WOMAN’S 'PAGE. Game Made of Stringing Buttons BY LYDIA LE BARON ‘WALKER. One of the occupations that little folk enjoy is stringing buttens. This pastime has not been in vogue of late Years, as buttons have not been fea- tured in costumes. For this reason there is novelty in the work. It is recommended as a sort of “special treat” for mothers to offer on days when the regular plays cease to inter- est. During the Winter months, when children _are housed more than in ‘warmer days, it is a good plan to have | some such entertainment to provide | occasionally. It may be that stored away in some | old box or drawer are to be found old buttons saved because of their beauty or intrinsic value. Many of the old buttons were costly. They were an item to be reckoned with in dressmaking when they were in style. No wonder | little folk enjoyed and would still en- e and large buttons, with dainty littl their wide variety of colors and de- w ‘Thread it with cotton of large size—12 is excellent—or linen thread of higher number but no less coarse. Have the thread double and knotted. Show the youngsters how to catch one of the buttons securely by slip-knotting it onto the thread, after which the stringing is easy. The child may string those matching and search for similar buttons until all are found and threaded together. Or let the child make her own selections at random, and have a motley array | of favorites filling the length of the entire thread. Then when the button stringing it- self palls make a game of it. Have| each child select one button from her | assortment for the mother to tell its story. [Every button has one for the mother. She remembers when it was bought and for what sort of frock, and when she first wore the gown or coat, etc. Or, if the mother prefers, she can tell a purely imaginary tale about the buttons, weaving her story like a thread in and out and around about them. This part of the entertainment will be a favorite with the youngsters. Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. “Forget It.” A lot of people imagine that they can do anything they like * with mental | processes, with states of mind, with the | strivings and stirrings of the emoticns, especially those that belong to some ong else. Such things can't be con- trolled as easily as these people sup- pose. The human mind has its own Jaws, and these laws demand strict obedience. When you try to force ideas into particular channels, you may be sure you will meet with stubborn re- sistance. So it comes that our good intentions are often intentions and nothing more. Most of us have had some experience with trying to get some friend to be himself, by merely telling him to for- get his troubles. You might as well tell him to think of nothing at all, or to imagine infinite time or infinite space, or to lift himself by his cwn boot straps, or to turn any other im- possible trick. It just can't be done. 1 have always regarded it as a good- natured insult for some one to tell me to “forget it.” I find that I have after all very little control over my mental processes. . While I know that my thoughts are all my own. I find that they behave as if they knew their own business. I doubt very much if you can cheer a person up by taking him to a movie, or on a hunting trip. You are merely shifting his attention for the time being. Of course, this shifting of tention may relieve the situation some what. It may even be a salvation critical times. But when you tell a person to * get it” you are not shifting his tention from his troubles. You are only reminding him of them. You must do more. You must show him some logical reasons why he should “consider it not so deeply.” In that way you | help him to use his own resources, which for the time being are “sicklied o'er by the pale cast of thought.” And eventually he does his own forgetting through nattral laws which work from Joy handling and examining these MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. | HOI D, Calif., alnlul'! 23 (NANAY - 's a rustling in the ranks of the Chaplinites. = Charles, Spencer Chaplin is talking of serious| things to come, to wit,' Svengali as a| role for him in a version of “Trilby. “City Lights," e without talk on Charlie's , although the picture has ound ef is not yet jn the can.

