WOMAN'’S PAGE. Keeping Hosiery in Best Condition BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. The words *“Handle with care” should be kept in mind when taking hold of hosiery.

The slightest roughness in the finger tips, a nail that is uneven, a ring—any one of these things may be responsible for pulling a thread out just BEDTIME STORIE The Boy and the Gun. Things with pain and sorrow fraught Are often done in name of sport . —Old Mother Nature. Rusty the Fox Squirrel had left be- hind him the lake on which he had had his great adventure. He was still hunting for a place where there would be promise of food enough to last all ‘Winter. He was getting tived of travel- ing. He had had enough of it. But so far he hadn't been able to find the food supgoly. So there was nothing to do but keep on. It certainly had been a bad year for nuts over a great deal of territory. One mornnig Rusty came to a little group of trees. It was a little grove. e alaoy DOWN BELOW WAS A BOY; IN HIS HANDS WAS A GUN. ‘There were hickory trees among them and he found a few scattered hickory nuts. They were the first hickory nu's he had found since he started on his Journey. Perhaps you can guess how good they tasted to him. He was sit- ting up in a tree eating one and so happy that he had forgotten every- thing but his enjoyment. He didn't hear dry leaves below him rustling. He didn’t hear the snap of a dead twig. Spang! Something knocked a nut right out of his paws. Rusty such a fright that he nearly fell from his ?‘erch. Yes, sir. he nearly fell from is perch. Spang! Something struck the branch Rusty was sitting on. He sprang to the trunk of the tree and a little or for causing a run. To mend such places invisibly the hosiery must be sent to an expert mender, unless the woman has learned the deft process, and, while the cost may not mean much. it will bs something, the price according with the damage done. What is of quit> as much moment often | is that it takes a while to have the work done and in the meantime one has o get along without that particular | pair of stockings. One thing that will help save the hosiery from getting in poor condition is to put each pair of stockings away | carefully folded. There are neat little | pressly for stockings. If one of these is | tions far enough apart for the space to hold other hosiery besides the extra | sheer. Now that cold weather is ap- proaching heavier silk will be .found comfortable, as well as silk and lisle and |silk and wool. These require half as much space again as ordinary silk hosiery and sometimes even more. For all-wool hosiery these boxes are scarce- ly adequate. A good way to fold stockings is to smocth each one flat from the back | seam. This will take care of the foot | neatly. Fold the foot down from the | | heel 'so that it comes over the stock- | | ing leg. This takes out the bend where | | the ankle comes, making a compara- | tively straight length. Fold the stock- ig again over the foot, then from the | top down for an equal distance, and | | then over the first folds, making one | length of several thicknesses. Fold through the center. | An ordinary box or a compartment in a bureau drawer can be used as well to hold stockings so folded, and | each pair can be taken out easily with- | out disturbing the rest. To do this, | | stand one pair of stockings against the side of the compartment or in the | corner of the box. Do not lay it down | flat. Stand each pair so folded up against the preceding one. When one row is fully occupied, start another parallel with the first and arranged | precisely as the first. This arrangement has the advantage | of displaying each pair of hosiery so ! |that at a glance whichever pair is | wanted can be selected immediately, | It can be taken out without disturb- ing the rest. and when stacked, they are as well protected as it is possible to have them. It is amazing the number of pairs of hosiery that can be so packed away in a small space. This method is preferable to rolling stockings as was the accustomed way formerly. Do not pile one pair of stockings above another. Then a search has to be made for any special pair, and those on top have to be taken out before the needed hosiery can be reached. (Copyright, 1928.) BY THORNTON- W. BURGESS he peeped around eautiously. Down below was a boy. In his hands was a gun. It wasn't one of those dreadful guns that spit fire and make a loud noise. This one made very little noise, but it shot bullets just the same. It was an air gun—the kind of a gun that boys delight to have. The boy was peering up excitedly. When he saw Rusty peeping around from behind the trunk of the tree, the boy took careful aim. Spang! The bullet hit the tree right under Rusty's nose. You should have seen him dodge back. This time he scrambled higher and tried to hide in the treetop. The boy walked around below. Every time he caught a glimpse of Rusty he would put that gun to his shoulder. Spang! would come a bullet. Poor Rusty! He tried another tree. The boy and the dreadful rifle followed him. You see, in none of those trees was there a hol- low big enough for a Fox Squirrel to hide in. The only thing he could do was to keep the trunk of the tree be- tween him and the boy with that horrid gun. At last, when Rusty was near the top of the tallest tree, one of those bullets hit him. My, how it did sting! It tore his coat so that it bled just a