WOMAN’S PAGE. Hats With Scarfs to Match BY MARY MARSHALL. Just one Spring day of Summer’s heat shows us how inadequate is the ‘Wardrobe that does not include a plenti- ful supply of scarfs, for as soon &s a ‘woman is persuaded to lay aside her TWO MATCHING SBCARFS, ONE TIED CHIEF FORMING AN EAR TAB. coat she feels the need of some sort of neck accessory that will make the coatless dress seem suitable for the street. TFox fur scarfs have appeared in pro- fusion, worn hardly for warmth but on | warmer days. They are worn on one shoulder and hanging down ou MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. Pillowease Petticoats. One mother says: I always save embroidered ends of pillow cases for my little girl's princess slips. Even when pillow cases are worn out, these ends are almost as good as new. They make most attractive trim- mings for little petticoats; some are embroidered, some crocheted. For the the arm at the other side, they are pushed back off the shouiders and sometimes merely carried hung over one arm. ‘There are a dozen ways at least of wearing a silk scarf as an accessory of the street frock withaut a coat. The important thing is to have a scarf that really is part of the ensemble. Practically all the French milliners have made hats with scarfs to match and the idea is one that has been taken up with considerable enthusiasm here. Sometimes the material used for the hat will actually appear on the scarf. Perhaps s second scarf{ will be used to form the crown drapery of the hat. Sometimes the connection !s more subtle. Reboux shows a hat of gray felt with a band of ribbon of rose and pink and accompanies it with a scarf made of joined narrow bands of light pink, gray and lavendar crepe de chine. A clever hat and scarf set consists of a navy blue felt hat of the close bonnet sort, with an appliqued plume- shaped ornament of navy blue georgette applied with gold thread. There is a scarf of navy blue gsorgette finished round the edge with gold thread. For warm weather wear there are fairly wide-brimmed hats of straw. or hair—with brim lined sometimes with delicately figured georgette or chiffon and sometimes some of the figured lining material is also used to make a floating scarf for neck and shoulders. Nothing could be simpler to make than the sleeveless, one-piece frock de- scribed in this week’s circular. It may | be adapted to any sized girl and is ap- propriate for Summer cotton materials, | crepe de chine or other wash silk. The | disgram patterns shows precisely how | it is made.

And you liked to go 8o much.” | “No more., I don' want to go no| more.” ! “But you like school?” “I like school, but I don't like ‘left, |. left.’ So I'm not going any more.” “What's ‘lett, left'?” | “It's what you do coming dowm the | hall. Teacher says, ‘Left, left,’ and you 8ot to do something hard and I can't do it.” And tears forced themselves down the cheeks of the usually brave little boy. “Well, never mind. I'm sure if you can't do it Miss Bunny won't scold you and by and by you will learn and do it just right.” “No, I can't ever, ever. Anyway, it |isn't Miss Bunny. It's the old one. 8She stands at the head of the stairs and she keeps saying, ‘Left, left; take them back and make them do it over | again,’ and Miss Bunny takes us back | and says, ‘Now, children, please try hard and go downstairs right this time.’ And then she says, ‘Left, left, and we | gotta try again. And it's always me. | T can’t ‘left, left”” 8o mother, sorely troubled in mind, went to school to see what could be the matter. “It's marching at dismissal time. The principal wants us to march out in perfect step, down the hall and down the stairs and sometimes she sends us back because we break step. It is very hard for little children to keep step, you know.” “What? March down the hall and down the stairs, keeping step? Impossi- ble. Why should they? I don't un- derstand.” Miss Bunny looked pained. 1It's orders from the office. We have to march in step and Bobbie simply doesn’t know what it means. He is always out of step, poor child. “My dear madam, I believe in main- taining discipline in my school. When I went to school children could keep step and they did. If they didn't, they were drilled until they knew their left foot from their right. There’s too much carelessness nowadays, too much softness. That's why youth is going wrong. Of course, I insist that they keep step downstairs and I make them g0 back if they don’t. No, they can't run in the hall when they go on an errand. And they have to walk on their toes about the rooms. This is a school. ‘We have to have quiet and order.” I remember well teachers who made me walk on my toes, keep step on line, down the stairs, holding my finger on my lips as I marched out at recess, sit .with my hands folded behind me for an hour at a time, cracked me over the head with the handle of her um- brella, because she thought I had moved out of turn. She was pensioned long, long ago, and I forgave her. And here she is again in 1929. Can it be true? I thought the generation of scrap-basket supervisors, drill masters, martinets, was ex‘inct.

