WOMAN'S PAGE’ Sleeves to Be More Picturesque BY MARY ‘The original mousquetaire sleeve was very much like the one that has come into fashion this season. It was a straight, long sleeve that fell into grace- ful wrinkles between elbows and hands only when it was worn. The mousque- taire sleeves that were worn in the 90s | and again 10 or 15 years ago wert mounted on linings and made with shirrings that held the ripples in place. It was way back the middle ages that women—and men, too—frst wore these gracefully rippled sleeves. ‘The sleeves then were made long be- cause gloves were practically unknown and on cool days the ends were simply drawn down over the hands to give pro- tection. There was virtue in this ne- cessity and soon the rippled sleeve came to be admired apart from its usefulness. Sleeves, I am assured, are to be more ornate, more picturesque, more intri- cate. There has been a strong tend- ency in Paris lately to increase the BLACK CHIFFON VELVET AFTER- NOON FROCK IS WORN WITH BLACK VELVET HAT AND WHITE FOX FUR.

You may be sorry to learn that the new frocks call for more material than those that have been in fashion and that there is good reason to believe that increase in material will continue. For my part I am really glad. It may make frocks and wraps more ex- ’:nslve, and to offset that we may have have fewer of them.

Parsnips Deserve More Attention Parsnips are deserving of more atten- tion; they are inexpensive; are good all Winter and may be used in several ways to make very appetizing dishes.

They may also be | boiled, mashed as potatoes are, then cooled, made into flat cakes and fried or baked. Parsnip chowder is a good old- fashioned, hearty luncheon dish. It is made by melting two tablespoons of fat, adding a large sliced onion, three cups of diced parsnips, one cuo of diced potatoes and a quart of boiling water. Boil slowly for an hour, add one quart of milk, season with salt and pepper, thicken with three tablespoons of flour and serve very hot. MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19. 1938 [ The STYLE POST is the marker on the road to being smart High Hat. “High hat” is no longer merely a slang expression. It has entered the fashion world with purely a literal meaning and a maximum of smartness. It means that there is a definite trend for higher crowns. An mnverted tuck in the top of the crown gives the additional inch or so to the Reboux model above. Sometimes height is added by a pompon or a bow, or even a diadem effect of ths material of the hat set straight across its top. (Copyright, 1928.) NANCY PAGE Little Children Appreciate Good Things. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. One of the things which Nancy be- lieved in most heartily was the building up of backgrounds for children.

She had a real love for rhythm, whether it expressed itself in the lilt of words, the rise and fall of music or of bodily motions. That being the case, it was fairiy easy to decide on some of the gifts for Joan. Uncle Peter selected some musical records and some childhood story rec- ords. He found a cunning little music box which tinkled the “Blue Danube” and “London Bridge Is Falling Down" and “Cherry Ripe.” He bought a book ‘of fairy tales written by one of the master fairy tale tellers. And then, because Aunt Nancy had told him how she had adored little things when she was a child, he sent for some afthentic coples of colonial furniture made in miniature. “They were good in line and in construction and gave Joan a feeling for beauty and rhythm in wood. He could hardly wait to see her eyes spar- kle and her feet dance when she found these gifts on Christmas morning. Even as a_tiny tot Joan learned how to set her tiny table correctly.