little. It wasn't anything serious, but it was painful. That is the trouble with those air rifles. There was small chance that at that distance a bullet would kill Rusty, but bullets could sting and hurt at that distance, as Rusty had already found out. After that, Rusty was more careful than ever to keep the trunk of the tree he happened to be in between himself and the boy. He had to peek around to keep watch of that boy and, of course, every time he did this he took some chance. One of those bullets might hit him in the eye. Poor Rusty! He was badly frightened. The place where he had been hit ached. He couldn’t see any chance to escape. It really was very dreadful for Rusty. Meanwhile, the boy was having a wonderful time. He imagined himself a mighty hunter. Every time he 1iade a good shot, he was mightily pleased with himself. Yet that boy wasn't a hard-hearted boy. He was just a thoughtless boy. He didn't understand. It didn’t occur to him that a squirrel would feel pain just as he would. He didn’'t think of Rusty as suffering dreadful fright as well as pain. He, himself, was having sport and that was ran around to the other side. Then all he thought of. (Copyright, 1928.) Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN. Paying in Advance. Some of our bills are payable in ad- vance, and there is option in the mat- ter. Most of our bills are not payable in advance, and it is generally a poor policy to pay them until they are due. The reasons are practical and psycho- logical. | ‘There should be but two ways to pur- chase for the woman of honest reputa- tion. Either for cash on delivery, be it at home or at the counter, or on credit, as in the case of the woman that “charges.” Before paying in part or in full for any article one should demand entire satisfaction. If payment is requested Practically there is no reason why i before, one's best reply is that the one should sacrifice the possession of money until there is real cause. Small ezmounts may only draw slight amounts of interest, but it is something. Fur- thermore, if one does pay in advance, & bill so paid should be paid with dis- count. Psychologically, a creditor, be he or she seamstress, milliner, tradesman, shopkeeper or furrier, is more likely to | 1ry to satisfy one before a bill is paid than after. Before being paid it is ob- vious that entire satisiaction Is re- quired. After, almost any attitude may be assumed with impunity. In some cases a small deposit may be required before work will be started on a gown or coat or some interior decora- tion, but this should only be a small amount offered as a declaration of good faith. Persons without credit, or of un- favorable reputation, are often required to pay in advance, but then there is a question of honesty. My Neighbor Says: When putting away the clean clothes place the freshly ironed ones on the bottoms of the vari- ous piles. Then towels, handker- chiefs, napkins, etc., will be used in turn and some will not wear out more quickly than others. If your milkman fails to arrive with cream in time for breakfast, whip an egg very light, place a article it worth its price or nothing at all. The price will be pald if the article is up to specifications. A few women, but excesdingly few, discount their bills. That is, if they pay a bill a month in advance they | take off a half of 1 per cent, because that is at the rate of 6 per cent per annum. It would be 1 per cent for a payment two months in advance. By paying in advance one puts oneself needlessly at the mercy of the seller, and in the event of any controversy one is in a weak position to seek an adjustment. C. O.

Lay them in a soup plate of crushed ice, with the sauce in a glass in the cen- glasses. A few sprigs of parsley ar- ranged on the ice will give additional color.

The guests had enjoyed the rubbers, but were quite ready for re- laxation, gossip and refreshments. They | all exclaimed when the hostess brought | in the trays. Instead of removing the cards, tallies and markers she set o tray which was just a bit smaller than a card table top-right over the play- ing space. But the cards did not have to be removed, for the tray was on legs There were five in all, one in center and one at each corner. They stood about an inch high, thus clearing the clutter on the table. There was a half- 1;1;}1 ledge around the tray on all four sides. A square luncheon cloth was spread on tray, napkins and silver were placed and then plates and cups with saucers were set in place. The whole thing was arranged in the kitchen and placed with no delay. Nancy and Peter were talking about the trays afterward. “We could make such a tray of lightweight three-ply ‘wood, or even of beaver board with that extra peg leg in the center. By lac- quering each one a gay color we could m?ke them ornamental as well as use- u “And you know,” went on Nancy, “I am making card table covers of oil cloth. I plan to cut them square to fit table top and then sew a strip of three- quarter inch wide elastic across each corner. The elastic slips over table cor- ners and holds cover in place. And the glazed finish of oil cloth makes a good playing surface. I'll make trays and covers to match. That's what I'll do.” Peter was too sleepy to do anything but yawn and say “Uh huh, sounds like a fine idea.” MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST. Baked Bananas. Rolled Oats with Cream. Deviled Beef.

