Tt is not necessary. of course, that this acquaintance with terms, names and kinds of material he very deep. It is sufficien: that a per- son know, for instance, the differ>nce between tin and aluminum if it is kitehen ware to he bought or cotton and lisle when articles of the two kinds are under consideration. Tt is especially of the latter that T would speak today. A great many people do not know the difference be- tween cotton and lisle, and some think the term interchangeabie. In one sense of the word it is, inasmuch as cotton is used in the making of lisle. But it is equally true that all cotton is not lisle—very far from it. Different Process. A different process is used in the making of lisle goods from other kinds of cotton goods. The difference iies, first of all, in the kind of thread em- Lisle is made from cotton a special way. Two or cotton thread twisted be- comes lisle thread. “Ply” refers to strands. €o it is that the making of lisle involves a process bevond the ones necessary to the making of mere cotton; that is, the additional twisting LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. together of several strands of eotton before the thread is used {n the manu- facture of cloth. Added Strength. 1t will be readily seen that such a method adds to the strength and durs- bility of the resulting material. When the twisted threads of cotton made into lisle are of exceeding fineness, the re- sult is & material of very high quality, which, while as sheer and perhans sheerer than other fine cotton goods, is able to stand much greater wear, Distinguishing Features. Ordinary cottan gloves and stock- ings are much Inferior to the same accessories in lisle. - It is well to know this in buying. because the two may look much alike as they lie on the counter, but a few wearings of each will show this difference. Cotton, after @ short time, unless of the superior lisle quality, becomes ruffled up and fuzzy on the surface, whereas lisle re- tains the finish it had when purchased. The texture of it, with its extra tightly twisted threads, make it one of the most durable of all fine materials. This is why lisle heels and toes are put to many silk stockings. It will outwear silk, and yet is of a suffi- ciently high quality to be used in com- bination with it. ‘Also it is very soft to the skin, which is the reason why many who indulge in sports, such as s, etc., like lisle, because it is to one’s skin.

There is nothing pretty ahout the appear- ance of a child busily gnawing his finger ends. His eves have an abstracted and haunted look, his muscles are tense, his whole being lost in the lower level of conseious- ness. That in itself ought to make us watehful to help the children fight this tendency. The children who do this are usual- 1y the sort termed nervous. They worry a lot about lessons and tasks and troubles of more or less im- portance. _Concentration seems to make the lower, the old man in us, seelt for comfort against the stress caused by the demands made on our minds, We revert to the race-old habit of sucking our fingers when in distress, children and grown-ups alike. T have seen gray-haired people begin biting their nails as they studied what next to do. It s something we have to train out of ourselves and the time to begin is in early childhood. First make sure that the finger ends are clean and free of grit and roughened skin. Any discomfort there is promptly registered and promptly soothed by way of the comforting mouth. Keep the nails polished, even the little rim that is left after & atiff attack of biting. Examine the eon- dition of the nails night and morning and speak about it. Ancinting the finger tips with bit- ter medicine does not help much. The confirmed nail biter will lick it off and continue to bite. Bitter things are tasted by the back of the mouth, #0 1t the child licks off the bad taste with the tip of his ‘tongue he fis scarcely inconvenienced, though. his stomach may be upset later by the performance. Tying up the hands may keep the fingers out of the child’s meuth for a short time—you cannot tie them up for a long time—and then he will promptly put them into his mouth ta make up for the hard time they have been having, Tt is not wise to bind & child in any manner that takes away his freedom of action, that renders his will Wnnecessary or useless. A high- spirited child is injured by that sort of thing and the phlegmatic one sinks deeper into passivity, The first step in )amlu a barrier against this distressing tendency is to get *he child to wish to keep his nails in good shape. One can stimu- late that wish in many ways, each child having a different reason, per- haps, for which he might wish to help himself out of the diffieulty, A musician cannot afford to bite his nails, as the delicate sense of touch that lies in the finger ends would be ruined. A typist has the same good reason for preserving the nalls. A machinist needs fine finger tips for his work; the more sensitive they are the higher grade work he can do, ] know of nobady who does not need the protection the nails afford. Aside from the beauty of well kept hands there is every reason of neccessity de- manding it. It helps if each time the child finds his finger straying toward his mouth he says, “I must keep my fingers out of my mouth" again and again for about 30 times as fast as his tongue can go, without effort of will, ma. chine-like, and out loud. A bangle will help the girl remember as it tinkles each time She lifts her hand. Nail polish is & great help. But the child must wish to have good nails first of all. B (Conyright. 1036.)

Self-control. in a large measure, will be needed if re- sentment, annoyance and irritation are to be avoided.

They will, during their early years, be peevish, and, at times, suiky. As it dawns on them, with grewing intelligence, that this leads nowhere, they will gradu- ally become fairly amiable and con- genial, although they will never be- come good mixers. They will be studi- ous and ambitious, and will attain a reasonable degree of success Tt tomorrow Is your birthday you have always been fired with ambition, ever anxious to better yourself intel- lectually, morally and materially. You have mever, however, fooled yourself by thinking that there is any royal road to the realtaation of vour hopes and desires. You have réalized that the goal can only he attained by hard work, self-control and self-denial. Al- though adaptable, you are very posi- tive in your lkes and dislikes, and this oftimes militates against your success. You possess great powers of concentratlon and sacrifice many pleasures for the sake of your career, This, of course. does not make friends, of whom you have only a few. These few, however. are staunch and loyal.

