WOMAN'’S PAGE. Simple Construction in Coat BY MARY JTHING could be simpler than the construction of a cooly coat. It can be made entirely in one plece or sleeves may be pleced to the one plece that comprises ront and back, or if you like you may mpke the back in one plece with two front pieces attached. The diagram shows how to cut the material for a coat coming to th> : gef tips. The dimensions are s iol- Jows: AB and CD equal 24 inches. AC and BD equal 1'; yards. AE, BG, FC, and HD cqual 18 inches. EF and GH equal 18 inches. IE, JF. GK and HL equal 10 inches. MN equals 6 inches. Following a pattern cut according to this design you may make ABCD from | one piece of material 11; yards long and 24 inches wide. Beginning nt O, | which is midway from C and D, rlash | to the center point ¥ to make th2 front opening. Then cut thre: inches either | side frcm Y to make M and N 6 !nches | Jorg for the neck opening. The rleeve | extensions at either side (IEJF and GKHL) ere 10 inches wide nnd 18| inches long. If your material s wide enough you cen cut it 21l from a piece 44 inches wide. You may, if you Ii siope th front edges from M to and from N to O or you may turn back the material from Y to M and from Y to N to form revers. In sewing the coat togetaer fold over at XZ and join AEI to CFJ rnd BGK to DHL in & French seam or fell. Hem or face along OC-AB-DO, the edges of Alec the Great } T love my home—my family, too.

(Copyrizht, 1932) Handwriting BY MILDRED MOCKABEE. 1Y) Yf» T is some time sinte we have con- sidered this semi-print style of writing. This s mple was particu- larly interesting because of the elaboration of the c-pitals. As in “W" shown, they ere not true l the printed letters, but have softening lmesl | that give them the appearance of script. This combinztion of two modes of b havior may be characteristic of her en- tire manner of living. Though she may sincerely believe that she is hard and cynical, there are probably many of her ections that completely belie this atiitude, painting her instead as ra | & sentimentelist. We should prob°b'y find this demonstrated in the furnish- ings of her home. Though she may ‘chiefly adhere to & very modern sim- plicity, there ere, perhaps, many little | embelliskments that she could not re- sist adding. g | We sbould expect her to be especially | | interested in the drama. It would not | cnly appeal to her as an amusement but she would enjoy the cultural de- | velopment received from its study. In | this instance she would perhaps be & | little old-fashioned, preferring the mas- terpieces of the older schocls to the | | present-day realistic tspe of plays. She | | probably thoroughly enjoys a wide so- cial life. Personal contact with charm- ing. intellectual people would be one her chief pleasures. It would also al ‘htr a good medium for self-expression, as her keen mind and original ideas | intelligent wculd appeal to a really | group & Her greatest difficulty perhaps is in | al'owing herself to become too keyed up | i is prchably | con b2coming | easily excited. This nervous tension | would be deirimental to her health. | | causing her at times to be irritable and easily tired.

