WOMAN'’S PAGE. Vanity Bags of Ostrich Feathers BY MARY MARSHALL. Even the most devoted young husband Bsually cbjects, silently or otherwise, to having his wife carry her powder puff and lipstick in the pocket of his evening coat. Probably most men don't see pre- CURLED AND UNCURLED OSTRICH IN TWO PASTEL SHADES OF GREEN USED FOR EVENING BAG. LITTLE BAG OF GOLD LACE AND ORANGE - COLORED OS- TRICH. SIMPLE BAG OF METAL- LIC RIBBON AND OSTRICH. cisely why, when a woman has spent @ half-hour applying foundation cream | or liquid powder and the sort of ronge | &nd lipstick that cost a great deal be fectly kiss proof, she has to bother with the portable cosmetics anyway. But since she never does seem to be en- irely contented without them the best think she can do is to have the sort of little evening bag that she can carry around with her. And she is much less likely to leave it in the taxi or the dress- ing room if it is the sort that is pro- vided with & t strap. There are charming metal vanity cases for evening, but if you prefer something a little fussier—and also less expensive—you may be interested in the new evening vanity bags made of ostrich feathers. Many of the shops are selling these in a variety of pastel but it not at all difficult to them yourself. When you do this they cost so little that you can probably have one to go with each of your eve- ning ensembles. There should be a little bag or sack of silk to begin with. This may be pro- vided with narrow ribbon or silk cord drawstrings or may be made with two little whalebone stifTeners at the top to keep the opening closed. At the trim- ming counter you can buy a small piec2 of ostrich feather trimming in the de- sired shade. and this may be arranged over the little bag. A ribbon or fold of silk to match should be attached for the wrist strap, and you may add metal- lic ribbon or lace for further ornament. It is such a simple trick that I am sure you won't need a diagram—but I have a circular for this week that I hope you will like. It consists of a pat- tern and directions for making a pair of rompers—that may be made to fit any child or baby.

KEEPING MENTALLY FIT BY JOSEPH Movies for Eye or for Ear. Some time 2go I commented on the Pproblems raised by the new art of the “talkies.” Some readers raised ques- $ions, so I shall continue. The future of the “talkies” is a complex matter; the psycologist cannot prophesy, but he ean analyze. The eye and the ear are built dif- ferently and perform very different services. The ear is the time sense; the eye the space sense. Seeing is be- Yieving because we are predominantly eye-minded. Though we have noses, we can't imagine how we should react if, Jike dogs, we were smell-minded crea- tures. We are ear-minded also—some of us wery much so. But by and large our ‘world is the world of appearance. Were 4t not for spoken language, which is our dominant form of communication, :earxng would play a much more lim- f8ed part in our mental life. Yet we don’t live in a silent world; Sar from it. Hearing is a great pro- tective sense. We start at an alarm- ing sound and seck safety. Noises dis- turb. We need quiet for concentration for repose, also; silence s restful. We not only hear sounds, we make them; and the sounds we make carry an emo- tional as well as an intellectual mean- ing. The ear is important to the emo- | tional life. We hear and we utter the ' tones of command, of reproof, of threat, t :Lcheer, of pleading, of fear, of pity, of . tress, of sympathy, of earess. Sounds abound in nature, and in the artificial life we lead, and many objects in motion produce sounds as 'we know to our discomfort in traveling. JASTROW. Half the terror of a storm or of war is in the crash or the boom. ‘The silent movies often left a sense of lack, a gap in reality. This was partly supplied by sound effects manu- factured on the stage. But for human action all is secondary to speech; sound effects don’'t make “talkies” any more than “sight effects” make or add to music. You may like to see the singer as he sings, to watch the movements of the orchestra as it plays, but it adds nothing to the music. Music by radio carries amply. ‘The motion that registers to the eye is not the motion that registers to the ear; they merely go on at the same time and may belong together. The two merge in the attention, and that means mental attention, following ideas as well as action. You can undoubtedly follow a speaker better when you can see him; that is because of your eye-attention habit. As organs of attention, the ear and the eye differ; but the effect of that difference for those who use both senses depends wholly on what is at- tended to. Actions speak not only louder than words, but more quickly. If you have both, the eye must adopt the slower attention time-rate of the ear; the actor must time his action to his speech, and the ears of the audi- ence react more slowly than the eyes of the spectators. Next and highly im- portant is this: Action merely accom- panies words. Though the actor acts as he talks, yet dialogue takes the lead- ing part in drama. ‘Words can say much more; they are suited to tell a different kind of story. ‘What that means for the “talkies” is the vital point; that is another story.

