Effect of Blame in Household BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Every person who is blamed for the with criticism, but if it is, it is con- way Ve |structive criticism. way she does her work cannot fail to husband ‘who blames his wife when \wish that the one finding fault could \the running of the house is not to his jor would do the task herself and see what problzns presented themselves. The ecritical onlooker sees things ac- complished, and if not to her liking she feels certain that the work could have been done, and usually she thinks easily done, to bring satisfactory re- sults. 1t takes a person who has per- formed similar tasks to appreciate the amazing number of little things that PANCAKE FLOUR THE Finest Pancakes at the Lowest Cost RGINIA Swrgr "PANCAKE FLOUR BUCKWHEAT FLOUR and SYRUP i THE CRITICIZED ONE WISHES THE FAULTFINDER_WOULD TRY THE TASK HERSELF. |can arise to frustrate and make difficult even the simplest job. Faultfinding is the recourse of small or cramped minds, of persons who are ill or who have little real understand- ing. It is seldom correct, since it is in itself destructive. It is a negative qual- ity and requires the person blamed to see the opposite point of view to be able to benefit at all. Parents who are constantly finding fault and blaming their children for displeasing actions | seldom have the best behaved off- spring Blaming some one for unsatisfactory work or finding fault with him is quite another thing from admonishing him, which is at bottom a kindly act. It is done with the intent to caution and help. It may or may not be coupled Advice to Wives |liking may have just reason. Perhaps she is a poor housekeeper. But she is apt to remember the unkindly criticism |rather than to mend her ways. If she is a good housekeeper, she resents the |blame, knowing that the man knows |nothing of the besetting difficulties. |How she wishes he could run the place for just one day! However, the good housekeeper is not apt t6 be blamed for her housework unless the man is not well, or has been upsct by his own business problems, or is diseppointed in_her unexpected failure, which, of course, bothers the woman sorely. A little cheerful sympathy, not blame, is Ineeded to tide over the situation. A wife who blames her husband for not making more money or for not be- | ing more successful in his business af- fairs may have just cause. He may lack good business judgment. |blaming him kes him depressed or angry and never more cfficient. If he ‘ac(ually has good business acumen, and finances have gone wrong temporarily, [he certainly must wish she could face | his problems, if only for one day, and realize the obstacles he has to sur- mount, But unless the woman is 1l or entirely lacking in knowledge of business she is not apt to censure such a business man, except in sporadic in- stances, when the man probably is as disturbed over the turn of affairs as is she. It is his turn to need sympathy, |the kind that is inspiring and encour- aging. | (Copyright, 1931.) but | STAR, NATURE"’S CHILDREN BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. Illusteations by Mary Foley. CXXXII CAMOUFLAGERS. HE dead leaf butterfly is famous as an imitator of a dead leaf. Even experts have trouble lo- cating her after she has taken her position among “other dead leaves.” The child of the geometrid moth, the caterpillar known as the measurin worm, imitates the twig upon which he clings. He assumes his pose when he hears a bird singing too close by or senses a lizard 1s creeping too near for comfort. ‘The slug caterpillar belonging to the Cochlidulae family looks just like the bud of its host plant. It is the same color as the bud, with a dark spot near its head. Rarely would you notice the little faker until he moved—tree buds are not in the habit of moving. They also have the habit of resting m the Plaids Combined With Plain Fabric BY MARY MARSHALL. Plaids have been lingering on the sidelines of fashion and occasionally bursting into the limelight for some time. Last Winter the plaid silk blouse seemed likely to become & most unwel- come addition to the wardrobe, for as soon as you had summoned up courage to buy one you found that every other woman on the block had done the same thing. But now plaids have returned with & variety that will prevent them from becoming commonplace, No mat- ter how popular. And if you like pur- suing fashions to their sources, you may consider plaids as part and parcel of the Empress Eugenie fashions, for Eugenie | was, as you know, a Spanish princess | with Scotch blood in her veins, and when she became Empress of France was the cause of a tremendous interest in plaids. “This Autumn plaids are usually com- bined with a plain fabric. For Instance, you may wear a fairly large plaid of blue and green for the skirt with a plain blue wool for the jacket blouse, belted with green. Or you may reverse the order and wear a plain skirt with a plaid body. You may have a jacket suit with a ! plaid skirt and a plain black or dark | blue or dark green belted jacket, or you { may wear a plain wool dress with a | vestee and under cuffs of red, white | and blue plaid lawn.

