WOMAN’S PAGE. Topcoats for the House Guests BY MARY MARSHALL. “The young girls of today travel Wwith the least possible luggage—and the hostess does the rest” The woman who thus spoke has a charm- ing country home, two bachelor sons, a daughter or two, a comfortable in- come and a soul of hospitality that keeps her guest rooms filled from the first of June to the week that colleges and schools open In the Autumn. “They wouldn't think of bringing toothbrushes or toothpaste, soap or wash cloths, and usually don't bother with brushes or combs. They do bring their own rouge and powder for fear you won't provide the brand they prefer. The hostess of today provides a fresh toothbrush in a sealed pack- age for every guest, and is ready to supply almost any accessory that a guest might wish. “I send my maid to help the girls unpack or to see what is needed, and oftener than not 1 have to provide bathrobe, neglige and pajamas. So we always keep a fresh supply on hand so that there may always be enough for unexpected guests. “Raincoats, umbrellas, rubbers, top- coats—such things—of cours the irls never think of bringing. Nowa- days_every country house has to be supplied with quite a varlety of wraps—men's overcoats and girls' coats—needed for motoring, boating and other Summer pastimes” So spoke this hospitable woman whose house is always full of young fry. One woman I know who hasn't so much money to spend for the com- fort of her guests almost never dis- cards a _coat. When it is no longer needed by members of the family she sends it off to the cleaner, has it mended and then leaves it in the coat closet on the first floor. It !x ready then for motor parties and boat parties. There are some topcoats that just seem fitted for such a career of hos- pitality, coats that seem to invite owners of country houses to buy them to Keep on hand for guests in- sufficiently clad. The sketch shows one of these ideal sport coats—one that may be worn on any and every sports oceasion. It is of rough wool plaid in two shades of brown with a collar that may be turned up when needed or rolled down in warmer weather. TOPCOAT OF ROUGH WOOL PLAID FOR MOTORING AND SPORTS. WHEN WE GO SHOPPING BY MRS. HARLAND H. ALL Artificial Silk. “All is not gold that glitters”—and all is not silk that rustles. But that doesn’'t mean that the ar- tificial silks,” such as the “fiber silk” which you See in the stores, haven't'a most important place among cloths. Among its legitimate uses are: As dress trimmings, braids. necktie sweaters, scarfs and strawlike hat trimmings. Sweaters of “fiber silk” are popular, and they are much less expensive than those of real silk. And stockings of fiber silk are prefer- able to cheap ones of “real” silk, for they not only are less costly, but they wear better. Your hat trimmings may be of arti- ficial silk, too. The fibers are made to adhere to each other by means of gelatin—which means that the work of weaving is entirely eliminated. The gelatin gives the material a slick, leathery look. It you want further economy in silken hat trimmings, you can get maline or silk tulle of the artifici product. {This is made by merely pouring the usual paste or pulp over a flat surfacc, and then marking it with éngraved rollers, which give the maline the look of having been woven. Such maline is both good- looking and cheap in price, and it BEAUTY CHATS Attractive Eyes. T¢ the eyes are healthy and rested they will be attractive. I do not think that any woman of ordinary intelli- gence and good nature can have un- attractive eyes. Size, shape and color count little against brightness and expression. Let us consider the cures of some ordinary eye troubles. Dark circles, for instance, which come under the eye: »by making a shadow in the wrong position they completely destroy their beauty. These circles are due to fatigue, ineuf- ficlent sleep or to some rundown condi- tion. These are troubles to take to a doetor, unless lack of sleep is due qr\_ly to keeping late hours. Conjunctivitis, which means that the lids are red or swollen, i sometimes due only to ex- posure, to dust or strong wind, some- times to eyestrain, sometimes to a cold in the head. If it is from some other cause better see a doctor or an oculist. Styes, which disfigure tho entire face, will wear well if you are careful not to_get it wet You will often in the forms of ee artificial silks rt silk” goods, as they are called. Sometimes such silk is handsomely embroidered, or has stripes, figures or patterns that make it especially apropos for draperies. Then, as for dress materials, al- though you cannot find a good strong fabric for dressmaking which is woven of arti al silk alone, you can easily find atisfactory materials made of the artificial silk with a cot- ton warp; and the high luster of this silk is extremely