Cotton and Linen for Fall Wear BY MARY Cotton has its place in the Autumn and Winter wardrobe, just as surely as wool has its place in‘the Spring and Summer collection of clothes. And this year it is possible to buy new types of cotton and linen materials designed specially for Autumn—showing designs “of the newer sort and colors of the rich, MARSHALL. to be washed any sooner than a silk skirt would have to be sent to the cleaners. With this was worn a blouse of fine cotton voile and over it a hip- length jacket of velveteen—which is, of course, also cotton. If you have not seen any of the new figured cotton foulards you cannot guess how attractive they are. For a young girl who wishes to have a number of attractive evening frocks at small cost I cannot urge too strongly the use of some of the lovely light cot- ton fabries which have been used so successfully for evening frocks during the Summer. Organdy in light pastel tones makes a frock that compares favorably with the frock of tulle, and there arc some new dotted swisses witn metal threads that are as intercsting &s any of the new silk materials. The new lingerie from Parls is orna- mented with little posies made from pastel-colored ribbon. Nightgowns have one at the front and one on each shoulder. They are not hard to make and need very little ribbon, so that the cost is trifing. If you would like to make some of these please send me a stamped, self-addressed envelope, and T will send you directions and sketch at once. (Copyright. 1928 THE DAILY HOROSCOPE Sunday, September 16. Benefic aspects dominate tomorrow, according to astrology, which finds in the horoscope much to cheer and en- courage dwellers on the planet Earth. The rule is most favorable to the clergy, and especially to those of high rank who have become leaders of the people. Under this direction of the stars there may be a deepening of feeling that accents prejudice and increases loyalty to sects or denominations. There is a sign supposed to stimu- late faith into fanaticism, and for this reason there is likely to be ultimately much gain from the Autumn’s religious efforts along many diverse lines of thought. ‘Women come into their own at this time, when they will render splendid public service, while at the same time they excel in all the feminine arts. Astrologers predict that in the reac- tionary movement already evident women will gain in charm, and will en- joy much of the old-time reverence that DRAWN WORK, FINE EMBROIDERY AND PIN TUCKS GIVE ELABORA- TION TO THIS FROCK OF BLUE HANDKERCHIEF LINEN.

Just as it is possible to get woolen materials of so light and fine a weave as to suggest silk, so now it is possible to get cottons that combine some of the advantages of woolens and silks, while retaining their cotton characteristics as well. The chief advantages of cotton are, I suppose, its low cost and the ease with which it may be washed. The other day I saw a really charm- wear for many weeks to come and very mice for indoor wear all Autugn. It consisted of a skirt made of pleat fig- ured cotton foulard. The pleats were fairly wide side pleats that could with- out difficulty be put in place after the preceded modern progress. Lovemaking will flourish under this direction of the stars, under which even plain girls will seem to be beautiful. This is read as a lucky rule for en- ements, and even for weddings. It is foretold that many marriages will be celebrated on Sundays, since pomp and ceremony will become less common than formerly. Music is subject to the best possible planetary influences, and the coming season of opera will awaken unprece- dented interest, it is forecast. According to ancient lore, tomorrow should be a lucky alay for wearing new clothing, and it is likely to be becoming. Hospitality is well directed tomorrow, when dinners and other social events should be especially successful. Astrologers promise closer relation- ship with South America, which will be connected by airplane lines.and long- distance telephones. Peace movements should flourish at this time, when there will be the para- dox of growing horror of war and added danger of conflict in other lands. Persons whose birth date is tomorrow have the augury of much new interest in life. - There may be journeys that bring money and new friends. These subjects of Virgo usually know how to make the most of life. Children born tomorrow should be exceedingly successful through life. They come into the world with high aspirations, which they are generally able to realize. They are naturally crit- ical and never satisfied with half-way achievements. skirt was washed, but it was of a dark figured design, so that it would not need (Copyright, 1928 MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS.

