WOMAN’S PAGE.," THE .EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, FRIDAY, Kindness and Home Happiness BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. In the new year upon which we have ust entered, the home maker will find erself leading a happier existence if she tries to learn proper values in homemaking and in family relations. CONSIDER THE HAPPY EVENTS WHEN “MULLING OVER" THE GOOD TIMES AFTERWARD. S0 many annoyances that loom as giants are really only pygmies, looked at through the magnifying glasses of distracted vision, of personal griev- ances, of hurt pride or some other My Neighbor Says: Plant a few lily of the valley tips in cocoa fiber in a bowl and set in the dark for a week. If taken into the light at the end of this time they will bloom in a few weeks. Hang_ plctures with copper wire. It dves not rust and will wear for years. If milk is warmed before being | | added to eggs when making cus- tards they will be firm when baked. Drying wet boots over a register often spoils them. Heat causes the leather to crack. To distorting lenses. These make the an- noying incidents stand out with moun=- tainous proportions that quite over- power and minimize the good that les about them. Turn the opera glasses the othe~ way around. Get the diminishing vision, which brings out perspective. Mulling over events is one thing that ruins values. For example, some social function passes off well with the ex- ception of one incident that was bothersome, yet that one thing may be permitted to nettle a person until all | the other good things are swallowed |up in the trouble. The pleasure of | the event is dispelled, vet it really was | the major part. Vaiues are wrong. | If one must mull over things learn to [ dwell on the pleasant not the un- | pleasant part. | A woman is sometimes inclined to feel that the man of the house takes things too lightly -when it comes to domestic annoyances. If he is a man of large business affairs Le has learned | in the hard school of experience that | there are troubles that must be skim- med or one may be sunk in them with- | out anything being gained. His poise, | that seems almost maddeninz to the woman, is part of his business asset and lies in quickly discovering wheth~r the | matter is vital or really insignificant. ! "He has no time for it unless it is im- | portant, for a brain that -is crowded with vital matters cannot afford to waste on little things the energy | needed for big things. Women suc- cessful in business find that such con- | servation of mental energy and of | | time is imperacive. The home maker who has op- | portunity to dwell on trifies will soon | find herself frittering away her time |and her energy. if she permits hersell |to do this. Molehills if insignificant | | annovances become mountains of | | trouble. This mushroom growth hides the real and substantial peaks of hap- | piness that should stand out clear and | bright. By focusing her mind on the things of genuine merit, slight annoyances soon assume their correct pronortions, and then they actually dwindle until they are no longer visible. Happincss lies in large measure in seeing life through the glasses of kindliness. The ability to perceive correct values is part of the secret, and a big part. (Copyright, 1929 A Sermon for Today BY REV. JOHN R. GUNN, Can We Keep Boom Going? Text: “Righteousness exalteth nation."—Prov. xiv.34. “A country that can earn 20 billions a year more than it needs to live can keep a boom going,” writes an editor. But can we? Prosperity has done a good deal for America. It has brought us untold wealth. But let us not forget, as President Coolidge reminds us in one of his recent addresses, that “his- tory is littered with stories of nations destroyed by their own wealth.” To keep our prosperity boom going we shall need something more than a surplus of 20 billions a year. Let it be remembered that such prosperity as we are e1,oying in America puts a tremen- dous strain upon the moral and spirit- ual resources of our people. If the progress of a nation is to be stable and perpetual, it must be found- ed upon righteousness. And we should not forget that religion is the mother of righteousness, Without religion so- ciety would soon return to barbarism, and the law of righteousness would be supplanted by the law of the jungle. Let the churches fail for lack of support, let the voice of the preacher prevent this and keep them soft, rub grease into them. The Daily Cross Word Puzzle (Copyright, 1929.) . Trite. .

No one knows | what they are, how many there are, or whei- they derive their power. These statements will describe the actual sit- uation for the scientist as well as for { the layman. If anything, the scientist probably knows less about them than | does the layman, for the scientist stands aghast at his own classifications. The emotional part of human nature is indeed the “no man's land” of psycholo- | gy, at least in an academic sense. 1 In all probability there is an indefi- nite number of emotions. One might say that we all experience a new one every time we confront a new and pers plexing situation. The reason for this is simple: The primary emotions (to use scientific term) get mixed up in countless ways. For instance, admira- tion plus fear will give you a feeling of awe. And awe plus a dash of grati- tude will create a feeling of reverence. Reproach and scorn in about equal emounts will express themselves as in- dignation. Envy plus jealousy will arouse anger at first and then a desire to seek revenge. Another mighty factor in trying to run down the emotions has to do with what is _known as “individual differ- ences.” The idiot has no real emotions. And it is quite likely that some normal people are able to repress the bigger part of their emotional nature. This helps them to solve temporary bother- some problems, but it finally destroys the individual on the one hand and impoverishes society on the other. The emotions demand an outlet. The big problem in education of all sorts is to create safe outlets for them. The indefiniteness of the whole range of emotional experience compared with its tremendous telling effects consti- tutes the biggest paradox of psycholo- gy as a sclence. That's why there are s0o many theories concerning the origin of the emotions. No doubt the best theory is an evolu- tion theory. Briefly stated, it is this: The emotions are vestigial remains of ancient ways for getting along in a world where matters had to be settled on the spot without delay. These ways of the mind were settled into habits, and then handed on through countless generations to us as matters of pure inheritance. (Copyright. 1929.) Lessons in English BY W. L. GORDON.