Ilustrations by Mary Foley. BLUE JAY. Cyanocitta Cristata, “Mr. Blue Jay. full of sass. m ‘base ball clothes of his, In the Sportin’ round ‘the orchard jes Like he owned the premises.’ BRIGADIER GENERAL is not more impressively arrayed than is the handsome and versatile blue jay. Besides being a ven- triloquist of note, he is a clever mimic, a humorist, a planter of for- ests and a clown. What more distinc- tion need he claim as an unusual bird. bird. the crown, including the crest, hind neck, back, shoulders, rump and upper wing coverts are a lovely grayish-blue while his head, chin and throat are a blueish-gray. A handsome black collar is about his neck. The greater wing coverts es well as the secondaries and tail feathers are a deep azure blue, broadly tipped with white, except the two middle quills, and are barred with black. His breast and sides are smoke gray. His eyes are bright and his beak is very sharp. As a building constructor he is a failure. in his work. The hcme is made of leaves, bark strips and rags. His domicile lcoks like a shack. In this | six_dull, olive-greenish, spotted eggs. The nest is built in conifers. The children resemble their parents, but are not as brightly garbed. This, however, is for their protection while they are helpless. Blue jays are per- manent Tesidents and only migrate when the food supply runs low. They are fond of eggs and rob nests both of their eggs and babies. While hunt- ing for food for his hungry offspring, the bird is a most quiet fellow. After the family is self-supporting he be- comes him own noisy self. He teases and torments the sleepy owl, who is foolish enough to show his abject fear of the jay. This is a great weakness on his part, as it tends only to urge his tormentor on. Seeing a| flock of small birds, he gives the whis- tling scream of the red-shouldered hawk. The birds are thrown into a panic and their tormentor rushes off | with a guffaw and seeks another form of deviltry. He loves to hide things, and a pet jay in the home is a trial to your soul. Your thread, pipe, thimble, the baby’s rattle—nothing is safe from his clutch- es. Under the caves, a shingle or the cratch of a tree, wour belongings will be hidden. He caches his store of nuts in the orchard or forest and_thereby becomes a planter of trees. He is an ardent seeker of the agile grasshopper, the fleet mouse, lazy lizard and ravenous caterpillar. His reputation is a bad one, but a thorough investigation by those of unprejudiced minds have proved he is not as bad as he is paint- ed. With all his antics, there is ever the clown, and you like the fellow in spite of his sins. (Copyright, 1832.) OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATEL Breaking a Habit. RY as we may, children form habits that must be broken. They discover, for example, that by making a scene at bedtime they profit. They gain time; they gain attention; they dominate the household. Sometimes they choose the mealtime for their demonstrations. They won't eat at all, or they insist upon one person feeding them, or they have a crying spell. In any event they upset the family and make life miser- able for everybody, themselves included. “Something has to be done to break up this habit,” mother declares and father heartily agrees that something ought to be dcne at once. But what? Spanking doesn’t help. Scolding is s0 much fuel to the flame. They don't JA NUARY 11, 1932. SCREEN ODDITIES BY CAPT. ROSCOE FAUCETT. * Jeanerte_MacDonaLo 18 DEAD "---- PROCLAIMED A FRENCH NOVEL, $O JEANETTE WENT TO PARIS TO PROVE THAT SHE WAS VERY MUCH ALIVE. As I have said, he is a handsome | He has a finely crested head,| He seems to have little pride | shanty his spouse places from three to| mind going without a meal if they get satisfaction out of the disturbance they cause. Nothing seems to affect them. The very best way to set about breaking up an old habit and establish- ing a new one is to change the scene. You see, habit depends a great deal on the familiar scene. Your own house, YOUr OWN Toom, your own service, your own people, force you into the old rou- tine. Your coffee is waiting, o you drink it. The car is ready and you step into it. So on all day. But if you fourd yourself in a foreign land all the old habits wculd have to go by the board and you would have-to establish new ones. And you would. Associations are the food of habit. ‘The place where the deed was first ac- complished, the people who were there, their actions and voices, all are blend- ed into this action, this habit. Just as soon as the child sees the place, the person, the object, hears the voice of the person assoclated in this habit, the process starts and the habit is in full swirg. The absence of the associations will delay the recall of the idea. A few delays, a few omissions of the per- formance and the habit is weakened. A prolinged omission and the habit is about finished. About. It is rarely quite dead. A strong revival of rou- tine, a strong stimulus from the asso- ciations, and it rises to life. If you want to change a child's habits, change his environment, his as- sociations, the cultural qualities in which his habits were set, and you have a gocd chance of succeeding. That is why we send a spoiled child to a good boarding school. That is why camps help to overcome a child's weakness. That is why a long visit to an_under- standing relative helps a child who was unhappy at home. That is wky we send children to the hospitals for cbservation and training. We want to give them a new start. You have always believed in a fresh start. You were always right. Set the stage for a fresh beginning and do all you can to avoid the old associations, do all In your power to cause the child to forget the old days, and there is & strong chance you will succeed. 1t is a mistake to correct a child and | then scnd him back to the old routine, . in the same old way, expectirg him to | charge. The habit was set by practice | and sustained by associations. Inter- rupt the practice and change the asso- ciations, and the child will forget the past in the fresh beginning. (Copyright, 1931.)

