WOMAN'S PAGE.' Decorating Rooms to Save Work BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Y The decorating of a house may be| much that a great deal of energy is| needed to k?rr it in order, or it may be so carefully planned that house- work is simplified. The home-maker who does her own work should give these phases of interior decoration much thought. Unless she does, she may find herself swamped with work.! On the other hand, if she does pay | them enough attention, she may be| able to have the desired amount of | time for many outside activities that| she would enjoy end know that they are not encroaching on her home| duties. There are certain things that can| be arranged to decrease care without eliminating the articles altogether.| There are ways of Substituting one va- riety of article requiring much care by others, equally good. that take far less work to tend. And there is a group of things that can be eliminated, or at least put aside for special occasions and not be in: constant evidence, thereby diminishing their care. For example, books are a delight in 8 home. They serve as backgrounds in decoration, and as friends for spare hours. They may be a great care or mot, according t o the way they are ted. If they are on open shelves, 'y need constant dusting, as do the shelves themselves, If they are behind glass doors they are equally handy, but are protected. They require al- most no dusting and re-arranging. Ef: The Daily Cros ficiency is stressed and housework re- lieved. Silver dressing table accessories re- quire constant cleaning to keep them bright and shining. Instead of choos- ing them, therefore, pick out ivory, which is equally de luxe, and which takes but a fraction of the time needed to keep silver polished. Silver for the dining room is not so easily dispensed with, but it is possible to reduce the number of pieces to those in constant use. The other pieces will require polishing before using. but -not the weekly care. Flat silver can be washed dally in hot suds to which a little washing soda is added. and be rubbed dry with a towel of outing or, domet flannel. Then it will not require fre- quent polishing. Brasses take a good deal of time and enargy to keep shining unless they are lacquered. If they are so treated they take no more time to care for than any other ware. Few ornaments and fine ones are preferable to many that are mediocre, and with few to go over the time of dusting is diminished. Vacuum clean- ers clean dustlessly, and without the rooms having to be upset. They save hours each week. : ‘The competent housewife who wishes simplified but adequate homemaking should go over her rooms and see in what way she can reduce the work of caring for them.

Benefic aspects will conflict with ad- verse stars tomorrow, according to astrology, but kindly influences domi- nate. This is a fairly fortunate planetary government for the churches, although doctrinal controversies will be frequent through the year. Ministers may find it difficult for congregations to fix attention on ser- mons, for there will be a tendency for minds to contemplate personal affairs. Many fine church edifices are to be built in the United States, it is fore- cast, and beautiful cathedrals will rise as_evidence of religious interest. While this is an auspicious sway for construetive thought and the working out of important plans, it is wise not to write what one thinks. Letters are subject to rather an un- favorable direction of the stars, and love missives may be unusually perilous to send. It is not a lucky day to travel by airplane or to take any risks in trans- portation. ‘Those who desire to make the most of this planetary government should concentrate on friendly visits and im- portant, conferences. Although the stars give assurance that the year will be prospercus and extremely eventful, there will be much cheating and double-dealing, it is fore- cast. Corruption and vice will continue to flourish, although there may be much agitation about the punishment of evil- doers. Many cities are subject to a planetary government making for graft and the growth of power on the part of crimi- nal classes. Persons whose birth date it is may | meet with disillusionment and disap- pointments in the coming® year. Care should be taken to avoid all unde- sirable acquaintances. Business affairs should be satisfactory. Children born on that day may be extraordinarily talented. Many artistic persons are born_on this Capricorn- Aquarius cusp. Both boys and girls | have the augury of success and even fame. Literature is one of the most fortunate channels of expression. MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN, For a Pleasant Journey.

