Safety Methods for the Bathtub BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. There are few things more annoy- ing than to fall, even though you do not hurt anything but your pride. But such accldents may prove serious. Little children fall and pick them- selves up many times a day without harm to themselves; but when an BECAREFUL ABOUT GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE TUB; USE BATH SALTS AND A GOOD SOAP AND TAKE PLEASURE IN THE DIP. adult falls it is apt to be a painful mdventure. One of the times an adult meets with such a calamity is when taking the morning or evening bath in the tub. Since such accidents can be guarded'against, it is well to take &ood precautions. For instance, be sure that the bot- tom of the bathtub is not slippery when you step into it. Sometimes there is a little soap that falls into the water and settles just where you would put your foot. This is a com- mon cause for such falls. Or it may be that bath salts have not entirely dissolved and they remain in the bot- tom of the tub. Down you go unless Jou are careful when this is the case. BEDTIME STORIE Danny’s Queer Craft. The one thing needed in a boat Is certainty that it will float. —Danny Meadow Mouse. You will remember that Danny Meadow Mouse was holding his breath in an old can on the bank of the river, g from a great Danny didn’t have to won- That cat put her.nose to gray cat. der long. the opening and every sniff ran up and down Danny’s backbone from his chatter- ng teeth to the end of his funny short tail. Those sniffs were a dread- ful sound. They sounded hungry. ——e THE OLD CAN W AROUND IN BLOWLY SPINNING CLES. They sounded cruel. Danny didn't fike the sound of those sniffs at all. But it was only her nose that that at could get in at that opening, and o those sniffs were quite harmless. hen she tried to get her paw in. Panny could hear her sharp claws scratching on the tin, and they didn't make him feel any more comfortable. He knew just what that cat was try- ing to do. He knew that that cat hoped to get her claws into him and pull him out. But that cat was what is called a double-pawed cat. She had two extra toes on each front paw, and, of course, that made her front feet extra big. She couldn't get her paw into the can. Presently that cat lost her temper. There is nothing more foolish in all the Great World than to lose one's temper, but almost every one does it, and this cat did it now. She struck at can with her paw. She knocked t this way and she knocked it that way, Poor Danny was rolled over and over, now on his head, now on his back, now right side up and now wrong side up. Finally the can landed on the edge of the bank. Once nore the cat struck at it. This time t rolled down the bank and landed splash in the water, Now, for once, Mouse 'was really lucky. When that can landed in the water, it landed right side up, and it floated. Of oourse, Danny inside couldn’t see just what had happened, but it didn't take him long to find out that he was afloat. He heard the splash as the can hit the water. Then he began Danny Meadow woise of the city reaches high it fades at last in the quiet sky, And the provd lovd hern: and the clanging cars Are 2 faint soft . muemur beneath the stars. in_the can and sniffed, | If just before stepping into the tub you swish your hand across the bot- tom of the tub, such misfortune can be avoided. You feel the bit of soap and take it but, or stir the salts about until they are dissolved _entirely. | Some persons put a wee rubber mat into a bathtub and step on to that |as a safeguard against falling. Any | of these precautions are helpful. ! Grab Rails. | In many a bathroom there is a | stout porcelain rod attached to the | wall above a tub. This is called a {grab rail. It is put there to assist persons to get out of tubs more easily. It is well to use it when getting into the tub also. Keep a firm hold until you are seated in the tub, or until you are standing firmly on the bath mat as you get out. If there is no grab | rail; take hold of the sides of the tub, |and keep hold until you step out lonto the bath mat. I Bath Salts and Soaps. Most of the falls people get in bath- tubs could be averted, and so it seems doubtly regrettable that they should happen. It often takes weeks to get over such a painful accident, so take precautions. Get the full enjoyment of the bath. There are sweet-scented bath salts that are beneficial and pleas- ant to use in the water, and soaps in variety to suit different skins and personal preferences in perfumes, making them fragrant. My Neighbor Says: Add half a cupful of vinegar to half a pint of water, wring a large clean cloth out of this and go over your carpet with wide strokes. You will be greatly pleased with the im- provement in the color. A good substitute for a knob lost from a teakettle or pot lid may be made by inserting a small corkscrew from the under side and screwing a clean cork on top. One way to utilize old table linen is for drying lettuce leaves. Make a bag about half a yard square, sewing up three sides, and, after washing the lettuce leaves, drop them in the bag, shake lightly and then leave them a few moments. Nearly all the mofsture from the leaves will have been absorbed. Sandpaper is excellent cleaning pots and pans. a plece over the sink. It is advisable to purchase your household linens and cot- tons of standard makes and you will be more assured of their wearing qualities. ‘When making turnback cuffs for a man'’s shirt, sew the small- est sized snap on the cuff about | | one inch from the edge and at | | the proper place on the sleeve, | i and you will find this quite a time saver.

