Mannerisms Imitated by Children It is very illuminating to parents to watch their children playing house. ‘The manner in which father and mother are copled is a revelation of what the little folks see in them of good and bad and the various peculiari- ties of conduct. There is no intention on the part of the children to criticize the actions of either patent. They are merely imitative. As they consider ‘what father and mother do is about right, if not, indeed, perfect to them, can have no higher standards. ‘When they keep house they but emu- late the doings and repeat the sayings of their elders. But they manage to convey their own interpretation, and it THE DOLL MUST BE TUCKED INTO ‘THE CARRIAGE JUST AS MOTHER ‘WOULD DO IT. will be found that the little minds have hidden significances.

What the little folk contribute is their own reaction to their upbringing. They show whether, in their youthful estimation, they be- lieve themselves fairly treated or wrong- fully rebuked. It is amusing and sometimes em- barrassing to note the accuracy of the characterizations. A chance is afforded parents to see themselves as others see them, and they are wise if they pay heed to what they hear and see. It is utterly truthful, for there is no attempt to gloss matters over or to garble words. What the youngsters are trying to do is to be miniatures of their much loved and respected or feared and overbear- ing parents.

It books and a close observation of Winter birds did not teach one other- wise, it would be natural to think of the white-throat song sparrow, who lets his wistful notes drop almost sadly into the galety of the Spring airs, as a bird who has just arrived from the South. In Autumn he whistled as though in farewell; in Spring he greets you like one of the birds of passage from & tropical sojourn. Yet the reverse is the case; he arrived last Fall, settled into Winter quarters here, spent the snowy months modestly in the lee of the trees, was seen only by the trained eye, and now, in the Aprik weather, he pipes as though he had come to build his nest and stay, when actually he is about to take wing and nest in Maine or Canada. I cannot, offhand, think of any other ‘Winter birds who is so late about leav- ing, or who sings so beautifully; in- THE EVENING Fashions of Today BY MARIE SHALMAR. From Every Angle. The girl of today does not perhaps sit before her dressing table gasing at her face and hair quite so long as did her predecessor, but she does spend more time inspecting her general ap- pearance in the pler glass. She wants to know that she looks right from every angle. She does not resort to last-minute pinnings and tackings to make her clothes hang as they should. She does not have to worry over the fitting of a high close collar, but she is much more particular about the ap- pearance of her shoes and stockings. The shoe slightly down at the heel she knows will ruin the best “tout en- semble.” ‘The girl who is not perfectly sure of her “tout ensemble” usually goes about with an awkward, embarrassed manner. She makes a quick, nervous entrance into the room, strikes awk- ward, uneasy postures. She seems to cling to the background and seems never quite s0 much where she belongs as when a wall flower. Just to be sure that your clothes look right from every angle is enough to give a girl confi- dence, and it is this self-confidence and naturalness that have a great deal to do with popularity. N Coffee Nut Pie. Scald two cupfuls of rich milk in a double boiler, pour it over half a cupful of sugar mixed with three table- spoonfuls of cornstarch and one-fourth teaspoonful of salt, add one cupful of strong coffee infusion, returned to the double boiler, then cook until thick- ened, or for about 20 minutes. Then add one egg beaten slightly, with one- fourth cupful of sugar. Cook for five minutes longer, add one-half cupful of chopped nut meats and one teaspoonful of vanilla. Cool and pour the mixture into baked pie crusts, about eight of them, and scatter a few nut meats over each pie. b deed, the word song is scarcely to be granted to any other of our Winter birds during the time they are with us. ‘The white-throat loves the rainy days best of all—his tones will drift through the downpour all day long, and when he sings in a Spring rain I go up in my attic and listen to him. On the roof the rain roars and the gutters tinkle; it is like the sound of a great storm of violins in some romantic symphony, and the descending notes of the white- throat are like a soprano voice of tragic timbre. When the white-throat sings on a blue day it sounds as though he were letting the notes drift down from the very zenith, far out of sight, as the skylark is said to do (though the only time I heard skylarks I was dis- appointed). In reality, the white-throat is to be sought on the bough of some tree, usu- ally a low one. His voice, I believe, can be heard a long way off, but, near or far, it always has the quality of an angelic choir of children’s voices, that to the right conclusions without ce.

I have never tried to find the pitch of the white-throat's voice on the piano (many people work out bird songs and write them on blank music sheets this way, though I have always thought this a rather foolish proceeding, neither I belleve that he has the highest notes among all our common birds. PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. Exposure to Weather. A young child attending school needs Telatively more food than his father or mother does. This is not merely be- cause the child has to grow, that is, build new body tissues, but also because the child's surface area is relatively than that of the parent, and fore the child loses or dissipates relatively more heat. A mouse needs much more food in proportion to its weight or size than an elephant does, simply because the elephant’s surface :u is relatively less than that of the A baby & few months old gives oft twice as much heat per pound of body NANCY PAGE Taught Self Reliance at Early Age. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Nancy and Peter were asked to din- ner at a home where there were three small children. The youngsters sat at the table with the grown-ups. From watching them Nancy found some of her original convictions much strength- The oldest child in the family was 9.

For that reason young infants can and do stand or endure excessive cloth- 1.? and artificial warmth better than ults or older childern do, though it is also true that in extremely hot weather it is much easier to kill the baby with just such warmth than it is even to wilt the adult. Excessive clothing, bed covers and room temperatures in very hot weather are important factors of the hlg;cd:nm rate among young infants. use the child, with the greater surface area, dissipates or loses more heat than a larger body, some doctors argue that it is unwise, at least in some cases, to let young children go bare- legged or bare-kneed in cold weather.

