ends of the strings were made to match
with just tiny flower Another sewing
apron was made of white linen, button
holed all around in plain blue floss, with
spray of blue forget-me-nots worked
across the front. The beading sewed
across the top for the ribbon was per-
fectly plain and seemed to match the but
tonhole stitch. Many of those made of
China silk have simply hens turned down
for the ribbon casing, and are pretty
without being much trouble to make. A
neat little sewing apron is made with
three cores, the center one having an ex-
ira piece that fits on half the length of
the apron.
The new chafing dish aprons are the
prettiest little affairs imaginable, being
similar to the fluffy little aprons worn by
bellies of a generation ago, with their
quaint little lacy pockets. ribbon strings,
embroidered In one corner with daisies, or
other flowers They may be made of or
CANDY, dimity, linen, etc. Those made of
butchers. linen are outlined with pink and
green, blue and piQk,. black and yellow,
blue and yellow, or any other colors that
look well as a border on yellow linen.
Powered organizes are bordered with
plain organdy to match the flowers
These aprons are small. whatever the
shape. A pattern easily made is cut if
teen inches long and rounding. It is I'm
ished all around the edge with lace put
on fiat. Ruffles are not much used at
present. Another style is cut square and
a three-inch border of plain lawn, or
CANDY. or. silk used as a border. Some
are edged with net combined With the
daintiest lace. and sometimes rows of
ribbon connecting the lace are run
through the edges and others are. finished
with cross and floss stitches or the her
ringbone stitch. Even the tiny strings
have a little trimming. Bands of inser-
ton matching the lace edging. or lace
motifs Of different shapes, are all used as
trimmings. A swinging pocket. or a side
frfll at the right, side of the apron are
new touches.
Any girl would appreciate a travelling
| apron. It., should be made OF stout ma
terial, cut rather plain, short and round
ed. and supplied with pockets to hold
brush. comb, cold cream, powder, tooth
brush, nail brush, soap. etc, those for
soap and brushes being lined with water
proof silk It will be a great help and
comfort in making the toilet in a small
dressing room of swaying train.

BROWN-EYED BEAUTIES.

"'The bright black eye, the laughing
blue,
| cannot choose between the two,
But that is dearest all the while
That wears for US the sweetest smile
So sang an old-fashioned verse MAX
er and it is just as true as the beau
tiful sentiment about roses and VIC
lets and you.
Robert Louis Stevenson said it is
worth more to meet a happy person
than to find ten pound note, but that
depends on how much one needs mon
ey; being "cheered up" of course, is
Of immense value. So we are always
glad to have happy person drop in
and smile upon US even if neither
items of interest nor silver wheels
come with the pleasant words. Smiles
and kindness quicken hearts and are
not to be estimated in current coin.
Beauty also is its own excuse for
being, as the great preacher Emerson
declared, and to be delighted is to be
benefited. Our most charming visi-
tors last week CHANGED to be bru-
nettes and one of them was tiny,
bald-headed cherub in long clothes.
Mr.. Noah Neal came in and possessed
himself of this little darling, allowing
her to pull his mustache and admit
1iag so shamelessly he wanted to steal
her, we reminded him it is no sin to
covet your neighbours granddaughter
because it is as hopeless and harm
less as crying for the moon.
Another beauty with dark bright
eyes and quiet manners came in with
one Of the Journal contestants whose
whirlwind campaign shows no signs
of declining into a spring breeze.
Speaking of eyes, is not that beau
tiful description Mrs Browning made
in the lines:
Thy brown eyes have looks like birds
Flying straightWay to the light ( p"
Eou have seen such eyes, of course,
aad they are the kind Elizabeth Stu
art Phelps said she saw and under
stood when she was spending awhile
in heaven although the doctors called
it trance.
A pair of those beautiful, bright
brown eyes illuminated our sanctum
last Friday They belong to one of
the sweetest and prettiest girls in
the world and her presence is like the
radiance of dawn and the fragrance
of a May rose She has lived all her
life serenely on Kennesaw Avenue and
no doubt is dearly loved by many rel
atives and friends who simply take
her loneliness for granted as they do
the splendor of the heaven on starry
night. Another fair visitor, with the
clear, softly beaming dark eyes of a
loving mother, made US brief call
late one cold afternoon. She looked
like Partisan grande dame, so far as
her elegant clothes and black plumed
picture hat expressed her, but her
face was youthful and full Of tender
sweetness.
These visitors are mentioned only as
one would say, my last bouquet was
entirely of pansies" and not that all
the beauties in town are brunettes.
Come to think of it, one of the pref
test is visiting in Nashville and sew

STREET NEEDS 4 BATH.

Columbia needs bath. 1t needs
a scrubbing and good one. Its
streets. which in the main are brick.
can dardly be distinguished from or
binary dirt roads and the sidewalks
in many places are as bad as the
streets.
The sloppy winter weather is not
at all conducive to cleanliness, but
still there is no excuse for the filth
that exists Even the downtown
streets are covered with mud an inch
or two deep in places. Perhaps a
mid-winter cleanup is useless. for
without a doubt the streets would all
get dirty again; but when we have
a street cleaning department well
equipped with cans. shOvels and
brushes it would seem that at least
the streets in the business section
should be attended to before the an
nual spring cleaning. The present
effect of the white way is only to
show off the dirt of the streets.

