Why Not Treasure Up Your ChiIds School Work;

At Christmas time he tore in
from his last day at school before
the holidays and handed my friend
package neatly wrapped in
tissue paper and red ribbon. say-
ing that 1t was his Christmas gift
to her, She opened it and ex-
claimed over the neat work he
had done, but, drawing him to
her side. she said: Honey, you'd
better give this to yonr mother,
don't you think so? You made
this all yourself and she should
have 1t. !" The small boy shook
his head emphatically. No, sir!
Everything / take home my
mother throws away. You keep
'em in box, so I want it to be
yours"
And. after all. that Is all these
little workers ask OF us--just that
we appreciate their efforts and
treasure them enough to keep
'em in box" Not a hard task
is it? And it means so much to
children who are working with
all their tiny abilities to make
something which we will feel is
worth while. And each tiny step
toward perfection Is worth while,
and each step which we notice
and appreciate makes the next one
just that much easier, and surer
for our children.

FASHIONS
FANCIES

Wearing White Wigs seems 10
be the latest Partisan fad. For
evening white silk wigs. for sports
wear white wooden ones are
adopted by extremists, who are
ever on the search for something
new and eccentric in fashions.
Pointed in front, these wigs cover
the ears and are caught in a small
knot at the nape of the neck.
They are stitched to initiate waves
and completely cover the wearer's
hair. Often colored ones, the shade
OF ones natural hair, are preferred
to white.
The Pink OF Perfection seems to
be regarded as that rose.pink
shade which il now enjoying SO
strong a vogue. Printed silk OF
chiffon frOcks with black ground
and rose-pink designs are very
smart, especially so when worn
with pink felt hat to match.
Those Who Like the Links will
be fascinated by the new envelope
purses OF pigskin that feature a
design OF golf bag and clubs.
Large chamois envelopes, in pastel
tones, are well liked and are also
seen with golf or tennis motifs.
Striped Cardigan StrlIxingIy Bor-
dered in crocheted effect is one of
the latest sportswear novelties. A
striped wool jersey cardigan, with
crocheted treatment at border,
wrists and pockets, is pleasant
variation OF the ever useful
sweater.

person and how should the child
receive the introduction? =. L.
To my way Of thinking q child
called by his or her entire name;
it seems to lend. a sort of dignity
and naturalness to the introduce
ton that Is very appealing. So, In
introducing child, you may say
Mrs. Allen, this is Lucille Under
wood or Mrs. Allen, this is my
little neighbor. Lucille Underwood"
And especially like the last
part of your question how should
the child receive the introduction?
A wise mother will early make In
Productions 50 natural, so matter
of.course, so simple and unaffected

that the child will be straightfor-

hang its head, or wiggle unattrac-
lively not knowing what to do, or
need to be coaxed or bribed or
wheedled into acknowledging the
introduction. This isn't cute or
cunning or "adorable''--it is
nothing but a deplorable lack OF
training, making the guest uncom-
Portable, the child Nawkward-ap-
nearing and the mother of the
child appear as one who has no
sense of social training in the sim

The child should be taught that
this question of introductions ID as
simple as eating piece of bread

easy. The child uses the same
form of acknowledgment OF an
introduction as an adult uses

taught to "catch" names correctly

step forward and shake hands, but
this is not necessary, and the
child should not be coaxed to do
this. The child may also, il it is
very young, be taught to curtesy.
hut the natural manner of accept
ing the introduction is the most
important phase.

A short time ago The Gateway ran an inquiry seeking information as to Circulars which the Puget Sound Gro Icery Co., of Seattle, were sending to various persons in Seward.

 Editor, The Gateway
 With respect to the Puget Sound Grocery Co., referred to recently in your paper, it has been a5certained that as far aas can be judgs d it is a reliable grocery agency which recent ly started business. The National Grocery Co., here made inquiry con- corning it and this caused my request ito that companys agent at Anchorage for any circular matter that had been mailed cut by the new concern.
