WOMAN"S" Pinks Hold P)acg of Importance BY MARY MARSHALL. Certain shades that enjoy for a time the reputation for decided smartness | owe their success not to the fact that they. are generally becoming, but to the fact that they generally are not. Every so often mustard color comes into. favor—and if ever there was a color calculated to be trying to the skin tones of 99 women out of 100 it is mustard. And yet when mustard is in fashion it carries with it that inde- finable something that we call smart- ness. Puchsia is a blend of rose and violet that seldom shows off the com- plexion to good advantagc—and yet most of us remember when it en- Joyed a phenomenal run of favor. And now there is chartreuse—very smart av resent—likely to be run to the ground efore the year Is out—but by no stretch of the imagination becoming to most women. The light -shades of red that we call pink—usually with just a suggestion of yellow or of mauve in their compo- sition—are unusually becoming. For every type of coloring several really bacoming tones of pink may be found without difficulty. And yet among con- servative, well dressed women pinks hold a place of importance at the pres- ent time. In the shops where wiothes for South- ern resort wear are displayed you may see a predominance of yellows and green:, greenish yellows and yellowish chosen by a great many of the bes: dresse ! women pini—of one sort or another—still holds a place of honor. It is sometimes indicative ¢~ ~eally good taste to chooss a color that is obvi- ously becoming. From a little narrow white or crcam lace and 2 few inches of pastel-colored ribbon you may make the most attrac- tive decorations for a little girl's fro: If you are planning any children's s ing this late Winter or in the Sprirg, I am sure you will appreciate this week’s circular, as it describes how to mal this lace and ribbon trimming.

EXEMPLIFYING THE PRESENT VOGUE FOR SHADES OF PINK AMONG WELL DRESSED WOMEN, THIS WOOLEN SUIT IN ROSE, WITH CREPE DE CHINE BLOUSE IN SAME SHADE, IS INTEREST- ING. MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE MERRICK. HOLLYWOOD, Calif., February 4.— There cre two standards of success in filmdom. They represeat financial poaks, arrived at in the colony, and they ere symbolized by the ermine cloak and the foreign-made car. The cloak comes fizst. There are a food many firms here which specialize in expensive cars with expensive-look- ing chauffeurs that mcy bz rented (ex- pensively) for one evening. Of course, we are leaving the lady who rents an ermine cloak—at $50 the evenipg—out bt this consideration. She inipresses only the outlanders, The inner circle always know if your ermine hangs on your shelf or in the cold storage in its off hours. At Corinne Griffith’s first biz pic- ture of this season the ermine was on rieck to a woman. Ask any little Arctic hnimal what he thinks of a Hollywood star and his answer wi'l be a cold shrug, providing his shoulder muscles are still his own. Last night Theda Bara, who once ticdained anything more ingenuous than n tiger skin and feverish spangles, ‘epped from her limousine in white thiffon gemmed with ‘rhinestones, and with a wrap of the royal pelts white fi;flhfln snow, which hung to her very eels. Then the announcer bawled “Louise PDrcsser!” and the famous blond who 13 proving that the screzn survives oc- cacional spurts of real acting stepped into the limelight decked out like a Christmas fairy in white chiffon, with | an amazing silver cloak trimmed with bands of ermine and a huge ermine collar. A few palely-tinted creatures inter- vened and.then came another roar frem the broadcaster. This time it was “Pauline Starke!” and she looked just like the white sugar ‘lady on top of the wedding cake, with her hand laid confidingly in the dapper little white sugar man’s hand. As the man in back of me remarked, “Dere soitin’ly is a lot of oimon about tonight!” * Dere soitingly was. Pauline Starke wzs_ pelted all diegonally and intri- cately and extravagantly. Her white satin frock swept the sidewalk in back of her. Her gardenias seemed stripped of their greens and looked like flowers carved out of snow on that cazzling ensemble. Corinne Griffith, who has a patrician individuality all her own and who sur- vives many of the tradilions of the colony, arrived in flesh pink velvet, with & great wrap of chinchilla fur. And now, knowing my village, I can safely say that many a jaundiced eye fell on that oft-mentioned ermine as it was hung away, and more than one harassed movie executive was told that only chinchilla will exempify material cuccess this season.

