Peter doesn't often lose his temper, but he was very near to losing the suit may be of black wool crepe or faille silk with the blouse made of silk pique. Or you may prefer to carry out the color scheme in a more realistic manner, with the pot, stem and leaves of green and the flower of white. Re- member that cut-out petals are first ap- plied to the blouse as a foundation for the flower serving as a bacl d on which to attach an artificial pique flow- er of the sort that you can buy in any smart shop. A favorite way of wearing artificial flowers for evening or on. the dainty afternoon dress is to thrust a bunch of them through the narrow ribbon belt at the normal waist line. Usually they are placed a little to the left side and while they are worn in a casual sort of way, are usually sewn into the belt to keep them from slipping out of place. (Copyright, 1930.)

First he would see Striped Chipmunk on the old stone wall, then he would hear a little noise in the other direction and turning his head would see a black Chipmunk. When he looked back Striped Chip- munk would be gone, only to reappear where he had seen, or thought he had seen, the black Chipmunk. It was get- ting so that Peter didn't know whether he was dreaming or awake. He didn't know whether he was really seeing things or thinking that he was seeing things. But he had a strong suspicion that it was all the fault of Striped Chipmunk. 2 “If I ever catch that little scamp,” muttered Peter to himself, “I'll teach MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST. . Cantaloupes.

They are also very much unlike. These dif- ferences are summed up under the name personality. ‘The farther you are from the average, the more pro- nounced is your personality. You have to use the science of mathematics in order to determine the “whats” or quantities of your personality When you attempt to account for “whys” instead of counting “whats," you can find 21l sorts of sciences, near- sciences and superstitions to conjure with. We have space here for a con- sideration of only two supposed sources: one an organized superstition, the other an organized science. Many people still consult the stars. They assume, for no good reason at all, that astrology is a science. For ex- ample, they find it easy to believe that |- Mars has a lot to do with fiery, brave and bold temperaments. Astrology is at best a mere jumble of suppositiors. It explains nothing. More recently the sclence of chem- istry has demanded @ say on the ques- tion of the “whys” of personality. For example, it is argued that an excess of calcium will account for those long- boned, silent introverts who think a lot and say nothing. On that score Calvin Coolidge qualifies as a “calcium type.” ‘Then again it is argued that an ex- cess of potassium also creates a type, best illustrated by such a personality as Jack Dempsey, the fighter. If to this potassium you add a dash of sodium (the supposed brain-making chemical) you get Gene Tunney. Astrology turns to the huge and re- mote. Chemistry turns to the small and near. Nevertheless the facts about the “whys” of personality are still unknown. Wehn'l:: still wondéring how we get the SUB ROSA explain how Impy came by his. He has been keeping pretty much out of sight, but, of course, he has had to come out some time, and you and Sammy Jay and one or two others have had glimpses of him.” Peter gave & great 'sign. Striped Chipmunk looked at him inquiringly. “It’s a great relief,” said Peter. “What 1is a great relief?” asked Striped Chipmunk. “To know that my eyes are all right,” replied Peter, “and to know that I know that I'm awake. I remember that Reddy Fox one time had a son with a black coat, but I didn’t suppose that there ever was a black coat in the Chipmunk family. If I were in Impy's place, I know what I would do.” “What would you do?” asked Striped Chipmunk. “I would sleep all day and travel around at night,” replied Peter. “What for?” asked Impy, speaking for the first time. “Because I would feel safer then,” re- plied Peter. “I don't believe that even Hooty the Owl, despite his wonderful eyes, would be able to see you running around in the Black Shadows.” “Humph!” sald Striped CGhipmunk. “He wouldn't be able to see himself. You see, Peter, we Squirrels have been given eyes for light, not for dark. Now, it doesn't seem to make a great deal of diffrence to you whether you are run- ning around at night or in. the day- time, But it does make a great deal of difference.

They take everything and give tionship. It is nearer 90-10.” To this statement wives will rise up nothing. Marriage is not a 50-50 rela- en masse and reply that if this is true, it is men who get 90 per cent of the lucky breaks in matrimony and women who get the little end of the bargain. Nor will women admit that they are re- sponsible for the shipwreck of most of the marriages that go on the rocks. They will quote to you statistics that show that more than three times as many women as men are plaintiffs in divorce cases, and they will call your at- tention to the fact that most divorces are granted for unfaiihfulness, drunken- ness or the infliction of mental or physical cruelty. Then they will ask you if that doesn’t look as if women, as a rule, were better wives than men are hus- bands and as if women didn't try harder to do their duty in the holy estate than men do. Furthermore, they will point out that most women spend a lot of time and thought and effort in tryifg to keep their husbands vamped. ‘Then they will insist upon knowing how many men you are personally ac- quainted with who count their calories in order to maintain the boyish figures that their wives fell in love with or who read up on subjects that their wives are interested in so that they can spend a pleasant evening together discussing the length of skirts or whether they are going to wear sleeves or not, or who take the trouble to gumshoe around the topics that always rile friend wife, Of course, there are many shrewish, naggin| with their tempers. There are many slovenly, in wives who wreck their homes erent wives who are too lazy to make the effort to make their marriage a success, and there are plenty of just plain dumb wives who haven’t sense enough ever to learn how to handle' the men to whom they are married or to make happy homes. But, taking it by and large, more women than men make a deliberate, in- telligent, conscientious effort to make successes of their marriages. More wives try to keep their husbands in love with them than men try to make themselves attractive to their wives. And in nearly every family it is the wife who adapts herself to her husband, who learns how to keep the peace and who develops al- most a clairvoyant ability to read her husband's moods and know* when it is safe to tell him that the children need new shoes and the grocery bill is due. Any one who asserts that women are to blame for the failure of marriage and the prevalence of divorce must belong to the school of thought that holds' that it is not the love of liquor, but some peculiarities of his wife that drives a man to drink and that the reason that husbands are unfaithful is because wives persist in getting fat and 40 and losing their complexions.

