WOMAN'’S PAGE. hE EVENING § TAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, SATURDAY., FEBRUARY 16, 1929. Embroidery on Parchment Shades BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. THE AUSTER S TOUCHES OF HAND EMBROIDERY DESCRIBED. The woman who delights in having | the interior of her home reflect what | is choicest in household appointments knows that fashions in lamp shades are fluctuating and that one must keep in touch with the vogue in order to be up to date. The increasing favor with which parchment lamp shades have been met within the last few years has led to a | new development which introduces oc- casional bits of needlework upon the parchment itself. ‘The embroidery is used with such reserve and in a manner so exquisite that its presence is not immediately apparent. One is aware of looking at a particularly boautiful shade with a choice of colors that pleases, yet some- how relieved of the suggestion of austerity sometimes felt in shades of parchment. An excellent example of an “ensem. ble lamp,” in which the shade derives its pattern from the base and in which embroidery is used with taste and dis- cretion, is found in one with a Jap- anese motif, of which either flowers or figures are sclected for duplication on the shade. If it is a figure on which some of the hand work is to be done with a needle and silk thread, the robe can be embroidered. It is simpler, however, to select a flower, one out of not more than six or seven to be embroidered, the others to be exe- cuted with a paint brush. | INAUGURAL PAGEANT Washington BY ALEXANDER R. GEORGE. Ulysses S. Grant. Associated Press Feature. UL 'SSES S. GRANT laid aside his “inevitable cigar” long enough to ride to the Capitol in an inaugural pro- | cession that was the greatest military display Washing- ton had ever wit- nessed. The inaugura- tion of the unas- suming leader of the Union Armies, the most distin- guished citizen of { the country during the post-war pe- riod, attracted a record - breaking crowd to the Cap- ital. Cots were packed, into every available space in hotels and| houses, and hun-| dreds of visitors, unable to find sleeping quarters, all night, | Describing the congestion, The Wash- ington Evening Star of March 4, 1869, said: “One original Grant man from the back settlements, with a carpet bag in each hand and a female on each arm, was seen about 2 o'clock this morning near the Circle, having vainly tried at every home between the depot and that point for a sleeping place.” Windows, balconies d porticos fronting upon Pennsylvania avenue ‘were in great demand and negotiations for vantage points were in progress early in February. From $25 to $50 ‘was paid for single windows overlooking the line of procession, and “one gen- tleman having a fine balcony in front of his residence declined $150 for its use, preferring to have it for the use of his family and friends.” walked the streets MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Dear Miss Leeds: (1) Is it true that if you remove hairs from the legs they will grow in on the face? I wanted to remove my superfluous hairs with a liquid or paste, but one of my chums told me not to, because they would grow in on the face. Does it cost much to have them removed by electricity?

The shade portrayed cherry blossoms, so chastely comming- ling embroidery and painting that one other, save when the light was reflected differently by the silken surface.

The old warriors of 1812 rode in a lavishly decorated omni- bus drawn by six white horses. Grant, however, disappointed the spectacle-lovers who had counted upon seeing him in his full uniform as com- manding general of the United States: Armies. He no taste for dispiay of this sort and avoided it just as he de- clined the pomp of a triumphal entry into Richmond after its capture. So the former “tanner’s boy,” wearing a severely plaln black suit, rode in an open carriage through lanes of wildly cheering people. There was a “terrific jam” at the inaugural ball, which was held in the new wing of the Treasury Building. Many fainted from the heat and pres- sure of the crowd, and “swooning ladies were handed about in a matter of coxu;se way.” A Washington reporter Eaa: “The venerable white head and spec- tacles of Horace Greeley made him r conspicuous object wherever he moved, causing him to be recognized by every- body. In the midst of the gay throng, he looked like a cat in a strange garret, and was continually getting stranded in the most hopeless fashion. “He swore a good deal in the oddest and most miscellaneous style when jammed and jolted for two hours in the cloakrooms in quest of his white over- | coat. One would as soon expect a bul- |let from a rosebud as an oath from Horace Greeley, but he certainly did curse most ferociously on this occasion.” ‘Washington shoe polishers, augment- ed by a small army of bootblacks from Philadelphia, gave inaugural visitors “a Grant shine for a dime.” In the eve- ning, guests at the Metropolitan Hotel amused themselves by throwing nickels into the streets for the scrambling bootblacks. | the filling.

