WOMAN’S PAGE. Bell Pulls for Decorative Effect BY LYDIA LE BARON W PLAIN WALLS ARE THE B Bell pulle, which are now fre quently used as decorative elements in modern houses, are among the inter esting revivals that lend themselves to ' fine stitchery. necessary fittings to all fine * and for reoms where it was des to have direct communication with servants’ quarters. Then there were no electric buttons to press to indicate to butlers or maids that their services were required. But there were bells, and these must -be rung. Hence it is easy to see the origin of bell pulls. ‘The bells were far away fre pulls, of course. But the houses were wired and loops of the wire protruded from walls close to the ceiling in rooms where the pulls were attached. Since these could not be concealed they must be made ornamental. And #0 the vogue for-attractive and decora- tive bell pulls came in. Today there is no necessity for hell pulls, for this method of summoning servants went out with the advent of the electric call bell. However, some of the “pulls” were too handsome to entirely elude notice of decorators who have introduced them into mod- ern homes purely for ornament. Effective Uses. ‘They are effectively used to break wall spaces, to suggest fheight to rooms by their long vertical lines and to lend an air of reminiscent decora- tion to rooms, especially those with traces of the Victorian era. It was then that these pulls were most uni- versally seen in residences, where they indicated afuence by hinting that at any time servants could be summoned, since the household boasted of a re- tinue.

Farmer Brown's boy liked to see him there. Ro did Farmer Brown and Mother Brown. Therefore they took great pains not to disturb him. However, Whitey: wasn't easily dis turbed. He wasn't afraid of these t legged creatures. Up in the land where he had come from they didn’t harm him, s0 he saw no reason why he should he afraid down here.

It requires a plain wall or one that has but very little design to be a back- ground for these pulls, There are some old-style papers that have gilt designs on white that are in keeping, because these patterns were in vogue during the height of the fashion for bell pulls. To hang them against a wall covered with a design in colors is poor decoration, but to use one to orna- ment a narrow length of plain wall, especially in a room where traces of Victorian decoration linger, adds a note of dignity. woman with warrant BY THORNTON W. BURGESS in_watching all that went on down below. You know he can see by day as well as by night. Those are very convenient eves. It is all because his true home is way up where part of the year the sun doesn't set at all and part of the year there is no sun. So Whitey has’ become accustomed to seeing under both conditions. Now, there is nothing stupid about the members of the family of Robber the Rat. After three or four of them had mysteriously ~disappeared the word went around that there was a mysterious enemy waiting for them outside the barn, so that it was no longer safe to visit the henhouse. After that all of Robber's family re- mained in and under the barn, seldom showing so much as a whisker ut- side. In vain Whitey sat on the roof of the barn and waited and watched. He grew hungrier and hungrier and hungrier. But patlence is a virtue poesessed by Whitey and other mem- bers of his family. Bo he sat and sat and sat and watched and watched and | watched.

DorothyDix| “There Will Be Fewer Divorces When Girls Can { Openly Choose Their Mates, Instead of Having to Stalk Them From Cover.” YOUNG woman ‘said to me the other day: “I am 25 vears old and for the first time in my life I have met a man who really appeals to me. He is a voung doctor, good-looking, intelligent, enthusfastic in h's profession. very clean and frank and manly. 1 could easily fall in love with him: I think 1 would like to marry him, and I am sure 1 could make him just the sort of wife he needs. “RBut-1 have met this man casually, in & way that is not likely to bring | us together again.

[ can't let him see that 1 admire him and like him without his considering me a brazen minx. “I can’t show him any attentions without his thinking T am running after him. and that would make him flee from me. 1 can’t ‘sell’ myself to him and tell him that I just feel in my bones that I am cut out for a doctor's wife, and how helpful I would be to him and how happy 1 would make him. And if I would come out flat-footed and pop the question to him, he would probably die of the shock. At any rate, he wouldn't want to marry such an unmaidenly girl. * 0.

