i WOMAN'’S PAGE. Few women, I suppose, are entirely gatisfied with their figures as nature designed them. Those who are not convinced that they are too heavy above the waist are usually concerned with the problem of disguising the fact that they are too heavy below the waist. They accept slight irregularities of feature far more complacently, knowing that perfect regularity of mouth, lips, eyes and chin is so extremely rare as hnrdl{ to be normal, but they seem to feel that a perfectly proportioned figure is theirs by right. The coat shown in today's sketch was designed for a woman whose first thought in choosing frocks or wraps is to hide the fact that her hips are a trifie too broad and that her shoulders are too narrow—for perfection. The oeat is lined with fur from shoulders | w a little below the walstline, thus providing protection in_ cold weather across chest and back where it is most needed without adding at all to the bulk of the garment about the hips. Almost _as_thrilling as finding the first woodland violet of the season is noting the first flower-trimmed hats. This season it seemed quite likely that there wouldn't be any hats of that sort at all. than on the crown or brim of a hat. But now they have really appeared— these flowered hats—only those that I have seen seem more like caps than hats. The flowers are mounted on a | flexible hair foundation in all-over arrangement. Sometimes the hat is in Dutch cap shape with small flowers like violets or forget-me-nots arranged all over the crown, with the little ear tabs made of straw or braid. From a little narrow white or cream Jace and a few inches of pastel colored ribbon you may make the most aitrac- tive decorations for a little girl's frock. 1If you are planning any children’s sew- ing this late Winter or in the Spring, I am sure you will appreciate this week’s circular as it decsribes how to make this lace and ribbon trimming.

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., February 8.— Trene Bordoni will make a movie and give the cinema ladies active rivalry in sartorial matters, both off and on the * screen. This importation is decidedly the re- sult of the sound picture, for musical comedy comes into its own in the new medium, even if crama becomes dram- mer and the tout ensemble is decidedly out of a can. Bordoni comes to the cinema with a background of musical comedy suc- cesses, She comes with a beauty un- questioned, photographically as well as actually. She is Parisian to her finger tips, and her command of clothes is divine. And as the sound film is giving musical comedy, theme songs and danc- ing de luxe to the world in general, what better exponent of it could be found than this actress? She has been beyond the reach of the more modest purses and a name only to the inhabitants of smaller cities off the beaten path. Gertrude Lawrence is another musi- cal comedy beauty to enter films in talkie shorts. It is amazing to dis- cover how many movie girls can sing, or at least to hear that many of them :e going to sing in forthcoming pic- res. Carmel Myers is said to have an ex- cellent voice. Lupe Velez sings. Dolores Del Rio has made records and sings very well indeed. Corinne Griffith sings in her latest production. Atter all, movie ladies are getting even with those vaudevillians who, trained to trapeze work, open their act with a soft-shoe dance, a bit of jug- gling, a whistling number, some hig] dives into a glass tank, recitals of maudlin poetry and an operatic aria thrown in for good measure.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8 1929. Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. February 8, 1865.—The interesting ceremony of opening officially the sealed States’ certificates and counting the electoral votes for President and Vice President took place in the hall of the House of Representatives today. At an early hour visitors commenced coming to the Capitol and before noon the gal- leries of the House and the corridors were crowded almost to suffocation by the great number of persons eager to catch a glimpse of the proceedings | within the hall, | _The floor of the House itself was | thronged with visitors, introduced by | members, much to the dissatisfaction of i some. Representative Harrington of In- diana complained that strangers were being admitted tarough a window by a House barber. Several attempts were made to have the hall cleared of visitors, but without success, and strangers continued to slip | in during the whole proceedings. No gentlemen were admitted to the ladies’ gallery, but members of the feminine sex were 10 be found in many places not or- dinarily assigned to them. In the rush for good seats crinoline collapsed m extraordinarily. Even the reporters’ gallery was occupied by the fair sex, much to the distraction of the members of the press. Although, of course, the re-election of President Lincoln was a foregone con- clusion, the crowd wanted to see the constitutional ceremony performed. The Senate, preceded by the Vice President, entered the hall a few minutes before 1 o'clock and the Senators took seats on the right of the Speaker’s chair, The official vote was as _follows: 'w York, 33; New Jer- vlvania, 26; Delaware, 3; Ohio, 21; Kentucky, 11; Indiana, 13:' Illinois, 13; Missouri, 11; Michigan, 8; fowa, 8; Wisconsin, 8; California, 5: Minnesota, 4; Oregon, 3; Kansas, 3; West Virginia, 5; Nevada, 3. The total number of States voting was 25 and 234 electoral votes were cast. Of these Mr. Lincoln received from 22 States 213 electoral votes. NANCY PAGE Joan Has a Happy Birthday Without a Party. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Maryland, 7; It was Joan's birthday, and for the occasion she was dressed in a new frock of handkerchief linen in apple green, with collar and cuffs of fine white handkerchief linen. Aunt Nancy was considered queer among her friends because she did not believe in birthday parties for little children. “It does nothing but upset them. They are told 10 be on their good behavior. They are all dressed up. They play games where certain popular children are chosen again and again and the others feel like poor, neglected wall flowers. I would not be surprised to learn that parties in childhood explain some cases of inferiority complexes later. Then they eat too much, they are§too excited, and mothers pay for the party every time. Why don’t you wait until chil- dren are old enough to know what a party means? when they are tiny tots?” Accordingly Joan had no birthday party. But she did have a birthday cake. It was made from a simple one- egg recipe. Aunt Nancy found that a simple butter cake was less apt to upset the digestion than a sponge cake. On the cake was a pale pink icing made of raspberry juice and confectioners’ sugar, stirred up with a bit of melted butter, And on the cake were four lighted candles. Aunt Nancy would not let the child blow them out, however, nor would she let the grownups do it. “Who wants to eat cake that has been blown upon by every one?” quoth she. and who does? But the crowning part of the birthday was Uncle Peter’s pres- ent—a velocipede. Joan .stood speec less. But she was not too upset and ex- cited to go to sleep that night, and she did not have nightmares. *“All thanks to a partyless day,” again quoth Aunt Nancy. Child_care is a serious matter.

