Never scold or scare child, but

WRITING CLASS?
(Fron Mrs. M. Z. S., Washington
I am a housewife and feel the
need both of diversion and pin
money. I would like to find good
ciass-not too expensive-where ]
could learn to write. That way
I would have the fun of writing
and also earn some money. Do you
know of such a class and would
the teacher act as agent and help
me sell my work?

Dear Miss Dix: What do you think
of motherthrowing over her seven
grown children for man who will
be her second husband? He has
served notice on her that he wants
no part of her family and has writ
ten letter to all of us stating that
after he marries our mother he never
wants to hear from us again, and
that when they die we are not to
attend their funeral nor visit thei1
graves.
Why this harsh treatment, we
can't understand, for there never
were seven children any better to
their mother than we have been tc
her. We have never forgotten
Mothers Day nor her birthday mol
any anniversary, and we have al
ways bought her pretty clothes ano
provided her with little luxuries
everything she wanted.
How Mother can let man. ruin
q family like ours, we cannot under
stand. We are deeply hurt. What
Is your explanation?
HER CHILDREN.
Answer-Sounds as if your mother
had5 the marrying complex ano
can't be happy without a husband
Some women are just built that way
In the State in which I live there

CHILD PROBLEM.
(From1 Mrs. r. X. B., Washington. J
In answer to Mrs. S. G. F. on
child problem, I submit this poem
which has helped others in quieting
a child's fears of the dark and of
being left "alone." Would suggest
that it be taught one stanza at a
time as seems to fit the need rather
than as whole; and only after the
child is in bed in a dark room. 1t
does bring sense of security as well
as an appreciation of the fact that
one Is no more alone in the dark
than in the daylight.
GODS DARK.
The dark is kind and cozy
The dark is soft and deep,
The dark will pat my pillow
And love me as ! sleep.
The dark is smooth as velvet
And gentle as the air,
And He Is good to children
And people everywhere.
The dark can see and love me
Without a bit of light
He gives me dreams and resting
He brings the gentle night.
God made the dark so daytime
Could close its. tired eyes,
And sleep awhile in comfort
Beneath the starry skies.
The daytime, Just like children,
Needs rest from work and play,
So it can give all children
Another happy day.
God made the dark for children
And brides in their nest;
AL in the dark He watches
And guards us while we rest,

etc, some dried root obtained in a
drugstore (sassafSas0, cheese

wide-mouthed crock. Unfortunately,
at this point I had to get off the
bus so never found out what this
connection was. All I know is that
it had to be started Immediately
and would be ready by Christmas.
Does any one out of the large circle
of Clearing House readers know
what this is by my bare description?
Incidentally, If the companion of the
woman giving the recipe would not
have continually interrupted, I
could have gotten it!

Mr.. Hafner, senior, likens the
progress Of civilization to the pro-
gress Of textiles. Weaving was the
first Of all industries in China. 1t
went westward as civilization pro-
gressed to Persia, Egypt, Crete,
Greece, Italy, Spain, and France.
The cultural westward advance has
now jumped to America. And today,
Mr.. Hafner pointed out, America
is tops" in the textile industry.
However, Mr.. Hafner had this to
say concerning the future of the
textile industry here in America.
Years OF training are required to
make skilled craftsman. 1t does
not "Just come to you" Years of
preparation and training are pre-
requisites before man can claim
the title. Three hundred years ago
a man was not merely weaver or
designer. Usually man could Law
claim to many titles such as spinner,
dyer, weaver, artist, and business
man. Here in America, of course.
the tendency is to specialize. One
man can do only certain thing
and 1t must be passed on to some
one else for completion.
But, Mr.. Hafner went on to
say. 1T Is America alone today who
can uphold the fine traditions of
creative art" When the minds of
men are, controlled no creative art
can be produced. When this happens
In countries, Mr.. Hafner states,
then we will once again have the
Dark Ages"

