audience and whatever mama and
papa think of them color their
whole pattern of behavior. If they
are continually told at home that
they are dull and stupid, or awkward
and inept, they rarely try to over
come their handicaps. They think
it is no use for them to study and
try to get an education. Their self
confidence has been killed and they
fail without even making a fight to
succeed.
On the other hand, parents can
boost their childrens morale by set
ting standard for them and making
them feel that they expect them
to reach it. Just as mother can
make homely girl homelier by tell
ing her how ugly and gawky she is,
SO she can turn merely pretty
girl into beauty by giving her the
self confidence that makes her carry
herself 40 per cent above her looks
instead Of rs per cent below them.
A boy who is not naturally book
ish can be turned into a student
by the pride his family takes in
his school reports and many a boy
acquires drawing room manners by
his mothers Dragging before COM
pany that he is little Chesterfield.
The dominant influence in chill
dren's lives is their parents and
80 times out of 100 they are what
their parents make them. If father
and mother expect the best of them
they give it. If father and mother
expect the worst of them they get
it. The poor little tikes, too young
and ignorant to have any standards
Of their own, are just trying to
get the spotlight turned on them
and to live up to their regulations.

Dorothy Dix Says

A 16-year-old boy appeared re-
Gently at a district police station to
announce his retirement from a life
of crime because his name was not
mentioned in newspaper stories OF
a robbery. II was the brains OF
that job" he explained disgustedly
land they didn't say word about
me. They didn't even print my
name"
This story should make every
father and mother sit up and take
notice and ponder carefully one fact
in child-psychology that most OF
them completely ignore, and that is
the passion that youngsters have
for publicity and how strongly they
feel that they have to live up to
their regulations.
Probably the juvenile delinquents
about whom we are so concerned at
present were born with no more
criminal tendencies than any other
children. They were just made
what they are by being told from
the time they were babes in the
cradle that they were bad whenever
they got into any childish mischief
and having established a reputation
for toughness they had to become
hoodlums to justify it.
No other phrase ever uttered by
human lips has sent so many boys
into penitentiaries and so many girls
into reformatories as the wall of
parents that 1--WE can't do thing

a small room as it gives the i'm
preston of added space.
There are few practical points
to keep in mind on rug selection
also. Spots and general wear and
tear show up less on a patterned
or textured fabric than on a plain
one. Very light colors soil faster
than those of middle value and are
not practical where they get direct
traffic from the front door. How
ever, they are not as impractical
as one might think for bedroom
use, where an even soil tends to
gray or fade down the color rather
than show traffic strips.
Dark colors show every footmark

rugs on linoleum or waxed floors
should be treated so that they will
not slip readily. Every rug, no
matter what size or texture should
have an underpadding. The small
added cost of a rug cushion is saved
many times over in the prolonged
life of the rug, in addition to the
luxury of treading softly.

chocolate ice cream, soak teaspoon

cups of milk preserve little to mix

until it boils, stirring frequently

The floor area in every room is
the second largest area to decorate.
For this reason, after your walls,
the floor should get first considera-
ton. Because of it's size, the color,
design and texture of your rug
carries great weight in the appear
ance and effect Of the whole room.
The same rules for color hold true
for your rug as they do for the rest
of your color scheme. But again
because of the large area, the rules
are intensified. For instance, you
would not use large blue or green
rug in cold north room, you would
select warmer tone. In selecting
this warm color, you would avoid
the too brighta rose or red Light
falling on bright rose will reflect
this glow over walls and ceiling
Rose is an approaching color, and
you would feel as though the floor
were rising to meet you as you en-
tered the room. The perfect role
for the right carpet is to stay down
where it belongs, act as base, and
a background, for the furnishings
