SWOMAN’S PAGE. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTOX, Riddle of Ensemble Styles BY MARY MARSHALL. When is a suit not a suit? When it is an ensemble, ‘That is a fairly satisfactory answer to that riddle. But one might have COMBINES GREEN JERSEY BLOUSE WITH NAVY BLUE KASHA IN JACKET ENSEMBLE, WITH BOX PLEATS POINTED AT HEM. more trouble to answer the question, When is a suit an ensemble, anyway? And when is a one or two piece frock .| in blouse or overblouse. Frequently this it just a one or two piece frock and a coat—nothing more? That is another question that is not always easy to answer. Broadly speaking, any combination of frock and wrap chosen with good taste is an ensemble—whether it was de- signed as such by the dressmaker or chosen to be worn together by the wearer. The specially designed ensem- ble has been brought into prominence by the French dressmakers this Spring. And the growing interest in evening ensembles should not be ignored. When we speak of suits we usually have in mind a sport or street costume consisting of fairly short jacket worn with a separate skirt and sweater, tuck- season suits of this description are more or less conventionally tailored and the prevailing jacket is of the finger-tip length, or even shorter. But there is a growing tendency in Paris to make jackets of the two-thirds length. ‘Then, for the more formal ensemble there are seven-eighth length coats and full-length coats, usually worn with and a coat an ensemble and when is The Daily Cross-Word Puzzle (Copyright, 1929.) 25.

Bernard has even made tailored suits with shorter coats which have skirts dipping longer in back to follow the lines of the jackets, which also dip. 4 If you are choosing one of the new short jacket suits with a tuck-in blouse, sweater or jumper, remember the im- portance of accessories—for it is the accessory that gives smartness and va- riety to such costumes.

March 1?, 1858.—This being District day In the House, several measures re- were introduced. a petition, signed by A. B. Davis and in agriculture and in the transporta- tion of country produce to Wash- ington City, and they feel deeply the disadvantages under which the product of their labor is not on an equality in the Washington markets with that from other places near Washington, due to the fact that they have to pay tolls on the roads and on the bridges into the Capital City. They refer to the liberal- ity of Congress in providing free roads leading into Washington from other sections, and they ask specifically that the plank road leading to and from Mlnlnmmery County be made free of tolls. Vigorous efforts are being made to bring the owners of property in Wash- ington to see the good which will come to the city if they submit gracefully to the proposed new tax to be used for the erection of permanent new school build- ings, the need of which is apparent to every one. A journalist says on this subject: “We are very sure that the owners of real estate in the District of Columbia will cheerfully accept the proposition of Senator Brown of Mississippi (author of the school tax bill) to be taxed 10 cents on every $100 for school purposes, in addition to_the tax to the same they now pay. No community can make a better investment than in paying liber- ally for educational purposes, provided, as here, the money raised for such ends be judiclously expended. “We regard the school plans of Sen- ator Brown as destined—if sanctioned by Congress—to do more for the future 34.

To compass. its enactment will require the active exer- tions of all interested in its success who may have opportunities to say a good wlord for it now and then in the right place. ‘We, therefore, have urged our fellow- clitzens of the District of Columbia not to lose sight of Senator Brown's school bill at any time, under any circum- stances, until it becomes a law. That united and earnest endeavor will make it a law sooner or later, no doubt.” Apricot Charlotte. Wash one-fourth pound of dried apricots, cover with cold water, and soak overnight.

H. writes: “I have found a new way of keeping my two older children quiet while the two babies take They are 3 years and 9 months and 2 years and 9 months, I have nine china dolls about one and one-half inches high. They were origi- nally intended to stand on individual nut boxes as party favors. The dolls are bright-colored, some holding books, some playing with dolls and one has a garden sprinkler in his hand. “The girls enjoy drawing, and as the oldest is a regular little artist, she grasped the idea quickly. I gave them crayolas and a large sheet of white pa- per and the dolls. They draw plans for house, draw in the beds, chairs, doors and outside garden .paths and school. They stand the dolls in various places in the house, sprinkler in the garden, etc. “On rainy days I allow the girls to help with the "baking. They would rather bake real cakes than make sand pies any day. I let them take turns. I have to help the smaller one with | the measuring, but the 3-year-old can do it herself. I read the recipe and she gets the things. She puts a thumb in an egg occasionally, but she is learn- ing. She tests her own cakes and I make the frosting. Both can make lovely cakes with very little help.” Answer.—If mothers would use this sensible method of teaching children to be helpful instead of punishing them for being in the way when cooking was in progress there would be fewer occa- sions for the mother of older girls to say, “I can’t get my girl to help with a thing, she whines or ignores my re- quests to help me.” The time to enlist a child's help is when the child has an interest. All small children, from 18 months on, want to help with all kinds of household tasks. THe average mother considers this time wasted. “What can she do?” she asks scornfully. “It's too much trouble to teach her.” Later, when she would like to teach the child, the interest has waned. The child has other ways.of amusing herself and dish washing and bed making and cooking no longer intrigue her. Teaching the small child helps her to become more self-reliant, which_ self-reliance carries over to innumerable other situations in the home, and the child's interest in making & good cake, which daddy will eat, or maklnfi & bed which her mother will show to the neighbors with pride is sufficient to keep alive an interest in the home and her part in it. .