WASHI THE DAILY HOROSCOPE. - Tuesday, February 5. Contending planetary influences will mark tomorrow, according to astrology, which finds benefic aspects strongly opposing the malefic sway. It is a time for extending or develop- ing one’s business or professional activi- ties, for the stars are believed to im- part foresight and far vision. Many new fortunes will be built up in the new year, which is to be marked iby enterprises more stupendous than {any in commercial history. American capital is greatly to benefit England and other foreign - countries through the establishment of branch industries, it is forecast. Under this direction of the stars it is possible .to make a fine impression by sincerity and directness. The rule fa- vors personal contacts in soclal and business affairs. ‘While it is a day to delay any asso- ciation with captains of industry or so- cin' T~aders who may scem helpful to in -al aspirations, it is an 1 cic. . . me to push one’s own proje Merchants ~ and manufacturers are well directed and should reap large profits, even at a time when “bargains” are prevalent. ‘Women should a‘tend strictly to do- mestic affalts or to routine employment while this configuration continues. Shopping is subject to favorable in- fluences and should engross attention. Thz theater continues under adverse !sway, making for many changes and much experiment affecting the stage as well as the screen. Writers, especially poets, should take vacations at this time, which is not for- tunate for creative work. Persons whose birth date it is may have a year that tests patience. Friends will multiply and business should be satisfactory. Fire may cause loss. Children born on that day probably will be of marked individuality. These subjects of Aquarius usually are deter- mined and cour~geous. They progress rapidly and find many doors open to them. They must be careful in marry- ing, for many are unlucky in choosing the right mates. Dwight L. Moody, evangelist, was born on this date, 1837. Among others who claimed this as a birth date was Jamcs Otis, statesman, 1725. (Copyrigit, 1929.) AUNT HET BY ROBERT QUILLEN. “My old black taffeta is good enough to be buried in.

FEBRUARY ‘4, 1929.° SUB ROSA BY MIML [ Fashionable Folk | L___ by dulia» Boyd Butterfly Heart Beats. Science is wonderful, so they say, and now science has established the fact that a butterfly has a better heart than a man. Well, there are plenty of bugs which have better hearts than those of some men I know. But that isn't just the point. The point is that the frail little crea- ture, which does little more than paint the air with the beauty of its iridescent wings, has a heart which beats in both directions. Man's heart is a single- track, one-way affair, and-that's how the butterfly beats him in the game of hearts. You can say the same of women whose hearts are more efficient and encrgetic than those of men. Women may lack some of man’s physical power, although our girl channel swimmers | may drive us to a different conclusion. ‘Women may not have quite the brain power of the heads under the derbies, although there is some question about that, too. But when it comes to the | business of the heart, woman is right there with a cardiac apparatus which can beat both ways at the same time 2 la butterfly. Every woman is a Mme. | Butterfly with the double-action heart. The heart of man is a little more than a pump which supplies his organ- ism with blogd and gives him a glow of satisfaction now and then. It is a heart which works in only one direction, which is toward the man himself. It is a one-way street, with the arrow pointing right to the man himself. ‘Woman has a heart for herself, of | course, but she has enough heart energy to supply happiness for another person. She does this by means of spiritual blood transfusion. She keeps up her courage and supplies pep for as many people as may be depending upon her for help. ‘We don't know where the fragile but- terfly learned its heart tricks, but we know that a life of unselfishness has shown woman how to make her heart work like a good rule—both ways. You can't deny the beauty of the butterfly, and maybe it's the heart of the little creature which gives color and aerial loveliness to its wings. You needn’t think that the heauty of Mme. Butterfly is merely a matter of cosmetics, for there are some things which the drug store can't supply. The beauty of the woman butterfly comes from her heart. That's what puts the light in her eyes and the color in her cheeks. It's only recently that the butterfly heart was discovered. How long will it be before man discovers the heart of his Mme, Butterfly? (Copyright, 1929.) SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y. CORY. | | Says They Wont All Fun and No Bother. o [Doroth yDix Should Ur-lerstand They Can’t Have Their Cake and Eat It, Thus Avoiding Mental and Moral Tndigestion. ’I“HE trouble with women is that they want to eat their cake and have it, too. Sometimes men can accomplish this gastronomic feat, but women—never! ‘With them it must always be a decision between two things, and whichever one they choose they generally wish they had taken the other. And, anyway, they are not satisfied with one. They crave both. Take, as an example of this, the matter of men’s attitude toward women. For years and years women fought for equal rights with men. They demanded the right to run for office against men and beat them if they could. They demanded the right to compete with men in business. They demanded the right to go everywhere that men went, to do everything men did, and to stand on the same platform with men. Finally, as a result of a 50 years' war, they won the right to be treated as men, but are they content with their victory? I am telling you they are not. They howl to heaven that chivalry is dead, and that they have to stand in street cars, and fight their own way in crowds, and that when they got the right to earn their own bread and butter their fathers and brothers, and sometimes their husbands, stood back and let them do it. This wasn’t what they meant nor what they wanted. Not by a jugful. They desired the privileges of a man annexed to the perquisites of a woman. They wanted a place in the counting room, but it was to be also a drawing room, where men would pick up their handkerchiefs and make them flowery speeches, and not expect them to punch the time clock, and deliver a good job of work, and submit to discipline just as if they wore trousers instead of skirts. I was feelin’ terrible sorry fer a feller I seed on the street, wif two wooden legs; but I bet he laughs when he finks ob how he don't hab to wear ober- shoes. (Copyright, 1929.) MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. Every woman who works wants the pay of a man, but there are mighty few of them who want to be treated as a man anywhere except at the cashier’s window. They cannot help feeling that they should not have to work as hard as a man, and that they should not be expected to be as accurate as a man, nor | to be bawled out as a man would be if he made mistakes, and that they are entitled to stay at home if they have been out too late at a party the night before. In a word, they want thefir.rlg_ht.s. nn‘d their privileges, too. | ST]LL another example of women wanting to have their cake and eat it, too, we see illustrated in those hopeful souls who try to hold on to a husband with one hand and a career with the other. The country is full of ambitious and talented young women who have spent years fitting themselves for some particular line of work in which they delight, and in which they are winning success, But a profession, no natter how interesting and congenial it may be, no more fills every need of = woman's life than it does a man’s. She longs for human contacts. She }:.ins to love and be loved. She desires her own home, her own man, her own children. Now a man may have these as an annex to his other blessings. He does not have to decide whethet he will go on with his profession or get married. He can do both. More than that, a wife and children are not a handicap to him. They are an inspiration, a help. They incite him to put forth his best efforts and make the most of every power that he possesses. 3 Taste for Poetry.

