Y. Hews Syndicate, Inc. There was a girl in the normal college I attended who had the most beautiful manners. She lived, I happened to know, under an iron hand at home. In classes she either failed or barely made the grade, though she studied harder than any girl in the place.

"How can she possibly graduate?" We used to ask each other, yet hoping for the best. We liked her, though sometimes she seemed too good to be true. When the great day came she received her diploma with all the others. It was her perfect manners toward us that in the last analysis got her through," said one of the in structors. Not one of us could bear to flunk her." Then there was the other incident of the young boy who had just nor mally nice manners and who was sent to an outstanding progressive school The first time his mother visited the school the teacher remarked, "Peter has such lovely manners I hope we won't spoil them for him." And then, noting the mother's look of surprise, Ehe went on, "Why, Miss the head of the school doesn't be lieve in manners.

She thinks they have no part in progressive educa tion." Incidentally, this principal has since changed her mind! 9 There are two sharp contrasts manners taught to the nth degree; no manner believed in at all. Both are extremes. I think of these two cases both true when letters come in to me about manners for children: "I want my son to be a perfect little gentleman." "How young shall I start teaching my children manners?" "I want my daughter to be a perfect little lady." "What manners ought I to expect cf my children at each age I'm afraid I'm not helpful to these parents because I don't give them et rules for training in mannerliness. Nor can I subscribe to some of the chapters about children's manners in general books or articles on etiquet. Do I believe in manners? Of course I do.

Do I believe courtesy in a child end freedom can go hand in hand? Of course I do. after all, those ere only words which may mean one thing to you and another thing to me. Here is what I think on the subject. We hear a lot of talk about the basis of good manners being consid erateness. But we all know perfectly Well that a grown person or a child could be considerate of others and Etill not be called well mannered.

In other words, we know that form and usage are a large part of manners, that the surface aspect has to be learned and is often arbitrary. The fact that manners differ so in sizes p- 'y' aris Pattern Order for Paris Pattern Chicago Tribune Paris Pattern, 1 W. 19th New York City.

I added the bolero jacket myself, knowing how much American women like this style of topper. floors of glass, if you wish, not to mention the stunning ones possible with linoleum and many other composition materials.

And your choice of colors and designs is almost infinite. For this reason any remodeling of a home which includes floor refinish-ing or new floors is quite as exciting as building a new home. The home modernizer can have variety in floors as well as the new home builder. And the results make the effort worth while. Siuin0 Sen?" MWr No.

5246 The Paris pattern for this dress is in sizes 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20 years. Amateurs to Decorate Home By Edith Weigle. Summer is a good time to catch up on your reading, and to devote little or a lot of it to a subject in which you are especially interested. We're frequently asked about books on furniture and interior decoration. Such a number of fascinating new volumes, some of them illustrated in color, are at the book stores now that you won't have any difficulty in finding information about home furnishings.

From among the list we've selected four books that cover the whole field. First, and of great interest to June brides as well as to all summer brides is a beautiful volume by Constance Spry, English authority on flowers and their arrangement. It's called "Flowers in House and Garden," thei price is $3.75, and the publisher G. Putnam's Sons. Mrs.

Spry was the artist who ar ranged all the flowers for the wed ding of the duke of Windsor and Mrs. Simpson last year. She also planned the floral setting for the wedding of his brother, the duke of Gloucester. In her book she devotes a chapter to the discussion of various methods of decorating a church for a summer wedding. The information in these pages alone makes the book valuable.

So far as I know, it is the only thing of this kind in print. There are ten chapters, each con cerned with a month of the year, the flowers of that period, and how to use them. Artistic backgrounds, types of vases and containers, and details of arrangement fill three more chapters. The book has forty-nine illustrations. Of interest to every woman who wants to know more about period furniture is "Period Influences in Interior Decoration," by Walter Rendell Storey.

Harpers, 53. The author discusses the early colonial days which are divided into the age of oak and the age of walnut, then explains the fashions of Georgian England when the greatest cabinet makers of all time were at work: Chappen-dale, Robert Adam, Hepplewhite, and Sheraton. French styles under the Louis' from court to cottage, and American adaptations of English and French furniture are described, and lastly, Mr. Storey talks of contemporary design, its ways and wherefores. A helpful bibliography suggests further reading for the amateur decorator.

"More Color Schemes for the Modern Home," by Duncan Miller Studio Publications, $4.50, is a handsome volume, illustrated with colored plates which suggest combinations of cttl-bra for varied types of living room, Bedroom, dining room, and nursery. These interiors, about 24 in all, the work of well known English architects and decorators and it is In teresting to compare their work with interior design in this country. Derek Patmore, another English, decorator, takes up the problem of furnishing the small home in "Decoration for the Small Home." G. P. Putnam's Sons, $3.50.

