WOMAN'S PAGE. Bags in Many Styles and Sizes BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Bags are a great ald in keeplng a house looking neat and tidy. They arg also indispensable as accessories of incidental furnishing and.of the costume. It is not surprising when they have so wide a range of useful- ness to find their varfety almost limitless. S!ze and shape, material and workmanship enter into the matter of styles of bags until one's head whirls with the consideration of them. There are laundry bags and duster IN HER RIGHT HAND MILADY HOLDS A MISER BAG LARGE ENOUGH FOR DUSTERS, WHILE OVER THE LEFT ARM HANGS A LARGE KNITTING OR UTIL- ITY BAG. bags, shoe bags and handkerchief work bags and shopping bags, pillow bags and string bags. But to enumerate them would be futile. A glimpse at some interesting kinds will be more to the point. For in- stance, the laundry bag that is made of three equal lengths of wash goods, scamed all around and suspended ~traight and smooth from a rod at the op, Is excellent. There shou:d be two slits of good length in each of the outer portions for putting the articles in when solled, and for tak- ing them out later when the laundry work is to be done. ‘This model is recommended be- cause it has places for body clothes and for household linens separate from each other, and because of the ease of slipping the ' things into it. There should be three or four hooks screwed into a door or wooden rod in a closet to hang the bag up by, and eyelets made 1n the top of the bag to slip them through. Or the rod may slip In one end of a top hem and tape loops be made by which to suspend the bag. 3 Miser Style Duster Bags. ‘The miser purse bag is fine for dust- ers. Two strips of cloth 7 or 8 iInches wide and 24 inches long will make one. Cut a 10-inch slit through the lengthwise center of one strip of the goods. Seam all sides on the wrong side or French: seam them, and trim all around the outside with some simple edging to match a color in the fabric. This finish is attrac- tive for dainty duster bags, which may be of silk for silken dusters. Slip two metal or wooden rings over one end to the center, and then push each down toward opposite ends. Hang up by the gathered middle strip g0 formed. The bag is now closed. Open like a miser's purse by slipping either one of the rings to the center, or farther. One end section or “bag" is for fresh dusters and the other for those which have been used but which are not soiled enough to require wash- ing. Various Bags. Shoe bags, which are made of sev- eral pockets, each for one shoe, are fine to conserve space in closets. Small bags the length of the shoes they are to contain and just wide enough to hold a pair protect gar- ments and shoes when packed in lug- gage. Handkerchief bags are for mussed handkerchiefs, not for fresh- ly laundered ones. These should be kept in boves or in flat cdes of silk or other fabric or of woven straw or raffia. There are fascinating eyeglass bags to fit cases. My Neighbor Says: Equal parts of olive oil and lime water thoroughly mixed and applied to a burn will re- move the sting from the burn. Keep the burned surface cov- ered with gauze. Mica in stoves may be clean- ed by washing in hot vinegar. If it does not clean readily, let the mica remain in the vinegar for some time. A lump of sugar added to the rinsing water will give a_light starch to organdie and cuff sets. Never clean windows when he sun is shining on them. A plece of- blotting paper placed on a wax stain and rubbed with a hot iron will soon remove the stain. It too much salt has been added to any dish a little sugar and just a trace of vinegar will often rectify the mistake. To brown a cake place a basin of cold water in the oven just before the cake is put in, This will prevent burning and the cake will be a rich* brown color. Ink spots on the fingers may be instantly removed with a lit- tle ammonia. Rinse the hands after washing in clear water. The Daily Cross-Word Puzzle (Copyright. 1926.) Complete group.

