If you have a dark blue dress you may make these tles of plaid or fig- ured silk showing dark blue, red or other bright colors. If you have a dress of figured material your ties should be of solid-toned material. If | you like you make them of light beige or eeru material, making a piping of the material to tack into the dress at_the neckline and cuffs. This, as well as the ties, may be taken out and washed and gquickly put back in place again, Usually the best way to make the slits in the dress is by cutting the material in the desired position and then bindi) off the material around the slit with a narrow piece of bias material to form a flat tailored but- tonhole. Vegetable Hash. ‘Hash may be made with one or many vegetables and with or without the ad- dition of meat or fish. Potato is the most useful vegetable for hash because it combines well with meat or other vegetables. The vegetables must be chopped fine, well seasoned with salt and pepper and with parsley, onion, chives or green pepper if desired, and moistened with stock, milk or water, using a,quarter of a cupful to a pint of hash. Relt half a tablespoonful of but- ter or savory drippings in a pan. Put in the hash, spreading it evenly and dropping smallpieces of butter or drip- pings over the top. Cover the pan.

Much wa; made of the President’s let- ter at the time. However, althcugh he was victorious in the primary, Reece was nosed’ out in the general - elect A tions like 2,000 votes. wse those who would have voted for him were snowbound on election day and couldn't get to the pclis. But despite the fact that he has been serving in Congress in the capacity of what is generally described as a “lame duck,” he by no means ceased to fight for his views on this question. As one observer described it: BRADY, M. D. shoes on. Even to & Ehyslchn it is extraordinary to see such a child lying naked on his cot on a porch on a colq Winter day, yet feeling comfortably warm; even the child’s skin feels warm to the touch of the doctor's hand. And the child is warm. ‘There is more than idle humor in the story about the Indian who tried to satisfy the curiosity of the white man who wondered how the savage man- aged to keep warm in his half naked- ness.

And, there are those who _ believe it was e of this—more specifically because he fought the Norris bill—that he found such rough sledding when election time roll- ed_around. But defeat hasn't daunted him. The other day he arose on the floor of the House and gave a postmortem of what happened in Tennessee. “My position was vindicated at the polis,” he shouted. “Let any man‘enter a Republican primary in that district today’ advocating a Federal-operation theory, and \helll be defeated by at least 3 to 1.” & He described the Norris plan gs a “far-reaching_experiment,” and proud- ly declared that he could mot stultify himself by agreeing to such a propo- sition even if it meant retaining a seat in Congress. “His presence scarce is heeded, He dodges storm and strife—" Thus doss one of the Capital's best | known rhymesters describe the lot of the man who failed to keep his seat in Congress.

You have probably done your associate with other children and keep them away from other children are guilty of a great scifishness because they are depriving their young- sters of the companionship that they would enjoy and which would be sfimu- lating to them. Surely you are not silly enough to imagine that you can really chum with your little girl. Why, the t! hing is impossible! A generation separates you.

Children discipline each other. and how to give and take. They teach each other sportsmanship ‘They. rub off the angles to each other’s characters. Johnny learns how to play fairly and take a beating without whining, because the other boys won't play with him if he dodsn't. because the other children ridicule her. Mary quits being a crybaoy, Sally learns that she can't boss the school as she does the home, because she is left out of things. . And so the fauits and idiosyncrasies that mother overlooks are corrected by the children’s play- mates. On the ability to get along with one's fellow creatures and to make friends depends the success in business and the happiness in marriage and life generally of every man and woman, and if the schools gave no other education than this they would be worth while. When you find a ' man and woman who are peculiar, | who are unadaptable and who have no ability to be “mixers,” as the phrase goes, you will almost invariably find that they are the children of doting mothers who kept them segregated from other young Your excuse for keeping that she may do as they do. ‘ell, how going, to keep her unspotted from a world in which she has to live? ime she has to always hold her by the hand.

It is just that things are different, not that they are worse. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1931.) BEDTIME STORIE Gives Himself Away.

