A simple dress of white linen or silk crape may be similiarly diversified Ly a number of collar and cuff sets. Today we suggest a three-plece set consisting of collar trimming, cuffs and belt made from figured silk. For the collar trim- ming you will need a strip about one vard and 12 inches in fength—the ex- act amount depending on the dspth of the opening of the dress at the front. The strip should be 3 or 4 inches wide. One end is fastencd beneath the clos- ing at the right side. It is then drawn back over the shoulder around the back and brought down a few inches on the left side, where the silk is tied into a | bow that hangs down as seen in the sketch. Ancther strip of the silk—a yard or more in length—is used for th belt, while two strips about 12 inches long are placed on the cuffs and tied | in_small bows or knota. To wear on a dress of linen or cotton, you may make thse trimmings from | fine gingham, which is especially smart in a two-color check. | (Copyright, 1931.) | | Ugly Eellow. | witn_strangers never be too free, | For sometimes danger there may | —Farmer Brown's bey ~ A Boy.

Farmer Brown's | Boy knew this at first g'ihce, but he | was wholly different from any of the | | other Lizards Farmer Brown's Boy had | seen. Most of these had slim bodies, | with long, slim tails and astonishing | | speed. The one exception as to shape | | was_Horny the Horned Lizard, com- | monly calied Horned Toad. But even Horny could run fast when he wanted to. This pink and black stranger was the biggest Lizard that Farmer Brown's | Boy ever had seen. He was almost two | feet long, and instead of being slim | and graceful he was big bodied, with a thick, short, rounded tall, a big blunt | head and short legs. He was moving | along slowly and he didn't lcok as if | he could move quickly if he tried.| Farmer Brown's Boy got off his horse and approached him for a better look | at him. He noticed at once that this fellow wore no coat of scales, as other Lizards do and as snakes do. Instead he was covered with little points like beads under the skin. They were all over him, including his head, tail and egs. “Well,” said Farmer Brown's Boy, “you are about as unpleasant looking a fellow as I have seen for a long time. | I hope your disposition is better than | your looks.” | The stranger took no notice of him, | but moved along slowly. Every now | and then his tongue was thrust out to| examine the ground, and it was forked | like the tongue of a Snake. His body | seemed too heavy for his legs, so that | be appeared to drag it along the sand. | Now, any other Lizard would have darted away at the approach of Farme: Brown's Boy, but this big, clumsy-look- | ing fellow merely moved a little faster, | faster than he looked as if he could move, but compared with the speed of his various cousins it was anything but [ wonder if that 1s the best you can | do,” said Farmer Brown's Boy. “I'll see if I can hurry you up a bit.” He found some small stones and be- gan tossing these at the big Lizard. Two or three hit him. Instead of try- ing to run faster he suddenly twisted | to one side as Farmer Brown's Boy | came near, and snapped at him with a quickness that made Farmer Brown's| Boy jump to get out of the way. the same time he hissed in a most un- pleasant manner that reminded Farmer Brown's Boy of Bluffer the Hog-nosed | Snake back home. When he opened his mouth it showed black inside, and | it also showed a set of teeth that looked decidedly dangerous. Again the big Lizard snapped, and again Farmer Brown's Boy jumped out of the way just in time. “My, you are | ugly,” he éxclaimed. “You' certainly BEDTIME STORIE SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y.

He was no coward, that was cer- tain, He showed no inciination to run away He wasn't afraid and he showed it. He hadn’t been looking for troub'e, but he was quite willing to hold his ground. Altogether he was & most ooking fellow, and Farmer Brown's Boy felt a sudden ‘and deep respect for his fighting ability. (Copyright, 1931.)

She and Leonard had decided on the chairs that could be taken down. But the problem of & sewing kit and a screen bothered her. She planned to screen off the laundry part of the basement when the family used the room for play and fun. But new screens are expensive. around in the attic she found an_old burlap paneled screen that she had | discarded because the panels were so | faded and the frame so scratched. By painting the frame the same color as the woodwork and the panels the lighter color of the walls she found the screen became a decoration as well as a serviceable piece of furniture. Upstairs she discovered a shoe box. It was the inexpensive type which has, ordinary shoe box. These are arranged above one another in a wooden frame- work. Why couldn't she get a cheap one of these—one covered with washable pre- | pared fabric. The top drawer would have the usual_ stocking compartment arrangement. In that would go her thread, needles and small oddments. The other drawers would hold her patches. Voila! There she was!

