Value in Warm BY MARY MARSHALL. ‘ There are women who boast that they cannot endure the feeling of any- thing woolen against the skin., They haven't worn a costume with a woolen bodice for ever so long, and possibly they feel that their inability to do so without discomfort indicates a finer gkin or more delicately poised nervous system than that possessed by women /-6 LIGHT-WEIGHT WOOLEN CHAL- LIS MAKES A PRACTICAL JUMPER ‘WHEN CHOSEN IN AN ATTRACTIVE DESIGN OF NAVY BLUE ON TAN AND WORN WITH. A PLEATED SKIRT OF NAVY BLUE SILK. who have no such objections. Usually I think their distaste for wool next the skin comes from recollections of coarse serge school frocks they had to wear in overheated schoolrooms when young —and the scratchiness usyally wasn't due to the wool so much as to the coarseness of the material or the cotton mixed with the wool. I had some such objections to woolen blouses myself until a few seasons ago, when I found a lightweight crepe wool sports jumper frock quite as soft in texture and as easy to wear as georgette or crepe de chine. So I am convinced that in every woman's wardrobe there is place for an overblouse or two of some one of the fine, light-weight but warm woolen materials. Wool voile, wool crepe, fine flannel, challis might be suggested. Recently I have seen figured challis of colorful designs that might be ad- mirably combined with skirts of solid color, and there is something a little smarter about the figured blouse and BEDTIME STORIES *». Rausty Despairs. *Tis those alone who greatly dare ' Who ne'er give way to grim despair. —Old Mother Nature. Rusty the Fox Squirrel was in a tight place. Rusty had started on a long journey. He had left the Green Forest, for there were no nuts there. He had headed south, for he intended to keep on going until he should reach a place where there was food for a hungry squirrel—food enough to last him all Winter. Now, a long journey means adventure. Rusty had found this out at once. Before he was across the Green Meadows the sharp eyes of Redtail the Hawk had discovered him and Rusty had been obliged to seek safety among some bushes along a fence that crossed the Green Meadows just there. ‘Those bushes had saved Rusty from Redtail. But now Rusty didn't know what to do next. He couldn't see' Red- tail, for the latter had flown away, but he felt certain that Redtail was sitting where those wonderful eyes of his could keep watch of the Green Meadows and that old fence. To reach the nearest woodland Rusty would have to cross some open meadow. There was no way out of it. And that was going to be very risky. If he waited until night, Hooty the Owl might discover him. Rusty felt that he was in a Woolen Materials plain pleated skirt than the frock en- tirely ‘'made of figured material. In planning such an ensemble you might have the skirt match the coat with which it is to be worn with the figured | challis picking up the same color in part |of the design. And since one skirt usually serves longer than one blouse and since the climate here is so often variable, I suggest a single pleated skirt with two complementary blouses—one | of silk and one of challis.

November 6, 1860.—As the voters are | going to the polls today in many States to cast their ballots in the presidential | | election, all indications point to the | election of Abraham Lincoln of Illinois |as the nmext President of the United | States. | Every one in Washington and most persons elsewhere in the Nation are asking, “What will be the fate of the | Federal Government and of the City of | Washington, when a Republican Presi- | dent is elected upon an anti-slavery platform?” | There are may hot-blooded Southern- | ers”here who freely predict that the election’ of Mr. Lincoln will mean the | breaking in twain of the Union by the | secession of the Southern or slave- | holding States. In that case the ques- tion of the future of this city, which | lies between two slave States, Virginia and Maryland, and is surrounded on | all sides by slave territory, will become | of paramount importance. | sgame persons contend that even if | virginia does secede from the Union | after the inauguration of Mr. Lincoln as President, Maryland will not follow the Old Dominion’s example. They base this belief upon the fact that the northern and western portions of Maryland are inhabited by people who | are for the most part opposed to slavery. Efforts will doubtless be made to | settle the differences between the slave and free States amicably. Mr. Lincoln is something of an unknown quantity in national politics, however, and per- sons in official life here are unable ac- curately to forecast what position he may take when he enters the White House. Mr. Lincoln served one term in the House of Representatives, but did not remain here long enough to make himself known generally to the people of Washington, nor to make much of an impression upon the affairs of the Nation. It will be remembered, however, that Representative Lincoln did propose, while in the House, to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia, under a plan by which slave owners here would | ing_shoe.

