The Children's Debt.

What do children owe their parents?
That depends upon what the parents
have meant to them. have known
parents who began collecting their debt
from the children as soon as they
could walk and talk.
Look at yourself All dirty. After
mother washed your clothes and dressed
you and made you all pretty. That's
the thanks you give her.
Thanks. What can a baby know
about thanks? Gratitude is an adult
conception. Life teaches it, 1t. is a
wise man or woman who knows what
to be grateful for and when. Children
know nothing about IT, They will not
learn about 1t by having their debt
thrown In their faces from child
hood up.
"You want to 90 to college, Wen.
suppose you can 60. You ought to
be very grateful child. DO you know

KEEPING MENTALLY FIT

July Is, 1S13.-Three thousand men

the Potomac and was sailing up the
river toward this city. The defending
force, which has marched to the tort,
consists OF all the regular soldiers IN

nearly all the volunteer companies OF
Washington and Georgetown.
The frigate Adams and several gun
boats, which are at the navy yard 1or
repairs, have been ordered to proceed
down the river to Fort Washington 10
help prevent the British feet from
passing that point.

of Congress have gone with the In
fantry and Cavalry parties.
Enough Representatives ana CeHaeVho
have been left behind in the city. how
ever, to form quorums of both Houses.
The House and Senate, after directing
a day of prayer for the safety of the
city and the Nation, have gone into

situation.

Two cannot live as cheapiy as one
unless marriage influences such q
change in the life of one as to make 1t
far more economical or frugal r. how
ever, that life was thrifty and frugal. to
begin with, 1t Is simple matter of logic
to reason that another mouth to feed
and body to clothe and shelter will GER
tainly add to the cost Of living.
There Is factor In this considera-
ton often overlooked While a man
has enough to look after his needs. and
keep him comfortable. he often lacks
the incentive TO get ahead.
A married man with family has
financial incentives quite unknown to
the bachelor. He has wife TO sup
port, and family to support, educate
and start in the world.
Some bachelors have tendency to
laugh at the burden assumed by the
married man. Yet observers have re-
peatedly stated that, by and large, the
married man is better of than the
single one.
This does not seem possible on the
face of 1t. Eut~it becomes clearer when
one investigates. AS a man shoulders
responsibilities he is prone to work
harder and to make greater capital of
his time. I.
Hours that he might term leisure as
bachelor are made productive when
he marries. He cannot loaf with an
easy conscience, be Indifferent of the
future or shirk responsibilities which
add to his value In business.
This should all be considered when
the question lis brought up: Can two
live as cheaulv as one? Thew cannot,
but then they do not have To. Mar
riage is frequently the spark of sue
cess which man has lacked. 1t is the
motiyating force which leads him to
realize his fullest powers.
The best practical proof OF this Is
that most firms requiring help for re-
sponsible positions prefer married men.
They know that with marriage comes
added ambition. responsibility. energy
and interest In business,

Old-Time Ornamental Buttons
BY MARY MARSHALL.

danger that they will be revived for
lingerie, but there are ever 30 many
ways that ornamental buttons may be
used to add distinction to our clothes
Frequently buttons are quite expensive,
containing precious or semi-precious
stones.
For many months now the French
dressmakers have been ranSacking the
collections of old jeweled buttons con-
tanned In the trays of dealers OF antique
jewelry A set OF gold or jewelcd butt
tons that adorned the waistcoat of some
dandy of the eighteenth century might
be brought to light to adorn a new
frock to be worn by a belle of the
twentieth century.
A full set of these old buttons might
be hard to find. So the French dress
makers have devised ways in which one
or two might be shown to advantage,
A single button might be lsed in place
of q buckle on narrow belt or might
be used as the top button on blouse
with plain gilt or silver buttons follow
ing. Two buttons might be used in the
manner shown in the dinner frocE in
dictated in the sketch. Two buttons
might be joined with sifken shaft to
form the closing of blouse at the
neck. If there were four OF a sort
there might be links for the sleeve
openings besides,
Perhaps in your own button tox or
Jewel box you have some old buttons
that might be used to advantage in
some such way. Or If you like to poke
about in the shops OF secondhand
jeweiry dealers you might be able TO
find number Of old buttons that, until
the fad for buttons is established here
as 1t is in Paris, you might be able to
get for very small cost,
This weeks help for the home dress
maker consists of diagram sketch and
directions for making a decorative edge
that would be most attractive for a
child's Summer frock or a crepe de
chine nightgown or slip in your own
wardrobe. II you are interested, please

Keep Milk Bottles
Carefully Covered.

When you are using milk see that
the bottle is covered as soon as you
have poured what you need from it
and as Soon as you are through with
it put the bottle back in the ice box.
Always wash of the outside of the milk
bottles before you put them in the
refrigerator and always rinse OF paper
and bacteria have way of settling ON
the outside Of the bottle and Of the
cap and may very easily enter the milk
unless the proper precautions are taken.
