Can you think of anything more hu- miliating than for a father to be asked how many children he has and not be able to tell? It was that way with Jerr. Muskrat. One of the first questions that Qs “HOW MANY IS PLENTY?" MANDED PETER. Peter Rabbit asked him when he learned that Mrs. Muskrat had a family was how many babies were in that fam- g,v. Jerry Muskrat pretended not i@ ear. “1 say,” repeated Peter, “how many babes have you, Jerry Muskrat>"” Jerry could no longer pretend not to hear. ““Plenty,” DE- Pezer. “Enough.” replied Jerry. Peter looked very hard at Jerry. “And | THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE Wash Frock. With the coming of Summer the girls of school age discard their woolen frocks.

BURGESS how many are enough?” he asked se- verely. “As many as I wanted,” said Jerry. Peter looked at Jerry for a long min- ute and beg: to suspect the truth. “Jerry Muskrat,” know how many children you've got. No, sir; you don't know how many !:;blrs you've gol. The idea! The very idea! Jerry squirmed uncomfortably. Finat v ne admitted it was so. “You see,” he explained, “there isn't room in that home of mine for two big people like Mrs. Muskrat and myself and those oabies all at the same time. Of course, they have to have their mother, and so T keep out of there. I know Mrs, Musk- would prefer that I should.” ‘Do you mean to say that you haven't been in there since those babies were born?” Peter demanded. “'Oh, I've been in there!” replied Jerry hastily. “Of course, I've been in there. But it was dark in there and I couldnt stay but just a minute, and those bables squirmed so that I could not have counted them if I had had plenty of time.” “‘Hasn't Mrs. Muskrat told you how many babies you have?” inquired Peter “No,” said Jerry. “All she has said is that there are plenty. Now you know as much about them as I do. Plenly doesn't mean much. It may mean one thing today and another thing tomo: row, depending on just how you are feeling when you say it. If Mrs. Musk | rat happened to feel out of sorts, two o: three would be plenty. If she happened to be feeling fine, plenty might mean nalf a dozen. It Wu;erhflps two weeks later that Peter and Jerry found out just what | “plenty” did mean. Peter was sitting on the bank of the Smiling Pool just | after jolly, round, red Mr. Sun_had | goae to bed behind the Purple Hills. Jerry Muskrat was idly floating in_the water just below him. Suddenly Mrs. Muskrat, appeared. She had come out | of the under-water doorway of her home and up to the surface. Then a funny little head popped up just behind her. Peter's eyes popped out and his ears stood up straight. “One,” said Poter. Another lttle head popped up. “Two,” said Jerry Muskrat A third litile head appeared, and an- other. “Three! Four! cried Peter. Up popped two more. “Five! Six!” cried Jerry. Another pair appeared. “Seven! shouted Peter, beginning to Eight!” dance about. One_more popped up. “Nine!” said Jerry Muskrat, drawing a long breath. “Plenty!"” said Mrs. Muskrat. (Copyright, 1930.) DAILY DIET RECIPE SPINACH SALAD. Shredded lesl’gg Raw Spinach, ps.

Decorative paste-ons are so quickly made that they tempt the homemaker to work with them although she may be too buey to spend much time on anything that is¥ot absolutely essen- tial. There are & number of ways of doing the work. The name is descrip- tive, however, for paste is the very foundation of the work. 'The word is used in a broad way since glue is more often used than paste of a flour and | water type. The glue is much more | adhesive, and it withstands the ravages | of wear far better also, If paper is the medifim used with the paste, the regu- |lation kind often called library paste can be employed, but if the paste-ons are of textile, leather, string, cord, etc., | glue will be needed. The simplest varieties of decorative paste-ons consist of fancy papers cr colored pictures pasted onto boxes. The | sides can be of a plain paper either black or some color that goes particu- \lsrly well with the color scheme of the | picture used for the top of the cover. Paint the box with clear shellac or with one that is toned to give the antique effect. Such paste-ons are ex- cellent to use on cottage furniture and accessory furnishings. Rainbow paste-ons give a modern- istic effect. Cut pieces of many differ- ent colored papers in shapes that are unlike and fiv them together. A gen- eral design should be worked out to in- sure the odd shapes meeting exactly. design can be repeated over an en- tire surface and if colors are dissimilar repeats will be different in effect.

