Dainty Child Wants Hair BIocke

70 the Editor Of Womdr'S Pd0c:
Dainty Child-Of course, it would
not be ridiculous for n child of your
age to have her hair blocked if she
wants to do it and feels that 'it will
make her hair grow. There arc differ
cnt ideals of beauty. and no one can
definitely define beauty in Il girl or n
child. Real beauty is beauty and rcgu-
larity of features. but many times a
person who has no regularity of fra
turCs is considered beautiful on account
of n smile, or an expression of the
eyes, or certain charm that lies be-
meath the features. A little girl of
your age is prcttcst when she is think
ing the least of herself and is not
making any effort to be beautiful.

On the Front Porch

If your piazza chairs are showing
signs of wear it is a good idea to repair
them at odd jobs in the spring months.
Provided the seats and perhaps some of
the backs are of rattan, wicker or cane
and you do not want to go to the ex-
pense of having them done over. try
tacking piece of canvas securely
around the edge of back or seat, turn
ing in the edges carefully and using
brass headed tacks. Then paint the
whole chair. canvas and all, and you
will be surprised at the result and
trihing expense.

In regard to the smaller chains il is
almost Imperative to have several
strings, or. aS some of the women are
doing. different neck ornament for
each dress. This really seems the most
practical way. as oftontimcs very
duh frock may be livcncd up, or an un-
trimmed dress decorated by a we'll Sc
lcrtCd string of beads.
The artist has made YOU several
sketches of necklaces. and you can,
am sure, judge the length now in fash
ion. if You have pcrrhancc not OBJ
served it before in the shops.
Many women are finding it rather
interesting TO make these strings of
beads for themselves and in this way
it is possible to have something more
individual.
Quite the latest fancy is to have n
girdI" of beads which matches the bead
ed necklace.

T LOVE boudoir pillows. The pres
ence of a dainty. bcruffled boudoir
pillow on the bed lends an appcaliugly
feminine touch that could be secured
in no other way. OF course, the pillow
cover must be fresh and clean. and by
the same token you'll need several
covers so that you can make frequent
changes. While boudoir pillow covers
generally are expensive, if you look
alive you can frequently pick up one at
an amazingly small price. The ones
have in mind are trimmed with lace of

The Spring That
Comes to Flanders

The spring that comes to Flanders
Goes by on silent feet,
Lest they should wake. remembering
How once the spring was sweet.
And streams that flow in Flanders
Past poppy field and hill
Are silver streams and shining.
But thoughtful streams and still.
The wind that blows in Flanders
Across the listening air
Is gentle with the grasses
That bend above them there.
And rain that falls in Flanders
Is tender as a prayer.
