The gentleman who likes ID
smoke, but is little lazy about
keeping his pipes sweetened, should
have one of the new pipes with a
wooden bowl mounted on a metal
stem. This not only gives a cool
smoke, but never gets strong or
sour. The same firm puts out a
cigarette holder made of metal that
works on the same principle as the
pipe. >.
One of the smartest hors d'oeuvre
trays seen in some time is fash
ioned of lined glass and shiny
chromium. The center part, which
is the tray, has guard rails so that
glasses won't slip of. On either
side are two box-like compartments
for little tid-bits. These tid-bits
will remain fresh for some time as
there is a glass cover that swings
open and shut on chromium
hinges :.
Hand-painted wooden cleansing
tissue boxes are new and very nice
for the girl who is on q budget
where every penny counts. She
should also treat herself to a large
jar Of bath salts, for long after the
salts have disappeared the lovely
bottle can be used for many things.
As matter of fact, the jar looks
very much like the bay rum de-
canter that grandfather kept on his
dresser and that was used daily to
complete his toilet 80.
A new gadget for the lapel that ID

When spraying trees and
shrubs choose day in the win
ter time when the temperature
gets up to IS or so degrees and
has little chance Of dropping to
below freezing for at least 10 or
IL hours after the spray has
been applied.
Brush the tops Of unbaked
cookies with slightly beaten egg
whites mixed with a little cold
water. Added decorations will
then stick when the cookies are
baked. The cookies also will
have a glaze that looks quite
professional.
Broil peach halves until they
are brown. Stuff the centers
with brown sugar, cinnamon,
crushed pineapple and lemon
juice. Broil two more minutes
to blend the flavors. Serve hot
with broiled chops, creamed
chicken or hsh.
Candlewick spreads should be
washed in plenty of hot water
and soap suds. They should then
be rinsed several times in clear,
warm water and hung up in the
shade to dry. When they are
perfectly dry they should be
placed, tufted side down, in a
cotton blanket and pressed
gently with a warm iron.

are guilty OF Cne Charges uSIeQ.
Here it is:
Dear Madam:
"To start the new year right, will
you be kind enough to write little
article on some resolutions that our
men here in Washington might
make? You see, coming from an
other State, I just can't get used to
the negligent, careless, Indifferent
attitude of the men here-and
please, I am not the only one who
has voiced this complaint!
$50:
'Will the men please read up on
clothes a little, and wear them in
better taste, and not try to look like
football players, or college boys on
. campus?
would they mind too much read
Ing up on everyday good social
usage?
would they do the girls the honor
Of calling them several days ahead
OF the date they want instead OF
waiting until the last day and pos
sibly the last hour?
would they select the right girl
for their petting parties as well as
the most sympathetic one to listen
to their Jokes?
could they tell us how much they
enjoyed their evening?
Gould they every now and then
show the girl that they are thought
full, with q poem, a good book, flow
ers or just some little thing?
would they refrain from taking
possession of the sofa when they
enter the girls apartment? They
can do their lounging and sprawling
at home.
"Well, these are some of the
things. Much luck to you.
MOT A MAN HATER."
There, you Washington Romeos,
what have you got to say to this?
I'd like to get your reaction-so If
you're not afraid of starting real
war of words in this column, write
in and tell us If you think these
charges are justified.
Now for Real
Problem.
Our next letter poses a real prob
lem. It speaks for itself, so I'll
give it to you with no further COM
ment.
Dear Miss Casweu:-
II am spending my first winter
in Washington, having always be-
fore lived in New England. I'm
used to snow-in fact, I love it, and
winter doesn't seem winter to me
without its mantle of white.

In this beautiful city, one somehow
assumes everything will be done In

and civic pride displayed during the

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I have been looking at model
Kitchens for the last month and it
seems to me that 50 few Of them
have curtains at the window. Are
kitchen curtains no longer FASH
ionable, or is there some hygenic
reason for this?
Answer-1 feel quite sure that
there Is no cut-and-dried rule for
this. The use of Venetian blinds
In Kitchens has become popular
and most people consider curtains
unnecessary with them. The blinds
have obvious advantages from the
standpoint Of cleanliness, but per-
sonally I shall always like the crisp
whiteness Of starchy curtains at the
kitchen windows and I am perfect
ly willing to launder them myself
for the privilege Of having them!

