r B i WOMAN’S PAGE. BY THORNTON FISHER 52 I The Sidewalks of Washington ” A Washington young lady took two wns several weeks ago to a tailor- ing ulnbllshmel;h Returning a few she taflor had disap- peared, hook, line, sinker and gowns. Moreover, he had left no clue to his whereabouts. She inquired of a Chi- nese laundryman, but the taciturn Oriental said only. “Allee samee gone. Don’t know.” Thoroughly aroused at the possible loss of apparel, the young lady reported the incident to the police of the first pre. cinct and Detective Kane was as- signed to search for the tailor. The detective instantly recognized the ad- dress as that of a building which had figured in numerous police forays. In fact, the strong-arm squad on more than ore occasion had invoked the aid of sledge hammers to break up alleged gambling parties. It was not charged that the tailor was engaged in anything more ques- tionable than pressing, cleaning and mending, but the laundryman was not so sure about it. The Chinaman owns the building and Detective Kane directed his attention to him. “Hey, Ching,” demanded the offi- cer. “‘what has become of that tailor?” “Me puttum cut. P'leece allee time blust down doors,” replied the laund- ryman. ettee tired puttee up new doors, Puttum out!" The young lady eventually recovered her gowns. * ok ok X The latest Scotch gag in_vaudeville: “I just received a New Year's card from a Scotch friend. He sent me the card for 1927, 1928 and 1929.” Met a friend on G street next day and inquired if he had heard the last Scotch joke. “I hope so,” said he, beating it. * ok ok % When one speaks of a person being many-sided it recalls to mind the child who was asked by the teacher to describe a cat. “A cat,” said the youngster, “is an animal with four legs—one on each corner.” A Washington business acquaint- ance who employs a number of clerks and stenographers is an efficiency fanatic. The other day he received a letter from a friend introducing the bearer. The letter read: “Dear Ed— ‘This will introduce to you the bearer, Mr. ——. He is looking for a situ- :tl]O.“. He is a man of many parts, o Dictated by benevolence rather than judgment, the gentleman employed the job-seeker. Two weeks later the man was sacked. His erstwhile em- ployer requested him to deliver a let- ter to the man upon whose recom- mendation he had been engaged. This was _the note: “Dear I am veturning the bearer to you. He has too many parts missing, etc.” * kX ¥ Maj.

NANCY PAGE Gifts for Elderly Folks Whimsical or Useful BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. ‘When Grandmother Lee's birthday was Imminent Nancy puzzled and frowned over a suitable gift. Elderly folks have so few wants that the list of welcome presents is of necessity small. Nancy had heard her grandmother speak of the small swinging mirror, almost toy size, which was affixed to two small drawers and which held her trinkets as a girl. These dolllike dressers are coming back in style for the early American furnished home. But Nancy found there were. high- priced, costing more than she wanted to pay. Accordingly, she did the Nancy-like thing and worked out a substitute. She purchased a toy chiffonier. She lacquered this in mauve and silver, with drawer knobs and drawer inte- rior done in cerise. It was most so- phisticated, looking when finished. In one drawer Nancy put old-fashioned barley candy. Crystallized fruits went in another drawer, and stationery and stamps in a third. Nancy’s mother gave a reading glass. It was light in weight, with a study handle so that even trembly old hands could hold it firmly. (Covyright. 1927.) Afraid. “Susie, please run into the house and bring me my scarf off the table.” Susie started, then hesitated, turned pale and began to cry. “Why, Susle, what is the matter?” “Nothing. I'm afraid.” “Afraid of what?" othing. “Then go at once and bring the scarf. Don't stand there crying like a baby. There's nothing to be afraid of anyway. Whoever heard of a child who was afraid of nothing? Don't let sister see you crying and shivering just because you were asked to go into the house for a scarf. She'll laugh at you for crying for nothing. Don’t be so silly. Run along.” But Susie, instead of running cheer- fully to the house, plumped down on the grass and went into a screaming fic that lasted for an hour. When she was quiet again, her mother asked her once more what she feared, and Susie sobbed and said, “Nothing. I'm afraid.” Fear kept Susie from telling Wwhat it was she feared, you may be sure of that. She may have been afrald of being laughed at or punished or threatened. Who knows what thoughts flow through a child’'s mind at such a time? Fear robs him of all reason, all power. His mind goes blank and he says what he thinks he means, “Nothing.” But there is something that lies at the root of such terror and which must be found and adjusted if the child is to be freed from his fear. To say he is afraid of the dark is not to tell the whole story. The dark is peopled to his imagination—maybe his memory—and it is our task to learn just what the creatures are that people the world of darkness. Deal gently with the child and he may tell you all about it, and then you can help him. i In trying to trace a child’s fear it may shed light and direction upon the case if you examined your own fears. They are often reflected upon those about you. Adjust yourself, take stock of your mental states and set them in order. That will help more than you understand. Mental states are 'live, powerful forces in daily living. They are never to be lightly discounted. In summing up a child’s problems, examine the mental attitudes of those who surround him, your own included. Are you disappointed in your child for any reason? Be sure he feels your concealed Irritation and will know the cause before very long. You conceal no strong thought from those about you. Do you lose your temper and strike or scold or terrorize your child? That attitude in you will breed fear in your chila. Do you hold up a standard to which this child cannot attain? That, too, will breed fear in him, though you never mention it. There is, of course, a reason for a child’s fear. It may lie within you, it may lie within himself. Search pa- tientl¥ and strive to remove it, for fear is a cruel power in the life of a child.
