Impy didn't know who it was, but he did know that he ! was very, very much afraid. It was! the first time he had seen Buster Bear. | Indeed, he hac not even heard of | Buster. But something inside him told | him that if he wanted to continue to, frisk about happily it would be best e ] LOOKED INTO THE TREE. to remain out of reach of this big, black fellow. “Woof!

Buster's nos2, his wonderful nose, had found the place where Impy had climed th: trunk of the tree. ‘That is why Buster. said that he| smelled Chipmunk. He sat down on | his haunches and looke¢ up in the tree. His little eyes—for they are small for his size—had a hungry look in them. It was enough to make every hair on any one's coat stand on end, and that is just what every hair in Impy's black coat was doing. Now, Imply didn't move. It wasn't because he didn't want to move; it was because he couldn’t move. He couldn’t move Dbecause he was too frightened to move. ‘That is one af the ways in which Old Mother Natufe sometimes looks after her children.

This must be brushed away before the case can be laundered. Do the work out-of-doors. Wear a close-fitting dusting cap or a bathing cap so that the hair will be entirely protected. Wear a cotton or linen dress. Either will shed the feathers, and such down as remains can be brushed off in a few moments. Turn the case wrong side out, and shake vigorously. Stand so that the down will fily away from and not toward . After no more down wlil be re- md by shaking, use a stiff brush or whisk and go over the case until all the down is removed.

The washing can be done in a wash- ing machine or in tubs, If the down remained, this would clog the machine or the drain pipes, but’ being free from it, the case is laundered as any other article. A little washing soda should be put into the washing solution, for the soiled places on a ticking are slightly olly from the oil of the scalp.

Briefly put, the work is done as follows: Shake the featheis down to one end of the cheesecloth case Run a basting thread three-quarters of an inch below the seam at the end, free of feathers. Pull out the stitches of the seam. Baste the open end of the ticking case to the cheesecloth case about onc inch below the basted seam in the cheesecloth case. Pull out the basting thread from the cheesecloth case by pulling the knots at each end of the seam. These must be left visible for this purpose. Shake the feathers through this opened seam into the ticking case. As the cases are completely jolend, no feathers or down will fly out. When all the feathers have been transferred again into the case, baste the ticking together, Tip off the cheesecloth case, overhand the ticking seam, and pull out the basting threads.

