WOMAN'S PAGE. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. ¢, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1928. BY MARY No hat is smart this season that is not soft and pliant and of the utmost % lightness of weight. These new hats keep their shape not by means of wires and canvas or stiffness of the hat fab- ric, but by reason of precise shaping and clever manipulation. Essentially their form consists in the form of the head which they cover.

He wrote an account of his travels, from which this is a selection.) 1 saddled my horse and continued my journey, I traveled over a level but more fertile country than I had seen for some time until sunset, when, coming to a path. that took a southerly direc- tion, I followed it uhtil midnight, at which time I arrived at a small pool of rainwater, and the wood being open, I determined to rest by it for the night. Having given my horse the remainder of the corn, I made my bed as formerly, but the mosquitoes and flies from the pool prevented sleep for some time, and I was twice disturbed in the night by wild beasts which came very near and ‘whose howling kept the horse in con- tinual terror. (July 4,) At daybreak I pursued my course through the woods as formerly; saw numbers of antelopes, wild hogs and ostriches. But the soil was more hilly and not so fertile as I had found it the preceding day. About 11 o'clock T ascended an emi- nence, where I climbed a tree and dis- covered, at about eight miles distance, an open part of the country, with sev- eral red spots, which I concluded were cultivated land, and directing my course that way, -eame to the precincts of a watering about 1 o'clock. From appearance of the place I Judged it to belong to the Foulahs and was hopeful that I should meet a better reception than I had experienced at Shrilla. In this T was not deceived, for one of the shepheyds invited me to st;xt:z into his tent and partake of some s. This was one of those low Foulah tents in which is just room sufficient to sit upright and in which the fam- ily, the ture, ete., seem huddled to- gether like so many articles in a chest. ‘When I had crept upon my hands and knees into this humble habitation, I found that it contained a woman and three , who, together with the shepherd and myself, completely occu- pied the floor. A of boiled corn and dates was rodu and the master of the fam- ly, as i3 customary in this part of the country, first tasted it himself and then desired me. to follow his example. ‘Whilst I was eating the children kept their eyes fixed upon me, and no sooner did the shepherd pronounce the word Nazarani than they began to cry and the mother crept slowly toward the door, out of which she sprang like a greyhound, and was ipstantly followed by _her children. 5 So htened were they at the very ' name ‘of Christian taat no entreaties could induce them to approach the tent. Here I purchased some corn for my horse in exchange for some brass ‘buttons, and having thanked the chep- ‘herd for his hospitality, struck again into the woods. At sunset I came toa road that took fthe for Bambarra and re- solved ' to follow it for the night, but about 8 o'clock, hearing some people coming from the southward, I thought it prudent to hide myself among. some thick bushes near the road. As those thickets are generally fuill of wild beasts, I found my situation rather un- pleasant—sitting in the dark, holding my horse by the nose with both hands to prevent him from neighing and equally afrald of the natives without and the wild beasts within. My fears, however, were soon di pated; for the people, after look round the thicket and perceiving noth- ing, went away, and I hastened to the more open parts of the wood, where I pursued my journey E. 8.

And no hat is smart this season that does not have about it some sort of downward draping or drooping toward the back. I have before me sketches of some dozen of the season’s smartest hats—representing the creative genius of Agnes, Jane Blanchot, Camille Roger, Rose Descat, Marie Alphonsine, etc., and about each and every one there is some instance of the downward line. | Berets are as good as ever, and many of these are pulled down toward the back at one side. This characteristic cloches, pokes, skull caps, berets and toques all have in common. For sports wear the soft felt shape with brim | drooping at the sides and very short at the back is still in favor, but the beret | made of soft felt, so soft as to seem more like a cloth than felt, is rapidly coming forward as a rival for sports wear. To accent the downward droop at the back the beret may have a band of rib- bon round the crown with a bow with ends left at the back behind one ear. If perchance you have any sort of soft beret in your possession, I would sug- gest bringing it up-to-date by a ribbon | band and bow of this sort. TFhen when | you put it on let it droop a little back- | ward and arrange the front so_that it | shows just a little forshead. But re- tmember that this patch of forehead to | be really smart should not be very wide. A little touch of handmade trimming gives the dressmaker finish to your frock that is so much admired this sea- son. And one of the easiest ways to achieve this is by means of wool em- | broidery on_coarse canvas, which you | may make in the form of bandings or applique. If you would like to know how to do this, please send me your stamped, self-addressed envelope and I ! will send it at once. from my route, in order to quench my thirst. Having accomplished this from a large pool of rain water, I sought for an open spot with a single tree in the midst, under which I made my bed for the night. I was disturbed by some wolves toward mornmf, which induced me to set forward a little before day; and having passed a small village called Wassalita, I came about 10 o’clock (July 5) to a negro town. Hearing that two negroes were going to Sego, 1 was happy to have their company, and we set out immediately. I was constantly taken for a Moor, and became the subject of much merriment to the Bambarrans, who, seeing me drive my horse before me, laughed heartily at my appearance. “He has been at Mecca,” said one, “you may see that by his clothes.” | Another asked if my horse was sick, a third wished to purchase it, etc.; so. that I believe the very slaves were ashamed to be seen in my company, Just before it was dark, we took wu] our lodgings for the night at a small village, where I procured some victuals for myself and some corn for my horse, at the moderate price of a button, and was told that I should sce the Niger (which the negroes call Joliba, or the great water), early the next day. The lions are here very numerous; the gates are shut a little after sunset, and nobody is allowed to go out. The thoughts of seeing the Niger in the morning and the troublesome buzzing of mosquitoes prevented me from shut- ting my eyes during the night, and I had saddled my horse and was in readi~ ness before daylight, but on account of the wild beasts we were obliged to wait until the people were stirring and the gates opened. ‘This happened to be a market day at Sego and the roads were everywhere filled with people carrying different ar~ ticles to sell. We passed four lars villages, and at 8 o'clock saw the mo&‘ over Sego. As we apbroached the town I was fortunate enough to overtake the fugl- tive Kaartans, to whose kindness I had been so much indebted in my journey through Bambarra. The; nmd{ly agreed to introduce me to their king, and we rode together through the ground, where, as I was looki Iously around for the river, one of them called out, “Geo affili” (see the water), Looking forward, I saw with infinite pleasure the great object of my mission, the long-sought-for majestic Niger, glittering in the morning sun, as broad as the Thames at Westminster, and flowing slowly to the eastward, I hastened to the brink, and having drank of the water, lifted up my fervent thanks in prayer to the Great Ruler of all things for having thus far crowned | OPPORTUNITY! —By JOHN CASSEL.

