Work by Etchers.
To return briefly to the etchers-
Childe Hassam is represented by
several examples which give indica-
ton of his interest in the transcript
ton of the illusion of light; there
are representative works of the ira
ditional school by Rosenberg, Web
ster and Mahonri Young, the last,
who is sculptor and painter as well
as etcher, working in this medium
distinctly along traditional, classic
lines. There are many others one
would like to mention If space would
permit. But a word must be said
for the etchings by Philip Little of
Salem, boats in a harbor, their masts
and spars seen against sunset sky,
and Hell Gate Bridge" by Ralph
Pearson similarly outlined against
glooming light, both admirable as
well as charming productions.
Also mention should be made Of
the few but excellent examples Of
work in color, not least notable
among which is Prince Of Wales
Pheasants" by Benson B. Moore Of
this city. In this particular field
Gustave Baumann of Santa Fe is
most distinguished, using, as do few,
the wood block in color as an original
medium, and very beautifully. From
Elizabeth Keith, now of England,
but long resident in the Orient, are
engaging prints in color Of Chinese
and Korean subjects; while from
Walter j. Phillips of Canada have
been acquired prints rendered in the
manner Of water color, pleasing in
subject and delightfully."- handled.
The foreign contemporary repre-
sentation is rather surprisingly small
but includes very distinguished etch-
ings by Sir David Cameron and an
interesting print of Eastbourne by
Eric Slater.
This exhibition is to be found in
the west hall, assigned to the divi-
sion of fine arts, on the second
floor of the Library Of Congress, and
will continue, it Is understood, for
several months. There is no c&ta-
logue, but each print Is labeled.

brown. green and blue are all very
important, it's easy to see why sucn
wine tones as 'Winterberry" and
such sparkling green's as prone
made" are correct accompaniments
Lengths are still governed by your
own personal taste. but we parti-
cularly like the longer glove as
first choice. 1t seems to make ends
meet-merging nicely with the
slightly short sleeve of your autumn
dress or fall jacket. Novelty gloves
are plentiful and the school girls
have taken to mitts for sportwear
and evening, choosing leather or
fuzzy angora for the first. and velvet,
satin or bunny fur for the latter oc-
casions.
Length seems to be the watchword
in purses this season, with the posi-
BILE exception of small, round dress
maker pouches. AS a general rule,
however, long, shallow bags for un-
derarm or long, deep types equipped
with handles are indicated. Frames
are negligible, often of very light
construction and completely covered.
The only frames very much in evi-
dence are quite ornate-sometimes
made Of lucite. shell or studded with
Jewels" Shell and natural wood
are good when combined with black
suede TO complement the popular
brown furS worn with black.
Suede and antelope bags are usu-
ally pleated or puffed in a soft,
dressmaker effect that is ridiculously
fattering. Alligator bags are pop
ular, due to the Importance of the
skin in footwear. Other leather bags
are evident and particularly new is
the saddle leather" color. which
combines well with tWeeds and
strictly casual clothes. Typically
new is special broadcloth fabric
which looks like suede but doesn't
rub off on gloves or hands. This is
exceptionally fine for white glove
addicts and a great deal less costly
than very fine suede.
Among the American handbag
designers, Dick Koret stands out
for his contributions to fashion in
the past few years. This season, Mr..
Koret's collection is functional and
at the same time fashionable, for he
has included all the newest and
most imaginative motifs, plus the
essentials which include a place
for everything and everything in It's
place. All the new handbags are
interesting and good looking, not
ornate. but lavish enough to fit in
with the luxurious clothes Of the

that we will match our stockings

for example, you may select a
beige stocking with blue, gray or
reddish blush tone. On the other
hand, if you are wearing extremely
colorful clothes, you will select a
hosiery shade that blends nicely
with your shoes.
There seem to be no radical
changes in hosiery colors. Beige
tones, coppery rust shades and the
others that you are used to seeing

