" WOMAN’S PAGE.” } By Lucille Brides Will Be Brides THE - EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON. Van Slyke. ERRIAM LINDSAY and her husband's cousin, Grace Leslie, were swinging blithe- 1y up 5th avenue. Out-of- town Grace was in such high spirits that Merry wouldn’t have been hu- man if she had not reacted to her Buest's gay mood. They were window wishing. They bought things for everybody they ever knew and every kind of body they ever expected to know. They positively spared no expense. For, when one can purchase without the of the realm, and does not intent it would be the beight of folly not to be superla- tively extravagant. And if, sometimes, one of them let her voice grow too wistful as she discussed one of these imaginary gifts the other woman boMly marched her wavering sister on to the next window. They paused before a famous leather dealer's display a tenth of a second too long for Grace to endure staying outside. “I simply have to go in, only for thirty seconds, nounced. “I wouldn't, only you can't smell leather through plate glass. And if your great-grandfather had been a tanner, as mine was, why, you simply couldn’t resist a sniff of good leather.” “How queer!” answered Merry, as they whirled breathlessly through the revolving doors. “I never thought about the smell.' “And I adore the feel of it.” Grace as dreamily caressing a traveling 2g. 'Why, all I ever thought about was lh’ed looks and the wear,” Merriam said. ven if it's she an- “Tut! Tu Half the fun of own- ing it is having the smell and the feel to play with.' Grace swung bravely away from temptation. But, once more on the avenue, she laughed outright. “It was the lure of leather that caused two of the wickedest crimes of my married life,” she con- fided. “It was just about a year after we were married, and Les was still try- ing to be a lawyer, the way his dad wanted him to be—and just hated it. He was awfully unhappy. So, when his birthday came, .I simply couldn't stand it not to have a scrumptious present for him. And I hadn't a cent. But he had simply heaps of shoes. He seemed doomed to buy shoes that he couldn’'t wear, His closet shelf and floor were just spilling over with them— ‘“Why, so are John" Merry inter- rupted. “Goosey, so0's every man's! They buy 'em too short, and they buy 'em too narrow, and they buy 'em too keavy for summer and too thin for winter. I don't believe there's a man critter in the world has the right kind of shoes after he gets old enough to be too proud to let his mother go shopping with him. But, anyhow, I found eight pairs, hardly worn at all, that to my positive knowledge Les hadn’t had on in perfect ages. So I hailed an old-clothes man and hag- gled with the flend for three-quarters of an hour, made him fork over $11.45 for that $75 worth of cobblery a&nd burned up a perfectly good $3 leg of lamb while I was doing .it.

Had his initials put on it.” ‘Didn’t he love it?" asked Merry. 'Of course, he didn't. He didn't like anything connected with the law, I tell you. And he went right on letting his pockets sag with things, or carting 'em around in mangy-looking manila cases. So I got rather peeved and decided that I wouldn’t let good leather go to waste and whenever I went down town shopping I carried along the brief ase. Most convenient thing—why, my dear, you just wouldn't think what I could stow in it! Well, first off, I used to put back whatever I found in it when I borrowed it, but after a while I just ducked the papers he'd left in it in the hall table drawer and completely annexed the brief case for my own. : “One day, when it was raining, I wandered all around a department store, upstairs and downstairs, from groceries to kodak supplies, and I bought cans of sardines and spools of thread and four yards of imitation icluny and a new box of powder and two stunning bibs for my sister's baby and I got samples of organdy and samples of bed ticking and got home so dead tired that I left the whole kit and caboodle on the hall table—and so headachy that I didn't get up for breakfast the next morn- ing.” “Les came in about 5 that after- noon with the sickliest grin on his face. He was a perfect peach about it. but it was the everlasting end of ! his trying to be a lawyer. His father was so angry he wouldn’t speak to him for a month. You see, Les' had been keeping the papers for an espe- cially important case in that brief bag, and it was to come up in court that afternoon. So, at the drama moment, when his father was ready to present the defense, Les handed over the bag, and, in full view of that distinguished court, did my es- teemed father-in-law dump out my perfectly sweet pink powder puff and the sardines and the baby bibs and the cretonne samples!” “What awful luck! sympathetic. “Wonderful luck! Quite the won- derfulest that ever happened. I want to tell you, Merry Lindsay, I believe there’s a special providence watching over brides! If Les' father hadn't gotten so awfully angry at him Les would have gone on struggling all his life trying to be a lawyer. And the world would have lost a great architect! And I'd be minus the nicest shopping bag in the world” She chuckled. “I think it was the great- that was ever put over in Merry was Another episode of this story in tomorrow’s Star. MAKING THE HOME ATTRACTIVE BY DOROTHY ETHEL WALSH. ) Flower Chairs Make a Happy Addi- tion to Children’s Rooms. In my last article we talked of the necessity of giving the children of the family happy surroundings. 1 mentioned the fact that there were many little touches that could be given their rooms, guaranteed to make them cheerful. Today let me tell you of a “home- made” chair a clever woman 1 kiow designed and had executed. The art- ist has sketched it for you. The seat and four sides of it are solid pieces of wood painted a terra cotta in imitation of a flower pot. The back is designed to simulate flowers growing from the pot and is cut out of one piece of wood on the jigsaw. The flowers are painted bright colors to harmonize with the room’s decora- tions. You cannot imagine how delighted i the children of the household were when they first saw their flower chairs. Plain blue walls (“just the color of the sky,” as Junior says), curtains of crash with a simple chintz border and a putty colored rug al- lowed the “potted plants” to domi- {nate and thus flood the room with | their happiness.

