You'll find smooth steel buttons on new dresses and jackets designed for eruise and sports wear. Brass buttons too that look especially smart on navy blue. Rows of very small gilt buttons are used on afternoon dresses and gilt nail-heads and sequins give brilliance % evening dresses. Rhinestone clips and buckles continue to adorn evening dresses and many of the new hats show jeweled or gleaming metal ornaments.

The sketch shows another dress made with a neck trimming consisting of & single row of looped beads somewhat larger than those used in the wider fringe. You'll find this very easy to copy. All you need is a small skein of pearl or glass beads, some white silk bead floss and a fine needle. The best plan is to string the beads on a narrow silk tape to match the dress which can be sewed along the top of the neckline on the wrong side. (Copyright, 1932.)

Tapper would beat out his long roll, then wait a bit as if listening to see what the effect might be. Each time Chatterer was sure that the drum was the dead limb Tapper had used the season before, At last he reached a point where he could peer around the trunk of a tree, with little chance that he himself would be seen. One good look was enough. It was Tapper. There could be no doubt about it. He was about the size of his cousin, Hairy the Woodpecker, but in- stead of wearing merely a red patch on the back of his head his whole fore- head clear to the top of his head was red, and so was his throat. His upper breast was black and the rest brownish- yellow. As for the remainder of his coat, it was black and white, with a big white bar on each wing. One glimpse of that red throat was all Chatterer needed. There was no other member of the Woodpecker fam- ily with a throat like that. There was no chance of a mistake. Chatterer carefully withdrew and went to get his breakfast. He was not anxious for Tapper to know that he was anywhere about. Having drummed to his satisfaction, Tapper flew straight to the very maple tree where Chatterer had discovered that the sap was running. He wasted no time, but went to work at once. He wanted sap and he wanted plenty of it. He knew just how to get it. Back and forth, back and forth, flew that pretty head of his, and each time his sharp, stout bill tore out a tiny bit £f bark or wood. The inner bark he ate, for it is a favorite food of his. Presently there was a small hole where he was at work. Satisfied that it was big enough and deep enough. he moved over a couple of inches and started another one. When this suited him he made a third and a fourth and & fifth. Now and then he stopped to rest his head and neck, for you know this was real work. But he didn't stop for long. He wanted those holes done as soon as possible. “There,” said he at last, “those ought to give a taste anyway by the time I return. Tll make some more later. The sap is . I was fearful that I bit early, but I am not. around and see how things are here in the Green Forest and what has happened while I was away. Ill have a look at our old home and see if any one has occupied it this Winter. Mrs. Tapper probably will want & new one anyway, but the old one will do to sleep in nights. By the time I get back these holes should be filled with sap. I haven't seen anything of that nuisance Chatterer the Red Squir- rel. It would be just like him to try to steal my sap if he knew that I had tapped this tree. Some people do like to live on the work of other people. There is already some sap in the first holes, I'll take that and by the time I return all the holes should be filled.” So Tapper drank the sap that had collected and then flew away. I was good to be in the Green Forest and he was in & hurry to visit familiar places from which he had been so lon‘hally. He had wasted no time in gett! to work and he felt sure of his reward on his return. (Copyright, 1932.) MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST.

Most of th lines are very light, with on occasional heavier markings. This type of writing is generally indicative of highly tuned artistic temperament. She perhaps is more of a dreamer than a realist. In all probability she expresses this sensative nature in all of her daily contacts. It is to be hoped that she is engaged in some educational or research work. Harsh contacts in the business world might hurt her dreadfully. Library work, teaching or secretarial work in an educational institution would seem to be the best suited to her. Seemingly she is well liked and pop- ular with her friends. Men and women alike would surely respond to her likable personality. She probably is most charming in a gay setting, where she forgets some of her reserve. Appar- ently she would be a most pleasing companion. She should choose some hobby or pastime that would give her an oppor- tunity to express her own originality. She is enough of a dreamer so that she should be able to create new and differ- ent things. She should force herself to utilize this talent. If gpainting, draw- ing or music did not seem to be her forte she might enjoy simple sculpture. Very interesting studies have been made in this field of late. Modeling clay may be bought in any art store. This may be used both for practice and finished work. White soap, also, may be carved in_a most attractive manner. The very short down stroke of the “t” suggests that she may have a keen sense of humor. This, perhaps, displays itself in an ability to express herself in a witty and unusual manner.

