Benjamin Franklin ran on from Bos-
ton and made his way to Philadelphia,
where he went to work IN Samuel
Keimer's print shop.
Time passed. He heard from home.
His brother-in-law, Robert Holmes, cap
tain Of a sloop out Of Boston, was at
Newcastle, on the Delaware River, ~
miles below Philadelphia. He wrote
Benjamin that his family would gladly
have him come home again.
The runaway answered, declaring his
intention to remain in Phnaoelpnla.

compliments, and then took him to q

the object Of his visit.

"since your father will not set you

shall make an inventory Of the supplies

It was Autumn when Franklin finally
set sail for Europe. He had with him
number Of letters which purported to

OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRI.

This is the day of many books, many
teachers, great interest in children. It
is also the day Of light words, many
words, and glibness. Young mothers
talk blandly of completes, of inh1b1-
lions, of self expression and their chill
dren are not what the neighbors could
wish them to be, are not what their
parents intend them to be. Words do
not always beget understanding. Ex-
perience Is the first step toward that:
Bobby Is dreadfully inhibited. Ill
really have to have him psyched," says
a blithe young mother. Bobby Is truly
in a sad way. He retires to his corner
and looks out under his eyelashes from
behind a defensive shoulder. But there
Is no need of q psychiatrist to get at
his difficulty. He was lonely and afraid.
When his mother was not about, which
was often the way, the maids threat
ened him, shook him and generally
intimidated him. A little understand
ing was all that was needed.
"Susie has q regular mother COM
pick. She insists upon sleeping with
me, following me about wherever I go.
She cries If am out Of sight moment.
We will have to do something about 1t,
really"
Susie was an only child in need of
pleynates. Her mother was a woman
lonely In spirit, at war with her own
household, who sought the companion
ship of this child, held on to her as q
last hope. It was she who needed the
aid of the friendly psychologist, not
the little daughter. II she had only
understood, If she had only searched
honestly for the cause of the child's
attitude she could have found 1t. But
it is hard to heal oneself. Understand
ing comes so late.
Words are very soothing. We repeat
words to cover troublesome ideas. We
give a neat name to some difficulty and
20 our way with q feeling of having
done something and having done 1t
we'll. The trouble Is, though, that moth
ing is truly settled until the cause has
been discovered, acknowledged, and
brought into harmony with the situa-
ton. It is well to study, well to know
the words for the ideas we are trying
to prove, well to acquire knowledge.
But the final thing, the truth at the
end of the trail, lies by the way OF
understanding. Go on by the word, by
the fact, by the knowing until you
reach understanding. Then you can
WELD some power. Not before.
Have you a backward child? Change
his program, change his teacher, change
his environment according to his needs.
You will know his needs when you
understand him. Have you shy child?
fear-stricken child, a smoldering
child? Get behind the name you have
tackled upon his back and understand
him. Then you can help him.

Tulle Gives Up-to-Date Touch
By MARY MARSHALL.

From a shaped piece Of tulle to match
the dress you may soften the neck line
as suggested in the sketch.
IT have two very nice felt hats Of the
cloche sort. Would it be possible to
have them reblocked to give the new
long line in the back, shallow-crowned
appearance? I am planning q new
black velvet dress for late Autumn.
What color stockings would you sug-
gest? I intend to wear black MORE
Slippers l.. M.
I am afraid 1t would be impossible TO
have the old hats reblocked to give pre-
cisely the new silhouette, although IN
the hands Of clever milliner the felt
might be slashed and manipulated SO
as to produce very smart effect. You
may wear hesh-colored stockings, or, II
you like, very sheer gun metal stockings
with the black velvet evening dress.
The newest sort of buttonhole flower
Is made from thin leather, felt or cloth,
and Is quite simple to make, but most
effective. If you would like to know
how to do 1t, please send your stamped,
elf-addressed envelope to Mary Mar
shall, care Of this paper, and the illus
trated circular, giving directions, will

BEAUTY CHATS
Protect Your Neck.

The worst Of sunburn Is that the tip
Of the nose and the back Of the neck
get most Of the burn. No matter how
careful you are, you turn your face away
from the sun whenever possible. Then
the neck gets the full force Of It, and
your hats shadow almost all the face
except the tip of the nose.
This season, when a heavy coat Of
sunburn Is fashionable, there are dozens
of creams to prevent blistering, to en-
courage sunburn, to make the tan
"even." There are even creams and
powders to initiate the suns effects.
I've tried some Of them. A few burn
my skin far more than the sun Itself
on the beach. And on the whole I'm
in favor Of letting the sun in rnodera-
ton act directly upon the skin.
But I'd advise good foundation
ceram for the neck and the nose and a
heavy coat Of powder before going out,
and If the sun has been hot believe
In using q paste of starch and water
over the skin when you have been out
for some time. Also I'm In favor Of
scarfs to protect the neck even when
you are on the beach In a bathing suit
and out for all the sunburn you can
get. And I believe in wearing loose
wrist gloves when possible, even with

If your sofa has a very expensive

do is to equip it with a slip cover, and
if it has a shabby covering slip cover
will do much to bring back its self

A slip cover may be used few weeks,
then put aside after being cleaned and
pressed and replaced when the sofa Is
to receive hard wear, If the permanent
covering Is luxurious.
Slip covers are year-around AFFAIRS
