At seast, so I was told.

Still, on the strength of this little French evening bonnet I am not going to suggest attaching face veils to your own, because some one who doesn't keep the run of French fashions might see and think not that you had lost your respectability, but that you had suddenly taken leave of your senses. With the present vogue for fabrics of the purple tones, amethysts are com- ing into prominent position among the semi-precious stones. In fact, they are deemed worthy to consort with stones of far higher price, and in England the Duchess of Marlborough has set the fashion for exalting the amethyst by wearing a long chain of amethysts set in platinum between diamonds. Ame- are sometimes worn as ornaments with gowns of green. Dealers in precious stones once feared that the present tolerance of all sorts of inexpensive jewelry—imitation pearls and crystal and all the ornaments that to them seemed mere junk—would re- duce the demand for really high-priced necklaces, brooches, bracelets and ear- rings. But just the opposite has been the result. The more fake jewelry women buy the greater the demand for! diamonds, emeralds, rubles and sap- phires becomes. ‘This week’s help for the home dress- maker is a diagram pattern for a baby jacket, which has been requested by a number of readers.

John Galt, 1779-1830, wi glist, author of ““The Ann 'Sir Andrew Wylie,” ““Th Todd,” etc. Haddad-Ben-Ahab was a very wise man, and he had several friends, men of discernment and partakers of the wisdom of the ages, but they were not all so wise as Haddad-Ben-Ahab. His sentences were short, but his knowledge was long, and what he predicted gen- erally came to pass, for he did not pre- tend to the gift of prophecy. The ut-| most he ever said in that way was that he expected the sun to rise tomorrow and that old age was the shadow of youth. One beautifur day Haddad-Ben-Ahab and his friends had met in their kiosk of dreams, and were socially enjoying the fragrant smoke of their pipes, lis- tening to the refreshing undulations of the river as the boats softly glided along. Orooblis, the Armenian dyer, was_the only thing in that soft and bright noon that appeared on the land to be animated with any purpose. Orooblis was preparing a boat to de- scend to Tigris. Haddad-Ben-Ahab, seeing Orooblis so active, looked at him for some time and said: “I should like to go with him and see strange things, for I have never been out of the city of Bagdad, save once to pluck pomgranates in the garden of Bovs-Addy-Boolk.” He then rose and went to the boat which Orooblis was loading and spoke to him. And when it was ready they sated themselves on board and safled down the Tigris, having much pleasant discourse concerning distant lands and hills whose tops pierced the clouds, and were supposed to be the pillars that uphold the crystal dome of the heavens. Haddad-Ben-Ahab rejoiced greatly as they sailed along, and at last they came to a little town where- Orooblis, having business to transact, went on shore, leaving his friend. But in what corner of the earth this little town stood Haddad-Ben-Ahab knew not; for, like other travelers, he was not pro- :(iidCd with much geographical knowl- ge. But soon after the departure of Orooblis he thought he would also land and inquire. Accordingly, taking his pipe in his hand, he stepped out of the boat and went about the town, looking at many things, till he came to a wharf where a large ship was taking mer- chandise on board, and her sailors were men of a different complexion from that of the watermen who plied on the Tigris at Bagdad. Haddad-Ben~Ahab looked at them, and as he was standing near where they were at work he thought that this ship afforded a better opportunity than he had enjoyed with Orooblis to see foreign countries. He accordingly went up to the captain and held out a hand- 1ul of money and indicated that he was desirous to sail away with {ne ship. So 1t was arranged. When the ship had taken on board her cargo she spread her sails and Haddad-Ben-Ahab felt himself in a new situation, for presently she began to lie over and to plunge and revel among the waves like a glad creature. But Haddad-Ben-Ahab became very #ick, and the captain showed him the way down into the inside of the vessel, ‘where he went into a dark bed and was charitably ‘tended by one of the sailors for many days. When' they came to a foreign city Haddad-Ben-Ahab landed, and after he had seen the place he found a man with two horses ready saddled, and Le rode one and the man rode the other to act as guide. They both rode away into the country, and they found that the wind blew in their faces. ‘They obtained food at an inn and a Scottish nov- of the Parish,” men,” “Lawrie the foot of a lofty green mountain, with groves and jocund villages, which studdied it, as it were, with gems and shining ornaments, and he said: “This must be the wall of the world, for surely nothing can exist on the other side of these hills. But I will ascend them and look over, for I should like to tell my friends in Bagdad what is to be seen on the outside of the earth.” Accordingly he ascended the green mountain and came to a thick forest of trees, and came to a M.ee? moorland part of the hill, where no living thing could be seen, but a solitude without limit, and ghe living world all glitter-| ing at the foot of the mountain. “This is a high place,” said Haddad- Ben-Ahab, “but I will yet go higher. He began to climb with his hands. After an upward journey of great toil he came to a frozen region, and the top of the wall of the world was still far above him. He was, however, none daunted by the distance, but boldly held on in the ascent, and at last he reached the top of the wall. But when he got there, instead of a region of fog and chaos, only beheld another world much his own, and he was tly amazed, #nd exclaimed in a loud voice: “Will_my friends in Bagweseelieve :gis? But it is true, and I will tell m.” So he hastened down the mountain and went with all speed he could back to Bagdad, saying, “Bagdad,” and giv- ing gold to every man he met, until he reached the kiosk of dreams, where his friends were smoking and looking at the Tigris. ‘When the friends of Haddad-Ben- Ahab saw him approach they respect- fully took their pipes from their mouths and held them in their left hands while they pressed their bosoms with their right hands, and recelved him with a solemn salaam, for he had been long absent. They questioned him about his adventures, and he faithfully related to them all the wonders which he had seen, upon which they declared he had mmm}(motthouguotm Later Haddad-Ben-Ahab fell sick and died. Never was such a funeral seen in all Bagdad, save that of the Caliph Mahoud, commonly called the Mag- nificent. Such was the admiration in which the memory of the traveler was held the poets made dirges for the oc- casion and mournful songs were heard in the twilight from the windows of every harem. Nor did the generation of the time content itself with the ceremonies of lamentation. They caused a fountain to be erected, which they named the Fountain of Haddad-Ben-Ahab, = the traveler. When the slaves go to fetch water they speak of the wonderful things he did and how he was on the top of the world and saw outside the earth; so that his memory lives forever among them as one of the greatest, the wisest and bravest of men.

