ries than to carry number Of evening
dresses.
A simply made black evening dress
may be entirely transformed by chang
ing the scarf. One might wear the dress
once with black lace scarf, again with
a shawl scarf of chiffon velvet and lace,
and q third time with no scarf at all,
but with colorful costume jewelry.
These shawl scarfs of chiffon velvet
and lace are rather expensive, but not
impossible to make at home. II you
happen to have piece Of fine old lace
you cannot put it to better use than by
using it in combination with chiffon
velvet for some sort of evening scarf,
the shape depending, of course, on the
amount of lace available.
The scarf shown in the sketch Is
made from a triangle of velvet-a square
cut diagonally. The side opposite the
right angle is finished by picot and the
other two sides are appliqued carefully
to the edge of the lace.
This weeks illustrated circular has
been prepared for the woman who
makes her own Christmas gifts. The
diagram pattern shows how to make an
attractive nightgown, which is lovely in
f1eSh-colored crepe de chine and ecru
lace. If you would like a copy, please

lope to Mary Marshall, care of The

in the child, so that he can find an

This child ought to go to the circus
when 1t comes along. He should go to
the museums, the parks, the exhibitions.

These will include life insurance pre-
miumS, taxes, interest payments on
notes or mortgages, household and fire
insurance and any inStallmentS that
may be due on articles bought on time
payments.
What is left must provide for cloth
ing, entertainment. operating expenses"
and for some savings.
We believe that Is about the best way
to devise ones own budget, and be sure
OF q budget that serves ones particular
needs. All items other than clothing
can be put on a monthly basis. In the
case of clothing, budget the wordrobe
OF each member of the family for a
year, and then control expenditures so
that the amount named In the budget
will not be exceeded.
There Is one impression we should
like to correct. A budget is not neces-
sarily intended to facilitate the saving
of money. 1t is designed to enable
women to get the most out OF their
family income. Some women cannot
save or can save little. They need
nearly all, If not quite ALL Of the income
to clothe, feed and shelter their fanni-
lies. A budget prevents them from un-
consciously placing too much emphasis
on any one item of expense.

Experience With Budgets.

A young wife In a small Illinois town
has asked me to give her a practicable
budget for a family enjoying an income
of $400 per moneh. She has been in
spired by our talks on investments, and
desires to accumulate cash surplus
that may be placed in worthwhile in
vestments.
We went to some pains to devise a
budget for her, and suggested that she
try 1t out for q month and adapt 1t to
her particular needs.
Our experience with budgets has been
that no rigid budget is of any enduring
help.
Families differ in their habits, their
living conditions and standards, in
health, In social obligations, religious
and charitable interests, and so on. A
budget that is practicable for ones does
not work out with another at ALL
One family finds certain notifications
necessary and another finds others es-
sential to a working plan.
The main items of any budget are
rent, food and clothing. Rent is al
ready known. If you will tabulate your
food bills for the past month you will
have a fair idea of what food has been
costing. Add to the total of those items

Dear Miss Leeds: Will you please
tell me what to use to remove the
cream and tissue cream from
my face, as my skin is very oily.
DISCOURAGED.
Answer-After cleansing your face
with cleansing cream to remove the
dust, CRIME and makeup, remove every
particle of the cream with tissue
square, absorbent cotton or clean,
soft cloth. Now wash your face In
warm water and a mild soap. Rinse
thoroughly in tepid water and finally
in cold. Dry the skin with a clean,
soft towel. Apply your tissue cream
very lightly and massage the skin for
a few minutes. Wipe off the excess
cream and moisten a pad of absorbent
cotton in witch-hazel or other mild
astfingent and go over the entire face
evenly to remove every particle of
cream from the skin. Go over 1t a
second time if the skin feels greasy
In the morning dash on some cold
water and rub the skin briskly. Dry
and apply a thin film of vanishing
cream and dust with face powder.

The Play Box.

