Even the accomplished aviatrix does not usually feel that a special flying ensemble is necessary. BKATING ENSEMBLE OF BLACK * VELVET DRESS TRIMMED WITH ERMINE AND BLACK VELVET COAT.

For rink skating very warm clothes are decidedly uncomfortable, and even for outdoor skating there is as much chance for discomfort from clothes that are too heavy as from those that arc too light. The experienced skalcr avoids every unnecessary ounce of cloth- ing, and frequently discards her coat in favor of a trim leather jacket or sweai- er when she is on the ice. The sketch shows a French skatig ensemble designed for the woman who wants to be suitably dressed for the sport and not unsuitably dressed for social engagements afterward. This week’s “Help for the Home Dressmaker” gives our diagram for a baby’s outdoor sleeping wrap. Several readers have asked for this, and now that doctors insist on letting babics take their naps outdoors on pleasant days every mother of a young baby should include some garment of this sort in the layette.

Of course by that it is not intended that the child shall want for any necessaries, but if it be a question of a new coat for mother or a prom guest for Harold, let Harold earn the ‘way of his prom guest. Actual expenses should be covered first. The child should be requested to make out an estimate of what these will be. Most school catalogues con- tain a list of the essential expenses so that the estimate may be checked up. After covering the essentials the matter of spending money may be discussed.

No boy or girl at school is the worse off for having an abbreviated allowance. Nor is it a sign of poverty. At many lead- ing institutions the children of wealthy mm.s are conspicuous often by their of means. Of course a parent may decide sim- ply to pay the bills, and actually give the child little if any cash to handle. Ii is an easy solution but not ordi- narily & wise one. Where a child will strive to save for an occasion or trip or greatly desired article of apparel or 000k, she will not feel so inclined when it profits her nothing to do so. Some- times in life, and soon after school, re- | sponsibility in money matters will be essential. Early training, including its few mistakes, will help greatly. After eve: g has been taken care of, it may be found that the needed amount is more than the parent can afford. The child should then be re- quested to pare the budget down to a sum within ‘the limit of the parent tc give. Nothing is more important in ar- ranging the school allowance than in- ducing the child to give sericus thought and judgement to its spending. The mere thought induced is the very germ of thrift. This is the opportunity of every parent with a child to send to school, it should be grasped. “There's just one thing wrong with the end of Stubby's story.

And I always feel that trees somehow escape their green prisons and emerge as their true selves when the leaves lie at their feet. It is a comparatively simple matter to know trees by their leaves. Even peo- ple who claim that they do not know one kind of tree from another, ac- tually are hetter foresters than they think, when you place such unmistak- able shapes as oak and willow, poplar and locust, maple and linden, before them. How good a woodsman you really are is tested by what you know of a tree when no friendly earmark of a leafy sort remains to the poor, bare thing. Suddenly the naked woods upon the | hill present a secretive, almost a hos- tile front; all is intricate, silver tracery outlined against the approaching snow clouds. In that infinitude of twigs where can any one find distinguishing marks? So baffling indeed it seems, that one can really only learn by learning the names of trees in the neighborhood of home during the Summer months, A familiar specimen of a tree, on your walks, becomes a personal acquaintance, remembered by the spot where it lives if in no other way. The following Winter stop and observe the same tree minutely. Note its bark, and whether its branches as- cend sharpiy. or at right angles, or droop sharply or in an arching fash- fon. Are its twigs thick and stiff, or slender and lithe, few or many, straight or gnarled? Quickly one learns the lacy outline of a beech tree with its smooth, thick trunk and the elephantine twigs of an ash. Willow twigs always retain some- thing reddish or yellowish about them, and the barks of many trees are un- mistakable, like that of the birch, or the sycamore which sheds its bark in thin plates, leaving many-colored splotches. This is not as unnatural as it sounds; indeed it strikes me as very beautiful, but I overheard some ladies at Rosslyn sorrowing over “that dread- mind.

