_IWOMA N’S PAGE.. Little Jackets BY MARY ! 'This is, forsooth, a season of little | Jackets, They appear in the most un- expected connections—unexpected, that | is, until you realize that they are really | appropriate as part of practically every sort of ensemble.

There are quilted jackets and cretonne jackets, lame jackets and pique jackets, cocktail, jackets that never get a whiff of any beverage stronger than afternoon tea or after-dinner coffee, and smoking jackets that are never sullied with the scent of tobacco smoke. In some of the stores you may find little incidental jackets—a tempting ar- ray of them near the place where you find separate skirts. And these little jackets suggest all sorts of interesting combinations and ensembles. There are separate jackets of linen—red, or blue, or green—that may be chosen to wear with gingham frocks of white and col- ored checks. There are jackets of cor- duroy or pique to be worn with cotton or linen frocks, and jackets of -finely twilled silk that may be chosen to wear with the skirt of»pleated crepe 'de.chine. If you are expert enough to niake a separate skirt, but haven't quite the courage to attempt a jacket, you may buy the jacket and then get a piece of harmonizing figured silk from which to make & pleated skirt and a scarf for the jacket. If you have a simple little frock of crepe de chine and want to transform it to something suitable for informal dances, you will be interested in this week's circular showing how to make a fringed overdrapery which is held in place by means of a deep hip yoke. The convenient thing about it is that the yoke and fringe may be made so that it may be worn only when espe- cially ‘appropriate. The circular shows how to make the fringe. I will gladly send you a copy of this circular on re- ceipt of your stamped, self-addressed envelope. (Copyright, 1929.) Cherry Pudding.

In therapeutics ‘we have the infra-red rays, and from the endless stream of inquiries I receive from readers it would seem that these essive—indeed im- | posing—rays are ralsing ructions in the imagination of the layman. Many a morning have I lain late in the hope of hatching some plan to make this ray mystery clear to him who | reads. I haven’t hit on a feasible plan as yet, but no matter—it will come in due time. You can't drive the subcon- scious; you can only give it free rein. Lying abed in the morning when old- fashioned folk are up, whether they're doing anything worth doing or not, is, + in my habit of thinking, the best way to commune with the subconscious. ! There is a twilight zone there some- ‘where just between sleep and full con- sciousness where ideas are conceived. Of course, most of them remain forever in the unknown. The trick is to cap-| , ture the germ of the idea and fetch it out into the consciousness when you , wake up. Listen to an authority, Dr. John Har- ‘vey Kellogg, who says in the American Journal of Surgery: { “s % * T think it worth while to eall attention to the fact that special apparatus for the application of infra- red rays is not needed, for the reason that these rays are always present in abundant quantity, * * * available in any quantity desired, through such commonly employed means of making Theat |'pgunclons as the hot poultice, | hot-wat bag, hot sandbags, heated stones or bricks, and the shorter and ' more penetrating infra-red rays and luminous heat rays always present in the radiation from arc and incandes- cent lamps of every sort. Even the BRADY, M. D. glowing coals of an open fireplace are & most effective source of heat rays of the very highest therapeutic value.” . As a point of interest I venture to add to the list of homely sources of infra- red rays the very efficient and increas- ingly popular radiant gas and electric heating devices. These modern heating units utilize the physical principle of an incandescent surface, which gives off a large quantity of infrarred rays and :hntt is technically known as radiant eat. Radiant heat from any open fire, flame, glowing coals or incandescent surface warms surfaces or objects in the room, including the bodies of occupants, rather than the air of the room. This explains why an open fireplace is so comfortable, even though a thermome- ter indicates a temperature several de- gress below that which is generally maintained in rooms heated by air reg- isters or radiators. Only those who have studied physics —and physics should be one of the three or four main subjects of the first year of any high school course—can under- stand what infra-red means. Almost any one may get an inkling of its meaning from observation of the ar- rangement of the colors of the rain- ‘bow—their order is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet. Beyond the range of the violet is the ultra-violet, invisi- ble. Below or under the red is the infra-red, also invisible. Beyond the violet the rays are cold. Blue is a cold color; red is a warm color. Below the red the rays are heat rays. But this will scarcely mean anything to the un- fortunate who has been denied a fair education in school. I merely seek to tell you that infra-red ray treatment Your Baby and 'Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Beds are such convenient places to stow uway small, misbehaving children that & mother's first tuought is to say: “Now, you bad boy, I'm going to put you to bed and you'll have 'tnwm’ there until you are good.” SE 8, woman, that he is safe , and, for the moment, out from b likewise knows that enforced inactivity is a real punishment to the active run- about child and so-she has killed two birds with one stone—punished the child and made herself comfortable for the time being. By using & bed as a jail or a means of punishment is & boomerang. Very shortly, the thought of bed is connected entirely with unpleasantness. The child | hates it. When he is put into bed he feels exactly the way He did when he was tucked in that afternoon for break- ing mother’s favorite pickle dish. He howls at the sight of the bed, exactly as he howls when deprived of his free- dom, and then a whole new situation arises. The child won't go to bed, day or_night, without screaming. If the child has to be punished, use some other means of isolation than the bed. Being made to sit in & chair,.or just told that he has to go upstairs until he can be good, is quite enough to send most children howling upstal to return in five minutes with the statement that they will be good. And they do try. This punishment is just as effective as being put to bed, and leaves no bad after-effect. Putting a child to bed in the middle of the day as punishment and keeping him penned up with nothing to do is an easy way to train him in bad habits that are far more serious than the original fault. ‘The idle child will amuse himself and his method of amusement is a serious one. The child who goes to bed willingly has all his short life thought of bed as a happy place, a real haven of rest and relaxation. He goes to ‘when he is tired. He snuggles down in the soft bed, and being a small bird or a cuddly puppy for the moment helps the illusion of snuggling down happily and being covered for the night. The rest- ful atmosphere in the bedroom, the mother’s last chats with the child for the day, the sense of intimacy de- veloped between the two all help to make this a period of the day which the child comes to with pleasure. Adults look forward to the restful- ness of bed, but they deprive the child of this pleasure by making bed a jail, instead of building up day after day a bright, comfortable picture of the hap- piness of being a tired, little child in a nice, soft, warm bed. And if he is old enough to think forward one day and realize that he, will be rested so that he may enjoy the next day to the fullest degree, he has one more incen- tive to go to bed willingly rather than being dragged t9”it screaming at the top of his voice.

