NEW YORK IS A HECK TOWN,

eaya Herbert John Marks
 I used to believe it when I read all this stuff about New York. About what . terrible town 1t was. What . sink of iniquity and all that sort Of stuff. Friends used to come back to Frog Hollow, after a visit to the biz city, and 70 around with hushed whispers, saying. Gosh. what . town! How do they ever stand the pace." and that sort of thing. They didn't see beneath the surface as I did when I came down for visit.
 Why, there are more hicks in New York City than there are in Frog Hollow. One day I was walk ing down Broadway. A crowd had gathered at corner. pushed my way through. wondering what all the excitement was about. What do you think they were all gaping at? A guy was holding up a cop! At an- other corner there was another curi- ous crowd watching something What do you think it was? Some fellow was selling bottles of Scotch for five dollars a bottle! And Il wasn't even real stuff! I know, be- cause I bought 8 bottle!
 And this idea that New Yorker' lead fast lives and spend money lik. water. Bunk! Most of them are ir bed every night at ten o'clock! know, because I called on somt people and the maid told me the. were out!
 I went into Texas Guinan's ia nous night club. Ginger ale wal only quarter a bottle and sand wiches fifteen cents. The waiter sait they didn't even sell liquor! Ane they made me get out at ten o'clocl because they were closing up! M! bill was s3.75 and the waite | wouldn't accept the ten cent tip! I've heard people say they pal, as high as SIS apiece for theate tickets! That you couldn't get seat in front of the tenth row for love 0 money. I went to a show and the, wouldn't take . cent for the ticke at the box office! And I sat in tn third row. It was a darn good sho too. It was called "The Ladder" I had heard great deal abou how New Workers hustled. Bunk The parks were filled with gentle men taking life easy?
 New York is just a big bluff. Tn folks there are just the same as th folks in Frog Hollow. They wear tn same clothes. say the same thing and lead the same lives. They jus try to make you think they're dii ferent. That's all. They're buffers! l Why, when l was down there
 fellow tried 10 sell me Brookly
 Bridge! It never faxed me. I tol
 him l knew darn well that it wash
 for sale; because I had wake
 across it and there wasn't a sign 0 it;

of preventing them is impossible to the
tired mother. She can't expect con-
sideration from hot children, so she
must plan and think out ways of saw
ing herself work. Life can be pleasant
and easy in the Summer, a time when
one can thoroughly enjoy rocking on
the lawn or being completely and thor
oughly idle, If one makes an effort to
have it so.
A certain amount of work is neces-
sary evil, but work can be shared with
the children. who will be less over
heated scrubbing the porch with hose
and broom and infinitely better enter
tanned than If they are engaged in an
aimless running the streets.
Paper napkins, paper tablecloths-
yes, even paper plates and cups-are
work savers of which a mother should
be guilty in Summertime. The mother
who conscientiously runs her home as
she did in the Wintertime and then re-
lieves her overweight nerves by
screaming shrilly at her Children ind
feeling that they are naughty little
pests intent on annoying her needs to
pull herself up and realize that patience
and sweet disposition are often gained
at the expense of the household ma
chinery. In the Summer we can let it
get rusty with clear conscience.

Breakfast Manners
Are Hard to Find

We are no better bred than we would
indicate by the way we behave at
breakfast in the bosom of our own
family. For every ones breakfast man
ners are his worst and a good many
people forget that manners, like charity,
begin at home There are some other
wise very well hammered persons who
simply can't show much courtesy or
consideration at breakfast. They are
so constituted physically that they come
to breakfast in sort of daze and don't
really entirely awake from their nights
siumbers till after the morning meal.
There is nothing more discouraging
to the cultivation of good manners than
the appearance at breakfast of mem
bers of the family in sloppy attire and
morning disarray.
To be sure, among women OF wealth
and leisure-whose neglige attire is as
fastidiously attended to as is their dress
for the opera, albeit more easily donned
the practice prevails of appearing at
the breakfast table in neglige attire.
But for the woman of many servants
to do this is one thing and for the
woman who needs must be downstairs
in the kitchen betimes to prepare the
breakfast it is quite another thing. If
there is one thing more than another
that tends to discourage the cultivation
of courteous family breakfast manners
1t is the appearance at that time of a
earelessly donned breakfast jacket, or
other neglige that has been doing
service in the kitchen and cap that
indicates all too plainly that 1t is
donned to conceal unkempt locks. For
the woman who must do her own
notwithstanding the only correct dress
for breakfast is neat house dress.

YOMEN who had looked for
n ward to a return of the more
" " rounded silhouette as a time
Il when they would at last have
an advantage over the wom-
en- of slender proportions have found
less reason for rejoicing than they ex-
pected. Because, as it happens, the
new type of nodded silhouette demands
slender contours as well as a curve or
two. In any group of representative,
well dressed women you will find that
those who are slender are wearing the
raised WaiStline. while those that are
not wisely realize that straight lines
and longer bodice effects are much
more favorable to their type.
OF all new fashion tendenci- the one
that is spoken of with most confidence
is that of the raised waistline and the
more nodded silhouette. The question
of skirt lengths is one that has not been
so definitely settled The new dresses
seen in Paris at present show longer
skirts, but at the same time there is a
reaction on the part. of some women
against the very long evening dress. The
uneven hemline with a skirt that
hangs down in the back or at one side
has certainly not gained any ground
among street or daytime dresses.

from shoulder to low hipline. Some
times the nodded outline extends well
down to the knees.
A charming new French dress shows
full circular skirt with the fullness
haring gradually from just below the
waistline to a hemline 5 or inches
below the knees. Over this is worn a
bodice made with rounded neckline
and peplum rounded upward at either
side like a little jacket. There are
three ribbonlike bands of the material
one circling the normal waistline,
another passing around the bust, and
one between. Each Is finished with a