UNLISS all signs fall, this Capital City of the United States, for the ensuing two months, will experience the most brilliant social period it has known in years. ‘There can be no denying the fact that soclety in Washington ~ thus far during the first Hoover season has had the breaks against it. Bince official so- clety in the Capi- tal takes its cue from the White House, there was nothing to do but acquiesce as grace- fully as possible. they looked upon things social and mdynulned the social activities of the White House in the spirit of duty. Not so with President and Mrs. Hoover. It was soon evident that the present oc- cupants of the White House were so- cially inclined. 8o, when, from the mansion on Penn- sylvania avenue, came the announce- ment of the most elaborate plan of itself in, prepared for its gayest of all seasons, First came the sudden death of Sec- retary of War Good. President Hoover, out of respect for the death of his cabi- net officer, declared all White House functions for December canceled. In- cluded in these were the brilliant diplo- matic reception and the annual cabi- net dinner. Before social activity hardly got | oy under way again Chief Justice Taft was stricken with his fatal illness. During the latter part of Taft's illness virtually every function was canceled, including more White House State parties, the last two of the cabinet din- ners in honor of the President and Mrs. Hoover, and any number of Vice President Curtis’ engagements. ‘With the death of the former Presi- d:“m. soclety came to a complete stand- s 1. “Court mourning” for Taft ended on April 8, but inasmuch as the White House was observing Lent, the belated DEEP PORE CLEANSING season did not have a fair chance until after Easter. The end of the Lenten period is the signal for an attempt to relieve con- gested social calendars. The White House, for example, had scheduled 14 functions at the start. Of these only six have been given. Others find them- selves in much the same situation. But hostesses and social secretaries are far from despair. Instead they eagerly anticipate the prospects of the gayest “little season” in years. Congress will be in sesslon almost until the season is over, and perhaps longer. Then, too, it is Washington's boast that Spring finds the Capital at its most beautiful and best. —_— String Beans With Sauce, To make the sauce, chop one me- dium-sized onion and saute it in one tablespoonful of butter until slightly colored.

Derived the ch verb to enter, tly & dish that is served course dinner as an “introduction the roast.” French cook books devote no special section to entrees, as the hostess or cook uses her or his discretion in choosing the sort of dish that may be used in this way. In French as in American procedure, entrees as dishes “which do not fit into any other classification, which are nefther meat, fish, vegetable, salad nor desert.” B8he includes in her list of entrees such dishes as cheese and to- mato rarebit, welsh rarebit, chicken livers with bacon, chicken croquettes, scalloped sweetbreads, lobster Newburg, pancakes a la Russe, etc. As used in some cook books, an entree must apparently have meat or fish in its content. There are many cooking school teachers who apparently make the word do to cover any sort of “made” meat dish—using it as & term for left-over dishes. These dishes, as served in most American house- holds, have nothing of the original entree about them.

BY J. P. GLASS. “YOU HAVE BUT ONE HOPE; IT IS, Peculiar interest attaches to the life of Luigi Cornaro, the Venetian patrician who gave such a good exam- ple of how to live that he was almost 100 years old at death. Cornaro spent his youth in (flul?l- tlon and intemperance. At 35 he lit- erally had one foot in the grave. Nor was his health all that was ruined. Despite the fact that he belonged to one of the most {illustrious families of Venice, he had been deprived of his rank as a nobleman and could receive no state employments or honors, Born in 1468, he was, at the turn of the century, distinguished only as a rake, gourmand and wine-bibber. A few years later his habits had resulted in s0 many diseases that he considered himself to be nearing his end. Remedies provided by the most dis- tinguished physicians falled him be- tween his thirty-fifth and fortieth years. Finally they told him: “You have but one hope: it is to pursue a sober and orderly life.” “Thinking things over,” says Cor- naro, “I grew fully persuaded that all my griefs arose out of intem- * * I resolved to follow temperance and reason.” Diet was the object thenceforth of his careful attention. Concluding that “no man can be a perfect physician to another, but to himself only,” he began to note the effect of everything he ate and drank. Within a year he found himself a well man. cardinal rule of his policy was to eat and drink only those things he could digest easily, “taking care never to rise with a full stomach, but I might well eat and drink more.” His pi am, from which he rogram, never digressed, provided for 14 ounces | of food and 16 ounces of drink daily. ‘This he consumed in four collations, so as to make digestion easy. Other steps to assist health included exercise and avoidance of too much heat or cold, weariness, watch- ing, bad air, hatred, anger, melancholy and “other perturbations of the mind.” Above all, he adopted a h'ghly useful existence that kept him ily and happily employed. He erected a palace at Padua and kept open house for men of science, letters and art. He became an inde- My Neighbor Says: Hair brushes may be cleaned by dipping them in a strong so- lution of alum and water. This protects the bristles and prevents their turning yellow.

He wrote & comedy and a treatise on architec- ture. He studied agriculture, draining, dikes and fortifications. He brought ‘waste lands into cultivation and, final- ly, he found time to write upon his favorite subject, the temperate use of foods and wines. At 91 he wrote his “Earnest Ex- hortation to a Sober Life,” and at 95 he indited another work on the same subject. Cornaro predicted that his end would be a gradual calm and peaceful disso- lution. It came as he sat in his arm- chair in his Paduan palace and it was Jjust as he had predicted. He had lived practically a century.