Nancy’s mother was _entertaining some relatives from England. They | were near-nobility and for that rea- son Mrs. Lee wanted everything to be correctly done. Mrs. Lee's home had a corps of | servants, Including a butler. He super- vised the laying of thz table after Mrs. Lee told him what the menu was to be. Her menu was planned with the modern idea of fewer and better courses. Twenty years ago a formal dinner start- ed with oysters on the half shell, then continued with consomme, fish, entree (such as sweetbread croquettes), roast, two vegetables, frozen punch, game or capon, frozen sweets, bonbons, coffee. A dinner of this sort lasted for two or more hours and left every one filled to repletion with food and devoid of con- versation, Mrs. Lee's dinner started with canapes served in the living room with small servings of white grape juice and ginger ale combined. In the dining room the meal began with a delicious soup of chicken broth enriched with crisp, puff- ed cereal. Then came roast duckling with potato and almond croquettes, apple sauce combined with horse-radish and heavy whipped cream, broccoli and drawn butter sauce. With this course there were crisp dinner rofls, sweet butter, celery and stuffed olives. The salad was endive with Roquefort dress- | for the exhibitor is meticulously edited along these lines.

IDEAR MISS DIX—I am engaged to be married. We are vory much in love with each other, but it was only the other day that my sweetheart and I revealed our real ideas of marriage to each other. I wish to keep working after my marriage, not so much because I love my work, but bscause I do not wish to become domesticated and settle down and raise a family. I regard mar- riage as a glorious adventure, a joyous relationship, devold of unpleasantness, which should not rob me of my individuality. My fiance, on the contrary, wishes me to give up my work and be at home waiting for him when he returns of an evening. Perhaps you can offer a solution of our difficulty—A. B. C. Answer—T can offer one solution, and that is to advise you most earnestly not to get married while you hold such divergent views of matrimony. .Also I congrttulate you on thrashing out the subject before marriage instead of afterward, for divorces are expensive and messy things, and no one is ever the same after having had one. - Of course, your flance's views of marriage are the conventional and time- honored ones. He is marrying for what men have always married—a wife, a home and children. Your idea of a home is a place run by servants. His idea of a home is a place that is made a home by the thousand intangible touches of a woman whose househls :”l;r castle and who finds a joy in ministering to her man with her own hands. He wants to find a woman rested and refreshed and dolled up waiting for him when he comes home of an evening, not a woman who is nerve-racked and worn with working all day in an office. He wants to hear the patter of little feet and the babble of childish voices in his house. You don't want to be tied down with children, who will keep you from stepping out of an evening, and there you are. And even love can't bridge over the gulf of two such differ- ent id:cs of what marriage means. But, believe me, my dear lady, your theory of matrimony is something you have got out of novels, and that you will never, never, never find in real life. To begin with, even to think of marriage as a “gay adventure” is to stultify yourself. Marriage is not a gay adventure. It is grim, hard reality. It is duty. It is self-sacrifice. It is putting another's happiness before your own. It is sickness. And bills. And tempers And nerves, And conflicting desires and wills. And unreason. And it is a million other things that are not gay and not adventurous, but that are just plain, everyday living. Of course, the relationship between a husband and wife who love each other is joyous, but the woman who expects it to be devoid of unpleasanthess is certainly due for a bad disappointment. Because even the best of men have their faults and peculiarities, and no two human beings can live together without at times getting on each other's nerves. Also it is folly for any woman to expect to maifitain her individuality intact after marriege. If she does, it is at'the cost of her husband's happiness, for the good wife merges herself in her husband, and his interests become her lglteresta‘h;r':‘d she cultivates his tastes and habits rather than to try to force ers on 2 Whenever you hear any woman begin every sentence with you don’t have to ask if her marriag® is a success. She proclaims it from the housetops. Certainly the woman who does not intend to be domestic, and who intends to maintain her own individuality, is no more than honest when she serves notice on a man to that effect before she marries him. - And she will be well advised if she stays single.

A quick dessert can then be made by putling a layer of the crumbs about one inch thick on top of a jar or can of peaches or apricots, or any stewed fruit or berries, placed in a pan for baking, adding to the crumbs about half a cupful of sugar, a little spice and two tablespoonfuls of butter cut in small fl:‘eces.

This implied the choice of a commander in chief and subordinate generals. Who should be commander? The question was exasperating. Several patriots desired the place.