Mustrations by Mary Foley. A bird. You will find this unusual looking mouse in the woods; you may happen to find a deserted bird nest filled with tiny baby mice. The mother has very large ears; her fur is a soft, beautiful gray with white beneath the head and under the sides of the body. Her feet are rather pinkish and the front paws ‘WHITE-FOOTED MOUSE. SINGING mouse! What next? You are well acquainted with the squeak of the house-mouse, but this attractive little deer- mouse chirps very much like a have short thumbs. The hind feet are very much longer and have a long thumb. On the bottom of each foot is a calloused spot. These are pink and serve as foot pads. She has large eyes, which size you up at once and she has a most efficient tail. Her whiskers are very sensitive and a great aid to her as she steals forth at night. There are two long, curved teeth in the front of her mouth, then a space and four grinding teeth on each side, above and below. They are just like those of the woodchucks and other rodents. When danger threatents her babies they cling to her breasts as she quickly moves them to a place of safety. They are strange looking little blind things, but even though their eyes are closed, they never fail to wash their faces after a meal! The mother is thrifty and during the Fall will gather many nuts and place them in the hollow of her tree. She is very fond of wild rose hips, berries of all kinds, and picks up food left by campers. Where there are Summer cottages | and friendly folks, these lttle woodsy creatures get to be on most intimate terms with you. They soon learn to enter your home and pull the cotton from your Summer quilts. They nose about your jars and remove the cqvers from boxes and jars. They take any- thing which appeals to them and act more like squirrels than mice. They are most fastidious about them- selves, and the way they nibble and lick their fur, to say nothing about the way they turn and twist to get to every spot, is truly marvelous. After the fur has been attended to they begin on their faces—the front feet are cleaned and inspected carefully before they ever touch the face, and each time the front feet are brought down over the face they are again licked and cleaned. Then as a finishing touch the back of the head is scratched with the hind foot. Where these mice are numerous they have been known to gather too many nuts and where grain has been stored in barns they have made themselves too welcome to another’s goods. (Copyright, 1932.)

Even the happiest marriage is full of trials and tribulations, of adjustments and sacrifices, and it takes a lot of love to make another person’s little personal idiosyncrasies and faults seem dear just because they are John's or Mary's ways, and to make us actually enjoy giving up our wishes and desires and working for another Just because John's or Mary's happiness is more to us than our own.

Furniture and the Fireplace BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. =] T ———c ONE UP-TO-DATE GROUPING OF CHAIRS, TABLES AND LAMPS ABOUT THE FIREPLACE. RRANGEMENT of furniture in a room where there is a fire- place naturally centers about this architectural feature. To- day the return of the fireplace has become established, not from neces- sity, since central heating has advanced beyond the place where the additional heat is essential, but because of the pleasure and sense of comfort which open fires afford. ‘There are several ways of arranging the furniture before the hearth to ac- cent these agreeable sensations. Some are especially applicable to the large room, some to the middle size and | small room. Once a davenport across the fireplace and facing it with a dav- enport table back of it was the stereo- type style, and it did not by any means suit every room. This arrangement does for large rooms only. Even so, a living room in which the main entrance from the hall is dpposite the fireplace does not lend itself well to such a plan. A better arrangement is to have two sofas at right angles to the fireplace and a low table before the fire. Lamp tables, which now are substitutes for antique candle stands, may be posi- tioned at the ends of the sofas farthest from the fire. Or one can be a sofa, or a standard reading lamp can be used of one of the lamp tables. A still newer arrangement for the spacious room is for two easy chairs to face but the ome sofa. Behind the latter a standard lamp can be placed and a lamp table be between the two chairs opposite, or lamp tables can be used in each instance and the standard light be omitted. ‘The low table before the fire is a decorative arrangement to be noted. The shape is generally rectangular. It may be placed quite close to the hearth or be farther back, its position being regulated somewhat by the width of the fireplace or the spaciousness of the room. In a rather small room the table is apt to be shoved back from the hearth, while in a large room # is drawn closer to it. Instead of having a sofa near the slightly toward each other on each side, and so they will face those opposite, welcoming. Lamps on tables can be used for the lighting scheme, or standard and table lamps can be combined. If a room is not large enough to admit of four easy chairs, have but one each side of the fireplace, but do not omit the before- the-fire table. When the living room is actually small, a sofa can be placed along the wall at right angles to the fireplace and take up but little of the needed floor space. Across from the sofa one easy chair with a lamp stand by it supplies balance. There may be another chair near the lamp stand. In the furniture only which pertain to the area the hearth have been included. Copyright, 1982, * With Salad.

NANCY PAGE Alice Puts Beautiful Sheets In Hope Chest. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Alice’s engagement had been an- nounced a few weeks before Christmas. She was planning on an April wedding. Consequently she was attending all the white, the furniture, the art and gift- ware sales that were being offered by the shops. She decided that she and Everett had chosen a fine time to b — “fall in love” and to be married. Truly, everything seemed to be cheaper. She was looking at sheets, and chose a number of bargains. She selected some fine white percale ones for every day—or possibly she should have said —every night. Then she looked at some linen ones. | There were bargains in the round thread linen ones. These she could not afford to miss. And then she looked at the finer linen sheets and purchased a number. She had ideas as to what she would do to embellish them, since the finely embroidered and imported sheets, re- | duced in price though they were, were still too expensive for her pocketbook. She brought some fine, color-fast | gingham in a pastel shade and planned to applique scallops on the hems of some of the white percale ones. On others she thought she would em- broider small dots at regular intervals. Then she bought some flesh pink net, of fine and sturdy weave. She plan- ned to apply a double hem the width of the linen hemstitched one. Then she planned to cut away the under part of the linen hem. On the upper part she had a scroll stamped. This was to be embroidered in fine over-and- over stitch on top of the net. All of the linen save that making the scroll was then to be cut away, leaving a flesh pink hem with a white linen scroll. Another sheet was to be worked in bullion stitch. A double line of small flowers had been stamped and would emerge as pastel colored flowers. JOLLY POLLY A Lesson in Etiquette. BY JOSEPH J.

