WOMAN’S PAGE. Changes of Garments and Moods BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Besides covering and protecting the body, clothes have a very appreciable psychological effect upon the wearer. This is more pronounced in some per. sons than in others, of course, but it is an inherent quality that exists to a larger or smaller degree in all people, It is one reason why certain societies and religious orders adhere to definite costumes, and why there is signifi- tance in regalia. These stress the power of assoclation. Sometimes they are transforming. The gown worn by a judge, for in- propriately when doing the menial duties of housework elsewhere in the home, such as sweeping. cleaning, ete. And this is but one of the vari- ous sorts of apron regalia, such as the apron dress, the sewing apron, the clothespin apron, etc., each of which signifies a definite occupation. To wear them when doing another work is contradictory and has a re- action on the wearer that is dis- pleasing and sometimes amusing to others. For Festivities. “Best cloth have their decided function. One is presumed to be at one's best when wearing ‘them. A little more care is expected not for the clothes merely but for one's self. The most gracious manners, the most tactful consideration of others and of situations, etc., are actually relied upon. The expression ‘“com- pany manners” has come to be asso- ciated with best clothes. It is true that such manners should mnot be confined only to such times. But when the finest one is donned it is assumed that, however much the manners may be at fault at other times, they must be in evidence when when one is’in company and wearing best clothes. Another Mood. The same idea prevails when a woman puts on her afternoon dre That is, she is expected to lay the consideration of the scrubby tasks and revel in the higher con- siderations of home life or of edu- cational subjects. Tt is with a gen- uine satisfaction that women turn to embroideries, music, books or to the less arduous home duties when they take off their morning dresses and put on daintier frocks. There is suitability in this change of costume to accord with occupations or with pleasures. There is psychological adjustment that instinctively goes with it, and so clothes have a posi- tive part in the scheme of life as well as in the covering of the body. It is apart from expenditure of money, for it goes with the aype of clothes rather than the amount they cost. My Neighbor Says: To save gas, If you cook with gas only during the Winter, wash your petatoes, wrap them in oiled paper (paper bread comes wrapped in will do) and place them inside the furnace door. Potatoes _thus handled bake perfectly. The oiled paper keeps the skin soft. Partly cook cereal in a double boiler the night before using and leave it on the back of the stove, being sure to cover well with water. It will be well cooked in the morning. Mend clothes, especially starched ones, before sending them to the laundry, so that when they are returned, clean and nicely folded, there will be nc need to disarrange and crumple them for mending pur- poses. The bread box should be washed out weekly, dried and thoroughly aired by keeping the lid open a short time. If this done, the bread will never get a musty taste. To keep bread from becoming too dry place a well baked potato in the box. Moisture is given off by the po- tato, but not enough to cause mildew. The white of an egg dropped into a pot of soup will gather to it all the impurities. When it curdles, remove it. To clean grease from an iron sink, try Indian meal in place of soap. USAGE HAS DICTATED THE KITCHEN APRON AS THE UNIFORM OF HOUSEWORK, TO BE DISCARDED AS SOON AS THE DUTIES ARE DONE. stance, symbolizes the discarding of the man’s own personality and the donning of a legal personality that de- cides judicially and with an opinion unbiased by his own views. So also does a military uniform carry the message that the person represents the country it indicates. Such uni- forms, gowns, etc., impart dignity to the wearers of them. Duty Dresses. In everyday home life there is more than a touch of this significance in costumes, though it can scarcely be said to be traditional.

