LEARNING TO TALK
BY DIR. CHARLOTTE C. WEST

How eagerly you watch and wait
for baby's first articulate utterance.
His cooings and crowings give you
boundless delight; his "da da" fills
you with ineXpressible pride. Then,
if he is IL first child, you make be-
lieve that You understand his Ian
guage, for the faculty OF speech is a
most difficult one and is not as readi-
ly acquired by some children as by
others. Thus a child may speak ten
words at age of ten months and be
a normal baby, while another, equal
ly normal physically and mentally,
will speak hut six words at the age
sixteen months.
1t is quite a common thing for spe-
cialists to be consulted regNdlng
children in their second or third
year who are unable to express them
selves in words who are either dull,
or who content themselves by max
ing signs for what they want, II
the child is otherwise healthy and
normally developed there is no cause
for alarm. 1t often happens that such
n child will develop the faculty of
speech as though over night He
suddenly begins to talk.
The faculty of speech is develop.
ed by imitation. not by intuition, and
there are two ways in which this
development may be retarded. First
may be weak. while all his other fac
uities may be strong-in that case
his speech will develop slowly and
perhaps imperfectly; second, he may
have no companions and his little
life may be quite solitary and silent.
in which case he would have little
or no opportunity to initiate sounds.
Hearing plays as large a role IN
speech requirement as 1t does in mu-
sic. Children whose hearing is defec-
tive from birth usually are faulty in
speech. There are those who have no
ear for speech, just as some have no
ear for music.
In all cases of delayed or defective
speech, the child must be thoroughly
examined for any possible obstruc-
tions in the nose, throat and ears.
So simple a thing as tongue tie
may exist and, of course, more Sc
rfous conditions of the tongue and
palate which I cannot enter into now
but. the most important thing to
remember is: that speech is &C
CURED through imitation and to set
your child a good model. Avoid all
baby talk and encourage only good
forms of speech.

SAVING ANY MONEY?

1--WE been working for almost six
years and 1 have s4S saved up" said
a well-dressed young woman to me
one day, She laughed; apparently
she thought it great joke. 1 hap
pen to know that she was earning
an excellent salary as a buyer in
large New York department store,
that she had no one dependent on
her. but paid merely a nominal
board" at home. Most of the money
she earned was spent on herself.
I didn't think it was joke to
have saved only s4S in six years,
without having had any big eX-
penses to meet. However, I am suf-
ficiently sorry for this young woman
(although she doesn't see why |
should be) and for any others who
have made similar confession to
put the same question to the read
ers of this column:
How much money have you saved
up since you have been working?
Much? A little? Any? This is
good opportunity to take few min
utes off to think about this business
of saving money. ] want to tell You

he is SO humble and cringing to his
superiors in the bank that they have
no respect for him.

If the suit is major suit ana
partner has the other three suits
protected. a proper warning would
be a take-out to no-trumps. Fall
ing protection in the other three
suits, it is advisable to go to the
strongest silt having less game-go-
ing value than the suit bid.
The higher suit bid over a smaller
SUIT is not a warning. When an
original no-trump bid has been
made and next-in-ha bids suit
which the partner of the no-trump
can not stop, it is well for him to
declare such strength as he pos
sesses by declaring his best suit,
counting his losers subtracted from

you hold something with which to

HOUSEKEEPING HINTS

Every woman loves attractive tow
els and no article seems so much to
express hospitality and the home
standard as do towels and bath ac-
cessories. Plain designs wear best
and are neat looking and the fewer
the sizes and patterns the simpler the
laundry problem will be. Towels to-
day are much smaller than formerly.
large towels are heavy and cumber-
some to use and wash. Plain ''huck"
towels of good quality are most dur
able and good looking. Choose
Turkish or bath towels where the
loop of the knitting is very small
and fine not coarse in mesh, or the
loops will fray. A face towel in
22X3S-inch size is desirable; a hand
or guest towel is 15X24. Scalloped
edges do not wear so well as plain
hems while the hemstitched edge on
any linen looks attractive but wears
the poorest of all as there is danger
of the entire hem being pulled off in
the laundry.
Sheets and blankets come in
standard sizes, according to the sin
sic or double bed they are to fit. Do
not make the mistake of ordering
htets that are too short. There
should be a considerable Gverhans to
allow tucking the sheet under the
mattress at each side, about 10
inches. and also very important, adj
ditional length at both top and bot
tom. In Texas there is state, law
regulating the length of the sheet in
hotels and anyone who has slept in
short sheets will be In favor of It.
Sheets for single beds come GO inches
wide by so. SO or 80 inches long.
Sheets for a double bed come 80
inches wide by the same length as
for single beds. Pillow cases are one
yard wide in any desired length.
Whose initials shall be used to
mark linen and where shall the
monogram be placed? 1t is some
times the custom to use the first

