And you may suit yourself about how you arrange them over your shoulders or tie them round your neck.

There is a subtle delicacy | and richness of color. a beauty of tex- | ture, something that is much easier to feel than to explain. Everywhere I go to sée the new frocks, hats and accessories this season | I feel this note of something different | that defies description- or explanation. Fashions are not so very different, there is nothing in cut or silhouette | that was not at least suggested 6 or 12 months ago, and yet after you see all | BY MARY MARSHALL. the new things you go home and feel as if the clothes you have left over from last season are somehow banal and out of date. The difference, I think, is due to the fact that all along the line from the master designer to the maker of the smallest accessory, the idea has spread that nothing merely effective, nothing second rate, nothing but the very best would answer the purpose. There is a beauty of texture about even the sim- plest of fabrics and a subtle blending of tone and color about the least pre- tentious design. ‘This is fashion’s new exaction. With this general raising of the standards of fashion has come a re- vived interest in lace—real lace. It is used rather sparingly to form collars and cufls and sometimes a jabot frill; more generously in the form of deep berthas or deep collars to trim velvet evening gowns. or, if you like, added separately to the evening ensemble in the guise of triangle or oblong scarf. And when the fashionable woman speaks of lace this season she means real lace. She is no longer content with cheap makeshifts.

Now I regret having done this and would like to restore its | natural color. How can this be done? WORRIED. Answer—You may give your hair a warm oil treatment with olive oil sev- eral times a week to take away that bleached look. Since peroxide injures | the outer coating of the hairs the bleached part of vour hair will never look as glossy and natural as the new hair that grows in at the roots, but as the ashen blonde hair grows longer vou may cut off the bleached ends. If you wish you may have a hairdresser dye the bleached ends of hair to a light brown. To give the oil treatment re- ferred to, warm some olive oil and ap- ply it to your hair. Leave it on for an hour, or overnight if possible, and then wash your hair. LOIS LEEDS. Miss Seventeen’s Measurements.

Hendershot of the 8th Michigan, who herofcally crossed the Rappahannock River at Fredericks- | bury; with a party of Union soldiers sent | to dislodge a Confederate sharpshooter, | was introduced at a meeting of the Lin- jcoln and Johnson Club here tonight. He beat taps on his drum and aroused ‘great enthusiasm. | The club voted that the majorities | given to the Republican party in Ohlo, Indiana and Pennsylvania be printed and attached to the club’s campaign flag. Plans were made to co-operuu} with other clubs in the District which | are advocating the re-election of Presi- dent Lincoln in order to arrange for a big torchlight procession. An invita- tion was extended to all present to at- | tend the flag-raising at the corner of | Pennsylvania avenue on the afternoon | of Saturday (day after tomorrow), when suitable speeches will be made in_ be- half of Lincoln and Johnson. Last night's meeting was addressed by Judge ‘Tabor of Iowa. A meeting of the National Demo- cratic Association, which is advocating the election of Gen. McClellan to the presidency, was also held tonight. The | attendance at this gathering in Par- ker’s Hall was not so large as at former meetings of the association, owing | probably to the discouraging news of the voting in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. Frederick Schmidt and T. G. Clayton addressed the meeting. A party of Mosby’'s raiders, about 400 strong, made an attack today on an outer picket of the 2d District of Co- lumbia Regiment, stationed at White Plains, Va., on the Manassas Railroad. The picket guard, consisting of eight men, under command of Lieut. Joseph Smith of Company H, fired upon the raiders, but was soon overcome by the overpowering numbers of the Confed- erates and taken prisoners, all except two, who managed to make their es- cape. One Unlon soldier was seriously wounded in the groin. The Confederates told Lieut. Smith to mount a horse and come with them, but he declared that he was too badly wounded, having been shot through the knee, to go along. Thereupon they abandoned him and made off with their other prisoners. Later a party of Union soldiers who were pursuing Mosby's men rescued Lieut, Smith and brought him to a hospital in Alexandria. ‘The United States mail steamer Man- hattan, which arrived here this after- noon from City Point, Va., reports un- | usual quiet in Gen.

