TOO-LIVELY BIRTHDAY PARTIES
ARE NOT GOOD FOR CHILDREN

Young folks should have much
hearty fun. but the nervous excite
ment engendered under the name OF
FUN" at many children's parties by
some of the, games and by the rivalry
as to favors and prizes Is positively
dangerous.
Training children to take part With
worldly sang froid in the grown-up
social affairs, where rivalry of all
sorts is part of the game" may be
considered necessary for their future
successful conduct, but 1t Is anything
but a proper preparation for any po-
tentially successful body or mind to
give such training as that offered
by the average fashionable child S
birthday party of today
Children would enjoy simple birth
day parties quite as much as elab-
crate ones IL their mothers only be-
lieved they would. and proceed upon
that basis.
Begun upon and held to a happy
standard of simplicity, and given at
longer intervals--at five, ten. fifteen
and twenty, or seeven, fourteen and
eighteen-there would be less nerve
strain for American children and their
mothers, says a writer in the Ladies'
Home Journal.
There are, happily, some families
where birthdays are made the occa-
sion of doing something to bestow

He turned away from the switch
board, and as he did so Mr.. Magee
walked calmly down the stairs toward
him. With a cry the young man ran
to the safe, threw a package inside,
and swung shut the door. He turned
the knob of the safe several times:
then he faced Mr.. Magee. The lat
ter saw something glitter in his hand.

the youth wildly.

Back into the young mans lean

that belonged with the gay attire

But I'll have to ask you to go first.

sought the pocket into which the re-

He mounted the stairs. After him
followed the youth of flashy habili-

as he went. He seemed surprised that
they came to Magee's room without
incident. Inside Mr.. Alagee drew up

A Cold, Cold Nose

Dear Miss Doom:
Please, will you kindly tell me if
there is something to keep "a nose

very bad. I'm not troubled with 1t
in the summer, only when the cold

CHARLOTTE II.
Your question makes me smile in
spite of myself, Charlotte One of
the editors has suggested that you
smoke a short stemmed pipe, the
heat of which will keep your nose
from freezing.
And now I'll be serious.
Are you sure that you dress
warmly enough? II is important
that the wrists and ankles be
snugly covered. Pumps and elbow
sleeves in winter time will make the
prettiest face look pinched.
Build yourself UP. Eat three
plain, hearty meals a day, drink
plenty of water walk q great deal
and sleep at night with your win
dows wide open.
Long sleeping hours are also i'm
portant.

About Stenciling
Dear Margery Doom:

Dear Margery Doom:
] have taken UP the stenclling
fad. and am crazy about it, but am
very much of an amateur. Can you
tell me how the colors arc made
fast? | want to stencil some wash
able articles, and, of course, I do
not want the colors to run. Any in
formation you can give Will be
greatly appreciated by
STENCIL.
When stenciling a pattern, iron II
as soon as the pattern is complete.
This will set the color. The best
way to do this Is TO place wet
cloth over the article and iron with
a moderately hot iron until the
cloth is perfectly dry. OF course,
when mixing the paints one should
use a dryer mixed in with the paint,
as the color is applied. Many people
in stenclling take the precaution of
SLIPPING blotting paper under the
part of the fabric which Is being
worked upon. This is a specially
good plan when the fabric is thin
or when one wishes to have the
coloring thin. The blotting paper
will absorb much of the paint, and
will also do away with the danger
Of having the color spread on the
material. Directions usually come
with the stencil materials.
