Among my purchases during the past
Summer were oil. vinegar, sirup, etc.
Each came in such an attractive bottle
insulting its graceful dignity. And so
l slowed them on the closet shelf or
in windowsill, where they lent dec
oration, while I was considering their
best uses.
Perhaps it may be suggestive to note
their present uses. One pair of charm
ing pitcherbottleS now serves as can
dlesticks on a rare old mahogany
dressing table. They suit well this
period Of furniture, especially when the
Pickering torchlike flames give illumi-
mination each side of the mirror and
reflect in wavering brightness therein.
No streams of liquid wax are allowed
to remain on the glass candlesticks for
this sort of ornamentation savors too
much of carelessneSs.
Four bulbous-shaped, vaselike bottles
in which oil came are used as table
candlesticks for the Summer Cape Cod
farmhouse. with its furniture appro-
pirate to its age One large pitcher
bottle, with its long, swanlike, although
straight, neck, is kept filled with water
constantly renewed from the same
spring from which the Puritan fore
bears quenched their thirst. Its frosted
pattern is reminiscent of the Rose in
the Snow design, previously referred to.
1t is a jug to delight the heart of
collector-if only the jug were antique!

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROwLS.
Just Plain Talk.

Perhaps you have wondered why We
all begin to talk about the weather
every time we meet an acquaintance
on the street. Its nice day." Its
a hot day." Looks like we might have
a shower" And so on with seemingly
meaningless remarks about the obvious
atmospheric conditions.
Ebert Hubbard, believe, pointed out
that weather talk was common human
frailty. Something of a mental dis
ease which he called verbomania. But
there is something else to all this
weather talk and its relatives such as
war talk, prohibition talk, political talk,
depression talk and all the other talks.
We, of course, have no intention of
doing anything about these obvious, alb
stract and impossible subjects OF con-
versation. In fact We choose just such
subjects because we are not likely to
be called upon to defend given posi-
ton, after all the Ifs" and lands"
have been taken into consideration.
We talk these talks for the purpose
of doing something with them. That
something is the obvious, useful business
Of keeping on speaking terms with our
social surroundings The man who re-
fuses to talk, even though he has moth
ing to say, Is something Of a self-con-
ceited introvert who derives his greatest
pleasure in this world by talking to
himself.

Franklin's letter makes me think OF
how parents who like the Corner may
do a favor to boys and girls who are
too young to read They may make
scrapbooks for a child only or 4
years old, for the child to use
in later years. Letters have received
from some grown folks show that this
is being done, but I should like to pass
along the idea for others who have not
done so.
No matter Of what age reader may
be, it is quite all right to send for the
leafiet telling how to make a Corner

sent for it already, and hope that the

T HAVE before me letter which
seems to have been written with
great trouble. The words are not
i so clear as those in most letters
which receive, but I am proud
of the letter just the same, for it was
written by 6-year-old boy! Most boys
of that age would not dare to write a
letter This is how it goes:
Dear Uncle Ray: My scrapbook

you will appreciate the fact that he is
certainly interested in your Corner

At any rate, in view Of the co,orful
campaign that resulted in her being
sent back to the Senate, and her state
ment about failing" and shouting,
many observers watched upon her re-
turn to see whether any change could
be detected in ''the little woman from
Arkansas"
Now with the Seventy-second Con-
gress in the "home stretch" it is about
agreed that to all outward appearances
there hasn't been much change.
She has yet to inject herself into
debate, preferring to remain silent IN
her seat and listen.
In the discharge of her other duties
it is much the same. Those who
watched her in hearings before the
Senate committee on the proposed farm
relief bill noted that she sat by quietly.
intently listening to the testimony OF
various witnesses.
But it is when she is away from the
Senate and. as they say "on the Hill,
talking "off the record" that she re-
veals herself as she really is.
Then she speaks her mind freely.
She delights in telling anecdotes about
her recent and turbulent campaign.
She even recites little poems 1lustra-
drive with Huey Long that resulted in
making her the first woman ever elected
for a full term to the Senate.
Those who have been in on some of
these informal conversations say that
it's vastly different woman from the
one who sits daily on the Senate floor,
still looking perhaps bit bewildered
and hesitant to jump in the fray.
Perhaps, after all, she'll never bring
herself to the point of failing" her
arms aid shouting" on the Senate
floor Perhaps she remembers the
promise she once made her constituents
"I may not talk like statesman, but
I hope to convince you that vote like

Clearing Up.

the playthings. Then the trou-
i BILE starts. She sits on the floor
and cries, I can't, I can't
OF course, tell her she must. Then
there is scene that ends In spank
ing and the whole evening Is spoiled"
Betty Is 2 going on 3. She plays
herself ragged SO that when clearing up
time comes she is weary. Clearing up
is harder than taking out. The game
Is over and it is the old story of paying
for a dead horse. Still, Betty must
learn to pay her way.
Three years and under Is a bit young
for hard work, and to a little child this
is hard work. We have TO think ahead
and prevent the trouble. First keep an
eye on what is brought out. 1t is a
mistake to allow a child to empty a toy
closet on the floor He can never get
it back again. Limit the amount that
is brought out at a time. If one top is
put aside it must be at once returned to
its place. The second one is not to be
brought out until that first one Is in
place. This helps lot
Then stop the play in time for clear
ing up. Let the child stop, take drink
relax a minute. Then send him to put
away his things. If he has only piece
or two he will have no difficulty. If
there is whole set of blocks scattered
about he needs help. Cut the job to
the ability of the child and remember
that he is not as energetic at the close
of the game as he was at the start.