Some people scem to think that be- cause a woman is a mother she has ceased to grow. Nothing more is to be expected of her in the way of physical or mental or social development. She is settled for good and all. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Mothers do grow. They grow physically. By inches and pounds and powers. There is every good reason why a mother should grow and be proud of the growth. If sae can play golf and tennis, all the better. Swlmmingl and riding and hiking are as much her sports as they were before she became a mother and it is not only right, it is a mother's duty to make the very best possible body for herself. The healthier the lovelier, and the loveller he better. Mothers grow mentally by leaps and bounds. It is all very well to say you know a thing. Maybe you do. But when you have children all you thought you knew takes on meaning a hundred- fold. The simlest pfact, like eating simple food, takes on such implications such responsibilities as would freight a battleship. Simple rules of conduct suddenly take on the might and power of ritual and creed. Relationships that were trifles take on shades of values and becomes threats or inspirations according to their natures. Schools. Everybody knows all about schools until they are mothers. Then schools bscome a great unknown fleld fraught with awful possibilities. The lives of children are bound up in Mothers put their whole souls into the interpretations of simple well known things like these and grow and grow and grow. The mother of a fam- ily- is educated and broadened and deepened by her children. It seems sometimes that it would be well to train all girls for motherhood. At least they could get the simple facts well in their minds and lay the founda- tions for future growth. Motherhood is a profession and there is plenty of room for all the knowledge the world offers. The younger one starts at one’s profession the better chance there is for its mastery. It would bz good to teach all girls about home management, the care and feeding of infants, budget- ing, investing, selecunf a school, pur- chasing, diet for a family—anything that sheds light on the rea of the next generation in health and happi- ness. Starting out with that, the mothers can be depended upon to get the re- mainder from the collegs that mother- hood demands. Each child calls for special adjustment, special information. The whole of soclety is levied upon for help and sustenance. The mother har- vests the wisdom of thz race for the growth of her brood. And if the race has stored no wisdom the mothers set it to the task. “Find it for us. The children need it,” is sufficient to sot the leaders of science to work in shop and laboratory the wrole world over. Mothers are not only growing for themsclves, but they are foreing the world of men and women to grow along with them. .

Stubborn Soft Corn. Dear Miss Leeds—I have been so well pleased with all the helpful articles that I have received from you. Now, I am asking again: (1) Could you give me some home remedy for a soft corn on my little toe? I have tried all kinds of corn remedies, but nething seems to remove it. I also have gone to corn doctors, and one said it looked to him as if it was part wart and part corn. (2) I have one hard corn, also. What could you suggest for it? Thanking you for both past and future help, I am E. C. Answer—I am glad to know that you have found my beauty column helptul. (1)" At bedtime scrub the feet well with warm water and a mild soap; rinse in cooler water, Dry thoroughly, especially between the toes. Dampness and prespi- ration are very often th&cause of soft corns between the toes. Dust over the feet and between the toes with boric acid powder. Apply a little zinc oint- ment to the soft corn and protect it with antiseptic gauze. (2) For the hard corn, apply equal parts of sweet oil and fodine. Paint it over the corn several nights in succession; then soak the feet in hot water and lift off the corn. Be sure that your shoes fit prop- erly and do not neglect the nightly care of the feet; massage them at regular intervals with rubbing alcohol and use a good foot powder regwlarly. If your feet do not respond to home care and treatment I should advise you to con- sult & good foot specialist. There are different kinds of soft corns, hard corns, bunions, calluses, etc., and a reliable chiropodist or physician should be con- sulted and treatments taken regularly, if you would have comfortable feet. LOIS LEEDS. Hair Too Stiff to Comb. Dear Miss Leeds—My hair is so stiff that I cannot comb it as I would like to. I wonder if you could tell me of some solution that I could make and use to form ringlets and make them lie properly on my forehead? DAILY READER. Answer—The stiffness of your hair is likely caused by its belnf too dry. Perhaps you shampoo it too uently. Once every two weeks is usually suf- ficlent for dry hair when the scalp is massaged and the hair brushed well each day. When shampooing your hatr, use soft water and a mild liquid sham- Poo mixture, such as cocoanut oll, olive oil, liquid tar soap or pure castile soap shaved and mell into & jelly. After lhlmp:&ng your Lflr and rinsing it free soap, as a final sponful of olive oll or white oll to one quart of water. Dry be- tween warm towels, glve your hair and scalp the warm- oll treatment, leaving the oil on over h Be sure to brush your hair regularly every night and morning, as there is nothing that will make the hair glossier and give it such a healthy sheen as this regular brushing every night and morning. Use a clean hair- brush with fairly long bristles that will penetrate through the hair; brush hair underneath also. The following curling lotion may help you to get ringlets to stay in place: Three drams quince seed or flax- seed, 1 ounce cologhe water, 12 drops oil of cloves, 12 drops ofl of lavender. Soak the seed in one pint of hot water for several hours, then strain and add the resulting mucilage the cologne water, to which the perfume and ol have been added. Apply to the hair with a clean brush and then form the 'waves, curls or ringlets with your comb and fingers. However, do not look for immediate results, as it is difficult to get stiff hair to curl or wave.

