FAIRNESS TS. SACRIFICE Ily Alice Judson peAIc

To sacrifice ones selfish wishes
 for the happiness of others com monly has been regarded as a high spiritual achievement. Yet in real life nobody loves d martyr For, hu man nature being what it is, the
 martyr tends 10 carry with him slightly curdled disposition born Of the fact that he is not happy, and that the world has not recognized the beauty of his sacrifice with of
 ferings of love and praise.
 And he who walks about with an acid face and a suffering expression
 makes no contribution to the hap piness of his fellows.
 Sacrifice in the sense of giving up methng to which one has a per fectly normal right is unhealthy and unsocial, for it means that the mar
 tyr through his martyrdom culti-
 yates selhshness on the part Of oth-
 CTS while he himself develops the doubtful virtue of self righteousness.
 The mother is wise who leaves out 1 the word sacrifice from her preach ments, and perhaps the word unsel-
 fshness as well. substituting an
 ideal of fairness in their place. Fair
 ness is virtue which may he prac
 cised day by day, which the whole
 experience of life proves to be both sound and practical.
 It is entirely proper to train Billy to take turns with his brother in the use of the new express wagon, but if is foolish to expect him to give 1t up to him for whole morning.

Tiny Refreshment Napkins
of Many Materials.
By FLORENCE LA GANKE.

Nancy wrote home to her family that
she was having glorious vacation,
seeing many old friends, making new
ones and gathering ideas for all sorts
of things. Just wait until get home
and show you my collection of little re-
freshment napkins. They are as gay
and as sunny as this Southland"
Her first little napkin, which was
about z inches square, was made of cot
ton crepe in yellow. She had fringed
the four sides, stitched along the edge
of material to keep fringing from going
in farther. In this set she had six diff
ferent colors, all pastel shades Of cotton
crepe.
Her second one was Of white hand
kerchief linen with little corner ap-
plique of fruit. two cherries with tiny
red leaves These napkins were finished
with hand-hemstitched edge.
The third napkin was by 8 inches
with hand-rolled hem. 1t was made Of
the popular printed handkerchief linen.
She chose small pattern in red and
white and used no trimming. These, as
she said, could be made up in any color
scheme
Some checked gingham in the finest
quality was made into 5-inch squares
with a small applique in each corner.
These were just the thing for guests
use when popcorn balls were passed
Nancy suggested making these of polka
dotted English print in white with red
dots. A large cloth might be made to
go with the napkins. In the very center
| Of the cloth large applique flower or
| fruit could be appliqued and there you
are" said she, with a picnic cloth de

These little napkins are nice to use when
a beverage is being served. Write to Nancy

today are compelled to suffer the in

a short speech dragged the weeping

Heckling is still a favorite indoor
sport during a political campaign. Few
public men have not had to compete
with "hecklers." A legislator who was
reelected to Office last November tells
us of an experience of the late Champ
Clark. He said: 'Mr. Clark had the
happy faculty of being able to parry
unexpected and inconvenient interrupt
tons. On one occasion he was speak
ing at a rather noisy meeting, and
after a short time a large chunk of
wood was thrown at him. Luckily the
aim was bad and 1t fell harmlessly on
the platform. Mr.. Clarke picked it up
and showed it to the audience. MY

mock anxiety. lone of our opponents

Some Neglected Places.

can think of few things that look
worse than girl in evening dress with
a deep v of tough, red-looking skin
where she has exposed her chest to the
weather. Against the finenesS and
whiteness of the protected skin this
little bit shows up badly by contrast.
In most cases 1t looks red and raw and
very ugly.
BY all means wear your daytime
clothes with little opening In the
front; such dresses are much more
youthful than those which close tight
around the neck and ever SO much more
becoming. But protect the skin so the
Spring winds do not make 1t hard and
tough looking. It's so easy to do 1t.
You either fold scarf across your
neck when you go outdoors, or you very
carefully rub cold cream on the ex-
same lotion here as you do on your
hands. You also use powder, which
protects the skin little bit.
There is another neglected spot-the
back Of the neck. Most women usually
carefully cold cream their faces and
some the front of the neck. But very
few continue the massage all the way
around to tho back and even down a
little over the shoulders. Yet this part
Of the body needs as much care as the
face, in fact more care. Cloth collars
rub against it, colored materials come in
contact with it, necklaces are rubbed
I'D and down against the skin by the
pressure of the collar. Metal and silk
and wool pick up dirt from the air and
rub it into the pores of this delicate
skin.
Use cleansing cream, rub it in well
and wipe it off with cloth wrung from
hot water. In this way there is no
cream left to stain your clothing and
yet the skin has been thoroughly
cleansed. Use ice as well whenever you
use 1t on your face.
M. L. LIP to the present time
there Is no better method of destroy
ing superfluous hair than the electric
needle for each separate hair.
Anxious-Trim all the split ends OF
your hair, and continue to massage the
scalp every day to improve its circula-

some insidious illness. In recent years
1t has happened often enough that a
girl in her teens, the time when lung
tuberculosis usually develops, has played
with the dangerous game of dieting, or.
worse, taking dope in silly effort to

Here it is well to repeat that nearly
all height weight tables now in popular

compiled on the basis Of old-time ideals
and standards and were accurate

girls and women 40 years ago or 20