Each one Is different and they were
used In my aunt's family for many
years. Have you any suggestions Of
some way that these might be used?
They are too nice just to tuck away
and not be seen.
L. F. D.
Answer:
Napkin rings are definite reminder:
Of the hospitality of bygone era
It seems to me they fall into the
hobby, collection or antique class
and If they are especially nice II
would be fun to find out how many
other nice ones there are. They
make beautiful little boxes, In cast
you want to have a bottom and tor
made for them and give them tt
members of your family "for remem.
brance." Every woman loves a little
silver box! They may also be cut
in the back and shaped into very
attractive bracelets. That seems II
be the extent OF my ideas at the mo.
ment, but maybe some Of our othel
readers would have q thought or

Child Cannot
Formulate
Decision
Guidance Needed
When Planning
For Future
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Want TO play Tor us, Nary"
It'd love to-" said Mary, aged 5h,
and twirled herself up on the piano
bench like one Of those little up
and-down dolls. Mary and her piano
are one and the same instrument.
Thank you, Mary: enjoyed that
greatly. You play like an artist"
Mary beamed and slid away to her
waiting friend, Scotty. 1t was time
for his walk, said she, and she did
not want him to miss his exercise.
While Mary was fastening Scot
tvs leash, and was still within hear
ing, her mother said: Mary seems
to have talent for music. Whether
she is to develop 1t must be seen.
She will have to decide that for
herself. I couldn't undertake such
a responsibility, of course. She must
decide for herself"
Somehow, that did not seem as
wise as it sounded to me, who knows
the vagaries of childhood are like
the shifting sands. It is true that
a talent may fade out in childhood;
true too, that it may linger through
adolescence and then fade out. But
who knows whether it will fade or
live? Nobody is wise enough to FORE
tell what is to take place in the
life of a child. About the worst
thing one can do then Is to pro.
nounce any sentence upon the fu-
ture. And about as bad is the
mistake Of laying down a law for
child's future even when that law is
put in his own hands.
Mary must decide" Mary is not
yet 6, yet she hears that grave
decision rests upon her. She has
no realization of the meaning Of all
this, but she does get the idea that
Mary is the law for Mary.
But suppose things do not work
out that way? Suppose one discov-
ers that Mary does not understand
how to WELD that law for Mary's
best good? Having set the law it is
going to be hard to unset it. Mary
is likely to follow her childish feel
ings and perhaps, by doing so, harm
Mary greatly.
It is never wise to leave decisions
to children Of any age, until one
knows for a certainty that the chill
dren in question can decide wisely.
Some can, some cannot, depending
upon the circumstances and upon
their personal qualifications. Most
Of the time children's decisions must
be based upon the assurance of adult
support. When that is true no de-
cision those children make can be
personal, independent or real to him.
Because it is dependent upon the
adults cooperation and support it
Is mainly the adults decision.
Apart from that it is unfair to
lay any important decision ON q
child's shoulders without first pre-
pairing him to carry the load. Mary,
aged five and half, Is not prepared.
After her mother and father have
trained her for sixteen years, more
to apply herself to whatever busi-
ness comes to her hand, taught her
to carry out her own ideas, on her
own responsibility, and seen their
teaching take root and bear fruit
in a self-directing, self-sustaining
young woman, they can well say,
MARY must decide" Until then,
better say nothing and work hard to
the desired end.

sympathetic advice In Angelo

H. T. 8.
Answer:
Here is the best I can do with
your information: Walls and CELL
ing may be tan mixed with white,
and mean the color of coffee with
lots Of cream in it, not the kind of
paint that comes out of a can ready
mixed. Woodwork may be several
tones darker or a sparkling white,
while the floor will have q rich
tobacco-brown carpet. Use beige
window shades or Venetian blinds,
ecru corded net glass curtains and
boldly patterned chintz or linen
draperies with white ground. These
should have very little green foliage
in pattern, with the accent on henna
reds, not rose reds. One chair may
be covered in the drapery fabric,
others in stripes or plaid to carry
out the same scheme of color. The
important point of your whole room
depends on the selection Of q rich
creamy tan wall color.