June 28, 1865.—For several days Washington and various States in the North have been filled with rumors that | the people of the South, or a certain | large class of them, are banding them- selves together for the purpose of refusing to accept the result of the War Between the States—the death of slavery in the United States. Investigations by corre- the South, however, indicate that there is no truth whatever in these reports. “Since the surrender of Lee's army,” says The Evening Star today, “the whole South has steadily proclaimed its frank acquescence in the acceptance of the death of slavery. . . . We challenge the world to produce the first paragraph, written or spoken by a Southern man | since that event, that controverts this important truth. . . . “The New York Tribune to the con- trary notwithstanding, the Negro there | must labor for the balance of the cur- rent year on present subsistence, and | wages at its end, just as all hired farm |labor was paid throughout the South, |up to the breaking out of the war. This is because the employers are with- | out means of paying labor weekly or | monthly, as is done in the North. | “A very brief time will suffice for the | teorganization of farm work throughout | the South, when the legitimate demand for Negro labor will fix its price as lib- erally as that has been done through- out Maryland, where $15 per month with board and lodging is cheerfully paid by all to their field hands without incumbrance, and in proportion to any and all disposed to work, of either sex, of any age, with or without incum- brance.” About 100 former Confederate prison- ers, who have been confined at the big prison camp at Point Lookout, at the mouth of the Potomac River in St. Marys County, Md., arrived this morn- ing in Washington and took the oath of allegiance to the United States. They were furnished transportation to their homes by the Northern authorities. In about one week’s time it is ex- pected that all the Confederate prison- ers at Point Lookout will have been re- leased and sent on their way to their homes in the Southern States. The camp, according to the present plans of the War Department, will then be broken up. ABE MARTIN SAYS T've got & good joke on Dr. Mopps.

DECORATIVE PASTE-ONS CAN BE USED EFFECTIVELY ON FURNITURE | AS SHOWN IN THIS TUCK-AWAY MUFFIN STAND. small articles lend themselves to this treatment. Cloissone paste-ons can be made by cutting skeleton frameworks from black, gold, silver or white paper and filling in the blank spaces with colored papers. The colors may be so arranged that a pattern is brought out, or a rainbow effect can be produced. The Italians have used this method with good results. They use a pattern | suited to the shape of the surface to | be ornamented and take great pains to | bring out the pattern in a classic beauty. | One box with silver cloissons pasted on showed a pattern of roses with foliage and a background carried out in ex- ‘qu‘\’sluly soft tones of rose, green and cedar. The cloissons can be made of fine cord and the spaces filled in with the pepers. This is sometimes termed cordonne work. The papers should be | fitted together over the penciled or | printed outlines and the cords pasted down following the outlines. ‘This is an excellent method to follow in cloissone paste-ons, as well as the work that goes by the above name. In all the work the design should be drawn or traced on the surface to be ornamented. This is then covered with glue or partially covered and the work done over the sticky surface until that is decorated when more glue is put on and the work continued. The part cov- ered with the glue must be completely concealed with the papers and the cloissons, however the latter are made. No surface has had glue on it | should remain without decoration.

FEATURES. | MODEST MAIDENS I © 196 The 4. P. Grees Bria Rights Reserves Famous Strong In the gray house of Verrocchio, in Florence, Leonardo da Vinel wrought in metal and stone. Verrocchio kept Lorenzo de Medici, and of all of his pupils none was so talented as Leon- ardo. Hence none was so constantly employed. ‘The boy’s naturally sturdy frame de- veloped magnificently as the years . His muscles were like steel and co-ordinated with that grace which enables a maximum of strength. In all Florence no youth dared oppose his strength to him. At the door one evening he suddenly thrust out a sinewy arm and tore off the heavy iron ring used as a knocker. While his comrades looked on with bulging eyes, his long fingers closed around the ring. His wrists cramped and the muscles of his arms bulged. Then he tossed away the ring. It had been crumpled together like paper. Decidedly, it would not be wise to have those hands pressing at one’s throat! Leonardo (1452-1519) has come down to us as the greatest genius among men. He was & supremely great painter and sculptor, an architect, a musician, a mechanician, an engineer, an anato- mist, an_inventor and a natural philos- o] . But, above all, he was far ahead of his times. He devised and built ir- rigation systems, waterways, fortifica- tions and buildings.

He divined the circulation of the blood. He grasped the action of the eye in vision, He made astounding observations in meteorology. He knew the earth’s annual motion. He deduced the action of the moon on the tides. He foreshadowed the hypothesis of the elevation of continents. He discovered the nature of fossil shells. He originated a science of hydraulics. He probably invented the hydrometer. He was the first great master of light and shade in painting. He foresaw the possibility of human flllgrht and thought of wings for him- self. He envisioned a submarine vessel. In short, he anticipated Galileo, Co- pernicus, Kepler and many others of the world's greatest geniuses. ‘To what Leonardo did he added what he was. The splendid background of all of his achievements was the man himself. He was physically beautful. He was magnificently strong. Metals were putty in his hands. He bent horseshoes and iron rings easily. He could tame the strongest and wild- est stallion. Angry, quarrelsome men were subdued by him like children.

