1T ALL started with bright idea
for making a simple, painted
coffee table from odds and ends.
The sketch at the lower left gives

sides of these being fastened to-
gether with metal angles, as illus
trated. A shelf was then nailed
in and " by 3-inch board nailed
across the back of it. Two boards
for the top of the table were then
screwed to the end sections.
Then the needle-lady came in.
The table was painted putty color
and then waxed. She bought yard

appliqued a design of bright blue
and red morning glories and green
leaves on it with stems and tendrils
in green outline stitch. This was
placed over the table top and
tackled around the edge. A piece Of

RetentiUe Minds

Many psychologists believe that
everything we have heard, said
or experienced in our lives is re-
tanned in the subconscious mind,
but that most of these details rare
ly return except under exception
al circumstances.
Classic case cited is that of an
illiterate servant girl who, while
delirious, repeated numerous pas
sages in Hebrew, Greek and Latin
which she had overheard a for
mer employer recite in his study.

to say "Daddy"-and then she
taught him who Daddy" was by
the large pictures that were in ev-
cry room in the house.
Meanwhile Mama made sure that
the boys father knew as much about
the kid as could be told by letters
and pictures.
And so at the first meeting of
father and son, each was prepared
for the other.
That happens to be true story,
and it should make mothers see
how worthwhile it is for them to
take pains to keep their children
aware of their fathers-even though
they are gone for months or years.
HAPPIER HOMECOMING
For it would certainly make a
homecoming happier for man If
his child yelled Daddy" instead
of backing off as from stranger.
Another thing a mother should do
to prevent returned father from
children is to warn him, If he has
the child who Is too young to re-
been gone long time, not to rush
ever feeling like a stranger with his
member his father wildly, but to
sit back quietly and let the child
do the making up.
Any mother would feel repaid her
efforts if her returning husband
said: Junior hasn't forgotten me,
has he? I was kind of afraid he
might. I've been away so long"

let go the ten Of hearts. On the

When the last spade was led,
South saw that If he discarded a

Mrs. Norton sent this message to

do that a great many more women

as much care in wrapping your
Christmas gifts as you do in select
ing them, they'll give double the
pleasure.
Should it, for instance, be i'm
possible to find a box to fit some
odd-size gift, make your own. Not

Il was terribly discouraged about
the shadows under my eyes, and as
last resort blended some Of my
cream rouge over them. 1t made
me look better Immediately. Then
I proceeded to cover my entire face
with rouge, powdered over it, and

week lolling in the SUM-"
