90 about sending manuscript to an
editor of a magazine? He hasn't
promised to buy it and I'm not at all
sure that he will"
Answer: Send your manuscript
with your name and address plainly
written in the upper corner of the
first page. Be sure to inclose self
addressed and adequately stamped
and sized envelope, to insure its re-
turn in case he cannot use it in his
magazine. If you write q note at all,
the briefer and more impersonal this
is the better.
Dear Mrs. Post: am told that I
behaved improperly by taking flowers
with me when I went to see friends
who had lost their baby. In other
words, I should have sent them from
the florist. Is this true?"
Answer: 1t was entirely proper to
take them with you. The only reason
why flowers are usually sent by the
florist is that it is more practical (and
sometimes better for the flowers) to
have the florist deliver them than to
attempt to do so ones self.

send something to her afterward?
Answer: Send her something az

there are no definite exactions fur-
ther than being appreciative and
agreeable and, If opportunity pre-
sents itself, making yourself useful.
Or perhaps you will find an opportu-

parties of one sort or another.
When you are leaving you must. OF

YOU must give the right amounts. The
friend with whom you are going will
tell you this df necessary she can
ask the hostess, since you may not
give too little and you should not
give too much). As soon as you have
left YOU must write an apprec1auVe

wait, if I were you, to send present
when you find something that ap-
peals to you as especially suitable.

AN INTERESTING bit of history
= enters into the article with refer
ence to the famous Cartoons OF
Hampton Court" in England. 1t ap-
pears that Pope Leo x ordered two
sets Of tapestries to be worked for him
from cartoons painted by Raphael,
one for his own palace and one to be
sent as a present to Henry VIII. This
second set was accordingly transmit
ted to the monarch and, upon their
arrival in England. were hung in
Whitehall. After the death Of Charles
I they were purchased by the Spanish
Ambassador to London (Don Alonzo de
Cardenas), who carried them to Spain.
There they devolved to the house of
Alva, whence they were purchased
by an English consul in Spain and
restored to London. After some
period of exhibition in the Egyptian
Hall there. they were purchased by a
foreigner and again taken to the Con-
tinent. The tapestries were again ex-
hibited in London in 1888.
At this time the hangings were
said to have completely lost all their
fresh coloring and the gold and silver
threads woven into them had become

TINE new fabrics for Autumn are
arriving daily and piling up
all sorts of interesting antici-
Il patton in the minds of those
clever persons who can make their
own, or like to have their clothes made
for them instead of buying them
ready-made. 1t is always fun to
choose your own material and plan
Just how you would like to have it
used so that 1t will be just little diff
ferent from any one else's. Then
when you are complimented on your
good looking frock you have distinct
feeling of pride because you made it
yourself.
Velvets are going to be very impor-
tant this Fall and these cover a very
large field when you consider all the
various kinds that are now on the
market. The transparents we are all
familiar with and they do make such
beautiful, rich gowns in those glorious
Renaissance colors! Some transpar-
ents are also water repellent and
others again are processed to make
them -crushable. With the added
features of durability you will find the
prices increasing accordingly.
Velvets brocaded on chiffon are
charming for evening wear and are
particularly pleasing on the matronly
type of woman and combine admir-
ably with plain velvet, when used for
the skirt. A handsome black velvet
has tiny lines of gold metallic threads
through it that gives it a lovely cast
as the light catches it. The back of
this velvet is so attractive that 1t may
easily be used for bows, belts and other
ornamentation on the same frock.
Velveteens are going to be enor-
mously popular, especially in the COL
lege girl shirtmaker dresses and for
separate skirts and overblouses. They
come in great variety of colors.
THE silk crepes are especially inter-
esting this Fall, their dull WOOL
like surfaces often relieved by tiny
novelty patterns in diamonds and
checks. In many instances the re-
verse side of the material is satin
finished which allows it to mold the
figure smoothly. All satin matelasses
are very good, too. Then there is the
rain crepe with a nubby texture
through it and the rumpleskin with a
faille back and a velvety face. Very
newest of the new is an all-silk duve-
tyn, soft and light as can be, with a