KEEPING MENTALLY FIT BY JOSEPH JASTROW. Income Statement. Everybody’s been doing it; and what 8 strain and a chore and a penance it ; is! To find out how little or how much income you have earned, and how little is left, and wonder where it all went to. Then the temptation to stretch thosc exemptions and forget about a few ex- tras that gave you quite a thrill when they came, but a pang to spoil it all by sharing it with Uncle Sam, who is really go’uhtlve of yours at all; and yet isn't e? However, it's only a matter of money; and a far more important statement is that of your psychological income for which the proper coin of the realm is some form of content. If you had to make out a statement of the sources of your psychological income for the year, of all that has helped you to live and contributed to your content and made life worth living, how would it read? For many the first item would be the satisfaction they got out of their job— their work life; not the wages, but the satisfaction. Naturally if you got on, and had a “raise” or an advancement or a retognition of some sort, that added money income’ may appear on both statements. It helped you to feel that you were making good. ‘Without it you might, however, have the same “income” feeling of finding adjustment and joy in your job; and you might feel that a little of that in- come you should share with those less fortunate. Pay your happiness income erous income in these directions, that “great and glorious feeling” is a big item in your psychol income. Your shares in it should appear in somebody else’s statement. Husband and wife may make out joint or sepa- rate returns, as they prefer. If their happiness returns appear the same on both statements, a mutual income is assured. Another item in your statement is the income in stimulation from talks and books that have helped you, ideas that have helped shape your life, changed you a bit, matured you somewhat, even aged you a little, but all to the good. If you can write down a profit, put it in your income statement. There’s a space there—quite 8 num- ber of spaces—for pleasures, but hardly {glr o 5‘""“ wétmb relaxation, just e ang ding without an; income at all and not a little loss. Puyt down your musical enjoyments and your art enthusiasms and the plays that have helped you; but did you really get enough out of a haphazard assortment of movies and musical comedies to men- tion them in your income statement? You don’t expect all income. There :l;le :cmggloniz; .h:g ly;m must render of ‘w cost to secure that psychological income that sup- you through the r.

Everyday Law Cases Are All Communications Made In Presence of Attorney Privileged? BY THE COUNSELLOR. ‘When Henry Smith called upon his attorney to engage him to contest a suit he made & number of admissions which would have materially aided the other side of the case.

At the trial counsel for the opposing side, learning that Hall had accom- panied Smith to his attorney’s office, questioned him regarding the conversa- tion he had heard. Smith’s counsel objected to the admissibility of this evi: dence, citing the rule that communica- tions between an attorney and client and confidential. - : i which is fastened to the inside of a closet door at a helght convenient for a little girl to reach.

