Since it . | brings to mh':‘d the quaint phrase, “a bed of roses,” signifying an easy and happy life, the quilt is lovely for an all- year-around bed covering. The section pleces fit together very easily. There are no curves, and angles are wide. Now is the time to start the quilt if you wish to fashion it slowly and make the strips in Summertime leisure. The work is dainty, light to handle and interesting. (Copyright. 1931 would amuse any sick person. They are made shallow enough, though, to sit on a window sill.

BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Nazmcy found the early Summer days rather trying. She had to make an ef- fort to do many things, and since the effort did not seem worth while she frequently let things slip. That was | the only way she could account for an annoying pabit which she found Joan | had acqu.red. At the table, on the porch, in the garden, no matter where the family might be and no matter what they were talking about—Joan would break in with some story she had to tell, some event she simply must talk about. Nancy discovered that Joan was con- stantly interrupting the conversation of | the group. Part o‘l‘ the fault was due to her own young son. He broke into any conver- sation. Joan felt she could talk him down and so she just talked a little louder, longer and faster than her young cousin. But there was more to it than that. Nancy found that she and Peter often interrupted Joan with never an ex- cuse. They all talked the matter over with Joan and Peter. Of course, they respect the conversation of the other, that there were times when grown-up conversation must be earried on regard- less and that those times they would ask Joan to be guiet until the But at other times she was to have 1nf and if she saw to it that other speakers had a chance.

ON D street in the northeast section of Washington—somewhat off the more familiar parts of the Capital— will be found a Government agency known as the Coast and Geodetic Sur- vey. The tip that James McNeill Whistler, acclaimed . by some as the greatest of Ameri- can artists, once worked there as a draftsman at some- thing like $1.50 a Whistler’s paint- ings are much in evidence around Washington and elsewhere. His name is known in all of the world. We were anxious to learn some- thing of the days when he was just a Government employe, It was not icult, Whistler's name is almost a by-word around the place. ‘There is one man—Capt. E. H. Pagen- hart, chief of the Division of Charts— who takes great pride in Whistler's as- sociation with the survey. He seems to know all the legends that have been mded down through the years about ‘Whistler came to Washington after poor marks at West Point had forced him out. He worked a ycar and then went to Europe. He was seldom on time for work and this caused his superiors no little con- cern. On his drawings of a strictly sclen- itific nature he was fond of inserting detalls of his own. In one instance, while érawing 8 map of an island in California, he put in a flock of gulls. The gulls were later deleted by official ction. ‘Whistler also had a habit of sketch- ing whatever came to his mind. Often these sketches would turn up in odd places. They would be found engraved on the margin of copper plates, on the walls of the building and in all sorts of places. The bare white walls leading to the superintendent's office had a spe- clal appeal for him. Caricatures of the officials of the sur- vey often would turn up in such places. ‘Whistler's disregard for bureaucratic restrictions finally led to the termina- tion of his connections with the survey. He himself said later: “It was not that I errived too late in the1 morning, but the office opened too early.” Nevertheless his genius was appre- clated. Within a few months after his artival, his name appeared as the de- signer of a sketch—a distinction never achieved by any other employe in such & short time. In the Freer Art Gallery now there is a plate known as “The Heads” contain- 'ing sketches on the edges of a survey subject which is regarded as “about perfect.” Many believe that Whistler's early training in the Coast and Geodetic Sur- vey contributed to his success.

C, |DorothyDix| ONDAY, Thinks Family Should Be Democracy Who Should Rule the Home? Only Rule That Goes in Marriage Is the One of Freedom and Equality, A WOMAN asks: “Who should rule the home, the wife or the husband?" Neither. Both. A home should be s dem , not an sutocracy. ‘There should be no grinding tyrant on the ic throne imposing his or her will upon a trembling slave. The head of the house should betwi?sinnmnudwunnummwm;hmhm and a success! mi Of course, human nature Being what it is and all of us inclined to bossiness as the sparks are to fly upward, this much-to-be desired condition of affairs seldom prevails. On the contrary most homes from the altar to the grave or the divorce court are a dark and bloody battle- round in which a woman and a man, each of whom is determined fi, rule or ruin, are engaged in a never-ending fight for the dictatorship. ERHAPS it is because most men, and virtually all women, are denied the exercise of authority in the outside world that are so de- termined to be the he-or-sle-who-must-be-obeyed in the family circle. Certainly it is observable that the smaller the man and the humbler the station he fills abroad, the more insistent he is on being the grand potentate at home,” and more insignificant and overlooked a woman is in society. the more ruthlessly does she force her will upon her husbapd. All of us have seen the curlous spectacle of men who were intel- lectual giants, or men who themselves commanded thousands of other men, but were so completely bulldczed by ignorant and stupid little wives that they did not dare to call their souls their own at home. And we have seen big, fine, strong, intelligent women who lived in quaking terror of petty tyrant husbands who didn't permit even a chair to be moved without their say-so, and who made their wives ask them if they could go to a picture show or down shopping. Tlfls unfortunate struggle for supremacy in the home would be bad enough and provocative of enough quarrels and bad feeling if the best man won out, but, alas, this never happens. It is invariably the one who is least fitted to rule the family who finally succeeds in domi- nating it, for the nobler, the wiser, the more tolerant & man or woman is, the less is he or she fitted to cope with a mean, persistent self-seeker. If you will consider the families you know in which there is a fine strong man and a weak, silly woman, you will recall that it is the weak, silly woman who rules the household with a rod of iron and who decides every question about the children from the way they shall be brought up to what schools they shall attend, what careers they shall follow, and ‘whom they shall marry. You virtually never see the , wise father dominating the fool woman, and giving the children the efit of his superior judgment and guidance. PWOBABLY no other thing does more to make marriage a failure and wreck homes than this unholy ambition of husbands and wives to be the domestic czar. For it has been written that a house divided against itself shall fall, and the minute a bridal couple sets out to find out which one is to rule it, the structure begins to totter on its foundations. The happy home and the successful one is that in which neither husband nor wife is an autocrat, but in which they are equal partners who consult together about everything, making mutual concessions and trying always to choose the better way. > It is only in these free homes that love lasts, and that husbands and wives, wortkl:ngdnmflthet‘;n uad su] plemenu:\g eu:hu othe'\:‘,l ruru lei;i children.

You will then be taking for granted what a few forward-looking year 2000 A.D. will point back to the decades between 1920 and 1940 and have a lot to say about the “rise of mental sanitation” or themes to that effect. In 2000 A.D,, the ordinarily informed citizen will know as much about mental health as the specialists do today. Long before that time, elementary books on psychology will have been introduced into the schools. Since this is a prophecy, we may as well go a little farther into details.

For a number of seasons now milady’s ears have been permitted to show un- der her coiffure, though it was not so long ago when feminine ears were ncver shown in public. Modern coiffures, judging from exhibitions at recent hair- dressers’ conventions, tend to show at least part of the ears, which makes the ‘;;lmme view of the head more interest- g. ‘There are only a few caces in which covering the whole ear is preferred. For instance, when the face is too wide and fat it is a mistake to show e: Also when the ears are set back too far or when they are not well formed they should be covered. o A pretty coiffure for a small, slender face may be dressed with the hair and waved from side to side. A short frln%e of flat curls is arranged in front f.the ears and on the temples. The ears themselves are completely revealed: The hair at the back is molded to the natural contour of the head, bel pinned in flat sculpture curls. Such a coiffure is becoming to the short, slen- der girl with fairly low forehead. For the tall girl with a rather promi- nent nose and a long neck another style of coiffure is preferable.
