Some of the sallors are simply banded with the regulation sort of hat band ribbgn, laid in the conventional bow at the %ide Others have ths band plus some sort of trimming that makes them more feminine. A small feather may be stuck through the crown above the band at the left side or a metal orna- ment may be used on the bend as shown in one of today's sketches. A tingle white sailor may be used for several different Summer costumes if you have several different colored bands. You may have the bows made at the ribbon counter where you buy the band- ing ribbon, You can then place two | small snappers on the ribbon beneath the bow with corresponding pieces on | the cnd of th2 band so that changing the aspect of your hat will be a simple Possibly you will want a white | salor with a rod band to go with a white dress with a red patent leather belt. Your black sailor may have an all-white band and a olack band, and you may also have a bit of black and white dotted silk arranged scarf fashion in place of a band when you want a more striking effect My Neighbor Says: A teaspoon of vinegar added to the ml‘ in which fish is boiled will help make it firm and white.

The first cubject 5 Teading. The second one numbers. The question rises as to how the tzach- ing is to be done? If it is well done it helps the child tremendously. il done, it hinders him in greater proportion. It is best to begin with reading and let the number lessons wait. If a child wants te count help him to do so, but tables can wait a while. At least until reading is well on its way to accom- plishment. Now about re: We do not teach children their letters any more. Not as the first step. They will Jearn the let- ters, but afterward. Not in the be- ginning. We start with a story. We tell the story. We tell it exactly as it is in the book. Word for word. Then we read that story and let the child look on while we read it. After that we begin the process of teaching reading. Not a very complicated process, but a careful one, if we would make a good reader of the new pupil. The first thing to do when a child is to be taught at home is to get in touch with the school to which he is to go later on in his career. If you teach a child one method of reading, and the school another, the child falls between the two stools. If you use one set of readers and the school another, the child is at a loss again. So get in touch with tha teacher who teaches the beginners to read. Get the book che uses, Gci the manual she follows. Get her interest in your pupil. Get her to Jet you watch her teach the class to read. ‘Then get her to come in once | in a while and listen to your pupil | vead. Her advice and co-operation are | precious to the progress of the child. It is hard on a child who has been | brought up on the Little Red Hen to | be faced with a reader whose hero is the Goat My Father Bought. Either “Goat" or “Hen" will do. Which one does the school to which the child will go, use? Use it and save the child time and | discouragement. - If the child is under 6 years of age, and he can enter school at the age of 6, why teach him to read at home? Much better to leave the reading for the teacher. The child learns to read much easier after he is 6, than before. He learns eatier in school than at home. Tt is not wise to try to get ahead of the school. The child who knows the reading lessons, yet must sit in class while they are being taught, | is at a great disadvantage. He finds nothing to interest him. He gets into | poor habits. | During the first five years he learns | to name things. To talk. To tell his name, address, and telephone call: His father's name. To recognize seven | primary colors. To ride his wheel, or tend her doll. To recite nursery rhymes. To have good manners. To practice WASHINGTON, D. iDorOth_yDix{ WHEN the cheerful workers of soclety start out to do their fellow creatures. their chief weapon is flattery. They hold that the com- pliment, is the skeleton key that unlocks every heart and opens every ketbook. Bui, while this theory i3 good, the execution of it is often so ungling that it fails of its object. For the art of the jollier 1s one of the most difficult arts in the world and requires a master hand. A TOUCH too little—and it injures its objects with faint praise. A touch too heavy—and it nauseates with its fulsomeness. The merest care- lessness of technique—and it awakens suspicion. The slightest error in judgment—and it offends where it was meant to please. STAR, Gives Key to Door of Good Will How to Flatter Successfully In a word, successful flattery must be that perfection of art that hides all art, and a compliment must be so cleverly disguised that the recipient does not recognize it as a jolly, but accepts it as a simple and deserved tribute to his merits. No'r appreciating this, flatterers may make their great mistake, Know- ing that all of us love praise and that every mother's son and daughter of us is amenable to the soothing influence of having our fur stroked the right way, they think that our cppetite for soft talk is insatiable and that we can be stuffed with fulsome compliments ad lib. As between the sexes, women are more adept flatterers than men. becauce they have had more experience. From time jmmemorial woman & well-being has depended upon the skill with which she could jolly some man along. Thus has she become ambidextrous in handing out flattery. NY Dumb Dora can hit the mark with & compliment every time and tell in two minutes after she meets & man just where the vulnerable spot in his vanity is. A good illustration of the insidious and subtle flattery to Which women treat men may be cbserved in the general attitude of the feminine sex, which adopts the position of incense burner toward men in general. ‘Also, if you will notice, in any company every woman wears an alert, interested, I-am-having-the-time-of-my-life expressicn, no matter how dull and stupid is the man to whom she is talking. NOW. generally speaking, there are four mistakes that the jollier makes. The first is in fumbling his approach. Out of a clear £ky he hurls the obvious compliment at you, and the individual who pays an obvious com- pliment is either a fool or takes you to be one. The next misteke that the unskilled flatterer makes Is not using suf- cient discretion in paying his complim OCCASIONALL‘I you meet & person whose vanity is so colossal that it i impossible to go astray in mixed compliments, and every one of them will hit the bull's eye every time. ' But most of us are only vain in spots. We have a dim suspteion that we are a little shy on some good qualities, and so when we are praised for Jirtues that we do not pofsess the compliment, fails because our intelligence gives the lie to it. Therein is where the indiscreet flatterer errs. He com- pliments us for the wrong thing. TH’E third place where the individual who starts out to soft-s0ap his way through life fajls is in being tco universally flattering. Women are particularly prore to this mistake. 1t 4s only the inexperienced flatterer who compliments self-evident, merit. He has his reward, to be sure, but it is nothing compared to that of the discriminating jollier who seeks out the hidden quality that we feel & cold and unappreciative world has overlooked and compliments us on that. that goes to our heads is the ¥ judgment inclines your heart yeu for advice. No tribute to THE subtlest form of flattery and the c- implied ccmpliment. No praise of v to an individual like having him come to your beauty or sonnet to your eyebrows is so flattering as finding that some one has bought a real silver frame for your photograph. Only women and diplomats are deft enough to do this, to insinuate admiration too great to be uttered. And they are the past masters of flattery. “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity,” saith the preacher. It can get us all,'one way or another. DOROTHY DIX. MAY 8. '1931. FEATURES.
