Teasing Children.

There are some people so distorted
OF mind as to think 1t funny to tease
a child to tears or tantrums. 1t Is too
bad that there is not somebody big
enough and angry enough to take
such a one by the scruff of the neck
and shake him loose. He is O. At sub
ject for attention from the Society for
the Prevention Of Cruelty to Chill
dren.
I'm reminded Of this because of what
happened in my office one day not
long ago. A big. bony, hollow-eyed
ing about her face stormed in to
complain at the top of her voice that
a neighbor's boy had insulted her by
calling her every name he could lay
tongue to the evening before. 1 listen

lot of bad temper and then told her 1
would have a talk with the boy.
wondered what the lad could pos
sibly have had to do with her. for he
belonged to a family blocks and
blocks away, and he was not that
sort of boy at all. Indeed. he was quite
the reverse, gentle and kindly. and al
ways on the lookout to be of assist
ance.

gan to worry a little. Some of the
things the tall, dark lady had said
were not pleasant to remember.
But why?"
After school I deliver groceries and
l have to go to her house every day
almost. Her niece has a little boy and
they live with her. His mother goes
out to work and he's home with her
Well, she leases that kid something
awful She does 1t specially when
there is anybody round. She calls him
spider and he hates that and she
calls him mouse face and dog-nose
and bones and scrap of nothin', and
nut and dope, and any other pet name
she can think about.
"I got to thinking about that kid
and his crying all the time on account
of her meanness and / got a list Of
all the names / could get from the
boys and the books and what 1 knew
self and made them into a riot. When
she began calling the kid mouse face,
just let her have all there was of 1t. She
got so mad she wanted to kill me.
Then I passed the word along to all
the kids, and if she says anything
to the little fellow, they hand her
some of her own medicine. I bet she
let's him alone"
I bet she will too. If you could see
that list, that riot, you would feel
safe to wager on il too.
Mr.. Patri will give personal attention to
inquiries from parents or school teachers
on the care and development of children.
Write him in care of this paper, inclosing
self addressed stamped envelope for reply.

It hadn't entered the mind of Reddy
Fox that Peter Rabbit would go into
the house of Johnny Chuck. He hadn't
thought that Peter would dare do
such a thing. So he had felt sure
that at last he was about to catch
Peter Rabbit He had Peter cornered.
At least he thought he had. That
stone wall right there was too high
for Peter to jump over, and nowhere
was there a space big enough Tor
Peter to squeeze in between the stones
Of the wall. So Reddy licked his lips
as he thought Of the rabbit breakfast
he was to have
And then Peter had dived headf1rst
through the doorway of Johnny
Chuck's house. Reddy had had part
Ing glimpse of Peters long heels and
then Polly Chuck's twinkling black
heels had taken their place as she
followed Peter. Almost at once john
ny Chuck filled that doorway and be-
gan to scold angrily and growl and
snarl and work himself into great
rage Reddy lost his temper for a
moment or two. Perhaps 1t was be-
cause of his surprise and disappoint-
ment. He knew that even had he
wanted to he couldn't dig open that
homo for the entrance was between
two big stones. In that house Peter
Rabbit was perfectly safe from him.
So Reddy lost his temper for a min
ute, and because there was no one
else to quarrel with he began snarl-
ing back at Johnny Chuck. But 1T was
only for a minute or two. Reddy's s
wits are quite as quick as Peter Rab-
bits, and in the midst of that quarrel
1t popped into Reddy's head that II
wasn't at all likely that Polly Chuck
would allow Peter Rabbit to stay in
her house, especially when he hadn't
been invited there. In that case what
would Peter do? He would go out the
back way. of course. There must be
back door. Johnny and Polly Chuck
were too old and experienced to make
a home with only one way in or out
But where could that back door be!
1t probably was more or less hidden
There wouldn't be any sand on the
doorstep to give it away.
Reddy paid no more attention to
Johnny Chuck, who still sat in his
doorway. He sat down and studied
the situation. He made up his mind
that there was no back door on that
side of the old stone wall.
1T is on tho other side, Of course!'
exclaimed Reddy to himself. How

