tiny and featherweight and absolutely
rustproof. They will stand endless
Tubing and even improve with con-
tinued use. On the little dresses and
boys suits they are placed where they
may be most easily reached and in
many instances are hidden under
flaps in the little girls frilly frocks.
Mothers will appreciate the automatic
drop-seats, ample shoulder room. cor
rect sizing and freedom from shrinkage
that are features of these splendidly
designed garments. And they are all
moderately priced, too. You will love
the little brother and sister sets like
those sketched above. The little shorts
of these suits are held up by means Of
suspenders of the same material, which
cross In the back. Most youngsters can
slip these shorts or skirts off as easily
as they can a sun suit. The little
separate blouses have talon fastenings
down the front, so easy to manage.
And how the children love to make
them zip!
You might think that these clothes
come only in the most practical
play outfits, but that is not the case.
In the Washington shop where these
garments are being specially demon
strated you will find great variety Of
attractive styles in dresses made Of
sheer, clear -colored organdies. of quaint
fowered voiles. of tiny printed crepes,
colorful linens with touches of con-
trast colors, and pique, also little boys
suits Of broadcloth, linen and pique, all
with smart little collars and details Of
braid trimming.
We were especially interested in the
little pajamas. They come in little
figured crinkled crepes at 81 IS and In
printed percales at 81. They all have
ample front openings with small talon
fastenings. back arrangement that
eliminates buttons also, and little
belt that ties around in the front.
Then. too, the slide fastener has in
vaded the shoe department, and you
find it used instead of laces. This is
another big help for little hands.
Sweaters, of course, use the same clever
device to great advantage for the little
tots as well as the grown-ups. In fact
the talon fastener just seems to be
making the world a better place to
live in for lot of people, and in order
to thoroughly appreciate it from the
child's angle we wish you would visit
the store where the special demonstra-
tion is being given and talk to the
very clever and interesting young
woman who is spending a few days in
Washington while making a tour of all
the large cities of the country. If you
bring the children along they will be
given copy of the jolly Jingle book
that, "in rhyme and prose, tells the
story of children's clothes"

Mothers-in-Law May Be Either Blessing
or Curse in Their Children's Homes.

china every day, and If it made Sally
fighting mad to be found fault with
that wasn't her lookout. A young
woman ought to be willing to let her
husbands mother tell her what to do.
And, thank heaven, she opened
Toms eyes and made him see Sally
as she was instead of thinking her
goddess or something. Why. when
she went to live with them Tom was
just so in love that he was blind as
bat and thought everything Sally did
was just right. If he hadn't had a
mother maybe he wouldn't have found
out any better. But she pointed out
to him that Sally was extravagant
and threw things in the garbage can
that she should have put in the soup
pot; that she bought too many dresses
and played too much bridge and didn't
stay at home all the time, like she
used to do when she was young, until
he got SO that nothing Sally did
pleased him and they fought all the
time.
A ND mother doesn't blame herself
at all for Mary's and Sans mar
riage going blooey. All she did was
just to harp continually on every one
of Sans little peculiarities until Mary
quit seeing him as a hero of romance
and beheld him instead as a boor.
And mother feels that she is doing
nothing more than her duty in killing
Mary's faith in her husband by i'm
planting seeds of suspicion in her mind
about his good-looking stenographer,
or his conferences. She is sure she
has perfect right her daughters
home to run it her own way, even If
it does drive Sam out of it to his club,
where he can have a little peace.
1t is because even the best of women
can be the worst of mothers-in-law
that makes it safest for no mother
in-law to live with her children.

But I don't want to-"

you? For my Sake?"
am afraid that he can't and I am
certain that it would be better not
to ask him to try to do it for your
sake.
You see, when child says, Il don't
want to-" to some important decision,
he usually means that he cannot do it.
Instinctively he knows that this thing
is not for him. He cannot explain
because his words are few and his
powers of using them very limited.
He feels rather than thinks. He feels
before he can say that he knows.
Feelings are hard to put into words.
That is why the troubled young per-
son falls back on, Il don't want to-"
He is feeling that the thing goes
against his grain.
Children want to please their
families and friends. teachers and
neighbors. They would much rather
please them than not, but there are
occasions when they feel that they
must go against the tide, and that
feeling brings them great discom-
fort and confusion. Listen to such
child's reasons when they come. and
weigh them carefully in the light of
your knowledge of his character. What
IS it he fears? Whom does he fear?
Whom is he trying most to please?
All these are factors in his seemingly

