Of Illustrations.
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON A bright-covered pile of slim lit-' tle books lies on my desk beside! the bowl of jonquils. They are the| new picture-story books for the! very youngest readers, the 3-t0-6-| year-olds, stories of bunnies and bears, kittens and puppies. Bach is crowded with illustrations. | beloved | Cushiontale, that
Two are sequels to friends: Lappy very appealing rabbit invented by Stera Bosa, continues his adventures in “Lappy in the Forest” (Dutton), a book as beautiful as its predecessor. In the latest Nicodemus book, “Nicodemus and His Gang” (Dutton), Inez Hogan sets her popular little colored children to building a clubhouse. A grand story that will entrance the youngsters is “Joey Goes to a" (Scribners). Joey was a ginKitten who actually played his pranks aboard a vessel of which author Alan Villiers was captain. Another troublesome young hero fs Anne Brooks’ “The Black Pup,” who gets into all the amusing mischief the family dog usually thinks up (Viking). A cocker spaniels tail-wagging causes the problem in “Frankie,” by Helen and Alf Evers (Rand Mec-
Nally). The engaging Mexican tale of "Little Pancho” by ! eo Politi, tells] of a small boy's day in the jungle,! where he learns that obedience is
the better part of valor (Viking).
Nonsense Word Game
A bear swallows up the family in a hilarious folk-tale, not at all gory, retold by Alice M. Coats as: “The Story of Horace” (Coward| McCann). In “Cap'n Benny's Bird-| houses,” a charming story by Ruth| Holbrook (Doubleday Doran), Davy] helps a grouchy old sea captain find friends again by building bird-| houses. | “And a Good Fat Hen” by! Eleanor Troy Williams (Putnam),! is an extravagant nonsense word-| game that the whole family can play. This is on the instructive]
side, as is “Peg and Pete See New| .

Michelle, a photograph album with|
verse couplets (Bobbs-Merrill). {
There is also Jack Tinker's lovely, : poem about the road that tells the
farmer boy where it goes and what it sees. Called “Barefoot and tha! Friendly Road” (Viking), it is a} volume for the child to possess and, cherish.
Posies on Prints Kept Fresh 1 ith Gentle Washing
Flowers already are flourishing on the latest crop of silk and rayon prints. Delicate pastel posies vie with tropical blossoms, foliage, and fruits in bringing color flashes to |
some of the smartest spring dresses now on preview. These lovely garments, like Nature’s handiwork, lose their appealing quality the minute they begin to fade. Fortunately, most of them are washable, however, and soapy water does for them what the rains do for the flowers—keeps the fabrics from wilting and makes the colors bright and clear. If any doubt should exist as to whether a particular dress is colorfast, it is best to squeeze a sample of the fabric or a detachable part such as the belt, in a tumbler of lukewarm water, carefully examining the results when it dries. Once the tumbler test is passed, the dress can be washed repeatedly without damage to color, texture, or sheen.! Any fabric that is safe in clear wa-| ter can be safely washed with the good soaps on the market today.
Remove Trimmings
Before the dress goes into the tub] or washer, remove buckles, buttons, bows, and other trimmings. Not only are they likely to be damaged by water, they may tear the fabric or cause streaks. Prepare a good thick lather of luke-warm soapsuds and wash the dress directly without soaking. Work gently but quickly. Once the job is started, don't stop, except to keep on “bolstering” the! father. Unless a dress has gone too long! without washing it will not be nec- | essary to endanger the fabric by| attempting to rub out the soil. Ifj soiled patches or spots remain after the first sudsing, put the dress] through a second fresh suds, or else] rub a little dry soap directly into| the soiled parts with the finger tips. Rinse well in water of the same fukewarm temperature used in, washing, making sure to press out! the soiled suds and water thorough-| ly between each rinse. Finally, blot up excess moisture] by rolling in clean absorbent towels. | Unroll almost at once and unless; ft is dry enough for immediate] pressing, hang to dry in the shade, and press with a moderately warm iron on the wrong side.
Boosters Will Take Another Early Swim
| Members of the Boosters group of | the Riviera Club will hold another of their series of breakfast-swims; Sunday morning, July 23. About 75 persons are expected for the event which will start at 8 o'clock. | After a swimming party which will include stunts and games! breakfast will be served at 9 o'clock. | Reservations may be taken now for| the party. |
JANE JORDAN-
~ the fitted shorts.
EAR JANE JORDAN—TI've been going with a boy for almost two vears and until the last few weeks I loved him dearly. He started to step out on me and would break dates. He hasn't much money but enough to pay his board and go some place at least once a week. I got tired of staying home and watching him have dates. I met a nice boy and soon fell deeply in love with him. He takes me any place I want to go, but don't know whether he loves me or not. He shows it but never speaks of it. Weli, during the time that I was going with him, the first boy came back telling me that he loved me and couldn't get along without me. He knew I had dates, but he doesn’t know that I have fallen in love. I stood by and suffered while he had other dates and I know how it feels. I don't want anyone to suffer as I did. Should I go back to him and be miserable thinking of this other boy? I have tried telling him I don't want to go steady any more but he just pouts and says he wants me all to himself. Please help me. I love the other boy so much. KITTY. Answer—I see no reason why you should sacrifice yourself in order to save the young man's feelings. He made no such sacrifice for you when you felt miserable, nor would he do so now if he saw a girl who attracted him more than you do. Besides, how do you know that he wouldn't wander away again as soon as he had the fun of proving that he could get you back? If you enjoy the company of your new friend, you'd be silly to | give it up. I should think, though, that since you've been disappointed once, you would avoid such whole-hearted surrender a second time, particularly when the new admirer hasn't indicated yet that it would please him. I really think you'd do better not to take your love affairs so hard. Strive for a more casual attitude toward the boys who pay you attention. You don’t want to get in the habit of loving more than you are loved. = = =" = = ”
EAR JANE JORDAN—My best girl friend and I are both 15 and are good friends with two boys. We have no illusions of love but like the boys immensely. Last night they came over and my girl friend acted very silly. She told one of them that she had tried to “get him” and failed. He got angry and left. Today the other boy told me that the boy wus mad at me as well

