Making Picturesque Collars
BY MARY MARSHALL.

jacket you have on hand or to start
from scratch and make new evening
jacket, adding one of the new collars.
You can buy a paper pattern for a
wrap with one of these collars, but with
little ingenuity you can draft pat
tern for yourself After all, the collar
consists of nothing more nor less than
tube of material with shirrings at in
tervals.
The older type Of puff collar was
made from a perfectly straight tube.
These new ones are tapered at the ends,
ar arrangement that is produced by
using a strip of velvet or satin widest
in the center and shaped down at either
enc. To figure the length. measure
the distance around the neck. If you
wish to have shirred tucks instead of
plain Shirrings, figure the amount
needed for each tuck and add this to
the measurement of the collar. You
will need a strip of satin or velvet of
this length 18 or 20 inches wide in the
center and shaped down at either end.
The shirring should be done before it
is scanned up to form the puff collar.

OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO pATRI.

The same question keeps coming to
me over and over again. Usually it is
asked by young girls. DO you think
it is right for my mother to insist that
be chaperoned to dance? The other
boys and girls do not have to have
mothers old-faShioned notions. She
makes me ridiculous and spoils my good
times. Boys won't ask me to dances
because of this. 1 am Is"
The children of Is often have phySi-
cal development beyond their years OF
intelligence and much beyond thelr
years of experience. They feel grown
up. They feel themselves capable OF
taking care of their own affairs. The
fact that they are not attending to their
own affairs but are still dependent upon
father and mother to do that for them
does not dawn upon them. They are SO
possessed by their own desires that
everything else is blotted out of their
minds That is not their fault. 1t is
their condition. We who take care OF
them have to consider their condition
I believe that girls and boys Of Is
need chaperones. 1 would send them
out under adult supervision or they
could stav at home. Children of that
age are at the mercy of forces that they
do not understand All our talking
cannot make plain what only experience
can teach. They must be protected
against themselves tactfully, wisely, but
surely.
We ought to begin teaching this self
control to the children when they are
little. Sex training ought to begin with
the childs first question and be con-
tinued until it is no longer necessary,
about full adolescence The 15-year-
olds may have this instruction but it
has not functioned. They are too
young.
OF course, there is no guarantee that
the l8-year-olds are able to take care
of themselves. but we cannot help that.
We must let the children go and do the
best they can with life as it comes to
them. We cannot live their lives for
them and there is no guarantee that We
could do better than th7y if we had the
opportunity. These older children must
be free of the chaperone
My experience with young people
makes me think that if they are de-
termined to have their own way at 49,
nobody, nothing can stop them. There
are many ways of evading supervision
and authority and youth knows them
all. After they arrive at full maturity
they must be allowed full freedom. They
have to learn to pilot themselves about
and to accept the responsibility for
themselves.

well-hidden domicile and actually see

Will see him disappear into his home
and dart quickly forth again with
very different look on his countenance
In the Autumn, the forehanded chip
munk is gathering nuts for the Winter.
He climbs tree and reaches out care
fully for a nut, makes a quick grab for
his prize, and holds it with his little
front paw, while with the other one he
stretches his cheek pouch to receive 1t.
He SurpaSSeS the famous French trunk
packers, for he can pack remarkable
number of nuts in his cheeks Having
filled the last available space, he goes
carefully down the tree and makes a
haSty trip to his lodgings.
The home he fashioned for himself
in the side of a well-drained hill has
large living room off the entrance hall.
Here he has made soft bed Of moss
and fine grass, where he sleeps through

only to partake of food. He enters
about the last of November.
Should inquisitive young boys or
more inquisitive dogs knock too loudly
at his front door, he escapes by way of
a small back door planned for just such
an emergency.
AS a pet, the chipmunk is delightful
and enjoys the privileges of a COM
Portable home and abundant food. He
soon learns to eat the food provided for
the family table and develops decided
sweet tooth" The habits of many
generations are deeply set and he can
not overcome the nut-hiding habit.
Under pillows, rung, and furniture he
caches his nuts.
The stripes of the ehipmunk are very
much like those OF the tiger and help
to disguise the owner when he moves
about in the grass. His tail Is not so
long as that of the squirrel, nor so
bushy, nor so expressive. Nature had
very wise reason for SO fashioning him,
for the chipmunk spends much OF his
time underground and his tail would
be a sorry sight, all bedraggled with dirt
and filled with burrs and dry weeds.
AS singer he does not excel, for
clucking and chattering are the only
ways in which he can convey his senti-
ments. Having had his say. he will roll
up in bunch, curl his scant tail over
his back and dine upon the nut held
dainty in his front paws.