and they have no other way of saying
that they have an idea different to
yours. But adolescents say it when
they are faced with a situation that
'frlghtenS or repelS them. 1t is a mis-
take to force them either by direct
commands or by appeals to their
emotions. Force will do no good. Be

accept it as good, as within reach of
successful achievement. AS long as
his mind retreats from it any ad-
vance is hopeless.
Try to find why the child fears the
thing. Don't ask him directly, but
watch, listen and wait. Never hurry
about such decision. Give the child
chance to control his first fear. Let
him feel your sympathy and your
desire to help. Teach him always
that what he does is done for himself
and to himself. He is the one most
affected. If he is trained in that
idea he will not be so bedeviled by
fears and breads and negative ges-
lures. Encourage him to try new
things, praise him for the effort, but
keep teaching him that all he does
affects him more than it does anyone
else.
Children cannot go to college, marry
mate selected by you, go into a pro-
fession or industry for your sake.
They must go on the strength of their
own purpose and desire. They can do
nothing else, try as they may; so
don't ask them or force them to the
contrary.

The wording is old-fashioned, but
certainly to the point!
There are surprisingly many uses
for stale cake. One Of the favorite
desserts. especially in households
where there are children, is made by
spreading slices of stale cake with
jam, placing them in glass dish and
pouring a cold boiled custard over
them. This is a good way for the
kitchenette housekeeper to make use
of one or two slices of Sundays loaf
cake. If the boiled custard seems too
fattening, try covering the slices with
fresh crushed strawberries and pour
ing unsweetened pineapple juice over
all.
Another good dessert is

lady fingers, or slices of stale cake.
White of one egg, beaten stiff.
Slice the bananas and lay them in
a glass dish, in alternate layers with
the slices Of cake. Put the milk and
the water into a saucepan; add the
sugar, salt and the cornstarch, which
has been diluted in little cold
water. When mixture has thickened,
pour it over the bananas and cake,
and let all stand until cold and ready
to serve. The top may be covered
with the white of the egg. beaten
until stiff, or with whipped cream. if
desired.

other fruit, into small pieces, and
pile the bits on top of the cakes.
Shape with a knife into the form of
cone or pyramid. Place in shallow
tin, close together, but not quite
touching. Prepare one of the fruit
favored gelatines on the market, ac-
cording to directions on the package
and pour over cones. Allow them to
set in the icebox, and when ready to
serve, trim the base of each one
carefully, lift from the tin and set on
dessert platter. Serve with whipped
cream.
CAKE PUDDING.
Cut stale cake into slices, remove
crusts or remains of icing and dip
in melted butter. Arrange in small
cake tin in even layers, alternating
with layers of plump raisins. When
the tin is full, pour over all a mix
ture made of one pint Of milk, the
yolks of two eggs and two table
spoons Of sugar. Use only as much
as the cake will absorb. Bake In
moderate oven for Is minutes. Turn
onto fiat dish and serve with straw
berry preserves.
CAKE TARTS.
Cut cake into quarter-inch slices
and then form into circles with a
biscuit cutter. Moisten the circles
lightly with milk, spread with jam
and join together like sandwich.
Place in a frying pan with little
butter and saute on both sides to a
light brown. Sprinkle with powdered
sugar and serve hot.
PEACH CAKE.
Line the bottom of a deep pudding
dish with slices of stale sponge cake
which have been soaked In sherry
fiavoring. Fill the dish with sliced
canned peaches and sprinkle well
with sugar. Set on ice until very cold
and just before serving, top with
whipped cream.
THE jellies are a little more difficult
to handle OF course, you know
that bits of fruit jelly, such as cur
rant, apple, guava, and so forth, can
be melted down together to form a
delicious hot sauce for meats. But
dessert jellies present a somewhat
different problem.
However, if good bit of last nights
gelatin mold is staring at you re-
proachfully from the icebox, in a
somewhat wilted condition, try add
ing the. juice Of one lemon to the
mixture and beating it until the
jelly becomes entirely white. Line
mold with fresh fruit, pour the
jelly over this and let stand on ice
again to reset. The fruit will make
the dessert seem an entirely different
one from that of the preceding
evening.
Or cut the jelly into small dice or
pieces with a sharp knife and beat
into it lightly an equal quantity Of
meringue. This should be done in a
cool place. Whipped cream may be
used in pace of the meringue, if
desired.

