WOMAN'’S PAGE Gloves Are Regaining Popularity - BY MARY MARSHALL. Gradually but syrely the fashion for going gloveless is passing. It started no doubt as a mater of wartime econ- omy.

There is a certain trimness and smartness to be gained by well fitting, immaculate gloves that is well worth achieving by the well dressed woman. One notices even now that in France fewer well dressed women go gloveless. There are middle-classed conservative women in France who |even eat their luncheon or afternoon itea with their gloves on. Just now pure white gloves are worn by some well dressed women in France—though very many of them prefer the glove of beige or similar tone. The so-called fabric glove is more often worn by well dressed French and English women than it | seems to be in America. Silk gloves | have even been taken up as a new fashion by a number of French| women. They are of very wide| meshed net that shows the flesh tones | of the hands and the slight polish of | well cared for nails. | Hand-sewn gloves are much in de-| mand for sports and tailored wear in| France. The feeling is that they wear better than the machiesewn sort. (Copyright. 1926.) What Do You Know About It? Daily Science Six. 1. Who are the Magyars? 2. Are the Prussians pure Germans? 3.

Answers to these questions in tomorrow’s Star. Tower of Babel. The Biblical story of the origin of language is that the workers on the Tower of Babel were halted in their vainglorious task by being stricken, not dumb, but with each a separate tongue. Science knows no final cause for the differences in language, but it knows that a Chinese baby can learn English as readily as Chinese. So the difference Isn't really racial. But closely related races sometimes speak - different _tongues. In the last century all the Slavic races of Europe, many of which were under the domi- nance of Germany and Austria, met in a congress to unite thelr racial and political aims. They found, though, that their speech was so diverse that | the onlyslanguage they all had in common was German, and so were obliged to hold the congress in the | hated tongue. Now, what do you know about that? Answers to Yesterday’s Questions. 1. Owls and bats have especially keen hearing, with marvelously com plex ear. .

My Weighbor Says: - If furs get wet, hang them in a cool room and let them dry naturally. Don't brush them, but shake them out next morn- ing after they are dry. Hang them free from anything. When shaking neckpleces, hold the head down on a table and shake the rest of the fur. Then rub the hand up and down the fur to make the hair stand up. When serving coffee jelly, in- stead of putting whipped cream on top when the jelly has cool- ed and set break it up with an eggbeater, then fold it into the stiffly beaten cream. ‘Wood ashes are excellent for cleaning tin articles. Wring a cloth out of warm water, dip it in the ashes and with this scour the tins, then rub off the polish.

It is a platitude to say that the well baby is also a happy baby, but plati- tudes usually express well worn truths. When the baby is cross for no reason that one can discern, don’t just say, “It's his teeth, or it's the heat,” or so many of those ex- by which careless mothers avold taking any measure of cure, but make up your mind that the baby has some good reason to be cross. He doesn’t cry just to irritate his mother. Hot weather makes bables cross, that is true, and yet a well baby with his stomach comfortably full of good food doesn't seem to mind anything, if you've noticed. During the hot days the mother should avoid the irritation of extreme heat by keeping the baby cool in every way she knows how. A sponge bath of tepid water several times during the day, just a swift sponge off, will cool the baby and make him' sleep. Take off all his clothes but the band and diaper and let him frolic about like a_small sav- age. Starched clothes and wool are not for Summer, and in addition to making the baby cross the combina- tion of heat and the wrong food may actually encourage illness. Therefore, when the baby is cross make sure that there is no fever. Then, to hurry the baby back to good health and good nature again, cut down the amount of food and give more boiled water to drink. If the Intestinal, this will help If there Is a fever and the bowels are showing undue ac- | tivity, stop food altogether and call the doctor. This precaution will pay. It so often happens that the mother fails to pay heed to the warning signal of “crossness,” and in order to enter- tain the baby she gives him bites of new foods, plays with him and tries to | make him forget his irritation, with | the result only that she adds to the | causes of his troubles, and that night here may be a high fever, perhaps onvulsions and real illness, when if che had paid attention to his crving and apparent temper she would hours before have taken some measures to make him well. It is always a mistake to close one’s eyes to what is almost always a real sign of illness, crossness and crying. Such a baby does not deserve slap- pings and scoldings, but rather a cool bath and a nap in a quiet room and attentlon to his diet. These sane measures will usually eradicate trivial causes for crossness. SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y. CORY There you is! Have all the fun vou want.

