and flattering, with some round
types now being shown. Draping
and bodice fullness is a nice, decep-
tive touch, the fullness usually
emerging into a slight point to in
dicate a slenderizing v line. Hip
lines are often softly nodded and
may go into stitched pleats Skirts
may have curved tiers to hide fig
ure faults. Bracelet or "push-up"
sleeves are good; jackets very inn
portant when trimmed with sequins
and a dash of color.
Chatting with some Of the buyers
around town we found that the
larger woman is buying more dis
tinctive clothes, even if she has to
pay more money for them. OF
course, there are still plenty of in
expensive dresses to be had, but we
have always maintained that in
vesting a slightly larger sum pays
dividends of compliments and ad-
miration-to say nothing of self
confidence.

There's something Edwardian and
elegant about its prim little yoke,
scalloped peplum effect, and fullness
clustered at the front of the skirt.
Such fullness sways and ripples
gracefully as you walk, but keeps
the line prevailingly straight, and
that's the smartest kind of fullness.

"Georgette is on the board for
bad, Georgette is on the board for
bad" chanted the gay little rascals
who had long envied Georgette's
high place in the teachers favor.
Here is what happened to put the
honor child's name on the board
'for bad"
The teacher, in an effort to keep
parents Informed of their children's S
progress, sent home reports of their
work. This time it was a test paper
in spelling and dictation. Georgette
had her usual 100 per cent and took
her paper home to be signed. Mother
was very busy packing fathers bags
for his long trip of the year and
packed the test paper along with
his books and papers. Next morning
when that paper should have been
on the teachers desk. signed by
mother or father. it was lying in
fathers bag, being carried across
the country.
Now Miss Carey had made a rule
that all reports must be brought in
promptly, signed properly, or the
defaulter's name must stand on the
blackboard, as reminder, until the
report was returned She had to
post Georgette's name. You can
easily understand why.
But no explanation could console
Georgette. She went home in
Mysteries and refused to go back
to school. And she continued to
refuse in spite of all her mother
and teacher could say, so her mother
entered her in q private school. Her
fear and dread of school continues
and her mother is worried almost
into state of distraction How can
this child's fear of school and the
teacher be lifted?
She should have been sent back
the same day she cried to leave
Don't wait. Tears or no tears,
back that child should CO. This
little girl, and all those like her,
boys included, believed herself to
be perfect, and beyond the reach
of everyday troubles. Because of
her successes, she had held her
self above her playmates. The first
threat to her prestige sent her home
in a panic. The only thing to do
was to tell her that it couldn't be
helped. She had to take the same
medicine that was dealt out to her
companions. no matter what her
outraged sense of perfection said to
the contrary.
Life is like that, even worse. One
could have told this child that she
was not to blame, that her name
could come off the board because
an explanation had come from home,
and one could have assured her that
nothing had happened to her. Insist
that nothing had happened that
was at all important, and act that
way.
Once a child like this is allowed
to brood on a feeling of outrage,
or failure, or disgrace, it is very
difficult to shake off that feeling.
They cling to the distinction of grief
to compensate for the loss of their
prestige. Calmly, strongly, sternly
if need be, take this screen away
and send them back to take up
their lives where they broke off.
1t is necessary to train children
to take the disappointments and
injuries and griefs of life as they
come and rise above them. 1t is
fatal to let them cling to them as
supports for their wounded vanity.

can be done to best advantage on
Halloween, entertainment for the
occasion is woven around matters OF
fate.
Nuts and apples, which are so
plentiful at this time, are the
guardians of the most enhancing
secrets. They be made the basis OF
many games that are simply ar
ranged and as much fun to play
solitaire as in company. Any one
who is not invited out for the eve
ming has no need to forego that
tempting of fortune that makes for
so much jollity at Halloween parties.
A group of guests may be started
of hunting blindfold for nuts and
apples that have been hidden In
various parts OF room. He or she
who finds the most is the prize win
ner. The riddle of the future may
then be wrested in different ways
from these fruits.
When cut open. the apples will
reveal a number of seeds, with vary
ing meanings. If there are only
two they indicate an early mar
riage. three promise small legacy,
four genuine wealth, five boat trip,
six fame as a singer or public speak
er, while seven-said to be the
magic number-represents the full
fillment of practically any wish!
The possibilities Of this apple seed
charm are many. She Cor he. for

should name two apple pips and
stick them on the forehead. The
one that stays on longer is, Of course,
the true love.
To find the answer to more
prosaic question name two apple
seeds "home" and travel re-
spectively and stick one this time
on each eyelid. If it Is travel
that stays on longer that means a
journey before the year is out.
Again, the number Of letters that
will come in the next two weeks may

loosely with the right fist. If only
some of the seeds fall of the num-
ber remaining represents the letters
that will be received.
Another experiment may be made
by peeling an apple, without break
ing the skin, if possible. Then let
the pairing drop to the floor and
it will form the initial Of the future
mates name.
The true love" test may also
be worked with nuts. A sweetheart's
name is given each of two nuts,
placed near the fire. If one bursts
beware of unfaithfulness, while the
nut that burns with steady glow
stands for the true love. They may,
however, both burn, in which case
two suitors are disputing the field.