effective in the cot- ton. Or, you can get knitted material altogether of the artificial silk which is quite satisfactory On the ribbon counter, too, you will see artificial silks. There are many ribbons of satin weave in which the warp is of cotton, and the long threads of fiber silk. A gauzy, me- tailic-looking material made of arti- ficial silk is lovely, too, and it is :specially _attract, in the light, summery shades. Artificial silks wear eatisfactorily. provided you do not subject them to a high temperature, and that you handle them carefully as you wash and iron them. They are being con- tinually experimented upon, and are coming more and more into popular © favor. BY EDNA KENT FORBES are due frequently to improper food, and are cured by diet as well as ointments. Tn most cases hot compresses, or a combination of hot and cold compresses, proves an effective, temporary treat- ment since it brings fresh- blood up around the brunettes have e manently discolore Hot compresses twice a day will do a great deal toward curing this trouble. But if you treat your eyes properly by shading them from a strong light, by resting them when your work is a strain, by Keeping your diet simple and your whole system in as good running order as possible, you will have little trouble. Eyes that are well treated are bound to be bright and wide awake in expression. Rubbing the lashes with oil will do much to prevent their falling out and to make them dark and silky looking. You can use special ointments to make them grow. I have an excellent one if you should care to write a letter for it with a self-addressed stamped emvelope inclosed. PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. Why Raise Mosquitoes? One of the greatest obstacles in the way of the health education of the plain people is the fact that the plain people already know so many things which ain’'t so. This Billings com- plaint is a great dcal more serious than the victims of it realize, for it keeps them languishing in a state of misinformation which very often means needless suffering. Take moc- quitoes about the place. What a lot of plain people still think these pests are unavoidable, that the mosquitoes Jevelop in the weeds, under the bushes and in the tall grass abou‘ nearby neglected yards, or even in the cool shade of well kept hedges or other shrubbery in one’s own dooryar Surel they have been taught differently—but that's the dis- couraging thing about Billings com- plaint, it's so very, very difficult for the victims to unlearn what they know. People with very bad cases of Billings complaint find doctors ao unsatisfactory source of casual or curbstone advice. It seems the peo- rle build up problems out of their own understanding—which is all wrong—and the doctors are too bored to attempt to tell it all over again, and so they let it go or hem and haw their way out of it the best they can. This mosquito business now. It isn't worth while trying to tell folks with Billings complaint that the mosquitoes do not breed under the bushes or in the tall grass. for they know better and only feel sorry for your lg- porance. ‘The mosquitoes are partly to blame themselves, for they certaiply do like to congregate in cool, moist, dark places, in the shade of the barberry bush, where they exchange tales of the chase and pick their teeth and get tips on the lay of the game. But ‘0 far as any multiplication is con- cerned mosquitoes can breed only in standing water, an danything from an obstructed eave to a cow track or & discarded tomato can will do to hold the water. If the tall grass, the bushes or hedges are used as -a cover for discarded junk, mosquitoes may breed there just as well as they do in the rain barrel or foun- tain or pond or sheltered oreek. Clean up these breeding places and the jmosquitees will disappear. If a pool ef ‘water or a pond or fountain can't be drained, sprinkle a wee bit of kerosene oil on the sur- face. That suffocates the mosquito larvae (wiggle tails), for they have to come to the surface frequently for air or live all the time at the surface of the water. If it is a rain barrel or other receptacle where water or watery material is Kept, keep it tightly covered or at least screened against access of mosquitoes seeking a place to lay their eggs. Ponds, fountains and other open standing water may be stocked with minnows, which eat the larvae, or even gold- fish, which are less effective than minnows. Enough mosquitoes to make an en- tire neighborhood miserable m.y be cultivated in an obstructed eave or drain pipe or in an uncovered gar- bage can or rain barrel, or even in a flower urn in which water stands for a week or longer. Mosquitoes in the neighborhood are as definitely a mark of bad grounds keeping as flies in the home are a mark of bad housekeeping. (Copyright.)

