quilt and the whole effect was gay and delightful beyond words. An other material which it might not occur to one to use Is a damask tablecloth. discovered its possibili- ties last winter when decorating an apartment I had rented. I had some very large tablecloths that had been give nme some years ago. The idea occurred to me that they would make good outside curtains. The fact that the design Is different on each side is of no importance, as 1t is quite in distinct. They were dyed a lovely green and I hung them unlined as utside curtains. I was really sur prised with the result.
 In closing, l should like to give a few rules with regard to windows which everyone probably knows, but which are worth repeating. If one has a rug with many colors and a good deal of design in it, 1t is usual ly safer to have curtains of solid color. The inside and outside may contrast, but it is much better to have no figure in the material As said before, remember that part of the charm of a window is what one sees through it. Therefore, don't overdecorate it. Don't ever curtain the lower half of the window, leav-

 I suppose, as I have one myself, am a little partial to old and quaint houses, or to little apartments done quite informally. Perhaps it is be- cause this sort of place roes not need to be treated with as much respect" as the larger and more formal place, and because so many amusing experi- ments are possible. l remember charming pair of curtains which gave me an intense desire to run away with them. They were in quaint little room right in New York city. The owner had taken a lovely old patchwork quilt and cut 1t in four strips. which were used as bor- ders to the curtains, which were made of a material q can't remember what 1t was), the color of unbleached muslin.

"Ha, ha, ha" the loud voice of the Grotto Growler laughed when Rag gedy Ann and Raggedy Andy and Peter Pelican and Humpylumpy found that each of the cages they were locked In contained an ice cream soda water fountain.
 , That was the time I fooled you!"
 Now when I count three, all the cages will open and you must form in line and march out of the door at the back of the large room!
 Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy and Peter Pelican and Humpylumpy could not see the Grotto Growler, all though his voice sounded ever so loud.
 And sure enough, when he counted three the doors of the cages flew open and the Raggedys and Peter Pelican and Humpylumpy walked out through the door at the back of the room.
 Now, I wonder what the Grotto Growler intends doing with us?" Pe- ter Pelican said.
 He did not lave long to wait be- fore he and his friends found out for they had no more than entered tie large room than they heard a sound like hundreds of little fire crackers popping; and they could smell candy cooking.
 It's a crackerjack room!" Rag gedy Ann cried delightedly.
 "Ha. ha. hap the loud voice of the Grotto Growler laughed again. This is the time I fooled you again! You thought you were going to step into padding machine or something I'll betr

ARE YOU TACTFUL?

A short time ago an executive in large manufacturing concern was seeking an assistant, a high priced man, whose duty it woul be to rep resent this executive at meetings to callers and in many other ways.
 "A fine young fellow came in to see me this morning about the job" this executive told me. T was in clined to hire him but for one re- mark he made. As he was walking out he remarked to me: Aren't you look- ing a little paler and thinner than when I saw you last? Seems to me you've been ill.'
 By that one remark, according to this executive, this young man "queered" himself. He showed that he was lacking in tact, and tact was, above all, 8 requisite of the job. This executive wanted a man who would represent him and as he declared: T certainly wouldn't hire man who made stupid, tactless remark or that kind to every one"
 Do you know the use of tact In business? Do you know, in factS the meaning of tact? Tact is just say ing the right thing at the right time. It means that watever you say to another person will make him feel just a little better, not llttle worse That's all that tact involves in busi- ness or social life.
 Some times it is tactful in business to pretend that you have not heard certain remark; some times 1t IS tactful to say nothing, if you cannot say anything to make person feel better.
 It is tactless in an office to go over the head of one executive and to give directions to a subordinate under his management If some one claims to know you it is tactful, even if you do not remember that person, to act as if you do.
 Understand this, girls: Tact is not hypocrisy; 1t is merely having re- gard for the feelings of another, mak- ing him feel as you would ike to feel in a similar situation.
 To say to any one, in bushes or socially, that he looks sick or thin is a tactless remark. It may be the fact and you may believe it, but why make any one feel worried by tell ing him such thing
 Tactless persons are those who make thems selves readily liked because when they talk with others they make them feel better. Are you tactful?

