HOME STANDARDS
By Alice JudSOn pea}e

ISS Alltc JUuSDn Iedic
 On Saturday morning, Helen came down to the breakfast table looking quite different from her usual trim. school self. Her hair was unndy, and her dress crumpled and soiIcd
 To her mothers questioning look she answered gayly, I'm not going 10 school today so I don't have to fuss. This dress is good enough to wear just around home"
 My dear. if it isn't good enough for school. it isn't good enough for home. I think you had better go up stairs and make yourself neat so that we will enjoy looking at you across tho breakfast table"
 Home deserves our incest man ners, our best looks, our pleasantest conversations. Home is where we live, and the manner of our living in it indicates the quality of our ex- istonce.
 Members of the family owe it to each other to be as courteous and considcrate of each others scnsi- biIitios as they arc of those of an outsider. They owe it to each other to como to the breakfast table well groomed and cheerful.
 The table which is set so prettily for company should be quite as pret- ty when "only the family is pres cnt. The voice that is gracious to the visitor should be pleasant when re- minding Johnny to wash his hands for dinncr.
 The standards which obtain in the day to day life of the home are those which impress themselves -7oD the child's mind and weave ,nem- selves into his habitual mehavior. Surely it is worth whatever con- scious effort it may require of us to set a standard which we will be glad to have our children follow through out life.

New York, Oct. 1S.--Little Miss StX-to-TWelve must look her very young self this winter or she is not chic.
 Therefore, the best juvenile fash ions in frocks. coats and hats are those that emphasize fine fabrics, excellent tailoring and colors that become fresh young faces rather than great elaboration of styles or fancy touches.
 Sturdy, smooth, deep pile fabrics give a SoftncsS to the outer garments for the Little Miss. The ensemble theme offers innumerab}e cute coat and hat sets Of the same material. These are practical, insure q we'll dressed look and eliminate the tie Sue or Dona
 Red-Blue Combinations Are Smart
 The classic school-room colors of red and blue combinations offered some smart outfits at q childrcns fashion show recently. Greens. from light medium to a green almost 4 billiard, were offered for the little lady with golden curls. Some reds many browns. blues from navy to Alice, tans, and lavender all were shown.
 Such fabrics as polar shag, cam els hair, pilot weave and chamois luxe were the favorites. Hats made of these were unusually soft and becoming to round checked little faces.
 For wee tots, there are trim double breasted coats of the shag- gier Wools, with notched collars, big. roomy pockets for little hands and colored belts of suede. The softer and smoother fabrics make more of detail and fine scamings, rounded or pointed yokes, stitchings on the back and fronts, individually styled pockets, and strapped fastenings are the order.
 DreSSicr Coats Make Use of Fur
 Dressier coats use beaver, nutria, opoSSum, squirrel and other furs for collars and cuffs Round collars, shawl collars, cape collars and bow tie collars are used. While many coats are belted. some flare in cute manner from the yoke.
 The hats that top these coats re- peat beret theme, though the ways this can be modified are nu- merous and wonderful. Some simu- late tam m-o'shanters of Mothers girlhood, others are scanned in tail order fashion. with fullncss held to one side, and still others take q poke shape. Little stitched, cuff-like brlms flared back from the face in some, copying the style for adults
 Fur pompons little ribbon bows. little nosegays of felt flowers and small feather fancies introduce a dash of color into children's hats this fall. But among the better class of merchandise. the simple trim ming is by all means the preferred one.

 stop this at once," said sternly. Here l need you to help me to find out about this, as you did about Miss Mary's bank account, and all you can do is 10 weep over some utter nonsense spoken by those police officers because they didn't know what else to say Is this what you learned in your detective corres- pondencc cOurse?"
 katic'S Theory
 I was quite proud Of my control over my risibles as I made this little speech, which l was quite sure would banish my little maids hys- roria more quickly than anything else I could say or do. Katie's ex- p"rimcnts in trying to live the melo- dramatic movie stories in which she revals have long been source of mirth for all Of us. and her latest venture, that Of taking q corre- spondonce course. which gravely re Wlrded her with an ornate diploma pronOuncing her q real detectatiye' in her own parlanca, has been cspe- cially Imaginable, although upon one occasion when she ludicrously proved the identity Of Mary with the mysterious Janet Rawdon" our laughter was tinged with distinct re- spoct. With that remembrance be fore mo, I was conscious that I was quite willing, even eager, to listen 10 Katie's theory concerning the burglary Of the farmhouse. My req son told mo that she had stumbled by accident upon the solution of the Janet Rawdon" mystery, but something more instinctivc and per sistent than reason was linked with my mirthfuI anticipation of the de tocative work" into which l knew she would joyfully plunge at my bidding
 The success of my experiment was so sudden that it startled me, used as I am to the VaCarics Of my tenn pcstuous little maid. The sobs died in her throat as if by magic, her - t-+-.t'ti-' VI 'ts#-' cNAltItsi I'tt lltli through the tears, which she rapid ly hinkod away, and as I took my hand from the lips I had forcibly closed, q happy torrent of words rushed out of them.
 'I know. I beeg fool pay atten- ton to does poor feesh, but dcy get my goat something fierce. Now shoost brush dem away like mos Quitocs." Katie's gesture was su- perbly insClcnt "But ecf you want to know vot I tink Of last night I tell you now"
 She paused and drew herself up dramatically. Well, our Katie knows th" value of suspense.

