WOMA Neck Scarfs in Attractive Form BY MARY ‘There is something about a necktie, tied in a neat bu.; somewhere under a ‘woman'’s chin, that is usually most at- tractive. It would be as hard to explain what it is about a necktie that so usually adds to the youthful appcarance of a woman who wears it'as it would to explain. what it is about earrings that makes them add a subtle something to the aspect of the one who wears them. If you add to the bow tie.n collar of lace or lawn, the effect is even more Ppleasing. Fas? The fad for wedting long neck scarfs tied under the chin in & bow is sald to have started in Paris, although I have A GRACEFUL VERSION OF THE NEW NECKTIE IS FOUND IN THIS FROCK OF BROWN TRANSPAR- ENT VELVET WITH CREAM LACE COLLAR AND A BROWN SILK TIE. seen several followers of the new fash- fon on this side of the Atlantic. The ecarf chosen is some 10 or 12 inches ‘wide, of soft satin, and long enough to once around the neck and then ie in a large bovw with ends to the waist in front. This arrangement is The Sidewalks N’S PAGE’ THE. EVENING MARSHALL, sometimes used with the tailored cloth Jacket and sometimes under a fur coat. And now that Autuma is practically over and the ideas launched by the | French dressmakers at the midseason displays a month ago have been fairly well assimilated on both side of the Atlantic, certain facts conzerning this seacon’s mode are pretty well assured. No radical change in skirt lengths at present, thank fortune. Waist lines are just a trifie higher in most cases. Fullness and drapery on skirts are laced low. There is the same tendency | g:r everytl to dip somewhat down- ward at the back, hem lines are as irregular as ever, and drapery is stil} spoken of as being animated. Bodices |are just a little more closely draped, | just a trifle farther from the straight, chapcless sacks they were a few years | ago. And now, if you are interested in STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Washington radio “bugs” who listén- ed in to various programs Thursday have only themselves to blame if they failed to get a line on the history of ‘Thanksgiving.

A while ago I made here an extraor- dinary proposal, nothing less than the suggestion that the dental profession relinquish the frade use of the title of “doctor” to medical practitioners exclusively. I anticipated the® ysual misunderstanding, expected some snap- py rejoinders and hoped for a little discussion of an anomalous “situation which I shall refer to latér. It-has ell come to pass. For instance, the ora! hygiene com- mittee of a county dental society offers for publication a leiter beginning thus: “I do not expect’that my letter will effect any change in your attitude that dentists do not deserve the title of tor.” Nevertheless, in. self-respect we believe—" And the letter goes on to present ! some facts, all of which I subscribe ! to, and some claims that are at least| debatable. One of the facts these dentists (my copy of the letter bore no individual's | signature, but was written on the| county dental society stationery) pre- sent is that the dictionary definition of the word doctor is teacher,’ not healer. One of the claims made in the letter is that the dental profession undertakes to teach the laity pre- ventive dentistry, including prophylaxis and-dietetics, and therefore deserves the itle of teacher or doctor. I still havé the temerity to challenge the competence of a good dentist to teach the laity dietetics. But more about that, anon—not anonymously. It is a Kitle embarrassing to attempt to debate #nything with 'a “committee” that chooses to remain impersonal. In any case, I challenge the qualification of a good dentist to prescribe a diet for BRADY, M. D. and commendation of my teachings, from dentists and from dental socle- ties, if I really take the attitude this particular group of dentists imputes to me. Many of my dentist friends have re- minded me that the present course of study in dental schools of the better class is practically identical with that in_medical schools of the better class. I had no serious notion that the dentists would give up their claim on the title of “doctor” when I launched this preposterous proposal. My motive was more subtle than that. I wanted to stimulate discussion, and I am happy |to “have evidence that I have accom- | plished something in that direction. | If the undergraduate dental schools provide virtually the same course of instruction as the undergraduate medi- ical student must take, what excuse can there be for maintaining separate un- dergraduate dental schools? Are these superfluous institutions run merely to appease the vanity and provide prestige jand diversion for the teachers they emblov? In this letter from the county dental society’s oral hyglene committee there is another good, but debatable argu- ment, namely, that surely the man who doctors periodontoclasts is a healer, and | certainly the man who treats Vincent’s angina is a healer. Actually, as I have tried to show, 'every dentist who en- gages in active practice of dentistry is exercising .all the rights and assuming !all the responsibilities of a real medi- ! cal practioner. Is it not time to waive these idle ar- guments and agree that a complete un- dergraduate medical course is necessary and desirable for any man who would elect to practice the medical or surgl- cal speclalty khown as dentistry? The dentist has every right to the title of “doctor.” Yet his position is anoma- &nybody. It seems strange that I should have on file so many letters of indorsement lous—he is practically in the medical profession but not of it.

