Making Picturesque Collars BY MARY EDICI collars, they call them, though there is no very close resemblance between the rigid, precisely arranged collars worn by Catherine de Medici 400 years ago and these softly draped satin or velvet collars that are appearing on gome of the charming little wraps for Spring and Summer evenings. These ‘xs seamed up to form t new collars seem decidedly preferable, 8t least so far as ease of wearing and general becomingness are_concerned. They are not at all difficult to make and a really strategic move in bring- ing your wardrobe up to date would be to add one to the short little evening DAILY DIET RECIPE ARTICHOKE HEARTS SUPREME. Artichoke hearts, four; French dressing, one-half cup: caviar, three ounces; finely minced onion, four teaspoons. SERVES FOUR PORTIONS, | If fresh artichokes are used they should have the stems cut } back short and the tops of each | | leaf clipped with a scissors, then | | soaked in cold water about half an hour, drained and then steamed until tender—that is when a leaf can be removed easily. The leaves must be re- | | moved to get the heart. Leaves could be used for a luncheon | | salad with French dressing. The { thistle part is removed from the heart and only the cup like heart | | used for this recipe. Soak hearts in French dressing one hour. At time of serving fill each heart with caviar and garnish with minced onion. UNCLE RAY’S CORNER Life in the Middle Ages. KNIGHTS. ) LD pictures in hand-written books of the Middle Ages are amusing to us. The artists were usually rather poor at their work. In one quaint old picture, knights are shown in a castle courtyard. The knights are drawn fairly well, but faces in the windows are made much too large.

Such contests were for sport; but there were other times when knights | rode against each other with deadly | purpose. 1f one was knocked to the | ground, he would try to draw his sword and keep up the fight Some_knights lived in castles, but others kept wandering from place to place. They knew of nothing better to do than search for adventure. Peo- ple called them “knights-errant,” meaning wandering knights. The knight-errant went forth alone or with a single squire. He would ride along a narrow dirt road or per- | haps over a path through & woodland Sometimes a knight would take a sta- tion beside & road or near a bridge, and would challenge every knight who came along to do_combat. It was a custom in some parts for the victor to take the shield of the knight who lost. A strong and skillful knight was | likely to obtain as many shields as | his squire could carry ! Now and then knights were called | together for tournaments. One group ! of knights would charge against an- oiher group, and there would be & lively contest to see which group could | do more damage to the other side. Tournaments were held in fields not far from the castle of a noble. Ladies of the castle, dressed in the finery of their time, watched the knights per- form. Before or after the group fighting, single combats took place, and honor was paid to the winner of the greatest number of combats. A crown might be placed on his head by a daughter of the noble who had called the tourna- ment. (This story may be used as a school topic in history.) UNCLE RAY.

ATURE’S CHILDREN HOULD you encountér a thrifty chipmunk: on his way from mar- ket, you may think he has been suffering from toothache or a bad case of mumps. Follow him home and, if you are lucky, you will see him get rid of his “swollen face” in Not that you may enter his well-hidden domicile and actually see him unload his market basket, but you will see him disappear into his home and dart quickly forth again with a very different look on his countenance. In the Autumn, the forehanded chip- munk is gathering nuts for the Winter. He climbs & tree and reaches out care- fully for a nut, makes a quick grab for his prize, and holds it with his little front paw, while with the other one he stretches his cheek pouch to receive it He surpasses the famous French trunk packers, for he can pack a remarkable number of nuts in his cheeks. Having filled the last available space, he goes carefully down the tree and makes a hasty trip to his lodgings The home he fashioned for himself in the side of a well-drained hill has & large living room off the entrance hall Here he has made a soft bed of moss and fine grass, where he sleeps through- | out the long Winter months, rousing only to partake of food. He enters | about the last of November. Should inquisitive young boys or more inquisitive dogs knock too loudly at his front door, he escapes by way of & small back door planned for just such an_emergency. As a pet, the chipmunk is delightful and enjoys the privileges of & com- fortable home and abundant food. He soon learns to eat the food provided for the family table and develops a decided “sweet tooth.” The habits of many generations are deeply set and he can- not overcome the nut-hiding habit Under pillows, rung, and furniture he caches his nuts. ‘The stripes of the chipmunk are very much like those of the tiger and help | to disguise the owner when he moves | about in the grass. His tail is not s long as that of the squirrel, nor so bushy, nor so expressive, Nature had a very wise reason for so fashioning him, for the chipmunk spends much of his time underground and his tal would be & sorry sight, all bedraggled with dirt and filled with burrs and dry weeds. As a singer he does not excel, for | clucking and chaltering are the only | ways in which he can convey his senti- | ments. Having had his say, he will roll up in & bunch, curl his scant tail over his back end dine upon the nut held daintly In his front paws. (Copyright. 19 | folded, packed.

They feel themselves capable of taking care of their own affairs. fact that th own affairs but are still dependent upon father and mother to do that for them does not dawn upon them. They are so possessed by their own desires that everything is blotted out of their minds. That is not their fault. It is| their condition. We who take care of them have to consider their condition. I believe that girls and boys of 15 need chaperones. 1 would send them out under adult supervision or they could stav at home. Children of that | age are at the mercy of forces that they do not lerstand. All our talking cannot make plain whet only expericnce | can teach. They must bLe protect-d | against themselves tactfully, wisely, but surely We ought to begin teaching this self- contr:l to the children when they are little. Sex training ought to begin with the child’s first question and be con- tinued until it is no longer necessary, about full adolescence. The 15-year- olds may have this instruction but it has not functioned. They are too young. Of course, there is no guarantee that the 18-year-olds are abl: to take care, of themselves, but we cannot help that. We mu: e children go and do the best th with life as it comes to them them and there is no guarante> that we could do btter than th-y if we had the opportunity.
