WOMA Do It Now, and N'S PAGE. Also Do It Next BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. “Do it now” is a phrase that de- serves more than a passing thought. By following it the habit of procras- tination is broken, work speeds up. and many things are accomplished that never would be otherwise. Yet, in following the injunction, discrimi- nation is necessary as well as prompt action. There are always, for instance, numerous things that it would be a fine idea to do immediately. The ques- SRIVIAL CONCERNS, "H _AS STRAIGHTENING OUT BOXES, ETC., WOULD SELDOM BE AC- CORDED FIRST PLACE OF IM- PORTANCE. tion is, Should the first one that pops into the mind at the moment be done homemaker has so many things to do that the one of greatest significance should be done rather than the one that might occur to her first. There are so many things of minor importance that might suggest them- selves! Indeed, it takes a wel] or- dered mind not to find the lesser rather than the greatest being accom- plished unless discrimination is used when following the imperatively put hint. The competent person, whether her work pertains to the home or to other things, is she who weeds out of a mass of duties just the right one to do at a given time. To be diverted from this by remembrance of som thing that would be well to “do now, and to be diverted from planned duties by a chance thought is far from pro- ductive of successful accomplishment of important matters. Sequence of Work. The homemaker who feels the urge to stop and straighten out a box or a bureau drawer when she dis- covers that it is out of order, and fails to remember at the same time that the bread should go in the oven' just then or it will not be its best, is familiar to all of us. Do it now means attention to the bread first. Do it next refers to fixing the box or drawer. Then the order of impor- tance is presumed. And s0 it is well to couple the idea of do it next with that of do it no and the sequence will work wonder Always when doing the thing of sig:. nificance the mind can be working on the problem involved in the phrase “do it mext” When its turn comes and it is being done at the psycholo- gical moment of “now” there is al- ways another matter that should slip into the cog of “next” in the w time. It may be work or it may pleasure, but in this order of things the sequence can be well followed. Pleasures Included. Do not forget that pleasures have their place in the routine of events in A day or a week, for unless we mingle the two we shall find that life is dull and we ourselves partake of the same quality, since all work and no play makes Jill a weary homemaker quite as much as it makes Jack a dull boy.

Nancy's visit to the chiropodist fur- nished her with much foed for thought. He spoke of the American women's misuse of their feet. He said they did not wear the right shoes, did not rest their feet, did not begin to give them the care they lavished on their hands, although their feet were called on for 10 times as much service as_hands. He advised daily bathing in water softened with a little baking soda. The skin between toes should be carefully wiped after bathing. The nails should be kept cut with a slight curve toward the middle., A dusting powder relieves tired feet. So do lounging slippers. He advised resting the feet on a footstool, especially after a tiring shopping trip or a day’s work. Then Nancy talked with the sales- woman at the hosiery counter. She advised daily washing of silk stock- ingt Lukewarm water, mild soap- ,suds and squeezing and patting, never wringing ruthlessly, were advised. If the stockings were not washed daily they should be kept in a separate laun- dry bag-and not thrown in with the general wash. Nancy patted herself on the back for this was her regular procedure. Veal or Lamb Kidneys. Soak the kidneys in cold water for one-half an hour. Pare, slice and par- boil for 10 minutes. For six kidneys melt two tablespoonfuls of fat and brown the kidneys in it. Sprinkle one and one-half tablespoonfuls of flour, add three-fourths cupful of stock, tomato juice or boiling water, stirring in one-fourth teaspoonful of salt and a little pepper, and cook for about five minutes, or until the gravy thick- ens, If the gravy is made with stock or water, a tablespoonful of lemon Juice improves the flavor. it i Woman Police Doctor Chosen. Mrs. Nesta H. Wells, a graduate of Manchester University, is Britain's first woman police doctor. She was recently appointed to the office by the Manchester watch committee of Man- chester, England, following a decision of the committee that the examina- tion of woman suspects or prisoners should be conducted by a woman rather than a man.

He couldn't think of anything but the handsome young rabbit he had heard about and the fact that little Mrs. Peter down in the dear Old Briar- patch appeared to be getting along very nicely without him. In short Peter was jealous. He wouldn't have admitted 1t. Goodness, no! But jeal- ons people never will admit they are Jenlous, Peter looked disreputable. You see he hadn't taken care of himself up there in the Old Pasture. He had spent o much of his time running about vecklesely and trying to forget little Mrs. Peter that ho had neglected his personal appearance. But, then, Peter never was one to spend a great deal of time on his personal appearance. Pres- ently now Peter began to fix himself up. There were burrs in his coat. He bit those out. The fact s, without really admitting it to himself, Peter was thinking about going back to the dear Old Briar-patch. It was true that little Mrs. Peter had told him when he left that he needn't come back, and Peter hadn't intended to go back. No, sir, Peter hadn't intended to go back. He had said to himself that if Mrs. Peter wouldn't come with him he never in- tended to go back there. But now things were different, At that time he hadn’t known there was any hand- some young rabbit about. “The dear Old Briar-patch is rather big,” said Peter, as he sat talking to himself. “I know Mrs. Peter’s habits so well that I could stay in the dear Old Briar-patch and she not know anything about it. Yes, sir, I could keep out of her way. I believe I'll g2 down there and find out what is going on. I ought to be able to catch that fellow who's hanging around down there. If T do catch him he will be sorry he ever was born. Yes, sir, he'll be sorry he ever was born. I don't re- member Fuzzy at all. Fuzzy, you know, is the name that Poter calls little Mrs. Peter, who was Miss Fuzzytail. He went on with his toilet and when he found one burr that wouldn’t come out easily he bit at it just as it it were that other rab- bit. My, you wouldn’t have known Peter Rabbit. ‘All his good nature was_gone. “I'll go back there at dusk to- night,” decided Peter. “I'll take care to keep out ot Fuzzy's sight and I'll Just watch. It's going to be moon- light tonight and that fellow will be D. €, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1927. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS sure to visit the dear Old Briar-patch. Peter suddenly sat up very straight. A new and dreadful thought had hopped Into his head. Perhaps that other rabbit was living in the dear Old Briar-patch, not ju=t visiting it. “He may be living right there all the time,” thought he. “He may be using my private little paths that I took So much pains to make and sitting in my tavorite form. He may think the Old Briar-patch belongs to him. 1 guess the sooner 1 get over there and teach him a few things the better.

Even at that, T am of more than half a mind to try it.” So worked up was Peter that he actually went down to the edge of the 0ld Pasture, but, discovering Reddy Fox between him and the dear Old Briar-patch, he decided he would wait. After all, if that stranger was over in the dear Old Briar-patch he would be there later. There really was no hurry. (Copyrizht. 1927.) i For the Small Apartment.
