WOMAN’S PAGE.’ Beauty in Less E BY MARY Diamonds, pearls, emeralds, rubies— feal ones—are now worn for important occasions by women who can afford them. But for informal occasions there is still as much demand for less ex- ensive costume jewelry as ever. Un- ess you are a_motion-picture actress and can afford such expensive pub- licity, you don’t wear your rope of real pearls or your diamond bracelets when you go to dine and dance at a country ion or when you spend a week end &t a resort hotel. And because the lesa expensive sort | 'EARLS TAKE ON MODERN ART FORMATION IN NECKLACES.

But even with this ess expensive jewelry you may notice hat there is more discrimination than here was a little while ago. Any sort of glass beads or metal choker will thardly do. There must be something Yeally worth while and of intrinsic xpensive Jewelry MARSHALL. Almost all the important French dressmakers have offered necklaces and other ornaments to go with their new frocks. Vionnet, Worth, Patou, Lanvin and Lelong are especially noteworthy in this departure, and Lelong perhaps takes preeminence. Usually these pieces are decidedly modern in design—but there is something very fine and rather restrained about this new modernism. Lelong has made some lovely chains of tubuler links of silver that suggest South Sea Isle inspiration. Goupy has made bracelets and necklaces of strands |of tiny pearl beads braided together. | Lelong has made necklaces and brace- lets of oblongs of colored bakelite strung together with metal links. Quite the | most charming of all the new “modern” necklaces is the one of triangular- shaped, tinted pearls shown in the sketch. ‘This week's help for the home dress- maker is designed especially for the home dressmaker who has a little girl anywhere from 1 year old to 8 or 9. It consists of a diagram pattern for the very short French drawers of the sort that have been worn abroad for sev- eral years, but which are still some- thing of a novelty here. They are very simple to cut and to make, as you will see from the diagram. If you would like this with a sketch of the finished garment and directions for making, please send me a stamped, self- addressed envelope and I will send it to you. (Copyright. 1928.)

DIET AND BY LULU HUNT : False Health Teachers. “A lecture on dietetics and psy- #hology by a man from Canada who uses the title of doctor interests me. His ads state that he is president of a number of societies and give very lauda- tory recommendations from many prominent people, and also say he has many degrees from prominent univers- fties. He is a very young-looking man, but claims that he is 47 years old. After the lecture he sells capsules of extracts of vegetables which he claims, together with his psychology, are re- sponsible for his youthful appearance. A newspaper in Toronto claims that he is only 26 years old and is not entitled to the many university degrees which he claims to possess. I would appreci- ate it if-you could tell me something about him. MR. N.” It is not unusual for imposters of this sort to claim all sorts of degrees and offices in high-sounding societies. It is usually found that they haven't any of these degrees nor are such so- eieties in existence. It is also not un- usual for them to claim that they are wvery much older than they are, to im- ess their hearers with the efficacy of eir methods. While such lectures are free, they are usually given to arouse interest in a private class which is being formed which will give you the secrets of the average or under weight. HEALTH PETERS, M.

I don't know of this faker, Mr. N, but have seen and heard of many simi- lar ones. “Dear Doctor: I am in need of an operation, but I have heard of so many ‘women who get fat after one that I am worried over that point. I know a woman who has become immense—she now weighs 280 pounds—since an oper- ation. She claims it was the operation.

Then the habit is formed of eating too much and it is continued.

In the first text Isaiah is speaking of the fatal results of sin. He uses the picture of a withered oak to show what sin does to men. The oak is one of the strongest trees that grow in the forest. And yet, with all its strength, the oak cannot resist permanently the blasting and blighting forces of nature. Sooner or later it succumbs to these forces and stands but a withered scar in the forest. In native strength you may be as the majestic oak. But if you expose yourself to the evil forces of sin you will soon become weak and withered. No matter how strong you are, you can- not long withstand the blighting powers of evil. The man who follows evil will soon find himself withered up. All pure de- sires will die out of his soul. His stified. His capacity for good will dis- appear. His heart will become dry and hard, and his conscience seared. This is what sin does to men. Not only gross sin, but any kind of godless living will do this. Follow evil—any evil—and “ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth.” But, in the second text, David pre- sents another picture. The man who follows after good he likens unto a tree “whose leaf doth not wither.” Of the godly man, of the man whose “de- light is in the law of the Lord,” David says: “He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth its fruit in its season.” It is for you to choose which of these two trees you shall be like.

