WOMAN’S PAGE. Varying the Evening Accessories BY MARY A simple evening dress of black or beige or white may be worn again and 4gain without producing an effect of monotony simply by varying the acces- sories, many women adopt this lan not only as a matter of economy, it also of convenience. Buying new costume jewelry, a new BHAWL SCARF FOR EVENING WEAR MADE OF WHITE CHIFFON VEL- VET WITH INSET BORDER OF ‘WHITE LACE. scarf, slippers, etc.. is a comparatively simple matter. Choosing or having made an evening dress is always diffi- cult and doubly so for the older woman who cannot choose a moderately priced evening dress from th . racks and wear it without alterations. Then, too, the ‘woman who travels here and there and does not want to be bothered with much baggage often finds it a simpler matter to carry with her one or two simple ‘evening gowns and a variety of accesso- OUR CHILDRE BY ANGELO PATRI The Play Box.

They must sense it well in order to know its meaning, its form, its name and use. That means they must take it into their hands, handle it'any way they like, taste it, weight it, make 1t do its work. Of course, we cannot let children handle everything in the homse. Things we value would be spoiled. The child would get a very wrong notion. He might be hurt. Too much energy would be wasted on his part as well ss his mother’s. What then shall we do with this child whose growth demands that he handle things and whose environ- ment will not permit it? Make him a treasure box. Select some handy box with a lid, cover it with gay paper or cretonne. lers on it. Then put odds and ends that children like into it. The things you put in are to teach him color, texture, taste, smell, weight, temper- ature, use. That sounds complicated, but it isn't. A rubber doll, & ball, a bell, a bit of chocolate, a couple of clothespins, a well made tin cup, some samples of velvet, cotton, ribbon, wool, colored papers, a doll to dress and undress, & nest of boxes, a box with a lid that comes off ge glass marble, & tin bug that creeps, & tinker toy—any and all of these, given a few at a time, will do the required work. Don't make the mistake of putting in & whole lot of things at once. About three things to begin with are plenty. As he becomes familiar with these add others. Everything that comes along that is clean and free of sharp edges helps. A glove, a lock and key, a string of beads will occupy & child for many pleasant hours. Don't forget to keep freshening the box. Train the child to discover sur- prises there. Set aside a period of each day, & set period, keep the box in the same place, and the child will get the habit of occupying himself without the attention of the grown-ups. This in itself is a great accomplishment for a 2 or 3 year old child. The ideas of self reliance, of self help, of self suf- ficiency are well set. ‘Then, having provided for his need, have no compunction about telling him and her to kesp hands off the family treasurers. That, too, is an essential part of his training. It is always well 0 put away dainty and fragile things while children are growing through the hapdling stage. Forethought saves many en accident. Home Help. A child who gets along well in school, particularly.those in the early grades of elementary school, needs no home work. But the child who is not doing well ought to have a bit of help at home. It is difficult to give help to such a child unless you are acquainted with the program of work and the methods the teacher uses. Unless your work supplements the teacher’s there is con- fusion and the child is hindered rather than helped. Ask the teacher to tell you how the ehild is getting along at the end of the gecond week in a class. If she says there is a weakness somewhere ask her for an outline of the work and for the methods used. Ask permission to sit in the classroom to study the work and metwod. If you have a good back- ground for the lessons, if vou know what the feacher does and how she does it, how your child stands beside the others, you can help him far more intelligently. At the end of the month ask for a detailed report and once more check up Do not keep going to with the teacher. echool every day and asking about the child. 1t takes weeks for any change to show usually, so give the teacher and tko pupil time.

