FAMILY FEUDS

Our Nursery Expert

AM afraid I have no patience with the people · who envy the parents of 11 'pigeon pair." 10 n mother wrote to me. "We were delighted at first when Bobby followed Jean, but I believe life would be simpler if we had had two boys or two girls,"

Titete was something to be said for Uits mother's point of view. Our chat had been interrupted by uproar in the next room, where the children were preparing their lessons.

Apparently a fierce argument on the merits of boys over girls had ended In in free Bght, and we were looking at two flushed little Inces while Jean blinked away something suspteiously like tears.

Lots of parents write to me on "brother and sister" problems. In bygone days, when large familites were the rule rather than the exception, it was easier for the children to pair o!! according to similarity in taxies and disposition which would crop up in the offapring irrespective of sex, In our time, however, the boy and girl pair usually exit all the diferences in character found in their parents, and only with the passing of years will they agree to differ.

I am dealing with some of these problems to-day.

Teasing and Tears

We had to trait a long time for our treand baby. Now our son, opcă nine, tenses his two-year«ld sister so much that hardly an hour passes without tears when he is at home.-Distracted, IF your means allow it. I should

advise a good boarding school for your son for the next three or four years. Then Baby would become in- dependent and be away to her first school before he was much at homa

Agriu. Evidently he has bren die only child for solo that he resents the presence of this small intruder. Whether he gors away or not, the bay will always require indi- vidual treatment, and you must never fall into the error of classing þìm with ' his sister as the children." They have to be kept in separate compartmenta It were unill they are much older, when a very good understanding may spring up between them.

For the next few years treat your sur as being more one of the "grown. ups" who will have to do his share in protecting Baby from harm and fa keeping her happy.

Jealous of Baby

My amoll son has had a baby sister for tun months now, but nothing will induer him to go near her. He even apends hours wrapping up

is pussessions tightly in paper and much- knotted string so that "Baby may not hare them ever."—Huddersfield.

I AM afraid that your five-year-old son has had things too much his own way hitherto; it is evident that

he is painfully jealous of the new baby.

I advise you to give him a cupboard where he can keep all his own things; but I should put an end to all this parcel-making, as there is something unptranant about Jealousy taken to such extremes.

Otherwise treat the whole situation very calmly indeed and refuse to notice bis atillude. Never let him hear you discussing it with other adults.

Treat both children as tmpartially as possible and see that the bay has fair alinre of praise and reasonable pleasures, without giving the impres slots that you are making up to him for the arrival of the baby.

theories they have almost nothing in common and are quite dissimilar in looks. They quarrel an badly that we have very little prace in the home with them,-Glasgota,

As you have two younger chlidren I advise you to consent to your father-in-law's suggention that the boy should go to stay with him for a while. He will probably, be exceedingly happy on the land as his tastes run that way and it will certainly give his twin slater the opportunity of develop ing more quietly, besides affording peace in your home.

"Peephole" hats A Summer Style

By ELEANOR GUNN

New York. When good fellows get together there are usually pretty women and pretty clothes. Now that people are travelling, one gets a pretty general notion of the chulee of a cross section of the country. We discover, for in

that travel clothes are no from any other variety, that they run to navy with white acces- sories and that white hats, perishable as they are, no longer wait for mid- summer but have gone into nction In great numbers.

Speuking of white hats, recent re-. poris from Paris reveal that Schia- parell has shown "Peephole" hints, which are thought to be no revolu- tlonary as her doll's hat. These are for the midseason, carrying on

the forward-tilted thente, so that the crowns perch on the forehead and

have transparent brims through which Use mannequin 2005, since they are made of rigid, coarse vell- ing. A second divertissement in the way at crowns is the "bird-cage crown." where he crown has the appearance of a birdcage with birds within in gay plumage.

Another interesting tie-up between hat and costume

and are flowers fruits which malch the design of the dress.

Speaking of flowers, there are lovely flower hats worn everywhere. For instance at the spring race meet at Jamaica, Long Island, one smari girl wore a neally buttoned snugly fitted cont of this season, without benc fit of collar or lapels, 1er flower toque with sash back is definitely the favourite type of millinery to be worn with tailored costumes. This type is well represented everywhere one sees well-dressed women.