This will not only relieve the pain, but the un- sightly bunch. I know because I have done it at intervals for years. It is a very simple but effective cure. Please print this suggestion. M. A. C. Answer—I am glad to welcome sug- gestions from readers of this column. I am wondering if your remedy should called “effective” when you have been obliged to repeat it at intervals for years. A real cure, such as an operation, should rid you of the trouble permanently. I think you are making a rather sweeping statement when you say that such an operation “is never satisfactory.” “Never” is a long time! The operation for severe bunions is a painful one, but is the only permanent cure I know of ‘for bunions that have passed beyond the stage when local applications help. LOIS LEEDS.

Now that Peter Junior was making life interesting to Nancy and Peter, she 'was constantly on the lookout for some- thing to make or to buy for him. She saw a quilt like this in the shop and decided to make one for his crib. She chose Peter Pan cloth, which is a well- made gingham in soft, fast colors. She took cream color. pliqaed flowers in blue with pale green leaves and stems. She supposed the pink and cream one which she copied was designed for a girl and that the flowers were roses, but her's were blue for a boy and forget-me-nots for flow- ers, She used a blanket stitch in fasten- ing flowers to background. The center was quilted in simple dia- monds, with more quilting run in close, parallel diagonals for the border. The back of crib quilt was blue. The edge binding was green. She saw another contrivance in a shop devoted to children’s apparel. At first she thought she was seeing minia- ture caps for newly-marceled hair. But children’s hair is never treated thus. On inquiry she found the cap, made of tape, was used to hold ears flat to the head. In making one, measure the child’s head from lobe to lobe. Then around the head over the ears.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Should a man past the age of 32, who has never been married and perhaps has passed the age of romantic love thrills, get married if he has found a girl who measures up to his ideal and in every way seems qualified as a life companion? A GEORGE R. Answer: He certainly should. I think that in the early 30s is the ideal time for a man to marry, and the psychological moment im which he is least likely to make a mistake in picking out his life mate. At that age a man has reached his full maturity. He has got his growth in mind as well as body. His tastes and ideals are formed. He knows what he wants in a wife and he has seen enough women to be able to judge between them and distinguish between dross and pure gold. The man who marries at 32 is not often fooled in a woman. He is not taken in by a pretty face that has no brains nor character behind it. Nor does he fall for cunning tricks that mask the artifices of the gold-digger. Like Mr. Kipling's hero, he has met many ladies and from every one he has learned something about women. And so when he comes to i)ick out a wife he brings the expert knowledge of the connoisseur to her selection. Also the man who marries in the 30s is pretty sure to stay married. He seldom tires of his wife and is rarely a philanderer, because for one thing his tastes do not change, and for another he is ready to settle down when he marries. He has had his fiing, and a home looks better to him than cabarets and jazz parties. ” distressful, deplorable, grievous, adverse, | Let use increase our | But why do yeu think that a man of 40 is past the age of romantic thrills? On the contrary, he has just come to it. No hobbledehoy schoolboy is capable of experiencing the grand passion. It takes a strong man to love wholly and completely, with a love that takes in body and soul and that survives life and dcnthfigumpnred to that, a boy's love is “as moonlight unto sunlight, or as water unto e.” A boy's love is a passing fancy awakened by any pretty face, transferred to the next pretty face. The girl a boy is crazy about today he will forget tomorrow. The girl Yle feels he cannot live without one week, he cannot live with the next week, and that is what makes early marriages so tragic. But the man’s love is made of sterner stuff. It is woven of his heart strings and is part and parcel of his very being, and when he loves a woman it is with a depth of passion and a completeness of which no boy even dreams. Perhaps the man of 30 doesn’t palpitate at the flutter of every skirt as does the boy of 20. Perhaps he seés no woman as a goddess, as the boy does. Perhaps he doesn't threaten to commit suicide, or