It is a popular idea that little girls’ clothes are a great deal easier to make successfully than clothes for grown-ups. ‘To be sure, less material is used and seams are shorter. There !s actually less sewing. But I feel convinced that { A POPULAR TYPE OF ENSEMBLE FOR THE YOUNGER GIRL CON- SISTS OF PLAID GINGHAM WITH A LINEN COAT. the home dressmaker more often bun- gles in making little girls' clothes than clothes for herself. Making really at- tractive little girls’ frocks and coats is, forsooth, a highly specialized branch of dressmaking. If a frock you make for yourself— in spite of Your best efforts—bunches a trific here or loops a little there, you can sometimes arrange a brooch or an artificial flower in such a way the little girl's frock either looks right or it doesn’t. There is nothing to be done about it if it doesn’t. If the neck- | line is not becoming. you cannot de- Ipend on a choker or necklace to make | things right, because you know per- fectly well that little girls ought not to wear jewelry save of the very simplest, most inconspicuous sort. If your own frock turns out not to | be of an especially becoming color, you can make amends by using a shade of | rouge or powder that overcomes the difficulty. And because that is obvi- ously out of the question with children, you should choose colors and shades for them with especial care. Nothing is further from the truth than the statement often made by mothers that any little girl with bright eyes and a healthy glow of color in her cheeks can wear any color. It is not even true that all little girls look well in pure white. Navy blue this Spring is frequently brightened ~ with a complementary touch of bright red. Soft shades of green—like leaf green—are chosen for some of the new coats to be worn with matching hats. Soft shades of blue are also in evidence. An outstanding fash- jon for warmer weather will be the ensemble of linen and gingham. In reply to the request of a number | of readers who have asked for an apron pattern, I have for you this week a sketch and diagram for a trim little back and front apron that is most easy to make. If you would like a copy, please send me your stamped, 'self- addressed envelope, and I will send it to you at once. (Copyright, 1929.)

Gentlemen of the Bar of Nashville and of the Bar Association: I am like the old Baptist preacher who was un- prepared. He opened his mouth and trusted in God to fill it. (Laughter.) It would be a great pleasure for me if, when we look back at the distin- guished bar that Tennessee has been honored with, I could see upon these walls the portraits of the lamented Felix Grundy, of Ephram H. Foster, William L. Brown, Bane Peyton, of Crab, of Haynes, of John Bell, and that great galaxy of talent that has never been excelled at any bar in these United States, ‘There never was a revolution, there never was a lick struck for liberty, for the cutting down of the prerogative of kingly power, the oppression of the people, but the members of the bar were leaders in the great work. You belong to a noble avocation; you have the example of those great men running down the tide of time to emulate, to admire. It was Cicero’s great fire that burned on the forum and in the Senate at Rome; it was his fire that drove the traitor Cataline from Rome, and the infamous Claudius; it was the sacred fire of Demosthenes that aroused Athens; it was the elo- quence of Philip that nerved Leonidas and his 300 followers at Thermopylae for the salvation of their country; it was a lawyer, when the apostles be- came alarmed and dispersed in the gar- den and deserted the blessed Messiah, that stood firm, his heart swelling with indignation at the treatment of Christ on Calvary amid the Roman bayonets, and then took down our Savior, dressed him in linen and embalmed him in the sepulcher; it was the lawyers of Eng- Jand that rose up against the tyranny of the Tudors, the Stuarts and the Lancasters, and aroused the English to arms; it was Shrewsbury and Lord Bolingbroke who put William «nd Mary on the throne in 1688. ‘When George the Third sought to oppress the colonies of America James Otis rose up and made a great speech | against the bill of assessments. Old John Adams czught the fire of Otis. ‘The ball wa: t in motion in Massa- chusetts and’ broyght out the cele- brated speech of Patrick Henry, the great natural orator, in the Virginia | House of Burgesses, Otis was an argumeniative man, and when he ceased to speak his hearers became dissatisfied. He could strike chords of the heart that moved his audience. It was a different kind of oratory from that of Henry. Otis was a beautiful, placid river, that ran along the lawns, ki jue the grasses as s waters passed along; but Patrick Henry was on of those mountain streams which come rushing, roaring, frothing, thundering down the mountain—and he just knocked them into a cocked hat i (Loud, prolonged and e laughter.)

