R0 ] B Smart Warm Weather Costumes BY MARY When the old-type separate blouse \remained in favor it was considered especially suitable for the girl who worked; and stenographers, typists, pri- vate secretaries and young school teach- ers were usually depicted by fiction writers and illustrators dressed in trim blue serge skirts and freshly laundered blouses oftcn made dainty and feminine by the addition of lace-trimmed jabots and frills, i ST THIS BLOUSE MADE IN WHITE OR OFF-WHITE WASH SILK MAY BE WORN WITH THE SHORT-JACK- ET SUIT OR WITH SEPARATE SKIRT OF DARKER TONE., washable blouse fashion because it made it possible for them to appear looking very crisp and neat in a freshly washed blouse every day. When the blouse of this sort went out of fashion it was the girl who worked who won- dered how she was going to manage with one-piece frocks. DIET AND Girls who worked liked the | al MARSHALL. But now so_thoroughly have girls in offices adapted themselves to the one- piece frock that when they consider the possibilities of the separate blouse and skirt, or the skirt and jacket suit, they think of it as something not well suited to business hours. The separate blouse, especially the washable white blouse, is something that most women reserve for 8) jal occasions—not the very wear- e, every-day cort of thing it was once. A decidedly smart warm-weather cos- “Itume recently much admired in Paris consisted of a two-piece suit of rather “{heavy black satin cut on tailored lines "{worn with a separate blouse of white “Isatin. By having two or three of the white satin blouses such a suit would be decidedly useful and one that would be becoming to almost any woman, A sleeveless frock for a little girl is taken as the model for this week’s dia- gram pattern, which I will gladly send to you on receipt of your stamped, self- addressed envelope.

HEALTH 1929.) BY LULU HUNT PETERS, M. D. That Empty Feeling. “Even after I received your pamphlet on reducing almost a year ago, it took me several months to gain enough courage to begin. But I finally did begin, and in five months have lost 34 pounds. The most surprising thing about it is that Petersizing has been fun! I haven't starved to death yet or scarcely felt hungry at any time. And T have gotten so that I love that empty feeling.—MRS. G.” Congratulations on your success, G. I'm glad we got you eventually. If one diets correctly, there is no need of being hungry. In fact, I can safely say that it isn’t what is eaten when one is hungry, anyway, that causes excess fat to accumulate. If one never ate except when genuinely hungry and then stopped when the hunger was appeased, that would mean no overeating at any one meal and very little eating between meals. And it is the overeating at meals and the between-meal snack that stack up the calories and therefore the fat. The thing the reducer has to “fight in the beginning is not real appetite but simply longing for certain foods—es- peciaily candy and sweets—to which he has become habituated. If it is fought off for a few days, this also ceases, and instead of longing and thinking of food all the time, the very pleasant thing Mrs. G. mentions is experienced—that of actually enjoying the empty feeling, for then you know you are reducing. But, I repeat, it is not necessary to feel hungry. If you do actually feel hungry, you can take a few calories of some fruit, or a cup of skim milk or hot clear broth. Even a cup of hot water will satisfy the hunger pains. I find, a_good way to overcome the habit food longings is to make a resolu- tion not to give in to it for, say, a month or a little longer. I'll tell you of a little experience I'm going through right now. During a trip to Los An- geles this Winter I put on 7 pounds. I was reducing it very steadily—one |- pound a week. Went to a bridge party where candied almonds were served on the table all evening. Ordinarily I don’t touch candy at a bridge party, for | I know one taste and I'm lost. But| this time I succumbed to the first taste, | and the result was that I was munching candy and nuts all the evening. | This, of course, made me very thirsty, and I drank a lot of water. The con- centrated candy and nuts made me hold that water, and the result was I registered two pounds’ gain the follow- ing morning. I was so mad at myself that I made a resolve and wrote it down, that I would not touch candy, nuts or rich desserts until the day I feel is peculiarly mine of the ' whole year—my birthday, May 7. That was 2 month ago, and &s I write this T have | two months longer of deprivation of these delectables. This is the first time I've sworn off for such a long time, and I'm fondly hoping by such a long denial be ALL SHOULD HAVE PLENTY OF MILK ‘Bones and Teeth of Childres and Adults Need Milk in the Diet, Two famous nutrition authorities emphasize the need of the humen body for the calcium and phosphorus found in milk. Children end ex- pectant or nursing mothers should have from three-quarters to one quart of milk a day, sccording to these suthorities, and other adults should have from three-quarters of a pint to a pint of milk These suthorities point out that too little calelum in the diet retards bone growth, eauses rickets, may result in bone deformities, produces PoOr quality of teeth and lowers vigor and vitality. Whole milk also is rich in phosphorus. Unfortunately there sre many people who do not like the taste of milk. For all such people, & de- licious milk drink should be made, One mother makes her children eager for milk by giving it to them in milk shakes. “They call one drink a chocolate froth,” she says. “I take & level teaspoon of cocos end 1% teaspoons of sugar, mix in the bot- tom of & glass with a few drops of milk until it's smooth, add a drop or two of vanilla flavoring, fill the glass with milk and shake it with an’ ordinary tin shaker, The youngsters are crazy about it,” she goes on to fully weaned, for I don’t notice ‘it much now. Not _all of us have to fight the same food longings, but whatever yours is, make a resolution to ignore it for a while. Don't say forever, but for a cer- tain definite time. Then stick to it. If I can, you can. But don't overeat of the other foods to make up for it! General overeating will make you gain, also. e Everyday Law Cases BY THE COUNSELLOR. ‘Thomas and Miller were partners in { the bullding business. Miller, contrary | to the agreement with his partner, gave an estimate on a job without consult- ing his partner, and the estimate was accepted. ‘When Thomas heard of the estimate he renounced it, showing that it was much too #6W, and that Miller had‘no authority to make estimates without the consent of both partners. Suit was brought against the firm for their failure to perform in accord with Miller's contract, and Thomas, in defense, set up his special agreement with Miller, contending that the firm could not be held liable. ‘The court, however, held the partner- ship liable, statin; “A partner has authority to act in behalf of the firm in matters within the ordinary scope of the firm's busi- ness, and such acts will bind the firm, unless the partner was forbidden to act in a particular matter, and the one with whom he dealt had knowledge of this fact at the time.

