DECORATED FLOWER POTS.

1 XII AO " 1
ITS time the plants were being
brought into the house and mother
will appreciate some pretty pots to
put them in. You can transform
her old red flower pots into really
beautiful things with very little
trouble.
I, The easiest way to do this is to
shellac them thoroughly and then
enamel them. You can use a bright
color for the lower part and black for
the top. or enamel the whole pot one
color and paint 4 small design on the
front of it.
Try enameling one pot plain white
and then add circles or splashes of all
sorts of colors. Or paint 4 yellow one
and crisscross 1T with lavender or
black. A soft green pot with cream
colored squares or diamonds is always
pretty. There's no end to the color
combinations you can work out, once
you begin.
II you want a more elaborate pot,
use two coats of shellac. and before
the second one is quite dry blow diff
ferent colored bronze powders onto it.
Put the powder on a small card and
puff it gently onto the pot. Don't
hold it too close or the powder won't
spread. Another idea is to mix the
bronze powder with shellac and paint
the whole pot with 1t. A black
silhouette pasted on a silver bronze
pot, or silhouette painted with gold
or silver bronze and pasted on q black
enameled pot, will be particularly
attractive. You can shellac the black
silhouette to waterproof it.

trees swayed nearly to the ground and
the bowling of the wind was beyond
description.
MY aunt became frightened and
we were summoned from our beds to
the storm cave.
We had scarcely been there an
hour when terrific crash told us that
Ill luck had befallen some one. All
through the night the storm con-
tinued and it was not until the next
afternoon that we dared venture out.
Then what a sight met our eyes!
A huge oak tree had crashed through
the roof of my aunts house and some
of our neighbors suffered equal loss
Some people were none the worse of
for the catastrophe but, anyway, we
thanked our lucky stars that our loss
was not greater than it was"

'Didi Of Siam
Is Celebrity
At allegation
Three.Year.Old-
Has Ability to Make
Friends Here.

CHE'S just years old, but little
Ramadi Rajamaitri, daughter OF
the Minister of Siam and Nine. Raja-
maitri, is something Of celebrity in
the Nations Capital.
Called "Didi" for short, this little
Siamese girl Is as we'll known as any
member of the diplomatic families
which reside in Washington.
Chubby and pretty, she dons pic
turesque frocks to help her mother
entertain at parties given at the lega-
ton, on kalorama road. And, boys and
girls who are shy at meeting strangers
would envy her the ease with which
she greets the many guests who make
1t q point to talk to her as long as
she's around.
Little Didi, who is clever CONVEX
sationalist, speaks two languages
English and her native Siamese.
The fact that she fits in 50 well at
grown-ups' parties, however, does not
mean that Didi is superior about the
things that most 3-year-Old girls en-
Joy,
She loves dolls and she loves pets.
This was noticed by everybody last
week at the big party given Monday at
the Legation in honor of the King Of
Siam, who happens to be a boy just
II years old. The occasion was the
Kings birthday. and the Minister and
Nine. Raiamaitri entertained many
friends to celebrate the event. Didi
was there, dressed in crisp blue Or
CANDY with a ribbon Of the same color
about her hair.
AS she greeted the guests Didi kept
q watchful eye on her doll, which had
been put TO bed on the sofa beside her.
And while the white-and blue
striped Siamese flag, which is centered
with a large white sacred elephant
still floated from the front of the Le-
cation in honor Of the young Kings
birthday, she slipped into the garden
with her nurse, Mani There she put
her doll to bed in a baby carriage and
tucked in one OF her little Maltese
kittens, 'for nap" she said.
Mathilda. the Legation cat, has five
beautiful little Maltese kittens, which
Didi enjoys hauling around. She is
very fond Of all animals, in fact and
wants to bring home all the stray cats
and dogs she sees in the neighborhood.
Didi WAS born at Bangkok, Siam,
but she likes her American home and
celebrates all of the American holi-
days as well as Siamese holidays.

three youngsters decided to produce
Ceres work of art.
The funny thing about the play,
though. was the fact that it turned out
to be good! The capacity audience of
83 persons who attended the perform
ance, given in a basement room, all
agreed on that.
So great a success was their first
venture, in fact. that the young play
ers decided to form a club. Thus be-
gan the Gere Players Stock Company.
1t was called stock company because
all the money taken in was divided
equally among the three members
With the combined talents of the
three members-Gere's writing, the
dramatic ability of Irene King and the
rythmic dancing Of Doris Jean Isa-
bell-the little stock company -four
ished for five years.
THERE were no regular meetings
and no dues. The girls simply held
meeting whenever they were CIV
ing play.
Then, two years ago, there was q
change. Another of Ceres plays,
Sara Lees Adventures" had just
been given to a crowd of more than
200 people, and $14 profit had been
realized
The girls held meeting and de-
cided that something really could be
made of the company. OF course, to
make real dramatic organization CT
their club would take a little time
and effort, but they thought it would
be worth it.
That night saw the end of the stock
company and the beginning Of the
Gere Players Dramatic Club. on
GERS were elected, dues were decided
upon, regular meetings were planned,
and the membership was increased
by the addition Of Marilyn williams
and Anne Mckinley. Anne Is the
makeup expert. She does not ap-
pear in any of the performances.
Her job is to be prompter, announcer
and chairman of the grease paint.
HE club earnings are no longer
divided among the players. In
stead they are kept by the treasurer
and used for the advancement of the
club. Recently a very professional
makeup kit was purchased, so now
the girls feel like seasoned troupers.

Dear Editor:
My most interesting pet is little
turtle. We keep him in a bowl with
a rock and some water. His name is
Popeye, because his eyes seem to pop
out
Every morning feed him ant eggs.
He has been living for three years.
One morning, two Winters ago, I
was going to feed him and he was
frozen fast in the ice. When he was
alternating, he didn't open his eyes.
In the Spring, however, he began eat
ing and moving about.
Then one time at school we had a
pet show to which you brought your
pets. My turtle won a red ribbon,
second prize.
Another thing my turtle can do is
turn somersaults in the water. Pop
eve is interesting to have and watch.
Don't you think so?