think that he will pine away and die if he doesn’t get the woman he wants, as the boy does. Life has taught him to be discriminating. Life has taught him not to expect the impossible. Life has taught him self-control and given him the courage to carry on, no matter what happens. But when he loves a woman, he loves her for keeps, faults and all, and he makes her the best :)f 2“ goss_lble husbands. DOROTHY DIX. DEAR MISS DIX: What do you think of my husband stepping out with a friend of mine? He wants me to make a date for him with her. I had a good time before I was married, but then he didn’t go out with the girls. Now he thinks he would like to. I want him to have a good time and enjoy himself, but I don’t want him to go too far. He says he loves me dearly and I love him. He is a good husband and we have two darling little girls, but he hardly ever takes me out. Who should he spend his money on, girls or his wife? ANXIOUS WIFE. Answer: T should say he should spend his money on his wife, and that if he would step out with you a little more he wouldn't feel the need of any other diversion. . A wife who has a husband who craves amusement outside of the home circle and who is beginning to cast longing eyes at other women has a delicate and difficult problem to solve, because there is danger on every side of her. If she encourages him to go out with other women and have dates and to demean himself as a bachelor, he is likely to forget that there is a wife and babies waiting for him at home. And, on the other hand, if she tries to lock him up too tight égeullren rl;ome corral, he either sulks and feels himself a prisoner or else he jumps So she has to steer a middle course and be liberal with him, but not too liberal. Leave him free, but not too free. Let him go, but net too often, nor too far, nor too unchaperoned. So my suggestion is that while’ you should not be one of those foolish women who are 5o jealous that they cannot let their husbands speak to another woman without getting green-eyed and raising ructions you should also not be silly enough to encourage his attentions to other ladies, nor aid and abet him by making dates for him. So tell your husband that if he wants to go out with your friend it is all right, provided you go along, too. Safety first should be a wife's motto, and those homes are in least danger when friend wife is on the watch tower. o DOROTHY DIX. )JEAR DOROTHY DIX: I am a girl of 25 madly in love with a divorced man who has two children, 8 and 10 years old. Life would not be worth living without him, but should I marry him when I have such a deadly hate in my heart for his former wife that I hate his children because they are also her children? He wants me to forget that another woman has been his wife and says that I should be willing to accept her children as my own. I can't forget. {T hate her. I hate those innocent children because they remind me of the years he loved her. He thinks that I am being childish, but even when I am happlest that spark of murderous jealousy flares up and burns my heart down to the core. Will time change my attitude when I am married to him. MARIE. Answer: No. Because jealousy grows by what it feeds upon and the more you brood over this subject, the more morbid you will become. The more distorted your vision will be and the less capable you will be of seeing things in their true proportion. . [ Why don’t you have the courage and the common sense to face the truth ! and recognize how idiotically you are acting? To begin with, nothing can alter the fact that the man has been married, and presumably when he got married he was in love, or thought he was in love with the girl he married. But the love died. He was utterly disillusioned. Life with her proved so intolerable that he cm;‘ld not stand it, not even for the sake of his children, and he was divorced from her. Why be jealous of her? Surely there is no other woman in the world who has as little charm for him as she has, no other woman you. have so little reason to fear. It seems to me that you are making yourself and the man miserable for nothing, and that you are deliberately ruining your life by indulging in this orgy of hate. If you want to be happy, if you even want to keep yourself sane, you must put that away from you, or otherwise it will poison you, body and soul. But don't marry this man hating his children. It is a crime against them. A stepmother takes a great responsibility upon herself, and unless she can be a real mother and give a mother’s love and tenderness to her husband’s children, she has no right to take their young lives into her hands.

Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. September 15, 1861.—These was a continual- exchange of shots today be- tween Union and Confederate pickets between Baileys Cross Roads and Mun- son's Hill, less than half a dozen miles outside of Alexandria, according to word brought into this city. Two of the Confederate pickets ~apparently were killed, as they were seen to drop to _the ground end cease firing. | The pickets edge up to each other through the cornfields and along the fence, and when they obtain the least sign of each other’s presence they blaze away. On each side, however, they have learned to dodge the balls. Al- though this may seem incredible, it is reported to be a fact. They watch the little puffs of smoke that arise at the{ first discharge of the muskets of their adversaries and jump aside quickly be- fore the ball reaches thiem, or put them- | selves behind some impenetrable ob- | struction. The Michigan boys at this point com- plain that they are not furnished with efficient rifles while on advance picket duty, declaring their best marksmen are never sure of hitting twice in tihre same place with the muskets they have, more especially as the cartridges vary so in the amount of powder, ete. Nevertheless, they say they have been able to pick off some of the best Con- federate sharpshooters. With the exception of the fighting between pickets, all is quiet around the defense of Washington. The Confed- erates do.not appear to be in any great force at Munsons Hill and seem con- tent to proceed with the fortification of the place. They have a_battery, however, the nursery by Munson's house on the side of the hill. ‘There is no little chaffing between the opposing sentries when within ear- shot of each other. The following dia- logue took place today: Secesh: “When are you coming up to_take the hill?” Michigander: “Oh, after you is man- ners. When are you coming to take the Capitol?” Secesh: “Reckon you don't like the Bull'Run route to Mannasser.” Michigander: “Wahl, we kalclate ter go next time by way of Hatteras.” A large proportion of the Union of- ficers in Washington are gentlemen, but some are keeping bad company. Since the strict enforcement of the law prehibiting the sale of liquor to soldiers drunkenness has decreased in the ranks, but not among the officers. Two days ago an officer rode a horse on the paved sidewalk in front of the President’s house at a reckless pace, scattering women and children. SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y. CORY. Muvver! 'iss peach! Make Baby go ‘'way wif (Copyright. 1928.) BY D. C. PEATTIE. The harvest moon: The very words are conjurors of magic. They raise before th2 eyes of the mind the pic- ture of corn stacked in fields, the ripen- ing of orange-sided pumpkins, the breathless heavy splendor of the woods in Autumn, the sleep of tired country children, and the pathways through the grass known only to crickets and young lovers. Is it really true, as it seems, that the harvest moon is bloody, or at least a luminous orange? I try each year in my mind to disprove the thought, to look at the moon coldly and disbelieve that it is ruddier than at other times of year. For I see nosufficient reason that this should be so. Actually I know, of course, that the moon is a small cold sphere of rock—an airless, jagged waste of lava plains and craters. But the harvest moon is not an astronomical fact. It is a sentient thing, lifting its leering face over the .great black hip of the hill. It is a Bacchus drunk on Autumn’s grapes grinning down on harvest fields. The harvest moon has no merriment in it, like the slim quarter moons of Spring. Nor has it the sentimental silver-penny brilliance of the moon that looks down on Summer resorts and is beloved of lovers. Wise, ripe, and portly like an Edam cheese, or an old gentle- man accustomed to high-living, or a lantern burning in a sombre Manchu garden, it waxes and it wanes: DAILY DIET RECIPE BISQUE CREAM DESSERT.

During many years of a more or less diversified newspaper experience it has been our privilege to interyiew and sketch what are known as interesting people. Several of the subjects were Presidents of the United States. Others have been statesmen, actors, industrial leaders and parachute jumpers. One was a murderer. whose command of the English language should have taken him further than the “little green doc through which he ultimate- 1y walked The other day interviewed a “love doctor,” who gives advice to the lovelorn. Perplexed and broken-hearted sweethearts write to her ¢concerning their affairs and seek her judgment. She receives hundreds of letters a week. A young woman spurns the attentions of her boy friend and sald boy friend wants to know what to do about it. A young girl is madly in love with a youthful sheik who is no one-woman man. How shall she capture his devotion and hold it? “There is no one so serious as the young person in love,” said our friend. “The mail I receive proves it. I have been joshed by folks who do not take my work seriously, but the truth is that I regard it as of as much importance as parenthood. Most of those who communicate with me are usually un- willing to take their secrets to their parents for fear that they will be laughed at or ill-advised. Then again, parents are often prejudiced. An out- sider such as I am is better equipped to render a proper decision because I am not swayed by personalities. I do not know the principals in the case, so to speak, and judge the situation