Of age would naturally collect. Well

tone, while the rungs. spindles and
legs should be quite dark.
WHILE you are about it you may
w want to tackle a few lamp
shades, prints or maps. These are just
as simply done, though the procedure
is a little different A coat of white
shellac must first be applied to the
surface. Use clean, wide brush and
paint rapidly, starting on one edge
of the surface and working toward
the other Do not go back and re-
touch until after the shellac is dry
it dries in q few minutes and if dis
turbed Immediately after the first
stroke it will roll up and become
messy. Some paper and parchments
ar, more absorbent than others, SO if
the first coat sinks in. apply second
one as soon as the first is dry. When
the shellac is thoroughly dry, smear
the lumber over the entire surface of
the print. map or shade and rub it
of Immediately with a soft, clean, dry
cloth. leaving the necessary coloring
in the corners and borders, of course.
Decorative maps and illustrations
from magazine covers pasted on
heavy mounts shellacked and antiqued
make clever wall decorations for the
studio, den, or nursery. Plain parch-
ment shades can be made more at
tractive-waste paper baskets, too, can
be greatly improved.
Turpentine will remove all of the
lumber. so don't be timid about ex-
perimenting. If you decide you do not
like the antique flnish-just rub the
lumber of with cloth dampened
with turpentine-presto. you have q
plain surface again!

knitting bees-where sorority sisters

hobby-be it sketching or stunning
the ukulele without being disturbed
or disturbing the rest of the family.
Some furniture was brought down
from the attic-the rest had to be
purchased within limited sum. but
the restriction held no barriers for
this bright young lady! She dashed
right down town and bought a few
odd pieces of implanted furniture to
complete the room. She had expected

All this for practically the same

Useful Task
Leads Child
.TONOrnnalcy
Household Material Is
Likely to Meet Reg
ular Demand.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

THE first demand a child makes
= after his immediate primary
needs have been met is for something
to do. The child of tender years
and the adolescent are happy only
when they are busy at some absorbing
occupation.
Much of the naughtiness that both
ers young mothers could be prevented
by giving the naughty child some
thing to do. Sit him on a rug in
his own particular corner daily, with
a basket containing bits of colored
cloth and paper, a rattle, a ball.
toy animal and a box with lid that
can be taken of and put on again
and again. Teach him to amuse him
self for a period daily, gradually
lengthening the time so that when
he is an independent child he can
get along without asking his mother
for something to do.
Give each child, right from the
beginning. something useful to do,
letting him hold the soap or the
washrag during his bath, II he can
do no more. AS he grows his duties
grow in importance and completely.
This is what makes him feel wanted,
a feeling that is necessary to his
mental and physical health.
The great difficulty about all this Is
that the home offers so little real
work that a child can do these days,
unless he lives on farm, or a near
farm. But there is always something
that a child can do to help himself
and others, and so feel himself a
partner in the life of the family.
In the larger towns and cities the
opportunities are fewer. The homes
are small and crowded. Children
usefulness is cut down to the vanish
ing point. School has taken over much
that used to be taught in the homes.
Again the difficulty arises. The schools
are crowded, the teachers are over
worked. There Is no room, no ma
terial, no free teacher to of1er oppor-
tunity for active useful work such as
children used to do as home chores.
Mending chairs. painting odd bits,
sorting odds and ends, cleaning house
and wards and outbuildings. All that
went out when the factory was opened,
the new electric machinery set up
Living habits have changed. But the
basic need for usefulness Is un-
changing.
Inasmuch as schools have had to
take over the duties of the home they
should have provided activities that
would help the children to be useful
These bits of equipment that could
be carried to the school with safety
and economy ought to have been
placed there and children taught to
use them. Electric coasters, irons,
vacuum cleaners, washers, kitchen ap-
planes should be demonstrated and
the children, boys and girls alike.
taught how to use them. They should
be taught the principles on which
they work.
The science shops should be in
every school. Here the basic princi-
pies of the machinery Of today should
be demonstrated and taught, and the
pupils taken to see the machines at
work until they are thoroughly ac-
quainted with them. This must be
done If the children are to have their
hunger for something to do satisfied.
With nothing to do they drift aim
lessly about and get into trouble. Such
waste Of youth is unthinkable.