Nail-Biting. Dear Miss Leeds—I am coming to you for advice. I have been sick a great deal of the last two years and I have formed the terrible habit of biting my finger nails. Is there anything that I can do to stop this? My husband and 1 play cards with friends, and I feel so ashamed of my hands_and nalls. —BLONDE. Answer—Nail-biting is usuaily the re- sult of nervousness in some form or other, and I feel sure that your illness is mainly responsible for the habit. In the first place, do not try to do more | than your strength permits. Omit play- ing cards for a time if it makes you nervous and plan to spend the time out of doors in the fresh air and sun- shine. Cultivate some other hobby that will tend to soothe them. Be sure to have plenty of sleep and rest. Learn to relax those nervous tensions several times a day. Just lie down for a few minutes and keep the mind free from worry. In the case of children, some bitter-tasting substance like quinine or tincture of bitter aloes is painted on the finger nails to discourage the biting. I would suggest that you, simply make yourself exercise sufficient will power to | discontinue the habit without the use of other aids. Nalls that are con- stantly being bitten off are extremely ugly, and when you notice this condi- tion, as you are bound to when you are playing cards or visiting with other poople (and you may be sure that you are not the only one that notices it), I think that you can summon up enough determination to break the habit. In addition to ruining the appearance of your hands and nails, the lack of poise which such a habit indicates is far from attractive in any one. I would like you to have my leaflet on care of the hands and nails. Make up your mind to have pretty, well gréomed hands and nails by giving them- the treatment and massage described in de- SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y. CORY. Well, aren’t 'at queer?

Nicknacks, gimcracks, combination hair-comb and pencil sharpeners, patent ear drums, magic foot drafts, nose ad- justers and machines to reduce you or beautify you or endow you with com- manding personality in the privacy of your own home are Yankee notions, more or less (usually less) useful de- vices made to sell to a certain class of people. Why Yankee? Why is the “Nutmeg State” so called?

Then, too, in the| old days the wicked play actors, accord- ing to the risque journals one read in the barber shop, ' indulged in lobster suppers late at night. Lobster is very poor nutriment, in- deed; but it is very good to eat if you like lobster and are of a determined characier.

Inclose self-addressed, envelope for mailing, however, Permanent Wave. Dear Miss Leeds—I read your beauty column every evening and have received so much help from your advice on various beauty problems. Now I wonder if you would help me to decide about getting a permanent wave? My hair is dark brown, very fine and quite thick. When I was a child, it curled natu- rally, but now it is quite straight, except when I wave ii ®un water-waving combs. It waves nicely with the combs, but I always have to curl the ends with an iron, and it is causing the hair to look split and endy. If I had a perma- nent wave, would the ends of my h: curl without any kind of curler? My hair is very olly, and I have to wash it _every week. Is this too often? I was told that a permanent wave would take some of the oil out of the hair, Is this so? It is so much bother to have to put up the hair in curlers or combs, especially when one is tra or visiting. Do you think a permanent would be more convenient™—mMISS E. A, Answer—While a permanent wave is a great convenience, remem¥er that it does demand attention regularly if it is to be beautiful and always look well groomed. After each shampoo the waves need to be set with the fingers and comb, and the ends will have to be curled under. First, I would advish you to try and coax the natural wave back again by giving the scalp special astringent and antiseptic treatments, Once a week is not too often to wasi excessively oily hair. Then you could have a finger wave put {n your hair at regular intervals until your hair and scalp are in a healthier condition. Have your hairdresser give you a few scalp treatments and use an astringent scalp tonic two or three times a week. Give the hair and scalp a sun b: th. After this, if your hair does not resume ity natural curliness or waviness, you may have the permanent wave put in. 1 not like to see natural, wavy hair p manently waved. For straight, oily hait and various other types of hair the pers manent wave is the only solution, buj as the permanent wave is merely ty make the hair an imitation of natural wavy hair so that it can be easily han- dled and waved, there i5s no need fo this natural type of hair to be perma' ‘nently waved, Write for my leaflet on this subject.

In the fashion letters which Martha sent from Paris there were many sug- gestions for clothes for Joan. Marthay knew that Aunt Nancy adored keeping Joan simply but smartly dressed. Both | she and Martha realized that this was a virtue of French fashions, in so far as’ small children were concerned. One letter inclosed a drawing of two youngsters seen in the Luxembourg Gardens. The dresses on the two girls were of a bright yellow linen. They were made with Mother Hubbard yokes, no sleeves. The yokes were laced with dark blue ribbon, ‘The girls wore yellow linen hats trimmed with blue ribbon of the same shade as that used in the dresses. Tiny white gloves were on their hands, sandals on their feet and socks, like sleeves, were absent. Another drawing showed a number of Paris fashion ways. Girls of 12 tc 14, according to Martha, wore their hair in braids, bringing the plaits over their shoulders in front. The hair was de-} murely parted in the middle. Crocheted edges and seams joined by crochet in color with seams of crochel used as ties were on dresses worn by small girls. These same youngsters wore hats with chin straps. In fact, headgear of all kinds—straw bonnets, linen hats—used the chin strap. A dress which Nancy decided to copy for her little niece was one of white Swiss dotted in blue. It had a bertha which opsned on one shoulder, leaving the shoulder exposed. It looked exceed« ingly cool and smart. v has some sandwich recipes that Nanc: might interest you and your small daugh- ters.
