MERELY COMMENT

"Rep. Ryan's primary election bill
was BRANDED a good bill by ma
jority of the House. Examiner.
BRANDED a GOOD bill is right. As
soon as it is discovered at Springfield
that a bill is a good one it is branded
so it won't pass.
Have a libel suit on Andy Law
renee!
Now that all the newspapers have
fallen out, it looks like we were going
to hear little truth about them.
Possibly it would be a good idea
to have a course of vocational train
ing for would-be legislators in our
schools.
Even if the experiment failed, it
couldn't give us worse legislators
than we get now.

A Dutch Room.

The German, Flemish or Dutch tas
one chooses to call it, influence in deco
ration has been so played upon and eX-
plotted in cafes and the grillrooms of
hotels as to spoil it for the modest little
home with an ambition to be out of the
usual. In a western bungalow one ex-
poets to find such ROOM because a few
years back, when the bungalow first
came into vogue. the Dutch dining room
was still a novelty, and it seems pecu-
liarly to fit bungalow.
If you are admitted to a. house through
a Dutch door-that is, a heavy wooden
door split across the middle; If the out
side of the building is partially covered
by beautiful trellis of latticework on
which vines seem to cling in pattern
as they do on the prettiest houses in
Dresden-you naturally feel that the next
thing in order is Dutch dining room,
and in such houses you usually find it.
There Is something so snug and coy
about this type OF furnishing; it is SO
easy, by means of few stems. some
Delft china and old brass candlesticks, to
get an effect: heavy mission furniture
lends itself to this style of furnishing so
all of these reasons we
frequently feel the Dutch influence in the
moderately small but ambitious house.
1t is good influence. 1t has a quiet
and sturdy character that reminds one
of the Dutch people. 1t is cheerful, for
it sparkles with brass and copper and
pewter. 1t Is not cluttered with sense
less bric-a-brac or tawdriness of any
description, and it can be used with a
delightful combination of dark, rich col
ors. The dull red, for instance, of terra
Gotta tiles on the floor combines well
with a wainscOt of Flemish oak or with
simple black-painted woodwork. Above

there are any number of picturesque nov

In trimmings for instance. there are the

But could anything be prettier than
the adorable little coatee bodices of flow

plain silks? Flowered chiffon is used for
the one in today's sketch, which is worn
with a lingerie dress. 1t is cut by a XII

throat and bloused under a covered cord
ing at the waist, which tops a short
plated peplum of the same material
The neck and sleeve ends are trimmed
with fine white ruffiing, and the crossed
blouse fronts are caught together at the
belt under a corsage bouquet of roses.
This can be worn over an entire lin
gerie frock or be used as the blouse to

underblouse is necessary.
The skirt is hung from the waist with

with a deep border of embroidery or nee

be draped a little under a sash end or

HAPPINESS AS A DUTY
BY ABIGAIL MOORE.

Be happy all the time. 1t is well
established law that mental habits are
as readily formed as physical Happiness
is one state of consciousness.
What mind may do for the body is in
calcuiable. and what each Individual.
working along the same line toward hap
pineSs as every other individual, could
do toward uplifting the human race is
also incalculable. Pulling thus together,
with mind gradually lifted above sordid
broodng, and each taking the best view
Of life. a few generations and the whole
plane of thought would be healthier, hap
pier and broader, for progress and happi-
ness-or shall we say the capacity for
happineSs-are parallel.
Make it a mental habit TO see the good
In everything. Keep before your mind
a mental idea of happiness and harmony.
Form the thought that evil exists only
for the purpose of being developed into
the good and beautiful and then keep
your mind trained to the tune of the
good and beautiful.
Remember 1.-The imaging force is real
creative force for each one of u.s." and
that mental pabulum should be as care
fully selected as the menu for dinner.
You may choose, and should choose,
what you will think as what you will eat.
and let me warn You that just as food

you think affects you physically, for
mind, body and soul are lnterdependent.
and you have only to experiment to
prove this to your own satisfaction.
For instance, if at this moment you
are suffering from a dull headache your
brain is sluggish and your mood depress-
ed. If the headache is 8 sharp one then
your nerves seem "all on edge and in
stead of being depressed, in spite of the
pain. you feel an exhilaration amounting
to excitement. Similarly, too, excitement
causes the blood to circulate more quick
ly and in the direction of the head, and,
correspondence. mental depression re-
tards the circulation so that it fails to
stimulate as it should the various or
gans through which it flows
Physiology and psychology are very
closely related. after all, and if we could
only realize how desirable it is to have
the mental and physical forces working
tremendously together we should the
more enthusiastically and earnestly en-
deavor to bring them into that state.
Do you think the old, trite saying, BE
good and you will be happy is merely
a saying On the contrary, since every
thing is by comparison, everything Is
good or bad, lovely or unlovely, produc-
tive of good results or of bad, and so 1t

lends itself to this decoration by having

better still, loaded easements with circu-

Stats Perkins Cricket.

Stats Perkins got an idea when he
turned over an empty soap box in the
back yard one day. There was
cricket in it, Stats sat down to watch
1t jump around. Pretty soon he Won
dered why was d cricket, anyway.
Then he wondered why it was BLACK
That gave him the idea.
Stats went into the house and got
the reddest paint he could find In MS
big sisters water-color box. He mixed
some. put 1t in an old cup and dropped
the cricket in. 1t was a mighty red
cricket when he put it back in the box.
After he had fixed cover on the
box Stats got all the boys who weren't
fishing or staying indoors to be pun
ished or splitting kindling or some
thing. They could look at the red
cricket for five buttons. a marble, half
a slate pencil or an empty bottle.
Stats called him Jo-Jo.
Everything went all right and Stats

Mayonnaise Recipes.

Mayonnaise dressing has probably been
the subject of more rules. recipes and
suggestions than almost any other article
of daily diet The truth about the mat
ter seems to be that whether you beat the
salt with the eggs or add it last, whether
YOU beat the dressing with spoon or
a spatula or a wire whisk, whether Won
add the acid first or last you must beat
all the ingredients until they are thor
oughly mixed.
. One housewife, whose nayonnaise is
always a success, beats 1t ten minutes
after it is, to all appearances. finished.
She s-.ys that this extra beating makes
IT sure that the mayonnaise will not sep