Today in Washington ‘History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. January 19, 1869.—This morning a delegation came to President-elect Grant's headquarters, on Seventeenth street, and extended an urgent invita- tion to him to go to Baltimore Thurs- day and meet the people of that city. ‘The delegation represented the Balti- more City Councils, and was headed by Henry Duval, president of the first branch, and James Webb, president of the second branch. Gen. Grant told them that he felt under many obliga- tions to the people of Baltimore, but that he could not promise to hold a public reception, or even to meet the members of the councils on that day. He would be glad to accept the invi- tation, the President-elect said, except for’ the fact that he had other engage- ments on that day. However, he ex- plained that he was going to Baltimore as a trustee of the Peabody Educational Fund Thursday, and after he arrived and discovered what arrangements had been made for his entertainment by the other trustees he might be able to meet the people of Baltimore. He antici- pated that the meeting of the trustees would be finished by Friday evening and that he might be able to accept the gracious invitation Saturday morn- ing. A committee representing the Col- ored National Convention called on President-elect Grant at 10 o'clock this morning at his headquarters and de- livered an address to him, to which the general responded. Later the com- mittee called on Speaker Colfax of the House of Representatives. President Andrew Johnson, answer- ing & resolution recently adopted by the Senate, today declared that the authority on which he based his procla- mation of amnesty was the Constitution of tHe United States, the second section of which provides that the President “shall have power to grant pardons and reprieves for offenses against the United States, except in cases of im- peachment.” He cited precedents by President Washington, President Madi- son and President Lincoln to ald in establishing his point Representative Kelley of Pennsyl- vania read statistics in the House to- day showing that since 1860, when skilled workmen were “glad to work for 50 to 60 cents a day,” the wages of the working classes in cities the Nation have been steadily climbingd upward. | want anything, or take DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Wise Way Is Both to Save and to Spend—Can This Young Man Escape His Fate?—Why a Man Can’t Say “Im Sorry.” EAR MISS DIX: I married a man whom I loved madly and still do.

To sacrifice to the limit was a joy for his sake, and he always told me how easy he would make life for me when he succeeded. Well, he has succeeded. He has been making good money for some years, but he expects me to live almost as cheaply as we did when we were so poor and had to pinch so hard. T have reasoned with him to no avail. T think we ought to spend more, as life is short enough at best, but he thinks we ought to live as cheaply as possible. His ambition is to lay up for -the future, but I think we ought to have some pleasure since we can afford it now, and yet save a quarter of our income. A SCOTCHMAN'S WIFE. Answer: You are right and your husband is dead wrong. Thrift is one of the virtues that can be easily turned into a vice, and that is what he is doing. He is developing the miser spirit, and that is not only unfair and unjust in its | effect on you, but it will harden his own soul so that there will be nothing left in him that is lovable. . ‘There seems to be no other one thing in which it is more difficult to achieve the happy medium than in the use of money. Nearly every one is either too extravagant or too penurious. Nearly every hand either throws money away or holds 1t in a death grip, 1t is only the few who possess the art of spending money wisely and well. Indisputably it is the first duty of every man and worhan to save enough of their income to make an umbrelia for the rainy day that is sure to come to us all, and to lay up enough to make them independent in their old age. Not to do this is to bring down misfortune upon their own heads, for none are so forlorn and miserable as the down-and-outers, and the old who have to depend upon the charity of their friends. Also it is as dishonest as any other hoid-up, for somebody has to provide for those who would not provide for themselves. Somebody has to feed and clothe and house those who have spent their own money in riotous living. Therefore, it is the bounden duty of every one to put apart a certain per cent of their income to safeguard their future, but it is Just as much a duty to spend the balance of their income on making life easier and pleasanter for themselves and their families, It is folly to deny oneself every pressnt pleasure in the expectation that years hence one will have one's fling, yet we see people doing that continually. We see people living in miserable houses without a comfort or a luxury, or even a deccnf bed to lie on, because they are piling up th build a palace some time in the lunyx i e b We see people denying themselves the little trip that the: would 1l take, and that might actually save their lives, becullx,u they nl'y! saving 5; g take a tour around the world when they are old.

But many of us every day are doing this same sort of cowardly thing. Every time we run away from any duty we repeat Jonah's stupid cow- ardice.