I love this DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Folly of Man Who Regrets His Wife's Domesticity. Shall This Boy Stay With His Selfish Sweetheart? DEAR DOROTHY DIX: My husband is in business for hlm.se'lr and is | prosperous, but he demands that I go out and get a job. I don't want to work outside of my home. I love to keep house, and to cook and sew. Besides, I am not trained for business and never worked out before my marriage. My mother raised me to be a practical wife. I do my duty in making my husband 2 comfortable home, but I don’t want to meet the public. I'm too shy and retiring and I don't want to live a business life. What must I do? ELOISE. Answer: The first thing for you to do is to have some competent alienist examine your husband. Something is radically wrong with the mind of any man who is married to a home-keeping woman who likes to cook and make things comfortable, and who isn't satisfied with her and wants to change her. Why, there are about seven million husbands in the United States who are plning and hoping for that sort of wife. They are married to restless, discon- tented women who want to start gift shops, and go on the lecture platform, and be movie actresses, and do anything else on earth except stay at home and get Believe me, the great problem of the American husband is how to make home attractive enough to his wife to make her stay in it, and so I think a man who has been lucky enough to get a domestic woman is crazy if he wants to drag her out of her home and put her to work. You are quite right to refuse to leave your home and go into business. Making the home is the woman's job in the matrimonial contract and when she has done that properly, she has done all that any woman ought to do, and all | that any husband has a right to expect her to do. No woman should ever work outside of her home and inside of it, too, because no woman has the physical strength to carry on two jobs at the same | time. Tell your husband that if you work outside of the home, he will have to | get another housekeeper, as you will not clerk, or keep books, or pound a type- writer all day and then come home and cook, and clean, and scrub. 1If your husband thinks that you will help him by earning money outside of the home, he is mistaken. The best way you can possibly help him is by feeding him properly and ministering to his physical comfort. DOROTHY DIX. o ZAR MISS DIX: I have left my home and the city where I had good prospects to come to another city where I have no prospects of even getting girl dearly and want to marry her if I can prove successful here, but she refuses to leave her city and her family and to go where I could be a success. What shall I do? PUZZLED YOUNG MAN. Answer: Take the next train back to your own place, where you belong and where you can make money. The girl doesn't care much for you, and she would make you a poor wife if she isn't willing to follow vour fortunes wherever they I"(dil ‘And you may be very sure she will have nothing to do with you if you are a failure, T have known many men who sacrificed their prospects to please the women they loved, but I have never known one of these women who appreciated the sacrifice, or who didn't reproach the man for not making money, even when she had been the cause of his failure, So my advice to you Is to go back to your job and make good at it. The girl will come to you if she cares for you, and if her city outrivals you, let it | have her. R Y DIX. (Copsrisht, 192¢.) THE WIVES OF THE PRESIDENTS Anna Harrison, Who Was Greatly Displeased When William Henry Harrison Was No BY J. P. “HER FAVORITE WAS LITTLE BENJAMIN.” It was in 1795 that Anna Symmes met William Henry Harrison. ~ Little did she imagine that through him she would become the wife of one President of the United States and the grand- mother of another. Miss Symmes had gone down from North Bend, near what is now Cin- cinnti, on the Ohio River, to visit her sister, Mrs. Peyton Short, in Lexing- ton, K There a Capt. Harrison, of whom she already had heard much, was presented to her. He was the son of Benjamin Har- rison, the noted Virginian, signer of the Declaration of Independence and assoclate of - Washington and other founders of the Republic. ~Benjamin Harrison had designed his son for medicine, but his dying before the son's education was complete, with his for- tune_considerably reduced, had left the son free to follow his bent. That bent had led William Henry Harrison to Ohio to help first St. Clair and then Mad Anthony Wayne battle the Brit- ish and Indians. He now was com mander of Fort Washington at Cin- cinnati, although scarcely 23. Capt. Harrison was 6 feet tall and athletic. He not only was a brave soldler. He was impetuous and de- termined. He could recite poetry and quote from the classics with facility. Little wonder that Anna Symmes, petite, graceful, with black hair and eyes, should fall in love with him as he with her, and commit her beauti- ful little person to his care. She was still 20 and not long out of a semi- nary. He was a figure to stir her sense of the remantic. And among the crude vioneers she had met few men born lik» herself in high staifon in the East. She had only recently come West, She had been born at Morristown, N. J., the daughter of John Cleves Symmes, an officer in the Continental | Army. When she was 4 her’ mother | died, and she was placed with her grandparents at Southold, Long Island, | to_be raised and educated. With the close of the Revolution Col. Symmes went West. He bought a grant of land stretching north from the | Ohio River between the Great and Little Miami Rivers. He put up three log cabins at North Bend, intending them to be the nucleus of a great com- mercial center. As judge of the North- west_territory he was one of the most influential men on the frontier. However, Fort Washington, upon which the settlers depénded for pro- tection, was at Cincinnati. That set- | tlement grew. North Bend never was more than a vision. Anna Symmes came to North Bend January 1, 1795. She met Capt. Har- rison during the Summer of the same | year. On November 22 they were man | and wife, Judge Symmes at first accepted Har- rison as a prospective son-in-law. But | Jater he heard unfavorable reports of the captain and forbade the wedding. | His dictum was of no avail. While he | was away from home on business a wedding day was set, guests were in- vited and the marriage was celebrated, Symmes' second wife, who had been Miss Susan Livingsion, a daughter of Gov. Livirigston of New York, aided (he conspirators. Capt. Harrison went back to Fort | Washiugton, He met his father-in-law in_Cincinnati. “Well,” said Symmes, “I understand | you have married Anna.” | oy, KivY do you expect to support her?"” ‘By my sword and my own right arm.” Symmes relented.. He gave his bless- ing to the young couple and they went havpily to settle in a house Harrison buili near Fort Washington, Later they moved to North Bend. Anna Harrison was a woman of fine physique, hale and hearty. She needed to be. She gave her husband nine children, and since he was away from home a great deal of the time, most of heir raising devolved on her, ominated for President. GLASS. He was too conscientious to make money from his opportunities. He be- come famous as winner of the battle of Tippecanoe and as governor of the| Northwest Territory, but he did not profit. However, Mrs. Harrison, de- lighted when he finally resigned and came back to their farm to stay, did not mind. All she wanted was quiet and companionship. His nomination for the presidency in 1836 by the Whigs annoyed her. She was pleased when he was beaten. But the old war horse couldnt be kept down. He wanted to reform the Gov- ernment and rid it of the infamous “spolls” system. In 1840 he ran again and won. Mrs. Harrison was in one of her scattered perlods of ill health. She remained in North Bend during the Inauguration, waiting to grow better, in order that she might join the President in Washington. Then shocking news came. The general, worn down by the campaign and the cares of office, had been caught in a rain, and, developing | pneumonia, had died after only a month in office. In the crude conditions of those times it was impossible for her to attend the funeral. She waited for the body to be brought back to North Bend, where she had the burial with fitting ceremonies. Then she carried on- as before. She was in her eighty-ninth year when she died in 1864. Among her many grandchildren her favorite was little Benjamin Harrison, named for his great-grandfather. He also was to become President of the United States. (Copyright, 1928.) Butterscotch Cream Pie.

