Consideration for Others.

Unless a child has some considera-
ton for the rights and feelings of
other people ne will not go far nor
meet with much success in this
world, for we are all dependent upon
our fellows for happiness and sue
cess.
Children are not born with con-
sideration for others. They are born
strongly within them. They must
learn first to take care of them
selves and then to think about other
people. 1 know it is ideal to think
only of others, but I know. too. that
very few of us ever attain the ideal.
But we can come close enough to it to
have our children learn to get on
agreeably with their neighbors.

with the whole neighborhood because
his mother taught him to stick up

to mean to help himself to anything
and everything before any one else
can reach it and to do so without
regard to ownership. Long practice
and the confidence of good backing
from home have made him good
fighter.

The thrifty little newlywed and the
homemaker of older experience who
move into a house larger than hitherto
occupied are both sure TO find need
for more furniture than they possess.
The initial expense of buying all the
house furnishings, or of moving,
whichever it happens to be, makes
economy desira BILE. And so it is nice
to know that there are articles that
cost little or which you may already
have that can be so done over that
they fit needs admirably, though in
way entirely different from original
purposes. BY fitting up pieces thus
they may be charming and entirely
suitable, with no trace of the make
shift about them. When this is the
case the money for absolute necessities
can often be spent without curtailing
too much.
For instance, a dressing table as
dainty as any woman could want can
be nothing more or less than an old
or new kitchen table. 1t can have
just as much delicate charm as a
costly fitted out dresser of this sort,
ssch as is found in exclusively deco
rated boudoirs. If it is to compare in
perfection with the latter there should
be a dresser bench to match and a
mirror.
Dresser.
Use table with a drawer for the
dresser, and any simple stool. IF the
man of the house is handy with tools
he can make the bench like the one
pictured. Paint each piece to match
other furniture if that is painted. Do
not paint it white. 1t may be very
deep cream, but a delicate color is
best.
Do not stain the wood, for stain
does not accord well with the style of
the dresser as it is to be, nor the
bench. Put glass knobs on the drawer.
Flounce.
The material used for the deep ruff
fed founce that is tackled to the wood
just beneath the drawer and around
both sides on a line with this meas
urement may be a silk or it may be
Sateen or even percale. Unless it is
silk it should be covered with sheer
swiss or net. Sometimes a home
maker has a length of silk that can
be used for this purpose, and for the
top of the bench cushion. Sometimes
there are opportunities to get a rem
nant of silk at small cost. But what
ever this colored material is, whether

fact, Cubby was rather glad to have
the doors shut. You see, with the
doors open he would all the time have
been expecting some one to come look
ing for him.
AS soon as the sound Of Farmer
Browns footsteps had died away,
Cubby made right straight for a GER
tain place. He made as straight for
il as il he had known all the time
all about that cellar and where every
thing was. There was reason for
his going right straight to this uar-
ticular place. That trusty little nose
of his led him there. A Bear can al
ways trust his nose. He will trust
his nose before he will trust his eyes
or his ears. He knows that what his
nose tells him is true. He cannot al
ways believe his eyes He cannot al
ways believe his ears. But he can
always believe his nose, and does.
So Cubby's little nose led him right
straight across the cellar to-what do
you think? A barrel, Yes, sir, a great
big barrel! Can you guess what was
in that barrel? What do you think?
1t was molasses. Yes, sir, it was a
molasses Darrell Cubby's mouth was
watering all the way across that cellar
floor, and it watered still more when
he got to that barrel.
Now, the molasses is drawn out Of
the barrel by what is called a spigot,
a spigQt is a SORT Of wooden faucet.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1927-09-10

silk or cotton, it absolutely must be
right in color, for on it the exquisite
ness of the entire dresser set depends.
II must be dainty. II may be rose, or
blue, lavender or green or any suitable
hue for dainty bedroom. Here again
white should not be used except in the
net or swiss, and cream is by far to
be preferred.
Extra Daintiness.
If the colored material is cotton, it
must be covered with a sheer material,
or both the dresser and the bench
cushion. Even the frill about the
cushion should be of both materials.
If the sheer stuff is made separately
from the lining, it can be taken off
easily, for it should be thumb-tacked
over the lining on the dresser and
Numbered as often as required to keep
it crisp and fresh looking.
Distinction.
The distinct novelty of the dresser
set described is found in the sprays
of blossoms and foliage attached to
each corner of the dresser. 1t would
look we'll to have a very short spray,
at the back of the cushion on the
bench. Attach it so that it comes
below the seat, and so be out of
danger of getting crushed. The flowers
can be of organdy or silk, with foliage
in the same material. The stems are
made by covering cord with green.
The material can be wound about the
cords or cut narrow and stitched by
machine to form tube the right size
to go over the heavy cord. Pin a
safety pin through the end of the
tubing and through an end of the cord
and push through the tube. This
will turn the tubing to the right side
and line it with the cord at the same
time. Arrange the flowers and foliage
on the stem gracefully and tack with
few stitches in position on the frill
of the dresser. Have the left-hand
spray shorter than that at the right
hand.
Workmanship.
The work must be neatly done. Run
a cord over the tacks holding the
fiounce to the dresser, thus conceal
ing them. The cord can be held in
place with occasional stitches. The
mirror frame can be dull, gilt, or
painted to match the furniture. If
the latter, cover the glass with card
board to prevent paint from getting
on the glass while the work is being
done. A set like this is one to be
proud of.

