Making Over Last
’
Season’s Clothes
———
Fabrics Should Harmonize;
.
Rip Before Renovating;
Dyes an Aid.
With every shop showing an ex
quisite line of new fabrics it 1¢ hard
2 take one's self in hand and think
of a last year's dress that must be
made to do again. But remember the
old, old rule, that “a good thing hal?
worn is better than a cheap thing
brand new.”
There are three pitfalls in using
old materials, says Farm and Fire
side. One is, combining fabrics that
Go not harmonize; two, using gar
ments without ripping and renovating
completely; three, using out-of-fashion
colors. It is always an advantage to
buy a new piece of material, a rem
nant, perlaps, that harmonizes per
fectly and can tbe combined with the
material on hand. It should be of a
quality, too, that will last through
the renovated life of the garment. It
is a mistake to buy expensive mate
rial to combine with old material un
less the old material is exceptional
in quaiity, design and color. '
In making over old garments first
lip them carefully, saving each piece.
Next the pieces are washed or dry
cleaned and pressed thoroughly. It
is then possible to recut every part
and have a really new garment. Many
silks and woolens can be washed with
mild soaps in water of moderate tem
perature, dousing them up and down
rather than rubbing, squeezing them
out, rather than wringing, rinsing
them thoroughly in water of the same
temperature, rolling them in towels
to absorb the moisture, and then iron
ing them on the wrong side. When

A Few Changes Will Make Last
Yeer's Dress Up-to-Nate.
such washing is done quickly and
skillfully it improves ratl.e~ than in
jures the fabric.
I precautions are taken with ben-.
zine .or gasoline; fabries can be
cleaned at home satisfactorily. In
pressing it is best to use a damp
cloth under the iron.
Commercia: dyes are great aids in
achieving fashionable colors. Fabrics
rusty from wear can often take on a
new, smart color, particularly so this
season when dark reds, navy blues
and loam browns are fa—orites, Such
colors are easily obtained in dye and
will make a fabric not only look new,
but seem new.
Often an old dress can make a slip
for a coat dress. Less new material
need be purchased for the ‘coat ¢ ess,
which requires no lining, which
means another economy.
Frequently narrow widths can be
paneled in a skirt. For instance, use
plal_ed sections in the front or alter
nating the panels. This gives the
matefial the look of being cut o
origiffally and not used merely as an
emergency measure, Likewise take
care in adding Bands or folds or pan
els anywhere in a dress to. fit them
in: to look as though they really be
longed to the original garment.
When a dress is worn at the shoul
ders'and neck, a new yoke may be
added. In such a case, cuffs, a belt,
and possibly a cascade drape shouid
also sbe used -of the. same material.
If a ‘new hemline.is needed, the new
goods can serve as a facing, thus bal
ancing the dress .throughout.
If a plain yoke-is not becoming, it
may be ‘ncked at the .shoulders or
shirred to narrow it in effect. For
the same reason the neckline may be
cut V or U in shape. -

On Rearing Children
from CRIB to COLLEGE
? ? ?
Compiled by the Editors of “CHILDREN,
The Magazine for PARENTS”
It is never too late to learn—and it
is never too late to unlearn.
A small flashlight given to one small
boy redlly cured him of his fear of the
dark. He feels very proud to snap on
the light and go boldly into a dark
room,
Parenthood is a dual job. Working
out the problems of infancy and early
childhood in complete partnership will
give father and mother insight and
understanding later, when united
forces are none too strong to meet
some of the turbulent forces of
adolescence, If father feels that the
children are “mother’s job” during the
early years, the priceless years of ex
perience which should have been his
will be irrecoverably lost. The mas
ter’'s touch that familiarity with the
growing problems of his developing
might have given him may be gone for
ever. .
—_ '
The child's self-confidence will de
pend upon the confidence adults place
in him.,
A child may be nervous, fidgety, or
extremely quiet because his clothes do
not fit properly. Garments which are
too large and feel as though they are
dropping off are a nervous strain.
Those which are too small are uncom
fortable and physically harmful.
A child is always giving attention
to something. He simply cannot cease
from attending to a thing because you
tell him to do so. It is of little use to
say, “Don’t touch that,” unless at the
same time you provide him with an
alluring diversion in the shape of,
“Here, see the nice toy mother has
for you. Look, you can do this and
this with it. -See if you can do it,
too.”
Restraint and repression imposed by
adults do not teach self-control and
consideration for others. It is by
learning to make decisions for them
selves that children develop judgment
and self-reliance. :
.
The need of serving one quart of
milk a day for each child and at
least half that amount for each parent
may be partially met by serving cream
cups, scalloped dishes, milk puddings
and sauces. {
Parents must take up the work of
child-rearing at the point which nature
reached when the babies came into
their hands. And they have to try to
continue the work as well as it was
begun,