A good food, one which later will not disturb the bahy, may give a violent reaction if fed in large quan- tities. When I say “large quantities,” I mean tablespoonfuls as contrasted with teaspoonfuls. In starting egg yolk one proceeds even more cautiously. The white of egg, being pure protein, usually causes more distress than the egg yolk, but both of them are capable of causing rash, fever and vomiting if fed in un- wise amounts to a baby who has some sensitivity to this particular food. The egg yolk is the more valuable portion of the egg for a young child because it contains vitamins A, B and D, and in addition has a rich supply of minerals. Hess advises that only a few drops of the egg yolk be given to a baby at first to wote his reaction. If there is no reaction then give one teaspoonful of the yolk, raw, added to the whole milk formula or to one bottle. In the case of the nursing baby the few drops of egg yolk may be given mixed in wa- ter and by spoon or it may be added to an ounce of water and given by bot- tle. Later when baby shows that he is not upset by his new food the egg may be coddled apd one teaspoonful of the yolk, then two and so on until baby can have the whole yolk of a coddled egg once daily, or the raw yolk can be stirred into the formula after this has been boiled and cooled. Having learned from experience that “coddling” is a word which means nothing to young mothers, here is the process: Drop a fresh egg in the shell into a small, deep vessel of briskly boiling water. Remove pan from fire, cover and let stand from five to six rilgnutes, according to the size of the el ‘This jellies the egg. Separate white and yolk carefully and feed only the yolk to a child under 1 year of age. After that, the white may be added a little at a time if the child shows no reaction to it. One coddled egg three times a week is excellent in the diet of a child over 1 year of age. If the baby shows the sort of reac- tion described above when given his initial few drops or te: nful of egg, stop feeding him the edg and do mot start aga‘n for at least a week. Then try a*few drops again in the milk for- mula. Keep up the small quantity for several days, then increase it. If the is*mixed with the whole formula the constant feeding of this small por- tion should result in the child’s devel- op:ng an immunity to it, so that larger portions will be taken without notice- able reaction. ‘While no food can really be a poison, it is true that of all foods eggs do make some children’ who have a sensitivity to them, violently ill. Oneé must use good judgment in deciding whether egg nitely, or whether it is worth while to try building up an immunity to it by constant, minimal doses. “It seems to me,” says Bunny, “now that you and, I are here, You should make every effort not to show a sign of fear. For then you may disprove an adage everybody knows— ‘No man’s a hero to his valet,’ is the way it goes.” AR — T— 1 The present vogue for pewter plays well into the hands of the homemaker of average means.

In California the mimosa sends it sensuous perfume in waves through the air.

JESSE W. SPROWLS. Intelligence. About 30 years ago psychologists began to investigate the common sus- piciens about animal intelligence. They were interested in finding out whether or not animals really possessed intelli- gence. Results were positive. From there they went on to_the problem of kinds and amounts. ° Results were il- luminating. ‘Then the psychologists turned their psycholcgical microscopes on human bei . Results were illuminating even if they were somewhat disconcerting. Today intelligence tests, of which there are many sorts, occupy the cen- tral position among psychological theories and controversies. But the outstanding fact is that no one knows yet just what the first principles of in- telligence is. I list three abilities which seem to make first-class candidates for a cen- tral position among the signs of in- telligence; 1. The ability to make choices. Even the amoeba seems to possess this abil- ity, at least to. some extent. It can distinguish between pleasure and pain. That's why it is able to live. 2. The ability to profit by past ex- perience. This means doing something easier because it already has been per- formed. The amoeba has some of this ability. But not much. Human beings differ enormously in this respect. 3. The ability to eliminate errors, which really means foresight. Fore- sigt;t ccmes rather high on the animal scale. show unmistakable signs of possessin this ability. . . ‘o (Copyfight, 1931) Pewter, Ancient and.Modern BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER, MODERN PEWTER IS FOR EVERYDAY HOME USE. its manufacture other alloys were used as well, such as copper and brass and antimony, of which mention has been made, This latter is a hard, silver- white metal.

Fortunately, too, milady no longer tries to squeeze her feet into shoes' which are too small.
