By MIMI.
BY MIMI.
The Professional Knocker.

If only there could be drawn UP
complete set Of rules to guide the
young girl in choosing her husband
wouldn't it be convenient!
But there aren't any general rules
to be set down. It's impossible Tor me
to tell you all just what qualities IN
man will make you happy Tor Ire.
However, occasionally it's possible 10
drop a hint as to the sort of thing to
avoid. There are certain little signs
of weakness in the boy friend Wnlcn
point to traits undesirable in nus
band.
Nobody wants you to watch your
poor victim suspiciously, waiting to
pounce on his every flaw. But keep
your eyes open wide enough to note
serious faults.
Here's an important thing to think
about: How does he talk about other
people? When he's discussing other
boys what's his general tone? Does
he pass them all with some remark
like Sure, they're good fellows; nice
crowd. Jacks a peach of boy. Yes,
he's darn good worker; getting
ahead in business"
Does he rate other men by the
abilities they display, or does he razz
them for what he doesn't like about
them. Jimmie? Yes, he gets by all
slow. He'll never amount to any
thing That sort of remark may be
perfectly justified. Jimmie may be
fiat tire. II you know this to be the
case, you can pass that comment with
an o. K.
But now suppose the boy friend
goes on about Tom. and Dick, and
Harry, and Joe. and all the rest OF
them, telling you fatty that not one
of them amounts to a row Of pins.
Won't your belief in him begin to fade
a trifle? If you know that some OF
the boys he mentions are worthwhile
in every way, you'll begin to wonder
where he gets off giving them such
low rating. And if you're truthful
with yourself, even on the subject OF
the wonderful man you're in love
with. you'll have to admit that he's
not really big. If he were. he wouldn't
take such pains to criticize other men
as capable, and even more so, than
himself.
It's a bad sign in a. man, this in
ability 10 hand the credit to other
men. 1t shows an exalted sense of
self. 1t means that you'll find your
self tied up to a large bump of con-
ceit; that you'll grow weary of his
constant fault finding with those of
your friends whom you admire and
know to be admirabe~
The man who isn't willing to admit
the ability of others has something
small somewhere in his makeup. And
he's also got a dangerous sense of his
own Importance which may lead you
both into trouble some day. If you
hear the boy friend getting out the
old hammer whenever another man Is
mentioned, try to train him out Of the
habit. . -
While he's mad1y IN love with you
you've got more chance of making him
over than you'll ever have again.
Make him admit others good points.
Get him in the habit of giving credit
where credit is due. Avoid married
life with n professional knocker They
never make the most successful busi-
ness men or husbands.

Hello. Neighbor Fox. What have
you there?" inquired Barker.
IT'S a SHE'LL said Reddy. II have
found ever so many of these shells,
but / never have found one with any
thing in it.
Where have you looked?" inquired
Barker.
Everywhere, replied Reddy.
Excepting in the water" said
Barker. chuckling again.
They look to me like some kind of
a clam, and clans are usually in the
mud or sand. have dug them up lots
Of times" said Reddy.
you won't dig one OF these fellows
up." replied Barker. "Well, we'll,
well, what do you know about that?"
Barker was staring out over the
water. Just beyond where he was the
water was clear and smooth and the
bottom beneath was sandy. He was
staring out over this stretch of water.
Reddy stared, too. Did you see
that?" cried Barker.
Did I see what?" demanded Reddy,
who hadn't seen anything at all ex-
cept the water.
Just watch out there" replied
Barker.
Reddy watched. He saw a little

other, and another Then he thought
he saw a glimpse Of something in the
water. which came quickly up to the
top and disappeared. From where he
| was he couldn't see very well. What
is it?" he demanded.
Its party of the very things
you've been talking about. They are
having great time swimming out
there" replied Barker.
What have been talking about p
demanded Reddy. forgetting all about
his shell.
"The owners Of shells Just like the
one you have there" replied BARKER
Those are scallops, and they GER
tainly are queer swimmers. For a
shellfish. they get along pretty fast
and easily"
do you mean to tell me that they
can swim?" cried Reddy. 'How can
anything that lives in couple of
shells like this swim?'
"Oh. they do it easily enough" re-
piled Barker. They simply flap those
shells like a pair Of wings. They
move about a good deal and that's
why you don't find them where you
find the clans. You don't find them
burying themselves in the mud. Not
much, One day there will be a great
number of them in here and the next
day they will be all gone"

