WOMA Black Velvet H: BY MARY PARIS. S0 much has been sald recently gbout the increasing good sense of fashions that we are on the verge of LARGE BLACK VELVET HATS ARE WORN ON WARM SUMMER DAYS WITH SHEER FROCKS. Thelieving that really fdolish fashions e a thing of the past. Tight stays, Lustles, hoops, skin-tight sleeves, Valloon sleeves, trains, high, tight collars—all these painful = fashions have gone, seemingly forever. -But here and there one does find some relic of the old trick of wearing un- comfortable clothes in the name of i There is just enough of sort of thing left to keep us from feeling that the millennium of clothes has begun. So it is that just at present when the sun’s rays are scorching us all we seem to find a certain satisfac- tion in wearing black velvet ha hats considerably warmer and more se that most of us when they are combined sheer frock for afternoon wear or with a summery sport frock. Then there is that marked contrast which is always interesting. Of course, these velvet hats are warm for Midsummer, but the truth is that for velvet hats they are of fairly light weight. ‘hey are made with no frame, or with the lightest sort of under structure.

Milliners mow delight in the most plastic of -mate- rials. They work like sculptors— bending, twisting, molding, shaping thelr materials into the desired shapes. (Copyright. 1926.) MENU FOR A DAY.

YORK, July 31, 1776.—The military and naval forces recently assembled off South Carolina and on June 28 failed to force an entrance into Charleston Harbor, have arrived here and joined Gen. Howe and Admiral Howe. Gens. Clinton and Cornwallis command the armies and Sir Peter Parker is com- modore of the newly arrived fleet. Nothing now remains to make the British party in New York complete except the arrival of the troops from Canada under Sir-Guy Carleton and Gen. Burgoyne. There is little like- lihood that Carleton and Burgoyne will get as far south as this city this wear, if they ever do. But even as matters stand now, the enemy-forces alread aboard ship pr which one. ent and fit for duty in New York number 10,514 men. This represents a gain of only 195 men in the last two weeks. Those absent on account of sickness number about 2,000. Despite - his great disadvantage in numbers, Gen. Washington is cheer- ful and even hopeful. He is tighten- ing up his discipline, strengthening his fortifications in New York, Brook- Iyn and the Jerseys, keeping a sharp A. RAWSON, JR. eve on the Tories, and working in close harmony with the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut legis- latures. Live stock on the Jersey coast which is in danger of falling into the hands of the enemy is to be driven inland as has already been proposed on Long Island. Shortage of funds is quite as seri- ous as the shortage of soldiers. A few days ago the General loaned to the New York convention $20,000 out of the $60,000 he then had in his war chest, for their use “to defeat the wiched designs of the enemy and such disaffected persons as may in- cline to assist and facilitate their views.” He says that if he had pos- sessed money enough to pay his own troops in full, he would not have felt that he could make this loan to New York; but that since it would not have been proper to pay a part but not the whole of his own troops, he felt free to loan a portion of his available cash to New York. Besides the shortage of soldlers and the all but empty treasury, there is also a great deficiency of powder and shot. Yet the New York convention has felt obliged to give to the Tus- carora Indians a quantity of powder, lead and flints which the redmen re- quested in return for their assurances of their peaceable disposition.