Most men turn the rearing of their girls en- tirely over to their wives, on the mistaken assumption that this is a task for which the mother is peculiarly fitted because they are both of the same sex. | This is a mistake. What the girl-child needs is not an overdose of rem-‘ ininity, but to have some of her feminine peculiarities corrected by masculine in- 1 fluence. Just as a boy needs the refining and softening influence of his vmaLher, | 50 the girl needs the hardening and broadening influence of her father. The boy needs his mother to teach him delicacy of perception, tenderness and sympathy. The girl needs her father to teach her to control her emotions and to use her head instcad of her heart. WHEN you see a woman who can take a broad, impersonal view of subjects; who has a high sense of honor, and who has had the courage to meet the misfortunes of life with a smile and somehow struggled through them, instead of succumbing to them and becoming an incarnate bundle of tears and whines | and hysterics, you will invariably find that her father made a companion of her in her childhood. He bred into her the strength that enabled her to stand on her own feet and be the captain of her soul. e . A father owes it to his daughter to help her make a good marriage. A woman's whole happiness and well-being in life depend upon the kind of a husband she gets, yet the average man leaves this vital matter entirely to chance. He doesn't know by sight the men his daughter plays around with, nor whether they are desirable or undesirable as husbands. H Now it is forever too late ta interfere and forbid a girl to marry a man after she has fallen in love with him, but the modern girl is no fool. She does not deliberately pick out for a husband a man who will beat her, or starve her, or drag her down into the gutter with him, and if father is on his job he can, nine times out of ten, save daughter from making the match that breaks her heart and lands her in the divorce court. For men are better judges of men than any girl can possibly be. They can find out all about a man as no girl can, and father could break off many an incipient love affair by contriving that daughter should see some handsome young drunkard in his cups, maudlin drunk and disgusting, or he could dissipate the romantic halo that surrounded a picturesque loafer by showing her that he was a contemptible male parasite who let his poor old mother work to support him. Certainly every father defaults on his obligations to his daughter when he doesn’t keep tabs on every man who comes to the house and let his daughter know just exactly what sort of a chap he is, and what the men who know him think about him. Every father owes it to his daughter to have her taught some sort of trade by which she can earn her own living. Very few men can settle a fortune upon their daughters that will insure them against want as long as they live. Be- sides, money has wings. No man in these days can depend upon his daughters’ marrying, or if they do marry, upon t! marrying men who are go-getters, or upon their husbands’ not dying nn.d l.eavlng.them ‘widows. . THE most pitiful creature on earth is the middle-aged woman, accustomed to luxury all of her life, who is suddenly thrown out upon the world to earn her own living, and perhaps the living of a houseful of children. She is utterly untrained, utterly incompetent; there is nothing on earth she knows how to do well enough to make any one want to pay her good money for doing it. She is helpless, desperate, miserable beyond all other women, No man has a right to risk this fate for his daughter, and it is his bounden duty to see to it that she has that skill within herself, which cannot be taken ;g;s Rer, that will enable her to earn her own bread and butter in case of Y.

Not every man means to cheat his wife out of her inheritance, but many good hus- bands, with best intentions, are poor business men. In fact, the less a man knows about business, the more sure he is that if he had his wife's money to put into his store, or to speculate with, he coul‘d make a killing, and after the money is gone it doesn’t matter whether the woman was deliberately cheated out of it or it was lost through incompetency. A’ wife cannot well refuse to help her husband by turning over her money to him, and it is a father’s duty to save her and save her money by arranging it so that she gets only the income and cannot touch the principal, (Copyright, 1928.)

