We also serve -. on porches, cold and still;
Beneath the frosty stars our beds are white,
A long, dim line; there's snow upon the sill -.
We think of home-of ChrStmas-herc tonight.
We think of wives and sweethearts left behind:
For their dear Sakes we must, we must, get WE'LL
But these long months, this weary, hopeless grind &. .
And yet we must 60 on; must not rebel.
Some day, perhaps, our bodies will be strong;
The world outside will know us once again,
And these dim nights that sometimes stretch so long
Will be a memory of vanished pain.
And you who hurry by on Christmas Day.
With Christmas peace and gladness in your heart,
Think once of us, before you go your way
We also serve. We also do our partl

Pewter grows in popula rity with colonial styles

formal Or elaborate perod settings.
 For that reason, also, in table decoration. pewter goes best with gay informal china and coarse un- bleached linens, rather than with heavy silver service plates and fine damasks.
 Strikinsly attractive is a table set entirely with pewter. The soft gray Of the metal will show off us modest beauty very well against natural-colored linen place mats with broad blue stripes. A center- piece Of blue candles and a pewter bowl of red tulips or pale yellow narcissi would be proper.
 Pewter accessories. such as salt and pepper shakers, creamer and sugar bowl, candlesticks and Tea and coffee services. get along pleasantly with patterned china scenes or flowers.
 And for color, there's ruby or blue 1 glassware.

 In room with cretonne and chintz drapes, for instance, an un- usual but "homey" mantel treat rnent would have a grouping ot pewter candlesticks, plates and jugs And for the desk in such T room, what could be more right than pewter lamp of an old oil lamp shade?

 Instead of being wakened 10 a de- sire to improve his ways, he natural ly summons his energies to a de- fense Of himself as he is
 If mothers who correct their chill dren in public could see themselves as others see them or were in the least aware Of their own motivation. they would perhaps mend their ways.
 The most flatter!ng explanation is that they forget that their children are people and think of them sln- ply as a responsibility, something to be managed
 But that is not all. It is obvious that they are more interested in having their children appear well before others than in helping them to good behavior in the slow way Of growth.
 Too often I have seen mother publicly check and command her child in ways that showed plainly her own need to impress others by the extent of her authority.

 Panne velvets. moires, satins, taf- tetas and new cottons of fascinating design all are being used to make them. They come in chocolate moire. crean-in coffee colored eel anese, and a dash of peach. lilas, pale coral pink, cream beige with tangerine and yellow, flesh with honeydew.
 The beauty of these comfortaolcs is meant to be admired for itself and also in the harmony it achieves with the new colors in sheets, spreads and summer blankets.
 The borders, particularly. are masterpieces of the arts and crafts 0. comfortable making. Some Of them have as many as twelve bands Of stitching, and. in those held to be exclusive" the principal motif is in the border so it's beauty is not hidden when the comfortable is folded.

 Another series successfully blends three colors. One con- tortable has a lavender center with i'll a double band of peach and a wider border of turquoise blue.