Acquaintance goes before friendship, but by no means are all of your ac- quaintances your friends. Reddy Fox is one who has many acquaintances, but few friends. People who are sharp and think themselves smart, and who perhaps really are smart, are likely to have few friends, but many acquaintances. Reddy never misses a chance to make an acquaint- ance, for he long ago learned that sometimes acquaintances may be very useful. § 4 Every night after his first sight of SEEING HIM SO NEAR, SOMEHOW REDDY DIDN'T FEEL SO AN:X- IOUS TO BECOME ACQUAINTED. Barker the Seal, Reddy visited the place on the beach where the rocks were and where they made out into the water. For several nights he saw nothing more of Barker. ““He probably was just resting there that night,” thought Reddy, as he made his way down to the rocks just] after gentle mistress Moon had begun her nightly climb up among the twinkling stars. “Probably I'll never “see him again. Just the same, F ;hould like to get acquainted with him. " v Reddy stopped abruptly.: For a mo- ment he could only stare.‘ On a flat rock almost within jumping. distance |, from the shore was the stranger him-| self. Seeing him'so near, somehow Reddy didn’t feel so anxlous to be- come acquainted. It was the stranger o spoke first. “Hello!” said he, *“Who are you?” “I'm Reddy Fox. Who are you?" replied Reddy. “I'm Barker the Seal,” sald the stranger, who looked very sleek ant glistening in the moonlight. Reddy put on his politest air. You know he can §§ very polite when he W. BURGESS wants to be. “I am pleased to know you,” said he. “You don’t know me,"” Barker rather gruffly. “I'm pleased to make your ac- qualntance,” Reddy corrected- himself hastily. “That's different. I'm glad to make yours,” replied Barker. “If you please, Mr. Seal, where do you live?” Reddy asked. Barker stared at Reddy so long and so hard that Reddy began to fee! un- comfortable. “Where do you suppose I live?” he demanded in his gruffest voice. “I haven't the least idea; truly 1 haven' Reddy hasteried to say. “You see, this is only the second time I have seen you. I thought I knew everybody who lives on this part of the shore.” “Shore!” snorted Barker. ‘*“Shore! Do yow think I live on the shore? I should say not. I live in the sea.” Then for the first time Reddy no- ticed that Barker had no legs. At least, they were not like any legs Reddy had ever seen. Where his front legs should have been, accopding to Reddy's idea, were what looked like two paddles. He had no hind feet. That is, Reddy thought he had no hind feet. When he moved, he flopped about' on the rock. No one who flopped about like that could .make much of a success living on shore. But it was equally hard.for Reddy to imagine anybody but a fish living in the water all the time. “are you a sort of fish?”’ he inquired. “No!" snorted Barker, and looked more indignant than ever. “Fish, in- deed! I'm no more of a fish than you are, but I live in the sea just the same.” replied (Covyright. 1926.) 1 ; i|You. w.i“ mtybe Fmd ouvt BY FANNY Y. CORY Today is my birfday—I'm free goin’ on four.

What Tomorrow Means to You BY MARY BLAKE. Tomorrow's planetary aspects are fairly favorable, although & shortly after sunset they become overcast and gloomy. The signs indicate that cus- tomary Sunday observances and recre- ations can be profitably indulged in and will yleld that contentment and happiness which can be reasonably expected. There may happen tomor- row an event of an unexpected and a surprising nature. It will not be, however, of a displeasing character. Although in the evening there will be sensed a temptation to become_ cap- tious and grochy, this can easily be overcome by the exercise of a small modicum of self-control and the de- termination to do and say nothing that will mar what can otherwise be made “a perfect day.” Children born tomorrow will be in- herently strong and exuberantly healthy. As a natural result of their freedom from sickness, they will be venturesome and always disposed to “take a chance,” and herein lies their one great danger. Only accident will prevent them achieving a vigorous and healthy adulthood. They will in disposition be boisterous, but never unkind. In all scholastic gatherings they will be leaders, as their popular- ity will excel that of all their asso- ciates. They will be artistic and tal- ented and quick and restless by na- ture, and their impulsiveness will sometimes lead them to err, but never in a vicious manner. If tomorrow is your birthday anni- versary, you take great thought of “what you should eat and what you should wear,” -and are in every sense of the word fastidious, and also have a reputation for being vain. At times you are ultra-conservative and exces- sively cautious. At other times your thoughts are radical and you are ven- turesome to the verge of foolhardi- ness. Difficulties never faze you, and you invariably display great resource- fulness in “getting out of -a hole” that would engulf another not gifted with the same consciousness of self- confidence. You are erratic, but in your working mbments can accom plish much that is useful and profit- able. Out-of-door life and sport have a great attractidh for you, and travel affords you, owing to your observant nature, a vast amount of pleasure, and is, moreover, of great educational ad- vantage. Your disposition is affec- tionate, and children make a special appeal to you. In your home life you are kind and gentle, although your fussiness at times grates on the nerves of others. ‘Well known people born on that date are Richard Henry Dana, jurist and author; Maria Mitchell, astrono- mer; Herman Melville, author; Gilbert C. Walker, Governor of Virginia; Rob- ert T. Lincoln, statesman, and Morris Hillquist, Socialist and lawyer. ~ (Copyrizht. 1926.) What Do You Know About It? Daily Science Six. . What is the pancreas? .