It is still more difficult to realize that in these days of the emancipation ;7! t\«k')mm'-n any wife is poor-spirited enough to submit to such treatment, yet that s the case. In the course of a year I get hundreds of letters from women who tell me that they are never allowed any personal liberty by their husbands. They never have a penny that they can spend as they please. They are not permitted to pay visits or recefve companys They never go to any place of amusement. Their wildest adventure is going to the grocery or the butcher shop, and even these trips must be made on schedule time, with no loitering for a little gossip. Of course, it takes an unusual combination of gifts—tyranny on the man’s part and humility and weakness on the woman's—for any husband to be able to reduce his wife to such peonage, and, as a matter of fact, not many men desire to make white slaves of their wives. However, the ancient superstitution still maintains that there is some pecu- liar virtue in a woman's being hobbled to her own fireside and that the earmark when he brought her back from the altar. Conversely, our most scathing criticism of a married woman is to call her a emulate the snail that always carries its house finding out. Obviously, a man should wish his wife to stay at home enough to turn out a good and competent job of housekeeping, but it is the results he is con- cerned with, not the length of time it takes her to do her work. He has a right to demand a clean and orderly house and good meals, but household tasks acquire no extra merit by being dawdled over instead of being performed in an energetic and efficient manner. Indeed, the cluttered-up kitchen, where a pot is always boiling on the stove, is as much a mark of incompetency as the cluttered~up desk, where the work is a perpetual hangover. ‘ e eele on its back is a mystery past SO‘ if the men were as wise in dealing with their wives as they are in handling their employes, instead of trying to keep them shut up in their homes puttering over little chores that they never get done, they would encourage them to systematize their work and to go at it with such vim and purpose that they would finish it up and have time in which to amuse themselves. This would do as much as any one thing to cheer domesticity up and keep matrimony from being a failure, because it would make wives not only happy themselves but so much pleasanter and more interesting to live with. The man who is never willin; his folly the pit into which he h within the four walls of a house without making her morbid. g to have his wife go out anywhere digs with imself falls, for you cannot shut up a woman and give her no outside interest or amusement The reason so many wives are peevish and fretful and nagging is simpl because they stay at home too much. It is the curse of houaew%llr'xk %hnt‘ wt?llz it occupies a woman's hands, it leaves her brain with nothing but the same round of thoughts and memories to go over. Having nothing new to interest her, the hnmekeefplng woman magnifies trifling offenses into great grievances. Having nothing fresh to talk about, she harps on some old mistake or faulf until she drives her husband mad. It would pay a man, just as a matter of self-protection, to take his wife out to some place of amusement once or twice a week, so that she might have something to think about while she swept and scrubbed and baked and stewed and sewed except his shortcomings. If he were wise he would urge her to join clubs and societies and take an afternoen or so off to play bridge, because that would keep her happy and contented, and a happy and contented wife makes a PR pleasant home.

The caveman within us undoubtedly survives; and the usual explanation of the difficulties of civilization is the strength of primitive human passion. Man was already human thousands upon thousands of years ago, when he ceased to be apelike; but humanizing the human is in comparison a rather recent process. Hence it goes hard and it is far from complete. It isn't merely that the latest type of civilization is a veneer over the layers of cruder times —scratch the Russian and you find the Tartar—but that in each generation you have to meet with the resistance established by age-old habits. You have to pierce the biological shell underneath the cultural one fo dislodge or re- educate the caveman hefore you reach even the Tartar, The portion of the total human psychology in which caveman traits survive and op:rate is the emotional domain. The highest type cf skull in caveman days i3 quite comparable to that of twentieth-century humans. As a craftsman and a thinker he was in our class, for by our class we must in fair- ness mean the average thinking capacity of the average man. He put that brain to work on quite different patterns; he did differently; he lived differently. All that we know is a matter of training, and the ease with which Indian or Malay or the varieties of white races adapt themselves to shifts in the ways of living gives strong reason to suppose that the caveman could do the same. A full-blooded Indian driving his auto t¥rough the streets of Tulsa carries no deep-seated incongrmity. He and we have the same biological inheritance for learning, The type of learning in driv- ing an auto is no different from that involved in paddling his own canoe. On the roofs of caves in Southern France are drawings of animals that show the same craftsmanship as cave- man survives, for there has been no need of any radical transformation. The caveman mind had only to be put to exercise on new patterns. There is no difference in the mental ability reed- ed to learn to speak Choctaw or Chi- nese or choice English; i3 just a mat- ter of patterns to which the common ability to speak and