OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRI,
Children's Reading.

Some day there will be in every COM
munity of children book place where
children may go and read whatever
book is on the well filled shelves. 1t
will be a lovely place of sunshine and
color. The books will have gorgeous
bindings. The illustrations will all be
done by artists and the paper and type
used in their making will be as fine as
skilled workers can make them.
There will be lots of sculpture about
and few fine rugs. Somewhere in the
room where sunshine can fall upon 1t
there will be a fountain. The sound of
splaShing, murmuring water belongs in
the place of books always. The tables
and chairs will be inviting; the right
height and the best color, and of course,
the finest of wood. Books need worthy
setting.
And what is to be on the shelves?
Everything that is good. The only test
I should have for the books that are to
be there is that set forth in the fourth
chapter of Philippians, eighth verse,
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things
are true, whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just, whatsoever
things are pure, whatsoever things are
lovely, whatsoever things are of good
report, If there be any virtue and If
there be any praise, think on these
things"
No better standard for reading than
that can be found anywhere. I'll stand
on that. Lovely things for children to
read can mean but just that. Lovely
things. High action, noble aspirations,
charming adventure in fancy and fact
and fun. Please, much fun for the chill
dren's books. For fun, you know, is
truly lovely.
we grown-ups are too stodgy about
this whole matter. We would have the
children'S reading a serious matter.
What has childhood to do with serious
matters that call for subdued voices,
hushed steps and fine print? None at
all. Bring on Mother Goose with
richest illustration. Fetch along Nom
sense Rhymes.
Kurdish up Aesop's Fables and laugh
at the donkey and weep with the silly
lamb. Give us Brer Rabbit. much of
him and many times Scatter books of
verse about and put when We Were
Very Young" on the top. A heap Of
picture books, showing the old familiar
rhymes and pictures, as The Night Be-
fore Christmas" and "Winken and
Blynken and Nod"
There must be many maps of many
kinds, for imagination takes long jour-
neys and must have opportunity to
stretch its wings and legs. And cabi-
net full of dolls, dressed like the heroes
and heroines in the favorite stories,
from Cinderella to Lady Macbeth
Oh, why yes, of course, they will read
your favorites, but when they reach
them. when they are fun. Not when
you prescribe them. In this place of
books. reading is as free as air, as life
giving and as eXhilarating.

million dollar idea
At any rate, whether or not it can
be described by such lofty term, st
nevertheless is true that the idea has
proved so dazzling to the public that
the dollars are fairly tumbling in.
The idea is cook book-"The Con-
gressional Club Cook Book" Its hackers
are those women in the National Capt.
tai whose husbands are members of
the United States Senate and House of
Representatives.
The writer is informed that already
this compilation of recipes has netted
its producers between $4,000 and 500
900, and the profits are climbing with
every day.
A glance at the book and it is easy to
understand why it is rated rs a best
seller. The compilerS overlooked moth
ing to make the volume one that would
appeal to every woman.
In the first place, the paper covering
bears upon its surface the title of the
book, with the additional notation
"Foreword by Mrs. Herbert G. Hoover"
The book itself is bound in a most ar
tistic fashion.
But it is in the contents of the tome
that the greatest appeal is to be found.

Benjamin Allen.
Yes, of course you did," said Mrs.
Raddle, backing gradually to the door
and raising her voice to its loudest
pitch, for the special behoof of Mr..
Raddle in the kitchen.
Eyes, of course you did! And every
body knows that they may safely insult
me in my own 'ouse while my husband
sits sleeping downstairs and taking no
more notice than If was a dog in the
streets. He ought to be ashamed of
himself''-here Mrs. Raddle sobbed-

leaving her exposed to all manner of
abuse. A base, faint-hearted, humorous
wretch, that's afraid to come upstairs
and face the rufinly creatures-that's
afraid-that'S afraid to comet"
Mrs. Raddle paused to listen whether
the repetition of the taunt had reused
her better half, and, finding that it had
not been successful, proceeded to de-
scend the stairs with sobs innumer-
able, when there came loud double
knock at the street door, whereupon she
burst into an hysterical fit of weeping,
accompanied with dismal means, which
was prolonged until the knock had been
repeated five or six times, when in an
uncomfortable burst of mental agony
she threw down all the umbrellas that
were so carefully stacked in the hall
and disappeared into the back parlor,
closing the door after her with an
awful crash.
So was routed Mrs. Raddle, and all
because the innocent medical student,
Mr.. Benjamin Allen, did not realize
that to call a self-styled LADY a

wanted in her new home, it was closet
space. She clipped closet pictures and
plans from all magazines. She looked
at the cupboards and closets in the
homes of all her friends. One closet
arrangement which pleased her greatly
showed thought and ingenuity. First
there was a shelf placed above the
bank of drawers, and it was placed low
enough so that q woman could reach
it comfortably. On this shelf was room
for boxes holding shawls and fragile

| history, the charm of its old manor
| house. it's natural beauty. its acres OF
woodland or its long stretches of fine
| trout streams. 1t might well have been
for all of them, because they are all
present in abundance.
Certainly Catoctin is one of the most
/ interesting old places in a region where
historic sites are to be found at almost
every turn in the road.
| Catoctin manor was built in ITO by
| Lancelot jacques Frenchman, who
in 1883 had purchased the tract in
partnership with Thomas Johnson,
| later the first Governor of Maryland.
The johnson house, Rose Hill manor,
still stands g few miles away on the
outskirts of Frederick. and is one of the
| famous places in the locality.
| The joint purchase was made that an
| iron mine and furnaces might be oper-
ated on the tract. The Catoctin fur
naces were in operation until after the
Civil War Ruins of the old stone
buildings add a picturesque feature Of
historic interest to the place.
1t was from Catoctin that Gen. Wash
| ington obtained iron for his cannon and
cannon balls during the Revolution,
and the artillery used at Yorktown was
! faSh1Oned from this then famous prod
uct The plates of the ironclad old
Monitor were also made from Catoctin
! iron.
The old house has seen few changes
through successive generations of the
jacques family. 1t still presents dig
nified, unpretentious and emine1tly
comfortable appearance. 1t is sur
rounded by park, and in its woodland
stretches deer and wild duck still may
be found.

clear water, with a fall of more than
1000 feet in miles, is on the estate.
The stream is famous for its brook and

Chief Executive to enjoy Catoctin.

of both Lancelot Jacques and Thomas

In selecting the material for the lit

pattern of the goods is the most appro-
pirate. Chintzes may be employed. but
call for lining. though the cretonne

The dress part of the ensemble is

When a woman who has not been
called upon to make her own clothes
is faced with the necessity of making
not only her own, but those of the little
ones who may be in the family, the
problem at first looks staggering.
Like all new ventures, however, it has
its interesting side as domestic ad-
venture, and should be regarded as
such. If experience is totally lacking
in this line, and cutting into new cloth
on large scale something of hazard,
the making of miniature garments offers
much valuable experience as well as
practical results.
A little girl to dress is not so greatly
different from a grown-up one, in that
the fitting of sleeves, the cutting of COLI
lars, the finishing of seams, ETC., are
much the same in both. Even the term
ensemble" has come to apply to a small
childs wardrobe as we'll as that of her
