The light in the shining surfaces decidely in- creases daytime brightness or evening illumination. The view of beaut terest captured frem the out-of reflected in mirrors can double the at- tractiveness of interiors. Incidentaliv these glimpses have the eflect of increasing the size of a room. They “knock out the walls,” to use a term common in interior decoration phrases. We all know that space is se- cured when partitions are torn down, or when windows break the confining area of blank walls. When mirrors are used for this effect, it is secured most | successfully through reflections of the | wide areas seen through windows, s through open doorways into rooms, or | pleasing aspects of the same room in which the looking glass hangs, can fur- nish such breadth of viston that space is simulated. In one dining room where windows are in but one side wall, a mirror is so positioned that it gives back the rays from one of the two windows in this bow-end of the room.

Without this mirror the wall was dull and uninteresting. Now it teems with interest ana glowing reflections A mirror in one hall comes to mind which makes the rather narrow en- trance seem almost spacious. This is because the glass is so positioned that it reflects vistas oppesite it of two rooms from doorways opening into music room and living room. From the windows in walls of these rooms, which come within the scope of this 30x30-inch mirror, Te- flections are caught of tree tops and sky, giving an impression of space which is remarkable. No one considers the hall anything but good-sized Wwho catches such refractions. The home decorator should not only be careful to have the vision broadened | through use of mirrors, but, reversely, she should guard against reflections of side walls which may seem to be drawn closer thereby. Also she must study re- flections with the purpose of making them beautify the interiors. Often, | what would seem to be a fine position | for a mirror proves just the opposite because what comes within the range | | of the refiections is not the most attrac- | tive portion of a room. Sometimes this | | portion can be rearranged to supply the |lack of beauty. Sometimes it cannot. |If not, the positioning of the mirror | should be abandored in that %l:ce and | another selected where both light and beauty may be combined and increased space simulated.

HERE cornels arch their cool, dark bough o'er beds of wintergreen.” New England children call the partridge berries “youngsters,” and chew them. Grown folks are not above chewing the tender yellow-green leaves, with their dis- tinctly wintergreen flavor. In some sectiong of rural New England tea is still br&wed from the leaves, and the decoction is said to be delicious. 13 Under evergreens in the cool woods | you will find the creeping wintergreen, or mountain tea, and some folks call it the spice berry. Take our choice. The | just as fragrant and the Names are often leaves are berries just as red. misleading. Little rounded, bell-shaped flowers, hanging from their stem in June and often as late as September, are ripen- ing for their many visitors who are bound to come when the snow flies. The leaves are now leathery, evergreen and saw-edged, still very aromatic. They are together in clusters at the top of the branches. The bright red | berries, mealy and spicy, are ripe by | October. As the snow approaches the forest | floor, the leaves are a bronze green, & carpet worth traveling far to see. of grouse, numberless birds and even deer and bear travel for miles to find the wintergreen hostess who served them with delicious fruit the year before., The spicy flavor of the leaves, and the spicy mealy fruit has been the only food for forest folks during a very hard Winter. For this reason, the plant grows under evergreens. Under the green tent the berries are there for the taking. The fruit hangs on until late Spring, the guests depart for their Summer homes and the little plant gets ready to bloom again. From Newfound- land to Georgia, westward to Michigan and Manitoba, the partridge residences and feeding the hungry. With little effort you can have these berries growing under your own ever- greens. The plant should be taken up with plenty of soil packed about it and planted in a cool shady spot under a tree. In a short time you will have fruit which will attract birds to vour door and give you an opportunity to get better acquainted with them. (Copyright. 1932.) MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST.

