BY MARY MARSHALL. Scant ounce of felt, less wool or even less silk, a few finger lengths of ribbon, perhaps a bit of wire, a yard or so of thread, a few bright stones—it matters A not much whether of glass, paste or | diamonds, an artificial flower or a bit of plumage. Such materials as these left to the devices of most women would produce a head piece which you | could not be induced to call your own, | but in the hands of an expert might be transformed into something that wom- en would strive to possess, and that importers would send across oceans and continents to obtain. The one product might serve quite as well as the other as a mere covering for the head, but in the difference be- tween the two lies that subtle some- thing which we call the art of milli- nerv. Within recent years the art of th milliner has been brought into more than usual prominence because of the Jimited number of things that she has had to work with. There have been no feathers, flowers. spreading bows of rib- bon or maline under which the dabster might hide her bungling. Every snip and slash of the scissors every stitch has been strategic. and the milliner has had to work in felt or fabric with that sure sense of form | that the sculptor uses when he works with clay, With many of the most able millinery designers this limitation of materials has been to some extent self-imposed—to a great extent it has also been imposed by the women for whom the hats have been designed. Disadvantages there have doubtless been to this frugality of material and amament, but the important result has been to raise the art of millinery to un- precedented heights. Whether you have liked the hats of the present decade or not I am sure you will have to admit that the best of them have shown a more subtle sense of line and form. surer modeling. than was the case with the flower and feather laden hats that went before. One hears much these days about the revival of flower and feather trim- mings and there js hardly an im- portant French modiste who has not | recently shown hats of this description. But always the trimming is subordi- nated to the line of the hat and never seems 10 exist apart from the hat as it did under the old regime. There are little toques entirely covered over with small flowers flatly applied. there are irregularly shaped hats of straw edged with forget-me-nots—wider brimmed hats with two daisies in contrasting tones flattened against the crown at one side. A fringe of glycerined ostrich | appears at the side of a smart tricorne, | two little quills are thrust through the | side of a brimmed hat or placed a | little to the back on the side of a draped beret. Milliners have much to say concern- ing the return of the brim and this is, I think, one of the most significant | millinery facts of the season.

In our present conscisntious effort to give our children the proper training, every step of the way to adulthood, are we overdoing it? Are we forgetting that mothers have rights as individuals, as citizens and as wives as well; and can one overdo training ficm the child's. standpoint? A mother asked these | questions, and I set myself tremblingly 1o a them. There are mothers who worship the state of motherhood. Having attained it. they devote themselves to it blindly. ‘We have in mind a middle-aged mother of two young children. She never moves from the house. She has so wrapped herself about with time sched- ules for naps, outings, feedings and temperatures that these have become the only tangible things in her existence, Instead of setting the small machines to a certain rhythm and then trusting them to hum along through habit, she feels that she personally must watch each revolution and sanctify it by her familiar presence. A very bad thing for the child, by the way, and undoubtedly narrowing and | mentally suffocating to the mother. To ‘ keep her sense of humor, an invaluable | asset for any mother, she needs outside | contacts and stimulations. | This is one aspect of overemphasis from the mother's standpoint. The mother who is penned too close in four | ‘walls, and is too observant of the child’s | every move, sees faults which should be ignored. Straining after perfec- tion, she makes matters worse instead of better, Many of the natural steps of childhood are bound to be annoying to parents. No child of spirit obeys blindly. No child of initiative but dis- covers that he has to exercise it at times in direct conflict with a parent, Exercising his individuality is a good thing for the child, and the mother she has for tactfulness and for know- | ing when the twig can be bent her way and when it had better turn in its own direction. If she feels that every stage of child- hood is a problem which she has to answer, she fails to allow for the transitoriness of many problems which | for straw hats this Spring and Summer. \ son” with them. Fortunately women do not wear straw hats and fur wraps as| largely as they once did—but straw | hats have enjoyed unusual importance at Winter resorts both here and abroad, | and the light-weight straws in pastel or | “natural” tones are looked upon as the | most effective complement for the ging- | ham and linen ensembles which are so often worn in preference to silk by well | dressed women in the South. (Copyright, 1929.) mothers find that all children are apt | to be destructive long before they lre“ constructive. Destructiveness is not “bad,” but merely a stepping stone to | the delights of constructiveness. Just | breaking a thing or tearing it apart| seon grows tiresome. It is harder and | also more satisfactory to make some- thing. Obviously this lesson had best be learned on toys. | Children cry for meaningless things | before they learn the joy of self-control. | They snatch each other’s toys before | they find that it is pleasurable to share them. To try to stop all of these nat- ural stages and force the child on to the next means conflict. Sometimes it is better to let the child absorb new ideas through imitation of adults and of older children than to try to “do” something to change him. ‘This does not mean that one should be careless or uninterested in the chil- dren and expect them to slough off bad habits and assume good ones merely through the process of growth. It does mean that the more one knows about children, the better one under- stands them, the better one will be able to judge if a condition needs actual training, or if merely by example the child will himself smooth off these temporary rough edges and set up better habits. Use a low pleasant voice when talking to a child, and a reasonable, not irri- table, method of handling him in emo- tional crises. Regularity of all founda- tional habits—of eating, sleeping and airing—carried on without fuss. sets the pattern for the child to follow. Once trained in the right direction, the moiher can gradually withdraw her support and let the child assume re- sponsibility for his own habits. and turn blind eyes to all other inter- ests. the child would be as destructive to his best development as it would be to the mother’s.