NANCY PAGE Simple Dresses for School Are Smartest of All. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Fitting out a young girl for school is comparatively easy. The clothes are simple, with the exception of the dresses for evening parties. They are quite be- ruffied and feminine, like the older wom- an's, but day dresses call for simple lines, little ornamentation, and what is put on is usually handwork. Take this {emy dress, for instance. It has the ines of the imported peasant frocks. The smocking at neck and embroidery on sleeves is done in gay yarns. The other dress has an easily remov- able gilet of crisp organdy. There is no excuse for not keeping it fresh. ‘The young girl who can do it grace- fully is wearing her hair off her fore- head. This is the latest advice from Paris. With a well shaped forehead there is no more distinguished hair dress. And 1t is in keeping with mod- ern frocks. Another dress which seems to belong to school is made of balbriggan jersey with separate pleated skirt on a bodice slip. The pleats in the skirt are stitched part way down. The collar and cuffs are of stitched white satin.” The brown leather belt and tiny tucks are the only ornamentation. The correct hat with a dress of this sort is made of fan falt with band of brown velvet. The felt {is cut with the down over the right cheek movement, which is so popular this Fall.

CRAIG. September 19, 1814.—Congress met in special session today in' the building heretofore occupied by the Post Office Department and the Patent Office, at the northeast corner of Eighth and E streets northwest. This is the only public .building in Washington which escaped the torch of the British in- vaders, - "0 occupied the city for parts of jwo days after the battle of Bla- densburg last month. This building was saved through the personal appeal of Dr. William Thom- ton, the superintendent of the Patemt Office. On the afternoon of the day after the coming of the British a tor- nado struck the city and did much damage, blowing off the roofs of houses and destroying chimneys. The rain which accompanied this windstorm put out the fires that were burning and saved some of the buildings from total destruction by fire. The storm seriously damaged the roof of the Post Office Department Building, and it had to be repaired in a hurry so that Congress could meet there. The room occupied by the patent models was cleared for the use of Con- gress. The Post Office Department and Patent Office have moved into tem- porary rented quarters, but the city ost office, located in the same build- ng, will remain there during the ses- sions of Congress. With the return to Washington of President Madison and members of the cabinet, normal business has been rap- idy resumed since the departure of the British, especially since it became evi- Do Business Women Make Good Wives? [DorbthyDix‘ Think They Have Best Possible Training The Business Girl Is Better Prepared for Matri- mony Than the Girl Who Has Stayed at Home —She Can Appreciate Her Husband’s Labor IT IS conceded that the best husband-hunting is found in the commercial neck of the woods. That is where the big game has its habitat and where the smaller animals of the male species play around in fancied security. The busi- ness girl has 10 times the chance to marry that the society girl has. She is thrown in daily intimate contact with men who are ‘“off their guard,” and if she does not make her catch it is because she is just naturally lacking in gump- tion or is a foreordained and predestinated old maid. This being the case, it raises the question of what sort of training business is for matrimony, and whether it fits a girl to domesticate her husband and make him satisfied to stay put in the home cage, as well as to snare him into it. Opinions differ on this matter. Some assert that there is nothing like busi- ness for teaching a woman how to be a man tamer, which is the principal factor in being a successful wife, while others aver that one of the principal reasons for the increase in divorce is because most brides are more familiar with mahog- any- entry goodeslu than they are with gas ranges, and know more about double- kkeeping, or stenography, or the art of salesmanship, than they do about making coffee and broiling a steak. ©Of course, considering that the wife's ability to make a