MAKING THE HOME ATTRACTIVE
BY DOROTHY ETHEL WALSH.
Cheerful Rooms Make Happy
Youngsters.

Do not say to yourself when deco
rating Young HopefuIs room: He is
only a child. we need not take much
thought of the furnishings"
Because youth is so impressionable
1t is important that its surroundings
be pleasing. Its first idea of this old
planet should be that it is a happy
place on which to have alighted. and
how can they think that when the
things associated with their daily
lives are old and shabby, made up Of
odds and ends which will do for
the children's room?
l realize that in many home odds
and ends from the living room must
find places elsewhere when new arti-
cles are bought for that important
part of the home. 1 am not urging
you to only consider new things for
the children>s room. but pot of paint
in happy hue will work wonders in
bringing odds and ends into harmony.
There are many small touches
which may be added which will also
go far toward instilling an optimistic
point of view in Young Hopefurs
mind. The illustration shows, for in
stance, a strip of wallpaper which
depicts scenes from Mother Goose
This paper may be bought and tackled
onto the wall instead of pictures.
What youthful mind could conjure
any but optimistic visions with as
dear friends as tom, Tom, the
Piper's Son" and Little Boy Blue
so near?

Elsie is perfectly right. There is no
law to compel her to take her hus-
bands name. Neither is there any
better argument for a wife taking
her husbands name than for hus-
band taking a wife's. But there is
mighty good reason why they should
share some common name, which she
has overlooked-and that reason Is
common sense.
Nine-tenths Of our social forms are
based. not on morality or justice or
ethics of any form, but simply on
people in this world and they must
transact great deal of business. For
the sake of ouf mutual comfort and
profit we've established certain ar
rangements by which we can transact
that business with the least fuss. one
of those arrangements concerns the
taking of the husbands name by the
wife. 1t might just as we'll be the
taking of the wife's name by the hus-
band, but since the husband is gen.
orally the financial head and trans
acts the business, his name has been
tification of himself. wife and chill
dren. 1t involves no fundamental in
Justice nor does it limit the wife's ex-
preston of her individuality. provid-
ed she has one to express. It's simply
human convenience.
Now the man or woman who fights
actual evil, and who sacrifices COM
fort, defies intrenched power and
overturnS wrong usage to achieve his
ends, is a hero. But the man or wom-
an who merely fights universal con-
venience in order to be put on record
as a fighter is a selfish. silly egotist
and every right-minded reformer will
resent his action.
Miss Elsie feels that she has made
splendid gesture for women by re-
fusing to bear her husbands name.
She has, indeed. merely stuck out her
tongue at society and added to that
reputation for hysterical and unbal-
anced action which the feminine Sex
has borne so long and to its sorrow.

well without 1t.
To them the red-the color of blood,
OF fire, ripe fruits-is vastly more
significant. The Egyptians never
used green in their temple decora-
tions until the period of their degen-
when Europeans suffered or imagined
they did from general welt schmerz
that they turned most eagerly to
green-they dreamed of cool woods
and fresh meadows while they dwelt
and wrote and loved and sighed in
cities of brick and stone. The primi-
tive who passes his days amidst ver-
dant surroundings is always most
eager for the bright reds. blues. yell
lows and oranges.
Toward the close of the last CEN
tury we went through a prolonged
perversion toward green interiors.
We papered our houses in green. had
our lights in green and chose green
pottery because 1t seemed more es-
thetic. We swung away from that,
and only within the past few years
have the decorators brought green
back into favor-sparingly. to be
ness than 1t wassused before.
But perhaps the interest in green
in clothes means nothing at all. save
that dressmakers have found it a
smart color to combine with black
or white tones that are of immense
lWpoEtduCc III TIC present uTeSS pro-
gram. And Of course If you are wor-
ried lest green really does indicate
a melancholy state Of affairs. you
may dwell on that other fact-that
red. strawberry red, tomato red, tor
eador red. is immensely popular too.
Some Of the newest importations
show striking green decorations on
black or white frocks. 1t is a clever
thing. think the French dres smak-
ers, to put chenille embroidery of
bright green on a background of
black crepe de chine.
The all-green frock remains more
exclusive, possibly because-unless
you have a great many frocks-you
rather hesitate about anything so
unusual. And not one woman in ten
can wear green becomingly.
Cheruit has made suit of almond
green perllaine that has attracted at
tention in Paris. 1t Is a simple thing
draped up on the left side, To go
with it there is a jacket of the same
material banded at the bottom with
velour frappe, which is used to form

gus notice the size of the bunch.
There is no standard number Of
stalks for q bunch of asparagus and
their sizes varies considerably. Buy
asparagus early in the day, in order
to get 1t fresh. The careful grocer
does not expose an entire crate of
asparagus at once, but keeps surplus
stock in some cool place. where it
will not be exposed to dust and dirt.
II possible buy a bunch of asparagus
that has not been on exhibition.
l AS to the color of asparagus-you
may have your own preference. They
say that in New England and the
| southern states the preference is al
ways for the green sort. In the west
and northwest white asparagus is the
sort preferred, while in the middle
states honors are divided.

Asparagus Returns

Asparagus and green peas are usu-
the favoTite vegetable. If you took
the trouble to inquire among, let US
say, fifty of your friends for the
name of their favorite vegetable you
would probably find these two vegeta-
bles in the lead.
And asparagus has this advantage
over green peas, 1t comes to US in
the spring of the year, when we have
so little else in the way of fresh
vegetables that we are wont to look
forward to the first fresh asparagus
of the season as something of an
event.
Asparagus, we are told. was a IA
vorite vegetable among the Romans.
1t has been under cultivation for
thousands Of years. but until COM
paratively recently it has always
been a vegetable found only on the
tables Of the well-to-do. Even now 1t
Is not cheap. There are plenty of
people who. in order to have aspara-
gus for dinner, go without meat for

Manners.

>"Manners maketh man." is an old
English saying, which is hardly an
exaggeration, for manners in some
sense determine what one human be-
ing thinks Of another, and all humans
respond in some degree to the idea
that others have of them. The very
word manners" in older days meant
the same as morals. or ethics. In
Latin and Greek morals and ethics
have no other meaning than manners
Polite. word SO closely associated
with manners, means polished; it
really comes from the word city"
and gets its later meaning from the
idea of polish acquired by the inter-
course Of many different people in a
city. The notion of the countryman
ciated with his isolation, of the city
man as polite. with the city mans
obligation to associate with others,
thus having the, sharp corners of his
personality rubbed off and left
smooth and rounded.
A baby, of course, can hardly be
said to have manners. But genera
tions Of polite forbears do show al
ready in the year-old child. Instinc-
tive, in the strict sense. good man
nerS cannot be called, but every
human being experiences the need Of
dealing with others and of being
dealt with by others. Therefore every
human being needs good manners in
himself and in those around him
There Is certainly an innate sense of
the value of courtesy to which one
may appeal. even in a very young
child.
II children are to be polite, they
must be trained. both by example and
by precept. The example of courtesy
trains that innate sense of its yaIne
1t works subconsciously. If one is
unfailingly courteous to ones child
and to the other members of ones
nousehold, the child will inevitably
respond. But. in SO far as manners
are matters of form and custom
rather than of feeling, they must be
taught explicitly. in so. many words
and by constant drilling.