All Fashionable Colors
Prove to Be Interesting
- Almost to a greater extent than in
design does the mode in colors change
from year to year. This year fashion
has brought us the colors that we love
best, reports a fashion expert in Suc
cessful Farming Magazine, ‘
“We have,” she finds, “a warm, deep
red, called by some ‘guava red.” 'Then
we have a rich loam brown and a ‘rosy
tawn,” which is a warm tan. We have
bronze gold and bronze shadow, a deep
dark red, and copper and sugar cane,
all in the red family. Then there are
pewter pot and mauve gray, blue green
and olive-bronze green, and a new
clear blue a little lighter than navy,
called ‘Davy Jones.’
“Green and gray are subtly used.
Black is always considered smart when
smartly made. If one can afford sevs
eral different frocks, she might have a
raivn- dress and a tan one, and then
have a green for variety; but,if one
can have only one very lovely ‘outfit,
it is safer to choose it of brown, or
red, or blue, according. to the indi

BROWNIE AND THE LOON
ILLIE BROWNIE had always
wanted to talk to the bird known
as the Loon or Great Northern Diver.
He had heard the expression “as
crazy as a loon” and he knew it was
always used when people did silly,
crazy things.
; He wondered if there was any truth
in the expression or how it had start
ed in the first place.
So he decided he would call upon a
loon,
On his way there he wondered just
how he would talk to the loon.
It was rather a difficult thing to
go to a creature and say:
“Look here, old chap, they say a
person is as trazy as a loon when that
person has been behaving foolishly. Is
it true? Are you about as crazy and
foolish as a creature can be?”
Yes, it would be extremely difficult
to say that, and yet that was just ex:

He puzzled and he puzzled as to the
way he would begin the conversation
Perhaps he would start in by say

then say, as though it had just oc

“By the way, they tell me you're a

He was afraid, though, that he
would not be able to say this in such
a way as to make it sound as though
he had just though of it
Then he wondered if he could talk
about erazy things people bad done
and add:
“1 don’t suppose you've ever slone

But he was afraid that might not

CTHE WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
By H. IRVING KING
TELLING THE BEES
OF LATE years the superstitious
custom of “telling the bees’
when there is a death in the family
has nearly died out, but it still lingers
in remote country districts and to
within comparatively a few years ago
wus almost universal in rural com
munities. The mention of the custom
will recall at once Whitter's beautiful
poem on the subject. The belief was
that if the bees were not told of the
death they would either die or emi
grate; some communities believed the
one and some the other.
The , superstition is supposed to
nave originated in the remote pust
when the farmer, less well informed
with regard to bees than he is now
but observant of their industry, their
skill In building their combs, their
organized society ‘of drones, workers
and queens, regarded them with ‘a
sort of awe as possessing- human in
telligence. Moreover they worked tor
him day in and day out withour pay
If they were lower in the scale ttan
his hire¢ man they were higher than
his cattle. It was due to them to in
forin thém when a death took place in
the family; they had inrelligence
enough to comprehend and if not told
might feel offended and fly away or
turn sullen and die when they dis
covered that they had been neglected
in so important a matter,
Telling the bees was a pretty ides
and it is almost a pity that it is dy
ing out while so many repulsive super
stitions show npo signs of losing theiz
vitality.