The formula is: Extract of neroli. 1 drachm Essence royale .3 drachms Oil of lavender Oil of cloves.. Oil of rhodium vet (powdered). Rectified spirits. These Ingredients are mixed, put .4 ounces being thoroughly shaken occasional: ly, then poured off into a bottle ready for ‘use. All extracts are not so hard to make as this. A splendid extract of violet is made by mixing one and one-half ounces of bruised cinnamon, three-quarters of an ounce of cloves is allowed to stand for a week before being poured into bottles for use. A ure extract of pink is made by mix- Rie one ounce of oil of pink In oné pint of rectified spirit. If these ex- tracts are diluted slightly with rose- water they make excellent toilet waters. Blue Eyes—You.can prevent that double chin if you keep the muscles of the face firm and every time you find this appearing, use the palm of your hand as you would a flat iron in smoothing out a garment. To do this throw back the head slightly and with the open palm start at the base of the throat and make a stroke upward and outward to the end of the chin. The idea-is always to lift the muscles and the action should be vigorous enough to consume the fat and make all the flesh firm.

Jerry Muskrat recognized Peter Rabbit'’s danger signal the instant he heard it and he dived without even waiting to swallow the mouthful of lily root he had just bitten off. ‘What the danger might be he haun’t the least idea. Nor had he the least idea whers it might be. He wasn't even sure that that signal was meant for him. There was time enough to find these things out when he was safe. Safety first Is the law of Jewry's life. He would tell you that it is bet- ter to seek safety needlessly a hun- dred times than io fail to do it once in time of need. ‘When he popped his_head above water again not even Peter Rabbit was to be seen, though Jerry stared “HAS HE GONE?'