ALL-BRAN DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Why Clothes Make the Woman and Indicate Character—Problem of Two Young Girls Whose Parents Won't Let Them Have Dates. Do clothes make the woman in this modern time? PDBAR MIss DIX ETHELYN It depends upon what you mean by “making a woman." You ins in an empty head by covering it with a French chapeau. You can't make a hard heart tender and sweet by draping chiffon over it. You can't turn grandma into a flapper by bobbing her hair and cutting off her dresses to her knees and rolling ber stockings. Answer can't put bri But undoubtedly vou can improve a woman’s morale by diking her up and destroy it by making her shabby, for good clothes do stiffen our spinal columns. Some wit once said that the knowledge that your coat fit in the back gave you more moral support than the firmest principles, and it is true. Also, clothes “make a woman’ in the sense of being about 90 per cent of her good looks. Pretty clothes are the aura that sets off a woman’s good looks and that adds to her beauty as a frame does to a picture. In fact, when we speak of a pretty woman we do not differentiate between her and her clothes. We merely mean that she presents an attractive appearance, and our impression is made up just as much of lovely s and ravishing colors as it is of hair and eyes and clas Many a woman who is actually plain of face enjoys the reputation of being pretty just because she is always beautifully dressed. And many another homely woman only needs clothes that would flatter her and bring out her good points to become a beauty. But whether clothes make a woman or not. they are undeniably the best way by which to judge her. To begin with, by their suitability shall you measure her intelligence and her judgment. The girl who is always overdressed, who buys loud, conspicuous clothes, and who always has on a lot of cheap ornam is the one who acts upon the impulse of the moment, without considering the consequenc She is carried away by every passing fancy and lacks stability of character, s chiffons to market 2nd the girl who goe ng to an afternoon reception lack tact and a sense of the opriate and have poor judgment. They will never succeed in any of their undertakings and in a crisis will always do the fool thing to work The girl whose clothes are never pressed, and who looks mussy and as if she needed to go to the cleane: will be sloppy and inaccurate in her work, whereas the prim, tailor-made girl will be pretty sure to be a detail worker whose books will always balance and whosz typing will be accurate. The girl who dresses beyond her means is vain and selfish and will make an extravagant wife. The girl who looks like a daily hint from Paris is gen@ra]!)’ nothing but a clothes rack, and will be just about as entertaining a companion. 3 So, after all, clothes do make the woman, or at least they tell what she has made of herself. DOROTHY DIX. . e EAR DOROTHY DIX: ‘T am 17 years of age and a senior in high school, and T have an older sister, but neither of us is allowed to have any association whatever with boys. Our parents think it is a crime for us even to be seen walking with one on the street. The result is that we have to lie to our father and mother in order to go out. We tell them that we are going to our girl friends’ houses, and then meet the boys on the street. Now, Miss Dix, we don’t want to associate with wild boys or do anything had‘oursd\-om but we do want to have heaux and dates. What can we do?

Certainly it is true that if we dwell too much on rules, we shall circumscribe our field of usefulne And when I say usefulness, I mean something more than routine completion of our daily tasks. Take heart, harried mother, from the fact that your children are keep- ing the food rules, but let them know that there is something more beauti- ful than rules. When a great life insurance com pany sees fit to issue a_booklet con- taining reproductions of famous paint- ings, showing how all of the paintings have an indirect connection with health, is not this a challenge? Not that we need follow along pre- cisely these lines. The skillful mother will know ‘how to help her children connect food rules and nutrition laws with beauty, whether in connection with painting or music or any of the other arts. Lest this may seem too visionary, 1 hasten to come down to earth! The talent that is within each one of us, in greater or less degree, may be fos- tered in many ways, but there is no better soil for its culture than that of a well nourished body. And appreci- ation of beauty may surely be called a talent! | If the child has an ear for music he | will have an appreciation of rhythm somewhat in proportion to his health If he has a way with his brush we are safe in saying that this way will be a fairer one if the hand that wields the brush is part of a well nourished hody. So it is for those of us who have the responsibility of feeding others to 100k to our own inner lives, that part of us that responds to music or painting, or other manifestations of beauty. With our own sense of beauty keenly alert we shall know bet- ter how to guide the children in de veloping theirs. The fact that the morning orange juice, the daily milk and fruits and vegetables have a very direct bearing on appreciation of beauty gives added interest to those prosaic milestones along the daily march known as breakfast, luncheon and dinner.

How often should these ofl treatments be given? MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. A Guessing Diversion.

Then I have them do the counting, which is in itself an amusement that passes many min- utes. This plan could be extended indefinitely for special days when they run out of entertainment.

A. L. Answer—(1) The hot oil dissolves dandruff and softens the dry skin of the scalp. It is a good plan to have the treatments once a week for the first month and then twice a month thereafter until the condition is much improved. Or you may use an ofly hair tonic twice a week with the hot oil treatments twice a manth, fol- lowed by a shampoo. The hest way to dry hair after washing it is to rub it betweon warm, dry Turkish towels and shake it in the sun. The hot air is used to save time, but I do not think it desirable for hair as dry as yourg. You could give yourself the hot oll treatment at home as described in my leaflet on “Care of the Hair" please send a stamped, self-addressed envelope for it.

To put oilcloth on a kitchen table, in drawers, or on shelves, use the following method: Mix some flour and water to a paste of medium consist- ency. Cover the back of the oflcloth with the paste and lay the oflcloth on the surface to be covered. With a &mall roller, such as is used in mount ing pictures, or a heavy cloth folded into a pad. begin at the center of the oilcloth and carefully smooth out all bubbles as you work toward the out- side.