One of the girls who belonged in the younger married set, that is the group even younger than Nancy, had just moved near the Page home and Nancy made & morning call as she passed the house on her way to market. Her hostess came to the door attired in overalls, She was a young‘:hln and looked most fetching. 8! did not apologize for her clothing, but explained more as & matter of course than any- thing else that she always wore overalls when she had housecleaning or house- settling, moving or packing to do. “You have no idea, Nancy, how easy it is to get up and down stepladders when you don’t have to fuss with skirts or aprons. vear @ dress with an adjus able apron-skirt effect with bloomers underneath, but nowadays I wear my overalls. Why don’t you do it, too? You are young and slim enough” And Nancy was half tempted to follow gay Polly's advice. ’ ‘That evening as Nancy sat at home waiting for Peter she was glad that she had planned her housecleaning more sensibly this year than last. She had only one room at a time upset /] this year. Last year Ehe had taken down her pictures in all the rooms, the curtains all came down at one time, the rugs all went to the cleaners in one load. As a consequehce her house looked like a barn, sounded like a bare cavern and smelled like—well, it had that painfully clean . housecleaning smell, This year her plan was working admirably. Neither shé nor Peter was rerlly conscious that housecleaning was goiny on. “Never again for me—that tearing up the whole house at one time,” quoth Nancy. Overalls imply sim figures.

(Copvright, 19: & \DorothyDix| g~ Ungrateful? Many Desire, Above All Else, to Be Thought Good Sports, But Show Very Little Sports- manship in Dealing With Mother. I HAVE written a lot about the mothers who, in the excess of their love and anxiety about their daughters,'nag their very lives out of them. It seems next to fmpossible for & woman to be able to realize that her children ever grow up and develop sufficient intelligence to know whén to come in out of the rain, and 1t is easy to see how this petty tyranny gets upon the nerves of a girl who is holding down a responsible position in & business office and who is 10 times more worldly wise than her mother will ever be. o _ Of course, if mother could be brought to realize that Mary, by reason of beéing free, white and 21 and self-supporting, is entitled to some personal liberty and that Mary has enough sense to know when to go to bed and what to eat and when to change her stockings and that if she hasn’t bred enough good principles in Mary to make her walk straight it is a waste of effort to watch her, it would do much to promote peace and harmony in the home and establish the entente cordiale between mothers and daughters, But whether a mother ever rises to the heights where she can take this broad view of the situation or not, there is mother’s side of the question to be considered and, when all is sald, daughter's offenses against mother are greater than mother’s against her, - Mother may be hard to live with, but she has no agreeable fireside companion herself when she has to put up with an arrogant, impudent, selfish, self-willed girl who rides roughshod over every one about her. Yet multitudes of mothers have to endure this, and being chicken-pecked is as excruciating a form of torment as any ever practiced by the inquisition. “ee w IN these days there are mighty few girls who stand in any awe of their mothers, but there are milllons of mothers who live in mortal terror of their daughters. They see their daughters doing what they know to be wrong, but they dare not try to stop them. They are afraid to ask daughter even a civil question or to offer a suggestion, because they know well the torrent of abuse their audacity will bring down upon their heads. Why, we all know plenty of homes in which the real head of the house is a spoiled little flapper whose word is law. She decides when and how and where the family shall live, She drags mother and father off to Europe against their will. She buys the new car they can't afford and the balance of the family ride in it only when she isn’t using it. She runs father into debt. Neither mother nor father dares to express an opinion in her presence, for she has no hesitation in criticising their grammar and theories and telling them just what back numbers she considers them. Now when mother disapproves of Mary’s conduct it only irritates Mary; it doesn't really hurt her. But when Mary lets mother know that she considers her little better than a fool and that she has no respect for her judgment or taste and has no intention of being guided by her, she strikes a dagger into mother’s heart. She could not wound her more cruelly because she slays the vanity that makes all parents hug to their souls the illusion that no matter what they may be to the outside world, their children reverence and admire them and look up to them as oracles. ‘Then the mother of one of these selfish, self-centered girls knows truly how sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to have a thankless child. Ever since Mary was born mother has suffered and worked and sacrificed for her. She has literally given her life to try to make Mary's life easier than her own, ‘When Mary tells mother it is none of her business where she is going or when she is coming home as she starts off at night in ‘an automobile with a man whose name mother doesn't even know, mother thinks of the weary vigils she has kept by Mary’s sick bed when she was a child; of how, when Mary was growing up, she overworked that Mary might have time to play: of how she has gone shabby that Mary might have as good clothes as tge other children at school; of the many nights she has sat up sewing and washing and pressing so that Mary might have the pretty clothes that set off her beauty, The tears on mother’s face ure bitter with the sense of ingratitude and wonders when Mary rages against her because she tries w'gom.rul her t;k:.