One might wear the dress once with a black lace scarf, again with a shawl scarf of chiffon velvet and lace, and a third time with no scarf at all, but with colorful costume jewelry. These shawl scarfs of chiffon velvet and lace are rather expensive, but not impossible to make at home. If you happen to have a piece of fine old lace you cannot put it better use than by using it in combination with chiffon velvet for some sort of evening scarf, the shape depending, of course, on the amount of lace available. The scarf shown in the sketch is made from a triangle of velvet—a square cut diagonally. The side opposite the right angle is finished by picot and the other two sides are appliqued carefully ; to the edge of the lace. | | ‘This week's {llustrated circular has been prepared for the woman who makes her own Chrictmas gifts.

NANCY PAGE Living “Room in Mul- berry, Green and Gold 8Y FLORENCE LA GANKE. In planning the color scheme for the new house, Nancy consulted with a spe- cial friend of hers, an interior decorator. ‘This woman did not say: “Let me do your house for you. I know what is gmart and good at the present time. Just leave it to me and you will be satisfied.” Instead, she came over to the house, looked over the furniture, gkturu and other furnishings which ancy had. She found out Nancy's pet colors, she studied her interests and hobbles. She came to dinner and studied Peter. After all of this she made_an appointment to go shopning with Nancy. Since her eye was traineid to color combinations and niceties of shadings and blendings, she felt she might help Nancy to do the most im- portant thing of all—plan a harmoni- ous, livable, likable color scheme. It was not period furniture, type rooms, nor expensive materials which interested her—rather a pleasant blending of col- ors in walls, rugs, carpets, hangings and furnishings. The living room scheme was mul- berry, mauve and misty green, with ac- cents of blue green and gold. ‘The woodwork was painted to match the paper, a soft dull mulberry. The same tone was in the pattern of the mohair which Nancy chose for the hangings. But the background of this mohair was a soft green, so soft it was almost misty in tone. With the quiet of the mulberry and the green, Nancy and her decorator knew that accents would be needed chintz, with mauve, blue green and gold as the predominating notes. Gold ap- boxes or bibelots.

Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. woman who assumes the role of step- mother and a heartache for the child who has to live with one, Mothers may have Iaj of pafience, but mothers are affectionate, while a step- mother tries to do her duty without that blessed lubricapt. One ste] mmhe?‘rumng with the roblem of a stepson who stole and lied, ept wanting sympathy she had such a problem to handle. She wanted to know, j“How can I like & boy like that?” without seeming to realize that her lack of affection, her complete blindness to the tremendous influence a mother’s love and under- standing have in helping a child to re- form and advance, was one of the foremost_causes of his inability to im- prove. Where no such understanding exists, the case is hopeless from both standpoints, the child’s and the step- mother’s. Another stepmother writes, “My little 3-year-old stepson is hard to make mind. He seems backward because he forgets things of value like his 1'1’“ and the days of the week which I teach him, though he talks a lot and tells everything he - sees. He should he sleep in the mx should he have a nap? The rel interfere and say a nap is too much sleep, but I couldn't stand him around all day. He has gotten on my nerves 80 that I can hardly hold myself to- gether.” Doesn’t that tell a lot? Would any mother think a child was backward because at 3 years he couldn't remem- ber the days of the week or prayers? Keep on helping him nightly with his prayers and make saying them a pleas- ant practice and not a test of memory! And nowhere can you find a child of this age who knows tomorrow from yesterday or this afternoon from this morning, much less the days of the week. And of what value would it be if he did? When he goes to school it will be time enough for him to learn such things. The helpful attitude for any child toward obedience is not a soldier-like snapping to obey when the command is given, but a realization that the parent is his friend, that he is pro- tected from mishap by obeying neces- sary commands and that this habit is one which he will have to continué through life. TFor parents are, after all, just the first contingent of com- manders to which all of us bow in order to peacefully live in a world ruled by law and order. But the first lesson the child learns is that we love him, that we want to make him h;p%y and secure and teach him how to live with us and with others. Without love the child might as well be in prison, surrounded as he 'h orders, commands, discipline, gs that come hard to small souls { just learning the way.

