[ BETWEEN YOU AND ME | YOU AND ME | Help Every ae Teisy Child To Have a Home Welfare Agencies Ask Every Childless Fam- ily to Help to Give Some Child the - Right Influences. By Sophie Irene Loeb. Copyright, 1922 (New York Evening World), ty Press Publishing Co. A strong appeal is being sent out by various agencies who are trying to place homeless children. In the home of modest means they will pay for the board of these children, and there re also children that can be adopted. There are many fine people working day and night to secure good homes for children as against institutions, their campaign cry being, “A normal child in a normal home ‘The words of one of the children tell the tale 66] WANT to live with a lady very much disappointed in you, Mor- and a man as if they were "IK, _I thought you could. do better. iy Patten ana tnettier: 1 ‘That's all right," said Morris WHY rent yp 700 Hom fe BREW ?, ty school they mark different. A is used to feel so ashamed when vis- for awful, B is for bum, C is for cork- Ing, and D is for dandy.” Oh, yes," the every-day lives of these every-day children are replete with tragedy and comedy. And what more can I add to the appeals that are being made daily by these pur- poseful people? As President of the Board of Chila Welfare of this city, I can safely say there is no more noble work than for some good woman to take a little soul into her heart and home. These homes need not be of the best or of the richest, because after ai\, a home ba it ever so humble, if it is honest and kind, 1s better than the best institution. Under our care there are now 27,000 children happy in the homes of their 7,500 widowed mothers. And volumes uld be written about what this keeping these homes and together against breaking itors came to the home and looked us over as if there was some- thing queer about us, 80 many in one place. It is so different to live with a family, to go to public school and be a part of the big crowd of school children, to see my father very often, to go to see all my aunts and uncles like others do, to play with the chil- dren next door and the children on the block and where I do not have to feel that maybe there is something wrong about me." Every effort {s being made to an- swer this cry of the homeless child. In the work thus far accomplished there are now several hundred foster- mothers, and a book could be writ- ten about the joy these foster-mothers get in having these little ones in their homes. Of course there is the great care of them, but the happiness that results far outweighs the burden. The De- partment of Public Welfare of New York City sends many children to these agencies because of destitution, or because either or both parents are ‘Mor dead and the home must be broken up. It is doubtless tho big clearing house in the city, for this purpose. Among the organizations that have become home finders for children are the Catholic Home Bureau, the Baby, Welfare League and the Hebrew Guardian and Sheltering Society. The last named organization has found a unique way of securing good homes. It is appealing to the foster mothers that ure already, caring for children, Mary E. Boretz, head of this Home Bureau, is issuing a monthly, bulletin to these mothers. Volume No. 1 talks to these foster mothers this way: We are going to publish this pa- per every month, not only to help us get more homes but to keep our foster mothers in touch with our work. We realize that you, our foster mothers, are more than the caretakers of eur children. You are in every sense the fellow- workers of the office staff, and we know that you will want to be in- formed of the progress of our work—your work—and will be proud of its standards, which you have helped to raise. If you have any stories to tell, any informa~ tion to give, any recipe for mak- ing a good boy out of a bad one, send it in with your visitor. Our directors want us this year to place as many children as po sible in homes. They want us to prove that there are 500 more homes in New York that would be willing to take children. We will always have to have institutions unjess a large group of responsible mothers answer the call of the children. We believe that there are plenty of such homes. We sfeel certain that we can prove to our directors that we can place every normal child in a family home. Help us prove it! And every little one has a story many of them full of pathos and yet not without their comedy.

Do not mistake, gentle reader, There are many excellent people car- ing for the children in institutions, doing the very dest they can with what they have, but the majority of them long to see the day when there will not be a child in an institution except a disabled ono under special care. And who can help them toward this noble end? The answer is this. No good home should be childless. Do your part in helping every child to have a home, Why Not Look Your Best? By Doris Doscher.

The best preventive of colds is to increuse the circulation by proper ex- ercises. A warm bath followed by a shower of a little cooler temperature and then a brisk rub down of the en- tire body, bathing the neck and chest especially with ice cold water before going out of doors, will help. Deep breathing while outdoors will keep you warmer then heavier clothes would.

Spring sunshine does more than make the flowers bloom. It also reveals a surprising number of scratches, cracks, dents and unexpected worn spots in the furniture or walls and discloses with pitiless glare the dinginess which winter concealed. Time to brighten up the corners, indeed, and that with the aid of a can of ready-mixed paint and a trusty brush! If spring is about to show her colors and paint outdoors in vivid hues, it is up to us to match her skill and make indoors reflect her gayety. as progressed to t durance the chances are her husband p having changed a too talkative sweet, sympathetic little listener. ometimes a cal says “Miau! mia ce last week, and thie even hers¢ y smell cooking; But in the home, before 10 o'elc and I have my dot If you would about him to his be Maxims of a Modern Maid Marguerite Mooers Marshal Kissing a girl with rouged lips makes both participants year for the smile that won't come off HEN a wite's be yolnt of 4 tes himself tid nggre female inte used to be wae ge if a woman's valiant pretense m P you can leave the ell behind Hkmaid, er r eat your sharpest ep guessing” ix that be may give Going Down! neans so much to u AUPALE A, SMITH J . —— Difficultie of English din’s lamp in the hands of the with a stiff brush, some cleanser and A CAN of paint is a veritable Alad« a good scouring of the old surface housewife.

The low- er metal body of the buggy and the wheels will gain a spic and span ap- pearance if given two applications of a black paint especially prepared for metal use. The wise and thrifty housewife either oils or paints all metal surfaces before putting them in summer stor- age. If the stovepipe scems dejected, sad and rusty, put on your working gloves and paint it a glossy black with the ald of a can of the same metal paint. Or the stove itself may be so treated, thus removing rust, covering up uneven surfaces and making them more sightly. This same metal paint comes in an aluminum, a bronze and other finish One daring housewife used an en- tire can of aluminum paint in silver- ing her garbage pail! The result was not only @ joy to the eye but had the practical purpose of increasing resist- ance to rust, thus lengthening the life of the can. Many parts of metal such as on a sewing machine, the stove legs, fire screens, shoe scrapers, coal scuttles, &¢., can easily be made té glisten by the use of either gold or silver metal paint. Summer screens before being put up again should be given a generous coy- ering of this same black metal paint, so that they will not rot and rust so easily. Of course radiators need a new dress each spring, Tuck ample old cloths under the radiator to prevent spotting the floor, use a smail brush and you can do the job as well as a first class painter. All woods are naturally porous and absorb grease or water readily, When water enters the pores it causes ther to swell and causes the surface to bes come rough, splintery and disfigured, Therefore the more impervious we cat make any wood surface, the easier it is to keep it clean and the longer the wood will last. Paint, varnish and stain, the basis of which should al+ ways be the best quality linseed oil fill the pores, protect the wood and make its care simple, since any paint+ ed surface may be easily and quicki¥ wiped with a damp, soft cloth.
