Party for Lincoln’s Birthday BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. 455 W))n)))/ ) a2 TEe S B VA NCaE NG IS - 9 93 THE HOSTESS, WEARING A HIGH HAT, PASSES ANOTHER HAT OF THE SAME STYLE CONTAINING NAMES ON SLIPS OF PAPER. This is a red letter week, for two festival days come in it, Lincoln’s birth- day and St. Valentine's day. A high hat party brings to remembrance the tall hat or top hat that is as closely allied with Lincoln as is the cherry tree with George Washington. Tag each person who comes to the perty witlf a silhouette of a high hat. On each should be written the name of some one to be present. Put the girls’ names in one high hat and the boys’ in another. The hostess picks one at ran- dom from the girls’ hat to give to eacl boy as he comes, and from the bo: hat for each girl. On the girls’ hat write supper partner, and on the boys' dance partner. for the first dance, and when refresh- ments are served the girl finds the boy whose name is on her high hat for the | suppertime. For this game the hostess should have written clearly the name Abraham Lincoln on as many high hats of white paper as there are persons in the com- pany. dent’s name answers to the following quiz are to be written on the hats: 1, a_member of a nomad tribe; 2, a cereal; 3, what we are reputed to think with; 4, two girls’ names: 5, two boys’ names; 6, a deadly reptile’ 7, to ascend; 8, an animal with horns; 9, moisture in A WASHINGTON BY HERBERT PLUMMER. F Pat Harrison, that lanky, silver- tongued Senator from Mississippi, ever had any doubts as to how his col- leagues regard him they should cer- tainly be dispelled now. For the other day they labeled him outright a good scout. And they did it in whole- hearted fashion, too. It happened this way: Down in Biloxi, Miss., they've been trying to get a public terminal erected. 'The War Department is will- ing to co-operate, but Biloxi has been told that it must raise $30,000 to- warad the construction cost. It has been a difficult task, and local contributions have been slow. So_the other day in the Senate Senator Har- rison asked that the conditions be modified to permit Biloxi to contribute ; $5,000 toward the first cost and $5.100 annually thereafter for five suc- cessive years. Rather an unusual request for Sen- ator Harrison to make. He had not submitted the idea to any of the rou- tine authoritles. e chief of engi- neers, the Budget Bureau, the Appro- briations Committee—none of these ad heard about it. 0 Senator Reed of Pennsylvania, irman of the Military Affairs Com- , told the Mississippian that his cience just wouldn’t permit him to approve of the thing. to make a point of order. Whether the Senate sustained him—well, that «was | up to the Senate. That was agreeable to_Senator Pat.| For there were only & half-dozen or MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST.

A prize should be given the player who has the most answers correct. An- swers to these secrets will be printed tomorrow. Refreshments can be served in high hats.

But when the question was stated by Vice President Curtis, Senator Reed demanded that a roll cail vote be had This was another thing. Senator Pat didn't want the question disposed of in that manner. He so told Reed. “Can't we get along without the veas and nays?” he pleaded with Reed “The unfortunate part about it is that many Senators are not now in _the | chamber. Theyll come back in here not as familiar with the question as we | are. Wiil not the Senator permit us to save time?” No, the Senator of Pennsylvania had plenty of time, “I have heard it said,” declared Reed, grinning at Senator Pat, “that the Sen- ator of Mississippi_could charm a bird out of a tree, but he cannot charm me out of the position I have taken.” There was nothing to do. A roll call was ordered. Absent Senators came trooping to the | floor, asking what it was all about They were told by those who had been on the floor that the issue seemed to be Pat Harrison. That was enough. Seventy voted for | his request. Only two voted against | him. LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE. ‘Whisseling.

