"WOMAN’S PAGE. Improved Waterproof Materials BY MARY MARSHALL. It 1s only within comparatively re- cent years that the fashionable wom- en of Paris have thought of going outdoors in the rain.

If it was neces- sary for a woman of fashion to go from one place to another she rode in a coach or was carried in a chair. Ordinary folk simply went out in the rain as many a poor French working woman does now—depending on stout ‘woolen clothes to keep the rain from chilling her too much. Of course rubber and other waterproof mate- rials are comparatively recent inno- vations. Nowadays there are very few fash- fonable French women who stay in- doors on account of the rain. They don’t even stay within the shelter of their motor cars. They pride them- selves on being able to brave showers without impairment of good looks and smart appearance. This cannot be done without much forethought, however. ‘Within the past decade there have been amaz- ing strides in the manufacture of wa- terproof materials. There is hardly a fabric that cannot be had in a wa- terproof verston. There is water- proof crepe de chine, satin and taf- feta, besides'a variety of light-weight waterproof cloth fabrics suitable for Summertime wear. The weather that pravailed during the first weeks of the Summer stim- ulated the making of attractive rainy-day clothes. Some of the most important of the races were run on days when rain was more prevalent than sun and the women who were happiest on those occasions were those who wore clothes really in- tended for the rain—but gay and cheerful and smart nevertheless. The sketch shows a Summer raincoat of navy blue waterproofed taffeta, trim- med with gold kid and a flower also of gold kid. The blue felt hat has a gold kid band. (Copyright. 1926.) MENU FOR A DAY.

RAWSON, JR. Hessians Have a Scare. NEW YORK, July 30, 1776.—A straggler from the British army on Staten Island who was taken by our troops a few days ago at Elizabeth- town Point. was brought into camp this afternoon. He is an American and was pressed into the King’s serv- ice last year and sent to England by Lord Dunmore, then brought back as a sallor in Sir Peter’'s fleet and com- pelled to fight against his country at Charleston, S. C., on June 28, when the southern militia drove off the eneny fleet. He reports that Sir Peter Parker said that he never saw such courage as Colonel Moultrie’s South Carolin- {ans showed in their defense of Sulli- van’s Island on that occasion, and that in the hottest part of the action a cannon ball passed so near Sir Peter’s coat tall as to tear it off, together with his clothes, clear to the buff. The straggler says that just before the thunderstorm we had week be- fore last, the British troops on Staten Island were preparing straw effigies of Generals Washington, Lee and Put- nam and of Dr. Witherspoon of New Jersey, with the intention of burning them in the night. The effigles had all been erected on a pile of fagots, the generals facing Dr. Witherspoon, who was represented in the act of reading @ patriotic address. All of the figures, except that of General Washington, had been tarred and prepared for the feathers in readiness for the burning, when the storm came on and obliged the troops to find shelter. Later in the evening, when the storm was over, a large body of the soldiers gathered around the figures HOME NOTES BY JENNY WREN. l Have you ever seen an artist set up beside his easel a piece of cardboard ‘with an oblong opening cut out of it to frame a bit of landscape he intended transferring to his canvas? A very similar use can be made of lattice work by leaving in it an opening that will frame some pleasant view. The wisteria-hung lattice at the 'end of this porch frames a view of distant, tree-topped hills. And because this round opening suggests a bit of old Japan, the furnishings of the porch were carried out in the Oriental taste. The floor is of blue stone and the Chinese Chippendale chairs and settee are lacquered a glowing red. The color effest of the whole porch is as gay atye Japanese umbrella. 1 (Covyright. 1926.1 | l fl L‘Jmi' which were then set on fire amidst the most terrible imprecations against the American “rebels.” One of the party, Seeing that Generals Putnam and Lee and Dr. Witherspoon burned furiously, while General Washington was stili standing, ran away frightened and was soon followed by most of his com- panions. The next morning General Wash- ington’s figure was found as good as ever it was; a fact which caused a good deal of fear among the Hessian troops, most of whom are very super- stitious, and it was not until after some of the officers told them the cause of its not burning that they ap- peared contented. The reason was that, having no tar upon it before the rain commenced, General Washing- ton's effigy became saturated with the rain and would not burn. (Copyright, 1926.)

I M i ‘u1 i "‘blii‘igw,i F!I " i : THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., | [The Daily Cross-Word Puzzle SUB ROSA BY MIMIL Too Strong on Etiquette. There are many useful books writ- ten these days putting girls right about various little soclal customs which make it easier for them to mingle with strangers—to fulfill any social duties which fall to their lot. Lots of my readers tell me they take these books as guides, study them diligently, learn them by Heart, so that there will be no situation in which they'll find themselves at a loss as to what to do. That's all right. Go ahead and learn all the rules for polite conduct you can. But don’t let yourself de- velop into such a pathetic specimen as Gertrude. Gertrude was a normal, healthy, sensible young person until she got a bad attack of etiquette—it has nearly succeeded in killing her off. She had thought that she was living a well ordered existence, but when she started reading the sacred pages of her guide to good manners she suddenly got wise to the fact that she’d been struggling along in the dark ages. Thousands of things she'd been doing every day of her life without realizing that they were, all of them, the worst sort of social mis- takes. And her friends! She shuddered when she thought of those poor, un- civilized friends of hers. How many times had she seen Elsie draw the spoon toward herself instead of pushing it away when drinking soup! How many times she herself had sat down to the table without notic- ing which side of the chair she started from. How often she'd gone out to din- ner and, not caring for a heavy meal, had ordered just a simple salad! ‘What must all of her man friends have thought of her? Then she started worrying about them, too. Why, half of the men shke knew didn’t do things the way they should be done at all. They picked things off the floor when she dropped them, without waiting for an attendant to do the act. They let her do her own ordering of dinner, instead of tact- fully suggesting have, if she cared to. Gertrude decided that there must be a great change. From that time forth she went about with a watch- ful, cautious eye, determined that no one in the world should find fault with her conduct. And, at the same time, she kept noticing new flaws in her friends’ manners. Also her par- ents began to bother her with their carelessness about the really im- portant matter of eating properly. So she came to be almost obsessed with this etiquette business. Her enjoyment of many affairs was mar- red by her constant watchfulness lest she slip up. She gave so much time and thought to what she should and should not do that she missed most ?f the good time she had started out or. Good manners are Iimportant. They should become part ofpous, 80 that we display them quite uncon- sciously. 7 We shouldn’t think about them so continuously that they’re an obses- sion with us.

