We would rather wear festoons of. flowers on our shoulders than on our hats.

That A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER. 1'1‘ is odd, yet true to form, that Sena- tor Walsh of Montana again finds himself in the limelight as a result of a bishop’s deflance of a Senate com- mittee. Admittedly a great lawyer, an able legislator, a talented public servant, this iron gray man of the Senate h! even now be lost in the company of colleagues, had it not been for mmmu like the Cannon episode. It took a bflhon-flolllr oil scandal to bring him to the front for the first time. And while students of national affairs, his colleagues and his intimates woult know differently, the public at l‘l‘l! ( might never have been aware of hi as it is now. The limelight holds no attraction for ‘Walsh. He shuns it. At heart he is un- retentious, unassuming, even _shy. here are those who think that he is . cold, but there are many who have been warmed by his kindness and his sense of tact. Trim, erect and alert, Walsh is a man distinguished for his gravity. Whether 2t work or play he is serious. He seldom smiles and his laughs are even more rare. But despite his severity, he has & kind of dry humor which can be ex- tremely sharp. ‘Those who refer to him as “Tom” are prompted more by affection than famil- larity. He is not the kind of man one would get famiiiar with. He couldn’t be a back-slapper if he wanted to, for the reason that he doesn’t know how. And it is just these qualities that have kept him out of the limelight. Serious- ness, shyness and reticence do not often make great popular characters, To the outsider Walsh may appear brusque and curt. He is a pugnacious gentleman, d-sg:u- his mild appearance. And all know that he is fearless, that he has tremendous courage, and that there MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST. Orange Juice. Dry Cereal with Cream. Scrambled Blueberry M Coffee. LUNCHEON.

Eating Vegetables. ‘The amazement with which I read the two letters which follow will prob- ably be matched by your own. They | are such perfect complements for each | | other that the accident of their arriv- ing the same day and being read one following the other seems almost un- cl‘rlmy. Here they are—judge for your- self: “My baby is 17 months old, has 12 teeth, weighs 20 pounds and is 31 inches tall,” Mrs. P. H. R. writes. “She does not look thin, but solid and strong. She eats eggs, bread, bacon, cereal, fruits and puddings. She drinks one and one-half pints of milk a day. She also has beef broth and orange juice. She sleeps well, but sucks her thumb at night. She likes to imitate us, and this works well every place ex- cept at the table. She won't touch anything that looks like a green vege- table. I have tried vegetables she has never tasted before. One taste and they are out. We ignored her. We put her to bed without supper and she cried all night. Can you help me?” Here is the next letter, solved by a change in the other foods and the cut- ting down of one meal daily. A young mother confides: “I wish to thank you sincerely for the good results I had following your advice.| You remember my 15-month-old boy | who would not eat vegetables? You | | told me to cut down on such foods as | cream, oatmeal, etc, and I wish you could see him eat carrots, spinach, peas, | asparagus. fresh tomatoes, and So on. | I feed him only three times a day at | | regular intervals. He gets so hungry | he eats anything put before him. He ‘looks rosier every day. A friend just remarked how much brighter and | healthier he seemed. For some reason he suddenly quit sucking his thumb. Radishes With Steak. Try cooking radishes with your beef- steak, frying them with the steak and in plenty of butter. The result is delicious and so much like mushrooms in flavor that very few persons eating them would recognize the difference. is no sidetracking him when he takes the trail. Yet those who know him testify to the other side of his character—a charming, gracious courtliness that wins the heart. ‘Walsh had been in the Senate only two years when a colleague said of him: “In my humble judgment, Senator ‘Walsh is the ablest llwyer in this body.” | That opinion is shared by his col- | leagues today—25 years later. He is accepted as the Senate’s outstanding In debate he relies little on flashiness and oratory. Rather he deals with raw facts, perfect logic.

A Summer afternoon, if you had to | express its essence in a sentence re- duced to telegraphic conciseness, would include the drone of flies. It is a sound almost pleasant—if the flies are out- side, or at least it is a drowsy and domestic noise. Time was, and not so long ago, when we said that a man was harmiess as a fly. Or that he was so any right-minded American regards a fly as worse than a rattlesnake. A few | hundred people vearly die of rattle- snake bite. Thousands, indirectly, die of fiies. The unhappy fact is that flies carry almost all the communicable dis- easess They are the dirtiest animals | in existence, and probably the most | successful and abundant insects that | live in the abodes of man. In the| | latitude of Washington many broods of flies per year may hatch. And in addi- | tion to the common house fly there are blue bottle flies, swarm flies, carrion fiies, horse flies and I know not how many others. Even out in the woods, where household pests and European | species of insects are rare, you have | but to expose a little honey or milk or butter of a picnic lunch for a few minutes and house flies will arrive from somewhere for the feast. or for the purpose, it seems, of pestering you. Although theoretically everybody knows these facts, the public war against the fly is undulant in its enthusiasm and effectiveness. When properly warned we swat the fly; after a while we relax our efforts; the fly gains ground; we are warned again, take up the old burden, and for a time meet with some success. In this there is a little bio- logical lesson—namely, that most of the enemies of man can be controlled if he fights them intelligently, but not exterminated. So the war is ceaseless. All these being facts ingrained in the American consciousness, it is startling to find that in enlightened Europe flies are so tolerantly regarded. Secreens, even in first-class European houses, are a rarity, and when found usually mean that an American has lived in the house. When I lived in France I had at different ‘times many servants, and I never met one who had ever killed a fly before. When told to kill the fifes in the kitchen they waved aprons at them. One resolutely refused to harm the poor things. When I said, “Lili, in America we have found that flies carry typhoid, tuberculosis and things like that.” “Oh, monsieur,” said the patriotic cook, “not our French flies!” JOLLY POLLY A Lesson in English, BY JOS.