Old Andy Jackson blazed his way with John Overton, McNany, John Howard and others. They were the founders of the law in Tennessce.

In a number of cases in various juris- dictions appeals have been taken to the highest trubunal complaining that ver- dicts awarded by the juries were ex- cessive and should be reduced. In the following cases the courts have held that the damages awarded were just and not excessive. (a) Verdict of $95,000 for death of dealer in automobile accessories; de- ceased, killed in an accident, had a life "expectancy of 31 years, had been earning on the average $24,000 a year during four years prior to his death. (b) Verdict of $30,000 to widow and child. of carpenter; deceased, killed in an accident, had life expectancy of 31 yers, was a college graduate earning $375 a month; was ambitious, eco- nomical and a good husband; was help- ing a brother and sister through school. (c) Verdict of $20,000 to widow and child of a carpenter; decedent, killed in an accident, was earning $125 a month; he was economical and spent most of his wages on wife and child, (d) Verdict of $20,000 to daugh- ter of an electrician killed in an acci- dent; he was a stiong, robust, indus- trious man, about 34 years of age: life expectancy 32 years; earned $140 a month at time of death; was a devoted father. ‘The counselor: The courts hold that inasmuch as the assessment of damages is peculiar- ly within the province of the jury, a 1 verdict should seldom be disturbed upon the ground that the damages awarded 1 are excessive, if the evidence relating i to such damage was fairly conflicting.

CRAIG. | March 13, 1872.—The joint commit- | { tee's report on legislation to encourage | manufacturing in the District of Co- lumbia is available today. A resolution | offered recently requests the dell‘gntri | representing the District in Congress to’ introduce a bill to further manufactur- ing in the District and to authorize the | | District to lend its credit to manufac- | turing interests. This resolution has | been under discussion before the com- | mittee. Another resolution provides, in part, “that, recognizing the great importance of doing anything in our power to aid {in developing the material interests of the District, we declare our purpose, as soon as practical and before the next session of the legislative assembly, to sit as many of the manufacturing towns of the country as our limited means will permit, for the purpose of consultation with skilled mechanics and manufacturers,” so the District men may, in their own persons, an- nounce to them the “superior advan- tages of the District of Columbia for manufacturing purposes and represent {to them the universal and earnest de- | sire of our citizens to co-operate liber- ally with all in developing in the Dis- trict the mechanical and manufacturing industries of the country.” Mr. Eaton read a letter from Col. Thomas A. Scott to the effect that the | Baltimore & Potomac Railroad Co. pro- posed to establish its machine shops in | this city, and it was announced by an- | other committee member that Mr. Scott intended to transfer a large amount of cotton to this point for shipment, which | would have the effect of making Wash- | ington a prominent cotton market. H Mr. Castleman, a lime manufacturer ; of Georgetown, has made a statement relative to the quarry owned by him and other gentlemen in the vicinity of | Aquia Creek, Va., which he says can produce slate at a price which would | greatly reduce the cost of building op- erations in the District of Columbia. The joint committee has been invited by Mr. Castleman to visit this quarry and see it for themselves. Home in Good -Taste BY SARA HILAND, A slipper chair is quite an important plece of furniture for the bedroom. If you are tall and thin, the process of reaching down to your feet brings forth groans, and if you are short and not so slender a few uncomfortable puffs ac- company the reach. So, regardless of your build, you will appreciate a nice low chair to make the putting om of your shoes an easy task. 4 Illustrated is an ideal type of chair for this purpose, made along the same lines as a regulation-sized one, but with very much shorter legs. ‘The woodwork of this chair may be finished to match the rest of the furni- ture in the room, and the upholstery may match the other chalrs or the draperies. Chintz, brocade, armure, or any mate- rial with a small design is lpprupflibel for this chair, but it should not be