Plaids Combined With Plain Fabric
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Plaids have been lingering on the
sidelines of fashion and occasionally
bursting into the limelight for some
time. Last Winter the plaid silk blouse
seemed likely to become most unwel-
come addition to the wardrobe, Tor as
soon as you had summoned up courage
to buy one you found that every other
woman on the block had done the same
thing. But now plaids have returned
with a variety that will prevent them
from becoming commonplace, no mat
ter how popular And If you like pur-
suing fashions to their sources, you may
consider plaids as part and parcel of the
Empress Eugene fashions, for Eugene
was, as you know. a Spanish princess
with Scotch blood in her veins, and
when she became Empress of France
was the cause of a tremendous interest
in plaids.
This Autumn plaids are usually COM
bined with plain fabric. For instance,
you may wear fairly large plaid of
blue and green for the skirt with plain
blue wool for the jacket blouse, belted
with green. Or you may reverse the
order and wear plain skirt with plaid
body.
You may have a jacket suit with a
plaid skirt and plain black or dark
blue or dark green belted jacket, or you
may wear a plain wool dress with a
vestee and under cuffs of red, white
and blue plaid lawn.

Structive criticism.
A husband who blameS his wife when
the running of the house is not to his
liking may have Just reason. Perhaps
she is a poor houSekeeper. But she IS
apt to remember the unkindly criticism
rather than to mend her ways. If she
is good housekeeper, she resents the
blame, knowing that the man knows
nothing of the besetting difficulties.
How she wishes he could run the place
for just one dayl However, the good
housekeeper is not apt to be blamed for
her housework unless the man is not
well, or has been upset by his Own
business problems, or Is disappointed
in her unexpected failure, which, OF
course, bother6 the woman sorely. A
little cheerful sympathy, not blame, is
needed to tide over the situation.
A wife who blames her husband for
not making more money or for not be-

actually has good business acumen, and
finances have gone wrong temporarily,

Household Methods
BY BETSY CALLIsTER.

Ready-to- hang window curtains are
one of the big conveniences the shops
now offer to the house furnisher.
These curtains come in standard
sizes. AS most of them are made with
valances that hang over the curtains,
readjustments of length may be made
under the valance. And, of course. the
width is easily adjusted by fulling the
curtains more or less on the rods.
These curtains come in brocaded
damask, in cretonne, in printed linen,
in taffeta, in net. Really in such a
wide assortment Of fabrics and colors
any color scheme and taste may be
satisfied.
Some of them are ruff1ed around the
inner edges, ana are provided with
ruffled tie-backs. Others are bound
with contrasting color around the edge.

The walking stick is very clever. His
long legs are twisted so that they ap-
pear like slender twigs. This is known
as protective resemblance.
Camouhage Is of great assistance to
helpless insects which must crawl about
for their living. Some if the pill bugs
curl up and play dead. There are many
insects that feign death and will even
let you prick them and not finch.
Butterflies are adopts in deceiving.
1t enables them to escape their many
enemies. They initiate a butterfly that

This Is known as protected" and the
act OF imitation as aggressive mimlcry.
Now the bsgworm hangs on your most
valuable trees unsupported and I'M

thatched home and draEs it about with

for her coming family. Then she
fastens 1t to a twig and 1t looks so
pretty you think it is a part of your
tree. In that little swinging home are
over 200 future leaf eaters.
Some clever deceiverS creep into dis
carded homes or skins and make their
escape in this way. Playing 'possum
is an old trick and is used many times
by beetles, measuring worms and other
insects.
There are bees without stings which
hover over the fragrant flowers and
look SO like the determined nectar
hunter that you cannot tell them apart
unless you are acquainted with them.
They even rush at you If you disturb
them.

and to the possibilities for taking rene
dial steps.
Washington officials are not disposed
to set up any rigid rules as to how the
various banking groups should go about
correcting the situation. The methods
may differ according to the communi-
ties. In general it Is felt that financial aid
for sound projects which may be threat

dificulties is justified and that this aid
would help do away with a factor
which Is causing uncertainty and exer-
