THE JoHNsONs GO NUTrING

Shortly after breakfast last Sum day morning my telephone rangN It was Claire Johnson calling to ask if I would join the family in trip out | to the woods. Of course I accepted with alacrity and few minutes later was on my way to the John son house. When ! arrived Mrs Johnson was putting the final touches to the big picnic hamper, Mary and her father were slowing extra rugs in the car, Bill was putting n new film in his precious camera and Claire was sewing up q rent in a small brown sack which 1 recognized as the "nutting bag" l was just in time to hear Bill an- nounce in brotherly fashion that Claire herself was a nut to expect to find any left as late as this, but Claire replied. logically enough, that we hadn't had any frost as yet, and anyway you never knew! Claire is by way of being an opti- mist!
 We started off in high good humor. AS l said before, the John sons certainly know how to enjoy an outing together, and that 1t Is what makes 1t such a pleasure to go with them. To add to the enjoy ment, 1t was beautiful Fall day. sunny but with q tang in the air which quickly brought out tho col or in the children's cheeks. Robert and Baby John especially were positively glowing by the timc we reached the woods ten miles out of town.
 There we left the car and made orr wav on foot to the picnic ground beside the stream, carrying our rugs and kettle of water from tho cottage outside the gates flor the stream water Is uncerti- fled by tho public health authori- ties, and the Johnsons take no chances.
 We collected dead wood for n fire and. while tho older children went off exploring-Claire and Mary with tho nutting bag and Bill with his camera--thc rest or us made ourselves comfortable un- der the trees. Robert and Baby John quickly found treasures Tn the pebbles and twigs lying around and had grand time scrambling about the clearing.
 Bv and by the others returned. dishevellcd and happy. Claire and Mary had not found many nuts but their arms were full of beau- tiful autumn leaves which they an- nounced were to be kept carefully for Thanksgiving decorations. Bill had managed to get Q picture of two squirrels, besides what he called "some interesting effects of light and shade" Bill Is becoming an expert photographer these days He assured us, however. that he had saved room for picture of the whole party gathered round the picnic fire = adding that he was sure 1t was lunch time.
 Since everybody seemed to be unanimous we lighted the fire. boiled the coffee for us older folk, (the children had milk. as us. uai) got out the sandwiches and fruit and toasted our bacon over the embers. Why is 1t that food al. ways tastes so much better out of doors? It was joy to sec those

Paris (UP) - Did you evcr hear of Ivar? It's a hat house and one that is up and coming. Put 1t in your notebook for the next time you get here for little hat shop ping.
 This winter Ivar Is showing felts and fabrics which com- bine the flavor of the past with the needs and desires of both the present and whiff Of the future. Many of them look thick and fluffy, but they are extremely light and fine in texture. The fclts are speckled, i. e., they are plain, of different colors and the stiff hair, which is always white and of a modest lustre. makes tho speaking. The hair Is sufficiently long to give fur-like apparence that fashion is dictating now but not too long to hide the line of the model evolved by the modist.
 Hat fabrics and felts also are being used in the making of dress

