WOMAN’S PAGE. Bows Play Important Part Bows are to fashions for lay an important part Ll& ‘Winter and Spring. medium sl thin bows, prim nonehalant sort. ppear on hats and on blouses, ®m frocks and on shoes. One clever we know says that she always have at least one bow included ensemble—sometimes more than g times she wears a ribbon around her wrist, tied in a small bow in lieu of & bracelet, and she is much in favor of the new evening slippers with small bows of silk or velvet. Some of the new cotton or linen dresses for Palm Beach wear are made with bows of the fabric tied at the cen- ter of the Veneckline or at the center of the belt. Sometimes a strip of ma- around the lower edge of is tied in & prim al teri the short sleeves and ized | small bow just above the elbow. Bows made from fabric are usually not tied in the traditional way. The strip is folded so that there is a loop and an end at each side and then a short separate strip of the same mate- rial is brought around the center and sewed in position on the wrong side. This makes a flatter trimming than the bow all tied from one strip. If you are planning to make bows of material for any of your washable dresses, the strips should be arranged 80 that they may conveniently be un- tied when ‘the dress is washed and ironed. Cut two strips of material of the desired length and width, plus a quarter of an inch all around for turn- ing in. Put the strips together, right sides facing, and stitch a quarter of an inch along the two long sides and one short end. Now with the help of a blunt pencil turn the strips right side out. Turn in the edges that have been left open and overhand neatly. The small strip to be used for the center of the bow may be made In the same way. ‘The sketch shows a folded bow-like trimming for a blouse. The mat:rial is cut, two pieces, like the diagram, and seamed along all edges, leaving & space big enough so that you can turn the thing right side out like a pillowcase. Pull the points out neatly, and stitch or press around the edges. Then fold along the black lines and the dotted lines. Lay a double strip of the mate- rial across the folded ornament and sew it into place. Pear and Cranberry Pie. Remove the cores from one and one- half cupfuls of dried pears and cut into vips. Combine the pears with onc nd one-half cupfuls of cranberries. | Add one and one-half cupfuls of water. | one cupful of sugar and one-fourth tea- spoonful of salt. Boil for 15 minutes. Add one tablespoonful of butter. Add one tablespoonful of cornstarch mixed with two tablespoonfuls of cold water and stir constantly until the mixture bolls and is thick. Pour into & pastry- lined pie pan. Cover the top with strips of pastry. Bake for about 45 minutes in a hot oven. Apple Croquets. Mix two cupfuls of unsweetened thick apple sauce with one shredded wheat biscuit shredded fine, three-fourths teaspoonful of salt. two tablespoonfuls of sugar and one-fourth teaspoonful of nutmeg. Chill, then shape like apples, egg and crumb them and fry. Stick a clove into each apple to repre- sent the blossom end of an apple. It will take about four minutes to fry them. Boys’ Taste in Books BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON. Ralph! Oh, Ralph! Where are you?" "H;: Dad, what s o “I'vé brought home & book I wlnm réad.

It's good for yo Ralph made a face. “Can’t I have a couple of eges?” “You'll eat what you're given or nothing.” Ralph's book diet and his food diet were superimposed. Often food diet has to be so, but with books it is different. So many parents overdo the book idea at the wrong age, or rather do not make a study of the psychology that lies behind the love of good books. In the first place a bg; or girl goes through certain cycles development in which certain things have a special appeal. Adventure, well told, is as much & classic as the life of old Peter ‘Whoosit. Moreover, if children are to gain a general knowledge in their early days of the world and its people, that knowledge should be put over, and is, in a hundred books that use some de- lightful agency to gain the attention of the reader. I've seen many parents turn away from gorgeous books in_store, turned out for boys and girls, simply because they had the word “Adventure” on the back, or the picture of a pirate or a cowboy. They have made up their minds that anything associated with romance of that sort is a time waster. And that is such a mistake. But the Ml!ut thing of all is that if we want children to read we must begin with books they understand, and that come easily within the scope of their comprehension. The book habit can never be established by reading to Eliza- beth Jane, five years old, the story of Barbara Frietchie. Elizabeth Jane will et the idea that all books are like this. he doesn’t understand Barbara Friet- chie, s0 she decides all books are bores and only to be endured politely while all the while she wishes she were out play- ing. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. FOOD PROBLEMS BY SALLY MONROE. About Milk. There are, of Course, some persons with whom milk does not agree, just as there are persons who seemingly do not thrive on eggs. Remember this, however—that milk should not be taken at the same time with acids—even with acid fruit. It should not be used as a beverage at a meal where proteins are amply sup- plied by meat, legumes or cheese. An- other point is to be kept in mind. Milk, being a fluld food, leaves the diet lacking in bulk or roughage. If you use milk as a food, include plenty of_ vegetables and fruit in your diet. If you do not eat them at the same meal with milk, be sure that you have them at some other meal in the 24 hours. Carrots and Eggs. Scrape and cut a bunch of young carrots into half-inch lengths and boil in salted water. Drain and put in a dish. Add melted butter and pepper and then four well beaten eggs. Cook in the oven until the eggs are set. Serve immediately, but before sending to the table garnish with minced parsley. Flower Garden Quilt Pattern Holly. The holly berries will be red, of course. The center leaf with the edge turned back should be in two tones of green. the darker used for the part turned over. The three other leaves should be dark green. The top stem, which 18 very narrow, should be em- broidered in the same shade of green as the leaves, the wider siem at the bottom, dark green. Directions: The designs should be ap- pliqued on fine white muslin or broad- cloth. Cut each block 9 by 12 inches. If the white fabric used as a back- ground is fine enough it may be placed overpaper and the pattern traced in the mldlfie of the block in pencil. Otherwise use carbon paper for tracing. First, ST i trace the pattern in the center of the white block. Second, trace the floral design on the different colored materials, and stem. Third, turn narrow hems an applique, following traced pattern on white bleck. Bowls may be appliqued in any color desired. The narrow stems may be embroidered in 6-strand em- broidery thread. Applique the heavier ones. strips of green material. These designs may be done in col- ored embroidery threads, using outline stitch. Designs also may be ued for pillows, cushion, lamp-shades, waste paper baskets, corners of curtains, bed- spreads and paneled on doors of child- {ren’s cupboards. - You may obtain the full-sized pattern | for the holy applique’ free if you will | write for it.

