Bows Play Important Part
By MARY MARSHALL.

I terial passes around the lower edge OF
the short sleeves and Is tied in q prin
small bow Just above the elbow.
Bows made from fabric are usually
not tied in the traditional way. The
strip is folded so that there is O loop
and an end at each side and then q
short separate strip of the same mate
rial is brought around the center and
sewed in position on the wrong side.
This makes flatter trimming than the
bow all tied from one strip.
If you are planning to make bows OF
material for any of your washable
dresses, the strips should be arranged
so that they may conveniently be un-
tied when the dress Is washed and
ironed. Cut two strips of material of
the desired length and width, plus a
quarter of an inch all around for turn
ing in. Put the strips together, right
sides facing. and stitch a quarter Of an
inch along the two long sides and one
short end Now with the help of a
blunt pencil turn the strips right side
out. Turn in the edges that have been
left open and overland neatly, The
small strip to be used for the center OF
the bow may be made In the same way.
The sketch shows q folded bow-like
trimming for a blouse. The material Is
cut. two pieces like the diagram. and
scanned along all edges, leaving a space
big enough so that you can turn the
thing right side out like pillowcase.
Pull the points out neatly, and stitch
or press around the edges. Then fold
along the black lines and the dotted
lines. Lay a double strip of the mate
rial across the folded ornament and
sew it into place.

Boys Taste in Books

Ralph made face. Cant have q
couple of eggs?"
You'll eat what you're given OF
nothing"
Ralph's book diet and his food diet
were superimposed.
Often food diet has to be so, but with
books it is different.
So many parents overdo the book idea
at the wrong age. or rather do not
make study of the psychology that lies
behind the love of good books.
In the first place a boy or girl goes
through certain cycles Of development
in which certain things have special
appeal. Adventure. well told, is as
much classic as the life of old Peter
Whoosit Moreover, if children are to
days of the world and its people, that
knowledge should be put over. and is,
in a hundred books that use some de-
lightful agency to gain the attention OF
the reader.
I've seen many parents turn away
from gorgeous books in store, turned
out for boys and girls, simply because
they had the word Adventure" on the
back, or the picture Of pirate or a
cowboy. They have made up their minds
that anything associated with romance
of that sort is time waster.
And that is such a mistake.
But the biggest thing of all is that II
we want children to read we must begin
with books they understand, and that
come easily within the scope of their
comprehension. The book habit can
never be established by reading to Eliza
beth Jane five years old, the story OF
Barbara Frietchie. Elizabeth Jane, will
get the idea that all books are like this

Those Toys.


Toys accumulate. Father brings
home a woolly bear. Auntie finds a
doll that is just the thing. Cousin
Mary brings in boxful of things she
thought too lovely to be left behind in
the shops. Uncle Godfrey specializes
in balls and grandma in tiny automo-
biles Soon the child can scarcely see
over the top of the heap.
It seems to me that the toy store
of the family ought to be administered
better SO that there is rotation of toys,
stimulation of different interests, an
ability to be content with little and
make the most of it. All of these
points are valuable to the training of
children.
Toys are the childrens tools. They
educate themselves by their play. II
there are too many toys on the scene
the child sees none. knows none, gets
nothing out of his riches. There must
be a selection and as the children who
use toys are too young to make selec-
tions that are worth while, mother will
have to do it.
Try to have a closet for toys A
basement where children play is ideal
for this plan. The closet can be handy
to the play room. If there is a barn
Cnere can De closet there. An attic,
when one can be found, Is the right
place for play and for toys that are
stored.
Select a few toys that interest the
| child. Always make sure to have one
| toy that he can do something to, or
with, that will change the situation.
Blocks do this; sand and modelling clay,
| and puzzles do this. Add one that pro-
vides activity-balls are for this. And
! one that is passive, just comfort toy
such as Teddy Bear. or a rabbit, or a
little horse on wheels.
Put all the toys that are not in use
cut of sight. Lock them up Allow
the child to play with those he is using
until he seems to have need of some
thing else. Then change Off Put the
one he is weary of in the closet and
let him have a new one 1t is surpris-
ing and pleasing, too, to discover that an
old toy brings new joy.
When toys are broken, take them
away from the child. If they can be
prof1tably mepded, we'll and good IF
not throw them away and be done with
them. 1t is distressing to the nerves Of
child, to say nothing about those of
the adult, to have lot of broken toys
about the house. Mend them or get
rid of them.
