Just when ones home seems to be
complete, a need is always discovered
for little table. No sooner is the
need discovered than one finds all sorts
of uses for a little table. and the prob
lem of buying becomes, What kind
Of little table shall buy?" OF course.
If one can afford several, there are sew
eral answers.
A little table for your tea room. or
wherever you serve tea, should have
a large enough surface for coffee or
teacups, ash trays, mullins, plate of
sandwiches, or even a whole tea serv-
ice. All may not go on the top, be-
cause small tables with. two or three
serving surfaces may be secured, They
may be bought in a wood that will
match your other. furniture.
A little table that solves several
problems with several answers at the
cost Of one is the nest of little tables.
It comes in q variety of shapes, woods
and numbers. and occupies the mini
mum of space when not In use. Elk
anime the individual tables when buy
ing, and look for weak legs, slender
reinforcements and ununiform tops.
The tables should also have tops that
won't be scratched when nested

topped and so forth, serve many pur-
poses. II the table is desired for use
beside a certain chair, or chairs, test
it for height. The actual size of the
table in breadth and width should be
considered with reference to space
available and requirements for use.
Little tables designed especially for
holding smoking accessories should
take their stand opposite the chair of
the smoker of the family. These may
be bought in types containing cigar
and cigarette holders, ash trays, hu-
nnidors. understands and automatic
lighters, or they just consist Of a table
surface and ash receiver. Consult
your husbands tastes and ideas before
buying.
1t is difficult to make a choice be-
tween tables in natural-wood finishes
painted finishes, or lacquered ones.
Natural woods are ideal accessories
because they seem to be a part Of the
furniture in the room, rather than ex-
tras. Lacquered pieces are frankly ex-
tras, but a Chinese red or green little
table will help to brighten a room, IL
that Is desired. Remember that a nat.
ural wood can always be painted or
lacquered when that seems desirable

WINTER
BY d. c. PEATTIE.
January Thaw.

With q false furry of snow and
bleak winds. December hustled in, and
the page Of the new year opened with
storms and rumors of storms. But,
true to form, January approached and
closed with a. record of one good, old
fashioned thaw. For a few days the
air grew milder and wetter and
warmer, soft little winds walked
abroad. and the earth gave UP the
same warm smells that mean to all
who have ever known them the beauty
OF an early Washington Spring. It
seemed incredible that such moist and
thermal atmosphere, such lulling
winds. should not start the crocus in
it's white, winding sheets to live again
or make the wild flowers rise.
Grackles gabbled among the alders
bluejays cried that strange, liquid
call, SO much sweeter than their
Wanting note, and the meadowlarks
whistled and whistled from the beard
grass meadows.
But cold days came again. Winter
was back. and any buds 50 foolish as
70 summon up their saps were cruelty
nipped. And yet our January thaw
was not in vain-it gave hope Of
Spring to Winterweary people; it
promised the defeat of the iegions OF
frost; It gave to our Winter the alleviar
ton. the compensation which they
who live beyond the Potomac cannot
boast.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

One of the fathers writes: would
you please publish formula for feed
ing the mind of a well meaning
mother-in-law who insists on wrecking
the schedule of perfectly trained
child? Our first baby just can't be
rocked to sleep. but when grand
mother Is here the poor fellow just
must be rocked, jostled and bumped
until he is rendered unconscious in
grandmother's arms. He performs
perfectly for his mother, for he falls
asleep after feeding, in his bed. with
out fuss of any kind.
He eats four times day and goes
through the night, from to without
feeding. He is months old and a
perfect specimen of health. l am
afraid If grandmother keeps up her
wrestling tactics the baby will soon
be a subject for medical attention.
The mother and 1 have often talked
the matter over, but for the mother
to say anything to the grandmother
would create an awful storm, so there
is nothing said. l have threatened
to say something, but my wife Is
afraid of her mother and so nothing
Is said and have to sit through the
ordeal wishing there was never such
a person as q mother-in-law."
Answer-The portrait you draw of
your mother-in-law is far from fiat
tering, and the fact that she is a
mother feared by her daughter fills in
the outlines with determination
rather than the soft-heartedness of a
grandmother 1t is natural for grand
mothers to want to rock their grand
children. They did it for their own
children, and they fell that the poor
little modern chick is getting no at
tention at all when he is put to bed
all alone without her loving fussing.
We must forgive her of this. And
most grandmothers, while they bewail
their daughters seemingly hard
hearted methods, secretly admire
them, and remember that while they
walked the floor with their own wall
ing infants, or rocked them for hours.
daughters baby sleeps while its par
ents go out and play bridge in the
evening.
1t is hard to offend a grandparent
who can't see that she is doing the
baby real harm by upsetting it's dis
c1pline and encouraging it to stay
awake, but in this case it should be
done. No grandmother has any right
| to come into her daughters home and
! throw to the winds the methods used
by that daughter, no matter what she
| thinks of them. This causes dissen-
sion and unhappiness and even if the
mother thinks her daughter is wrong
land even if the mother were correct
in SO thinking(-it is still the daugh-
ter's house and she should be allowed
to run or ruin it as she chooses.
Likewise with the babies. No two
generations can see things with the
same eyes. No doubt you. poor
father, will think your sons wife is
running her infant, because she I'M
doubtedly won't train it as you trained
| him. But this is right and privilege
of the new generation, to make its
own way. Grandmother must be con.
tented with and acquiescent to it.
