Lois was trying to fix up the guest room for a friend who was passing through town and stopping over night at the Millcrs' home. She looked at her guest room with critical eye and decided at once she would have to make q new lamp shade She took off the old cover ing, measured the circumference of the lower ring on the frame. She used a piece of string, then measured it's length on q yard stick. She planned shade of manila paper. Because she was using shallow pleats she doubled the measure of the circumference. Had she been planning on deep pleats she would have tripled the length of the cir conference. She cut the shade three inches deeper than the distance be- tween top and bottom ring as measured on one of the wire con- meeting spokes. She planned nc decoration on the outside of shade but planned to oil it on inside with boiled linseed oil. She knew she should do this after the pleats were laid.
 : She measured the length whlcf now Is known as width of shade
 The width of paper is now knowr as depth of shade. The first fold was made 1engthwise of paper ir

o-day we shall visit the little known country called Bolivia. in the west central part of South America
 Bolivia is larger than Germany and France combined; but it con- tains a smaller number of people than Holland.
 If you locate Bolivia on map, you may guess at least one of the reasons 1t has Il small population. The western part of the country IS filled with high mountains, and mountain lands are likely to have few people.
 The eastern part of the country is filled with tungles. Jungle lands contain great numbers of animals | but seldom have large number of people.
 In BoIivia's jungles are thou- sands of monkeys, along with tapirs | armadilIos, pumas and Jaguars. IT l the swamps are alligators of mighty size. The forests contain the prized mahogany and rosewood trees, as well as many other kinds. Birds | with bright-colored feathers fly from | tree to tree.
 Travelling from the jungle low lands toward the Andes. we go uf valleys which have fertile soil. IT these valleys the natives raise rice corn. wheat and other crops.
 After q time we reach the place which is called the highest capito city in the world.' The city fl named La Paz, and Is more thar 12,000 feet above sea level. Th' population Is 150,000. (Sucre,

These pleats reversed the previous ones, so the finished shade looked accordion .pleated. She measured down one inch from top. also three inches from top and marked the places on edge of each fold. She punched holes at back of each plcat or fold. The one within an inch of top gave the top ring of frame place to cling. A cord or ribbon was run through holes three inches from top. Before this was put in the shade was oiled and dried. Then seam was pasted and adjusted on shade.

YOUR CHILDREN
byNpKobeYfsBalaon 0io5I BY NfA SERVICE: INC (

Is inc Nursery school going to be a success?
 Is it a good thing for children of two or three to be in these sub- limated nurseries every day from nine until three?
 I cannot attempt to answer this question, for like all experiments the movement will have to work it. self out.
 And if the experiment dies na- tural death, or is diverted by neces- sity from it's original purpose, we shall still call them blessed. for a. side from any training purpose, these little havens are q boon for the working mother.
 The preparation for this work Is long and tedious. None but experts are accepted to undertake the job of handling other peoples children. and in training them morally and physically. My hat off to the Nur- sery school!
 But---welI. there are always "buts' to something new.
 The other day 1 saw new little fellow of two and half glue his face to the window-pane and watch for his mother for hours. He wouldn't move away from that window. 1 | happened to know that his mother had sent him because she thought | he needed to play with other chill dren. It was as much of wrench for her to part with him as 1t was | for him to go. Her motives were of the finest.
 Held Self Apart. The teachers were marvellous. They did everything they could to divert him. make him feel at home. to cooperate in their little plays. But no. He wouldn't eat his lunch either, and at nap-time he just cuddled down on his tiny bed, big eyed and silent. and lay there. What was going on in his mind? That went on for week. Final ly he began to take on interest. He allowed himself to be ''zippered up in his outdoor suit, and played in the yard with the others. But one of the assistants told me that about i half the time he stayed by the fence and watched down the street. I don't know! I would say that four Is q good age to start child on his outside experiences, proyid- ed he Is getting intelligent handling from his parents in the meantime, and Is being kept happy without be- | ing spoiled. Yet it may be that two Is not too early to begin this type of work. l am not judging. am mere | Iy discussing.
 Continued unhappincss sometimes leaves a mental scar. Some chil- dren adapt themselves easily to new conditions. Others, the sensitive in-
 trovert type. do not. I believe the answer lies with the child himself whether he is or K not suitable ma | terial for the "early" school life away from his mother.

But 1t wasn't Jack who was wait ing at the door when Sue hurried to answer the imperative ringing of the bell. It was Sarah Slade.
 Sue Merryman, If you don't look like forgotten carnation from q funeral. I'll make up my mind to like my job. What in the world is the matter?" She followed Sue to the dining room.
 "Nothing!"
 Sarah's eyes opened wider. Sue, if you are wasting any worry be- cause Jack saw Barbara, stop it! It was business" Then she laughed softly. "Of course you aren't stupid enough to do that. You're afraid you implied that he wasn't q bril- liant young attorney. aren't you? Your fond and adoring eyes would have belied you. they can't keep secrets. :. and men will believe in the eyeglgnx every time" zs

 Put on some rouge and snap out of it."
 The other members of the family had eaten and were in the living room. Sue sat listening to Sarah, drinking black coffee. and wonder ing if the telephone would ring. Sarah laughed softly at last. "Sue, l I'm glad you had some spunk!