The Typewriter. It is dificult to imagine how mod- ern business would be conducted if the typewriter were unknown. Indeed dependence on the little machine now extends outside the realm of business. The Queen of Rumania, for instance, never travels without her typewriter, and Is known to have said that ghe does not know what she would do without it. Yet only a half-century ago people had to do without it. For the type- writer is just 50 years old. It hails from the ‘town of Ilion, Herkimer County, N. Y., where it made its first appearance in the Fall of 1813. The first American patent on a type- writer was granted in 1829 to Wil- llam Burt of Detroit, when a con- temporary newspaper called his prod- uct “a simple, cheap and pretty ma- chine for printing lettera™ Unfor- tunately the model was destroyed in a Patent Office fire in 1836. Subsequently, beginning in the §0s, several attempts were made to pro- duce a typewriter, but not until 1867 did the inventors of the modern ma- chine begin their labors. They were Carlos Glidden, an inventor; Samuel W. Soule, a printer, and picturesq Christopher Latham Sholes, journ: ist, State senator and at various times in his life a millionaire. It was Sholes who gave the maochine its name of “type-writer. Like so many other important achievements, this invention grew out of a passing oircumstance. It wi while Soule and Sholes were at work on a machine for numbering serially the pages of blank books that Glidden remarked, “Why cannot such a mi chine be made that will write letters and words, and not figures oniy?’ The result was “a orude affair in every way,” but it wrote accurately and rapidly. Improvement and devel- opment followed. Early in the 308 the typewriter had established itself in almost every country in Europe. (Copyright, 1924.) COLOR CUT-OUT Afternoon Call. After they had grown tired picking blackberries and had eaten their lunch, Betty and Billy Cut-out and Roger and his sister Rose decided to go home. First Billy and Betty walt- ed on the roadway while Roger and Rose, whose father was gardener on the big country place in front of which they stopped, went in to change their clothes. Then they were all to g0 up to Billy and Betty’s house and have a tea party. When Rose and Roger came back the four started off. They intended to stop and see their little friend in the cottage with the big fence around it, ‘but her cruel aunt was keeping her in the house. She waved at them from an upstairs window, and they all felt very sorry. “I have an idea,” exclaimed Rose. “I think I know a way to get her away from her old aunt. Just you ‘wait and see.” [— Color Rose’s dress and hat yellow, with white ceilar and cuffs. (Copyright, 19240 MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN, Planning a Menu. One mother says: In order to train my little daughters for future housekeeping I make it a rule to let each of them plan a menu once each week. Then I talk over the menu with them, and in this talk- ing over give them many principles of planning & well balanced meal. It is remarkable how much they have already learned about dietetics, and I am certain that when they are a little older I can go visiting with the assur- ance that my family will be correctly fed.