He discusses color schemes, suitable fabrics for upholsteries and draperies, floor coverings modem lighting, awt deoa ratlve accessories sufib. as glasSj wall paper, etc. A good deal of attention is paid to built-in furnit.e, a space saver in the small home, and to the various means by which limited areas may be made to appear larger than they are. Again, tne approacn is aisuncuy British. The chapter on small coun try houses and the one on decorative accessories are the most valuable.

-r7 TASTY TURNOVERS WITH MEAT FILLING A new picnic treat Take them along on your next picnic as a change from sandwiches. Better still, don't wait for a picnic. Serve them at home tonight and hear your family clamor for more. The ham and cheese filling is so piquant and savory, the Spry biscuit crust so tender and light. But don't expect to get crust like this with ordinary shortening.

You simply must use Spry. Spry gives lighter cakes and flakier pastry, too crisper fried foods that are so digestible a child can eat them. And you'll say it's the creamiest shortening you ever used.

The stories of this sort coming from the east are, perhaps, the most interesting and to us funniest of them all. You.

The point, after all my dilly-dallying, is that manners for our children are made up of a combination of underlying considerateness and accepted forms, the latter fixed by each civilization's tradition. The most important of these two is the first nice feeling. The second llearning accepted forms is important, too, being the currency of the society in which a child lives. The heart of gold isn't, it seems, quite enough. Now, how to bring about the valu- HOW TO ORDER If ycu wish Instructions for knitting the striped blazer illustrated today, send 10 cents in stamps or coin to Jean Macdonald, CHICAGO TRIBUNE, Chicago.

By Bettina Bedwell. Paris dressmakers showing their midseason fashions make it clear to all and sundry that they're out to put an end to sleeve recession. In Big Six houses, whose clothes pro nouncement carry weight all over the fashion world, there is sleeve inflation on coats, dresses, and such major garments. Madeleine Vionnet makes big, bulky, and floppy sleeves that change silhouette lines aplenty. Mainbocher puts bishop sleeves shaped something like a football on straight coats to wear in September.

Schiaparelli cuts hers to soar above the shoulder lines a la tennis racquet. Alix shows fur puffs. Sleeves getting bigger means that body lines must stay slim, and the newest Paris clothes have streamlined chassis for daytime. Skirts are kept pertly short, but with no new exposures, and waistlines fall wherever you want them, high, low, or medium. The color program for fall is dark and rich and sober, with all the vin tage reds in first place after the in evitable black.

Two color dresses from Alix, mixing dark blue with wine red or dull fuschia, are new and enchanting. Blues, from cornflower to midnight, are big favorites in all the Paris houses. Havana brown gets a break, and dark winey brown, too. Very dull soft green and bottle green are played up by Paris, and purples are part of the fashion palette. The most vivid reds give a startling flash of brilliance to the new fashions, and they are used for day and evening Schiaparelli shows scarlet coats for daytime, Vionnet also plays up scar let.

Everybody shows gorgeous red evening gowns. Alix like to make the first fall coat a colorful item and is showing a num ber of coats that have two colors. On a navy blue tweed top coat she puts title red tweed pockets that are the biggest yet covering the front from chest to hipline. Another Alix coat is dull green to the waistline and black below. Maggy Rouff puts three colors together to make a loose coat, blending dull brown, dull green, and soft red, which is pretty enough to eat.

Schiaparelli has short fur coats all ready for the budget purse made out of baby fox, odds and ends of nat ual lynx, or long-haired Mongolian sheep. They're attractive and luxuri ous looking. Sensational hats in Schiaparelli's show made everybody gasp. They're cut to half size and perch impudently over the forehead with streamers down the back. This house shows draped, low-heeled crepe shoes for evening with thick embroidered soles, The pagan charm of wood nymphs for us gals of the machine age is Schiaparelli's latest thought in fash ions.

She puts leafy belts around waistlines made of lether leaves in mixed colors or black, she buttons up jackets on leaf buttons, and sets spiky, artificial twig tiaras on heads for evening or fills in dress bosoms with twigs. Bugs of iridescent ma terial make buttons, as do hoot owls and strawberries. Pucker-string handbags are covered with lether leaves. Materials include no really rough stuff, though there is plenty of cloky around, in both wool and silk. Velvet is used to trim wool daytime clothes and velvet details are shown by many houses.

