Initiatory ceremonies were held Monday by the Eastern Star In which Mr. and Mrs. Nels Stensland were made members of the Order. Following adjournment of the chap ter refreshments were served at a long table set up in the lodge room.
 Table appointments were in the St Patrick Day motif The table was centered by a floral bouquet in a green bowl flanked by green crystal candlelabra and candles. Large shamrocks were spread the length of the table. The hostesses, Mrs. Henry Wells, Mrs. Fykerude and Mrs. F. Angerman, served a sal- ad plate in which fruit and lime jello had been combined in star molds.
 The flower bowl, shaped like a Paddy plug hat, which aroused much admiring comment was ingen- iously fashioned, 1t was later re- vealed from a gallon tin can. slashed in several places about three inches down from the top, the slashed DOT tion3 bent back and shaped for the hat brim then covered with green crepe paper.

Mrs Vernon Myers entertained Wednesday at a very enjoyable three table bridge luncheon at her home on the bluffs of North Ad- dition.
 The luncheon was served at tables placed in the living room from which the windows on three sides of the spacious room afford beauti- full view embracing in it's wide sweep of the harbor, north almost to the mouth of the Stikine, the Elephants Nose and down Chicha- golf Pass with all the intervening islands.
 The affair was held in honor of Mrs Charles De Remer who is leaY- ing shortly after the first of April. at which time MT. De Remer, in charge for the past four years of the local signal corps radio station, is being transferred to Seattle, and, it is believed probable from there to Honolulu.
 For her table appointments Mrs. Myers devised Alaska, Hawaii and Salt Lake City settings. The Alas kan table was centered with a min iature Eskimo scene, complete with ice igloo, driver and dogs in fossil ivory. Score cards and pads were hand made with dog team and driver in silhouette on an orange back ground.

There Is No Compensation
For an Unhappy Youth
By DOROTHY DIX.

In recent magazine article a
father tells how he tried to prepare
his daughter for life by treating her
with almost inhuman cruelty. He
urges other parents to use this same
harsh method in bringing up their
children so that they may be hard
ened to meet whatever misfortunes
may befall them.
He says that his child was left
motherless when quite young, but
instead of showing tenderness and
pity to the poor little creature, he
never caressed her, or petted her, or
said any word of affection to her.
Instead, he was deliberately neglect
full of her and Indifferent to her.
He never praised her, but was quick
to blame. Her only reward for good
work was being told that it should
have been better.
Although the father was well-to-
do, the child was never given a
penny that she did not earn. She
was never given any Of the treats
that other children have. She even
had to stand by looking on hungrily
and wistfully while other youngsters
licked their ice cream cones. She
was always the shabbiest and most
poorly dressed Of any little girl in
school.
The fathers excuse for thus will
fully depriving his daughter of ev-
erything that makes childhood sweet

and I decided must be right, be-
cause we liked it best-its appeal
to our sense of blood and thunder
was tremendous!-was one offered
by a Mr.. Kercheval, who main
tanned that in the old days, after
the apparent beginning of winter,
the weather would become warm,
and the smoky period commence.
This afforded the Indians, who
rarely made incursions into the
settlements during the really cold
months, another opportunity Of
visiting them with their bloodshed
and horror. When the early SHOWS
began to melt, and the insidious
warmth crept in. every one felt
chilled with horror. The apprehen-
sion of another visit from the In
dians, and of being driven back
to the deserted fort, was painful
in the highest degree"
One gets mental picture, upon
laying the book down, of those in
trepid little bands of pioneers, gaz-
ing upon the same kind of skies
as we have been doing lately, feel
ing the same warm sunshine on
their backs-and preparing desper-
ately for possible massacre at any
moment. And they were the ones
who finally made it possible for us
to walk with peaceful enjoyment
and fearless delight through the
halcyon days of our Indian sum-
mer!
Evening star., 1938-11-09