and at the same time you may see
IN the exhibit the proper routine for
the correct method and understand
why it does not pay to cut corners
to save expense, when the full in
vestment will give bonded satisfac-
tion for many years.
New coves and borders have been
manufactured which round and seal
the base, ceiling and corners of the
room so that cleaning is made very
much easier and all moisture is pre-
vented from working back against
the undersurface. Specifications for
preparation of the walls for the use
Of linoleum are quite different than
for other surfaces. Corners and
edges are rounded SO that there are
no sharp edges to clean or break.
Plans and designs are worked out
in blueprint form for the decora-
ton of your floors just as they would
be in mosaic or other valuable ma
terial. Borders, panels, inlay and
decorative detail are planned down
to fine point, so that there is no
guesswork attached to the project.
With this precision and complete
lack of expensive mistakes has come
a reduction in price which makes
linoleum available to the limited
budget.
At the present time inlay is cut
by machine, stamped out with great
precision and speed, so that inlaying
your floor means merely the laying
of the background, with the design
cut out, and then filling up the
holes with the design of another
color, which is very little more diff
f1cult than putting the last few
pieces in a picture puzzle that you
have worked several times before.
There are many tricks to the trade
also-such as the use of color and
design to accent the plan of a room.
A long narrow hall may be made to
appear wider by the use of light
walls over a dark floor with inter-
esting inlaid details. A circular
stair hall may accent its plan by
circular pattern with round border
at the entrance.
A delightful playroom for two
small boys who were at the age

noted at recent fashion displays.
Outstanding were certain details
and features that are influencing
the sale of women's clothes this
year. For example, there is more
lavish use of color-and we mean
bright color. 1t is cleverly used for
accent, as a rule, and in this way
can get away from perpetual black,
or gray or navy. Simple black
frocks have richly embroidered Zip
stick red" jackets, always designed
so that the jacket does not "cut of"
a heavy figure. Color is also used
cleverly on sleeves, an idea which
adds dash to the dress with no
danger of adding poundage. There's
one particularly good daytime style
whose bracelet-length sleeves have
a wide appliqued edging of pastel
tones and which has been a big
seller.
Color in evening clothes is also
prominent, and one of the most
original dresses seen is a gown de-
signed for the Mrs. Winfrey" group
This lady, fictitious as Yehudi, is
named to represent the average
woman, and the clothes in this COL
lection are ideally selected and ap-
propriate models. Mrs. Winfrey's
best dinner gown is a black crepe
with aqua pleated jersey top and
a panel of aqua fringe reaching
from the jeweled belt ornament to
hemline It's really stunning and
also very f1attering with lipstick
red accents instead of aqua. Eve
ming dresses of pure dye silk are
in evidence. and fringe is used pro-
fusely as trimming. for it lends a
sleek, slenderizing appearance. Mo-
rocco or fawn gray are good shades
in dinner clothes of the conserva-
| tive type and there is also model
in plum -colored crepe with light
blue woolen jacket that is excellent.

dinner-type clothes are often done
with sequin trim and there is en-
phasis on sequins in daytime models
as we'll. Soft repousse lace bodice

smart-looking dinner gown and
there is even a modified "peeka-

was inlaid in bright red on a warm
gray floor with a border of a narrow
band of red and a black cove.
Waxed, it shed dust very easily and
resisted wear and tear and scuff1ng
to a phenomenal degree. Game
boards inlaid into the floor is a
clever and useful way Of treating
the gameroom floors. The same
games that make a cruise on a ship
such fun may be played on the
floor of your own recreation room
on polished inlaid linoleum sur
face.
Kitchens, baths and nurseries,
where all surfaces must be spot
lessly clean may be kept that way
when walls, counter surfaces, draw
ers, cabinets and floors are covered
in linoleum. The material used on
walls and furniture Is thinner than
that used on floors, but is made to
correspond in color and texture with
it. Marbleized and mottled patterns
are made much more forceful with
a deep-toned border and inlay. A
room that is difficult in shape and
size may be decorated with telling
effect by the use of design to break
the floor surface into pattern.
One of the best uses of linoleum is
as background for fine rugs. The
smooth, clean surface makes solid
bed for good rugs, border around
them enhances their color-and in
the spring when carpets must 60 to
storage the floors are ideally cool and
decorative for summer. Linoleum
floors and walls may be toned to
form a perfect background for the
new painted furniture or the blond
and bleached woods that are so fash
ionable just now. They are resilient,
quiet and make kitchen work easier
and noise from the playroom much
less, which are all noteworthy items
from the woman's angle.
When you are planning your new
house or remodeling the existing
one remember that there is no up
keep on a properly installed lin
oleum interior, and that its daily
care is minimum. If you have never
considered linoleum in the light of
a modern improvement the Modes
and Methods Show this week will
be of interest to you with all its new
ideas for the use of color and tex
ture on walls and floors.

Tax Conference

Senator Ed Bohlinger, Supervisor
R. T. Frazier, Louis Escalada and
George Bercich, Assessor R. H.
Fleischcr, William Simonton, Clerk
of the Board of Supervisors, and
Phil Capin have returned from
Prescott where they attended the
annual state tax conference.
The conference went on record as
favoring restoration of a S., ,820 900
slash in property evaluations made
by Pima county officials.
Despite arguments by Pima coun-
ty spokesmen that the slash in
evaluations was made only to bring
the county's evaluation in line with
that of the rest Of the state, repre-
sentatives of the 13 other counties
voted that Pima must restore valua-
tions to the previous level.
Gov. R. T. Jones, who addressed
the meeting held at Prescott last
week, lauded state and county Of
ficials for bringing the 1910 tax rate
down to tentative figure of 81
cents from the previous 1899 record
high of $1.25. Jones warned, how
ever, that taxes could not be cut
if sectional interests clamored for
larger and larger appropriations.
