right The long, fat window b-X or
which the spoolS rest is the needle
book. The leaves of silk are concealed
under the box, which is q strip of felt
machine stitched along the top to the
bag just under the place where the
spool fewer pots stand.
One of the flowers is a little round
pincushion like a modernistic blossom
A tulip holds a thimble concealed in
its cup-like flower. A tiny pair of scis-
sors is hidden away beneath spray OF
flowers and foliage, an emery is a bud

position to form another flower.
All the applique is of felt which does
not fray and is sufficiently firm to make
the containers. The pincushion is Of
silk 1t is a circle, with cross threads
CT heavy embroidery twist. 1t is made
precisely like the quaint tomato pin
cushions, familiar to every one.
The felt flowers and foliage are held
in place with stitches as invisible as
possible, which means that the thread
must match the material.
The bag can be of any preferred firm
textile, such as felt or aida canvas. 1t
is advisable to sew piece OF silk braid
along the top at the back of the front
bag portion, and under it run strip
of whalebone. A wide strip of genuine
or artificial whalebone, put in like
fashion at the back under the place
where the spools come is recommended.
A softer textile than the felt or canvas
can be used fer the bag if it is inter-
lined with stiffening.
Whatever the material, the bag
should be lined. Cotton-backed satin
is strong and makes an excellent lining
for sthe work bag and the handles,
which are of the same textile as the
outer portion of the bag.
Any one wishing more explicit d.
rections with size of flowers, foliage,
etc, can have them by sending 10 cents

veloped with a request to Lydia LIE

Danny's Discovery.
To dare and do must always thrill
Whate'er results in good or i'll


This is true saying. You will find
it so all through life. Anything you
may do that requires daring will give
you a thrill while you Sare doing it,
even II it be an unWiSe or even foolish
thing to do. But If the result proves
to be good there Is a tremendous salts
faction in addition to the thrill.
In climbing the stalk of the big sun
flower on the edge of. Farmer Browns
cornfield Danny Meadow Mouse was do
ing very daring thing. 1t may not
seem so to you, but it was for him. 1t
was as daring as it would be for you
to climb the taIlest tree of which you
know.
You see, Danny is very little fellow
who is at home only on the ground and
not given to climbing. The top of that
plant was as hiSn to him as the top of
a tall tree would be to you. So as he
climbed Danny felt very daring, and
the higher he got the greater the thrill
he felt. He wished that Nanny Meadow
Mouse could see him. yet he was glad
that she didn't, for he knew Just how
foolish she would think him and how
she would scold.

he, but anyway I'll have the satisfac

Everyday Psychology
By DIR. JESSE W. sPROwLs.
Do You Know Yourself2

About the first thing the average lay
man says to a psychologist is this: Tell
me what I am"
This request is not altogether a mat
ter of ignorance. It's a statement of a
psychological situation about which
many so-called psychologists seem to
know so little. It's sensible request.
Suppose you would like to know what
you are from the psychological point Of
view. And who doesn't?
In general. the answer is this: You are
bunch of habits-habits which, on the
whole, At well into the established order
of socially getting along. These habits
operate so mechanically, so automatic
ally, that no one is ordinarily concerned
about what you are. You are taken for
granted! When one seriously insists on
finding out what he is, you may be
pretty sure that that person has recently
become painfully aware of the operation
of some social habits.
It is possible to take too much notice
of physical ills. Just so, you may easily
become too interpretive about your
self"

out where he was.
But presently she came close to the
stalk Of that big plant and smelled
around it. At once her nose told her
that Danny had been there and climbed

see him because leaf was in the way
Then Danny had happy thought. He
had a seed which he hadn't eaten. He
dropped it and it fell almost in front

she did just what he hoped she would

at Danny. Where did you drop it

Nanny said nothing until she had

RELIEF ACCORD
REACHED TODAY
Both Parties Agree On
Compromise Sent
To Hoover

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5-(Pl-An
agreement on the relief controversy
acceptable 10 both republican and
democratic leaders in the senate
was forwarded today 10 President
Hoover.
What attitude the president will
take remains To be seen. He has
taken an adamant position against
making federal funds available 10
the Red Cross for relief purposes.
The proposal calls for an addi-
ton or SIS. 900. 1000 to the drought
loan fund already appropriated BY
congress to take the place of the
disputed SIS. 900 900 added by the
senate to the interior department
appropriation bill. and aimed TO
be given to the Red Cross. House
republican leaders have opposed the
fund vigorously.
The democratic forces have spon-
sored the SIS 5000 0 fund. Under
today's suggested compromise. there
would be some liberalization OF the
terms under which the additional
$25.000.000 could be loaned 10 the
drought stricken farmers.
The exact language or the agree
ment was withheld pending the
outcome Of the negotiations.
The solution for the controversy.
which is threatening an extra ses-
sion Of the new congress In the
spring. was pronounced acceptable
by both republican and democratic
leaders In the senate.