In cold Weather people | with complexions of the dry type suffer from even moderate ex- | posure out of doors. Their skin, an lips, face, hands and ankles, becomes | chapped when it is not given more | than the usual protection. They are| also often bothered with cold feet and red noses Th= care of the skin in Wintertime includes two things: First, its protec- | tion, and second, cleansing. Lips | should be rubbed with a facial cream before lipstick is applied, or, if the lips are already red enough, the two opera- tions may be combined into one by using white lipstick, which is just & | rather stiff cold cream in a convenient | stick form. An soily powder base is| needed over face and neck. This should | be gently massaged in and then wiped off, leaving a thin film of oil to hold the face powder that is dusted on next.| So much for protecting the skin. | In Wintertime the dry skin should be | cleansed with ofls or cold cream every maceti and one-half ounce white wax| day. Sometimes the soap-and-water washing that usually follows this oil cleansing should be omitted or limited to every other night. The condition of | the skin will determine just how often soap may be used on it. Once a week an oil facial treatment should be given to keep the skin smooth. Every night after the cleansing some tissue cream or muscle oil should be patted gently on | the skin, especially where wrinkles form at the outer corners of the eyes and month. To prevent chapped hands one must be very careful to dry the skin well after washing and immediately apply & hand lotion. Wear warm gloves that areé not too tight. Do not let your hands become chilled. At bedtime massage with & tissue cream. Never manicure the nails when the hands are cold and dry Chapped ankles need an oily mas- sage at bedtime and protection from cold during exposure outdoors. Thin silk stockings do not afford enough protection on wintry days. One may buy light-weight wool _stockings to wear under silk ones. The knitted gaiters or leggings that have been popular for several Winters are even more satis- factory than the under stockings, be- | caues they can be taken off without re- moving one's silk hose when one goes | indoors. The creams and oils that are so necessary to keep the skin lubricated | at this season may be purchased at any store that handles cosmetics, but for | those of my readers who prefer home- | made beauty aids the following recipes Tissue Cream—Melt together in a double boiler one-half ounce white wax, one-half ounce spermaceti, two ounces lanolin and two ounces of ofl of sweet almonds. Remove from fire and beat in gradually one ounce orange flower water snd five drops simple tincture of benzoin. Muscle Oil—Three ounces oil sweet almonds, two ounces sweet ofl, one end one-half ounces cologne water, one-half dram oil of roses, one-half dram sim- ple tincture of benzoin. Lip Salve—Melt one I am giving ounce sper- in two ounces olive oil. Remove from fire and beat with an eggbeater until cool. Then beat in four drops of oil of rose-geranium and two drops cochineal.

She had been persuaded to talk to them on the best ways of keeping plants in the house in | the Wintertime. The question came up because some of the members were | having difficulty in keeping their Christmas plants. Here in brief are some of her com- ments: Begonias like rich loamy soll. They need plenty of water and light. Direct sunlight is not necessary. It is wise to let the plants rest somswhat in the Fall, if you have them the year round, but in ‘November, or whenever extra blos- soms are wanted, stimulate the plant with fertilizer. Cyclamen thrive in a cool room and require a great deal of moisture. After the Christmas blooms have lost their beauty puill them off. Keep in humid atmosphere and the plant will continue to send up blossoms for a long time. The Christmas or Jerusalem cherry is a popular Christmas plant. To carry it over for another vear prune it to the desired shape and plant in ground and let it remain until middle of Septem- ber. Then it should be taken up and potted in good soil. If aphis appear sprinkle with nicotine solution. Christmas cactus may be a mass of scarlet bloom during the Winter if planted in a soil made up one part sand and two parts of rich garden loam. There should good drainage. It should have plenty of sunlight. Slips may be started easily from it. Nancy asked about amaryllis and learned she should keep it well watered, adding fertilizer. “Let plant rest dur- ing Summer and it will start blooming again near the holidays,” added the florist.
