Gay Rainy-Day f;\ccessories BY MARY March winds and April showers bring forth May flowers and also a crop of Spring raincoats, umbrellas and other Tainy-day accessories that nowadays BPRING RAINCOAT IS MADE OF WATERPROOF NAVY BLUE CREPE DE CHINE AND LINED WITH GRAY KASHA.

Even {if they are of dark or dull color- ing, they are nothing to make a woman sigh twice—once for the inconvenience of the rain and once for the fact that she has to wear dowdy and uninterest- ing rainy-day clothes. In Paris the favorite type of Spring Taincoat is of colored crepe de chine lined with light-weight woolen mate- BEAUTY CHATS Brightening the Hair. T know nothing uglier than limp and dull looking hair. There is no excuse for it these days, because limp hair can be cropped short, either to a boyish bob, with the hair fluffed about 2 or 3 inches long all around the head, or else kept slightly longer and pushed behind the ears. If it is very limp, it will simply !: sleekly around the outline of the ad and show it off nicely. As for the boyish bob being out, it is ot so much out as it was a few months ®go. Several Paris houses have brought out charming models in three-piece suits, the blouse being a mannish tuck- in sort of shirt, which looks well with the shortest crop. And there are indi- MARSHALL. tial, which makes the garment warm | enough even when worn over a thin frock.: The French idea seems to be to | disguie raincoats as much as possible— | to keep up the illusion that the sun is shining and skies are blue even when heaveris meet earth in penetrating rain and mist. “Sunny France” must not seem like a misnomer. So from France come all sorts of little contrivances to make light of rainy days—umbrellas | that feld up so that they may be car- ried in a handbag, and waterproofed | materials of all sorts. The :idea in this country—especially among: the younger generation—seems to be to tace the issue squarely and candidly. They have no objection to wearing a raincoat that is a raincoat and could not by any stretch of the im- | agination be mistaken for anything but |a raincoat. They realize that with their slender, straight young bodies they look decidedly fit and swagger in this type of garment. And just a word in passing about the new tuck-in blouses. At Cannes and other Erench resorts they are wearing them of linen or cotton material actu- ally starched. But don't, unless you want to seem very old-fashioned, call | them skirt waists, although they do re- semble very closely the garments that were generally so designated some years ago. Call them shirt-blouses, but not shirt waists. It is really amazing to see how much more becoming a dark silk or woolen frock becomes when you dress it up with one of the new light lingerie lace or chiffon collars. As you know, the French dressmakers are using accessory collars much more at present than they | have for some time. This week I have ready for you a diagram pattern of the new panel collar that dresses up a plain frock in a most gratifying man- ner. If you would like a copy of this pattern with working directions and a sketch of the collar as actually worn, please send me your stamped, self- addressed envelope and I will be glad to send it to you.

Constant: Reader: As a red nose comes so frequently from poor elimina- tion, it is best to try a remedy for that first. Tight bands and restrictions from spectacles or other eyeglasses have been known to cause a red nose, but these causes are 50 easily corrected that you would get relief whenever you remove the pressure.

Dyed hair, even hen- naed hair, cannot be waved in this way, ‘but for most it has been a good inven- tion. And even the water wave, trou- blesome as it is sometimes, has its Bdvantages. 3 For brightening the hair use the ordi- nary Egyptian henna, which comes in powder form by the ounce at every drug store.

To make your skin firm, try an ice rub after you have re- laxed the gores through massage or bathing with very warm water. Very cold water is a fair substitute for the ice, and this should be used as a last rinsf at all times after bathing face and neck. Any astringent, even so simple a one as witch-hazel, tends to make the skin very dry, so it is best to tone the skin as I have suggested rather than to re- sort to any: astringent ‘except when actually needed. Cream or oil should be given the £kin to counteract the dry- ing effect when you have depleted it by an astringent. OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRL The Cause. Parents are often troubled by poor | habits in their children. A mother hates to see her daughter’s finger nails bitten to the quick, the finger ends dulled and stubby, and the helpless, far- away expression on the child’s face as she gnaws her nails strikes fear to the mother’s heart. Why can’t that child stop biting her nails? But while the mother asks the ques- tion she is not usually deeply concerned about the answer. What she wants is to have the nails let alone, to have them polished and rounded and beauti- ful, to have her daughter’s hands look like those of a well groomed child. | M(:(]?" is ashamed of those ill-looking nails. | A course of treatment begins. Mother instructs the child on the care of her | hands. She teaches her how to care | for them and how to use them. She is willing to keep records, to attend the nails herself, to reward and punish and suggest. But rarely, rarely is she will- ing to search earnestly for the reason underlying this unpleasant habit. I do not know what it is. But I am almost cnovinced that it is due to some trouble in the spirit of the child. Some- thing has gone wrong. Perhaps some fear is at work. Perhaps the child has some hidden anxiety. It may be that the nails are sore or irritated. It may be that the child is lonely and seeks comfort from the warm finger held in her mouth. Why does the child fear? Why is she lonely? Why does she need to bite her nails? I wish I knew the answer. but I don’t. It differs with each child and I can only say that when the cause is found the effect will cease. A busy, happy child does not bite the nails. If there is trouble with the ugly habit try not to attack it directly. It is better to present the child with a manicure set, to keep always before him the ex- ample of well kept hands, to keep ad- miring the well kept hands of other people, to keep pointing them out. The idea is to get the child to wish to have good nails. Once a child wishes to do something he 1s well on the way toward doing it. Such a wish is always at the root of action. Before he bit his nails the child wished to bite them. When he wishes just as strongly not to bite them he will stop. But you can't drive a child to wish deeply. That is something he does of his own accord or he does not do it at all. The reason one must search for the cause of any poor habit lies there. If you can show a child why he wishes to do something that is not good, and he accepts your proof, he wishes to do the other thing and does it. So search for the cause of the little girl's badly treated hands, for the cause of the boy’s stubby finger ends, show them what is going wrong within them and they will do ‘the rest. But force won't help. Not a bit. Suggestion, ex- ample, loving thought will open the way. (Copyricht, 1929.)

