The brighter the tones of your background the brighter may be the color of your frocks, your hats and your accessories. French women seem to have learned this little lesson of color better than we have. At a watering place in Midsummer they realize that colors cannot be too bright. But under the shadow of the city, where in general a colder light prevails, they prefer darker, more neutral colors. (Covyright. 1926.) 1 MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST. Baked Bananas. Farina with Cream.

Worrying won't gain a thing, But will only miscrs ring. —Peter Rabbit. Peter Rabbit is like that. 1 don't know of any one who does less wor ing than Peter Rabbit. He is happy go-lucky and leaves the worrying for others—for little Mrs. Peter, for in- stance. But mothers are born wor- riers. 1 suspect that some of them wouldn't_be happy if they couldn't worry. Of course, the more children they have, the more opportunity they have to worry. Mrs. Grouse had 10 worries, and while she was awake she IF SHE TOLD HIM TO DO A THING, HE WANTED TO KNOW WHY BEFORE HE DID IT. #pent most of her time worrving. It is some job to watch 10 lively worries with only one pair of eyes, and those little Grouse certainly were lively. They began to run almost as soon as they had picked their way out of their shells. It was surprising how fast their little legs could move. They were darlings. Even Peter Rabbit had 1o admit that. Not in all the Green Forest were there any cuter babie: But, oh, dear, such a care as they | were! Some people seem to think that all little babies are alike, but they are not. Even when they are very little they differ greatly. Before those 10 little worries of hers were a whole day old Mrs. Grouse found that one of them had a very strong will of his own. He was quick enough and smart enough, but he wasn't always obedi- ent. If she told him to do a thing he wanted to know why before he did it. As the days went on he ziew worse in this respect.