D do you think? WONDERNG ‘WIVES. EAR MISS DIX—My sister and I believe that a man and woman have equal rights in marriage. ‘ Our husbands deny this. Our husbands believe that a husband should rule his wife and that she Answer: I think that your husbands merely hold the prevailing view to which every man from the time of Adam has subscribed. And they have always arrogated to themselves rights which they denied women. SO you and your sister are wasting your breath in arguing the rights of women in marriage. Every wife soon finds out that she hasn't any rights that her husband feels bound to respect, but that she has a lot of privileges on which she can cash in. Every wife, for instance, who runs a big establishment for a rich husband and keeps up his social connection for him and does his entertaining or who does the cooking and washing and cleaning and baby-tending for a poor husband has a right to her share of the family income, but she can't collect it. Thousands of men refuse to give their wives allowances, but they will let their wives run up bills far in excess of any amount the wives would have thought of asking as an allowance. As for men thinking they have a right to be the head of the house and that their wives should obey them, that is merely a pleasing illusion with which they amuse themselves in their hours of leisure. The only time a man is the head of the house in on the first of the month when the bills come in or when his wife wants to pass the buck and tells that the reason she doesn't do something that she doesn’t want to do_ is because her husband won't iet her do it. The balance of the time she is IT. And as for women obeying their husbands, that's a joke. It is one of the things that simply aren’t done. A DOROTHY DIX. EAR DOROTHY DIX—I was interested in the letter from the girl who resents her boy friend not telling her he loves her because he is in no position to marry her and won't be for years to come. I take my hat off to any fellow who can keep his mouth shut under such conditions. I only wish I could and had. 1 am in love with a girl and have told her so often and long. I have ocne more year in college, three years in a pro- fessional school ahead of me. Then to get established will take years longer, and I feel that I have dore this girl the greatest injustice in the world because I have nothing but love and dreams to offer her. I don't even know whether my love will endure through all these years of waiting. I think » great many girls are to blame for their unhappiness in later years because they forced engagements when the fellows themselves knew it was better to remain just friends during their school years. If a man really loves a girl he will talk when the right time comes. If he doesn’t, she should thank her lucky stars that he kept silent. What do you think about it, Miss Dix? PHIL. Answer: I think you are just exactly right, Phil. You are telling the girls something that I have tried to tell them over and over again, and I hope they will listen to a warning from a man who speaks out of his own experience. F course, it is perfectly natural for every girl who is in love with a man to want him to tell her so and assure her that he cannot live without her and that she is the most beautiful and wonderful creature in the world. It flatters her vanity. It increases her sense cf importance. It realizes her romance, and girls just naturally crave sentiment as they do chocolate creams, anyway. And it is perfectly natural when a boy is in love with a girl for him to want to tell her so and quote poetry to her and generally play the part of the heavy lover. Every man fancies his own love-making and believes himself a Romeo. And therein the danger lies, for the foolish young creatures don't let it go at a little petting and a lot of talk. Before they know it they have, as an old colored friend of mine expresses it, tied a knot with their tongues they can't untie with their teeth. They have bound themselves up ‘gw ?’luz of promises that not infrequently hamper them the balance of their lives. OR the boys are in no position to marry, and if they have a grain of sense or prudence cr even honor they do not marry and dump their wives on the family to support. Often they have years of going to school still ahead of them and then other years of getting Establhged in business or their professions, and in these years they change and develop and out- grow their calf love nine times out of ten and then they have either to default on an engagement or wreck their lives by marrying the woman for whom they no longer care. And the girl is equally unfortunate because she spends her life in weary waiting for a man who either never comes back to her or comes back as an unwilling bridegroom. Every college town is full of what they call “college widows.” Pathetic women who are victims of a youthful love dream and who threw away the chances of marrying and settling them- selves on the chance that some schoolboy would come back and redeem his promise after he was a man.” DOROTHY DIX. e DEAR. MISS DIX—Who do you think have the greater willpower, men or women? KAY. Answer: Will power is a matter of the individual, not of sex. There are strong men and weak women and vice versa. When it comes to holding & big purpose and carrying on in the face of discouragement, I think that men have more will-power than women. At least they have ‘more courage and do not give up so easily as women do when the sledding gets hard. But when it comes to little petty things and especially about having their own way, women have more determination than men. I have known a woman to spend forty years in worrying a man into giving up smoking.

It is composed of 16 | closely-written pages, and comes | from a 17-year-old girl who tells me, | “as a secret.” that she is not attend- |ing school this year. I shall not give away the secret by mentioning her name, but I want to tell you some of the other things about her letter. Several pages are made up of an imaginary talk between the writer “and Uncle Ray.” At one point in this talk, she fancies herself saying: “If 1 hadn't found out about the Corner, I'd never have found out how pencils and ink are made, or about the wonders of the sky. I almost be- lieve it has done me more good than going to school. Those are friendly statements, but 1 shall now give an answer to them: { “I am glad you feel that the Cor- | ner has done you good, but I'am sorry | that you are not going to school this | year. The little storles we have to- gether each day eannot take the place of school training, much as I want them to help those who read them. I should like to see every bright-minded boy and girl finish high school and attend a university.” I realize that money troubles some- times prevent excellent students from going to college; but it ought not to be_so.

