WOMAN'S PAGE. Bow That Will Not Twist or Turn BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. THE DIAGRAM SHOWS HOW TO TIE A REGULATION BOW OF TWO LOOPS AND TWO ENDS SIMILAR TO THE ONE SEEN ON THE PACK- AGE IN THE GIRL'S HAND. ‘There is a knack in tying even the simplest sort of a bow in whatever ma- terial it happens to be, from ribbon of the richest and widest sort to ordinary narrow bundle tape used instead of string to tie up packages, or the fancy paper tape that resembles ribbon. The latter has become one of the usual mediums for doing up Christmas par- cels. Unless it is tied right the first time, it gets rumpled and into such sharp creases that it has to be ironed out to make it appear fresh and neat again. The important matter is to have the bow straight. There is one sure way of making it so, and it is so simple that it is & wonder every one has not discovered the knack for herself. But by the many bows that are askew or aslant, it is quickly appreciated that this is not so. The trick is in using the upper length for the. transverse vertical part of the bow. Make the first loop of the bow from the length of ribbon (or whatever the medium) that falls below the knot. After tying this first knot it is easy to discover that one end of the ribbon naturally comes below it and one above it. The lower length of ribbon should be s little shorter than the upper one to insure both ends of the completed bow being even. If you take note of what is required of each length, you will find that the lower length is used for the loop alone, while the top length has to be usod to tie the second knot, as well as form the second loop for the bow. Therefore, extra length is neces- sary for this. The full method of tying a bow that of ribbon under and then over the right-hand length, Make a loop of the 1ibbon falling below the knot. This loop should be carefully formed and be approximately the size wanted in the completed bow. Bring the top length over the loop just above the knot. in such a way that the ribbon is right side out and fairly smooth. If the first knot is made by bringing the right-hand length over the left, reverse the order of directions given. The next step is to form the second loop, which is done by bringing the same length up under the first loop. Make this second look approximately the same size as the first and pull the loops gently but firmly to tighten the second knot just formed. In order to have the right side of the second loop come on the outside, the ribbon must be carefully turned near the knot as this second loop is formed. By so doing the twist in the ribbon is hidden beneath the trans- verse vertical line of the bow. A bow tied as described and as illustrated in the diagram will have both loops on a line and both ends fall- ing beneath them. It will not twist or turn. If the ribbon is stiff the loops will stand out well. To make a bow of two-inch ribbon three-quarters of a yard is required. Narrower rib- bon takes less and wider ribbon more. Now that the great gift season is approaching, these directions may be found especially useful not only for fashioning ribbon bows to put on articles themselves, but as a time- saver when doing up packages. Wrap- ping presents up attractively is a feature that cannot be overlooked or will remain straight is first to tle a knot by bringing the left-hand length slighted in this era. (Copyright, 1928.) WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO BY MEHRAN K. THOMSON. You wake up in the night and hear & strange noise. You are terrified and cannot_sleep until you find o.. what made the sound. This proclivi'y of ours to special fear of strange sounds is not confined to night noises, al- though the night sounds have the ad- ditional element of darkness to add to their terror. In the woods, at your work, anywhere, a strange sound startles .’ The start is a signal of quick mobilization 0‘: meet an wegyfiu;fi emergency. OQur savage ancestors not .'m’é' to be indifferent to strange noises. A strange noise is more terrifying than a strange sight, because you have no way of knowing how far_the maker of the noise is from you. He may be close enough to fi\mee upon you the next moment. other words, our faculty for judging the distance of sound is not nearly as effective as for judging distances of objects we see. This better lbtuth Jjudge strange sights gives you a better chance to run sway or to prepare for combat. We can judge familiar sounds fairly socurately by the known intensity of the sound. Sul you had never Pend a dog bark. You hear it now or the first time, and are terrified, because vou have no way.of knowing how far the animal is from you. The loudness of the bark is relative to the bark of a dog close by. And if you have never heard a dog bark at close range you cannot tell how loud a dog should bark. There is no medium -r basis of comparison. Strange sound cannot be accurately located, in addition to the disadvantage of not being able to judge its relative distance. This is very importan There is real cause for fearing a possi- L'e source of danger that cannot be located. For if you decide to run away ou might accidentally run toward it stead of away from it. And if you decide to fight you are compelled to strike blindly, not knowing where to hit. ‘The greater danger of strange sounds over strange sights consists in the de- fectiveness of the ear in locating sounds accurately as compared with the eye, which i~ fairly accurate. Strange sounds frighten us more than strange sights, because they strike the weaker parts of our defensive armor. (Copyright, 1928.)