'EPYOUR
 CHILDREN
By Olivs Roberts Hsrtoa
6nS5 W Nz7 sfs1ic1. iFe

We have to look pretty deep for reasons sometimes when a child IS mean and cross or cruel.
 One Bruce, we'll say, IS not plt nice to Anna May. He breaks her toys and chases her and Is the ter- TOT of Anna Mays life.
 Ills mother cannot understand 1t, neither can Anna Mays mother. The two women are inseparabie friends and dreamed of their chil- dren growing up together and even of marrying someday.
 Bruce is fine to other people, or at least he was until recently. NOW he is beginning to chase other chil- dren occasionally and to kick oth- CT dogs, and cats too. He has been whipped but 1t does no good. He has been made to tell the little girl he was sorry. He has been put to bed, lectured, shamed--run through the entire gamut of punishment. Yet there ia no question that he is getting worse. Each whipping or scolding brings a reprisal of more bad behavior.
 His mother thought he might be jealous of Anna May, so she ceased making too much fuss over her or her dog. It has helped some but Bruce continues his generally bad conduct.
 The answer is clear. Bruce is jealous, not of Anna May, but of Anna Mays mother. She takes his mothers time away from him and part of his mothers love.
 Jealousy and Misconduct If he had grown up from baby fn 1,fo fxnn nf n ora friend it would have been different. But she lived in another city and only year ago came back to q house three doors from her old friend, Bruce's mother. It was q quiet suburb and the boys mother had few friends be- fore. Neither she nor her husband went out much and the boy had grown to his five years with his mother right on hand every min- ute.
 Now it was different. Tho two women sometimes go out together of an afternoon and engage d girl to look after the two children while they are gone.
 A Bid for Attention
 Not only that, but Bruce hears his mother call her friend dear" sees her occasionally kiss her, and pet tho little girl and dog. Jealous-yes--and one thing more besides. Many a child who cannot get all the attention he wants will resort to bad behavior; too few people realize that poor conduct is very often only Q bid for attention.
 But when Bruce Is punished he lays the blame directly to the door of those people whom he hates. This explains why it makes him worse. He includes the dog too, and even the ncighbor children whom he feels no longer like him because he has been so mean to Anna May. once started there is no end to 1t.
 If his mother had gone more slowly about introducing her old friend into Brucc's life and heart 1t probably would have been diffor-. ent. But he will never like either her or her daughter. Selfish Yes. All children, are | selfish,

Fe The Smart Set With These Debutane Clothes
SOFT CoLoRS FINE FABRICS, TRAINS COMBINE TO GIVE
 FRoCKs AIR OF DIGNITY AND CHARM
By JOAN SAVOY NEA gePylce Writer


 Debutante days are here again. Whether you are society-minded or not, the new deb clothes are ex- citing enough to make you take A bow when you wear any of them. The evening things are the little prizes. Fabrics are gorgeous = still embroidered taffetas, slinky crepes, transparent, fine sheers, rich, lush velevts, moussellnes shot with gold or silver, fine woolens that have all the beauty and dig nity of the finest satins.
 It's the cut, as well as the soft colors and fine fabrics that make debutante clothes what they are. They give a girl a feeling of adult sophisticated grace while they still keeping her looking delightfully young. Some of them, in fact, swish for they are made with lit- tie bits of trains, just enough to invite her to acquire that lady-like ability to trail across the floor just as if she were the most im- portant parsonage on earth.
 The youth aspect of these debu- tante clothes is accented at the necklines. No deb's evening gown should be too low. Most of them have rather high front necklines this winter. All of them have more simplicity in their lines and their trimmings than Mothers things.
 In the evening clothes category are some of the handsomest inc formal things, called "more- or less at home" frocks. These have little Sleeves, some short, some long. One of this type Is made of youthfud white Agnes crepe with sable dyed squirrel melon sleeves. It has a high cowl neck in front and then is open almost to the waist in back. This is the parties, as it's good for dinners floor all around.
 
 For sheer romance, there is a beautiful dress of new gold and white plaid tissue fabric that is youth personified. 1t is made over 6 white taffeta slip, which &C., centuates 1t young freshness. 1t has cute little stand-up collar in front with cartridge pleating ruff fling out to form tiny top sleeves. The skirt of the dress has back fullness from the hips which trails out softly in feminine manner to Q semblance of train length.
 Every debutante or other young girl longs for Q black dress. To the young that seems tho ideal of sophistication. This being a sen- sible era, black dresses are now made for the deb. But they are made on such youthful lines that they make her seem younger and swecter, instead of blase.
 One black velevt ensemble il- lustrates this. It uses ruchings of the velvet lined with gold in the most effective, original and youth- full manner. The cress has a high cut bodice, with this. lined ruching across the top of the bodice and making these young looking drop-shoulders Wide straps of the black cross the shoul- ders and meet the ruching in the back. Around the hipllne there is another gold-lined ruching sim ulating a peplum and the entire bottom of the skirt Is finished, in quaint old.fashioned manner, with the ruching. The jacket also Is | finished with the gold-lined trim. It's young little jacket, too, fit- ting snugly around the young waistline and haring pertly like Q peplum.

