Since the pine tree is favorite va
riety of evergreen for Christmas decora-
tion pine tree pattern is offered today
with the compliments of this paper
and the Walkers. 1t can be used in a
wide number of ways to ornament
Christmas gifts. BY sending a self
addressed and stamped envelope to
Lydia LeBaron Walker, care of this
paper, with a request for this pattern,
it will be sent free as long as the pat
terms hold out.
The pattern shows a dear little ported
tree and gives insertion and lace edge
of the same design. Accompanying the
picture are printed directions for it in
t1let crochet. However, the design is
equally we'll adapted to cross stitch, and
is printed precisely as croSS-stitch pat
terms on cross-bar paper. If it is de-
sired, the pine tree can be traced on
and used as pattern for other stitch

painted in silhouette or in black with
the tree in green and a gay jardiniere.

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

December 2, 186O.-Republiciain Sena-
tors and Representatives in attendance
today at the opening of the second ses-
sion of the Thirty-sixth Congress were
amazed at what they learned from
Southern members as to the state OF
things existing in the slaveholding
States. It was apparent that the Re-
publicans have not heretofore realized
the seriousness of the situation that has
followed the election of Abraham Lin
coin to the presidency.
The almost entire unanimity of the
South, as represented in Congress, in
demanding new constitutional guaran-
tees as the only alternative of disunion,
which is the mildest position held by
any portion of the Southern members,
has astounded the Republican leaders
at the Capitol.
Thus far there is nothing to indicate
that the Republicans in Congress will
at once meet the proposal coming from
Representatives of the bordar slave
holding States, that the cotton States
be promptly offered new guarantees
under the Constitution. It is feared
by many close observers that If some
such plan is not adopted without delay
it may soon be too late to prevent
other States in the South from follow
ing the example of South Carolina and
voting to secede from the Union.
Several plans to avert the crisis are
being discussed tentatively, but as yet
there is no evidence of concerted ac-
ton. Many conferences will doubtless
be held during the next few days. An
efforts will be made to bring the Sena-
tors and Representatives from the
South together, and it is hoped that
conference may later be arranged be-
tween men selected to represent the
Southrn members and representatives
of the conservative Republicans with a
view to settling the trouble and pre-
serving the Union.
OptimistS still believe a plan may be
adopted to preserve the Union, but at
present the future looks very dark TO
most of the men in Congress on both
sides of the controversy, at least so far
as reliance upon congressional action
to initiate settlement is concerned.
The Republican members of both
houses have tacitly agreed to remain
as still as death upon the slavery Ques-
ton for the present. Even Messrs.
Sumner and Lovejoy have decided to
join in this policy. It is feared, how
ever, that its effect will be to increase
rather than diminish the distrust felt
throughout the South as a result of the
election of Mr.. Lincoln.
Nearly all Democratic members from
the cotton States seem bent upon pre-
cipitating events as fast as possible.
apparently dreading lest a pause after
the action of South Carolina NAV de-
Feat the plan to bring about the Seces-
sion OF all the cotton States before
Lncolns inauguration on March 4.

Your. Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEIER ELDRED.

The child isn't learning a very stable
kind of obedience when he does as he
is told only because he is rewarded for
it. If adults did right only because Of
the tangible rewards of such actions,
their right-doing would be on a pretty
slippery foundation and would tend to
fall down as soon as the rewardS dis
appeared.
The danger of the reward system,
centsl" is no different really from the
threat school, IF you do this, I'm going
to give you something to rememberT'
And you can guess what that will be!
Each puts obedience to recognized au-
thority on the plane of doing right be-
cause 1t wins one threat or q punish
ment. That isn't really what we are
trying to teach a child. We are teach
ing him hopefully day by day that
obedience to some higher authority pro-
tectS him, guides him along a way of
living which will be useful to him in
later years and makes him happier be-
cause control and self-government carry
in the end SatiSfactionS for the child
even as they do for adults.
But the tiny. tiny child, just learning
all these multitudinous duties of be-
havior and unable to visualize future re-
suits of good conduct, needs some SIM

keep him struggling toward the goal
and show him, incidentally, the effects
of such good behavior. For children
who are trying to keep dry beds or eat
wholesome foods, or heed and obey nee
eSsary orders without whining or COM
planning, the simple system of star
awards is definite and tangible, appeals
to small children and has no bad after
effects. The reward Of money or Of
food which shouldn't be eaten, but Is
given as a treat, has a definitely bad
after-effect, for the child becomes in
satiable in his demands and says, "I
won't do it unless you give me a dime {"
or What do I get for going to the
store?" which is clearly a far from
desirable state Of affairs So let us keep
to SINE such simple rewards as outlined
by Mrs. p. T. o. in her letter:
I'VE have worked out a system Of
rewards to keep the children interested
in clean behavior sheet. Each child
has sheet of paper marked with the
days of the week and his name on top
We have blue stars with glue on the
back, and each evening we work out the
star question. It Is real delight to
the child to have blue star added for
good behavior and easy for him to I'M
derstand what misbehavior prevented
his having one. Often merely the sug-
gestion that doing something he Is told
not to do will prevent his getting q star
is enough to deter him from doing 1t.
For a whole week of stars we have a
special blue one edged with gold, and
this looks very pretty on the chart
which hangs on the wall for every one
in the family to admire"

That good nickel cigar which Vice
President Marshall said several wears

the tariff bill was up for discussion.
In TACT, 1t was the only item in the

There was Senator Hiram johnson

The fight revolved around the wran-
per used on the nickel cigar. The Mar
Snallltes were endeavoring to reduce the
DUTY on foreign wrappers, thus keeping
the quality and price the same.
When we reduced the revenue tax on
5-cent cigars per cent" Simmons of
North Carolina, another devotee of
cigars, explained, "the next year there

But Senator Hiram did not relish the
idea. ''''

BIZ J. r. GLASS.