In the days of courtship & youth and maiden think that they adore each other and that they could not survive if something hap- pened to part them, but in reality they think only of each oher in terms of possessicn, as something that will add to their individual pleasure and happiness. The man wants the girl because she is pretty and young and attractive and because she makes him Igecl big and heroic by looking up to him and jollying him along. ‘The girl wants the man because he flatters her and gives her a good time and feeds her upon the romance she craves. They call this love, but it is an emotion so weak that it evaporates into thin air when it is brought inlo contact with their self-love. Let thé woman lose her good looks and youth and sprightliness and be no longer able to entertain and amuse her husband, and how soon he tires of her. Let the man cease cajoling his wife and lavishing luxuries upon her, and how soon she becomes indifferent to him. The disappointment and disillusion of which we hear so many complaints in marriage is merely tie chagrin of those whose husbands and wives have not ministered to their egotism as they thought they should. Both men and women get the shock of their lives when they find out that those to whom they are married are intent upon their own happiness and give very little thought to that of their wives and husbands. S T}EN selfishness makes a rotten foundation on which to build a home. That is why so many collapse in ruins in a few years, for selfishness won't stand the strain of daily living, of putting up with each other’s faults and weaknesses, of sacrifices of hard work. The ave: young couple does not go into matrimony with any intention. of giving, but only of receiving. The bridegroom does not ask himself what he can do to make the girl he is marrying happy. He is only anxious about what she can do to make him happy. And it is the same way with the bride. She doesn't lose her beauty sleep trying to devise new ways of adding to her husband’s felicity. She is too busy trying to make him come across with all the luxuries and amusements to which she thinks she is entitled to have time to consider whether her husband is happy or not. 3 It is selfishness that is at the bottom of the eternal family row, which is nothing more nor less than a fight for supremacy in the home. Both husband and wife are determined to be boss, even if it precipitates a 30-year civil war and shatters the children's nerves and slays love and makes the home a place of torment instead of one of peace. A little unselfishness, a little willingness to sacrifice one’s own inclination and taste for the other, a little putting of the other’s pleasure before one's own would eliminate the daily breakfast scrap that leaves the wife sore and hurt and angry and sends a peeved and disgruntled man downtown. But the wife is so selfishly determined on having her own way about the color of the new car or going to the Jones’ for bridge or something else equally foolish, and the husband is so selfishly set on being the autocrat of his house that neither will give way, and they' battle their way to the divorce court. T is seifishness that makes husbands and wives disregard the little amenities of married life that are the ofl that lubricates the domestic machinery anc makes it run smoothly and efficlently instead of its creaking and jamming and breaking down. < 1t is selfishness that keeps & man from showing his wife the little loverlike attentions on which women set such an idiotic value, but which will keep a wife ting out of her husband’s hand from the altar to the grave. Every man knows t his wife craves a few compliments and a little soft talk and begs for them a8 a hungry dog does for a bone, but because it is easier and less trouble to take her for granted than it is to exert himself to tell her that he loves her and thinks she is better looking than any of the flappers, he lets her eat her heart out in longing for appreciation. Every man knows that doing housework and baby-tending is dull and nerve- wearing work and that his wife yearns to get out now and then of an evening on a little spree, but because he likes to spend his evenings in slippered eas: by the ;\rz )x\: never so much as takes her to the movies or treats her to a dinner at a cafeteria. Every woman knows that a man likes a tidy, well dressed woman. She knows every man likes to be amused and entertained. She knows every man hates to be nagged, and vet because she is too selfish to try to please her husband she will go sloppy and slovenly around the house, she will assail him as soon as he comes into the door with whines and complaints, and she will nag the very life out of him. So T say it Is selfishness that breaks up marriage oftener than anything else. You never hear of a man and woman who love each other better than themselves and who put each other’s happiness before their own tmumw;g;oe courts. DIX. (Copyright, 1930.)

