WOMA Indifference to N’S PAGE. Morning Styles BY MARY MARSHALL. Well dressed women used to draw wery rigid lines between what was ap- propriate for morning and afternoon, what was appropriate for afternoon and evening and what was appropri- ate for a formal dinner at home or less formal restaurant wear. Now these lines seem to be less tautly drawn, and especially is this slack- ness apparent in the choice of morning clothes. Not very many vears ago there was something very near to uniformity in the apparel of well dressed women whom you might meet at a committee meeting in the morning. And now THIS SMART MORNING FROCK I8 OF NAVY BLUE TUCKED CREPE DE "CHINE ' WITH TUCKED ‘WHITE CREPE DE CHINE COL- LAR AND CUFFS. just in the choice of shoes alone there is wide difference of taste to be seen in any morning gathering. Some women still cling to the old idea that only a simple black or tan shoe should be worn at this time, while others, haging no taste for severe types of footgear, appear in shoes that once The other morning a group of six or seven father well known women was talking over ways and means for a favorite charity in the morning. Qne woman wore a trim wine-colored Jumper costume with a fox collar over her shoulders and a little wine-colored felt hat. Another woman wore a frock coat collared, cuffed and belted in leather. Another wore a black cloth coat trimmed with fur, another ap- peared in a navy blue suit and colored silk scarf, while still another had a georgette frock that you might have considered more appropriate for aft- ernoon, with a cape coat of velvet trimmed with moleskin. Even now, however, the extremely well dressed French woman is more reserved in her choice of morning at- tire, and is quitely Mkelv to select a simple tailored two-piece costume or a coat frock of inconspicuous cut and color. There is, indeed, much to be gained in smartness if the simpler, severer clothes, smart rather than pretty, are chosen for morning en- gagements. Alry, fairy evening gowns have a way of looking particu- larly charming when worn by the woman whom you may have seen only that morning in severely smart, trim, dark-colored morning attire. Fluffy, istledown clothes appear to but poor \dvantage in the clear morning light. (Copyright. 1927.) THE DAILY HOROSCOPE Tuesday, March 8. Tomorrow is an uncertain day, ac- cording to astrology. The morning is threatening, and care should be ex- ercised in whatever is undertaken under the sway before noon. Good news may be expected regard- ing financial negotiations of public moment. Editors and publishers are to pros- per greatly and to undertake amaz- ing enterprises in 1927, astrologers foretell. This rule of the stars is supposed to be stimulating to thought, and it should improve the vision regarding international affairs, the seers de- clare. Intellectual development is to be marked in 1927, when Americans are to attain new world fame by their achievements. Spiritual ideas will be received more hospitably than in the last few years, when materialism has ruled, astrol- ogers prophesy. ‘Women who have been much con- cerned about beauty of body will now seek to improve the complexions of their souls. Fashions are to reveal extremes in feminine taste, from masculine modes to_the most dainty creations. Persons whose birth date it is have the forecast of a year lucky for im- portant matters.

