simple way to get the pleating is to
cut your material into strips, running
crosswise of the goods, seam them to-
gether at the selvedges, finish along one
side with very narrow hem or machine
picot and then take them to the
professional pleater. But with a little
patience you can do the pleating at
home.
First cut the strips Of material, seam
them up and finish one side with a
very narrow fat hem. Then lay the
strip before you and make marks with
a colored crayon or chalk every inch
along the unfinished edge. Now thread
needle with silk. lay the material in

the distressed mother. Dinner was

This charming, well-meaning mother
was interrupted by the ring of the

IA Mrs. Rainbo. please say, Mother is
out and will not be In until late this
evening"" Jane oheyed.
A little later Jane reentered the
room as two Of the dinner guests were
leaving. She heard her mother say,
II have been charmed to have you
here for dinner, do come again soon."
The guests departed and Mother said
in James hearing, "Such boresl" but I
was under obligation, having been en-
tertained twice by them"
remained late that night with the
mothers elder sister, because Mr.. and
Mrs. Bradley were going out to play

the children to bed. AS they were

quired, Going anywhere after we go

Mother replied, in order to keep
peace, mo, Daddy and l will be down

Then this mother Immediately pre-
pared to leave and did depart shortly.

They looked out Just In time to see
their parents drive away. The elder
sister and I had entered the nursery
and heard Jane exclaim as she watch
ed the car depart, "There go the two
biggest liars In this town." and John
agreed.
Struck by this honest observation I
determined to remain and see II I
could help answer that question:
What shall I do with Jane2"
When the parents returned the
elder sister told them about James ac-
cusing them OF being the two biggest
liars In town.
The mother rose Indignantly and
said, II shall go to the nursery at once
and make Jane apologize for such a
statement about her parents"
I said, May I repeat to you a
quotation I gave my teachers at a
meeting2 DO not crush or punish a
child's honest outspoken observation
merely because your vanity is hurt by
the criticism 1t contains lest the child
be led to lies and hypocrisy The
teachers and have found this helpful.
James lies have troubled you. Let's
look into the matter frankly
Now this mother was one of the
many who tell social fibs or white lies,
daily. without any thought of their
detrimental influence upon the char
acters Of their children.
"You have uttered these social lies
as matter Of course" I suggested;
The mother agreed that she had.
well, Jane is just a sweet, clever
little copy-cat,"
IT never thought Of that" she said
meditatively.
We discussed the cause and effect OF
!, these white lies.
"The fault is our own. We are re-
sponsible for the seed of lying in
Jane" suggested the elder sister. "Let
us write down every social lie we tell
tomorrow and then break down the
habit of telling them"
The mother tried out this consistent
way Of teaching truth-telling. She
succeeded in establishing truth-telling
in Jane by setting concrete example
of truth-telling herself. 1t took time
and courage to do 1t. Are there not
many other children who lie for the
same reason that Jane lied?

reflection on the integrity Of the
sovereign state of Washington. The
average individual rarely considers,
until it is too late, the effect our
political errors make in the world OUT
side of the borders Of our state, though
we have furnished some notable ex-
amples in years past, and our state
has been discredited too much by the
publicity we have gained in electing
men beneath the dignity Of the offices
they hold.
We hold too, knowing that many of
our friends favored the passage of In
itiative No. 81, that 1t was a reflection
on our better judgment that Wash
ington should have been, out Of the
many states voting on the liquor ques-
ton at this time, one Of the seven
states of the nation to repudiate the
18th amendment. This too, we feel
was part and parcel Of the general
hysteria, and did not show the genu-
inc sentiment Of the people. Several
have already stated that they voted
for the measure more as a joke feel
ing there was little chance of Its pass
age, but like lots Of other practical
Jokes the joke was carried a bit too
far. How the new state of affairs
really will affect us is problematical
but we hope that everyone will find 1t
q noble experiment" Anyway we're
ready now for the great day that is
coming, by and by. And there is this
good feature. The long suffering
wives, after 80 days won't have to

Our new county commissioners will
go into office with a nice little nest
egg with which to carry on relief
or work program, provided King
county bonds can find market. We
do not know how the commissioner
from the North District feels on the
question but Mr.. Nash Of the city dis
trict has very concrete plan for a
work program, which If carried out
will reduce the necessity Of relief to
minimum. In our own district Mr..
Brinton whose term holds over, will
carry on, we believe, in regard to our
Island affairs, just as he has in the
past, in an eminently fair manner.
An even though 1t seems hard to
readjust ourselves and many feel that
no good thing can come out Of the
political situation such as we have Just
been catapulted into, there is no alter
native for at least two years in state
and county affairs, and we can only
carry on, doing our individual best
and helping our new officials by re-
serving our judgment until they have
had an opportunity to demonstrate
their honesty of purpose.

One Of the hardest pills 1t has been
given many of us to swallow in many
years is the manner in which Vashon
Island failed to rally to the support
of Archie McKinnon. Had Vashon-
Maury Island given him its support,
as he had every reason to expect, he
would have returned to the legisla-
ture. True. his hands would have
been tied, but he would have realized
his ambition. Burton gave Mr.. Nc
Kinnon the largest lead Of IS over his
nearest opponent, Island the least Of
2 over his nearest opponent.
We refuse to believe that the result
of the election was due to lack of
appreciation SO much as failure to at
tach enough Importance to our indi-
vidual votes.
But in years to come Archie Nc
Kinnon will be recalled as the legis-
lator who did much for our Island and
In future campaigns we may again
have the opportunity Of showing him
that we remember.
