WOMAN’S PAGE. Full-Length Coat of Unlined Silk BY MARY MARSHALL. For the woman who can afford only one wrap for use all Summer long there s much to be said in favor of the full- Jength coat of unlined silk. For the elder woman whose figure is generously Sezpartioved the advantages of black | repeated trips to the cleaner. And a woman always looks her slenderest in black. Some of the new silk slips designed to be worn with thin Summer frocks have flaring lace rufiles 2t the hem. Tennis dresses with low-cut backs suggest evening dresses and the simpler sort of Summer evening gowns suggests sports clothes, and that makes possible a new double-duty dress made of wash- able white or pastel-toned satin, sleev less and low cut at the back, that is actually designed for tennis or evening wear. Simply by changing from sports shoes to high-heeled evening slippers, and by changing the tone of one's make-up, the clever young woman can go from late afternoon tennis to dinner without bothering to change. Never before were Summer clothes so | summery as those designed for warm- weather wear this season. The vogue of the sleeveless dress has been as- sured by its general acceptance at Te- sorts here and abroad last Winter, and the low-back sports dress no longer causes comment. Sports and daytime resorts dresses are still fairly short and always with comfortable fuliness about the hem, and there are light-weight WORN OVER LIGHT FROCKS, THIS UNLINED BLACK SILK COAT, ‘WITH ITS SCARF COLLAR, WILL FURNISH ANOTHER ENSEMBLE FOR WARM WEATHER DAYS. far outnumber its disadvantages.

And they will Your boy may be named George and you may give him a box of candy with & hatchet and cherry tree on it on the 22d of February in the hope that he will take after the Father of His Coun- and not after the devil, who is led the father of lies, and still he will on occasions lie. So there’s one way of dealing with children’s lies that doesn't work, and that is moralizing about it and holding up extreme and unnatural examples. ‘You may thunder and you may preach; may denounce and you may pun- h; you may theaten and even wash out a boy’s mouth with soap and water, or describe future places of torment with specially uncomfortable seats for liars, or call the police, or what you will, and you'll get nowhere. That has been done for generations with indif- ferent success. Children’s lying isn't that kind of & problem, and I shouldn’t be in favor of Such methods if they did work. For '» you cured the boy of lying and cast out one devil you would let in others and worse. Children lying is & com- plicated matter. Any one who tells you he knows just how to cure it isn't telling the whole truth. It's a first-aid step in the right direction to recognize that the problem requires patient con- sideration and the art of diplomacy. It’s & job for Job. If you know how to talk to children and have their sym- pathy and don’t pose as a superior and meet them and their problems on their own level, a good, sound talk now and then on the meaning and the meanness of lying may do a lot of good, but that 4sn’t moralizing. . Children lie to escape unpleasant ‘consequences. By making consequences too unpleasant you increase the tempta- tion to le. A lie is a deception by means of words, but it is just as much ©f & deception by means of action. It's the deceiving that is dishonest; it isn’t fair and square; it isn't being a good sport; 1t isn't & clean habit; it's low and ‘.’ne‘kyw, Y&un should be"nbnva it in or- er e your self-respect, quite apart from what others may think of it and the trouble your lies may give. But don't make it & counsel of perfec- tion. Don’t spread the notion that only the perfect child and the goody-goody child won't lie. Make it plain that every boy and girl who is just like other boys and girls will not be a lier, not an habitual llar. And don't spread the 4dea that if he or she lies once it’s all over and things can't be as they were before. Don't suspect children of ly- ing; ease matters in their favor. Show your disappointment even more than your disapproval. Once the child has lied, he is apt to Btick to it, and that complicates the problem. There are black lies and ‘white lies and all shades between. You must not make mountains out of mole hills, and yet must recognize that little liars grow into big ones. The habit must be watched and situations antici- pated; prevention is better than cure. Children who lie will grow out of the habit, but slowly. The clue is morale, something like a ‘workable ideal, a plane of living, a code linen, pique or straw hats to provide shade under midday sun. This week’s diagram pattern shows how to make a charming little poke cloche—a simple little sun_hat suitable for you or your daughter.