Can we truthfully say that art in any form has really influenced civil- ization? Take, for example, Shake- speare, Dante, Michaelangelo or Beethoven, are they not produced by civilization rather than being an in- fluence upon civilization or produc- ing it? Myself an artist, T am rather skep- tical that art has influenced civiliza- tion. If in your opinion it has done #0 in any of the forms I have men- tioned 1 shall appreciate your indi- cating the proofs of such influence. Answer—Is not the relation of art and civilization reciproca]? Certainly it cannot be denied that art has en- riched civilization. Indeed, the names you mention are synonymous with the creative forces of a cultured so- ciety. These giants derived from those of the Renaissance, who in turn apprenticed their genius to the tran- scendent art of the ancient Greeks. You have an honorable lineage, and there is not the slightest reason to deprecate it or the foremost place of its fnheritors. If today we esteem beauty above ugliness and reason above violence it is because artists of every age and realm have infused in us a measure of their inspiration and their power. Nobody dreams of music in hell, and nobody conceives of heaven with: out it. ‘The imaginative quality, whether in painting, sculpture, archi- tecture, poetry or music, is the pre- mier one, and its limits, which come near to being illimitable, are the sole boundaries of its influence. Compare the massive but soulless, inhospitable’ cave temples of Ele- phanta with the spacious loveliness | and graceful strength of the cathe- drals of Chartres or Lincoln. The re- sult registers art’s progressive reign. There are problems involved in this discussion which will not be solved by unaided art and perhaps these insti- gate their queries. Man cannot live Ly beauty and intelligence alone. He lemands answers to questions which intellectual supremacy nor conception of form, color and harmony supply. Yet we must be deeply ‘conscious of art'’s manifold and priceless contributions to life, and that it ha#@humanized religions and rebuked its sectarian tendencies, universal voices belong to poetry and music. And if the ideals of a better ci ion are to be real- ized we shall have to recognize that. despite its darker phases, art has il luminated faith with the holiness of the origin and “conscience” Sw n you tell me meaning of the word and trace its histo Answer—Its first comprehansive term is “suneidesis,” a Greek word implying consciousness of whot ane’s self has witnessed or others have done, and also knowledge gained by reflection, or, as we should say, by consequent judgment. The idea behind the term “sunei- desis” was that of a power in men nd women for ethical judgment to which their experience testified. They recognized moral distinctions objec- tively long before any corresponding subjective discrimination was exer- cised. But though analytical Greek minds prepared the way for a more accurate delinéation of man’s moral vature, its inevitable issues were re- cor in the earliest religions of Egypt, Indla, China and Persia. through friends and employers. (Copyright. 1027.) QUESTIONS PARKES CADMAN These widely different faiths agreed in representing the admonitions of conscience as the edicts of gods who were to be feared rather than as the behests of a moral faculty -in man himself. Dawn broke upon the “divine shame” of conscience which Homer depicted as falling upon those who wantonly di its. dictates when Antigone” appealed to them as the unwritten but changeless laws of God. These were declared to be “ ® & ¢ not of today nor yester- day ‘They live forever, nor can man assign ‘When first they sprang to being.” “Socrates’ teaching developed such poetical ideals as these in the ethical temper which culminafed in Plato’s writings. St. Paul used the word *suneidesis™ (translated in the New Testament as “conscience”) solely for the advance- ment of Christ’s laws governing hu- man life. Here the “inwardness” of Christianity found an outlet which Israel's prophets had anticipated. The Bible's. insistence upon internaY. purity in thought and motive has given conscience the standard mean- ings it now has in Christian clviliza- ton. (Copyright. 1927.) Pecan Cookies.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith separated, and shortly thereafter Smith received no- tice of suit by the department store. Smith contested the suit on the grounds that a married woman now has power to contract in her own name, and that the department store had never received authority to charge the purchases to him. But Smith lost his case. ““Where the husband refuses or ne- glects to supply his wife with suitable necessaries she m: while living with him, bind him by her contracts with third persons for such necessaries. The rule results from the duty to fur- nish necessaries imposed upon the husband by law as an incident of the marriage relation, and his failure or refusal to perform the duty; it is an authority to do for the husband what law and duty rcquire him to do and which he neglecis or refuses to do for himself.

After these were sifted together, she added two cup- fuls milk mixed with four beaten egg yolks. Two tablespoonfuls of melted shortening and four stiffly beaten egg whites added last. ‘When she called them to the dining room she had two waffle irons going.

