WOMAN'S PAGE. Irteresting Work on Tassels BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. TASSELS FORM THE EMBROIDERY, THE EDGE OF BOTH FOR THE FABRIC AND FOR THIS COVER. | Embrofdery tassels are fascinating | in needlework. Without actually being difficult to make they secm to be in- tricate, and they certainly are ex tremely ornamental. They are used in Italian and Maitese embroideries « particularly, being incorporated in the stitchery as well as making finishing touches for edges. In the United States such tassels are found in fancy work of certain types, and on frock especially those embroidered in Mal 1ehe style. The tassels lend delight- fully ornamental notes wherever used and they are in high favor. ‘The Maltese embroidery, originated by the islanders of Malta and peculiar to their fancy work, consists of tasels used as stitch elements In carrying out designs, and also in finishing edges of work. It is used for ornamenting household accessories used in interior decoration, such as cushion covers, cur- tains, scarfs, etc. Th tassels are now being used here in the same way and also as trimmings for frocks. They may be introduced at ends of stitchery to give a finish to vertical or horizontal lines of embroidery, or they may be introduced as a fringe below bands of braiding or fancy stitchery. Single Maltese Tassels. Single Maltese tassel stitches are made as follows: Mark each place where a tassel is to go by a short horizontal line equal to four threads in coarse goods or #x in fine weaves. Insert a needle, thr-aded with many strands of embroider; silk or wool, in the middle of the line, and bring it out at the left end. Insert the needle again at the extreme right end of line . and bring it up at the center. There should be a length not less than one- f or more than one inch of strands 10t drawn through the material when taking the first stitch. Hold these down with the thumb when taking tha second stitch that completes the tassel. Cutting. Draw the second stitch quite tight, before cutting the strands attached to the needle. These should be cut the same length as those left in a cluster when the tassel was started. The two stitches complete the tassel the cut strands forming the fringed ends, with a straight stitch across the top secur- ing them. When such tassels finish the edges of goods make the number required before turning the hem. They are close tassels in which only the fringe will extend beyond the goods. These single Maltese tassels are excel- lent to use to finish strips of em broidery on fronts of dresses, on sleeves, etc. Double Maltese Stitch. The ‘double Maltese stitch is begun exactly as the single, except that the horizontal stitch is taken under the cluster of strands. Draw this stitch tight. Then repeat the stitch, putting a gauge, either a pencil or a narrow piece of stiff cardboard, over the strands before inserting the needle in the same place from which it came in order to begin the doubling of the stitch. The strands should be brought over the upper part of all stitches when repeating the second stitch of the work, which is actually the fourth and last stitch. Cut the loop and both ends of the group of strands evenly. The Daily Cross-Word Puzzle (Copyright. 1927.) Long telegram. Organ of hearing. . A substitute for butter. Mountain in Crete.

It was of woven gold chains interlaced closely. On the same day she received a let- “ie participated in | ter from her sister, who was in Paris. She told Nancy of the vogue for gold jewelry. She mentioned one of her new sets, made of a bright gold, which was not yellow or white, but almost the old-fashioned green gold. It was finished with a satin texture. The earrings and bracelet were made of thin, leaflike gold plates which over- lapped, but which were so put to- gether that the bracelet was flexible as a woven cord. (Copyrizht, 1927.)

