I think so too, in most instances—in fact in all instances except where the actual life of the child itself is at stake. Then I feel that no measures are too drastic to use. 1if the sight of a picture showing the heap of ashes left by little Pauline will keep them from the risk of fire in later life —then I feel that the end definitely Justifies the means. The worst whipping I ever got in my carcer was administered to me by my mother when I was 2—because 1 had persistently and calmly en- deavored to fall out of a fourth-floor window three times, in spite of scold- ings and being told not to. Mother decided the only thing to do was scare me so that I would leave the window alone forever and ever — which she very successfully did. I haven't noticed that such treatment has made me cowardly or inhibited in any way! Use any justifiable means at your command to impress upon your chil dren the danger of fire. Explain, if they are old enough to understand, the inflammability of certain material the amazing persistence and longevity of even small sparks, and the whys and wherefores of spontaneous combustion. If they are still in the unreasoning stage use nursery rhymes and stories, pictures that will fall within the scope of their intelligence, and connect the two up for them with actual matches and flames in the fireplace or the stove. Don't hesitate to make your examples strong and gripping-—too much squeamishness might cost your child its life. * % k% ‘A FTER having dealt with the way to keep from getting burned, it is a good idea to go into the matter of what to do if, due to causes uncon- trolled by the child, it should become the victim of flames. Teach him that no matter how many older peopie are about, no matter how peaceful things appear, the smell of smoke, however | slight, shouid never go uninvestigated. | (The same principle should hold true | in the matter of the odor of gas) | Train his nose to fine scents—olfactory | nerves should be developed in humans for their own protection. Most children nowadays are famil- far from babyhood with the use of the telephone. That is a great pro- tection for them. But be sure that they know enough to ask for the fire department, and to give their address with no panic should a fire break out in their home. It never hurts to have them forearmed in this respect. |to do in as many instances as your imagination can conjure. | * x X X OF COURSE, the adult members of the family must do their utmost to prevent tragedies in the home, and try to take care of all possible causes of conflagration—that goes without | reply. When .E»qIJaIS Or Unequals Are Friends Test of Correctness in | | Various Steps Is ‘ Easily Found. | BY EMILY POST. "DEAR MRS. POST: I have been very much disturbed about a problem, which I find humiliating. It's not that I think I'm too good to be nursemaid to a sweet little girl, but I have never had to take a position that placed me in the back-door cate- gory and something has happened that makes the near future embarrassing in the extreme. “This Summer I met a man who is | a doctor, and very well known in this , | Summer colony where we now are, and | is equally well known in the city where my employers make their home. He | has been coming to the house for me whenever I have been able to go out, but there was a side daor which I was allowed to use. “In the city there are only the front door and the basement door. I cannot expect to take greater privileges than those allowed my fellow employes. and at the same time his position is as good as my employer’s, and I am upset about having to ask him to call for me at the basement door. What can I do? I don't care for myself, but I | hate to ask it of him.” | Answer: If his attentions are serious, he must be able to take your situation with good sense. To be unwillng to go to the door that you are obliged to use, would rather subtract from the likelihood of his serious regard for you. It isn't necessary that he go to the door or into the kitchen for you, every time he comes, and you could | go out and meet him in his car some- | times. But if his coming for you has | anything furtive or embarrassed about | it, you would better say good-by to | him for good—and that quickly. | Of course, I have no way of knowing | anything about any of you, but like in- | evitably drifts to like. If you actually | belong in his class, then he knows it and you know it, and basement doors | are of no importance. But if you are | not his social and mental equal (and | innately you know this definitely, too) The Old Gardener Says: ‘There is no better material for proteeting most garden plants than evergreen boughs, because they do not mat down over the beds like leaves, but permit a free circulation of air. A few small pine boughs scattered over the perennial beds or the bulb beds will often furnish all the protec- tion needed, although the addi- tion of some hardwood leaves or straw or perhaps salt hay thrown loosely on the ground under the boughs will give additional se- | | curity. Evergreen boughs are | | useful in the rose garden, too, and are particularly recommended for protecting tender shrubs, be- cause they break the force of the wind and because they keep the sun from starting them into growth too early in the Spring. (Copyright, 1935.) 'Child Spirit This seems true | lieve that there will always be enough | [ useful work for everybody who is able | |to do it. And it seems to me that | | leisure occupation must be the over- | flow of a full reservoir of power. Not | just the occupation of an idle hour, | but a rich overflowing of a full mind. | How can we teach so as to start children on the way to that sort of a | leisure? We cannot give them talent | or power. The best we can do is to put them in the way of getting such | qualities for themselves. That is the | real aim of all education. | I believe that the spirit of any child | is enriched only when it has the op- | iportumly to draw unto itself what | truly belongs to it. That means that | the schools must offer a broad culture | along with its basic subjects and give the child sufficient freedom of choice | | to find its own among the riches of- | fered. In plain words, give each child his basic course of study so that he masters the tools of education. Place at his disposal the world of experience. | Those that can be brought into school | conveniently should be there. The | child ought to have the chance to go after those that cannot be brought | there. | My idea about it is that children | are individual minds. Given a chance, | an intelligent mind will take what it needs and refuse what it cannot use. I do not mean that children are wise | enough to select their own course of study. That is the duty of the school. But I do mean that apart from the tool subjects which any intelligent child can master, there is a world of experience from which each child se- | lects his own. The right sort of train- ing for leisure permits him to do so under skilled guidance. Thirty children in a class learn their tables, learn to read, write, tell stories, play together. After that? They separate into units. One by one they go their separate ways. One will study a spider intently, one digs in the sand, one sits by himself and | studies & map, one gets out a bit of | crayon and sketches the tree nearby, | one lies on the grass and dreams. | Each has within him a line of power, | which, developed, will give him that | richness of spirit that will overflow in | joyous creative work. There lies his work for leisure time. | Teaching woodworking, basketry, | whatnot, to classes as classes, without | relation to the taste or power of the individual, will never train him for leisure. His spirit will not overflow | because his neighbor’s does. When we | equip schools and supply trsined’ teachers to administer such an edu- | cational scheme we will train not only | for the larger leisure; we will train for the larger usefulness and the richer life. | (Copyright. 1935.) | the ocean and when it ocets chilly in 1435, brother sets sanl for slumber -land in outing_— : Gir= paJamas .