Child Makes
Own Place in
Life Course
Personal Effort and
Achievement Are
Necessary.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

"T AM going to give them a happy
childhood Mine was miserable,
and intend that theirs shall be diff
ferent. It Is the least can DO
for them"
Did you ever hear that? And did
you see the idea succeed? Nobody
can give children happiness. Nobody
can give a child anything that truly
matters. We can give them toys and
money and clothes. the material
things that please them and stand by
to see the gifts discarded, worn out,
thrown aside and forgotten.
"Such ungrateful children. We have
given them everything. They never
had an unfulflled wish. Anything
they wanted they got. and yet they
were never satisfied, never happy.
What can you do for children that
would make them satisfied and
happy"
First, understand that after you
have fed and sheltered and clothed
children and tended them with aftec-
tionate care as far as they allowed,
you can do nothing more. You can
not give them anything that becomes
O part of themselves. Your gifts of
cars and money and toys were out
side them and fell off with the first
motion of a stirring soul. Only what
the children gathered for themselves
can be their own for the span OF
their years. The rest does not matter.
You cannot give child an educa-
ton. You can make it possible for
him to enter the doors Of college,
but your service ends when your check
goes through the bank. The child
stands alone alter that, and whether
he gets an education or not depends
upon what he does there, not upon
what you give him. He will get and
keep only what he creates out OF the
material afforded him. His mind
must work, his muscles must ache,
his heart must thrill to the doing,
before he gets anything that is going
to stay by him. All the thought you
can bestow, all the worry and anxiety
and love you center upon him will
not add to his growth. He creates
his own or he goes without.
This is the most difficult of all les
sons for mothers and teachers to
learn. In their intense desire to give
the children what they need and
must have in order to succeed in liv-
ing happily they exhaust themselves
in the effort. I have seen mothers
sacrifice health, desires. money and
all their time to force precious gifts
of education and training upon chill
dren who resented their efforts.
I have seen tired teachers, worn by
the trying tasks Of a school day.
carry home piles of papers upon
which they worked hours and hours
in an effort to give the children what
they had not gathered for themselves.
And I have seen the children toss the
sacrificial work aside as useless and
60 unheeding on their way.
We can give children nothing. We
can offer them much. We can in
spire them by word and example. We
can stand by ready to second their
efforts, ready to lend our strength to
theirs whenever the opportunity Of
fers, but we cannot add to their
growth. Only through personal effort.
only in labor honestly wrought, only
by personal desire and purpose and
will, can a child succeed.
Make the children's way plain be-
fore them, and then stand out Of
their way. It is the best way, the
only way, you can help.

10 YOU like "sukquttahhash?"
Yes, you have eaten it. This is
the original Indian term for that
mixture of green corn and lima beans
which we know as succotash. like
to cook the corn on the cob at the
same time I am cooking my lima
beans and then to combine the cut
corn with the beans. While butter
is often used for dressing, I prefer
cream and a dash of black pepper
or paprika, as well as the usual salt.
You may replace the lima beans
with string beans or use all three
If you like. String beans are also
very good combined with celery if the
vegetables are cooked separately.
Another unusually good combination
Is string beans and stewed tomatoes,
well seasoned with minced onion and
dash each of paprika and cloves,
as well as salt. I ate this vegetable
dish first on a train between Genoa
and Nice, where I had the best food
in Italy. BY the way, little minced
onion with buttered or creamed string
beans is delicious for a change. 1t
is also very good with buttered car
rotS.
Now that there are so many vege-
tables at the height Of their season,
like to make occasionally what ! call
a vegetable goulash. Salad oil Is used
for the basis of this delicious vege-
table combination, which makes a

r OFTEN 60 through q town In
which there are rows Of small
houses built exactly alike and
L each with the same pocket hand
kerchief of yard about it. But one
house will have clean white curtains
hung at shining windows. Everything
about it will be spick-and-span. A
rose will be trained over the doorway

will be home, place Of comfort
and rest and beauty.
The house next door will be dirty
and dilapidated. There will be broken
panes in the unwashed windows,

