AUraetive Lamp Shade Handwork
BY LYDIA I.E BARON WALKER.

THE FLOWERING PLANT PATTERN HAS MANY COLORFUL POSSI
BILITIES FOR USE ON LAMP SHADES AND ELSEWHERE.
Handwork put on lamp shades Is as
suredly not “hid under a bushel. '
Such handwork is where every one
within the room may see it and where
attention is once attracted to it. It
might be said truthfully that if a per
son had a very litje amount as leisure
t« devote to needlework, it could no
where he used with more conspicuous
effect than on a lamp shade.
So today I am going to tell you of a
wis - * investment of time from the
standpoint of the amount of beauty
yielded. A lamp shade with panels em
broidered in a dainty cross-stitch de
sign of a diminutive flowering plant *s
an exquisite accessory de lux- which
can be made by any needlewoman.
Appropriate Use.
Such a lamp shade for bedroom or
boudoir should be executed in delicate
shades. The materials recommended
are marquisette embroidered in silk.
This combination is different and dis
tincti and makes up very success
fully ovt a lining of china silk.
Select the color you wish to have pre
dominant when the lamp is unlit for
the tone of your marquisette, and be
fore purchasing the silk for the lining
lay a sample of the marquisette over
the lining and hold against the light.
Beautiful Effect.
A beautiful effect can be obtained by
embroidering the flowering plant de
sign in colors on gray marquisette and
placing over a rose-colored lining. The
design embroidered shows up to Its full
loveliness in the dayime, whereas the
light shed at night brings U into sil
houette against a favorite color.

Saving Tears.
You know, women, (can nro om
i .t effective weapon. Wo can do
with tears than Lavid did with
Ilia sling.
The hardest man will crumple up
rn . give in when wo turn on the girl
ish sobs. It's sure-fire stuff—lf it's a
novelty.
Tears should always be the last re
sort though—and t.iey should not be
used more often than one a year at
the outside—or they will become »«
matter of routine and not of concern
to the young man for w l m>. . benefit
they’re exit Joyed.
It Is thoroughly absurd and very
unwise to waste your tears on the
most trivial everyday annoyances.
No man Is going to be tilled with
remorse and penitence at the sight as
tears .vhieh lie has come to recognize
a; part of everyday's program.
lie just says to himself: “Oh. Lord,
she's at it again.’ and patiently waits
for you to come out of the mist.
The first time Olai broke down ;
and wept because Dere.t was o lift j
kind to her, he nearly *’ept h'.mr.Tf *ti !
hie penitent desire to make amends |
t > her.
There was a beautiful reconciliation
scene, and Clara got her own way. She
did pretty well the ne. t two or three
times, too —and she began to figure
t> at sot>s brought success.
Thereupon she trained her lips to
quiver at the slightest provocation and
was 'onfldentlv planning on a future
in which she’d have Derek nicely
under her thumb simply by means of
her cry-baby spells.
However, one sunny afternoon, when
Derek didn’t want to go out to the
country club and she did. her pitiful
sobs were interrupted by her hov
friend’s voice, angry and contemptu
ous: "Oh. for Heaven's Clara,
st >t> crying. It seems to me that’s nil
you've been doing lately. I won't go
oir to the club —and that’s all there is
to it.”
He remained sulky and In lifferenl
throughout the day. Clara learned, as
many another damsel has before her
that she’d have to change her meth
ods if she were to hold her little play
mate.
It's terribly unfair to use your
womanly tears as a weapon against
a man.
And it’s terribly unwise to use them
often. Once they lose their novelty
they’re ineffective and annoying to
any one.
I've known ridiculous kids who have
told me that they actually burst into
tears just to see what effect their be
havior would have on their men
friends.
And a good many of them found
that the effect was far from desirable.
No boy in the world wants a cry
baby about him. He may think you're
awfully sweet and appealing and piti
ful when the act is first tried out on
hiri—but he gets over that idea al
most Immediately.
You'll find that fair argument with
a boy will bring you more success in
tha end than any amount of false sor
row.
Save your tears for the time when
you literally have to shed them—and
you’ll get real sympathy and under
standing when that time comes.

HOME NOTES
BY 4EXNY WHEN.
Many uses suggest themselves for
this handy one-legged table meant to
be propped up on the arms of an easy
chair. The one leg is adjustable as
to length, so that it can be used with
any chair.
For a game of solitaire, for writing
or reading it is invaluable. The nee
dlewoman could assemble all the tools
of her craft upon It. The semi-invalid
confined to a chair would find a thou
sand uses for it. The youngster
with home work to do, with paper
dolls to cut or scrapbooks to make
would like it, too. Or if one has to
eat a solitary meal it could be ar
ranged on this table and easily car
ried to porch or lawn.
It is of light, strong wood and very
attractive in appearance. May be had
in black, blue, green or red lacquer
with contrasting stripe.

