EQUESTS have ccme in for needlework ideas for children and gift suggestions for articles that young girls can easily make for Christmas gifts. The articles described today fill these requirements | Mother, or some older person, will, of | course, 'have to co-operate with really ¢ when they fochi~n the things, e THE BRAIDED MAT MAY BE LARGE ENOUGH FOR A CHAIR SEAT. but this is true of anything tiny hands attempt to make. | A braided-mat tea-table set is a | novelty. It consists of a miniature round braided mat for the teapot to stand on and two deminutive cblong mats seamed together along half their lengthwise edges to form a holder, The opening must be large enough readily to slip over the handle of a teapot. Or a braided mat may be large enough | for a chair seat. | | The material may be three strands of | | braid of different colors, which har- monize pleasingly. Or the strands may | be of any textile, silk, linen, cotton, or wool, or extra heavy yarn, such as comes for rugeraft. For smail children mother’s help will be needed in cutting strands and sewing them into correct mat shapes for the two articles. Width of strands will vary if different weights of material are used. Strands | must be of approximately the same size. BY CHARLOTTE C. WEST, M. D. | HILE indoor skating in artificially | prepared rinks is one of the wholesome Winter pastimes, it does not compare, from the standpoint of health, with outdoor skating. | One of the principal reasons for sickness in Winter is_insufficient exer- cise in the open. No other form of outdoor sport within the reach of the| masses can compare with the delight- | fully exhilarating joys and physical benefits accruing from ice skating. | This form of play encourages deep | breathing, which affects the circula- | tion. Speeding up of circulation warms the blood and sends a ruddy glow to all parts of the body. For the development of the limbs skating is better than walking, because of the tension put upon the muscles and the rapid movements required. Skating promotes bodily grace and | balance, strengthens the ankles, tapers | the hips and flanks, broadens the chest and shoulders, so molding the body in perfection of line. *So exhilarating is this sport that some girls become too enthusiastic and overtax their strength It is a wonderful exercise for the anemic with soft muscles. But it must be taken lelsurely at first, and care | MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST. Grapes. Bran with Cream. 1 Omelet. Whole Wheat Muffins. Marmalade. Coffee. LUNCHEON.

LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE. children Today in school Miss Kitty was telling us about kindness to dum animals, say- ing, Many kind harted people have written epitaffs to the memory of their dogs and cats, In fact grate poets have written bewtiful pomes about berds and even insecks such as butterflys and crickits.

Now lets se who'll be the ferst, she sald Wich Billy Morrison was, his epitaff being Here lies Mister Grasshopper Under the cold cold ground. | Just as dum and useless now As when he was hopping around Thats not very simpathetic, I must say, Miss Kitty said.

For he proberly never had one. Well, thats a little better, at least it has a tragic touch, is there anybody elts? Miss Kitty sald Wich there was, being me, my epi- tafl being h Here lies a grasshoppers cold remains, Being epitaff the 3rd, O he mite be neerer to heaven If be'd been eaten by a berd. O well, lets go on to the spelling lesson, Miss Kitty said.

Skates and shoes should fit and be insepa- rable. The old-fashioned clamp skate has gone into the discard The fundamentals of all the 300 odd movements in the art of skating are as follows: Straight ahead skating, straight backward skating, turns to right and left, skating on the outside edge for- ward, skating on the inside edge for- ward, skating on the outside edge backward and on the inside edge back- | ward. | When these movements are mastered | each of the many dozens of fancy fig- ures that represent the knack of fig- ure skating are direct applications of one or more of these movements. The secret of skating is balance That wonderful neuro-muscular con- trol. called body lance develops su- | perlative beauty. Any girl who wishes to train her body into lines of exquisite grace and flexibility, while at the same time improving her health, can do so by becoming expert in fancy skating Ice hockey is a strenuous sport for athletic girls who are proficlent in field hockey. The most spectacular players on a hockey team are those whose main business is to rush the puck to the other team's goal and make a score. As an invigorating, health-promoting and figure-developing exercise, ice hockey is unrivaled for the athletically educated girl, but this sport is not ad- vised for a naturally nervous girl.

The Lacey girls had established a reputation for themselves as the makers of their own Christmas cards. This year they knew that funds would not permit them to spend a great mmount and yet they had an even larger circle of friends than ever before. Father and mother had ordered their cards, but the girls wanted to make their own. It was Claire who had the | idea “Let’s use rather heavy paper. letter size. We will paste some cut-out trees on the upper part “Below that we will letter in our greetings. And then we will fold the sheets almost in thirds, and fasten the edge 10 the folded-over part of s with two silver stars, the kind that come with paste or gummy sur- face on the Ix “Where will we get the pape was F n's firs question.

Or buy one card and get the pattern from that.” Claire sounded both disgusted at her sister and jubilant over her own idea. Salmon Mold. Drain one can of salmon and remove all bones and skin.

Serve with a vegetable salad of sliced tomato, cu- cumber, radishes and celery we won't buy | vill we get the pattern for | it | Handwriting What It May Reveal. BY MILDRED MOCKABEE. HE first thing to notice in this | handwriting is the formation of the letter “k.” Although it is very inexactly made, it scarcely denotes ‘carelessness on the part of the writer. Instead, it seems to Te- | veal a determination of purpose that is not hampered by undue regard for use- less_detail. She perhaps is so intcrested in the completion of an idea that she has no | consideration for little non-essentiale. She would do any necessary small tasks, but in as rapid a manner as pos- | sible, conserving her time and energy for the larger idea She would never be content to spend all of her time at home. Though she | would desire a pleasant home and would do all in her power to make it | so, she probably also demands active outside intere Housework might not | be easy for her. She would, perhaps, | prefer to work outside, depending upon | some one else to perform her household uties. A he doubled circled “o” reveals & tenacity that is perhaps stubbornness. | The beginning of the “0,” closed as it is within the circle, suggests one who is hampered by many conflicting ideas. She perhaps does not have a true free- dom of spirit. For this reason she pos- sibly finds it hard at times to over- come this inertia or inability to “get started.” If she could forget the fear of what others might think or the pos- sibility of being wrong, she would be tar_happier. Though she seems to have the men- tal qualifications for leadership, she seems to lack a sense of responsibility It is not that she so desires, but she { may not have a true realization of the importance of any responsibility that might be placed in her. More thought |and consideration should easily over- |came this tendency.

