FEATURES. 33 Sewing for Children Gives Skill BY LYDIA LE B JARON WALKER. “THE ENSEMBLE" EFFECT IS POPULAR FOR LITTLE FOLKS' CLOTHES. When a woman who has not been|semble” today, and the making of it| called upon to make her own clothes | is faced with the necessity of making not only her own, but those of the little ones who may be in the family, the problem at first looks staggering. Like all new ventures, however, it has its interesting side as a domestic ad- venture, and should be regarded as such. ‘If experience is totally lacking in this line, and cutting into new cloth on a large scale something of a hazard, the making of miniature garments offers much valuable experience as well as practical results. A little girl to dress is not so greatly different from a grown-up one, in_ that the fitting of sleeves, the cutting of col- lars, the finishing of seams, etc., are much the same in both. Even the term “‘ensemble” has come to apply to a small child’s wardrobe as well as that of her seniors. A 3-year-old girl may wear an “en- may assist the mother to the making of a morg elaborate one for herself. Such a tiny costume consists of a cretonne coat with a plain dress worn beneath it and trimmed with the same ma- terial. A collar, some pockets and a band of trimming are sufficient to Jjustify the name. In selecting the material for the lit- tle girl's “ensemble” it should be re- membered that a small figure in the pattern of the goods is the most appro- priate. Chintzes may be employed, but call for a lining, though the cretonne does not. because of its having more body. The patterns on the latter ma- terial are of desirable size. The dress part of the ensemble Is made of some sheer goods, such as lawn, dotted muslin or linen. It is possible to reverse the scheme, have the dress itself of the figured goods and the coat of the plain material with figured trimmings. (Copyright, 1929.) WORLD FAMOUS STORIES THE LANDLADY. By CHARLES DICKENS. (Charles Dickens 181 X a British Povelist, _author of +Plckwick Papers,” “David Copperfield,” “Oliver Twist,” etc.). A low tap wes heard at the room door. Mr. Bob Sawyer looked expres- sively at his friend, who had come to join in a bachelor party that evening, and bade the tapper come in. A little fierce woman—Mr. Sawyer’s landlady, to whom he owed slightly more than four months’ rent—bounded into the room, all in & tremble with passion, and pale with rage. She had probably heard of the forthcoming party of the two penniless (or nearly so) medical students, and thought they should have paid her instead of spending their small capital for the ingredients of cheap punch. “Now, Mr. Sawyer,” said the little fierce woman, trying to appear very calm, “if you'll have the kindness to settle that little bili_of mine I'll thank you, because I've ght my rent to. pay this afternoon, and imy landlord’s wait- ing below now.” “I am very sorry to put you to any inconvenience,” said Sawyer deferen- tially. “Oh, it isn’t any inconvenience,” re- plied the little woman with a shrill titter. “I didn't want it particular before today; leastways, as it has to g0 _to my landlord directly, it was as well for you.to keep it as me. You promised me this afterncon, Mr. Saw- yer, and every gentleman as has ever lived here has kept his word, sir, as of course anybody as calls himself a gen- tleman does.” Mrs., Raddle tossed her head, bit her lips, rubbed her hand harder, and looked at the wall more steadily than ever. It was plain to see, as Mr. Bob Sawyer remarked in a style of eastern allegory on a subequent occasion, that she was “getting the steam up.” “I am very sorry, Mrs. Raddle,” said Bob Sawyer with all imaginable humil- ity, “but’the fact is, that I have been disappointed in the city today.” Ex- traordinary place that city. An aston- ishing number of men always getting disappointed there. “Well, Mr. Sawyer,” said Mrs. Raddle, planting herself firmly on a purple ulifiower in the kidderminster carpet, “and what's that to me, sir?” —I—have no doubt,” said Bob Saw- yer, blinking this last question, “that before the middle of next week we shall be able to set ourselves quite square, and go on, on a better