WOMA N’S PAGE, SEEN IN THE WASHINGTON SHOPS BY ELENORE HERE are more sleeveless sweaters and pleated skirts in Washington shops at pres- ent than anything else. Cli- Tate seems to have little effect on local misses, for last yeat they wore wool slip-overs in July and August, and this summer they saunter along sun-baked thoroughfares looking sur- prisingly cool and comfortable al- though knitted jackets completely cover their silk blouses. There is a Possibility that they will discard the sweaters soon, however, because the new over-blouses are so attractive that they merit display. Crepe de chine and truhu are the favored mediums, and they are made up in tailored and more elaborate me e One blouse, which seemed espe- GARDEN FROCK OF WHITE LACE AND NET OVER WHITE SATIN, cially designed for the flapper with long swishing skirt and small be- ribboned helmet hat, was of cream- tinged crepe, trimmed with rows of diminutive lace ruffles. It was cut with a bateau neck., and kimono sleevelets, which were scarcely more than wide shoulder straps. Frills of lace softened the severe neckline, while additional ruffles added a few inches to the sleeves. A wide band of crepe gathered in the blouse folds at_the hip-line, and tied in a grace- ful drooping bow at the side front. Another model was strikingly simi- the middy blouse Of truhu silk, it had a "V CHAPEAU OF BROWN HAIR STRAW, RIBBON-TRIMMED. neck and small sailor collar, and long sleeves with turn-back cuffs. An- other blouse of voile with a hand- drawn thread design, was cut with a aquare neck and had elbow-length sleeves. A more elaborate model was of heavy crepe exquisitely embroidered.

Spiral panels of knife-pleated crepe drooped over the blouse front at each side, varying the simplicity of its straight, unbloused lines. Longer pleated panels, tapering into points at the lower edges, were drawn through openings in two large dla- mond medallions placed near the walistline and extended nearly to the floor. A lovely picture gown for summer garden parties was of filmy white lace and net over satin. The latter material was fashioned into a one- piece slip, while the diaphanous net veiling aiternated with the lace for the overdress. The gathered yoke, which gave a slightly rounded neck- lower edge and also extended over the shoulders to form the tops of the sleeves. A fold of net dotted with tiny white heads was attached to the lowed edge and also extended over the arms. Then came a wider inset of lace, divided by a diminutive gir- dle formed by a strand of old rose and silver ribbon. Net and lace again | alternated for the skirt, and the lace { i1l at the lower edge extended sev- | eral inches below the hem of the satin underskirt | “The chapeau pictured was of dark- brown hair straw trimmed with moire ribbons in the same color tone. The tullelike fabric formed a small crown, which fitted the head like a cap. This was almost completely hidden, however, by three flounces, which, in addition’to veiling the crown, droop- ed well over the eyes. The effect of the triple ruffing,’ pointing both up and downward. was decidedly piquant. The ribbon strands marked the center of the flounces and then fell in a soft spray of many loops and twisted ends at one side of the chapeau. The 0ld Gardener Says Fruit trees in the home garden are worth more atten- tion than they ever were be- fore. because the country's supply of fruit is not keeping pace with the demand. It is advisable to keep careful watch of newly set trees and to rub off any buds which start at a point where branches obviously will not be wanted. This thumb pruning, as it is called, can be kept up advantageously for several vears. and no other cutting will be needed unless branches have developed which cross each other or which have been broken Your Home and You BY MELEN KENDALL. The Gliding Swing. ingenuity and the unceasing of the manufacturers a never-ending marvel to me. ot con- ltent with turning out articles to h we are so accus- tomed, they are constantly hunting out new ways of improving all the furniture and equipment of our homes and making these homes more convenient and comfortable. H Have you ever gotten yourself nicely settled in one of the ordinary porch swings—the kind that hangs by ropes from the ceiling—and gotten all “set” for a tranquil hour's read- ing of nap, and thén had someone The activity is the same old w inadvertently brush against one end of the swing and start it twisting with a sort of corkscrew, seasick motion? There's only one thing to do then, sit up straight. put your feet on the floor, stop the swing en- tirely, and then'lie cautiously down again to avold starting one end or the other to swaying. And now along comes a porch swing that can swing in one direction only back and forth, not endwise also. It is called a glider. and it doesn’t hang from the ceiling at all, nor even from an iron framework erected from the ground. Its base rests solidly on the floor, immovable. and the big, comfort- 1able couch inside the two fixed ends | £lides back and forth along a greove {that pepmits no sidewlse whatever. No wobbly twisting or dizzying screw movement, but a ady, even gliding that is as restful s it s easy When lying down in this couch- swing, one can start or stop the glid- ing motion by a mere touch on the stationary end at head or foot. To my mind, it is a great improvement on the old free-hanging swing that moved in all directions at once. My Neighbor Says: If parsiey is eaten with onions or a salad, the odor of the onion will not affect the breath. To preserve lemons for a length of time, bury them in a box of sawdust. They will keep fresh for several months. In cleaning raisins, place them in & clean cloth, sprinkle them with flour and shake well. You will find that this will clean them and at the same time will remove all the stalks. Try using a little vinegar instead of water to moisten stove polish. You will find that you will get a brilllant_polish with~ half, the usual amount of trouble. Never use a cleansing powder or strong soap to wash paint which is enameled. A solution made from pure white soap and warm water is much the best thing to use, and will not harm the enamel. To wash bamboo furniture don't use soap. Instead, scrub with cold water to which a little salt has been added. Rinse quickly with cold water and dry in the open air as soon as possible. The floor matting of bamboo can be cleaned in exactly the same way, but this should be hung over a clothes line and allowed to dry before being relaid. VERSIFLAGE Dad Scolds Mother. “Now really dear,” sald Mr. Tidds, ‘you make me very cross and sore. You work too hard for those young kids, I'd make them sweep the nursery floor. It's quite absurd the way you work. Why can't the chil- dren clear their toys? Why must young Alice always shirk- vhy can’t she dress and wash the boy! You're always at their beck and call. You pick up toys from morn -till night. Now why on earth can't’ John and Paul be taught to put their things ‘to right? There is no sense in acting so0. You never think to rest legs. It isn't much to ask y to listen when your husband begs. Besides, it's real:y very bad to bring the children up like this. It surely makes me feel quite sad to see our girl a lazy miss! While dad was scolding in this way, his wife just smiled and stooped to pick her hub- by's coat from where it lay, his gloves and hat and walking stick.