SUB_ROSA BY MIMI Teaching Man His Place. A girl can't be pursued unless she runs, but in the grand mix-up of today you'll find both sexes in similar knickers run- ning along side by side. The modern girl is a pal, which means that the lollygagging courtship of ye olden days 15 as much out of date as a horse car. How fs man to be taught his place | when a girl doesn’t park herself out long enough for a man to play hide and- seek with her? When woman was dis- tant and liked to teach man his place, she could tell what he meant when he | moved over in her direction, for his | intentions were serious and there was a ring in his voics, if not in his pocket. But when you are chummy with a man now, you don’t know whether he means anything more important than a dance invitation or a joy ride. The famous frau of history had a way of making man go the distance before he could grab her. The cave woman made him swing a bat before she succumbed to his charms. Hero, which was a flapper's name, called out from the other side of the bank and made Leander swim the Hellespont. Brunhilde surrounded herself with a fence of fire so that the man who got her would be some fire chief. Juliet yodelled from the balcony with the hope of attracting a second-story man who could scale the trellised walls in a romantic fit. The big idea with these gay girls of antiquity was to make themselves seem scarce and hence desirable. Now when we are in evidence all the time and th: men can’t get away Irom us we're not so likely to be sought after. Ve crowd streets and subways and then wonder why the men aren't chasing us as _in days of yore. What man wants is some obstacle to overcome, for he's naturally a hurdle racer.

When girls are around all of the time and when they dress in Eub!lc for th: world, the way they might attire themselves privately for their genuine admirers, they can’t expect to maintain that good, old-fash- ioned halo of mystery. ‘The trouble with the women of the] day is that they are too obvious. When they were hard to find and as hard to understand there was that certain lure of the unexplainable. But now that we've put in a very definite appear- ance and show men what we are they don't seem to register just right. Man's real place is in the home at the head of the family. Now that everybody is on the run, it's hard to get him into the coop. Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. Plain glazed chintz takes on quite an air of superiority if carefully han- dled so that windows treated with it have all the dignity of those draped t. | with silk or satin. In the accompanying illustration is a window which would grace an in- formal room with all the elegance of its finer cousins in a richly furnished drawing room. The glass curtains are of a fine quality French marquisette in a rich ecru shade, finished with narrow frills of the same material, picoted on each edge. These curtains are put up in criss-cross fashion, which adds to the attractiveness of the window. ‘The overdraperies are of plain glazed chintz of a heavy quality (which has a rich shine) and lined with light- weight ecru sateen. From the top to the center of each side of the curtains large scallops are arranged so as to fall at the end of every pleat to which the curtain ring is fastened. This is a simple, different and very decorative touch. The pole and ringe are of wood painted in two tones, the pole being the same as the chintz and the rings and ends being in a contrasting shade, DAILY DIET RECIPE GREEN TOMATO PRESERVES.

OUR CHILDREN By Angelo Patri Seventy-Five and Ninety-Five. ‘Two brothers go to the same school. They are both in the same class. The elder one gets 75 by hard work and the younger one gets 85 without much effort. When the report cards come home father fingers his fountain pen and scowls at Seventy-five. “Here you are again, Seventy-five! What's the matter with you? Aren't you ashamed of yourself? Here's your brother, two and a half years younger than you are, getting 95 and you get- ting 75. Now,.look here! Don't ask me to sign another card for you with that mark on it. I'm not going to do it. Understand?” Next month Seventy-five looked at his card, and it said 73. So the boy slipped the card into the mail box and boarded a freight that was going to the coast, a long journey. “Where's Seventy-five?” asked father of Ninety-five. “I haven't seen him since he got his card. Maybe- he is upstairs.” R~ and by they found the card in the mail box, and then— It was several weeks before they found Seventv-five. He was sick and in the hospital when they found hix and took him home. “Why did you do such a thing, my boy?” asked his mother. “Didn’t you know that no matter what mark you “Yes, but you had to try hard to like me when I was only getting 75 and Jack was getting 95. I knew I couldn't ever get 95. So what was the good?” If a child is getting 75 or less and you know by test and measurement of his capacity that he can get more, be- gin to make him produce more. But are you sure before you start in that he is not really Seventy-five, but more? It has happened before now that a lazy child has been praised for a high mark and a hard-working child has been blamed for a low one. Before blaming or praising, be surc to know a little about the capacity of the child. Don't guess at it; make sure. And don’t say just out of your spinal col- umn, ou can do better than this.” Have a reason for saying what you say regarding a child's work and his effort to do it. ‘There are children who have to make a tremendous effort to get a passing mark. There are others who have to make no effort at all. The mark on the report card may or may not be a correct estimate of the child on the basis of his real power. That is a thought worth testing. And the child may not be 75 all around or 95 all around, but he may be so in spots, and it is well to know those spots. There is more to a report had you were still our boy and that v still 1~--4 you?” Rusty Has to Swim. The thing you have to do, you can: is true of bird and beast and man. —Old Mother West Wind. For several days after his adventure with Reddy Fox and Redtail the Hawk, as he was crossing the Green Meadows, there were few adventures for Rusty | the Fox Squirrel. He continued his Journey in quest of a place where nuts were more plentiful. Of course, he had some small adventures, but they didn't amount to a great deal. A dog chased him up a tree; a cat tried to steal up BUT WHEN HE LOOKED STRAIGHT ACROSS HE COULD SEE A GREEN FOREST THAT LOOKED VERY INVITING. on him. But such enemies he could laugh at. Fach day saw Rusty further from the Green Meadows and the Green Forest at Farmer Brown's. Sometimes he had an old stone wall to travel along. Some- times he had to cross open fields. Sometimes his way led him through pieces of woodland. There he always nwpred to hunt for mice. But at last Rusty came to a great body of water. When he looked one way, there was water as far as he could see. When he' looked the opposite way, there was water as far as he could see. But when he looked straight across, he could see a green forest that looked very invit ng. “I almost know that I will find nuts over there” sald Rusty to himself, as he sat looking across. “There just must be nuts over there. But how am I go- ing to get over there? I can't go around, for it would take too long. ?hh. 9ur, 1 do so want to get over erel” The longer Rusty sat looking across this lake—for that. is what it was— the more he wanted to get on the other side.

Then he would shake them and sit up with the two little paws buried in the fur of his breast ax‘;d gaze longingly across to the other side, At last his courage became great enough, or perhaps it was his longing overcame his fear. Anyway, he waded into the water and started to swim across. You didn't know that Rusty the Fox Squirrel could swim? Of course he can. Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel can swim. Chatterer the Ned Squirrel can swim. Most, if not all, animals can swim when they have to. Straight out he startec and how he did make those little legs of his go! The fact is, he made them go too fast. He made them go so fast that he soon began to grow tired Now, happily the wind was not blow- ing, so the water was smooth. Rusty F‘:ddled along, paddled along, and drew rther and further away from one shore and nearer and nearer to the other shore. By and by there came a time when one shore was just as far away as the other shore. You see, he was just in the middle of the lake. By this time he had grown very tired. His big, plumy tail had became wet lndo:udl dlrng “‘Oh, dear!” exclaimed Rusty under his breath. “I wish I hadn't tried to come across. Whatever shall I do? I can't go on and I ean't go back. What ever, ever, shall I do? I guess I'll drown. I wish I hadn’t left the Green Forest. I wish I had stayed with Happy Jack and taken my chances of getting food enough. I don’t want to drown.” Just then Rusty's nose bumped some- thing. It was a stick of wood. It wasn't very big, but it was big enough to give Rusty a chance to rest a little and still keep afloat. How thankful Rusty was! He got his head and his forepaws on that stick and there he rested. Meanwhile he was getting no nearer to either shore, but was driftin, down the lake a little. He still wishes he hadn't undertaken te swim across that lake. (Copyright, 1938.) Lessons in English BY W. L. GORDON.

