Children are susceptible to influ ences of beauty in their early years and that influence creates a taste for lovely thoughts, de lightful images, musical language. It opens the way for spiritual de velopment. makes the minri re. ceptive to thoughts that reach be yond the drab actualities of this world. That is something that, lasting a lifetime, makes trouble seem lighter the harsh facts of! life take on softer outlines and finer meaning. People need to free themselves, now and then from the demands of living. The household routine, the same yesterday, today, year after year, its interruptions of ill ness, disappointment, unrewarded effort, becomes a bit dreary. Tc read a poem, to remember one that brings beauty of thought, image, music and language, is to open a door to a world where care is but a shadow, trouble a pass ing cloud, delight immediate and fulfilling. There is a great wealth of poetry within reach of anybody who cares to stretch out his hand for it. Open the Bible to the Twenty-third Psalm and read it aloud. “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil.” Read it slowly and listen to the music, to the faith and neaee nf it Read to the restless child who does not want to sleep Stevenson s; “A Child’s Garden of Verses," especially the poem in which the child complains about having “to go to bed by day.” Read him some of A. A. Milne’s verses. The rhythm, the rhymes, the lovely words themselves, will send him to sleep with a good taste for life in his mouth. Older children, once their relish for poetry has been cultivated, will like to listen to poetry thar is read, read well, by their teach er. Ballads, narrative poems, selec tions from the great poets, if read properly to children, dis cussed with them, will influence their attitudes, their tastes, their language. i Start the little children on Mother Goose, advance to the easiest of Lear’s nonsense verses, to Milne’s, then to Stevenson, Longfellow, Noyes, and the rica field that stretches on and on before them. Poetry is the language of the1, spirit.

An organized appear ance can aid tremendously in combating the heat. Sometimes it takes only a little item to perk up your spirits on a hot summer day. It may be a pair of bright, white gloves. It might be a new hat worn at just the right angle. It could be a complete outfit so well put together that it gives you joy to wear it. A navy blue butcher linen duster trimmed in white is both a sophisticated and a wise summer purchase. It is dark, does not show every smudge immediately, and'can top all your summer clothes when you want an “organized look” for town wear. Novelties can add a lot of Si wmmsmsmmrneesssmimsmmi fun to your summer outlook. Take for example, the little round straw handbag. It’s “different” looking, holds a goodly supply of cosmetics, etc., and will go beautifully with all. your summer cos tumes. Or you might like a birdcage handbag” with your favorite silk square tucked in side for “carry-all” purposes. That’s one way to add color to your costumes and achieve an original fashion approach. Our pictured hat is a new silhouette in the Panama hat lineup. This breton has a whited jeweled flower trim ming the stark black velvet band. Designed by Knox, it is just one of a collection being featured by an F street shop. Call Sterling 5000, extension 395, between 9 and 4:30, for shopping Information.

I Rinse and drain 1 cup of seed less raisins. Cut 1 pound of cleaned rhubarb into 1-inch pieces. Combine with */2 cup of water % cup of crushed pineapple, 2 cups of granulated sugar and the raisins.

Pour into sterilized glasses and seal. Especially delicious with little hot biscuits for supper! Roast Kid In our Southwest, as well as in the Eastern countries of the world, a roast kid is considered a delicacy far superior to lamb or mutton. In Mexico it is done to perfection. Get the butcher to order for you one leg of kid, with the chops on. Make incisions all over the meat, and stuff into each one a barb of bacon and a sliver of garlic. Mix together some salt, pepper, a bay leaf, minced fine, and one onion, minced. Rub this mixture over the entire surface of the meat. Mix 2 tablespoons of melt ed butter with 1 tablespoon of seeded raisins and % cup of ma deira. Put the leg of kid in a paper bag, and pour in the madeira mix ture. Start baking at a high tem perature, then reduce heat, and roast as you would a leg of lamb of equal poundage. t * Veal With Tarragon If there is a hot house or herb farm in your neighborhood, it will pay you to purchase a little pot of fresh tarragon, which is indis pensable around the well-ordered kitchen. You may use it to make super Sauce Beamaise—or even to dress up a bit of leftover veal. Like this: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a pan and stir in un til well blended 2 tablespoons of flour. Let the flour brown—but be sure that it does not burn Add a eup of water and half a eup of dry white wine, and season well with salt, pepper and imported paprika.
