WOMAN'S PAGE” Accessories for Summer Holidays BY MARY LIARSHALL. Every season beach accessories and bathing suits come into earlier requisi- tion, and every year the number of people who can induige in the luxury ©f lake-side or n bathing is in- BEACH PARASOL AND STRAP PUMP OF BLUE DOTTED WHITE CAN- VAS. HANDLE OF PARASOL IS OF WHITE WITH PAINTED DOTS. WOODEN CLOG WITH LEATHER g;l;gg?& HIGH-HEELED RUBBER creased. A bathing beach anywhere within a radius of a hundred miles and a motor car are all that many of us need to make this possible. Weeks be- fore the Summer holiday season has come for most city workers traffic in all sorts of bathing accessories begins in earnest. ‘There are some women who welcome the vogue for sun-tan skin, because they are devoted to outdos sports and spend as much time as they can in the water and at the shore and are glad to find their natural Summer complexion an asset rather than a blemish; and there are land-loving women—many of them —who this season will spend all the time they can on the water or along the shore, because they realize that in so doing they will acquire the skin tones that fashion most approves. Among the new bathing accessories none is more appealing than the gayly colored wooden beach clogs that were worn this Winter at Palm Beach and other Winter resorts. And, incidentally, if you want to select a birthday present for some young girl of your acquaint- ance there is nothing that would be more sure of meeting with her ap- plro\'nl than a pair of these wooden clogs. Roseda green, tomato color, butter yellow, primrose and a rather surpris- ing amount of violet tones strike the eye when seeing the clothes for late Spring and Summer. There has been a revival of interest in gray, and & much- admired new evening dress is made of silver lace over pumpkin-colored foun- dation and is worn with a wrap of thin gray velvet lined with pumpkin color crepe de chine. If you have a daughter or a niece or a little granddaughter, then I am sure you will want a copy of this week’s Home Dressmaker's Help, giving dia- gram pattern for an easily made sleeve- less frock, with dircctions for making and a sketch of the original. I will be very glod to send it to you on receipt of your stamped, self-addressed en- velope. e (Copyright, 1929.) DAILY DIET RECIPE CUCUMBER AND CARROT.

CRAIG. April 24, 1861 —The work of volun- teering for the defense of the District of Columbia goes on steadiiy in this city. Local citizens are coming forward daily in crowds to tender their services to the Federal Government. In the Northern Liberties steps have been taken for the organization of Company C, Metropolitan Rifles, as part of the defense of Washington by its own resi- dents. The Seward Rifles is the name of the new. military organization con- templated in the central portion of the city, The meetings of this company are held at the south corner of Pennsyl- vania avenue and Sixth street. Other companies are being formed in various parts of the city. ‘The Potomac Light Infantry of Georgetown, among whosz membership there are many Southern sympathizers, has disbanded, “to reorganize when peace has been restored” between the Northern and Southern States. One of the members, on the occasion of the disbandment, last night, proposed the following toast: “The Potomac Light Infantry; in- vincible in peace; invisible in war.” Capt. S. Gough of the Georgetown Mounted Guard has sent in the resig- nation of his command. The vacancy has niot- been filled and the organization is virtually disbanded. The Union men in the company are talking of reorgan- izing and filling the ranks with men loyal to the Federal Government. Several familles, whose sympathies are with the Union, have passed through Georgetown during the last day or two, having been driven out of Vir- ginia. Mr. Vanderwerken of the Union Line of omnibuses, was notified yester- day to leave his farm in Alexandria County in three hours. Malil communication with the North by way of Baltimore is about to be reopened. Mail is on the way today from that city to Washington by wagon, and that method will be employed to send mail northward from here until the rail communication is safe. Mail communication _is temporarily open today with the South as far as Mont- gomery, Ala., having been re ned only yesterday. How long it continue no one can foresee. % ‘Three large steamers aré bringing five regiments of New York troops to Annapolis, whence they will come to this city to assist in its defense.