It seems but a few years ago that working hours were from 8§ to 6, six | days a week. Certainly the Saturday | half-holiday is a comparatively re. | cent innovation, we think, if the mat- ter of its origin comes. up at all. As a matter of fact, however, it W an innovation hundreds of years | ago, when the English King, Edgar, {in an effort to still the dissatisfaction ;n( the peasants, ordered that there should be a cessation of labor from Saturday midday until sunrise Mon- day. A stmilar order was issued by Wil- liam of Scotland in the year 1203 { while the order of Canute, “Let ever: lsunda_v be kept from Saturday noon to Monday's dawn,” is still on Great Britain's statute books!' So what we are pleased to consider a progressive innovation was really but a revival of an industrial improve- | ment of centuries ago.

Yer can't trust 'em—I let her took my gun fer a minute, and her up and swallered it on me. (Copyright. 1926.) Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. A Difficult Question. Mrs. L. L.—There is nothing so futile and yet so natural as to wonder and wonder after the death of one's baby if anything could have been done to prevent it. Dear lady, this is one of the things which one should steadfastly shut one’s mind to. It Is over. The past is irrevocable. Noth- ing can after it. I am sure that know- ing whether the disease which took your baby was a result of his nearly drowning or czme on afterward would not assuage the pain in your heart, nor bring back the dear little boy. It is sensible to face the future and not break one’s heart over the past. Mrs, J. Y. S.—Please tell your doc- tor what you have told me. This is not at all natural and needs medical attention now. Mrs. S. N. P.—There is certainly something abnormal in the child’s de- | velopment when he refuses to stand up or walk at 2 years of age. As you are doing all you can in the way of diet and codliver ofl and other alds to the cure of rickets, it would be better to realize that he needs more| jhelp than you can give him. Take a_doctor and have him ex- amined. You may find some con- genital reason for his stand alone. Mrs. W. E. H—A baby weighing 7 pounds at birth would likely, if all went well, weigh about 8 ‘pounds at 1 him to | month (allowing some 10 days to get back to his initfal birth weight). At the end of two months he would prob- ably weigh about 91, pounds. From | this you can figure out about how far he is from average now. Your formula is very large in quantity. Five ounces at a time for a baby of 7 weeks is ex- cessive. Tt is always wise for so young a child to have your physician figure you a correct formula, so that he can personally advise you if any- 1 am sure over- feeding is the cause of the child’s rest- lessness and not, as you think, hun- ger. MOTHERS Neat Dresser Drawers. One Mother Says: . 1 have solved the problem of neat dresser drawers for my children by | fitting several pasteboard boxes into the drawers—one for handkerchiefs, one for ribbons, one for gloves, an- other for ties, manicure materials, socks, toilet articles, etc. A deep box, such as a shoe box, is best for each partition. It is not necessary to have the boxes covered. (Copyright. 19! Glt;zed Carrots. Young, ‘tender carrots are most de- liclous prepared in this way: Scrape, and cut in halves if large. If very small, leave whole. Bofl untll tender, then drain and place in a baking pan with a heaping tablespoonful of but- ter. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, pa- prika and a little sugar to induce browning. Bake for about 20 minutes. When boiling the carrots, it will be well to prepare a sufficient quantity of them to furnish a salad for the next day’s dinner. For this they may be mixed with green peas, string beans, lima beans, or used alone as one desires. The combination makes a very pretty, colorful salad and should be dressed with a plain French dressing. Corn Dumplings. Prepare a light dough, roll it thin, then cut it in three-dinch squares. Have ready some corn which was cooked on the ear and seasoned highly with salt and pepper. Put one table- spoonful of the corn into each square of dough with one-fourth teaspoonful of butter. Draw the edges of the pastry together and steam the dump- lings for 20 minutes. Serve as a garnish for stewed chicken. Us;s f;r Cold Coffee. Use coffee instead of water when making cocoa or chocolate, as it im- proves the flavor. Use coffee when making brown gravy for meats. Add a cupful of strained coffee to the starch for dark-colored goods, such as calicoes, percales and other wash materials. Add coffee to the water in inability to! How to Tell When a Man Loves You Says Test Is Marriage Proposal lDor’oth yDix Although a Man May Say That He Loves You, He’s Not Really Serious Unless He Urges You to Name the Day. I GET hundreds and hundreds of letters from glrls and women. in each of | which the writer says that she is sure that some man is in love with | her, despite the fact that he has never made a single sentimental speech to | her or asked her to marry him or given any indications that he has any seri- ous intentions toward her. She bases the faith that is in her on the expression of his eyes or on his having come to see her regularly and monopolizing her society for years or on his getting peeved every time she has a date even with a female friend and isn’t at his beck and call. She explains his silence by his shyness or bashfulness or something and then asks: “How can a woman tell if a man really loves her?” Only by what he says, and not always then. Not every man who swears by all his gods that he worships and adores a woman is telling her the truth and Is to be implicitly believed. But if he isn’t forever protesting his undying affection for her she may be perfectly sure that he doesn't care enough for her even to carry on a flirtation with her. There is no such thing as a dumb Romeo. When a man flls in love | the gift of tongues descends upon him. ~He