COARSE skin with enlarged, clogged pores and pimples is unsightly, and plenty of time and patience must be expended before beauty can be restored to the skin. Blackheads appear not | orly on the olly, coarse type of skin, but also on dry, sensitive complexions, | These blemishes start in the mouths of the oil glands which have been clogged with pewder, dirt and their own hard- ened secretions. Such a state of affairs Latfier with medicated sqap. | makes an excellent breeding ground for the acne bacillus, which, with other | organisms, is responsible for the beauty | problem we are discussing. | The characteristic appearance is the | presence of blackheads, with numerous | enlarged pores and pimples in various stages of development. If this skin | condition is neglected, a chronic case | of acne develops, which is difficult to remedy and is ruinous to beauty. | The prevention of this beauty prob- | lem is much easier than its cure. In|{ the average case correct diet will do| much to check acne. Indigestion and constipation must be avoided. One should drink plenty of water during | the day and take sufficient active| exercise out of doors. More raw salads, | fresh fruits and succulent vegetables should be included in the daily diet, while less starchy foods, sweets and meat should be eaten. Locally the oily type of skin with enlarged pores is benefited by rather vigorous treatment. At bedtime wash the face or parts affected with hot water and a good lather of soap. Medi- cated soap 1s good for cases where there is a tendency to acne. Dry with a turkish towel after rinsing in' clear, cold water. Next apply an astringent compress that will tighten the skin and reduce the enlarged pores. Witch hazel- or the following lotion may be applied and allowed to dry on the skin Twenty-five grains ric acid, two ounces witch haze three ounces orange flower water, drops simple tincture of benzoin. Mix well. If blackheads have already formed, the face should be steamed with hot towels and the blackheads extracted with a special instrument made for this purpose called a comedon extractor They are obtainable at any large drug store or surgical supply stores. Bathe the parts affected before and after pressing out the blackheads with warm boric acid solution, whi |skin dry and apply the can be ob-da; LEEDS, tained ready prepared from the drug store or made at home by dissolving one heaping teaspoonful of boric acid in one pint of boiling water. Allow to cool before using. After pressing out the blackheads and bathing, blot the following lotion: One dram potassium sulphide, one dram sulphate of zinc, six ounces rosewater. Shake well and apply it with a piece of clean absorbent cotton. Allow to dry on the skin. Tanning and mild sunburn are ex- cellent for this type of skin.

PROMETHEA MOTH Callosamia promethea HO would suspect the prome- thea’s child of being so clever. Right before your eyes are rolled leaves, hang- ing straight down from the stem. Yes, many of these skillfully rolled leaves are swaying on their silken cord in the winter's wind. They appear to be dead, dried leaves, stubbornly on. These lttle silk-lined hammocks are so secured to their moor- ings that it takes more than a play- ful breeze to dislodge them. Late last Fall, a promethea caterpil- lar rolled herself in a silk-lined leaf. She fastened its stem tightly with strong threads of silk to the twig. Noth- ing short of a cyclone could disloge this sung home. On the bare boughs of wild cherry, sassafras, lilac, buttonwood, ash and others, these rolled hammocks may be seen. They are seldom torn from their silken ropes. In May or June the moths work out of the doorway they left conveniently open when they tucked themselves in the Fall before. The girl moths are much larger than the boys. In fact, the boys don't even look as if they be- longed to this family. They are slender, with very black wings, which are bord- ered in a design of ash color. The fore wings are very graceful and dis- tinctly sickle-shaped. Their antennae are plumy and they have six slender legs. They are afterncon filers and night gadabouts. The young damsels are dressed in reddish brown, with lines of white, bordered with black, on their wings. The outer margins of the wings have a design in clay color and each wing has & crosswise spot of black on the tip. The lady is buxom, and as soon as she makes her debut she has many suitors. After mating, the mother lays her rows of whitish eggs, with their little brown stains, in the under side of the leaf of her favorite tree. Shortly after, sociable little caterpillars, ringed in black and yellow, are seen under the leaf. They get along famously to- gether, and march along like elephants in a circus parade, so clcse together, youl can hardly tell where u caterpillar ns. They are greedy little fellows. In five days, their first suit is, oh, so tight! Now we see these babies weaving a rug of sitkk on which to stand when they pull themselves free of their outgrown garments. They have the same col- ored suit as before. Five days more and another rug is woven, another suit pulled off. This time he is handsomely dressed in a bluish-green coat, decorated in black and yellow. His next and last suit is a deeper color. Large button-like spots of bright crange are added. His head is blonde. He has six rows of short black polished warts on his body and a bright yellow one on the tip, Besides his six legs, he has eight prolegs. His jaws are strong, his figure is portly. You can tell his age by the style and color of his coat. He is a clever botanist. He can tell a_ compound leaf from a simple one. The, upper edge of the leaf he covers with' silk, securing the stalk to the twig. The work is carefully inspected, then the two edges of the leaf are drawn together, forming a blanket. A valve- like ddor is left open. The caterpillar goes to sleep to waken later as a moth. (Copyright, 1931.) Peanut Fudge.
