Contrary to what people think, a mat is no harder to make at home han a dress. Working with woolen material is a pleasure provided theyre not too heavy to run through the machine easily, and you will rave a real sense of accomplishment if you make your own coat. Before you select the material, .'hoose a pattern. Look them over :losely as coats may be very sim-ia- r in style, but some are harder to make than others. Select the pat-ewith easy construction. After the pattern has been chosen, follow .he guide for material so you will save an appropriate fabric for the style. A dressy coat style will not ook good in a plaid, etc. Just a word about the size to rhoose. If you wear a size 14 dress, hen that is your coat size. Pattern makers always try on the garment with a dress, so you neednt worry that it will be too tight when worn with a dress. If you want a coat to wear with your suits, select a loose, sporty type, one with full sleeves and full oack, so that it will fit well over a 3uit which is naturally more bulky than a sheer dress.

You, who have an old coat no longer wearable, may find that the lining or interlining in that coat is itill in good condition. Having this already made, with only a little fitting necessary to place it in the sew coat, will save lots of time and work. Remove the lining carefully and hang aside until ready to use. Be sure to brush off any stray threads. Adjust the pattern to yourself before cutting out the coat as this will save many hours of fitting and recutting and sewing. Make sure the sleeves and length of the coat are proper for you. A good rule to follow is to pin before basting and fit before sewing. Once basted the coat will look on .you as it would when the final sewing is completed. How much better it is to make alterations without having to rip out fine machine stitching!

Without religion it is hard to hold young persons to Their natural question Why? has no an- moral law. swer. Some years ago, the daughter of a friend of mine secretly rented a small Park avenue apartment and entertained her friends there While her mother thought she was merely dining and visiting with perfectly nice school fellows. Her expenses and the apartment were shared by a boy of 18. To all of her heartbroken parents subsequent reproaches she only pertly answered why "why? Why shouldnt she spend Grannys legacy "that way? Why' shouldnt girls and boys live together if they wanted to? Why should she tell her father and mother anything? What was there to be ashamed of? She really did not know the answers. , At first glance youngsters do not see the connection between decency and religion. Religion itself as demonstrated by many of its exhas done little to connect ponents the two. Rituals, long sermons, incomprehensible formulas, greedy concern for interest, capital, bequests, collections, money-makin- g schemes have clouded the light. Our children see only these, and they decline to believe the great mystical and unproven truths upon which all real religion is based. If the lives of the teachers were different, then their effect upon our childrens lives would be different. Greed, Stupidity Hide Glory. As it is, they are too often cheated out of their birthright of belief, partly because the blinding glory of faith is dimmed by so much human stupidity, partly because their parents have gone that same road before them and have decided that religion is merely a profitable business into which certain men enter; a good thing, if you happen to be that unthinking, hypocritical sort of man, willing to fool along murmuring things you dont believe or practice to women who dont believe or practice them either. But, thank God, under this accumulated heavy crust of age-ol- d human stupidity, there works continually the yeast of saintliness. The world is full of unseen, unrecognized saints, who have probed further than this mere outer seeming, who have discovered the magic of the word, and who are quietly spreading it with every word they speak and every contact they make. Such persons may be the humblest of mothers and fathers, working all their lives for food and shelter for those they love, but their boys and girls will grow up strong in true morality, believing that they must keep their hearts and their lips clean, that they must pay what they owe, that they must keep their word, and give to those in need, comfort the sorrowing, forget self in service. There is no more to it than that. Only somehow we dont find that unless we find God. It is belief in God, in our service to God, in the FORCE OF RELIGION Religion used to be a much stronger force in American life than it is today. Too many people, particularly the young, see no reason why they cant do what they please. They see older people getting away with all sorts of crooked business deals, with deceit, with infidelity. What is the use of clinging to outmoded dogmas and restrictive moral codes, they ask. As Miss Norris says in todays article, the young people are deceived by the surface of things, where they see so much of greed, stupidity and sin. Much of it is alluring and apparently satisfying. What they dont see, Miss Norris points out, is the thousands and millions of humble people who obey the laws of God and find their greatest happiness in following His Word. These humble people know that faith and the Holy Law will save young lives from ruin. They realize that doing the generous, forgiving thing is worthwhile, that it brings peace and quiet happiness. It is the only power that can save the modem world from shortness of our term here and the necessity of making every moment of it valuable, that inspires this sort of teaching and this sort of conduct American children have not been deprived of moral teaching; it floods over them all during their home and school years. They have been deprived of the one thing that makes that teaching valuable. Will be a Settlement They are like busy workers who have no employer. The humble true believer learns of God through the life 'of his expiating son, believes that it matters whether he is honest or not truthful or lying, cruel or kind. There is a great employer, and eventually there will be a settlement. And acting blindly on this belief for a few years he begins to see that it works. Problems in his outer life smooth out; the generous thing, the forgiving thing, the thing is suddenly and surprisingly the happiest possible thing. "I dont know why God is so good to us, certain obscure mothers say, their faces radiant as they contemplate the safe arrival of Toms son, the happy marriage of lonesister Annie. ly, You never hear that phrase except from believers. They see the surface-scuof human frailty in their leaders; they know of the wars, the slums, the selfishness and "Chrisdishonesty of the tian civilization. Everyone sees that. But they see further, too. They see that faith and the rule save young lives. The very leaders themselves may be lost. But the children to whom they taught love of God, and love of neighbor, are the only safe children in the world. Rob your children of everything else for which you are working and straining, but give them faith. m Potatoes for Breakfast From a caloric standpoint, Released by Western Newspaper Union "Why not? the girl asked pertly. pota- toes make an excellent substitute for bread.