The bright August morning smiled cheerfully on Dorothy as she stood on her front porch walting for Sidney to come and call for her. And his bright red car, as it swung up the venue, glinted happily in the sun. shine, sending little rays of light and friendliness in her direction. Sidney himself was one broad grin as he hopped out of the racer and ran up the steps to greet his lady fair. But Dorothy—ah, Dorothy was not smiling. None of the warmth and cheer of the morning or the bright red car or her man's happy smile permeated to her consciousness. She was mad—and when Dorothy was mad she put on the gloves then and there, and she didn't take them off till the referee had counted 10. So now she opened fire on the amazed Sidney—with bitter words and a torrent of vituperation she charged him with unfaithlessness, negligence and general misbehavior. Poor boy—hits face clouded over, he tried to speak, he faltered, stopped, then turned to gaze sadly at the morning that had been so beautiful five minutes earlier. “Gosh, Dot,” he said miserably, didn’t you save all that for a nasty day ¥ ‘Which enraged the young lady fur- ther. But she had cause to think of that remark later in the day herself. For the beach party, which should have been a joyous affair, was a flop for her and the boy friend. He was plunged in gloom—she was rigidly maintaining her attitude of righteous indignation. Often she longed to call to him to forget the morning's quarrel, but her pride forbade her. She had started this business and she must stick to it. Still, she admitted to herself that it had spoiled a glorious outing. Dorothy and all the girls in the world who feel they have grievances against their particular men should learn to save up those woes for a nasty day. When the weather's bad—and the blues are in the air—one more trou ble, more or less, won't make so much difference. But to spoil a sunshiny. glorious day with a hard, bitter quar- rel Is wrong. There is no rush about telling the boy friend just what a lemon you think he is. You have plenty of time. You can tell him next weck. Why hurry to inform him of your loathing and contempt? Can't you wait for a suitable occasion to pour out your woes? T know it's femfine hurfan nature to blurt out one's woes as soon as possible. But a little durbing of that trait wouldn't do any harm. Do you realize that if you saved up all your nastv words for nasty days, vou wouldn't remembrr half of them by the time the rainy day rolled {around?” Think what a lot of time and worrv vou'd save, then!

For a while it was thought that all protein foods were interchangeable: for instance, that beans could be used in place of meat as muscle and tissue bullding food. It was thought that it a food were in the protein class, it would fill the bill by providing the tis- sues with proper repair material. Under this belief, beans were labeled “the poor man’s meat.” Later investi- gation by food chemists have shown this bellef to be wrong. Peas and beans belong to a class of plants called legumes. They are rich- er in protein that wheat, corn and rice, which are cereals. Because of their very high percentage of protein, beans came to be regarded as ‘mea.” vhich s a complete protein food. But recent experiments on animals by nu- trition experts have shown there is something lacking in the bean make- up, which limits the extent to which beans can be changed in the body into tissue protein: Animal proteins—milk, eggs and meat—are complete proteins. That is they contain all the elements needed ‘or the building of animal tissues. Now, do not misunderstand me, and think I have sald milk, eggs and meat contain all the elements needed for bodily nourishment. At present we are only considering complete pro- teins, which contain all the elements needed to build tissues, cells, muscles, nerves, glands and other parts of the living body. Most vegetable proteins are incom- plete. They lack some of the essen- tials required for building animgl tis- sues., Legumes are incomplete’ pro- teins. However, soy beans, almonds and peanuts contain complete pro- teins. The proteln of white beans is of lower nutritive value than the protein of cereal grains. However, it the Best Medicine Is not only the amount of protein in a food which must be considered. It is also necessary to take into cons'd- erati n whether or not the body can make good use of the protein. McCollum, the nutrition expert, re- marks that it is not so important that a high amount of protein be taken as it is to have proteins of excellent quality. Beans are not always easily digested, and contain elements_easily fermented in the intestines. It has been demonstrated that animals fed on a schedule containing about 25 per cent of heans in the diet seemed better nourished than animals fed on a large percentage of beans. Though experiments have shown that beans cannot take the