We arrange our lunch on a big tray, covering the hot foods with napkins to keep them warm, and march off to wherever our fancy dictates—out under the trees in the garden if the day is pleasant, up in the attic with the toys if it’s raining outdoors, in front of the radio for an exciting program, any- ‘where that’s a bit unusual and adds to i picnic spirit of the occasion. It's a matter of pride with my little daughter not to forget any necessary part of the tray’s equipment, and even the most commonplace lunch can be transformed to a delightful occasion by the simple expedient of “tray nicnicking.” Everyday Law Cases Is City Liable for Injuries Caused by Animal in Park Zoo? BY THE COUNSELLOR. While William Capp was standing on a public walk nex. to a bear cage of a 200 maintained by the city in a public park the bear reached through a de- fective portion of the cage and outer guard and severely injured Capp's leg. Capp brought suit against the city for the resulting injuries. The city con- tested the suit, contending that they were not liable for any negligence while in the exercise of a governmental function, such as the maintenance of a park. The court, however, overruled the de- fense, explaining the law as follows: “The rule is that a city is not liable for injuries due to the performance or non-performance of a governmental duty, but that it is liable, the same as an individual, if performing a private duty. “All courts, however, agree that a nuisance cannot be maintained, even though in performance of a govern- mental duty, and if an injury results from the maintenance of a nuisance ic this function, the city will be held liable.” Cents a Pound Handkerchiefs Cne Cent Each \ Phone Ma 2321 West End Laundry Lewnderers and Dry Cleaners 1723-25 Pennsyivenia Ave-N'W susceptibility to holy things will be STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, WEDNESDAY, DorothyDix Wife's Pride in Craftsmanship Something No Husband Ought to Be Able to Take From Her, but Praise Lends Extra Flavor. Urges Professional Pride Why Be Industrious Wife? WOMAN says: “What's the use in my trying to be a good wife when I never get any thanks or appreciation from my husband? What's the use in my | spending hours slaving over the gas range preparing some dainty he loves when { he gobbles it down without a word of appreciation? “What's the use in my dolling myself up and trying to keep young and at- tractive when he never notices me any more than if I were a piece of useful household furniture? What's the use in my pinching and economizing, when I know that he is going to howl to heaven over what I spend and be as dumb as an oyster about what I Save?” Answer—The “u is that wifehood is the career that you have undertaken, and you owe it to your own self-respect to make a good job of it. The crafts- woman must not always be looking at the reward of her labors. She must do | her work well because she has a pride in it; because she has a sense of loyalty to the labor to which she has set her hand that will not let her bungle it, or slight it, or give to it anything less than the best that is in her, T admit that strewing pearls before swine is a discouraging occupation, but if you find out that you have signed up for a life contract at doing that particu- lar thing, you will get a tremendous kick just out of doing it superlatively well. Your pig may not give a grunt of approval, but your own soul will give you three cheers and a tiger. But how stupid a man is who lets his wife get to the place where she asks: “What's the use in trving to be a good wife?” For that marks the place where a woman puts up her last fight for her dreams of what marriage should be, and of her ideals of wifehood. When she asks he 1f that question, she runs up the white flag of defeat 2nd surrenders to desp: and ever after she is a sullen prisoner of domesticity, doing the tasks because they are imposed upon her, not because she has any heart or enthusiasm or interest left in her job. And she expects no pay for it. HAT'S the us2? That's the answer to why women slump in their housekeep-~ ing. That's why they are slouchy and untidy and unattractive around home. That's why they are peevish and nagging. That's why they grow dull and tire- some. What's the use in a woman working herself to skin and bone scrubbing and sweeping and polishing to keep her house as neat as the proverbial pin for a hus- band who never shows by word or looks that he has seen her make any