Of all the idiotic conventions with which the world is bound and hampered. there ix none which is %o senseless and has so little reason to mate openly [ back it as that which denies to a woman the right to select her and freely. Of course, Mr. Bernard Shaw and a lot of other married men contend that women do the picking and men marry in spite of themselves, and say that no husband could tell you to save his life how he came to bave the particular wife who wished herself on him. To a certain degree this is true, but even S0, having to work in the dark and under cover cramps the stvle of even the most adroit and determined husband-hunter. Because as things are now. instead of honestly pursuing her prey and letting a man know she is after him, and so. at least, giving him a chance to escape if he doesn’t desire to be caught, she has to use all sorts of stealthy and nefarlous methods to cover up her fell purpose. She has to camouflage her every act. She has to lay traps for him. . She has to lie and cheat and deceive. And when at last she achieves her end, if indeed she does achigve it, she has to pretend that the result is a great surprite to her and that— this is so sudden! And she often fails to do by stealth what she could have accomplished if she could have worked in the open, for not every woman is a horn diplomat, nor is every man blessed with enough keenness of perception to get all of the delicate implications of a woman's silent love-making. | have known a dullard who thought that a woman was merely heing “nice” to him when she was telling him every minute of the day that she was breaking her heart for him and imploring him to ask her to marry him. Nohody is idiotic enough really to helieve that a woman never thinks of a man until he has thought of her firat, and that she never lets her heart go pita-pat for any man until he asks her to marry him. On the contrary, very girl gives every boy the once-over, with a view to matrimony, the minute she meets him, and she decides right then and there on the spot whether she wants him ar not. And the pity is that, it he does come up to her ideal and fire her fancy, she can't let him know that he has made a hit with her, and roll up her sleeves and start a whirlwind campaign to win him as a boy would do to get the girl he desired. MANY a man persuades a woman, who had no thought originally of marry- ing him. into being his wife by exhibitions of devotion that touch her heart, and by his representations of how well he can take care of her. And the same tactics would work equally well if a girl were free to tell some lone- some, old bachelor how much she loved him. or a good cook could convince a dyspeptic of how well she couid feed him. or a comfortable widow could make some bewildered widower realize what a mother she would be to his children. And why should it he any shame to a girl to let a man know that she wants to marry him, and that she has selected him as her life mate? It is a million times more important for a woman to get the hushand she wants than for a man to get the wife he desires, because a wife is always so much more marrfed than a husband is. If a man gets the wrong mate, he has his business, his career and a thousand outside interests to keep his mind off hig troubles, but a woman has nothing. She is doomed, and nothing but death or divorce can help her. women should have the right openly to pick out the men the; And when we grant them that right we will very nearly Therefor want to marry. stop diveree. Because the woman who gets the man who is her heart's desire is not only happy herself, but she breaks her neck to make him happy. 100. & S DOROTHY DIX. OUR CHILDREN By Angelo Patri Clean Hands. It is not possible for us to do good work in whatever field of activity we engage unless we have clean hands. Starting early in the morning the first thing one ought to do is to make cer tain the hands are washed clean. Mothers who are about to feed .chil- dren and families ought to be very sure about that. Food handled by un- washed hands is likely to make a baby reading once more. He would stand washing will be well paid and paid in many ways. When children see their mother washing her hands before touching their food, washing her hands after doing any sort of work and starting the next job, they are likely to form the habit of keeping their own hands clean. That means they will be healthier children. There are many kinds of evil germs lurking about to ttack the unwary, and a host of them ride on the dir hands of little chil- dren. Little ones are always putting their hands to their faces and into their mouths, and so bring sickness unon themseives. If the hands are clean there is not 0 much danger. A piece of good soap and plenty of hot water handy suggests cleanliness to the children. T have seen delight little cakes of soap that have Mother Goose pictures on them in color. Any child would love to wash his hands with a cake of soap that hade Mother Hubbard's dog dancing upon it. And if you can’t have a decorated soap, any of the colorful, sweet smell- ing sorts that make fluffy lather will do. Lather in warm water makes his best, then, to come before the child with clean hands. 1 thought of this today as Miss Lavinia read from the BRible. She reads well and impressively, and to- day she selected the twenty-fourth Psalm, that reads like a trumpet call. In the third verse come the questions, Who shall ascend unto the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in His holy place? And then the answer. He that hath clean hands. Miss Lavinia paused there, and then went on, and I saw young Peter, the imp of the Fifth, take a quick look at his hands, rub off a speck with the corner of his handkerchief and then attend to the reading once more. He would stand in the holy place. " He that hath clean hands. o hands. Jeas tighten little glife N By always phuaning everything (When if I wait I know that fate Will bring me washed clean.

BY THE COUNSELLOR. Hiram Brown owned an up-to-date grocery store. When an enterprisin; salesman sold him butter at a ver low price, Hiram sent circulars to his customers telling them he had fine butter to sell at less than the regular price, Several customers did not like the | butter Hiram sold them, however, and | brought a sample to the Health De- partment of the city. Examination showed that the substance contained | fats, oils and grease. Soon Hiram was indicted for vio- of adulterated butter. At the trial, | Hiram was fined $10. Realizing that the conviction would hurt his business, Hiram took an ap- peal to the higher court. He de- clared that he did not know that the butter was adulterated and was, there- fore, guiltless of any intentional wrong doing. Further, Hiram stated that a grocer could mot reasonably be expected to know the ingredients of | every article he sold and that the law was, consequently, oppressive. The court, in upholding Hiram's conviction, followed the ensuing gen- eral principle of law: “By the great weight of authority the seller is under the duty of asc taining at his peril whether an article of food conforms to the standard as fixed by statute or ordinance.” (Copyright. 1927.)
