WOMAN’S PAGE ° The manner in which clothes are Svorn is as important a factor in their “becomingness as the modishness of their cut or the beauty of the textile from which they are made. There are _women who wear the handsomest of gowns whom one never would describe As smartly dressed, while there are others who wear old frocks as if they ,lm just from some chic French shop. THE SIMPLEST FROCK, WHEN ‘WORN CORRECTLY, CAN BE IM- BUED WITH STYLE. ®rhe latter worthily wins the diseinction of helnx considered well gowned. important matter is to get the m attitude of mind as well as body: lever act as if fine clothes were a novelty. This gives a self-conscious and arrogant manner that is repellant rather than attractive. The handsome raiment is subservient to the haughty carriage which quells admiration of beauty. Wear the clothes with ease and accoustomedness, without slumping posture or arrogant mein, but with erect carriage and ap) t: uncon- Carriage as Important as Raiment BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. n'{"cnt.u other than that they are suit- able. On the other hand, never wear frocks as if they were inferior, however old they may be. Keep the posture good, so that whatever is fine in line may show to advantage. Probably the dress, if an old one, has done good serv- ice, and for that it deserves to be worn with a certain respect. This is, of course, assuming: that it is kept in good repair, even though its presentable con- dition is due to careful mending and patching, brushing and pressing. Never call attention to defects in clothes. There is always a chance that they may have passed unnoticed, and, in any event, they are unavoidable, pro- vided the clothes are really well cared for. No good can come of the disparag- ing remarks. It may be added that many times frocks that are not new are more be- coming, handsomer and even costlier than the latest acquisitions to one's wardrobe. Just because they are not the latest purchase, they are sometimes worn as if they were in the category of old clothes, thereby making them look passe before they really are. WINTERTIME BY D. C. PEATTIE. Each of the four seasons has, it al- ways seems to me, a type of sunset that is peculiarly its own. Spring sun- sets, to me, show skies the color of croaking of frogs and the swinging tune of master robin are inevitably as- soclated in our minds with Sol's bed- time in April. A Summer sunset is an affair of dream-castle clouds, and shafts of sky- finerging light, with all of Nature’s oil nlxbes squeezed out, especially the pur- es. g An October sunset as one sees it through the gold leaves of Rock Creek's tulip trees is generally old gold, and | glittering gold, and ruddy gold together. But in Winter sunsets there is a color that comes but once in the cycle of the seasons—a strange apple green. I know not why it should be peculiar to Win- ter, and I am still more ignorant of how we happen to obtain this elfin and enchanting color at all, for if you will reflect upon it, green is one of the spectral colors of which we see least in sunlight. A rainbow shows us green, and a prism in the window, as well as the aurora borealis. But just as a phenomenon of sunet it is a color rare, enchanting, and, in some measure, un- explained. For myself, I think I love best of all the Winter sunsets. They have about them those sombre crimsons, dark against the line of snow-covered hills, sinister against the tracery of naked trees, which are the essence of a sort of splendid melancholy. And melancholy is the inevitable keynote of a sunset. {Copyright, 1929.) Cream of Spinach Soup.