March 21, 1863.—A public meeting was held tonight at the new rooms of the Union League, on Ninth street near E street. It was very largely attended by an enthusiastic audience. Former Gov. Bibb of Ohio occupied the chair and delivered a few opening remarks in explanation of the purpose of the leagues organized in this and other places. He began by saying that the organization of the Union Leagues in other parts of the country had greatly helped the cause of the Nation in this supreme_crisis. “In the Revolution,” said ex-Gov. Bibb, “there were only a few thousand men under arms, while now more than a million men are engaged.” ‘What were the armies of Greece, or of France, to be compared with ours? | he asked. He next alluded to the “Cop- perheads,” by which name the Southern sympathizers in the North have come to be known. He declared that they were “breeding mischief among the loyal people of the North.” “They are beginning to be known." he continued, “and the league is in- tended to put them down. The greatest punishment they can get would be to have their names handed down to pos- terity in infamy, so that the names of their children’s children would be blackened for all coming time.” After thus paying his respects to the “Copperheads” in the North, former Gov. Bibb told of the work that is being done by Union Leagues in the States. including New York, where they are in successful operation in every ward of New York City; Pennsylvania, Mary- land, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. In fact, he said, there is not a Northern or loyal community in whizh they were not to be found at work. These leagues, he declared, are every- where “purifying the country” by drag- ging into the light so that everybody can see them the men who are not loyal to the Federal Government. “Everything is now bright,” went on | ex-Gov. Bibb. “The Army of the Po- | tomac is now under ‘Fighting Joe Hooker and is not to be held back any | longer. It is not now McClellan and e A Buell, but Joe Hooker and Rosecrans s & il (al — t] - ‘o Strong and Silent | among the rime and sleet; with frozen | R ) e e = ears and frozel se he walks on | ‘i ‘The strong and silent man BppearSi frozen feet.

MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS Coiffure for Slender Face. | Dear Miss Leeds: (1) My face is slen- der. Iam a brunette and wear my hair parted high on the right. What fort | of bob is becoming to my type? (2) I am 18 years old, 5 fect 2 inches tall and weigh 94 pounds. What should I| weigh and what should I do to gain| weight? GEORGIA B. Answer — (1) A coiffure with long| bangs or a low side would be be- coming, I think. H. ur hair waved | and cut short enough to show the lobes | of your ears. Do not let your hair curl forward on your cheeks, as that would make your face seem thinner. (2) You | are about 20 pounds below the average weight for your age and height. In| order to gain weight you should pay | careful attention to your diet. Begin | the day with a_hearty breakfast, have | a_ substantial luncheon and dinner. | Drink a glassful of milk at each meal | and again before you go to bed. Here are a few menu suggestions for you: | Breakfast, dish of stewed figs, an orange oatmeal with cream and | and butter, soft-boiled egg, | m malted milk. Lunch, a | large bowl of cream of pea soup with | oyster crackers, cheese souffle or toast- ed cheese sandwich, apple-raisin-nut | salad with mayonnaise, bread pudding, | glass of milk. Dinner, cream of potato | soup, meat or fowl or fish, potatoes or rice, peas or lima beans, carrots, vege- table gelatin salad with mayonnaise, rolls and butter, cornstarch pudding with sliced fruit in season or with ber- | ries, glass of milk. Sleep nine hours | each night. Spend at leas Tours | out in the fresh air every day. It would be a good plan for you to have a phys- | ical examination by a doctor and his advice on gaining weight. 7t may be that diseased tonsils or bad teeth are keeping you thin. LOIS LEEDS.

No matter how late your lunch hour they won’t be limp and tired, or dried up and crumbly. The firm, moist crumb of Rice’s Bread keeps its creamy consistency and appetizing flavor. The loaf is such a convenient shape and the golden crust so tender, that sandwiches look well even with crusts left on. You can slice it paper thin while it is still oven-fresh, too. Fresh, rich milk and extra shortening, slow baking clear through in the famous split-top loaf give Rice’s Bread the deliciously different flavor that makes it so marvelous, not only for toast and plain bread-and-butter but for sand- wiches. All the familiar bread dishes, too, have a new richer flavor when you use Rice’s for them. Try it for brown betty, canapes, crumb griddle cakes, French toast, or bread pudding.