Galileo and the Pendulum ? ‘The great physicist, Galileo, was sitting in church listening to a long sermon on which he could not keep his mind. He noticed that an incense pot was swinging on a very long chain from the dome of the cathedral. He wanted to find out whether, as the swinging gradually slowed down, it took as long for the pendulum to travel rapidly through a long arc. as to travel slowly through a small arc. He proved that the time was the same, but how did he do it in church, with no watch to time the swing by? The answer is so simple that nobody but a genius would have thought of it. He put his finger on his pulse and counted off the intervals of time by his heart beats. Now what do you know about that? Answers to Yesterday’s Questions. 1.

The girl who kmows “how to get herself up” is usually the one who appreciates the value of frivolous touches to her costume, and_knows how to make use of them. For in- stance, there is a craze for wearing a tiny bunch of artificlal flowers, made of shell, wool, silk or any at- tractive material. If she has blue eyes, she'll always manage to have a bunch of forget-me-nots or corn- flowers, or something a shade bluer than her eyes, on the shoulder of her evening frock or the lapel of her coat. If she has brown eyes, shell manage something in vellow and brown—even though Nature doesn’t grow fresh brown flowers! If she is sallow and pale, she'll get a vivid spot of color into those bouquets, which will lend its warmth and gayety to her face. There are lots of other frivolous touches. Pleatings, for instance, as edgings to collars and cuffs and along the front of a blouse add a piquancy to a costume, consequently to its wearer. The few really good dress designers know the value of fine net laces with a bold design in thread through them, for frills to soften a costume around the face. But not many women nearing middle age know how such a touch will take years away from them. The girl who knows how to get her- selt up, knows line and color. She wears few colors, but makes many combinations of those few, so every- ou will ht. 1926.) . Bank employe. . Greek letter. . Atmosphere. . Doctor (slang). . Inclines the head. 3. Myself. 5.

Brushing also tends to pack the hair and make it straight unless there is a decided tendency to curliness.

At 2 o'clock that afternoon Mona swept into her husband's office. After her scene with Barry, she had sent Leila on an errand that would keep her out of the house the rest of the afternoon. Then she had tele- phoned Richard and told him that she must speak to him at once. Miss Barclay, the efficient secretary who guarded Richard’s inner room, rose to her feet with a smile. She stood in awe of the beautiful Mrs. Kingsley with her imperious manner and she ushered her at once into Rich- ard's presence. He rose to his feet as Mona entered and she dropped exhaustedly into the chair that he placed for her. “The most awful thing has hap- pened,” she began excitedl: fancies himself in love with Leila. He wants to marry her. Did you ever hear of anything so absurd? I've just had the most awful scene with him, but he's too infatuated to listen to reason.” Richard’'s piercing blue eyes rested casually on Mona's exquisite face. His volce was very quiet as he spoke. I know,” he said evenly. “Barry has been here. He seems very de- termined. It's the first time I have ever seen him like this. I'm begin- ning to have some hope for him."” Mona drew a long breath. “Richard, are you mad?

You must bring the boy to his senses.” Richard’s qulet self-possession, hi: appearance of having secret though's that she did not share was maddenin: to Mona. Why did he sit there drav ing rectangles on a piece of paper a though his son’s future were not a stake. She felt at that moment as if she hated him. If only he would sav something! And then at last he spoke. “What makes you think that Leila 1d marry Barry?” “What makes me think so? Oh. Richard, why will you persist in be ipg so infuriating’ Why wouldn’t she want to marry him? He has every thing that would attract any girl, es pecially one in Leila’s position. This is what she has wanted from the first Ever since she entered the house she has been planning for it."” “I doubt that very much, and you must remember, too, that you are largely responsible for what has hap- pened. The girl is unusually pretty. You took delight in that fact when you engaged her, and yet you might have known that Barry was susceptible.” “I didn't—I didn't- Mona was wringing her hands. “Well, don’t worry too much abecut it,” Richard went on calmly. “So far as I know the girl's wishes haven't been considered. As far as I am con- cerned, however, I think it might be W word. “Do you realize what you are saying? You must be mad or else vou've fallen in love with the girl yourself. She seems to be quite a personality in our household. Evi- dently things have been going on right under my eyes and I have been too blind to see what was hap- pening.” Mona’s voice was shaking: The faint pink of her skin had deepened to an angry flush, but Richard's con- temptuous laugh broke in on her anger. “You're letting your imagination run away with you, Mona, and, of course, you wouldn't be charitable enough to judge the girl fairly. In- stead of making things easy for her, vou've humiliated her unnecessarily from the day she entered the house. Of course, it's none of my affair. You engaged her. But if Barry is in love with her and wants to marry her, I shall not oppose it. He'll be lucky to. get a girl like that, but as I said before I'm not at all sure that she would consider it. She doesn't strike me as the kind of girl who would marry for money.” (Copyright. 1926.) (Continued in Tomorrow’s Star.) . Preserved Pears.