OUR CHILDREN BY ANGLLO PATRI. | | Eyesight. | When a child fails in school, when the teacher sends home a note saying | that “this child is inattentive, he loses |his place in the reading lesson, for |some time now he has been losing | ground,” make it your first business to | have his eyes tested. ‘If the expert, |and none but experts should test the | evesight of chiidren, says the child | needs glasses, get them and insist that | the child wear them according to the physician’s directions. If a child cannot see well he can do nothing else well. His eyes teach him most of what he learns about the world. | If they tell him what is not so he is at | a great disadvantage. The worst of | this is that he does not know that he ! cannot see. Often poor vision is pain- less. The fatigue of the eyes results in a headache, in an upset stomach, in an irritable nervous condition and the pa- tient does not trace his trouble to his Behavior is based on physical fitness to a great extent. If you have a head- ache your temper is not what it might be in sweetness. If along with the| headache your nerves are twitching, your stomach is scratchy and gnawing your body clumsy and your movements heavy, you will not be a cheerful will- ing worker. You will do all sorts of strange thirfgs that will make people wonder at you and remember that you | once had a grandfather who. . . . Test the vision of the child who is making life a problem for himself and you. Sometimes the eyes do not need | glasces They need medical treatment and considerable care No physician will tell a child to wear glasses unless he needs them. What the eye man wants to do is to help the child to see, to conserve his vision, to make him comfortable and give him a chance. Some children dislike the idea of | glasses and fight against wearing them Insist that he wear them when they are needed. Tell the teacher that he is| to wear his glasses and to tell you if he does not do so. Once he has grown accustomed to them, and the longer he wears them at a time the sooner this will be, he forgets about thiem. When he finds that he is more comfortable, that he is doing better work, that his glasses help him to be what he wants to be, you will have no more trouble with him. The child who has glasses needs to| have them adjusted frequently. A larfl.ci share of their efficiency depends upon their being in position. If they drop, if they are up on one side and down on | the other they are doing no good. They are likely to do harm. The oculist who | makes the glasses is always happy lul cep them in good shape. An occa- onal visit to the shop is all that is necessary—and that is more than nec- essary. It is essential. Teach the children whose eyesight is good to care for it. They take it for granted and strain it by reading fine print in a poor light, by reading too much at a time. Eyes need frequent rests, a good light and clear type. They are well worth all the trouble they may cost in care. After all one only gets the one pair. They must last a life- time. They will if given half a chance. (Copyright, 1931.)

You can't figure out just which set of ideas ought to dictate the course of your be- havior. That's why some people have one standard of ethics for Sunday, and | another standard for the rest of the weck Have you ever wondered about those strange cases of forgetting names that you know as well as you know your own?

I have had many girls working for me, and then I did not know, so much about | what they did as when I was one of them. Of course I've seen 'girls who played truant, pretending they were sick. I even did it once or twice myself. But, on the other hand, I have worked many and many a day all day long with an aching back or a splitting headache. And I've cherished a co'd for a month that would have been cured in a day if I had stayed in bed. And I have seen dozens, no, hundreds, of girls doing the same thing.

High spirits of young people held too severly to an uninteresting job. But if they had done much of it their expected day's work weuldn't have been done, and they would have been fired without a minute’s notice. And there's the conscientious girl who will work hard at any job whether in- teresting or not.

Every littie while he would go to the edge of the dear Old Briar-patch and for a few minutes look out long- ingly across the snow-covered Green Meadows toward the Green Forest Little Mrs. Peter sighed. She knew the signs. She also knew how useless it would be to say anything. When Peter made up his mind to go he would go and there was nothing she could do to prevent him. At last_gentle Mistress Moon smiled at him through distant tree-tops and then rcse above those same tree-tops and flooded the Green Meadows with soft light. Peter could stand it no longer. There was something bewitch- ing in that moonlight. * He just had to go visiting. So, after sitting up for a long look around to make sure, or at least to make as sure as he could, that no enemy was watching, he siarted across Green Meadows. . Lipperty lip- perty lip, ran Peter.

