Any student of child psychology, no matter how. superficial his observa tions may he, knows the extreme sen sitiveness of the child mind to im pressions from without —and the ef fects of the visual impressions are perhaps the strongest. We must then realize the necessity of making a bright and cheerful at mosphere in the children's room. More than tills, wise parents endeavor to create surroundings which will draw the attention and interest of the child ish mind away from Itself. Komembering that we must keep the room where children live and sleep as free ns possible from any thing which will tend to gather and hold dust and germs —and that every available space must he left free for play space—we find ourselves turning to tlie walls as the logical areas on which most profitably we may spend our effort nnd our money. Before discussing the better ways of vail treatment for tlie room by which we wish to create the right impres sions on the child mind, let us think hack to our own c!#Udhood to find what we must avoid. How many of us remember wails covered with sad cohired papers, or even walls of pretty color, hut with designs which, as we now know, tired us and made us nerv ous. How many or us can recall be ing put to bed for an afternoon nap under a ceiling paper whose designs of triangles were always changing inio squares or some other geometri cal figure and which kept us contin ually busy bringing these figures hack Into the one which our particular idea determined to be the correct one— or, in the dusk of evening, finding the been considered. Here is a square type of home which should please the most exacting. The house illustrated has an nbun dance of room and it has been laid out for light and convenience.

Entrance to the front of the house is through the reception parlor, which houses the stairway. The living room, Immediately to the right of the hall, is of generous size, with the sun parlor adding what Is virtually another room. The dining room, cheerfully lighted from two sides, is placed conveniently in relation to the kitchen and the pantry, where pro vision is made for outside icing for the refrigerator. The three bedrooms on the second floor all are lighted from two sides and permit cross ventilation. All art provided with large closets. The bal conies are conveniences which the housewife will appreciate.

The very fact that we remember such experiences proves to us tlie lasting Impressions Hint they made, and while, perhaps, we our selves cannot judge of their effects, psychologists who know tell us that such experiences are harmful, and we must take thought to prevent a repe tition of those impressions upon our children. Fireplace Adds to Beauty of Apartment A ready-built fireplace which can be Installed without tlie inconvenienca of tearing up tlie tloor and the build ing of a strong foundation to support Its weight is now on tlie market nnd is recommended by architects and builders for apartments and homes.

