WOMA Attractive Type of Party Frock BY MARY With a short remnant of white or pastel-toned crepe de chine and some ribbon, the clever mother of a little girl can now make the most attractive sort of party frock. A few seasons ago we felt that little IMPORTED PARTY FROCK FOR A GIRL OF 6 OR 7 IS OF FLESH- COLORED GEORGETTE TRIMMED WITH A RUCHING OF ‘ROSE-COL- ORED RIBBON. girls’ party frocks must show dainty smocking or hand embroidery and we envied other mothers who might buy im- ported frocks for their daughters. Now smocking and fine embroidery are still used—but many of the French frocks for little girls are made distinctive by the clever use of ribbon. N’S PAGE MARSHALL. frock .which the clever young woman can make without a pattern may be simplr finished off at neck and arm- holes, feather-stitched or hemmed round the edge and then adorned with shoul- der bows and ends of ribbons. Some- times there is just one such ribbon ornament, but a more demure effect is obtained by two. Get enough two-inch ribbon to make two ends from shoulders nearly to the knees and enough more for two little bow ends. Cut the ribbon in two and tie th2 pieces into bows—so that the little three-inch loops are two or three inches from the center. This will leave two ends or streamers of uneven length that will hang down the front of the little frock when the loops are attached to the frock at the shoulders. Sometimes quite narrow ribbon is ar- ranged into streamers containing six or eight lengths of ribbon. A tiny rosette of the ribbon 1s placed where the strands are joined and these tassels of ribbon may be attached at the shoulder; or four smaller ones, extending a little below the hips, may be attached to the yoke of the frock a few inches from the neckline. THe sketch shows a little French frock finished wich ribbon ruching which makes the edges of the little basque bodice, finishes the V neckline and pro- vides a slightly flared effect to the lower edge of the skirt. This week's diagram pattern will be useful to you whether you wish to make a smart evening wrap, & lounging robe or a beach wrap. The garment is made entirely from a square of material— which may be made by stitching two lengths of material together. The shape of the wrap is produced by two pairs of snappers, a tie string or two and a Iittle scant shirring. You have no idea how simple it is to make or how smart it is to wear.

Don Candido is really an excellent fellow, but the sort of man one always calls unlucky. His whole life had been spent in an obscure department of the civil service. He knew just about enough to read the newspaper, and to compose, with bad grammar and worse spelling, official correspondence of a routine variety, or make extracts from legal documents. In spite of his own lack of learning, however, Don Candido is ambitious that his sop Thomas should be better and wiser than himself. No effort or sacri- fice would be too great, in Candido’s estimation, to accomplish this high purpose. In fact, Oandido wanted his son to be a great authory Acting upon this idea, he saw to it ¢hat the boy was taught Latin—and French. Candido had a notion that if you knew French you knew everything. There was plenty of learned men, he would say; who knew nothing else be- sides French. In two months Thomas could translate rather badly and read rather imperfectly In the French tongue. I.g‘ézit be known that I am an editor. That is how I came to have contact with Don Candido and his son Thomas. They came to see me in my capacity as a judge of the work of authors. “Mr. Figaro,” said Don Candido, greeting me with great cordiality, “let me present my son Thomas. He knows Latin, Also Prench. You may know, t00, that I am training him for & liter- ary career, so that he may rescue the family name from obscurity. I would die happy, Mr. Figaro, if Thomas could be_famous.” ‘Thomas made so awkward a bow that I had Yeasan to doubt his literary prowess. His appearance and speech were exactly like those of other young men, however. He told me that it was quite true that he was only 14 years of age, and that he knew such and such and so and so. I thought to myself: “The boys of this century seem to reach old age before they are ever young.” My two y{mnfls. father and son, took seats. Don Ca:hdldo gfl:duoed a thick ackage from pocket. % “llfi\'e two objects in making this visit,” he began. “First, Thomas has been making great progress in his French. In fact, he has translated a comedy. Here it is.” “What!” I exclaimed. “Yes, sir, Of course, he left certain passages blank, for he had only’a small dictionary and he could not translate the words he could not find—" “Res?” “Probably you will have the kindness to make any changes or corrections that you may deem necessary,” said Don Candido. ‘“And as you are fa- miliar with the steps necessary to put it on the stage—" * “Oh, you wish to have it produced? “Certainly. You see, the royalties will be for Thomas.” “Yes, sir,” said the boy. “And father has_promised me a dress suit as soon as I finish the tragedy I am working on now.” “Tragedy?” FAMOUS STORIES AN AMBITIOUS SON By JOSE DE LAREA. lemonade. in acts.