He was nearly there when he saw what looked like a big Black Shacow move out from the Green Forest some little distance to one side of where he was headed for. The big Black Shadow was moving swiftly toward a point be- | tween Peter and the Green Forest. “Hooty under I he Owl!” exclaimed Peter breath, and changed his di- rection. Then Peter speeded up. Yes, sir, he speeded up. Lipperty lipperty lip, ran Peter and kept watch of Hooty without having to so much as turn his head, lipperty lipperty lip.

Every day when she came home from school she had anecdotes galore to relate to her aunt. She had to tell what teacher | had Faid, what the little boy in the seat | next to her had done, what Martha Jean, her bosom friend, had told her. “And Auntie, we have a secret, want me to tell you about it?” Aunt Nancy | explained to her that a sccret was kept between the two people concerned. She explained that a nice person never told a secret. Joan was quite impressed. | Later in the day she came to Aunt Nancy: “Can you and I have a secret, Aunt -Nancy?" “Of course we can What shall it be about?” And then Joan confided to her that she wanted to give Peter a valentine, but did not want him to know who sent it. They decided to keep the whole thing a secret. That evening when the dessert was being served and Joan had been sent | upstairs to see what her cousin Peter was crying about Aunt Nancy started | telling the day's doings to her husband. | | She was just in the middle of her story | about Joan and the v ine when Joan slipped into the room. “Why.

Choosing a coiffure for an oval face | with regular features is a simple matter because almost every pretty style of hairdressing is becoming to this type. The width of the face at its widest point, when it is a perfect oval, is two- thirds the length from the hairline above the forehead to the bottom of the chin. (A) { It is the unsymmetrical face with irregular features that is hard to suit with a becoming coifture. Professional hairdressers have evolved a few stmple rules for arranging the hair in these cases, and s7ce they are based on ex- perience atd artistic taste they are well | worth considering. Do you know, for instance, why a part in the coiffiure looks better on one side than on the other? The fact is that faces are seldom, if ever, exacily alike on both sides; one-half is a trifle wider than its mate. If the part in the heir is placed on the larger side, the bulk of the hair will naturally fall on the small side, making it iook still smaller, while the large side looks larger becayse the hair on that side is scantier. The T'ght piace to part the hair in this this makes the sides of the face seem alike. A rather unusual coiffiure problem hat arises now and then is that of the woman whose nose is not straight but inclines to side. Suppose the slant is to the right. An experienced hair- dresser will not put in a straight cen- | ter vart. as it would make the nose em more out of alignment by con- rast. He would also avoid a side part running from the right in toward the nter, which would form an angle with Jine of the nose. The correct choice culd be a part a little off center. To find this becoming line, hold a ruler along the nose, following its natural s'ant. which, in the case we have taken as an example, inclines to the right of the center at the end of the nose, Trace this line up over the forehead to | the hair (B) and make the part in the hair continuous with this line. Such a placing of the part makes the crooked- ness of the ncse less noticeable. The LEEDS. hair should be waved with a dip in the cester of the forehead. The pug or retrcusse nose also pre- sents a problem to the hairdresser. Often the face is round, so that a side part (on the small side) is becoming. A The waves should be arranged on the forehead and ringlets brought forward on the checks. The snub-nosed girl should aveid sleek coiffures and straight bobs unless she is in her early teens. Casserole of Liver. Have two pounds of liver cut in inch- thick slices. Cook in two or three table- spoonfuls of bacon fat on a hot pan until scared on the outside, then cut into inch cubes. Add to the pan four tablespoonfu's of flour and stir to & paste in the fat. Add one cupful of | sifted tomato, one cupful of meat stock, and stir until the mixture bolls. Put the liver cubes in a casserole with half a cupful each of sliced young carrots, cubes of white turnips, half-inch pteces of celery stalk, and six small potatoes. Pour over the whole the liquid from the pan, seasoned with salt and pepper to taste, cover. and bake in a medium oven for an hour and a hilf, being careful not to burn on the bottom.