It is his weakness, his need of her. A modal of all the virt man's strength that But it {an't the true reason. ap) Nine times out of ten a girl falls in love with a man for some perfectly silly, trivial cause—for the way his hair grows around his forehead—because his step matches hers in the dance—because he has wisttul, pathetic-looking ayes, or a jolly grin—most of all because he has a “little boy™ way with him that makes her want to mother him when he is disappointed or hurt about anything. You will never know why & woman cries when she is glad, or why she is as much refreshed by a bursat of tears as a flower the know why she does it, for that matter, but virtually every more doe by a summer rain. No woman greeta the great moment in her life with weeps. You will recall that ahe wept upon your breast when you first told her that you loved her. She will be dissolved in tears on her wedding day, and she will christen every new car you give her with tears of joy and gri Nor will you ever understand why a woman'. three-handkerchief one, itude. idea of a good play is a ind she has a perfectly delightful evening sitting up and sobbding through five acts of heat-rending tragedy. Nor will you ever be able to explain to yourself why women prefer pessimistic, dismal books that leave a dark brown taste in your mouth to bright, cheerful, humorous ones. You will never understand why ‘women make a cult of sorrow, and find a morbid pleasure in dwelling upon old griefs. You will never under- stand why they honor and esteem a sister who can mourn for 30 or 40 years over a misfortune, while they look with suspicion upon a woman who is gay and laughter-loving. You will never understand why women enjoy poor health, why they have the time of their lives in sanitariums, and look forward with eager anticipation to major operations that would paralyze a man with horror. c e e e YOU will never understand why women express their deepest emotion in shopping, nor why, when they are particularly glad or sad. their first impulse is to rush out and buy something. No man can even guess why a shopping orgy is the expression of ineffable bliss to a woman, nor why buy- ing her mourning when she loses one she loves comforts her and is a stronger stay than all her philesophy. You will never understand why words count more than deeds with a woman, nor why a wife will doubt the affection of her husband who works himself to death to keep her soft and comfortable, but who never tells her that she is the dearest thing in the world to him, while she will believe im- plicitly in the devotion of a glib-tongged palaverer, who will heap endear- ments on her while he lets her take in boarders to support him. You will never be able to understand why women go to pieces over little things, and are calm and collected and master of the situation in big crises. Yet there were women who had hysterics over a mouse, who never quailed under the fire of battle. We have all seen pampered, doll-baby women meet poverty without flinching, and semi-invalid women rise up from their beds and go out and support their familles. There are these, and a million other things, that you will never find out about the woman you marry, son, but trying to guess why vour wife does this, or doesn’t do it, will keep matrimony from ever being dull. (Copyright, 1924.) What TodayMeans to You BY MARY BLAKE. Leo Today's aspects are fair, although rather unfavorable for any radical departure or untried experiment. The signs indieate that it is a good op- portunity for dispesing of matters that have been carefully studled, but on which no definite action has as yet been taken. The vibrations also favor the adjustment of personal dis- putes and misunderstandings. A child born today will, while healthy and vigorous, be very pre- cocious. As infant abnormalities often develop into adult mediocrities, care must be taken that this child's mental forwardness is not allowed to jeopardize character fundamentals. Precocionsness, although a stimulant to, is never a substitute for solid learning. It should be compelled to associate in early childhood with normal playmates of its own age and made to spend as much time as possi- ble in outdoor recreations. If today is your birthday you pos- sess a basieally reliable character, a keen perception and inordinate self- confidence. This latter tralt is not displayed in any verbal trumpeting of your own abilities, but is shown in your criticism of others’ efforts and indiseriminate fault-finding. A woman may have many faults, but_the one most difficult to condone is “nagging.” and unless you pull yourself up with a jerk you will soon be & graduate of this class. You are not so perfect as to warrant your criticising others, nor does your sex sive you this prerogative or extend you this privilege. Far better would it be to use the many cbarms you possess and to exercise tolerance and forbearance, 50 that life may be made happy for you and for those sround ¥ 0 8 Men can be forgiven “seventy times seven,” but the unpardonable sin is never-ending fault-finding and per- petual knocking. You rarely can summon up courage to give praise where it is due—you think this 3 sign of weakness; you are neither tolerant nor just. Even when some effert compels your commendation you genmerally ‘damn it with faint praise. Conceit is the mainspring of fault- finding in either men or women, as by implication it is inferred that the eriticiser claims superiority over the criticised. ‘Well known persons born on thi date are Mrs. Luey Stone, reformer: Henry L. Abbot, military engineer, Felix Adler, educator and reformer Arthur S. Hiekley, inventor; Morris Jastrow, philologist, ' and Emma Eames (Story), opers singer. (Copyright, 1924.)