From the ranks of each have emerged men who left indelible marks on the pages of history. After all, the actor frequently lives more drama than is seen on the stage. hours when the grease and costume are discarded and when, sometimes, the breaks are going against him. When, for example, he is attired “like a mil- lion dollars” and a package of cigar- ettes is a luxury. When he haunts the agencies day after day, seeking the elusive role that will elevate him to stardom. If he has a dollar in his jeans he will share it with a less fortunate player. of times. There are actors’ boardin houses where credit is extended in. definitely, because the proprietor knows that when her guests work again, she will be amply repaid for her patience. The actor is naturally charitable, be- ing only too familiar, himself, with the vicissitudes of life. He is a good pal and companion. Who will say that the life of an aviator is not dramatic? Not only in the stress of when courageous the clouds, but in the dally, ordinary performance of duty.

Theirs is the philosophy of living. One night we sat in a fraternity house with three men who were pioneers in flying. Each had performed valiant deeds. Two had been “war birds” and one was a member of the flying expedition to Alaska. As a mat- ter of fact, one had been a member of Congress before entering the service. Tuberculosis, Bones and Glands. Mrs. S.—Tuberculosis .of the bones and glands is most frequently due to the bovine type of tuberculosis and will be eradicated when tuberculosis in cat- tle is eradicated.

D. | There are two general classifications f '.:xmors»the benign and the malig- nant. The malignant are those which may | be fatal, for they often grow rapidly I and spread into the surrounding tissues, and by metastasis—that is, the tumor | cells break off from the parent tumor | and are carried by the lymph or blood | stream to other parts of the body and form new tumors. Cancers and sar- comas are of the malignant type. Thep must be removed very early before me= tastasis takes place. The beningn tumors are those which do not spread into the surrounding tissues, for they are usually encapsu- ~ lated and do not form metastases. They are dahgerous only when their position | makes them dangerous, such, for in- | stance, as they would be if they were |in the brain or other vital organs. | _ Evidently our Japanese friends are | referring to the benign type of tumor, B S o Cooking Remedy.