NANCY PAGE Stew for Dinner May Be Deliciously Good BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. The Page famlly were going to have a dish of old-fashioned Irish stew. Nancy had ordered three pounds of lamb cut from the fore quarter. She asked the butcher to cut it into three- Inch cubes When these came home {she rinsed them quickly in cold water and then put them into a large sauce- pan with enough boiling water to cover i the meat. She turned down the fire and let the meat boil slowly for about two hours. - At the end of that time it was quite tender when tried with a fork. Sometimes the stew required two and a half or three hours cooking, it depended somewhat upon the amount of vegetables she put in with the meat. These vegetables are added after the meat has cooked an hour. Naney took two carrots, one medium sized turnip and one onion. She peeled these and cut them into inch cubes. She added two teaspoons salt, a tea- spoon table sauce and a shake or two of pepper. A half hour before the meal was to be served she added four pota- toes cut into cubes. Five minutes be- fore she was ready to serve she stirred up one-fourth cup flour with one-half cup cold water and put this into the hot stew to thicken the gravy. This cooked for five minutes. In serving the stew she put the meat in the center of the dish and poured the vegetables and gravy over it. A few sprigs of parsley went on top. Peter liked this stew either with or without dumplings. With a simple meat course one may be more elaborate in salads.

FEATURES. MILADY B Costuming the Thin Girl. Dear Miss Leeds: I am tall for my age and look much taller because I am thin. I am unable to gain weight, although I have tried. I wuold like to know what kind of clothes to wear to make me look fatter and shorter. Will long hair make me look shorter? What can I do for hairy arms and legs? ‘WORRIED. Answer—If you are below the aver- age weight for your age and height and cannot seem to gain, you should ask a doctor’s advice. It is not healthy for a young girl to be too slim. As to clothes, you may wear broad-brimmed hats to make you seem shorter. Wear two-piece effects in dresses, with skirt and blouse of different colors or shades. Wear pleats, flares, godets, circular skirts, shirring and smocking to give fullness to your figure. Your sport coat may have a broad belt. Wear horizontal bands of trimming and tiers of flounces. The bolero effect is good. The bouffant skirt is becoming. Long hair, colled low at the nape of your neck will be more becoming than the shingle bob that accetuates your long, thin neck. The hairs on your limbs imay be bleached with peroxide or re- moved from time to time with & de- pllatory. LOIS LEEDS. The Blonde’s Problem. Dear Miss Leeds: (1) What kind of shampoo is best for blond hair? What shades of rouge and lipstick are suit- able for blondes? Are the bleaching creams sold in the stores safe to use for freckles? (2) I am 15 years old. 5 feet 4 inches tall and weigh 113 pounds My measurements are: Bust, 32; walst, 28; hips, 36; thigh, 20 calf, 13; ankle, 9; wrist. 6; neck, 12. Are these correct? BLUE-EYED LILY. Answer—(1) Any pure white soap may be used for the shampoo, but I prefer castile for this purpose. It must be shaved and melted in hot water before being used. There are a great many shades and degrees of biond- ness, but in general light rose is a suitable rouge. Some blondes look well with orange rouge. You are too young to begin using artificial color on cheeks and lips. As you have often heard, blondes fade early and the fading process is hastened by beginning to use rouge too soon. It coarsens and withers delicate, fair skins. Strive for natural roses in your cheeks. If you get a reliable brand of skin bleach it will not harm you. Note the condition of your Nearly every fashionable young bride wears a vell on her head and takes it for granted that her attendants should also have some sort of head covering.

I bumped into Mrs. Bob Armstrong in a green and tan checked Spring suit, green shoes, green hosiery and a green leather and felt hat. Very pour le sport.

Now hold all, for she carried a square of verte green chiffon some 20 inches across. In Hollywood these days you just must hankie in a great big way.

A lot of people, supposed to be deep thinkers, flew to the conclusion during the late war that the women surged to the front because the fortunes of the race were at stake. They argued that the female was biologicaily older than the male; that at critical times the female asserted her ancient prerogatives and started in to save civilization, to! preserve the race. Women, they sald, were famous fighters. This is a sort of intellectual foxfire— a spurious combination of thought ele- ments that h:ve no character except me and excitement. nlNaW what are the facts?