MODY^III j EVENING ill EMRYTAI£,| GraharnSonnsr I cofYK/cvr er'lVSJfflt/l/tEWJfAPCfU.WM | OLD HUNTING DOG “A long, long, iong l time ago I told a story about myself. Oh, no one re members it now I suppose, as 1 am so much older. “I don’t even .remember what 1 said about myself and perhaps with the years some of my opinions have changed. They will, you know. “In tiie first place I am called Cape Hunting Dog, and my home used to he in Eastern Africa. “That was many, many years ago. I have been here in the zoo for a long time. “I have straight, standing-up ears. No floppy, lying-down ears for me! “No, I won’t have it. I mean I wouldn’t have it. I mean I wouldn’t have them. I mean I wouldn’t have such kinds of ears! “There, I think at last I have ex plained myself. I haven’t told a story in so long a time that I am really a bit rusty. Ido not mean that my coat is rusty or anything like that. “I merely mean that I am rusty about story-telling. “Well, I stand up very straight and 1 look pretty dangerous. I am not gentle. “One of the most interesting things about me is that I have four toes in stead of five. “Most dogs have five toes. “But our great, great, great, great, great grandfather Hunting Dog said, “ T simply must have four toes. I cannot he as all other dogs are. “‘I must be different and distin guished;’ “So we have always had four loes instead of five. “It is true that people may not think this makes us distinguished. But neither do we think they’re distin guished when we hear them teil each other what fine marks they have made “I Stand Up Very Straight." in school, or what teams they are now playing upon or what splendid business they may be controlling. "So, we do not mind if they don’t think our four toes are wonderful as we don’t think what they do Is so won derful. "Therefore it is fair all around. "I wear a yellowish black coat and my whiskers are black. I stand up very straight. “When tlie keeper comes around with food I become very much excited. "Meal time is really very exciting to me. “But the most interesting thing I have to tell about myself is this: “Most hunting dogs are those who help their masters hunt. I never did tltis. “I never have and I never will. “I hunted for myself and so did all the members of the family. "We limited for each other, of course, hut not for ninn or men. “We used to go about in great num bers. We were always a sociable family and we used to he wild and do great harm. "You can still see by the look in my face and the way I stand that even though I have been here many years and though I behave well enough here nnd though 1 like it well enough, still 1 show that my life was a ferociously exciting one. "I let them have an idea of my story without saying a thing. “Yes, just by looking at me people guess at my story. "But I have told it now and so you know it. Now you know that there is a hunting dog who only hunts for himself and for his relatives. "Can’t you picture them way off in Africa going traveling and hunting in great numbers? “I can’.” Rivers Divide States The Missouri river in South Dakota ; ; Columbia in Oregon; Snake in Idaho; ltio Grande in New Mexico; Platte in i Nebraska; Arkansas river In Arkan | sas; Missouri river in Missouri; Des I Moines in lowa, and Bed river in Louisiana run completely through their states, dividing them. Use Combinations # to Get New Ideas Materials Considered Out of Fashion Picture Are Given Tryout. Tiie newest prank of fashion, writes an authority, is to use combinations which are more or less considered .out of season or are very unusual. For j instance, black sutiu was used for an ! afternoon frock where organdie and j-'iiminer ermine shared the trimming honors. Tiie organdie was white and embroidered. It formed a deep hem i effect on tiie skirt. The edges of the ! organdie were scalloped and the scal lops were appliqued to the fur. Al though the combination sounds curi ous, tiie effect was nevertheless most charming. The vogue of tiie tunic overblouse is being enthusiastically adapted by a great number of women as the most logical solution to the blouse and skirt problem. We believe there isn’t any woman who either looks well dressed or feels well dressed in a separate skirt and blouse, but let her don one of those new unbelted tunic blouses which come well down over the knees sind are made of sucli attractive silks, and we arc sure she will be agreeably surprised at tiie truly smart appear ance its simple lines will give her.. Be sides improving one’s appearance, there is economy in possessing several of these tunics, for they can be worn with the skirt of an old suit. The skirt of last year’s suit which has be come shiny In tiie bnck or slightly worn can be brought out of one’s wardrobe and put to very good use in tliis way. In I aris they are wearing these tunics very long, only two or three inches of the skirt being visible in some instances. The skirts are short, very narrow, sometimes plaited and sometimes plain. Flounces and tiers cut to accentuate rather than detract from the much-de sired slim line occupy such an impor- Afternoon Frock That Will Interest Women Crystal platted chiffon, beneath all over embroidery in gold color, is used to make this charming afternoon gown, ornamented with girdle and rosette of white beads. To Dress and Look Cool on Sultry Summer Day Life nowadnys is altogether too tuucli fussed-up. We all admit It. But you have no idea how, taking your courage In hand, you can pull off the silly old outer coverings, and get at something tolerably simple. Just for one example, observes a writer in the Woman’s Home Companion: If your hair is hot and heavy on your head and hard to keep in order, cut some of it out. Don’t be afraid. Maybe your husband does admire it. He doesn’t have to take care of it. The first thing to do If you have long heavy hair is to shorten it. What’s the use of :arrying around a lot of old hair, anyway? It just wads up in a'bunch on your head and acts like a warming pan. But if your hair grows thickly on your head, shortening doesn’t cool you off very much. My suggestion then is that you have some one thin it out for you carefully, much as you’d thin out the carrot row in the early summer. Cut small pieces out close- to the scalp in several places. Icing careful to take It from under neath where the cut-out regions will Serviceable Frock for Little Girl of Seven Here is a very serviceable frock a young girl. The one on the ri l can be worn indoors and the one 1 the left uses for outdoors. The lit,? jumper is made separately so tlm can easily be slipped on or off „ t Chic Frocks for Girls. Tiie frock is made of doth. The upper part is quite long, well below tlse hips. The short skirt Is plaited. A little stitching in colored wool finishes the armholes and neck of this almost sleeveless frock. Tiie jumper enn be made of thin silk and lined, or of a heavy, unilned silk or velvet. A wide band of embroidery In bright colors is sewed to the bottom of tiie jumper. Folds of silk of a color that will har monize with the colors in the em broidery finish the wide neck and arm holes. tant position In the mode that one can not pass them by without some recog nition. The cut of tiers is invariably circular, for In this way any fullness or bunchiness can be nvolded as they can be applied without fullness. Criss cross tunics which look like one layer of fabric were wrapped about the fig ure in one direction, and another layer lapped in the opposite direction Is an other oddity that has been seen sev eral times. Flannel coats In white, powder blue and nil the high shades without any linings in them and very simply tailored are being worn at smart re sorts with sports frocks of crepe de chine. Some are braid-bound, some are piped with contrasting flrinnel, while others depend entirely upon their unrelieved simplicity for smart ness. One of the two models being worn most is the wrnp-around, which is devoid of fastening and is held In position by the wearer.
