WOMAN"S™ Scarfs Which Match Nightgowns BY MARY MARSHALL. It is not a mere fad to provide match- ing scarfs to go with your nightgowns. ‘They are not merely pretty and amus- ing, these squares, triangles or ob- longs of crepe de chine edged with lace —tlllxry are useful and comfortable as well.

A young woman with an eye for the future wishes to know what will assure her of economic independence at the age of 55. She has decided that 55 is a good retiring age, and at that time wishes' to be able to sit back and “take things easy.” Economic independence i a relative thing. If you are a simple soul who is content to live in one room, eat three meals a day and read a few mag- azines a week for diversion, economic independence may mean a yearly in- come of $1,500 or less.

If you want to give some school or college girl a Christmas present that will have that characteristic of trick- iness that is sure to please her, if you are planning your contribution to some engaged girl's bridal shower, then by all means buy or make a lace-trimmed crepe de chine nightgown with a scarf to match. If you make the little set you will need no pattern for the scarf.| A square of the material edged with lace makes one of the sort that can be folded diagonally to form a triangle. If you are making two nightgowns of the same material then you might make triangular scarfs, since one square of the material will provide the two. If your material is wide and the night- gown narrow you may have a strip of material left after cutting that will be wide enough for one of the oblong sort. After all is said concerning fashion- able lingerie colors, flesh color or a very light pink is most generally admired and becoming. The new note is given by lace trimming of a pronounced cream or ecru. Sometimes black lace is used with flesh-colored crepe de chine.

Many women sacrifice comforts and pleasures now, that they may have them later in life 'when they may be taken at leisure. We do not dispute either their Jjudgment or decision. There are others willing to gamble a bit on the future who merely tide away enough to look after their necessaries in the Autumn of life. They do not contemplate either spinsterhood or in- activity. Economic independence for them spells freedom from care over suffering actual want. No matter what one’s views may be, it is highly probable that few of us would care to be forced in our dotage to do without the comforts to which we have grown accustomed over a lifetime. A light-hearted few will flippantly re- mark, “We don't to live “that long,” or “we’ll let the future take care of itself,” but deep in their hearts is a real impelling ambition to have suffi- cient ammunition to drive away the proverbial wolf should he appear at the door. Economic independence does not mean fortune. Few of us, relatively, have the opportunity to accumulate for- tunes. It simply means a place to dwell in, food to eat and clothes to protect us. This is within reach of us all in varying degrees, and it is onl; denied to those with uncommon ill fortune or unfortunate poor judgment. PR Uniforms for Rotarians.

MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. Halloween Lanterns. One mother says: At the children’s Halloween party the table is to be lighted with jack o' lan- terns made of grapefruit. This is the way we make them. Cut a round hole in the stem end of the grapefruit and carefully scrape out the “‘goody” after- ward to be used for salad. Then a goblin head is cut with a pen knife, eyes, nose and grinning mouth. Next fasten a wire handle above the opening. Drop enough parafin into the head to hold the warmed end of a small can- dle such as are used for cakes or Christ- mas trees. When these lanterns are lit the effect is very jolly and each child has a little gift to carry home.