With young girls, the act of cropping the mop of hair was not so bad, since a vivacious manner and a sweet face can get along without woman's crowning glory. But when women as well as girls sought the shears and the hair began right with golden locks was not so good with gray. and something had to be done. The bob must not take away from a woman’s beauty, but must leave it as it was, or perhaps improve and enhance it. That has been the problem of the bob. The loss of lovely locks was g serious thing with many women and with others it was almost fatal. Unless a woman was a reformer who didn't care for looks, she shunned the bob as though it were a pest. But there is bobbing and bobbln% The proper caper for the hair-cutter is to make the bob add to and not sub- tract from the beauty of the head. The head? Yes, for it was that which was often lost to coiffure. People knew that a woman had something on the top of her neck and then there was the pretty face, but the father, “that he has also written a “I beg your pardon,” said Thomas, “but whgenyl wrote that I had not read Victor Hugo, nor had I the experience “Yes,” said Don Candido. “We sent it to a man whose specialty is reading plays.

First, the best way to become famous is not to write an; for a long time. Silence is a kind of literary aristocracy. If you follow this advice there will come a day when these words will be on every one’s lips: ‘Don Thomas —he is a wise man, for he says noth- ing.’ After that you can write anything you wish and the public will swallow it whole. “But if you have no desire for fame and wish a short road to publicity, you must do something quite different. Steep yourself in the works of comic writers. Get a new comedy from Paris every week. Worm yourself into the newspaper columns. Write everything as it should be, and make it out that all people are saints.

But remem- ber the rest of my advice, for that is “Yes, sir. A tragedy in 11 scenes. In Paris plays are no longer constructed the road to fame.” DIET AND HEALTH BY LULU HUNT PETERS, M. D. Rolling Is Good Exercise. “I have a little son aged 8 years who the doctor says has a bad appendix that should come out. However, he never complains of a pain there and seems very lively and full of pep. When the doctor pressed on his right side he jumped 2 little, and therefore the doctor said his appendix was affected. He is taking a medicine before meals which the doctor prescribed for him. I don’t want to have him operated on if I can possibly help it. Do you think it ad- visable to take him to another doctor or have an X-ray taken? “My husband is under the impression that a person can never live longer than 15 years at the most after the appendix s taken out, -Will you please advise me there is any truth in this, which he s&ys he read in a reliable magazine.

Mrs. R. is still too fat « What to do? ‘fers a It is utter nonsense, no truth This unequal distribution of fat both- eat many. The only thing to do, besides general reduction, is to take special exercises and mnal&:efor those parts. Good exercises for hips are rolling and kicking and brisk walking with long strides. You have to keep them up for a long time before you begin to see results. I told you of & woman friend of mine who was overfat only around the hips. She took the kicking exercises — kicking back and forth and sideways—twice a day, in re- lays of 100, and in three months she had kicked off three inches. She found that the exercise improved her health. She did not need to diet. Rolling is a splendid exercise. You can do this without becoming dizzy if you don’t keep rolling over and over. Simply lie on your back and roll over until you are on your back again; then go back. In this way you automatically compress and mass: your hips and abdomen. Our exercises for the trunk | muscles will be effective. The trunk muscles are the most neglected muscles in the body, and they should be exer- cised vigorously every day because they | are so vital, Swimming is very good.

