Nancy Finishes Another
Dress for Joan.
BY FLORENCE LA GANKE.

Joan's second dress was coming
along nicely. It was nowered chal-
lis in a small pattern. The sleeves
were short. The neck was bound and
cut or Slashed at center front and then
held in place with two ball buttons on
link Of silk cord.
There was placket at the back. 1t
was cut down about six inches from the
neck.
The bottom was hemmed. Joan was
growing so fast that Nancy knew she
would have to make some allowance for
lengthening. She did this by running
a tWo-inch tuck In under part of hem
up close where hem was slip stitched
BY putting in this tuck the dress could
be heightened without ripping the hem
All that was required was pulling out
OF the hand tuck stitching. This wa;
done before the dress was laundered-
when lengthening was required. The
laundering removed the mark of what
had been the lower edge of hem.
To make the placket Nancy made a
straight cut as shown in "a" and q
short cut at right angles to the length
wise one. Then she folded materia
back as shown at "b" She stitched
the two hens. Then she brought one
over the other and stitched the tapping
IN place, as shown at &C"
In fixing the opening at the front ot
the neck she might have squared the
binding at the bottom as shown in "a
or rounded it as shown in "e." She
chose this as the easier method. Be.
cause the challis was so light weight
she did not bind the buttonhole:

for the almost exclusive use Of hot

The Call to Hope.

Rejoicing in hope; patient In tribu-
lation. Romans, xii12.
One of the supreme needs of the
time is the spirit of hope. Depression
is in the air; it comes from every quar-
ter of the globe. We can't dispel it by
simply saying, Let us cheer up" At
the moment, there are some cheerful
signs on the horizon. The trade cloud
in some sections. is beginning to show
silver lining. The looms of industry
in limited areas, are beginning to
weave brighter colors into the business
scene.
There is India, with its seething un-
rest. There Is China, land of chaos,
suffering the ravages of pestilence and
war. There are trouble and distress
everywhere throughout Europe There
is the problem of unemployment, which
Is almost universal.
Thackeray concluded the most
famous of his novels. Vanity Fair. -
with the paragraph: "Oh. vanitaS
vanitatum, which of us is happy in
this world. which of us has his ueSire.
or Having it, is satisfied? Come, chill
dren, let us shut up the box and the
puppets; the play is played out" Life
is not like that, and "vanitaS vanita-
tum' Is not the final Judgment
The apostle Paul lived in time of
great depression. He knew the mean
ing of tribulation and hardship. He
experienced the deepest distress and
touched the depths of despair. But
by faith in God, he rose to the sublime
heights from which he could write his
friends in Rome: BE patient in trib-
ulation, rejoice in hope" That is the
mood for us. We have journeyed in the
wilderness for a long while, but let us
not forget that our goal is the land OF
the sunrise.
We believe in God; why should we
not have hope? And having hope, why
should we not go forward? 1t is vair
for us to stand, Micawber- like. waiting
for something to turn up. Believing
in God and having hope, it is our busi-
ness to go out and turn something up
The call of the hour is the call to hope.

meaning for them, are to be pitied.
Very often their Quietness is enforced
only by threat of awful punishments if
they annoy any one. There they sit, tor
tured by the inability to move without
being hushed by some glaring adult or
reminded of what will happen if they
aren't quiet.
Adults grow nervous and fidgety If
compelled to sit still for any length of
time. The body demands activity. Ly-
ing in bed is unpleasant for the person
who is only half sick. There are
moments during any enforced inactivity
when the adult Is on edge with i'm
patience to be on the move.
Such emotions are intensified enor-
mously In the young. 1t is their nature
to be on the go constantly. They are
made that way. I have no methods of
making" children quiet, though I am
often asked for help with such problems.
No one can make children act in un-
natural ways without the use of
brutal and unnatural punishments,
which deplore.

and-down one. AS they rise and fall the

come to you as the singers fade from
sight.
1t is claimed that those imported
from Europe sing more sweetly than
their American cousins. They do not
resent being made captives, but their
song is not as lovely as those of the
canary. To some he is known as the
thistle bird, others the wild canary. His
range is from the tropics to the cold fur
countries. He is common throughout his
range, and usually migrates from May
until October. When he remains
through the Winter his CHEEKY little
notes may be heard as he seeks his
skimpy dinner from the few weeds that
have not been covered by the snow. He
does not hesitate to accept the dinner
provided for him by thoughtful friend,
and comes eagerly at mealtime to feast
of the seeds and titbits furnished at
the cafeteria.
AS Spring approaches he sheds his
somber garments, and all the males are
gay and lovely sight to see.

Constant Activity.

A FTER a period of observation in
~ nursery school, when 1t was
~ my duty to make a memoran-
4 4 dunn Of child's every action
for a period of an hour or more,
left the place exhausted. The child,
on the contrary, was still going strong.
Unless actually engaged In jotting down
every move child makes, no one can
possibly imagine the constant activity
OF child Of about the age Of 2. 1t
isn't much wonder that children sleep
so quietly in the afternoon. A whole
morning Of constant activity results in
such fatigue that a child is almost
compelled to sleep, though he may go
to that rest reluctantly.
One cannot expect to keep q young
child quiet. 1t isn't in the nature Of a
child to sit still for even five minutes
at one time. In an auto, small chill
dren want to stand up or climb from
lap to lap. This is all a part Of the
natural restleSsness which accompanies
growth. Children who get enough slee>s
are always dynamos of energy. 1t is
only the fatigued child who is willing
to sit down and play quietly.
1t is impossible for any mother to
keep a child quiet in some artificial
situation-artificial from the childs
standpoint. Children who are made to
sit without speaking or moving and
listen to lectures or sermons, or to