I ONCE attended a course on house- hoid administration given by a woman counted as a high authority on matters of domestic science. In the course of the term a lecture or two were devoted to the subject of moving—or, 2s this expert called it, “removals.” To begin with, she gave a list of things that d be done before mov- ng day. and first on the list was: “Cheose a new residence—" and member of the class put this im- t suggestion down in her note- 0ul 7ell, to any one who would naturally until moving day, when the vans were backed up to the front door, b2fore rting out to find where she was going mova tn, 1 suppos> that was a very cous bit of advice.

There are always men among them who would a lot rather stay home after their day's work—or at least think they would. There are busy housewives who sigh at the thought of having to get into party clothes after a round of housework. There are shy people who dread parties They look forward with dread fo the prospect of having to talk with strangers, or worse still, of being seen sitting by themselves talking with | no one at ail. They dread talking| with dull people and they dread even more talking with people so much cleaverer than they that they them- selves will seem dull. The clever hostess puts even such people at their ease, and makes them glad that they have accepted the in- vitation, and a little more ready to| accept the next that they receive. A good rule to follow is to give the shy folk and those who are naturally poor mixers somehing to do. At a fairly large party where hostess and host will have enough to do recelving guests and supervising refreshments it is always convenient to designate some one of the men master of ceremonies. But don't make the mistake of putting this job on the shoulders of the man who is naturally a good mixer. Choose a shy man for the job—one of the men who didn't want to come. Ask him_when he comes if he will help out. Tell him your plans for the evening. If you play cards, tell him the rules for the playing, the scheme for progressing, etc. Have these rules written out for his convenience if you like. Tell him how late you wish to play before refreshments. He'll prob- ably bs flattered and at any rate he will forget his diffidence in the feeling that he has something definite to do. | The shy girl may be asked to dis- tribute the tally cards and to collect Making Boy’s Ideas Fit Yours.

HE really modern, twentieth- century idea about the dog is that he should he housed in a kennel, that he should rest on his own blanket and bed of hay, that he should be fed on dog biscuits hound meal—and that on no account should he be allowed to sit on chairs and sofas indoors nor sleep on the foot of his owner’s bed. Regular grooming he should have, but administered with his own wire combs and dandy brushes. 8o if you still persist on petting and pampering some precious, perfumed, coddled lapdog—well, you may be “tres moderne” in other matters, but on that one subject you are hopelessly Victorian. ‘Undoubtedly England leads the worl in this matter of dog raising—while no- | where in the world are dogs so coddled and humored as in France.

Suppose 1 wanted you to go to sleep right after lunch and you did not want to sleep. Suppose I kept urging you to sleep. scolding about it. explaining about it. spanking and shaking and shouting about it, would you go to sleep? First, sleep must be welcome. Then it must be wooed. It can never be forced. Excitement drives all thought of sleep away. Fear kills sleep. Noise and bright light and sounds of activity about the house will drive sleep away. The stage must be set for sleep or sleep cannot appear. Then the body must be ready to go to sleep. The tired child will sleep un- less too tired. Most of the little chil- dren are not tired and feel no need of sleep. “I feel too rested to sleep,” protests one little 4-year-old. ‘These little children need hard exer- cise every forenoon.