MOVIES AND- MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE MERRICK. + HOLLYWOOD, Calif., April 10.—Hol- lywood had one of its rare rainy nights at the Mary Pickford premiere. The awning at the entry collapsed and Irving Berlin was greeted by sev- eral bucketfuls of water. The little composer hunched his shoulders and scuttled to cover, while the hundreds lined on either side of the street ap- plauded vigorously. Cecil De Mille, spokesman of the eve- ning, gave the audience a quick come- back when he was presenting the cast. They did not come out on the stage, but rose in the audience. A hoarse male voice cried: “Why don’t you get these le to come up on the stage or stand on-a platf - ‘To which De Mille replied: “Evi- dently you do not understand the ego- tism of a directo; e Bernard Shaw once put over one of a similar nature.

Probably the only strike of war corre- spondents ever recorded in history was red by the “Big Seven,” attached to British general headquarters in Prance during the World War. I should qualify that statement by Q. which de- sistently insisted that we wouldn't be 50 undignified as to strike. We merely were ceasing to write because we were tired out and needed a rest. ‘Our show was staged in Flanders, and it was in the Spring of 1918, if I re- member rightly. As I have indicated, we were seven—five British and two Americans. Among us we served vir- tually the entire world with the all-im- rtant news of the fighting along the tish and Belgian fronts. ‘We were the favored few, strictly lim- ited in number, to whom G. H. Q. laid bare all secrets. I mean that literally. ‘We knew more intimate details of what was going on and what was projected than did anybody outside the com- mander in chief and his chosen council at G. H. Q. Our task obviously was no light one. Upon us devolved the responsibility not only of recording with precision the mo- mentous history which was unfolding with kaleidoscopic rapidity, but of in- terpreting it accurately to readers throughout the universe. It was a nerve-wracking game under best of conditions, and anything which added to our difficulties became a mat- ter of vital impeytance to us. It happened that there was in control of our department a certain G. H. Q. colonel whose activities we didn't ap- prove. We felt he didn’t understand his job as he should, and we had no doubt that some of his regulations were ham- pering our work. Numerous complaints from our headquarters failed to better conditions, and so we decided to take matters into our own hands. ‘We requested the officer who was in immediate command of our headquar- ters to present an ultimatum to G. H. Q. The message was this: Our healths were very bad. We needed & rest from writing and we were going to take it. Not a nice job for our chief to under- s el Our immediate superior was Lieut. Col. John Faunthorpe, and in order to throw light on later developments I must explain that he was much beloved by all the correspondents. America will remember this most af- fable gentleman with the monocle very well, for he was attached to the war mission to the United States in 1918, and later was at the British embassy in Washington. ‘Well, Faunthorpe shoved his monocle into his eye and there was a funny lit- tle smile_tugging at the corners of his mouth. He has a great sense of huor. However, he treated the affair very seriously, as indeed the occasion, war- ranted. We were serious enough in our ultimatum, which meant that the world was to be cut off from the real news of the British and Belgian sectors. How seriously G. H. Q. regarded the matter developed very shortly. Faun-| thorpe telephoned our message through to G. H. Q. from Cassel, where we were | quartered temporarily. Soon Brig. Gen. John Charteris, head | of the intelligence department, .arrived at our headquarters with the engine of his fast car hot. He rushed into our| headquarters with stern face. He de- manded to know what we meant by ! striking. We informed him that noth- ing was farther from our minds than to strike, We merely were taking a holiday. Philip Gibbs (now Sir Philip), whose name is known as a writer throughout :lo tQhe regulations of the colonel at G. “We wish, sir,” sald Gibbs, “to call your attention to the fact that we are military experts. We know our jobs. ‘We know more about this war than most officers connected with it. We in- sist, sir, that we cannot'have our work hampered by any one.” - “What do you suggest?” asked the general. ‘We replied that we wanted our de- partment taken from under the control of Col. So-and-So. “Very well, gentlemen,” said the B. G.1. “You win., I will take charge of your department myself.” He was as good as his word. In fact, he was better than his word, for in a few days we got the shock of our lives. Our beloved Col. Faunthorpe was trans- ferred to, other work. The B. G. I. didn’t know, of course, that this would cause any anguish in our camp. Not he. Well, there wasn't anything we could do about it. (Copyright, 1929, by Associated Press.) WHO REMEMBERS?