Analyzing simply means thinking about a situation in a clear, understanding and coherent way. In the experience of many it enables us to save dollars and worries. One’s insurance policy may be too heavy to carry. Should she follow the impulse and drop it entirely? No, analyze the situation. How can the fire risk be lessened? Is she getting the benefit of the lowest rate from a good company? Can a smaller policy be taken out, which will cover her amply? These questions aid her in analyzing that particular problem. Business men call the way in which a proposition shapes up the “set-up.” Suppose one's brother-in-law attempts to interest her in his business. She analyzes his proposition in a business- like way to get a line on the “set-up.” What are his prospects, abilities, mar- kets, competitions, risks, assets and lia- bilities? She asks these questions, and more, to analyze the situation before investing. . One's maid asks for a raise in salary. She is now being paid more than most maids for a like grade. Shall one pay her or let her go? Can she be replaced for less? Has she really increased in value? What would her value be to another employer? On what basis does she ask for a raise? Are her services dispensable? and so forth. By analyzing the situation one is enabled to reach a practical decision. Unfortunately the chair one has chosen for the sitting room is expensive. It is just the chair one has planned to buy. What is there to da? ~Buy it on the installment plan, select a substi- tute or try to find one in auctions, sec- ond-hand stores or classified ads? Can it be obtained for less in some other store? Is a sale imminent? These are some of the questions that help to analyze the situation. When analyzing the situation one tries to ask of one's self sible questions. Often one leads to another, and a methodical way angles to a problem that were un- thought of are revealed. We question not only motives, reasons, bases, causes, alternatives, substitutes, ways and means. We also question whether one effect is preferable to another and why. Analyzing the situation requires hard thought, it s true, but ‘those who won't think will feel” Whenever a lem involves our dollars, we should deter- mine its set-up before acting. Thinking leads to knowing. s The Seeret of the Fig Crop. ‘The California fig crop was saved by the action of a Presno farmer who had laid out a 60-acre fig orchard and who was unable to gather a crop. The trees had all the appearance in health but the fruit failed to properly develop. George C. Roeding was in this predica~ ment and to solve his difficulty he made a trip to Smyrna. He found that it was the custom of the growers there to gather wormy fruit from the wild trees and hang it among the cultiva trees. Little wasps from the wormy fruit were essential to pollinate the cultivated orchard. He imported some of the wild trees and.went through the same procedure and the effect upon i - e b - s tha g gro lust now an important one. s No Waste in Sardine Enneriel. There is no waste in the sardine can- neries of the New England shores. The scales are sold to the manufacturers of artificial pearls. The fish meal is in demand in Germany and in this country.