What Tomorrow Means to You

Aries.
Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
quite benign throughout the day, and
do not change until late in the eve-
ming, when they become distinctly ad-
verse. While they are favorable ali
Sunday exercises and recreations Will
be productive only of contentment and
pleasurable qualification. When the
change occurs, after dusk, 1t Will be
found very necessary to exercise
much self-restraint, and to maintain
poise and equilibrium, in order to
avoid anger, guard against disap-
pointment and prepare yourself for
any untoward thing that may occur
or unpleasant words that may be
uttered.
The child that makes it's advent
tomorrow WILL. above all things, re-
quire more than ordinarily careful
nutrition, in order that 1t may be
fortified to resist the ailments from
which 1t will suffer, and that it may
be properly developed along physical
lines. 1t Will also need much teach
ing-both by precept and example
to enable IL to fight the good fight
and obtain mastery over itself and Its
inclinations. This child will, prob
the proper "bringing-up' methods be
employed, they will bear fruit, and
the child that, in its early youth, may
cause you much anguish of spirit
and serious misgivings, will grow UP
imbued with right ideas and sound
prin nciples
What do the signs indicate about
those whose birthday Is tomorrow?
They denote an all too confding dis
position, a tendency to tell your
troubles to the whole world, and an
impulsiveness that only causes mis-
takes to be made-mistakes, some
times, that are very difficult TO set
right. You are extremely affectionate
-gushingly so; but your attachments
are more of the nature of infatua-
tions than real romance. Your friend
ships, while they last, are Quixotic,
but unfortunately, are evanescent.
Your character, although "simpatico,"
lacks the foundation Of solidity and
constancy, and you are rarely, II ever,
the recipient Of others condolences.
You possess ready wit, love good
reading and can make yourself very
companionable. Your material sue
cess Is limited, as you soon tire of
the drudgery of routine and are

stupid of me not to have thought Of
that at once"
With this he leaped up on the old
wall and hastily looked all about for
glimpse of Peter Rabbit But Pc
ter was nowhere to be seen. Reddy
jumped down, and as he did so he
heard faint scolding voice that
seemed to come out of the ground. He
cooked his black ears and listened.
Then he softly stole over to q low
place in the old wall and there, be-
tween some stones, he discovered the
back door. The scolding stopped.
Evening star., 1925-03-28

Polly Chuck had heard or smelled
him.
Reddy put his keen little black nose
to the ground. At once he smelIed
Rabbit Then Reddy knew that Peter
had escaped. He knew that while he
had been quarreling with Johnny
Chuck on the other side of the wall
Peter had come out of this back door
and had by this time found a safe
hiding place between the stones
farther along in the old wall. 1t was
a great disappointment, of course. He
had counted on a Rabbit breakfast.
But, after all, a Mouse breakfast
would do very we'll. In fact, he wasn't
sure but that he would prefer 4
Mouse breakfast, come to think about
it, He could have the Rabbit break
fast some other day-perhaps. So
Reddy trotted off down on the Green
Meadows, and there he must have
breakfasted very well indeed, to
Judge by the satisfied look on his
face as little later he started for his
home.

