Some ultra-conservative individuals select only those of fine, pure white linen, plain or with very fine embroidery. Other women choose fine linen handkerchiefs with a touch of color to match or harmonize with the dress with which the handker- chief is to be carried. Some women consider the occasion carefully before selecting a handkerchief. For sports they choose rather loud sports hand- kerchiefs. ‘They choose small, fine linen squares to put in their purse when they are shopping or lunching in town. For afternoon the choice may be & still finer linen or an inconspicuous chiffon handkerchief, and for evening @ handkerchief that is chosen specially to go with the dress, matching the jew- elry or ‘the dress in color. The sketch shows a number of the new handkerchiefs and a little hand- kerchief case that you may make to hold them. You will need two pieces of colored satin or silk crepe about & half yard long and 8 or 9 inches wide. Between the two pieces of silk put cot- ton sheet wadding to make a soft pad, and sew up at the eiges so that when folded over you have a flat case for the handkerchiefs. You can make the case 50 that when folded it is square or ob- long. Finish the upper side of the folded case as shown in the sketch. To do this cut a small square of silk of contrasting color, turn in the edges and apply by means of French knots and make little fesioons with embroidery and French knots at the four corners of the square. Put a snapper on the edges of the case where they meet when If you like, you may put some of your favorite sachet in the padding, or you may lay a small pad of cotton moistened with a few drops of your favorite perfume inside the pad. FAMOUS PERSONAL DIGS Andrew Jackson Put James Buchanan in His Place. BY J. P. GLASS. “I PRESUME, MR. PRESIDENT, YOU WILL CHANGE YOUR ATTIRE.” James Buchanan told the story of how Gen. Jackson “put him in his place” at Jeast a hundred times. Mr. Buchanan came back from Russia in 1834, ending the special mission to which President Jackson had appointed him in 1832. He immediately was elect- ed to the United States Senate by the Pennsylvania Legislature to fill the un- expired term of William Wilkins, who resigned to succeed Buchanan in the Russian mission. At Washington he encountered a beau- tiful Englishwoman whom he had met in London. She had come to America to see the sights and her heart ached goh:rowu her tour with a grand event. that magnificent hero, Gen. Andrew Jackson, the President of the United Btates, “Old Hickory” himself. “Nothing could be easier,” said Mr. Buchanan, pi tly conscious of the fact that he could open the doors of the ‘White House to the fair lady, They %:lmend to the Executive Mansion ere the Senator left the English- NANCY PAGE Bills Do Not Bother Good Budgeteers BY FLORENCE LA GANKE.

How, oh, how, did the Page family spend so much money, and for what? She ‘had had a course in household budgeting at college. Now was the time to get out her note books.

Of course, the check did not show what items had been purchased | at a department store, but it gave them | general idea of where their money had gone. | For instance, they discovered that a meighborhood drug store had received | about $200, and very few drugs had been purchased, at that.

She was. ‘The speaker gave the same advice as Nancy's note books, but added some pertinent helps. For instance, a be- in budgeting should not try to too itemized an account. She should remember that hit-and-miss ding is the wasteful kind, because 18 50 litle to spow for the money end of the month. And she stressed the one had ‘wished, in short, to be presented to | su] woman in the reception room while he ascended, with easy familiarity, to the President’s private quarters. The gen- eral was having a comfortable afternoon to himself. He was in an old dressing gown and smoking & corn-cob pipe as |b.¥ he warmed his slippered feet at a cheer- ful wood fire. His hair was rumpled, his face rough with beard. Mr. Buchanan involuntarily compared this startling figure to himself. His bachelorhood had never deadened his desire to make himself pleasing in the eyes of ladies. He was addicted to spot- less cravats tremendous expanse of snowy collars, and complacent always over the fact that his large n::l.‘nv was down?” * “I'd be very glad to,” said the gen- eral, the most gallant man of his day. cl dent decide Mr. “you will change your attire.” Gen.

He said evenly: “Buchanan, I want to give you a little plece of advice which I hope you will remember.\ I knew & man once who made his fortune by attending to his own business. Tell the lady I will see her presently.” Buchanan went downstairs, red and humiliated. Soon after came the Presi- dent. He was dressed in a full suit of black, cleanly shaved and with his stubborn white hair neatly pompadoured above his remarkable face. He bowed to the beautiful Britisher with courtly grace and engaged her in conversation. Cranberry Relish.