They were a prosperous and comfortable looking bunch of men. The subject of thelr conversation was a fel- |low citizen who had recently failed in business. It soon became evident to me that there was no feeling of sym- pathy among them for the poor fellow they were discussing. No allowance was made for his errors and bad judg- ments, to which they attributed his fallure. Some of the group spoke very harshly of him. They were all severe in their comments. As I listened to this conversation I | could ot but think how easy it is for | those ‘who are prosperous end going | along smoothly to mi ill of the man who has been overtaken by misfortune. I thought of Job and his friends, and how harshly and wrongly these friends judged him in the day of his adversity. It was these friends Job had in mind when he said “He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.” Said a man who had lost heavily, “I do not mind my losses so much as the cold attitude and critical comments of my former friends in business.” As Colton wrote, “Most of our misfortunes are more supportable than the com- | ments of our friends upon them.” All | this is said, however, for the consid- eration of “him that is at ense,” and to bespeak on his part a more friendly leniency toward the man who has had a turn of misfortune. Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. Folding chairs are always looked upon with favor by the hostess who likes to take care of a large number of people with the best possible equipment. One could scarcely expect to find 8 or 12 chairs of the ordinary type tucked away in a closet, for it would take a good sized room to accommodate them. ‘This same number of chairs in the fold- ing type, however, might very easily be placed in the back of a closet, where e iy i they would in no way disturb the regu- lar routine. Only a few moments would be necessary to get them out and place them in position for the guests. Built of material which may be Elumed, these chairs could be finished gay colars for the garden during the Summer, so into a sun room or living room in the ‘Winter they would lend » gay note.

But at his death in 1660 he was noted as a poet, and, above ell, as the monarch of the wits of Paris. A dissipated life, bringing him gout and rheumatism, had consigned him to a sort of wheel chair when he was only 25. But from it he ruled a famous |salon to which came all the merry- | making clite of the capital. | At 40 he met beautiful Francoise d’Aubigne, then 15. They married from pity. He pitied her because she was penniless and doomed to be sacrificed to the gay life of Paris, since no suit- able man—she was of gentle birth— Appetite , There are many people who feel and say that there is too much fuss made over food nowadays, that they eat ac- cording to their appetite and get along all right. Their argument is generally based on the 4act that our forefathers knew nothing #Mout the vitamins, iron foods and other nutritional facts that are so discussed today, and yet they lived fairly well. This is of course true, but it is also true that foods were sim- pler in those days and that the diet was made up of whole grain cereals with milk, butter, a few vegetables and a moderate amount of meat. Modern methods of food preparation have pro- duced highly refined foods which do not have the same nutritional value as the coarser ones. ‘Within certain limits people can trust their appetites so far as getting an ade- quate amount of food is concerned. But whether that amount is of the right kind and whether it supplies the nec- essary elements to meet body require- ments is another question entirely. The chances are that unless the individual knows something about nutrition that it won't. ‘This inherited guide, if we may call our appetite such, keeps the majority of people from getting too far astray on the question of food. We have inherited certain valuable customs in the mmanner of eating, the kinds of food that are best suited to use as a race and the number of meals we eat a day. But the very variety of our present-day food supply is apt to cause perversions of taste and appetite that make it nearly impossible to trust this same appetite to select a well rounded, balanced diet for us. Very often those vague, un- defined states of {1l health—nervousnes: irritabllity or listlessness—can be traced to the fact that we are depending too much on our appetite as a guide end paying too little attention to our nutri- tional requirements. Generally speaking, if we remember that the diet best suited to the average individual should include a genercus amount of milk, butter fat, vegetables and fruit, and a moderate amount of protein in the form of meat, eggs and cheese, and some grain cereals, we can be sure of training our appetites to be MAKE IT Slices of bread (as many as needed), Toast one side only.

I have two little girls, both of whom are under weight, and I do want to find cut how to build them up and take care of them properly.— Mrs. E. K. M. As the best possible medium for ob- taining the information you want I would suggest you getting in touch with the American Child Health Association, 370 Seventh aveaue, New York City.

I would like to know what vegetables are good for high blood pressure; also what cereals shall I eat and what other foods.—Mrs. O'H. Generally speaking, those vegetables and other foods that make up a good laxative diet are well suited to a person suffering from high blood pressure. The whole-grain cereals are all good, and, in fact, carbohydrate foods—that is, those containing large amounts of starch—should make up a big part of your diet.

I would, however, suggest that you submit this list to your doctor for his approval before adopting it, as there are o often individual conditions that have to be considered. o | Celer;Stimulates Lagging Appetite Because of its appetizing flavor and crispness, celery stimulates the appetite. It is rich in mineral salts and vitamins and has, therefore, somewhat of a tonic action. In addition it contains a large amount of cellulose or roughage which makes it valuable as a regulatory food. ‘The actual fuel value of celery is very low, so that it can be freely used by those who are dieting for reducing purposes.