MARY LOGAN TUCKER, Daughter of Gen. Logan. Since girlhood Mrs. Mary Logan Tucker. daughter of the famous Civil War general, John A. Logan, has worked enthusiastically for every project that had the benefit of the Grand Army of the Republic for its incentive, After her father's death Mrs Tucker was the companion and aide to her gifted mother in her literary, civic, patriotic and political activi- ties and her faithful ally in all of her social and offictal duties. Mre. Tucker is naturally one of the best informed authorities on Washington City and its people as her parents knew it during and immediately fol- lowing the period of the Civil war. She also assisted her mother in her great volume of correspondence and in assembling and compiling data for her books. She is president of the Dames of the Loyal Legion, but it is in the role of charming and gracious hostess that she acquits herself most attractively. To many housekeepers the use of soft-shell crabs is fraught with cor cern and uneasiness. Mrs Tucker says she learned to cook them from a distinguished cavalry officer. Before frying soft-shell crabs put them while alive and lively into a large baking pan filled with milk. After they have feasted upon the milk clean them ecarefully or have it done just as short a time before cooking as possidle. If they are to be cleaned at home remove the spongy substance lying just under the shell and take out the small pointed section of the undershell called the apron. Wipe carefully with clean, damp cloth and, if de- sired, they may then be allowed to stand for an hour in milk to which two eggs and one and one-half cup- fuls of milk to every six crabs is allowed. It will be found that most of the milk will be absorbed. This makes them much more juicy and tender, and they may be put-into it before or after being prepared for the pan, a5 the cook prefers.

No- where else did the blueberries grow 50 big, 5o blue and so plentiful. And there were the raspberries ard the blackberries and the thimbleberries. So the Old Pasture entertained many visitors. At no other time in all the year did so many people visit the Old Pasture. There were all kinds of people—big people, little people, middle-sized people, people in feathers and people in fur, and some who wore neither feathers nor fur. Not all were there after berries. No. indeed. Some were there in the hope of catching others who were there after the berries. The nesting season for most of the birds was over and their home duties were ended. There was no reason why they should not spend as much time as they choose in the Old Pasture. So those who liked berries spent considerable time there. Some of the Green For- est people who wear fur had children big enough to follow them out into the Great World, and so family par- ties visited the Old Pasture. So day after day the Old Pasture entertained. 0Ol1d Jed Thumper, the gray old Rab- bit, who had lived 50 long in the Old Pasture that he considered that it be- longed to him, didn't like it. There were altogether too many people about. So Old Jed Thumper kept pretty close to his bull briar castle. Reddy Fox and Old Man Coyote, who live in different parts of the Old Pasture and through most of the vear do most of their hunting somewhere else, now spent much of their time right there in the Old Pasture. Each knew all about those family parties where the berries grew, and each was always hoping that he would have a chance to catch scme of the younger members of those berry parties. So it was that with so many in the Old Pasture there were some queer meetings. Peter Rabbit saw some of these queer meetings. Of course, Peter was up there. You can trust Feter to be where anything is going on. Ore morning he happened to be Deeping out of a bramble-tangle be- side an old cowpath. Looking up the oid cowpath, he saw Old Man Coyote coming down. Losking down the old cowpath, he saw Reddy Fox coming up. Neither hap yet seen the other. Peter wondered what would happen when they met, and he became quite excited. Down the old cowpath trotted Old Man Coyote. Up the old cowpath trotted Reddy Fox. There was a little bend in the path which pre- vented each from seeing the other. Peter fairly hugged himself with ex- citement as he saw that they would meet right on that bend and right in front of where he was sitting. He wondered if he would see a fight. I am sorry to say that he rather hoped he would. Reddy Fox came around that bend Caulifiower Spanish Way. Prepare the caulifiower as for boil- ing and steam until soft. Separate the flowerets and pour over them the fol spoonful of mustard, one-half a tea- epoonful of salt, two teaspoonfuls of powdered sugar, one-fourth teaspoonfui of paprika, six tablespoonfuls of vine- gar, two tablespoonfuls of flour, the yolks of two eggs elightly beaten, one- fourth cupful of salad oil and two ta- blespoonfuls of butter.