put on in slip cover fashion. The shape of the back will not allow for this type of covering. Either a pleated ruffie or a fringed trimming may be used to finish the edge of the seat. (Copyright, 1929.) Your Baby and Mine MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Sickness comes to all of us at some time or other. The very, very sick child represents a small problem. He demands little attention. He is too sick to care for it. It is the days of his conva- lescence that are trying. He must be wheedled into wanting the food that will build him up again. He grows tired of holding toys. He grows tired of everything. His mother, relieved of her anxiety, is apt to become irritable, too. It is a trying period. There are dangers in the convales- cent period that do not always appear until afterward. If the child is one who has had little attention in his life- time, this exaggerated concern for his welfare, this family effort to please him and wait upon him is too pleasant an experience to relinquish. He wants to remain in the role of an invalid be- cause this role is proving immensely satisfactory to him. If the mother has been a constant attendant at his bedside, he is llable to develop strange ailments when she disappears, in order that she may be brought back again. Unless this at- tention is tapered off gradually, the child will use the knowledge he has gained during his illness in order to command attention at will. He knows if he says, “I believe I have a little sore throat,” that he will be put to bed and coddled. No child is above using such methods of obtaining attention, and, in really exaggerated cases, & mother can date” the beginnings of behavior troubles from the time of some serious illness, when the child was showered and swamped with the combined cour- tesies of the family. It behooves the mother, then, to be- gin as soon as the child shows improve- ment and lead him gently back to in- dependence again. She must leave him alone to amuse himself for periods in the day. She must encourage in him the belief that now, since he is getting bet- ter, he must consider again other per- sons besides himself, and cease useless demands upon their time. If the mother does this the child will soon be eager to be about again. He will see that there is more satisfaction o be gained from activity and independence than in inactivity and being a leaner. He can learn this only if the parent, when he is healthy, gives him enough ‘atten- tion so_that he never learns through illness the attractions of being the cen- ter of the family stage.

HEY smiled a little shyly into each other's eyes. “Been a beautiful day, hasn't it!"” remarked the girl. “Beautiful!” he agreed, his ad- miring gaze on her. She blushed and looked out into the mellow twilight. Street cars were flash- ing back and forth, like beads on an in- visible wire, and along the sidewalk a thousand people were drifting home- ward. They ate their dinner quickly, but they liked to loiter over their coffee, and usually there were many jests be- tween them and low laughter. Tonight, however, Jim Reyburn sat staring into space. The girl regarded him solicitously. “Worried about something?” SN=ng——= . Her gentle eyes, fixed on him, were ir- resistibly compelling. “It's only——" he began. “You've heard me speak of my widowed sister, Irene. She's written that she and her two children are coming to live with me. She was going to marry again—a rich fellow back home—but that's of it seems. I—I was just thinking. I be mighty glad to have them, of course The shadow in his eyes deepened. “Oh—" Jean's eyes opened wide. He thought a great deal of this fine lady sister of his, formerly rich, but now penniless. Jean needed no hint as to where his difficulty lay. She knew, to a penny, the amount of his salary—didn't they often joke over its meagerness! “Oh,” she repeated, aghast. ‘There was protectiveness in the glance she gave him. It took in his clothes, spotless and beautifully pressed, by him- self, but so worn. She could have wept. “He's just & boy,” she said to herself resentfully. “Out of college only last year, and had to work his way through, He'll earn enough in time, but our firm is slow about promotions and he’s so inexperienced yet.” Delicately she probed! . “Your sister may find it a little lone- ly here. I imagine she'd enjoy taking up some kind of work that's interest- n;lg and nice and er—remunerative be- Fr “No.” He shook his head firmly. But his eyes were