WOMAN'’S PAGE Duster Bags With Two Pockets BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. AGS, THE LE ARE h two pockets are the best kind to use for duslvrs‘ One pocket is for the clean and ed cloths the other for the which are not yet sufficiently | soiled to go Into the laundry, and can | be used again. A busy homemaker does | not have time to wash out a duster each time it is used, yet it should not go| in again with spick and span ones. | The double pocket bags are just the | things, therefore. Of the many two-pocket bags, the _purse style presents itself as ex- \t. This may be a familiar one to most of you, but for the benefit of those unacquainted with it, I may say its pockets are not divided off in any way except by rings which close each pocket end separately. The bag 15 double length of rather rarrow strips of textile and has & long length slit in the center of one side. This is the sole opening. The two rather tightly fitting rings which are slipped on over | the bag, can be pulled back and forth across the slit to open or close which- | ever side is wanted open or shut. The strip of bag between the two ends forms the handle adequately when the rings are down and the bag is closed. ‘The beauty of miser duster bags con- sists in the kind of materials used. | Fancy silks and satins, plain or blocked | linens, cretonnes, etc, are among the popular textiles. Tub materials should | be used. | 1YPES OF T™WOU The Woman Who Makes Good BY HELEN WOODWARD, Whose uniquely successiul career, enables her to speak with authority on problems of the modern woman, To Make Friends. | “Dear Miss Woodward: I am & few | days past 18, with no companions.

This sort of bag is recommended to go on_the inside of | the broom closet door. Sew rings along the top edge to fit over hooks screwed into the door. The bag is then easily | taken down and put up whenever it goes to the laundry. The laundry-bag style of duster bag is another that lends itself well to the | purpose. Put a center lengthwise slit in two of three pleces of material all | cut the same size. Baste the pieces together with the two having the slits in them on each side of the plain piece. Bind all edges. Sew & length | of the binding tape to each top and | use this to hang the bag up with.

Chelymorphia Cassidae. HEREVER the sweet potato, morning glory or bindweed grows there you will find the tortoise = beetle, also known as the goldbug. He even takes his family traveling into Canada in order to get the food his appetite craves. It is in early May or June that the tortoise beetle makes his first appear- ance. All Winter long, since the Au- | gust before, he has slept in a sheltered place under the bark or trash, await- ing the time when the sweet potato will put forth her tender leaves. He fis about one-third of an inch long, with a coat of brick red, well decorated with about 20 small round black spots on the forward part of his back. In shape he is very convex and the margins of his body are not extended. His wings are strong, his legs steady and his jaws mighty. It is June, the favorite month for Argus beetles to wed. A very attractive- looking damsel comes along and among the tender sweet potato leaves the mar- riage takes place. Later the young motker places from 15 to 30 eggs in clusters on one leaf. They are fastened securely by a slender foot stalk or pedicle. In about 10 days curious-looking tor- tolse bables are creeping under the leaves, seeking seclusion. Whether it is their modesty or self-preservation which urges them to hide I am unable to say. Their heads are a brownish black and their bodies a light yellow. When fully grown these youngsters are about !, inch long with an outline of black-tipped spines. At the very tips of their bodies are two very long | spines that curl over their backs like | & squirrel’s tail and greatly add to their ‘(hlrm. ‘These spines are most useful | when an old coat is outgrown, and are | used to pull the outgrown garment off. It is then hoisted by the spines over the back of the owner. All discarded matter is treated in the same way and the whole mass held together with silk. It looks like & pack, and has earned this creature the name of “pedlar.” When traveling he looks like an ani- mated bit of dirt. After shedding five coats he is ready to close this chapter of his existence and seeks a leaf upon which to fasten himself. More coats are shed, and he TORTOISE BEETLE is & very different fellow from the one who sought the leaf. At last he emerges a grown beetle. It is now August and, his appetite being rather poor, he de- cides to seek Winter quarters, Under the trash he creeps and will not be seen again until the following M: It is said by those who are compe- tent to know, that these beetles express their emotions by their colors. This is what the artists have been trying to do and teach for some time. Some of these little tortoise beetles are brilliant- ly marked, and if one is to judge their sentiments by their colors, they are very beautiful, indeed. (Copyright. 1932.) Some of them have little to show when the shyness is gone In some ways friendship is like love. The harder you try to win it the less likely you are to get it. A girl who wants a lover and tries too hard makes all kinds of false moves and reduces her value in the eyes of the man she wants to get. So also the girl who wants friends. If she tries too hard, she is apt to make hersell unwelcome. Bhe's apt to be self-conscious. You'll find that the less you worry about it the more likely you are to be at ease, and because you are at ease the shy people do not necessarily have good qualities that they are hiding away. more likely you are to make friends.

Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Improvement of Memory. | The chief difficulty in the way of memory improvement is the fact that there 13 no faculty called memory. At | least there is no memory in the sense that it is & capacity to be “filled” so that it will stay “filled.” You have sev- eral million of tiny brain cells which are hooked together when you learn something. These hook-ups constitute & nerve track which carries the thing learned over the appropriate path every time you need to use it. The oftener you repeat the thing you want to re- member, the stronger will the nerve hook-up become. For that reason you are able to recall more and more easily what you have tried to remember. Quit using these pathways and you forget— naturally and automaticaily. scheme for so-called memory improve- | ment, all you have to do is to run over | the old pathways of the mind (the| nerve hook-ups) once in awhile, Repe- tition is the big secret.

Yowler the Bobcat was hungry. He had been hungry before. Yes, indeed, he often had been hungry, very hungry, but never as hungry as he was NOW. Anyway, this is the way he felt as he prowled through the Green Forest. It was all because of the great snoW. While the storm lasted for the greater part of two days, he had not so much as poked his nose outside his home, which was a cave in a certain ledge of rock. He had been comfortable there, for the wind and snow could not reach him—that is to say, he had been com- fortable in all but his stomach. In that a gnawing hunger had grown and grown until he just couldn't keep still. Time and agaln he crept toward the entrance to his home, only to turn back with a snarl as he heard the hissing of the snow and the wail of the wind. I% was useless to go out in such a storm and he knew it Even when the storm ended Yowler was for a time no better off. The snow | was so deep and soft that there could | “SOME PEOPLE ARE HARD TO PLEASE,” THOUGHT HE. be no getting about until it had settled and packed somewhat or had crusted over. However, he was better off than some others, for his big feet would en- able him to travel over softer snow than most people could. Still, he was so uncomfortably hungry that his pa- tience was quite exhausted when at length on the edge of the evening he ventured forth. Like a drifting gray shadow, he stole from thicket to thicket and cover to cover, hoping to surprise Jumper the Hare or Thunderer the Grouse, or even little Whitefoot the Wood Mouse. S0 at last he came to the hemlock tree in which Prickly Porky the Porcupine was complaining as he stripped a bough of its green needles or leaves, its tender twigs and even its bark. He was stuff- ing himself with food that he liked. He knew nothing of the pains of hunger. He never had known them. Yet he was | complaining just because he didn't like the snow. For a moment Yowler stopped Lo‘ listen. The fretful, compaining voice of Prickly Porky floated down to him. “Some people are hard to please, thought he. ‘“Imagice, just Imagin ADVERTISEMENT.

