WOMAN'S PAGE. Crochet - Rugcraft and Patterns BY LYDIA LF BARON WALKER. A DELFT TILE ARRANGEMENT OF THE THREE MOTIFS IN RUGCRAFT. The interest in crochet rugcraft is| evidenced by the many Inquiries for further instructions in work, and also in the adaptation to this purpose of three designs—the Ship Good Fortune, the Fish and Seaweed and the Checker- Readers' special questions will Teceive first attention. A large rug-size crochet needle is used. Some manufacturers list this as size “J." others use numbers, and in scme cf these make: " is a rug size. Rug yarn and rags are generalily used. The name rags includes all textiles, new or old, that are cut into strands ap- proximately the size of rug yarn after the strands are folded or crushed for use. One-inch ordinary cotten cloth may be used as as a gauge, heavy tex- tiles being narrower, thin textiles wider. All strands must be approximately the | bord same size. Jute yarn is enother medium, Stockings are included under rugs. The following abbreviations are used: St. for stitch, sp. for spaee, bk. for block, or the filled-in por(luns making design; ch. for chain. irn is gen- enuy written at the end o{ n line or TOW.

The parent who is intent on future good conduct expects that it will be built up slowly, by mistakes and with accidents. Suc a parent will act very differently from the mother who demands immediate obedience and will not countenance be- havior which annoys her. ‘The wise parent understands that the learning process is an up-and-down one. memory and not expect that, having told him & thing once, she will never need to repeat the instruction. Perhaps no greater conflict rises in an{ home than for the mother to have this far-seeing attitude which does not expect perfection from the child and for the father to belittle her training because it does not immediately show results. Such is the case in Mrs. D, O. R.’s househcld: “My husband makes fun of me for reading books and erticles on child- training, becruse we have the most ter- rible 2-year-old imaginable. The exas- perating thing is that what she does is not really wrong: it is all connected with her desire to learn to live es we do. She climbs up to the lavatory and and shriveled and her clothes and the floor all wet. She will sprinkle half a can of scouring powder before I cani| reach her. She will gather a needle and thread and scissors and scut holes in her stockings so that she may darn them up. I explain and teach, but I am too busy to_spend all my time in- structing her. We have spanked her, but I can't honestly say it has helped. Is there a book on child care I could keep handy?” There are some things here which need only better management. Let her wa'h her hands and face each time it is necessary, and det her take her own bath, with supervision. Protect hgr with a rubber apron and let her wash her doll's clothes and dishes. At other times keep the bath room door locked and the scouring powder cut of reach. Give her needle and thread with which ta sew her doll clothes. Keep an eye on her when ghe is using blunt scissors. She cannof “gather” these ar- ticles unless they are within reach. Turn her into a helper when you are working. She can do a dozen things her actions from degenerating into pure mischief. ‘We have leaflets on “How to Manage the Child Wisely,” “Directing the Small ! Child’s Curiosity,” and also a leaflet listing the names of excellent books on child care, which you would find help- ful. Of course, none of these books can elways answer specific problems; | they cutline principles of child-training which, because they are big, far-reach- ing and worth working for, cannot pos- sibly be accomplished in a short span of time. All learners make mistakes and | have accidents, but these are not con- sidered misbehavior. Put harmful things out of reach until the child is more dependable, keep on teaching and trying to satisfy her impulses toward independence. You are on the right track. NANCY PAGE Mrs. Lacy Studies Camps Before Making Choice BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Keeping Body Youthful. Many women when they reach the ag: of 35 or‘more find that their mus-| 1 | cles lack suppleness and that fat be- gins to accumulate about the hips, waist and thighs. They usually blame the years for these things; but, in most cases, the hlame is unjustly placed. It is not the years which are responsible, but, rather, qne’s habits of living. Youth is active, but when one is above the age of 25 life is apt to be- come more sedentary whether one is a business or home woman. This results in heavy thighs, overwelgiit, flabby back and chest_muscles and even an outlook cn life which is not always cheerful. | It should be heartening to know that the body needs not b>come “middle aged” either in appearance or feeling if one is willing to pay the price of taking some general all-around exercise every day. The right sort of exercise All give milady the opportunity to .ugh at Old Father Time, for they keep the mind alert and the body sup- ple, graceful and youthful. How much exercise does the average woman need? This is a frequent query, and in answer I would say that spend- ing 10 minutes night and morning on exercises that bring every muscle of the body into play should be sufficient to keep the figure symmetrical and supple. Remember that the exercises must be varied enough so that no part of the body is neglected. It is a good idea to follow the exercise period with alternate hot and cold showers. A final rubdown with mas- sage or rubbing alcohol is h:althful efter the exercise and bath.

There are so many interest- ing things from which to choose that no one should have any difficulty in finding a cor outdoor _activity. Hiking, swimming, tennis, golf, horse- back riding, gardening—any of these will not only do wonders toward keep- ing the body beautiful, but they will add an interest and zest to life.