I am 5 feet 1 inch tall, 14 years old and weigh 100 pounds. Is this correct? QUESTIONABLE. Answer.—Yes, indeed, age and weight are related. You are four pounds below the average weight for your age and height. If you were 18 years old and |5 feet 1 inch tall your correct weight | would be about 111 pounds. As one ! grows older one's weight should increase until the body is fully. mature, even when the height remains the same. 1S LEEDS, ‘Weak Feet and Moccasins. Dear Miss Leeds: Does wearing moc- casins help weak arches? It seems as though the feet would get more exer- cise in moccasins than in ordinary shoes. ANXIOUS. Answer.—There are so many degrees (of weak feet that their treatment should be undertaken by a competent foot specialist after a careful examina- tion. In some cases shoes with a cer- tain amount of stiffness at the arches {and counters are required: others (as well as normal feet) need a flexible larch. In general, I should say that | wearing moccasins may be advocated in | some cases part of the time. The right sort of corrective footwear will, how- ever, permit the feet to get enough exercise in walking. Special exercise done with bare feet may also be re- {quired. We wear heels on our shoes because the heels break the shock com- ing down on hard floors and pavements. Heelless moccasins would not be suitable for general wear under modern condi- tions. Another drawback to wearing moccasins is that they usually do not fit snugly at the heel, thus permitting the heel of the foot to slip and turn. Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. February 16, 1861.—Washington is filled with rumors, today, concerning “violent opposition” in the peace con- | ference to proposing at this time any iplan of settlement between the Free and the Slaveholding States. The radical wing of the Republican party, both in the peace conferance upon the experiment, which some be- lieve to be dangerous, of belittling the troubles of the times and relying upon the next Congress to find the means of maintaining the authority of the United States over the seceded States. These radical Republicans are being criticized by some persons for relying also upon the people of the border, slaveholding States to aid in upholding the Federal authority, under circumstances that they would find the institution of slavery likely to be disposed of by Northern majority of two-thirds or three-fourths of the States, according to the terms of the Constitution. The issue between remaining in the Union and joining the seceded States are still turned today upon Richmond, where the Virginia convention is being held. The contract for the erection of the building in which to hold the inaugural ball has been awarded to Messrs. Angus and Lewis. The building is to be erect- ed in the rear of the % Hall and will run parallel to that" ding. The length of the dancing saloon will be 250 feet and the width 60 feet. Ad- jolning this and opening immediately into it will be the supper room, which will be of the same length. ‘The height of the daneing room sa- loon will be 22 fect and the main en- trance will be through the vestibule of the City Hall building. The room or- dinarily occupied by the Common Coun- cil and the courtroom will be used on the night of March 4 as dressing rooms for ladies and gentlemen. The contractors will employ between 75 and 100 men to get the work done In time for Mr. Lincoln's inaugura- MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. Value of Praise. One mother says: Little Shirly, who is 5, often did her tasks carelessly. If anxious to get out to play she would leave things wher- ever they chanced to land. Shoes were left in the center of the floor and dresses were thrown anywhere. I often found the little blue and white room in tragic disorder, and any amount of criticism and correction brought no improvement. One day she came home from kin- dleargarben fairly bursting with enthu- stasm. dently replied, * and lots today for Miss Wilson anc she smiled and said it was ever so good, and now I'm going to practice and practice and have the best in the class. Then Miss Wilson will hold it up and tell all the little girls and boys how good it is.” g “A teacher’s praise,” thought I, “has kindled all this enthusiasm in little Shirly.” Needless to say I decided to try this “phrase method” myself and after com- plimenting the child a time or two when I did find her room in order, I found that she had practically overcome her disorderliness.

