WOMAN'S PAGE. Two Styles of Tennis Headdress BY MARY MARSHALL. Probably one of the last of the aspirations of Helen Wills would be to be a setter of feminine -fashion. Nothing could be further from the ambition of the young tennis cham- plon. Possibly Suzanne Lenglen has # /4 %’j TENNIS HAT OF WHITE BANG- KOK HAS8 NARROW BRIM AT FRONT AND IS TRIMMED WITH BAND OF GROSGRAIN RIBBON. had some such ambition, but she never went about attaining it directly, Tennis has always come first, of course. But, willy nilly, these young women are looked upon as the §pon- sors for two rival fashions. There is the Lenglen bandeau and there's the amusing little cap that was In- spired by the eye shade introduced here by Helen Wills Lenglen has remained true to the bandeau which she wore to begin with. Recently this bandeau con- sisted of two ribbons, lighter and dark yellow, which were twisted and tied around her crown. You may prefer to wear the Helen Wills eye shade in its original form That may seem more sportsmanlike. You may, on the other hand, choose the bangkok hat that has evolved from it—a hat that looks at first sight as if it had been inspired by the jockey's cap with the narrow- pointed vizor in front to cast a shadow over the eyes without inter- fering with . the vision. To lend gaiety to this little hat there is a band of grosgrain ribbon round about it, which may be changed to suit the color scheme you choose. | Going hatless outdoors persists | despite the fact that really tashion- |able women seldom appear in_elty Streets or country lanes, in motor |ears or at country clubs in the day- time without some sort of head cov- ering. This doesn’t mean adding any uncomfortable weight to the head, | tor there are all sorts of lightweight hats for warm days. Bangkok is de- servedly popular for this reason, and there are curlous hats—if you can | call them that—that might be de- |scribed as being made of ‘large- mesh fish net, the strings of which strung with colored wooden The hair appears in the large between the bead-strung are beds places | strands.

WHEN WE GO SHOPPING BY The Popular Buckskin. The Indlans first introduced us to “buckskin,” for it is the prepared skin of the deer, and the material from which they made theilr moccasins, as well as other parts of their clothing. Buckskin or deerskin is a leather of fine qualities. It finishes with a soft surface, similar to suede, though firm- er and more durable. Unlike suede, buckskin is finished on the grain side of the leather. Its softness is ex- plained by the peculiar fibrous tex- ture. The natural color of buckskin is al most white. This is caused by sun bleaching. It comes to the market in pure white, and also in a great va. riety of tints. When buying it in the light colors, it is well to purchase some tint tablets or powder of the same shade to restore the color after being skuffed of cleaned Evidence of the desirable quality of buckskin Is found in its many imita- tions. Other skins are made up to Yook like buckskin by a “buffing” proc- PHistory of Dour Name BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOWLAN. ADDINGTON. RACIAL ORIGIN—English. SOURCE—A locality. This is another one of those English family names which are mere devel- opmenta of place names, and which, in thefr earlier use as family names, served to indicate the place from which the bearer had come, or with which he was in some special way connected, as if, for instance, he bore a feudal title connected with the place. There are today several ldcalities in England bearing this name, the most potable instances being in Kent, Northants and Surrey, all of which were in existence at the period in Which family names were being form- ed—that is to say, in the several cen- turies following the tenth. It must be remembered, however, fhat such a name as Addington would not naturally develop into a family name in the place of the same name, but rather in other localities, and would be given to persons who for- merly had lived in one of the Adding- tons mentioned.

This finish 1s put on the grain side of calf skin and cowhide, as well | 4s some other leathers. But, howevér |mauch the surface may appear like Dbuckskin, the genuine can always be distingulshed by its softer structure. The best grades of genuine btck- skin do not come from the skina pro- duced in North America, although Mexican skins are rated high. The deer: which grow in the United States and Canada are Iarger than those in other parts of the world, but the hide is proportionately coarse. South and Central America and China are the principal sources for the best leather of this type seen on our markets. The Chinese animals are smallest, produc- ing skins three feet and less in size, Although buckskin usually comes in e lighter colors, it can be effectively dyed to a dark brown or bluck. This is sometimes done after wearing for a while in the other color. Manufac- turers advise using a specially pre. pared suede dye, to get best results, because the texture is so different from the ordinary grain leather. Be- fore dyeing, the buckskin must be brushed thoroughly to remove all dust. powder and loose coloring matter. Liver in Brown Sauce.

It was & long, hard trip for the little boy. He had nothing to eat ex- cept the scraps the owner of the cart gave him. Only the thought of the wonderful city for which he was bound kept Dick’s courage up. After many days, when they finally reached the city, Dick was 80 excited he for- got all about his hunger and fatigue. He ran down one street and up another looking for the beautiful, wide streets of gold, but every street was dingler and dirtier than the last and they were paved only with rough old cobble stones. At last Dick could go no further. Weak, tired and disappointed, he sank down on a doorstep and wept. He did not know it was the doorstep of Mr. Fitzwarren, the richest merchant of all London.