Farmers wives, with practically no lentific | knowledge of dietetics whatever, tried to have foods of this staying quality | when they planned breakfast on days | when their husbands and sons would | be hard at work all morning in the | flelds. They tried to get their children | to eat something that would stick to their ribs before starting off to school | —otherwise they would be more likely | to bring down teacher’s displeasure by | munching apples in the middle of the | morning.

And every type |of food has a satiety value that could be estimated exactly if experiments were made. Foods may be wholesome and nourishing and possess a relatively low satiety value. Apparently this quality has nothing directly to do with either the vitamin or the calory count of foods, but it is something that every housewife shoud recognize in planning her daily bill of fare. Specialists on diet explain that foods that have high satiety value are those that produce considerable functional activity of the stomach and hence re- main there longer than foods that pro- duce less functional activity and are quickly passed on to the intestines. Bear in mind always that food that is quickly digested is not necessarily more wholesome or more thoroughly digested than food that normally remains in the stomach for some time. “She’s a good child" said Mary's mother complacently to the caller as they sat in the sunroom and watched 8-year-old Mary through the window playing with her sled on the walk. “She is veri obedient and never does anything without asking me first.

What's A Sermon for Today BY REV. JOHN R. GUNN. Seeing Good in People. Text: “Love—thinketh no evil—be- lieveth all things.”"—I Cor., xiii. It is love's way to think no evil of anybody. to believe the best of every- body. And if we would follow love's way in this particular, what a difference it would make. It would save us from hastily misjudging one another, and spare us the misery of many heart- breaking misunderstandings. Most of us are too ready to think evil of others, and to believe every evil thing we hear about them. No man is as good as he should be, but I like to think that every man is better than he is usually said to be. To say nothing of love, common fairness requires that we give a man the benefit of the doubt when we hear him evilly spoken of. Mark Twain said: “God hath put something noble and good into every heart which His hand created.” Why not look for that something noble and good in every heart? No doubt you can see in most people a lot that is ugly and bad, especially if that is what you are looking for. But if you are looking for good, I am quite sure you will see at least a little good in everybody. The bad may be so conspicuous in some that you cannot help but see it, but keep your eyes trained to look for the good rather than the bad and you will be surprised at the good you will discover | take away the appetite for the next | away the appetite than crackers and | ruit. | Most healthy, active persons should | eat something for breakfast possessing | fairly high satiety value in order to | prevent a feeling of faintness and hun- ger in the middle of the morning. |~ Children who habitually ask for candy between meals and seem to crave sweets should be given foods of high satiety value. In planning after- noon refreshments it is conside: to choose those that do not possess a high satiety value. Dishes served at the first of a meal should have a low sa- tiety value if you wish the diners to have an appetite for what is served later. Many of the foods possessing high satiety value are actually rather fattening, but in planning a redueing diet it is well to include foods that satisfy quickly—so that satistaction will come with actually less food. g: especially unsweetened fruit. Vegetables, served without butter, especially green vegetables. Salads. Potatoes. Bread, especially toast. Oysters and fish that is not fat. Mostsoups. Those passessing high satiety value ! include the following: Meat. Saes. cooked having higher sati Eggs. cool eggs g higl a ety value than raw eggs and hard cook- ed eggs than soft cooked eggs. Fat fish, such as mackerel. Butter and olive oil. Sugar. In choosing foods for convalescents and invalids it is sometimes desirable to choose foods that have low satiety value. If there is distate for food gen- erally these foods are usually more acceptable than those that are more satisfying. Thus we offer the conva- lescent unbuttered or very lightly but tered toast, orange juice, broth and soft boiled eggs. New-Fashion Obedience | the matter with ya?” he said turning | to Mary.

How Vt;“ ]Eeep Up | Clean Curtains HBR!'S an idea for keeping your lace or scrim, net or swiss curtains clean. Make one extra pair when you make the curtains. Then each week or each two weeks, as necessary, take down one pair of curtains that are begin- ning to look soiled, and put up the extra pair instead. Wash the soiled pair, and have them ready to put up at another window the next week, or the second week after, as necessity in- dicates, so that another soiled pair mav be washed. ‘Thus you always have clean cur- tains, you never have more than one pair to wash at a time. and you don't have that ugly spectacle of a curtain- Jess house for three or four days while the curtains are laundering.