IDorothyDix‘ | | Pleads for Chil'lren of Separated Parents. The Real Victims of Diverce. “It Takes Both Father and Mother to Bring Up a Child Properly,” She Says, Urging Mismated Couples Not to Part. "THE country is full of men and women who, finding that matrimony does not come up to all of their romantic expectations, eall marriage a fallure and rush away to the divorce court. They have no serious, unforgivable cause of offensn against each other. Thoy are merely uncongenial. They quarrel. They argue. They irritate each other. And so they decide that they would be happler apart than they are together. Many husbands and wives do not wear well Very likely this is true. connubial life fail to exhibit the charms and and in the close intimacy of | graces that made them alluring in the days of courtship. Thousands of men and women who marry in all good faith, really believing that they are in love, find that they were honestly mistaken In their own emotion and that what they thought was a deathless passion was merely a passing fancy. But most of these people have children, and that alters the whole status of the case. Those who have brought children into the world have glven hostages to fortune. They are bound by the most solemn and awful obligation that a human being can assume, and they are no longer free to seek their own hadpiness. Their first duty s not to themselves, but to the poor, hel’)less little creatures upon whom they have thrust unasked the burden of existence and to whom they are in all honor bound to give at least a sporting chance in life. And this the child of divorced parents does not have. Tt is so heavily handicapped that it is almost a miracle if it wins through it all. It lacks the atmosphere of a happy home in which childhood alone flourishes and grows up and develops into fine, sturdy, normal youth. It lacks the love and tenderness and wisdom and strength and guh’zun::e gl both a father and a mother. . NO wonder that the children of divorced parents are so often abnormal, that they are so frequently mentally and morally lopsided, believing in nothing, with no philosophy save that of the grab-bag that makes them grasp at every passing pleasure, without counting the cost to themselves or others! No wonder that the police and those who have to deal with delinquent children tell us that most of the youthful criminals of both sexes come from wrecked homes. A most tragic illustration of the effect of divorce on the child has been brought to our attention by the case of a young lad who is accused of having murdered his mother to get her money. The boy’s mother and father were good people, but they couldn’t get along together, so they separated and the mother kept the child. He was her all, so she adored him and spoiled him, and he grew up selfish and undisciplined, knowing no law but his own sweet will. Inevitably he went wild—associated with bad company and became dissipated and got into trouble. Just before the mother was killed she wrote a pathetic letter to his father telling him that she could do nothing with the boy and begging him to help control him. But it was too late. Between them the mother and father had thrown away the father’s rights to interfere in the boy’s life. Nor had he anything to appeal to in the boy’s heart. There was no tle of father and son between them. The father had broken that years before. Besides, parental influence is not a magic that you conjure up at will. It is something that is planted in the cradle and that grows with a child’s growth and strengthens with its strength. And it is made up of all the million little things that mold a boy’s or a girl's life into a certain pattern. Of course, one cannot say definitely that If this boy’s parents had not been divorced he would have been a model of all the virtues. But one can say, beyond all peradventure of doubt, that if he had been brought up in a peaceful home, with both a mother and a father to guide and control him, he would have had a hundred times better chance to develop into a good man than he had. 5 For it takes both a mother and a father to rear a child properly, else the good Lord would not have bothered to give children two parents instead of one. CEE N cases of divorce the courts nearly always give the childrento the mother, ‘which is doubtless the best thing that can be done under the circumstances, as the mother can at least make a home for her youngsters and provide for their physical wants, but thete are very few women who are fit to bring up a family of children single-handed. Mothers are too soft. They lack the strength and backbone to fight with strong-willed youngsters determined on having their own way. There also comes a time in the life of every boy and girl when they despise their_mother’'s judgment, no matter how much they may love her personally. Years later they may come to revere her wisdom, but because she does not know the latest make of automobile, or the newest radio program, or Babe Ruth’s batting average, they consider themselves her mental superiors and patronize her accordingly. But they look up to their father because he is a man of the world and knows things they do not know. They are willing to listen to his advice, &n‘:i resperzlct his authority and will obey him because he has authority over er men. . Every child has the right to a settled and peaceful home. It has a right to a father and a mother. Deprive it of these, ai i Y defraud it of its fair chance in the world, Sl TR nd this is what makes it such a cruel and selfish thing for women to tako thelr own happiness at the expense of el Batee 1o real victims of every divorce.

