'"WOMAN’S PAGE.” Advantages in BY MARY ‘There is something decidedly attrac- tive about these new silk suits. They have certain advantages over the wool- en suit to most American women. In most sections of this broad land of ours there is so little real Spring weather when the warmth of a light ‘woolen Spring suit would be acceptable. Besides, American women like to wear BIMPLICITY WITH DECIDED SMARTNESS ACHIEVED BY SUIT OF NAVY BLUE SILK CREPE ‘WORN WITH WHITE CREPE DE CHINE BLOUSE AND NAVY BLUE !!‘lAAg: ‘WHITE FLOWER OVER ONE really warm coats so long as the air is chilly. Either they are colder blooded—as the result of their very ‘warm, steam-heated rooms—or else they don't enjoy shivering as much as English and French women do.

New Silk Suits MARSHALL. being light enough to be comfortable in really warm weather, and so for the woman who has a strictly limited dress allowance it is a better invest- ment than the woolen suit that may be worn with comfort only a few weeks. Green and yellow seem to be a favorite color combination this Spring. One new silk suit is made of yellow and green silk with three-quarter- length coat, pleated and all-yellow blouse. Another is of greenish-yellow rough silk lined with jade green and worn with a blouse of the same color. A rose-red silk is worn with a pink blouse, and orchid is combined with violet in another. Some of the new two-plece suits of rough silks are made so that they may be laundered. This gives them another advantage over the light-weight woolen suit, espe- cially for sports and country wear. ‘The model shown in the sketch is of navy blue—more appropriate then the lighter tones for town wear. Frocks must be becoming this Spring as well as smart. and to achieve this necessary becomingness the French dressmakers are again making use of collars of lace, lingerie or chiffon. This week’s Help for the Home Dress- maker gives a diagram and sketch of one of the panel collars so admirably suited for refurbishing a last season’s frock.

D. C, Today in Washington: History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. March 18, 1864.—The Patent Office was jammed with people ‘tonight on the occasion of the closing of the grand pa- triotic fair to raise money for the bene- fit of the families of the Union soldiers. Thg arrival of President Lincoln and Mrs. Lincoln and the President's speech were the principal events of the eve- ning, although there were many other distinguished and popular men present. The President and his wife were greeted with tremondous cheers when they en- tered the hall. An enthusiastic welcome was also given to Gen. Sickles, who hobbled through the room on_crutches. After the President and his party were conducted to the platform, the crowd surged in that direction so heavily that there was a succession of little screams from the young ladies who were caught in the jam, and considerable angry expostulations from the olderly women whose corns suffered in the press of people. g Gen. Sickles’ spoke briefly, and was followed by President Lincoln. Mr. Lin- coln came forward on the platform amid a burst of enthusiastic applause. “The extraordinary war in which we sre engaged,” said President Lincoln, “falls heavily upon all classes of people, but the most heavily upon the soldier. For it has been said that all a man hath he will give for his life, and while all contribute of their substance, the soldier up in this country’s cause. merit, then, is due to the soldier.” At this point in the President’s ad- dress, he was interrupted by renewed cheering. The President then referred to the and continued: language of eulogy. I have never studied the art of paying compliments to women, but I must say that if all that has been said by orators and poets since the creation of the world in praise of women were applied to the women of America it would not do them justice for their conduct in the war. I will close by saying God bless the women of America!” Mayor French stated at the close of the evening that the fair had realized all that could have been anticipated for the benefit of the soldiers’ families, and that the ladies and all others concerned had exerted themselves to the utmost to make it a success.