The Pages and Millers had been to the theater. Afterward they discussed a night club but Nancy begged them to come home instead. She sald she had a new dish she wanted them to try and besides she was a bit worried over the baby and wanted to be sure he was sleeping. So home they went. As they stepped into the dining room they saw the- electric chafing dish and the percolator assembled on the dining room table. Over on the buffet were dishes of rosy apples, Winter grapes, kumquats and tangerines. Individual baby jelly cake rolls dusted with pow- dered sugar were close beside an Ital- ian pottery bowl filled with a compote of figs cooked with bits of candied gin- ger and lemon peel. A small bowl held whipped cream. At the table were the Nancy’s new dish. She had f¢ of 8e, firm tomatoes which she hollowed, dusted with salt and. pepper but left unpeeled. She melted butter in the chafing dish and sauted some peeled fresh mushrooms. To these she added a small amount of cream. She covered them and let them simmer and steam for five minutes. She filled the toma- toes with mushrooms and set them in oven. Then she made a cheese sauce using one-quarter pound mild Ameri- can or “store” cheese. When it was melted she added one-half cup heavy { cream and one-quarter cup soft bread crumbs. This was blended over hot water in lower part chafing dish and seasoned to taste. It was then poured over the tomatoes which had baked for 10 minutes. With this she passed crisp . toast fingers. | toShe misht have had other cake Write Nancy.

Benefic aspects will dominate tomor- row, after the early morning hours, which are unfavorable. Under this direction of the stars the churches should benefit. Many moot points that have brought out discussion in various denominations should be settled before the new year has ad- vanced very.far. It should be‘an auspicious day for the clergy, who will find congregations responsive and helpful. ‘There is a sign read as warning that caution in eating should be exercised while this configuration prevails. Many colds and maladies attributable to damp, cold weather are prognosti- cated for the Winter. Florida, Cuba and the Far West will benefit from unusual Winter travel, it is prophesied. Labor should profit from conditions that will develop within the next few weeks, if the stars are rightly inter- preted. Neptune is in a place supposed to encourage rise of wages and improve- ment in industrial conditions. ‘While Ameriea prospers, many parts of Europe and China will suffer fron perils of war and gloomy commercial aspects, it is foretold. Again astrologers foretell a great calamity of some sort which will cause loss of life on the continent.

