As a Child Sees.

Every father has been shocked at
some time or other by discovering his
child's opinion or impression of him.
He recognizes what he knows to be
but an immaterial phase of his char
acter. a mere idiosyncracy, and WON
ders how the child came to believe 1t
characteristic of him. He Is hurt to
find his child SO unappreciative.
What 90 children see when they look
at US? That is rather important when
we remember that what they see
often they are likely to become
through practice.
Children see only what their ex-
perience has taught them to see. They
see only what they have a back
ground for and understand on the
basis Of that background. They see
with their minds, which are made
of experiences.
Children love candy. 1t would never
do to let them eat all they wanted of

good for you"
A lady who had a little daughter
that was forced to hear this formula

Every afternoon when she had
changed her dress she settled herself
for an hour "of solid comfort" She

At Last! The Perfect Way
To Carry Your Own Loose Face Powder

never before seen any vanity so
convenient and so beautiful.
Now that we have told you Of
the perfect vanity. let us tell you
about the perfect face powder La
May Face Powder is more than or
binary powder. because it does more
than just cover complexion
blemishes. This improved formula
contains medicinal powders that
doctors and dermatologists pre-
scribe to improve the complexion,
to remedy skin irritations and to
reduce enlarged pores. 1t stays on
perfectly and does not contain any
rice powder or white lead. In fact,
you will be given five thousand dol
lars reward If you can get any
chemist to find that La-May con-
tains either of these harmful in
gradients. Because La-May is so
pure and SO harmless and because it
stays on SO well it is used by mill
lions of intelligent women in pref
erence to the most expensive i'm
ported powders: they know there is
no better powder made than La
May. Save this notice.

Your Home and

Windows A-Bloom.
NY HELEN KENDALL.

In my garden record where l
keep an account of planting and
blooming to guide me in my flower
growing. find an entry made exactly
a year ago today:
FILLED the window boxes with
pansies and English daisies"
How we'll I remember their saucy
spring beauty! There was very little
color in the garden then, for the
first early tulips had come reluctantly
into bloom only the day before, as we
had had a week Of chilly. frosty
weather following Easter. The GRO
cuses were all gone and the daffodils
were not in sight from the house.
And then. all Of a sudden, the living
room windows burst into joyous
color-brought home from the flower
market in a big basket and trans
planted directly into the boxes.
Here's a spring delight that liter
ally everybody may have, living in
the country or the city. And why
more city folk don't fill their win
dow sills with bloom. 1 never can
understand In England they do.
There's hardly window. even of the
humblest hovel, that doesn't have it's
street and alley there is a double
layer of flowers.
Pansies and the little pink English
daisies are SO cheap that they are
within reach of everyone, and they
greatly prefer the cold. brisk air of
early spring to the warmer days that
follow. A plain wooden box, which
any member of the family could
knock together, can be filled for
well, say dollar-with enough pansy
and daisy plants to bring the garden
to your very window sash. A few
Inexpensive sprigs Of vine to hang
down over the box Wandering Jew
from the pot you have had indoors all
winter may be moved out now, and
you will send out floral greeting
to your entire neighborhood.
There is not much else that it is
safe to put out in the open air until
May comes. unless you sink few
pots of danfodils, narcissus and jon
quils into your window box. Later
you may replace the pansies and Eng
lish daisies with geraniums, petunias
or nasturtiums, but just now the
earliest spring blooms are tho ones
for you. Do start the fashion in
your street!

For years YOU have been trying
to find way to carry your favorite
loose powder. The new La-May
Sitter Vanity always gives you just
the right amount of powder on your
puff each time you open the cover.
Each time you fill it you can put
in enough powder to last about two
weeks. The puff seals the powder
in the box SO perfectly that it never
spills and even the large mirror in
side the cover never becomes coated
with powder. One side Of this new
box holds powder. the opposite side
rouge. There are two fine mirrors
and two hinged covers. thick soft
lambs wool powder puff. and yet it
is as thin as the ordinary single
vanity. 1t costs no more than old
