WOMAN’S PAGE. BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. TR THIS DAINTY DOLL WHO MAKES IN LARGER SIZE IF YOU SE The little old-fashioned debutarte who makes her bow to vou today in the illustration is a useful damosel. She will serve vou in a most pleasing manner, if vou send for her and do what the directions dictate. And when yvou have done as requested the little miss will be ready to be pre- sented to the girl graduate. ‘o some kindly hostess, or friend. or she will wadit patiently for the holidavs be- fore being presented. You will have discovered she is a gifted girl whose gifts are clearly to be seen though cleverly disposed about h She 1s sure of a cordial and appreciative welcome. Fortunately her costume may be inexpensive though none the less dainty. If you choose, however, the costume may be costly. In either instance it is made of handkerchieis, which you know vary enormously in price from the lawn ones that come at a few cents each 'to those of choice real lace that oftén cost hundreds of dollars apiece. This debutante is apt to appear in less costly but smart ap- parel. Complete Costume. One, two or three handkerchiefs form a complete costume, By cutting slits as indicated in the pattern with a sharp knife in the cardboard from which the doll is made, a panier skirt can be fashioned with two ker- chiefs. By folding one kerchief diag- onally a shawl can be made to wrap around her shoulders. Directions for folding the handkerchief come with the pattern doll' which is larger than the one vou see in the paper today. ‘The shawl alone can be used, the paniers alone or both together. In the last case three kerchiefs are needed. How to Make the Doll. The doll should be traced from the pattern on to stiff cardboard. Then she should be tinted with water col- ore. Use flat washes and do not try | to shade the colors. Put them on in | light tones. The hair may be blonde, dark or auburn. The skin a delicate pink.

As he sat there he noticed a butterfiy_resting quietly on a flower just a little way from him. He was soraly tempted to race over there in just the way he had been racing about, but just in time he thought to use -his head. “I do be- lieve,” said he to himself, “I have been frightening those butterflies by racing after them so. I'll see if I can just steal up to this one.” So slowly, carefully Peter stole through the grass toward that resting butterfly. Nearer and nearer he drew.

How to Get the Doll. Inclose a. self-addressed and stamped envelope with a request for Miss Dolly Handkerchief and direct to Lydia Le Baron Walker, care of this paper, and a full:sized doll pattern with explicit directions for making will be sent without charge. Write promptly as requests are coming in already following the announcement made last week that she would be ready for this invitation to go to you. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS that any butterflies carried perfume with them. But he had to make sure. That is why he had wasted so much time chasing them. Would that butter- fly wait for him to get close? Peter fairly held his breath as he got within reach. Then slowly, carefully, he stretched out his head until his nose, that funny, wabbly nose of his, almost touched the butterfly. Then Peter suddenly kicked up his heels and frightened the butterfly. “Why," cried Peter, “that butterfly has perfume! Its just as sweet as sweet can be.” If ever there was a surprised Rab- bit, it was Peter Rabbit. He raced after that butterfly, lipperty-lipperty- lip, as fast as he could go. He wanted to make sure that he had not been mistaken. But the butterfly flew, flitter-flutter- flitter, and Peter couldn’t catch up with it. He had to glve up. But pretty soon he saw ai other butterfly at rest and, remem- bering how he had stolen up on the other, he tried the same plan again. Again he was successful and brought his wabbly little nose close to that butterfly. But this time there was no perfume. To make sure, Peter sniffed 8o hard he scared the butterfly. But there wasn't a particle of perfume, Then Peter was puzzled. Yes, sir, Peter was puzzled. “It must be that that other butter- fly had some perfume clinging to it which it had obtained from the flowers,” said Peter right out aloud. “Buzz-z-2-2-2-2, nothing of the sort. Peter Rabbit; nothing of the sort,” said a voice right in his ear. It was Lady Bumblebee. ‘“Butterflies do not take the perfume from flowers.” “Then why should one have such nice perfume and the other have none at all?” asked Peter. “Because Old Mother Nature makes them that way,” replied Lady Bumble- bee. ‘“‘Some have perfume and some do mnot; but those that do, have a perfume that is all their own. It isn't taken from any flowers, though it smells much like the perfume of flow- ers. Do you see that butterfly over there?” Peter nodded. course I see it.” “Well, go smell of it,” said Lady Bumblebee. “You'll find that it has perfume.” Peter stole over there. Sure enough, it was another perfumed buttterfly.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. "C. SUB ROSA BY MIMI. Too Good at Games. Yes, there are girls in the world who are too good at games. It's the greatest thing in the world to be athletic, healthy, vigorous; but it’s bad policy to go too far in this di- rection. Gwen started out in life with in- struction in tennis, golf, swimming and riding. She was, at 16, a perfect fiend at games of all sorts. She did every- thing well and people admired her for it. But she wasn't long satisfied with being merely good at games. She longed to be an expert. To this end she practiced her golf and tennis continuously, mastering Pa{‘h stroke carefully and systemati- cally. She learned every kind of trick dive in the world, and perfected her “crawl” until she could outdistance most anybody. But once she'd achieved almost ab- solute perfection in every sport, she found to her dismay that she wasn't jhalf the riot with the boys she ought to be. It never occurred to her that her very proficiency in every line of ath. letic effort kept the men away-—— All the boys her own age or even older were ashamed of displaying their inferior skill to her. What man, do you suppose, likes to play tennis with a girl and have her make him look Ilike a 10-year-old schoolboy ” How can a man feel a protective, tender affection for a strapping Ama- zon who plows through the water like a giant speedboat, and leaves him panting in the distance? No, the men didn't fall for Gwen. She made them feel too small, too wei to oinsignificant. They were much more interested in Adeline. Adeline knew just enough about sports to be good in all of them. And she knew just enough : - to be ‘80 good tha # quished them in any they played with her. She wasn't tiresomely ineflicient and ignorant. But neither was she hope- Tessly and embarrassingly perfect Although she put up a good stiff fight at any sport, she was usually beaten by some strong he-man. And the big he-man finished the game thoroughly pleased with himself and consequeptly with his fair op ponent. So, while you're on yvour vacation don't show vourself so expert at any game as to emba 3 and annoy the man who's playing or racing with vou. It sounds unimportant—but many girls have lost the chance of a real romance just because they made a man respect and fear their prowe: However trivial it seems, the ness of letting a man feel himself su- perfor in strength to his fair lady is very important. Once you've made a man feel a weakling, he’ll never quite forgive you. The girl who's tactful enough to let herself be defeated at sports is more successful with men than the all- conquering athletic heroine. dopyrignt. 1926.) HOME NOTES BY JENNY WREN. Only a few short months ago radio sets were decorative handicaps before which many a home-maker with art- istic aspirations went down to bitter defeat. They were so crude. in ap- { pearance and there seemed to be such a dismaying amount of “litter” that went with them—batteries of assorted varieties, wires, aerials and what not. But now the radio manufacturers have designed new and very compact sets, which are a distinct addition to the good appearance of the living room. The set shown is entirely in- cased in the little mahogany box, which stands on . the slender-legged table. The only aerial is the one which projects from the top of the box, and there are no external bat- teries or wires of any sort with which to contend. (Copsright. 1926.) Lessons in English BY W. L.