bleak, “In another year or so I-—but right now——" He checked himself and drew back in proud reserve. Determination was beginning to flame up within the girl. Jim Reyburn should not feel badly about anything; not if she could help it. They were too good friends! ‘With studied casualness she remarked: “They say the prices of things are com-~ ing down now, for rent, food every- thing.” “A man—any man—on even the Smallesi salary,” her tone was airy “could support a family easily now. Of course, one would have to—what d'you | call t>—make a budget, you kn Here, lel's figure it out, just for fun! She picked up the soiled bill of fare on the table and turned it over. “Now,” giving him a bright look, “a very tiny flat would be——" She put down some figures after a moment’s study. Jim Rayburn flushed a little, but tried to appear only amused. “Light!"” More figur “Furniture!” She pressed the end of the pencil against her red warm lips thoughtfully, “I've lots of things I'm paying storage on. It'd be a favor if any one'd use them. “No——" curtly, then checked him- self. He thrust his hands deep into his pockets and leaned back in his chair, teasing eyes on her. But in his heart he wad thinking “Nice girl—real little friend “Now, food!” Jean went on deter- minedly. “It's,cheap when prepared at home! delicious food, too.” Her gaze swept, the dingy restaurant scornfully. “Does your sister know how to cook?" “No—No—I imagine not.” “Well, she'll learn. ‘It's lots of fun. She'll like it.” More figures went down on the pa- per and when at last she added the list, they stared at the total. “Why—" she exclaimed, “you must pay nearly that just for yourself.” He nodded. But still incredulous, he had to verify her figures. Triumphant- 1y they looked at each other. 'DELIVERED OVEN-FRESH TWICE DAILY TOYOUR DEALER ES STURDY APPEFITES ‘The waiter approached, but at sight of their faces he retreated to the shad- owed rear of the restaurant and leaned against the coffee-boiler, suddenly faint with loneliness for his young wife and | baby over in Hungary. Jim started “C-clothe Jean hesitated for an instant. “Well, put down what your own would av- erage.” “But a girl needs a lot of things!” “On, clothes!” vaguely, “How much,” earnestly, leaning for- ard, “would be the least, not what he should have, but,” he stammered, “what she could get along with? It wouldn't be for long. In another year T'll get into the sales department, with more pay. How much, Jean?” His voice broke oddly. “Almost nothing!” she breathed. “A girl could always make over things, you knu\:i. It wouldn't be—hardly anything at all!” S He reached over and took her hands. The long_moment was tremulous with ecstasy. But Irene! They had forgot- ten her! At the memory, they were stricken. “Jean!"” in his voice. = The girl turned unseeing eyes upon the little “budget” before her. Her trembling hands clutched together in her lap. Jim shifted his eyes miserably from her face. “God!” he breathed, con- fronting an endless future with Irene and her fatherless children needing his money. Silently thay left the shabby little restaurant. There seemed to be noth- ing to say, but at a crowded corner he slipped a protective hand under her arm, and the little movement was like a caress. . Up in her hall bedroom on the third floor of the rooming house where they both lived, Jean flung herself on her bad and. lay there, wracked with pain, desolation. She couldn't face the empty future! She'd rather be dead! The tense muscles of her throat tortured her; there where her heart was some- thing hurt, and hurt! The slam of the door below her own reached her ears, and a tap came at her door. “Jean!” called Jim softly. “Come out —over to the park!” ‘They went down the dusty, red-car- peted stairs and in the park found a vacant bench. “Jean!” his voice husky. “I've just got word. Irene married that fellow back home today. She’s not coming.” “Oh—oh” she looked up at him. “You and I—-" He faltered. “Will you? Darling! Sweetheart!” THE END.

Spinach, potatoes, peas, asparagus and carrots make an attractive platter on account of the colors. Prepare all the vegetables, ex- cept the potatoes, cooking in as little water as possible. The potatoes may be left over, diced and heated in cream sauce while the other vegetables are cooking. Carrots when cooking require a tablespoonful of butter to each cup- ful of seasoning and a generous sprin- kling of paprika, Asparagus needs a seasoning of butter and lemon juice.