work lends itself admirably to these
spreads. Sometimes the entire CEN
ter OF the spread will be one large
motif of filet lace, with the hand
knotted filet mesh exquisitely work ed
in lace stitches to carry out some
favorite pattern. Sometimes the
edges OF the spreads are of this
same kind of real lace, inches In
depth. Or, again. the edges are en-
broidered. Spreads having cluny
lace motifs are in moderate demand
Scrim, lace edges and having inser-
ton banding and centers are other
styles of sheer spreads that are liked.
scnnoped Edges.
The finish of the edges of spreads
has swung from fringe to scallops
These scallops may be large, of vary
ing widths or of small inch size
Shapes OF bedspreads vary also. The
easiest to fit on bedstead are those
with the cut-out corners and that
have the separate sham portions
However, there are plenty OF spreads
with corners unshaped.
Spreads Simple or Dressy.
The stenciled, ripplet seersucker
spreads are just the things for
Summer cottage service. They are
not without their decorative elements
with the traceries in color, and they
appeal because of the simplicity OF
laundering. To be sure, none of the
ripplet spreads should be ironed. but
it is difficult to associate simplicity
silk kinds. These are distinctly
dressy. So also are the lace and
embroidered spreads. Scrim spreads
are not, nor are the artistic India
print or English print tweeds, which
are delightful for Summer service.
Small Pillows Dress Beds.
II is dificult to think of the deco
rative elements of beds without con-
sidering the fashion for pillows OF
various shapes and sizes, each with
its own dressy pillow cover. These
are piled up against the large pillows
with their sham covers. Such dainty
pillows are a great comfort. espe-
cially to those who do not sleep we'll
One of the wee pillows can be tucked
under the head to give it just the
right restful angle; another can be
slipped under the back or under the
arm, ETC., and make the comfortable
mattress still more downy.
French Dolls Decorative.
An ornamental way OF dressing W
a bed is to have one OF the dolls that
now feature in interior decoration
placed among the wee pillows. She
looks quite regal in her smart frock
as she reclines against the array OF
pillows.
Colored Silk Innings.
Since lace spreads must have un-
derslips, and of color if they bring
out the full beauty Of the gossamer
lace, a thrifty way is to use the
under side of silk-covered down
quilt for the purpose. The outside OF
the quilt probably will be of fancy
silk with a plain border. This solid
color forms the entire back of the
quilt. which makes an excellent lin
ing for the lace coverlid.
Evening star., 1925-03-28

A bed is a conspicuous part of the
furniture of a chamber. Therefore
il is important TO have il add q de-
cided note of decoration. Apart from
the style of the bedstead, its type
material and construction, the dress
ing up of the bed is a chief factor in
It's ornamental appearance. The
home maker can have several ways OF
decorating it according to prevailing G
styles. Just now there are many
ideas that can be daintily put to use,
according to the kind Of spread
chosen.
Crinkly crepe is in high favor in
whatever form IL comes, silk, arti-
ficial silk, mercerized cotton, or plain
white cotton. The older generation
will know this last kind under the
more familiar name of seersucker
counterpanes, the sort that always
were desirable because they required
no ironing. The more modern name
is ripplet, which the dictionary de-
fines as a small ripple. 1t is very
descriptive of the style of these
spreads.
Vogue of Color.
An outstanding feature of up-to-
date spreads is their color. Many
come in one tone, most come in a
color with a design brought out In
another, while the usual seersucker
varieties have designs stamped on
them reputed to be wash-fast. These
patterns are geometrically arranged,
outlinging the top of the bed, mark
ing off the pillowsham portion, If
these are not separate pieces, and
forming borders or motifs near the
edges that fall over the sides and
foot of the bed-without tucking in.
ColorS and CrosS-bars
The silken crinkly spreads certainly
are ornamental. They simmer fas-
clnatin gly~when the light plays over
their delicate hues. They have rich,
mellow tones when in shadow. They
come in so many colors that they can
conform to any color scheme devel-
oped in the decoration OF a tearoom.
A strikingly new idea Is found in the
cross bar designs, indicating that the
cross-line motif is not exclusive to
puzzles! The cross-bars may be mar
row pencil" stripes or be broader
and have designs introduced in the
weave. Speaking OF color, l may say
that rose is a prime favorite and
yellow is a close second, which seems
10 be gradually increasing in favor.
The mauve, lilac or orchid shades are
appealing. 1t is imperative, how
ever, that the shade of the spread
correspond with the color scheme of
the room.
CandIevfck Spreads.
Candlcwick spreads are preferred
10 any others by some home deco
rators. These are handmade, some
times having the outstanding tufts in
the usual unbleached tone of the cot
ton cloth foundation, and sometimes
having them done in color. Since
color is a main feature of bed deco
ration this season, the colored tufts
are smartest.
Lace and Embroidery.
The bedspread de luxe is Of real
lace and handle embroidery. It is not
unusual to have the price climb to
such heights as $3.50 each. Reticelli
