You will find it quite diverting to experiment with this sim- | ple needlework motif to see how many | interesting effects you can obtain. ‘The sketch today shows a clever way to use a simple single featherstitch that we have copled from a little girl's | dress recently imported from France. | To copy this trimming, you will have to mark off circles at regular intervals as_even 8s elght solld circles in the center and groups of three circles at the four sides, as shown in the sketch. An attractive variation of this decora- tion might be made by marking a scroll | along the edge of the dress and doing the hemstitching along the scroll, with | groups of three embroidered dots at the curve of each scroll. Or you may finish the edge of t dress with a shallow scallop and then mark the line for featherstitching an inch or more up from the scallop. My Neighbor Says: Never starch linens that are to be stored away for a long time. They are apt to crack. Rinse free from starch, dry and fold away, if possible, in blue paper. ‘The blue paper prevents them turning yellow. If a cold pudding sauce is de- sired, it should be chilled and served when needed. It should not be allowed to stand in the hot kitchen, where it would soft- en and lose flavor. Caramel frosting blends with spice, white or yellow cakes. Put the youngsters to bed when cold symptoms develop in order to stop the disease as quickly as possible and not endanger the health of other children. (Copyright, 1931.) 88 household linens. There are several ways of doing the stitch. There is sin- gle stitch, as well as double stitch, varying according to the number of | upt strokes of the needle taken in | cach series. You may even take three or four to make a wider feather effect. BEDTIME STORIE long hind feet and he was dolng 1 to express his anger.

He never had heard just such a sound before but he was sure that it | was being made by one of these Rats. This angered him and he again began to dig furiously. He felt that that drumming was an insult, and no one should be allowed to insult him paying- for it. This time he had to stop sooner to rest, get his breath and blow the sand out of his nose. The instant be did so he heard the drumming again inside that mound. It suggested that the drummer was angry, and this was the case.

Whether we like it or not they press for attention. What shall we do with them? First we study the causes of delin- guency.

Coffee cannot supply anything but s warm, flavored drink, no more sugar Some benighted adult holds the baby or her lap at the table and offers him sips of coffee, amused by his apparent delight. It is just a step from that to the child's demand for coffee instead of his blander and less highly flavored milk. There is nothing harmful to the average adult in a moderate consump- tion of tea or coffee. They are de- lightful drinks, and those of us who in- dulge enjoy them enormously. Either is entirely out of place in the diet of children. Children need nourishment at each meal. It is literally impossible for a child to get sufficient nutritious food unless he eats properly at all three meal His breakfast is an impor- and must consist of nutritious quite as well as filling foods.

So many of my readers are eager to know how to improve a flat chest and | thin neck. The majority wish to know | of .some massage oil which will magi- | cally make these parts of the body | rounded and full. While it is true that gentle massage with proper creams helps toward making parts of the body of proper proportions, one must not expect too much. The massage stimu- lates the ciculation and this in turn brings nourishment to the muscles and thus makes them fuller and firmer. But in the attempt to develop any particu- lar part of the body it is essential that the Teal development come from within Virtually every one whose neck and chest are thin is also underweight, and the first thing to do is to try to build up the general heaith and incidentally the weight. If there is danger of some disease which may be causing the un- der-weight condition, the first step is for milady to see a physician who will be able to determine the cause. Very often, however, milady herself may realize why she is underweight Perhaps she fails to eat regularly and of the right kind of foods. Or she may not have sufficient sleep or ervous condition may cause her to use up her energy in tenseness, and such a state will keep one from getting the ex- pected benefits from foods. rinker Tecognizes this effect for he with conviction, “If I miss my 8 headache by 10 T'm simply not awake d | until T 'get my coffee.” There are children who grow fat and flabby largely on coffee and bread.

The apparent in- crease in weight blinds some parents to the fact that their children are undernourished.