I am constantly belng bitten on the neck or arms by some kind of pest. The bite is as large as a small pin head and red. It doesn't itch. I am sure it is a bite. Is there .anything you could tell me to' do to feel per- fectly clean?” Answer—The first thing that occurs is prickly heat. This might be mis- taken for a bite, and so might hives, which is due to your diet, and means that you are eating something which is “poison” to your system and causes you to break out. Or it is possible that your bed is in- fected with bedbugs and that these | | pests are feasting on you during your sleep. I should take a look at the bed for safety, anyway. Apply diluted ammonia (household ammonia is usually about the right strength) to the bites. This will be the wrong.thing if the so-called bites -fare ‘hives or prickly -heat: = So, you see, advice about doubtful bites or rashes is usually pretty much a mat- ter of guess, and one can’t be espe- cially helpful. 4 LA S Shall He Marry His Super-Selfish Fiancee?—The Girl Whose Future Husband Has No Job and Must Borrow Money for the Wedding. DEAR MISS DIX: Tam engaged to be marrled to a girl who says that she would die if she were parted from me, but we cannot agree on anything. The things I like to do she can't bear to do and the things she wants te do bore me to death. We don’t even lik. the same things to eat. Do _you think this girl 1s fooling herself and me in thinking that she loves me? ‘Will we be heppy if we get marrled, or will we go through life quarreling Axxdiflxgtlng? Answer—A girl like that never loves but one person in the world, and that is herself. Her affection for other people is measured by just exactly how much’ they can do for her pleasure and comfort,and when their wills cross hers she, sacrifices them without a pang of compunction, She Is so sublimely selfish that she never even suspects herself of being selfish, because she cannot concelve of any human being having any rights that interfere with her august pleasure. That type of woman is fond enough of her husband as long as he is a slave to her and a good money-maker, but she uses the whip when he dares to rebel against her authority, and she divorces him when he can no longer give her pearls and limousines, If 1 were & man I should consider long and prayerfully before I married a girl who always picked out the places we went to; who never noticed when I was tired or half-sick or cared how much anything cost that she wanted to do, If she didn’t consider my preferences and my pleasure and my comfort before her own in the days of courtship I should know that I would run a mighty bad second to her after we were married. Nor should I pick out for a wife a girl whose taste and mine were dia- metrically opposite, for the Jack Spratt arrangement in which the husband can eat no fat and the wife can eat no lean doesn't work out as harmoniously in real life as it did in the nursery rhyme. Above every other quality- that makes for matrimonlal felicity I put congeniality. It doesn’t really matter much what @ man and woman are or what they do, 5o long as they think alike and have the same ideals and enjoy: the same things. It is when a hushand and wife differ that they quarrel and fight. Two Peter Pans can.be perfectly happy together accepting all of the responsibil- ities of life and letting the future take care of itself. Two thrifty go-getters can. have a good time building up a fortune together. Two, gay, pleasure-lov- ing people can make life a perpetual picnic together. Two church-goers can make matrimony a long doxology that they sweetly sing in tune as a duet. But the trouble comes in when the practical man marries the impractical woman; when the ambitious woman marries the shiftless man; when the pleasure-loving man finds he is tied for life t6 Alice-sit-by-the-fire; when the puritanical wife tries to reform her rounder husband. Then ructions ensue and Cupid packs up his little kitbag and leaves for parts unknown. After all, the people we love to the end of the chapter, the people we enjoy being with, the people who never get on our nerves are those who think