becomes poetical, Iyrical, rhap- | sodical, and he cannot only sing his love in 57 different ways, but he has | the time of his life doing it. Therefore, when a man does not come out flat-footed and ask a woman | to marry him, as well as urge her to name a speedy wedding day, she may be perfectly certain that it is because he doesn't desire her for a wife and | has no intention whatever of asking her to step to the altar. And she fs | kidding herself if she malkes herself believe that he is in love with her. He isn’t. Not for a minute. As for a woman thinking that she can tell whether a man is in love with her or not by the expression of his eyes, that's tommyrot. What she sees when she gazes into his eyes is her own reflection. heart and hope that are mirrored there. Not the man’s. | Besides, no woman can really read the expression in a man’s eyes. She always interprets it to mean the thing she wants it to mean, whereas, in all probability, it means something entirely different. A cynic once said: “The light that lies in women’s eyes lies and lies and lies,” and that goes double | for men. The only eyes, male or female, that you can really bank on | meaning what they say are a dog's. | e e NOR is the fact that a man camps permanently on a woman's parlor | chairs any indication that he loves her and intends eventually to marry her. Likely as not, it is her mother's cooking instead of her personal allure | that draws him. He likes to go where he can get good home focd and be surrounded by a home atmosphere without the expense of keeping one up, and he feels that he makes sufficient return for the hospitality he receives by taking the girl out oceasionally to some place of amusement. ' But his feelings toward her are as impersonal as those he entertains toward her gas range. He is mildly grateful to’ both for blessings received, but he has no intention of tying up,with either for life. Equally fallacious is it for a woman to delude herself into believing that man is in love with her and is going to ask her to marry him because he seeks her society continually and shows that he finds her a most congenial companion. There i3 no more deadly foe to love than friendship. Once a woman becomes a man'’s pal she might as well abandon hope of his ever bestowing a wedding ring on her and wait for the time when he tells her about the darling little girl that he has fallen in love with and that he is going to marry as quickly as ever she can get her trousseau together. There are plenty of men who like feminine society but who do not wish | to burden themselves with wives. Such a man likes a good-looking. well dressed woman to chum around with and to take out to theaters and dinners He likes a svmpathetic, intelligent woman to go to with the stories of his hopes and pians; to whom he can tell his hard-luck tale when things go | wrong and be pitied and comforted; to whom he can boast of his triumphs | as he would not to a man. e He may grow fond of such a woman, but if in the first six months of their acquaintanceship he hasn't fallen in love with her enough to ask her to marry him he never will. Somehow she just missed firing his fancy. He likes her, but he doesn’t love her. He wants her as a friend but not for a wife. He will discuss every topic under the sun with her except matrimony, personally applied. | i | | | | PR EITHER is jealousy any indication of love. That is merely an outward manifestation of hurt vanity and egotism. The dog in the manger is a very common type among men. There are thousands of them who don't want to marry a woman themselves, but who want to monopolize her and keep all other men away. | We talk a great deal about men deceiving women, but the truth ie that | the woman deceives herself. She believes what she wants to believe. She | reads deep significance into a man’s most casual attentions and attributes | to him sentiments that he never dreamed of having. 1 This ability of women to kid themselves into thinking that every man | they meet falls in love with them is God's consolation prize to the homely | and unattractive, for it enables them to go through life believing them selves sirens that none could resist. e 1 But in reality no woman need deceive herself about a man’s sentiments | toward her. She has merely to reflect upon whether he has urged her to | marry him or not. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright. 1926.) BEAUTY CHATS ‘Well Polished Nails. If you have plenty of time to devote to your finger nails you should polish them by using a buffer and a little polishing paste or powder. A thor- ough polishing of this sort twice a week should be enough, if in between times you rub up the nails a bit with a clean chamois-covered polisher. But if you haven’'t much time you had bet- ter get any one of the numerous enamel polishes on the market and use it. The point is that the nails must have a considerable gloss to look well. There are one or two_points you must be careful about. If you use a polishing powder you must serub the nails with soap and warm water and a nall brush to get off all this powder. Then, after the hands are dry. go over them quickly with the clean chamols or a clean buffer and the bril- liant polish will return at once.

The first thought that flashed {across Betty's mind was of the near approach of June and its significance. It buoyed her up, made her forget all about the fact that she had been so weary. It was going to end now, all this mad scramble to make a living. Jimmy was going to tell her that at last he was ready. that they were to be married, and soon. She wouldn't even have to tell him how her nerves were going back on her because her cases would soon be a thing of the past. It was so gorgeous that it was almost beyond believing. It wasn't until they were in an open . riding through the park, that Jimmy at last turned to her. His face was glowing, ardent, and she met his look. Betty's eyes were radiant. | Darling Jimmy!