Stay - at - Home and Run-Around Girl. EAR DOROTHY DIX: I have just about everything a normal girl needs to make me happy, except bvaux. There i that eternal man problem, a because I will not drink or pet, boya will have nothing to do with me. Now my question: Do you think 1 am right in not being fast? Do you think that some day I will find & man who can love a domestic girl and who has a higher ambition in life than just to have a good time? I am willing to wait, but will my Fairy Prince ever come to old-fashioned me in this day of flappers who smoke and carry flaske? PRISCILLA. Answer—I am no prophet where men are concerned, Priscilla, and T don’t know whether the hero of your dreama fs on his way or not—though 1 think he {s—but I can tell you one thing for certain, and that is that even it your Fairy Prince never shows up you are a lot better off than you would be it you had & bootlegier. The girls who pet and neck and smoke and drink have more dates than the modest, dignified, self-respecting ladies, but they do not outmarry them. Men like to play around with the fast girl, but when they want to plek out & wife and the mother of their children they look around for some malden who hasn't been kissed by every Tom, Dick and Harry of thelr acquaintance, and whose breath doesn’t smell of synthetic gin. That is, If the man is worth having. It 18 the men who are tin-horn &ports who marry the girls who are good sports and who later on clutter up the divorce court docket. No girl makes a mistake in belng a good girl, Priscilla. If she has to huy the attentions of rlen with her modesty, she pays too high a price for them, because she pays not only with her self-respect but she pays with the respect of the men themselves. But if you have everything else fn the world to make you happy, why do you worry o much over the man problem, anyway? It seems to me that there s nothing else so tragic as the fact that girls put the attentions of men above everything else on earth, and that if they are not beaued around by some callow little jellybean without two ideas in his head, or $2 in his pocket, all the rest is cinders, ashes and dust to them. The world is o full of a number of things besides patent.leather-haired boys. There are hooks and music and art and travel and theaters, all forms of sports and pretty clothes and good company, and yet they are nothing to asgirl if she hasn't a date! 5 Why don't you try to look at the thing straight, Priscilla? Why don't you\quit dreaming of Fairy Princes and find some real interest in life, some- thing worthwhile to do, instead of sitting around on the anxious seat and praying God to send sometiing in trousers along that way” Why don't you quit worrying over whether drug-store cowboys make dates with vou or not. And this is the queer thing about it, Priscilla. As soon as you reach the paint where you are indifferent to men and don't care whether they notice vou orwnot, they will begin to get s about you. DOROTHY DIX. . e EAR MISS IX: T am a voung man, not at all goodlooking, and I am engaged to g very pretty girl, She knows I love her, and she says that she loves me, but do you suppose she is telling me the truth? She is so beau- tiful and attractive to other men that it makes me jealous. Do you think it best for a man to wait until he has enough money to sup- port a girl the way he wants to before he marries? LI Y. Answer—You have no reason to doubt that the girl loves you, if she says she does. RBecause a man's appearance, provided he is neat and clean, cuts no ice with a woman, Women hawe more sense in this respect than men have, and they do not njek out their mates because of their beauty. They want something more substantial, gome charm that is going to last longer than a peaches-and-cream Complexion or naturally wavy hair or a willowy figure. Men marry women solely because of their looks, but not many women want a living picture for a husband. They prefer a good, honest chromo to hang on their walls. As a matter of fact, few women admire pretty men. They feel that “beauty is a prerogative that belongs to the feminine sex, and they want to be the living picture in their awn particular households. They don't want hus bands who are so taken up with admiring thelr own charms that they can't notice their wives. They don’'t want husbands who will attract every other woman's atten- tion, and espectally they don't want husbands who will present an invidious contrast to them and make everybody wonder why in goodness that hand. some man married that homely woman. . The man who knows himself {o he ugly has to cultivate other attrac- tions of manners and conversation, and 8o he often becomes a fascinator that no feminine heart can resist. 1 think that & man ehould wait to marry until he ean support a family in reasonable comfort. A young couple does not need riches to start out on, but they should have some assured way of making a living and a little laid up in the bank against a rainy da; DOROTHY DIX. DEAR MISS DIX: T am a stay-at-home boy who is engaged to a Tun~fl.mund| girl. She is crazy about parties and jazz. Do you think we w happy If we are married? T JOHN. No. I think that you will be miserable and that your life will be spent in continual bickering over how you will spend your evenings. You would want to sit by the fire with your slippers and pipe and book, and she would want to be stepping out, and think you a mean and horrid old thing because you wouldn't take her. - The most important thing in matrimony is congeniality and the only happy married couples are those who have the same ideals, who enjoy doing the same things, and who like the same kind of food. Pick out for & wife a girl who also likes to stay at home and you will be happy. Marry a gadder.and you will be miserable. The people whom wa ke ara those ‘whose opinfons agree with ours.