A creaking shutter will hang by one
hinge. The yard will be dumping
place for tin cans and broken-down
furniture. It will be nothing but a
shack, too forlorn and miserable for
human habitation.

are given the same material for hap

pleasure in simple things. and some
of us fashion out of it house of joy,

an abode of misery.
Take marriage, for instance. Every
husband and wife stand on an equal
footing at the altar. They are all
facing the same difficulties and dan
gers. They are starting down q rocky
road that will require skill and pa

Each is marrying perfect stranger
who will develop peculiarities and
traits of character and disposition that
they did not dream were concealed
about his or her person. Each Is
going to be called upon to make sac
rifices, to endure hardships. No mar
riage is q picnic. It is an endurance
contest.
But one set of husbands and wives
will have sense enough and grit
enough to meet the situation. They
will bear and forbear. They will adapt
themselves to each other. They will
show each other tenderness and ap-
ureciation. They will study each
others tastes and learn to play each
others games. And so. as the years
90 by, they will draw closer and closer
together in q companionship that will
make their marriage o little bit OF
paradise on earth.
THE other set of husbands and wives
L will fight and quarrel and say
insulting and unforgiveable things to
each other. Each will be selfishly
bent on getting the better Of the
other. Neither will make the slight
e. e~ort to adjusting himself or her
self to the other. All that they will
show each other will be ill-temper,
lack Of even common polteness, dis

Restore Hair
|WhenSeasOn
Reconditioning Must
Follow Care-Free
Vacation Days.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.
IF YOU know exactly what has hap

r YOU know exactly what mas nap
pened to your hair during the care
free, hairfree days of Summer, it
should not be dificult to get down to
the important business of recondition-
ing it.
Let's go back. trace the effects Of
the Summer sun and exposure gen.
orally on the hair. see what swimming
has done and salt sea breezes. Salt
water cakes into the scalp, clogs the
pores, makes the hair harsh, gummy,
sticky. Unless 1t Is Immediately sham
pooed out or at least brushed out it
leaves the hair in a sad state.
Gritty sand clogs the scalp pores
further, irritating them, even inter-
fering with their normal functioning.
Then, too, the scalp perspired freely
during the Summer and this perspirs-
ton consists Of the waste material,
toxins and acids which the body is
throwing of. The perspiration, too,
must be cleansed away, else 1t will
take the luster from the hair, leaving
it dull, drab, colorless. General ex-
poSure makes the hair harsh. The
sun dries out the natural oils. That's
why the normal scalp usually becomes
quite dry during the Summer Cor at
least after an active Summer) and
the dry scalp goes completely hay
wire. The only type that holds its
own Is the quite oily scalp. This type
is usually benefited and normalized by
sensible amount of summing, yet
oddly enough, too much sun has a
detrimental effect, at first stimulating
the oil glands so that the hair is posi-
lively dank and then, as exposure
continues, the same drying out process
takes place, the hair becoming
streaked, dry and brittle.
Sun, Air Excellent In Moderate Doses.
I don't want all of the foregoing
to leave the impression that exposure
Is hard on the hair. Fact is that sun
shine and air ir moderate doses have
q most vltahzing, healthful effect on
scalp and hair. The air should be
allowed to circulate freely through the
hair. That is why it is a mistake to
wear tight hats or bind the head in
such a way as to shut out air and
light and constrict the natural cir
culation. Attach elastics TO your hats
If necessary to keep the chapeau from
blowing on. but don't wear your hat
a size too small for your head.
One famous hair specialist evolved
treatment this past Summer for pro-
tecting the hair by coat Of light oil,
in much the same way as the skin is
protected from too much sun. But
unfortunately the majority of women
seem to neglect the hair. So now it
means intensive brushing, scalp mas
sage, color treatments.