Both women feel that they want to move about without any disguises and away go veil and switch, to say nothing of hatpins and hairpins. That is the woman who has sniffed the air of freedom. Artistic bobbing is something to be done by an artist rather than a horse clipper. Care must be taken to observe the contour of a woman's head so that her profile shall be as clear cut as the lines of her frock. We have gotten. away from most of our curves, for the line is the mode nowadays, and it is the head line seen in the bob which is im- portant. A Greek goddess like Venus or Diana looked different from a French or Eng- lish queen, if we may judge by their pictures, and it's the Grecian type that we are imitating today. This means that there must be form as well as face, the. whole head and not merely eyes and lips. A woman who is bobbed may look strange for a while, but she doesn’t have that top-heavy appearance of the dame of olden days. She has a chance to show what sort of woman she is, for handsome is that handsome bobs. The bobbed head has the power to suggest that a woman intends to use her head and not merely wear it for adornment. Goodness knows, it's nec- essary to do that ip holding a job or a husband these days, to say nothing of getting these. ‘When a girl has trim locks under her closely fitting cap and isn't all decked out like an arbor of trailing ar- butus, she’s bound to give the impres- sion that she has something under that hat, something more than hair. Artistic bobbing will bring out the idea that a girl has something more on her mind than a switch and that she has as many ideas as her mother had puffs. (Copyright, 1929.) to fall in all directions, what was all |} view with the old-style |d BY J. Back in the days when Samuel Clem- e s was pursuing the occupation that gave him the name of Mark Twain the Mississippl River steamer on which he was serving as pilot tied up at St. Louis. That night Sam Clemens slept at the home of his married sister, and just as morning came he had a - terrifying dream. He saw his brother, Henry Clemens, a handsome youth of 20, to whom he was deeply devoted, lying dead in the sitting room. His body had been placed in a metallic burial vase, which was supported by two chairs. A bouquet of flowers, all white except for a single red one in the center, rested upon his breast. The dream was so vivid that as Sam Clemens awoke he had all the sensa- tions of actuality. He rose and dressed, so gripped by his experience that he str.ted to go to the living room to gaze once more upon the youth he so much loved. © Something led his steps instead to the street. In the fresh light of day it suddenly dawned upon him that his brother was not dead—that he had only been dreaming. Even then he could not trust his senses. He rushed back to the sitting room. It was empty. He was seized with a great joy. But though he resolutely put the dream out of his mind, it ccme back faintly now and then to trouble him. Henry Clemens also was employed on the Pennsylvania. He was a clerk. It was a great thing for the brothers that they could be together, and they spent many a happy hour when they were off luty. The Pennsylvania steamed south to New Orleans and then turned back to- ward St. Louis. But trouble had arisen. The chief steersman, a man named Brown, had struck Henry Clemens and Sam had given him a severe beating in retaliation. Brown announced that he would leave the boat at New Orleans if Sam remained on it. - Now, the young pilot had had only a year's experience, but Capt. Kline- felter of the Pennsylvania was loyal to him and would have released the ublquitous Brown had not Clemens ad- vised him not to do so. He suggested that Brown be retained until St. Louls was reached, when an experienced BEAUTY CHATS Hints, A reader sends me this German recipe for chilblains and I am passing it along, for often these suggestions are most valuable. She says: “Boil white potatoes with the skins on in plenty of water. Soak the feet in ‘water while it is still warm for half an hour or so, or until the water is cold. Rub briskly with a towel. Two baths in a week cured a bad and long standing case of chilblains and the remedy has helped many others.” By the way, there is that other old- fashioned chilblain cure—have two deep basins of water, one hot, one cold. Dip the feet alternately in them for several minutes, dry, and if the skin feels dry as a result of this constant change of temperature, rub with a lit- tle oil. Speaking from personal expe- rience, the only time I had chilblains was when I was a child. They were very painful and I remember the fami- 1y horror when I was found barefooted in a snow drift, trying to cure the burning ache. I was brought in and my feet soaked in hot water, to pre- vent the cold they were sure I would have. I did not get the cold, and I was cured of chilblains then and there. I was using this old-fashioned cure, though I did not know it. P. Psychic Adventures of - Great Men and Women Dream in Which Mark Twain Foresaw Death of His Brother, Henry* Clemens.