All those who have something to sell will do well to ascertain the invariable laws of human behavior and to build their selling methods around these laws. If you are able to attract the atten- tion of a prospective buyer, and fo hold that attention long enough, you may be sure that he will in time find a way to buy your goods. This is an invariable psychological law. It may be stated more briefly as follows: Control at- tention and you control bshavior. To put it still another way: The human being will do the things he thinks about. Let him think and keep on thinking | that he ought to have an automobile, land he will find a way to get it. This he will do regardless of the fact that | he may or may not need the automobile. The human being thinks in terms of himself. In the last enalysis he is selfish. He is continually turning his attention upon himself. Continually | working changes in his estimation of | himself. The private self is a mighty | drawing card. The chewing gum venders found this out years ago. And they put their knowledge to work. On every slot machine you will find a small mirror. The prospective buyer having nothing to do but “kill time" until his train departs, naturally thinks about himself. The mirror attracts his attention, and he embraces the oppor- tunity to check up on himself. Satisfled with that, his attention wanders to the curious coin slot and the still more curious mechanical device for delivering the slab of gum. So he gives it a trial—maybe two or three. One enlarges his ego, his sense of self in eausing a mechanical device to work for him. And so the goods are sold. Why? The casual wayfarer has had his at- tention turned upon himself. And be- ing a curiosity seeker he experiments with himself. That's why people buy gum from slot machines. (Copyright, 1929 WHO REMEMBERS? BY DICK MANSFIELD. Registered U. 8.

A trainman stood by watching Mrs. Reed walk down the steps, and, although he saw her plight, offered her no assistance. Mrs. Reed fell, landing on her face and severely injuring her- self. ‘The claim for damages later filed by Mrs. Reed with the railroad company was rejected and she instituted suit, asserting that the company owed her the duty of helping her down the steps. ‘The company denied liability, claiming that while the trainman was discour- teous in not helping Mrs. Reed, he. was under no obligation to do so. Mrs. Reed was able to recover dam- ages for her injuries from the company in accordance with the following ruling by the court: “The duty of rendering personal as- sistance to a passenger in boarding or alighting depends on the circumstances and conditions surrounding the passen- ger in the particular case. Ordinarily it is no part of the duties of the em- ployes to render such assistance. It may become their duty, however, where the circumstances are such as to indi- cate that he requires such assistance.” —. read Pudding.

February 18, 1869.—It was arrarged today that Speaker Colfax of the Ifouse of Representatives, who is alsy the Vice President-elect. shall tenckr his resignation as Speaker Iimmadiately after the reading cf the journdl of the House March 3, and a Speaker/ pro tem- pore will then be chosen in/his place. ‘The next day at noon Mr. Colfax will take the oath of his new o'fice, and be- come at the same time the presiding officer of the Sena‘e, impaediately prior to the inauguration of ‘Gen. Grant as | Pyesident of the United /States. ‘This arrangement h:é been made in order that some perscm may be in the Speaker’s chair to adjourn the House officially at the end of the Fortieth Con- gress. It is probable that Representative Pomeroy of New York will be chosen for that honor. It was stated at the White House to- day that President Johnson intends to make a visit to Europe soon after he goes out of office March 4. The offer of a passage was lately made to him by one of the German steamship lines, and the offer was accepted by President Johnson. Immediately after surrendering the rrt‘!idency to Gen. Grant, Mr. Johnson intends to/go to his home State of Ten- nessee for a brief visit to attend to some pel;sozlml nflairs.nAccxor{dlng to his pres- ent plans he will sail for Europe about April 1. The municipal authorities of Nash- ville and Baltimore meantime are mak- ing preparations to give Mr. Johnson a public reception when he passes through those places after leacing the presi- dency. The members of the Common Council of New York City propose to offer him a similar honor in the event he goes to that city. Lieut. Gen. Sherman is expected to arrive in Washington within the next 48 hours from New Orleans. He will oc- cupy the same room with Gen. Grant at Army headquarters, where a desk is being prepared for his use.

