Thus loosely woven, lacy tweeds lend them- selves charmingly to the bright colors that are peculiarly appropriate for re- | sort and holiday wear.

See how sweet she is about helping mother to set the table and wash the dishes. Why can't you be nice like she is, so we would all love you?"” Has a familiar sound, hasn't it? Some way we wonder why people con- tinue to think that pointing out some other person’s virtues will stimulate imitation, Everywhere families are using this utterly ineffective method of trying to make their children all like the most satisfying child in the family. The most satisfying is the child who conforms most mlfy to the wishes of the aduits. One mother says: “My 11-year-old girl is so bright in school and so am- bitious. She gets her lessons and comes home and helps me with the house- work without a murmur. She is very also. Her sister, two years younger, is just the opposite. She is mean and whines and grumbles a everything we ask her to do. I can’t understand why she isn't more like her sister.” No doubt from her earliest recollec- tion she has had to gaze upon this paragon of an older sister with admira- tion. The pose is a little hard to re- tain. Instead of being loved and ap- preciated for her very differences, her own personality has been minimized be- cause it didn’t take the same lines as | the older sister. Often it is the other situation. The older sister is made to copy her younger sister. The older boy is told if he would only be as sweet as baby every one would love him as much. Instead of inspiring & child to imitate the other child, all these things simply antag- onize him. He wants to be liked for himself alone. He wants his good points stressed and his bad ones ignored. If he chooses his older brother or sister as a pattern it is not because the parents have told him it is an admirable pattern to follow, but because he finds the older | child so sweet and likable that he longs to imitate him. This has to come from | within the child, not from pressure | without. All that admonitions to be like some- one else have ever done for a child is to make him go farther and farther in | the opposite direction. He glories in refusing to help his mother when this Efl.rlah sister does it so sweetly, Let er do it, thinks he to himself. She must like to. I don't. And so he up- | Ids his own difference. Inside of him there is a hurt place, . He feels that he is to be liked | also and he wants to win his parents’ | affection without performing what he | considers hypocritical acts. The parent who grumbles at a child, exhorting him or her to be like some one else, is certainly blind, for she cannot but see that it doesn’t work. One may try anything once, or even | twice, but after that if it is still un- successful it is a most unintelligent person who refuses to change her tac- Home in Good Taste BY SARA RILAND. The room for the boys should be a combination bed room and study, for if, it is away from the confusion of the evening family gatherings, there is more promise of the lessons being pre- pared. In the fllustration is shown a very tics. ’h’{llnnthfl' method with the child in the family whose behavior is an- tagonistic. Begin trying to find some ! virtues that can be applauded and | praised even if one has to make a real effort to find them. There is always | something about every child that can be drawn out and sunned by the fam- ily approval. It is surprising how quickly the “bad” child will begin to live up to these virtues. Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. February 26, 1861.—As the time draws nearer when Mr. Lincoln will be inaugurated as President of tm | States, the plans of the military au- | thorities to protect him from possible attack are being made more thorough. Quietly the Government has concen- | trated in this city various units of the Regular Army and the Marine Corps, | to guard the line of the inaugural pro- | cession and the plaza at the east front of the Capitol on' March 4. The Dis- | trict Militia will also aid in the protec- [ tion of Mr. Lincoln on that day. Detectives from New York, Phila- | delphia, Baltimore and Chicago have been brought to Washington to aid the | local police in keeping a close watch on the crowds of visitors, who already are beginning to arrive here. President-elect Lincoln visited the | Capitol this afternoon about 4 o'clock | and returned to his rooms in Willard's | Hotel between 5 and 6 o'clock. This evening he was closely occupied with | callers. Gen. Scott held a protracted interview with him. i Mr. Lincoln's face, in the few days | he has been here since his election, has not become familiar enough to the peo- recognized when he passes along the streets. Several times he has driven | from Willard’s to various parts of the city without attracting the attention of the multitude. There was a big jam at Willard's *o- night wher: it became known that Mr, | and Mrs. Lincoln were ‘“receiving.” Great care was exercised by those on duty at the doors to prevent unknewn persons from entering the apartment where the President-elect and Mrs, coln were greeting their guests. Gentlemen unaccompanied by ladies | found great diffiulty in entering, un- less they were known to those on duty at the door, The Peace Convention, which has | been in session here in an effort to save | the Union, was forced to adjourn again | today with nothing accomplished. | Many of the delegates are sincerely try- ing to induce the convention to agree upon a plan that wili keep North Caro- lina, Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri and the other so-called border slave States from joining the Southern Confederacy which the cotton States have organ- ized. The prospect of success in this effort did not seem bright today. | simple, but effective table desk, the sup- | spread out the slices into fan shape. ports being similar to those on a saw- horse, and, stretching from end to end beneath the table top, is a long book trough.

LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE. I was wawking to skool this morning with Emmly Star, being the bewty look- ing new gerl in the corner house, and we saw Mary Watkins wawking with Pud Simkins, her looking as if she thawt she dident even see us, and Emmly Star sed, Do you think she’s so terrible pritty? O, not so awful, I sed. Theres just ;s ;l:rlttdy gerls in the werld as what she , 1 sed. Not axually saying who. Emmly Star being ‘Pl’ltty near as pritty as Mary Wat- kins from a distants but maybe not quite as pritty up close, and she sed, Well which do you think is the prittiest, long hair or short? Her having long bldck cerls and Mary Watkins having yellow bob hair, and 1 sed, O, I think dark hair is, speeking of long hair. Being a good anser on account of not saying anything about the yellow short bob hair, and after skool I was wawk- ing home with Mary Watkins and she sed, Do you wunt to hear some news?” I herd you sed long black hair is the prittiest hair trtere is. Emmly Star told me at recess, she sed, G wizz good nite I did not say any- thing of the kind, I sed, and she sed, Well then what did you say and I sed, Why I sed to her, all I sed was, G wizz how can anybody remember exackly what they sed, but I dident say that. ‘Well you must of sed something ex- ackly like it pritty simular, Mary Wat- kins sed, and I sed, Well G wizz, any- body can have long black hair, but anybody with short yellow hair has to l{)e exter special pritty or elts they'd look unny. O, so short lite hair is funny, is it? she sed, and I sed, No, G, certeny not, good nite whats you think? I meen I ment short lite hair looks so grate that if you dident have a swell looking face to go with it why they both wouldent match, gosh, I sed, and she sed, Well thats very nice of you to say that, and Im just going to tell Emmly Star, too.

That country, in its earlier crudeness, unable to obtain for its sovereigns alli- ance with the royal houses of neighbor- ing countries, borrowed a veritable cin- derella-making institution from the By- zantines. It had its political advantages. ‘When a wife was desired for the Cazar, or his heir apparent, 1,500 beautiful maidens were gathered from all sections and taken to Moscow that the husband- to-be might make his own selection. Peter’'s own mother, Nathalia Kiril- lovna, had been such a Cinderella. The Czar Alexis, his father, had lost his first wife, the Princess Marie Ilin- itchna Misoslavsky, after she had borne him 13 children. Eleven of these died, and in 1670 the only heirs of Alexis were his two sons, Theodore, who was so sickly that it was not believed he would live, and Ivan, who was almost an idiot. Russian peasants knew that the Czar would be certain to marry again and | began to prepare their daughters for the traditional ceremony. ‘Their efforts counted for naught. One evening while the Czar was at the house of Artemon Sergheievitch Mat- velef, his chief minister, he lost his heart. When Mme. Matvelef entered the room in which the Czar sat, bring- ing the vodka, the caviar, the smoked fish and the other IE tizers Russians employ before embarking upon supper, she was assisted by a black-eyed youn, beauty. This was a ward of Matvelef. onstrate ™ the Frigidaire vegetables — more delicious salads ‘Today you can serve freshér vegetables —more delicious salads than ever before.

The 1,500 maidens came as usual to Moscow, but Nathalia was commanded to be one of them. It was foreordained that she would be the Emperor's choice. It must not be supposed that a girl assumed the role of bride to the Czar without danger to herself. The imperial family was apt to be jealous of the sovereign’s choice, fearing loss of favor and of power, Sometimes these relatives had gone to extreme lengths to obtain a marriage that suited themselves. When the young Czar Michael plan- ned to marry Marie Khlepof in 1616, the Soltykofs, the most powerful family then at court, drugged the poor beauty until she was sick, told the Czar she was incurably diseased, and had her and her family exiled to Siberia. His next choice, Princess Dolgoruky, died mys- teriously on the day of the wedding. Even Alexis, who now planned to make Nathalia his wife, had suffered by such machinations. Prior to marrying Princess Marie Illinitchna Misoslavsky he had selected Euphemia Vsevolozhsky. On her first Frelenhtinn in the royal rTobes, the les in waiting dressed her hair with such a tight twist that she swooned in the Czar's presence. Oblig- ing physicians declared she had epilepsy and off she was sent to Siberia. Plotting did, indeed, delay Nathalia's wedding nine months. But Alexis really was r..f"“"’“"ly in love with her. He married her on February 1, 1671. On June 9, 1762, the child that was to be Peter the Great was born.