HARD-BO|LED SOULS
by SOPHIE IRENE LOEB

ON the outskirts of our great city
a young girl is breaking her heart.
She has come from small village
to live with her sister because she
could not stand the hard boiled peo-
pie that made up the section in
which she was born and in which
most of her years were spent.
1t seems that man, a traveller,
camo to the town and won the girls
heart. Her parents did not approve
of him. but she eloped and married
him. Afterward she found he had
another wife living.
She returned home and while her
parents understood, forgave her and
took her back into the fold her life
was made miserable by the curious
stares and cruel attitude that con-
stantly confronted her.
She could bear the burden no long
er. While nobody said anything to
her about it, she could feel the criti-
cism OF her mistake, for mistake 1t
was.
A funny thing, the conscience of
some people, Had this man been I'M

What stupidity is practiced in the
name of responsibility. What the
world needs most is to soften the
hard boiled variety of individual.
Maybe it will take a club and few
years to do it, but that is what is
most vital in the march of civiliza-
ton.
One often wonders if they even
understand the clasp of a sympa-
thetic hand, the tender voice with
words of love upon which the whole
world moves, when all is said and
done.
Usually they have hardened their
even their souls have become hard
boiled and invulnerable.
They live and die without having

sweetness of sentiment which makes
for the highest kind of humanity.
They are human machines who grind

finding.
The attitude they might have
taken was that she was more to be
pitied than blamed" but pity is akin
to love, and miserable people like
these do not know the meaning of

Yet there is hope that in the near
horizon of human endeavor such
people are being given the cold
shoulder by broadminded civilization.
Soon they will find themselves out

WALL PAPER PANELS

There is a new development in the
treatment of wall paper nowadays.
The wall paper manufacturers have
seen a great light, and are not merely
advertising extensively. but are
sending out new ideas regarding the
placing of paper On the walls of our
homes.
Personally l have never been very
fond of wall paper. Its obtrusive all
over patterns make confusing back
grounds for pictures, especially when
the figures are large and SCROLL
like, with convlutions which the eye
tries to follow unconsciously Bed
room papers, with upland down
stripes and little lunches of flow
ers, are SO innocuous that they take
the character out Of any room with
a definite decorative scheme. The
simpler and less conspicuous the
wall, the better will the pictures
sconces, and pieces eff furniture stand
out from it; and If the wall is to be
without any pattern at ALL to my
mind, a stippled paint or rough
finished plaster in a putty color. gray
or cream, is much more attractive.
But now that the decorators and
the plan of setting the patterned
paper into panels on the walls, 1 feel
differently. Not all rooms look we'll
with large number of pictures on
the walls. A bedroom, for example,
is much more restful with simple
walls containing few if any pic
lures. A dining room is, l think,
better for having only a few wall or
naments. such as large brass or silver
placques, candelabra. and similar ar
ticles. rather than pictures. Let is
in the rooms there are large expanses
of wall which cannot be filled with
sconces. placques an mirrors, and
which must not be allowed to look
bare and empty.
For all such rooms, 1 think the
new arrangement of wall paper set
In panels is charming solution.
The wall space is pleasantly broken.
and the pattern of the paper. which
would be unbearable if it covered the
whole wall, is also pleasantly broken
up. Even a large design is in often
sive if it is framed in by a plain
( moldng, and of course the color and
design used in this way fill a wall as
a plain painted or plastered surface
