WOMAN’S PAGE.’ Fur Used for Trimming Bands BY MARY MARSHALL. * Narrow fur bands are among the manifestations of the fashion for fur _ this season, for fur is very widely used, .“you know, in the new ciothes. There are long fur coats and short fur coats, there are separate collars and boas and ] capes of fur and there are muffs. And then there are fur trimming bands on “many of the new dresses. If you have some bits of fur in your boxes and trunks you can use_them to trim your dresses at home. If neces- sary, have them cleaned. You can get YOUR BABY good results with home clesning if you powder the fur thickly with cornmeal, let it stay in a day and then shake out thoroughly. | When it comes to using the fur ! trimming bands, lay the pieces fur side down on a table. Mark the design you wish. It may be bauds; it may be some shaped piece. Cut through the'skin of the fur with a sharp knife, not cutting through the hairs any more than you have to. Sometimes you can bind the i edges of the skin with tape and then | fasten the fuf to the dress by means lof the tape. Sometimes you can just | tack the edges of the skin direct to the dress. 1t is better to sew fur on with coarse cotton the color of the skin than with silk, and the coarser you can use it without showing the stitches the better, for the coarse cotton seems to have less tendency to cut through the skin than does fine silk. Also, it holds securely. (Copyright, 1931.)

While the older children are at school for the day it is natural for the mother to devote much more time to the -smaller child. She waits on him, she .cuddles him, she devotes herself ex- clusively to him. Healthy attention is fine for any ichild—he needs a certain amount of it. Too much attention, however, im- mediately develops problems. The baby, . being the center of the stage, will be- have like an angel while the children are in school. But when the fountain of attention is turned off late in the day, he becomes a little demon. He finds he has to be naughty and cross to turn it on again. ‘There are ways in which the mother can indulge herself, and the child, too, without such unhappy results. During this period, probably between two and four years, the child is busy learning numerous things. He is perfecting the art of self-feeding. He should be learn- ing to dress himself, to wash his face and hands, comb his hair and brush his teeth. He s improving his language, end with mother's ear so happily focused upon him, he can babble unre- proved all day long. ‘There are so many things for him to learn that we should make this learning as easy as possible. This first learning is usually in the form of muscular acts. Take the simple act of spooning up his cereal. It requires four motions: pick- ing up the spoon, dipping it into the| cereal, lifting it to the child's mouth, | and putting the spoon down again or poising it for the next dip. It is help- ful for the child to learn these move- | ments in the same order, so that pick- ing up the spoon will lead naturally to | dipping it into the cereal, etc. “BONERS” Humorous Tid-Bits From School Papers.

This may seem unnecessary. It is not. Children very often disobey be- cause they are confused by words. They know the acts, but there are so many ways the mother can convey the ime pression that she wants the child to eat. It is essential that small children learn definite words to accompany definite acts; then they know what is expected of them. Different words for the same acts can be learned later. ‘We also recognize that once & learned set of motions is started, it is easier to complete it than to stop. Perhaps we are accustomed to get the mail each morning. Once we have started to move with that purpose in mind, we are unhappy until we have investigated the mail box and secured its contents. Our muscles yearn to go through the whole chain of acts. 1 In teaching the child such compli- cated acts as washing himself, try to do this each day in exactly the same order. Put stopper in wash basin, turn on water, dip in washcloth, wring it out, wipe off face, etc. This sort of tzaining is immensely valuable. It is legitimate attention which the mother can give the small child without fear of en- couraging an unhealthy desire for more. LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE. Yestidday ma went away to visit Ant Fanny, and tonite after supper me and pop was in the living room missing her, pop saying, Well, Benny, we're alone in the world now, so to speak. We have no woman to guide us, and men with no woman to guide them are alone in the werld, at least accorGing to the poets, he said. It seems diffrent without ma, I said. It does indeed, pop said. It feems distinkly werse. Still, in a way, its roberly a very good thing for you to ff to shift for yourself a little while and to be more or less on your own re- sposibility, and anserable for your own actions instead of having your mother watching your slightest move reddy with advice or warning. Sooner or later you will haff to face the werld for yourself and make your own decisions and re- solve your own problems with no.other guide than your own conscience and common sents, and if you pull a boner you're the one that will suffer for it, so it wont hurt you to have a little fore- taste of having to think and act for yeurself, he said. Yes sir, T said. And I thawt a while, saying, When I get big Ill hafl to use my own judgement and things, and Im old enough now to start practicng, any- ways. That's the ideer exackly, Im delight- ed you see it so clearly, pop said, and I said, Well then this would be grate time for you to get me a byciekle rite away, pop, because then Id reely have something to use my own judgement about, I mean about being careful and everything, but I cant use it without something good to use it on so will you, pop? A bysickle being the most important thing Ive been trying to make him buy me, and pop just opened his mouth and closed it again, and then he said, Youre a little Mackiavellian. Yes sir, will you, pop? I said, and he said, I hardly see any way out of it. Proberly meening yes. A NEW FROM CRANBERRIES THE EVENING SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y. CORY.