U. 8 Patent Office ‘When head-butting was a popular sport?” The hardest head always won a contest. MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Tiny Blackheads. Blackheads and enlarged pores usu- ally go hand in hand, but sometimes the former appear in fine-textured complexious. On skins thus affected there seem to be hundreds of tiny black specks embedded in the pores. 1t is an impossible task to squeeze each one out individually, and yet, if they are left in, any one may develop into an ugly pimple. Skins that are blemished in this way are usually of a sensitive nature; they smart and become blotchy when washed with ordinary soap. They are usually too oily also, so that powder cakes upon them. Complexions of this type are the despair of their own- ers. But there is always hope, if one is willing to work patiently for results and to forego the temptation of con- cealing the blackheads with thick make-up instead of removing their cause. Blackheads are little oil glands that are clogged with grime, and they re- sult in the first place from lack of thoroughness in cleansing the face. The skin is not like an enameled sur- face that may be cleaned by simply running a damp cloth over it. The skin fs full of tiny glands called pores, some of which exude oil and some sweat, The dust'from the atmosphere settles on this uneven skin and mixes with the secretions that ooze from its glands. Face powder also helps clog the pores when it is used carelessly. It the skin is not cleansed thoroughly every day the grime remains in the pores and forms blackheads. The only cure for the condition is to dissolve and wash out the dirt. First, remove surface dust with cold cream. Wring out a Turkish face cloth in hot water and hold it over the face to steam the pores open. Now make a rich lather on the face cloth and rub it gently into the skin. It is a good plan to use cornmeal soap for the purpose. Make the soap by shaving and melting pure castile soap to a jelly, and then add enough fine cornmeal to make a thick mixture that may be molded into cakes before Duodenal Ulcer Complex. A smoothly working operator (he calls himself a surgeon) thinks no more of opening a case of presumptive duodenal ulcer than some men do of breaking out a fresh can of tobacco for a famished pipe. 1If, on opening the supposititious ulcer fails to ma- terialize, the operator takes consola- tion in the thought that maybe a com- plete rest in hospital, low diet, and the sanitary influence of all the nurses and doctors milling about during con- valescence will relieve the patient con- siderably. The diagnosis of peptic (gastric stomach) or duodenal ulcer became so popular, among the operators, that for a time a patient who confessed to pain, food, comfort and pain, in just that order, was practically convicted out of court and entered on some oper- ator's operable list. Now for the special benefit of our readers who maye have the symptom complex and also a pipe and some to- bacco, 1 am pleased to offer today a match. Dr. Irving Gray, Brooklyn, presented before a specialists’ section demure as one wishes, according to the requirements of the breakfast room's color scheme.

TALT, MALE, at the recent American Medical Asso- ciation meeting a study of a series of 250 cases in which this annoying symptom complex—pain, food, com- fort, pain—occurred, and with callous disregard for the feelings of the oper- ators_in the audience Dr. Gray as- serted that in 82 of these cases (32 per cent) there was no ulcer, but some- thing else again, The actual causes of the symptom complex in these 82 cases of putative gastric or duodenal ulcer, according to Dr. Gray’s tabula- tion, 'were as follows (save the match till we're all ready): Tobacco smoking, 35 cases; chronic gall bladder disease (with or without stones), 18 cases; constitutional condi- tions, 15 cases; chronic appendicitis, 7 cases; miscellaneous, 7 cases. It would be no grave mistake to open a case of gall bladder disease, with or without stones, or a case of chronic appendicitis, under the im- pression that the patient had ulcer. The necessary disposal could be made of the lesion and the patient forgiven for the deception. But how sad to malke such a fuss and muss in order to determine that a patient is suffer- ing from tobaccolsm. Among the 35 tobacco smokers with CH CHEAP, CHE elght steps. the duodenal ulcer symptom complex there were, alas, two women, aged 21 and 23 years, both having smoked about 15 cigarettes a day over a pe- riod of two years, one having had the pain, food, comfort, pain complex about seven months, the other about a year. The rest were men of the aver- age age of 42 years, and they were about equally divided between cigars and cigarettes, Make what you will of this interesting observation—only one of the 35 victims of tobaccoism smoked a. pipe. Dr. Gray doesn’t tell what kind of pipe or even what brand of tobacco the lone good fellow used. It might be well to use a dozen or more different kinds of pipes, if you imagine there is anything in the co- incidence. (Copyright. 1927.)

October 17, 1783.—The first recorded mention of the place ultimately se- lected for the National Capital was made this day in the Continental Congress, which on the same day also enacted the first measure requiring the surrender by the States of terri- torial jurlsdiction over whatever site might be chosen, October 17, 1790.—President Wash- ington, having finished his inspection of the site between Rock Creek and the Eastern Branch proposed for the new Capital, started for Great Falls and up-river points to view other pro- posed sites. October 17, 1791.—In the presence of President Washington, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, the first public auction sale of lots in the city began this. day. The weather was so inclement that the prospective buyers could not meet on the ground, and it is supposed that the auctioneer, James McKenna, conducted the sale at the Fountain Inn, near the foot of Wisconsin avenue, for John Suter, proprietor of this inn, was duly paid “for wine and wood furnished at the sale of lots,” according to the records. October 17, 1859.—Unusual excite- ment prevailed in the city this day when word came that John Brown had raided Harpers Ferry during the night and was in possession of the United States arsenal there. Fear of a general slave uprising in the South was expressed, and the helplessness of the Capital in the face of the threatened disturbance was made ap- parent. An early attack on this city was expected and there was grave apprehension of a slave insurrection here. October 17, 1863.—President Lincoln called for 300,000 more men for the Union Army to serve three years. - Chipped Beef.