Good Start
Important
Factor
Encouraging Word
Makes Any Task
Easier to Face
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Starting a task is usually a trying
experience. There are doubts and
fears to be overcome, and there is
always the natural resistance TO
begin anything that must be mas
tered. Yet a good start is a long
step toward a good ending, and
teachers must do all in their power
to get the child to make it.
A new experience is always easier
to get under way than an old one
that is unfinished. Interest, the in
spiration of the teacher. the hope
of success, the excitement of the
adventure helps to give the drive
that is necessary to begin But one
is seldom able to accomplish a task
at one sitting. Work must be left
aside for the time being every day.
The worker must return to it again
and again and it is this return to
the old task that becomes a hard
ship.
Try to have a child leave his work
with good taste in his mouth for
it. That is, if he has made mistakes
in it, set them right so that he
knows he can begin without trouble
next day. If he finishes the day in
WEAKNESS, try to send him out with
a feeling of fine accomplishment.
Say a word of praise, give him a
smile and an encouraging word as
he goes so that the memory of his
work will be pleasant.
If he leaves the room in dis
couragement, harsh criticism in
his ears, he will do all he can to
avoid returning. and if he is obliged
to resume it will be in an attitude
of dislike and rebellion. Work done
in that attitude will do no good even
though every stitch, every line,
every nail be set perfectly. Work
is valuable in discipline and train
ing only when it affects the worker
and learner happily.
1t is good to have a bit of work
ready to go forward without delay.
If unit is finished have the pupil
start on the next step, know what
he is to do when he picks up his
job again. That saves time. He will
go to work Immediately, no worry
ing about how or what or where.
No idling about half hoping the
teacher will forget him. Leave the
needle threaded" and whole train
of mischief can be avoided.
Never forget that preparation for
the next days start is the greatest
incentive child can have. Leave
the needle threaded

The California grapes were
early missionaries from Europe. And
these vines now produce three types
of grapeS-beSides the table grapes
there are the wine grapes of COM
merce and the raisin type grapes
The slip-skin grapes that grow
east of the Rocky Mountains have
an entirely different history. The
roots for many of the standard
varieties are from native American
vines that grew wild along the coast
when the colonists first came to
the New World. These slip-skin
grapes have been cultivated in vine
yards, but large quantities of wild
grapes also grow in tree tops and
along the roadsides.
The Concord is the best known of
the slip-skin grapes. But there are
other varieties such as the Cata-
waba, Moore Early. Worden. Mag
ara and Delaware And in the South
there are also the muscadine or
berry grapes.
When it comes to picking grapes
in the market, look for plump. firm
fruit. If the grapes are for table
use, make certain that they do not
drop off the stems at the slightest
touch. Avoid grapes that are moldv
and wet. Also be on the lookout
for fruit that has been injured by
frost, as indicated by soft flabby
fruit.
Eating grapes fresh is the best way
to enjoy their rich flavor. A
seasonal dessert, with the autumnal
touch, would be bunch of red or
purple grapes on a plate with a
yellow pear or a late rosy-cheeked
peach. And for a centerpiece that S
good to eat as we'll as good to look
at, there's nothing better than
green, red and purple grapes heaped
high in a fruit bowl.
Varieties of grapes from the
Pacific Coast are on the market
most of the year. But the Slip
skin season is short. so many home
makers preserve these grapes for
winter use. They make them into
Favorable grape juice, tart grape
jelly, spicy grape butter and rich
grape jam.
Grape juice and grape jelly are
easy to make, but the formation of
crystals sometimes presents a prob
lem. These cream of tartar crystals
are perfectly harmless, but their
gritty texture often mars the per-
fection of homemade grape
product.
An easy way to avoid these crys-
tails is to strain the grape juice and

fine rugs. Two Chinese rugs Of the

natural with deep blue border.
The two rooms, opening into one,
must be treated in the same color

floor, soft shade of maroon IS used
at the living room windows and
deep maroon is effective on the sofa.

Grape conserve is an aristocrat
in the family of grape products, 1t
has a rich favor and nuts and
raisins give it a chevy texture. Here
is the recipe that has been worked
out by the Federal Bureau of Home
Economics:
Use slip-skin grapes such as the
Concord. Wash and drain the
grapes and then remove them from
the stems. To 4 pounds Of the
prepared grapes allow 2 pounds OF
sugar, l cup of seedless raisins, l
orange, cup of nut meats and l
teaspoon of salt.
Slip the skins from the grapes
and keep them separate from the
pup. Peel tne orange ana discard
the seeds. Chop the orange pulp
and peel fine. Also chop the nuts
fine.
Boil the grape pulp, stirring con-
stantly. for about 10 minutes, or
until the seeds show. Press through
a sieve to remove the seeds. To the
grape pulp add the sugar, the
raisins. the orange and the salt
Boil rapidly. stirring to prevent
scorching. until the mixture begins
to thicken. Add the grape skins
and boil for 10 minutes longer or
until somewhat thick. Stir in the
chopped nuts, pour at once into hot
sterilized jelly glasses or glass jars
and seal.