There are two strange and power- ful judgments which form themselves in our minds, from ftime to time, whether we wlil or no. he first Is the judgment of regret. ‘ am sorry that such and such a thing has been done. 1 wish that 1 had acted differently. "I wish that so and so had not done this. It is a silent confession that some things are which had better not be, and which need not have been if we and our fellow men were only a little more wise and true and faithful. The second is the judgment of con- demnation on ourselves or on others. Wo can't help feeling “down on” some things because they are base and mean and cruel and unjust. We despise them because we know we are responsible for them. We can't be perfect, but at least we need not have been as bad as that. We are to blame and we know. it because the voice of God speaking in our conscience utters the judgment of condemnation. To be deaf to this is to be a dead soul. 1 (Copyright, 1923.) Menu for a Day.

BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOWLAN, GEDDES VARIATION—Getty, Geddeson. RACIAL ORIGIN—English. SOURCE—A given name. Here is a group of family names which belongs to that primary clas- sification of those derived from given names. The origin, however, Is not obvious for two reasons. In the first place, the given name from which they are derived is no longer a com- mon one, though it was quite popular in the middle ages. In the second place a considerable change in spell- ing has helped to conceal the source. The given name is Gideon Courage, of course, was regarded as the prime virtue in the rather tumul- tuous period in which fumily names began to form, and it was quite logi- cal that those given names the Old Testament which were assoclated with this virtue became very popular in Kngland, as elsewhere The formation of these family names was not at first a ous process. A man would be referred to as “Ralph Gideon's son” to distinguish him from other Ralphs in the com- | munity. Perhaps his would be Known as ideo ph's son while the third generation would d velop another “Ralph, Gideon's son perhaps in this generation to lose its purely descriptive meaning and adopted as a regular family name be passed on to succeeding genera- tions. Natural changes in spelling are re- sponsible for the variations of today, the forms Geddes and Getty being abbreviations. “Just Hats” By Vyvyan A Rose Arbor.

This astringent is very strong and should be spread over the face with the finger tips after the skin has been rubbed with cleansing cream and wiped dry. After 30 min- utes, preferably &pent lying down | with the face relaxed, a thorough massage with flesh-building cream should follow. And to end it most effectively a piece of ice should be rubbed over the face after the second cream has been wiped off. This is also good for blackheads and coarse pores and the scars left by pimples. For blackheads, the face should be steamed five minutes before the cleansing cream is used.

Mae': Secret of Having Beautiful Hai Beautiful hair—hair that is soft and silky—adds more than anything else to your attractiveness andcharm. Beautiful hair is not a matter of luck, it is simply a matter of care. You can have beautiful hair if you shampoo it properly. Proper shampooing is what brings out all the real life and lustre, the natural wave and color, and makes it soft, fresh and luxuriant. Your hair simply needs frequent and regular washing to keep it beautiful, but it cannot stand the harsh effect of ordinary soap. The free alkali, in ordinary soap. soon dries the scalp, makes the hair brit- tle and ruins it. This is why leading motion picture stars and millions of women, everywhere, use Mulsified Cocoanut Oil Shampoo. This clear, pure, and entirely greaseless product cannot possibly injure, and does not dry the scalp or make the hair brittle, no matter how often you use it. Two or three teaspoonfuls of Mulsified will clea the hair and scalp thoroughly imply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out casily, removing every particle of dust, 'dirt, dandruff and excess oil.