BY THE COUNSELLOR. The Furniture Manufacturing Co., one of the creditors of the Front Rug Store, which had gone into bankruptcy, filed a petition in the United States Court asking that it be allowed to re- cover rugs sold to the rug store six months prior to the bankruptey. The company proved that the bank- rupt was rated $100,000 net in commer- cial reports, when as a matter of fact, it was insolvent at the time. The statement, it showed, was fraudulent, and prepared for the purpose of obtain- ing the rugs. . The trustee objected, contending that the company was merely an oOr¢ creditor, and to permit it to remove the dends which the estate would yield. The court, however, granted the peti- tion, stating: of the bankrupt, the seller may rescind the contract of sale and reclaim them if he can identify them in the hands of the trustee. This is on the theory that fraud renders all contracts voldable, and neither in law nor in morals would the trustee be justified in holding goods obtained by the fraud of the bankrupt for the benefit of other creditors.

He is intelligent and carries a peppy line of conversation. He is a go-getter and the girl who marries him will have plenty of butter on her bread, to say nothing of caviar, but when it came to marching to the altar with him I couldn’t risk the grade.” “What was the matter with him,” I inquired. “Oh, he laughed at the wrong things,” returned the girl. “The things that touched me to tears moved him to mirth. He would laugh his head off at anything that was tender and full of sentiment. We used to go to the theater together a lot, and he would give a loud guffaw at the scenes that were simply depicting the naked souls of men and women at some crucial hour in their lives. “I couldn't stand that. The end came after we had been to see -.dpuy in which a poor drab of the street, whose baby has died, goes to a shop and steals a fine litile dress, although she knows she will be caught and punished as a shoplifter, because she cannot bear for the wretched little creature, who has had nothing in life, not. to be as well dressed as the other baby ls. My boy friend simply roared over that egll.;‘ode, and that evening was the auspicious time he took to ask me to marry 3 “If he had proposed to me before we went to the theater, I should have sald ‘Yes and thank you, too,’ but he waited until we got home, and I turned him down good and hard. He asked why? I replled that it was because he laughed at the woman in the play and her dead baby, and he said he didn’t see what that had to do with us, and I said it had everything to do with us, and he finally went away thanking heaven that he had escaped marrying a crazy woman. “I didn't want to marry a man who would only see something ridiculous in any act that wasn’t logical and sensible, for I knew there would bée many times when I would be guided by my heart instead of my head. I didn't want to marry a man who would make a mock of holy things, and who would make a joke out of the things that were the most sacred to me. I didn't want to marry & man who could never understand the impulses that move a woman. I didn't want to marry a man without fineness of perception and without sympathy, and that is the sort of a man who llux:m ln ghe.mnl places. - my way of thinking,” the young woman went on, “there is no better way of judging people than by the things they laugh at. They can school themselves to say the correct things. The lowbrow can learn the patter of the highbrow. Hypocrites can as saints. The mean and stingy can make the grand gesture of generosity. “I know women who neglect their own children, who simply overflow with noble maternal sentiments when they speak before mothers’' clubs. I know lots of people who are just as careful always to express the popular sentiment of the day as they are to wear the latest style in clothes. * “So you can't always tell what manner of men and women they are by their speech, but you can get a close-up of their souls by noting the thing that amuses them. Their laughs are a dead give-away, “Look at the people who are simply convulsed with laughter when some- body falls down and gets hurt, or a poor man ruins a shit of clothes that he has gone hungry to pay for by sitting down on a freshly painted bench. Watch the people who laugh at a cripple, or a deformed person, or who find it killingly funny to see a decrepit, deaf old man or woman painfully trying to hear what is said. Observe the people whose wit is like a two-edged sword, that stabs to the very heart of some weakness or pecullarity of its victim. “There are plenty of people who never think that anything is amusing that does not bring pain or humiliation to some one else. They gever l‘ll;lnh‘ wlt‘h you. They always laugh at you. Beware of them. They have not an atom of human kindness in them. They are cruel.

