¢ WOMAN’S PAGE. Cuffs ;Assuming New Importance BY MARY MARSHALL Whoever it was that invented the large cuft nit upon a device for mak- ing_ the hands sgem small—much smaller than they appear when worn ‘Wwith arms bare. Lately we haven't thought much about the size of our hands. One of the first requirements of the heroines of fiction is no longer to possess hands of fairylike pro- portions. In fact, some fiction writers even go so far as to endow their heroines with hands that are frankly large, though of course they take care that the large hand is fairly slender and white. fiction writer has yet appeared quite brave enough to in- troduce a heroine with hands that were broad and red! But to go back to cuffs. They have appeared again on the eastern horizon of fashion. At the late Summer col- lections of the French dressmakers long cleeves and close-fitting sleeves have been everywhere mentioned—and with them wide and distinctive cuffs. During the 17th and 1Sth centuries such an important role did cuffs play in the costumes of both men and women that it is really difficult for a modern designer to think of a kifd of cuff that is not at once historical in its suggestion Linen or pique either color is among the charming acces- sories launched by French dress- makers, and an Autumn frock that de- serves much favor is the straight, ecant plaid frock with wide hable flaring collars and cuffs. Attach a small artificial flower to the left revers of the collar and the picture is complete., With printed chiffon frocks for late Summer flaring cuffs and collars sug- gestive of the mode of Louis XIII are shown. Suggestive of Marie de Medici and Marie Stuart are all white geor- gette or lace sleeves worn with long, close-fitting_ black velvet sleeves. Frilled and flounced sleeves suggestive of the late 1Sth century mode are seen in the new fashions and close sleeves that button well 'down ,on the wrist smack strongly and pleasantly of the Empire period. Cuffs that in white or resemble the gauntlet top of gloves—snug about the wrist and flaring nearly to the elbow—are at. tached to some of the new fur coats— the cuffs being of contrasting fur—as mole on caracul.

He had preserved it in his own eyes. He had ipreserved it in the eyes of Farmer Brown's boy. And he knew that if any of the little people of the Green Forest or the Green Meadows had happened to be looking on, he had preserved it in their eyes. Who has o self-respect will have very little respect for othen people. The respect of other peoplé is sure BUSTER HAD GONE ONLY FAR ENOUGH TOQ GET OUT OF SIGHT. to be given to one who keeps self- respect. It had taken Buster Bear a long time to find this out. Yes, sir, it had taken him a long time. But he had found it out, and.could you have seen him, slowly and with great dignity, moving away from the berry bush where he had unexpect- edly come face to face with Farmer Brown's boy, you would, 1 am sure, ave had the greatest respect for Duster Bear. rmer Brown's boy hadn’t moved. He had stood perfectly still until Buster finally disappeared in the bushes. He had been tempted to yell at Buster to try to make him run. But he hadn’t done it. He kept his mouth closed. wYou see, he under- stood just how Buster felt. “Buster remembers,” thought Far- mer Brown's boy, “the first time we PIQUE CUFFS WITH COLLAR TO MATCH TRIM PLAID FROCK.