Peter's sister was not much of a carpenter, but she had worked out a low table which was quite different and which she declared even the amateur could make. It had a star-shaped top, three legs, and that was all. It stood as low as the present modern furniture. The legs were only 8 inches high, so it is plain that it was meant for a low divan, or for a family of dwarfs. There is no reason why it could not be made larger and taller. As Peter's sister explained it, she had a piece of wood which measured 28 inches at its widest part. It could be a circle when the 28 inches would represent the diameter, or it could be square when 28 inches would repre- sent a side, width or length. A five- B pointed star was marked on the board and was then cut out. This represents the top of the table. Three pieces of board, each one 8 inches long and 7 inches wide, were marked off as shown. The width at top is 2 inches, at bottom is 7. Three of these were sawed. They were at- tached to top with screws, which were sunken. The screw tops were puttied over. Two sets of angle irons were at- tached to each neighboring pair of legs, as shown by small crosses in upper {llustzation. All told, six were required. The table was painted with two coats of lacquer in Chinese red and then given a coat of clear shellac. On the table was a small lamp with circular shade of parchment. On the inside were painted small stars of red. THE DAILY HOROSCOPE Friday, February 1.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 31, 199 INAUGURAL PAGEANT From Washington to Hoover. BY ALEXANDER R. GBOIG.I. Through a countryside where steel trains thunder and airplanes and motor cars today roar a tocsin of twentieth century speed George Washington 140 years ago made a seven-day journey over mud roads from Mount Vernon to New York City to become the first President of the United States. It was the wish of Gen. Washington, leaving the beloved seclusion of his estate on the Potomac, to avoid all sem- blance of parade, but the adulation of the people of the young republic made that impossible. Groups of citizens and detachments of militia escorted him the entire distance, and he rode under trjumphal arches into Philadelphia and other cities. The ladies of the period showered him with flowers and rendered, with colonial mod- esty, sonatas to the commander-in- chief of the Continental Army. April 30, 1789, Washington, the Fed- eralist and Virginia gentleman, took the oath of office on the gallery of old Fed- eral Hall in the presence of an “h'n- mense concourse of citizens.” The peo- ple were assembled in Broad slmt. on Manhattan Island, once the bailiwick of the flery Dutch governor, Peter Stuy- vesant, and now the financial center of the world. The New York Daily Advertiser in its issue of May 1, 1789, gives this co- temporary account of the inaugural ceremonies: “At 9 am. the clergy of different dencminations assembled their congre- gations in their respective places of wor- shlp and offered up prayers for the safety of the President. “About 12 oclock the procession moved from the house of the Presi- dent, in Cherry street, through Dock street and Broad to Federal Hall in the following order: Col. Lewis, supported by two officers; Capt. Stokes, with a troop of hofse artillery; Maj. Van Horne; grenadiers under Capt. Horrin, German grenadiers, the infantry of the brigade, Maj. Christie, sheriff; the com- mittee of the Senate, the President and his suite, the committee of representa- tives, Hon. Mr. Jay, Gen. Knox, Chan- cellor Eivingston and several other gen- tlemen of distinction. Then followed a multitude of citizens. “His - excellency was conducted into the hall and in the Senate chamber was introduced to both Houses of Congress. Immediately afterward, accompanied by the two houses, he went into the gal- lery, where he took the oath of office, administered by R. R. Livingston, chancellor of New York. ““The chancellor proclaimed him Pres- ident, there was a discharge of 13 guns and loud., repeated shouts from the crowd. The President bowed to the ;fle and the air again rang with their lamations. inaugural address, The President, President and both houses went to St. t.hemremrncd the venln. fireworks were ex- hibited. Betwixt the fort and Bowling Green stood conspicuous a superb and brilliant painting,in the center of which was -the portrait of the President rm- resented under the emblem'of fortitut The houses of the Spanish and French ministers were illuminated -in - elegant manner.” Becomi! even for politics, John Adams, flery setts Federalist, who was inaugura the second Chief Magistrate ol the United States March 4, 1797. The in- auguration took_place in the chamber of the House of Representatives in Phil- Melshh lams himself, writing to his wife, the cultured and devoted Abagail, who was in, Quincy, Mass., unable to attend the ceremony because of her mother's illness, said: “Your dearest friend never had a more trying day than yesterday. A solemn scene it was indeed, and it was made more affecting by the preunce of the general (W: n), whose countenance was as serene and un- clouded as the day. “In .the chamber was a multitude as great as space could contain, and I scarcely believe a dry eye but Wash- ington’s. Chief Justice Ellsworth ad- ministered the oath and with great energy.”, Adamis, more in sympathy with.the aristocratic Washington and Hamilton than with “Citizen” Jefferson, followed the forms, ceremonies and punctilious etiquette of his predecessor. When the seat of government was removed lrom Philadelphia in 1800 he joumeyeg President was an ordeal t self-assured veteran in horseback, who to the Union Tavern, in. Georgetown. President and Mrs. Adams were the first occupants of the Executive Man- sion, burned by. the British in 1814 and reconstructed as the o) ite House. It was then a “bleak -castle” poorly lighted and heated and a source g.!. ddlscomron and distress to the First y. The Adams tenancy of the Executive Mansion terminated March 4, 1801, the day of Jefferson’s inauguration. En- raged at his failure of re-election, the retiring President . started’in his coach for Massachusetts in the morning, re- fusing to attend the inauguration of his successor. ' 'He lived in retirement at his home in Quincy until his death in 1826 at the age of 90, the longest-lived of our Presidents. He and Jefferson died on the same day. MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE MERRICK. HOLLYWOOD, Calif,, January 31.— Paul Poiret and Maurice Chevaller sat in a Hollywood cafe watching the! beauty parade go by, and they decided that there were more beautiful women in Hollywood than in any other part of the world.

There was a great crowd in the gal- leries. Defying all precedents, it broke Into loud cheers and other demonstra- tions of joy over the result of the vote. The scene was one of the most dra- matic ever witnessed in the House chamber and will doubtless long be re- membered by those present. This is the amendment which was agreed upon by the Republican na- tional convention when President Lin. coln was renominated for the pres! dency last Summer. It is known thal the President used his influence in the House as well as in the convention to have it adopted. The resolution has already passed the Senate. There was no difficulty about it there, but its fate. in the House was considered doubtful. Until a few hours before the vote was taken today it was believed by many persons that the re- sult would be so close.as to be decided “by the toss of a copper.” \ It was known, of course, that a majority. of the House members favored the passage of the resolution, but a question arose concerning the two-thirds necessary to submit ‘a constitutional amendment to the States for.ratifica- that lights well, eyes that movie lke- ton. up renders zlnmin' and deep, that are sallow and uninspiring wlthout the gleam of the silver screen to give them glory. s Movie beauties seldom have the sleek modishness ~which characterizes femininity of great world centers. !ome there are who would do justice to the sartorial traditions of Paris itself; more there are who let color supplant line and cuteness play auhsmute for chie. When you see a lady standing before. a camera with her prune-colored lips, daffodil-yellow face and sometimes grass-green eyelids you realize that the movie is an art all its own; that the people of the theater are mere infants with their rouge and lipstick and kohl; that ‘the fine art of ting out a double chin, painting,in a flmple, glue- ing on the long, insouciant of dewy youth and Iiff nny the delicate dewlaps of encroaching age all developed with the art of films. Movies have made women the world over turn to their mirrors and Mft up their chins. They have roused the competitive spirit in the feminine ele- ment of the world’s population. They have t to Hollywood and the world the camera face. But umy have not got a corner on the beauty of the earth, although they have 99 per cent of the camera kind of beauty here in Cinemaland.

In one issue of a current periodical the ' following advertisements appear: How to obtain kissable lips; how to straighten the nose; how to have shape- ly legs; how to have long eyelashes; how to increase weight; how to reduce; how to win the man you want; how to be popular; how to grow hair on a bald head and how to earn $5,000. There is scarcely a person to whom at least one of these ads should not appeal. “If,"” suggested a wise soul, “we could num euch of these agree- able features how monotonous th e world would be. Pulchritude would be universal and with $5,000 in the bank--oh what a catastrophe for a Iot of fol “A . man's face may be his for- tune or misfortune, but it makes for individuality.
