the edge. Many times the thought
which goes into the curtains that are
handmade at home produces a WIN
dow that is far more attractive than
anything that could be bought in the
shops for many times the price. The
only way to achieve distinction in
your house is to think up something
little better than every one else
has done-or pay some one to think
for you. No one is better able to
qualify than you-as you are with the
problem all of the time Try to
study each side Of your room as
though you were going to paint pic
ture Of it. Each angle of it must be
picture in itself and part OF the
whole composition. One thing should
not overpower all the others, but each
small group should contribute some
thing to the charm Of the whole room.
We all spend much more time in the
house in the Winter. Bed rooms
should be rearranged so that windows
may be opened with comfort and your
favorite reading or sewing chair close
to the radiator or fire so that you will
not have to move it each time you

BY EMILY POST.

nEAR MRS. POST: The fact that
my fiance has stepmother
complicates our wedding arrange
ments. 1t has nothing to do with his
feeling for her, but he has an aunt
who brought him up after his own
mother died years ago, and he naturally
thinks of her as his mother. The
same feeling exists between his uncle
and himself, although he is also fond
of his father. Which ones are given
first consideration at the church and
at the reception and what can be done
to show a little more regard than
ordinary guests for the other two?
Answer-Under these particular
circumstances, think his aunt should
be given the right to sit in the aisle
sat in the first pew and the uncle
next to her. His father would sit
In the aisle seat in the second pew
and his wife next to him. If any one
is to receive at the reception, his aunt

this honor, too. Or If the brides
mother receives alone, then the aunt
and uncle would stand either halfway
between the door where the brides
mother stands and the bridal group
or else just beyond the bridal group.
The grooms father and stepmother
would stand in whichever Of these two
positions the aunt and uncle left

Danger of
Accidental
Poisoning
Teach Children Not
to Taste Strange
Medicines.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

AN ACCIDENT is something that
nobody expected to happen. Chill
dren are bound to have their share of
them because of their ignorance and
inexperience We have to be on
guard to protect them at every hazard
Gus point and even then they get into
trouble. But there is one field of
danger that we must doubly guard
against and that is the accidental
poisoning of children, who find bottles
or boxes containing poisons and sample
them.
OF course, all such things ought
to be kept under lock and key,
well out of reach. 1t is not enough
to put dangerous things on high
shelves because that only temptS chill
dren to climb up for them. Nor is it
enough to put them in the medicine
closet and say, Don't touch The
thing to do is to make it impossible
to touch" Lock the things away and
put the key where they know nothing
about 1t.
1t is just as well to make no point
about touching these dangerous things
When we call attention to forbidden
things we increase childish interest
In them. The less said about pro-
hibited things the better. Keep them
out of sight and they are more likely
to be out of mind.
Children are not likely to hunt for
polsons. What brings about the acci-
dents is some grown-up persons
forgetfulness. Somebody uses iodine
and sets it on the table Somebody
uses solution of strong lye and leaves
it on the shelf. Somebody forgets a
bottle Of sleeping tablets and the baby
finds them.
Whenever one has to keep dangerous
drugs, or chemicals, or other things
dangerous to swallow one should have
the correct antidote clearly printed
and posted on the cabinet door. In
the time of fright one forgets all he
knows and the printed directions are
necessary. Keep them on the cabinet
door close to where the poisons are
II anything dangerous is on the
kitchen shelves, and must stay there,
which is bad, post the antidote close
by. Post also, in close proximity to
the medical cabinet the telephone call
Of the family physician, or the hos
pital, and that of the nearest friend.
If you think this is fussy just remem-
Der that fright wipes out even accus-
toned ways and puts brake on the
intelligence of the brightest
When an accident happens try to get
immediate help. Use the antidote
while some one calls the doctor or the
hospital. If you are alone with the
child help him as best you can and call
for help at the first possible moment.
Don't try to struggle along alone If
there is any help to be had. A
cool head is needed and that is easier
for stranger to maintain than for a
member of the family.
Teach children not to put things in
their mouths, not to taste medicine,
not to eat things that look like candy
should they show any such tendencies.
Keep poisons in unusual bottles. It
Is good practice to tie little bells
about the necks of these unusual
bottles, so that you may be warned
against taking them by mistake in the
night. An accident is something no.
body expected to happen but we can
lessen the expectancy still further by

n EAR DOROTHY DIX: l am
girl Of 20, going to be
married. My father died
- when I was a baby and I
have been brought up in house in
which there were only women, SO
don't know much about the habits
and ways of men. and what they like
and dislike. Will you please give me
few suggestions about how to please
my husband. ALICE.
Answer-Well, learn how to cook
before you are married. Don't wait
to experiment on your husband. II
you do, by the time you have learned
how to make biscuits that are not a
menace to life, you will have given
him such a case of dyspepsia that he
will be crab as long as he lives.
We are always talking about women
marrying to get home, but men
marry for home oftener than girls
do. Every mans dream is of coming
home at night to tidy home where
there is smiling wife waiting to greet
him and good dinner of the things
he likes best smoking on the table.
Make that dream come true for your
husband and you will never have to
worry about the other woman.
MAKE your husbands friends well
come. Give them the glad hand
instead of the cold shoulder. Let the
boys come and play poker and fix
them up a tasty snack and you will
keep your husband nailed to his own
fireplace instead of spending his eve
nings elsewhere.
Remember that your husband spends
his days in close association with
snappy business girls who are dolled
up to the minute and who have red
fingernails and fresh finger waves.
Meet the competition. Don't think
you can 60 carelessly dressed because
you are married. 1t is 10 times more
important to be easy on your husband s
eyes than 1t was when he was just
the boy friend.
Keep your house neat, but don't be
30 orderly that you make 1t as un-
comfortable rs q sanitary ward in a
hospital. Men like to throw news
papers and ashes on the floor and to
scatter their clothes around and they
get sacred Joy out Of leaving a
bath room looking as If a hurricane
had passed through it. Great is the
reward Of wife who picks up after
her husband and says nothing. He
thinks that she is comfortable and
easy to get along with and no siren can
vamp him away from her.
Don't talk too much about your
household tribulations. Don't tell
your husband every time meat goes up,
or the children are naughty, or the
vacuum cleaner jams. Face your own
WORRIES and prohlefns and settle than.
Hs has troubiss enough Of his own

The Old Gardener Saws:

Grapes require protection, as
they are preyed upon by birds
and insects. Garden makers who
wish to obtain extra fine punches
bag them. Bags made of burlap
can be purchased, and probably
are the most satisfactory, al
though ordinary paper bags from
the stores may be employed with
success. They are to be drawn
over the punches and tied around
the stems, not too tightly, but
still without leaving an opening
for insects to enter. Bees have
often been charged with damag-
ing grapes, but this is a libel on
these insects. They are not
physically capable OF puncturing
a grape skin. But when they find
grapes which have been pecked
into by birds, they are likely to
take toll of the exuding juices.

But if the invitations go out in the
