In the Summer time when deco- rative effects that are easy are espe- clally in demand for the home, it is a good thing to make use of cut-outs. These need not be confined to paper, but may include fabric equally as felicitously. The work can be used for all sorts of purposes from the decoration of trays to the trimming | of hangings, napery, etc. There are delightful crepe paper motifs that can be cut out and put to the first use, and there are endless motifs in printed fabrics that lend themselves admirably to hundreds of uses. Then there are the cut-outs that yvou make for your own especial reguirements and which can be of plain material, or from plaid, striped or figured goods. Directions for Trays. For the under portion of a tray of mlass which needs renewing use a plain fabric. Glue it to the piece of wod that makes the under part of the tra Cut birds from linen or creton Use aione or with some floral motifs. Arrange them decoratively on this background. Then glue deftly in position. the tray, and you have taken but a short time to have what appears to be a different tray altogether and a truly ornamental one. Lamp Shades, Motifs glued to a background of paper fastened to the frame of an electric light shade make delightful effocts if well chosen and neatly ap- plied. When the shade is completed it is often advisable to go over the entire surface with amber wax or Greywing’s Dinner. Fhe clever alwaya find 3 way 0 ket a dinner every day. eadow Mouse. It is seldom the clever who go bungry. Somehow, somewhere, they always manage to find enough to eat. That is because they make the most of the wits Mother Nature has given If they can’t get a thing one they will get it another way.

Use on Curtains. | Now that polka dots are so fash- |fonable it is possible to transform | sheer curtains by giving them a bor- der of such cut-outs of plain material. Glue these on as dots are glued on veils. 1f vou would have the effect identical on both sides, each disk or dot must have a backing of the same fabric glued so that one registers per- fectly with the other. Use three bor- der lines of dots in alternating order of rows. The colors may differ in each row and the row closest the hemmed edge be of larger dags than either of the other rows, the second a little smaller and the third & trifie smaller still. Thumb tack the cur- tain to a board while doing this work so that the mesh is straight and the rows are even. It will take a sur- prisingly short time to do a curtain. The dots can be cut some evening and be ready for gluing later, The colors of the dots should correspond with some tones in the decorative scheme of the room. Wall Hangings. A panel for a room can be made by using a length of plain parchment paper and gluing storks or tall birds {and grasses cut from wall paper onto this background. Or Chinese panels can be made by gluing pagodas and little ‘bridges and garden scenes to cloth or paper. The beauty of these panels is that they can be made com- plete in pictorial effect without having the design broken into, as is the case when a length of wall paper or fabric is used for the purpose. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS bars. Once when he had climbed up on a sand dune and looked over to- ward the ocean, he saw Greywin standing on a rock. Greywing that distance Svas shining white, all but his wing: They gray, and it was from-this that he was named. Never since he had come to the seashore had Danny known quite how to judge Greywing. He never felt easy when Greywing was sail- ing above him. for in spite of the fact that he looked white, Danny was always reminded of the Hawk family, which all his life he had to watch out for. He couldn’t quite make up his mind that birds which could soar and sail could be trusted. He often wondered what Greywing ate. Of course, he knew that he ate fish, be- cause he had seen him swoop .down into the water and pick something out of it. But he wondered if he had to catch all these fish alive. He didn't know that Greywing got a great deal of food floating in the water thrown over from ships. And then one day he saw Greywing get a dinner in a most surprising way. Danny was over where he had seen the man digging clams. In fact, the man had come back again that day and dug a lot of clams. After the man had gone, Danny saw Greywing sailing in that direction. Greywing alighted where the man had been digging and began to®walk around. Presently, he picked up a clam that had been overlooked. It was a biz clam “Now, | Grey what under the sun will do with that?” thought Danny, “He certainly will choke to death if he tries to swallow it.” Up went Greywing with the clam. Up and up and up. Danny wondered how high he would go, Suddeniy Danny ‘caught sight of something dro?inx. It came down so fast he could hardly follow it with his eyes. It struck on a rock and Danny heard something crack. When he looked up again he discovered that Greywing the Gull was coming down almost as fast as the thing that had dropped. Greywing alighted on the rock where the thing had struck and picked at it with his bill. Then Danny saw that the thing he had seen drop was that clam, and now its shell was broken all to bits. Grewwing was pulling off the pieces of broken shell, and in a moment he swallowed that clam. Then he went to look for another and tried the same thing over again “I've learned wmnhxn:, iy Danny to himself. “I don’t believe anybody is absolutely safe. 1 didn't suppose any one could possibly get one of those clams inside such a hard shell, '‘but Greywing has been smart enough to find a way.