Experience teaches most of what we lcan and cannot do with impunity. It teaches children the same lessons. When a parent constantly assumes responsi- bility for getting a child to school on time she can keep it up forever. “Hurry, hurry!” she implores him. “You only have ten minutes more.” She follows him to the door, helps him find his coat, runs for the book he has forgotten, pushes a clean handkerchief into his hand, and breathes a sigh of relief when he is finally out of the door and headed for school. Her child depends upon himself as soon as he is out of her sight. ‘Why should she be his prop and alarm clock at home? The following is a case in point: “What would you advise me to do 10 help a child of 8 who has a habit of tardiness?” writes Mrs. D. D. B. “What books could I give him to correct this habit?"” I have a feeling that this question is a somewhat ambiguous statement and that the child’s real trouble is general dila- toriness and not “tardiness,” which gives the impression only of being late to school. But I am answering the ques- tion as asked. At 8 years the child can and should be able to tell time. There should be a convenient clock and the child wakened in plenty of time to get through his dressing and breakfast and gt to school on time. Clothes should be laid out the night before. The bath can be taken at night, so as to make the morning wash- ing a short ceremony. The breakfast should be prompt. Other than this the mother should refuse to assume any re- sponsibility. If the child is late, let him take his medicine. The teacher may be warned that the mother is going to let the child manage his own time. The pupil’s openly expressed chagrin that he spoiled the class record and the teacher’s disapproval should be suffi- clent to spur him to promptness. There is sometimes a larger signifi- cance to tardiness. It may be due to fatigue from too late bed hours. It may be the result of physical handicaps which make the child lazy, dull and dis- interested in his school work. The re- luctance to face another day at school may slow his fingers so that he dreams over his dressing, putting off the evil moment when he has to rrul:\lll.r book dealing of tardiness, though you may have my list containing sug- gestions for books for children of all ages. All good books for children offer helpful suggestions in subtle forms for the right kind of living, and promptness is one of the minor but no less desirable virtues toward which a child should aspire. We have also a list of reference books on parental education which mothers should own and read frequently. es the nuggets of wisdom and advice in such books are not appreciated or even noted until the need for advice on some specific subject arrives.

Pity the Working Woman! DorothyDix[ e Everything Done to Make Tired Business Marn Happy—But What of Tired Woman? W!: re always talking about the tired business man. Indeed, he may be said to be almost our national hero, our favorite fair-haired child on whom we lavish tons of sympathy and whom we do our best to divert and amuse. ing yet simple books that will not call for too much mental effort are especiall written for him to read. Games are devised for his divertissement. Papers and magazines, filled with horseplay humor, attempt to win a smile from him. Wives are urged to pet and coddle him. Nobody ever mentions the tired business woman. Nobody hands her a word of sympathy. Nobody does anything to chirk her up. Nobody feels that she needs to have her mind taken off her labors. No low-browed books and papers are printed especially to appeal to her fatigued brain. Nor are husbands ever urged to remember what a tiring day their wives e had and to put on their tuxedos of an evening and hand wife out a bright and sparkling line of conver- sation. ‘This distinction that we make between the working man and the vorkl.ns woman is the more curlous because men, as a rule, are physically stronger an far more able to labor than women are, and because nature better fitted them for the job than it did women, and because the stress and strain of does not take such a toll of their emotions and nerves as it does of women's. You would think that if any one were going to be babied and pitied and catered to it would be the tired business woman. But not so. It is men who get all the breaks and all the consideration. It starts in the home. Look at the way mothers treat their soms and daughters when they start out to work. John may be a double fisted, husky lad with muscle enough to knock a bull down. Mary may be a frail and anemic creature who is nothing but a bunch of nerves. The end of his day's work leaves John just raring to play foot ball or golf or do something amusing on which he can spend his surplus energy. The end of the day’s work leaves Mary utterly exhausted. Nevertheless, when John and Mary come home, mother importunes John to sit in the easiest chair and rest himself and smoke & cigarette and she would never dream of such a thing as asking the poor, tired boy to do any chores around the house. But she expects Mary to hustle into a bungalow aprqn to help get the dinner and wash up the dishes afterward and lend a hand with taking care of the younger children and finishing up the ironing. Mother thinks John has a perfect right to spend all he makes, barring perhaps a little irregularly paid board, because the poor, dear boy needs some diversion after his hard work, but she thinks that all that Mary earns belongs to the family and that Mary doesn’t need any livelier amusement than sitting at home of an evening with her parents. * Furthermore, as every working women knows from her own experience, this same popular notion about its being so much less fatiguing to women to ‘wor] than it is to men prevails everywhere. Aunt Sally, for instance, wouldn't drez of writing to her nephew and asking him to stop on his way downtown and match a spool of silk. Nor would Sister Susan expect her brother to put in his Saturday afternoon holiday taking care of her children while she went to the matinee. And no one would expect a hard-working business man to sit up half the night, helping to make over an old dress. Aunt Sally doesn’t hesitate to ask her niece, who is a hard-working private secretary, to do her shopping for her. Sister Susan dumps her children on her whenever she wants to go anywhere and she would be considered a crabbed old maid if she didn't help nurse the sick and aid with the family sewing. ‘Worst of all and most unjust of all, sympathy and consideration that are 50 lavishly bestowed upon the tired business man are never extended to the housewife, though she is the hardest-worked laborer on earth. For her are no union ‘hours, no holidays, not even a Saturday afternoon and Sundsy off. Her work is never ending, for when mother stops, the fire doesn’t burn and the stove doesn’t cook and the floors are not swept and the beds are not made and everything is miserable and uncomfortable DOROTHY DIX.