Old <l/ nidf J jj o! Mind.
/As Long as a Woman Remains Adaptable, Doesn’t
‘ Acquire “Ways,” or Want to Reform Every
; One, She’s Not an Old Maid.
A CORRESPONDENT asks: “When Is a girl an old maid?”
[ Thom is no specific deadline between flnppcrdom and spinuterhood
' Being nn old maid Is a state or mind and not a chronological fact. There are
1 women who are old maids while still in the cradle and other women who are
stiil girls in ila ir go's. There arc women who are old maids in spite of
having Imd three husbands and a half a dozen children, and other women
who have never been married and yet are not old maids.
Now In grandmother’s time, when in was thought a ripe age for
matrimony, a woman was considered to bo an old maid If she had not caught
, a husband by the time she was 21 or 22. As girls began to go to college the
period of old maidenhood was pushed back to around the 30's.
But nowadays, when almost every girl goes into business, dr follows
some sort of a career, the time at which a woman becomes an old maid is a
mere mutter of speculation.
It cannot be definitely located, but a statistician would probably ( .laee
i | it at about her sixtieth birthday.
; | However, in the sense in which our forbears knew them, there are now
jno more old mads. There are merely women who, for one reason or another,
i have not elected to marry. The very term ‘‘old maid’’ has become so archaic
that you seldom hear It used.
There are plenty of gracious and charming unmarried women whose
houses we visit. There are plenty of woman buyers and heads of departments
> and private secretaries and actresses and writers and educators who will
neyer see their thirtieth or their fortieth birthday again and who have no
husbands. But nobody thinks of calling them old maids. Just as nobody
thinks of their age. Such matters are between the individual and the Vital
Statistics Bureau, and of no concern to the general public.
* * * *
IN the past a woman became an old maid when she gave up hope, and that
* was early, because the men picked them young. A girl’s marrying time
did not outlast her complexion, so if she were going to get a husband she
had to make her matrimonial hay while the sun of her beauty shone.
But nowadays men’s tastes have become more sophisticated.
They find, after they have become mature themselves, that they have
lost their taste for bread-and-butter misses, and that the woman who has
had time to read and study and think, and grow broad and wise and mellow
with experience, is a far more fascinating companion than the little girl
who can only jiggle about and giggle and chatter. So today a woman’s
chances of marrying are quite as good in her 30 s as they were in her 20's.
The old maid of the past was nosey. Having no business of her own,
she attended to everybody else s. Her finger was In every pie. Her unsolicited
, advice ran everybody with whom she lived nearly crazy.
The unmarried woman of today is so interested in herself and so occupied
with her own affairs she hasn’t a minute to give to any one else.
If she has money, she sets up an establishment and entertains lavishly
, and no invitations are more sought after than hers. Or she goes in for
philanthropy and uses up her superfluous energy running charities. Or she
. turns globe-trotter and you can meet her anywhere from Timbuctoo to Bird
, Center having the time of her life, and steeped in statistics and romance and
medieval history and the timetables of the world.
If she Is poor, she does not hang herself like a millstone around the
neck of her family and force them to support poor old Aunt Jane or dependent
Cousin Hally. Hhe hustles out and gets a job and oftener than not Is the one
who helps out her poor married sisters and incompetent brothers and sends
their children to school..
* * * *
THE old maid of the past was bitter and sour because she was humiliated
at being passed over by men in a day w r hen every woman married if she
possibly could. She was a scandal monger because she was envious of those
women she esteemed more fortunate than herself.
But the unmarried woman of today is jolly and cheerful and regards her
married sisters oftener with pity than with envy.
She did not marry because the right man did not come along and she
would not take one that did not measure up to her ideal. Or because she
preferred her job to a husband. Or because she was just one of the women
born celibate and to whom matrimony never appealed.
And, anyway, she has found the world so full of a number of things
besides husbands that she has been as happy as a queen and has a heart over
flowing with kindness toward her fellow creatures, instead of spleen.
So the old maid of tradition is as extinct as the dodo, and no modern
young girl need be afraid .of becoming one simply because she does not get
married. If. however, she has a morbid fear of becoming one, let her watch
her mental reactions and not the almanac.
She will never be an old maid until she acquires ‘'ways,” and begins
to want to reform everything and thinks the worst of all young girls, and
makes a fool of herself over a pet cat or dog.
As long as a woman is adaptable and can change her point of view, and
doesn't have to have everything done according to her own little particular
whim, she isn t an old maid, no matter if she is a hundred, and never had
even a proposal. DOROTHY DIX.

