THE LITTLE CORNER MOTIFS COMBINE WELL WITH THE OLD ENGLISH LETTERS, Going-away gifts are among the most delighttul to receive. They indicate a thoughtfulness on the part of friends that rejoices the heart of those who are leaving for long journeys, continental tours or prolonged sojourns. The kind of gift selected should be governed by several things. It must not be a bur- den, either because of its weight or its size. It should be useful on the trip, or an aid to enjoyment. It should be as nice as the purse can afford or unique. Since it is apt to be &mall, it can be exquisite without being costly—unless it is of precious metal, The simple remembrance gift is far | more usual than the pretentious one. | It is the thought above all else that is prized. For those who would make going- | away gifts, in preference to buying them, a few suggestions are offered to- day. A case with pockets is what | every ocean voyager or traveler in a sleeping car needs. It should have pockets all of which open from the | same end. Loops, rings or some means | of hanging up the case should be at this end, so that when the case is hung up at the head of the berth there wlll no danger of articles falling out. E\ery traveler knows the usefulness of | such a toilet case. | Little flat sachet cases that can be slipped into the folds of lingerie or in | with handkerchiefs are welcome. A | handkerchief case or glove case makes a dainty gift. A flat pocket-case for , folding paper cups is unique. Fill it with one or two dozen of these collaps- ible cups. Make the case like an en- velope. Bind the edges of the linen case and embroider the owner's initials on_the case.

Fear re- tards many a child. Afrald to show his ignorance, afraid to ask for help, the child loses the point of the lesson, loses his hold on the subject, drops be- hind the class and fails. Confidence in the teacher will prevent that. The re- lationship between the failing child and his teachers is one of the utmost im- portance. When a child seems to be careless, willfully neglectful, impudent, look him ‘over thoughtfully, nally. to see him as he is, a itened, helpless child with his back to the fighting for his life. Then, in all fection and mercy, help him. You may have to take him by the back of hl.\\ mental neck, still in kindness and un- derstanding, to accomplish the task, but, according to your faith and your courage, success will meet you.

He likes the Senate—wants to stay there. “In the first place,” he explains, “I went into the cabinet for two years and stayed nine. That's long enough. “Then, too, I wanted vindication of m“hbor policies by an election in the r State of Pennsylvania, “And, besides, the Senate is one of the nobiest things a man can aspire to.” 8o much for that angle of Davis’ shift fram the cabinet to the Senate. However, there's another reason per- haps just as revealing. “It was the state dinners,” he con- fides. “They’re too often and too good. T've got & puddler's appetite. And after one of those state dinners, I would have to go all day without eating to keep from getting as big s my desk.” But he admits the lessons he learned on the executive side of the administra- tion are coming in handy in the legisla- tive field. As Labor Secretary he dealt with personal problems—the separatign of families through immigration acts, working conditions of women, working hours of children, the psychological twists of strike mediation, the tragedies of unemployment. And he has discov- ered that the work of the legislator is closely woven with the same sort of definite humln problems. e ‘The feast of the Three Kings (Epiphany) is celebrated in the Greek Orthodox Church by tossing & cross and a live dove on the water, to bless the water.

Commencement Days. ‘The students who are" graduating from college today will look back in years to come to a few really educated men on the faculty during their under- graduate days. Most great artists at some time worked around the studio of some great artist. Most great musicians at some time took lessons from some great musician. Most great scientists worked at least a while in the laboratories of some great scientist. Most of the suc- cessful business men of this generation were attached for a while to some suc- cessful business house of the last gen- eration. The successful politicians of today learned their lessons from the ward bosses of yesterday. Such is the story I glean from the lives of half a hundred persons im- portant enough to have biographies. I find one and only one recurring fact —great teachers make successful pupils. Of ccurse, there have been lltenlly thousands of puplls who have failed in spite of great teachers. The future will record an increasing number of failures for two reasons. Great teach- ers are becoming relatively fewer. Poor a\;p}l material is ing more plen- ful. cational candle at both ends. I find two other interesting com- mencement facts: Great teachers do not know they are teaching. They have no set method. They seem to work at the trade because they like it. They are always looking for varia- tion instead of standardization. the successful pupils seem to }parn by imitation. They seem to acquire the habit of looking for variation from the average, of doing something out of the ordinary. One day they show up with | some unusual accomplishment. are candidates for a biography. Currant Mint Sauce. Dissolve one tablespoonful of sugar in half a cupful of vinegar.