comfortable home is the foundation stone on which a successful marriage must be built, it would seem that the domestic girl would be the wise man's choice in marriage, and that the best way in which a maiden could be fitted for matrimony would be for her to take an intensive course of study under mother instead of going to a business college. .. .. UT it does not seem to work out this way in real life, possibly because the home-staying girl generally spends her time in gadding, and puts off learning how to cook and sew until after she gets married, even as does the business girl. Possibly becausz her experiences in earning her own living teach a girl things that are even more important for her to know than how to butcher's meat. make pie, or judge For any woman who can read a cook book can become a chef in three months if she wants to, but it takes long and grueling personal experience along the same lines that her husband had suffered to enable a woman to-understand him, and sympathize with him, and make allowances for him. It is never easy for the sexes to understand each other. It is an utter im- possibility when they have never touched life at the same points, and so cannot put themselves in each other’s places. ‘The woman who has always had every- thing given to her, who has bought whatever she wanted on bills, cannot. know how money looks to the man who sees every dollar as wet with his sweat and red with his life blood, but the woman who has earned her meager pay envelope with blistered feet and aching back and weary fingers sees it as the man does— a precious thing not to be wasted. The woman who has spent half of her day lounging around the house in kimono and slippers, and who, at night, feels, so full of pep that she would like to go out and dance. nags at her husband because he is tired and wants to stay at home and rest. She thinks herself ill-used because he isn't gay and chatty, and her feelings are hurt if he flashes at her some irritable reply to an innocu- ous question. But the woman who has been through the grind of hard days at the office when everything went wrong knows that one can come home so utterly ex-|once in a while just to eat victuals I bausted in mind and body that one's only earthly craving is for rest; that one | didn't have to fix.’ can be solnerve-lagged that even to be spoken to is the last straw that breaks the camel's back, and querulous fault-finding and complaining are just causes for murder. .. .. SO THE business training gives a girl an understanding of what men go through that the home-staying girl cannot have, and that makes her give her hus- band a sympathy that the woman who has never earned her own living cannot give. Y Also, it disciplines her. The business girl soon learns not to spread her precious feelings all over the place unless she wants them trampled upon, be- cause nobody is going to take the trouble to umshoe around them. She learns not to burst into tears when her work is criticized. She learns how to profit by reproof and how to sink her own feelings, and do teamwork for the good of the firm. She learns how to control her temper and her tongue; how to bite back the snappy retort that leaps to her lips. business office there is no time to coddle the sensitive, or to make excuses for those who go into tantrums and have hysterics every time they are crossed. Furthermore, three years in an office teaches a girl as much about the psychology of men as 40 years of matrimony. The trouble with matrimony is that the knowledge comes too late to do a woman any good, whereas the office experience enables her to start off on the right foot, with expert knowledge and a highly developed technique. ‘The home-staying girl only sees men at their best, when they are barber: and tailored and have on their best neckties and their company mlynners, but tl!lg girl who works with them, day after day, secs them in their shirt sleeves and as the good Lord made them, a streak’ of good and a streak of bad, a mixture of weakness and strength, of wisdom and foolishness, and per| who have to be alternately spanked and kissed.

So for these and sundry other reasons I think that business is th training a young woman can have for matrimony, and if I were a ymm; l‘::ri Looo:mg for a wife I would pick out a girl who had gotten along with a cranky DO! for a couple of years.