What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
favorable. and remain so until quite
late in the evening. A spirit of collr-
age and self-assurance will be Sensed
and these qualities will. of course,
materially help forward to a success
full fruition any special work or en-
deavOr in which you may be inter
ested. 1t is not so much an occasion
for the initiation of any untried enter
prise. but rather a propitious oppor-
tunity for the solving of some prob
lem that has hitherto caused you
worry. Lawyers and inventors will
apparently be among those most
favored by the prevailing influences,
although their beneficent atmosphere
will prove profitable to all those who
may be grappling with difficulties.
Children born tomorrow will cause
very little trouble, on physical
grounds, during infancy. This i'm
munity to childhood ailments should
not engender Indifference to proper
nutrition and environment, as the
outcome Of the illness to which they
will be in all probability subjected in
their teens will very much depend
on the way in which they have been
reareed. Their characters will be self
reliant and, if left to their own de-
VICES, IISy VIII AIlt StSCL ~
safe and a correct course. They will
be earnest students, full Of ambition
and energy. Failure will only make
them more determined to succeed and
the signs denote that they will
travel far"
If tomorrow is your birthday, you
have much executive ability, backed
up by sound and reliable judgment.
You are never satisfied to play "sec
ond fiddle" to any one. but always
like to take a leading part in any
thing in which you are interested and
are. possibly. q wee bit too fond Of
the limelight. Your abilities fit you
to be "a big frog in a little pond"
as you would never be content to be
"a little frog in a big pond" You
are a good talker and quite convinc-
ing in an argument. If you are COM
petent and honest enough with your
self to know your own limitations,
you will realize that you are not des-
tined to handle satisfactorily any
large undertaking but that your sue
cess lies along more modest lines.
Your impulses are generous but
never to the point of forgetting your
own welfare. Your home life Is har-
monious, but you have many and
varied outside interests.

date are: Jay Cooke, financier: Hor-
ace White. journalist and author;

What Climate for Asthma ?

An Illinois man asks whether
change of climate will relieve him of
bronchitis, from which he suffers
mainly in the Winter season. the at
tacks then sometimes going into
bronchial asthma" He has found the
climate of northern Wisconsin kind to
his trouble in the Summer, which he
ascribes to the dry atmosphere and
higher altitude of that region. lie
wonders whether a place where the
Winters are long and cold and the
atmosphere clear would be better the
year around.
A Michigan woman asks for a dis
cussion of bronchial asthma. and par
ticularly the relation of climate TO this
disease.
Similar inquiries come in daily. Al
though it had not occurred to me be-
fore, l had formed a general impress
sion that bronchial asthma is less
prevalent in the northern and moder-
ately elevated regions than it is i'll the
southern and lower attitudes. but since
I began keeping tabs OH such inquiries
/ have found that l receive relatively
as many from, say. the vicinity ol
Duluth, Mimi. as from Newark, \. j..
| which may be ascribed to chance, and
so may the bronchial asthma rate in
a given region.
The Illinois mans trouble may not
| be bronchial asthma at all. His brief
description rather suggests chronic
! bronchitis with emphySena. An an
nually recurring Winter cough is or
dinarily due to chronic bronchitis. AC-
| companying chronic bronchitis in
many cases there is dilation or bal