No one was to be seen any- where. “Huh!" muttered Jerry. “I wonder if Peter Rabbit scared me for a joke.” Presently Peter hopped out from the alder clump. He sat up and look- ed this way and looked that way. He acted as if nervous and very suspi- cious. At last he hopped over to Jerry. “Has he gone?” asked he. Has who gone?" asked Jerry in his turn. “What did you mean by that danger signal? ~Were you playing & joke on me?” “Joke!" exclaimed Peter in great surprise. “I guess you wouldn't have thought it ‘a joke if he had caught you. Where did he go?" “Who™ Who? Who?" cried Jerry, losing patience. ‘Why, Whitey the Snowy Owl Didn't you see him?" replied Peter. “No: 1 didn’t see him. Where was he? Do you mean to tell me that that white nuisance has come back? Was he after me or was he after you?" said Jerry. Then Peter explained how he had taken him for a post, a white post, which he couldn't remember, on the top of Jerry's house, and how he had sailed out on his great broad, noise- less wings straight for Jerry and had just been reaching for him when he, Peter, signaled. “What did he do then?” demanded Jerry. “He kept straight on to that alder clump where I was,” said Peter. “Of course, he heard me signal, and when he found he had missed you he tried for me. It was lucky I had that hole of yours to dodge into. My, but he has flerce eves! I must warn every- body I see that he is back here. Just as if there were not enough dangers without having him to watch out for!" “Peter.,” said_Jerry soberly, guess you saved my life that time. I'm much obliged to you. I won't fo get it. “Don’t mention it." replied Peter. “I was merely returning a favor. You saved me from Old Man Coyote. We are even now. I tell you what it is, Jerry, there is nothing like helping each other. We little folks must stick together.” “You said something that time, Peter.” replied Jerry. “I can tell you one thing. and that is that as long as that white robber is _around you won't see much of me. Now, if you'll take my advise, you'll get back to the dear Old Briar-patch as fai your legs will take you. Good-bys Jerry dived and disappeared. Peter waited a few minutes and then de- cided that he couldn't do better than follow Jerry's advice. He had quite enough excitement for one day. LISTEN, WORLD! BY ELSIE ROBINSON. Judge Thomas Graham of San Fran- cisco has recently decreed that a cer= tain husband must pay his recently divorced wife $3,000—$100 for each of the thirty beatings which he admin- istered to her. Judge Graham says, and rightly, that wife-beating is a particularly abominable crime, and that, in so far as he can make it un- popular, he means to do so. Wife-beating is brutal. There’s no argument about that. It violates all our instincts for fairness and decency, because, theoretically at least, the and one pint of rectified spirits. This !

The whole affair is an af- front to civilization—we're all agreed on that. And then, ‘having uttered these noble sentiments, we turn around and proceed to whip little Willy. And the whole world stands by and doesn’t say a thing unless his screams disturb its night's rest. If a woman is défenseless, a child is a hundred times more so. She has nimble wits and her opponent is her contemporary. She can plan metho of defense and offense. She has also a knowledge of the law and judges who will award her $100 per beating if she appeals to the . Also she can tell the neighbors and obtain a sympathetic hearing. But a child is l{!olutsly without protection. ‘He cannot save his body from your blows or his mind from the terror and bewilderment which your supe- rior age and strength impose upon it. He knows no law, or would it do him ny good if he did, for there is neither soclal prejudice nor judicial ruling to protect the body of a child from the blows of a brute unless the blows be most fiendish and the affair becomes public. As long as we smugly quote that bestial proverb, “Spare the rod and spoil the ~hild, 0 long will men and women ra.se welts on child flesh —with our consent!

There is always some one’who is just a little shocked when you wear an even- ing gown with a good and sufficient sleeve drapery on one side and a string of pearls or a band of rhinestones to support the bodicc over the other shoulder. 1f you had worn two bands of rhinestones or two strings of pearls and shown both bare shoulders it wouid have been quite all right. It seems just a little impertinent, apparently, to 8now more of one side than the other. Usually the objector is a man. Men seemingly have @ strong approval of perfect symmetry. They are shocked by the dress that plays one tune on one side and another on the other—they are shocked, yet their interest is aroused. 1t they are not shocked they hold a “why-the-deuce-did-they-make-it-that - way” attitude, The modern male attire is_ pretty nearly a pérfect example of com- plete symmetry. Yet that is a fairly recent peculiarity. Some one once said that men seemingly went into mourning at the time of the French revolution and they had never taken on colors since. They seem forever to have banished colors of the rain- bow from their attire save for a few square inches that show just undcr their chins. And when they became so drab at the time of the social upheaval of the French revolution they also be- came perfectly symmetrical. They are still dressed precisely alike on both sides. Once they cocked their hats rak- ishly on one side or let long feathers hang from their hat bands to their. shoulders, swung capes or cloaks from one shoulder, added a sword to the left side as a mere bit of adorn- ment.

