The vogue for mannish clothes continues. | Whether you like it or not, you will | have to accept the facts. Such are | the comments of this observer. i True in a measure. Women's clothes have become mors comfortable | and wearable, but that is not neces- sarily more masculine | In" the seventeenth century men | wore long hair and tightiv-laced clothes. Their clothes were in truth much more “feminine” than anything that women of this generation have worn. And yet records of those gay old days clearly show that there was nothing the least feminine or un- masculine in the nature of the men who wore those clothes. Men appar- ently were the first who broke away from the old traditions. True, our clothes are becoming' more cemfort- able, but not necessarily more mascu- line. shingled their hair, N'S- ‘PAGE. on Mannish Suits Then there is another thing.

Our Children— By Angelo Patri Our List of Leaflets. One of the dificulties that:arise be- tween half-grown children and their parents is the claims of parents. “You ars my child. Of course, vou will do exactly what T tell you.” That will never work out. Children do not belong to_their parents in a property sense. They must have per- zonal freedom that they may Know &niritual freedom by which their souls are saved. Nor are children invest- ments upon which parents may hope 1o reap returns. Children are re- sponsibilities for which their parents asked. They must be accepted and treated in that light. Whatever of joy and comfort they bring as the vears go by is so much pure gain wrested from life. Children really owe us little. It is we who owe them. When the child grows Into vouth, end shows his desire to go a road strange and fearful to his parents, the strain must not be drawn to the break- ing point. Say what vou feel in your heart, but say it in kindness, without bitterness, without threats. Neve Non value the relationship between Jou, say to a girl or a boy: “You'rs a fool, and if you defy me in this you need never darken my dogr again.” The child may take yvou at Your word. Leave the door oper, whatever hap- yens. The child may be mistaken. He may be headed for all kinds of trouble and be blind and deaf to all your well thought-out plans: he may be way- ward and sinful, but his life is his own and he must live it and bear the heavieat end of the consequent load. 1 8 true none of us can suffer alone. 'he wrong we do returns to harry all that are near and dear. When the children suffer we sorrow with them, &nd the pain is easier to bear if we can ciam hands over it. Love between parents and children doas not thrive upen grudging. The more one gives to the other, the fuller the return to both. Any mother who has given herself to her children with- out thought of return cen tell you t ‘Our Henry wants to go to college. i'm against it. 1 tell his father if ever we are to get any help from him it is now, before he gets married.- Once he gotn away by himself, he's not going *o he much good to us.’ said_the the Spots!

W, "0 03 p grudging mother. “When you think of @l we have gone through to bring him 8o far and no return for it—well, I think it's time he went to work and helped his parents a Nttle."” His parents didn't need Henry's help. They needed far more to have a bose well fitted for the place he in- ided to fill; a boy who felt that his ather and mother loved him and be lieved in him, and were backing their faith with their strength and their money. They needed that jnfluence in their dafly living far more than Henry needed the college course. Love has to be fed on service, and that works both ways. There comes a time in the life of most families when the children tend to pull away from home. That is right. ‘They ought to do so. It was for that purpose they were born into the world ~t0 go out and live a life wholly their own and devoted to a purpose all their own. But they can do that and they will do it, anl still stay very close to home if the home folks gave them life without grudging.

San Martin, In 1820 came to the assistance of the révolutionists skainst the strongest of Spanith South Am- erican governments. The flag which he provided for the proposed new gov ernment was a quadrilateral, having two triangles of red and two of white. 1t was this flag which he held in his right hand when. in the -old capital city of Lima. on July 28, 1821, he de- clared the {ndependence of Peru “by the will of the people and the justness of its cause, which God defends.” The anniversary of this date is'the great national flag day of Peru. In a flag of three stripes instead of triangles, the same colors were carried by the patriot army under Bolivar dnd Suere. which won the famous battle of Ayacucho on Decem- beg 9. 1824, This “battle above the clouds,” fought at an altitude‘of over 11,000 feet, not only decided the fate of Peru, but was the decisive battle of all the wars for independence, and broke the power of Spain in South America. : The stripes of the Avacucho flag in different position and the red and white of both provisional flags were retained in the present flag design adopted by the Peruvian National Congress, February 25, 18: (Consrieht Stew With Fresh Lima Beans.