JDEAR MISS DIX: Iam a young married woman with three children. We are well-to-do and have. every comfort in life, but somehow after these years of great love between my husband and myself we are beginning to be alienated from each other. Something intangible has come between us. Our marriage was very romantic. We fell in love at sight and eloped, but now our love seems to have fallen asleep. Is there anything we can do? Neither of us would break up our home. We realize children are a responsibility, and that they need a home and education which we can only give them together. A WIFE. Answer: Perhaps you expect too much of love. You cannot keep up to the high tension of ymm‘ passion forever. Romance is bound to fray out around the edges, and get drab and faded and colorless in the course of time. That is life. I think it is a great pity that women have this insatiable npf:me for thrills, and that they expect their husbands to go on making romantic love to them as long as they live, and that they feel grievously ill-used when the \:gslerngme?ltul creatures fall to come up with their daily dosen assurances of e} levotion. This is at the bottom of nine-tenths of the complaints that wives have against their husbands. They don't charge the men to Whom they are married with being cruel or abusive or stingy or grouchy or unfaithful. On’the contrary, they admit that their husbands are kind and generous and moral and good providers, but they wall out that they are neglected, that their husbands have ’cne’:::gb'fg love them and that marriage is a failure, and that they are perfectly ‘The whole trouble is that with the men matrimony has just settled down to normalcy. They don't see any more sense in swearing that they still love the woman they spend their lives tolling to support and indulge in luxuries than they would in going around announcing publicly that they were honest. ‘They think their actions speak for them more convincingly than words would do, but the wives pine for words, and there you are. 1t is the law of nature that we get accustomed to our blessings and come to take them without any especial display of gratitude. We accept money that way. What were once luxuries soon become necessities. We take love that way, and the affection over which we once palpitated we soon come to feel is no more than we have a right to expect, and so when a man ceases to tell his wite every day that he adores her and considers her the most wonderful creature on earth, it is no indication that his affection has waned. She has just merely become & :g;to{t his life, a part of his good fortune that he enjoys without thinking So I think you are foolish to worry about your love for your h his for you, waning because you are no longer as romantic ‘y: you '3&:":" ?n .trll:g days of courtship. You are just settling down into the placid affection that is better and more enduring than passion. Be content with this. Don't vivisect your own heart nor your husband’s heart too much. Don't keep r finger always on the pulse of your affections. Love thrives best when you 't watch it too closely. o DOROTHY DIX. EAR MISS DIX: I am a lad just beginning to step out among the 1s. Of course, I take in all the parties and dances and I find it v:ry m‘yfi‘w say pretty things to every new Jane. Do you think that a young fellow should be governed by a sense of honor, or that the girl sh to consider that what is said is worth veery!xrnuscl:);“d e mwumneom e . . Answer: I think any girl should have sense enough not to regard seriously any sort of talk from a man that doe: AT s not end up with a bona fide proposal When a youth tells a maiden th: that there is someth! Thereby a pleasant time is had by one.and all, for there is no woman wh does not love to be flattered and there is no man who h: with women who does not enjoy exhibiting it. b s e The trouble is, Emmet, that a lot of girls have so much vanit; believe everything of a complimentary nature that a man l:;ly a'“cfi'e‘:.’. Particularly they believe that every man they encounter falls for their charms. and this makes it dangerous to jolly a girl, who may think that you are proposmé marriage to her when you are merely trying to make pleasant conversation. Many a man has found himself engaged to a young woman who put own interpretation upon his words, and so this makes it fdvisnble for ym!xJ ‘:mth :; go around making indiscriminate love. This is a pity, because it cramps the style of many an embryo Romeo, and prevents many a maiden from having even one hour of love-making in the moonlight to remember. .

EAR MISS DIX: Can a man of middle age who has always gloried in le D blessedness and lndeJ:endenoe. and who has firmly decided that h:m:m never marry, remain fixed in his determination to remain a bachelor after he has fallen in love? This man tells a girl he loves her and shows it in every possible way except by marrying her, although he is amply able to marry. If this man really loved the girl, don't you think he would want to mmm her? INIA N. ‘Aniswer: He certainly would. When love knocks at the door, all previous objections to matrimony out of the window, and & man shamelessly recants his views on the subject. % Single blessedness and bachelor quart@s look to the man who cares for no one but himself, but the minute he really falls in love he wants & home with the one woman in'it, and he wonders how he could ever have endured the DOROTHY DIX, loneliness and barrenness of his former estate.