In hunting | DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Teach Children Manners and You Give Them Letter of Credit Which World Honors on Sight. DEAR MISS DIX—Can you give me some suggestions about how to teach my children courtesy and good manners? 8. R. Answer—Lucky children to have a mother who realizes the im- portance of teaching them good manners, for good manners are a letter of credit that the world honors at sight, and they will carry a man end woman farther than talent or industry or all of the cardinal virtues. Better to endow a child with good manners and courtesy than to prescnt it with a fortune. The boorish, the uncouth, ‘the brusque may have hearts of gold and clever brains, but we seldom find it qut because we avoid them as much as possible and turn to the suave and pleasant and agreeable, who win our liking at sight. SO, wise is the mother who teaches her childr:n what to do and how to do it, what tq say and how to say 1t and thus assures that her sons and daughters will be persona grata to their fellow creatures and have poise and what they call in business, “a good selling address,” instead of letting them grow up awkward and dumb and ill at ease in company. It is not too soon to begin teaching your children good manners in the cradle. Never let them form bad habits. Teach even a baby to say “thank you” and to show some appreciation of what other people do for it, and the benefits of this will accrue to the youngester through life, because we all like to give and bestow favors on those who show some enthusiasm over our kindness and thoughtfulness, and we do mighty little for those who take everything as no more than their due and give no sign of gratitude. NEXT, teach your children to take a gracious attitude toward people. Teach them to make the conventional little polite speeches about being glad to meet strangers or having had a good time or enjoying a ride or liking some present that has been made them. These speeches are the small change of courtesy that purchases liking out of all propor- ticn to their worth. Many boys and girls get good jobs or coveted invita- tions just because we remember them as polite little children, whereas we carry our prejudice against rude children over into their manhood and womanhoed. b ‘Teach your children to answer courteously when they are spoken to. especially when they are addressed by their elders. The rude, tongue- tied, smart-alecky children, who say something impertinent or don't answer at all when they are spoken to by older people, will go through life making enemies apd rousing ill, will and resentment that it will take actual genius to overcome. TEACH your children to respect other people's property. Don't let them wreck ‘and destroy things at home and they will not do it abroad. All of us hate, with a venemous hatred, the children who go through our houses like a cyclone leaving rack and ruin behind them, who tear up our fine books and draw pictures with pins on our old mahogany and spill ink on our expensive rugs. And we all sing the praises of the well-bred child who keeps its hands off our treasures nndu_\" ho moves about our cherished belongings with care not to injure anything. FEACH your children how to write nice little notes of thanks, of congratulation and of condolence, as the circumstances may require. This is*a small matter of consideration of one's friends and acquaintances, but it differentiates the lady and gentleman from the boor and is an attention for which people are absurdly grateful. ‘Teach your children the etiquette of the table. Many most estimable people gargle their soup and inhale their food, but nobody wants them around. To know your way among the forks and spoons is not an ac- complishment. It is a necessity in these days when so much business is transacted over the luncheon and dining table. | DOROTHY DIX.

And so Priscilla, with her firm little chin and decided manner, fitted into this program of self-assertion only too well. As Mrs. Gregg remarked more than once. “I grew up afraid of my | shadew. My daughter shall be trained to fear no one. She shall not be bound around with rules, and shall do pretty | much as she pleases.” Se the vears passed on until there were 12, and then there was a birthday party. Mrs. Gregg sent out 30 invita- tions, called up a caterer, bought favors, |a tissue paper pie and caps, and en- gaged Miss Strawn, who for $10 enter- | tained for a whole afternoon at games, | guessing contests and tricks. i The postman came up the path and Mrs. Gregg held out her hand. He gave her three letters—one was a club notice, | one the regular monthly epistle from | Auly Libby, the other an acceptance | from Mrs. Bester, whose boy was the thirteenth name on the list. | These mails!

Eighteen could not pouibly[ come. Mrs. Gregg called up Miss Strawn | and asked if she could call. Miss Strawn came and the situation was explained. Suddenly Mrs. Gregg exclaimed, “What is it? What is it all about? You are thinking something like all the rest. 1 feelit. I know it.” Miss Strawn demurred, but hék hostess insisted. | “Well, yousee, it is a little difficult to say.

Her common sense will help a lot now, but she would be so | much happler and you would, too, I think, Mrs. Gregg. if you don't mind ! my saying so. if she learned to respect social law and the rights of other people. i “Just now people look on her as a sort of naughity child. but soon public | opinion won't excuse her so easily, I'm afraid. We can't do as we please—gone of us can.” Children must be taught to live with other people. The world will not coun- tenance these who ride roughshod over the rights and feelings of their neigh- bors. Children should be taught this important thing carly.

ERHAPS the most ardent and ex- pert fisherman in Congress is gray- haired, solemn 70-year-old Will Wood of Indiana, an eight-termer in the House and chairman of the powerful Appro- priations Committee. Happily, a week end o~ so ago, Wood got out his fishing equipment and packed his hip boots. He had been in- vited by the President to be his guest at Rapidan, try his luck at trout fish- ing and _discuss means of bringing about economy in Government e X- penditures. Bright and early Wood was in the Rapidan. Thirteen trout struck his hook and _were pulled in. Four more wiggled off his hook and got away. Not far away the President fished. Twelve was the best he could do. Back in Wash- ington the following Monday the news leaked out that the chairman of the| House Appropriations Committee had | caught more fish than the President. | Newspaper men asked hirh about it. “Well,” said Wood, one of the strong- | est administration supporters in the | House, “I guess I fished longer than the | President.” Wood's enthusiasm for fishing and his pride in his ability along this linc | are generally known on the Hill. Many | | remember when he brought all the wa¥ | from Florida the head of a big fish he | had caught. | A shark, he said, took away the body of his catch after it was hooked, and his purpose in bringing the head along | was to prove that he really did catch it. | | Byrns of Tennessee, ranking Demo- crat on the Appropriations Committee and Wood's great and good friend, was the skeptic the Indianan probably had in mind. ~Byrns, although admitting his friend's prowess as a fisherman, de- lights in “kidding” him about it One of Byms' favorite stories con- cerns the time that Wood inadvertently | exceeded the limit while the two were wisiting in Yellowstone Park and the accompanying difficulties.
