¥ WOMAN’S PAGE. Pet F ailings and Their Effects BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Generally the difficulty is something which even a slight effort would correct, such as the tendency always to forget one’s glasses when going out, or even when coming down stairs in the morn- ing. It was the latter which was the cause of constant perturbation in one household known to me. Never, so the story ran, aud observation seemed to bear it out, did the wife come to break- fast without making the discovery, after being seated at the table, that she had forgotten her eyeglasses. It was a thing of small importance in itself, but the repetition of this nettling circumstances at a time of day when one's temper is not apt to be at the best often was just the touch to start the day wrong. 111 feeling resulted which it took some effort of will to overcome. It was just because it seemed of so slight impor- tance that her failing was allowed ' to continue unremedied. The wife who would have done anything in her power to be of aid to her husband failed to see in this shortcoming, so distasteful to | him, anything worthy of real attention. High ideals and splendid character seem to pass by these lesser weaknesses and leave them untouched. It has nothing to do with one’s integrity that the front door key is always left be- hind and must be separately fetched. Nor does it mean that a sister is lack- ing in any of the sisterly virtues that she invariably calls upon some cne else for a_handkerchief when she is away from her home supply. But a kind of dislike is needlessly aroused by such “pet failings,” and part of the annoy- ance is that the persons offending seem to have no conception of how much some one else may be “put out” by them. The appeal of “Won't you try to do this or that just for my sake?” arouses a response of good intention. But the same slip is made next time and the matter becomes increasingly personal. “I asked you for my sake to re- member.” “Oh, you're always making a fuss just because I” * * * etc. * * * etc., and the trouble becomes something equiv- alent to a rupture in domestic peace. A definite measure can be devised as aild to many “pet failings” A cord fastened to the handbag, with the key attached to the end, will insure its presence when wanted.

The leading fabric for evening wear is velvet, either the stiff Lyon velvet or the transparent sort.

These include the gold and silver tissues, spangled and beaded Soft, clinging materials have not, however, been discarded. There are many filmy lace and chiffon evening gowns. Tulle is cut on tailored lines for mature women and is bouffant for the younger set. There is no single predominating color this year. One sees delicious pale snades of pink, rose beige, aquamarine, mauve-gray, as well as brilliant ruby red, sapphire blue and greens. Black is always popular as a foil to fair skin and sparkling gems. Crepe satin is an old favorite for eve- ning wear. Georgette crepe with a raised pattern in velvet is much used also. Whatever its material, the eve- ning gown must be draped or flared, tiered or shirred or pleated. It must be distinctive and-individual in cut.

Above Beauty MAN who has been married for 20 years and is still a husband in good and regular standing said to me the other day: “Women put far too much stress on youth and beauty as allurement for men. Thei’l seem to think those are the only qualities in the whole repertoire of feminine charms that appeal to men, and, especially, that the only way in which a wife can retain her husband's love is by remaining a perpetual flapper. “Hence the agonles of seml-starvation that nearly every middle-aged woman is undergoing in her attempt to attain a boyish figure. Hence the bobbed hair and the knee-length skirts and the hysterical screaming and jumping around of women who are trying to look young and act young and be cute and girlish after they are grandmothers. “It's all so pathetic, because it's so useless and so hopeless. No human power can stay the hand of time nor can any human ingenuity manufacture a synthetic youth that is a substitute for the real thing. When a woman has her face lifted and her hair dyed, the only person she fools into thinking she looks sweet 16 again is herself. “Beauty is bound to go. Youth is bound to go. And it's pitiful to think of the ngoni; that women suffer when they see their good looks fading and feel their high spirits evaporating and think that when these have departed they will have lost their rabbit’s foot and have no magic left with which to conjure men. “For, of course, the chief business in %fe of the average woman is to catch a husband and to keep him eating out of her hand after he is caught, and if, as she believes, the only thing that attracts him is her physical charm, then she is bound to lose out when these are gone. . v . ““QYUVE men are to blame for women believing that the only thing that a man cares for in a woman is her looks, because we are always extolling youth Agd ')Jlenuty."

She said it right out before everybody.” Which was too bad. Rosie was a very ordinary looking girl, sturdy, red cheeked, outspoken, seemingly not sen- sitive. The teacher had picked up a bit of her work and frowned upon it. “Goodness me, Rosle, I should think no longer his concern, but the con- cern of all the group and the responsi- bility that should be felt is not known.

A Sermon for Today BY REV. JOHN R. GUNN. Training of Children. Text: “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.'—Prov., xxii.6. Roger Ascham of Queen Elizabeth's day spoke of the men who gave much more to the man who took care of their horses than to the men who took care of their children, He said: “God that sitteth in heaven laugheth their choice to scorn and rewardeth their liberality as it should be rewarded, for he suffer- eth them to have a tame and well or- dered horse, but wild and unfortunate children, and therefore in the end they find more pleasure in the horse than comfort in their children.” Substitute chauffeurs and automobiles for holsters and horses, and these words are as applicable today as they were in the day when Roger Ascham first uttered them. Many men of our lime make a far greater investment of thought in their chauffeurs and auto- mobiles than they, in partnership with others who share wiht them the respon- sibility, do in the choice of teachers for their children. And as to the invest- ment of money, high-grade chauffeurs are frequently pald a larger salary than the best of teachers receive. Watch out, fathers and mothers! Better give a little less thought to your chauffeur and a little more to the teacher who teaches your children. Better invest a little less in automobiles and complain less about school taxes. And better give a little more personal attention to the training of your off- spring. Else the time may come when you will find more pleasure in your automobile than comfort in your children. The gravest of all responsibilities is that of training children; for upon their proper training depends the security of the home, the church, the State, and all that we hold dear. wefYIE T, REG.