and beautiful was that he was "fit-
ting her for life" Life Is not soft
padded for any of us after we leave
the nursery and there is no one to
kiss our bruises and make them
we'll or provide us with lollipops and
pink hair ribbons. His idea is that
the child who has never known any
thing but brutality will not mind
being kicked about when it is grown.
That those who have never known
love and tenderness and beauty and
softness will be so callous that they
will not crave them.
But in this theory he goes against
all the laws of God and Nature. For
If the Great Creator of the universe
put ugliness and hardness into the
world, He also put gentleness and
beauty. If He sends the rain, He
sends also the glorious sunshine. Also
He put into the heart of man that
which makes him desire most the
things that have been withheld from
him. No man is SO hungry for love
as the one who has been starved
for affection. No one so avid for
pleasure as the one who has been
denied them in youth. Any father
befools himself who thinks that he
can take away girls desire for
good times and pretty things by
never permitting her to have them.
Moreover, in all sober truth, it Is
doubtful if there is anything that
life can ever give us afterward that
can compensate us for an unloved
and lonely and unhappy childhood.
When we are men and women we
have the strength to stand alone.
We have acquired philosophy that
Is an armor against the sings and
arrows of fate. But when we are
little children we are so helpless, SO
dependent upon our parents for
every good and every happiness that
can come to us. If we never know
the softness Of mothers breast and
the comforting shelter of a fathers
arms, we are poor indeed, no mat
ter how many times we are million
aires.

Manners
of the
Moment

There's something about talcum
powder scattered over a bathroom
floor that brings fire into the eyes
of the man of the house. He doesn t
mind talcum powder when his
womenfolk keep it to themselves
But he doesn't see why he should
be expected to get messed up in it.
And to tell you the truth, I can
see his point. I can't say enjoy
walking into another persons tale
leavings. 1t makes me feel as though
I had been reading her mail.
So, what's to be done? Shall we
isolate all tale spillers? It would be
awfully nice if we could give them
all private bathrooms. Or maybe
the anti-talc spillers should have
the private baths. But then, that's
too nice to be possible.
The only other thing to do Is to
present each tale spiller with a spe-
cial dustcloth and insist that she
wipe up her own talcum spill-over
before she leaves the bathroom to
its other users. If she is rebellious
then swipe her box of talcum pow
der until she comes crawling. What
she needs Is discipline. JEAN.

Cleanliness
Needed by
Children
A Lot of Teaching
Needed Before It
Will Be aHabit
By ANGELO PATRI.

Children of school age ought to
be especially careful about washing
their hands, brushing their hair
and teeth. School is place of many
meetings. Child meets children,
germs meet more germs. Soap and
water and plenty of them after
every session should be used with
right good will if the children are
to keep we'll.
Why don't they attend to this
without constant prodding? Be-
cause they are the sons and daugh-
ters of their parents. Who likes
to keep washing and brushing and
wiping the basin out clean? In the
morning routine habit, forced by
public opinion, carries us through
the morning toilet, but when, during
the day, another doing is needed
the bathroom is miles away, those
stairs break ones back, the water
isn't warm enough, and anyway,
we'll wait until just before meal
time. And we have been at 1t for
lifetime. We're just naturally un-
fussy.
Children are natural, too, and they
are deeply interested in so many
things-meals. play, the coming
circus, their turn at the bat-that
washing hands and brushing teeth
have to be showed in between with
sturdy force behind them. There
are ways of tightening the burden
of supervision. Suggestion is a
great help. If instead of having
to go upstairs to the bathroom,
there was close-by and handy
place in the garage, on the back
porch, on the.f1rst floor right by the
door, it would help. And it would
save the family bathroom, too.
Schools are lacking in this es-
sential part Of equipment. Wash
rooms are provided for the teachers
always, but for the children, rarely.
The teachers are put to it to get
clean work from them. How can
a child work on a sheet of white
paper with hands that are grimy?
Writing is not easy for the younger
ones. Their hands perspire; they
become muddy, are wiped on hair
or pants or apron, and the results
are something that would shock
the hygienists. Yet the school must
guard its children's health, and the
teacher must present clean work
to the supervisor.
There is plenty Of water in the
world, and some soap. Paper towels
are not prohibitive. The greatest
cost is building the rooms and
manning them. Measured against
the children's present discomfort
and the threat to their health, Isn't

portrait doll.
The doll, owned by Mrs. Frank
B. Noyes, is masterpiece of per-
fection. It has been copied from
q LIE Brun portrait of the Queen by
Dorothy Heiser, the brilliant and
well-known portrait modelling ex-
pert, who has dressed 1t in the
authentic style Of the French Queens
era.
Important is the fact that the
costume is composed of pieces of
clothing actually worn by Marie
Antoinette. and the story of these
fabrics is little drama in itself.
1t seems that Miss Colleen Moore
of film fame became interested in
Mrs. Moves collection of dolls, and
offered her these pieces OF material
in order to have the doll dressed
automatically. Miss Moore received
them from a direct descendant OF
a lady in waiting to the Queen be-
fore her imprisonment. Thus, for
wears the fabrics-for the most part
sleeves of her gowns-have been
treasured, and finally put to use
In the most romantic and beautiful
manner possible. Exquisite portions
of the Inflated rulers clothing now