Registered U. S. Patent Office. When houses were frequently white- washed inside and out? A Sermon for Today BY REV. JOHAN R. GUNN. Man at Wits’ End. “They reel to and fro, and stagger like & drunken man, and are at their wits’ end.”—Ps., cvii.27. ‘The man at his wits’ end—you know him. You saw him on the street today. Or maybe you saw him in the mirror this morning. Perhaps you are the man himself. A sad plight you are in. to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man.” How aptly these words describe you. Not that you have been having dealings with the bootlegger. But you are all mixed up. You can't see straight; you can't waltz straight; everything is in confusion. And you go reeling about, catching at one thing and another, like a drowning man catch ng at straws. You don't know whick way to turn or what to do. You are siniply at your wits’ end. How did you get that way? David speaks of certain ones “that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters.” Perhaps you got into waters that were too deep for you. The stock market, for instance. Perhaps it was what Thomas Lawson called “fren- zied finance.” Perhaps it was bad management. Or maybe you have had a run of unavoidable misfortune. But whatever has happened, the thing has well nigh knocked you senseless. ‘You think your situation is hopeless, that every chance is gone. But man's extremity is God's opportunity. “Then they—these people at their wits’ end— cry unto the Lord, and He bringeth them out of their distresses.” You may be in a pretty deep hole, but with God's help you can get out. Your last chance is not gone as long as His help is available. And His help is available always to the man at his wits’ end. WINTERTIME BY D. C. PEATTIE. When out of the West gray-black clouds come boiling, and the wind lifts its wings and sends the flakes like petrels flying past the window, we mourn for the dwindling coal pile, or we are up all night with burst water pipes, or persons break their hips fall- ing on the ice. ‘These are penalties of ‘Winter, and bitterly we complain of them. But our houses are, in effect, special_climates, made for our protec- tion. Even a city is a special climate, with its chimneys beliching warm smoke. The surrounding countryside is always colder and snowier, both in dogrs and out. 1 never cease to marvel at the jaunti- ness of birds when cold snaps come. In a real blizzard, junco and longspur and chicadee, all wear an air dejected, indeed. In the lee of some limb they crouch, looking very miserable in wet feathers. And, whrse, food is usually scarce for many days. Then is the time to scatter bread for them, and not bread only, but suet should be hung out, for many birds eat only meats. Five cents’ worth of suet will last sev- eral months. Y Leaving aside blizzards, which weight the poor birds to earth with snow and ice, these fat little fellows keep a jolly season of it. A bending, silvered weed stem, a black cap on it, with his feathers blown by the wind, and the sharp glitter of a January day—that's ‘Winter. It ought, in times of doubt, when worries are heavy on you and the season seems endless, to cheer each |. one of us a bit upon the rutted roads of life, just to hear the little Winter birds chirp out their tiny morsel of un- troubled heartsomeness. R e Steak for Two. Swiss steak is an ekcellent dish, but if there are only two in the family it is a very expensive one. In place of this, for a small family get two small pleces of any kind of good steak, flour each piece thoroughly, working the flour in with the tips of the fingers. Salt and pepper well, place a layer of sliced onions between the two slices of steak, sew together with strong thread, place in an iron skillet, and brown on both sides. ' Add enough water to half fill the skillet, cover tightly, and let sim- mer over a slow fire for one hour. There will then be a fine, thick gravy. This, served with fried apples, is de- licious. “They reel | FEATURES.

So_distinctive is it that caterers refer to it as “White House Bouillon.” ‘The recipe has been guarded closely more or less during the years. Each White House steward has be- queathed it to his successor with the methods of prepa- ration worked out by long. experience. This bolillon is the most import- ant feature of inaugural luncheons. It is also served at all state dinners, and | sometimes at teas. ~ ‘The ingredients and general methods of preparation are: Four pounds of juicy beef. One knuckle of veal, Two small turnips. One small pod of red pepper. Two small white onions. Salt. Six quarts of cold water. After the vegetables are prepared they are boiled with the meat for six hours, Both are then strained through a fine sieve. The whole is allowed to stand overnight and congeals.

BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. City and Country Types. City folks have always been a puzzle to country folks. A real ruralite be- comes very reticent when the “town feller” comes around. Even thoge who live in the smaller towns are not free from the same feeling whenever they go_to Broadway or the Loop. You may or may not have some time or other experienced the feelings I re- fer to here. These feelings, of course, are nameless, for the savants who know —or think they know—all about every- thing have not as yet got around to a scientific study of the psychology of these types. Rural and urban person- ality as a science is still in its infancy. In the absence of any very reliable literature on the subject. I may be per- mitted to guess at the psychology of these types of personality. My guess, then, is this: Urban en- vironments tend to make introverts out of people; rural environments tend to make extraverts out of them. %o put it all somewhat more harshly, the city dweller becomes egocentric or selfish in his attitudes; the country dweller be- comes altruistic or social in his atti- tudes. In a city environment a person is al- most continually surrounded by people. He is never more than a few feet from some one else. Perhaps a mere apart- ment partition is all that separates his body and mind from that of some one else who is also trying to ignore his human surroundings. The result is that your urbanite builds up a flctitious inde- pendence to compensate for something he actually does not enjoy. He crawls into a self-constructed psychological shell. On the other hand, the ruralite has many hours of isolation. His circle of human companionship is often very small. He does a lot of imagining how it would feel to have more company He develops psychological arms that reach out and beckon others to his cir- cle. He becomes an extravert.
