WOMAN'S PAGE. Memories May Be Stimulated BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Memory is a strange thing. Just how the modern philosophers are mak- Ing It more elusive than ever before. It is even questioned whether persons uctually have any memories! But, whether fhey succeed in convincing us that we haven't or not, we do know that we have something that makes us recall with vividness events that once occurred. Also we do <know that by repeating words over with | MEMORIZING BE__DONE /| WHILE DRESSING IF THE WORDS ARE PLACED WHERE THEY CAN BE SEEN READILY. coneentration we come to know them by heart. Whether this is memoriz- ing or whether we shall learn to call | orize. remains that we can recall the words both by our voluntary. wish or by assoclation of ideas that lead our :hmghl to the substance of the hing. Avold Lazy Mind. ‘We call this “learning” when chil- dren study their lessons so thoroughly that they “know” them when the time to recite comes. We call per- sons “learned” whose minds are full of information that can be given when |needed. To fall to remember is con- sidered a sign of declining years, when the brain refuses to act as vigor- ously as in early life. But there is also a laziness of mentality that can be spurred on to better retention of ideas If the person will exert himself or herself., Memorizing. 1t is well to keep our minds in train- ing lest others discover either that we are a bit stupid by mental laziness or else are growing old. Neither of these things is pleasing to think of in our- | selves and is no more pleasant to have | others think of us. So it behooves us to keep our minds stimulated. We should ‘try to learn something new each day. It may be a plece of poetry that we commit to memory. Poetry is apt to be chosen because there is a lilt and a rhythm that makes it easler than other literature to mem- If we are very busy we can keep a book open before us while we do some task. Or we can write down the poem—or the paragraph—and set it on our bureau to study while we dress or go about our household tasks. Copying the words helps to impress them on our minds. Storing Treasures. Because homemakers’ days are so full of manual duties—that is, if they do their own work—it is of importance for them to keep their minds in train- ing. Unless they feed them with fine thoughts or with knowledge of what is going on in the world, they are sure to dwell with too much vigor on minor matters. They go over little occur- rences of no significance and magnify them by repeated thought until they blot out or blur the larger and finer things. By concentration during some period of the day upon the beauties of poetry or the gripping passages of literature or the significant matters of the world they keep young, they keep interesting to their husbands and friends, they keep up with their chil- dren in their mental progress, and they lay up for themselves pleasant it by some different name, the truth thoughts for quiet hours. WHEN WE GO SHOPPING BY MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN. Seen But Not Heard. Gloves are never heard, but they are always seen, and for that reason they must be selected with the ut- most ‘care.” Gloves are part of every woman's street costume, and a poor selection of gloves may spoil the ef- fect of the perfect coat or dress or suit. Like so.many other accessories of dress, gloves should be bought to “go well with” one's costume. Some gen- eral rules—kid gloves for furs, silk gloves with lingerie dresses—may be given, but every woman prefers to judge for herself. Heavy tailored gloves, for example, ‘worn with a frail lace dress, would look ridicu- lously out of place. g The reddish brown or tan kid or suede glove is the best buy for street or travel wear. (Chamois gloves are also appropriate and:though. they soil more quickly, -they. are also more easily washed. In most instances, women agree, black gloves may only worn appropriately with black clothes, ‘White gloves have passed into cate- gory of the “has been” for various reasons. White gloves are usually stiff and starchy, and tend to en- large the appedrance of the hand. ‘With some costumes, white gloves are a necessity, but they are no longer selected for general wear or street wear at all. Belge, slate gray, French gray, light tan, and similar colors are con- sidered more appropriate and suit- able. - The dull shades, especially those made of unglazed leather, make one’s hands look smaller, and the colors themselves blend better with one's " costumes, The light-colored gloves are invariably made in wash« able leathers, so that there is no question of economy involved. Quality and workmanship are the two buying points of the skilled shopper after she has made her choice of color, or before. In kid gloves look for firm skins elastic enough to give readily with the movements of the hands, yet flexible enough to return task ench day — ovll find that when the right time comes The flg"st th'mg happens anywas Checks Dandruff—Sure Superfine Toilet Soap to shape. The material in & fabric glove should receive one’s attention, too. There are fabric gloves made of fine silks and mercerized cottons, and fabric gloves made of cheap, thin, sleazy fabrics. Of course, the‘latter will not wear well, and it is doubtful if they are cheap at any price. The gloves that you buy should be from fresh stock, and well fitted to your hands. Test the buttons, straps, and so forth before laying down your money. Try on both gloves to make sure of the seams, and if you buy more than a pair at a time be sure to verify the sizes of each pair.