Some foreboding must have seized Sam the night before the Pennsylvania started north. Perhaps it was an echo of his dream. At any rate he took oc- casion to warn Henry Clemens as to what he should do if any disaster be- fell the Pennsylvania, an event not at all unlikely in those days, when boat explosions were common occurrences on the Mississippi. “Don't lose your head,” said Sam. “Rush to the hurricane deck and to the lifeboat and obey the mate's or- ders. -When the boat is launched, help the women and children to get in. Don't get in yourself. The river is only a mile wide and you can swim ashore.” Henry Clemens departed on the Pennsylvania. Two ys later Sam Clemens followed on the A. T. Lacey. * Sam _idled along pleasantly enough until the Lacey reached Greenville, Miss. Then a voice, shouting from the landing, touched his heart with cold. “The Pennsylvania has been ‘blown up just below Memphis and 150 lives have been lost,” said the voice. Conflicting” reparts- followed as the Lacey. steamed north. Sam Clemens heard first that Henry had escaped in- Jjury, and then that he had been badly scalded when four of the Pennsylvania’s eight boilers blew out. At Memphis the latter report proved true. After days of suffering Henry Clem- ens died. A kind-hearted citizen took Sam Clemens in tow, led him to his house and made him go to bed. The young pilot fell into a dazed slumber, from which he did not awaken until many hours had passed. Then he went to_see Henry's body. The coffins provided for all the other victims were of unpainted wood, but the youth and beauty of Menry Clem- ens had struck deep into the hearts of the ladies of Memphis. They had col- lected a fund and bought a metallic case for him. Sam Clemens found him lying just as he had seen him in his dream weeks hefore, except that there was no bouquet on his breast.

