Nothing to Fear

A girl who falls in love with
an ugly man, whom otherwise
she admires, has nothing to fear
or to regret, so far as I can
see.
In fact, there are plenty Of
old wives tales to the effect
that too pronounced good looks,
on a mans part, have often
been disruptive of happy mar
rage. A good, safe, depend
able. acknowledgement hus-
band. they will tell you, guar
anteed to wear a lifetime, has
no need whatever of being hand
some.
A nice, plain, neutral, un-
misunderstanding man is, they
say, not only a good foil for a
pretty wife, but unlikely to be
pursued by other women.
Some girls, less idealistic
than the writer of the letter
have quoted, discover for them
selves the practical advantages
of being better-looking than
their husbands. One young
friend of mine was for years
impatient for her husband to
develop badness, so that other
women might find him less
attractive.

1lnQ one. Wilma La''le
And so furniture and furnish
1ngs have followed the same
trend. That's perhaps one rea-
son for the great popularity Of
the love seat. It fits into many
a room where a sofa simply
would not do. And If the room
is large enough, a pair of love
seats is smart, giving greater
seating capacity, and following
the fashion of pairs, which is
still so good.
True Economy
Newest of developments, we
have the love seat that opens
up and makes a bed. That is
true economy of space, for if
you live in one small room, YOU
may have it look as much like
a living room as you please, yet
comfortable as a real bedroom
at night.
Less than five feet of wall
space is REQUIRED for this marvel
Gus new affair, yet it opens up
in a real three-quarter bed, four
feet wide, six feet two inches
long. It is roomy enough for
two people.
Good Selection
The pillows that complete the
mattress form the back of the
love seat, and are good and
thick, so that it really is COM
Portable. There are two or three
style ends, plain, curved, and
so on, to suit the furnishings in
your room.

Rinse Thoroughly

Rinse the squares in four
waters, since the baby's tender
skin may be irritated If any
particle of soap adheres to the
diaper when it is used next
time.
After the thorough rinsing
the diapers should be we'll
boiled, and this is a procedure
never to be omitted. The cloth
must be absolutely sterile be-
fore it is used again.
Diapers should be dried out
doors in the sunshine and
wind, not hung over the radi-
ator in the nursery. After they
are dry they can be pulled into
shape, although ironing makes
them softer.
While we are on this subject
I would advise mothers against
the use of rubber diapers or
rubber pants, except perhaps &C.
casionally for very short periods,
when the baby is being taken
somewhere.
The rubber induces excessive
perSpiration, and prevents evapo-
ration of moisture from the skin,
so that a local irritation is
likely to result.

The Harmony
Club
By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN

By MRS.CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
'Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"SOme 20 years ago IL of us
organized a little club. In view
of the fact that we were all
young mothers, We called our
club The Mothers Club Since
then, however, two members
dropped out, and those who
took their places are not
mothers. and our children are
all grown up now. Incidentally
there is another Mothers Club,
and we would like to change
our name.
"The object of our club is
purely recreatiOnal, and we
spend the afternoon in playing
cards and doing fancy work.
Will you be kind enough to
suggest a suitable name?
"S."
One of the grandest and most
beautiful words in the world is,
I think, the word Harmony, =.
And I think that Harmony
Club might be a perfect name
for this club that has existed
so harmoniously for so many
years.
This is a lovely word to say,
and a lovely word to mean.
Lyric, too, is a charming word,
and perhaps you'd like to call
your club The Lyric. Or some
thing with the warm hearted
word friendly" in it, such as
The Friendly Group; or Good
Companions.

Drinks
Tea Popular
In Summer

Tea forms the foundation OF
many delicious iced drinks.
When making such beverages.
only a fine quality tea should
be used. The variety chosen
depends upon individual taste
to a certain extent but some
like to use an orange pekoe
for iced tea and green tea
when the beverage is made of
a combination of fruit juices.
If you are not familiar with
both blends we would suggest
your experimenting with each
to discover your own preference.
There may be pleasant sur
prise awaiting you.
Fresh Tea
Do not make the mistake of
using leftover tea chilled. It is
only fresh hot tea that will lend
to the beverage that blended
quality which is so desirable.
When mixed with fruit juices
of different flavors, it absolute
ly defies detection. Even those
who ordinarily do not care for
tea are unable to find the flavor
of it here.
For iced tea scald the tea
pot with boiling water. Pour
off this water and add the tea,
allowing three to four teaspoon
fuls for each pint of freshly
boiling water used. Pour the
boiling water over the tea and
let stand three minutes.
While this is sleeping, fill the
glasses with ice. Then pour the
hot tea directly over the ice,
filling the glasses from one-half
to two-thirdS full. Add one
tablespoonful sugar syrup and
one tablespoonful of lemon
juice. Serve with slices or Sec
tons of lemon.
If desired, the amount of
lemon juice may be increased,
or orange may be substituted
4OE L1le LEMON.
Ginger Ale
To make ginger ale combina-
lions, half fill a glass, which
has been previously filled with
ice. with the hot tea, add two
tablespoonful of sugar syrup,
and fill the glass with ginger
ale.
To vary, add one tablespoon
full of lemon juice, or one table
spoonful of grape, raspberry. or
loganberry juice, and one-half
tablespoonful of lemon juice. A
few drops of bottled lime juice
added to many drinks gives an
interesting flavor,

Theatre Offered Rent
Free For Harlem Play

New York-Harlem lovers Of COM
munty inspired and community man
aged drama have an opportunity to
launch a program in a regular COM
mercial house at no rent expense, &C
cording to Frank Schiffman, manager
Of tho Lafayette Theatre, 7th avenue
and 131st street, who closed the house
last week. For several weeks the
Lafayette. formerly a vaudeville CEN
ter, has been running a. a motion
picture theatre.
M. Schiffman, who IS centering his
vaudeville interests at the Harlem
Opera House in 125th street, where
he is managing director, said if a
group of responsible people organized
themselves into a dramatic company
and came to him in a businesslike way
he would give the use of the Lafayette
free of rent as his contribut. on to the
effort to revive drama in Harlem.
He said all the theatre expense the
group would have would be current,
such as lighting and janitorial. Mr..
Schiffman said also he would be glad
to give such a group his professional
advice, enabling them to save money
or costumes, ETC., and would help in
every way possible as a friend Of the
drama to help make the project a
success. He said he has long wanted
to see the drama revived in Harlem,
but was not able to undertake it him
self, in view of his other theatrical
interests.
The Lafayette, the oldest playhouse
in Harlem and long noted as the finest