place of milk, eggs or meat as a source of nrotein, beans are useful in the diet. Experiments on animals have shown that the incomplete proteins in peas, beans, grains and gelatin may be used to extremely good advantage in pro- moting growth. bv supplementing the incomplete proteins with the com- plete proteins of milk, eggs and meat. It is also possible to supplement the incomplete protein of one food by using an incomplete protein of an- other. This is harder to do, because the chemical composition is so intri- cate and Involved that it would take a chemical student to know which ele- ment was lacking in which food. Be on the safe side. Though you use beans, peas, wheat, also, in some meal of the day use a complete pro- tein food. A bean loaf, or baked beans, or hean soup makes a mnourishing meal supplemented with a of milk and a green vegetable salad. jers desiring personal answers to their questions should send self-addregsed. stamped envelope to Dinal Day, care of The Star. 150 YEARS AGO TODAY Story of the U. S. A. BY JONATHAN A. RAWSON, Jr. Navy's Progress Checked. PROVIDENCE, R. L, November 4, 1776.—Progress in building up an American navy is not as rapid as might be wished. Sickness among the sailors, the greater attractions of privateering as a career for seafaring men, scarcity *of cannon, canvas and other naval stores, mot to mention many lesser difficulties, constantly beset Admiral Esek Hcpkins in his endeavor to assemble a sea-going bat- tle fleet. Meanwhile, Admiral Rich- ard Howe, commander of the King's navy in American waters, has 83 ships and vessels of war, with 15,000 seamen and about 2,000 cannon ready for action, and, according to reports from London, his brother, General Willlam Howe, the British army chief, is calling for more. In the face of these conditions, Admiral Hopkins receives the following order from the marine committee at Philadelphia: “We have received such intelli-| gence as satisfles us that the enemy’s ships and vessels have all quitted Georgia and the Carolinas, which renders it unnecessary for you to pur- sue the expeditions formerly directed to these States. But as we have still reason to suppose that the Galatea and Nautilus are cruising off the capes of Virginia, we desire you will BEAUTY CHATS Care of Toilet Things. It is surprising how many diseases of the skin and scalp are communi- cated from one member of a family to another through towels and face cloths and brushes and such things. You may think, carelessly, that the face cloth soaped liberally every day, or twice a day, with which you wash vour face, must be clean, it is being washed so often. But it {sn't being washed, it is washing you, and takes into its soft and spongy fabric—the more expensive it is the softer and spongler the fabric—the dirt, cold cream, powder and perspiration from your skin. To keep it clean it should be wash- ed every day, just by itself, in very hot water and with a lot of soap, and insed. So should your bath brush, which should then be turned upside down to dry. And if there's sun they should be dried in the sun and air— on the outside of the bathroom win- dow, where they won't show and will be handy. Sun, of course, is the great- est of germ killers. As for a sponge, it is really a most insanitary object, and yet it is so convenient to use when bathing that the only thing to do is to take special care to wash a sponge as you wash the face cloth, with soapy hot water and to sun it, too, when practical. A lot of recent Government propagan- da ‘;augm us the disease-carrving ability of the common towel; to a minor extent your towel, or that of some other member of your family, may carry disease. If you wash extra thoroughly the towels will stay fresh and clean quite a time, if not they'll { show soil the first t'me used. Halr brushes need special care—a thorough washing once a week with| hot water for both brush and comb if you want healthy hair. And use only your own things.

Having finished this business you are to re- turn and cruise for and endeavor to intercept the store and provision ves- sels coming from Europe to the en- emy’s army at New York.” Admiral Hopkins has not said so, but he is doubtless thankful that he is not asked also to_destroy the en- enemy fleet at New York. He has in return submitted a little problem to the marine committee as follo “I am at a loss to know how we shall get the ship manned, as I think near one-third of the men which have shipped, and recelved their month’s pay, have been one way or another carried away in the priva- teers. I wish I had your orders giv- ing me leave, whenever I find any man on board the privateers, not only to take h m out, but all the rest of the men. That might make some of them more cautious of taking the men out of the service of the States.” (Copyright. 1926.) BY EDNA KENT FORBES it off and massage with a cream or olive oil.