They used it only for opening up clogged drain pipes, removing rust stains from washbowls, or for puri- fying garbage pails. They knew lye cut grease like a knife cuts cheese. They knew it in- stantly rinsed away, leaving broilers, pots and pans sparkling, sweet smelling. But lIye dried the skin of their hands. So in their cleaning water they depended on much soap, hot-water, steel wool and muscle. Tired backs and red hands followed. Then along came the efficient young women of today, determined not to let housekeeping destroy their looks or kill their joy in life. They looked at these eternally greasy pots and pans. They saw what cleaning did to hands and backs. They determined to keep their hands out of water. Buying big comfortable rubber gloves or long-handled mops they began using lye. In ten seconds now they swash clean a big broiler that took their mothers ten minutes of hard scouring. Red Seal Lye is their favorite be- cause it is 97% pure lye—the purest, quickest acting made. Don't let routine drag you down. Try this clever new way. Just write down “Red Seal Lye” on your gro- cery list, now—and tomorrow will end this diusgery forever. STAR, WASHINGTO! Chatterer Isn't Worried. Unlike his cousin, Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel, Chatterer the Red Squir- rel was not worried by the failure of the beechnut crop and of the acorn crop. He was disappointed, for he likes beechnuts, but he was not worried. Chatterer's storehouse would not be empty, even though he could not find a single beechnut or a single acorn. | When he was sure that it would re- ‘quire more work than they were worth to get some of the few beechnuts every one was looking for, Chatterer slipped away by himself. He went straight over | to & certain pine tree. | “Beechnuts are all right,” said Chat- | terer, “but if I can have plenty of pine | seeds and spruce seeds some one else can have the nuts. It's a good thing that I like these seeds and know how to get them. They must be about ready now to be cut.” . Chatterer ran up the tree and out on one of the upper branches where a number of. cones hung. Those cones were still tightly closed. They were not yet ripe enough to open., This suited Chatterer. He cut off every one of the cones on that particular branch, and he chuckled as he watched them YANK YANK NODDED. “OF COURSE 1 HAVE,” SAID HE. fall to the ground. Then he went to another branch and did the same thing. Not a single one of those cones opened, so not a seed was to be seen. Yank Yank the nuthatch watched Chatterer from a neighboring tree. Finally his curiosity got the better of him. “Excuse me, Chatterer,” said he, “but why don't you wait until those cones are ripe and open, so that the seeds will drop out?” Chatterer stopped work long enough to look over at Yank Ya in his turn, asked a question watch the seeds drop out of an open cone?” he inquired. Yank Yank nodded. have.” said he. “Did they drop straight down?” Chatterer asked. Yank Yank thought for a moment. Then he shook his head. *“No,” said , “I don't believe they did. They went spinning around and sort of flo ing and came down some distance away, especially if the wind were blow- ing. “Right!” cried Chatterer. “Now if I waited for the seeds to drop out of the cones I would have a pretty hunt for them, wouldn't I?” As it is, I am cutting off the cones. They'll all drop right beneath this tree. “Then I can take my time opening them and I'l have all the seeds right there. I am just using a little common sense, Yank Yank, that's all.” With this, Chatterer ran out on an- other branch and went to work on the cones on that. Those sharp teeth of his cut them off easily. Chatterer is a worker when he wants to work. No one can ever call him lazy. Looking across from the top of that pine tree he saw a fir tree with a heavy crop of small cones. “Aha!” said Chatterer to him- self. “We'll have a little variety this Winter. When I have cut off all these pine cones I'll go cut some of those ‘fir cones. Now, while his_cousin, Jack “Of course 1 Going— The old-fashioned cus- tom of home laundering is fast disappearing.

The Dominant Tendency. 1f it were possible to strip the dally conduct of the average human being of the products of civilization, what would we find? A set of what may be called dominant tendencies. Some would call these dominant tendencies original na- ture; others would call them instincts; still others in turn would call them urges, drives, reflexes, impulses, neuro- muscular units, or perhaps behavior patterns. The first and most important of these dominant tendencies has rightly beem called the “will to live” or “self-preser- vation.” All other tendencies are mere- ly parts of it. We rarely see it in the rough, 1. e, in its natural forms. It must have taken the race a few million years, at least, to tone this tendency dowp so that every one might have a| reasonable chance to survive. Life is now a co-operative enterprise. It used to.be a selfish proposition. Civilization is democracy written in high letters. Egotism, greed and chlcnneg are some of the names we use to describe the un- civilized aspects of the dominant tend- ency. In order to understand psychology in everyday life, a person needs to keep his observation focused on the “will to live” It will not do to think much about its sordid .aspects. In the end most of them are really virtues, because they follow nature's laws. The man who has lost a lot of the will to live will make fewer social mis- takes because he rarely does anything. But when the will to live drives him to attempt this and that, he will' get into traffic jams of all kinds, and, not notic- ing that others are traveling the same road, may accidentally lose his life, The will to live, regardless of its products, i3 a sign of life. The value of that life is a relative matter, dependin on the level upon which the energies of the will to live are concentrated.