JGUST Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. — ‘The use of both spoon and cup by baby himself, in a manner to success- fully convey food to his mouth, is not accomplished at any certain day or age. The legitimate use of both of these ar- ticles begins when baby can first sit up, and his early introduction to these useful utensils should be as playthings. All bables bang spoons on their feeding trays, and tiny cups are among the first toys. From familiar and untrained | juse of these to an imitation of the| | Mmother's actions, is a step which. is | rapid if the mother is willing. | Baby can have his cereal and vege- tables by spoon from the fifth month on. He can dig his head into a cup and while only a few trickles reach his tummy at first he can acquire more and more liquid in this manner if the mother offers it to him consistently by cup. If he is used to holding & spoon in his hand while his mother is feeding him it won't be long before he is prodding his cereal with it and making an effort to lift a spoonful to his mouth. These first attempts are always so awkward and messy that the average mother discourages them, preferring her own, neat, competent spoonfuls that reach their destination, instead of baby’s, which leave his mouth incrusted with cereal and sticky blobs on bib and r. But how is baby ever to learn this delicate ceremony unless he prac- tices it? One must shut one's eyes to the inevitable devastation with a view to the future joy of both when baby can feed himself. A child fed by the mother is inevitably indifferent to his food. Opening his mouth automatically while food is shoved into it deprives the infant of all zest for eating. He prefers his own active efforts, even if half his food is lost in transit. It is by such efforts that baby becomes independent of his mother, an independence which is nec- essary for his soclal development. One can only pity the mother who feeis it her duty to sit by a child old enough to feed himself and patiently wheedle | spoonful after spoonful into his reluc- tant mouth, interspersing each mouth- ful with a drink of milk. She is pa- tlent, conscientious but very short- sighted, for a baby’s whole develop- ment depends on the mother’s knowl- edge of when it is right and proper to :m;cl responsibilities from her shoulders o his. Even a 6-month-old baby, if he can | sit up, is capable of taking large por- tions of his liquid by cup. By the time he is 1 year old bottles are entirely out of the picture. The old, old ex- cuse that he won't take as much milk by cup as bottle can be used to indefi- nitely postpone his graduation from infancy to_ childhood and retard bhis mental and physical development in | every other particular. If he js given a spoon and cup to play with from an early age and despite his messy mis- takes is allowed to use them usefully he will in a remarkably short time be able to practice the art of feeding happily and expertly all by himself, AUNT HET BY ROBERT QUILLEN. “I was kind o’ miserable when ever'- | body else had on long skirts, but now | Tm glad my knees is the only ones in | town that's still a mystery.” (Copyright.. 1930, “SYM FEATUR ES. CELEBRATED GOLD-DIGGERS Peasant’s Daughter Cost Eric XIV of Sweden His Throne. BY J. P. GLASS. It does not follow that a practical- minded lady, one with an eye to the m‘s'm chance, may not make a good wife. Catherine, daughter of a poor Swedish peasant named Magnus, caught a King for a husband. She had a good deal to do with the loss of his throne, but the final chapter of their lives was a record of_touching devotion. Eric XIV of Sweden succeeded the great Gustavus Vasa, who cast off the rule of the Danish usurper, Christian II, in 1521, and established the inde- pendence of his country. Eric, however, had not the capacity of his great father. His youth was spent in wild indul- gences. Gustavus Vasa was an extraor- dinarily good King, but as a parent he was a complete failure. ‘The greatest ambitions were enter- tained for Eric. It was hoped to marry him to Queen Elizabeth of England, and at another time he was a suitor for the hand of Mary, Queen of Scots. Both ladies declined union with him. ‘The Swedish Ministers went else- where looking for a wife for Eric that ‘would strengthen their country’s stand- ing in Europe. The story goes that sometimes they had “scouts” out in two courts at one time. While the statesmen were thus em- ployed fate threw a monkey wrench that dislocated the entire proceedings. Pass- ing through the market place in Stock- holm, Eric’s eye was caught by the fresh beauty of a girl in charge of a fruit and nut stall. This was the lovely Cathe- rine, daughter of Magnus, whose co- quettish glances quickly enthralled the monarch. Eric loved her so much he gave up all idea of obtaining a royal wife, cast aside ail other female companions and made the peasant girl his Queen. ‘The Swedish people were not so charitable as to think Catherine guile- less. They believed her designing, and hinted darkly at some amorous love philter she had used to bewitch Eric. Eric’s brothers and their families were furious over the affair. This resulted in the King's determination to kill off the whole group, a little celebration which he is said to have planned for his wedding day. The majcontents were warned, kept away from the wed- ding, and not long afterward fomented a revolution. Eric was dethroned and thrown into prison, where, after nine years of solitary confinement, he was poisoned. His attachment to Catherine, which had largely been the cause of his ruin, continued unabated. He wrote her from his prison every day, and the letters abound with pessionate devotion. His peasant wife was equally faith- ful. Her conduct was so prudent that Eric's brothers gave her a considerable nsion and allowed her to retire with er children to Finland, where she sur- vived her husband by many years. (Copyright, 1930.)