effort to make him comfortable? ‘What's the use in a wife making a burnt offering of herself over the kitchen stove cooking the particular dishes her husband likes, when the only time he ever notices the food is to find some fault with it, and when he gulps down angel food with no more appreciation than if it were corned beef and cabbage? What's the use in a woman scrimping and skimping and squeezing every penny and making every dollar do the work of two, if her husband never praises her thrift, but berates her because she isn't a miracle worker who can feed and clothe a family on air? What's the use in a wife trying to look pretty and attractive to a husband who hasn't really taken a second glance at her since their honeymoon, and who, when she fishes for a compliment about her new dress or hat, always tells her that they are too young for her, and what does she want to wear that kind of a fool fashion for, anyway? ‘What's the use in a wife trying to read and study and make herself an Interesting companion for a husband who sits up of an evening like a dummy with a paper in its hand, and who merely responds “ugh-huh” when she makes an attempt to converse with him? What's the use of trying to be tender and affectionate to a husband who turns his ear to your kiss, and who is as responsive as a block of ice when you try to put your arms about him? . © e HAT'S the use? None at all, millions of discouraged women decide. And so they throw away all of their pretty little ways and all of their good resolutions about making a happy home, and being ideal wives, and sweep them out the back door into the garbage can, aleng with the rags and tatters of pink chiffon from their trousseaus. And since they feel that there is no profit in being a good wife to & man who does not appreciate cne, they drift into becoming makeshift Wives. Nor can you blame them. Human nature being what it is, we must have some reward for our labors, we must have some incentive to make us put forth an effort, we must have some appreciation of our efforts to make them seem worthwhile. Men feel this as well as women. No man would expect to get the best out of his employes if he only blamed and never praised, and if he took the best that they could give him without acknowledgment of its merits, but was instant with his fault-finding for their every mistake; if he always used the hammer and never the salve-spreader. How, then, can any man expect to have a wife who is cheerful, hlpgy and contented if he never praises her for her good quallties? How can he expect her to break her neck trying to please him when he never gives her a grunt of approval? it is her husband's fault. (Copyrighf Playmates. Mothers always think their own chil- dren are pretty good. That is a wise provision of nature lest we discover too early our unworthiness to be their sons and daughters and so become dis- couraged and cease in our efforts to rise before them and stand as the ideals of their hearts. And because of their great fondness and blind loyalty, there is often trouble in the play yards and fields of the community. “I know my children are not angels, but really those children next door are about the most ill-mannered, ill-bred, selfish youngsters ever I saw. Simmie and Sallie can hardly go out into their own yard without a fuss or some kind with them. “I try to separate them, but children will go to each other no matter how mean they are among themselves. I spoke to the woman next door and she told me to wash my cwn doorstep first. ‘That Sallie and Simmie seemed to her to need all the attention I had to spare. Imagine. And I've done my best to be a good neighbor. But those children are awful.” You can be sure that the lady next door tells her husband that very story in different words every single night the poor man spends at home. “We'll have to move. That's all about it. I can't stand that woman and her chil- dren another year.” When you move you find another family of children. Instead of pulling your plants up by the root they chop them with their little hatchets. You see children have to use the energy be- stowed upon them by nature for the | purpose of growth. The trouble is that in our haste to make fortunes in build- ing homes and renting them or selling them we forget thai there are to be children in them. No room, no play space is provided for them. This not only handicaps the children, but it | brings discord into the community. To | say nothing of the dangers.

