Trellis as Feature of Decoration BY LYDIA LE BRARON WALKER. SIRELLISES IN GAY TUBS, WITH BI THEM, ARE DECORAT! “Trellises can be used to great advan- tage in making the outside of the house decoratively attractive. These ele- ments of exterior aecoration can be made to order to exactly suit the par- icular space for which it is wanted, or es of various styles can be bought put up. 3 t purpose the tr to know S 50 that the shape is expecte may- be ¢ 1ged. Trellises_are used to diminish the | Teight of the walls of a house; to add | height to very low eak the monotony of upi ting wall faces; to conceal the fact of poor Gow arrangement whereby a lack of dec- orative balance is apparent; to hide a section of a garden so that a was hanging on a line, does not add too mundane gn atmosphere to an other- wise beautiful aspect. It would be impossible to enumerate | all the uses to which trellises are put, | for they vary with individual problems. | The chief object has not even been | named, that of offering a support for | climbing ts, such as roses, wistaria, | 'y, sweet peas, trumpet vine, grapevines, etc. ‘There was a time when a trellis .without & vine was con- sidered unfinished. Today trellise$ may or may not be supports for plants, but they express both beauty and utility when vine covered. A rose-covered trellis about an old-fashioned doorway The Sidewalks it BY THORNTON FISHER. We have received an amusing note. Tt says: “An unusual incident told out of church. The collection basket was being passed around last Sunday and as it came to a tall, slim gentleman he deposited a dollar bill in the basket and then with great nonchalance he took out three quarters. The usher gave the gentleman a startled and much surprised Jook and then passed on to the next row.” L Every now and then in our cynical moments we regard all the members of the human race as money chasers. Of course, there is nothing spiritually demoralizing about the pursuit of money. It is es- sential to our health and happi- ness. - Most men of wealth con- tribute to the weal of the community. Through their beneficence re- search laboratories, hospitals, colleges, libraries and other institutions for the education and re- lief of mankind have been made possible and acces- sible. The night before last we had an example of man's willingness, an even eagerness, to serve a cause without personal compensation. A local church staged a country circus and carnival. Its sponsor was the men’s club of the church. The money was to be used for church purposes. Most of the talent ‘was home grown, which made the show all the more entertaining. ‘There is nothing quite like seeing a friend in make-up and costume cavorting about in unfamiliar fashion. What we saw ‘was not visible to the eye. The thought persisted duripg the performance that a group of men had labored for many weeks to produce the show. They were men of business and undoubtedly the only time they had to devote to the enterprise was after dinner in the eve- ning. Their personal comfort was sacri- CAVORTING ABOUT IN AN UNFAMILIAR.

None of the members possessed histrionic talent and still the perform- ance would have to be given by the members or there would be no profit. A professional coach was called in to solve the problem. One night the men were assembled to listen to the coach.

Monday night found all ex- cept two members at the club. A Tues- day night the absentees turnéd up. “Where were you two fellows last night,” demanded the coach. The guilty men looked like hoys caught in a8 jam closet and began to offer eXcusss. “That's & lot of baloney,” exclaimed the coach. “We can do very well with- out you. Go on, clear out!” This was just what the two delinquents didn’t want to do. They wanted to be in the front row of the;chorus the night of the performance. .“Go on. Leave here so that we can get to work.” The two men begged to remain. Reluc- tantly the coach permitted them to do so0. He knew his onions. Thkey not only were faithful, but proved to be the hits of the show. The club president was a dignified gentleman who secretly longed to be the interlocutor.

The show was a huge success, and a few months later an ad- dition was built to the structure. After formance the coach called sers together and thanked them. This time he was most affable. “I want> you all to know,” said he, “that I am not as hardboiled as you may have thought. Without the strictest discipline we never could have put this over. If any of you feel that he has been offended i will offer an apology.” None spoke, “None of you gained any personal compensatiod un- Iess it was in the form of the conscious~ ness of something well done.

Mothers write me frequently asking that I work out diets for their babies who are suffering from eczema. I am going to tell you about two cases I have enccuntered recently, merely to indi- cate how impossible such a request is o fulfill, Baby No. 1 is 3 years old. He hes zemp and asthma (they ere usually due to the same causes). 2 has been un- der the care of succsssive physicians gnd has had his arms tied down almost from the first in crder to prevent scratching, and has been ‘salved with every oiniment any onz has ever heard of to heal the rash. This last Winter he had hundreds of scratch skin tests mat in an attempt to discover just what foods-in his dict vr what irritants in his environment could possibly be causing his distress. It was discovered that he reacted very strongly to milk, meat, chicken, wheat cereals, bananas, eggs, cream, bacon and butk howing that he had a marked intolerance for protens and fats ( of the commonest causes of eczema). In addition, he was most itive to cats and house dust and ept oh anything but bber pillow, or a cat came near him r he was in a dusty rvom, he suffered | all night with esthma. ng all thes: irritents from his environment and keeping him on ,(and you can see how lim- ited this would be), the child has im- roved remarkab!.

