In regard to beifce and brown and kludred tones, they are the chic colors for the Immediate moment—a fact at tested In matter of costumes for every hour of the day and evening. The theory that brown and associated shades are strictly an autumn and mid winter proposition has been disproved. Quite the smartest suits for travel and town wear are those tailored of soft leafy brown covert. The blouse of tangerine crepe, linen or satin di maxes the color study. For evening the frock of dusky broiffk net. muchly beruMed and ex tremely bouffant, has become a fa vorite with ihe smart set. As to day time ensembles of silk print, when done In tones of browns and yellows or creamy beige the topnotch of chic Is achieved. Accessories which highlight the new browns, ranging from pale beige to vibrant reddish browns and on to darker times, are outstanding. Gape- dally In the matter of scarfs la brown played In every key. Favorite types are the long narrow scarfs formed of patches of brown, capoclne and cream or pale beige silk seamed together In triangles or squares. A scarf In tones of brown calls for a pocket book repeating the same col ors. Among the handsomest handbags exploited this season are those corded In a solid patterning. When carried out In tones of brown and capoclne they are especially attractive. JULIA BOTTOMLET. <©• IMS.

Every grown person should think of himself as a teacher In relation to every chllC with whom he assoclatea. Not a stern and formal teacher, but a jolly, casual, comradely one who al ways takes seriously the Importance of tbe unfolding, the growth of a hu man mind, and respects Its problems and Its aspirations. If we would, all of urn, only think of ourselves and our responsibilities In this light, we should still, of course, make mistakes —being only human—and we should be better parents, because we should come nearer to deserving the confi dence with which little children look to us for counsel and guidance In thla strange and Intricate world. Barbara • Littlejohn, writing on M What a Camp Can* Do.** says: “When the wife of the director of my boy's cimp saw that I was feeling a hit neglected by my son. she said, with a gentle laugh. ’That’s what hap pens to all the mother's who come here! I know It’s painful but it has to happen sometimes. Every mother must learn, sooner or Ister, that she la only background. But—she must always be there making up her child’s background. When she Isn't, be Is lost”* Even though the kitchen In a sep arate extension or In the corner of the house has natural cross ventila tion, It is very Important to plan for artificial ventilation over the stove as well. In the wintertime It is not pos sible to draw off all of the odors of cooking by opening the windows, since chilly drafts may result, but if a hood is built over the stove and this connected with a flue which runs up to a ventilator In the roof the odors and steam from cooking can be gotten rid of without the necessity of open ing the windows. In the summertime this hood will also lead off the exces sive heat generated when the oven Is used. If no'hood can be placed over the stove a motor-driven fan may be Installed In the wall or over the top of one of the windows. Adolescence is no time for parents to attempt to deal with their sons and daughters through pressure or punishment, threats or deprivations. The parental function now must be largely that of guide.

It Is obvious that for the best discipline, the parent must be more Intelligent than the child. With the most gifted children, this may quite early become a problem, since such a child by the age of ten years Is as intelligent as, or more Intelligent than the average adult Unless both parents are very superior, therefore. It may happen that the child, while ■till very Immature physically add emotionally, comes to exceed a par ent In comprehension of life situa tions.