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER. \EMOCRATS in the House of Rep- resentatives—small thoygh their majority may be—thus far have caused the leaders little concern as to whether they can be count- ed on to be on deck in times of emer- gency. Mention the sub- ject to McDuffie of Alabama, the Dem- ocratic whip, charged with the responsibility of seeing that a suffi- cient number is on the floor at crucial moments, and he’ll fairly beam at you. “I've had no trouble at all,” he says. “I haven't had seriously to crack my whip once this session.” But Speaker Garner, Rainey, the Democratic floor leader, and McDuffie are taking no chances. The strong arm of discipline is never far distant. The “whip” always is held in readiness to crack whenever it is necessary. ‘FPhus when the Democrats decided the other day to jam through their proposal to create a special economy committee to recommend reduction in Government activities, this trio was ready. As it developed, opposition to the measure didn't amount to a great deal. But the Democratic chieftains were all | set if it had. | McDuffle, at Rainey's bidding, had | put_218 Democrats on notice: “It is highly important that you be on the floor and you are respectively urged to be present.” And they were there, too. If this so-called “truce” between the two parties is over, as has been indi- cated, then a stricter vigilance than ever before must be kept by Whip Mc- Duffie. The Democrats have two fewer votes at present as the result of the two deaths. Floor Leader Rainey has been driv- ing the House at full speed during the major part of this session. When- ever there was business to attend to he has held the Representatives in session. Thus when the moratorium was be- ing debated, he issued orders one morning: s “We'll vote on this legislation today it we have to remain in session all night.” On Washington’s birthday anniversary some felt that after the President ad- dressed the joint session in the morn- ing there should be an adjournment for the remainder of the day. Rainey felt_differently. “We’ll meet again at 2:30 in the aft- ermnoon. I think Washington himself would approve.” And at 2:30 they met. Democrats as well as Republicans may not like it every time— But the Democrats are there, MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Reducing Hips. EAR MISS LEEDS—(1) I am 18 years old, five feet tall and weigh 122 pounds. How can I reduce my hips? (2) My hands perspire both in Winter and Summer. What can I use to stop this? WORRIED. Answer—(1) A girl who is short and inclined to be plump should be es- pecially careful to avoid lazy, sedentary habits. Take a brisk three or four mile walk every day. Engage regularly in some athletic sport or classic dancing. Spend at least 10 minutes night and morning in doing setting-up exercises, including the following: Lie on your right side on the floor and, keeping the knee straight, rotate your left leg from the hip forward, upward, back- ward and back to the starting position. Repeat with each leg 10 times, Now over and over on the floor. Jump up and do some vigorous kicking exer- cises in all directions. (2) You may use the following astringent lotion on the palms of your hands twice a day or oftener to check excessive sweating: Two drams tannic acid, one ounce glycerin, two ounces toilet alcohol, three ounces rose water. LOIS LEEDS. Reducing Ankles and Calves. Dear Miss Leads—(1) I am 15 years old and very much overweight. I in- dulge in all sports. How can I reduce my ankles, which measure nine inches? My calf is 14 inches and thigh 22. I weigh 125 pounds. (2) How can I cure so-called hairs on by limbs? FA’ . Answer—Please read my answer above to “Worried.” You need plenty of exercise to keep your figure from be- coming too heavy. You must also be especially careful to avoid dietetic errors, such as eating between meals, choosing rich pastries, candies, thickly iced cake, ice cream, very sweet desserts, fried foods and too much starchy foods. Eat plenty of fresh fruit, salad and green vegetables, however. Avoid con- stipation. You can reduce fat calves and ankles by simple heel-raising exer- cises and ankle rotation. Stand erect | with your figure drawn up to its full height. Inhale and raise on your toes. Hold the position while you count three slowly, then lower your heels to the floor, exhaling. Do the exercise in bare feet or heelless slippers. Repeat ten times twice a day. Next sit on a chair | with one leg crossed over the other at the knees. Rotate the upper foot ten times to the right and ten times to the left. Now change the position of the | legs and rotate the other foot at the | ankle. (2) I think it likely that your trouble is goose pimples rather than ingrowing hairs. If such is the case you can make your skin smooth by scrubbing it every day with warm water and soap, Use bath brush or vegetable sponge to rub in the lather. Rinse well, dry and massage with a little cold cream. If you have real ingrowing hairs, they should: be released with the aid of sterilized needle and the skin then sponged with an antiseptic, or they may be removed by electrolysis. LOIS LEEDS.
