L New Collar BY MARY allover lace that I make a collar for a is not quite half a 80 I could not cut it to form a bertha, but thought it ca) ollar or Pg“oge ‘What mig! used some other way. would you suggest?” This letter from one\of our regular | readers gives us just the excuse to show a sketch of a new collar that is really most attractive. It is made from 11 sep- arate piekes of lace or other light-weight cotton or silk material gathered at one end and sewed into a collar band. You can make these pieces 4 inches deep, more or less, according to the amount of material you have to use. The sim- plest way to have them finished at the edges is to mark off the material in the pieces desired with basting threads or with & light-colored pastel pencil and My Neighbor Say: In cooking potatoes it is a sav- ing of time and labor to cook enough for two meals.

You may mound them on & band of 1ace or silk or on a narrow ribbon. Tt you have a few yards of lace edg- ing in your piece box, you may use it to make an interesting collar of this sort. Use small oblong pleces of net or organdie with the lace sewed to the sides and one end of each. The lace should be applied flat and mitered at the corners, the size of the center pieces de- pending, of course, on the width of the lace. Real valenciennes or a fine imi- tation may be combined very effectively in this way. OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRL “And what's your name, my little man?” Gordon Livingstone McTavish made himself as small as he could and did his | best to get behind his mother, who | promptly deserted him with a poke and |a shove and a smiling, “Now, speak up and tell the lady your name. Speak up like a man.” ! The shrinking little man edged into | the shadow of a big chair. Mother | pulled the chair away and left him ex- posed to the glare of the fluttering | smile of the little old lady who was | doing her best to put him at his ease. | He fled to the doorpost and did his best | | to merge his slimness with its somewhat slimmer shadow. ! ““won't you tell me your name, son? | T have a sweetie for a wee boy who | knows his name.” i | A choked rumbling sounded within Gordon. Livingstone McTavish’s throat. | A dull misery possessed him and he | longed for the protection of his bunk | under the back porch. If only he had seen this nice little old lady before she had seen him. Too late he had seen her | enter the living room and now he must | swallow his distress and wait for re- lease, or the worst. It was the worst. “Gordon _Livingstone McTavish, go stand in the corner over there until |you can find your tongue. I'm weary | of fighting with you to own your name. | It’s nothing to be ashamed of that I| can see. It's your own bad breeding | that you ought to be ashamed of.” | “Oh, let him go. He's a bit shy. Never mind him,” pleaded the little old lady, now more troubled about the plight of the little man. “There he stays till he finds his| tongue. I can't get him to tell his| name. How is he to get along if he can't speak his own name?” | True enough. He must learn to sg:ak his name, but don’t you know | that telling one’s name to the public is one of the hardest things that some of us can be called upon to do? Many | a child would rather take a beating than stand up in a roomful of ple and tell his name. Why? I don’t know. | Somehow it seems like undressing in public. Like being exposed in a public | place, Like having your secrets pub- | lished. When a person feels like that, | and many do, the tactful thing to do | is to learn their names, address them by name (that always delights them), and so avoid this distressing ordeal. I am sure that this secret unwilling- ness to shout (it always seems like shouting, though it is but the faintest whisper) one’s name to a listening world is at the root of the visiting card custom. It is so much easier to hand a card to the butler, to the office say, to the guard at the august door, than it is to say with boldness, “My name is Gordon Livingstone McTavish.” (Copyrisht, 1931.) a's FIXED FLa N\VERSARY Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. A mother has few hours in the day to call her own. Yet some mothers deprive themselves of these precious ones, which might be devoted to their own interest, because they cannot say, “no”, to the child’s unreasonable de- ‘mands. Of all the expenditures of valuable time, that of lying down with a child while he goes to sleep is the most use- less. This unnecessary attention re- sults as badly for the child as for the weakspined slave who acquiesces. From his earliest infancy we are intent on convincing the child that sleep is & desirable, enjoyable state into whose embrace he goes willingly. We are intent on showing him that there is no more cause for him to fear the enfolding dark than the com- forting light. Yet we negate all these assertions by agreeing to sit near or lie down with the child while he goes to sléep, thus admitting that there is cause for fear and that going to sleep is a lonely, perhaps terrifying exper- fence. How inconsistent! A mother wrote to me recently: “My 4-year-old boy will not go to sleep un- less I lie down with him. How can I break him of this?” There is just one way. Stop doing it. If he is sleepy the boy cannot possibly keep himself from going to sleep and his threats are therefore, laughable, Undoubtedly this mother has tried to bribe the child to go to bed alone. “Be a good boy and se¢ what mother will give you in the morning!” = This cannot be effective 60 long as the chlid refers an immediate reward which e can enjoy at the moment to one for which he will have to wait until tomorrow. The very fact that his mother offers him a reward, for doing what he should be expected to do be- cause it is & pleasure to himself, in- dicates her weakness. He must understand that this s his bed time, not his mother’s. The mother should take him to bed, give him the necessary attention, and then go downstairs without further com- ment. ‘Too much talk, too much effort to reason with the child are allke in- effective because they weaken the mother’s case. It should be plain that going to bed without company is the natural thing to do. e JOLLY POLLY A Lesson in English. BY JOSEPH J. FRISCH.

Household Methods BY BETSY CALLISTER. “I am planning to give a salmagundi party. » What games are usually p"n‘ie.d to make it most enjoyable and what would you suggest playing for those who might not know many games? Many of my friends do not understand cards, so bridge parties are out of the question with them. So please suggest other ways of entertainment where real fun can be had for folks around 40 {Lec-n of age.” This is a reader's ques- n. Any simple table games designed for young people are suitable for a salma- gundi party, and most of them require no previous knowledge of the games. In fact, the players usually have more fun if the game is one that they have not layed before, or not since their child- 0od. Such games as jack straws, tid- dledy-winks, fish pond, anagrams, old maid, authors, lotto and dominoes are lpproghte, and you can usually bor- Tow e cards or other implements necessary for these games from friends who have children, if you do not hap- pen to have them yourself. Older peo- ple can have lots of fun playing ping- pong, jack stones, or even marbles, and nowadays many people who understand bridge and other card games are find- ing it amusing to play games of this sort. You can have a jolly party play- ing charades, dumb crambo, 20 ques- tions and various forfelt games of the sort you plryed when you were quite young. “What shall T use when washing ecru curtains?

For variety, at different times use cin- namon, nutmeg or & small portion of finely chopped crystallized ginger in- stead of the lemon rind.