of course, but in the majority of cases

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. c. G. s. writes:
II find your column very helpful
in many ways and am asking your
advice. My baby boy. weighing S4
pounds at birth, now at eight months
weighs 10 pounds and has six teeth.
He is very healthy and good natured,
but he does not sleep over four hours
all during the day. though he sleeps
all night. He isn't really i'll but on
hot days he is very irritable and has
running off" of the bowels. which
irritates him. He is bottle fed and is
very fond of water. VIII all he wants
hurt him? give him prepared
food with lime water. but I do not
feed him on a time schedule. Would
you suggest doing so? =
II dress him in a cotton and wool
shirt, diaper and romper suit. but he
breaks out with the heat. Would it
do any harm to leave his shirt off on
hot days." ..
Answer.-The baby is a fine weight,
but ! think he would be much better
off on a simple milk formula now,
instead Of what you are feeding him.
He can have all the water he wants
to drink on hot days and when there
is any trouble with the bowels it
would be better to make the food
much weaker. The lime water can be
omitted. Also if he is being fed ir
regularly this would tend to make
him cross and irritable because on
Just those days when he should be fed
less, he is probably so cross that you
give him even more feedings. You
can see what bad policy this would
be.
Let him wear only the knitted band
(sleeveless). diaper and thin slip and
he should not suffer with the heat.
He needs some protection over his
abdomen. but he doesn't need a long
sleeved shirt, and especially one with
wool in It. When there is q heat rash,
reduce the amount of wool and the
number Of clothes always.

employed sometimes in flower work
and other exquisite tapestry en-
broidepy The maj jority of the work
is done in gros, or large, point. Be
| sure in making these stitches that all
lines going one way on the front of
the work go also in a uniform way on
the back portion. That is. If stitches
slant on the right side they should be
in straight, parallel lines on the
under side. If you are not careful
about this. YOU waste worsted, or
whatever the medium you use.
Old Samples.
That old samplers are cherished, as
perhaps the one you make will be
also in future years, is indicated by
the following letter sent me by a
man who is evidently a collector of
fine old things:
"My Dear Mrs. Walker: Seeing
your article on 'Old-time Samplers I
would like to tell you of five / have
in my house. One sampler contains
five separate pieces, one is in one
piece. Three of them are dated and
named. telling the workers name and
the school in a village in England.
The dates are 1912, 1921, 1925. The
names are still on the church record
in the old country. The other two 20
back into the years 1760-1782, by the
mother and grandmother Of these

The samplers are bound in old Eng
lish honiton pillow lace made by
hand bobbins"
These certainly are treasures in
their unique bindings.
Offer of Design.
Cross stitch can be used to make
motifs of embroidery without having
the background embroidered. Single
slant stitch, which IS a needlepoint
stitch used in tapestries, requires
solid embroidery about it or it looks
unfinished. a design OF a duck that
can be carried out in either gros or
petit point. or in single needlepoint
slant stitch. if the background about

who wish for 1t and send q self-ad.
dressed. stamped envelope to me, care
of this paper.
Evening star., 1926-08-09

Modern samplers. about which much
interest was shown, differ from old
ones in that the foundation is not
necessarily of canvas nor are the
stitches confined TO those formerly
used. Diversity is accented. Use a
square-mesh material, such as Har-
danger cloth, a high grade of scrim,
Italian linen or goods OF like nature.
The Italian linen is not unlike the
canvas in quaint samplers. 1t is not
easy to get, however, and costs a good
deal, but is very wide. Embroidered
directly on, any of the square-mesh
materials for squares can be counted
as in canvas work.
Embroidery hoops have s,lpplanted
sampler frames. Put the fabric in so
that warp and wo9f threads are ex-
actlY at right angles to one another
Then the embroidery will be straight
and even.
Old Samplers.
The stitches now employed on sam
piers are numerous and not confined
almost exclusively to cross stitch, as
IN quaint samplers. 1t is interesting
TO note that stitchery Of today is a re-
viva1 of old-time work or a develop
ment of it. In this connection you will
enjoy with me the following letter:
My Dear Mrs. Walker: / certainly
hope you will describe to us in your
interesting way the needlework stitches

Petit and Gros Point.
Probably her sampler had on it
both petit (petty) point and gros

given their French pronunciation As

features and delineations that require