Textiles in America
By Elem
Fashion Editor

NEW YORK, N. Yin France
about 1901, there was a man who
invented mechanical loom that
helped make it possible to weave
into fabrics Of all kinds of intricate
and unique designs. That man was
Jacquard. In fact, the fame that
Lyons, France has as an art center
OF the textile industry was due
largely to this Jacquard loom.
1t is a little known fact that in
Astoria, Long Island there is a mill
that was specially designed and con-
structed for Jacquard looms. In this
mill Is practiced old world crafts
manship with modern American
methods and machinery.
Many Of the exquisite satins,
tafietas, and brocades you will be
seeing in this falls fashions de-
signed by such names as Hattie
Carnegie, 10 Copeland, Adele Simp-
son, and Tina Lesser, have been
woven under the supervision of
Hafner Associates on their JAG
guard looms.
A trip to the Hafner mill Is an
experience. At the same time we
went We talked to Mr.. August Haf-
ner and his son, Henry Hafner,
both OF whom head the company
August Hafner came to America
many years ago from Switzerland
where he had studied textile engin-
eering and designing. His son has
also studied in Switzerland and in
Lyons. He designs and creates many
OF the new fashion fabrics for lead

when You Grow Older
BY Betty Miles

The Ostrich approach" to old age
and retirement is much discouraged
in the later Public Affairs Commit
tee pamphlet, when You Grow
Older" by George LaWton and Max
well S. Stewart. The pamphlet is
another of many recent sign-posts
pointing the way to happier ano
fuller old age. A person now 2(
years old has as many years of life
ahead of him as a new born baby
did in 1900. The wise person lays
the groundwork for happy old age
and retirement early in life.
Specialists, in dealing with Older
people, have learned that very active
and successful men who retire at Sc
in apparent good health, but without
being psychologically prepared fol
retirement, do not live out the years
allotted to them in actuarial tables
Retiring to a farm and putterine
around, actually having nothing tt
do, is the way to grow old disgrace.
fully, not gracefully, say the authors
Furthermore, the conception of 6s
as the ideal retirement date is a
fallacy. All of our mental and
physical abilities do not decline as
we grow older-as matter of fact
we gain in some.
Men find age a rocker road to
travel than do members of the
weaker sex" Women, although
generally less robust, manage to out
live men on an average of five years
If you're happily married
woman, the game of advancing years
will be one in which you'll be a
winner. The life of the homemaker
is little changed with the years. Her

but aging in itself is not problem
She's still interested in her appear

BEADS FROM ROSE PETAL.
(Fron, Mrs. F. X. M, Washington
To Mrs. E. B. H., Alexandria:
Gather roses on a fine day and chop
the petals finely. Put them in
saucepan and. barely cover with
water. Heat for about an hour, but
don't allow to boil. Repeat for three
days and, If necessary, add more
water, The deep black beads made
from the rose petals are made this
color by warming beads in a rusty
can. It is important never to let the
mixture boil, but, each day to warm
to a moderate heat. Make the beads
by working the pulp with the
fingers, into balls. When thoroughly
well-worked, and fairly dry, press
onto q bodkin to make holes in the
center Of the beads. Until absolutely
dry the beads have to be moved
frequently, or, they will be difficult
to remove without breaking them.
Held in the hand for a few minutes
these beads give out pleasing fra

This Is nineteenth century
recipe. Although I've never tried
it, I should be delighted to hear

Even should an avocation develop
into a vocation, however, person
still needs pleasure, relaxation, ane
personal satisfaction. We are people
with feelings and longings, as long
as we live. Say the authors, "A re.
tirement plan is like suit of clothes
or hat; it must meet physical ano
financial requirements, but most OF
all it must suit the personality
You"
Interesting information on the
monetary problem is found in the
pamphlet, with data on living or
less, pensions, savings, annuities
old-age assistance, and benefits
under the Social Security Act. There
Is also information on homes fol
the aged and nursing homes. Ano
things are said about the physical
problems of old age, and the person
who keeps an "illness diary"
Where to live is another problem
Of the older person. "If you are
thinking of living" say the authors
with son or daughter and thei1
family, you must realize that the
chance of the arrangements being
mutually satisfactory in the typical
American household is about one In
a hundred" In one small COM
munity, a Mr.. Roberts established a
mother-m-law" house, a small
house next to his own cottage.
One of the most rewarding ex-
periences for older people is learning
to help each other. In New York
the Association for Successful Age
ing has recently been established
Trained persons in social work could
set up guidance services for retired
persons in the community. Some re-
tired persons serve on retirement
planning committees" in their
former firms.
The older person is not trying to
initiate his own self esteem when he
feels the world needs him. 1t does
need him. Retirement, say the
authors, is the time to blow back
into society what the retired man
or woman has taken from it.