system, afterward.” | This was all Mrs. Raddle wanted. She had bustled up to the apartment of the unlucky Bob Sawyer, so bent upon going into a passion that in all prob- ability payment would have rather d: appointed her than otherwise. She was in excellent order for a little relaxation of the kind, having just exchanged a | few introductory compliments with Mr. | Raddle in the kitchen. “Do you suppose, Mr, Sawyer,” said Mrs. Raddle, elevating her voice for the information of the neighbors, “do you suppose that I'm a-going day after day to let a feller occupy my lodgings as never thinks of paying his rept nor even the very money laid out for th fresh butler and lump sugar that’s bought for his breakfast, and the very ( milk that's took in at the street door? | Do you suppose a hard-working and | industrious woman as has lived in this street for twenty year (ten year ove the way, and nine year and three- quarters in this very house) has nothing else to do but to work herself to death after a parcel of lazy, idle fellars, that are always smoking and drinking and Jounging when they ought to be glad to turn their hands to anything that would help 'em to pay their bills? Do you—" “My good soul” interposed Mr. Ben- Jamin Allen, Sawyer's friend, soothingly. “Have the goodness to keep your ob- servashuns to yourself, sir, I beg,” said Mrs. Raddle, “suddenly arresting her rapid torrent of speech and addressing the third party with impressive slow- ness and solemnity. “I am not aweer, sir, that you have any right to address your conversation to me. 1 let these apartments to you, “No; you certainly did not, Benjamin Allen. “Very good, sir,” responded Mrs Raddle with 1 politeness. “Then p'raps, sir, you will confine yourself to breaking the arms and legs of the poor people in the hospitals and keep your- self to yourself, sir, or there may be some persons here as will make you, gy “But you are such an unreasonable woman,” remonstrated Mr. Benjamin Allen. r saild Mr. I don't think | “I didn't make use of the word in any invidious sense, ma'em,” replied Mr. Benjamin Allen, growing somewhat un- easy on his own account. “I beg your parding, young man,” demanded Mrs. Raddle in a louder and more imperative tone. “But who do you cgll a woman? Rld you make that re- my heart!” said Mr. Benjamin Allen. “Did you apply that name to me, I ask of you, sir?” interrupted Mrs. Rad- dle with intense fierceness, throwing the door wide open. “Why, of course I did,” replied Mr. Benjamin Allen. “Yes, of course you did,” said Mrs. Raddle, backing gradually to the door and raising her voice to its loudest Raddle in the kitchen. “Yes, of course you did! And every- body knows that they may safely insult me in my own ‘ouse while my husband sits sleeping downstairs and taking no more notice than if I was a dog in the streets. He ought to be ashamed of himself"—here Mrs. Raddle sobbed— “to allow his wife to be treated in this way by a parcel of young cutters and carvers of live people’s bodies, that dis- grace the lodgings’—another sob—"and leaving her exposed to all manner of abuse. A base, faint-hearted, timorous wretch, that's afraid to come upstairs and face the rufinly creatures—that's afraid—that's afraid to come!” Mrs. Raddle paused to listen whether the repetition of the taunt had roused her better half, and, finding that it had not been successful, proceeded to de- scend the stairs with sobs innumer- able, when there came a loud double knock at the street door, whereupon she burst into an hysterical fit of weeping, accompanied with dismal moans, which was prolonged until the knock had been repeated five or six times, when in an uncontrollable burst of mental agony she threw down all the umbrellas that were so carefully stacked in the hall and disappeared into the back parlor, closing the door after her with an awful crash. So was routed Mrs. Raddle, and all because the innocent medical student, Mr. Benjamin Allen, did not realize that to call a self-styled “lady” a “woman” was an unforgivable insult, Apple Sauce Cake. a cupful of fat, add one cupful of un- spoonful of baking soda which has been dissolved in two tablespoonfuls of water.