Odd SunrOOm Cushions

Sunroom incidentals need not be ex-
pensive to be attractive. Certain things
can be achieved as successfully by the
clever woman with a needle as can be
purchased in the most modish shops.
Cushions, for instance.
The newer types of these are riots Of
color-sunsets with rainbows running
through them.
There are types that are new and
are being sold in New York for SIS to
$25 each. You can easily duplicate
them for much less than half these
sums, depending. of course, on the kind
of material you use.
If your scrap bag yields nothing in
the way of a bright bit of cretonne,
scour the shops for the most brilliantly
colored hue money can buy. There is
no danger of getting it too loud"
Bring your choice home and make it
into an ordinary sofa cushion about az
feet long and 18 inches wide, using no
cord, ruffle, boxing or other finish on
the edge, but simply making it as plain
as possible. Now get four strings of big
black wooden beads and loop each one
into sort of rough tassel, the irregular
loops hanging not more than inches

Broccoli Is Good
Green Vegetable

Broccoli, which is a sort Of second
cousin to the caulihower, is making its
appearance in American markets. It is
somewhat more delicate in flavor than
either cabbage or caulifiower and the
fact that it offers one more green vege-
table to the list gives it good chance
of becoming as usual and as much liked
here as 1t already is in England and on
the Continent.
The following practical cooking hints
concerning broccoli have recently been
given by experts in the United States
Department of Agriculture:
The lower end of the stalk is trim
med of, so that sometimes there may
be considerable waste in preparing
broccoli for the table Like any other
green vegetable, it is cooked in lightly
sailed boiling water. The pieces are
left whole and should be carefully re-
moved from the saucepan to keep them
shapely for serving. Broccoli usually
becomes tender in 90 to 25 minutes
cooking. 1t is then drained and served
with melted butter or Hollandaise
sauce"

Food Tastes Begin
In Our Childhood

Did 1t ever occur to you that one of
the most important bits of education
that a mother has to assume in con-
nection with her children is the train
ing of their taste in food?
This is quite as important as train
ing them to speak with something like
correctness. In fact, little neglect in
the latter may be mended by close at
tention, but the badly trained appetite
is something that often clings to man
or woman through life.
So 1t is really up to you.
The fact that you must impress upon
yourself from the start Is that to a
great degree likes and dislikes in food
are a matter of 8raining. There are
exceptions to this rule that it is well
to bear in mind. For instance, child
may show some marked dislike for
some certain sort of vegetable. Now II
you make up your mind to make the
child eat this vegetable in spite of a
natural dislike you may prejudice him
against vegetables entirely. In training
child to like vegetables, which Is one
of the most important matters in train
ing the appetite, make the most OF
vegetables that a child really likes.
Most children like asparagus, fresh or
canned. Fresh green peas are general
fayoriteS and most young children like
carrots. Spinach seems to be one of
the wholesome vegetables that many
children dislike.

two or three punch holes, is left to hang

it may be drawn up in slight blouse.
TUNES of this sort are sometimes

Separate Belts Mark
Tuck-In Costume

To add to the list of accessories al
ready familiar to every woman there
are separate belts to be worn with the
new generally accepted tuck-in blouse.
The vary narrow belt we have had
with us for several seasons to be worn
to define a lower waistline with one
piece dresses, overblouses, jumpers and
sweaters. Sometimes these narrow belts
are worn with the tuck-in blouse, being
arranged so that the skirt belt shows
above the belt; and sometimes they
are held from slipping by means of
narrow straps of the material of the
skirt placed at either side.
But it is the wider belt--from two
to five inches in width-that is the real
novelty and this is chosen by many
women for the tuck-in blouse because
1t produces defined waistline and be-
cause it has desirable air of smart
ness and newness about 1t that makes 1t
extremely attractive. These belts usu-
ally have metal buckles or buckles
covered with leather to match the belt.

Chintz Frame
For Picture

A new trick is this:
In a chintz-decorated room have
plain walls decorated in gray, tan, light
blue or green, which is again in vogue
in interiors.
Have no pictures. of the conventional
sort. on the walls. But instead cut
from the chintz, of the large patterned
sort, several panels, Of different sizes
and shapes, each containing one big
motif, and have these framed.
In this way, one might contain big
bird, another might contain one group
of flowers, a third second group of
flowers and fourth perhaps some fruit.
These four panels would be hung on
the four walls of the room
OF course, two could be made alike,
have four separate designs in the Gre
tonne. These make really very cffec-
tive wall decorations and are something
new and interesting.

Sew one to each corner of your cush-
ion. and there you are!
Another odd cushion is made of bright
cretonne in exactly the same way as
the first one, except that, instead of
beads, you will need yards and yards
of wooden fringe not over an inch wide
On the cushion we have mentioned
this was a soft sage green. Seven inches
from either end of the cushion begin
to band it with the fringe, the rows
running the short way of the cushion
and so close together that no material
Is visible between them. OF course, ii
is held in place only by stitches on
its foundation side, the fringe itself
falling loose, but as it Is so short there
is little danger Of its getting seriously
out of place.
Do not put the fringe on in spiral.
by the way. To get the right effect
each strip must be cut separately.
1t is hard to give dimensions for these
cylindrical cushions, as their length de-
ponds upon the width of seat or ham,
mock. They must, of course, be thick
in proportion to their length.
The end pieces are as long as the
circumference of the cushion and are
shirred into big bead in the middle.