He were married, did not attend to his business, became sickly, and went back home to mother I love him, and he did many things to e me happy; and now he says that he will never love any one else and wants to make up and for me to try it over again. My parents forbid me to back to him, but I am miserably unhappy. Do you think we could make a go of it again if we tried it over?

WH.!N children defy their parents and marry against {=ir wishes they shouls least take the consequences of ther own acts and not expect mother and father to e to pay the price of their mistakes.

DOROTHY DIX. DEAR MISS DIX—T am 28 years old and have a fine business vosition. Have been the sole support of my mother since I was 19. My problem 1s this: A young man wants to marry me and my mother is wild for me to take him. She harps upon the subject all the time until she keeps me miserable. Says she could die happy if she knew I was married to this man, but I ¢5 not care for him at all. Do you think it would be right or fair for me to marry this man under the circumstance? I don't. Answer.—Certainly not. You would be miserable yourself and you would make the man miserable, and your marriage would almost assuredly end in divorce. IDON'T let your mother persuade you into marrying this man by telling you that you would fall in love with him after you are married. You would not. You would find marriage intolerable, DOROTHY (Copyright, 1931.) Repairs for Winter. At this time of the year. when we have been accustomed to lving out- doors as much as possible, we are likely to think a great deal about the subject of “keeping in condition.” But we should reserve a thought or two for our homes. Soon we shall be return- ing to them and not a few of us will be unable to say in what condition we shall find them. " Keeping one’s home in condition is & sure way to save money, as well as a sure way to avoid loss, inconvenience, discomfort and even disaster. Do you know whetHer the plumbing of your home is in condition? Repairs are now simple to effect. Later in the year plumbing will undergo its severest tests; if it fails you will suffer damage as well as inconvenience. There is no excuse for leaks and floods and clogged pipes. Bave time and money by having the plumbing examined now. If you have lived in your home for any length of time you may find the electric wiring in need of repair or replacement. Every year there is a heavy pi 'rty loss by fire because of defective Wiring. If one is not trou- bled by repeated short-circuiting or has a complexion secret you, ‘too, can share! “I don’t mind a bit confessing that I'm 39!” says Irene Rich. And why, indeed, should she! As the pictures on this page show, she’s even lovelier - today than she was ten years ago! “You see,” Irene Rich goes on with her winning smile, ‘‘a screen star sim- ply must hold the admi- ration of her public. She must stay young in spite of birthdays. And she does!

If you have any suspicion of them, get in touch with the gas company and have an inspection made of the pipes on your property. During your absence a bill for gas would show, of course, that a leak was present somewhere. Cut down on your gas bills and cut | out the danger of explosions or fire by ridding your gas pipes of leaks. Now is the time to send out your rugs to be cleaned or renovated. Soiled rugs deteriorate rapidly and torn rugs | soon become useless. Increase the life | of your rugs, and furniture as well, by | seeing to it that they are in good con- dition when you put the home in order again. It is not necessary to experience damage or loss to learn that the cost of maintenance is far less than that of replacement. Keeping your home in first-class condition is not only a matter of pride in appearance and concern for comfort, but an interest also in economy. Eastern Colombia is to have a new | air service.