At last she succeeded in hauling, pushing, driving him ahead of her into the house, still raging. “Sure, I licked him. Good and plenty.

I can't imagine what it was about, but he nearly killed the boy. You'll have to talk to him. I can't get a word in edgewise. We can't have him killing boys. He'll end up in state’s prison. I know he will. You never saw such a rage as that child was in.” Here moth- er, alarmed by her own fears, broke down and wept. Father went upstairs to see what it had been about, but Paul was fast asleep, a blue bruise over one eye, a puff on the corner of his mouth, but a gweetly contented smile on his face. Father tiptoed downstairs again. “I don’t know why he licked Haynes, but it doesn't matter. He had a good reason and it won't put him in jail.” lot you know about it. You didn't )nr.

A Sermon for BY REV. JOHN R. GUNN. The Need of Vision. “Where there is no vision, the people | perish.”—Prov., zxiz.18. This proverb is otherwise rendered, “Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint.” Solomon spoke a great truth here, one that has been fulfilled in the history of nation after nation. It was the vision of the glorv of God that made Israel a great nation. When the people lost that vision, the nation began to disintegrate. It was a vision of the beautiful that led the Greeks to the sublime heights they attained in art and literature. When that vision faded, the glory of Greece began to fade. It was a vision of power and domin- | fon which inspired the Roman legions | and marshaled them for victory. When Romans_turned from that vision, the Roman Empire went to pieces. The same law applies to individuals. How often we have seen men led on to | great achievements by visions of high purposes and ideals, and then later lose their vision and go down in defeat and humiliation. When vision goes, then come self-in- dulgence and wantonness and rioting and all sorts of revelings. All restraint is thrown off, and men rush blindly to their own destruction. The pursuit | of pleasure takes the place of the pur- | suit of purpose. Dissipation takes the | place of discipline. And through dissi- pation character is undermined and reputation thrown away. ‘When a nation loses its vision, no amount of wealth can save it. You| might as well sink its battleships, for it cannot be saved with armament. The life without vision is doomed to | perish. How many we see around us perishing for want of vision. For men and nations, vision is neces- sary to keep them fresh and vigorous and triumphant. Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. If you didn't look above the top ruf- fle at this little dressing table, you might almost expect to see a dainty little shoe shove out from beneath the skirt and step off in a graceful minuet, but it is Just an ordinary dressing table in mod- ern attire. It is interesting to note how the fur- e styles seem to conform to the changes of style in dress. A few years ago the tailored and severe dressing table was quite the thing to have. Now, with the coming of fuller skirts and longer ones, too, we find dressing tables full of frills, laces, ribbons and all of | those fascinating little touches of the minuet days. | The dressing table shown here is made of four tlers of flesh-colored lace (it's such a simple matter to dip ordinary white lace now, with the easy dyes), and beneath the frills is a plain skirt of pale blue satin. The top of the table s/ painted blue beneath a plate glass cov- ering, and the mirror frame is etched blue glass. The bottles and other acces- sories are of rose: quite a dainty little affair for a young lady in her party and “teen” days. _(Copyright, 1920) Phird in T \ Silver Worth Third in Dollar. | Silver dollars, in metal value, are| now worth less than one-third thelr face value.

Of course, it is being improved from year | year, but the essentials remain. Your | hair is shampooed, then it is divided | into small strands and these are twist- ed and rolled around spools. The meth- od of twisting is the crucial part; it can | be, and should be, for most heads, given a flat twist. This makes a loose, natu- m-looxm; wave. Then this is wound | with cotton soaked in some special preparation (usually), and then the spools which the hair is twisted on are | slipped_into shells. The electric heat| goes through these and the hair is| baked or boiled or steamed, or what-| ever they call the process, for a certain length of time. This varies, too: it de- | pends on the hair and the preparation your beauty shop uses to produce the wave.