It is high enough to give the foot almost the same grace as the high French heel, and yet with its broad base it makes a comfortable walk- The low-cut oxford and one-strap slipper and pump are made with this heel. The majority are of calfskin, but suede, calf combination and natural lizard are also used. (Copyright, 1928.) NANCY PAGE Nancy Has Election Cake On Election Day BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Nancy was so excited over the elec- tion that she could scarcely go about her daily work. She almost forgot to watch the rising of the election cake which she was planning for dioner. Just at the time it needed attention she was listening to the radio. But she caught the dough in time. This is the way she made the cake. She started with ordinary yeast bread dough. When it had risen once and had been kneaded she took out one cup of dough. Into this, using her hand, she worked one-half cup butter. It took some time to get it well in- corporated. Next she added one cup well beaten egg mixed with one cup be reimbursed for their loss of slave property. THORNTON BURGESS in order that he might see better. He had been there only a moment or two when he discovered a_hunter coming up along the fence. He was on the ground, working back and forth through the bushes. Who do you think that hunter was? It was Reddy Fox. Rusty's heart seemed to give an extra flop when he discovered that. Now he was in a tight place and that tight place was becoming tighter. There was a lit- tle tree growing beside the fence just a little way beyond. In that tree he would be safe enough from Reddy. But sup- posing Redtail should discover him up in that little tree? Rusfy shivered when he thought of that. Rusty ran along the fence to the little tree. Then he sat on a fence- brown sugar and one-half cup sour milk. She had washed and dried a cup of seedless raisins previously and had combined them with a half dozen layer figs, which had been put into boiling water and then cut into small pieces. She sifted, measured and sifted again one and one-quarter cups | post close by the little tree to wait. Perhaps Reddy Fox might not discover him after all. Nearer and nearer came Reddy. He sniffed here and he sniffed there among the bushes along the old fence. Sometimes he would trot a short distance without sniffing. “I hope he'll do that when he reaches the place where I was,” thought Rusty. But Reddy didn’t. Rusty saw him stop abruptly and then begin to sniff around with great interest. ‘Once he ran out on the Green Meadows a little way with his nose to the ground. He was taking the back track of Rusty. But he soon discovered that it was a back track and once more hastened over to the fence. So it was that in a moment or two he discovered Rusty sitting on the top of that fencepost close to the little tree. Reddy grinned and came hurrying over to the foot of that post. Rusty didn’t wait for him to get there before climbing up in that little tree. “My, my, see who's here!” exclaimed Reddy, in a very pleased tone of voice. “What are you doing so far from the Green Forest?” . ‘To this Rusty made no Jeply. He merely glared down at Reddy. Reddy seemed to be very pleased. “Won't you come down and shake hands?” said” Reddy, and chuckled. “My, my, how fine you look! I don't know when I have been so glad to see any one. I never have been very well acquainted with you, Rusty, but I feel it in my bones that we are going to become better acquainted very shortly.” Rusty threw a hasty glance over his shoulder. There was a spot in the sky. flour and added to it one-half tea- spoon soda, one-half teaspoon cinna- mon, one-quarter teaspoon nutmeg and mace and one-half teaspoon salt. When all these ingredients were worked into the dough she put it into a bread pan and allowed it to rise for one and one-quarter hours. Then the cake was baked and later iced with a mix- ture of confectioners’ sugar stirred into two tablespoons hot cream and one teaspoon melted butter and flavored with vanilla. The election cake was elected an immediate success. Other cakes are in Nancy Page's leaflet on cakes, Write to her. care of this paper, inclosing & stamped. seli-addressed envelope, asking lor her Cake leatiel. A e Cranberry Salad. Cook one pint of cranberries in one cupful of water for 20 minutes. Stir in one cupful of sugar and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the fire and add one tablespoonful of gelatin which has been soaked for 10 minutes in half a cupful of cold water. When the mixture begins to thicken, add three- fourths cupful of diced celery and one- third cupful of chopped nuts. Turn into a mold to harden. When firm, cut into squares, place a whole nut on top of each square and serve on a lettuce leaf with mayonnaise. DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX One Woman’s Recipe for Domestic Happiness. Straight Talk to the Foolish Man Who Would Marry a Flapper. D!AR MISS DIX: Here is the happiness schedule on which I have run my home for yvears, and which has worked out perfectly: Our week begins Sunday. On that day of rest and worship we rest and worship. After morning service, whenever the weather permits, we take our lunch to some fascinating spot out of doors and there spend the remainder of the day. Mogdny night all family problems are discussed. The children present their little troubles, are sympathized with and advised. Then we all go for a ride. Upon our return the children are put to bed while husband and I discuss the business and financial side of our home, as well as the children's welfare. At no other time during the week is money mentioned nor domestic troubles of any kind brought to my husband's attention unless they are of the utmost importance. Tuesday night is husband’s liberty night. He is free to go wherever he leases. I never ask questions, but when he tells me of his own accord I am terested and pleased that he enjoyed himself. .On his night out the children and I go to tge movies, after which we walk