JESSE W. SPROWLS. Suggestion, There is no subject in all psychology more interesting or more practical than suggestion. At_the same time there is no subject about which you may find & greater diversity of opinion. Suppose you feel the need now and then of controlling the behavior of an- other pergon. You may wish to sell him something, for example. The moment my endeavors with success, My Neighbor Says: To clean vinegar cruets, fill them with warm water to which a few drops of household ammo- nia has been added. Let stand for an hour, then rinse with luke- warm water. A little kerosene added to the warm soapsuds with which lino- leum is to be washed will loosen the dirt. Never wrap silver in bleached flannel; wrap it in unbleached flannel. The sulphur used in bleaching flannel will tarnish sil- ver. When blowing out a candle hold the light above you and then blow.

Other peo- | ple will excuse his failure to participate |in normal social life on the grounds of ,his special defect, but the true reason for his failure is the feeling of inade- guacy and incompetence to cope With e. The burden of blame for the develop- ment of stuttering in young people lies with parents and teachers. Acknowl- edgment of this fact, however, does not benefit the victim of unwise training. Let us suppose, for example, that a girl in her teens wishes to cure herself of this defect. How shall she set about it? First, she should ascertain from her physician whether there is any mal- formation in the organs of speech, or whether the stuttering is merely a nerv- ous habit. The latter is usually the case. At the same time she should have a thorough physical examination to see wherein she falls short of perfect health, Timidity is often due to physical infe- riority. The knowledge that one's body |is in perfect condition bolsters up one'’s | self-confidence wonderfully. 1t is often a good plan for such a girl ito go to a good school or camp to get |away from the old environment that s been the cause of her trouble. Her | problem is to develop self-confidence, { independence and social adjustment. She must not stand aloof from the | others, but must learn team work, so that she will feel herself a necessary o start out to canvass your prospece ve buyer you are devising schemes to control his behavior, epitomized by the expression getting his “name on the dotted line.” Now, in order to get his name on the dotted line you must get his thoughts centered on one idea. In other words, you must focus his attention so com- pletely that other and contrary ideas cannot get into action. The condition of one’s mind at any ayerage moment may be pictured as a dot with a series of larger and larger rings around it. The dot in the pic- ture is the central idea—the thing that {s dominant in the mind for the time belng ‘The first ring would then repre- sent a fringe of consciousness—some- thing next in importance so far as at- tention is concerned. All the other rings would represent ideas still more remote from the focus or central idea. Now for suggestion. It's merely a way of getting rid of the rings about the dot; that is, the fringes of atten- tion are talked out of existence. Finally nothing is left but the central notion, the focus of attention. When you st your man into that mental condition you have made a success at suggestion. At the psychological moment hand him the pad with the dotted line. He will sign his name.

CRAIG. October 31, 1857—Today there are 56 prisoners in the local Workhouse and 45 paupers in the Almshouse. At the present time the prisoners are as com- fortable as possible in the temporary structures erected for their use, but it is feared that during the Winter pris- oners must necessarily be kept in close confinement a great part of the time and that this will engender sickness. Many prisoners escape here and if they wouid finally leave city the authori- ties say it might be just as well, but they never do. The area walls, together with the main basement walls of the north front of the Patent Office extension, are up and the foundations of the interior division walls are already begun. In the course of the present Autumn it is ex- pected that the brick division walls will be built and the basement story arched over The granite for the greater part of this branch of the extension is already cut and great progress toward the com- pletion of the north front is expected next Summer. The western wing can now be seen in its finished state and under more favorable circumstances than hereto- fore. The finishing touches about the portico have been applied and the re- sult in the way of architectural effect is highly beautiful. The effect is en- hanced by the removal of the work- shogt from Ninth street, opposite the west wing and the leveling of the street. Around the base, extending to the street line, workmen are now engaged in laying off and beautifying the grounds and setting the stone sleepers con- tain the iron fence, which is to be simi- lar to the fence surrounding the east ng. It was stated toda{ that one of the five new screw-propeller vessels of war authorized by Congress at its last ses- sion will be be constructed in the Washington Navy Yard. From this it will be seen that during the coming Winter mechanics and laborers con- nected with the navy yard will be fully employed. This is the intention of the Secretary of the Navy, who has directed that the work commence as soon as the drawings for the vessels are completed, which is expected to be in a few weeks.
