Our Family.

Jul 9dhAAJs
A certain feeling of family pride Is a
very fine force for good. Used wisely 1t
helps to carry adolescent children over
many critical place.
Mother, the class wants to have a
party. They're going to go to town and
have dinner and dance. Can go?"
"That means a dinner and dance at
q hotel? In town? And how are you
to get there and back?"
"The boys will take US in their cars.
OF course, their fathers will lend them
the cars-four Of US In car. DO let
me 60, mother. All the girls are going"
MY dear, that's q mistake. Our
family never does that. Our girls never
60 out until they are graduated from
high school at least, and then only to
properly chaperoned parties. Our fam
lily doesn't do that sort Of thing"
It Is hard to be denied the good
times other girls and boys have, but q
touch Of family pride will soothe the
smart. It won't hurt at all II the girl
on being asked II she is going assumes
naughty air, turns up her nose a
trifie and says smoothly enough, "Our
family doesn't do that sort of thing"
1t will be a very good thing If she does.
There Is such thing as social stand
ing, and the right touch Of hauteur.

OUR CHILDREN By Angelo pa,ri

the proper amount Of chilling pride will
see q girl through many a trying hour.
It Is far better to have an air Of Aloof-
ness and dignity than to be hail fellow
well met with some crowds.
Even the boy responds to the call OF
the family honor When he wants to
wear a fur coat that makes him look
like wild animal, wants to take the car
to high school and load it up with the
fellows, wants TO go to the gay party
with TASKS and smokes and giddy girls,
the family ancestor may well be hauled
from out the cobwebs and made TO dc
duty.
"That will scarcely do, my boy. You
are q Smith, and the Smiths have a
name to live up to, q responsibility to
society. I have no doubt that some OF
the parents win ask, Is Smith going?
Imagine your feelings II your name
should lead people to send their boys
into trouble. Your place, your name
carry duties with them. Our family has
certain traditions, and much Is ex-
pected Of us. Your place is to lead, not
follow. Make up your own party and
lead the other way around"
Try 1t. It works. Drag out that OLD
blackened oil painting of Grandfather
Hoosit and make much TO it. And you
win be doing right by the children
and the family.

NANCY PAGE
Dresses for Joan Are Smart
and Sensible

BY FLORENCE LA GANKE.

A nursery school had opened in the
Pages neighborhood, and Joan was now
having the experience Of going to a
place where there were many other
children of her own age. Aunt Nancy
decided the experience was good for her,
for she found Joan was less apt to want
her own way. She had been growing
lust little selfish and self-willed. MUIR
sery schools do much to make children
better members of their community,
Nancy found.
The only drawback to Joan's going
at this time was the fact that she
needed a few more clothes, and Nancy
was deep in housekeeping, gardening,

the border. One square will be sum-
cient for a pillow ID inches square.
The patch Is 10 inches square and the
strips of diamonds measure 4 inches.
AS the strip is used all about the patch,
the finished size is Is inches.
The best cushions are called "box
cushions" The front and back are
joined with a narrow straight band of
whatever size the cushion requires. This
band forms the sides of the box" A
2-inch band gives a good width. Fin
iShed, 1t will be but / " inches. so If a
pinch finished band is needed cut the
band 21a inches wide.
Sew the band straight around the top
portion. Allow no fullness at corners.
The material must come around them
as straight as at any place on the sides.
Sew three sides of the lower portion to
the band, being careful to have the cor
ners come in the same way and the
same size. Blind-stitch the lower por-
ton to the band, so that it appears to
be stitched on the wrong side as all
other seams have been.