DorothyDix I‘HERE is nothing else in the world that infuriates women so much as to receive a few well meant words of advice on how to retain a husband’s affection. It makes them mad through and through to be told that if they nt their husbands to keep on loving them they must keep themselves lovable, “What!” they cry as with one shrill voice, “am I to spend the balance of my life after I am married vamping my husband? Do I have to keep myself dolled up and easy on the eyes to prevent him from looking at flapprs? Do I have to flatter and cajole him along the road he ought to follow of his own initiative? Do I have to do stunts like a vaudeville performer to amuse and_entertain him to keep him nailed to his own Hireside of an evening? Do I have to use as much finesse in dealing with him as I would if I were negotiating a disarmament treaty? Well, I won't. No husband is worth that much trouble.” AND that is the way ninety-nine out of a hundred wives fecl about it They seem to think there is some degradation in making an effort to please a mere husband. I wonder why. for it is the law of life that we not only have to work to get every good thing, but we have to work still harder to hold it. There is never a place where we can sit down and fold our hands and take thing easily. When you come right down to brass tacks, what is there any more Jowering to a woman’s dignity in her striving to be popular with her husband than there is in her trying to get the glad hand from an audience? What is there more humiliating to her in her jollying along her husband than there is in her jollying along the boss in her office? Why should she objgct so strenvously and indignantly to the idea of handling her husband with gloves when she expects as a matter of course to use all the subtlety of which she is capable in dealing with those with whom she comes in contact in business? I\OBODY knows. Perhaps women themselves do not know why it riles them so much to be reminded of the fact that if they desire to be kissed they must keep themselves kissable, Perhaps it is because their vanity cannot endure the stab of being told that there is nothing alluring to a man in a slovenly woman. The dream of fireside companionship vanishes into thin air before an untidy hearth and a wife who never has a new idea, or anything in- teresting to talk about. No man’s love survives slovenliness, bickering, arguments, lack of understanding and appreciation. Man is an imper- fectly domesticated animal at best and the only way a wife can keep one eating out of her hand is by feeding him sugar.

Household Methods BY BETSY CALLISTER. Ready-to-hang window curtains_are one of the big con now offer to the house furnisher. These curtains come in standard sizes. As most of them are made with valances that hang over the curtains, readjustments of length may be made under the valance. And, of course, the width is easily adjusted by fulling the curtains more or less on the rods. These curtains come in brocaded damask. in cretonne, in printed linen, in tafeta. in net. Really in such a wide assortment of fabrics and colors any color scheme and taste may be satisfied. Some of them are ruffled around the inner edges, and are provided with ruffled tie-backs. Others are bound with contrasting color around the edge, and are provided with straight tie- backs, bound also with color. With some of these curtains, for bed rooms, bedspreads can be bought to match. “Girl, you’re good” says No grayish undershirts after a Chipso soaking!

This is known as protective resemblance. Camouflage is of great assistance to helpless insects which must crawl about for their living. Some if the pill bugs curl up and play dead. There are many insects that feign death and will even let- you prick them and not flinch. Butterflies are adepts in deceiving. It enables them to escape their many enemies. They imitate a butterfly that tastes so badly that they are left alone. This is known as “protected” and the act of imitation as aggressive mimicry. Now the bagworm hangs on your most valuable trees unsuspected ‘and un- molested. She built herself a little thatched home and drags it about with her until it is time for her to reline it for her coming family.