We stay out nights. We go on wild parties and raise Cain generally. But sometimes we wonder if this is leading us to a manhood in the real sense of the word. Last night we had an argument about it with some other collegians, and they contended that we were right, that youth must follow its course, and we must have our fling. What do you say? ALPHA AND BETA. Answer: I often wish that some philanthropist would endow a chair of moral agriculture in our colleges that would teach young men the cost of raising a wild-oat crop, and prove to them by facts and figures that it is a disastrous business that will almost surely land them in bankruptcy for life. For the trouble with boys is that they are too young to have found out that when we dance we always have to pay the piper. They think that they can have a wild time and go the pace that kills, and when they get tired of racketeering that they can cut 1t all out and settle down, and that will be all ‘The past will be past, and they can on with the future. They think they can plant thistles and gather figs, and t the wild-oat crop will never comie up to bother them. Never was there a greater mistake. Let’s count up the cost of the wild-oat crop you are sowing and see if it is worth what you are paying for it. You are spending your nights in wassall. That means you are neglecting your studies. You are throwing away your opportunities for a good education, and that is something you will pay for the balance of your life. You have the opgortumty to acquire culture that will give you poise, and make you not only an interesting companion for evety- body else, but for yourself. You have the opportunity for storing up ifformation that will serve you at every turn, no matter what business or profession you elect to follow. You are given the opportunity to develop your mind so that you can get the very most out of whatever brain power God gave you. But you are not doing it. You are letting your chances for an education slide by. - You are loafing through college, and you will pay for it by being hampered by your ignorance, ang by having formed habits of idleness that will take you years and years to break, if you ever do. Pretty steep price for a few good times, isn't it? ~ You are drinking too much. Most of the seed of the wild-oat crop is kept in a bottle. You don't mean to be a drunkard. No man starts out with that intention, and you intend to cut out drink after a while. Perhaps you will. o To your dying day, however, and that will be 20 or 30 yeers sooner than it should be, you will be paying for the things that the vile, raw liquor—that is all that any college boy can buy now—has done to your stomach and nerves. Dyspepsia. diabetes, Bright's disease, frazzled nerves—that is the price tag on drinking when you are young. And the women with whom you go on wild parties. They are the most costly item in all the wild-oats bill of expenses. Don’t fool yourself into believing that when you get tired of Mamie and Sadie you can kiss them good-by and ride awa{.t Far from it. They will hang on as long as you have a dollar in your pocket. Or if you have the misfortune to have a rich f: you when you are full of alcoholic sentiment, and a wife for whom you have neither affection nor r defendant in a breach of promise suit. ather, one of them will marry you will find yourself tied to espect. Or you will be made Every day you read in the paper about been mlnlx;rled %o some l"omln ogg enough to on a wild party. Or of some boy whose parents are trying to buy off a gold | digger who has her clutches upon him. Or of some man who has hycen shotgand killed by some woman he was trying to get rid of. Every day you see on the street men who should be at the height of their vigor in mind and body, who | are prematurely senile. Men shaking with St. Vitus dance, rheumatic, hobbling along on their canes and dragging their feet an inch at a time, who are paying for the wild-oat crop they sowed in their youth. be his mother while they were out Believe me, son, the most inexorabls we reap. Figure it out for yourself and harvest the crop you are planting when running around at night, and drinking e law in all nature is that as we sow, see whether you are going to want to you are spending your time at college and going on wild parties.

Having twp some young fool at collegz who has | Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Occupational Psychology. Some years ago a number of self- styled employment experts went the rounds of the men who employed large numbers of people. Their clalm was that they were able to take the “square pegs” out of the “round holes.” other words, they said that, with the ald of a few simple tests, they could "!‘ll who was fitted to do what, and why. Busy men are gullible. They went in for the idea. And the employment experts (?) reaped a harvest. One or two of them became enormously rich. Then came the war and the so-called Army tests. There were extravagant hopes on the part of a large number of would-be psychologists. In an hour's time men could be sorted after the fashion of vegetable or fruit grading, and assigned to the proper unit. So they said. It is hard to estimate the injustice of the whole movement for the em- ployer as well as for the employes For there are a great many deluded employers stjll. The employes have always kno better, but their protests amount to nothing as a rule. Why have the occupational psycholo- gists failed? Because they forgot all about the emotions and the feelings of men. Perhaps they purposely over- looked them. If so, not without good reason. Foy there is no valid test of a person’s emotional traits, aside from actual living human situations, with all their hopes, fears, ambitions and dis- appointments. Even if the dominant tendencies for a given individual were charted, they would still be unknown in a quantitative | sense. The feelings and emotions have the consciousness of their possessors. And, therefore, the purpose of thesc feelings remains a matter of specula- tion rather than a matter of practica’ appiication. We can know only in r his work and its prospects.