I come constantly to think that we Americans deserve our title of im- politeness. This youth, who has grown up from birth in this country of ours, and who is admittedly 100 per cent American, feels that when the flag goes by on a staff he is sup- posed to uncover, but that when it goes by over a casket it should not be necessary. In many countries, a flag is not necessary for the by- standers to uncover their heads at Willie Willis BY ROBERT QUILLEN. “1 knew that new boy would steal marbles when he told me an’ Pug his folks had to give him a nickel to get him to be good.” » (Copyright, 1927 Health . .. flavor . . . and convenience—now combined!

Here, a youth feels that the hearse makes an ex- cuse for not uncovering for his flag. A friend of his ‘“rudely,” to use his words, pushed his hat off and- it dropped to the ground. A quarnel of some length was forthcoming, and this boy wishes me to sanction his nobility and condemn the “rudeness” of_his friend. Rude as ‘the friend may have seemed to be, he was far less the of- fender than were you yourself, young man. Good manners in this particu- lar instance would have been more than mere form—they would have indicated a kindness of heart on your part, and a reverence for your flag, however. it was displayed. Never fear to do the nice thing, or fear be- ing ridiculed, which is what you an- ticipated, I am sure. Only when we are continuously conscious of our- selves are we ridiculous, and if we are natural and kindly, we are sure never to be rude. If your Stars and Stripes pass by you again—whether they be over the casket of a man who proudly may have them there, or whether they be at the head of a parade—yoli remove your hat, even if the throng fails to follow your ex- ample, for to be a 100 per cent Amer- ican is to be 100 per cent fearless in all things. Puffed Rice Candy. Boil one and one-half cupfuls of mo- lasses until it thickens. When well thickened, add one tablespoonful of butter and stir well. Add one-fourth teaspoonful of soda dissolved in a little water, and stir well together. Put one package of puffed rice in a pan in the oven and stir it to keep it from browning. When the rice is well hardened, pour the molases over and stir all together and pour on a well buttered platter and cut in squares while hot, then shake a little salt on it.

Mrs, A. K. writes: articles in the paper every day find them very helpful. I note that you advise no veils or blankets over a baby's face. My baby is two and one-half months old and I find that he gets wind colic when I take him out, even if he has a blanket loosely around his face. “I don't like to have him cry from this. It would seem that a little baby would get awfully cold without any protection. “How often should T nurse the baby? T have been feeding him ir- regularly; would this make him fussy und fidgety Answer.—I can't imagine taking a small baby out unless protected by a carrlage, whose hood is lowered so thit no cold draughts can blow, in the baby'n face. If the baby is carried (und I don’t think he should be) nat- urally you must protect his face by having the blanket drawn up so that the wind does not strike him. yme mothers literally bury the d upder a blanket drawn clear over his head. I see no reason for taking him outdoors at all if,he isn't to get the benefit of some of the air and If he is sleeping with a blanket drawn over his face, he is breathing his own breath, not fresh air. Vells are an abomination. They get wet and cold from the baby's breath and stick to his face, hurting his eyes and making his face chapped. The first duty of every mother is to feed her baby regularly. A regu- lated world in which eating and sleep- ing come at fixed times is the most comfortable and satisfactory world for a baby to live in. If his nursing hours are irregular, his sleeping hours will be, too, and it is from these bad beginnings that arise sleepless days and nights for the baby. Sleeping 1s a habit and in order to start the habit one must establish reg- ular hours and stick to them. The baby should be fed once every three or four hours in the day time and twice at night. It isn’t literally necessary to strip a baby in order to give him the benefit of sun baths. Sun can penetrate thin clothing. A 15-minute sun bath a day, with the baby’s face protected, would be fine in any but our bitterest Win- ter climates. «h The baby of five months getting prune, orange and tomato juice does not need vegetables until later.

Dear Miss Leeds—I had an abdomi- nal operation two-years ago and am still very thin and unable to go back to business. I am 32 years old. Pre- vious to my operation, I had a good complexion of fine texture, white with high color. While it used to be dry and sensitive, it is more so now and besides the pores are much enlarged. T always uge cold cream after wash- ing with soap and water. MARAH S. A. Answer—Your complexion will im- prove as you regain your normal health and weight. Please send a stamped, self-addresed envelope for my leaflets on “How to Gain Welght” and “Care of Dry Complexions.” The cold cream should be used before the soap and water cleansing. Using it after- ward, without following with an astringent - application, causes the pores to relax. 1 would advise you to use @ mixture of pure Castile soap and almond meal (or oatmeal) to wash your face. Shave and melt the soap t a jelly with hot water and then stir in the meal. Before the mixture cools shape it into cakes of conven- ient size. After washing and rinsing your face, bathe it in cold water -for several minutes and then cry the skin thoroughly. LOIS LEEDS A Drooping Eyelid.

(4) I am 17 years old and have a medium complexion, dark-brown wavy hair and light brown eyes. What colors should ¥ wear?” MISS KITTY. Answer—(1) There is no home treat ment for this condition.