EAR MISS DIX am a boy
in my middle teens and find
1t hard to get along with my
fo%y,or IIo 10 Hn uoore old

EAR MISS DIX am q boy
in my middle teens and find
1t hard to get along with my
- father He Is go years old
with many silly ideas. For example.
when I leave the house in the eve
ming I must state where am going
and must put up with a big fuss. An
other thing, he demands that I give
up most Of my money when I work
for household expenses. He earns a
meager salary himself. I graduate
next year and am in need of money
for graduation and clothes. He is in
great need of money for the house
hold. What percentage of my earn
ings should I give him? After 1 grad
uate and am on my own, would you
advise me to leave home and go out
into the wide world alone? D. D.
Answer-Your father is making a
mistake that most fathers make in
using force and authority instead Of
tact in dealing with an adolescent
boy. And, believe me. it is time
and place that calls for more di-
plomacy than handling problem in
the League of Nations.
For at no other period during his
whole life is a boy so sure of himself,
so certain that he Is embodied wis
dom, so absolutely confident that he
Is perfectly capable of managing his
own affairs without any suggestion
from his elders as when he is l6 or
II. Nor is there any other time in
his life when he is SO jealous of his
independence, so eager for personal
liberty, so determined to come and go
as he pleases, and it's pity that
parents do not oftener recognize this
self-assertiveness as just a phase of
the hobble -de-hoy stage and do not
meet it with finesse instead of doing
battle with it and raising perpetual
family ructions that very often end
in the boys running away from home
and that always end in bitterness and
estranged relationship between the lad
and the father who is trying to con-
troll him.
ONE of the Wisest women I know, and
one whose fine sons adore her,
often says that her tongue is half
inch shorter than it used to be be-
cause she chewed off that much of it
keeping from asking her boys, when
they first began to step out, where
they were going and when they would
be back. She said she realized that
they were at an age when it made
them feel gloriously manlike and
grown-up to be able to put on their
hats and to walk out the front door
without giving an account to any one
Furthermore, she says she realized
that if they were going where they
should not go they would lie to her
about it, and If they were going to

places that were proper for them to
60 it did not make any difference
whether she knew or not. So why
rifle them by asking the questions that
bring on a fight?
That is good tip for all fathers
and mothers and it works out to the
parents advantage in the end, be-
cause II children feel that they are
trusted it puts them on their honor
to justify it. and if their parents
don't pry into their affairs they gen.
orally tell the things that no amount
of questioning could have got out Of
them. What fathers and mothers
forget is that children are human
beings with the same assortment Of
human instincts that they have.
But D. D., while I appeal to your
father to use more intelligence in
dealing with you, I appeal to you to
use some heart in dealing with him.
If he does not understand you, neither
DO you understand him. 1t seems
hard to you that he should take away
from you the money you earn and
that you would like to spend on nice
clothes and taking the girls out and
having a good time.
RUT have you ever thought of how
he works and how much he denies
himself to support you? And keep you
in school? Doesn't he come home
. from work every day worn to fragile?
Aren't his clothes the shabbiest in the
whole family? Doesn't everybody else
have little treats oftener than he
does?
JUST what percentage of your earr-
ings you should pay into the FAM
lily fund I don't know, because you
can't figure it out on a cold mathe-
NAUTICAL formula. You can't say you
should pay so much for board. because
so much else goes with it besides food
and lodging. So much love is thrown
in. so much tenderness, SO much anX-
iety. There would be SO much nurs-
ing that didn't keep tab on the hours
of watching by your bedside If you
were sick. There are such arrears Ct
debts that piled up during the long
years when you were little and help
less, that no one can say how much
child owes its parents in dollars and
cents All we know is that it is debt
that can never be repaid in full. II
would bankrupt the richest.
And believe me, D. D., family soli-
darity is beautiful thing. and thele
is nothing from which you would get
more happiness than in working shou!-
der to shoulder with your parents,
making their lives easier and giving
your little brothers and sisters advan-
tages which perhaps you have never
| known. Try it. DOROTHY DIX.

One very important point to re-
member in the making of fruit cake
is that all the fruit must be well
Toured, so that it will not stick to-
Rether, and will be evenly distrib-
uted throughout the batter. This
also tends to prevent the fruit from
settling to the bottom of the cake
during the baking process. Where
feasible the fruit should be cut with
scissors, rather than chopped with a
knife, as this seems to produce bet
-textured cake.

The Old Gardener SAYS:

Flower growers who live in city
flats or in other places where
potting soil is hard to obtain or
where pots of earth are consid-
cred messy" will get good results
by growing such bulbs as hya-
cinths, paper white narcissi and
Chinese sacred lilies in bowls Of
fiber. No drainage is needed
when this plan is used, but sew
eral large pieces Of charcoal
should be placed in the bottom
of the bowl, which should then
be filled to within half an inch
of the top. The fiber should be
firmed with the fingers after the
bulb has been placed in position,
for otherwise the water will run
through it too quickly. Excessive
moisture must be avoided but
there should always be enough so
that it touches the bottom Of the
bulb. This fiber can be obtained
at florist shops aud seed stores.