"Oh, I'm coming" replied Mrs. Jerry
You needn't think you can leave me

So they started off. Jerry in the lead
and Mrs. Jerry close behind. They
followed along beside the Laughing
Brook. 1t wasn't laughing now. No
indeed! 1t was roaring angrily. There
were places where the water was far
over the banks and they had to go
around or swim. Sometimes they did
one and sometimes the other. The

instead of saying what she had in

Wen follow the Laughing Brook up

water begins to fall We can come down

digging this air hole big enough for
us to get through That will be better

into the Smiling Pool, where the water
is so swift that it might take us far
from where We want to go"
Jerry set to work and in a few
minutes he poked his head out under
the little pile of sticks that hid the
hole from those who might pass that
way. Jerry crawled out and Mrs.

horse, but usually there was no hurt
except perhaps bruise from the
tumble.
Such contests were for sport; but
there were other times when knights
rode against each other with deadly
purpose. If one was knocked to the
ground. he would try to draw his sword
and keep up the fight.
Some knights lived in castles, but
others kept wandering from place to
place. They knew of nothing better
to do than search for adventure. Peo-
pie called them "knightS-errant,"
meaning wandering knights.
The knight-errant went forth alone
or with a single squire He would
ride along a narrow dirt road or per-
haps over a path through a woodland.
Sometimes knight would take sta
ton beside a road or near bridge,
and would challenge every knight who
came along to do combat. 1t was a
custom in some parts for the victor
to take the shield of the knight who
lost A strong and skillful knight was
likely to obtain as many shields as
his squire could carry.
Now and then knights were called

Of knights would charge against an
other group, and there would be a
lively contest to see which group could
do more damage to the other side.
Tournaments were held in fields not
far from the castle of a noble. Ladies
of the castle, dressed in the finery OF
their time. watched the knights per-
form.
Before or after the group fighting
single combats took place, and honor
was paid to the winner of the greatest
number of combats. A crown might be
placed on his head by a daughter Of

pop said. Without rain the buds would

be bolshevicks of the most dangerous

Do you mean like onions? I said.

DAILY DIET RECIPE
ARTICHOKE HEARTS
SUPREME.

Artichoke hearts, four; French
dressing, one-half cup; caviar,
three ounces; finely minced onion,
four teaspoons.
SERVES FOUR PORTIONS.
If fresh artichokes are used
they should have the stems cut
back short and the tops of each
leaf clipped with scissors, then
soaked in cold water about half
an hour, drained and then
steamed until tender-that is
when a leaf can be removed
easily. The leaves must be re-
moved to get the heart. Leaves
could be used for a luncheon
salad with French dressing. The
thistle part is removed from the
heart and only the cup like heart
used for this recipe. Soak hearts
in French dressing one hour. At
time of serving fill each heart
with caviar and garnish with
minced onion.

LIBRARY LENT
1896 BOOKS
The LAST YEAR

From July l, 1881, to July 1, 1892,
1926 books were borrowed from the
local library, according t. Miss Ben
nett librarian.
Reading is heaviest during the sum-
mer months according to Miss Ben
nett and during the present business
stagnation there has been a notable in
crease in the circulation of the library.
In addition to the books that may
be borrowed from the library, several
of the leading magazines are taken and
the public has the use of them in the
reading room during the library hours.
After the magazines have served their
purpose in the library they are given
to the rural school teachers to be used
in school work. During the last Ii
brary year about 1000 of these mag
azlnes were given to teachers.
The library hours are from 9 to II
o'clock in the morning and from 2 to
o'clock in the afternoon. The pub
lie is urged to use the reading room

Salisbury's fire loss for the first six
months of the current year amounted
to $35,S29, according to figures OBJ
tanned from the local fire department
by a representative of The Waterman
Total losses for 1881 were $24,71s
and according to the way fire losses
accumulated during the first SIX
months of this year the total loss from
fire in 1882 will probably exceed the
1851 figure by a large amount.
The fire departments report for
June showed the greatest loss for any
month of this year with loss amount
ing to $16,775.
To date, IS alarms have been an
swered by the local fire department in
comparison to 1914 answered to the
4th of July in 1881.
For the past 10 years Salisbury has
held the record in the state for the
smallest fire loss per capita. During
the past year the per capita loss
amounted to $1.39.
According to insurance ratings of
the cities in the state, Salisbury is on
sidered in the second class. Ratings
are derived from the amount of equip
ment and the number of firemen a
city has on its payroll. The local or
ganization has $ paid men on duty and
Is volunteer firemen who sftend fires
at the sound of the alarm. Spencer and
East Spencer, having less equipment
than Salisbury and are considered in
the third class of insurance ratings.

and despite the increasing number Of
alarms each year a favorable RECORD
has been attained.