What Feature Writing Is

TO define the expression feature
story" is about as difficult as to de
fine the word life. probably because
the two are so closely allied; for the
feature story is just that - a stor,
of life - and the more alive the bet
ter. But this is a broad definition OF
a news story as we'll; news. however
is but an ungarnished chronicle OF
the happenings of the minute before
while the feature story is a combina-
tion of news and editorial and the
facts may be as old as the hills il
they are new to the reader.
There are no limitations to the
style or the subject of the feature
story. 1t may be a humorous COM
ment of the foibles of the day or a
flight of imagination prophesying the
end of the world or a conflict with
the Martians. Whether the feature
section of newspaper is serious or
light. yellow or a happy medium,
depends upon the tastes of its read
ers: and whatever the inclinatiOns
of the feature writer NAV be. he
must adapt himself to that demand
If his public is of the working
classes who crave a mental stimulant
after the weeks grind, he gives them
stories of the grOtesque-the biggest,
longest. richest. ugliest-eyerythin
in superlatives and usually every
thing about people rather than
things. The $l5-a-week fat-dwell-
er loves to read about the eXtrava-
gance of the very rich, the love af-
fairs of the very emotional, or the
scrapes of the very gay, all illus
trated with half-page pictures that
startle the eye. 1t is the only rO-
nance he knows in his colorless life.
On the other hand the man of af-
fairs. comfortably and leisurely set
tied in life. prefers the more sedate
magazine section which devOtes it.
self to biographies of celebrities, the
latest findings of the Rockefeller In
stltutc on cancer, things political
and so on, all stories of solid things
SOlidly told. Between the two is the
paper which tones
down the yellow story and livens up
the sOlidly intellectual for it's army
of readers whose brOws are neither
high nor low
1t is with this last sort of paper
that the feature writer has the most
scope. Elbert Hubbard says that the
greatest JOY in life is the joy of ere

Viewpoints
Glinnpses of China.

Editor the Missourian: - Permit
me to say few words. through your
valuable column. regarding the topic
entitled: '.Glimpses of China which
appeared in your paper Tuesday.
In reading over the contents it is
really astounding to find how my
country is SO much misinterpreted
by the writer who seems to know
China we'll. China is the land of
ing to draw the differences in Gus
toms and manners between the Ori-
ent and the Occident. but really put
ting the Chinese society to the lowest
stratum. Ii is all very true that evil
manners do exist among the lowest
class i'm China as, | believe they also
exist among the slums in America
But does the writer think that such
statements as the Chinese spit the
bones out on the floor or on the bare
table: The food is set i'm the middle
of the table in baSinS-which is re-
filled from bucket close at hand; :;
A piece of fat pork go the whole
round OF the table waiting to be eat
ell by one of the guests" would do
any justification in giving the Amer
lean people glimpses of real China?
Whatever comparison or differences
may be drawn between the East and
the West. the facts should be based
upon the actual conditions of every
day life of the middle class rather
than the evils of the two extreme
classes.
| believe that the writer is con-
scious of the fact that. owing to mis-
Interpretation or to depicting cOndi-
tiOns that do not represent the whole
country, there has already been a
widespread ignorance about China
that prevails in this country. and the
same is also true about America in
China. 1t seems therefore the duty
of all educated Americans and Chi
nese who have the opportunity to
see and to know and to study each
others countries we'll to serve as
true Interpreters of China and Amer
lea and to substitute knowledge for
ignorance when they return to their
countries so that the arti-
ticial barriers between East and West
will he removed and every cause for
misunderstanding will vanish

floor swung inward and was prOpped
open. Recently the door has been
changed to swing outward, and
springs shut. The transOm over
this sole entrance to the fourth floor
is nailed down.
Now there is not one chance in
ten thousand, perhaps. that this door
would ever become locked at a time
when students We're on the fourth
floor. and that the building would
take fire at this unfortunate time.
But why take this chance? When
40 employees of the Triangle Shirt
waist factory threw themselves out
of the tenth floor window of the
Asch Building in New York, the
country gasped with borrow. Such
holocaust was the last thing the
prOprietOrs of the factory expected; /;
yet there We're relatives of the un-
fortunate victims who were so in
cOnSiderate as to think the owners
of the building and the managers of
the factory should be punished.
No one expects Academic Hall to
catch fire, but it is century away
from fireprOOf construction. No one
expects that this door will ever be-
come locked at time when several
hundred students are in the fourth
floor class rooms; yet several girls
We're recently locked in a University
class room by door springing
shut. Locks frequently go wrong.
What is the sense in having this
loor there? Why should it ever be
shut during hours when classes are
held on the fourth floor? The student
rushing upstairs to class bumps
into another coming down. The
stairways from the first to the sec
Ond floor and from the second to the
third are not shut off by heavy
doors. Why the fourth floor? Per-
haps it does make a little difference
in the heating of the upper rooms.
Then why not shut off these other
stairways? 1t seems to the average
student like niggardly effort at
economy.
Why not tear this door down?
There are enough remnants of me-
dieval architecture about Academic
Hall without this blind entrance to
the fourth floor. We wouldn't Sug-
gest such prOfligate things as fire
escapes. but why not at least keep
the stairways clear?
Student.
