$4,000 in the bank to accumulate inter-

At the same time John was born. Pat,
the chauffeur, was likewise blest. He
and his wife had three rooms in one Of
the narrow cross streets half block
from the garage. And into this blue but
rather shabby heaven, young Patrick
opened his eyes.
When Tom gave Pat one of the

has three sons and great plans for each
of them.
Pat also continued to be consistent.
He had eight children and was still Tom

The other day Tom took Pat to look
over a new car he was buying for John
for his birthday.

And what child is strong enough TO

Dozens of such illustrations could be

Habits have to be established. Lapses
will occur. 1t behooves the mother to
control her own emotions to such an
extent that the child has no feeling that
this temporary lapse is Of any grea:
Importance. TOO bad you can't eat
your dinner today, darling (or take
your nap), but better luck next time. y
This attitude is comforting, encouraging
suggestive of better control over the Sit
uation at some later period. The child
gets down and plays happily, sure that
next day he will feel more sleepy or
be more hungry. There has been no
particular commotion over his failure
to meet these habitual situations and
50 he has no incentive to use them as
weapons over his parent to demonstrate
that he is an individual.
A mother must keep her fears to her
self. A child is intensely sensitive to
her emotional conduct. II she impresses
him with the importance of his tenn

Whatever in the child's daily life has
been set apart as a thing which must

thing which attracts him, as soon as he

BY AMELIA LEAvITT HILL.

A particularly attractive elbow cush-
ion is made from half a yard of I'M
bleached muslin and an eighth Of
yard each of green and white and of
red and white checked gingham or per-
Gale.
Cut piece Of the muslin 9x13 inches
for the front of the cushion and an
other like 1t for the back. This will
allow for a generous turn in" as the
finished cushion should measure 8x12
inches. Now cut a strip of muslin Al
inches long and inches wide to use
as a side piece connecting front and
back.
Join the ends of this firmly together
and haste it to the back piece all
around, inserting between them a
quarter-inch fold of either the green
or the red checked material in such
a way that when the work is done and
is turned right side out, a very narrow
line of piping will be visible.
AS floral design will cover the front
of your cushion, first of all haste upon
the muslin front an irregularly shaped
oval or oblong strip of the greenland
white checked material to represent the
ground from which the garden is to
spring. This should not be over an
inch in width and should be appliqued
upon the muslin foundation about an
inch or a little more from the lower
edge of the material, after the turn
in" has been counted.
Tulips or wild roses are particularly
adapted to cushion of this kind.
Three are to be shown. For roses you
will need five heart-shaped pieces OF
the red checked Bingham to serve as
petals, and for the tulips three pear
shaped ones.
They should measure 1Ea inches long
when finished and be wide in proper
ton.
Begin with the middle flower in the
exact center of the pillow at the dis
lance from the edge equal to that be-
tween the opposite edge and the

Pin a petal here. and group the
others symmetrically about it, not sew
ing any until you have the correct ar
rangement The other two blossoms
should exactly resemble the first and
should be at just the same distance
from it on different sides, but a little
lower down.
When everything Is in place, applique
each piece to the foundation, connecting
each blossom with the ground" with a
narrow band of the green material by
way of stem. Then attach the front
to the side piece Just as you did the

Tints and Shades
Make Up Colors

Women usually have keener sense
Of color than men, and 1t has been
proved by statistics that color blindness
is more usual among men and boys
than among women and girls.
Many men who have naturally per-
fectly normal color perception use color
terms very vaguely. They speak OF
blue violets. pink poppies--and couldn't
tell you whether there was more or
less green in the tone of turquoise
or a sapphire. This Is simply because
they have never analyzed color to any
great extent. Unless their business calls
for some use Of colors they have far
less opportunity usually to develop their
color perception than women who from
the time OF childhood consider the
color OF their hats. dresses, ribbons and
various adornments.
An excellent way TO develop your
appreciation of color is to analyze COL
ors that come to your attention. Here
are two tones Of rose that are obviously
different. Ask yourself why 1t is that
they differ. One Is lighter, perhaps
and that means that the tone Is more
diluted.
Yet even If there was not this diff
ference in intensity there would stiil
be a difference between them. There
may be more or less yellow In one,
more or less violet In the other. Amer
lean beauty rose contains some violet
tea rose contains some yellow.
The terms tint, tone, color and shade
are all used rather loosely by most Of
us. According to experts in color blend
ing shade Is deeper tone. while a
tint is a lighter one. Thus cream is a
light tint of yellow. while mustard is a
shade. Navy blue is a shade of blue,
while baby blue is a tint.
To be sure. most persons do not fol-

| these two words, but In recognizing the

Dress Child in
Becoming Suits

When 1t comes to making small boys
suits of the sailor order you may be
puzzled by the eyelets for the little lac
ings, and by the embroidery on the
sleeves and collars. But you can have
this all done at trimming shop, and
SO give the suit a professional sort OF
finish, with little expense and no trout
BILE to yourself.
When you are choosing the style for
the small boys suit take into considera-
ton his build and type. So much in the
way of good looks can be produced by
the right kind OF suit, the becoming
style. Some children look dumpy and
unattractive in Smock. others look
weird in a belted blouse, and so 1t goes
all along the line.
And never knowingly burden child
even II he is too young to notice 1t, Win
an outlandish or unbecoming suit. Inc
other kind cost no more and they have
a good deal TO do with his manners ana
feelings later on.

or perhaps she has already done so.
Noblewomen all over England have
sent valuable old jewelry that will find
ready buyers among collectors of an
tique jewelry. Many of these women
since the war have little actual money
to contribute and they might hesitate
to sell their heirlooms, while they would
feel no sentimental misgivings in con-
tributing them to the Queens Casket.
Other women with no valuable pieces
OF jewelry to bestow have searched
through their possessions to find rings
or earrings or brooches Of no great
value of which they have grown tired
Some gifts have come in the form of
old settings from which the stones have
been lost or taken for other settings,
valuable only for the gold they contain

and some broken gold earrings. and her
gift has been received with as much