C. PEATTIE. As all those who study botany know, our standard guides and manuals do excellently well on plants in flower. If these books are not as clear, untech- nical, interesting and well illustrated as they ought to be, they are, if you ' |are willing to study, pretty good for' Summer, Spring and Autumn. ‘What the world of nature really waits for now is a book of Winter botany. Burroughs said the real wildness of the wildwoods came out in Winter. A tree in full leaf is dazzling; from its million- faceted surfaces light dances and glances. Even one tree is too complex to study completely to know its secret. How much less can we discover sbout a forest of trees! Somebody with the technical knowledge, the skillful camera lens and the ability to describe nature with a saving touch of elegance should do us a study. It need not be ambi- tious; it ought, indeed, to be limited— but it should be thorough for the area 1t covers, be that only a mile square. A man in Rhode Island once studied the plants of *a mile square so inten- sively that he was able to add several new species to the list of his State. The same amount of work on any other mile square ought.to be as fruitful. But it is not {: species to a list that I care so much about. What I would like to read is the lore, the log, i the diary, the blue book of some bit of ground in the District for one Winter. It is a challenge to any naturalist. He should with camera studies and perfect word pictures teach us all the trees by their bark, their twigs, their Win':r buds and their outlines. He should give us a calendar of the Winter birds, the year-around resident birds’ activities, and the departure and arrival of the Summer birds. - He should show us the brook in 20 camera studies and -word vignettes from the time in Autumn it be?lm to bear tulip-tree leaves away till the ice is a thin sheet across it, and on until Spring unchains it. The book of Winter remains to be written. MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. “Vegetable Market.” One mother says: My children ffl much enjoyment from a simple little game - they call “Vegetable Market.” I keep a supply of colored sheets of tissue paper on hand, and they cut these to resemble various vegetables such as lettuce, cut from light green paper and crinkled on the edges; carrots and beets, made of orange or red paper, rolled and twisted and fringed at the top, etc. They ar- range these paper vegetables on top of a box in the nursery and play mar- ket, using cardboard money.

What | creams should I use to cure a* nose? (3) I have a light pink and white skin with freckles.. How €an I curé them? KAY. Answer—(1) Hangnails are due to careless manicure methods. The euticle at the base of the nails becomes: ragged when it is forced down while dry. To avoid this you must be sure to soak and brush your nails with warm, soapy water for a few minutes before pressing down the cuticle gently with the blunt end of your orangewood stick. Cut off the rough pleces of skin with manicure scissors and be careful not to cause any more hangnails. Rub a little salve | on the cuticle and leave it on over | night. (2) There are astringent van- | ishing creams on the market that would | not make your :kin oily. Befqre apply- | ing your powder base wipe the.skin with a clean piece of absorbent cotton moist- ened in witch hazel or other astringent lotion. I do not recommend any par- ticular brands of ereams. (3) I doubt tirely free from freckles in Summertime and perhaps some will remain all year. You can, however, bleach them to a lighter shade by the regular use of freckle creams or lotions. A bleaching pack that you may use once a week is made of one tablespoonful cornmeal, two tablespoonfuls stearate of zinc, one tablespoonful lemon juice and enough buttermilk to mecke a smooth paste. After cleansing the skin thoroughly, spread oa the bleaching pack and leave it on for an hour, keeping it moist with buttermilk. Wash it off in tepid water, dry and pat on a skin lotion. LOIS LEEDS. . Gray Streaked Hair. Dear Miss Leeds. (1) I have dark brown hair with a gray streak in it that looks terrible. I am only 16 years old, 5 feet 6 inches tall and weigh 115 pounds. Shall I dye my hair? (2) What style of clothes should I wear? - SUZANNA. Answer—(1) If the streak is not very large you may color it with a special stick of coloring matter, similar to an eyebrow pencil, that is sold for this pur~ pose. Since you are so young it may ture graying by building up your health and stimulatin~ the scalp with massage. You are about 10 pounds under weight. If you are a nervous type, the m’lylnfi may be due in part to worry and m strain. I would not advise dyeing your Buster Bear Is Stung. Who gets in mischief has to pay; Youwll find thers is no_other way. —Buster Bear Buster Bear knew that that pig he had stolen had helonged to one of those two-legged creatures, who were the oniy creatures he feared. So, having suc- cessfully stolen the pig and eaten it, Buster should have taken himself off. This he had started to do, but his memory of that delicious feast quite stead of traveling away for good, he had gone a little distance, then turned around and started back. His excuse to himself was that he had had such a good bed under a certain windfall that hs wanted to go back there for another nap. It was two