One need not be a professional to make them successfully, but one must have patience and the willingness to take ins. ”The tab trimming as shown in the sketch calls for bias strips of material usually of the same sort as the dress on which they are used. This gives a smarter eflect than contrasting ma- terial. The strips are turned in along the edges about a quarter of an inch. ‘The ends, that are to be tied are also turned in, basted and. pressed. After this, the strips are basted very care- fully to the dress. The ends are tied ‘The success of the undertaking de- pends to a great measure on having perfectly cut bias strips. The Mbest way to go about this is to fold over a plece of heavy paper so that you have a perfect triangle. with a side be cut. Then cut the material per- fectly even at one end, drawing a thread to be sure that it is even. Now lay the right-angle triangle paper over the material with one side even with the straight edge of the material. Care- fully draw a line with pencil on the material along the long side of your and. placing one side along the pencil mark drawn on the material, mark the material along the other side of the cardboard strip. It is a good plan to trace off these strips, as many as you desire, before beginning to cut. (Copyright, 1930.) LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE. .

You better not, Reddy sed. Wich I dident, and pritty soon I sed, Would you consider it a insult if I cailed you a funny face ky? What the hecks that? Reddy sed. and I sed, It aint anything special, thats why you mite not ronsider it a insult to be_called one. ‘Well I would just a same, because I dont like the sound of it, and anybody that calls it to me is going to get a bust in the snoot that will nock their frunt teeth down their back throat, Reddy sed, and I sed, Well then I wont call you a funny face pazooky. And after a while I sed, Would you consider it a insult #f I called you a nock kneed parrot toe? Hay look at here, you cut that out, Reddy sed, and I sed, Why, whats a matter, dont get sore, I didnt call you a nock kneed parrot toe, did I? No, and if you wunt to keep your good helth out of the hospittle you better not, Reddy sed, and I sed, All rite, dont get excited, I wont call you a nock kneed parrot toe, or a one leg- ged hippopotamist or a funny face pa- zooky either. ‘Well then shut up about them, and if you ask me about another insult 1l give you.a kick in the slats just for good luck, Reddy sed.

There used to be a line in the King’s Daughters motto that rexd, “Look out, mot in." I would like to write that line in every mother’s heart, in the heart of every child, every teacher, in the land. “Look out, not in.” If a child can learn to do that he will be healthy, wealthy and wise, and much beloved into the bargain. “I'll take Sonnie, but I won't take Margie.” s g. poor Margie.

Reason for the Cross Child. What on earth makes Jimmy so cross? He does nothing but cry. If I speak to him he cries. If he doesn’t get his way the first thing he cries. All day long that child’s mouth is open, howling. It just drives me wild. When the child is going through the cross, irritable period between 2 and 4 or thereabouts it is helpful to look less at the child, and more keenly and criti- cally at his surroundings. Just play is not always enough to keep some chil- dren interested. And play interests change so rapidly, tod, that what en- | trances the child at eighteen months may bore him to ready tears at two and one-half years. The kindergarten period is close at hand with some 4 year olds, and they are ready to take up those new and developing interests. It is difficult for parents to keep pace with the child. Just as the mother gathers what she feels sure is a choice selection of toys that would keép any child happy, she finds the child no longer interested in them. There may be nothing wrong with the toys or with the child but perhaps this particular selection of simple toys no longer 1 stimulates his interest, or possibly the toys may be so advanced that he must wait a few months or even years before they will serve to amuse and inspire m. Being cross is not enjoyable to the child. He'd far rather be happy. He can't always tell you what is wrong, even if you ask him. Often he nees companions his own age. It is pitiful when a lonely child has to develop ail his play interests alone. Some children manage by bringing an imaginary com- panion to life, dubbing him Mary or John and making him the confidant of their play plans, and a participant in them. Sometimes these rather pathetic substitutes for flesh and blood children grow more real to their creator than any child on the street. There is dan- ger in letting this go too far, for play companions never criticize, they never quarrel, they never differ with their small companion and children can't develop normally under such placid and ideal conditions of play. They have to learn to meet adverse situations and hurdle obstacles. If the well child is cross, the mother must cease being satisfled with his sur- roundings, no matter how splendid they seem to her. We have a leaflet con- taining lists of toys and xrlniI apparatus which may help to decide what may be wrong with the present assortment of playthings — send @& self - addressed, stamped envelope with your request, | please—then the next step is an even deeper one. Is it need for companion- ship? Physical handicaps? Fatigue is a state of which all children are not aware. Or just lack of inspiring play material? There is always a reason why little boys and girls are cross. Potato Patties. Select rather long potatoes of uni- form shape and size. Pare, cut off a slice, then hollow to make cups of thin shells. Let stand in cold water unti] about ready to serve, then wipe drimlnd fry in deep hot fat. The shells should cook until tender in about 8 minutes. Drain on soft paper at the oven door. Sprinkle the inside with a little salt and use as receptacles for cooked peas that have been seasoned with salt, sugar, black pepper and butter. Creamed fish, chicken or almost any kind of vege- tables may be served in these patties. The patties should be eaten with the contents. WHO REMEMBERS? BY DICK MANSFIELD. Registered U. 8.

Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. July 10, 1865.—President Johnson was much refreshed today and able to re- ceive a large number of visitors at the ‘White House, largely as the result of a trip which he took down the Potomac River as far as Aquia Creex, Va. and back yesterday. Among those who ac- companied him were his daughter, Mrs. Patterson, and his son Frank. They went on the steamer Don, which was part of the late Potomac flotilla. It was about 9 o'clock last night when the party got back to Washington. George A. Atzerodt, one of the four persons who were hung here a few days ago for alleged conspiracy in conneetion th the late President Lincoln’s assas- | | sination, confessed to his part in the plot | hi | just before he died, according to articles printed in the new papers here toda One of the plans of the conspirators, Atzerodt is alleged to have said, wi to abduct President Lincoln from Fore ‘Theater. An actar was to turn off the gas and plunge the whole interior of the theater into darkness to facilitate the carrying out of this plot, according to this story. What was to have been done with Mr. Lincoln after he was abducted seems to be somewhat hazy. Anyhow, for various reasons, the whole plan fell through. The story, with many circum- stantial details, is related in the news- papers today. Atzerodt, referring to the assault upon Secretary of State Seward on the same night that President Lincoln was mur- dered, said that one of the plans to entrance to tary Seward's would have involved several oth- ers in the act, if it had been successful. He is reported to have confessed that he made the acquaintance of a woman living near the Seward residence, who was to become acquainted with a serv< ant. The servant in turn was to intro- duce Booth into the Seward home, so that he could learn something about the location of the rooms and the general interior plan of the house. This scheme also apparently failed. Payne, another of the four executed conspirators, is quoted today as having said just before his execution several days ago to Col. Doster, his counsel, that he wanted to “die in peace with God and man” and that he did not want to live, “even if President Johnson would spare his life.” Payne is also alleged to have said that Atzerodt was innocent of any attempt at murder. The surviving Immeu, who were among those tried for cvm?lncy in con- nection with the death of Mr. Lincoln and the attacks on other Government officials, will probably be sent in a day or two to the penitentiary at Albany, N. Y. They are Dr. Samuel A. Mudd, Samuel Amold, Michael O'Laughlin and Edward Spangler. Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. ‘They look very much like “Mary, Mary, quite contrary’s flowers, all in & row” ‘these little pans and dishes; but don't they look charming, and don't they add a touch o{ quaintness to a kitchen. This is the result of making the most of little. Economy to be practiced made it necessary to get along without a kitchen cabinet and very little, money was required for the material for the two shelves and brackets. No paint was required, so you can see how little expense was incurred in creating this arrangement. The tops of the shelves were covered with oflcloth and the edges trimmed with bias binding, ‘The walls and woodwork in this kit- chen are pale yellow, the floor covering bllé!k an crelmh:nd the B&l‘!lfbemdgm an “Vfifll)‘ green, e being black.” Rick-rack braid cnuld“g used in place of the binding; angd, of course, window curtains shol match ruffles on the shelves.

Peter and Jerry simply stared. They were most impolite about it. They were most rude. But they were to be excused, for never had either seen any one at all like this stranger. To begin with, this stranger was not quite so big as Longlegs the Great Blue Heron, but in shape he was the same. There was no doubt at all in the mind of either Jerry or Pete that this was a member of the Heron family. He was all white—beautiful snowy white—save his legs and feet, which were black, and his bill, which was yellow. Being white, he looked larger than he really was. In fact, at first Jerry and Peter hadn't realized that he wasn't as large as Longlegs. When they got a good look at his back, Peter gave a little gasp. “Oh!” he exclaimed. “Just look at those feathers on his back! Did you ever see lnygmng lovelier, Jerry Muskrat?

For some little time this beautiful stranger stood straight and still, his long white neck stretched to its full length. He stood just as Jerry and Peter had seen Longlegs the Heron stand many times. He was making sure that all was safe. Neither Peter nor Jerry moved. They sat as still as They were what e | the stranger stood. At last the stranger drew in his neck and took two or three rather stately steps.
