WOMAN’S PAGE. Smart Gifts Made From Kid Gloves BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Let me remind you that old dogskin gloves can be used for “leather” and gauntlet gloves or other long kid gloves can supply large and usually ¢ good and strong parts to make into gifts. Contrasting kid or silk should be used for linings. It is pos- sible to buy small pleces of leather where bags are made or at shoe shops. Key cases cost a neal little sum to buy, but almost nothing to make. Stout leather i for these.

The flap may be curved or straight, though when straight it is well to round the corners a trifle. After the case has been made it should be taken to a hardware shop and be fitted with four, five or six key holders, according to the size of the case. It should also have a fastening put in for the flap. Key cases are just-the thing to give men for whom it is often most difficult to find things they will actually put to use. Women find such cases a great convenience also. s Leather Frames. 0ld picture frames, such as stand on tables, can be covered with leather or kid and become like new and quite sultable for presents or for bazaars. The kid should be absolutely fresh, as indeed it must be for all purposes mentioned if the things are to be like new. Fortunately, kid and leather can be cleaned readily. If the frame 1s too large to recover without seams, glue strips down each side and along the top and bottom, having the cor- ners cut to fit diagonally. Cut con- trasting narrow gtrips of kid and glue them over the seams, turning the ends under to the back of the frame, as The Daily Cross-Word Puzzle {(Conyright. 1926.) E EEEEN B EEEE Across.

Raffia Bags. Besides the leather articles, let me mind you that there is time to make a few rafia bags in envelope style. These are come of the smartest of the recent Parisian fashions in handbags and purses. The work can be done rapidly and the bags are not large. Such a bag or purse is the sort of thing to give a woman who “has everything.” It would gladden the heart of some young woman who de- lights in the latest styles of acces- sories. It would be appreciated by a matron of any age. In short, a raffia purse-bag of this sort is *“just the thing” to glve when one is in doubt, for it is exclusive and smart, takes little time to make, and the cost of materlals is small.

The Just Thinker. ‘Watch for parallel wrinkles or lines upon the forehead which are more no- ticeable when the Bubject is scrutiniz- ing or calculating by rehrfl% to books or papers before him. ese lines are infallible signs of character —and of a good character, t00. Parallel, regular, not too deep wrin. kles of the forehead are seldom found except in very intelligent, wise, ra- tional and justly thinking persons.

How am I to wake this woman up and make her see that she has something due her husband as well as her child? “Is it fair that I should sacrifice all my happiness for the sake of raising and educating this child that I also love, or would I be justified in supplying money for its education and upbringing and allowing the mother to take it— since that is all she cares for—while I go my way." o s o ® I HAVE quoted this letter at length because it sets forth more forcibly than I could the proposition that many a man finds himself up against when his first child is born and when he realizes that the thing he has looked for- ward to as the crowning joy of his life turns out to be the tragedy that wrecks his domestic bliss. Maternity always works a miracle in a woman's character, but it is quite likely to mar it as to make it, so far as a husband is concerned. Many a man has seen the sweet, dainty, pretty, accomplished and interesting girl he married changed by the advent of her baby into a slovenly, tiresome slave, who has no thought or time or interest in anything except the baby in the cradle. Such & woman lives and moves and has her being in the nursery. She refuses to dress up because it is easier to handle the baby in a frowsy wrap- per. She declines to go out with her husband, because something might happen to the baby if she did. She gives up her music because it wakens the baby for her to practice. She cannot talk or think of anything except baby, and her soclety becomes as appetizing and inspiring as sterilized baby food. The husband is utterly neglected—in fact, comes to exist only as a necessary and useful provider of embroideries, frills, perambulators and doctors to His Royal Highness, the heir apparent. Now men, except in extremely rare instances, have not a crazy paternal passion, as many women have a maternal mania. The average man accepts a child very calmly. He wants to provide for it, to see that it is well taken care of, and he loves it dearly, but he wants also some life beyond that. The fact that there is a baby in ‘the nursery doesn’t keep him from wanting the society of his wife and the attentions he has been accustomed to from her, nor does it diminish his interest in the theaters or his desire to take his wife to dinners and dnnvies and to places of amusement. o .. 'I"HE young mother, obsessed by little Johnny, fails to see this. She is such a blind devotee of the cradle that she thinks her husband doesn’t mind how she looks or how she neglects him or how much she leaves him alone, because it is all for the baby. Unfortunately a husband doesn’t take this view of the subject. All he sees is that his wife has lost her looks, that she is no longer attractive and makes no more effort to please him. Moreover, it is dull and lonely at home with wife in the nurse he starts out to find amusement on his own hook. g o Thus the child that should have bound the two more closely together becomes the wedge that drives them apart. No man enjoys hnvln); h‘::’enm put out of joint even by his own son, and if the true co-respondent in many a divorce case were named it would be shown that he was a small lobster- colored individual with no teeth or hair and a countenance with the expres- sion of a cream chee: se. It is an admirable thing, of course, for a woman to be a devoted mother, but maternal affection is a virtue that can be carried too far. have some rights as well as babies, and the wife who ne:l:ct:rhe for her children does so at her peril.

AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS, BUCKS COUNTY, Pa., December 15, 1776.—Certain regiments of Pennsyl- vania ‘militia, according to informa- tion which has reached headquarters, have refused to obey the call to arms of the Pennsylvania Councll of Safety, but are exulting at the approach of the enemy and rejoicing in our late misfortunes. Gen. Washington has to- day informed the Pennsylvania Coun- cil that in his opinion such people should not be trusted with arms in their han If they will not use their arms for 0s, he says, there is the greatest reason to apprehend that they will act against us; and if they wish to remain neutral, their arms should be secured for other regiments which are coming forward with en- thusiasm to maintain the liberties of America. The general proposes, if the council will empower him to do so, to disarm the traitorous regiments and bring intheir muskets to be hand- ed over to other regiments which cannot come to the front for the lack of firearms. The general was informed today of the capture of Gen. Lee. This news, coming with that of the disloyal Penn- sylvania regiments and other evi- dences of indifferences to our cause, weighs heavily upon him. But, what- ever his disappointments, his confi- dence in the future is never shaken. He never loses his faith in the genuine friends of American freedom and in their abllity to see the war through to a vlvcvtor!ou- conclusion. ““We must put our dependence,” he wrote yesterday to Gov. Trumbull of Connecticut, “in the public spirit and virtue of the people.” But he admits with sorrow that too many of the people of New Jer- sey and Pennsylvania, the citizens of ‘I;Y'l{l:ddz':p:l? exce]lrted, “have mani- ut too small a regard to thel rl'_‘!:u &nd liberties.” e 5 o v. Trumbull's plea for aid against the enemy force which invad- ed Rhode Island a week ago, he has to say that the weakness of his own force makes it impossible for him to detach any part of his small army for service in New England, but he has ordered Gen. Benedict Arnold, now on his way down from Ticonderoga, to repair imediately to New London, al- though he could use Arnold to excel lent advantage here and in the Jer- seys. Also he has countermanded the march of Gen. Heatli's division to his own camp, in order that Heath may remain at Peekskill for any move that may be required along Hudson's River or in New England.

There is no doubt in anybody's mind that the Atlantic Ocean is east and the Pacific Ocean is west. But the traveler through the Panama Canal is often bewildered. The Isth- mus of Panama makes an S-shaped curve, and, as it happens, the easiest place to cut the canal through was in the reverse curve of the S. And thus it happens that in traveling from the Atlantic to the Paclfic one salls east, while the journey frone the Pacific to- ward the Atlantic is westward. Now, what do you know about that?

The regular meteorological dis- turbances, cyclone and anti-cyclone, move from west to east in the north- ern United States of America. 4. The east wind generally pre- cedes a storm, because the storm cen- ters or cyclonic areas, though moving from west to east, always have winds blowing in from all directions toward the center. For that reason the cen- ter when approaching from the west is preceded by winds which it is drag- ging toward it out of the east. 5.

Reddy isn't doing that for fun. He does some things for fun, but he isn't doing that for fun.

If Sammy had but known, Reddy was giving a beau- tiful example of patience and per- sistence. Had he not been both pa- tient and persistent he would have given up after one or two disappoint- ments, But no one knows better than does Reddy Fox the value of both patience and persistence. Without them Reddy would have starved to death long since. Thére are times, especially in Winter, when patience and persistence are all that will fill an empty stomach. No one knows it better than does Reddy Fox. Ever since he was a little fellow Reddy has been training himself to be patient and persistent. Now, Reddy was hungry this morn- ing. He was very hungry. It was nothing new. At this time of year Reddy was hungry most of the time. KITTY McKAY BY NINA WILCOX PUTNAM. ‘When I have to buy a lot of C. O. D, F. 0. Bs and B. V. D.s, I usually BY THORNTON W. BURGESS It was very seldom that he had his stomach really filled. But this par- ticular morning Reddy was unusually hungry. This snow crust made hard hunting. For a whole week he had had hard hunting. You see, Reddy lived very largely on mice, and now these mice were quite safe with the crust above them. They were quite safe, but not wholly safe. “I'll get one if I keep at it long enough,” Reddy kept saying over and over to himself. ‘“Yes, sir, I'll get one.

It seems as if those four feet of his began to fly even before they hit the smow. For a minute Sammy Jay couldn’t see Reddy, he was so hidden by the cloud of snow he was throwing out. Then he stopped digging. Up came his head. As usual, he blew the snow out of his nose. But this time there was no disappointed look on his face. Instead there was a very pleased look. In his mouth was a mouse. Patience and persistence had been rewarded. But Reddy wasn't the only ome whose patience and persistence had been rewarded. Sammy Jay had his reward.