Cosmos is indeed a vaunting name for any flower to assume, since it means the universe, and only a sun- flower, it would seem, might fittingly support, on its strong stem, the name and burden of the universe. Yet the universe, to the Greek mind at least, vas all order and plan and neatness, and the elegant slender rays of the old-fashioned cosmos perhaps sug- gested a flawless pattern to the bot- anist who named the flower. As nature abhors a vacuum, so the gardener seems to abhor a space be- tween the petals, though actually it was this elegant, star-like form of the primitive cosmos that first at- tracted some flower-lover's eye. But the cosmos has been bred to broader and broader, showier, overlapping pe- tals. So we get the flower that we see today, at once brilllant and fra. gile. The original species had only white, pink or crimson flowers, but the discovery of two other wild spe- ices has added sulphur yellow and maroon red. All specles of cosmos come to us from Mexico, which explains their sensitiveness to frost, and just as the New World was discovered late in history, so in the old age of the year, cosmos, zinnia, dahlia and nrarigold. Aztec flowers all, come to make warm the old blood of the season with their gay colors. Lessons in English BY W. L. GORDON.

Henderson and Helena Ford are is tired truth. or not. Finauy he decides' that he will and then loses his nerve. CHAPTER IV. Married. It was a pretty wedding, held at Mrs. Ford's house in New Jersey. The June day was radiant and the reception was held on the porch and lawn. Guests wandered about infor- mally with plates of chicken salad and finger, rolls, and Helena, in a white lacy gown with her grandmother's vell worn Juliet fashion, had never been so lovely. P The ceremony itself had been per- ect. Natalie and Doris, in pale-green organdie, had been bridesmaids. They were both thrilled with the romance of the thing, although Natalie confided to Doris that she thought Helena was a little too fat. Girl fashion, she was intolerant and conscious only of her own slim body without any curves at all. “I hope she doesn't let herself go,” she said to Doris. “Women do. you know, once they’re married.” “Helena won't” Doris sald confi- dently. ‘“‘She’s too sensible. sides, John is mad about her. He won't be critical.’ Doris was 16 and Natalie 18 and they both adored John. Natalie could imagine nothing more wonderful than to be in Helena's shoes. But she thought her sister wonderful and was critical only because she wanted her to be perfect. Up in her own room, Helena, as- sisted by her mother and her two bridesmalds, was changing from her lacy gown to street clothes, A three- piece suit of pale fawn, with a little tan hat that came down over her eyes, gave her a lovely rakish appear- ance. She wore black patent leather shoes with cut steel buckles and car- ried a black patent leather handbag. “Am I all right?"” she asked, a little wistfully, as she rose at last from her dressing table. “Do you know, I think this suit makes me look a little fat. ‘Tell me, mother, do you think I've put on weight?’ Mrs. Ford was placid. “Suppose you have. It's very becoming.” “Oh, but I mustn't,” Helena wailed. “Men hate fat women. Dorls, Natalie, what do you think?"” “You look gorgeous,” stoutly. Natalie was silent until Helena's eyes sought hers and then she red- dened guiltily. T would train down a little, Doris said you know how men are.” e Mrs. Ford was instantly expostu- lative. “Nonsense, Natalie; how can you talk that way to your sister? Pay no attention to her, Helena. You look lovely."” “Of course she does,” Natalle agreed. “I'm just telling her that it When first we're sented to people e have to say “how do you do 14 rather say,’What are you thinking ?

She wanted to be so perfect for John. Why had she let herself get overweight? In her heart of heawts she knew that she was. And yet as she faced herself in the glass a radlant face looked back at her. That jabot of white chiffon was very becoming, so was her hat. And then; too, she was exaggerating everything. She really would make a valiant effort to give up starch and sweets. She had let herself get into bad habits for some reason. But John loved her. She was sure of him. He wouldn't be critical. How stunning he looked in his formal after- noon dress with its cutaway cgat. And in a few moments now they wlia be going away together. They would belong to each other forever. She had never loved any one but John and she would try to make him happy. (Copyright. 1928.)