No one single asset which a mother can bequeath to her baby is so impor- | tant to his perfect physical and mental | development as breast feeding. A | mother does know this, but the discour- agement of a crying baby and the fatigue incident to walking the floor with him night after night sometimes drives her to look upon bottle feedings as _her only salvation. If, in addition, she has the breast milk tested, or even expresses some of it and takes one look, she is sure to feel that it can’t possibly nourish her baby. Breast milk is not like cow's milk. Each contains the same elements, but in different proportions, and they do not look alike. Both are complete foods and suitable to sustain life, but one is de- signed to develop a young calf and the other a young human. Cow's “milk contains more protein than breast milk (because the calf grows more rapidly and needs more cell- building material), while it also con- tains less sugar than breast milk. There is more fat in cow's milk than breast milk, and it may be teeming with bac- teria, if not milked and handled in the most careful manner, while breast milk is practically sterile. An analysis of the mother'’s milk is ofian a mistake, for the absolute knowl- edge that her milk differs in any way from the average is not conducive to a mental placidity that will make the mother a good nurse. Suppose her milk does contain a high per cent of cream? An alteration in her diet and less feeding periods will help that. Suppose it has too little cream? There is no harm in making up this deficiency with cow's cream Suppose there isn't enough to satisfy the baby? One can always use com- plementary feedings until the supply is improved. One must be convineed that whatever its individual faults and fail- ings, it still remains the one and nat- ural food for infants. It isnot on' the right food and food at the proper tem- perature but the manner of its gettirg is essential to baby's development. Weaning a tiny baby from breast to bottle should be a serious matter, viewed from all angles: for there is often more at stake than the mother | un<erstands or realizes. NANCY PAGE || When Lois Eats Enough She Is Not Irritable, BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Loig had worked so hard in setting her rlew home in order and in enter- taininz that she was growing painfully thin. She fcund that as she grew thin e became nervous and frritable. Be- ing a sensible person she went to her physician. He told her she was doing too much, expending too much nervous energy and not eating enough. She had fallen into the bad habit of so many housewives—eating insufficient lunch. She had a good breakfast and dinner for herself and Roger, but she lunched on a piece of bread, a little fruit and a cup of tea. Dr. Howell stopped all this. He put her on a diet, suggested a half hour rest after lunch and certain body exercises. Here was a sample day's meals: Breakfast consisted of half grapefruit, bowl of cooked cereal with 4 cup milk or thin cream, 1 slice bacon, 113 slices whole wheat toast with !, tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoon marmalade, coffee with cream. For lunch she had 1 large serving cream corn soup, 1 large serving vege- table salad with 1 tablespoon mayon- naise, 2 toasted graham rolls, butter, Jjam and 1 glass milk. Her dinner consisted of broiled steak or chops, 1 stuffed baked potato, 1 large serving creamed caulifiower, 1 slice bread, butter, 1 dish canned fruit or cottage pudding with vanilla sauce, after dinner coffee. Perhaps you would like to know some of the salads she ate. \rite to Nancy Page. cate of this paper. inclosing a stamped, selt: addressed en asking for her leafiet on Salads No. 2 (Copyright. 1928.)

Registered U. 5. Patent Office. FEATURES. Death, President A A review of the lives of the wives of the Presidents shows the great major- itv of them moving over in the shadow of tragedy. An appalling number of them were invalids. Many ched the ‘White House only to die or to witness the death of their husbands, sometimes by assassination. Some were childless and any number of them survived chil- dren whose deaths also were tragic. Several did not live to see their hus- bands in the presidency. Ilen Lewis Herndon, the wife of Chester A. Arthur, who entered the White Heouse through the assassination of James A. Garfleld, was no exception to what has been almost a rule. Her first ~reat sorrow came when she was a girl in the death of her father. Lieut, Comdr. William Lewis Herndon of the United States Navy had a notable czreer, perhaps his greatest service be- ing his exploration of the Amazon River for the Gevernment in 1851. In 1857, under permission from the Navy, he commanded a mail and passenger steamer, the Central America, running between New York and Colon. In September of that year a hurricane sank this vessel three days out of Ha- vana, taking a toll of hundreds of lives. Herncon supervised the removal of women and children to a small brig which stood by, sent his watch and a message to his wife in Predericksburg, Va., stood by his ship and went down with it. One account says he “went calmly to his death smoking a cigar.” In the Winter of 1858, about a year after Comdr. Herndon's death, his widow and Ellen Lewis Herndon a9- peared in New York. The Herndons were, of course, prominent sccially Virginia. In New York they were well received, and Miss Herndon at once attracted attention bv her beauty and her lovely singing voice. She was just out of her teens. years old. Son of Dr. William Arthur, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, he had taken up law and already had made & name for himself. He was a splendid figure of 3 man, tall, handsome and fastidious in’ dress. A German journalist in this country described him as lcoking more “like an Englishman of noble birth than za American.” Arthur and Miss Herndon met, fell in love, and on October 29. 1859, were marpied in Calvary Church. It prob- ably was a concession to Miss Herndon that the Episcopal service was used. The marriage flourished under un- usual circumstances. The fame that Arthur had achieved to this date rested largely upon his legal efforts in behalf of negroes. It was he who won for them the right to ride in the street cars of New York. His father was an out-and-out abolitionist, and the young man him- celf was bound, of course, to range him- self on the side of the Narth in the disputes over the slavery question that coon were to precipitate the Civil War. Mrs. Arthur never forsook her allegi. ance to her native State of Virginia. She sympathized with the secessian moyement. Her relatives fought in the armies of the Confederacy.