Astrologers read tomorrow as an un- usually unfavorable day in planetary direction, since all the aspects are ad- verse. It is a day when strife is easily pre- cipitated. Self-control should be prac- ticed, for many provocations may de- velop.

Agriculturists come under a rather sinister direction of the stars, when unsatisfactory weather conditions and market reports may cause depression. The aged should conserve their physi cal and mental powers, for the scers remind them that the new era brings to them many anxieties about the fu- ture, which is, fortunately, to be more marvelous than man can visualize. ‘The next year is to reveal renewed reverence for marriage and the home, astrologers prophesy. Girls are even now coming under a planetary government in which they will apply college training to home management to the exclusion of busi- ness or the professions, astrologers prognosticate.

The last days of September, the early days of October, bring about a stir of great events in the feathered world. Inevitably ornithology in our climate lags a little in interest during August, the most birdless month of the year; and even early September is too much like the end of Summer to give the bird hunter much of a thrill. But the autumnal season at its height is not all a .question of saying good-by, though now indeed the white-throat pipes a sad farewell to Summer over the flelds of aster, and the grackles congregate in gabbling groups. For there are many arrivals that are beginning now—northern birds coming southward for the Winter season. Among these will be the pintail and the mallard, the green-winged teal and the blue-winged teal, the Canada goose, every one of which brings joy to the heart of the Potomac fowler and | sportsman. But there will come birds that are not men’s prey, but birds of prey, like the redtailed hawk, the marsh hawk and the handsome short-eared hawk, the sparrow hawk and the hand- some short-eared owl. To me very much more attractive are the horned lark and the tree spar- row. And already I think I have caught just a glimpse of one junco's slate-gray back. But I have seen no crosshills so far, nor the grosbeaks nor the purple finches, non the myrtle warblers, but already brown creepers are becoming common, and the tufted titmice, which live here all year round, but become more abundant in the Win- ter season.

THE WIVES OF THE PRESIDENTS Elizabeth Monroe, Who Upset Seccial Washingica Through Educating Her Daughter With a Future Queen. BY J. P. GLASS. “IT IS TO BE FEARED THAT ELIZA MONROE'S HEAD WAS A BIT TURNED BY HER Of all the women who occupied the | ‘White House none was more beautiful or more fitted to preside there than Elizabeth Kortright, wife of James Monroe. Through no fault of her own, though, her occupancy was signalized by a series of social mishaps that actually embroiled the cabinet. ‘Two factors are to be blamed. First, | her health, which was miserable. Sec- | ond, that she should have educated her daughter Eliza in the midst of queens and duchesses. | James Monroe was still a young and | undistinguished man when he visited New York and met Elizabeth Kortright. They were not of the same social sirata, although he was rising fast. Hers was a well known and highly connected New York family of Dutch descent on her father’s side. He was Capt. Law- rence Kortright. Her mother had been Hannah Aspinwall. Elizabeth was born in_1768. Lawrence Kortright fought in the British Army during the Revolution, but when hostilities ceased remained in New York. His daughter was presented to society in the midst of the festivi- ties that followed the departure of the British troops. ' She was a reigning belle at_once. Monroe, in New York on business, met her and fell in love at once. She re- ciprocated his affection, and in Feb- ruary, 1786, they were married. They went at once to Virginia, where he was a member of the State Legislature. Often in his law practice he took her circuit riding with him. She was a cheerful sort. She did not in the least mind the hardships of such travel. Monroe was marked for greater things. In 1790 he was elected to the United States Senate. Four years later he was representing the United States in France. His beautiful wife was no ASSOCIATIONS.” Queen of Holland and mother of Na- poleon III. It is to be feared that Eliza Monroe’s head was a bit turned by her associa- tions. This was too bad, for when James Monroe attained the Presidency it was his daughter, Mrs. George Hay, wife of a Virginia jurist, who ruled the White House. Mrs. Monroe's poor health was the reason. Monroe had furnished the White House in the most splendid style. Her birth, breeding, beauty and | social experience qualified her to pre- side as First Lady of the Land as few ‘women could have done. But she found it impossible to meet the exactions of social life. The ladies of Washington were deeply disappointed, even a little bitter. Mrs. Hay, taking her mother’s place, did not help matters. Her ideas of etiquette were founded upon her French associations. Matters of social prece- dence became almost the first question of the day. Even the cabinet gravely began to consider them. But nothing much was done. Elizabeth Kortright Monroe, confined to her room by her ailments, knew little of what was going on. At her last "drawing room,” she ap- peared dressed in black velvet, her still lovely neck and arms bare, her hair in puffs dressed high on her head with white ostrich plumes. A pearl neck- lace completed the ensemble. She was still a stunning figure. It was her final public appearance in Washington. ~ When John Quincy Adams and his wife came to take pos- session of the White House, in 1825, she was too sick to quit it. As soon as she was able she and Mr. Monroe went to their home at Oak Hill, Loudoun County, Va. She died there in 1830.

But in three years they were back in Paris. Jefferson needed Monroe there. It was now that Mrs. Monroe sowed the seeds for future social mishaps. She placed her daughter Eliza in the school of Madame Campan at St. Ger- main, where she was the intimate of girls of the highest nobility. One of them was Napoleon’s stepdaughter, Hortense Beauharnais, who became the PSR e it My Neighbor Says: Soak egg stains on table linen in cold water before putting tablecloth or napkins into the wash.