around until the kiddies are satisfled with seeing things. Wednesday is home night. The children play games, we read, I play the piano and husband sings. Thursday is my night. My husband plays the gallant role of suitor once more and takes me out to dinner or some place of amusement or goes with me to visit friends, whatever I choose to do. Friday night is children’s night. They plan cunning little programs for the entertainment of their parents. Often they make us little presents. They may invite their playmates and I always serve them some little dainty I have specially prepared for them. Saturday night father and the kiddies go shopping and buy the family supplies, while I stay at home and grepure for Sunday. Quarreling is prohibited in our home and punished by the quarrelers being banished from their father's companionship. The children enjoy making home happy for their father, whom they regard as the best man alive. He never is cross, crabby or indifferent. If you think my system good enough to pass on to other home-makers, it is yours. MRS, SCHEMING-TO-MAKE-HUSBAND-HAPPY, Answer: I do think your system good enough to pass on to others, and I am sure that in thousands of other homes it could be put into effect as successfully as it is in yours, Making & happy home is not a matter of luck. It is just bringing good, hard, common sense, unselfishness and self-control to bear on the problem, and then its difficulties fade away like mist before the sun. You and your husband seek each other’s happiness before your own, and so you find love and peace in your home. You make comrades of your children and teach them that they must do their part toward making a happy home, and you fill their young minds with a sense of gratitude and obligation and respect for their parents. You may depend upon it that children brought up with these principles and in this atmosphere will never give you a minute’s trouble. On the contrary, they will grow up to be fine men and women who will be a crown of honor to you. ‘You and your husband find happiness in simple things, in your home and in your family, and in that you have found the secret of knowing how to live. I hope that many of the readers of this paper will follow your example, ¢ % DOROTHY DIX. D!AR DOROTHY DIX: T am 39 years old and going with a nice girl who is 35. She understands how to get along, as she has had to make her own way in the world. She is industrious and thrifty and a good housekeeper, and would make a splendid wife. On the other hand, there is a pretty liftle flapper in love with me. I do not like her ways, but she is awfully pretty. What I want to know is, would I be happier with the girl who is 35 or the one who is 16? WORRIED THIRTY-NINE. Answer: This question is really too silly to answer, except that it presents the point of view of 50 many men. They marry the woman who is the desire of their eyes for the minute, instead of the woman who comes up to their ideal, and then have the nerve to complain that marriage is a failure. . . Tt would be all right for a man to marry a girl because she is young and pretty and cute if he were going to be satisfled with her being merely young and pretty and cute, but he isn't. The minute he gets her for a wife he wants her to have all of the domestic virtues besides, and to be steady and reliable and economical and homestaying, and a good cook. Here you are, a man of 39, with Eer'.ulnly some experience of life and at least one degree of intelligence. You know perfectly well that the little flapper, whose ways you do not like, is in no way fitted to make you the sort of wife you w;;tx;‘t.hbub you are going to marry her, nevertheless, and then be dissatisfied wi er. . And all the time there is the woman waiting around the corner who would a\.‘lke ke!;“!ny the kind of a wife you want and whom you could have for e asking But here is the tragic part of it. You won't be happy if you marry either one of these women. You won't be happy with the flapper because she isn't industrious and economical and a good cook, and you wouldn't be happy with the industrious, economical girl because she hasn't the looks and the charm of the flapper. My advice to you is not to marry either one, but to wait until you find a girl who combines the good qualities of both. DOROTHY DIX. R DIAB MISS DIX: You seem to think that a woman can work after marriage— I mean office work—and still make a success of her married life. I feel sure that you are wrong. A man likes his wife to be dependent upon him. It makes him love her more, and if she supports herself and furnishes money to run the house on, there is going to be serious trouble. I know six couples who are contemplating separdtion, and in every case the trouble resulted from the wife's working. A man just doesn't like it, and a woman should know better than to expect to make a comfortable, happy home for a man and be a bread-winner at the same time. MRS. J. W. 8. Answer: I do not advocate a woman’s working outside her home after marriage unless it is necessary or there are exceptional conditions which make it advisable. I agree with you that, generally speaking, it is best that a man support the home alone and that the woman devote herself to making the home, but there are many men who are fine and noble and lovable who are not endowed by nature with the gift of money-making. Strive as they will they will never make more than a small salary, not enough for two people to live upon in even ordinary comfort, and in such a case a woman who loves such a man must give him up entirely or sink into dire E::e.ni ‘wrét;;lr;?;; &:‘ }t‘et]ge him r]ranke the “tvmtgt; Often, also, a young couple can could nev ' e s mavae, y er get otherwise by the wife's working for a But it Is truc that it is a dangerous experiment for a woman to try, fe y men turn loafers on the wife Who can support the family, and let hex do it. ‘When a woman has children she should never work outside of th unless it is a matter of starvation.