BURGESS met, here in the Old Pasture and how he ran a in such a fright that he didn't even see where he was ®0ing. That was because he was young and foolish. Now he is older and wiser, much wiser. Down in his heart he is still a little afraid of me, but he doesn’t intend that any one shall know it. The old rascal is pre- tending. He is pretending that he hasn’t seen me. He is pretending that he doesn't know I am anywhere about. He is anxious to get away from here, but he isn't hurrying a step. He knows that I am watching him, and he wants to make me think that he doesn't care a flip of a paw about me. He wants me to under- stand that he respects me and my rights, and that he expects me to respect him and his rights. “I suppose some people - wouldn't stay here a minute, knowing there is a fully grown Bear in the Old Pasture. But I know that I have no more to fear from him than I would have if he were miles away. He has shown me that as plainly as if he had said it in so many words. Poor old Buster! He had set his heart on these berries. 1 could see it in his eyes when he was hegding for this bush. But 1 was here first, and &0 these berries are mine. Anyway, there are plenty of other berries for Buster.” So Farmer Brown's boy resumed his picking, and it wasn't very long before he had his pail full. All the time, without appearing to do so, he watched for another glimpse of Buster Bear. But he didn't get one. He neither saw nor heard anything more of Buster. But he knew that this didn’t mean that Buster had gone back to the Green Forest. He suspected that Buster wasn't far away. He had a feeling that though he didn't see Buster, Buster saw him. He was right. Buster had gone only far enough to get out of sight and then had hidden where he could watch Farmer Brown's boy but be unseen himself. Just as soon as Farmer Brown's boy started home with his two pails of berries Buster resumed his feast. He wasn't in the leasj nervous or upset. Once he would have been; he would have kept looking to see if Farmer Brown's boy was return- ing. Age had brought. wisdom and understanding to Buster Bear. (Copyright, 1924, by T. W. Burgess.) WHEN WE GO SHOPPING BY MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN. Blouse for Fall Suit. Now that the soft, silken “over- blouse” has largely supplanted the stiff, stern “shirt waist” of not-so- Jong-ago, blouse buying has become an art. For the blouse, once rele- gated almost to the status of a mere dress accessory, now practically makes costure in itself. Especially in its relationship to the Fall suit is the well selected blouse important. For by possessing ‘sev- eral different types of blouses you can so change the appearance of your suit that you will appear well and suitably dressed for any time and occasion. In selecting the sort of blouse you will probably want to wear most often with your suit—the semi- tailored one, suitable for street, train and business—your primary con- siderations should be simplicity of cut and material. You can select a dainty but tailored-looking wash material, or you can choose some substantial silk in shades to match the suit. But there should always be long sleeves and relatively high neck on the tailored blouse,* and “jew-jaws" should be absent. The blouse-to-match-the-suit idea Is even more desirable for semi-dress wear. Such a blouse, usually a silken overblouse, gives the - wearer s a AUNT HET BY ROBERT QUILLEN. *“I ain't complainin’ about fur- nishin’ Sue Hoyt seven cups o' Sugar this year, but I wish she'd stop usin’ the word ‘borrow.’” charming air of being “well put to- gether,” and it gives her costume the effect of the fashionable three-piece suit. Or, the semi-dress blouse may e of lighter shade and of washable material, and may show its contrast to the strictly tailored blouse only by the addition of a feminine frill or a bit of embroidery. Semi-dress blouses of either type may be some- what shorter of sleeve and lower of neck-line than is the tailored blouse. The true dress blouse, to be worn, usually, in the evening, or for a formal afternoon function, may be quite ornate, and of a material as fragile as you like, such as crepe, chiffon or lace. It may be quite low of neck, and is often entirely sleeve- less. But do not buy such a blduse for business! Finally, and in a class all to itself, there is the sports blouse, the right. ful accompaniment of the sports suit. The sportse blouse should, above alf, be comfortable and easily laundered. It may have either long or short sleeves, according to which better suits your purpose, and the neck may be cut-away or high.

To “Whitewash.” The use of this term to describe a covering over to conceal wrongdoing is familiar to a great extent through its application in .political: matters. Parties are accused frequently of whitewashing members who are un- der suspicion by so-called investiga- tions, which lead only to exoneration. It was during the early days of in- solvency- legislation -in- England—the passing of laws. to do away with im- prisonment for debt—that the term “whitewash” is said to have been first employed in this figurative sens ‘We find its earliest recorded in the following quotation from a speech made in the House of Commons by a member protesting against the pas- sage of the insolvency act, which proposed to free imprisoned debtors on their oath of good faith: - “This act,” he said, “will enable a. man to go to prison covered with debts and soiled with dirty ways and come out“'whlh:ll?zl "“x‘bmn. the contest against honesty-afresh.” . -{Copyright, 1924.)

