Using Up What Left of the Ham Nav Present Pretty
Child HELPS
Entertain
Visitors
Best to Assign Him
A Definite Part
In Program.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

CHILDREN of the family have a
share in the pleasure of enter
tanning guests. If this is not provided
for in the program the children will
attend to it in their own way. Usually
this takes the form of showing of.
They take the center Of the stage by
standing on their heads, or getting
together in corners and giggling, or
running about, slanlming doors and
making strange noises. 1t is much
better to give them set places in the
program and help them to have their
share Of attention.
1t is sometimes possible to have a
child or two at the door to help re-
ceive the guests. If there are more
than one it is easy to handle more
than one child. too. because there
will be things for them to do They
can take bags. umbrellas, packages
that the guests carry. They can open
doors on the way to the room to be
used.
In the room they can lead the way
to chairs, agreed on before time
They can put the match to the fire, If
there is such luxury in the CRATE
They can bring in tray with water
and glasses, tea, sweets and cakes
After they have done their part they
can be excused to 60 to their own
affairs, to come back later, perhaps,
to serve and enjoy the guests pres
ence in other ways.
The point of the matter is that
children need to have active partici-
patton in entertaining. The shy child
can be carried safely over the hard
places by giving him things to carry
specific bits of service to perform for
the visitors. Children should not be
visitors unless the performance has
been agreed upon and rehearsed ahead
Of time
Visitors do not know what to say
to children. SO they usually begin by
asking them their names. Saying
ones name out loud in public as it
were is as hard for most children as
1t would be for most people to strip
In the public square. 1t is form of
torture that is common and none
the less awful. If the guest is a
stranger he can be introduced. If
he is family acquaintance he knows
the child's name, and there is no sense
In his asking it. Shy children suffer
tortures in anfWering inane questions,
because they are inane and the chill
dren are at loss what to say and
still be polite
Children tire easily under the strain
OF company manners. They should be
released to some activity that will
interest them and keep them out of
the way for while once they have
done their share of entertaining. Tired
children can be very annoying when
there is company. That is the time
the pinching and pulling and gig
Cling begin and the showing of that
annoys mothers so. This is avoided by
the early dismissal of the children.
Only be sure that they are dis
missed to specific place and to
waiting occupation. If they do not
know where to 60 or what to do they
will return like the locusts. This will
take bit of time and thought, but it
will make the visit pleasanter and
send the guests away with high idea
OF the children's good behavior.

means.
The compact is nicely designed,
with gold-flnished case, carries loose

WOULDN'T it be nice if you could
step into your favorite flower shop
and walk right out trailing the min
gled fragrance Of your favorite flowers
for the rest of the day? It's just as
easy as that with the new bouquet CO.
lognes. which are full of the essence OF
freshly plucked, sweet-smelling fow-
ers.
The gardens of three nations-Eng-
land, France and America-have in
spired these colognes and suggested
the idea to the woman who created
them during her travels in many lands.
There's the American bouquet. haunt
ing as an April moment in Williams
burg's gardens. The English bouquet
is as clean and spicy as Whit from
Ann Hathaway's home. The sophis-
ticated, rich scent of Versailles formal
gardens is the mood of the French
bouquet
These three colognes come in tall.
wasp-waisted fiacons easy to grasp and
inexpensive enough to warrant lavish
use as the warm days approach. 1t is
suggested that these colognes be used
on your boutonnieres and for the flow-
ers on your hat as well as on the body
on kerchief and as cool pickup on
wrists. neck and forehead. They are
wonderfully refreshing. College girls
are using cologne to keep waves and
curls In place. So here Is another use
for these lovely garden bouquets that
are typically spring and genuinely sat-

WE HAVE not as yet told you about
the Derby red makeup. II
is completely new and as exciting as
its name implies. Lipstick and rouge
are of an almost perfect red that has
richness and depth. 1t is a color that
is quite universally becoming to blond
or brunette. teen age or matron. It
is equally good in day or artificial
light and looks well with most colors.
Powder and foundation used for best
results with this color are both soft
in shade but rich in color. to give the
skin cameolike appearance SO much
in vogue at the moment.

The Old Gardener Soys:

Garden makers who wish to
increase their stock of shrubs
will find the layering method
very simple. 1t is particularly
satisfactory with those kinds
which have dropping branches,
like the honeysuckles, snowballs
and some of the. bush roses. The
tip OF the branch is to be bent
down and entirely covered with
soil or else partially covered be-
tween the end of the branch and
the parent plant. A slight notch
in the under part Of the branch
may be needed if the wood is very
hard. Roots will start out after a
time, and when they have made
sufficient growth the new plant
may be severed from the parent
and set out wherever the garden
maker wishes to have it located
The fragrant little Daphne one
Drum may be propagaated very
readily in this way and is choice
subject for the rock garden.

more than $40 week? That the tired
business man needs diversion after his
hard day at the Office or factory, but
that the tired business woman can
get all the change and amusement she
needs by doing the housework when she
gets home after pounding a typewriter
or standing behind counter for eight
hours? That all the responsibility for
making a happy home rests with the
wife, and that she should make things
gay and lively and keep on smiling,
even when the husband is a crouch,
who dumps all the nerves and temper
and irritability he dare not show the
balance Of the world on his own
family?
That wives are to blame for the high
cost Of living and should be miracle
workers who can run a house without
running up bills and conjure good
meals out of the air? That wives
should keep themselves beautiful and
glamorous and work like coalheavers
to hold their husbands love, but it
isn't necessary for a husband to do
anything to hold his wife's love? He
can't lose it.
That wives should forgive their hus-
bands side-stepping and welcome them
back with songs of JOY when they re-
turn home after their little excursions
down the primrose path. but that a
man Is justified in dragging his wife
into the divorce court if she even in
dulges in mild Irritation?
That all the amusement that any
woman desires is staying at home with
the children, though on Sunday after
moons taking care of little Johnny re-
duces them to nervous wrecks? Funny,
isn't 1t, what men think about women?
YEAR MISS DIX-What do you
think of an elderly widow and
widower getting married? They are
both lonely and are thinking of merg-
ing their interests and setting up a
home for both. but they are wonder
ing what their children and the public
will say. What do you say? x.
Answer-I say it is fine idea and
for them not to bother about what the
public or their children will say.

its. During the many years he was
connected with the gas companies,
he made many friends, whose SYM
pathy went out to him, in his
months of suffering.
On May 26, 1O9, he was united

The large bank barn of Ogle
Tompkins, on Bailey's ridge, was
consumed by fire Wednesday night
Mr.. Tompkins was at the barn about
s o'clock, doing the feeding, and
had put a lighted lantern on a plat
form, and went to throw down hay.