as we do, who are interested in the same subjects, and who like the same style of cooking that we like. So my advice to you, A. E. C,, is to let this antagonistic person go and hunt for a girl who thinks the same jokes funny that you do and who always says “‘same for me” when you order caviar or corned beef and cabbage at a restaurant. DOROTHY DIX. DR DEAR MISS DIX: I am in love with a man whom I am going to marry in a few weeks, but who has no money and is not even working. He says that he will borrow from his brother enough to get married on and that he is sure to get a job before long. He is so devoted to me that I cannot doubt his love, but T wonder what we will live on. The date for our wedding has been postponed on account of lack of money so often that I am ashamed to reset it. I can't stand the gossip of our friends and relatives. WHAT'LL I DO? Answer—It doesn't take any prophet to tell what you will do. You will repent this foolish marriage in bitterness and tears. And vou will wonder many a time and oft why you let the clacking of the tongues of your friends and relatives drive you into doing a thing that every particle of common sense you have warned you against doing. If you are so sensitive about the opinion of your acquaintances, why don’t you stop all talk at once by telling the truth, and saying that the rea- son why you are putting off your marriage is that you hold yourself too high to throw yourself away on a ne’er-do-well, and that you will never marry any man who has not a good, steady job and who hasn't proved that he can sup- port a family. If you will just hand your friends that, you need not be afraid of their criticism. They will give you three cheers and a tiger. The marriage you are contemplating making is a dishonest marriage. It is a grafting game, in which you are depending on forcing some one to feed and clothe you who should not be burdened with your support. You are be- ginning your new life on borrowed money that you will never be able to pay back, and between borrowing money that you have no way of returning and stealing it out of a man’s pocket there is no difference. Family affection, family pride, pity, the humanity that does not let us see other people starve and freeze will make your kinspeople and your hus- kinspeople support you and your children; but you haven't any right ay that burden upon them and it isn’t an honorable thing to do. Consider that side of the question. You say this man loves you. I say he does not. If he really loved you he would hustle out and find some work to do so that he could take care of you properly, and he would rather die than to drag you down into the poverty and humiliation of being a loafer’s wife. Words are cheap, my dear. Don't believe in the love that doesn't prove itself by deeds. Don't marry any man without a job. Postpone your wedding forever rather than marry on borrowed money.

Lefla: was once more entering the library at Richard Kingsley’s bidding. Since that morning she had been aware of the fact that something had happened to upset the household. She had an idea that Barry was mixed up in it, but she couldn’t be sure, and when she had returned from her after- noon shopping tour for Mona she had been summoned to the library. Once more she was walking down the long room, and once more Richard was rising to his feet. He watched her come toward him, taking in every detail of her appearance. The slender féet and ankles. The little head set so proudly on slim shoulders. That aureole of strangely colored hair top- ped by a crisp white cap, a thing so incongruous, like a princess dressed for a masquerade. A mad impyglse leaped up in him, an impulse to tave her in his arms and hold her for himself against the world. After all, why not? Ever since Barry had confessed his love for her, Rich- ard’s brain had been scething with re- bellion. Mona had never loved him, and, after all, he was still young. This girl could mean everything to him. Since that night when for some reason that he could not understand she had set his pulses to tingling, he had not been able to get her out of his Leila.