Spotted Stranger Is Caught.
Os one thing you may be quite mire.
One ne'er can tell when he’s secure.
—Sammy Jay.
That was a day never to be forgot
ten in the Greed Forest—the day that
the stranger was hunted to a cave in
a ledge deep in the Green Forest.
Never had any of the little Green For
est people seen so many hunters to
gether at one time; never had they
been so filled with sea the worst
of if was they had no means of know
ing what It was all about. They
couldn’t understand it. It was Sammy
Jay who first began to get an idea of
what was going on. You see, it was
Sammy who first saw the stranger.
ALL HE COULD DO WAS TO RE
MAIN WHERE HE COULD
WAT C II ALL THAT TOOK
PLACE.
It was Sammy who saw the stranger
go into the little cave in the ledges,
and it was Sammy who did his best
to tell the hunters all about it by
screaming at the top of his lungs.
Sammy watched Farmer Brown’s
Boy. Farmer Brown and all the hunt
ers gather around the entrance to the
little cave where the stranger was
hidden, and how he did wish he could
understand what they were saying.
But he couldn’t. All he could do was
to remain where he could watch all
that took place. After a while some
of the hunters disappeared, the rest
remaining. Those that left were gone
a long time. By and by Sammy heard
the hunters coming back. He heard
the sound of wheels and horses. He
flew over to where he could look down
an old wood road. A pair of horses
was coming up the old wood road
drawing a cage on wheels. It was a •
cage that could be taken off; it was
a cage made of big iron bars. It was
brought as near as possible on the
old wood road and then it was hauled
across and finally put in position in
front of that little cave. The end to
ward the cave was open. Then the
men with logs arid branches fixed
things so that it was impossible for
any one in that cave to come out j
without going into the cage. A slid- j
ing door was left at the entrance to i
the cage, so fixed that it could be j
dropped Instantly.
Sammy was so excited that he ,lust
had to scream now and then. This !
brought his cousin, Blacky the Crow,
and from a safe distance Blacky
watched. Blacky’s eyes are so sharp
that he can see clearly ail that is
going on at a distance. So from the
top of a tree, where he felt quite sate.
Blacky watched. Tommy Tit the
Chickadee also watched, for Tommy
isn’t afraid of anybody. From high
up overhead Ol’ Mistah Buzzard,
circling around and around, looked
down with those marvelous eyes or
his and didn’t miss a thing. But
these were the only ones of the for
est folk who* saw what went on there
at the ledges deep in the Green For
est. finally all but two of the hunt
ers and Fanner Brown’s Boy left the
Green Forest. These two hunters and
Farmer Brown’s Boy remained hid
den. They took very great care to
hide where they could not be seen
from the little cave In the ledges, and
where the wind would not take the
scent of them there.
All became as quiet as It had
previously been noisy. Jolly, round,
bright Mr. Sun started down for the
Purple Hills. Lower and lower he
sank toward those Purple Hills, be
hind which he would go to bed. The
Black Shadows came creeping through
the Green Forest. Sammy Jay and
Blacky the Crow and Tommy Tit and
Old Mr. Buzzard could no longer keep
watch. You know they cannot see In
the darkness as can Hooty the Owl.
So It was Hooty who took their place,
and he was quite as curious as they
had been.
The twinkling stars came out. The
light from Mistress Moon fell full on
the ledges. Still, for a long, long time
nothing happened. Then suddenly
one of those hidden hunters pulled a
string. A heavy door fell. Hooty,
leaning forward with great round
eyes, staring with all his might, saw
the stranger leaping against Iron bars
and heard him snarl. Then, to Hooty’s
great surprise, Farmer Brown’s Boy
and two men appeared. Hooty flew
away.
“We’ve got him!” cried Farmer
Brown’s Boy.
, “Yes, son, we’ve got him,” said one
of the men, “We’ll leave him here
’til morning. Now you show us the
way out of the Green Forest.” And
this Farmer Brown’s Boy did.