Women Ask for Place in FCC
KANSAS CITY, July 11 (U. P). —The business and professional women of the country believe there
should be a woman member of the Federal Communications Commission. In their biennial convention here yesterday the National Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs approved a telegram to President Roosevelt asking him to name one of their number to the FCC. The. move to petition the President to take such action was started by Myrtle Eilan La Barr of Greensboro, N. C, chairman of the na(tional publicity committee. She /said the need for a woman repre|sentative on the Commission is “definitely stated in an open letter to President Roosevelt by the editor of Radio Guide. He reasons from the Act itself which sets up the FCC to supervise broadcasting that it shall be ‘In the public interest, convenience and necessity.’ In short, he says, “The public is to be served.’ “His next question is, ‘Who is the radio public?’ And his answer, ‘In

New Gadgets Make Picnics Lots More Fun
Kindling, Charcoal Bricks Avoid Fuss, Insure Clear Fire.
By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX
sunday is usually picnic day. Take along a few of the new picnic gadgets to make life in the open far more fun than fuss. Carry along a box of kindling. It comes packed in a box, together with paper and matches, all ready to go to work for you. There are several good portable charcoal stoves for the camp cook. They have handles and are easy to carry. You can buy charcoal bricks which insure a clear fire without fuss. There's a hamburger steak cooker that makes it possible for each camper to cook his own steak without dropping it into the ashes. It's a long-handled individual covered cooker that clamps shut over the meat ball and holds it secure, juices and all, while it sizzles over the camp fire. If you are not going too many miles from home, you might find quick-frozen meats good for the picnic basket. They defrost as they are carried to the picnic and are ready to cook when you get there.
Chopped Beef Cutlets (Serves 6)
One tablespoon chopped onion, 1 tablespoon butter, 1 pound chopped steak, fresh or quick-frozen, thawed, 4 teaspoon salt, dash of pepper, 12 cup fresh bread crumbs, 1 egg, slightly beaten, 4 cup milk. Saute onion in butter. Add to chopped steak. Add salt, pepper, crumbs, egg and milk. Mix well Shape into 6 cutlets. Broil in hot skillet 10 minutes, turning carefully to brown on both sides. Serve at once on cutlet-shaped pieces of toast or buttered rolls. Garnish with sprigs of parsley.
Watercress Sandwiches
Watercress sandwiches always taste refreshing at picnics with broiled or fried meats. Make them just before you leave the house. Use thin slices of bread, evenly buttered, ana sprigs of watercress, chilled and delicately seasoned with salt and pepper. Fold between slices of bread, but do not press down too hard. Do not use mayonnaise if you want the watercress to keep fresh.