It was incredible that, after all these years, a woman could make him feel like this again, and strange, in- deed, that the woman should be a servant in his house. ‘The impulse passed, throttled by his better judgment, but, as Lella raised puzzled gray eyes to his, the expres- sion conjured up by that impulse still lingered on his face. It was an ex- pression that no woman could fall to read ard understand. His evus were lonate, but his mouth was t.nder. t was & moment between them, 'nt!- mate, and to Lella it was a momen’ of revelation. She wag consclous that her heart was hammering in short, sharp beats, and then he was pulling a chalr for- ‘ward and in a matter-of-fact tone was asking her to sit down. When she looked at him again his brows were drawn together in ‘e frown, and his mouth wore its usual expression of tension. “Lefla,” he began abruptly, “I un- derstand from my son that he is very much in love with you. He intends to ask you to marry him.” As if she had been a toy doll jerked on a string, Lella sprang to her feet. “What did you say, Mr. Kingsle: “I gald that Barry is in love with you.. He told me so today. Before he had a chance to see you T wanted to have a talk with you. I know that he has been annoying you, but he cares for you more than he realized He intends to ask you to be his wife,” For a moment Leila stared at him incredulously, and then -out of the chaos of her brain came one clear thought. Barry wanted to marry her. Since he could make no impression on her in any other way, he would be magnanimous and do the right thing, thinking, of course, that she would be ready to drop right into his arms. It occurred to her in that moment that a few months ago she might have been glad to marry a man for his money. She’had changed since then more than she realized. Perhaps it was becausa she had been seeing life from behind the scenes, but at any rate she was no longer the same girl, that was certaln Richard was waiting for her to speak, and it was then that for some strange reason she began to laugh. It was a mirthless, little laugh coming from one so youns, it had more tears in it than anything else, and when she spoke her voice trembled. But her head was flung back proudly, and her gray eyes were scornful. “I could never marry your son, Mr Kingsley,” she said very distinctly. “I despise him!" (Copyright. 1926.) (Continued in Monday's Star.) EAT AND BE HEALTHY Dinah Day’s Daily Talks on Diet The Right Food Is The Expectant Mother. The expectant mother holds in her keeping the future health of her baby. ‘There used to be a bellef, that the baby could be marked if the mother beheld a cripple or was frightened by fire. But is is not superstitution, but an absolute fact that the baby will be marked with bad teeth if the mother does not supply in the food she eats enough calciun® her herself and her unborn baby. She can set up a cal- cium safeguard by drinking a quart of milk a day and eating wholewheat bread. Without the necessary calcium her own health will suffer. If her food does not furnish the amount her condition demands nature will go after the calclum in her bones and teeth to provide the developing baby with necessary material for its bones and teeth. There is an bld Irish say- ing, “With every child goes a tooth,” meaning the mother pays toll by los- ing her own teeth. It is often true that a pregnant mother's teeth will decay and fillings loosen. But this is unnecessary. Her food is lacking in calcium. The expectant mother needs to eat freely of fresh vegetables and fruits, because she must also take care of her iron supply. Our old standby, spinach, together with prunes and raisins, will help furnish iron. Veg- etables and fruits also furnish bulk and offset the tendency to constipa- tion. Pregnancy is a normal function. But years of civilization have hedged women about with so much wrong living that the period of expectancy is often attended with serious effects and, occasionally, with serious after- EVERYDAY the Best Medicine effects. Normal living and correct eating will help the mother through this period. It is hard to credit the statement that the Indian women de- livered their bables without assist- ance. The Indian baby would be born painlessly, the mother would wash it in the cold water of a woodland stream, put it in its wrapping and proceed on her journey with her papoose on her back walking along half an hour after the baby’s arrival. A diet which is wholesome and nutritious does not require any change during pregnancy. It must, of course, be nourishing and generous enough to take care of the needs of both mother and child. The mother does not need to become a mountain of flesh. If the child at birth weighs eight pounds, the additional weight of the mother immediately before the birth should be about 12 pounds greater than at the time of concep- tion. The quantity of food depends upon her height and activity. But it is important that the diet be generous enough for her own particular strength and that of the growth, of the child. Should nausea and vomit- ing occur the quantity of food tem- porarily should be reduced. Eat at more frequent intervals and less at one time. If by any possible chance any spe cial disease becomes