PUT YOUR NAME

Decorative Personal Touches..

INCE days long gone by, names or Initials in embroidery have always given personal possessions an Indi- vidual touch. Little girls used to work their name and the date at the foot of samplers: Grannie worked ber initials in cross stitch, so fino that it could not be̟ removed without cutting the linen, on tablecloths and sheets.

Nowadays we use initials as a decoration for hats and handbags, jumpers and tennis frocks, as well as for marking underclothes and household linens,

Having your name on everything has its practical side. It identifies clothes beyond n doubt, which is specially useful if you happen to be one of a large family. have seen alsters squabbling over the ownership of stockings and handkerchiefs when a mark on each would have saved, all the argument, to say nothing of wear and tear on mother's nerves.

Marking children's clothes is a good first step towards teaching them tidiness and a respect for each other's possessions.

At home it is a good idea, too, to provide each member of the family with a coat peg for outdoor clothes, and a special peg for towels in the bathroom. Each peg could have the owner's name or initial on a label alongside.

says Janet Jay

oured cottons and each pair can be numbered so that they are worn in rotation. Stockings belonging to sisters will not get mixed if each girl has her own colour.

You may prefer to mark hand- kerchiefs with an embroidered Initial or monogram, or a woven Initial-stitched in one corner: on the wrong side of the hem. It does save so much trouble and argu- ment when you have to sort out handkerchiefs for a family.

Smart Monograms

Mention of monograms reminds me that embroidered initini nnd mono- grams are very fashionable just now for table and bed linen and towels You can work these yourself. They give a nice individual touch to a plain

sheet or tablecloth

Use Inst colour mercerised cotton or ilnen embroidery thread for embroi.

P

the You may find it easier, when dealing with soft cotions, to starch the corner to be marked, And another ip is to write the name in lead pencil first and then go over it with marking ink.

It is an idea, too, to date such things as sheets, table-cloths and towels. Just add the figures 13.7.30 after the name. indicating that the towels came into use on July 12 this year, and you will be able to check up how they are wearing later on

Some people number a set of new alecta or towels, and then use them In strict rotation, that one does not get more wear than another. You might keep this in mind if you are get- ting new supplica of linen at. ‘ibis' month's sales

Marked With Tape

I always mark clothing with tapes rather than write the name direct on to the material, in case thé marking should show through on the right side. Here again be sure to choose, the least! conspicuous place, such as the inside collar band of shirts and inside hema of vests and other undies.

If you don't want to use large tapes on your own undies, initials are usually quite sufficient for identification /pur poses.

Stockings can be marked with col,

dering sheets and pillow cases. On sheets the mono- gram i usuntly placed in the centre of the turneu over top: It is repeated in a smaller alzo on the corner of each pillow case,

The sketches will give you an idea of the modern monogram. The letters aro usually arranged to fit into a circle, square or oblong. You can try various ways of arranging the initial letters of your own namer on paper and working them into a monogram.

The initial of the sur- name is usually in the centre, and can be mande the rather larger than initial lettere of the Chris. Lian name.

Or you can arrange the jetters in their proper order in step formation, cach cho alightly overlapping the other. larges nan the initial letters of the Christian nomo.

A coloured monogram on a white sheet is pretty, and you can work it solid in satin stitch or use a fine cross stitch. Cross stlich looks well on faco towels, where the monogram can bo worked into a cross stitch border, the nionogram alone being repeated on tho border of the bath towels.

Colour Schemes

Coloured sheets or towels with the maaogram in a contrast will echo the colour scheme of the bedroom or bath. room. Pale yellow sheets with green monogram are one suggestion, and a blue or green monogram looks well on peach towela or sheets. On pale pink you could use a deeper shade of rose, More unusual are scarlet or black monograms on pala yellow. navy blue or pink, nigger brown on pale green. Monograms on tablecloths and nap- kina usually look,pest embroidered in plain white. an idea for marking there is to sign your name, using your ordinary, siguiature, in lead pencil across the corner of the cloth and then embroider it-im malim stitch.

The same method of marking is used for the napkins.