Charlie Chaplin came along and taught them that comedy was really the shabby exterior of a cloak whose lining was sadness. May McAvoy proved that a girl may be blue-eyed, blond, good, and register absolute innocence without in the least boring her public.

Some of the forms of leases used are so intricate that the average housewifs renting a new apartment or house does not bother with all of the details. She is advised to read it through, however, and refer any incomprehensible parts to some one capable of advising her. Affixing one’s signature blindly to a lease may result in dissatisfaction. Your lease should state the term of the lease, monthly rent, and how that rent is payable. If any concession has been granted you, that concession should form part of the lease. Vague promises which do not materfalize in the lease are valueless. Housewives moving into old aparte ments, or apartments or houses which have been previously occupied, may find that the premises require renovations The lease should describe in detail the alterations which will be made. Again the housewife is advised against the vague promise or the lease which promises alterations without going into details. Rentember once the lease ie signed your bargain is made, and the agent or landlord is compelled to add nothing to it. If you have an option to renew the lease, that should also form part of it. If there are any children in the family, or domesticated pets, it may be wise to have the lease recognize one’s rights to house them on the premises. ‘When negotiating on the lease noth- ing should be left to the landlord or agent. If heat is not part of the service rendered, one may find herself liable to a charge for the same. The plumbing and electric wiring, of course, should be in good order. Assurances not backed by paper and ink are worthless in the event of later question. Therefore, if any details not properly part of the lease are in doubt, have the agent or landlord confirm his promises or statements by letter. Incorporate in the lease everything you wish it to contain before signing. Overlooking relatively small details may ultimately cause inconvenience and ex- pense. EVERYDAY PSYCHOLOGY B BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. States of Awareness. In everyday mental life it is cus- tomary to say that a person is either asleep or awake; that he is either aware of what is going on or that he is un- aware. The facts, so far as sclence can de- termine, are quite different. Science recognizes neither complete awareness nor complete unawareness. For the sake of description, however, science dees recognize several degreeg of aware- ness. When a person is highly conscious (as completely conscious as_possible) his attention is controlled. His brain processes are unified. He goes about his business willfully, behaving along the line of what is commonly called reason. But more often his attention is di- vided. It fluctuates a little. His brain processes work like weak spark plugs in an automobile. He is puzzled some- what about the next link in his chain of performance. He is more open to suggestions from other persons than when he is highly consclous Then somctimes a person is only dimly conscious. His attention is very His brain processes act Day-dreaming He has no fluctuating. like a missing cylinder. takes the place of reason. will of his own. Almost any sugges- ticn from another is acted upon at once and uncritically. Next below this state is the subcon- scious state. The attention is so poorly concentrated that a person is aware of nothing in particular. The brain proc- esses are poorly organized, so that even a suggestion from another has a poor chance of dictating behavior. Now and then, however, some ideas, memories and suggestions do break through the threshold of awareness and lead to a sort of disconnected chain of activities. There is, of course, no will or .purpose in the subconscious state. This state is usually sleep. Dreams hold sway, with all their irregularity of fantastic pic- tures. Nothing but dim memories are carried over to the waking stage, and even then they tend to disappear when one tries to recall them. Then, finally, there is the unconsclous stage, in which a person is as com- pletely unaware as it is possible to be. The depths of hysterical coma might be taken as an example of this highly unconscious state. (Cooyright. 1928.) Dr. Gaston Lyon—one of the outstanding figures of the medical profession in France, on whom his colleagues have lavished professional honors; he has been chief of the Medical Clinic of the Laureate of the Academy of Medicine; ke is author of the standard *'Ele- mentary Treatise on Clinical Therapeutics,”’ **Consultations on Diseases of the Digestive Tract,” Faculty of Paris; h and many other works. (4 Yeast regulates the intestines,” says DR. GASTON LYON, of Paris “ In France, especially since the work of the scientist, Dr. L. Brocq, yeast has entered the realm of therapeutics, and is today gen- erally prescribed. It is especially used in dis- orders of the skin. But it is not limited to skin diseases; it is recognized that yeast has a modifying action on nutrition. It reduces intes- tinal fermentation, and regu- lates the functioning of the intestine. Yeast should be used all the more, since it can be taken without convenience.” R. GASTON LYON, He further points to the value of yeast in the treatment of skin discases and de- clares, “Its efficacy in this field is already strongly established.” In a recent survey in the United States, half the doc- tors reporting said they pre- scribed yeast.