MORE ABOUT WINDOWS AND
 CURTAINS

When was asked the other day if window shades were not being abolished, answered instantly and feelingly, ''No!" The idea of my ques- tioner seemed to be that they were being discarded because they were ugly. It Is certainly true that they are not things of beauty, but since oNe of the first points to be consid erHd in any well ordered house is tiaf. Then, too, they need never be seen if they are kept rolled up under the valance during the day-at night they are hidden from view by the drawn curtains.
 There are some charming varia- tions of the convential shade that may be used in bathrooms and liv- ing rooms. But before I speak of these I would like to say that the only shades for the bedroom are the shades that come in two tones. white on the inside and dark outside. which should appeal to those who do not like a dark green or blue shade. It Is necessary above all that 1t be pos sible to keep the light out of the
 
 am speaking of the room one offers to a guest. for ones own room de- bends upon individual taste.
 For the bathroom a glazed chintz of a gay design Is often very charm inf, and If one Is interested in pick ing up odd pieces of this material, this is one amusing way of using them. A few years ago I ran across a charming piece of old glazed chintz that was so tempting in price that I couldn't resist it in spite of the fact that I could think of no room in which it would quite go. Then l thought of my bathroom. I found that I had just enough to mak C shades I put them up unlined with a narrow blue fringe along the bot tom, the blue matching the blue in the design, and they look so lovely with the sun shining through them that I can never bear to roll them all the way up.
 There are many fascinating ma- terials being used for curtains these days. Of course, the decorator of the formal apartment or house is of ne- cessity more limited in her choice or rather I should say that she may not wander into the realm of odd ments as may the owner of the small, the quaint place. The former has wonderful taffetas, brocades, vel vets and all the fascinating chintzes to choose from if an English room Is

 Now" the Grotto Growler cried in his loud voice to Crookelookie, You must step into that cage over there and Raggedy Ann must lock the door" Then when Crookelookie had done this, for he was very much afraid, and Raggedy Ann had locked the cage door the Grotto Growler showed himself for the first time.
 "Ha, ha. hal" he laughed again in his loud voice, That's the time that I fooled you again' And indeed he had, for to the surprise of everyone, the Grotto Growler was only two inches high and the cutest little Elf the Raggedys had ever seen.

 Peter Pelican could not reply, for he was busy eating the fresh cracker jack and enjoying 1t as much as Raggedy Andy and Humplypmpy. But suddenly they heard a loud humping upon the door and then in walked Crookelookie, the Magician.
 He had his large magic book un der his arm and he laughed when he saw the Raggedys.

FOR MOTHERS
CULTIVATE CHILD'S MEMORY By DIR. CHARLOTTE c. WEST

Without memory-the capacity to remember-the mind is blank. Gull tivation of the mind depends upon ones ability to remember what we are taught, or read, or see. The tremendous scope of this faculty is so far from being appreciated that parents neglect one of the most inn portant duties they owe their chill dren by not seeing to it that the power to remember is cultivated to the utmost
 We are now living in an age where in to succeed in life every faculty must be alert. Memory assists every other faculty, and in order that this may be so, the child's health, espe- cially his special senses-hearing, sight and so on-must be as perfect as possible.
 Memory varies greatly. Some per sons are naturally endowed with it to an extraordinary extent, and it is subject to great notifications in the same person under different condl- tions of health and age.
 That the memory is deeply influ- enced by the state of ones health cannot be repeated too often.
 School children suffering from long standing diseases of the nose and throat do very poorly in their studies because their sense of memory is inn paired.
 Nervous shocks weaken the mem ory. Alcohol and tobacco alter the character by lowering its moral tone; therefore alcohol in any form, what soever should never be given to growing children.
 How can you cultivate your child's memory?
 First, remember that mental con centration forms the basis for good memory Make a practice of review ing the days happenings. Have your child recall, step by step, every trifle in the orderly manner of its occur renee.
 Children with defective memories should read paragraph slowly and deliberately, then recall as much of it as possible, repeating the process until it is memorized, if it takes a | 1y

JUNEAU DEMOCRATS
 MEET TONIGHT FOR ORGANIZATION TALK

Juneau Democrats have been call ed to meet this evening at o'clock at the office of Hellenthal ana Hellenthal. for the purpose of dis cussing organization matters and such other matters as may come before thine.
 This is the first sign of activity Juneau Democrats have shown since the campaign of 1920, the year of the great National Republican land- slide. The Democrats took prac- tically no part in the campaign in Alaska in 1922. but since the elec- tion last November when their party was successful in so many parts of the country they have shown more interest in organization matters. The feeling among them that the Democratic Party may win the next National election has caused many of them to feel that the Democrats of Alaska should be organized and prepared to do their part.

Most all of them were business seekers.
 Hotel accommodations in Russia are still so limited. particularly in Moscow, that the government has not yet found it advisable to admit large numbers of tourists Every one must have some legitimate busi- ness reason before he can secure his visa.