I thought perhaps it might amuse
you, too.
The books say that the beautiful
but short season seen in the latter
part of the autumn, and called by
Americans Indian summer" is far
from unknown in many other parts
of the world. In fact, for centuries
1t has been remarked in various
countries, and frequently compared
to the "halcyon period" of the
Greeks, SO that it was natural for
Shakespeare to say, in Henry the
Sixth"-"Expect St. Martins sum-
mer, halcyon days"
In England the season derives its
name from st. Martins or Martini
mas, summer from the fact that as a
rule it. commenced there about No
vember II, st. Martins Day. In
France 1t was called summer close" ,"
and 'L'ete de St. Martin"-having
an uncomplimentary double mean
ing whereby the term was applied to
elderly ladies. In Germany the
season was similarly called "die alte
Weibersommer" In Chile, st. John S
summer, just to be different!
I'm the United States the books
60 on to say, "the period of 'halcyon
days usually begins in November,
although due to climatic situations
1t may vary as much as month. 1t
is characterized by fair, but not
too brilliant weather; the air is still
and moist, and the sun shines softly
with a dim golden or copper light.
1t is period when nature pauses
before her final sleep; when drow-
silly. like child, she smiles sweetly
and softly on those about her"
Pretty poetic-but not so far from
the true picture at that!
AS to why here in America the
season won the title of Indian sum-
mer-which started all this-here
are the stories as found them:
One source derives it from the
fact that the Indians were particu-
larly fond of the period, believing
that 1t was special gift from their
favorite god. he of the Southwest,
who sent them the soft south winds,
and in whose domain their happy
hunting grounds lay.
Daniel Webster says that the early
settlers in America gave the name
to the season because they believed
that its warmth and haze were
caused by the Indians burning
brush on the prairies.
But the explanation that my son

is low cut and edged with the lace
which also belonged to Marie
Antoinette-as are the elbow-length
| sleeves and bouffant overskirt. The
latter, a continuation of the bodice,
meets at the tiny waist and falls
away to form a hustle effect and
to reveal the lovely blue striped
satin skirt in front. The skirt is
embroidered in the daintiest needle
work, and the bodice, sleeves and
overskirt are made of rich, cream
colored brocaded satin with tiny
bouquets of hand embroidered
flowers. Accessories take the form
of plum-colored velvet chapeau
with plumes and large bow at
the back; slippers of the same shade
with enormous buckles and necklace,
bracelets and rings which accurately
resemble the jewels worn by this
Queen. In her hand the doll holds
a rose tied with ribbon. The hair
is blonde poudre" Enormous and
elaborate white wigs were worn only
at state functions.

This doll, especially distinctive
because of the fabrics which con-
stitute her costume, is separated
from the queens of history In Mrs.
Noyes' collection due to her height
of 20 inches. The other miniature
rulers, also made by Mrs. Heiser,
measure IA inches and are por-
traits of Elizabeth of England,
Mary, Queen of Scots. and many
others. However. despite their per-
feet reproduction, they do not lay
claim to the distinction of being
garbed in fabrics actually worn by
the character they represent.
Down to the smallest detail this
portrait of Marie Antoinette is per-
feet. Even the luxurious under
things are designed and made in
the trend of fashion of this period,
and the entire effect of this cos
tune is one of realism and beauty.
Portraits of the famous queen re-
veal her appearance to be the same
as that of the dolls, and in every
conceivable manner the conception
is faithful to the original.
So lifelike is the figure that it
almost seems as though a living,
breathing queen is before us in all
her regal splendor. More than 200
years have passed since the reign
of this monarch, yet today we may
marvel at the lavish glory of her era.
Out of the past has come inspira-
ton for the beauty of the present.