SUB ROSA BY MIMIL A Modern Sob Story. Here's a real sob story, complete with a moral and a grave lesson. Ser- mons afe difficult to listen to. The dangers of drink have been dealt with until every one's fed up hearing about them. Yet I offer this picture to you i simply because it came to my notice only last night, and it made me won- der if any of you popularity-mad girls find yourselves in a similar position. We were dining at a _quiet club, en- joying after-dinner coffee, when the peace of the place was brokén by a loud roar. Ever one turned and rta Through the door proceeded a party of four. One of the boys and both girls looked usual enough, duletly dresses, fairly attractive. But the second boy claimed the attention of every diner. Red-faced, staggering bellowing, he elbowed his way into the center of the room. It didn't take a trained medical eye to detect the fact that he'd had enough aleohol to sink several ships. Nor was it any less apparent that the rest of the party hadn’t tasted any at all. Our hero, the Blustering Bull, roared again and ordered a tabie, The head waiter hesitated and was los gave him a table, and probably re- gretted it immediately. For the Bull made himself just as conspicuous and noisy and disgusting as any one human being could pos- sibly be, . He pounded on his tabie, bawling for “Service! He howled for soup— threatened the waiter with violence for not paying more strict attention to his wants, Then I looked at his companion and T did feel sorry for her, She was 8o _obviously out of the picture. She was dressed plainly—not at all smartly—and the face which looked out from under a rather dowdy hat was not really attractive—just rather friendly and eager looking. Occasionaly she gave nervous little laughs as her bull-necked companion committed some fresh atrocity. Most of the time she regarded him anxious- ly—watching the other diners unhap- pily, hoping they wouldn't laugh. From time to time he patted her jocularly on the shoulder and as sured her that he loved her deeply. At this she shrank back, but giggled to let him know she was pleased. Her story was so easily read. Not the popular type of girl, not sought after by boys of wealth who could afford stunning cars and gay time: She'd probably envied the pretty, smart girls she knew: wished for chance at their happiness. Then this red-faced fish had swum into her life. He was quite definitely the type popular, smart girls would huve giv the air long ago. His manners were too terrible to be coun- tenanced. ‘Well, he wanted a girl to come along on his party, and, as all the more eligible maidens had turned him down. he decided that Miss Plain But Nice would do. He had a stunnning car—we saw that later—and enough money, she thought, to furnish her with the sort gavety she craved. So she went with him, pitifully flattered at having been sought out by a big athlete. He promptly drank himself into the state of mind where he thought she was beautiful, and she was still more pitifully flattered. How often will she go out with that rowdy, wincing and shuddering and laughing nervously, thankful when evening’s over, yet hating to give up her only taste of the sort of life popu- lar girls lead? 1 hope soon, because the poor kid not having a taste of the real thing. She’'s getting only the very cheapest and coarsest imitation. (Copyright, 1926.) MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. Clean as Her Doll. One mother say!

