[FEBRUARY 2s. 1929.. :7 ‘. WAYSIDE PLANTING women's clubs of the United States ave been agitating a plan for road- llde planting. here a. bank of violets, were roses or holly hooks. This is to be clone in conjunction with the highway authorities, that it may be done with some system. It is the aim to plant annuals which require littel care. to fit the type of plant to the soil and to the landscape, and to choose native perennials: as hibis- cus or honeysuckle or rumpet vine or such trees and shrubs In grow read- ily in that locality. Some states have laws providing that no tree or shrub or plant can be cut. removed, nor new ones added without the consent ‘of the Highway Commission. Some states have nurs- eries where trees and shrubs for highway purposes are propagated. The last session of Congress pas- sed an act enabling the federal gov- ernment to pay half the cost of road- side beautification along federal highways. ' l sat n‘ wrrn BUTTONS Hubby may suffer a long time be- cause the button on his pajama. coat is too small for the buttonhole. Dim- ly conscious that something is wrong, but never thinking that it could be easily remedied, he will patiently endure the misery in silence. How fine it is then, to come to the rescue, and, in five minutes, snip off the too- fsmall button and replace it with ‘one of the right size, or to take a few stitches in the buttonhole and make it smaller. i A woman is full of little sewing tricks which look mysterious to those :01’ the male persuasion. Isn't it fun 'to have something xvhich we can do [to make the family comfortable, and which they cannot do for themselves? 'It gives us the power to contribute ito family comfort and happiness. Saying it with [lowers is one way; h but buttons and dams and patches speak a homely language which Hub- by and Son will understand. gcausn or CHILD DELINQUENCY l The brokenlhome, the home where the parents are unhappily married and are quarrelsome, the home which contains an erratic father or mother, who shouts scoldingly at the children, the home in which the child is in constant anxiety and never feels se- cure and peaceful-these are the homes which breed the delinquent child. The loving and peacfeul home. where the child finds "sympathetic understanding." is tho-home which builds the good citizen. If a child goes wrong, it is almost always be- cause the home has failed to give him the things he needs to develop character. THE SHAMPOO If your hair has become too dry and brittle, give it a hot oil treatment the day before you shampoo it. l-leat the oil, part ‘the hair, and apply the oil to the scalp with the finger tips. luflsflflsing it in. Wrap a towel around your head; protect the pillow with another towel; and leave the oil on over night, The next day, shampoo the hair with warm soft water. It is n0?» 800d to rub the cake of soap on the hair. This is likely to make it streaked. Instead. shave the soap Bhd dissolve it in hot water and let it form a thin jelly. Wet the hair and then rub the soap jelly into it, to form a good lather. Rinse this Wt. and Fepeat the wash with soap suds three times. Rinse the soapy Wmlflfglgn ’8 Realm l» s 1. 2 .11. u AY-K ... water out with hot water until the soap is all out. The last rinse may be cool or cold water. but unless the suds has been removed, the hair will be gummy, The ideal way to dry the hair is to let it blow in the wind and sun- shine of the outdoors. Where this is not possible, rub it with warm tow- els and shake it in the warm air. Before the hair is completely dry, the wave should be set. This may be made with the fingers or by the use of combs. - .1 HOUSEHOLD HINTS When you wash your silk hose, do not wring them, squeeze them instead. If you have a pair of hose to match a dress you are laying away for an-- other season, do not continue wear- ing the stockings, but lay them away until you wear the dress again. If the rubberimd shower curtains in the bath room get mildewed, treat the spots with sour milk or lemon Juice, then wash them by laying them on a flat surface and washing them with a soft cloth. Mildew can be prevented byspreading them out; and allowing them to dry before pushing them back on the rod. Draperies oi’ red and gold damask give a glowing warmth to a room in cold weather. Red velvet door hangings are gloriously rich for win- ter. They may be used in the arch- way of the living room. To make a good salad dressing, chop fine a sweet pepper, and put it in a screw top jar. Add a cup of olive oil, a little less vinegar, a tea- spoon each of salt and sugar and a half teaspoon paprika. Screw on the top of the jar and shake it vig- orously. The reducing diet should not be limited to one or two foods but should contain a. variety of fruits and vegetables, milk. meat, bran and a little fat. Lesson the quantity but not the variety. c WHITE IN VOGUE Fashions in the spring are forecast by styles at the winter resorts, in warm climates. This unfailing sign tells us that white will be dominant for summer dresses—not unrelieved hard white, but white gowns bright- ened by colored accessories, a scarf, belt. necklace, jacket, purse. parasol, shoulder flower and shoes. Shan- tung silk, of white rather than the natural color. is a. favorite summer fabric. For several years. colors have crowded out pale white in dress, but it will come back strong this com- ing season. In planning your warm weather wardrobe, include in it a white Shantung dress, to be worn for sports and afternoons. THE BANISTER RAIL. The otherwise clean housewife of- ten forgets that the stairway railing is handled by dozens of hands each week. and hands in all sorts of de- grces of cleanliness. Ono rarely thinks to wash it; and it gets black and stained. It should be washed, occasionally with warm soapy water; then wiped dry.‘ To restore the shine; use a good furniture polish. LAMPS The home which must depend on kerosene or gasoline lamps can use them to better advantage in several ways. Use higher power lamps; use more than one lamp in a room. Put the kitchen lamp above the level of the eye, not on a table. Shade all lamps so that the light will fall where it is eedcd. STOVE CARE To treat a. rusty stove, wipe it with linseed oil and then put a little fire in it, or turn on the oven heat. This treatment is good for the nickel as well as the steel parts.’ Ii’ then is blackened mica. or isinglass. this may be cle ‘ by washin8 "1 l" vinegar and water. When putti a stove away for the summer. rub paraffin oil on it. --—- Mas. SOLOMON says: A happily functioning kitchen is the heart of the home. It should not be a servile roon1. but one glori- fied by intelligent activities. Out of it are the issues of life. More than my room in the house, it contributes to the cheer. the haplllnw- 971° health, who efficiency and the well- being of the family. It should be a place of charm, not a dull. drab. dingy room. It should be alive with significance; It is necessary for family privacy and graceful living. pretty. 1 have encased a governess and maid to be in charge of them, sary, very likely the Marquis and I will adopt them.

