictates.