WORLD-FAMOUS STORIES THE MYSTERIOUS MANSION BY HONORE (Honore de Balzac. 17091850 is one of the moat famous of the French novelists. He produced an immense number of novels and short stories which were finally gath- ered together ynder the well knowp, blanket utle of fuman Comedy.” ~The pres- n French title “La Grande About a hundred yards from the town of Vendome, on the borders of the Lofre, there is an old gray house, surmounted by very high gables, and 30 completely isolated that neither tan- vard nor shabby hostelry, such as you may find at the entrance to all small towns, exists in its immediate neigh- | borhood. Tt is entirely deserted. The roof is horribly di ated; the doors are perpetu ore an 18 mystery. 1 wondered what could have hap. pened here to make this mansion so completely abandoned. So when my landlady seemed ready to com- municate a secret, stened well. “Sir,” she said, “when the Em peror sent Spanish prisoners here a young Spaniard on parole was quartered on me — a _ Spanish grandee, no less! Oh, but he was a handsome young man! He didn’t eat much; but his manners were so polite so amiable, that one could not owe him a grude. He read his breviary ! like a priest, and he went to mass and to all the services regularly. Where did he sit? Two steps from the chapel of Madame de Merret. No one sus- pected anything there, for he scarcely raised his eyes from his prayerbook After that, sir, in the evening he would walk on the mountains, among the castle ruins. From the commence ment of his stay here he remained out late. We got accustomed to this. Then one of our stablemen told us that when he led the horses to water in the evening he thought he had seen the Spanish grandee swimming far down the river like a live fish. When he returned, I warned him of the rushes; he appeared vexed to have been seen In the water. At last one day he did not return. His clothes were found under a big stone by the river side near the castle. We burned his clo'hes and reported that he had escaped. They searched, but never caught him. My husband thought he drowned himself, but I—I think it was .omething to do with the affair of Madame de Merret, especially as Ro- salie told me that Madame had a cru cifix of ebony and silver, and the aniard bought one just like it on- day.” I immediately sought out Rosalie. but it was no easy matter to get her to talk. I would strike up a friend ship with her, if needs be. One morn ing I got the story, which I'll retell for you. Madame de Merret’s room in the mysterious mansion had been on th¢ ground floor, with a little closet, abou* four feet deep, for her wardrobe. For three months befors the fatal evening of which I am to tell, Madame had been so indisposed that her hus band had Yeft her to herself on the grotind floor, while he occupled an other apartment on the next floor above. One night he returned home from the club two hours later than usual; his wife supposed he was at home, in bed and asleep. Tonight he took it into his head to tell his wife of his losses at cards. At dinner, he remembered, Madame was most co- quettishly attired and it had occurred to him that she was restored to good health. So Monsieur de Merret went to his wife's chamber by the light of a lantern he deposited on the first step of the stalrcase. His unmiistak- able step resounded in the vaulted corridor. At the moment the Count turned the knob of his wife’s door, he fancied he heard the door of the ward robe closet close; but when he entered Madame de Merret was alone before the flireplace. The hushband at first thought Rosalie was in the closet. He looked at his wife and saw in her eyes no one knows what wild and hunted expression. “You are very late,” she said. Monsieur de Merret did not reply for at that moment Rosalie entered. It was not she who was in the closet. “Are you unwell?” asked his wife, and then to her maid: “You may leave me now.” When they were alone, or supposed they were alone (for Rosalie loitered in the corridor), the count accosted his wife: “Madame, there is some one in your closet!"” She replied simply, “No, sir.” The count did not believe her. He went to open the closet door, but madame warned him that if he found no one there all was over between them. Her dignity restored the count’s esteem for her. He picked up her crucifix and said: “Swear to me before God that there is no one in there and I will believe you.” “I swear,” she said. Her husband examined the crucifix curiously. Madame acknowledged she had bought it at Duvivier's. Then the count rang for Rosalie, who did not keep him waiting, and took her aside. Ha knew, he said, that Gorenflot wished to marry her, poverty being the one drawback. He urged her to get Gorenflot, who wished to become a master mason, and have her bring his trowel and tools. He imposed strict secrecy upon her and ordered all the other servants to bed. The count had been having the ceilings repaired, so plaster of paris was in the house, as it happened. Gorenflot arrived.