on its merits. You would be surprised at the intimacies confided in me. Not long ago a woman with three children wrote to me about her husband, who is in prison. A decent sort of fellow had fallen in love with her and wanted to marry ker, but her sense of loyalty to the man behind the bars caused her to hesitate. She wrote to me telling me “It isn't easy to solve such problems. For some reason we all like to feel that there is some one to whom we can take our troubles. I am a professional listener. I print my advice, but I do not gossip. I therefore retain the confi- dence of those who write to me. It happens so often, too, that those I have helped will write and tell me. Those who do not understand will continue to smile at the work I do, but I receive considerable satisfaction from the thought that I‘nn’: aiding others.” * x From a letter received: “My sister- in-law came into the city from New York one Sunday morning at 5 o'clock and not wishing to disturb the friends she was visiting so early went over to Capitol Park. There she noticed a Ger- man family who had been on the same train, strolling around, and presently the man came up to her and said, ‘Do you live in Washington?' She replied, ‘No, but I used to live here and know the city.’ He said, ‘Weli, can you tell me where is Washington City?" I thought it pretty good that one who was standing as nearly as possible in the center of the city should ask where it was.” * ok o K He was obviously lonesome. Perhaps this caused him to cross the corridor of the hotel and invite us to his room. It was a right nice room he occupied, but like all hotel rooms there was some- thing impersonal § about it. “Stand- 2 ardized” is the only word that expresses it. However, he had placed photo- graphs on the bu- reau and chiffo- nier, and these in- timate little effects gave the place something of cheer and warmth. “I suppose this is a picture ~ of your wife and young- sters,” we ventured. “No, I haven't any wife. It's a plcture of a friend’s fam- ily.” “How about this fine-looking young woman?” we asked. “I don't know who that is,” he responded. “To tell you the truth, I found that photo in Cleveland, and I just carry it along the whole sordid story of her life, her disappointments and fears. She still loved the convict, but she was ambi- tious for the future of her children. ‘What should she do? with me. It seems to make the rooms a bit more livable. That other picture is a snapshot of my nephew. I don't care much for the boy, but it all goes to help brighten up things.” MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLY HOLLYWOOD, Calif., September 15. —This movie town takes credit for starting more things than trouble and talkies. For some time now Hollywood has vied with Paris as a style center, and stars have bought Hollywood gowns with which to visit the French capital. But the latest whimsy is the inven- tion of a game based on moving pic- tures. The full gamut of the play takes in stars’ names, directors and profes- sional terms. And it is called Kam-ra. It was played for the first time re- cently at ‘'a party of 30 persons, and made such a hit that bridge and ping- pong must step aside for a while. No fad lasts long in Hollywood. Per- haps “Doug,” the game invented by Douglas Fairbanks, which is a combi- nation of tennis and badminton, has held on longest with its enthusiasts. Lena Basquette went to the hospital recently without telling Hollywood any- thing more than “just because.” Spec- ulation ran riot. When a Hollywood beauty disappears for a week or so— e!?gect to find a new nose, a 1928 model face, a stream-like body, or any one of the super-modern inventions of the sur- geon. Hollywood doesn't understand those grandmothers of ours who went through life as the Creator made 'em. Hair here is colored with the seasons. Marie Prevost, having enjoyed a Spring and Summer as a dizzy blond, is going back to_her normal brown again. Molly O'Day is trimmed down to the size 32 her producers demand. Lya de Putti decides to become another lady en- tirely, so does things to her nose and her hair, thereby achieving the effect perfectly. They tell the story of the brunette who kept bowing to a reflection of her- self in a cafe mirror, saying, “That girl looks familiar. Now, just who is she?” MERRICE. ‘To be very frank, they tell it on Marie Prevost, who bowed to herself, thinking she was Phyllis Haver. This during the first day the white henna took effect. Interior decorators have a fine time matching houses to suit heads. It keeps business moving. Alice White has her bedroom done in green and white now that she is a blond. Green and orchid boudoirs seem to be favorites with the movie stars. Mar- garet Livingston, Vera Reynolds, Dor- othy Dwan and Norma Talmadge af- fect this color combination. Dorothy Mackaill has pale gray and green in her bedroom. She is an ash blond, very slim and very much tanned this season. Such an effect should- be highly becoming. Wouldn't you just know that Elinor Glyn would have pale yellowish green and apricot in her sleeping quarters! Elinor believes in the efficacy of color auras, in love at first sight—and second third, if her stories are to be be- She has given Clara Bow the tag of the “It” girl, which has brought her more letters than any other star in picture history has ever received. She has contributed more dizzy screen names to dizzy stories than any fiction- ist who ever came to Hollywood. Yet in private life she is a rather old-fash- ioned mother.