And the name of the one was Mrs. Mc- Farland and the name of the other was Mrs. Leighton. And Mr. Leighton ‘owned the Furniture Store and was also a Mortician, and Mr. McFar- land was a. Realtor and an Insurance Man. And when Mr. McFarland sold his buggy and bought a Ford, Mrs. Leighton saw to it that her husband bought a Dodge. And when Mrs. Mo- Farland traded in the Ford and bought an Essex, Mrs. Leighton traded in the Dodge and bought a. Buick. And then the matter had to stop, because Mr. McFarland could not afford a Pack- ard nor Mr. Leighton a Cadillac. And each of these ladies every once in awhile would throw a Party, and invite the other one, in order that she might put something over on her. And when Mrs. Leighton served Loaf Sugar for the Coffee, and Mrs. Mc- Farland, who had not observed the Sugar Tongs, removed a lump with her Fingers, Mrs. Leighton called the Maid, and commanded her to empty and refill the Sugar Bowl. . And that was the score for some time. But when the Fall program of the Women's Club opened, then did Mrs. McFarland have her revenge. For Mrs. Leighton read a Paper in Oc- tober on the Sculpture of Ancient Athens and Mrs. McFarland was ap- pointed to read one in November on The Influence of Ancient Egypt in the Development of Early Greek Styles. But when she came to read, she said that the paper of the Preceding Month had been so Interesting and so Valuable and so Original, she had felt the subject would justify another hour; and so she proceeded to read Mrs. Leightons paper out of an old National Geographick Magazine. And there could be no Come Back after that. _ And when the other Women said, That .was, indeed, revenge, Mrs. Mc- Farland said, I could be, content that she should ride in a More Expensive Car than I, and remind me that I had to leave school before I finished Grammar, and to keep her Skirt by successive stages one inch shorter than mine, but when. she pulled that Sugar Bowl stunt on me, I‘ knew it was My Turn. So it was the Sugar Bowl out of which came this Bitter and Acid Dose; and it had been better if Mrs. Leighton had stopped short of that. For it is well for one to know how far it is best to push Rivalry. For Samson did indeed discover that out of the Strong Came Sweet- ness, but Mrs. Leighton learned to her sorrow that out of the Sugar Bowl cometh sometimes a Sour and Bitter draught. Wherefore in this thing 6f Social Rivalry there may well be a degree of Moderation ,and possibly a little Gentleness and Kindness of Spirit.

It is an example oi.’ true love and. unselfishness such as we are seldom privileged to Of late I have been very much interested in observing the changing at- titude of wives toward the women who have supplanted them in their hus- bands’ affections. Formerly the aggrieved wife was like a tigress, thirsting for the blood or her rival. If she was of a passionate, violent, uncontrolled nature, she frequently slew the other woman and washed out her wrong in blood. If she belonged to the grade of society that has more inhibitions, she satisfied her lust for revenge by tearing the woman's character to tatters. In either case she looked upon her rival as the villain and laid n11 of the blame of the affair on her. Even in her own thoughts she considered her husband a noble, loving, faithful gentleman, who, somehow, became the victim of an adventuress against whose wiles and sorceries he was powerless to defend himself. Nowadays, however, an amazingly jarge number o; wives look at me situation from er. absolutely sane and dispassionate standpoint They realize that the" hll-‘bands are Just BS Euilty as their mistresses, and that no mar. ried man's aflcctions can be purloined or stolen without his being guilty of at least contributory negligence.

So the wife does well who lets her husband go when he wants to go, if there are no children to consider. She has lost him, anyway, and she saves her self-respect.

Her quick eye detected the King's physician sitting near the front of the vast crowd, and several times during the cermony she smiled happily at him. "Every inch a.

At the Hospital I heard many of those present remarking on Her Majesty's deep, soft, rich voice. Very slowly and distinctly she pronounced the words, “I declare this stone well and truly laid," so that even those at the extreme ends of the huge wooden structure er- octcd for the occasion could hear her distinctly. . .

It is of course. still doubtful if the King will be strong enough to hold the court-s this year, and it is already arranged that the Prince _of Wales is to take his place at the levees (observes a Daily News writ- er.) Towards the end of ner reign Queen Victoria used to sit during the courts and I should imagine that the King will do the same if he attends at all, for he will be hardly fit for the ordeal of stand- ing for two and a half hours. At any rate, applications for presentation have become so num- orous of recent years that the Lord Chamberlain is now trying to cope with the situation by ordaining that nobody may attend court this year who has done so within the last three years. Craigweil House. I The King, whose favourite pet, after his 60¢. is his parrot, will find a goodly collection of birds when he gets to Craigwell house (points out an Evening Standard writer.) There are several white oockatooa and a number of parrots in a. special house next to the garage-which takes a fleet of twelve cars. As usually run there are twenty servants in the house and the kit chem are partlculary well amazed, having been modernised in every way only a year or two ago.