THE DAILY HOROSCOPE Saturday, January 5. Astrologers read in tomorrow’s horo- scope good and bad aspects. in which the malefic forces seem to dominate. Women may be variable, exacting and difficult under this sway, which makes for domestic unhappiness. ‘They should watch their steps. Decelt and double-dealing are sup- posed to be encouraged under this planetary government, and it is well for girls to cultivate truth. Astrologers predict that radical changes in women's dress will assure profit to modistes, manufacturers and merchants. They declare that extreme modes will decree for girls a form of the divided skirt or trousers. Occultists prognosticate reactionary influences that will be preceded by styles accenting many modern vagaries. All that is distinctly feminine will again be popular. Under this direction of the stars, weddings should be especially fortunate tomorrow, presaging prosperity as well as _long devotion. ‘There is a sign read as promising success to women who seek wealthy or at least prosperous husbands. The sway s one that should make eligible bachelors particularly wary. It is a lucky day for bestowing gifts, and belated Christmas presents should be extraordinarily welcome on that ac- count. Those who seek position under this planetary government should be suc- cessful in finding what is best for them. Again warning is given that epi- demics will mark the Winter, which will continue severe in many parts of the country. Pulmonary diseases will multiply under this positing of the stars, it is foretold. The aged should be careful, for under the new order of things, this year is to be noted for mortality that removes the last of the old leaders in the arts, politics and business, Persons whose birth date it is have the augury of a fairly fortunate year in financial affairs. They have the menace of fire, and should avoid dis- sensions of every sort. Children born on that day may be impulsive and difficult to handle. These subjects of Capricorn may be quick to contract dislikes, and should be taught not to antagonize any one. They prob- ably will have more than average in- telligence and varied talents. (Copyright. 1929.) MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILD Plan Study Hour. One Mother Says— ‘When children are sitting around the library table deep in lessons for the next day, it is time for mother to peer over little shoulders and help save time. Maybe little sister is spending too much time on the theme she is so eager to have perfect, and maybe broth- er is so good in arithmetic that having already worked the assigned problems he is at work on the extra ten that the teacher has told the class to solve if there were time. How about his his- tory and Latin? Help the children to plan their work. Clear away the easi- est tasks first. Sece that all references are found and class questions answered. Then put a fair amount of time on each lesson left. (Copyright, 1920.)

Blue in New Color Combinations If there are any shades or nuances of blue left unexploited after this sea- son it won't be the fault of the dress- makers or milliners. It will be be- cause the dyers of fabrics haven't pro- duced them. Blues are legion. Navy blue is still as smart as ever— with every chance of becoming more popular as tke season advances. One of the French dressmakers combines navy blue with Nattier blue effectively, though at the moment the smartest affinity for navy blue is yellow, which was launched simultaneously last Au- tumn by Worth and Jenny. Grayed blues are still in good repute. Porce- lain ‘blue and china blue appear in the new collections of clothes for Win- ter resort wear. Bright red is frequently used to give vividness to dark blue and quite the newest combination is navy blue and chartreuse. Chartreuse is perhaps the most talked about of the new shades—not of course that there is anything really new in this greenish yellow tone sug- gested by the famous French liqueur. Brown and chartreuse are combined in costumes for resort wear, and decidedly smart is a new evening gown of char- treuse trimmed with purple. No chance that tones of the red range will be soon out of favor. To be sure, the brighter reds were especially popular during the Christmas holidays, but they will doubtless continue in favor for some time to come. Rose is espe- cially well liked and is used in combi- nation with black and white in some of the new things. Jenny of Paris uses flame color and flesh with good effect for evening, Shrimp is still smart and so is geranium. Among other shades spoken of nowa- days wherever new clothes are dis- cussed are “dusty” pink for evening, golf red, African brown, a new reddish orange—sometimes combined effectively with yellow, tomato red, bottle green, brass, banana yellow, oyster white and sulphur, which is likely to be important as the season advances. Some of the new V-necked blouses and frocks sre finished with a collar the ends of which form loops that hang down in the front. If you would like to know how to make these collars which you may apply to an old blouse to give it a new aspect, please, ask us to send Beauty Culture. ‘There are many things about the profession of beauty culture that appeal to the girl who wishes to enter a busi- ness career and to the mature woman who finds herself compelled to seek a means of livelihood. After having the necessary training, a beauty operator may open her own shop or she may take a position in an- other person’s shop; she may develop her own clientele, going to the homes of her patrons to give treatments and thus saving rent, or she may prepare a room in her own home for the pur- . She may obtain a position in a sanitarium and find patrons among its patients. It has been found that beauty treatments often assist in the recovery of sufferers from nervous or mental dis- orders. Still another possibility for a graduate of a good beauty school is teaching. Readers of this column often ask me where training for beauty work may be obtained. The teaching of this subject is still in the hands of commercial organizations, and is not found in the curri-ulum of Government schools or | colleges, bul I think the time is not far off when {t will be chtainable in all vocational schools for girls. In the larger cities there are beauty schools where one may receive instruction in the particular methods advocated by the commercial organization that sup- ports the school. Another way to learn to be a cosmetician is to become an apprentice in a beauty shop. The full beauty course includes treat- ment for the face and scalp, manicur- ing, hand massage, hairdressing, dyeing, ! curling methods and the use of elec- tricity for cosmetic purposes. Some girls prefer to be specialists in a single branch, such as manicuring or per- manent waving, either of which may be a profitable profession in itself. Sham- nooing and marcel or water waving make a good combination for the who does not care to take the full course. As in every fleld of work, there are many who take the training, but not all of them have the necessary tempera- erful / A 2 ment or point of view to make a real success.

She is tactful and courteous, as well as efficient in her work. The patron quickly serises the mental attitude of the operator, so that if the Ilatter is mnervous or irritable or is thinking of getting moucy rather than giving service, she will soon find herself with- out customers.