Some day there will be in every com- munity of children a book place where children may go and read whatever book is on the well filled shelves. It will be a lovely place of sunshine and color. The books will have gorgeous bindings. The illustrations will*all be done by artists and the paper and type used in their making will be as fine as skilled workers can make them. There will be lots of sculpture about and a few fine rugs. Somewhere in the room where sunshine can fall upon it there will be a fountain. The sound of splashing, murmuring water belongs in the place of books always. The tables and chairs will be inviting; the right height and the best color, and. of course, the finest of wood. Bocks need a worthy setting. And what is to be on the shelves? Everything that is good. The only test I should have for the books that are to be there is that set forth in the fourth chapter of Philippians, eighth verse, “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue and if there be any praise, think on these things.” No better standard for reading than that can be found anywhere. I'll stand on that. Lovely things for children to read can mean but just that. Lovely things. High action, noble aspirations, charming adventure in fancy and fact and fun. Please, much fun for the chil- dren’s books. For fun, you know, is truly lovely. We grown-ups are too stodgy about this whole matter. We would have the children's reading a serious matter. What has childhood to do with serious matters that call for subdued voices, hushed steps and fine print? None at all. Bring on Mother Goose with richest illustration. Fetch along Non- sense Rhymes. Furbish up Aesop's Fables and laugh at the donkey and weep with the silly lamb. Give us Brer Rabbit. much of him and many times. Scatter books of verse about and put “When We Were Very Young” on the top. A heap of picture books, showing the old familiar rhymes and pictures, as “The Night Be- fore Christmas” and “Winken and Blynken and Nod.” There must be many maps of many kinds, for imagination takes long jour- neys and must have opportunity to stretch its wings and legs. And a cabi- net full of dolls, dressed like the heroes and heroines in the favorite stories, from Cinderella to Lady Macbeth. ©Oh, why yes, of course, they will read your favorites, but when they reach them, when they are fun. Not when you prescribe them. In this place of books, reading is as free as air, as life- giving and as exhilarating. (Copyright, 1929 - NANCY PAGE Needs Cupboard Space Consideration. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. If there was one thing above all others which Nancy was sure she wanted in her new home, it was closet space. She clipped closet pictures and plans from all magazines. She looked at the cupboards and closets in the homes of all her friends. One closet arrangement which pleased her greatly showed thought and ingenuity. First there was a shelf placed above the bank of drawers, and it was placed low enough so that a woman could reach it comfortably. On this shelf was room for boxes holding shawls and fragile dresses which would sag if placed on hangers. ‘The top of the cupboard space be- came a shelf on which were hat stands. Covers of transparent glazed tarlatan slipped over the hats. ‘The drawers were compartmented RS> . ; N/, SRS ) o \ V7 o % 35 = and held stockings, underwear, tiny lavender sachet bags, fresh shields and a small sewing kit and darning cotton. ‘The shelves beside the drawers were placed at a slight angle, with a small cleat fastened near the back of each shelf. The hecls of the shoes were held by this cleat so that the footwear stayed in place and off the floor. For her linen Nancy thought she would do away with the usual drawers and open shelves and use sliding draw- ers with cut-out fronts. In this way she could pull them out with one hand while her other arm and hand were holding the piles of fresh linen. A door with an easily grasped knob protected the linen cupboard space from dust. The drawers were pulled out and pushed in on well smoothed cleats. And below the shelves was a long drawer that held special sheets and cases for the guestroom bed. ‘When one has_guests one serves tea.

