Now there come$ a thinner tape of this type that is equally as adhesive and strong but much thinner. It is grayish in tone r: r than white like surgeon’s tape. It can be used to mend textiles.

Now and then we come across a child who makes no friends. That is sad ugh and instead of scolding about it ought to try to do something about it. Why does not this child make friends? I tried to discover why a boy, new to the school that term, was al looker. He stood by watchi body ever saw him playing. When the other boys broke off into little groups, heads together, voices raised in discor- dant unison, be sauntered off alone. “Oh, 1 don't care for them. They don't know how to play. They don’t even know how to hold & ball. I don't care for the boys in this neighborhood, anyway. They're not my sort.” TInvestigation disclosed that the boys in the old neighborhood had not been of | his sort. He had never had any friends. He would walk home with a boy occa- sionally, maybe join him for a few min- -utes in a catch game, but that ended it. He was very superior in attitude and quite helpless in reality. He couldn't play ball, he couldn't play anf games. He was afraid to try. We had a little girl who insisted upon staying in her seat at game time. *“No, thapk you,” she didn't want a drink. No, thank you, she didn’t care to play. | No, thank you, | where she was. ‘When the teacher told seats and move about in the gym or the playground, she cried. “Why, you see, she is such a nice child, =0 gentle and refined and lady like that she cannot stand the rude of the other children. She is al- like that. I would hate to have her rough and loud and pushing. She is not like those other children who have no refined feelings,” said her mother. The child who makes no friends is in trouble. All healthy children, and when I say healthy I mean healthy in mind as well as body and the mental health comes first in importance here. It is most unwise to encourage a child to re- main alocf, to assume a critical attitude toward his mates and tell himself that. they are not good enough for him to as- sociate with. Such an attitude is un- healthy and dangerous. ‘When a child shows such an_inelina- tion look well ipte its cause. Study to see where he is failing. Search for the cause of the failure. Do what you ean to help remedy it and set the stage for success, Do ru in your power to help adequate, to know suc- cess, to live hlfpfly ‘with his fellows. ‘When one withdraws from the strug- gle one confesses failure. When one turns his back on the group and says, “You are not worth my contribution, one eonfesses that he has no eontribu tion to make. The truth is that health; people, men, women and children, need, demand an audience for their best work. ‘We need encouragement, praise and ap- v]:Il’t‘;h!lfln in order to grow and to suc- | ceey ‘When a child turns from this he does 80 because he believes himself inade- | quate and doomed to failure.

C.\ THURSDAY, NANCY PAGE Afternoon Weddings With Buffet Refreshments. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. “There could never be anything as thrilling as one's own wedding,” said Elvine. There had been all the plans for the trousseau, the hope chest, the furnishing of the new home. Then came the plans for the day itself. The ceremony was to be pétformed at the O A church. Friends had been invited to the ceremony and the reception which vas to follow. There had been much discussion as to what should be served. Finally the fol- lowing menu had been decided upon: Lobster Salad Chicken and Mushrooms in Pates Olives Salted Nuts Individual Fancy Ice Creams Small Cakes Candied Rose Petals Mint Leaves Coffee Fruit Punch The service was buffet style—that is, the bemutifully covered table in the din- ing room held the platter of lobster salad, tHe chafing dish with the hot creamed chicken and mushrooms. There was a waiter ready to serve these and to pass the relishes. The. ices were in fancy shapes, roses, lilies and other flowers. A bride's cake was in the center of the table, while plal of small cakes iced in pastel les vied in beauty with the pale pink { candied rose petals and the soft green candied mint leaves. Honored friends poured the coffee and filled the punch glasses. Elvine had every reason to rejoice in her day of days. S Simple Convenience. A white tumbler holder fastened to the wall at the side of the refrigerator will be very convenient for holding & glass while ‘pouring liquid from a_ bot- tle or pitcher. In this way one hand is left free to open or close the re- Irigerator. Saving Up to Buy. ving up to buy” is & habit handed down from childhood. As children, | when we couldn't get what we wished, we were generally told to “save up for it.” Perhaps that experience taught thrift to some of us, self-denial for an end to others, but the experience was a mixed blessing. “Saving up to buy” has its economical disadvantages. It encourages savers to accumulate funds for a purpose which may not be at all practical. For ex- ample, a man who saves to buy a car, and then discovers he ean't afford to run it, has wasted money. In practice, that happens with many things, and the habit, instead of teaching thrift, teaches improvidence. When one needs something essential to life, and conserves one's earnings or income to acquire it, “saving up to buy” is serving a practical end. Before one begins, however, to store money for any purpose, examine the purpose for its economical advantages. If it is mnot have a large competence, In almost every home that one may enter some member or members of the family are saving up to buy. They may be saving to buy roller skates, canors, radio, fur coats, new raiment, in conditions.
