I HEATING PLANT It's good to have a heating plant that | functions without flaw or hitch, and |sit in comfort with your aunt, when | wintry tempests rear and pitch. The | air is full of snow and sleet, the loud wind raves across the wold; but you turn on the helpful heat, and care no hoot about the cold. No greater com- fort can you know than that imparted by a fire, when all the world is full of snow and ‘there are storms and bliz- zards dire. In drowsy peace the long | hours drift, while you indulge in studies | brown: and you reflect once more that thrift is human wisdom all boiled down. There are a thousand weary wights who shiver in the bitter gales, who wander in the dark cold nights with whiskers frozen hard as nails. You | think about them as you bask in solid | comfort, at such times; you also think about the cask in which you salted | down the dimes. You were a cautious, prudent lad, you had the sense to look ahead, you saved the money, scad by scad, that you might be well housed and fed. And there were fellows, blithe and gay, who called you “tightwad” and | the like, as they pursued their heedless way through all the joints along the pike. They held it shame to save a red, to put a kopeck down in brine, “for man will be a long time dead, and while he lives should rise and shine.” And now those boys are in the sleet, in wretchedness they sigh and pant, while you turn on the modern heat, and sit in comfort with your aunt.

Colored Applique With Cutwork BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. THERE IS A CLASSIC SIMPLICITY OF EFFECT IN THIS WORK. Among the season’s handsome pieces of embroidered linen few are more ef- fective than those in which colored applique is combined with cut work. The type of needlecraft referred to is not to be mentioned in the class with the ordinary applique done on break- fast cloths for Summer cottage uge. It is the sort worthy of inclusion with choice embroideries. A high grade of cream or white linen, preferably the round-thread linen, such as the Italians use for their needlecraft, is employed for the foundation. A finer ight is right for the colored ‘The motifs are couched down about the edges. For this a fine cord the same color as that of the motif is selected, and it is worked over with thread to match, or silk if the cord is silken.

The bars are laid from one motif to another or to some terminating point designated, and are of linen thread matching the color of ecting in_prefer- ing them with buttonhole The bars should be made be- pe cut away are neatly buttonhole stitched. Then the color patches are basted down and the edges finely run to the foundation. These are then covered with the finest of braid or of several strands of the embroidery medium held in position by the stitches across it, which match in kind and color so perfectly that they are scarcely discernible. ‘To render them invisible the threads should be single floss strands, le-aught silk, or 1,000 linen, and the stiches must be taken in the same direction as the cord covering or weave. Stems and connecting lines of stitch- ery used in the embroidery may be in outline, stem stitch or chain stitch. If there are wide lines in the. design, these are generally overlaid with ap- plique and corded along both edges. Appliqued colors are soft, not bizarre, Sage green is a favorite for follage. Pinks on the rose tones, mulberry, lilac and lemon, with some deeper yellows, are most frequently employed for flow- ers. For geometrical patterns these same colors are decidedly in evidence. colors are suggested, but any color which harmonizes with the color scheme of a dining room may be used. In rooms other than the dining room, where table covers and scarfs, bureau and_dresser sets and other accessories of this type can be used appropriately, the color schemes should be equally artistic and ¥ SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y.

One Mother Says— ‘When little Betty Lou was about five months old she just loved to sit up by herself and in spite of frequent tumbles would laugh with glee when I put her on the floor. But I did not like to see the little dear get so many bad bumps so I fixed up some cushions and put them around her to break the falls. I made them out of gayly colored oil- cloth, for naturally they were bound to get dirty and made of this material they could be easily wiped off and made fresh as new. Besides, the baby seemed to_take a real pleasure in their bright colors. (Copyright, 1980.) OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRL Adopted Child. It is difficult for any child to get himself grown up, but it seems to be particularly difficult for some of the adopted children, « When people decide that they want to adopt a child they usually have a well defined picture of the child they mc. He is to fill some long-desired leal. Now children are never ideal crea- tures. They do not come that way. When -parenis feel that theirs is an ideal child is a feeling, not a fact as facts in this material world can be measured Love colors and judged. ‘What | everything it touches with the hues of hope—the rainbow. Parental love, espe- cially maternal love, has a genius for laying on such color. ¢ ‘The adopted child has not the appeal of the !lmfl:-h’r&chfld. ‘Where with her own child a migther is sure, she is only hopeful, fearful and desirous for. the adopted child. When things the latent fears come to the top tort whatever happens. Disobe- dience, whifulness, unhappy traits in the adopted child stick out like sore thumbs, The same qualities displayed in the family-born child cause but a ripple of distress. ‘The adopted child is a s child. He has not inherited the fi ly traits. He is without their tradition. He can be conditioned just so far and no far- ther. He will have to follow the pat- tern laid down in the beginning for his growth and development and if this carries him far afleld, if it differs greatly from that approved by the family of his adoption, trouble gathers thick and fast. Environment is a tremendous force in the life of a child, but before it does its work inheritance begun its share in the fulfillment of destiny. In other words, you cannot condition a child to any habit, or quality, or reaction to which its being is a stranger. You can never take out what nature has planted in the blood and bone. The inant traits will hold. You can modify the lesser ones, you can suppress and ac- sent and cover up, but you cannot create where nature has r led you. Be very gentle with the adopted child then. Through no fault of his, life has placed him in a forelgn environment. He is often deaf and blind to its appeals because he was tuned and set for a different level. Instead of being sure, positive, determined about his demon- strations, better be watghful, question- ing, welcoming. This child may have hidden treasure within him that your preconceived ideas have smothered. l-'l‘s may be a shining light in a field which you are the stranger. ‘While it is essential to know all you can about any child in your care, it is imperative that you study the child of adoption. Watch for his signals and do your very best to interpret them to his development, remembering “that he for him as you are good No two children of a family are ever alike. How much apart then must you and this stranger child be? Only by watchfuf, honest study can you hope to help gim ‘to happy development. (Copyright, 1930.) it bt i IE Luncheon Pepper Pot.

