WOMA Ribbon Sashes BY MARY One by one they return, all the devices and tricks of fashion that mother wore when she was young or that some cf us even wore ourselves. Accessory collars and _cuffs, frills, flounces, undersleeves, ruffied petticoats, long gloves, to mention a few of them. And now it's sashes, ribbon sashes tied in large bows with long ends. Several of the large department stores were prepared for this revival and are ready to supply the demand that has come for ribbon of sash width, of satin, watered taffeta or plain taffeta. Watered taffeta ribbon in ombre or shaded effect is especially attractive on the pastel-toned evening dress—the lightest tone matching the dress and the darker tone providing an attractive color accent.

And the ends, by the way, are cut into deep indenta- tions in the traditional manner of sashes. Sometimes the sash ties at one side, when it is formed into loops and some- what shorter ends, and sometimes there is merely a large sash bow at the back without any girdle portion. Sometimes there is a softly falling sash made of the material of the dress or of soft silk crepe of contrasting color. Such a sash may be drawn round the waist, snugly but not too tight, and tled into loops and very leng ends di- rectly in the front or a little to the left at the front. Household Methods BY BETSY CALLISTER. “Can _you tell me which is correct, and also What is the difference between that sort of material and outmgMflTnlc’li‘” Both Cantor: flannel and outing flan- nel are sorts of cotton fannel, that is, materials made of cotton with a flannel finish. Canton flannel which was first made in Canton, China, is heavier than outing flannel and is made with a cot- ton surface on one side and a twilled firm surface on th> other. nel is soft on both sides and does not wear so well but is useful for making night garments and underthings when a soft material is wanted that is at the same time light weight and warm. “I am going on a reducing diet and would like to know whether honey is less fatening than sugar. A friend has told me that honey was not fattening at all, but this hardly seems reasonable.” Your friend is wrong about the calorie contents of honey. One tablespoonful of honey contains 100 calories while one tablespoonful of granulated sugar con- tains about 60. One tablespoonful of powdered sugar contains 50 calories and the same amount of brown sugar 40. All of which means that honey is more fattening than any sort of sugar. “I am planning to paint some shelves and woodwork in our kitchen. It has never been painted before. How many coats of paint will be needd? what sort of paint should we use?” Consult a reliable paint dealer about the sort of paint to use which should, of course, be inside paint. You should be sure, to begin with, that the surface is perfectly clean and dry. Then use three coats. The first or primer coat usually contains a quart of raw linseed oil to each gallon of paint. The second coat, applicd after the first is perfectly dry, is usually thinned with a pint of turpentine to every gallon of paint and the third and last coat is usually applied as the paint comes from the can.

And the things that happen to them there! The pad in the pram ought to be plump and soft and cool. It should be shaken and aired daily. The pillows likewise. All soiled articles are to be removed from the pram immediately they are discovered. Nobody likes any- thing unpleasant in smell or feel about his bed. One of the best ways to teach 8 child cleanliness is by way of keeping | bis bed spotless, crib or pram. | The top of the pram is movable, so | that the light can be adjusted to the | comfort of the child. Full sunlight| shining in the face of the baby is bad for his eyes, bad for his rest. He can- not rest well, he does not get the right amount of restoring sleep, his bod: l"lg:tlfl the full it goes on d strong light full in his eyes. Tip the| 0p to adjust the light and let his eyes | be screened. ‘The pram has springs. These springs | Chang, are to ease the pram over the road. ‘They are not intended to be used to Jounce . the unfortunate baby up and down, as though under the power of a churn dasher, for hours on end. a baby is jounced seasick by a mistaken nurse who believes that there is some- thing healing and soothing in be! wu‘e: in a rocking, pitching vessel of wrath. ‘When a child sleeps he is to be left in quiet and peace, the light screened from his eyes, the bzdclothes light and warm, the air about him clean and in free circulation. A shady corner, of the porch, a place under a tree, some sheltered yet open nook, is ideal as a parking place for the pram. In pushing the pram along deal gently with it and its passenger. Cross- ing a curb calls for care. Ease the wheels over. Don't jump them down and bump them. The baby feels every bump and every joit. His ten- der body aches with the fatigue of resisting the roughness of the road and he cries pitifully. ‘Wheel him along gently, like a prince in his chariot. Guard his route with the care that is given his royal high- ness of state. If a baby does not de- serve that rank and care, nobody does. Never jiggle and joggle and jolt him about to soothe him to slumber. A time to time hang a new toy to the side of the pram. A gay balloon, as long as it lasts. A gay ball tethered by ‘a bright ribbon, to pull and throw. | lullaby ought to be softly persuasive. From e off to a furry bear, to a rubber doll, to an ivory teething ring.