Today he is badly bent, if not entirely broke. Those to whom he was once a hero or to whom he contributed money have long since forgotten him. There was a time when the papers printed his name on the first page and thousands thronged to see him fight. Hero worshipers bat- tled merely to touch the hem of his sleeve. Then one day he met an un- known boxer and was knocked out. The throng stampeded in the direc- tion of the new fistic king and only the handlers of the defeated champion remained to solace him. As he walked down the long aisle with a heavy heart he was as much alone as Robinson Crusoe, ‘The experience might have re- sulted in distorting his perspective.

Boyd Everyday Law Cases May Conditional Vendor Reclaim Goods After He Has Sued for Purchase Price? BY THE COUNSELLOR. ‘The Brown Refrigerator Co. insti- tuted an action of replevin to recover possession of a refrigerator which it had sold on a conditional contract to John Chipman, a grocer. The com- pany alleged that Chipman had made only one payment of $20, and had failed and refused to pay the balance of $280 due on the purchase price. Chipman contested the action of re- plevin on the ground that the com- pany had sued him and recovered a judgment against him for the $280. By such action, he contended, it had waived the right to recover possession of the refrigerator as stipulated in the conditional contract of sale. ‘The court, however, permitted the company to repossess the refrigerator, explaining: “Although it was the general rule in most States that the recovery of a judgment for the price was a waiver of the right to repossess the article sold on a conditional sales contract, this rule has been changed in several States by the adoption of the uniform eondi- tional sales act, which provides as follows: “‘Neither the bringing of an action by the sellor for the recovery of the price, nor the recovery of judgment in such action, shall be deemed inconsist- ent with a later retaking of the goods.’” Marshmallow Sweet Potatoes.
