and design of one she can use
pretty well in mind so that she
will be able to recognize whether

knows that good ones, large size,
well designed and partially filled

selecting it for her own home.
She doesn't take a chance Of
selecting such an article as a

knows exactly what her friend
would like and where she would
use it.
Penny also figures on the
amount and cost of the wool

time it will take. She selects her
art needlework carefully as to
total cost, design and ultimate

YOU'LL have to hurry Betty

alone making several Of them.
It doesn't look like much work Is
left to be done but that is where
the inexperienced are fooled.
The cheaper the pattern the less
of the work is completed. Also
the cheaper the pattern, on the
whole, the poorer the design.
Perhaps it looks gay on first
glance but on more close inspec-
ton it is scraggly, disorganized.
patchy or meaningless. Also. the
cheap patterns are likely to be
so small they are useless except
for stools or chairs that are
made to order or they happen to
fit. Betty puts the price OF
$1.00 as the limit. .-,,'...
When she buys the woods. to

Don't Be Mailed
BY Appeor0nces

For, given one attractive
young Russian with a flair for
clothes, one mother trying to
make sense out of youthful
exuberance, one bevy Of beauti.
full buds, addicted to giggling,
and the result is apt to look
pretty chaotic.
It only looks that way, how.
ever, for the exquisite creations
which evolve in spite Of all this
levity and goings-on are divine
beyond description, as testified
in the accompanying photo
graphs shown today on this
page.
While a large percentage Of
the attraction is no doubt lent
by the presence Of the popular
young sons, for Igor, the Petit
Point columnist, sometimes
joins the fun too, yet there is .
definite glamour for a debutante
in having her clothes fashioned
by a real countess, whose own
debut was repeated, how many
years ago, in every dazzling
court in Europe.

her because she looks capable.
Assure yourself that she IS tne
kind of person to whom you
want to intrust your child;
Then when you have Satls1leo
Yourself that she is a good type,
have her examined by your
family doctor. See that ne
gives her a blood test. I say
this because I have known girls
who actually have taught babes
bad habits Just to keep them
quiet.
Another bad custom many
parents have Is that OF picking
the baby I'D every time it cries.
They argue that if he or she
cries, ther must be something
wrong. But babies like atten-
ton Just the same as groWn-ups.
They can't talk, so they attract
attention to themselves by cry
ing. If it works, they try it
again, and after a few success
full "crys" they have learned a
very bad habit; one which WILL
take a great deal Of trouble TO
break.

For several seasons. are no
