WOM AN’S PAGE. Hats and Trousers for Beach Wear BY MARY ‘There is every reason to believe that the fashion for sun-tanned skin will re- main with us—at least in this country— This in spite of the fact that visitors along the French Riviera report that the fash- fon is waning and that thick make-up is now used to protect the face from throughout thecoming Summer. the effects of too much sun.

To protect the legs from excessive burning and tanning, pajamas for beach wear first came into favor. It is not particularly pleasant to sit on a sandy beach when the skin of one’s legs has almost reached the blistering point. And this season there are long, wide trousers often made of gingham. A more comfortable garment for beach wear could hardly be imagined. In less than an hour you can put to- gether one of the new panel collars that are so helpful in adding a Becom- ing touch to a dark frock of silk or woolen material.

WASHINGTON DAYBOOK fea BY HERBERT “There is only one woman in the Unit- ed States authorized to sign the name of Herbert Hoover to public documents, and she never has met the President. Mrs. Viola B. Pugh is her name. She enjoys this unique privilege every day 1o the extent of some hundreds of sig- natures, Yet she doubts if she could, with certainty, pick out the President were she to see him in a crowd. Mrs. Pugh’s of- . ficial title is “Pres- ,1.1 ident’s secretary to | sign land patents.” | ~ When a person takes out a home- stead through the Government he pays an initial de- > posit, lives on the > Jand for . three years, and if he has satisfied all governmental re- quirements, he is given a patent sign- ed by the dent. ‘There was a time when the Presi- dent signed the atents himself. However, the number ecame so great that Andrew Jackson found himself overwhelmed with the task and turned it over to his secre- tary at the White House. The secretary in turn became overwhelmed, and in 1878 an appropriation was provided by Congress for the position that Mrs. Pugh now has. A woman was appointed to the position at that time, and women have filled it ever since. Mr. Harding appointed Mrs. Pugh to the office in August, 1921, and Mr. Cool- idge gave her the right to use his sig- nature when he became President. So far as is known, she will continue her gutlu during the Hoover administra- jon. She says that of all the signatures, Mr. Harding’s was the most difficult. ‘The w in the name and the two n's gave her considerable trouble. But since she signs them all in her own handwriting, she doesn't feel that there is any real difficulty involved. Mr. Harding is the only one of the men whose names she has signed that Mrs. Pugh has even seen. The late President received a visit one day from two women who introduced themselves as the persons who had used his signa- ture so often that they were curious to see the owner of that signature, The other woman was Mrs. Mabel P. Leroy, whom Mrs. Pugh succeeded. Mrs, Le- rc;i\]' now is recorder in the land patent cffice. ‘There are worse jobs in the world than being secretary to a United States Senator, one of these seldom-heard-of- gentlemen told the writer the other day. He had been with Senator —— 18 years on Capitol Hill. The Senator was not returned at the last election. ‘When the Seventieth Congress was over the secretary was called into the boss’ office. said the Senator, “I MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. Table Talk. One mother says: Instead of trying to distract the chil- dren’s minds from what they are eat- ing at the table, I encourage them to think with pleasure and interest of the many elements that make up @ dish.

The Library of Congress keeps a copy of the first edition of T. E. Lawrence’s “Revolt in the Desert” under lock and key, concealed from the eyes of the public. Why? Only the author and Herbert Putnam, librarian, know. This much, however, is known: It will not be shown publicly until a limited time, set by wrence, elapses. Much speculation has centered around this volume and the motive of the man who, by his writings, has made of Ara- bia a wonderland to many thousands of readers. Some cling to the belief that it is the famous 300,000-word edition, Presi- | but Putnam says no. According to the librarian, the secret edition differs very slightly from copies that may be ob- tained at any bookstore. He does ad- mit, however, that there may be some difference in its prefatory matter and in & few other details. The 300,000-word edition of “Revolt in the Desert,” so far as is known, never came to the United States. One story stolen from Lawrence at a rallway ste- tion, and that the short popular version is what the author wrote immediately thereafter. There is no legal tie that compels Putnam to keep this edition secret, but Lawrence’'s request will be respected. The author stated when he forwarded the book to the Library of Congress that the British Museum already had ex- tended him such a courtesy. Of the edition deposited in Wash- ington, only sufficient copies have been gtr‘tg:d to warrant issuance of a copy- ‘There is another treasure in the library that will not be available to the public for many years. Five or more strong boxes, containing what is ex- pected to add the last strokes to a full-length portrait of the great Abra- ham Lincoln, are guarded with the greatest care, It will be the year 1947 before the seals that bind these porta- ble vaults may be clipped and their contents examined. Robert Todd Lincoln, the son of the Emancipator, willed these boxes to the library under the condition that: “For 21 years after my death these boxes shall not be opened.” More than 10,000 picces are be- lieved stored in these boxes, Thelr contents and sig- nificance never have been revealed. Some idea, how- ever, as to how /| important they are may be had in the care and precau- tions taken by the <%, son before his7., death. No stone was left unturned by him to make sure that the terms of his will would be carried out to : the letter. They are letters and papers hand- ed down from father to son. The son conferred with Mr. Putnam many times before his death, and received the assurance from the librarian that the utmost sccrecy would be observed. Historians impatiently await the day when the seals will be broken, con- fident that the many obscure facts now surrounding the martyr President will be clarified. Lessons in English ¥ W. L.

C. Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Most mothers understand that sun- baths, such as are given children when the temperature is mild, are quite dif- ferent from taking the baby out daily in the sun and air, wrapped as a pro- tection from the weather® Sunbaths, to be effective, either indoors or out, con- sist of direct sunlight (not through ordinary window glass) falling upon the child’s bare skin. There are one or -two substances through which the ul- tra-violet rays will pass, one of which is artificial silk. When the wrapped- up baby is taken out of doors about the only areas of skin that can be bared this time of the yecar are the face and hands. These can be bare, and if the exposure to the skin is made gradually it won’t be so very long before baby can be having a daily sunbath again. When sunbaths are given, or ultra- violet ray treatments for rickets, cod liver oil is unnecessary. Mrs. R. L. McK. writes: “Many mothers find sunbaths difiicult this time of year. I have found a means to eliminate wind. I put the baby in her carriage and wheel it into the garage which faces South. In the sunny path of the open doorway the baby gets sun and not wind. Unless the garage faces north, there will be some time in the day suitable for the sunbath. The child faces the dark cool walls of the garage and has the sun on the sides.” Mrs. E. C. W. writes: “I have to give the baby a formula in addition to nurs- ing. Is it worth while to continue nursing, when the baby gets less from me than from the bottle?” Answer—I think it wise to continue the nursing as long as possible; if this that the complementary feedings might later be eliminated.

Every housekeeper should know some- thing about the different cuts of meat. One of the quickest ways of acquiring this knowledge is by studying the meat charts that may be obtained from any of the big packing companies. In- telligent buying can save one consider- able money. Pound for pound one cut of meat has almost the same nufritive value as another, but the cost of the two may vary greatly. Porterhouse steak at 65 cents a pound is no more nutri- tious than flank steak at 30, and when | properly cooked the latier may be just as appetizing as the former. 4 T L e | The Vacant Chair —_— 5 We gather in the Blu Front store, an ancient dotard crew; but Johnson joins us there no more, he died last month of flu. He often bored us in the past, and gained an angry frown; an argument of his would last until the clock ran down. We often thought he talked too long, he grieved us graybeard boys; his wind was good, his voice was strong, he filled the place with noise. We often thought it would be good if he would stay away, and let the others saw some wood, and say what they would say. Now Johnson comes around no more, his voice we do not hear, and there is, in the Blue Front store, a | silence tense and drear. At times some | gaffer makes a move to say things through nis face. but Johnson isn't there to preve that he is off his base. At _time #2nme old boy tells a tale that falls exceeding flat; for Johnson doesn't start a gale of merriment thereat. We realize, now he is dead, how much we're missing him; his was the soul, his was the head, that gave our meet- ings vim. Although he sometimes made us sore, by talking without end, there’s mourning in the Blue Front store, we miss our noisy friend. We're always too late; we don't appreciate a cuss un- til he's in a crate. We meet a fellow every day, and mark each flaw and fault; but when they've carried him away to some dark churchyard vault, wish he would return from his bright station in the sky where all the old stars burn. ‘WALT MASON.

While this arrangement is flattering to many taces, it is not so o all. The face that is inclined to be wide appears wider ©land fatter when the hair is brought low over the forehead. When the fore- head is low, the hair should be brushed back from it. The off-the-face coiffure is becoming to youthful, lineless faces with delicate features. The woman with a large nose and premature wrinkles should cultivate waves and ringlets around her brow and temples. Today I am describing two coiffures that are dressed with the hair brushed back to show the beauty of a well formed forehead. One coiffure is for straight hair, the other for waved hair. COIFFURE 1.

Everyday Law Cases When Is It Presumed That Services Are Gratuitous? BY THE COUNSELOR. Julla Higgins, a spinster, lived with | her brother, a wicower. She kept| house for him, prepared meals and cared for his two small children. Al- though she continued rendering these | services for several years, Miss Higgins received no compensation from her brother and nothing was said on the subject. After her brother's death Miss Hig- gins filed a claim asking that she be allowed $950 for the services she had rendered. The administrator contested the suit, contending that as there was never any agreement to pay for the services she could not recover for them. He showed further that she had not paid for her board or lodging during that time. The court agreed with the adminis- trator's contention, explaining: “Ordinarily, where one renders serv- ice for another there is to be inferred an intent to charge and a promise to pay the reasonable value therefor. But where the one rendering the service is a member of the family, receiving sup- port therein, the presumption arises that the services are gratuitous. The plaintiff, therefore, cannot recover any pay for the services in addition to the home and living which she has received, in the absence of proof that the defendant as a reasonable man ought to have known that the services were rendered for pay and not for love, Six Philadelphia public schools have FEATURES.