to that very subject—as was really the
truth!
He didn't know what to do. And
even after he saw the loon he did not
know what to say. He decided to him
self he would wait awhile and see
whether the loon seemed sensitive or
“touchy” or whether he appeared as
though he would not mind what was
talked of between them,
The loon did seem very nervous,
He was, Billile Brownle soon saw, a
most marvelous diver and he did his
marketing with great ease and master
fulness.
“You'll forgive me if I'm a bit rest
less,” the loon said. “It's my dispo
sition.”
Billie Brownie was delighted. Here
was the loon introducing the subject
himself!
Billie needn’t have spent so much
time worrying and puzzling over what
he might say. :
“Are you so restless, then?” Billie
Brownie returned. “lI suppose your
family all have the same kind of a dis
position?”
Billie had long ago discovered that
once a creature was started in talking
about himself, there was no effort
about making him continue.
“Yes, we have much the same dis
position divided up among the mem
bers of the family,” the loon said.
Billie smiled to himself. The loon
spoke as though dispositions were di
vided up‘a: hom~= and gardens might
be divided. .
“You see we have always been rest
less, But we're not crazy when we're
free.
“We're pretty foolish at times, now
and again. But it is when we’re put
in close quarters that we go crazy.
“Yes, ‘we go plain crazy—or fancy
crazy if you'd prefer to speak of it
in that way.
“They do not keep us in the zoos
because we go crazy, lose our appe
tites and aIF our energy.
“We wouldn’t mind, perhaps, if we
had quantities of room, but quanti
ties of room means to be free,
- “It is when we have been in zoos
and when we have gone crazy that
people have seen us and have said:
“‘See those crazy loons. "How very.
very crazy they are.
“So we have the reputation of be
ing crazy. ‘Crazy as a loon’ has be
come quite an expression.
“But I must go for a dive and swim
oow, Billie Brownie. Glad you called
As the signs of either end of the town
say to the automobile people who've
come a-visiting.”
And Billie Brownie went home with
his question answered without having
had to ask the question.

How It Started
By JEAN NEWTON,
DID HE SIT AT YOUR FEET?
WHY is it that, according to the
common romantic conception, a
proposal is incomplete without a man
on his knees or at one’s feet? It is
certainly a fact that ip all the Romeo
and Juliet dreams of adolescent youth
the suitor plays a kneeling part; and
in their heart of hearts most wives
at some time admitted disappointment
at a proposal that lacked the floor
stunt.
It is, o 1 ¢ourse, by our romantic liter
ature that these ideas are inculcated
in the fertile youthful mind. But for
a sentiment through ages so prevalent
there, must be some foundatien. And
B W st
among’ the anclents if. was the cus
tom for people to &it ut the feet'of-the
great—of both sexes. With the de
cline of ancient austerity this homage
was trinsferred to beauty. -
With French influences rapidly
spreading over Europe it can be read

soon came to be centered in femihine

For Meditation
By LEONARD A. BARRETT -
UNCHANGEABLE HUMAN
<MOTIONS
WH'ILE we #re living in an entire
y different world than that in
which our fathers lived, the funda
mental human emotions have remained
about the same. :
Among the findings' of the recent
archeological discoveries of the Uni
versity of Michigan expedition were
letters bearing the date about 200
A. D. These letters were written by a
lad to his mother. The boy had gone
to war and the letters written in his
absence from home expressed in a
very beautiful way his loyalty and
deep love for his mother, to whom he
also wrote affectionate greetings and
wishes for happiness and good health,
“] ask you then, mother, to take
care of yourself, for I have come to a
good place. Please write me a letter
how you are an. my brothers and all
the family. Whenever I can find a
messenger, I, .too, will write to you.
[ certainly won't be slow in writing
to you. Greetings to all who love you,
by name. I pray for your health.”
Among other things discovered was
“a child’s toy wooden horse with the
leash still preserved.” A birth cer
tificate was also found carefully laid
away by a parent certifying to the
birth of twins bearing the date of
145 A. D.
Many other objects were discovered
which interpret for us the conditions
under which people lived in that peri
od. These indicate very clearly that
while civilization has advanced by
leaps and bounds since those early
times. the fundamental human emo
tions have remained about the same.
The devotion of children to parents,
the protection of parents for their
children, as well as the impulse of
love, the sense of justice, benevolence
and human kindness have not changed.
They have become the permanent ele
ments in suciety. Upon the continued
expression of these human emotional
elements the progress of civilization
depends.
