Birth Of Kansas City.

A few miles up from Independ.
ence Landing, where the Kansas,
long called the Kaw, twists north
into the Missouri, fur traders and
freighters found a fiat, shelving
rock, an easy place to land goods.
Near here, by 1888, a new town,
Westport, came into being.
In time 1t became the starting
point for Santa Fe. Gradually, as
merchants and farmers followed the
fur traders, this colony spread
through a gap in the bluffs and
came to be known as Kansas" aft
er the local tribe of Indians. Incor-
porated as the "Town Of Kansas"
in 1850, its name was changed to
Kansas City in 1889.
Southwest into Kansas the old
trail runs; thence west along the
north bank of the Arkansas river,
which formed part of the boundary
between the United States and
Mexico until the war OF lS46-4S. A
few miles west of where Dodge City
stands the trail originally crossed
the river at Cimarron Crossing, fol-
lowing the Cimarron valley over
southwest Kansas and on to Las
Vegas, New Mexico. But this road
crosses many miles of waterless
land, and later pioneers blazed a
longer but more watered path. This
latter branch became in time the
main thoroughfare, especially for
wagons. 1t follows the Arkansas
river into Colorado, through La
Junta and Trinidad; thence over
Ration Pass. and to Las Vegas and
Santa Fe. Today the Santa Fe
railway and the popular Santa Fe
motor highway use this same route
or closely parallel il. -.n, 3 81

GOWNS BEING MADE
FOR SUNDAY NIGHT

The Importance Of Sunday night"
Is stressed by one Paris house, for
it has designed probably the major
ity Of it's spring and summer cos
tunes with this particular evening
In mind.
When you think of it, it is quite
an inspiration. for Sunday night is
time for relaxation, informally
and congenial intimacy. Hence en-
sembles that fit in with these feel
ings must be very lovely and rest
full, provocative of delightful conver-
sation, restful to the eye and re-
freshing in every detail. And that
Is just what they are.
The black crepe frocks have
graceful sleeves with much fullness
about the elbow, often Of white dia-
mante tulle or in a heavier Bills
tered crepe. Lacquered lace makes
possible many stiff, standupish frills
for the outlining of decolletages
which give them a crispness that is
almost fragile. Organdie Is used
in the same manner.

PLEASE THE BABY

MOTHER had been canning all
ANA afternoon and her feet were
tired carrying her about. She sat
in a rocker on the porch watching
Edna May doing her home work in
the short time before dinner. The
baby had fallen asleep on the couch
in the sitting room. Now he wakened
and cried.
%Go in, Edna May, and see what
you can do to please him. I'm so
tired | can't move another STEP"
Edna May cheerfully went to the
rescue. In a short time she came
back. "He wants my red cap,
mother"
"All right. Give it to him. Any
thing to please him."
Mother rested for a while and rose
to prepare for dinner. Crossing the
sitting room something caught her
eye. The baby sat In the midst of
miscellaneous heap like a pi-
rate among his treasure. "Give me-"
he commanded, and at once Edna
May gave him.
For PHYS sake, Edna May, what
is the matter with you? Here / am
tired to death. ask you to help
with the baby for a few minutes
and you completely upset the house.
Pick every bit of that stuff up"
Edna May, quite crestfallen, be-
gan gathering up the loot. Every time
she laid hold of an article the baby
screamed and fought to keep it.
Mother came swiftly, smacked both
children and planted them firmly,
one in his crib and the other on q
chair" Stay there and keep quiet
if you can't do anything else" Both
children were crying earnestly when
father walked up the path.
1t was all very natural. Mother
was tired beyond words. Edna May
was willing but unknowing. The
baby had the chance of his life and
he took it, The only way out that
can see is to have a couple Of
things handy for such an occasion.
A ball tied to the baby's chair,
favorite Teddy sitting in a little
chair will serve the purpose. Then
when baby is to be diverted for a
few minutes the means are at hand.
Crying it out is not so easy
when ones nerves are raw but 1t Is
better than having a scene, isn't it?
1t is cheaper in nervous energy in
the long run. 1t won't do to teach
the baby that he is to be pleased
no matter what comes or goes.
Sometimes he can't be pleased and
the sooner he learns it the better.
1t does cost a few howls, but most
of US can stand that.

Rewards held In store for future
payment rarely work. Bribing
child to work fails oftener than It
succeeds. 1t Is right to reward an
effort. Rewards encourage children
to push on when enthusiasms have
died down. They stimulate the child
to fresh hope and they renew his
energy. But the reward must be
immediate. 1t must follow the good
deed promptly. Children live In
the present moment. Their failures
and hopes and struggles are all of
the moment. To make a reward ef-
fective It must follow the perform

When a child finds himself re-
warded for something he has done
he Is delighted beyond words. The

thought of his personal gain. With

deep appreciation of his work and