For more than a generation Washington women have delighted in Rice’s rich, deliciously different bread. They say it has that indescrib- ably fresh, wheaty taste that you usually find only in the finest home-baked variety. You get that wonderful “baking day” aroma the min- ute you push back the carefully sealed wrapper. It slices so easily too, while it is still oven- fresh. It keeps its shape—for it is baked slowly, clear through in the famous split top loaf. Fresh, rich milk and extra shortening give Rice’s bread the tender crust and firm creamy erumb that keep fresh for days and make such marvelous toast and sandwiches. All the family will love familiar bread dishes—brown betty, crumb griddle cakes, etc.—when made with tl'lis full-flavored bread. You are so sure of its wholesomeness, too. The seal of the City Baking Institute on the wrapper tells you that every ingredient is tested and guaranteed. Your grocer gets this golden loaf fresh twice a day—morning and afternoon. Do try it. g . RICE’S BREAD FEATURES. The Sidewalks of Washington BY THORNTON FISHER. He was a traveling man. “As soon | as I am through here,” said he, “I want to be on my way. A day or two in any city is enough for me. To have | to remain in one place more than a few hours would give me the heeble- jeebies.” It probably would. Speaking with a man who has been employed in town for many years, he | said: f T had to ‘bang’ around the coun- try, living in Pullman cars and hotel rooms, I'd get the ‘willies.” To sleep in the same bed every night and eat breakfast without having to insist to a stranger that I want & one-minute egg is my idea of something just a little this side of paradise. 1 would rather see my chil- dren grow and de- velop day by day and be with them to counsel and guide them than to be an occasional visitor in my own home.” Each man finds favor in his own prootivities. One is & roamer; the oth- er deeply rooted in finds compensation in his Jjob. To one new sights, new faces, new experiences ml‘cgfiibemmem: to the other familiar s, old scenes and a permanent mean happiness. i W We have a friend whose business com- pels him to go abroad twice a year, We met him one night in a Paris hotel. He was depressed. In a corner of a cafe he sat and gazed on the chattering :;lowd about him. He was tired of it “I'll be glad when I buy my last steamship ticket,” he said. “I've made at least 32 trips to Parls. At first it was glorious. The blandishments of the city appealed to me as & youth. I did not know a word of French in those days, but this did not interefere with the pleasure I found in the city. Today I am thoroughly tired of traveling.” much of anything becomes a hore. Priends envy this man his semi- annual ocean trips. What could be swecter than traveling with one's ex- penses paid? And yet even the con- stant rendition of a popular song sends it to the warehouse because folks tire on it quickly. * K ok % A father said a few days ago: “My wife has been terribly upset be- cause owr 20-year-old boy is talking of leaving home. After he graduated from high school we sent him to col- lege, but his mother insisted that he attend a local university. Personally, I am in favor of the boy striking out. He is a good average kid and has never caused us any more concern than most lads his age. “To a mother the breaking of home ties is a sad affair, but isn't a boy a more responsible citizen if he learns that he is on his own? “I have a friend who raised a family of five boys. Two of them, before they were 20, left their home and departed for distant cities. Neither of them wired home for money after reaching his destination. Today they are pros- one locality. Each s g s perous men in their communities and each has a family. “Three of the youths remained home, They were by no means shirkers, but, strangely enough, their accomplish. ments have been most ordinary. Each morning their mother awakened them. Their laundry was cared for, and they knew that in the event that they lost their positions they would get thres ‘squares’ a day until something turned up. “Among strangers, the two other boys discovered that to eat regularly meant constant employment. Strangers do not usually spoil young fellows. They must depend on a mechanical contraption to awaken them in the morning instead of a mother or father. It's a good thing for the boy to get aw: from home, Sometimes he becomes more of a man for the experience.” et Loneliness does not necessarily indi- cate that one lacks friends or acquaint- ances. Those who lack the talent or facilities for cooking meals must seek restaurants. Thousands of single men and women in Washington- depend upon public dining 'places. The only companion at these times is a daily pa- per proped up before them. Eating alone is like attending & performance by one’s self. The appetite is less keen, | Dining should be one of the most pleas- urable events of the day and the joy enhanced in the company of other members of the family. To eat alone is a perfunctory physical duty. o Each morning a young woman en- ters our favorite restaurant. She greety the cashier and walks to a weighing apparatus, steps on the scales, inserts a penny and gazes at the dlal. Then she orders her | breakfast.