Sally. Sally hung up the telephone, stood still for a moment, hands clasped against her breast, and fairly gloated. It was like a fairy tale. She was actually going on this wonderful, un- believable trin Not only that, but she was going with Myra! From the first it had beén difficult to believe that Myra really wanted her. Since they had been married, she and Myra hadn’t had a great deal in common. Myra was so self-suffi- cient, so sure of herself. And her circle of friends was so brilliant. Sally found it difficult sometimes to talk to lhlefm. She wasn't always sure of her- self. < : As a matter of fact, she never really knew whether they liked her or wheth- er they tolerated her because of her sister. The men adored Myra, and she de- served it. dn})},’ho else could entertain as she Who could wear clothes with such a verve and dash? And Myra’s home! The perfection of it! Her living room, with its soft lights spilling in reflection against old mahogany. The perfect little din- ners, served on a long refectory table at one end of the room. The appar- ent effortlessness of everything which set her apart from every one else made her some one to look up to and adore. Were there ever two sisters so different, so entirely different as she and Myra? And now Myra had asked her to go on this trip. At figst Sally had thought it impos- sible. There were so mary things to consider. The money end of it alone seemed stupendous. But Myra, in her usual casual manner, had settled that. “Don’t worry about the money. I have plenty.’ “You mean—"" ‘Ot course, dear. I mean that I'll finance it. I need to get away. And, after all, we're sisters. If 1 have more than you, why worry about that? Can you manage otherwise?”” “You mean, will Tom let me go? And, of course, there’s Marjorie.” “How about Tom's family? They ought to be willing to take care of the baby. You really need to get away, Sally. You're getting provincial. This is going to be the making of you.” Sally was woman enough to let her thoughts go roaming about wildly as SONNYSAYINGS Yes, muvver dear, I telled her you wasn't ‘home; her didn’t seem to be- liebe it ’till I said you telled .me so yourself.

Tom had never had any more out of life than she herself had had. ‘Wonderful to be able to take a ro- mantic trip with Tom, to actually see the things that Myra talked about. Sally had a sneaking notion that Myra thought she was silly to be so crazy about Tom. Of course, they had very little in the way of money. Sally's home was not like Myra's. She lived in the suburbs in a modest little cot- tage. It was all that Tom could afs ford.. And yet she had been very harny. She had Tom and Marjorie. There were times when she thoyght that Myra envied her the complete devotion that Tom gave. But there were other times when she laughed at the absurditv of such an idea. Why on earth would Myra envy any oge? Myra, who had not only the devotion of her own husband, but the admira- tion of every other woman’s husband. Every one adored her. ' It was mar- velous. “T'll ask Tom,” she had said, almost shyly. And Myra had laughed. “If Tom loves vou as you deserve, he’ll know that you'll need this trip. You need broadening out; you need a touch of worldly cynicism. You've sacrificed some of the best years of your life to Tom and Marjorie. *Now it’s your turn. Put it up to him that wav. He'll agree.” And Sally had. She had told Tom the truth. With her gray eyes wide, she had told him that Myra wanted her to go on a long sea trip. She had mentioned far places softly, almost reverently, and Tom, loving her as he did, and seeing her with a dream in her eyes that he had never satisfied, had re- sponded to her mood.