Here she was, trying to follow a recipe in the magazine for coffee cake. It had sounded so deli- clous when she read it, but she sorely needed Nancy's help. Antl Nancy was sojourning in the South. She read it over more carefully. The recipe called for dry yeast and she had compressed or loose yeast which was moist and not compressed. What difference should she make in her recipe? She compared other directions and decided that the ingredients were the same. It was the | length of time required to get the dry yeast growing which differed. Com- pressed yeast begins to bubble in two or three minutes, while dry takes any- where from one to four hours. Here s the recipe she used: One cupful boiling water, one yeast cake, three cupfuls flour, one-quarter cupful sugar, one teaspoonful salt, four tablespoonfuls shortening, one egg. All ingredients were measured level. Flour is sifted before measuring, then meas- ured and sifted. Boil water and cool to lukewarm. Break yeast cake in small pieces, add one teaspoonful sugar, one-quarter cupful lukewarm water. When bubbling, add to cooled water.| Put in flour mixed with sugar and salt. Beat until smooth. Cover and set in warm place to rise. When double in bulk and egg, beat well. Pat out on floured 'board to thin sheet. Sprea with one cupful stoned and chopped prunes, one-third cupful chopped nuts, one-quarter cupful brown sugar, two tablespoonfuls butter. Roll like a jelly roll. Brush with melted butter, twist like rope and join ends to make ring. Let rise in warm place for half an hour. Bake 25 minutes in moderate | oven (375). What will you drink with your coffee cake?

Most of the women who write to me about dyeing their hair make it very clear that while they would like their hair colored they do not wish to run any risk of dye-poisoning. Many of these correspondents want to use henna dyes, under the impression that such preparations are purely vegetable prod- ucts. They ask me what shades to se- lect. The only shade of henna that is pure and perfectly harmless is the red Egyptian henna. The compound henna dyes that come in a wide variety of shades are really metallic and not true vegetable dyes. Frequently there is only enough henna in them to entitle the | manufacturers to use the word on the labels. Of course, if a woman wishes to color her hair with a metallic dye, that is her own business, but she should not do so under a misapprehension. How to apply a henna pack is another question that is often asked by readers of this column. It is a rather messy rocess, and results cannot be predicted with perfect certainty. The depth of the resulting color depends on the time the pack is left on and also upon the tex- ture of the hair ‘itself. Take half a pound of the pure Egyptian henna and mix it 40 a thick paste with water in an enamel bowl. Thin the mixture with boiling water, then put it on the fire in a double boiler for 10 or 15 minutes, When the dye is taken off the stove the juice of half a lemon may be added. The hair should be shampooed and dried before the henna paste is applied, and rubber gloves should be worn dur- | ing the coloring process. After the hair has been treated with the dye the head should be bound up in a towel for 15 or 30 minutes before the hair is sham- pooed again. Egyptian henna should not be used on very light hair, or on white or gray shades, since the resulting hue is an unnatural orange or pink. Of course, it should never be used over a chemical dye or on an overbleached head of hair. The henna colors, the hair by coating it with a layer of the mixture, much as one paints a barn by applying & coat of whitewash. There are other types of hair dyes that penetrate beneath the outer surface of the hair shafts and color the under layer. The difference between the henna pack and the henna rinse should be understood. The former is a dye of the consistency of whipped cream. The rinse is a liquid made by dissolving four tablespoonfuls of the Egyptian henna powder in a quart of hot water. The henna liquid should be poured over the hair several times with an enamel dip- per and caught in a china bowl as it runs off the ends. The final rinse may be left on about 10 minutes, then rinsed off in warm water. The shampoo fol- lows. Henna rinses are used to brighten, not dye, the hair. (Copyrisht, 1920.) PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. Foods. Another good reason why we should use the terms cri and never the term cold is that there are so many other factors than the debatable one of cold and wet that may cause the symptoms of coryza, and if one is so dumb and unconcerned as to assume at the outset that the coryza is a “cold,” there isn't much chance of a real diagnosis being made. Where the trouble happens to be | from some particular item of food, for example, it may be a great relief to discover that it isn’t from the weather or a draft, after all. A German complained of symptoms of hay fever which had developed since he came to the United States five years ago. In Germany he had had similar symptoms, but of short duration, whenever he ate herring. On skin scratch test he proved sensitive to rag- weed pollen and hickory pollen. In- variably when he ate herring he suf- fered from a severe spell of sneezing, stuffed nostrils and coryza. A young woman complained of hay fever which had recurred in May in the last six years, and became woree each September. She proved sensitive to oak, ragweed and some of the grasses. But she also suffered from coryza in the Winter time (when hay fever positively cannot happen), and this proved to be due to eating choco- ride on the fender of the delivery truck without holdin’ to anything.’ LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE.