Wools like duve-tyne and velour de laine are great favorites for coats and suits. Ribbons by the millions are used for trimmings. Complication by braiding and em broidery keeps on putting a rich crust on formal daytime and evening clothes. Schiaparelli introduces small georgette head scarves embroidered in beads and tied over the head like immigrant handkerchiefs for evening, Mainbocher covers dressy daytime frocks with crystal pendant embroid ery. You're going to love the black and gold dinner clothes that Schiaparelli shows.

This is a soot black crepe dress and jacket, the latter having a yoke crusted with gold leaf em broidery and fastened up the front with black leaf buttons. Schiaparelli's latest coat comes In scarlet wool and makes a point of suspenders that are constructed cf the cloth of the coat and hitched to the coat skirt by black leaf buttons at the front and back. The waistline gets a piece set in to suggest a vest The dress that goes under this coat is made of dark blue cloky and has a dark blue lether belt fastened on scarlet leaves. To wear right away, Schiaparelli designed a suit with a black wool skirt and a jacket of black shantung, fastened with leaf buttons and having a bunch of leaves sitting on the left shoulder, new location for junk jewelry. Schiap sets gold birds on suit shoulders, too.

The white blouse of the suit ends in a French workman's sash of red and black satin ribbon. Astringent Daily- Counters Everywhere Knitted Blazer in Bright Colors Ideal for Tennis Tribute ft.

This time I really have a scoop for you. Almost invariably I get ideas for our patterns from trips to fashion openings, observation at smart meeting places and social events for which the elite turn out en masse. But the peasant frock adapted for your use in pattern No. 5246 is copied from a dress worn by a French peasant girL Her father owns a modest little dairy farm near Chantilly. When motoring by one often acts on impulse and stops in for a bit of sightseeing or a snack.

It was on one such occasion that I observed the peasant girl in this dress, which has a quaint laced bodice and shirred dirndl skirt with braid around the hem to match the lacings. The simple neckline is appealing, and the bodice fits snugly. The maid's frock was made of a flowered cotton with red the dominant color. Black was used for the lacing and braid. You can use your own ideas about fabric and color Floor Coverings Widely Varied Floors are growing more dramatic all the time, and yours can be as ingenious and dazzling as you like.

You can choose from all manner of woods, from oak, maple, walnut, and teak to ebony and pine. You can select a floor of brick, mosaic, marble, terrazzo or tile, rubber or cork, or cement, or metal. There are even AN9 i.v V-' A- kw able, even charming, result good manners? First, they must be gained gradu-lly, like everything else a child learns through a mother's patient and understanding guidance. Next, they must be begun early. And by that I don't mean what you probably think a deliberate teaching process.

When I say they must be begun early I mean no time is too soon for a child, even a baby, to see and hear considerateness, pleasantness, and courtesy right in the heart of his family day in, day out. Not company manners not being sweet spoken to your child or each other only before people, but being considerate and sweet spoken when just by yourselves. On through the years how this power of example does count! If you've never snatched an object from your baby's hands; if you've never opened his first little letters or birth day cards until he's asked you; if you've never pushed his toys or be longings crudely around, or habitu- ally ordered him about, you'll find him refraining from these acts and notice that these and some other points of etiquet are observed in stinctively. So much for right feeling. Now for forms.

Many of these are copied easily from other people. Thank you's and please's and how-do-you- do's need only a little reminding. Forms like interrupting and not going between two people take longer to learn, as do table manners. As your child grows simply see how much he can take in the way of manners and give them to him gradually and painlessly. I say painlessly, because these things shouldn't be scolded or whipped in.

The small child who is struggling with the use of fork or spoon shouldn't be bothered constantly about manners. It's bad for his learning and digestion. Nor should the child be reproved who is so utterly absorbed in his play that he doesn't jump to his feet when a visitor comes into the room. A parent's sympathy, good judgment, and observation must govern her child's training in manners, and she must not let herself get into too much of a dither over what some one else thinks of her child. Part of this good judgment consists, also, in drawing your child gently and early into social situations, in troducing him simply, and letting him help at tea and so forth.

Ideal man ners are those that seem like second nature from constant practice. When your child comes to the years between 8 and 12 you'll simply have to grin and bear most of his indiffer ence to the fine points of etiquette. But when boys and girls reach their teens, the correct thing to do becomes vital to them. Then they'll be thankful for the manners they have acquired and will ask you, or even their high school teachers, for more! Reading references on manners for high school students will be sent on request. It will be necessary to send a stamped, self-addressed envelops for them.
