MOTHERS
Confetti.
AND THEIR CHILDREN


My children like to snip and cut
paper, so l make use of this desire on
their part to amuse them on rainy
days. I have them sit around a table
in the center of which is plenty of
paper of all kinds for shipping into
bits. Circulars, handbills, catalogues,
colored newspaper supplements, wrap
ping paper and old envelopes are al
fine for the manufacture of confetti.
Each child has pair of scissors and
a box for his cuttings They vie with
each other in seeing who can cut the
most confetti in a given time; also to
see who shall get the least on the floor.
We store the confetti in pasteboard
boxes or in paper bags, marking each
childs container with his initials, and
put it away until Halloween or some
other mirthful occasion which seems to
be appropriate for confetti

Impy the black Chipmunk was the
most puzzled Chipmunk that ever lived.
Not only had Mrs. Impy disappeared,
but a room in the house had disap-
peared. The disappearance of the room
was much more Of a mystery than the
disappearance Of Mrs. Impy. Mrs.
Impy might simply be outside some
where, but a room couldn't run away.

Good Taste Forbids
Conspicuous Actions.
By FLORENCE la GANKE.

The Good Taste Club members we're
anxiously awaiting Mrs. Nancy Pages
return. They wanted to talk over the
correct etiquette for automobile outings
They had discussed the whole thing
among themselves. The question had
arisen over one mothers refusal to let
her daughter go to a neighboring town
to see a picture show. This mother
said that she would not let her daughter
ride through the streets in the rumble
seat of a roadster
When discussing it with the girls she
said she had seen too many couples

MY Neighbor Says:

To cool hot liquid or food, try
covering it with a cloth, and
putting rubber band around it
to keep it in place. It can be
set outside a window or door
without fear of dust. A bowl is
very convenient for the purpose,
and sugar bags. ripped open and
washed, for covers.
When preserving spread a large
sheet of newspaper over the
table. When you are through
peeling fruits and preserving
paper may be removed and table
will be quite clean.
In making coffee the water
must be boiling at the top boiling
point before it is poured on the
coffee. Water at the highest pos
sible temperature is necessary for
the most efficient extraction of
flavor, aroma and color.

When it thickens add one cupful

used instead of shrimps and is
very nice.

New Dresses and SIenderness
By MARY MARSHALL.

For 10 years and more we have all
talked a lot about the Importance of
being slender We have counted calories
and dieted and played tennis and done
our daily dozens all because we knew
that fashion demanded a fairly slender
figure, and We deluded ourselves into
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-09-20

thinking that the clothes we wore were
designed to make us look as slender as
possible.
But now that new page Of fashions
has been turned it really seems as if
all this effort to reduce was due to the
fact that the long-waisted, short-skirt-
ed severely straight dresses really made
us look just about as tublike as possible.
At any rate the new dresses with their
defined waistlines and their longer skirts
do make us look ever so much simmer

When the report is finished, the Trib-

expect to unite in a determined cam
paign to break the underworld grip.
The Tribune quoted an unnamed
member of the Crime Commission as
saying: 1--WE find that 90 per cent of
the Chicago unions are honestly Off
cered and are fair in all their dealings.
But Capone and George Barker now
have per cent of the unions in their
clutches and nothing but trouble and
eXtortion can be expected from them"

former convict who has been suspected
in many killings, including the Ioran