Buster also is very fond of nuts of ccrtain kinds. He is especially fond of beechnuts, and these re the nuts that Impy was most interested in just then. Buster sniffed around on the ground for a few minutes and th:n whined. It was a whine of disappointment. Yes, sir, that is just what it was—a whine of ‘disappoiniment. There wasn't a nut on the ground. He came back to the tree and looked up in it. Impy was sure that Buster was looking for him. He wasn’t, for he didn’t even know that Impy was there. For a few moments, which seemed ages to Impy, Buster sat there at the foot of the tree, looking up. Then he arose to his full height. He stood up on his hind feet. Yes, sir, he stood up just like a man! Impy very nearly let go and dropped when he saw this.. er reached up, dug his claws into the bark and a second later he was climbing that tree. There wasn't then the shadow of doubt in im that his beat itself to pieces. As a matter of fact, Buster Bear was climbing that tree to see if he could shake off any of the nuts. Already he had forgotten the smell of Chipmunk. But Impy didn’t know this and so he was frightened almost to death. DAILY DIET RECIPE FIG PUDDING. Chopped nuts, one cup. Sliced figs, one cup.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1930 IX’S LETTER BOX Why It Is Important to Provide a Nice Home for One’s Family. DEAR MISS DIX—My husband told me to ask your gdvice on this problem of ours. We have six fine boys running from 17 years to 5, and we live in a small house in which we are crowded to death and which has not even any furnace to heat it. ‘We own two more cottages near us that we rent and have between $30,000 and $40,000 saved up, and we don’t owe anybody a penny. Now I want more room and a comfortable house and my husband thinks I am %ool- ish. The boys want a nice home and are always pointing out pretty houses. We have a chance to buy a house that will just suit us at a the question 1s, shall we buy this house or not? Answer.—By all means buy it. great bargain, and MRS. F. I am strong for home ownership and I be- lieve that every family should have just as pretty and comfortable a home, with just as good furniture in it, as possible. ‘To a man it may not make much difference where he lives, nor whether there his are plenty of closets, nor what kind of paper is on the walls, nor whether wife has a kitchen that is a bride’s dream. He may be satisfled if he has a comfortable chair to sit in and a good bed to sieep in and if his wife somehow conjures up a good meal on the wreck of a gas stove. is her castle. But to a woman her home It is the center of her life and to have it nice and comfortable and something she can be proud of does more than any other one thing to make So a good home is something that every man owes his wife. ‘There is nothing like a nice home to solve the problem of keeping the chil- dren in the straight and narrow path. Truant officers say they find that there are fewer delinquent boys and girls among home-owning families than among those who rent It gives the children self-respect and a sense of responsibility It is from the little, crowded-up homes, where these is no place for a boy to play or have his things or invite his pals, that come the hoodlums. Boys and girls who have been thrust on the street in their very in- fancy play and learn the manners and morals of the street and get in with street gangs. e & DOROTHY DIX. ])BAR MISS DIX—I am engaged to a man that I admire very much and who has every quality that a girl would require in a husband. When I.am with him I am perfectly contended and never tire of his company, but when I am away from him I do not know. whether I love him or not. and a business girl. I am 27 years old Do you think that I have just become hard to please and so well satisfied with my present condition that I hate to think of changing it? ANXIOUS. Answer.—Young girls rush into matrimony without a qualm of misgiving, just as little children rush before a speeding automobile because they are too untaught to realize their dange about marrying, because she has seen astrously. The older a woman Is, the more she hesitates many marriages that turned out dis- Especially is this true of business women. They get disillusioned about men, because they see so many men unfaithful to their wives and hear so many men making lying exeuses to their wives over the telephone. Also, the business girl who earns a good salary has no need to marn for support, and as she contemplates her latchkey and her individual pocket she wonders if any man is worth giving them up for and if it isn't wise to heed the old proverb and let well enough alone. So there is no wonder that your mind is filled with doubts as to the wisdom of marrying. But don't forget this, that, while marriage is the greatest of all gambles, it has the biggest of all prizes-and it is worth taking a pretty big risk for. For 80 other happiness in the world is so complete as that of the woman who gets a good husband and who has children and a real home, I can think of no better test of the state of your affections than that you never tire of the man and that he always interess you. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1930.) OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRL Careful Children. It is pitiful to see Jane try to pack her books, cross-the road, write a com- | position. Her brow is threaded with care. Her hands are damp with pers- piration, She pants for breath at every new effort. Careful about many things she goes through the world carrying a heavy burden. 2 This child needs the care of a good chifdren’s specialist. The first thing we do with her is take her to his office and ask for the most thorough exami- nation he can make. She is to be set right from head to heel, so that there may be no physical basis for this fear. A healthy child never has it. ‘When you see a child go back the second and third time to make sure he has washed his- hands, when he looks into his portfolio again and again to assure himself that he has his home- work with him, when he puts his work cautiously on this shelf, takes it up in and puts it on another, then re- ces it with doubtful hands, carry him off to the genial doctor who under- stands such things and helps the chil- dren do away with them. Fear, and this is one kind of fear, usually has a physical basis. I say usu- ally because I have a streak of that same caution—I am not certain about .| the behavior of any child under any sgrllicd dimity are sturdy fabrics for this cunning play costume.

Drain and cover again with boil- ing water and let stand for 10 minutes.

A healthy body is filled with courage and joy. Joy. ‘The home must help. Wateh the household and see if there'is one among you who nags this child, one who keeps correcting him continually, for the child’s own good, of course. Watch to see if there is one before whom the child shirks, tries to hide, remains still and silent. If there is such a person his influence must be removed before the child can be strong and confident. ‘There are older people who torture chil- dren without knowing they do so. They want to make the child perfect, and there is none perfect among us. How could a perfect child ever stand the rest of us? Try to inject a little humor into the situation. Be careful that it is not edged humor for that wounds a child past all cure. Make little jokes with the child in private. A joke held in secret is a great source of confidence. It establishes a bond between you d a child that lasts long. Tell funny lit- tle stories. Try to make the mealtimes cheerful. Try to put the child in the best possible light always. It is not helpful to criticize such a child before others. If anything per- sonal must be said let it be in praise. Let the stranger carry away the idea that the child is doing well. That, too, | will help, for public opinion has much to do with careful children, MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. Her Own Announcer. Mary got tired of practicing her music lessons so I suggested to her she pre- tend she was broadeasting. This ap- pealed to her very much. Of course, she has a stated hour when she goes “on and off” the air and she knows that she must not deviate from this schedule. First her exercises are ‘broadcast, she announcing between each one what it is. ‘There is always a little time left over for' “request numbers” ir. which some member of the family asks for certain old favorites which they know Mary can play. She has been doing this now for several months and has not tired of the novelty.yet, so I am hoping it will hold her interest for quite a while. (Copyright. 1930.)

She made the curtains for both up- per and lower sash and hung the lower one so that the curtain when up with the window when it was raised. This was done by putting the rod on to the window sash itself. She used no draperies, since she needed every available bit of light that could come through the windows. ‘The dining room was curtained in the simplest manner possible. Here, too, she dispensed with the draperies (and how she did hate to hear people say, “Oh, you have no drapes, have you??"”) It was all that she could do to refrain from telling them that the correct word was “drapery” and not “drape.” Draj is a verb, not a noun, ipple green marquisette. hu;l:e straight and fairly full. might have chosen voile or one of the rayon, celanese or bemberg fab- RN 'Hlilll | rics.