Far better the latter, because nearly all the worlds thinking in this age has to be done with noises going on all around us. Much of my own writing has been done in railroad depots or on trains. often with curious children spilling jam and biscuits over my typewriter. o, yes, 1t takes more energy but then this is the most dynamic, noisiest age of all history. Tho wise thing is to concentrate and thus escape 1t. Secure quiet if you can. but, If you cannot, keep your noodle going at top speed any how.

 1t was n long while before Joan could think of hor own new Job. She had been vaguely troubled ut the idea of singing in a night club but had pushed aside her scruplcs. The melodramatic plan to have her wear a mask changed all that. She could sing at the "Jigsaw" and no ono would be wiser. Mask Ing seemed silly but 1t would make the Job much easier.

After lunch the three older children cleared up the bits of paper, burned them care fully and then had great fun stamping out tho fire. Shortly after ward we piled into the car and went home.
 A picnic like that is a great oc- casion for anybody who loves the out-of-doors. We all enjoyed 1t thoroughly, but I am particularly glad that the Johnson children should not only have the benefit of hours spent in the sunshine and fresh air but should also be stor- ing up so many happy memories.

AvofD BLENDING ROUGE LOW
 ON CHEEK.
 Every girl realizes that rouge does much to improve her appear ance. The era of tho pale wan beauty vanished long ago and a girls aim, these days, is to look healthy and full of vitality.
 Few of us have much natural color. Tt is impossible for busy women of this day and age to get enough exercise actually to make our cheeks red. Consequently, we depend on the rouge pot to do the trick.
 Cream rouges are considered best both for evening and for daytime. They stay on much longer and do not have a drying effect on the skin.
 Try and select a rouge which is about the tone your complexion would be if you had a natural high color. And then put it on in cx- actly the place which nature se- lects when she decides to favor you with some coloring in your checks. Don't blend in down too low on your cheeks. You don't want your face to have that dragged down" appearance.
 Apply cream rouge in three lit- tie dots. Jut one on the point of the cheekbone, another in toward the nose and the third ono out ward toward your ear. Rub and blend until you have smooth, even, high color which looks per fectly natural.
 Use a foundation lotion before you put on cream rouge and pow der carefully when you have fln- ished blending it

WASHINGTON-(FP)- Report in
a New York financial journal that the
Roosevelt Administration is consider
ing enactment of anti-strike legisla-
ton was given point by Sen. Robert
F. Wagner, of New York, chairman
of the National Labor Board, in am
address to the American Federation of
Labor convention, Oct. 9, in which he
asserted that the strike sis banned by
common sense" and that labor must
abandon the philosophy of strife in
its relations with employers"
Industrial warfare" said Sen.
Wagner, Cannot work out the deli
cate economic adjustments which are
necessary to prevent the complete
crumbling of our high-powered c o
nomie society" Referring presumably
to the bitter fight being put up by
miners and steel workers in the Pitts
burgh area for recognition of the I'M
ion, he added hal "it is tragic that
workers who have endured so patient
ly during years of unalloyed misfor-
tune should resort so largely to ex-
IRENE methods after revival has be-
gun" The strike, according to
Sen. Wagner, is mo constructive
force. 1t creates hundreds of new
problems, but cannot solve a single
one"
Delegates heard the national labor
board chairman's anti-strike philoso-
ply in silence, Pres. Green, in intro
duction, said that mo one in public
life is held in higher esteem by the
organized workers" Wagner urged
"strong counsel" for those "who tend
to destroy the opportunities for fruit
full industrial relations by quick and
fanciful resort to strikes and other
forms of warfare. The determination
of the majority to follow a wise
course must not be hampered by short
sighted or evil advice"
American workers were extolled for
patient heroism almost unique-des-
pite an economic decline more sweep
ing than that which befell Germany,
France, England, Italy or Japan"
Doubling of minimum wage rates from
81 to nearly $15 and dropping hours
from So or 60 to 40 or less, and the
unemployment of 100000 workers,
Wagner cited as gains under MIRA.
These gains, however, are merely
encounters with the
forces of depression" Roosevelt's la
Dor spokesman admitted. Payrolls