Very favorable planetary aspects prevail tomorrow until late in the afternoon, after which they become rather adverse, with sluggish vibra- tions. Any proposition that you have in mind, and which has already re- ceived deliberate thought and been given careful attention, can be safely launched, and although the signs de- note success for any and all such forceful enterprises, those that are related to mining or real estate will be the most favored. In the late afternoon a review should be made of what has been accomplished during the early part of the day, and though a cessation of activities 18 not coun. seled, there should be a lessening of forceful aggressiveness. Self-control must be exerclsed to resist a tendency to impulsive speech or action. Children born tomorrow are prom- ised a more than fair share of good and vigorous health, although the signe denote that there is a probabil- ity of accident that enly watchful care will‘avold. In character and disposi- tion they will be very impulsive, de. monstratively affectionate, although jacking_in consistency and persist- ency. They will have the intention to accomplish great things, and mean to do so. Continuity of action will, how- ever, be wanting, and a task, just as soon as it presents diculties, will be abandoned for something of a more pleasurable nature. They will possess attractive personalities, but be prone at times, without rhyme or reason, to lose their tempers, which they should be taught to control. If tomorrow {8 your birthday, you possess initiative, originality and re. sourcefulness, never allowing yourself to be caught at a dlsadvantage. You are reasonable and moderately affectionate with members of your own family, but are exempt from those deep, passionate feelings which often hallow, and sometimes harrow, inti- mate relitionships. ‘Well known persona born on this aateé are: Oliver W.

K, Urges All Housekeepers to “Vacate” —Alone “Two Weeks With Pay” nDorothyDix Whatever Else You Wives and Mothers Do This Summer, Take Two Weeks Off, Then Realize the Charms of Home Life. MPLOYERS have found out that it pays to give those who work for them vacations., They come back to their jobs rested and refreshed, with renewed energy and interest, and put more punch into their work. Of all laborers on earth, none need vacations so much as do wives and mothe: No other work is so monotonous as theirs. None calls for such long hours. None is so nerve-wearing. By the time a woman has cooked a thousand and ninety-five regular meals, and got up a few extra lunches of sandwiches and bread and butter and cookies and sterilized milk, and made up a couple of thousand beds, and swept 10 square miles of floor, and pushed the baby perambulator around the world & couple of times, and hung up & million garments, and picked up 40 tons of newspapers off the floors, and cleaned up a bushel of cigarette ashes and stubs, and answered to the call of “m-o-0-o0-ther” a billion times, she is all in. She has a right to call it a year. She is tired enough to He down and die of sheer exhaustion. She is so worn out with cooking that she loathes the very sight of food. She is 50 'played out with the calls made upon her by her family that she feels as if she actually hates her husband and children, and envies every old maid who has nothing but u latchkey and a canary bird. And her overwrought body and mind voice their protest in peevishness and nagging that make her about as pleasant to live with as the fretful porcupine. HAT the woman needs is a vacation. A real vacation. She needs to go away by herself for a couple of weeks and leave husband and children behind her. If she took this sort of a vacation she would come back made over, with the worry wrinkles in her face ironed out and her nerves guieted down. She would tackle her housekeeping job with fresh pep and enthusiasm. Her children would 100k like angels to her instead of tormenting littie devils, and she would see her husband once more surrounded by a romantic halo. Half of the irritability, and temper, and unreason, and general cussedness of wives is due to their being worn out going round and round their deadly treadmills. It could be cured by a few days' rest and change. Any woman will tell you that her home never looks so good to her as when she has been away from it. Absence is equal to having it entirely refurnished and done over by an interior decorator. Ot course, the theory is—and some women are even foolish enough to believe it themselves—that a wife and mother can never get enough of her husband and children, and cannot be happy If she is separated from them even for a day. This Is rank nonsense. A woman is a human being as well | as a4 wife and mother, and she can get so fed up on overmuch of the society | of even those she loves best that she loses sight of her affection for them and is conscious only of how they burden her and of how she would like to be| tree of them for a while. [ There come times when the most domestic woman slumps in her house- | keeping, and can think of nothing but roast beef and potatoes to have for | dinner; when the most loving wife can see nothing in her husband but his faults and peculiarities; when the mother who would die for her children if it were necessary scolds them for everything they do until she makes their lives a burden to them. It is a timé when a woman grows morose and dallies with morbid thoughts about divorce and running away, and espousing a career in | the movies, and when her bewildered family wonder what is the matter | with her. o | HERE is nothing the matter with her except that she needs a vacation, and she needs to take it by her lonesome. For the very essence of her cure consists in her getting away from her husband and children, so that she may | get a new perspective on them. Khe has had a close-up of them too long. | She requires a distant view to bring out their charms and perfections. She needs to miss them in order to find out how Infinitely dear they are to her But we are so stupld and so ruled by hidebound, senseless conventions | that we don't see this. We give the woman who s worn put with too much | home, too much husband, too much children an overdose of tHe same medicine | by way of a Summer tonic. Instead of sending the housewife who is worn out with too much codking and housekeeping to a boarding house or a hotel, where she will have the luxury of eating meals she has not even ordered, we double the burden of housekeeping on her by taking her to a Summer coftage, where her work is far harder than it IS at home, because she lacks the home conveniences. Also, we give her a treat by having her tag along the children, who are 10 times harder to manage than they are at home, where they have all of their playthings and their accustomed playmates. And we make it obligatory on the poor soul who is satiated with husband's kociety to take her vacation with him, though men and women virtually never want to go to the same places or do the same things, and he is as tired of her company as she is of his. T Wherefore 1 urge all married women to use a little common sense about taking their vacation and, whatever they may do the balance of the Summer, to insist on having two weeks to themselves. They will be better house. keepers, better wives and bétter mothers the remainder of the year if they do. | And far, far more agreeable to live with. DOROTHY DIX. { 1 Imports Old Clothes.
