A Clever Announcement

VERY clever young girl an
"A nounced her engagement TO her
N friends in this way: She asked
them to come to a porch tea at her
house When they had all arrived she
brought out a huge tray piled high
with balls of colored yarn. passed them
about When every one had ball she
gave each one one of those spools that
children knit reins over and told
them to go ahead and knit up her ball.
The balls had each been wound OF a
different length OF wool. so they would
not all finish at the same time. and
there wasn't enough yarn in them to
make the task tedious. The girl who
finished found a tiny white slipper in
the center of her ball filled with rice.
The next girl found little round box
containing a molasses kiss done up in
pink paper. Next came bisque Cupid,
a little china turtle dove, each girl
discovering some little true-love en-
blem. OF course. the hostess was the
last to reach her favor, which was
her ring in a box.
After the party the spools with more
worsted we're sent TO the children's
ward in the hospital.

now fasten basket to top of legs with
two inch screws, one screw in each

legs. This brings the crib to the level
of the mothers bed. 1t is easily NOV
ed about by the basket handle without
stopping. and, by placing one or two
sadirons in bottom of basket to offer
the necessary resistance, becomes an
excellent contrivance for baby to
cling to and push about while learn
ing to walk.

EFF there is a s or 7-year-old lassie

to grow long" You will have visions
of a straggly head for a year or more.
and so you postpone the time and in
sist on another hair trimming. II is,
indeed. a difficult task to arrange the
hair of the little girl who is outgrov-
ing the bob. OF course. for a few
months there is really nothing that
can be done with II. except to have
patience and give II attention, brush

scalp and massage to help along the

After the hair begins TO get straggly
is the time when the mother has he-
hands full. Shall II be hair ribbons

before she can decide on any one way
to fx the little girls stubborn locks.
II is mistake TO let a child's hair
hang for school or play. unless q moth

tention 1t needs. When the hair is al
lowed TO get too tangled during the
day II Is ruinous 10 It's future glory

little girls are seen with their hair all
braided up tight and out OF the way.
For the most part 1t is allowed TO hang
partly. and TO be caught up in some
way or other with a ribbon or bar

secure and practical for everyday
wear.

The whole effect is done by buttonhol-

That's a clever idea isn't It; the

to the chemise for the reason that IL

a separate one is worn under It. Seal

pulled tight across the front Of the
chemise and give some shapeliness

chemise is finished envelope style. the

Nightgowns have a way of being
sleeveless nowadays so that the hand
kerchief top, as the pointed effect ia

the top of the gown into which the
points are set is finished with a row
of scallops and long eyelets through
which the ribbon is run.

vvyHEN a good man dies, his
w friends like to say that 'he had
not an enemy in the world"
They intend it as a compliment, but
it isn't. In the first place, it isn't true.
No man ever lived who had not an en-
emy. If he had no other he was an
enemy to himself.
But, if it were true, il still would be
no compliment
A man without an enemy would be a
nonentity.
No man who ever accomplished any
thing. who stood frm- footed for a prin-
ciple. who defended a belief, who built
up an enterprise or benefited comun-
ity, did it without creating enemies.
All progress makes for enmities, and
the measure of mans usefulness quite
often is the nature Of the enemies he
has acquired
If the world had been peopled by
men who have not an enemy in the
world" the, world today would be as it
was when it was created
But for the men who have made enc
mics by standing for progress and i'm
provement. we would still be wearing fig
leaves in the tropics and bear skins in
the Arctics.
About the only good thing which can
be said of some men is that they have
made bitter enemies. But at that they
have achieved more than the man who
has none, for even the enmity they have
engendered has stirred other men to
greater effort

cniioren WIN regular features.
Two ways Of catching the hair up
and OFF the face are given In the pho
tographs. One shows earbobs like big
sisters. the hair parted right and left,
combed back and caught with a bar
rette just below the crown OF the
head. The rest OF the hair is braided
and caught with another smaller bar
rette near the ends.
Two partings are used for the other
arrangement. but the bobs are not so
exaggerated. The middle portion is
rolled into something like a French
twist, and a few bangs are left TO fll
up the outline OF q rather high fore
head The hair may be left hanging
in back or braided as in the other ar
ransement Sometimes II can be mere
ly caught again with second barrette
without braiding II at all.
Bangs, not the straight stiff kind.

thing that can be done in such q case

A word about ourls Don't force
them on your little girl IL her hair has
no tendency to curl Time enough
when she has grown older to initiate
her into curriers' and waves. Now let
her take pride in having her hair even

hair OF even length and take her TO a
specialist occasionally for a good
singeing. One OF the photographs
shows a very stunning way to arrange
straight hair that will prove itself sur
prisingly becoming unless the face is
too square or round. A part is made
rather low to the left side and all the
front hair is pulled straight across
the forehead. brushed smooth and held