(Copyright, 1928.) MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. Attractive Gifts. Electricity and Beauty. Readers of this column have been asking questions about the value of violet ray treatments, and so I am go- ing to say a few words today on some of the common uses of electricity in beauty culture, The violet ray machines are being sold to the general public as well as to beauty operators, so that the field of the professional cosmetician when I discuss this subjeet. The average patron lof the beauty shops may never have occasion to take electrical treatments. Many operators do not attempt to give these treatments, but confine themselves to manicures, shampoos, hair-curling and massages, yet there are cases in which the stimu- lating effect of electric currents is very helpful. Of course the patron must be sure that the operator is thoroughly fa- to use it for the best results. around cosmetician. It is excellent for stimulating the scalp when the b: is seanty and inclined to fall omt in patches. It is also used in facial treat- ments and for removing certain blem- ishes like moles and warts. Any one who plans to use the violet ray machine should, in my opinion, first take lessons from an experienced teacher in order to learn the fine points in its manage- ment. For example, it is important to know that scalp tonics or skin lotions containing tar or mich aleohol shoukl not be applied just before the violet ray is administered, as they may ignite. Such preparations may be used after- ward, however. The beauty operator makes use of two other types of electricity. Argument Against Saving. One of the best arguments we have heard against saving later rather than now is the fact that later we will have to save two, three, or four times as much. Every other working woman with whom one counselor has talked was of ths opinion that she could save best later in life when she was making more money. It is forgotten that as one’s earning power increases so do one's desires in- crease, and one likes to live up to the new income. Small sums saved regularly from the beginning will achieve a much larger total than larger sums saved later, when the time between one's activity and re- tirement has been narrowed. It has been estimated, for example, that if a woman wished to save and ac- cumulate $40,000 at the age of 60 it would require beginning at the age of 21 a saving of about $20 a month. If the same woman began at 40 years of age to accumulate a like sum, she would have to save over $80 a month. ‘There can be little doubt as to which is easier. It is sometimes argued by impatient ‘women that saving is no way to become wealthy.

FINEST ~ QUALITY For Christmas MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. my readers have doubtless had massage 'treatments when one pole of the ma- chine was held by the patron and the_ other was attached to the wrist of the operator, the current g through bbom persons. Scalp treatments are also given with a metal brush with suitable electrical connections. Perhaps the most familiar use of elec- |ftricity in beauty culture is in the re- moval of superfluous hairs with the H electric mneedle. Sometimes a single needle is used and at other times a multiple needle. Various blemishes. such as ‘warts, moles, small dilated veins and little wens may be removed with the electric needle in the hands of an expert. Some birthmarks may be re- moved by this method, but the dark red “port wine” marks require more dras- tic treatment. When there are abnormal growths to | be removed, it is wiser to have a physi= \cian perform the operation than to in- ‘trust it to a non-medical operator.

There are quicker ways make money . . . the stock market, lotteries, and the like . . .. but each of these is also a way to lose money, and ose it_quickly. ‘To business women we would offer his “tip”: Accumulate a thousand or wo thousand dollars in the bank, and you will be amazed and elated at the feeling of confidence and independence it confers. Add regularly to it, and you will be subsequently gratified to find yourself dependent on neither employer nor salary.’ Once freed of immediate needs, you are free to soar.

Eva von Berne, whose story has been told in these columns, was the first little German girl to get the international round trip ‘free of charge, thanks to an inspiration on the part of Norma Shearer and her hus- band, Irving Thalberg. Eva was finessed into one role, oppo- site John Gilbert, at that. Then was sent back to Germany to learn to speak English. At least that was the official explanation of her return to the mother country. An informal council of war, which in- cluded a group of prominent Hollywood foreigners, was concluded the other night without much sunshine being shed on the future by even the most en- thusiastic Hungarian, German, Swedish and Czech “Pollyannas” present, ‘The forelgn problem is being met by talkie experts in this wise: If you are a great artist—an Emil Jannings or a Baclanova—stories are being written in which your characterization calls for the particular type of accent you hap- pen to possess.

A friend who has a reputation for al- ways being prepared for company told me of a hasty dinner she had to serve a short time ago, when she had expect~ ed to enjoy the luxury of an evening by herself with one of the “best sellers.” Instead, a group of guests, three in number, dropped in from out of town with the remark that they had no hesi- tation in coming to her in such an un- expected fashion, because they knew she was “always ready for . At this particular time it happened that she had to do some quick thinking i order to maintain that reputation, for it was one of those days when the ice box held only a few sad remnants of past meals and there seemed nothing on hand that could be used to serve four people. However, closer examination of the ice box disclosed a small dish of spine ach, a few spoonfuls of creamed oysters left from the night before, a head of lettuce and some fryit. The spinach was immediately put on to reheat with a sliced onion and a pin of boiling water, and eventually turned into a cream of spinach soup that was served in boulllon cups and sprinkled with paprika.