evident, such as kidney trouble, the mother should be constantly under the care of her per sonal physician. Of course, the ad vice of a physician is most necessary for all expectant mothers from the very first knowledge, but her own health and that of her baby will be safeguarded by normal living and proper diet. QUESTIONS ‘Answered by DR. S. fons from readers are answered dally D Parkes Cadman president of the Federal Council, of Churches of Christ in America, Dr. Cadman seeks to_answer in: quiriee that o tative of ar to be represen trends of thought in the many letters which he recelves. Lexington, Ky. Is there not at least a suggestion of worldly prudence in the commard of Jesus: “Make unto yourselves friends of the mammon of unright- eousness” (St. Luke, xv1.9)? How does this teaching square with the New Testament's renuncia- tion of wealth? Answer—Allow me to clear the ground by saying that the New Testa- ment does not renounce wealth; it consecrates it, and its teachings ap- prove those who subordinate their material possessions to higher uses. Mammon is the common Aramic word for money, riches, and as such is_neither righteous nor unrighteous. ‘When Jesus sald, “Ye cannot serve God and mammon” He emphasized the word ‘“serve,” Concentration upon the acquirement of money to the ex- clusion of everything else is fatal to the development of unselfish devotion either to man or God. Among the Jews the expression “mammon of unrighteousness” was frequently used to denote wealth dis- honestly gained, and they also used the phrase “mammon of righteous- ness” for wealth honorably acquired. Now for the meaning of the text as imbedded in the context. It was addresed to the money-loving group in our Lord’s audience. Hfs disciples had no mammon (money) of either kind, righteous or unrighteous. Since it s not always possible to return money _dishonestly acquired to its rightful owner, Jesus counsels these well known extortioners to give alms out of thelr ill-gotten ‘gains and so make for themselves- friends among the poor and helpless. Only by so dolng can mammonites be delivered from the narrowing lust of gold and prepared for that future life in'which earthly goods have neither place nor meaning. New Haven, Conn. ‘What good are the classics to a college student who expects to en- ter business life? . ‘Would not one’s time be better spent in learning modern languages? Answer—I do not know any man or woman who really knows the classics well' who does not reckon them among God's best gifts, Nor can any nation, however familiar its educated groups are with modern languages or scien- tific learning, be considered truly cul- tured which does not have the spirit of the classies in its blood. For some who falter at a hard phrase there are helps. Even for those who will never know the classics in the original, there are translations. For all who have direct access there are unforgettable alusions, untrans- mittable phrases and haunting de-|and scriptions. ‘With the death of Gladstone and Senator George! Frisbie Hoar of PARKES CADMAN Massachusetts almost the last polit- ical orators of English speaking states who could quote the classics passed away. But are thelr successors any more efficlent in word or deed? Mr. Baldwin, ironmaster and employer of labor, country gentleman and cousin of Rudyard Kipling, who also happens to be the premier of Great Britain, s a first-rate classical scholar. He de- clares that after the orgies of political campaigning he purged his brain and consclence by reading the “Odyssey,” the ““Aeneid” or the “Odes of Horace. All I can say to any college stu- dept who has the opportunity to know these authors at first hand is that he will never regret the time he spends with these masters of an- tiquity. They are the best models of style, the giant peaks in one’s in- tellectual landscape. Think again be- fore you pass these immortals by. Brooklyn, N. Y. It the doctrine “observe a law be- cause it is a law"” had been promul- gated and complied with 150 years ago, there would have heen no Amer- ican independence. How, then, can this doctrine be ap- plied to obedience to the eighteenth amendment? Answer—Although the causes for the war of American, independence seem relatively slight to some, never- theless, the principles at stake had been accepted for centuries as para- mount by English-speaking states. ‘The futile and weak policles of George III and his henchmen placed the mother country in an untenable position. The Colonials embodied law in the name of revolt; the Royal- ists embodied revolt in the name of law. There is no parallel between such a situation, which involved tax- ation without representation, and the eighteenth amendment, as passed by the Federal Congress, ratified by nearly all the States, and since cors firmed as constitutional by the Sue preme Court of the Nation. ‘When representation has been fully recognized in the enactment of a la: the disposition to break it evinces d¢ fective patriotism and poor sports- manship, Let the discontented citizen work for the repeal of the law as hard as he pleases, Meantime, he is bound to obey it, or else to expect that the general lawlessness is, in part, the result of his particular refusal to abide by the law.
