1t is characteristic Of the human

RABIES ENJOY PARTY.

One of the most delightful social
events of the very younger set was the
party given to the members OF the
Cradle Roll of the Island Community
Church last Saturday at the home of
Mrs. C. j. Williams.
The cradle roll consists of twenty
two members from all points OF the
island, but only nine were present.
Sickness kept some ut home while
Others were too young to be out, even
though accompanied by their mothers.
Preceding the fashion show, which
was the main event of the afternoon,
each mother was presented with
little envelope containing her baby's
character as visualized in poem form
by Marjorie Stanley. These were read
aloud by the mothers, and very much
enjoyed Some of them we're most
appropriate.
Little Toma Corbet, Mrs. Jackson
Corbet's life-sized doll modelled clothes
for the one-year olds in the fashion
show He was very sweet and patient
about it. and his unfailing good temper
won him a score of friends. The dis
play of clothes was certainly worth
looking at. All the newest and lowell
est things baby could wish. from its
birth up to three years of age, includ-
ing the daintiest of dress up gar
ments and the most practical of play
clothes.
After these were exclaimed over, Mrs
Marsh and Mrs. H. A. Stanley brought
out their old fashioned baby clothes,
some dating as far back as 1869. What
a lot of clothes babies wore in those
days, and long enough to make dress

vASHON ISLAND WOMANs CLUB
MEETS WITH MRS. E. H. MILLER


On Tuesday the vashon Island
Woman's Club enjoyed their annual
luncheon and musical at the lovely
home of Mrs. E. H. Miller on Maury
Island. The day was lovely, and the
profusion of blooming flowers about
Moxtwood prepared all the guests for
the delightful entertainment in store.
The spacious rooms were decorated
with bowls of tulips.
The thought for the meeting was
Music washes away from the soul the
dust of everyday life" and this was
indeed true, for the twenty four mem
beers and guests present forgot the
problems of the work-a-day world as
they enjoyed the afternoons program.
After delicious luncheon, Mrs. Lesh,
a guest, spoke ON Music" She spoke
charmingly, yet practically on the re-
lations of music to everyday life, and
the necessity of it in the life of the
child, not alone from cultural stand
point, but as means of that ex-
preston vital to the soul of the child
Mrs Lesh told of her interesting ex-
periences this winter in teaching the
pupils of one of the Island schools,
who had had very little previous in
structions in music. Her most force
full argument in favor of musical in
struction was that 1t provided way
to fill leisure time, which so often
proves dangerous liability. Mrs
Lesh not only possesses deep under
standing Of music, but she views it
from such human standpoint that
1t is free from all foolish sentiment
and places it in its proper relation to
every day living.
In her usual charming and talented
manner, Mrs. Miller presented tne
musical program to which members of
the club, and several invited guests,
had been looking forward during the
entire club year.
The first group consisted of three
numbers arranged Tor piano, previous
ly written for violin and voice. They
we're:
Barcarolle Hauser
Orientale ACKNOWLEDGEMENT esai Cui
Waters of Minnetonka .Lieurance
After explaining the difference be-
tween the paraphrase and variation,
Mrs. Miller illustrated her explanation
by playing Himmelreich's arrange
ment of annie Laurie"
The third part of the program con-
sisted OF Les Sylvains by Chaminade,
and valse Caprice. by MI Lam, two
brilliant waltz movements.
Mrs. Miller concluded her program
with two compositions by Mcdowell
'Polonnaise' in E. Minor, ana
Shadow Dance
After short business meeting the
club adjourned, unanimous in the
opinion that the afternoon had been

YOUR CHILDREN
5vOiIpR pRo6ey7yRayzY,
Noio3I BY NfA SERVlCf. INC (

The great cry to-day Is '.teach the children tndependences" But l be- lieve that the little folk are paying a greater price than we suspect for this zeal of ours.
 It might pay us to stop and con- sider few things about this won- derful independence we are forcing on them. and to weigh the points carefully. Are we getting inde- pendence into them at the expense of even-temper, nerves, and self confidence?
 Suppose we think that Johnny is old enough to dress himself. Little learns to put on his shoes and stock ings, his underwear, and suit.
 There comes day when he can get into his entire wardrobe un- assisted except for tying his shoe strings and his tie. He can even wash himself in way, and run a toothbrush gingerly over his front teeth, as well as dab his hair in front with a tiny brush.
 He Didn't Learn Quickly
 Yes, Johnny can attend to his own toilet sufficiently at least to keep him getting arrested on the street.
 It Is fine that he can do this. but we do not realize that it has not been accomplished in the month we have been training him. As a mat four solid years of slow develop ment, the coordination of thought and fingers, slow process indeed. We think we have taught him ourselves, however. in four short weeks. And of course he has gained a lot in that time by our help, but he was ready for the effort in the first place.
 .Now," we think joyously, If he can do that much in four weeks training, he can learn the next step in still less time.'
 Must Learn ThorOughncss The next step is to learn to do it correctly, to wash properly, brush his hair and teeth thoroughly. By standards of perfection. which if we lcok back. we did not attain our selves until we were years and years older than Johnny.
 We keep after him. scolding him. criticizing him, insisting. He does not improve. Instead he loses in terest, he gets cross, and drops faith in himself. The self-dressing pro- cess gets to be a war in earnest. But suppose by some miracle he Is able to improve until we are sat- isfied. Instantly in our program of independence we hit on a third step. He must learn to do it in Q given time.
 This time we hit snag in earn est, for time is another adult stand ard his little mind is not ready for. Children will be slow and they will be awkward. Forcing and scolding won't bring results.
 It takes patience, help, and un- derstanding to develop independence in children. Too much haste and too high ideals defeat their own ends.

It was one of the mysteries of Lois life that Roger should want to take perfectly fresh, crisp lettuce and have 1t served wilted and dis couraged-like. But after she had tasted some of these time honored
 dishes she had new appreciation
 for them. She supposed their origin dated back to the days when salad
 was not known, when lettuce was
 not always tender and fresh and hot house-like but garden sass" It needed some care to make 1t edible. Lois searched old cook books and found that bacon, sour cream. vin- egar, salt and pepper were the usual ingredients. Although she did dis cover one variety which called, practically. for a hot boiled dressing at least it contained hot vinegar.

Uncle Rays
 Corner
oUR sCRAPBooK


 Today am going to speak Of the reason for keeping a Corner scrapbook. and of how you can be- come member of the club. Through speaking in schools. and meeting children in other ways, [ found that many boys and girls were cutting out the Corner to save. Some were making scrapboots. but many were jut clipping the articles without pasting them down. If you had a hundred loose arti< cles, and wanted to find a certain subject. you might have to search. quite a while. If your articles were pasted in a book, properly classified it would be easy to find the article you wanted.
 Another point is the danger of losing the clippings. If you have all the stories pasted In book. you can take good care of the book: but if the stories are kept loosely. you may lose one or more of them. If you have a loose-leaf scrap book, purchased at store, you may use it for saving the Corner: but such scrapbooks are expensive--a good one may cost two dollars You can make one of your own as little or no expense.
 It is not hard to make scrap book, have helped prepare Il leaflet giving simple directions. This leaflet will be sent to anyone who writes for it. enclosing self addressed, stamped envelope. If yo,i have two envelopes of the same size, write your name and address carefully on one of them. put on . stamp, fold the envelope in the middle, and enclose in the other envelope. Then enclose your letter or coupon, and mail to me in care of this newspaper. Write carefully to avoid a mistake in the mails. Tomorrow---ssFakfr of India.