YOUR HOME AND YOU BY HELEN KENDALL. ‘Washable Traveling Garb. Every Summer I have sometiing to say about the uncomfortable garb chosen by most woman travelérs. To sit in a hot train or automobile at- tired In a woolen skirt and coat suit, with heavy street shoes and glace kid gloves, is many an older woman's idea of the appropriate costume for a Journey, but it certainly cannot be her idea of comfort. The younger generation goes to the opposite ex- treme and travels in sleeveless frocks, elaborately strapped slippers, and all the latest dingle-dangies there are in the shops. Cannot we compromise? To my mind, a clinging -woolen dress or skirt is the last thing in the world to wear on a trip during the hot summer days—August days especially. Between the warm plush car seat and the suit skirt there Is a vicious conspiracy against the com- fort of the traveler. Her garments stick maddeningly to her, and make her fairly seethe, she knows-not why! Silk, on’ the contrary, jmgcool, un- sticky, unclinging, and™ s “dust at a breath of air. The serge suit holds dirt with a vicelikke grip. Sure- ly a light wool coat should meet all the requirements if the day should grow cooler; .50 for pity’s sske wear a simple one-piece silk frock: whether you travel by train or moter; elbow sleeves for older women, and’ some sleeve, if only a little, for the young girl and matron. 87, As for gloves, which oldefwomen generally want to wear evél if. the flappers do not, by all means wear washable: chamois or doeskin gloves all suthmer long, I say. fabric gloves are neither so good-l nor 8o comfortable, as they look like “quality,” and ‘they are not #lo soft. Doeskin is a delicious, pliablg mate- rial, and chamois is comfo , - too, provided it is washed properly. In fart, all gloves of washable skins have to be cleansed in. a.'special way to keep them unshrunken,:velyety soft and mellow in color. * fi To wash gloves en route, nr‘mke a soft soapsuds in the bowl by rubbing the 'soap briskly between the hands and dousing them in. the water. Put the gloves on the hands, and with your nail- brush dipped in the thick suds gently scrub off the,dirt. It will ‘come off easily. Let the water run out, take off the gloves and rinse them loosely in a tresh bowl of water,or under. the fau- cet. Then comes the real trick.’ Crush- ing the gloves in your hands, rub them thoroughly with the cake of soap until they are so slippery you can scarcely hang on to them. - Squeeze all the water and soap you can,out of them, blow the fingers full of ajr, then pull them gently into shape, blow gently again and hang the gloves up in a draught of air. They will be' dry ‘very soon and as soft as a baby’s cheek. The-soap doesn’t. hurt them a particle. . ——— Cocoanut Milk Chocolate: Heat a_quart of milk in a double boiler, and when it is very hot, stir into it Your. heaping tabiespoonfuls of grated unsweetened ' chocolate, moistened with- a little cold water.

Curing Father Who Is Jealous of First Child. DEAR MISS DIX: What should one do about grafting relatives? My husband is only the average working man, getting a moderate s#lary, yet: we have & number of relatives who seem to think that we should always be giving them money and gifts, and that they have a perfect right to come and make a free hotel of our house. ‘We do without many things we need qurselves in order to give to these people who are able-bodled and just as able to work as we are. They are never grateYul for anything we do for them, but they are furious with us when we refuse them anything. What do you think we should do about it? Answer: the wors! T think of all the pes Likewise, they are the hardest to get rid of. SIMNE. in the world sponging relatives are It is easler to free your house from the Argentine ant-than it is from cranky Aunt Sally, and to drive away the rats than the nibbling cousins. Perhaps the parasitic relatives are a hangover from the patriarchal days in which the head of the family looked after all of the tribe to the remotest generation and supplied their needs. At any rate, whatever the redson, the clinging-vine relative who clasps his or her tendrils around your pocket- book and clings to your doorstep is still with us, and still believes that the blood bond is good for a handout. Everybody who lives in the country knows what it is to have hordes of self-invited city relatives descend like a cloud of locusts upon them in Summer. Everybody who lives in the city knows what it is to have a small apartment packed like sardines in a box with country cousins who want to see the city without money and without cost. Everybody who has a steady Job gets a continuous strcam of begging letters from relatives who are too temperamental to work. Everybody has an Aunt Jerusha or an Uncle Hiram who arrives self-invited and stays on for an endless visit, and who is 80 disagreeable that he or she sets thc whole family by the ears. Why we all stand these inflictions, heaven alone knows. because we are just too cowardly to defend ourselves. Probably Possibly because we are all still victims to the old superstition that we ought to be fond of our relatives, no matter how unlovely they are and-how they treat us So we continue to be the goats of the lazy, greedy, deadbeats, worthless, stingy Of course, the remedy for this is perfectly simple, and it is in our own hands if only we have the nerve to use if. It is merely to say “no” g00d and hard to the next request for money and to shut the door in the face of the next self-invited guest. Of course, this will make enemies of the panhandlers, for there is no wrath like that of the grafter who is foiled. But along with their dislike you have ydu haven't now. . EAR MISS DIX: were spent very happily and my nut | pulp o \f I have been married several years. won their respect, which is something DOROTHY DIX. The first few years husband was always nice and kind to me, but after a child was born to us his attitude changed. He has always been jealous of the child, seems to have no affection for her, and has become cold to me. Do you think there is a way of bringing back his love for g:a, and HOPEFUL. making him love the child? Answer: Many men are apt to be jealous of the flst child for a while, but this feeling usually wears off in a short time if the wife and mother has enough tact to handle the situation diplomatically. You see, up to the time the first baby comes, the husband has been the cock of the walk, the one on whom the wife expended her devotion, whom she flattered and caressed and tried to please. and husband is a deposed monarch. Wife neglects him. in him. She won't play with him any more. a slave to work. Then along comes King Baby She loses interest He is nothing but baby’s father, Can you wonder_that the man doesn’t enjoy having his nose put out of Jjoint, and that he is jealous of the little pink fist that knocked him out in the first round? Perhaps you made this mistake of being all mother, instead of being wife first and mother afterward. yourself to try her off to school for a year or two. If you did, retrieve your mistake and win your husband back again by turning the home spotlight on him. Devote ng to please him. And if your daughter is old enough, send That would be good for her in any case, and it would give her father a chance to miss her and find out that he loves her in spite of his jealousy. specific for all domestic problems of this nature. CRCRcaY The absent-treatment cure is a DOROTHY DIX. EAR DOROTHY DIX: Do you think it is right for a husband to belong to lodges and organizations, of which his wife is ignorant, and also to carry life insurance unbeknown to her? It seems to me a man has no business to belong to any order if his wife does not know it, as his dues have to be kept up and she should know where the money is going. WIFE. Answer: ‘Who makes the money, lady? Don’t you think that the man who ‘warks and earns a dollar has a right to spend a few cents of it on himself, in any way he pleases, without giving an account of it to his wife? Don’t you think that @ grown man who is old enough to be married has a right to join a lodge if he wants 1o, or to make any move whatever without . asking his wife's permission? Evidently your conception of a wife is a jailer, and it doesn’t take much of a Sherlock Holmes to deduce the fact that the reason why your husband doesn’t tell you what he does is because you nag the life out of him and begrudge him every penny that he spends on himself. 1 -believe that every husband and wife would like to be confidential with their wives and husbands, because we all like to talk over thin that we.are interested in;.but.that Decause their husbands and w by their fault-finding and criticisms.