days after Thanksgiving before Buster Bear became real hungry again. During that time it wasn't so hard to keep away from the flgpen on that little farm on the back side of the temptation to try for another pig, but until he became really hungry again it was comparatively easy not to yield to that temptation, . It was, however; a very different mat- ter when there whs no longer food in his stomach and{when he was con- sclous eyery. minutp of the time that he was hungry. Then he couldn’t think of anything but pig. - So the third night, as soon as it was dark, Buster Bear was the edge of the woods, looking to- ward that pen where the deleciable pigs were. The longer he looked the more he wanted one of them. It was the hardest thing in the world not to rush right over thers and grab one. But Buster did have a little bit of Somed and. waited. ks waite wa to be whispering to him all the time. It seemed to be whispering “Pig, A pig! I want pig!” Finally Buster looked up at the sky. Not so much as one little star was to be seen. It was a dark night and it was going to re- main dark. After a while it began to rain. Buster saw the light in the farm- house go. out. He waited just a little longer. 'Then, more slowly than ever before, he stole toward that pigpen back | of the barn. At almost every step he would stop to test the little night breezes- with his ncse and to listen for any suspicious sound. All went well Free Yourself First. | Before you can help a child, any child, much, you must first free your- self. I mean that unless you are riding | on your spirit, unless you have control | of your own body and mind, you can- not help any child to the free use and control of his. | Suppose it is the baby of about a | year. Creeping about, he gets under- | foot, he pulls things down, he cries at inopportune times. Worst of all, he de- velops a habit of pounding things. Again and again you take the thin; out of his hand, put something else into it and start him again. In a few moments he is pounding again. Can you take a long, free breath, can you feel your body sway with the | grace and strength of a young birch | tree? Can you say In the back of your | mind, “This is a baby learning to feel his arms and legs working. He needs to have that feeling just now in order that he may walk and talk and use his hands and his feet and all the rest of him. I am to help without | checking him uselessly or harmfully.” If there is any tension in your body or your mind, if you feel that your neck is stiff (remember what the Bible says about the stiff necked?), if your back is rigid, if your jaws are elenched, | gog't attempt to correct or help the aby. > Wait a moment. Adjust yourself.

BURGESS until Buster ‘was almost to the pen. Then a wandering little night breeze brought him the faintest of scents. But it was enough. It was enough to send lttle cold chills all over Buster. They chased each other up and down his backbone. That was the man scent! Buster whirled ‘around and started for the woods on a gallop. As he did so something stung him on his lefs shoulder. It stung and hurt and in- stantly after came the bang of a terrible gun. My, how Buster ran! Never in all his life had he run faster. Again the gun banged! But this time there TQ BE WHISPERING "PIG.QP'IG, PIG!” - was no sting. Great big Buster Bear was almost whimpering as he plunged in among the trees. He had forgotten all about pigs. He had only one thought then, and that was to get as far as possible from that two-legged creature with that terrible gun. Now, of course, the source of all Buster’s fright and pain was the farmer who owned the pigs. This was the third night that he had sat up waiting for Buster to appear. He had n _sure that that Bear would return for another ig. The other nights had #n maon- . He -could have seen Wicely . for shooting had Buster appesfed then. But this night Buster was m‘y & lit- tle bit of deeper blackness in ¥he gen- eral blackness. Tt was a wonder he had hit Buster at all. OUR CHILDREN By Angelo Patri Get hold of some thought that relaxes the tension. ‘Tense people ‘harm children. A | tense mind and body in the room with a child cause fear in the child, instinc- tive fear, and the child’s body tense: You cannot teach a tense child any thing. To attempt it is to waste your energy and his. Wait until he and you are at ease with the energy flowing free. Then there wiM be an open chan- nel of communication between you and each can hear what the other says. Only when there fs ease between you can you help a child. ‘There is to be no anger in your heart, no fear in your soul. Only a feeling of power and peace. This 15 a- counsel of perfection, that is true. We cannot acquire merit in a day, nor a year. But we can work toward it. You will be quite an old. man or woman before you have grown the spirit that is filled with power and knows peace. But then, what of it? You did not expect to be quite done with living.or with growing when you -became a teacher or a parent? You expected to live and learn and grow with this child? So daily you strive to free yoursell from tenseness, from rigidity, from fear, and fill yourself with hope and faith and cleave to your high 'purpases. Steadily day by day we free our- selyes in freeing the children whom we serve. And that is what we should b> doing. (Copyright. 1928.)