If you have the money you should go to a chiropodist twice a year just as you go to your dentist twice a year; but once every six months is not enough to keep the feet in really comfortable condition, so I advise you to learn how to give yourself the following very sim- ple, once-a-month treatment. It is easiest to do this after your bath, for then the feet have been soak- ing a certain length of time in warm soapy water; otherwise you'll have to them. Take a corn knife, which you can purchase at any drug store; or, if you can manage it, take a safety razor blade and go over the callous parts of the skin. There will probably be real or growing corns on each litfle toe. This is nothing but hard skin and can be shaved off with your knife. Only the top dead layers of skin should be taken off, for the pain comes from the pressure of this dead skin on the like skin and the nerves beneath. There may be other hard spots of skin, and these should be shaved off at the same time, and the place should always be rubbed with cold cream. ‘The toenails should be.cleaned under with a regular file, such as is used on the finger nails. The corners most par- ticularly should be cleaned out, espe- cially around the big toe nails, where so much lint from the stockings col- lects. ‘The nails should be cut quite short, especially the big toe nails, which should always be trimmed so they are shorter in the center than at the sides. If this is done the tendency is for the nails to draw the sides up out of the flesh, and glwul ingrowing nails are thus avoided. 1 have found it to be a wise thing to soak the feet in hot soapy water and then remove all the dead skin from John T.

OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRL ‘What Then? The teacher looked over Henry's work and shook her head. “Dear, dear, this she made out his report and wrote across it, in red ink, “Lazy.” Now Henry's father and mother were greatly disturbed about this, so they talked to the teacher about 1t, and she sald, “The trouble with Henry is that he is lazy. But perhaps you'd better take him to the doctor.” So they took Henry to the doctor. ‘The wise man listened to the story the parents told, and then he said, “The trouble with Henry is that he is adolescent. But perhaps you'd better take him fo the psychologist.” So they took Henry to the psychologist. ‘The learned psychologist listened to the story and asked some questions about Henry's grandfather and great- grandfathers and then he said, “The trouble with, Henry is that he is intro- verted, He looks toward himself too much. But maybe you'd better take him to the best school teacher you can find and see what he says about him.” So_the father and mother, much troubled, took Henry back to the school again and asked the principal what was to be done with Henry. “The teacher says he is lazy and the doctor says he is adolescent and the psycholo- gist says he is introverted. But here is }zgnry. What is to be done with The principal of the school, having seen many Henrys, said: “What fis wrong with Henry is that he is grow- ing up and that's trouble enough for any boy. He is lazy? That may mean anything. I imagine that it means the classroom is too warm, that he hasn't enough moving about to keep his cir- culation up to the mark, hasn't enough air circulating about his body. Too much clothing and not enough moving about. Too much food maybe. We'll have to look into his diet. “And how about sleep? This lad needs to sleep 10 hours a day. And how about play? Does he get a chance to play hard in the open air for two or three hours a day? And has he an hour or two to do nothing at all, if he chooses? That he must have, too. And a couple of jobs that he has to do whether he likes to or not? That he must have also. “Does he have good water to drink and does he drink it? Air and water and food and sleep and work and play in the right quantities will cure any boy of laziness. Laziness doesn't mean a thing except that somebody has noticed . that the boy—or the girl— isn't hapfigy busy. All healthy chil- dren are happily busy. “‘Adolescence isn't a disease, and it isn't something that comes on sud- denly. He has been growing adolescent for several years and more. And being introverted means he is selfish, self- centered, self-bound. He has to be shown the way to the outer world, and he, benig normally healthy, will do the rest himself.” Naming a child’s trouble won't cure it, but it may show you the way to help the youngster over a hard place. After putting a label on the difficulty, do something about it. (Copyright, 1929.) - Coffee Cream Pie.

