Don't view that pile of discarded heap of clothes, old sheets, bedspreads, tablecloths and curtains with dismay.

"Cant we hear the story of Cinderella an3 the wicked sisters, asked the kiddies. "It is illegally on the agenda, but let me brief you quickly on this case, in the interest of truth. Cinderella wound up married to royalty. Her sisters never got anywhere. This is sufficient to dispose of the ridiculous efforts of gaulei-ter- s to put them In an unfavorable light. They were determined to get along on their own. They sought no alliance with the fairy godmother. They firmly rejected the white mice and the pumpkin approach which is the familiar routine of the craven monopolists. "Can we hear Red Riding Hood once again? asked on of the children. You always make that so different. "I cannot rule on that unless the Wolf is seated here, said Mr. Malik. "It is illegal to seat Miss Hood and her grandmother here unless the wolf is also present. It is a fact that the wolf was fighting for Us life. I have a copy of a photo showing grandma standing in a trench with Foster Dulles the day before the trouble broke out.

If the bedroom It tailored, you might use a pleated overskirt. this case the material may be some stiff old drapery material which pleats readily. If heavy enough so that no light shows through, you will not need an underskirt. The mirror of the dressing table may be framed with the sheer ma tcrial used for the ruffled overskirt of the dressing table. In one corner, you can tie a ribbon into bow, such as is used around the top of the dressing table skirt. Another good idea for framing mirrors, and even the delicate flor ai prints that are used often in bedrooms is to salvage some eyelet, and glue this to picture or mirror. If the eyelet has holes for ribbon, run this through them and tie in a bow at the upper right hand cor- ner. If the bedroom is wallpapered, you might get a piece of the paper used and cut a piece to fit the top of the dressing table and use this as an effective background underneath the glass top. Drawers in the dressing table can be lined with the same wallpaper if you want to carry out this theme further. Cover the paper in the drawers with clear cellophane fastened with tape to keep it clean. Solve Window Problems With Old Materials Windows attract attention both inside and out.

Its purpose is to supplant dangerous amusement for entertainment of a safer type, and its hope, perhaps, is to foster in fathers and mothers and educators everywhere a keener sense of their responsibility for the purity and security of the rising generation.

We try, from the moment they are born, to give our children everything that is good. We refrain, ourselves, from coarse and criml-- 1 nal attitudes in our conversation. We meet their teachers, have long talks with dentist, music teacher, shoe men. We correct nursery tendencies toward stealing and lying, oaths and the words we call dirty. And when a little sleuth work on the part of a teacher or mother reveals that a horrible older boy at school is purveying disgusting pamphlets, we are duly shocked.

My second: When you want them well schooled, do you apprentice them to the lowest and most degraded criminals you can find?

In an age in which we have come to think of this world as an open oyster, it is startling to realize that vast areas of it are still beyond the immediate range of modern communication other than by seismograph. There are few roads, telephones, radios or any of the gadgets of civilization in the heart of Asia. It was only by comparing and "triangulating the readings of many seismographs that the exact area of the mighty temblor was placed near the juncture of Tibet, Bhutan and Assam. The inaccessibility of this region stems partly from its rugged terrain, but even more from the desire of its hermit peoples.