International ‘FEATURES, MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Coiffure for Small Face. Dear Miss Leeds: (1) I have a small face and my hair is bobbed and natur- ally wavy. How shall I dress it? (2) Is there any other way to redden the cheeks besides using rouge? Is rouge harmful to the skin? (3) How can I gain weight? (4) How can I make myself popular with boys and girls? J. M. Answer: (1) Since your face is small you may wear your hair brushed straight back from your forehead and temples. Wet it well after combing it smooth, and push it forward so that it will fall into natural waves. Wear your side hair short and fluffy, with the lobes of your ear showing. You may have a single curl in the middle of your forehead and one in front of each ear. (2) A harmless natural rouge is made of beet juice; cut a beat and rub in on your cheeks. It is, of course, much better to cultivate a natural color in your cheeks. Your paleness may be due to underweight, so build yourself up by eating plenty of nourishing food, exercising outdoors every day and sleeping nine or ten hours each night. A temporary flush may be brought to the cheeks by bathing them in hot and cold water alternately several times. The regular use of rouge on young skins tends to coarsen and wither them. (3) Please send a stamped, self-ad- dressed envelope for my instructions on gaining weight, which include diet suggestions. (4) Think what qualities in others attract you, such as good na- ture, unselfishness, reliability and gen- erosity, and try to cultivate them. Most. girls who are unpopular are so because they are self-centered and quick to think and speak evil of others. Be fair to others, be thoughtful of their comfort, be jolly and be kind in thought, word and deed. Dress neatly and becomingly and have good man- ners, In order to have friends you must act in a friendly way. Go out of your way to do friendly, helpful things, and never be catty, LOIS LEEDS. Curing Bad Habits. Dear Miss Leeds: What would: you suggest to free man from a bad habit, such as smoking? W. T. N. Answer: It is offen a good plan when breaking a bad habit to do it ~radually. Smoke one less cigarette or cigar each day until you are smoking one, then stop altogether. It is very important to keep your mind occupied with other interests; keep busy, so that you will not have time to think how much you want a smoke. I think that interest in nature and outdoor life is one of the best antidotes for bad habits and lumufimwn is a great aid in building or breaking up habits Be- fore droppin; that you will power. off to sleep tell yourself ke tobacco.

Miss M. V. Answer: Bunions usually occur at the base of the great toe. I think it quite likely you are getting one. You should wear shoes with a straight Inner line, that is, shoes that are 'so shaped that they allow the great toe to point straight forward instead of bending it in toward the toes. Stand in bare feet with your feet close together; the great toes should touch each other all the way along. If the great toe joints are enlarged you cannot bring the great toes together when your heels are to- gether. LOIS LEEDS. Liver Loaf. Boil two pounds of beef or calf liver until it comes to pleces when tested with a fork, with two medium-sized onions, one clove of garlic and pepper to taste added. Remove from the kettle and strain through a colander. Run through a meat chopper or mash very fine. Cook one can of tomatoes for a few minutes in a small piece of but- ter. Molsten one cupful of bread crumbs with enough of the stock in which the liver was cooked to make of the con- sistency of thick batter. Combine the liver and tomatoes with two raw eggs and one cupful of bread crumbs and salt to taste. Peel three hard-boiled eggs and press them into the loaf. one in the middle of the loaf, and one at each end. Press the loaf to- gether and place in a baking pan with enough of the stock to prevent burning. Bake in the oven until nicely browned Allow the loaf to cool in a pan, then remove to the refrigerator to thor- oughly chill before slicing. *Mere brushing cannot protect THE DANGER LINE RECENTLY, as the result of an investigation which included 50,000 practic- ing dentists, the dental profession of America made these statements: (1) Acids are the most frequent cause of tooth decay and in- fected gums. (2) The most serious trouble occurs at the place where teeth and gums meet—known as The Danger Line. (3) The best product known to neutralize acids in the mouth is Milk of Magnesia. It is obvious therefore that if you are to guard against the threat of de- cayed teeth and infected gums you must prevent acid decay. And as you cannot scour the acids away, there is one way to protect your- self . . . use a dentifrice that will neutralize them. Squibb’s Dental Cream brings this protection. It is made with more than 50% Squibb’s Milk of Magnesia. When you brush your teeth with it, tiny particles of Milk of Magnesia are forced into every pit and crevice where atids form. There they remain to safe- guard your teeth and gums for a long time after use. Start now to protect your teeth and gums correctly— especially at The Danger Line. See your dentist reg- ularly —and use Squibb’s Dental Cream. It cleans beautifully. It relieves sen- sitive teeth and sore gums. It is safe for everyone. Copyright 1928 by E. R.