They sare unusually at- tractive. They do not require expensive covering, if they are of the New Eng- land type, and they are reminiscent of those days when fumishings were de- signed with a view to taking care of health. 5 This is a side we do not often think of, but the wings on this chair as well as on the settle were put on for the purpose of keeping draughts from the shoulders of the occupants. These were the days when the fireplace was the whole “heating plant” and unless you were fortunate enough to be in the front row, yours was more or less a chilly position, Maple is one of the most pleasing woods of which this chair may be made, although walnut and mahogany are often used. Combined with a maple butterfly table, a lamp made from an old kerosene lamp base, electrified and equipped with a shade of pleated calico, this chair would lend a great deal of charm to the informally furnished liv- ing room. ‘The covering should be permanent (not slip-cover fashion), because of the style of the arms. WINTERTIME BY D. C. PEATTIE. No sooner had I seen the report in the paper that this Winter would be- gin the procession of the Leonids, than I saw from my bed at night two of them in quick succession flash through the sky. Last night I saw four more. I would have seen the stars,anyway, but the newspaper report made me appre- ciate that these were no ordinary shoot- ing stars. The Leonids, in case you may not ‘'remember it, are a thick swarm of meteors, very dense at the middle of the procession, trailing off imperceptibly at the ends, which is traveling around the sun, even as you and I, but in an extremely long ellipse. Ever so often the orbit of our earth passes through the orbit of the meteors, and when any of them strike our atmospheric enve- lope the friction of their gases with' our atmospheric gases sets them on fire. As soon as they pass out of our atmosphere the conflagration subsides, and the “falling star” has vanished. Actually, of course, these are not falling, unless the earth is falling, but merely traveling on their way, like the earth. Also, they are not stars, the correct definition of a star being a sun. And lastly, it is a dreadful error to think that meteors are‘the same as meteorites, I am no astronomer, so I dare not express the precise difference between them, but this practical differ- ence I know—that the meteors, such as , do not fall to earth, and van- ish almost instantly, while a meteorite, if you are ever so lucky as to see one, falls to earth, being heavy enough to feel the earth’s gravitational pull, and is seen as a blazing ball of fire that falls for many minutes. Also the meteorites are erratic and unpredict- able and rare, whilst the meteors travel in known orbits, are rather common, and can be predicted in a general way | in_advance. ‘Thus it is known that the Leonids will reach their height—that is, their greatest frequency in our skies—in 1934, but they are already beginning. They are beyond all doubt the most numer- ous of the swarms of meteors, of which there are several tribes or swarms. A if T am not mistaken, they have the longest orbit, and hence we see them less frequently. Their arrival from the outer space into our ken is to me @ never-ending source of amazement. FEATURES.’ MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE HOLLYWOOD, Calif., January 21.— Hollywood has taken to slogan.. Every office, study, boudoir and studio dressing room bristles with printed theories for making life easier. Mary Pickford's rule of three, promi- nently displayed, is: “There, but for the grace of God, go 1" Perhaps this is one reason for her unfailing sympathy and understanding of fellow men. Doug’s is a bit different. ‘“Nothing succeeds like success” is the idea which governs the quarters sacred to the phil- osopher-athlete. It's a slogan which fits all Hollywood. But it could be amended to “Nothing succeeds but success.” Estelle Tay" r's beautifully embossed sentiment is “Nothing is impossible.” A truly noble sentiment for a lady living in Movieland. + Jack Gilbert has chosen a succinct one: “Tomorrow is another day.” that over on your piano. And Lew Cody's “’ learned about women from her” i3 calculated to pro- voke a laugh. Cody is given to whim- sicalities. He invented the paper label glued to the Scotch glass. It carries the drinker's name, and much waste of good Scotch is obviated, as the bar- tender will refill for each person only his or her own glass. Tom Mix chose “Know thyself” for the stark-white cardboard message over his dressing table. That would have been a great one for Lon Chaney, by the way. Lois Wilson is Hollywood’s lady of beauty, refinement and dignity. She is the typical American girl of quality. So BY JOSEPH Should Children Be Paid? This is one of the many questions that relate more to moral habits and attitudes than to mental ones; yet there is a slice of psychology in it. The question isn't whether the compen- sation motive is good or bad, but when of children, and Mr. Smith and Mr.’ Jones may differ on that quite A much as Mr. Smith may glfler with | Mrs. Smith or Mrs. Smith® with Mr. Jones, and yet all be partly right. There isn't just one answer, certainly no simple “yes” or “no.” On this Wwe may agree, that early in life children should be taught tiie use of money and the value of money. Now the value of money doesn't mean merely telling pennies from dimes, wbut something of the process by which money is earned. It may do for a 6- year-old to think that if you need money you go to a bank and take it; but that won't do for a 10-year-old. It's easier to teach a 10-year-old to keep account of his spending money than to get him to feel what goes in to the “making” of money. Yet you don’t want to make him a money- maker too early or too much so. You don't’ want to make him feel that he won't do anything useful unless he is paid for it. Later on we call that being mercenary” There are always chores to be done and it's hard to get them done; learn- ing to do them is worth while, and pennies and dimes may be earned that way as well as by shoveling snow, which is fun for a little while and be- comes a chore if there's too much of it. Some Mr. Smiths or Mrs. Jonesss hesitate because they want their boys and girls to do these things from ‘a sense of duty rather than hope of re- ward. Another troublesome matter is that some children really need the money; and those who don’t look down on these who do have to earn. A little lager boys or girls who buy their way to favors and pay others to do their chores may become snobbish. Chil- dren who $tt all the money they want by asking for it face the same danger. Sooner or later the child must get a proper sense of the value of money, nncPe one of the indespensible ways of acquiring it is by earning. Yet you don’t want to make children either grasping or money-minded, nor care- less in money matters either. With so many things to tonsider, it's hard to find the middle ground between the too much and the too little. My own inclinations are these: -4 compensation motive should be late rather than early, and Try | d and how to introduce it in the lives| should be made little of rather than stressed in the child’s life. It is more MERRICK. it is quite in keeping that she should have “The groves were God's first tem- ples” as her favorite line, b Lucile Webster Gleason got serious for a moment when she selected “There is a destiny that shapes our ends.” But Jimmie Gleason made up for the defec- tion by putting “Don't be yourself; be an actor,” on his study wall. Johnnie Mack Brown thinks "l.lu%h and the world laughs with you" the ideal idea. He knows his Hollywood— and most likely the rest of the quota- tion also. Dorothy Dwzn lives by “If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?" In my travels and while taking in the printed sentiments of movie folk I finally ran into a lovely one: “Always do what you are afrald to o Bob Armstrong, who came from the New York stage into the studio scram- ble of Hollywood with a story of strug- gle and success behind him, has caught Lady Luck by the hand and carried her right along the way.

More than one movie actor has been taken to the infirmary to be patched up after a Bob Armstrong wallop in & movie fight. He's got a nice house, a cute dog and a great future, and his wife is one of the best looking girls in Hollywood. And she’s not in the movies, either.
