Fur Sc_a_rf BY LYDIA LE THESE SCARF BAGS FOR SUMMER PIECES IN GOOD CONDITION. Among the newer closet accessories of interest to the homemaker is the fur acarf container. This is something like * the garment containers, used for pro- tection of dresses from dust and from the wear and tear which comes with * friction directly against them when other clothes are hung up or taken dovm. Summer furs being particularly deli- cate, and the danger from the intrusion of moths more than at other seasons, * gich a container becomes almost a ne- cessity to the woman who is punctilious in the care of her wearing apparel. The |, advantages of the scarf bag more than make up for the trouble invoived in making it. A glazed chintz, plain or figured, is recommended for the purpose, as it is dustproof and offers good protection. 'The ready-made scarf bags open up the side. The homemade ones can also if the fastenings of like kind are bought. These come in strips. If these mechan- ical contrivances for completely closing are not available when the bags are be- + ing made up, snaps can be used instead, or the bag can open at the top only. WHY WE DO Why We Are Appreciative. There is such a thing as gratitude. Even animals show gratitudé. A dog will lick your hand, wag his tail and otherwise exhibit his gratitude for your giving him something to eat or for helping him out of a trap. ‘The horse, the elephant, all domestic animals and not a few,of the wild beasts, are not wholly devoid of a sense of appreciation for favors shown. The remarkable thing about grati- tude is that it is not dependent upon the size of the gift or the value of a favor. It c-pends on the attitude of the receive;.

My article on “Mute Inglorious Miltons” has brought comments in two veins, Some protest and maintain that anybody with marked ability will seek and find the way to show it despite circumstances. More agree that ability and achievement, are irregularly and uncertainly related. Many who suc- ceed do 50 on rather meager orders of ability; still more, on the other side, many who fail or half-fail are men and women of high endowment. ' The result isn’t a matter of chance or luck, nor that circumstances were against them, nor that they lacked stimulation and encouragement to bring forth what in them lay, nor yet that they had little confidence and initiative—though all are true in part, and especially the last—the more important point is that it takes a combination of several of these factors to bring about a career in which achievement and endowment, what you actually do and what it is jn you to do, are fairly completely matched, ‘The combination "just doesn't happen in many cases where it might, and so upsets the relation of ability and achievement. But what I had in mind as well in writing that article was to point out that superiority is real, whether or not it comes forward in such achievement 88 receives general recognition.

To make the top proceed in one of two ways. Take a coat hanger, of which the ends have been cut down to the proportions of the bag opening, and insert the hook end through the center of the circular piece of goods which closes the bag at the top. Screw a small curtain hook to the under side of hanger and suspend the searf from it by a loop sewed to the scarf lining. Another Method. Another way of making the top is to | cover a circular plece of cardboard or even a small metal or paper pie | plate, merely sew a loop of tape to the top portion of the material to hang it up by and sew a clamp, or a large safety pin suspended by tape from under side. ‘The completed top is secured by sewing it to bag tubing at a given point, and the sides held to it the rest of the way around by snaps or hooks and eyes. Fur scarf bags which cost the most to buy are lined with some kind of moth- proof paper; tar paper can be used, or | some whizh is redolent of cedar. (Copyrisht, 1929.) WHAT WE DO that the more we get the more we want. And in the end we are less satisfied than we were to start with. Another thing, the more you have the less you need and hence the less you feel the | urge of gratitude. | No one is wholly devoid of a sense of ; dependence and gratitude, but no two are equally grateful. On the whole the less a person has the more gratitude he displays; the more humble his station in life the more eager is he to acknowl- edge his dependence. There less chance for a clash of egos. We are grateful, then, in proportion to the need we feel of the things that 'l Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

Part of this disparity between ability and achievement lies in the tendency of uncommon clay sometimes to stand in its own light. Superior people are prone not to recognize their own supe- riority, and by that course to realize it.

LET CLOROX DO TH and«.jfefl MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Milady's Summertime Make-up. Every season has its bouquet of novel- ties to satisfy milady’s insatiable de- mand for something new and different. Some of these are soon discarded, but others persist. I think the vogue for sun-tan effects in make-up is estab- lishing itself in the latter class. It fills a long-felt want; by its aid milady can have & bétoming coat of tan to harmonize with the brilliant colors of her sports costumes for daytime wear and in the evenings she can use the | light tones of make-up that are required | by her fragile party frocks. While a sun-darkened skin spoils the effect of a dainty evening gown, it gives just the right healthy, outdoor look that has become so very modish at vacation re- sorts for daytime. Make-up in shades of tan is used exactly like any other kind. The skin is first cleansed thoroughly and a suitable foundation cream applied. There are various shades of powder base from creamy to brown. If rouge is to be used, which is not reaily neces- sary with this type of make-up, it should be applied before the dark pow- der is dusted on. Brunette or ocher shades are used to simulate natural tan. Of course, a light red lipstick is im- possible with a dark complexion, whether it is natural cr artificial. There are orange, brick and rust shades that are suliable. Sometimes a blend of two shades.

A Canadian business man has some- thing of interest to tell us about this home work evil: In the town of —— I am separate school representative on the high school board. Several times I have noticed your criticism of the school systems for allowing too much home work to be loaded upon the children. I am of the opinion that no home work should be allowed throughout the school year ex- cept in the month before examinations, and then only review work. Most of us business men do not work much longer than the school children under the present system and we would not think of taking our work home with us at night except under unusual cir- cumstances. If our business demand- ed it, we would get into another busi- ness that didn't. My daughter, aged 8, finished the first month in the Fall term in second lace in her class. The home work was ight in that month, but grew heavier with each succeeding month until in December she had an hour or more every night. She was fifth in October, eleventh in November and seventeenth in December, and at Christmas holiday she was all in and had little or no time for play. She picked up during Christ- mas vacation, and came fourth in January. Home work started in Feb- ruary, and she was seventh in her class for that month; eleventh in March, fifteenth in April, seventeenth in May, and in June she failed in her examinations, though certainly she is no dumbbell. During May and June she was unable to do arithmetic ques- tions that she had done easily in Feb- ruary, nor could she get the formula through her head. She seemed dopy all the time and did not even enjoy the litlle play she got. After two weeks' vacation she was able to do the arithmetic questions she had failed to do on examination, and she could do them without stopping to puzzle over them. The trouble, I think, is that the teaching staff of many schools are more concerned in play than in the pupils, and if they can make the parents do a considerable share of the teaching nights, that makes the job the easier for them. (Signed) One swallow doesn't make a Sum- mer, and one languishing child doesn’t prove that home work is a detriment to health, but the case is at least sug- gestive. I do not agree at all with my cor- respondent that children of that tender age should be given some home work at examination lime. The examination evil is little better than the home work evil—if the child has made a satis- tactory standing month by month there should be no question of the child's fitness for promotion. If the monthly class standing is not for that very pur pose, the whole thing is so much apple- sauce, I should say. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Silver Sulphid.