HOME NOTES Let's decorate this sunny little breakfast room in the French provin- cial style. It is a modern room in an American home, of course, so we shall have to make some allowances. The walls we will cover with a pa- per copied after a foile de joury in tones of grayish tan. The candle scofices on the walls will have dia- mond-shaped mirror backs. The cur- tains will be dull red hung from arrow- like rods painted dull gold. The un- der curtains must be buff silk, and the rug a dark fawn color. ‘The furniture will be all of beech- wood, with the exception of the dresser, which will be light-colored walnut, and the little chest, which will be Normandy oak. The chairs will be upholstered in a very unusual red-groun glazed chintz which fea- tures a white diamond design. OUR CHILDREN By Angelo Patri Mending Day. Last Christmas, time the children got a lot of toys, and those added to what they had before made quite a little plle. Each child has a pile, and by now many of them are broken or out of order. This is the right time for mending them. Schools are chang- ing classes for promotion time, teach- ers are busy with clerical work, and lessons are not o exacting. The days .;Lre long. It is the time of toy mend- ng. It is a most untidy and disorderly plan to keep a heap of junk on the closet shelves and floor. A child can find nothing to play with because the only whole toy is down in the bottom of the heap, maybe. And the pile will lie there, cluttering things up, until somebody decides to clean house, ‘and out goes the mess to the attic or the dust pile. Have the children sort the toys. Those that are useless for any pur- pose go into a basket, to be carried to the waste barrel. Those that are in order and to be used again are set in another place, ready to be returned to the shelves. Those that are whole and to be given away are set in still an- other place. Get all of those out of the way, put them where they will not have to be handled again, each in its own class, and start on the next stage. Sort the injured toys into two piles —those that are to_be mended and kept, those that are to be mended and sent away. Attend to these last first. Bring out scrap bags, pleces of elastic, tin, wire, adhesive tape, a can of glue, a present if it i3 not as perfect as it can be. There i$ many a lesson to be learned in this process of cleaning and sort- ing and mending and giving. . This is the time of year to make the best of them. ' Start the school term with a clean slate all around. Mend the books and sharpen the pencils and get new fountain pens and fresh note- books and put new leaves in the scrap- books. There's nothing like a fresh start all around. Don't be stingy about giving the toys away to children who will use them. There is no use in storing the attic or the ‘closets with stuff in the hope that some day somebody will find use for it. Children grow out of touch with their toys, outgrow some and lose interest in others. Get rig of them. It is a wise plan to teach children to take an {nventory of their belongings, to discard the useless and outdated and start fresh at each term end. What is, goel for the material plane 1s also good for the mental and spir- itual planes. Children learn by be- ginning on the lower plane and work- ing through to the higher ones. So let’s have a mending day and a clean- up time. Date Conserve. k overnight one pound of dates in three and one-half cupfuls of water, adding six tablespoonfuls of lemon juice Bnd one orange. Remove the peels if desired. Cook, put the dates through a sleve, and one-half a cup- ful of sugar and cook down until thick enough to spread nicely. This is espe- rags, paint boxes, a tack hammer, a pair of tweezers, a pair of pincers, needles of all sorts and threads to match. Mend the toys to look like new. Pack them for the children who are to receive them. Now have another mending time and mend the things that are to.re- main in the family. The child who owns the toy should mend it, and if he is to give it to a brother or sister, hand it to him in good order, or not at all. It is bad taste to give anybody . Proves old 12:in a package.

BEAIJTY CHATS BY EDNA KENT FORBES. Attractive Feet. Shoes and stockings these days count for at least half the costume. So the smart woman must have slim feet, slim ankles ond slim legs as well. She must have nice quality, fine silk stockings of the proper shade—beige, gray, light brown; or, if dark, of a quality so fine the darkness seems light. Stockings need not necessarily be chiffon weight, but if they are black or very dark brown or gun metal gray, they should be as sheer as possible, because then they shade with the curve of the leg, giving nice contours to the ankles and calves without look- ing heavy or solid in color as thicker stockings do. . Sheer stockings, of course, are ex- travagant, because they do not wear | long, and, no matter how carefully vou mend them, a small hole appears and in an hour has worn out the en- tire heel. They are becoming, though, I'll admit, since they make shapeless l1zs look shapely and fat legs look siender, merely by their quality of shading. As for shoes, I'd advise you for your health and comfort to wear low-heeled, round-toe misses’ shoes frequently, if you can find a shop that sells them. Most shops do, incidentally, either in regular or a special shoe department. As an added inducement, misses’ shoes if the styles are not so fancy, that's only another point in their favor. Little by little,women are taking up the low-heel shoe style, which I have been urging for several years. The result is that low heels are much smarter for daytime wear ‘than high ones, because only a few women wear them instead of everybody. 1If you want attractive feet, unusual in ap- pearance and smarter than most, wear these low-heel shoes and stockings as nice as you can afford.