A mother gets woefully weary of say
ing all day long, Don't touch" mo,
no." Small wonder if her nerves snap
and she slaps the ever-reaching hands
OF the 2-year old.
Children have to touch things, handle
them thoroughly, in order to see them.
The eye does not give them sufficient
information about the thing that is new
to them. They must sense it well in
order to know its meaning, its form, its
name and USE That means they must
take it into their hands, handle it any
way they like, taste it, weight it, make
1t do its work.
OF course, we Cannot let children
handle everything in the house. Things
we value would be spoiled. The child
would get a very wrong notion. He
might be hurt. Too much energy would
be wasted on his part as well as his
mothers. What then shall we do with
this child whose growth demands that
he handle things and whose environ
ment will not permit it?
Make him a treasure box. Select
some handy box with a lid, cover it
with gay paper or cretonne. Put roll
lerS ON 1t. Then put odds and ends
that children like into it. The things
you put in are to teach him color,
texture. taste, smell. weight, temper
ature, use. That sounds complicated,
but it isn't.
A rubber doll, ball. a bell, a bit of
chocolate, couple of clothespins, well
made tin cup, some samples of velvet,
cotton, ribbon, wool, colored papers, a
doll to dress and undress, nest of
boxes, a box with lid that comes of
and can be fitted easily again, picture
card, a large glass marble, a tin bug
that creeps, q tinker toy-any and all
Of these, given few at a time, will do
the required work.
Don't make the mistake Of putting
in whole lot of things at once. About
three things to begin with are plenty.
As he becomes familiar with these add
others. Everything that comes along
that Is clean and free of sharp edges
helps. A glove, a lock and key. string
OF beads will occupy a child for many
pleasant hours.
Don't forget to keep freshening the
box. Train the child to discover sur
priseS there. Set aside a period Of each
day, set period, keep the box in the
same place, and the child will get the
habit of occupying himself without the
attention of the grown-ups This in
itself is q great accomplishment for q
2 or 8 year old child The ideas oi
self reliance. Of self help, Of self suf-
hciency are well set.
Then, having provided for his need
have no compunction about telling hin
and her to keep hands of the family
treaSurers. That, too, Is an essential
part of his training. 1t is always vel

Home Help.

A child who gets along well in school,
particularly those in the early grades Of
elementary school, needs no home work.
But the child who is not doing well
ought to have bit of help at home.
1t Is difficult to give help to such a
child unless you are acquainted with
the program of work and the methods
the teacher uses. Unless your work
supplements the teachers there IS con-
fusion and the child is hindered rather
than helped.
Ask the teacher to tell you now the
child is getting along at the end of the
second week in class. II she says
there is a weakness somewhere ask her
for an outline of the work and for the
methods used. Ask permission to sit in
the classroom to study the work and
metAod. If you have a good back
ground for the lessons, If you know
what the teacher does and how she does
It. how your child stands beside the
others. you can help him far more
tntelligently.
At the end of the month ask for a
detailed report and once more check up
with the teacher. Do not keep going to
school every day and asking about the
child. 1t takes weeks for any change
to show usually, so give the teacher and
tho pupil time.

Memorial Road Needs Patrol

Sundays bridge tragedy calls renewed attention to the
s!attcrnly way in which traffic is allowed to operate on
this most Travelled highway point in North Dakota.
Both because Of the volume Of car travel on the me-
mortal highway to and from Mandan and Bismarck and
because Of the bibulous character OF some OF it. this road
should be under traffic control. What Is needed OH it
Is a traffic patrol such as the city supplies at this end
in the intermittent service OF a motorcycle policeman
Had there been such control Sunday, the car which
crashed into the bridge girders with death to one of its
occupants and ncar-death to the other three could have
been taken off the road. That would have avcrted the
tragedy which bcfell 1t and incidentally would have re-
stored a stolen automobile to its owner.
But there is more to condemn in the Sunday tragedy
than merely what befcll 1t and its occupants. This auto
party was a positive menace to all other traffic OIL the
road in view Of the alleged condition OF the quartet
which the presence of beer and moonshinc in the car
would seem to coyroboratc.
There should by all means be a patrol established to
bar drunken and reckless drivers from the highway.
Surely this would be mere common sense on a road which
has been found by actual count Of the vehicles passing
over it to be the most travelled piece Of highway in the
state.
Make the road safe!
Also why not light the bridge?

TODDLER CLOTHING

In choosing the winter clothes for
the snail child there arc certain
points which it is well to keep in
mind.
Clothing for the small child must
be warm. light, durable. washable,
aud simple to put on and remove.
Heavy ~overcoats which seem so
adequate and sensible are really not
a. satisfactory as soft, rather
lightweight coats which may be
Worr over one or two sweaters as
seem necessary. The WOODEN one
piece play suit With 4 hookless
fastener down the front is an ideal
outer garment for the little child
who will be playing in the snow
during the coming months.
Children who live in a we'll heated
house all winter may be kept in
cotton underwear throughout the
year. additional warmth necessary
fer the out of doors being obtained
by dressing them il more wooden
outer garments.
Cotton undarclothing is desirable
not only because it is more COM
frrtablc and healthy in the modern
furnace heated house but also be-
cause it stands the boiling which
is desirable for the really exquisite
cleanliness with which we like to
start the little mi out Of the nurs-
cry each day.
The child Of two or more is nor
mallv eager to learn to dress and
urdress himself. His clothing should
b. devised with an idea Of making
use of this first urge toward inde-
pendencc. Fastenings should be as
simple as possible. They should
Gene in front where he can easily
learn to manage them.
The perfect underclothing for the
small child is not the familiar "com-
bination' but separate shirt and
drawers or boomers. These last
should be made with a smooth band
in front and an elastic across the
back. The two year : old readily
learns to manage them without help
and with a resulting growth in his
feeling Of independence.