Now that she is older she has developed a great love for pootry. She is making a scrapbook of newspaper and magazine verse, with special pages of verse suitable for Sma'l Brother.

When she marries she has to decide which one of her two professions she is going to make a success. No woman can keep the home fires burning properly, no woman can mold the characters of her children, and form their manners and their morals if she is away from home all day practicing medicine, or law, or if she is careering around the country singing, or acting, or lecturing. No woman can toil all day in a store or office and give her interest, her enthusiasm, her energy to her job, and have anything left except nerves, and weariness, and temper for her family when she comes home at night.

While Prank Shields was walking across the street he was struck by an automobile and painfully injured. Shields contended the accident was the driver’s ;&ulz; the driver claimed it was Shields’ ault. ul Notwithstanding the driver's attitude, , he was willing to compensate Shields for his injuries, and he later made him an offer of $300. Shields refused this amount and demanded $1,000. When the latter sum was not forthcoming Shields filed suit. At the trial Shields, in order to strengthen his case, endeavored to show that the driver had practically admitted that the accident was his fault by offer- ing $300 in settlement.

The rest escapes up the chim- | ney. Often it has been found that only one-fourth of the full heating value ‘was obtained. It is important to see that the heat- ing equipment is right. Cover pipes, clean flues and chimneys and see that | the fit of the ash-pit doors, dampers and | furnace parts is in the best possible condition. Damper control is one of the chief secrets of economical heating. Clean heating surfaces are very im-| portant, because soot is a poorer con- ductor of heat than asbestos. | Your object should be to maintain a | steady heat in your house and a steady | fire in the furnace, rather than to have first a very hot fire and then let it get so low as to require very heavy appli- cations of fuel to bring it back to nor- mal. Another general rule about your furnace or stove is to feed the fire reg- ularly whether in cool weather or 'very cold weather. Keep the fire pot full, no matter whether you are burning the fuel slowly or rapidly. A thin fire wastes coal. Disturb your fire as little | as Posslble. Too frequent stoking or | poking Impairs efficiency. | It is economy to keep a hard-coal fire over from day to day, especially if | a stove is used as a source of heat for the room. Usually a wood fire is hard | to keep over, but a hard-coal fire can | be easily kept. In the evening rake out | the ashes, put coal on and open th!‘ dampers until the fresh fuel is burn-| ing well. Put on coal until the fire | box is almost full and close all the| dampers except the check-draft dam- per in the stovepipe. Causes of Loss of Heat. One common cause of loss of heat in a house is through radiation. That is, heat escapes in the cellar by radiation | from the hot furnace and the pipes | !carrying the hot water or steam to the points where they pass through the | flooring to the radiators on the floors above. In its passage through these | pipes, exposed to the cold air of the cel- lar, a considerable amount of heat is lost from the water or steam. The way to check this is thoroughly and com- pletely to wrap the furnace and all| pipes with asbestos or some similar | preparation effective as a non-conduc- tor of heat. v To sum up: The flow of air through ignited fuel is what makes a fire burn. Learn to control this flow of air. One of the very best general rules for fur- nace or range is to provide just enough flow of air through the fuel below, and then check that flow of air from below by regulating the check damper above, which lets cold air flow directly into the chimney. This method furnishes the necessary oxygen from below to give good combustion to the fuel and for the consumption of the coal gases, and also allows time for the burning of these gases before they are sucked up the chimney. It is the escape of .too large a pmgomen of these combustible gases up the chimney, before they have burned which accounts for the very low percentage of usable heat obtained from many furnaces. Large quantities of fuel may be consumed with no other result than throwing most of the heat up the chimney. The heat must do what you want it to do rather than needlessly to warm unoccupied spaces and the chimney. In addition to keeping a steady and not an intermittent fire. a good thing w do is to keep one or two small pans or open-top jars of fresh water on top of your radiator or in front of registers. This will keep the air in your house moist. Most peo%l: are unaware of the very important bearing a correct de- gree of moisture has upon both health and comfort. A temperature of 68 de- grees is sufficient for active adults in good health. Try to keep your house temperature up to that point. With house-heating apparatus of any kind, whether it be a hot-air furnace, a steam heater or a hot-water system, the matter of soot on the heating sur- faces is of great importance. The quantity of coal wasted by coated heat- ing surfaces is far greater than the ma- jority of people suppose. Keep your furnace and stoves clean. Every two weeks throughout the Winter every soot particle should be routed. This may scem unnecessary and you may think that furnaces are suj d _to be sooty, but they are not. the fire box is clogged with ashes, air cannot pass through the fuel to make it burn. If soot hangs on the stove lids, less heat can come through it. A layer of ashes over the top and one under the oven keep it from heating quickly. Some Ways to Save Coal Sift your ashes from the stove and sift those from the furnace, too. From each sifting you will get enough coal to run the furnace over night. Orange and lemon rinds are rich in oil. Save them for fuel. Dried, these rinds burn splendidly.