She was not shaken by any great love. She had made up her mind to do_this thing, not because she wanted Ronny, but because of the things he could do for her. She had married Richard with this same feeling in her heart. but she had been a girl then. Now she was a woman, and a clever one. She would manage things better. Ronny would never discover that she didn't love him as he loved her. It would be an easy matter to deceive him. (Copsright. 1926.) . (Continued in tum ow's Star.) Across. 1. Chum. . Note of scale. 5.

[ATF [F To[R]D]S A[RIS v &]P) HOW IT STARTED BY JEAN NEWTO! The Wedding Cake. From {ts start, way back in the days of the ancients to its survival as we know it today, the iced and ornamented wedding cake has had a very interesting evolution. ‘With the exclamation, “Increase and multiply!” the ancient Hebrews threw wheat over the head of a bride. Araong the Romans, to imply futuve plenty, the bride during the wedding ceremony held In her left hand three ears of wheat. And after the various rites had been performed both bride and bridegroom partook of a loaf made of flour mixed with water and salt. During the middle ages the wheat took the form of more tasty cake which, in ancient fashion. was thrown over the head of the bride. As soon as she entered the door the bombard- ment of pastry began, and those pleces which landed on her person were considered by the guests the precious. By the married folk v were eaten, but by lad and lassie they were carefully preserved to be placed under the pillow at night and bring dreams of the future Ilife partner! ‘With the introduction by the re- naissance of elegance in every depart- ment of life, came the luxuries of the table. Parts of the new elaborate cuisine were preserved fruits, almond paste and leings for cakes. All of which tended soon to convert the many small cakes into a large one which could be variously embellished and ornamented. And it is over a slice of this, packed in a tiny white satin box, a cupid without as well as on the ke itself, that the sweet- heart world dreams today!

YOURSELTF FEATURES EVERYDAY Answered by DR. S. YORK, Pa. ‘What is your opinion of a clergy- man who performs “stunt” marriages for advertising purposes? Answer—He degrades himself, his calling and the sacred rite itself. No clergyman rightly aware of the re- sponsipilities of his office could be cajoled into such vulgar exhibitions, and no self-respecting church should tolerate such misbehavior in its min- ister. Marriage is recognized as a divine ordinance, by none “to be entered un- advisedly, but reverently, discreetly and in the fear of God.” When it is used to attract a crowd or to swell re- ceipts or to gratify notoriety hunters it ceases to be in the valid sense a religious ceremony and defeats the purpose of the church in hallowing it. Fort Wayne, Ind. I am troubled by foul memories, and often query why I last on into the §0's when my body is a burden to me and my interests vanish daily. Can you give a cheering word to an aged and lonely man?

His prophet declares that He will restore to you the dew of your youth and give back to you the years consumed by folly and e. You cannot change the past, but, although your heart condemns you for its misspent energies, you are never beyond the aid of the Eternal Father.

Answer—Yes, by using the laws of self-suggestion. But it is an indirect, not a direct conscious control. I will try to make ‘the difference as clear as possible. To begin with, the uncon- sclous self is n some respects like an obedient child—it accepts instructions; it acts on suggestions. If, therefore, before vou fall asleep you suggest that a certain kind of dream {s objectionable, you set up an inhibition in your unconscious self. It resists the tendency to use its pos ers of imagery in the manner to which you object. Hence when sleep comes you have already established the be- ginnings of dream control. But it Is not a direct control. It is delegated and indirect first it may not he effective. Practics is necessary. There should also he harmony between the consclous and the unconscious self.
