Piping Gives Touch of Color
By MARY MARSHALL.

is cut with great care and precision.
It should be cut on the bias, the strips
being an inch or an inch and q quarter
in width. It is well worth while to take
pains with this initial step of the work.
The bias strips should be cut even with
the thread of the material and put to-
gether in Quarter-inch seams, which
should be pressed fat.
The diagrams show how the piping
Is applied. Cut the edge of the ma
terial to which the piping Is to be
applied-the shape that you want the
piece to be when finished. Then mark
a line an even distance from the edge
usually about three-eighths Of an inch.
Mark this lightly with q pencil or with
q row Of basting threads as shown In
sketch marked A. Next haste the bias
piping material to the right side along
the penciled line with the right side OF
the piping material facing the right side
of the material to which 1t Is applied
with edges of the piping even with the
other material, as shown in sketch
marked B. Now stitch the two ma
terials together along the line of the
basting or pencil mark. Fold back the
piping strips and crease along the edge
of the foundation material so that the
right side looks like the sketch G. The
wrong side is shown in sketch D. Either
blind-stitch down the edge of the pip
ing on the wrong side or machine
stitch along the inside edge Of the pip
ing on the right side.

disease') which Is often associated
with it,
If your child has acute tonsillitis of
any kind you will keep the child in
bed or at least at rest for q day or two
If you are prudent for that is the
best way to prevent the possible
complication of joint Inflammation or
heart lining inflammation. If you be-
lieve In playing safe, even ct the cost
OF doctors advice, you win call the
doctor whenever your child develops
an acute sore throat, and follow the
doctors instructions
Rest, especially bed rest is one of
the most helpful remedies we have for
the child with chorea. But only the
attending physician can advise how
much rest the patient requires, how
many days in bed now and again, or
how many hours in bed every day, for
the child's best interest.
In the past, perhaps, the doctors
were not clear about the remedial value
or rest IN chorea. They stressed too
much the idea of protecting the patient
against annoyance, reasonable par
entail discipline, the fair competition
OF his brothers or sisters or other chill
dren. This sort OF suggestion probably
contributed toward the DEVELOPMENT of
the popular notion that the choreic in
valid must be given his own way and
never be crossed or opposed In anything.
! That Is wrong, and 1t is especially
wrong for the best interest of the sick
child. Rest, proper medical care, free
dom from mischievous advice, and a
fair share of ordinary kindness from
the other members of the household
are needed. Coddle, pamper and humor
! the invalid too much, drive home your
morbid notion that the child is weak
or nervous" and very likely you'll
make him permanent nervous wreck

A Sermon for Today
Bright Side of Things.
BY REV. JOHN r.. GUM

Now men see not the bright light
which Is in the clouds. Job xxxvii, 81.
John Stuart Mill, in a famous state
ment, after referring to the excrescences
upon the trees, to the blights upon the
fruit, to the devastations Of storms. to
the prevalence Of sickness and Ill health,
said: IF I we're making q world,
would make a better Job Of It."
How much better than this gloomy
outlook is the optimism expressed by
Frank l.. Stanton, he Georgia poet:
This old world we're living in
hghty hard to beat;
You get thorn with every rose,
49, amt the roses sweet?"
As Sam Jones, the famous Georgia
'ar list. once said There may be
larger worlds, and grander and better
" aus t.ian this; but this is a great
world. Its mountains are Gods thoughts
piled up; its prairies Gods thoughts
spread out: its rivers Gods thoughts in
motion; its flowers Gods thoughts in
bloom; Its harvestS Gods thoughts In
bread; its dewdropS Gods thoughts in
pearls; and wherever we look about us.
every object smiles back upon us and
says, I am but the gift of a gracious
Father to his Children"
This may not be the best possible
world, but 1t has been thousand times
better to me than / have been to it.
1t seems a shame, with all the good
things we have, that we should be
forever complaining about good things
we do not have. We look too much at
the clouds and not enough at 1.-The
bright light which is in the clouds"
Watch the dog in your room and you
will see that If there is bright spot
anywhere on the floor ne will &c
straight to it and curl himself up in It
But many humans do not have the
good sense to look for life's bright spots
Life would be happier for us all, II we
would try more to see the bright side
/ Of things

OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRI.

mother q nibble of his cracker; to let
grandmother smell his flower; to be
gentle with sisters hair, gradually eX-
tending the field. AS he grows older he
learns not to waken older people with
his noise; to keep his things in order.
To respect other folks property; to
consider other folks feelings.
A 2-year-old child does not under
stand when you tell him his yelling
disturbs his ne1ghbors, but 9-year-old
one knows perfectly what is involved,
and If he has been well trained will
consider his neighbors. A 5-year- old
will not know what we mean when we
tell him not to dig holes in the lawn,
his own or his neighborS'. You will have
to set aside a place for his digging,
show him the pretty green of the lawn,
make him conscious of the idea. Then
at nine years of age he will not ruin
hedges. break windows, fish gold fish
out Of q pool, tread on flowers and the
like.
This consideration must be taught
children. First by example. II the
members of the family are considerate
of each other If they speak gently and
act courteously the child will do the
same. II the family speak of their
neighbors with consideration, mention
the beauty of their garden, praise the
order and care of the place next door
the children will adopt the pattern.
Make unselfiShness a pleasant expert
ence. Praise a child for stepping care
fully, for taking care of his things
and those of other people Tell him
how kind of him it was to play quietly
In the morning so you could have a nap
If his efforts are rewarded he will
grow In unselfishness He will cultivate
a pleasant personality and win love
1t takes a lifetime to win to altruism
but good beginning In childhood goes
far In that direction.

By DONALD A. CRAIG.

August 20, IS61.-Military authorities
here received information late ton]ent
| that Gen. Beauregard, commanding
the Confederate Army in the 'it4iliSS
of Fairfax Court House, Va, has with
drawn his whole force to point the
advance line of which Is mile oack
of the Court House, but has left
picket guard there.
The reason for this movement Is not
known at the War Department, al
though 1t is supposed that 1t is Tor the
| chosen position south OF Fairfax Court
| House.
Information has leaked out that two
! foreign volunteer officers with the Union
| Army engaged in O duel here yesterday.
While details are lacking, 1t is under
stood that the duel was between two
French gentlemen-M. TaSsilier, ex-
/ captain OF the French company of the
Garibaldi Regiment, and Mr.. Chandone,
the present captain Of that company.
The difflculty appears to have grown
out of the dissensions In the Garibaldi
Regiment.
The parties to the duel fought with
sabers and both were slightly wounded,
II the seconds had not interfered, it Is
said TO have been likely that one or the
other Of the dueltstS would have been
killed, as they fought with much ami
mostly and determination. The place
of the meeting was near the Green
wood Cemetery.
The rush of persons at the headquar-
tiers Of the provost marshal for passes
to cross the Potomac River continues
to be undated. Young and old, white
and black, they stood in line today from
o'clock in the morning until o'clock
in the afternoon, the hour when the
issuance OF passes each day ceases.
Under the military regulations no
civilian can pass over the river without
pass from the provost marshal.

ct SOONER RETURN TO PORTUGAL AND TO MY FAMILY"