Capt. Alfred Pearse, English artist,
author and inventor, seems to be one
of those persons unusually capable of
receiving psychic impressions.
He has testified to considerable
number Of startling psychic experiences,
among them the following:
That once young woman in spirit
came and asked him to tell her sweet
heart that she was dead. He went to
this man, who said, THAT is nonsense;
1 have just had a letter from her."
Nevertheless, going to the young lady'S
house, it was found that she had died
at the very time she appeared to Capt.
Pearse.
That on another occasion his father,
who had been dead two years, appeared
to him In the morning while he was
dressing. It was then Z o'clock-broad
daylight. The vision said to Capt.
Pearse, who did not catch the name,
- is dead"
Look, look" said the captain to his
wife, pointing to the figure Of his father.
However, it had vanished.
What Is the matter?" asked Mrs.
Pearse. He replied: Father appeared
at the door and said that some one has
/ died. I am afraid 1t is Annie" (The
captains sister,.
They telegraphed to the sisters ad-
| dress. She was all right.
you are always imagining these
things" said Mrs. Pearse to her hus-
band.
The next morning they received let
| ter from Australia. It stated that an
uncle, between whom and his father
there had been an extraordinarily strong
bond of sympathy, had died.
MY father apparently wished TO
break the news to me-" is Capt. Pearse's
comment.
On another occasion the spirit Of a
man he did not know came to him, ne
says, and told him, II want you to COM
Mort my brother" The captain did not
know to whom he was to go. but later
received an impression that the person
concerned was one of his acquaintances
Correspondence brought out the fact
| that the brother Of this acquaintance
had died at the time the thin man had
! appeared to Capt. Pearse, and the de-
! scription of the man in the vision fitted
that Of the dead man exactly.
Perhaps the most curious experience
related by the artist occurred after ne
! returned from France, where he had
been wounded in the foot. The foot was
being treated by London doctor
1t was at this time that a sensational
killing, which became known as 1.-The
Belgian murder" was interesting the
metropolis. Everybody was talking about
1t and the mystery surrounding it, A
Belgian woman had been done to death
| and her body, stuffed in a sack, thrown
over railing in Russell Square.
| Looking at picture of the woman In
a daily paper Capt. Pearse saw nothing
but the face Of a man. This he drew
and took to his friend, the doctor. The
latter shook his head in displeasure.
This is spiritualism." he said, "you
must not dabble in that. A friend of
mine has just died through dabbling In

The captain laughed and thought no
more about the matter. But In the mid
die Of the night the spirit of a woman
who was q stranger to him appeared
She had beautiful oval face, he says,

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, December /
(N.A.N.A).-They claim it's of again
the Bow engagement. So I said to the
powers that be:
II want the truth on this Clara Bow
engagement,
Said they, looking me straight in the
eye: II don't know how Harry Rich
man feels about Clara, but I do know
Clara Bow is taking this engagement
seriously. OF course, I doubt If there'll
be marriage, but she's certainly tax
ing this engagement seriously"
And that, mes enfants, is one type OF
Hollywood engagement.
With production slowing down to q
crawl for the holidays, the most inter-
esting lot in the village is the one
where Paul Whiteman is going sports
costume in great big way. Basque
beret, plus fourS and a pale blue polo
shirt make the Whiteman look like q
giant from Hans Christian Andersen
dressed for a baby party.
Whiteman eats exactly the OUTSIDE
luncheon you'd expect OF one of his
proportions. John Murray Anderson
who makes revueS that in turn make
revue history, is on the Whiteman pic
ture. He wears a gardenia, but Holly
wood will cure him of that in time.
Another feature of the revue will be
1.-THE Sisters G" of Berlin. They are
reminiscent somehow of Rosika and
Yanuzi Dolly and have the same baf-
fling technique.
The other picture on the lot is the
German war novel, "All Quiet on the
Western Front" I got a peep at the
script. and it hasn't been movieized
This Is more significant of village prog
reSS in the year past than any other
occurrence. A year ago a love theme
would have been concocted to denature
completely such strong drink as this
story will be.

I'VE are in for a lively time I can

We had quite a discussion regarding
obedience. I tried to tell them that I
believed it was only a means to an end
that training in self-control was one of
the reasons for expecting obedience
One mother said that her little girl al

and edge each with the lace crocheted
in much finer medium to suit the small
er size of the article. Or, if preferred,
the insertion may be of the f1let crochet
let into the cloth.
Position the border, whether It is
cross stitch or crochet, not less than
its width from the edge of the article
1t can be set well up onto the cloth.
Another row of insertion to form a
square about the center of the cloth
makes an attractive decoration treat
ment Allow the inner textile square to
be large enough to accommodate a
centerpiece, for otherwise the work will
be covered when the cloth Is in use.
A single pine tree makes an attrac-
tive motif to embroider on the corner
OF handkerchief. A row of the trees
as border to bureau scarf with the
lace for the edge is interesting. The
lace can be used to edge pillows, and
again the insertion can be employed.
The trees can be transferred to a
parchment lamp shade and be painted
as directed previously. The ways sug-
gested for the use of this pattern in
stitchery and crochet, paint and stain,
are but a fraction of the numerous ap-
plcations to which it can be put.