~ EAR MISS DIX: want TO de-
fend the mother-in-law My
mother-in-law was loved by
49, her in-laWS as if she had been
their own mother and was always
a welcome guest in their homes. When
she went into her in-laws' homes it
was not to criticize or give advice or
to try to run them. 1t was to help.
To take care of the babies, entertain
the children, to assist with the sew
ing, to be of service. She had money
of her own and enjoyed sharing it
with her children and grandchildren.
When she came into a home she
changed the atmosphere. She made
things peaceful and soothing. If
more mothers -in-law would try to be
like her, there would be no mother-in-
law problem.
DAUGHTER.
Answer-You are quite right. There
are mothers-in-law who come into
their children's homes as minister
ing angels, Just as there are other
mothers-in-law who are black curse
upon their children's homes. And the
pity Of it is that there are so many
more mothers-in-law who bear di-
vorce in their hands instead of an
olive branch when they go to stay
with their children.
T KNOW of no other thing that is a
sadder commentary on human ma
ture than the fact that statistics show
that more homes are broken up by
mothers-in-law than by infidelity or
drink or any other one cause. All
students of domestic relationship agree
in asserting that the young couple
who start their married life alone
with no in-law on the premises have
an 80 per cent better chance of max
ing a success Of marriage than they
would have if the mother of either
the bride or the bridegroom lived
with them.
Now. no one will contend that the
average mother-in-law, even the one
who Is a trouble-maker in her chil-
dren's home, Is a bad woman at heart
or that she deliberately and mali
ciously starts out to wreck her chill
dren's marriages. On the contrary.
she is generally a good woman, kind
and sympathetic and helpful to the
needy. Moreover, she loves her chill
dren and wants to see them happy.
and she Is honestly shocked and hor-
rified when she sees them getting d.
vorces, their homes in ruins about
them and their poor little children
half orphaned.
r. II n X
CHE doesn't once suspect that she
is responsible for the catastrophe.
She would deny it bitterly If you ac-
cused her of heading the home-wreck-
ing crew. Why, she didn't do thing.
She Just tried to teach her daughter
in-law how to keep house the way she
did and to raise the baby the way she
reared her children. Goodness knows,
she never was one of the mealy-
mouthed women who chew their
tongues instead Of saying right out
what they thought, and SO she just
told Sally about how bad her cook
ing was; what q slack manager she
was; that abe ought not use her best

can't get in this thing"
w YHAT a struggle in the morn
M ing getting all the little
Wv garments properly fastened
up, each child impatiently
waiting for help and mother scurrying
around trying to do thousand things
at once, with daddy not bit of help
there reading the paper and waiting
for his breakfast. That's the way it
used to be before the children's but
tonless age, but now it's different, as
you shall hear.
Buttons have been banished in the
wake of the self help idea and children
taught to dress themselves at an early
age. Child psychologists declare that
one of the first important steps in
the training of children is to teach
them to dress and undress themselves.
Beginning as early as 2 years of age,
children should be taught to do as
much for themselves as possible. This
increases the child's resourcefulnesS,
builds his character :. instills in him
the qualities that later will go long
way to help him win the battles Of life.
Years ago the United States Bureau
of Home Economics recognized the
! importance of this step in building
character and, in the interests Of both
parent and child, co-operated with
manufacturers to provide simple, easily
adjusted clothing for children. But
tons were reduced in number and in
creased in size, and some of the prin-
ciples of good design were applied.
But many Of the problems relating to
drop seats, adequate shaping and
ample openings were only partly
solved.
THE self-help idea got its real start
when the talon slide fastener did
away with buttons entirely, making it
possible for even tiny tots to put on
their leggings unassisted. What
sigh of relief went up from mothers
all over the country! Many Of the
old-fashioned leggings had 18 but
tons-36 to the pair. Think how
much time was consumed in putting
them on and taking them of!
Now a child's complete wardrobe
may be easily adjusted by means Of
talon fasteners and with no loss Of
style features. The fasteners used are
