WOMAN'S PAGE. Books and Bookcases in the Home BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. The utilarian bookcase does not lack in decorative appeal. Bookcases may be considered as deco- | valwr.

The books that she had could well be accommo- dated on the four-foot book shelf. She bought the bookcase, and had 1t filled with editions bought by the deco- | rator. It certainly looked handsome in | her well appointed living room. Her | sole object in having the bookcase was | that of attractive interior decoration. ‘The books did not feed her soul, but the beauty of the furniture did. One| rather sympathizes with the viewpoint of the bookiover, however. whose devo- tion to books would repudiate such dis- | crimination. It is when the books are so rare that they call for a bookcase to accord with their excellence that the book collectos delights in a handsome bookcase. It must be confessed, however, that book- lovers are apt to content themselves ‘with bookshelves and rely on the con- tents to have the special appeal. ‘The home decorator who enjoys her books and has the small lbrary she | possesses housed on painted book shelves has a bond in common with the book collector who has an exten- sive library.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. THE DAILY HOROSCOPE Sunday, Pel;runry 26. Astrologers read tomorrow as rather & menacing day in planetary direction —a day that should encourage attend- ance at church and avoldance of many personal contacts. There is an aspect tending to make both men and women dodge the truth and practice deception. Family quarrels should be prevented even more cautiously than usual, for under this direction of the stars they may easily become serious. Divorces and marital troubles are supposed to be precipitated under this planetary government, which encour- ages double-dealing. This is read as unfavorable for meet- ings between persons of opposite sex. Warning is given against indulgence in criticism or fault-finding of any sort. This is one of the evidences of foolish egotism. ‘The seers foretell a Nation-wide agi- tation to restore a sense of the sacred- ness of human life. Increase of mur- der and suicide will be marked the first half of 1928, they predict. The speculative tendency, which will be demonstrated as widespread this year, will increase gambling, astrologers foretell. Women as well as men will indulge in rash ventures that will entail heavy losses, it is forecast. and society will play cards with hectic interest. The desire for excitement is to reach its climax in this decade, when the search for pleasure will bring about serious results, the seers warn. Persons whose birth date it is should not lend money in the coming year, and they should be especially careful in making contracts. Children born on that day probably will have executive ability. Many able architects are born under this sign.

It was the first report of Mr. Stoddert o Congress as head of the newly organized Navy Department, which was influential in obtaining today from Congress an ap- propriation of $1.000,000 to build six ships of war and purchase grounds for six navy yards, one of which was to be at Washington and another st Nor- folk, Va.