Now daughter and doll both have their daily baths, and there is no more fussing about it. (Covyright. 1926.) Clues to Character BY J. 0. ABERNETHY. Ears Evidences of Character. Great differences of color are found in ears. Some are bright red, and the blood seems to burst through. Some are white and transparent, while others are of a pinkish hue. All of these colors have a distinct mean- ing. Ears, like every other part of the physiognomy, bear evidence of character and disposition. Statistics show there are more defects of the ear in males than in females. Timidity is found in persons who have long, narrow, thin, bloodless ears, set closely against the sides of the head. This type is associated with individuals with long, thin faces, gen- erally of nervous temperament. is ear is similar in form to that of the rabbit and deer, and reveals some similar characteristics. Very red ears indicate an active degree of hearing capacity; the very white and thin ear lacks the acute sense of hearing. Ears may be di- vided into several classes, as the musical, the unmusieal, the refined, the coarse, the courageous and the timid. The rounded, well formed ear, that sets forward and outward, instead of being flat on the sides of the head, is a pretiy good indication of musical talent. The peculiarity of the musical ear is the thin rim which seems to be hollowed out at the edge. You will find that all musicians have the “rim” perfect in outline around the top, continuing in an unbroken line near the lobe. (Copyright. 1926.) Tokcn String Beans. ‘Wash, drain, and break-in pieces some tender, green string beans and cook them uniil almost done in well salted water.

Turns Sons Into Loafers. HEN we speak of the qualities of @ good mother we always put sympathy | at the head of the list, and, indeed, there's something divine in the | tender pity of & mother who breaks her heart over every hurt her child gets | in life and washes its wounds with her tears. <Perhaps the one thing that re: ber most about our own mother when we have grown old and they have gone from us, is how they kissed the place to make it well when we stumbled and fell; the times we wept out | our sorrows on their breasts, and how we could always turn from & world that beat and bruised us to the one who poured over our scars the healing balm of her sympathy. 8 & mother comforteth oné who mourns.”” It is the symbol of all consolation. Blessed are those who have had a tender, sympathetic mother. Unhappy those who have missed this priceless boon: Yet sympathy.is one of the| virtues that lean to vice's side, and probably there is no other one thing in | all the world that has wrecked so many lives, that is responsible for so many weaklings, and that has made so many quitters and shirkers s mothers’ indiscriminate application of sympathy to their children. For while pity is an emollient that soothes a sore place, and takes the sting out of it, it is also a dope that paralyzes effort. We can be pitied until we are absolutely too,drugged to struggie against misfortune. We ‘can be wept over until our backbones melt down into & mush of self-pity. And that is what only too many mothers do when their children are placed in an unfortunate environment, or come to grips with the rea] trials of life. Mother pours over them the inexhaustible floods of her sympathy until she makes them so sorry for themselves that their morale is completely broken down and there isn't a bit of fight left in them, And when we come to the hard sledding it s not pity that we need. It a brace. We do not need someone to sob over us and tell us how sorry they are for us because the road is rough before us, and it will take all of our strength to make the grade. We need somebody to give us a brace and tell us to go to it, and that they know we ha.\'a.thc grit to carry on . 'HE mothers who do the most harm with their pity are the poor mothers, who, having little elge to give their children, overwhglm them with the sympathy that is their undoing. It is a common thing to hear these mothers lamenting because they can- not give thelr children opportunities and fine clothes, and telling them that a poor girl or boy has no chance in the world, with the inevitable result that unless thelr children are made of sterner stuff than most youngsters are, they become the embittered idlers and loafers who never try to do anything and who go through life bewailing their lack of luck. Their mothers’ pity that made them soft was their ruin. She made them failures when she might just as easily have made them successes by filling them with ambition and courage, instead of sel 'mpathy. Nine-tenths of the men who are doing the big things in this country today, who are sitting in the seats of the mighty, making laws, writing books, running banks and railroads and building bridges and skyserapers, were poor boys who had few advantages of education and no luxuries. It is a safe bet that not one of them had an overly sympathetic mother who pitied him because he had to get up in the morning and do his chores before he went to werk, and because he had to sweep out the store or work on the slag pile or carry a surveyor's chain, and didn’t have fine clothes and couldn’t go to an expensive college and joy-ride around in'a sports model car. On the contrary, they had mothers who told them how fortunate they were to have a job, and who saw that they got off to