WHITE PINE.
p. StrobuS.
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.


r Y AVE you ever noticed how much
IL trees are like people? There
are the weepy ones, those who
L i scatter their possessions all
about and make the place
untidy. They are the cottonwoods.
The oaks are sturdy and the pines up
right. You always know what pine
tree will do. They are lovable and will
go to a desolate looking place, where
all the trees have burned down or been
cut away, and pretty soon you will see
a fine family party of white pine trees.
They make fine nurses for less sturdy
trees, forming windbreak for them
and gladdening the landscape with their
green dress. Pines do shed their
clothes. They are so modest about 1t
and so very particular. too, that you
are unaware Of the fact.
The pines are among our most
ancient trees. The lumber has many
uses and is made into many things
from a tall mast for a ship to tooth
picks and matches. At one time great
quantities were shipped all over the
United States for the making of furni-
ture, boats and too many things to
enumerate. Like all things, there comes
time when they must be renewed, and
today we are faced with the fact that
We used our favorite wood too lavishly
Fortunately, the tree grows fast 1t
Is symmetrical and very handsome in
its youth. The beautiful, clear, straight
branches are clothed with delicate,
plume-like tufts Of blue-green leaves in
bundles of five. Around the center bud
are five buds on the new twigs. The
trunk and limbs send out whorls of
five, and the Spring, when the tree is
in bloom, is the time to get acquainted
with it. In old age, the tree is pic
turesque and dignified. It often towers
above the heads of the younger gen.
Grafton. When the pines grow in the
open, they have broader crowns and
the lower branches stay with the parent
tree. Birds, squirrels and small animals
take shelter under them in the Winter
and the seeds are carried far away by
the guests.
The number Of needles in a whorl
helps you to identify your pine. The
white pine has bundles of five, the
Austrian two and the pitch pine three
You will be surprised at the great diff
ference there is between pine leaves or
needles. Some are rough, some smooth,
others scratchy. Those Of the white

pine are soft and pliable and make the
most wonderful chains. The sharp
point of the leaf is inserted into the
strong, tough parchment sheath and
there you are.
The winds play through the pines,
using the needles like the strings of an
Aeolian harp. The signing and singing
trees, the happy and disconsolate ones,
all have story to tell to those who
will understand and listen to them.
Do not make the mistake of getting
friendly with too many trees at first.
Study one or two at time You will
be surprised to learn how quickly your
tree begins your education. They will
teach you courage, patience, sturdiness
and endurance. Try to adopt one tree
a season.

MY Neighbor Says:

Roast pork served with either
sour apple sauce or cranberry
sauce is delicious.
Never let woolen garments
freeze after laundering, as 1t Is
likely to cause shrinking.
When making toast, it improves
. it both in taste and digestibility
if the slices of bread are laid in
the open oven for a little while
before toasting them. They will
toast better and more evenly for
this advance treatment.
When dates are added to cake
or cooky mixture, they are better
if covered with warm water and
cooked slowly five minutes. They
soften and blend better with other
ingredients.

Two No Trump Response.

)ONTINUING yesterdays article,
I suggest the following re-
quirements for the response OF
~ two no trumps over an opening
suit bid of one:
/. Two primary tricks on the same
valuations as are applied to opening
bids, but allowing q j the value OF
one-half trick
2. The three suits not bid by your
partner must be stopped. two OF them
by double shoppers.
3. These protective elements which
stop the suits must be so grouped that
they will develop tricks easily IN no
trump play. They must consist Of Sc
quences or low honor tenaces that are
aggressive in character for the play OF
the hand. They must appear able not
only to stop the opponents from run
ming the suit off against you after get
ting in for two or three leads, but also
able to win tricks as factors in the play
of the hand.
a. You should hold at least two cards
In your partners suit preferably in
cluding at least a low honor, to en-
able you to make a finessing lead of the
suit out of your own hand. Failing this,
look for additional solidity in the rest
of the hand.
Here are some examples of minimum
two no trump responses to one spade:
Spades X Hearts-K J 8
Diamonds-K j Xxx Clubs-K @ Xxx
Spades-Q Hearts-K Jxx

Spades-X Hearts-K o
Diamonds-K 10 Xxx Clubs-A ] x
Spades-x Hearts-K Q Xxx
Diamonds-K J 10 x Clubs-A 10 8
The holding of one or more tenaces
Is implied in these conditions. That
is why the last example above should
be bid two no trump rather than two