BURGESS | he always waited to see why he should hide; and as a result once he was all but caught by Redtail the Hawk. Yes, sir, he was almost caught. But it was not just their enemies that Mother Grouse had to worry about. She worried about the weather. 1 suppose most mothers do worry over the weather more or less. But this Spring was rather wet. Baby Grouse cannot stand very much wet weather. They are apt to sicken and die if the weather is wet too much at a time. So Mother Grouse always had the weather on her mind. She doesn't mind it for herself. Any kind of weather suits her. But for those bables she wanted sunshine and dry weather. Every time she saw a cloud growing darker and darker she would gather the children together and get them under her to protect them. Or she would lead them under the very thickest hemlocks where the rain had hard work to get through. And every time one of those babies started to I run out in the rain she would cluck iand call it back. She certainly did ! keep a watchful eye on them during the wet weather. Now, for such hardy, vigorous par- ents, baby Grouse are apt to be rather delicate. Not all their enemies are wearers of fur or feathers. Some of their worst enemies are certain in- | sects. 1t would have been bad enough with just two or three children, but with 10 of them, it is a wonder that Mrs. Grouse didn’t turn gray with | worry. She didn't even sleep good. She was contjnually waking up to make sure that her 10 worries were all with her. Of course, Mr. Grouse was very proud of that family, but he didn't have a great deal to do with it {and he did no worrying over those { babies. He left all that for Mrs. Grouse. But somehow the bables { managed to escape all the dangers, (and pretty soon they began to show | real feathers and to begin to want ito try their little wings. “I” certainly shall be glad when they are able to roost in a tree,” said Mrs. Grouse with a sigh, as she watched them stretching their wings one day. 1926.) March of Progress. The idea of a will being used as a means to disinherit or totally alter the line of succession without the consent of the heirs, as can be done in many States of this country, ex- cept for dower interest of wife, is comparatively modern—a product of the philosophy of individual liberty of action. (Copyright. SUB ROSA BY MIMI Enjoying Good Time. Let me ask you this—you gals who long to step out every evening of your lives and break hearts and dance with all the sheiks and paint the town red , generally: Do vou actually enjoy yourselves when you're out—do you enjoy the good time for its own sake? Or are you like Beth, for instance? Beth goes to work, poor dear, which is all that prevents her from having a date every minute of the day. LaShe Is ‘slender, red-haired and pou- ar. She scurries away from the office for a little tea dancing, kops into some one's low-slung racer, and is whisked away home to dress for din- ner at some smart club. 1t possible, she gets rid of her din- ner escort, in order to go on dancing at 10 o'clock with some one else. This is true of Beth, and dozens of her kind who are living just that sort of life every da and some of them, bless their souls, enjoy it. But now look at our heroine! Watch her at the tea dance. She's dancing with a tall dark man who seems to be fairly aglle, and certainly crazy about er. Is she radiant with happiness? She is not. She has a worried eye out for the stagline. Are they going to cut In? Wil she get a rush? And when she leaves the afternoon gathering she’s miserable unless she's made at least one date with a new man. Her old friends might drop out—she wants to keep up a new list. She doesn’t want to be left. Then, at dinner, perhaps she's rather peeved because so few people she knows are there to see her in all her glory. What's the use of dining out if there aren't lots of acquaintances to admire and stare? Besides, she's bored at being_ taken to V.'s. She's been there several times before and she’s just dying to go to the new cafe which opened the other night. It is such fun to be able to tell all the girls that you've already been to the very latest club for dinner. Later, dancing at the night club, she looks eagerly for familiar faces. She does want her friends to see her in her new dress with Harold, who is something of a catch. As the evening wears away, and nore of the crowd appears, she pouts. She might “just well have staved home—nothing has happened right all evening. Perhaps th sounds incredible to some of you who are not so popular as our Bet But, actually, the modern girl gets in the habit of demanding more than pleasure with each evening's enter- tainment. And I caution you all to get the last drop of enjoyment out of the gayeties you're offered. Don’t keep planning for other eve- nings. Don't strive to interest new men. Don’t think of the impression you're making on your friends. If you would enjoy life, take what 5ood ‘times come your way with joy. It you keep looking anxiously ahead for more and more pleasure, you'll lose what you have. (Copyrizht. 1926.) HOW IT STARTED BY JEAN NEWTON. “Panic. In using this word most of us are unconscious of the fact that we are indulging in a bit of erudition. For in it we find an interesting survival of classic lore. Pan was the Greek spirit of the hills, god of the woods and the pas- tures, of flocks and bees, and patron of shepherds and goatherds. He is represented as having the body of a man and the legs, horns and tail of a zoat. Pan has been immortalized in Eng- lish literature by Robert Browning' poems.

How irritating is vacillation, such as, “Maybe” or Perhaps” or “I'll see,” or “I can't make up my mind,” when we ask a person to do a thing.

Use Larvex to mothproof— ashed For CENTURIES women have fought the moth. But moth-worms have gone right on eating. So a group of men determined to outwit these destructive pests by an entirely new method. Instead of devising a new means to fight the moth itself, they experimented for eighteen months and produced a new liquid which ‘would make woolen fabric proof against moth-attack. They named it Larvex. Then they tested it for months longer. Mothproofed hundreds of woolen samples with it. Covered the samples with moth-worms. And the moth-worms died—without eating a single hole in any sample mothproofed with Larvex. (Moth-worms hatch from eggs laid by moths. Moth-worms do all the eating. Moths are harmless.) Then the story was told to American women. Today, over 1,000,000 women are mothproofing all their woolen things with No moth-worm or carpet beetle will eat any woolen article sprayed thor- oughly with Larvex. For Larvex penetrates the wool fibres and makes the cloth itself mothproof. No other protection is necessary. Leave your clothes hanging in the closets—always available—never wrinkled—never heavy with un- pleasant odors. For Larvex is odorless. Non-inflammable. And one thorough spraying lasts an entire season. HOW TO BUY LARVEX If you have never used Larvex, first buy the combination package contain- the im| Larvex Atomizer, $1.50.
