" *"Freasures of the Linen Chest BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. * Ther¢ are two distinct attitudes apt fo be held toward treasures of the linen chest that” have been inherited from generations past. For instance, ‘to some young people they are not things to be heid in high esteem. Quite ‘the reverse. They are to be brought t:of day, perhaps cut up needs, and certainly given no me and perhaps less, then a ‘recently purchased and :li:h thejatest stamp of fashion upon em. < to the for prflltm | This is no remote concern, but one | { which many have had to soive. ed with use, but to be laid away and from time to time put in new wrap- pings and denied all aspects of useful- ness. Occasionally such persons find themselves living in crowded quarters where space is so at a premium that it become necessary to put all usable things into service in order to reduce storage space. Modification of either attitude is to be desired. and in it is found the happy medium. For a certain amount of usz is beneficial, rather than harm- ful, to anything made of fabric. There |are some things which do not suffer from being laid away indefinitely, but linens, silks and other woven goods are not among them. So it is ill advised to refrain entirely from putting such treasures to occasional practical serv- ice. The problem then becomes: How shall they be given the best care and handling? { old quilts of silk as well as of cotton, home- spun blankets and tablecloths, sam- plers, completed and unfinished, have all had to have the best place and use found for them. Experience has proven that old ar- ticles made of silk will stand very lit- | tle handling, compared to thosz of linen or cotton.” A cotton quilt in good con- dition may be pressed into daily use as a bedspread. The weakest thing about it is the thread with which the quilting was done. The quilt must not be jerked into pesition, or those threads will surely snap. It will with- stand years of being gontly adjusted to the bed, but only a few months of suddenly being pulled about. A silk bed quilt may either be used | as a wall hanging or as a “bost” spread. It is a shame to have it always con- cealed, but the daily wear and tear of regular spread service is certain to be too much for it. If used as a wall hanging, care should bz taken to see that any weak spots are reinforced | from the back. If a quilt has given | out too much for usc as spread or hanging, it can perhaps be pieced for a cot-sizé bed, or parts of it can be used under glass on a tray. An incompleted sampler should be put on a sampler frame and hung up in a place not too light-flooded. The goods are tacked to four pieces of | wood forming a hollow square. The frame helps save the textile from | strain, Crab Meat Salad. Pick one-pint of crab meat very care- fully so as to eliminate all particles of shell.

Washington: History * BY DONALD A CRAiG. September 25, 1800:—A new tri- weekly newspaper, the Washington Fed- eralist, made its appearance here today. This is the first of the proposed news- | paper enterprises to materialize sice ! the removal of the Government to this city from Philadeiphis. The execu- tive departments of the Government are now all established here. Presi- dent Adems is expected to take up s permanent residence in the partly completed President’s House within a few weeks. Congress will hold its ses- sions here for the first time this Winter. The publishers of the Washington Federalist, which is a political organm of the Federalist party, are William Alexander Rind and John Stewart. The office of publication is located in Georgetown. Messts. Green and English, the pro- prietors of the Sentinel of Liberty, of Georgetown, which has passed its fourth anniversary, have given notice of their purpcse to publish a daily paper “when Congress removes to the City of Washington.” The Sentincl of Liberty at present is a semi-weelkly. Samuel Harrison Smith of Phila- delphia has announced his intention of publishing here a new triweekly to be known as the National Intelligencer and Washington Advertiser. In his prospectus of the paper Mr. Smith says it is to be “conducted on national principles.” The National Intelligencer is expected to make its first appear- ance on October 1. It will be friendly to the political aspirations of Mr. Thom- as Jefferson. Mr. Smith is moving Philadelphia to this city. Mr. Jefferson for several years has taken. a special interest in this young editor, who is in his twenty-eighth year. Mr. Smith served as secretary of the American Philosophical Society when Mr. Jefferson was its president. He is to be married in a few days to Miss Margaret Bayard, daughter of Col. John Bayard, a soldier of the Revolu- tionary Army and a member of the Continental Congress. Mr. Smith has been conducting a weekly newspaper, the Universal Ga- zette, in Philadelphia, for more than three years, and intends to continue its publication in this city. His first venture in the journalistic line was the New World, which appeared twice a day for two months in 1796 in Phila- This novel sclieme was soon abandoned for a once-a-day issue. Pub- lication of the Universal Gazette, suc- ceeding his first venture, began in i Philadelphia in November, 1797. “The tendency of public measures and the conduct of public men will be ex- amined with candor and truth” in the National Intelligencer, Mr. Smith an- | nounces.