Great as BY J. P. During his exile in France Charles 11 lived a life outwardly decorous, but secretly dissolute. In this three-year period he is said to have been devoted to no less than 17 different ladies. He was playing tennis when word came that Cromwell was dead, paving the way for the restoration. Charles came back to London on a| flood of ularity, but, instead of ob- serving’ tggpevonl soberly, he spent his very first night in undecorcus amuse- ment. He never wholly lost his popularity, for he was a merry monarch, who loved to ramble demorcratically among his people, practicing easy familiarities. It must be admitted that he never did anything that ‘injured the poorer classes. Sir Richard Bulstrode said of Charles: “Had this King loved business as well as he understood it, he wouid have been the greatest prince in Eu- rope. “But barefaced licentiousness reigned in his court, Charles himself setiing an example of profligacy to the men and of wantonness to the women. Charles was pessionately fond aof the theater and of cards, The court play- ed cards on Sunday, and this, in a puri- tanical l%:. gave deep offense.

Armerer fell on his knees and drank. When he had finished the King began to drink. “Nay, sir,” interjected Armerer, “you must do it on vour knees.” Laughing, the king complied. Then the whole company did the same thing. After which, in a maudlin state, they began to cry for joy, and to kiss and embrace each other. ‘The mayor of London, becoming drunk at a dinner he was givirg for Charles, caught hold of the King when he got ready to go and swore he must have another bottle.

A young wife in a small Illinois town has asked me to give her a practicable budget for a family enjoying an income of $400 per mon#h. She has been in- spired by our talks on investments, and desires to accumulate a cash surplus that may be placed in worth-while in- vestments. We went to some pains to devise a budget for her, and suggested that she try it out for a month and adapt it to her particular needs. Our experience with budgets has been that no rigid budget is of any enduring elp. Families differ in their habits, their living conditions and standards, in health, in social obligations, religious and charitable interests, and so on. A budget that is practicable for ones does not work out with another at all. One family finds certain modifications necessary and another finds others es- sential to a working plan. ‘The main items of any budget are rent, food and clothing. Rent is al- ready known.

These will include life insurance pre- miums, taxes, interest payments on notes or mortgages, household and fire insurance and any installments that may be due on articles bought on time payments. What is left must provide for cloth- ing, entertainment, “operating expenses” and for some savings. ‘We believe that is about the best way to devise one's own budget, and be sure of a budget that serves one’s particular needs. All items other than clothing can be put on & monthly basis. In the case of clothing, budget the wordrobe of each member of the family for a year, and then control expenditures so that the amount named in the budget will not be exceeded. There is one impression we should like to correct. A budget is not neces- sarily intended to facilitate the saving of money. It is designed to enable women to get the most out of their family income. Some women cannot save ‘or can save little. They need nearly all, if not quite all, of the income to clothe, feed and shelter their fami- lies.

Answer—A great many young mothers | have the same trouble with their hair | and complexion that you are having. | But when you have regained your for- mer health, strength, weight and vitality I am sure that both your hair and complexion will improve. In the mean- time, you must make up your mind not to worry, but to take some time ea~h day to give yourself the care and atten- tion that you need. First, plan a| nourishing diet and include sufficient | fattening and strengthening foods thatl &mr body needs. Take some mnourish- g soup two or three times a day. Eat a well_balanced meal, including some meat, fish, chicken or meat substitute, potatoes, gravy, two or more vegetables, some milk pudding and raw or stewed fruit. Drink an eggnog during the day when you feel hungry and take a glass of warm milk at bedtime. Plan to lic down and relax two or three times during the day, if only for a few minutes at a time. Spend as much time as possible in the fresh air and sunshine each day with your baby. Give yourself a few minutes every night and morning to massage your scalp and brush your hair. Use the warm oil treatment before the shampoo. Divide the hair into strands and apply the ofl quite warm to the scalp. Use equal parts of olive ofl and mineral ofl plus a few drops of oil of tar or oil of pine.