When Catherine Of Braganza, in
fanta OF Portugal, became the wife Of
Charles II Of England she was utterly
united for the place. Charles was q
voluptuary. without principles, while
she had lived according to the strictest
rules. His court was the most hcen-
tious In Europe. Poor Catherine knew
absolutely nothing Of the world.
She had not been Queen four weeks
before Charles was deserving her and
paying tribute to all the beauties of
his court. This when, four days after
meeting her, he had written Lord Clar-
endon praising her good qualities and
declaring, "I must be the worst man
living If I be not a good husband"
GATHERINGS failure to hold Charles
was not due, apparently, to the fact
that she had no charms; it was merely
that there were so many others about
whose attractions were so much greater.
And Charles, too, was utterly lacking In
scruples. He speedily precipitated her
into q misery of jealousy from which
there was no recovery.
Before she left Portugal she had
been warned never to permit the name
of the Duchess of Cleveland, Charles
favorite lady, to be mentioned in her
presence. But she had no sooner re-
ceived the list of her household than
she found that the Duchess had been
recorded as one of the ladies of her
bedchamber. She instantly drew her
pen through the name.
Charles expostulated.
"I would sooner return to Portugal
and to my family than to submit to
such an insult" said Catherine.
Charles later had the effrontery to
introduce the duchess to the Queen
at a state reception. Catherine paled
and burst into tears. The blood flowed
from her nose and she tainted.
The court perceived that the situa-
ton resolved into struggle for su-
premacy between the Queen and the
duchess. Alone and friendless, 1t was
inevitable that Catherine should lose.
The result was unexpected. Gather
inc surrendered completely. She went
so far as to make the duchess her in
innate. Hitherto bound by the mex
perience of convent inmate, she
plunged into the widest adventures and
frolics She went about London masked,
entered houses where she was not

known and danced madly. Once she
came back to Whitehall in q cart.
All this gayety was pretended. AS q
matter Of fact, Catherine loved Charles
and was furiouSly jealous. II child
had come to her: she might have borne
her indignities more easily.
Sometimes her inner feelings cropped
out. For instance. her maids having
one day spent a wearying, long time
on her toilet, the Duchess Of Cleveland
said, Il wonder, your majesty can sit
so long"
IT have had so much reason to ex-
ercise my patience" replied the Queen,
that can bear with 1t very well"
She was deeply affected by Charles
death. Some years later, in 1892, she
returned to Portugal, where she died
| in 1705. Habits of economy had en-
abled her to accumulate large fortune.

Everyday Psychology
"You Never Can Tell"

Nearly every one imagines he is good
at reading character on short notice.
What usually happens Is that the fellow
you think you are sizing up Is generally
few jumps ahead Of you in conceal
ing his real self. Snap judgments are
only the reflections Of what YOU mo-
mentarily see. And so long Is you
don't know the difference, you 60 on
reading" thinking you know how.
In order to have anything like fair
notion Of q persons character, you
must have known him over q long
period Of time. Also you must have
observed his reactions under q variety
Of situations. Taking this history into
consideration and making certain al
lowancss here and there, you may, IL
you are humanity honest, arrive at
something like reasonable appraise-
ment.
The best way to study the character
Of another Is to see him in action under
stress. When he is in a crisis, his
character streaks will come out. You
must have been surprised some time
or other to find a quiet, retiring fellow
showing the boldneSs of a lion, sup
poSedly mastery fellow running away
from situation.
Why do we all have these Streaks
that never come out except in crisis?
The answer Is that We all are for the
most part average human beings,
brought up under average conditions,
called upon to meet ordinary situations
and expected to respond in socially use
full ways. The extremes of character
formation, that is, the streaks that
show up in a crisis, are overgrown by
host of every-day habits, which salts
fly everyday conditions.
Given these conditions, it's absolutely
impossible to read another'S character
on short notice.

Childish Selfshness.

Selflshness is not a crime in little
children. It is normal. All he knows
about the world is what is related to
himself. He is the center of his own
life, and rightly so. He must gather
ideas, generate power, add to his
spiritual stature, and how else but by
taking thought Of himself?
But happiness does not grow out of
selhshness. Little by little the child
sheds his selfish rush and the light of
his altrusic spirit shines through. That
takes q lifetime. You have not arrived
a. that place yourself, as yet.
To teach child unselfishneSs we
begin by teaching him to consider the
rights and feelings Of others. This is