FLOOR coverings are gay this season —they have left the beaten path of conservatism and have claimed new individuality as well as recapturing personality cast off a few decades ago. The all-over pattern, so reminiscent of drapes used in the 90s, has been revived with great success and in the most interesting manner. It is amazing how well these “old num- bers” lend themselves to the modern influence. The patterns are gener- ally small, indefinite, and the colors mostly two-toned, picking up the color used in the background of the rug. We say these rugs should prove to be practical for the average home— they would certainly stand hard wear. Additional advantage lies in the fact that spots, stains and footprints rarely show up. One wonders how the plain carpeting ever achieved such popularity, for it is such an impractical type of floor covering in a home where children romp—at least it would seem so. B HOWEVER, in spite of all its seem- ing impracticability and the many new additions to the rug mart, the plain floor covering continues to hold | its own, and, we venture to say, is leading. It will continue to be the choice of the fastidious and discrimi- nating. The rich new colors in the broad weaves are really sensational. > [linen! It is an all-year-around fabric of crisp and tweedlike texture char- acterizing homespun and is success- fully and beautifully used in the early American plan as well as in period and modern settings. It is hard to realize that linen could be used for such hard wear but manufacturers and merchants claim that this floor | covering has longer life than poor | grade woolen carpeting and that it | becomes more soft and beautiful with use. Aside from its practicability and beauty this fabric is burnproof and mothproof! A lighted match or cigarette can burn itself out on it | and all trace of burn be removed by a brisk brushing without the slightest injury to the surface. Rugs made of this new composition are reversible, the color or pattern being exactly the same on both sides. This, of course, !give§ two wearing surfaces and pro- vides practically double the life of a 1 non-reversible floor covering. Whatever is to be your ultimate choice in the matter of floor covering, | never lose sight of the fact that good l | 1 | rugs are best for a long pull, and that | | a slightly more expensive grade will l usually pay for itself- as the years | roll on. | CTOBER 12, 1935, My Neighbor Says: Evergreen boughs are an excel- lent Winter protection for Ma- donna lilies. They do not mat down and allow air to circulate through them. To fry fish crisp and brown, sprinkle both sides with plenty of flour and plunge into boiling fat. Fat must be boiling and there must be plenty of fat. Keep a dozen or more cans of soups, meats and fruits on your pantry shelves. You need then have no fear of the arrival of an unexpected guest. Always keep honey in a dark place. If kept in & bright light it is likely to soon granulate. (Copyrizht, 1935.)