In cne week the child was hard izable, his face had It was discov- red that she still gave him too much milk, by impressing upon her that it was imperative for her to follow di- rections, if she wanted to cure the baby it was hoped that this poor infant would know some peace.

If overdraperies are desired they should be of plain material, such as voile, chambray or semi-glezed chintz. | A striped material might be used, but any with a floral design should be avoided, as too many patterns would not be restful and harmonious. ‘There are several combinations which would be attractive for these curtains and shades, A few are as follows: (1) Light green ground, fiowered chintz and apricot organdy with ruffles picoted in green; (2) flesh-pink ground, flow- ered chintz and hydrangea blue or- gandy curtains; (3) light blue ground, chintz and lemon yellow curtains with ruffies picoted in blue, (Copyright, 1920.)

He shook me so hard my teeth rattled, and told me that if I ever slapped him again he’would turn me over his knee and spank me. 1 realize I shouldn’t have slapped him, but' I beligve that beceuse of his superior strength he wouldn't be justified in spanking me if I should do it again. Am T right? Naturally, I don't want man who is too week to assert himself, but in the back of my mind I still have a picture of the Prince Charming who would forgive me for whaiever I might do. ‘What do you think? § SALLY. Answer: Well, Sally, fighting is one of the things that simply aren’t done in our best circles. As the ald melodramas put it, no gentleman lifts his hand to a lady save in kindness, no matter how much he would like to, and no perfect lady slaps a gentleman, no matter what the provocation. ‘These personal attentions savor rather of caveman days than the present. Nowadays, when a woman wants to punish a man, she does it with her tongye instead of with her hand, and when a man wants to vent his temper on a woman he doesn’t beat her up—he slams the door behind him and goes out. Both methods ¢f dealing with the situation have their points and perhaps the | caveman method was the less eruel, for a word ean hurt as much as a blow and wounds in the heart heal more slowly than bruises on the flesh. However, since you started the fight, it seems to me that you are a trifle t in resenting your flance’s comeback, and if you find it difficult to picture rince Charming who spanks his lady love. doubtless he finds it equally hard to visualize the girl of his dreams clawing him up. But what T want to talk to you abont, Sally, is the unsportsmanlike attitude you are assuming in taking refuge behind your sex, and in thinking that because i{t’,‘é ::;;p Lnl )I)n'.\rl,tli';le, \;t]enl?a l;n(elple;.clx'\‘sm;man you have a right to assault a man, at his chivalry should keep rom defending himself. 't that is playing it pretty low down? . AR Many women take the same attitude that you do and it has always seemed to me a mean and contemptible thing for them to do, but time and l:lh’l ln:ee women teke advantage of the fact that they are women to say insulting things to men, to do grafting things, actually to browbeat and bully men and do many things to men that they would not have dared to do if the men could have treated them as they would have treated other men under similar provocation, You can see this spirit illustrated in the way woman automobile drivers the yoad, in the way they will push in ahead of men who are standing in linehl:% a ticket office, in the way they will pre-empt a man’s seat in a place of amuse- ment and keep it, in the things they will say when they row over a bill. Above all, you can see it in the way in which so many women tr husbands.

One cannot ‘read much of the so- called “new psychology”—psychoanaly- sis—without getting the notion that hu- man beings are poor, miserable ures going about the world loaded down with complexes and repressions, The aver- age human being is pictured as wasting eway under the burden of his unsatis- fied “wishes” and uncivilized impulses. This individual is advised to scek the services of a nmychuanalyst and there confess his unholy desires and find out what they look like, It is contended that these repressed desires are so {rightful that when once their real na- ture is seen, they are forever put aside; the individual emerges from the office of the psychoanalyst a new person. There he has been invested with a new scnse of freedom, which will guarantee health, wealth and happiness. Let us assume that ali this talk about repressions is true. And it is true in lots of cases. But are not repressions the very things a lot of people like to have? Do not some people take pride in their illnesses? And may not some form of iliness seem at times to be & benefit to them? 4nd, finally, may not the pdychical repressions serve them a good | purpase? ‘There are, indeed, sick people and peo- ple sicik. A person sick is one who wants to be sick. The fact is that if some people were relieved of their self-begot- ten repressions, they would be forced to go to work—an appalling prospect? Their friends would quit inquiring about how they feel from day to day, and their employers would require that they do a full day's work. During the late war we found *out what this sort of hehavior meant, And in everyday life there is still a good ! deal of “soldiering” going on. People— that is, lots of people—like to “soldier." That is why they resist treatment de- signed to cure them. 1 (Copyright, 1929.)