A NANCY PAGE Peter Page Junior Now Wears Rompers BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. ‘Wee Peter was almost 10 months old. He had graduated from dresses, slips or any feminine treppings and was proud as Punch of his rompers. He wore them in the play pen and man- aged to get all over it with ball and toys. Nancy had been training him ever since he was 2 months old and he had re- sponded nobly. She found that she could avold accidents if she put him on his chair every day at certain times. She felt that rubber panties were not ad- visable for continuous wear. They hold moisture in and usually result in chafed and irritated skin. In making the romp- ers for the baby she chcse the kind which buttoned at the back of the waist, as well as between the legs. This type made laundering and ironing an easy matter, and more than that changing of the child could be accomplished with greater ease. Now that Peter Page Junior was reaching the point where he wanted to pull himself up on his feet and stand in his mother’s lap or support himself by the play pen bars, Nancy knew the time of shoe buying had begun. His knitted and crocheted bootees had done up to the present time, but now she purchased shoes with more body in the sole. She did not get the heavy stiff- soled shoes. Those should wait until he should begin to walk. But she did buy shoes larger than he needed. She did not want to cramp his feet. in addition he was developing and grow- ing so fast that he would outgrow a pair of shoes long before they were out- worn, It your baby is a wee tiny thing you may want the lavette leeflet.

P. ‘The first general Co: of the American colonies met at Carpenters’ Hall in Philadelphia Monday, Septem- ber 5, 1774. e 51 delegates com- prised the most eminent men in the colonjes, but they were almost utter strangers. The magnitude of the pur- i pose which had brought them together filled them with awe. It was in such an atmosphere that the Virginians, George ‘ashington, Patrick Henry and Edmund Pendleton, excl £l taking glances with Samuel and John Adams, representa- tives of the already violently rebellious Massachusetts. A vision of- hitherto unsuspected destinies began to dawn upon them. “Here are fortunes, abilities, learning, eloquence, equal to any I ever met wi in my life,” wrote John Adams of the assembly. But he added: “Here is a diversity of religion, education, manners, interests, such as it would seem impo: sible to unite in one plan of conduct. ‘The diversities at once thrust for- ward. The colonies were not equally represented. How should votes be cast —by colonies, by poll, or by the in- terests?

N. ‘The advertisements of the various cigarette concerns are certainly inter- esting nowadays. You've noticed a war on between the candy and cigar- ette manufacturers? One cigarette ad says: “Reach for a cigarette instead of & sweet.” This concern, of course, is in bad with the candy manufacturers. Another cigarette concern is now cater- | ing to the candy manufacturers and the lovers of sweets by saying: “Take a cigarette and a sweet.” ‘This_controversy reminds me of a story I heard recently. Perhaps you haven't heard it: “The play teacher thought the children knew how to play blind man’s buff, She blindfclded one- little girl and when the child did not move, she asked, “Why don't you play?” ‘The child replied, “Where is the cigarette?” Now here's my opinion for which you asked, Mrs. N. If you are over- weight, or inclined to be, the advice, “Reach for a cigarette instead of a sweet” may be beneficial.

The supposiaion is that a man can't be in two places at the same time. Mr. Osborne, the former warden of Sing Sing, tells an interesting incident of the young fellow in prison who told him he was innocent of the crime for which he was doing time. “Why didn’t you establish an alibi?” asked Mr. Os- | borne. “I couldn’t replied tie con- vict, - ‘for at the very moment this crime was commnrd I was doing a similar job three blocks away.” We have come to use the word alibl as indicating any attempt to get out of a bad situation, to place the blame on some one elses, to pass the buck. Making excuses is the most common form of an alibi. alibl is to avoid embarrasment or loss or punishment in whatever form the offense in question calls for. The alibl also serves to prevent the | loss of prestige. We can't afford to be caught nappng too often. Our rep- utation can't stand too many lapses and mistakes.

One form of an alibi is denying that you did the thing you are accused of. ‘The other is to try wodualuy the act by showing that you did not have the facts necessary upon which to base your judgment. You try to show that upder the circumstances any one would have done the same thing. It we can't defend the wisdom of the act we try at least to defend our char- acter ard intentions. We say. “I didn't mean any harm. I thought I was doing the right thing” To assall a man’s motive is to assail his character. That is why we are ready to fight when a man calls us a liar, but take his criticism of our mentality more calmly. It seems to be regarded as a muchc graver offense to show a defect of character than & defect of mind and good judgment. ‘We make alibis to save our hide and | our pride.