They should be men of high standing, competent for their positions and thoroughly respon- sible. It is a point against a trust when it holds securities in too great amount in a company in which one of the trustees is heavily interested. It is a point against a trust when it in- vests too heavily in any one company or_industry in any case. Investment trusts do not all offer equal advantages, though they may operate on the same principles, The salection of desirable securities is still | a matter of individual skill and judg- ment.

She was torn between a desire to use the new wash- able wall papers, the stippled painted finish done in blended or Tiffany style and the plastic wall finishes. She learned that the washable wall paper had none of the appearance of the old-time fabricated textiles. So that was all to the good. The stippled wall finishes were easily washed also. That eased her mind on that score. Because rooms were reminiscent of Spanish architecture she finally chose the plastic wall type. She learned that these finishes were given a thit wash of sizing or butter- milk after they were put on the walls. Then when the walls became dirty the sizing or buttermilk was washed off, taking the dirt with it. When the walls were dry another protective coat was put on. And so it went over and over. The painter showed her how he ob- tained mixture was blended. First, the mix- ture was applied on a workable area with an ordinary wall brush. While still plastic, working tools such as whisk brooms, coarse fibre sponges, serving spoons, graining combs, crumpled rolls of tissue paper were utilized in a skill- ful manner to get the patterned effects. It required skill, knowledge and a dex- trous wrist to have the walls uniform and well-patterned. But once a painter gets to work it is amazing to see how rapidly the surface is patterned in swirls, vertical lines, block and queer ripples. Martha chose her colors and her painter and made a date for him early in the coming week. =y Veal Oysters. Cut out some small ovals the size of oysters from the lean part of veal chops or cutlets.

It seems to me that we do not sufficiently appreciate this fact, nor realize how important it is to provide ourselves with good company during the long journey through life. Surely more people cultivate a pleasant, amiable disposition, for there are few men and women who are more disagreeable to be brought in daily contact with than peevish, irritable ones who are always flying into rages, and who always have a feud on with some one. Why, then, should one choose as one's most intimate companion an individual whose nerves are always shaken to pleces by storms of anger, and whose very blood is poisoned with hate? Surely any sane person would prefer to live day after day and year after year with one who was sweet and gentle and philosophical, who got along with- | out friction with his fellow creatures and whose soul was filled with honey instead of gall. Surely, since we have to endure our own soclety for so long, it is worth while providing ourselves with an interesting companion. Some one who will never bore us because he his read and thought and observed and traveled and made his mind a storshouse of thrilling memories into which he has only to dip and bring out something interesting with which to entertain us. - DOROTHY DIX.

SPROWLS. Projection. Nowadays much talk and still more supposition is engendered by the term “projection.” It really should be called “Injection.” For when you project, at least in the popular meaning of the term, you are trying to satisfy some dis- appointment by making it appear to hnl;e some upon your sense of self. If, for example, you miss a train, you project by saying the train left you. Through the mechanism of projection every misforture is a persecution. Projection really has no use in nor- mal psychology. The term came in with Freud and his followers, who, it seems, recognize nothing but a topsy-turvy psychological world. Projection should be regarded as one of the many sorts of “flights from real- ity,” which the human mind never grows tired of inventing. As a flight, Pprojection sits in the same psychologi cal boat as day dreams, fancies, hallu- cinations and rationalization. ‘While projection actually belongs in | the realm of the abnormal, it does con- | tribute something to sanity. When you just can't find a logic that explains things it's a mark of self-satistaction, at least. to be able to sidestep personal | responsibility. | Projection serves the important func- | tion of saving our psychological faces and who became one of the women in America. different. For many years after that I had men and women working for me, and few of them ever left me volun- tarily. I wanted them to like me. And I think they did. Even so, I was often unreasonable, often highly nervous and hasty. ‘The trouble with me—and in a large degrec with many others—is that we women haven't been long enough. We don't know yet qu how to take the job, Because we are new to offices, we try to be so efficient that we overreach ourselves. Yesterday I told a story about two girls who went without supper in order to finish a rush job. The man who was with them took time to eat and bathe. Later in the evening they were too tired to be of use, and he did all their work as well as his own. This is a perfect illustration. Because women work when they are tired, because they are new on the job, they ruin their tempers. They work with frazzled nerves; they become un- reasonable, and that's hard on their subordinates. Once in a while a homely woman is jealous of all the pretty girls under her. She nags them and drives them. But that's comparatively rare. The sense of power makes up for lack of beauty. ‘Women are learning, and they are much easier to work with than they used to be. And most of the women executives I know keep the same secre« taries year after year. Best of all, women give other women a chance to get ahead. far better than men in that way.
