The material should be double the length of a line from the shoulders to the bottom of the skirt. Fold it crosswise in half. If you want & longer robe, measure double the length from shoulder to instep. Now slash up the front from bottom to top of the fold. Then cut in five inches from the end of the slash on each side—making & neck opening 10 inches long. That gives a sleeve length of 13 inches.

Giants, “Who is this uncircumcised Philis- tine that he should defy the armies of the living God?"—I Sam., xvii.26. David had just arrievd at Saul's camp, bringing food for his brothers in the ‘army. For the past 40 days Go- liath, the giant, has been challenging Saul to send & man to meet him in single-handed combat, the result to de- cide the issue between the opposing armies. But as yet no man has been found to accept the chuleng. Hearin; this, David’s blood turns to fire, an he shouts, “Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the 1t God?” Refusing Saul's armor, because he knew not how to use it, this shepherd lad took his little sling, with which he was thoroughly skilled, went forth and slew the mighty giant. Eliab, David's eldest brother, tried to dissuade him from this bold venture. Not having the courage to fight Goliath himself, he sought in a most cowardly manner to prevent David from doing it, charging him with conceit and tell- ing him he would do better to return to his sheepfold. And just so until this day, whenever & brave man appears on any field of battle—bold, daring, defying all giants— there are Eliabs on every hand, ready to accuse “him of conceit and egotism, and ready, if ible, to drive him back to obscurity, rather than have with applied band that is carried down the fronts and lower edge.

Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Habite are established by repetition of tne same act. The simple habit of crying with arpurpose is learned when baby discovers that each time he raises his voice in urgent plea, some one hur- Ties to his side and does something for him. ! As he grows older the baby has a growing appreciation of how pleasant this “something” can be. He does get tired of lying in one position. He does want new worlds to gaze u even though these worlds are merely the bed room, the dining room or the living room. Babies cry, because this is their only mode of expression, but if we con- sistently attach some agreeable atten- tion to the crying, it would be a pretty stupid baby who didn’t learn to raise his voice with this end in view. That is a bad habit. Foréstall Crying. Authorities agree that while baby should have every necessary attention and should not learn the habit of ery- ing, it is wise to forestall his erying by glving him attention before he yells for it, or by waiting until he stops yell- ing before rushing to his side. In this way he finds crying barfen of pleasur- able results and he looks eagerly for the attention when he is, what his mother terms, & “good” baby. Mrs, J. L. McD. has worked this out successfully and so we'll give her the floor: “I wonder if mothers would be interested in knowing how I solved the problem of playing with and giving baby necessary attentions without spoiling him? To begin with I tried to make a point of not picking him up when he was crying. If it was time to feed baby, or give him some atten- tion, I walted until he had stopped. I would not upset his schedule to any great extent but a few moments doesn't matter. Sensible Handling. “I play with him when I have occa- sion to carry him for legitimate rea- sons, upstairs, at feeding time, or simi- lar reasons. I play with him for a short time and when the play is over I divert his attention elsewhere so that he doesn’t object to being put down. “These diversions are a fresh view, & different room, his food, or his bath. When one thinks of the many times one has to carry baby gbout, one sees that there are nume; occasions for loving handling and , but not too much at any one time, He is nine months old and never cries to be glcked up, in fact prefers not to be andled for any length of time. He'd Another ad- vantage is that when he is sick or in real trouble picking him up is enough of a novelty to make him forget his ailments,” This is good, consistent training.

JESSE W. SPROWLS. Facing the Situation. Every-day psychology is a& question of every-day situations and how you meet them. In other words, it's a daily account about careerists, doing the best they can to carve out a career. Same have learned to their everlast- ing advantage that it pays to keep cool and let the situation take care of itself. This is a good recipe, for the simple reason that most human situations are complex. The complexities tend to check one another. And things in the end are not as bad as they seem in the beginning. So a good deal depends on the direction in which you look when you face a situation. Then there are those who have some- how discovered the art of sublimation. ‘This is just another way of saying that it pays to look at situations in terms of possibilities. In every situation you will find at least two satisfying alternatives, ‘You might feel like hitting some one. And the feeling might be so urgent that you can’t figure out how to keep yourself free from running into the arms of the law. Now, all you need to do is sublimate. If you can ronuwds your- self to listen to yourself, just say to yourself that the subject of your wrath not worth it. Of course, you know how it feels to have some one steal your right of in trafic. You may resolve the situa- tion and sublimate your feelings about it by consoling yourself that, no matter who had the right of way, you are not now on your way to the repair shop or the hospital.

After a woman has reached the age of 35 she must make some effort to keep her chin line clean-cut and youth- ful, One of the things which should be ‘given first consideration in prevent- ing or correcting the lines of a flabby throat is correct posture. Any exercise that necessitates correct posture of neck and chin is good for improving the throat line. And just as serious a defect«to loveliness as the flabby throat is the throat which is too thick. Cor- rect posture and exercise are needed to improve this type of throat also. In addition to correct posture, the following exercises are very good for keeping the chin line correct: (1) Stand before an open window, hold your chin up and take a few deep breaths, (2) Throw the head back and ‘whistle or blow through the pursed lps. (3) Sit or stand erect and slowly lower the head backward bet: the shoul- ides and raise the chest. Slowly raise the head. Repeat the exercise six to _ten times. The following more stremuous exer- cise will help to strengthen the throat muscles, and may be undertaken after these first few simple ones have be- come very easy to do. Lower the head until the chin rests on the chest. Then throw the head back. Turn it to the left side, then to the right side in a relaxed position. This exercise may be varied by rolling the head from side to side while it is hanging back. Though rather difficult to do at first, this exer- cise will ually become easier, and it is splendid for .keeping the chin line way | clean-cut and strengthening sagging throat and chin musc In addition to exercise, massas fine for keeping the chin line from be- coming flabby.

CRAIG. July 23, 1798 —Correcting an_ over- sight in the plans for the new Federal City, as originally presented by L'Enfant and approved by t Washington, John Adams, second Pres- ident of the United States, today gave his official approval to the public spaces that had been determined upon by L'ErkA:lntdlng" Gen. “:anhln‘wn for parks and other public pl pur- poses in the new city. “’“ The right of the three City Commis- sioners to divert to public use any of the land held by them in behalf on the United States within the city limits has been the subject of a long and some- what animated controversy. At one period the Commissioners renewed their recommendation that the public spaces be designated and a few months later President Washington approved a list | of 17 of such reservations. - But as the Ylw of the city on which they were delineated was not attached to the President’s official proclamation, it was held that the Commissioners had no legal right to use this land for pub- lic purposes, even though the adjoining property holders were, for the most | part, perfectly willing. | It was to correct this apparent over- ;‘lhl that President Adams acted to- | ay. The tgnlon has peevailed generally | up to time that a great future is in store for the néw Federal City. The | heavy speculation in real estate which | has resulted has caused some persons to fear that the speculators are count- ing on a too rapid growth of the city and therefore are doing harm to the new enterprise. v Numerous suggestions have been made in the last few years for the use of various sections of the city originally intended by L’Enfant for public parks. One suggestion has been that the Mall be “offered as sites for foreign Minis- ters, without diverting the ground lying between the President’s House and the Capitol for the purpose of being public pleasure grounds.” “Some persons even suggested that Maj. L’Enfant, when he drew the plans for the city, intended that the Mall be put to this use. ‘The Commissioners are understood even to have gone so far as to write a letter 09 Minister Prigo of Spain, saying that a’site for his use would be set aside in the Mall, JOLLY POLLY A Lesson in English.