Think of others if you would Find in life_the joy you should. , —Farmer Brown's Boy. Farmer Brown's Boy is nothing if | not thoughtful. He always has his eyes open for his little friends of the Green Forest, the Old Orchard and the Green Meadows. So It was that he spled Happy Jack Squirrel in the Old Orchard. He noticed how Happy Jack | was going from tree to tree. “I do believe Happy Jack is looking for a_hole in which to make a nest,” said Farmer Brown's Boy. “I believe he has decided to leave the Green For- est and come over here. Nuts are pretty scarce this year and I guess Happy Jack has decided that he’ll fare better if he stays around here. But he won't find a hole In any of those apple trees. No, sir; he won't find a hole big enough for him to make his home in. Now we’ll have to do some- thing about it. Yes, sir; we'll have to do something about it.” Farmer Brown’s Boy waited to see if Happy Jack would build a big nest of leaves, as he sometimes does. But that wasn't what Happy Jack was looking for for a_home. He could do it if he had to. He llked a Summer home of this kind and he could spend the Win- ter in one if it were necessary. But he much preferred to find a hollow tree, or to get inside a building. So he made no attempt to build a nest. Then Farmer Brown's Boy took a good-sized box, covered it with tarred paper to make it dry and warm, made a hole in 1t big enough for Happy Jack to use and carried the whole thing out to a maple tree in the dooryard. Up in a crotch of this maple tree he fastened this box so securely that no wind could shake it down. “There,” sald he to Happy Jack, who was watching from a short distance away, “there’s a house for you. If you are a wise Squirrel you'll take posses- slon of 1t before some one else does.’ Happy Jack didn’t wait for Farmer Brown's Boy to get to the barn door. In fact, Farmer Brown's Boy had hard- 1y turned his back before Happy Jack was up in that maple tree. First he inspected the new house outside. He went all over it. He didn’t think much of that tarred paper. He didn't like the smell of it particularly well. Thep he tried his teeth on it and he didn’t like the taste of it. Of course, he didn’t understand that that tarred paper was to make his house dry and warm and comfortable. Then Happy Jack poked his hez inside. For some few minutes he didn't venture in, but was satisfled just to| look around. Then he went in. Once inside, he forgot all about the tarred paper on the outside. That house was just the right size. It wasn't too big and it wasn't too small. “It's just exactly right!” declared Happy Jack. “I do believe Farmer Brown’s Boy put it up just for me. It couldn't be better. All I have to do to make it perfect is to make a good Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWES. Sensitiveness. One of the supposed besetting frail- ties that flesh is heir to is popularly summed up under the term sensitiv ness. This common expression Wi rants an important place in the psy- chology of everyday life. To start with a definition: Sensitive- ness is a disposition, pure and simple. By this I mean a tendency to be easily and fully disturbed by any and every external influence. So influenced, those who are sensi- tive begin to get nervous. Later on they may stampede and lose all orientation to their surroundings. At such times sensitiveness is to be condemned. But go below this common under- standing of the term. Sensitiveness is fundamentally a sign of intelligence. And by intelligence I understand an ability to see what’s going on. The god of nature carries out a plan whereby those of its creatures that are tined to live most and to contribute be highly sensitive. Superiority is not at- tainable without sensitivity or irritabil- ity. That's why geniuses as a rule suffer from insomnia, indigestion and sometimes insanity. In fact the much talked of “insanity of the genius” ap- gem to be nothing other than the owering-out of a highly sensitive set of nerves. The behavior of a genius is bound to be erratic at times. ‘The sensitive person is always on the alert. That's what causes great painters to see details in a landscape which the insensitive cannot recognize even after they are reproduced. A good art critic must be an artist himself so far as the nervous system is concerned. ‘The same is true for the superior musician. He senses tone differences that ordinary mortals never detect. Such information enables him to ex- ecute musical performances that the masses can ol partially appreciate, and can never imitate. And so it goes for every human endeavor. The great men and women are those who are highly sensitive to bed In here, and that I'll do right away. I never had a better home.” Out popped Happy Jack, and Farmer Brown's Boy, watching, saw him come hurrying back with some dry leaves which he at once took inside. Farmer Brown's Boy chuckled. “That settles Hiaoy UP IN THE CROTCH OF THIS MA- PLE TREE HE FASTENED THIS BOX SO SECURELY THAT NO WIND COULD SHAKE IT DOWN. that!” sald he. “I've got.a tenant for that house right away.” Happy Jack wasted mo time. hurried about this way and that wav looking for material for his bed, and it wasn't long before he had that house pretty well filled. “My!” exclaimed Happy Jack, “I'm glad I left the Green Forest!” (Copyright. 1928.)