Howe is an American writer some- of Potato Hill.” He Is the, author of ne Story of a Country Town.” " This story Is reprinted here by per- mission of the author.) In my neighborhood there ' lives & family named Grover—the mother and father and five little children. Whether Iam in my room at work or sitting on the porch, the Grover children are always in _evidence; since they are very active and all through the Summer play outdoors barefoot, which they regard as a great privilege, except when their mother pesters ‘them about washing their feet at night. Their mother does not believe in letting her children bother the neigh- bors, so they are always at home, and other children play with them. They are the most natural, human youngsters I ever knew and, as they are healthy, they are noisy from the time they get up in the morning until they go to bed at night. Because of my open windows I know everything they do or say. When I waken in the morning the roar in the Grover yard is going full tilt, but I only smile at it, because I am fond of the Grover children. If I see com- pany arrive at the Grover home I soon hear one of the children say to the mother: “Where are we going to tonight?” And next day I hear one of the Grover children put this question: “When are they going home?" . ‘The Grover child that interests me most is Charley, 7 years old. One morn- ing I noticed that Charley was in dis- grace. His mother had dressed him in girl's clothes to punish him. . This kept him in the house for a while, but soon he didn’t mind the girl's dress and played out in the yard, where he was forbidden to go. Then his mother took his ‘clothes off and thought that would keep him in the house, but in a little while he was out playing with the other children, naked. y this time I was much interested in Charley’s crime and made bold to 80 to the fence and ask Mrs. Grover what Charley had done. Charley had told a story. I recom- mended to Mrs. Grover that she wash Charley’s mouth with soap suds and let it go at that, but she thought it best to keep Charley in the house until his father came home, when a family council would be held and Charley’s fate decided Mrs. Grover told me of Charley's dis- grace. With some other boys he had gone to a pond in the neighborhocd and fallen in. When he returned home his mother asked him how his clothes became wet. And then Charley said he was up at his Aunt Hannah's and in getting a drink out of the well bucket had accidentally spilled some on his clothes. Charley had been warned not to go to the pond, and I feared it would go hard with him when his father came home. I have known Charley’s father all his life, and though a good, steady man now he was tougher as a boy than Charley is. You know how parents take on about a child who has told a story. ‘We all tell them. But how we are shocked if children are caught at it. We say a great big black man or.a policeman will get them. T asked Mrs. Grover to put Charley in my charge for half an hour, and, as she knows I like the chiidren, she let me have him, first putting his sister Maggie’s dress on him. Then I led him over to my porch and lectured him. “Charley.” I said, “I don't think it very wicked to tell a story, since I have told more of them probably than any other man in ‘the world, unless it is your father, who is coming home pres- ently to whip you.- But there is a reason why yvou shouldn't tell stories sleep and it is a very important one. Who told on you?” “Grandma Grove,” the boy replied. “There you are,” I said; ‘woman told on you. And I venture to say that within an hour After you told this story you were caught,” Charley corrected my figures—he was caught in 20 minutes. “That's the reason why you shouldn't tell stories—you are always caught and you are always caught promptly, The average with me has possibly been above 20 minutes, but I have always been caught. And it is usually the women whé tell on me. Women are more truthful than men and boys and they seem to take a special delight in catching them in stories. I know you didn’t like to worry your mother by ac- knowledging you had gone to the pond. ‘Women don't know knee-deep from over your head. “You couldn't have been drowned in that pond if the other boys had thrown you in and sat on you. You knew that, but your mother didn’t, so you should have told her the truth. You should always behave as well as possible, since that is really the easiest way, but above everything else don't tell stories. The reason I have already explained—you are always caught. Millions of boys are telling millions of whoppers every day, but every wretch is caught: if not by his grandmother then by his sisters; if not by his sisters, then by some woman in the neighborhood. Young as you are, you must have noticed the pleasure your mother, grandmother, sisters and the neighbor women take in catching you. But you will never know how a woman can actually enjoy herself until you marry and your wife begins catching you. Promise me you will never tell another and I'll do what I can to get you off. I see your father coming home to dinner.” ‘The boy promised and we went over to his father, whose name is George ‘Washington Grove, but people call him Wash. “Wash,” I said, “our friend Charley is in trouble. The women have caught him in a story and they are waiting for you to whip him. Of course, I kilow_you never. told one, and I con- fess I am myself greatly shocked at Charley’s conduct. But he promised me he will never tell another, and if you will let him off this time, I'll go on his bond.” “Well,” Wash said, “I'll go in and talk to mamma about it.” And he led the boy away. I knew mamma was all right, and in a few minutes Charley appeared in his own clothes. ‘The advice I gave Charley I give you. Don’t tell stories, because the women will always catch you. — Chicken Pot Pie. Cover one fowl. cut in joints with bolling water and let simmer until tender, then remove to a baking dish.

Remove the fat from the top of the broth if necessary before adding the thhkenl.ng. Pour this gravy over the fowl until it is nearly cover ed and reserve the rest to serve sep: rately. Sift together three times two cupfuls of flour, three level teaspoon- fuls of baking powder and half a t spoonful of salt. Into this work on fourth cupful of shortening and use milk or cream to make a dough less stiff than for biscuits.