SALADA is fortunate in having the services of the best. "SALADA” TEA “Fresh from the Gardens” Complacent Bachelor Is Told: “The Most Con- spicuous Advantage Is That a Wife Is a Perfect Alibi for a Man.” MAN says: “Why should men marry? A bachelor can have all the feminine companionship he desires. He can have every physical comfort. He can have food cooked by a chef, and his buttons sewed on by a valet and he can have all of his money to spend on himself, and be able to come and go as he pleases without having any one to keep tab on him, and question his movements. ‘Well, brother, leaving out of the discussion the matter of love and the desire for a mate, which are the cosmic urge that drives most men into matrimony, there are various and sundry other advantages that accrue to a man from having a wife. The first and most conspicuous of these is, perhaps, that a wife is a perfect alibi for a man. Taking it by and large, she is the best excuse that men have ever been able to devise for doing the things that they should not do, and leaving undone those things that they should do. The first man who got into trouble laid all the blame for his downfall on his wife, and all his sons and grandsons and great-grandsons have followed his example even down unto the present day, until sometimes it seems as if the chief reason that men marry is to get somebody to lay their shortcomings upon. ]F,» married man goes bankrupt, he doesn't admit that it was because he was lacking in industry and thrift and business sagacity. Not at all. He says he was_ruined by his wife's extravagance. If a married man is a drunkard, he doesn’t confess it was because he had a craving for liquor and was a poor, weak creature, who hadn't the strength to control his appetite. No, indeed. He was always driven to drink by his wife. But the poor bachelor has to stand alone and assume his own responsibilities, and his sins are on his own head. Then a wife is useful as a protector. The bachelor is everybody's game and there is no closed sesson in which he is not hunted. Not only is every single woman stalking him down, but all of her married sisters are aiding and abetting her. Why, the poor creaturs can't even accept an innocuous invitation to dinner without finding out that it is a bait for some trap that has been laid for him, nor can he hold a casual conversation with a woman without danger of having to defend a breach of promise suit. ‘While as for the bachelor's pocketbook, every greedy friend and relative he has feels that he or she has a right to dip into it. Ladies taking up subscriptions rob him ruthlessly and consider that he should come across liberally for the Home for Disabled Cats, because he has no home of his own to support. Brothers and sisters feel that as he has no children to support, he should educate and dress theirs and pay for their adenoids and tonsils being taken out. But when a man is married his wife shoos them away. Next, a wife is almost indispensable as a social buffer. When a bachelor is invited to a place he doesn't want to go, he either has to martyrize himself and show up at what he knows will be a dull and dreary and ill-cooked dinner or a tedlous evening party or else wiggle out of it the best way he can. Not so the married man. He accepts the invitation with enthusiasm and then turns to his wife and says: “Get us out of this. Make some excuse. Wild horses couldn’t drag me to spend another week end with the X's and be pawed over by those brats and have to listen to their radio.” And when querulous old Aunt Sally, from whom they have expectations, comes on a visit, the bachelor has to drag her around to places of amusement and shout in her ear trumpet until he is black in the face. But when Aunt Sally comes to visit the married man, he is suddenly called out of town on business for the length of her stay and lea\‘res .Wfl.c tf entertain her. AND it is wife who has to write the home letters and remember the birthdays and buy the Christmas presents and send the flowers to the people who should have attentions paid to them and write the notes of congratulation and condolence and otherwise keep up a man’s family and social connections. And a wife is the best of press agents. A man can't go around blowing his own horn and telling how great and wonderful he is, but his wife can, and everybody believes what she says because they think that he certainly must be marvelous .if his own wife admires him in these days when the er is oftener used than the salve-spreader in the household. And a wife is useful to feed a man his cues and say: “Dear, what was that funny story you were telling me last night?” Or, “Do sing that new song. I'm sure Mrs. Jones would love it.” Furthermore, what better show window can a man have for his prosperity than to hang his wife with jewels and esconce her in a car that looks like a million dollars? And a wife is an absolute necessity as a safety valve for a man’s temper and nerves that he dare not vent upon his employer, or employes, or his clients, or his customers. Doubtless the reason that more bachelors have nervous prostration then married men is that they have no one with whom to pick a quarrel and get the rancor out of their systems, no one with whom they can act childish and who will pet them and forgive them and cajole them into a good humor again. Oh, a wife is good to help a man make money and something to spend money on. She is.good to make a home and rear children. She is good as a companion and a friend. She is good as a nurse when he is sick and a comforter when he is in trouble. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1929.) MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST. Fresh strawberries, Bran and cream. Baked eggs, bacon.