Institute, two “cooking mornings” & week and cook everything possible on those days, using both the oven and the top of the stove. A joint of meat may be cut in halves and one part roasted, the rest made into various dishes, such as hot pot, casserole of beef and so on, which may be three parts cooked and kept for use on othew days. They can be reheated on a gas stove or rangs. Steamed puddings may be cooked for two hours and then heated for an hour the day they al to be used. Pastry and cakes can be made and kept in tins. Various baked puddings will keep and may be eaten cold, such as sponge pudding. apple charlotte, coffee pudding, chocolate b"a? pudding, besides numerous cold sweets. Prevent Waste. Gas should never be lighted until the food to be cooked has been placed oy the burner. The size of the flame regud lates the amount of gas fuel used, hence a small flame should be used under &§ small cooking utensil and a larger flame or larger burner under a large utensily The flame that plays around the side of the cooking utensil is so much wasted heat and should not be permitted. The flame that is left burning when you take off the dish is another source of waste and should be turned out evem if it must soon be relighted. A yellow flame means a dirty flame, whicly means waste of heat, whereas a burneg that is kept clean will give a blug flame, and the blue flame is hotter. ‘The oven need not be heated I ahead of the time it is to be used an the oven burners need not stay lighted until the very end of the baking proce ess. Every bit of oven heat should be used by filling the oven space to its full capacity on baking day. Prepare dishes that can be used for several meals, then you won't need to use the oven and the extra fire it requires so often. Boiling liquids .are no hotter when boiling rapidly than when boiling slowly. Have just enough flame to keep them at the boiling point. Usually the simmering burner will supply enough gas for this purpose. : Economy when using an electrie stove is as important as gas economy, Practically the same principles apj to electric economy as to gas economy. Translate your gas rules into terms ap= plicable to the electric stove, knowing that in their final expression they sum up to this general statement: Let no burner use a single bit of heat not actually needed. According to recent figures, 65 per cent of all fires throughout the country occur in homes or apartment buildings, Many fires are caused from electric flatiron being left with the current turned on. Thirty-five fires a day. seri= ous enough to warrant calling out the fire department, is the record for this carelessness, and nearly 800 deaths in a year attest the fact that many women didn’t take the dangers of home dry cleaning seriously enough. All dry cleaning done with gasoline should be handled in the open air and very lit- tle rubbing with the hands should be done. It is best to use a non-inflam- mable cleaner. Because you have been starting fires with kerosene all your life and nothing has happened yet, is by no means a sign that nothing ever will happen, and the fact that baby has never cared to play with matches before is no sign that he won't take a fancy to them tomor- row if they are within his reach. Never leave matches lying around loose. Put both burned and unburned in mctal containers. Protect from rats and mice. More than one fire has beon Buy safoty matches and keep them out of ths reach of children. Dustless dusters and oil mops should be kept in covered metal containers if in the house, but it is better to lcave them outdoors, where they can get f!enty of air. Hang oiled rags up loosely.