In Which Katie Propounds a Most Startling Theory About the At
 tempted Farmhouse Burglary

I hardly dared 10 breathe as l made the apparently casual sug- gestion of seeing Katie about lunch con to my mother-in-law. Would she see through the ruse l had con- coCted as the only means Of keep ing her away from my over-wrought little maid, or would her eagerncss to share my trip to The Larches blind her 10 everything else?
 "Yes -l might as we'll see Katie" said with a pretense Of delibera which could have de ceivcd no one. "Yourc already dressed for drive, but I shall have to change, But remember to be firm with her. Shes just pining for q chance to get wccpy over this I really ought to ser her myself.'
 Tt would be- hcttrr" l agreed hastily, "hut I do SO want 10 get over to the agent as quickly as pos sible. That's such a splendid idea of yours ah0ut The Larch's I'm so afraid somebody else might want 10 lease it for fho holidays"
 My zeal had run away with mo. No sooner had I spoken than I real izcl that in my mothrr-in-law's own expressive pariance I was laying it or altogether too thick.' Tut some thing in her answering dry chucI,la told me that it was my judgment. not my truthfuuoss which she 1oubtel.
 "Yes, I've heard that the agents put here are bothered to death with people wanting 10 rent country houses at Christmas time" she said, and I laughed dutitul!y. even as I defended my theory.
 "They ought 10 be-" I said stoat- ly. Anyone who can ga- 10 the country at Christmas time and doesn't"
 I left the sentence unfinished and hurried ont Of the room. I be- lievcd that had cffecWally diverted her mind from the subject Of Eatio's delinquoncies, but I wished 10 take no risk of her roscindine her deter mination to go down to the kitchen and discipline my little maid.
 The Kitchen "Dctc"atiyc"
 There was a noise Of clattcrinG pots and pans from the kitchen, sure sign of Katic's state of mind, for, though she is rough and noisy. she works usually with silent eff ciency. As I had expected, when she saw nc standing in the doorway she gave a frenzicd little howl flung herself upon me and began to sob violently.
 ."Oh Missis Graham, my Mssis Graham, I SO glad you coon. You not belcef bod tings about your Katie. You know vot doy say dose beog boon"h"s of soup greens init parsley left oudt? Doy say dot me und Jeem. me-und-Jeem-''

Flip the Terrier was learning q lot about the pockets of Striped Chipmunk.

 Miss Norma Selbert, assistant pro- lessor of public health Of the College of Medicine of Ohio State Universi- ty, has just made available in the form of a small book guide 10 the home care of the sick.
 The person who lies in bed suf- fering with some disorder and who is suffering just about as much with the misguided attention of members of the family will do well to invest in this volume as a gift for those who take care of him.
 Miss Selbert points out that the ideal home in which to be sick is one in which there are no weeds or rubbish in the yard, a sufficient number of swings, benches and chairs on the porch to keep the visitors outdoors, a clean pave ment, a scraper and mat outside of the door for removal of mud from the shoes, and a place for de- posting umbrellas, galoshes, rub bers and slickers before the visitor enters the bedroom.
 The windows should be screened so that flies and other insect pests cannot enter. There should be a thermometer in the room so as to make sure that the temperature is kept between 60 and 90 degrees F. The windows should be opened for ventilation and screens arranged so that drafts will not blow directly on the bed.
 If the windows rattle, that may be controlled with small wedges of wood and the grooves in which the windows move should be grcased with vaseline or with grease so that they will slide easily. The doors should be kept noiseless and should be kept so by using a pad or folded
