THE . EVENING Making Smart Wall Panels © BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. THE OVER-MANTEL PANEL MATCHES THE WINDOW HANGINGS. Since wall hangings are in such high favor, it is interesting to note how some of them are made so that the home decorator ean, herself, fashion various kinds.* One of yet;mb smartest of ;hese hangings emplo] )y one expert deco- rator of motifs cut from fig- ured textiles forming elements in the scheme of the room furnishings. Only those motifs can be used which age suffi- | clently large and perfect to be appliqued to a plain background of generous pro- portions and form a complete orna- ment of sufficient interest to lend deco- ration to the panel. This decorator not only uses rich and rare brocades wrought in many colors, | but also gay chintz, hand blocked linen and cretonne motifs. The first are ap- quuod onto backgrounds of satin or Bivet. The others are against plain textiles of their same kind, natural coi- ored linen, or other flat tonedslinens of brighter hues which accent the notes desired in a color scheme of a room. Or they are ed to entirely different, but eminently suitable, background tex- tiles of wl there are endless styles to be found in the shops. ’ ‘There are two ways of making these applique panels. One is to cut close to the outlines of the motif pliqued and glue the entire the stretc] - let any least on the after the work is 5 1t is essential that the motif be abso- itely correctly centered on the back- For this reason it is advisable THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE Who wouldn't love to have the op- portunity to wear this smart little ‘woolen frock for class room?

This is the classic style of applique. ‘The bac ound, unless very heavy, is lined to supply body. Whether lined or not, the edge is finished with gimp, gold preferably. These wall hangings are effectively used as over-mantel panels, especially when motif makes a wide hanging. This shape is also excellent to use over console tables, sofas and in wide wall|" spaces. The long panels are well-suited ;g b:l:uaen-windnw spaces and other ng wall spaces. ‘The motifs best for these decorative wall panels are large floral and fruit designs of the FPrench, Itallan and nish patterned goods. Occasionally ere are motifs with animals and birds, which can be transferred to panels as described. A charming scheme for the living room is to have the motif for the panel cut from the same material as the win- dow draperies. in a bedroom the zg:em and accessories can be of glazed intz, linen or cretonne with a panel to match., (Copyrisht, LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE. 1931 The Weakly News.

BY MILDRED MOCKABEE. ol A A HIS writing is particularly in-, teresting in its suggestion of re- pression. The slant indicates a desire to bs a friendly person, who is unrestrained with others. The manner in which the “I" is| formed, however, reveals a great deal about her inability for true s:lf-expres- sion. Notice the way in_which this letter recrosses itself at the base. It seems almost as though the writer might be afraid really to “let go” and be her real self. She probably feels she must hold herself back for fear of becoming conspicuous. If she could reveal her own personality to her friends and acquaintances, they would undoubtedly ‘be surprised. It would be almost like the brilliant moth coming from the plain cocoon. Part of her difficulty in adjusting herself properly in life may lie in. the fact that she is easily discouraged. Thel manner in which she crosses her “t’s”, ith a decided down stroke would sug- | gest this characteristic and also a tend- |ency to despondency. It may be that her aims and ambitions in life have lhcen very high. Because of her fail- ure to achieve these alms she may feel that she has been a complete failure. She should realize, however, that it is only a few who reach the top. For her, the successful completion of everyday tasks will lay the foundation of an interesting future.

She was sitting snuggled close to him, as if thus to sure that he was really there.. It was almost too ‘nod be true, this having him back, for she hadn't expected to ever see him again. “It is hard to believe that that ter- rible two-legged creature really brought you back and let you go,” said she, snuggling a little closer. “Who said that two-legged creature was terrible? He wasn't terrible at all,” replied Stubtail. “You must have changed your mind,” retorted Mrs. Stubtail. “You called him terrible the first time you saw him and he hadn't done anything to you then.” “I have changed my mind,” was Stub- tail's prompt response. “It is a narrow mind that never changes. I thought he was terribe the first time I saw him, but | “I HAVE CHANGED MY MIND,” WAS STUBTAIL'S PROMPT RE- SPONSE. I was mistaken and I am willing to admit it and don’t care who knows i “Just the same, I think he is terrible,” retorted Mrs. Stubtail with a little hiver. All those two-legged creatures are terrible.” “He isn't,” retorted Stubtail obsti- nately. “If he were he would have killed me when he found me in that thing I got caught in.” (He meant the wire trap Parmer Brown’s Boy had set for him.) “Instead of that, he gave me the nicest thing to eat and then brought me back to you. Do you call that terrible?” “No-o,” confessed Mrs. Stubtail re- luctantly. “All the time he took the greatest care to see that I was not hurt in any way,” continued Stubtail, “and tried to see that I wasn't frightened.” “But you were frightened. You know you were!” cried Mrs. Stubtail tri- umphantly. “At first I was” admitted Stubtail. “Any one would have been. I guess some folks would have died of fright.” “I'm sure I would have,” interrupted Mrs. Stubtail and shivered again. “But it didn’t take me long to find out that he intended no harm,” con- tinued Stubtail, “and then 1 wasn't .!nl-‘ld “B‘::m at all.” “How brave you are,” mu; 3 Sw?“tlfl i i Xy irmured Mrs. Stubtail swelled a little at this. know, qn'ool; people like to oeht him that I wasn't afraid of hr:n." em.

There was some of the things we have here, but there were other things I never saw before. My, but they were good!” He smacked his lips again at the memory of the vegetables that Farmer Brown'’s Boy had giveri him. Of course, he never had tasted fresh vegetables of any kind before. That mountain was far from any gardens. “I wish he wguld bring some here to us,” sighed Mrs. Stubtall, little suspect- ing that her wish was to be gratified the very next . “Just the same, I shall always think those two-legged creatures are terrible,” she added a bit defiantly. So, though Stubtail out of his experi- ence had learned that tting error in judgment is one way of gaining in lom, Mrs. Stubtail obstinately stuck to her opinion.

The late peaches are sometimes the best in flavor,- better even than those we get earlier in the season. - It is often possible to combine raw peaches with other ingredients to make deliclous desserts. Here is a Tecipe for peaches and rice that makes use of boiled rice and peaches raw: Put a half teaspoonful of salt and one cupful of boiling water in the top of a double boler. Put it on the fire and gradu- ally add a half cupful of rice, stirring with a fork. Boil five minutes over the direct fire, return to the double boller and steam until the kernels are soft. Mold, chill, turn out in a serving dish and arrange halves of ripe peaches sround it. Sprinkle with rolled dry macaroons. Garnish with sweetened Wwhipped cream. Peach tart may be made by filling a cooked ple crust with cut up peaches and covering with sweetened whipped cream. .

Perhaps it was the fact that Nancy felt so generally wretched which made it hard for her to. put up with her young son this Summer. He seemed to be growing into a self-willed, stub- born youngster, ; He was eternally alert, she dis- covered, when she sat back dispas- sionately and watched him—eternally clert for the words, “You mustn't,” or “Don’t do that.” Just let him hear those words .and he was all cocked to disobay. Sensing that, Nancy said to herself, “Why give him so many ‘dont's'? Most™ of the things he wants to do are harm- less.