Limitations. Hitherto- shalt thow come, but no further—Job 38:11. It is not only the Sea to which God has set limits. Everything has its limits; even hu- man nature. . And yet men will go on acting as if there were no end to their personal possibilities. One of the first signs of intellec- tual maturity is the recognition of limitations. ° The city feller may rather fancy himself in the garb of a cowboy. So far it is nothing but dressing up. But let him not forget that the work of a cowboy is only for him who has something in him which is Dot native to all men. The 250-poudnder wwill not make a distance runner; nor the 110-pounder a foot-baller. No man is yet found who can re- main continuously awake, or who can escape the need of foodwand drink. In reality, it is the part of cow- ardly egotism to refuse to recognize the 1imits of human nature, and in particular our own limitations. There is no need to be apologetic about such limitations as are inherent in your nature unless you are fail- ing to make the most of what possi- bilities you have. For the first step in overcoming limitations is to recognize them. Even if you can’t lift a rock with’ your arms and back kyou may have brains enough to use a lever. The result is the same.

Starting her writing career as so- clety editor of the Washington Her- aid, Natalie Lincoln quickly found routine work too tame for one of her creative trend of mind.

Miss Lincoln has also distinguished herself in her editorship of the D. A. R. Magazine, now of such importance to that organization. She finds her novel writing most absorbing, since she must work out all of her my; e8. to a logical conclusion before she attempts to write them. , Miss Lincoln suggests a novel way of serving chicken, which she de- <lares she has never seen employed, save in her mother's house, and which is in high favor with all friends who have had the opportun- ity to enjoy it. Place the pieces of fried chicken around the platter and in the center place three or four uncooked bananas in thin slices. Pour over chicken and bananas a white cream sauce very hot. This sauce slightly cooks the bananas and when the whole is gar- nished with parsley and served hot it makes a delicious and distinctly novel dish. (Copyright, 1924.) “JUST' HATS” BY VYVYAN.

What shall I do! Bread is so important.” Martha pricked up her ears at the word “important” and right away she wanted that job. “Do let me get the bread, Mother, if it’s important.” The grocery store where Martha’s mother bought Corby’s Bread every day was at the corner, and Martha did not need to cross streets, so her mother allowed her to go, although she had never before sent her to the store. “Be sure to ask for Corby’s Mother’s Bread, dear,” she said. So Martha went to the store and carried the loaf of Corby’s Mother’s Bread back very carefully and proudly. At dinnet, she tdld the vis- itors how she had bought the bread—that she had been care- ful to get Corby’s Mother’s Bread because everybody liked it best—and thdt she was go- ing to get the bread for the family every day. . 2 So now Martha goes for Corby’s Mother’s Bread every day, and is quite happy be- ause at last she has a really important task. u50P7iEt 1004 by The Osrky Baking Geo.,