NOT PASSED BY CENSOR BY DEWITT MACKENZIE. Paint the Pyramids. One of the fincct rough houses of | the World War was staged by Aus- tralian troops in Cairo early in 1916. And it was some show! Cleopatra wouldn't have recognized the place had she returned for the Aussies’ old home week. The trouble really started in a small way over a girl, but it quickly assumed the proportions of a real menace. There was open mutiny, and for three wecks the Nile laved the shores of the city of tribulation. The situation was so fraught with danger to Yhe army and to Cairo that th ePharaohs must have turned in their tombs, if perchance there are any of thes> ancient rulers who have not been dug up and carted away for the edification of the curious. The malier was very wisely hushed up at the time, Indeed, even after all these years I shall get no vote of thanks from anybody, much less from my many good Australian friends, for telling this tale. Still it can do no harm now, especially since I am writing about only a few hundred men from a force of soldiers whose dashing bravery provided one of the epics of the war. Before telling of the rough house, it is only fair to cafl ettention to a fact which perhaps many people have not recognized. Everybody knows, of course, that the Australians were two- fisted, fearless fighters of whom the enemy frankly was afraid. Nothing under the sun could stop them in an attack except death. But everybody knows also that the Australians chafed under military discipline, and that is what I wish to try to expl: in a word. Australia is still close to her pioneer- ing d: She is filled with the type of he-men who made history in America’s West not so many years ago. The Aus- tralian dislikes restraint as did the old- timers of Virginia City, U. S. A, who wrote their names on the barroom floors in lead to show their independence. This characteristic in part explains the Cairo imbroglio. 1t happened that a considerable num- ber of men from the wide-oven spaces of Australia had been landed in Egypt from the East and they were waiting to be transported to the batile lines in Prance. They were bronze-faced, strap- ping 6-footers, who were more used to their saddles and plains than they were to cities and irksome military restraint. ‘The show started one night in .a house used as.a billet for Aussies next to the Bristol Hotel in the heart of Cairo. Australian officers were quar- tered in the Bristol. Sothe soldier smug- gled a girl into the billet, which was rather asking for trouble. Another Aussie claimed that his sweetheart had been stolen and there followed a glorious free-for-all fist fight, in which everybody took part. ‘Then with a dash and abandon worthy of a great cause, these wild men smashed their furniture, virtually dismem- bered their house and finally set fire to it, just to celebrate a job well done. Naturally, the Australian command N pPROTECTION NE HE WHERE the teeth meet the gums—that is The Danger Line. At this line there are countless tiny crevices, ideal spots for the formation of the acids that cause tooth decay and gum irritations. Squibb’s Dental Cream brings real protection be- cause it fills those crevices with Squibb’s Milk of Mag- nesia—the best antacid known. The Milk of Magnesia not only neutralizes the acids at The Danger Line, but remains to bring protection for a long time after.

Sev- eral hundred Aussie soldiers were pa- raded before the hotel and a stern| edict was issued that they were to let the ladies of Cairo alone. Worse, the pay of the soldiers was stopped. Now, when you talk to an Australian like that you want to smile. The troops looked at each other out of the corners of their eyes for a moment and then with one accord they rushed their offi cers’ quarters. There was a bit of a mess. Other troops were called out and some of the rioters were rounded up. These men were court-martialed and they challenged no more orders. ‘The rest of the outfit, however, total- ing' several hundred, distributed them- selves about the city and hid from the military police. For thes most part-| the truants found refuge in native cafes, where they proceeded to have a high old time. It was a common occur- rence for an Aussie to steal a girl from a Greek or some other habitue of these places. Frequently a fight followed with the result that many people were injured and some establishments were wrecked. The Greeks and natives finally began to take revenge. They declared war on all men in uniform. It was unsafe for a soldier to be on the streets after dark; more than one got a knife in his_back. ‘This sort of thing went on for about three weeks. Finally the Australian command got the affair in hand, the soldiers were bundled aboard a ship and started off to France, where they their attention. That pleased them, because they were aching for a scrap. Apropos of this incident, the cities of Egypt provided the authorities a lot of anguish during the war. There was more viciousness to the square inch in the underworld of Port Said, for ex- ample, than could be found in a score of Western citles. Port Said wasn't called the “Sink hole of the East” for nothing. It wasn't merely ordinary immorality—if one may be permitted the expression—but downright filth that permeated the underworld. ‘When I was in Egypt, not long after the Aussie show, I found that a rigid military regime was keeping troops away from these evils.