To Make a Silk Shade for a Drop-, light. Several readers have written to lsk} me to publish directions for making | a silk drop-light shade, requesting | me at the same time to mention the | name of a firm which will sell them | the uncovered wire shade frames by mail. I herewith take pleasure in telling them how to cover such a| frame—but they must write me again, giving their address and also inclos- ing a stamp, if they would have me give them the firm's address they de- sire. And in writing they should tell me whether they wish the wire frame for an oil, electric or gas drop-light. It need not impoverish our pocket- book greatly to make a lampshade. Many women I know have made them out of worn-out silk dresses; others have used feded silk cushion tops. turned round, or parts of a discarded silk_curtain. _Still another woman used an old white silk petticoat dyed old rose! Or perhaps bine old pleces of silk terials. The first step after procuring the wire frame is to wind it all over with a strip of silk the same color as the lining you intend to make. This strip should be about one inch wide, and where it is necessary to piece it one should make a bias seam. Next comes the question of the kind of shade covering—shirred or plain? This depends largely upon the amount of silk one has. If one has plenty of material, one can gather it at top and bottom (after cutting it the width of the frame's depth) and pin this gath- ered strip at intervals around the frame, distributing the gathers even- 1y between the pins, then sewing the gathered strip to the binding on the wire. Cut off any edges that extend above or below the bound wires. Cover the raw edges at top and bo! tom of the frame with either gold braid or a narrow shirred strip of the same silk. Lining the frame is, the next step. Make this in separate panels, having each panel cover the area between each two wires, and blind stitching the edges of the panels neatly to the stlk-bound wires.. If, however, there is not enough material to have this kind of shirred shade, the outer covering must be made 'in panels as well as the lining. Make the panels of the silk as wide as the space between each two verti- cal wires of the frame; then run a plece of braid (or other trimming) up each seam that joins these panels, after first sewing the panels to the bound wires. Then make an interlin- ing of some figured silk that will show through the outer covering when the light is turned on. This in- terlining is sewed onto the panels of the shade lining and sewed onto the silk-bound wires with them, as de- scribed in the above paragraph. There is nothing that gives a room a cozier or more “homey” look as quickly as an effective drop light shade, and there is no reason w every woman should not have one in her living room (and on her bedside table, too) if she will but look in her ragbag and clean and press the pret odds and ends she finds there. A fringe is sometimes needed as a finishing touch. PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M. D. Noted Physician and Author. The Open-Faced Cougher. According to Noah Webster it is more polite to eat gravy with your knife than it is to cough without your mask, handkerchief or hand over your mouth and nose, for of the two crimes the latter is the greater, be- ing distinctly more dangerous to health and life. And yet there are still a great many people who go about coughing open-facedly upon all who come within their immediatel bombardment area, which isany point within ten feet from the cheek of the open-face cougher. Yes, it is cheek. ‘There are about twenty, more or less, definite diseases known to phy- sicians and sanitarians as respiratory infections which are conveyed from person to person almost entirely by spray infections. To the woefully and willfully ignorant, the supersti- tious and benighted, these respiratory infections are each and all just “colds”"—until the ‘cold,” by some preternatural transmutation, “turns, “run: ‘settles” evelops” into what it started in to be in the very beginning. An alleged “cold” is & “cold” until the victim gets “real sick,” and after that it is a bad memory. : Since there is a tremendous amount of sickness and many fatalities for which the delusion of “colds” is more or less responsible—it may be worth while to mention the twenty-odd dis- eases which are usually or ordinarily spread through spray infection: 1.

Rye also contains a binding element, but is not so much used in bread making in this country, partly from habit, partly from dis- like of the color and flavor of rye bread. Wheats are called spring and win- ter, grown, respectively, in northern and ~ southern latitudes, Eenerally speaking. Winter wheats are, as a rule, softer and more starchy than spring wheats. Average wheat contains from twelve to fourteen per cent of pro- tein, seventy-two to seveuty-six per cent of starch, small amounts of other carbohydrates, such as sucrose, dex- trose and invert sugar; from one and a half to two and a half per cent of ash_or mineral matter, two per cent f fiber, two and a quarter per cent of crude fat and a fraction of one per _cent of organic acids. Flours made from such a standard wheat vary in composition with the methods of milling. The old method, in use until 1570, of grinding the whole kernel between millstones, gave a relatively small amount of flour from a given amount of wheat. Since steel rolls have been substi- tuted for millstones, about thre« quarters of the grain goes into flour, and the rest is used as wheat offals, bran and shorts. Flour milling is mechanical. The wheat or flour stock is passed from tors, each rolling called a_ reduction After rolling, the wheat Is bolted or sifted through very fine silk. T) government has now a standard for wheat flour which prevents the sale of very inferior flours. Good flour makes good bread. and the country lives largely on bread. (Copyright, 1922.)
