TAPE VERY HANDY
IN MENDING GOODS

The widest obtainable tape makes a
neat patch over a small rent in under
garments, repairs worn petticoat bands,
when a new buttonhole is required, the
same with skirt bands.
You viii find when sewing fine silk
that quite often the seams are in
etIaed to pucker when silk thread Is
used. The sewing Is msde much
smoother if cotton thread OF the same
color and size is used IN the bobbin
with silk thread above DO not dampen
such seams when pressing them. for
oft times water marks silk and the
stain cannot be removed.
A goOd-loCking yoke can be made
from wash ret by trimming 1t with row
after row Of narrow braid either the
same color or in a contrasting tone.
This Is easily done, and stands launder-
Ing well. The braid can be evenly
spaced OF il can be set on in groups
of two and three with a wider space
between. When used as a guimpe the
net sleeves should be braided 10 match

purpose is TO answer her per-
plexitieS and meet her needs, as
far as it IS possible TO do so.
Every mother who reads The
Times is invited to bring her
perplexities or her suggestions
which will help ether moth
ers to the Editor of the
Woman's Page. In the present
age, it is the mother who has
the larger part of the response
bility for both the physical and
moral training of her children.
With theories deluging her from
every source she is often at sea.
The Editor of the Woman's
Page has made an exhaustive
study of the problems which
confront American mothers
both in the physical and moral
training of their children. Her
knowledge along both lines is at
the disposal of the mothers who
read The Times.

BERRY SEASON
IS NEAR END
But THO Weeks Left for
the HouSekeeper to
Make Preserves.

Only about two weeks remain IN
which the Washington housekeeper
may preserve raspberries and black
berries for winter use. In fact, rasp-
berries will be practically gone with
IN ten days, but the blackberry season
Is expected 10 hang on week longer
Both kinds OF berries have been
scarce this year. Shipments OF each
are continuing to reach the market
from the South, but the homegrown
berry is largely supplying local de-
mand just at present.
It is practically settled that there
will be no more reductions in prices
of either raspberries or blackberries.
Indications are the other way, as
result of tie scant supply. The per
ries are Of good qualities, however
and reach the market in splendid con-
dftfOn TO ne preserved.

Children'S Questions
Should Be Answered
By VIRGINIA TEMPLE.

Since the invitation was extended TO
Washington mothers to talk TO me OF
their perpleXities I have been asked
questions concerning the propriety OF
answering the interrOgatiOns of children
about the coming of the stork into their
home My opinion in this matter has
been requested through Sc many letters
that ! have decided to answer these
letters through the Mothers Corner
without giving the names, which have
been requested to withhold.
In a good many years of the study OF
cause and effect in child life IT has
been my observation that child viii
not voluntarily ask a question until he
is mentally and morally ready TO re-
celve an answer to that question. I'm
der all circumstances give a clear, def
mite answer. Explain what the child
asks without foolish embarrassment.
and in simple words. Be sure that he
understands both his question and your
answer. But it is not necessary 10 90
beyond the question he asks. It use the
masculine gender because the letters
upon my desk refer to boys between
the ages of eight and ten years. The
came treatment Of this question applies
10 both sexes, however,
Question Denotes
Ability to Understand.
II your boy has asked you q question
upon a certain subject, Il proves that
his mind has reached the stage o. de-
velopment where he can understand the
answer to that question. II does not
follow. however. that he can under
stand everything you know and might
tell him upon the subject. Therefore,
II is better 10 explain what he wants to
know. and nothing else. When his
mind is ready for more information
you may rest assured that ne viii come
~ you for it II you have not lied TO him
I'm TIE first place and thereby destroyed
fis faith in you. I do not believe in
deceivIng children nor in evading them.
I believe that they have as much right
70 the truth as you or ].
The result OF evasion IS harmful. If
you put of a question asked you by
your boy, or your girl, you Immediately
arouse En abnormal curiosity OF mind
which would not otherwise exist. You
place the subject IN question in a false
light. You drive the child t. seek his
information among his comrades. He
may not give you evidence of this when
you fail him, but YOU may be certain
that he will repeat the question he has
asked you TO some one less fitted TO an
sWer it. 20 some one who will perhaps
desecrate a sacred subject
] VIII illustrate just what 7 mean by
telling no more than is asked. When a
child begins the development Of his
mind and character through school