As Nancy attended various club meet- j ings in the member’s homes she gath- | ered all sorts of ideas for interior dec-\ orating. Many of the modern homes are hav- | ing built-in shelves in the living and in the dining room. | Sometimes a solid mass of books in the shelf space looks too heavy. Then iy | too, sometimes, one has a collection of | | some sort which one wants to show. | Grace solved her problem in this way. | “You know, Nancy, I could not de- | cide what to do with my paper weights. | I put them on the bottom shelf in the built-in space, but they locked too | weak and light with all the heavy books on the shelves above. And I had to| put them on the botfom shelf to catch | the light.” | “Finally T ror glass. I it cut and beveled to | fit right into the back of the shelf. | Then I put the weights on a piece of | creamy wool damask and lo, there I| was with a beautiful display of glass. | | The mirror catches the light, reflects and refracts it as it falls on the glass | paper weights.” Vera had a different problem. Her | built-in book shelves were rounded at the top.

There is no luck some people sy, t way. But others do not think that way. OU couldn't tell Buster Bear that there is no such thing as luck. No, sir, you couldn’t make him believe that. He would tell you that he knows better. He would say that he has had both good luck and bad luck too often not to believe in it. For instance, there was the pleasant surprise he got after leaving the beach- nut tree in the Green Forest. He had shuffied off somewhat aimlessly, chuc- | kling at the fright he had just given | Chatterer the Red Squirrel. He wasn't bound for any place in particular. Not far from the place he had left he spied an old stump. Old stumps alwer:s interest Buster. Sometimes there are they arz much rotted, there are grubs in them. Buster likes both. Then, too, | he likes the fun of hooking his great open if for no more than to prove how strong he is. So now when he spled this old stump he turned toward it almost without realizing that he was doing so. When he got near enough he ovel a small hole near the top. It was plenty big enough for a mouse to enter. In fact it was a little bigger than a mouse | would need. Buster’s eyes brightened. | “There may be a mouse in there,” thought he. | He walked over and sniffed around | that hole. He didn't smell mouse but | he did smell squirrel. “Humph!” mut-! tered Buster. “I wonder if that impu- dent red rascal back there is living here. 1 didn’t think he was living in this part | has been here this very day. Perhaps he was looking for beetles or grubs. that case there are none in there for me. It is hardly worth while to take the trouble to open it.” He sat down and began to weave his head from side to side, a way he has of doing. He felt lazy—too lazy to bother to tear open that old stump. =Finally he started on his way, but after a few steps changed his mind and returned to that old st\lm[i “It loofs pretty rotten. It won't be much of a job to rip it open. Chat- terer might have overlooked a grub or two,” thought he. Still he hesitated and almost changed his mind again. Buster is that way. Finally he lazily hooked a couple of claws in at that little round hole and pulled. A splinter of the old stump | came away. He tried again. This time a large piece was pulled out. Some- thing dropped at his feet. It was & little three-sided brown beechnut. “Now where did that come from?” muttered Buster. Once more he hooked his claws in the old stump and gave & mighty tug. The whole side of the stump came away so suddenly that Buster almost fell over backward.

They went the ‘way of the others. ‘When at last he had made sure that no more nuts were left, for he had pull- ed the old stump to pieces, he heaved a great sigh of sheer satisfaction. Not until then did he begin to wonder how those nuts hlgpened to be there. Then he began to chuckle. “It must have been one of Chatterer’s storehouses,” thought he. “Yes, sir, that is just what it was. And there I was this very afternoon wishing I could find one of his storehouses, but without the least idea where to look. This is my lucky day. It certainly is my lucky day. It is just too bad for Chatterer, but his loss is my gain, Probably the greedy rascal has more storehouses and won't miss these nuts at all.” (Copyright, 1932.) OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRL Don't Laugh. HILDREN take themselves and their ways seriously. Thought and effort go into their work and play. The results of their efforts look good to them. The lopsided box, the crooked sheet of paper, the primitive sketches are perfect in their eyes. When you point to them with the finger of scorn, when you laugh at them, you hurt the creator of these works to the heart. He put all he had into them and you poke fun at it. All artists, all craftsmen, work to the material the idea is complete. The worker sees only that vision. Not until his hands are lifted and the work set apart does he realize the span that lies between his vision and his work. Grad- ually as his fervor cools the realization of imperfection dawns upon him. An- other vision is born and another work is started. It will be started if his spirit is not crushed. It will not be su}r;‘.cd if ridicule kills the creative spirit. ‘Teachers and parents often fail to get this point of view, which is the child’s very own. To the teacher every error stands out like a sore thumb. The crooked line, the feeble phrase, the dis- torted form strike on his trained eye like well aimed pebbles.