OUR CHILDREN By Angelo pa,ri

which he very soon did. Brandishing
a big stick, Sam strobe into the
street. Nick had to stop. He
jumped off his wheel and landed a
good swift punch on Sans jaw. Sam
returned the compliment and the two
went at it hot and heavy. Sam was
getting a fine dressing down when
Nick's terrier jumped into the fray
and tore his sweater off his back.
Sam was scared out of his skin
and ran home yelling murder.
"Nick's dog jumped on me and
tore me to pieces" he cried, fall
ing into his mothers arms.
THAT dog must be shot," said Mrs.
Sammie.
HE isn't going to be-" said Mrs.
Nick. For once your boy got what
he richly deserved. I'll defend the
dog and boy in the courts if neces
ssary." Which she did.
Nobody in the neighborhood was
on Sans side. He is isolated and
his mother with him. 1t seems trivial
enough, a couple of lads fighting, a
pet dog to the rescue, but the re-
suits are far from trivial. Because
Sam had never been shown the need
of consideration of others, because
he had been taught that he alone
in the whole street counted, he is
han 1icapped everywhere.
Children and grownups need the
friendships of their neighbors and
unless they practice consideration
for the rights and the feelings of
those neighbors they will suffer far
more than appears at first thought.

Underneath this spigot was a dish to
catch the drip from the spigot. There
was just wee bit of molasses in this
dish. You should have seen Cubby
lick that up. He licked that dish until
it was polished. Then he licked the
spigot. He knew that that molasses
was inside that barrel, but how to get
it out he didn't know. He climbed
up ION the barrel. He climbed down
again. Then he went back to licking
the spigot. 1t was tantalizing. He
had had just enough of a taste to
make him crazy for more.
Now the tempers of little Bears are
rather short. He began to blame that
spigot for not giving him more mo-
lasses. Presently he quite lost his
temper and struck at it with one of
his little black paws. He happened
to hit it just right to turn it. Imme-
diate1y the molasses began to run.
All Cubby's bad temper disappeared.
He just lay right down on his back
underneath that spigot, held onto it
with both paws and let that molasses
run into his mouth. You know mo-
lasses runs slowly. This was as good
as honey, and that is saying a great
deal.
So, while Mother Brown and Farmer
Browns Boy were hunting high and
low, that little black rascal was hav-
ing the time of his short life. Now
and then he would turn his head aside
to get his breath, and when he did
that, of course the molasses ran all
over him. But he didn't mind that.
No, indeed, he didn't mind that. He
didn't care how sticky he got. This
was the most wonderful experience he
had ever had. Here was sweetness
without any smarting stings such as
he received when he upset the beehive.
There was nothing at all to take away
from his enjoyment. Cubby hadn't a
trouble in the world just then.

ter prenatal care of the mother;
better care in schools; and general
elimination of contagious disease.

SENATE BEHIND
HOUSE IN RACE
TO PASS BILLS
Smith-vare Fight Delays
Work; Three Major
Laws Through.
RY ROSCOE B. FLEMING

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-Mem-
GERS of the House should be able to
cat their Christmas turkey and draw
their holiday pay at the rate of
$4,000 q year with an easier con-
science than senator's.
In the fifteen days working time
between Dec. S, when the SEVENTEEN
Congress met, and Friday when both
houses adjourned for the holidays
until Jan. 4, the House had spent
more than twice the time in session
spent by the Senate.
Senate in 3-HOur Day
The House was in session on four
teen Of the fifteen week days, and
spent a total of sixty-three hours
and twenty minutes, or more than
four hours a day, in the chamber.
The Senate had met only eleven
out Of the fifteen week days, and
had spent thirty-one hours and
forty three minutes on the floor, not
counting several short recesses, or
an average of Slightly less than three
hours session.
The House had passed three major
bills before it's adjournment, two of
them at least being worked out by
committees before the session
started and presented shortly after
organization.
Three Major Bills Pass
These three major bills were the
first deficiency appropriation bill,
carrying 5000, 100000 for the relief
of Government departments left
without money by the failure of sup
ply bills in the Senate filibuSter last
spring, the tax bill carrying a $780,
100000 tax reduction, and the alien
property measure for the return to
its owners of German property
seized during the war.
The Senate passed only one of
these, the deficiency bill, and COM
mittees will not even begin work on
the others until after Christmas.
Hearst Created Stir
IN justice to the Senate, it should
be said that it could not take up
any other business until the status
of Senators-e Ware and Smith,
OF pennsylvania ana ILLINOIS,, was
settled, and this took up most of
the first week. They were denied the
oath.
Only one major sensation marked
a quiet and unexciting first three
weeks Of the SEVENTEEN Congress.
This was the Senate hearing into
the charge by William Randolph
Hearst that the Mexican govern
ment had appropriated $1,215,000 to
pay four United States Senators.
Although the committee has n1t
completed it's work, four of its mech
bers have stated in the Senate that
the four Senators mentioned IN the
charges are interrupted ana in
corruptible," and that if such money
were appropriated the real purpose
was covered up by the notation that
it was to be used in tie United
States Senate.