The man at the head of it considers that he has done his whole duty as a father by supplying his children’s material wants and he has made no more effort to establish any human relationship with them than if he were a cash register or a checkbook. He feeds and clothes his children. He gives them expensive educations. He sends them off to camps and on trips to Europe. He buys them sport cars and pretty frocks, but he doesn't try to get acquainted with them. He doesn't try to find out what they are thinking, and about the only time he knows what they are doing is when they get into scrapes, and then he them how degenerate the young generation is. rages at them and tells .o WHY' the spectacle of a father chumming up with his children and having real heart-to-heart talks with them is rare enough to get in the news reel 24 the movies. When the children in most families want sympathy and some- body to tell things to, they go to their mothers. They would never think of ask- ing father for anything but money and generally mother is thefr go-between even in that and transmits their desires to father. ‘This brings about a tragic condition of affairs. It is tragle for the man because it makes him pay the price of fatherhood without getting any of its re- wards. He has toiled harder than any slave for his children.

Psychic Experiences of Noted Men and Women Linnacus and the Footsteps of a Dead Friend. BY J. P. GLASS. “IF THE PARSON'S ADDRESS PASSED WORTHY PAIR WOULD WALK Chrolus Linnaeus, Sweden's famous botanist, who took the name of Carl von Linne when a patent of nobility was conferred upon him because of -the importance of his achievements, was a great lover of animals. ‘The man who really laid the founda- tion of modern systematic botany and who first established the law by which plants are cl pets.

Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. There seems to be no end of small tables when one is in search for a certain style, but it is sometimes diffi- cult to find one which will meet vari- ous needs. The, marble-topped table seems a bit formal for the small ¥ving room, and the richly carved type offers the same objection. Therefore to find something simple yet attractive is the answer to the problem. In the illustration is shown a table which is charming because of the sim- plicity of its design and construction. Its proportions remind one of the but- terfly table, but the top of one &ece of wood, there is no necessity for the little butterfly “wings” to sup- port drop leaves.

I haven't one of a plain “catarrh” victim now for several years. No doubt some folks still have what they complacently call “catarrh"—and any quug will earnestly acquiesce in that if the sucker will only make & small down payment for a course of treatment. But the , 1 am_happy now definitely rejects “catarrh” as an entity. We are more resourceful than we were 20 years ago in diagnosis. Twenty years ago only a few nose and throat specialists knew what sinusitis was—in fact, a good many nose and throat specialists were still doing & brisk business on the catarrh basis, though most of them could recognize at least suppurating maxillary and frontal sinus cases when there was ex- ternal swelling. ‘The human skull is not solid ivory, as one might reasonably assume. It is more like a Swiss cheese. Most of us have 8 or 10 air holes or sets of air spaces in the skull—spaces lined with mucous membrane and normally com- municating with the outer air. These spaces are known as sinuses, or cells, or antra, the pair in the upper jawbone being’ known as maxillary sinuses, or antra of Highmore. The pair in the frontal bone under the brows are frontal sinuses. More deeply situated in the roof of the nasal cavity are the ethmoid, and still farther back in the base of the skull are the sphenoid i sinuses. Then there is a group of such air cells in the mastold bone behind the ear, and these communicate with e aposs of wi these the e purpose of all these spaces skull is a question for conjecture.