I am desperately in love with a fine young man who loves me, but who cannot marry for several years because he cannot afford now to support a family. A wealthy man wants to marry me and my mother insists upon my marrying him, because he can help our family, and we are poor. Shall I marry this rich man, even though my poor sweetheart has my heart and_soul? 1 could make the best of it—be a good wife and No. 2 need never know. Is not my duty to my mother more thap my own happiness? I am nearly insane i trying to decide what I should do. : Answer: Listen to your own heart, Leola, and not to your mother's fallacious arguments. No sophistry can make wrong right or good come of doing evil, so don't let her persuade you into committing a crime against yourself, your sweet- m’.nb:m:\ the innocent rich man whom she also proposes to sacrifice for her own benefit, No girl is ever placed in a.crueler situation than you are, for your own mother is demanding of you your life and happiness in payment for her care of you. * And it is hard to refuse her because you love her, because you have always obeyed her and because of your sense of duty to her. And it takes more courage and backbone than the average child possesses to defend its own rights against its parents. Your mother justifies herself in the hard bargaln she is trying to drive with you by saying to herself that it is for your own good; that she doesn’t want you to marry a poor man, as she did, and to have to go through all the struggle and anxiety and hara work that she has; that, after all, romance lasts but a short time, and after it is gone all husbands are more or less alike and all disappointing; and that then the only thing that matters is whether the man. can give his wife an establishment and cars and fine clothes. But this is not true. It is love and nothing but love that makes marriage a success. Rich food does not satisfy the woman who is starving for love and tenderness. A shopping ticket does not take the place of companionship and a heart can ache just as intolerably under chiffon velvet as it can under homespun. No woman who marries one man loving another will ever have one hour’s peace or contentment no matter how her husband loads her down with Jewels or how many country places and town houses he bestows upon her. You haven't any right to ruin your own life to please your mother by marrying this man for whom you do not care. Still less have you the right to ruin the life of the fine young man who loves you, as you will do if you blast his faith in women by permitting yourself to be sold to the highest bidder. Nor have you any right to ruin your wealthy suitor’s life by perpetrating a particularly mean fraud upon him. For well you know that he would not marry you if he knew that you were only marrying him for his money and that your heart and soul belonged to another man and he was only getting the outside shell of you. Having money does not change man's nature, and the rich man | wants his wife's undivided affections just as much as the poor man does. Therefore, refuse to listen to your mother's selfish and evil counsel. It is bad advjce from every point of view. Moreover, mothers are poor pickers, and { they are so greedy to get at a little money that is in the hand, so anxious to | cash in on their pretty daughters, that they overlook what they call on Wall | Street “the long pull.” | I have known many a mother to break off her daughter's marriage with a | poor young man and force and cajole her into a marriage with a rich man, and | 20 years later 1 have seen the poor young man rich and prosperous and sitting | In the seats of the mighty, while the former rich man had lost his ‘money and was a down-and-outer and his wife took in boaiders to support him. 50 tell your mother that you will work to support her, but that you will not 11 yourself in marriage. | There is no justification of that and it never brings happiness. 5 DOROTHY DIX. o . ;DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I am a steno-bcokkeeper, have a good business reputation and can command a good salary. When I was married I did | more than my share toward furnishing a home and I kept on with my job until | my baby was coming. Now my husband insists on my going back to work and | says we will never have a home unless I help earn it at my trade. But I am | old-fashioned and domestic, and I feel that a woman's place, who has children, | is In her home, and that nobody can take care of a baby as its mother can. I don’t feel that I would be satisfied to leave my baby to a young girl, who is the only person we could afford to hire. What do you think about this? MRS. W. 0. s. Answer: You are absolutely right and your husband is entirely wrong in the positions you take in this matter. So long as there are no children lhrfr 15 no reason why a woman should not keep on with her Job after marriage if she s desires and if she and her husband consider it best.

FEATURES,” Cars and Costumes Harmonize BY MARY MARSHALL. ‘Member the time when we thought we just had to wear goggles and linen dusters and weird, mushroom hats and yards and yards of veil whenever we went out for a ride in an automobile? And we called them horseless carriages, too, to start with, and lost our breath if we went as fast as 20 miles an hour. Maybe you're too young and maybe you'd rather not admit you remember anyway. It ever women did look grotesque it was when they were all dressed up for one of those horseless buggy rides, only usually they felt rather grand, because it was something in those days even to have a second cousin twice removed who possessed one of those new con- And for a good many years it ‘apparently didn't occur to any one that the linen duster could be made along smart lines. The idea was to use year before last's pattern and to get 1t at least two sizes larger than you needed. Now, of course, no one really has to wear special clothes for motor wear. Most people have closed cars and all hats fit closely enough to withstand the wind even in an open car. But of late years dressmakers have been turning their attention to specially de- signed motor raiment, not as a matter of necessity but rather as a sort of luxury item in the wardrobes of women who always choose to fit their apparel to the occasion and the place. But almost any woman who can afford a car can afford to have the costume she wears most frequently when driving chosen to harmonize with her car. If your car is of a sedate dark gray you will look smart in a dark gray coat and close-fitting felt hat with perhaps a red scarf or a red flower in your buttonhole. A woman I knew recentlv sent her car to be repainted—though it had been driven less than a year and was certainly not in need of the treatment. But, as she explained, she had decided on a billiard green ensem- ble for Spring and the car was blue— and it was cheaper, as she figured it, to The Sidewalks An investigator for a large corpora- tion is in Washington on business for his company.