He| wss 8o busy eating and at the same time fretting that he took no heed to his surroundings. He didn't see Yowler. | His dull eyes saw only the food before | him. To see another having all the food he wanted while he himself was starying was more than Yowler could bear. You | must admit it was trying, to say the least. He knew all about Prickly Porky and the thousand little spears carried in his coat and on his tail. He knew too, that underneath Prickly was not protected at all, and that if once he| could be thrown on his back he would “If T could get one paw under him, I might be able to throw him over.” thought Yowler, and started up that tree. Now, if Yowler had not been quite desperate he would not have even dreamed of trying to do such a thing. But hunger leads people to do desperate things. It was so with Yowler. He couldn't climb as silently as he could travel on the snow. Prickly Porky | heard the sound of his claws on the | tree and at once began to back along that bough to the crotch where it joined the trunk. The thousand little | spears stood out from the hair of his coat and his tail was in readiness to be swung this way or that when Yowler should come within reach. Just before he came Within reach Yowler stepped on a little spear that had fallen from Prickly Porky's coat and lodged in & crotch. It pricked and hurt, It did more. It caused a wise and sudden change of mind on Yowler's part. He realized the hopelessness of what he had meant to do. With a sav- age snarl he leaped from the tree and after pulling that little spear from his | foot went on his way. (Copyright, 1932) JANUARY_ 4, 1932. Household Methods BY BETSY CALLISTER. Most houses and apartments are bullt on the general supposition that the more and larger your rooms, the more and larger should be your closets, though 1t wouldn't be a bad idea to reverse this and increase the roominess and number of closets as you reduce the number ard size of your rooms. | It is a fact that you can get along | with very much smailer rooms and still | not feel crowded or hampered if you | have spacious closets, shelves and cup- | boards enough to store all articles not needed to have exposed. And a few | feet of area add enormously to a closet without giving any appreciable space in | a room. | You can get along with a very small | kitchen, a veritable kitchenette, if you | see to it that along the wall space of | that kitchen you have numerous shelves, closets and cupboards. And you can | get along with very much less equip- | ment in the way of cupboards if the ! kitchen is spacious enough to provide | for full equipment in tables and other | articles of kitchen furnishing. 1t is always & good plan to have | enough shelf space and cupboard space | s0 that you need not have to figure on | having your possessions and supplies | stowed away in close array. | (Copyright, 1931.)

One thing can be definitely asserted, however, and this is that every breakfast should include some fruit, preferably raw fruit, such as apples, oranges, figs, grapefruit and some cereal with cream, milk and sugar. Just as important as the food itself is the manner in which it is taken. A last-minute rush is quite incompat- ible with good digestion, particularl if it is associated with worry and cal- | culations as to the anticipated events of the day. It is & good rule to rise enough to allow at least a quarter of an hour between the completion of dressing after exercise and the begin- ning of breakfast. Exercise before an open window for at least 10 minutes, being sure to combine deep breathing with the body movements. On getting SCREEN ODDITIES BY CAPT. ROSCOE FAUCETT.

Return 1o ups right position and repeat the exercise 10 times. Exhale on the forward bend and inhale when arms and trunk are raised erect. Setting-up exercises are intended to bring all the principal muscles into play every day. It is the general set- ting-up exercises that should be taken day after day indefinitely in order to keep the whole muscular, organic and nervous system fit. If an especial set of muscles needs development, the movement in which they are involved should be repeated several times slowly. To reduce flabby muscles and build up suppleness instead, repeat the exercises with more speed and vim, but avoid violent exercise. The home woman and the sedentary worker often loses her figure so gradually that she does not realize it. It is far better to keep one's figure fit by a little moderate exercise every day than to launch all at once on a drastic figure-slimming treatment or a drastic reducing cam- paign when the flesh has become bur- densome in any particular place or the whole figure is too heavy. For those who have the opportunity a walk after breakfast, or even a short stroll through the garden or flelds, is ideal, and even town dwellers can man- age a short walk, if only part of the way to business, which will fill their lungs with the fresh air of the early morning. During this short interval an effort should be made to keep the mind in a quiescent state. Later in the day, when one is sustalned by nourishment, is quite soon enough to start solving the problems of the day. To start worrying too early is to invite indigestion and nervous haste, with the result that one ends the day in a fatigued condition.