She doesn’t even play fair with mother or give mother a run for her money. Mother has spent a small sized fortune on educating her and havin T taught accomplishments, but daughter never thinks it wgrth while to sit 'd:’:n and have a real conversation with mother and try to entertain her or to try to be a companion to mother. Daughter wants all of the background and the protection that a home gives, but she doesn’t want any of the restraints that it imposes upon her. Daughter wants all of the service that mother can give mother to provide her with pretty clothes, to give her lml;ld efot)‘g'h'l:‘\:fl:‘g:’ when she is sick, to sympathize with her when she is in trouble. If she is a poor girl, she wants mother to wash out her lingerie and press and sponge her frocks and keep them in order so that she may be fresh and dainty when she goes to work, but she doesn't even want to say “thank you” for it or to show mother any appreciation or to defer to her wishes. In a word, she wants to take all and give nothing, which is and nobody ‘in the world but mother would stand it.

FEATURES A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT T}m writer hears that when the good ship Mayflower was ordered de- commissioned by President Hoover no one was grieved so much as the young society group of thle National Capi- tal ‘To them the presidential yacht was a favorite rendezvous. After- noon teas never were enjoyed S0 much as when served on the decks of the May- flower, Invita- tions to little in- formal functions there were greatly prized and sought after. In common parlance one sim- ply had to “rate” t be invited. And with the passing of the yacht and its dashing young officers, debs, subdebs and many others feel the loss keenly. However, grief is not restricted to this class alone. We also hear that members of Congress were fairly be- sleged with requests from the folks back home that they be permitted to visit the yacht. The Mayflower was probably the most popular sight in Washington for those out-of-town visi- tors. More than one Congressman's work will be lightened now that the boat has departed from the Wash- ington navy yards. While visiting the navy yards before the Mayflower sailed we picked up a story typical of the interest the yacht held for the “common people.” 1t was “cleaning-up” day when & vis- itor appeared on the deck to look the yacht over. The officer of the deck approached him and said that visitors were not allowed aboard that day. It had no effect. The visitor insisted that as a taxpayer he had a right to see the ship. ‘The O. D. appealed to the executive officer for assistance in making the intruder leave. But the higher officer’s arguments, too, were futile. In despera- tion he went to the captain, who at that time was the late George M. Stoney, and told him there was a vis- itor aboard who absolutely would not leave the boat. Stoney came on deck and approached the visitor. Walking over to a deck rail, he cut a sliver therefrom and handed it to ths visitor. . “Now, my dear sir,” he said, “I know that you are one of the some 90,000,- 000 owners of this boat. Here is your share. Good morning.” Contrary to the popular conception, the Mayflower was not such a palace | of luxury. | | | o) It may interest you to know that the chinaware used was of the ordinar: navy crockery similar to that in offi cers’ mess everywhere in the United | ‘The President’s china was decorated with a narrow gold band large bowl may occupy a table at the|ang the official crest, but in other re- side and a small bowl in the center of each small table. ‘These bowls are made in rose, blue, amber and green, and with any of these it is ible to create many love- ly color schemes. In a green bowl, a yellow candle and lavender flowers might be used; in a blue bowl, a blue candle and pale rose flowers; in a rose bowl, a rose candle and blue. flowers.

Sub- stantial usefulness was its chief char- acteristic. ‘There were two especially attractive places on the yacht. One was the President’s study.

There are three houses on the property, quaint old-fash- loned structures, which she proposes to throw together. The surrounding “yards” will be converted into a spacious garden, with rolling stretches of lawn. Meanwhile she s living in the home of ‘Warren Delano Robbins, United States Minister to Salvador.