work in time of a morn- ing, and who fired their imaginations with tales of other poor hoys who had worked their way up to fame and fortune. And when little Andy and Charlie and Calvin came home tired and discouraged and envious of boys who could play instead of work, yvou may be sure their mothers didn’'t weaken them vith pity and tell them how cruel and unjust their lots were. They said, ‘My son isn't a whiner. He isn't & quitter. He is a fighter.” And sent him back to his job. 4 o e o0 THERE isn't a day that some mother’doesn’t ask me what she shall do with a strong, husky son who refuses to work, who won’t even get up to breakfast in the morning, and who forees her, or his sisters, to support him. The mother is worried to death over him, but when I point out to her the obvious solution of the problem, which is turning him out of the house and forcing him to earn his own living, she throws up her hands in horror. “Oh, T couldn't do it,’ she cries, “I couldn’t sleep in my bed, if T knew John had nowhere to lay his head. My food would choke me when I thought of him being hungry.” It is in vain that I point out to her that if the boy had to work or starve he would work. So she goes on encouraging her son in being a parasite and a grafter, because she is go sorry for him. 1t is mother’s sympathy that is first aid in divorce. It is because young women know that they can alw run back home to mother and be wept over and pitied and poor Mary-ed and supported, that so many of them throw up their hands and quit as soon as they find out that matrimony is a life job at hard labor instead of a picnic. Many a home could be saved from total wreckage, many a marriage could be salvaged, if, instead of deluging their disgruntled children with pity and taking their sides, mothers would can thelr sympathy and send their sons and daughters back to do their duty and make the best of the bargains they had made. It is the sweetest and most precious thing on earth Wise is the woman who knows how to use it spar- ingly and judiciously. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1926.) PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE: BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. Mothers' sympathy! and the most dangerous. practice of spreading all sorts of dis- ease under that cover. But nobody knows what anybody Nobody Knows What This Means. In a recent article 1 endeavored to explain why certain individuals are prone to wear excessive clothing, sleep under enormous coverings and in the Winter season heat their living or work rooms to a frightful degree. 1 described the state of slowed or lowered metabolism which doctors term hypothyroldism. Two or three times in the course of the article I mentioned that these individuals are “hypersensative to cold”"—in other words they find it difficult to keep warm even when normal persons are warm enough or too warm. I rashly assumed that ordinary folk, laymen, understand what one means when one says he “feels cold” or does not feel the cold. They do not. One wrote: “I noticed your article, and I have one cold after another, just as you other wrote: “This clipping describes my case perfectly—I am just getting over one now. Even out here in the reputed balmy climate of California I take cold very easily.” Still another wrote: “I am writing in regards to your talk about Jack and Molly Coddle. I think I must be Molly for I am very subject to catching cold.” Still another wrote: “I happen to be one of the ones who always have colds and my daughter can’t seem to stand cold either—she has them about as often as I do. The abnormal sensitiveness to cold which 1 was discussing in that ar- ticle has no bearing whatever upon the subject alluded to in these com- munications. These peopla read but scarcely heeded what I said. That is another reason why it is wrong to dub an ailment or disease or fliness of any kind “a cold.” In calling the troyble by such a meaningless name you are just deceiving yourself or the public, concealing the probability that your disease may be a communicable one. Of course, it is good form to play this little joke—all the old fogy health authorities of the .day uphold the game and give their blessing to the Willie Willis BY ROBERT QUILLEN. “That new boy I8 the kind: that likes to chew fbur sticks of gum at once if he thinks maybe you're goin” to ask for another i - Copyrisht. 1096.. means by “a cold,” a “simple cold,” a ‘‘common cold,” or a “slight cold.” 1 v _health authority, rhylic n or layman whose i has weight, to define a *‘cold. one has ever ventured to do so. The moment any, health authority, phy- sician or layman of standing defines a “cold” his game is finished, for the great function or purpose of this vague term is that it enables the per- son who uses it to conceal the nature of the illness in question or to conceal his ignorance of the nature of the ll- ness in question. No health authority dares to answer my challenge, for the simple reason that no two health authorities have the same conception of what an alleged ‘‘common cold” is. They dare not commit themselves on it, because they know how ridiculous the effect would be if some other health authority should happen to define his conception of it. No discussinon, argument or de- bate about this subject can reach a conclusion until some understanding as to the identity of the malady under discussion is agreed upon.