have ideas to put to words is trained. Started early enough, any language can be acquired by any race, The emotional nature of man pre- sents quite a different story. The reconstruction necessarv to make a modernly feeling man out o” a cave- man is a radical one, if we take the historical evidence as convincing. To our way of feeling, the' caveman was a brute, and the brutality hung cn per- sistently through the ages. It we take the attitude toward hu- man life as a criterion, it was held in slight regard. Head-hunting, expos- ing superfluous girl infants, killing off the aged and infirm, human sacrifice, blood feuds, massacre and extermina- tion, torture, cannibalism—such is the dismal story. Once property rights were established this violent cruelts was expended on the thief, and hang ing for theft and a holiday to witne: Big,plumptender| golden kernelsin’ . thick com bounded by the four walls of her house and wh from the kitchen to the nursery and back lgn“ln.ose e of the small adventures she has had an rsational repertory runs gs to her table every night her little g things she has done and seen; tales d the people she has met. gossip n;z; the chief qualification in a desirable wife. place to come from and go back to, not a well as men, who combine domesticity with all the other (Copyright, 1928.) ke KEEPING MENTALLY FIT BY JOSEPH JASTROW. and those women make the DIX. it was a common occurrence. The tor- ture chambers of the towers of Nurem- berg or of London, i.ow museums of to us unintelligible practices, show how recent is the changed attitude. The excesses of the human mob in war and riots and revoiution tell the same tale. It is the hologist's task to trace these records of history and anthro- pology back to the dorainant human motives, so deeply anchored in human nature that they are not easily up- rooted. They survive, and only through constant discipline are they kept under control. Once break through these re- strictions and you release the emotional caveman who survives, Childish excesses of emotion follow the caveman type, The child is selfish, cruel, tyrannical, full of revenge and resentment, passionate. Only because he is constantly surrounded by his kins- folk, who vresent nther patterns of be- havior, discouraging these tendencies and encouraging the sympathetic emo- tions that are equally part of his re- mote inherliance, does he grow up a considerate, friendly, law-abiding citi- zen, and not a cruel, vengeful cut- throat who tak2s the law into his own hands. But the strong tendency that must be curbed and redirected is there; and the strong childish interest in blood and murder and gruesome pas- slon tells the story of the caveman, Such is the racial blography repeated in the history of each generation. Be- cause the record of the history of hu- man emotions is what it s, the emo- tional education of children presents a formidable task. And for the same reason the humanizing of the human race is the limitless problem oi society. The problem of poiicing and govern. ing the human mob has the same basis; the reduction of crime, the ebolition of war, the removal of prejudice, the curb- ing of greed, the pursuing of worthy enterprises, all meet with the same limitation—the survival of the cave- man within us. _— Italian Spaghetti.

NoA “When pa gets sick I decide never to be cross with him no more, but it's hard to remember about it after he gets well.” (Copyright. 1928.) Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Will to Believe, The unknown and the unknowable have always excited a keen and persist- ent interest in the rank and file of mankind. In the last analydis there must be very few men and women who are able to divest their imagi- nation completely of supernaturalism, ghostism, mediumship and similar supernatural beliefs. Somewhere in the warp and woof of human nature there must be a genuine native unlearned tendency to believe in unrealities. Turn- ed 1n one direction, this instinct makes for science and all its blessings. Give it the merest twist in another direction and out of it come an avalanche of literature and a flood of lore whose dire results can in nowise be measured. Science and supernaturalism are close relatives under the surface. Sir Oliver Lodge is a good example of their overlapping. Scientific men, as well as the unscientific, are readily deceiv- ed by guesses about the mysteries of nature, Credulity is one product of curiosity. This instinct on the whole, however, tends to lead to science, except dur- ing periods of great human stress and suffering. The World War initiated a host of left-wing movements in the direction of supernaturalism. These were by no means confined to Tennes- see. As the late Mr. Bryan said, “This is a larger scope than John T. Scopes.” The Fox sisters, the first famous American mediums, began their careers in 1848. They tormented their nervous mother by “rapping” on the bedposts. make the mysterious rappings with Then they accidentally learned to their toes. The world made a beaten path to that humble home in Hydes- ville, N. Y. Forty years later one of them publicly exposed the fraud of their long profession. But their follow- ers called her an inebriate whose last words should be discredited. ‘The surviving member of the famous Davenport brothers made a clean breast of his life of deception just before he died. The famous magician, Harry Houdini, spent more than 30 years in sober earnest research into the occult. Finding nothing, he turned scientist and did his best to expose the frauds of manual dexterity and psychological gullibility. But the will to believe still has its way. It demands attention. It gets it. (Copyright. 1928.) MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. Current Events.