AND MOVIE PEOPL BY MOLLIE HOLLYWOOD, Calif,, September 25. —There will be a return to first prin- ciples by some of Hollywood's elect. A few notables will abandon the type of thing they have been giving the public of late and return to the style of work which made them famous. Prominent among these are Cecil B. De Mille and Gloria Swanson. In his forthcowrwig picture the director will give th> public not the Biblical tales and refcrm cpics of his recent en- deavo"s, tut the kind of picturz known as “a typical De Mille film,” the thing he does to perfection, the thing which won him one of the largest audiences in the world. And Gloria Swanson, whom De Mille made famous for her extravagantly beautiful gowns and the extravagant way in which she wore them, will in the picture following the one on vhich she is at present working with Von Stroheim star in a film where clothes are the paramount idea. The 1928-29 issue of “Who's Who in America,” just out in Hollywood, - has caused a great fluttering and a sur- reptitious hunting for names. Glows of pride, pangs of envy. Por not all the famous of Hollyweod are included in America’s list of the great. The same book which gives Norma and Constance Talmadge a sénd-off fails tc mention Colleen Moore and Marion Davies. Jacqueline Logan is there among the famous. Of course, Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks: Gloria Swanson, with her paradoxical history—daughter of Joseph Koliansky and married to the elaborately titled Marquis de la Falaise.

Mary Miles Minter, a forgotten enr tity already among the younger gen- eration of movie goers, has a place among the famous. This star, back in Movieland, is a victim of excess fat. A gland condition is said to make the burden difficult to cure.

The most serious trouble oc- curs at the place where teeth and gums meet— knowhn as The Danger Line. The best product known to neutralize acids in the mouth is Milk of Magnesia. It is evident from this verdict that the dentifrice you use should contain Milk of Magnesia if it is to bring you real protection. Squibb’s Dental Cream is made with more than 50% of Squibb’s Milk of Mag-' nesia, Each time you useit, particles of the Milk of Magnesia are forced into every pit and crevice where acids form. There they neutralize these acids and remain after to neutralize new acids as they form.

Cubby Bear stood on the ground look- ing up into a tree. It was too small a tree for him to climb. Grinning down at him from near the top was a stranger—a stranger to him, anyway. Now Cubby knew that that stranger was afraid. Had he not been afraid re wouldn’t have climbed that tree. But there he was up the tree, and Cubby was doing his best to sihake him down. But though he shook and he shook and | he shook and he shook, he ecouldn't make the stranger lose his hold. And the more he shook the angrier Cubby grew. He tried to scramble up, but the little branches broke and the littie tree bent and he just couldn't get up. Finally Cubby was forced to give up. Then he had a happy idea. He would g0 off a little way and hide. He would wait_for that stranger to come down. So Cubby shuffied away, and when he was sure that the stranger could no longer see him he very softly stole around to one side and there he sat down where he could watch the stranger. but was quite sure he couldn’t be seen himself. He waited and waited and waited. The stranger knew when where he was. He seemed quite safis- ?reed to stay in the top of that little e. Now little Bears seldom have much patience. Cubby remained quiet for a remarkably long tims for a little Bear. But at last his patience gave out. He Just couldn’t keep still any longer. He was just getting ready to give up and g0 shuffling off when the stranger in the little treetpp began to move. He crept out on a small branch and he let go with his tail. Cubby Bear saw | his chance. Before you could wink an eye he was at the foot of that little | tree and chaking it. This time he was t sucezssful. The stranger lost his hold. | He flow out into the air and down he | dropped to the ground with a thump. | Cubby rushed over to where the | stranger had fallen, expecting to see | him scramble to his feet and run away. But the stranger lay right where e fell. Cubby stopped and stared. The stranger lay on his side; his lips were partly drawn back, showing his teeth: he didn't move so much as a toe; his eyes were closed. Could it be that that fall had killed him? Cubby walked in a little circle around the siranger. He walked around him three times. Still the stranger didn't move. Very gingerly Cubby reached out | BY THORNTON W. BURGESS move. Cubby grew a little bolder. He rolled the stranger over. There was no movement. “He's dead,” thought Cubby. “He certainly i5 dead. Who would have thought a little fall like that would have killed him?” He sniffed at the stranger. Somehow it was all so quecr that he lost his appetite. Now that he had the stranger there, dead, he didn't feel so much like eating him as he had when he was trying to catch . the stranger. There was something queer Hiaoy e CUBBY ‘STOPPED AND STARED. about it all, and Cubby is always sus- picious of queer things. He sat down at a little distance and gazed long and hard at this small person of the Green Forest whom he had never seenbefore “I wonder who he is?” said Cubby to himself. “Iwonder who he is? I mn:t ask about him. It certdinly is funn how a little fall like that could kill any- body. It must be I scared him death. That must be it—it must be 1 scared him to death. - Well, I'll lea: him here a while. Perhaps I'll come back and get him later.” So Cubby shuffled away.

Even this new swinging back to feminism means ar hats brims that shadow the face, dresses with skirts hanging almost ‘o the floor, and skirts that measure many yards around the hem.