! Sunday Night
I have been waked i>p by alarm
clocks and bugles and several other
unpleasant things. Including Joan
pouring ice water on me. but I would
rather he waked up by all of them at
once than the way I was waked
up this morning, on account of it was
th n baby coughing, and he had whoop
ing cough.
Joan sat up In bed and looked at
him, and he was having one terrible
lime, and she said, “Whooping cough!
The poor little thing!" and I recog
nized it, too. on account of I have had
whooping cough myself, and just try
to forget it.
So I hopped out of bpd and galloped
to the telephone and called the doctor,
and ho saved Joan and me from going
cuckoo, I guess, by arriving in 15
minutes, on account of until he got
there we Just stood looking at the
baby and feeling worse than he did
1 every time he whooped, arid the doc
tor said yen, to he sure, it is whooping
cough all right, but don’t worry.
Last week when the baby was de
1 veloping his cough the doctor said to
hope that he was not getting whoop
-1 ing cough, and it cost mo $5 every
time he came and told us to hope, and
now he says not to worry and I owe
him another $5 for telling us, and I
' ought to get a refund from last week
! on account of it did not do us any
I good to hope.
I Joan said, "Doctor, what about giv
ing him the whooping cough serum
treatments?” and he said, “Sure
i thing. I will be out tomorrow and
: give him the first.," and he will stick
! a hypodermic needle into that poor
i little baby’s poor little leg, and I
should think scientists would quit
horsing around with atoms long
I enough to invent a whooping cough
> treatment that you could take in pills
i or something, and do some real good
In the world.
• So the doctor said don’t worry
and he went on to a golf game or to
iell somebody else to hope or not to
■ worry or something, and I said, “Well,
! the next question is w’here did the
i baby get It?" Joan said, “I can't
imagine when or where he was ex
posed. I haven’t seen a whooping
i cough sign anywhere.”
I said, “Isn’t there a law that If you
have whooping eough you’ve got to
t stay In your own yard?” and Joan
; said, “There certainly is.” I said,
“Well, somehody has busted the law,
that’s a cinch. I hope it wasn't some
little tiny kid,” and Joan said, “Why?”
i and I said, “Because I want to lick
whoever did it, and I can’t go picking
on a kid.”
Joan said, “It’s criminal for parents
to let children out when they have
whooping cough.” I said, “You’ve
solved it,” and she said, “Solved
what?” and I said. "Why, when I find
the kid I can lick his parents.”

On - ; of our reader family asked me
to print some suggestions on how mi

and chosen the right frock to wear
an enjoyable evening is practically'
insured. Nothing fortifies a woman's

The first thing to do before begin
i ning to dress is to take a warm or
i tepid bath. Use plenty of soap and
I water and then rinse off the lather
thoroughly. Use fragrant bath salts
to impart a faint perfume to your
' skin. Next apply a suitable powder

, back. Apply a skillful touch of rouge

powder of the right shade over the
■ skin. A liquid powder may be used

brush groom lashes and brows, using

artfully in order to avoid an unnat

Rinso makes washday so easy. I Just
soak the whole wash in its safe, creamy,
sterilizing suds—and I haven’t a bit of
hard rubbing to dol
Dirt and stains float bff In the rinsing.
Even the most soiled parts need only a
gentle rub between the fingers.
Os course this 'gentle way saves th«
clothes. Saves me fuel and fuss, too; for
Rinso sterilizes without boiling.
Why don’t you try Rinso next wash.
Rinso is all you need—no bar day? See for yourself how soft and sudsy
soaps, chips or powders. it makes the water.

women who do not use artificial cclor
on their lips in the daytime should
apply a trifle before going to an eve
ning entertainment.
Hands, of course, should be care
fully manicured. Superflous hair on
the limbs or under the arms should
be removed with a depilatory cream
if it is unsightly. Tho‘a who perspire
too freely may use oat of the com
mercial lotions sold fee the purpose
of checking the excess. The applica
tion should be made the night before
in most cases. Palms, under arms,
feet and shoulders are places where
sweating frequently occurs.
The coiffure may be arranged be

fetas are suitable for small, slender
girls. Large girls and women should
choose fabrics that hang in slim,
graceful folds. The tall, slender girl
may wear floating chiffon draperies in
full-tiered effects. In general, dark
or neutral tones should be the choice
for too-ample forms, while thin or
average figures may be decked in any
color of the rainbow that is becoming
to complexion, hair and eyes.

Homemade Bathing Suit.
Any one can make a satisfactory
pair of bathing shoes from a pair of
stockings and two pairs of shoe soles,
such as are used for knitted wool
bedroom slippers. Place one of the
soles inside the foct of a stocking
( and with heavy linen thread sew It
' to another and a slightly larger sole
on the outside of the stocking. That
gives double protection and saves the
| bother that goes with putting on and
■ taking off ordinary bathing shoes.
. In order to accommodate soles of the
right size and allow room for stiteta
l ing, the stockings should be larger
. than the wearer’s regular size.