Reducing Diet. I am going to give you some con- structive suggestions on eating to re- duce weight. Usually the woman who wants to reduce thinks only of cutting out what she considers fattening foods from her diet. She forgets—or per- haps does not know—that besides counting calories (which gives the fuel value of foods) she should plan to in- clude sufficient proteins, calcium, phos- phorus and iron. In order to get enough proteins an adult should include in her daily diet two glassfuls of whole milk (or one glass of milk and a cube of cheese), one egg and one serving of meat. The milk and egg may be made up into puddings. There are also small amounts of proteins in other foods that make up a well-balanced diet. Calcium, so important to the health of the bones and teeth, is found abundantly in milk and milk products and to a lesser extent in leafy veg- etables and eggs. Among the veg- etables spinach and carrots are rela- tively high in this mineral. Phosphorus is a third important food element which is found largely in meat, eges, milk and legumes. If one has included enough of the protein and calcium foods in one’s diet the phos- phorus will take care of itself. Every one is familiar with the value |of iron in one’s food. Spinach is | highly recommended on account of its iron content. There is also consider- able iron in dried beans. chard, pota- toes, raisins, whole wheat and prunes. It is found in meat, oysters, eggs and milk. The practical conclusions that may bs drawn from the foregoing state- ments is that the reducing diet should not be limited to one or two foods, but should include a variety of fruits and vegetables, milk, meats, whole grain cereal or bread. It should also provide some fat to be used on the bread or in preparing food, and a little sugar. HOLLYWOOD, Calif., November 14.— The first Hollywood studio will open its own private museum, exhibiting souve- nirs of the pictures it has made, cos- tumes of famous actors and actresses and props that have become cinema history. It will be a rival to the one other show place of Hollywood—Harry Crock- er’s museum, on Sunset boulevard. Both reveal hitherto carefully guarded se- crets of the profession. Plaster of paris miniatures, glass slides, all the short cuts of the camera that are of unfailing interest to the un- initiate. But just what is to be done with the museum has not been told. ‘Tourists, not allowed within the sa- cred precincts of the studio buildings, may glimpse this second-hend great- ness for a consideration. Which com- pletes somewhat the movie circle. The old studios in early days of movie- making had a wire screen at one side of the dining rcom, where directors and artists might be seen upon pay- ment of 25 cents. It gave the effect of a zoo, and, sometimes, seized by humor, the observed would 1o0ar like lions, to the horror of the ladies and rentlemen peering from the runway. Perhaps the old-fashioned movie is m;lkk‘mg this gesture in surrender to the talkie. Blue-gray eyes are in favor among cinemaites. Milton Sills, Jack Mul- hall, Thelma Todd, Alice White, Doris Dawson, Loretta Young and Maria Corda are a few of this light-eyed breed. Ken Maynard and Jack Holt might be added from the great out-of- door places. Close_inspection of Billle Dove. C>- rinne Grifith and Dorothy Mackaill reveals that their eyes are hazel. Sally O'Neill has a hazel eye with a note of Colleen Moore has brown eyes. Su Carol’s are wire brown—warm, with a touch of life in them that sparkles like a good vintage. She still wears her hats on the back of her head in a cute and foolishlv characteristic manner. Any one else would look the complete nitwit, but Sue Carol's dewy beauty transcends her indiscretions in the m" - linery line. ‘When it comes to black eyes, Richard Barthelmess, Don Alvarado, Holly O'Day and Lupe Velez hold their own. “Who is that girl?” muttered Holly- wood when a very smart blond came into a popular cafe for luncheon today. Then, with a gasp, it realized it was Lilyan Tashman—the Tashman—in another Winter costume. The Tashman wears her clothes with such a dash and has such excellent taste and feeling for smartness she is seldom taken for a “movie” in her pub- lic appearances; is generally included among visiting New - Yorkers.

And she allowcd no detail of her slen- derness to go unnoted. A red hat of the poke variety was pulled down over her ears. Suede shoes of the same shade made her look like a little ani- mated firecracker.