C. PEATTIE. The calling of a cardinal, down the valley near my house, is always a magical event in Winter time. Bird g in Winter is like water in the esert, strawberries in_January, mimosa sprays in February. It reminds me of the happy fact that we are situ: here in the District of Columbia, the southern half of the Appalachian life- zone, where Winters are not too severe and bird life and plant life never go into the total eclipse of Northern regions. That bold master cardinal should yelp and holler,” as a country child who lives near me so graphically, if un- poetically, expresses it, all in the deep, dead middle of Winter and weather, is the most heartsome and cheerful fact I know tcday. There will be Summer droughts; there will be bng | and | plagues; but still, of a fine frosty morn- | years; there have been wars ing, the fat red cardinal is heard, all in his love of being alive. Why birds sing raises inevitably the old controversy between the mechanists and the vitalists. The simplest answer is that birds sing to attract their ma our young swains murmur sweet noth- ings in Sylvia's ear: that nobody needs to teach them. Such is the mechan- istic explanation, but the trouble with the pleasing, the almost mathematical simplicity of mechanistic theories of life phenomena is that they are tco “pat.” Only on paper are problems so readily disposed of. Master Cardinal, for instance, is not engaged, in the dead of Winter, in looking for a mate. A young bird’s fancy lightly turns in that direction about next April. Why, then, is the cardinal singing now? The vitalist school of thought is ready with an answer. Because he is full of life. Ab, say the vitalists, what is it, indeed? Nobody knows. Nobody can ever know. | It's futile, and indeed quite tiresome of the mechanists. to go looking for me- chanical explanations. Life is merely a rough | And what is life, you ask? | FARIS phenomenon, like time or space, not susceptible of explanation, not even needing any explanation.

OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRL Those Toys. Toys accumulate. Father brings home a woolly bear. Auntle finds a doll that is just the thing. Cousin Mary brings in a boxful of things she thought too lovely to be left behind in the shops. Uncle Godfrey specializes in balls and grandma in tiny automo- biles. Soon the child can scarcely see over the top of the heap. It seems to me that the toy store of the family ought to be administered better so that there is rotation of t a stimulation of different interests, an ability to be content with little and make the most of it. All of these points are valuable to the training of children. ‘Toys are the children’s togls. They educate themselves by their play. If there are too many toys on the scene the child sees none. knows none, gets nothing out of his riches. There must be a selection and as the children who use toys are t00 young to make selec- tions that are worth while, mother will have to do it. Try to have a closet for toys. A basement where children play is ideal for this plan. The closet can be handy to the play room. If there is a barn there can be a closet there. An attic, when one can be found, the right place for play and for toys that are stored. Select a few toys that interest the child. Always make sure to have one toy that he can do something to, or with, that will change the situation. Blocks do this; sand and modeling clay, and puzzles da this. Add one that pro- vides activity—balls are for this. And one that is passive, just a comfort toy, ch as a Teddy Bear, or a rabbit, or a little horse on whe Put 2all the toys that are not in use out of sight. Lock them up. Allow the child to play with those he is using until he seems to have need of Some- thing else. Then change off. Put the one he is weary of in the closet and let him have a new one. It is surpris- ing and pleasing, too, to discover that an old toy brings new joy. When toys are broken, take them away from the child. If they can be profitably mended, well and good. If not, throw them away and be done with them. It is distressing to the nerves of a child, to say nothing about those of the adult, to have a lot of broken toys about the house. Mend them or get rid of them.