A medical treatise written in 1523 by Laurence Fries, a physician of that tar-away date, has just been found in Strassburg. This doctor believed that a race of mental supermen might be made to loom up in the country by | proper dieting Dr. Fries 400 years ago gave his views, about what brain workers should eat. He suggested “fried fowl, fresh poached eggs (not boiled, fried or scrambled), apples, quinces, hazel nuts and red wine.” He was strictly against the eating of red meats, for he believed they would develop physi- cal strength at the sacrifice of mental development. Today one of the great questions agitating people who are concerned with proper eating is, “Shall I eat meat?" For those normal beings who are not burdened with a special disease which cuts meat entirely from the diet, a moderate indulgence in good red meat, and white meat, too, seems to do no harm. However, meat is not an essen- tial food by any means. Since the World War meat eating has been cut down to some extent. For the average family eats meat but once a day at the principal meal. This is plenty. In fact, two or three times a week is often enough for many people. It is also best not to drink milk at the same meal with meat eat- ing. Meat is an acid-forming food. Milk, though it has a slight alkaline reaction, is a protein food, and the two heavily laden proteins taken to- My Neighbor Says: A bit of white starch moist- ened into & paste and applied to & grease spot on an otherwise clean hlouse will prove a useful ally, and so will fuller's earth, Both must be left on till dry. ‘brushed off, the marks will have disappeared.

From statistical gathered by Sherman. it appears that about 40 per cent of the sum spent vearly for food goes for meat, poultry. fish and shellfish. Housewives will perhaps say the very high cost of meat is the reason so much money goes to the butcher. Overindulgence in meat eating is bad. Many {ll effects are the penance for this sin. Meat is a protein or body building food. Too much protein overtaxes the kidneys. The body is only able to take care of about 2 ounces of protein ‘a day. A larger supply than that amount lays a bur- den on the waste department. In animals, the vitamins are chiefly stored in the liver and kidnevs. The remaining flesh is rather short on vitamins. Lime is almost entirely stored in the hones. Most of the iron {s in the blood. However, in slaughtering the animal most of this iron is lost. According to Sherman so small a quantity is left that an ounce of beefsteak contains no more iron than an ounce of spinach. Whole- wheat bread, figs, dates and many other common vegetable foodstuffs contain as much or more iron than does meat, and the iron is of better quality. But the amount and quality of the protein which animal foods (milk, eggs and meat) supply is superior to the protein of most vegetable foods. Sedentary workers who do not show much muscular exertion do not re- quire as much body building foods to replace worn-out tissues as, for in- stance, a growing boy would need.

They are so much in love that they do not stop to con- sider the consequences, and it isn't until later that Jean discovers her mother-in-law must make”her home with them. Mrs. Morgan has taken a dislike to Jean and is constantly extolling her oun daugh- ter, Florence. Flor is bored with her husband and fancies her- sel) ia love with Merton Thorne, a college senior. Jean has known Merton before her marriage. and Mry. Morton thinks he is still in- terested in her. She succeeds in planting the seed of jealousy in Conrad’s heart. Florence and Cyn- thia Eldredge plan to drive out to the Red Lion Tavern, a place with a guestionable reputation. Merton and Andy Patterson are to take them. It happens that on the same night Jean goes to Boston to see an old school friend. and is there- fore away from home. In the aft- ernoon Florence, unfortunately, makes an encmy of her maid, Kifty. who also has a date to go to the Red Lion Tavern. The police break into the place, but the boys succeed in getting the girls out through a window. Florence is sure, however, that Kitty has rec- ognized her. CHAPTER XLIIL In the Night.

The sound of the door bell echoing through the silent house brought her to a sitting position. Her heart was beating in her throat as she reached for her dressing gown and threw it around her. The next moment ehe was out of bed and opening the door into the hall. Cynthia, in bathrobe and slippers, was going downstairs. Florence hung over the balustrade as Cynthia opened the outer door. There a murmur of voices, and then whoever had rung the bell came into the hall. Who could it be at this hour of the night” And then, Florence caught a familiar intonation, her heart leaked sickenly. It was Richard! She stood there trembling while Cynthia snapped on the lights in the living room and then came swiftly up. irs.