Answer—TI think that explanation of the difference between old maid and old bachelor on their outlook on mar- riage is a hangover from the days when it was considered a reflection, if not an actual disgrace for a woman not to achieve a husband. In those sad days matrimony was the only gainful occupation open to ° women. A husband then was not only a meal ticket, but a woman’s emanci= pation proclamation and her admission ticket'to society and the good things of life generally, so it was obvious that every girl would marry if she could. Hence for one to be passed over and become an old maid was generally re- garded as proof positive that she was lacking in charm and attractiveness.

Some of these much-lauded rugs, occasionally, seem too stereotyped for real beauty. In the effort to commercialize old pat- terns much of the individuality gen- erally expected in this type of rug has been lost. A hooked rug to our mind should be as individual and interesting in pattern and color as the highly esteemed Oriental. To compare some of the modern and new hooked rugs to those made in the Colonial days is just as futile as trying to convince the average person that a printed tapestry is just as beautiful and handsome as a hand-woven one by Mercier. * % X X MONG the newer textures and weaves we find that tufted or embossed surfaces are going over in a big way. The pile often remains high in the design while the back- ground is clipped short. Some- of these floor coverings look almost like mammoth candlewick bedspreads, but they are very handsome and effective in the modern setting. Most of them are richly fringed on all four sides and this combined with the shaggy surface is a happy and dramatic re- lief from the usual. These rugs are generally (note we say ‘“generally”) designed, hand tufted and sculptured, and made in pattern to the specifica- tions of the architect or decorator so that each creation is a chef d’ oeuvre, made for its own particular setting. * %k % % ONE of the very newest domestic foor coverings is made of flax or They are much more rea- | BY EDITH M.

Sometimes it | is angel food, sometimes it is devil's | | food and often it is a standard cake | with white frosting, which may be | ;sprinkled with coconut or perhaps it | | will have a luscious chocolate filling. By the way, all of these cakes are fairly modern. In my old cook books I find that almost every cake recipe | | gives a variation of the pound cake, | | which depends upon liberal use of but- | ter and eggs for its texture. In my old cook book I also find | | recipes which depend upon sour milk | |and soda for leavening. These are | very often full of spices. You see, baking powder, or as it used to be known, yeast powde., is a compara- tively modern household staple. While angel food has not a very long history, sponge cake is older. Sometimes we | find melted butter added at the last moment to a sponge batter. This recipe is still used a great deal for the fancy cakes such as are passed on a tray for our choice when we order French pastry. | Most cakes, with the exception of the pound and the fruit cake types, | should deserve the adjective fresh, which, when attached to the word cake, is always enticing. I have found that it is possible to put my batter into two cake pans, to bake one cake for use at the moment and to put the other pan in the refrigerator, where it remains until I am ready for a fresh cake.

All bulk appears above the waistline this season! Neck- lines are high, and often bunchy, with drapery or scarfs, or bows. Sleeves are full, blouses soft and sometimes definitely bloused. Sometimes tucks or shirring give the appearance of this smart top-heavy silhouette, but it is subtly done, so that the lines are good. Hips are smooth and whatever fullness there may be is so manipu- lated that the lines of the figure are pretty clearly revealed. There may be godets or fullness in back or front, or inserts to give a slight flare at the bottom of the skirt, but the whole matter of skirts is minimized so that the upper part of the figure gets all the attention.