Max Rheinhardt, relying on dignity and reputation to prevail, took refuge in silence and distance, retiring to the desert to commune with nature while developing his theme. Such dignity is plain tantrum, and Joe Schenck's as- sistants profited by it to save a lot of cash. Meanwhile studio officials took occa- sion to read a breach of contract into the maestro's aloofness, and another great man got the Hollywood silence. This puts Reinhardt into the ranks oceupied by Dantschenko, Willlam J. Locke and other artists who find when jarriving in Cinemaland that they do flc‘gs speak the language of the gelatin gods. Moral—No man is a hero to his valet or his movie producer. No girl with long hair has the maxi- mum of sex appeal in Sam Goldwyn's idea. Not that he said this in clear, cold English. But he made Joan Ben- nett cut her heavy golden locks the day after she arrived in Hollywood on the ground that she did not have suffi- cient sex appeal. } The second criticism of the little| beauty was that she did not have the approved movie manner. In other words, she lacked spirit—she was too| languid, too remote. So now Joan Ben- | nett, having cut her golden locks and cried herself to sleep thereafter, is reg- | istering animation and eagerness and making quite a hit for herself. | | Hair Treatments. Very, very few women have hair good | cnough and strong enough not to need | frequent treatments with a good hair | tonic. Especlally since the advent of the close-fitting felt hat, which is al- most, but not quite, as bad as the stiff derby that has accounted for so many masculine bald heads. So I'd like to repeat the formula for my pet hair tonic today just in case you haven't used it. It has been used by some thousands of my readers, and 1 think they all like it. I use it myself. Precipitated sulphur, 30 grains; car- bon detergent, 30 drops; castor oil, 10 drops: alcohol (95 per cent), 4 ounces: tincture cantharides, 4 drams; cologne, 4 drams: rosewater, to make 8 ounces. This is a good. general tonic, with sulphur for dandruff and castor oil for the same purpose, the carbon detergent as an antiseptic (your druggist can sub- stitute another antiseptic lotion if he wants, as this is sometimes hard to get) cantharides, which is highly stimulat- ing to the roots of the hair, and the rest to blend and dilute, and make the hair fluffy. If this tonic, or any really good tonic that suits your hair, is used once a week, whether apparently needed or not, the hair should never lose its thickness and its youthful vitality. If there is something wrong with the health of the hair, twice or even three times & week Is better. And a shampoo once in three weeks, or two weeks if the hair is oily, preceded by an oil rub the night before. Dally brushing with a deep bristled, i The nomadic habits of present-day women of fashion has a direct bearing on fashions in millinery. Years ago when a woman of social importance made three or four deliberate and carefully planned adjournments a year—spent her Winters in town and her Summers at her Summer home, with possibly a trip South if her health required it, and had a week or so to look forward to every house party—in those days milliners might make hats that required a hat box each and had to be carefully wrapped or padded in tissue paper every time they were moved. But in these days. when women of wealth and leisure flit from town to country, from seashore to mountains, from Northern Africa to Paris, from Atlantic to Pacific on a few hours premeditation, large hats that require many hat boxes and elaborate packing simply won't do at all. They might do for the sedate, middle-class folk who stay at home most of the time, but for the birds of passage who to | a great extent set the fashions they ! are out of the question. ] This season more than ever before there has been a demand for light, | easily packed little hats—six or seven | of which may be stowed away in one hat box. One or two broad-brimmed | hats may take place of honor in the | box, but the others have to be the sort that can be folded up and fitted into the room that remains. : Many of the new hats have no linings | whatever. Sometimes they are made on a very ht-weight net founda- | tion—with appliques of felt or silk to | give them substance. There are little turbans made from a yard of wide sil: or woolen ribbon, unlined save for ¢ facing of ribbon round the edge, ar for Southern wear a variety of lit!’ hats of linen or cotton that are comfortable to wear as they are con- venient to pack. — BEAUTY CHATS PARIS.—One thing about Beer's black crepe satin afterncon dress with jabot lined with white is that it gives a_chance to wear the white kid pull-on The dress is cleverly worked in ascend- | ing steps with a buckled belt fastened at a nearly normal waistline.—RITA. MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE MERRICK. Since Samuel Goldwyn has chosen the lovely Vilma Banky, Lily Damita and s host of other beauties who have become world idos, his ideas on sex appeal are of paramount importance. If you are affecting the dignity of long locks, take stock of your admirers and question whether or not the list could be increased by a visit to the barber. Above all, don’t take my word for it. Remember that the autocrat of movie- dom decrees that sex appeal is the pre- rogative of the cropped-hair lady. Heads galore have been falling in Movieland today. There has been a general housecleaning at the Laemmle institution, so the story goes. And be- fore Winfleld Sheehan left for New York the heads of two executives on the William Fox lot went into the basket. Both gentlemen expected to be making talkies with that particular firm up to the day of their retirement. They had just 10 minutes’ notice. In a business which moves as fast a3 the cinema profession it is necessary to make changes rapidly. And the greatc: economy lies in buying out the contra-t of a man you no longer want. To ke: him in the studio in a position of a° thgmy might jeopardize valuable ov put.