KEEPING MENTALLY FIT BY JOSEPH High Heels. “High heels” is a lowbrow title for what in highbrow parlance is called *extension of personalily”—an enlarged ego through physical extension. It isn’t a feminine falling, or is so only at that end of the body; the man’s “high hat” results from the same principle; and the tall drum major with his impres- sive hat and acrobating staff offgrs a compelling exhibition of whai a big man he is. He is talking of himself through his hat. “High-hatting” is imposing your superiority by your manner. Thus eloquently speaks the psychology of clothes. It wasn't left for Freud and Adler to discover the superiority complex and the varied manner of its exhibition. We needn't all fall in love with ourselves and thus come to grief, as did Narcissus in the Greek fable by worshiping his image in the pool. (Freud calls all ex- treme self-display Narcissism.) We can get a simpler satisfaction of the same erder by any visible, tangible or audi- ble extension of our personality. It was Lotze, a psychologist of a half century ago, who set forth this psychology of clothes and ornament. He explained quite convincingly that when we use a tool we get an extension of personality by the double feeling of the contact of the tool in the hand and the contact of the cutting edge of the tool with the material. It is almost as though we had an extra hand out there when the cutting goes on. It gives a sense of increased power. That's why a man carries a cane; it enlarges his sense of activity. The other reason is that it is a sign of leisure or privilege; he is not carrying anything else; he car- ries the cane for fun or show, not for use. Jewelry and ornament stand on a somewhat different footing; for they are esthetic, displays, adding to attractive- ness; likewise are they exhibits of wealth and all that goes with it (it would be Everyday Law Cases Will Party Be Held Bound to Low Price Quoted by Error in Addition? BY THE COUNSELLOR. Before submitting his bid for bulld- ing a house for a customer, Mr. Scott, & buflder, made a mistake in adding the various items and as a consequence quoted a price $500 lower than his fig- ures permitted. The bid was accepted, but before Mr. Scott undertook the construction he discovered his mistake and informed the customer he would be_compelled to withdraw his bid. ‘The customer insisted on Scott's orig- inal contract, threatening to enter suit against him if he failed to carry out the agreement. Scott refused to go ahead with the work and the customer brought suit. At the trial Scott contended that.he was not. bound by the contract because of the mistake he had made. ‘The court, however, declared that the | mistake did not excuse him, stating: = | “According to the prevailing view, a mistake of one party only, of which the other party is entirely ignorant at the time of concluding the contract, and to which he does not contribute, does not affect its validity. A few cases, how- ever, have released the defendant, where great hardship would result from @ unilateral mistake.” AUNT HET BY ROBERT QUILLEN. JASTROW. too crude to flourish a bank book). But they also extend personality by calling attention to it. Purs do the same, though they are worn for warmth; and dress is a complicated satisfaction of display. The auto extends personality, gives a sense of power in its command of speed and distance, but leaves large play for the entire range between a Ford and a Rolls-Royce personality. A more complex high-heel psychology enters with the doctrine of compensa- tion. Short women may be more dis- posed to wear high heels; they feel taller (as well as look taller) by the double | sense of contact of the top of the heel | in the shoe and the bottom with the sidewalk. It provides a stilted feeling. Enlarge this principle once more and it includes the several added devices to enhance nature or compensate for na- ture’s neglect. In Marie Antoinette’s day high heels at one end and tall wigs at the other afforded extension of per- sonality. And once you enter the do- main of fashion, psychology and reason retire together. But rouge and powder would feel slighted if not mentioned; “make-1 F" likewise is an extension of personality. If you think this is a mod- ern _device, read this table of the days of Socrates: One day Mrs. Isomachus, doubtless to please Mr. Isomachus, rubbed “white lead to look even whiter than she was, and alkanet juice to heighten the rosy color of her cheeks; and she was wear- ing boots with thick soles in order to increase her height.” Her husband seems to have been exceptionally wise or simple-minded, for he reminded her that “tricks like these may serve to gull outsiders, but people who live together are bound to be found out, if they iry to deceive one another.” He hadn't our advantage in knowing about the Freudian extension of personality. We shall continue the practice even tb the days when everybody sees through it. ‘We shall insist on being bigger and bet- ter men and women than we are. (Copyright, 1929.)

BY CENSOR BY DEWITT MACKENZIE. The Mysterious Artist. THE INN of La Belle Sauvage was the bright jewel of the tiny hamlet of Cassel, up in Flanders where the crimson poppies blow. Cassel perches bird-like on the very top of a littel hill—the one the Duke of York marched his troops up, and marched 'em down again. It has stood there almost from time immemorial; the Roman relics lie thick in the mud of the plains about it. The British battle line lay to the east of Cassel, and the ancient village was near the flerce fighting which pro- ceeded here for years. The British 2d army had headquarters in Cassel. La Belle Sauvage was the mecca of officers on brief leave, for one could get good food and wine there and somebody almost always was tinkling the piano in the corner of the dining room. The men of many countries, includ- ing America, drifted in and out. Foch knew it; Haig knew it; Maj. Gen. Jolin O'Ryan, A. E. ., whose 27th New York Division was stationed nearby, knew it. ‘Thousands of other fighters, many of whom bore famous names in the worlds of art and literature and music, turned to La Belle Sauvage to get 2 little relief from the hell they lived in. 1 strolled into the inn one day while the busy servants were preparing for h:gch, Several tables still stood with- ot their cloths, and as I passed one of them my attention was attracted by | several drawings, done with black pen- cil on the wine-stained, scratched top. Some artist-officer had stolen a few minutes after his meal to try the skill of his hand again. £ The servants already had scrubbed away part of the art display. I promptly got hold of the owner of the inn and stopped any more of this. Then for days I watched over the drawings, wonder- ing how thei‘wuld be preserved. Finally I had an inspiration. I hired a boy who carried the table on his head to the studio of a photographer—a prominent Belgian portrait painter who had taken refuge in Cassel and was try- ing to make a living with his camera. He photographed my drawings, and in- cidentally raved about the art work. I never discovered who the artist was. goi yowr figure bust, waist, hips and thighs.

In doing reducing exercises there is a happy medium between doing the movements too vigorously and doing them too listlessly. A certain amount of vim and enthusiasm is necessary in order to produce resulis, but it must be remembered that the heart of the obese individual is already under a strain from its efforts to pump blood through a more extensive network of blood vessels than it was designed to serve. This caution is especially need- ed when a middle-aged woman begins reducing exercises. She may be so anx- ilous to gain a slender figure that she will exercise too strenuously. She will féel dizzy and her breath will become | labored as she forces her body to go through her reducing calisthenics. Today I am going to describe for you a few reducing exercises for hips and highs that are not too difficult for the stout woman to begin her reducing program with. Two of them are done while lying on the floor, thus saving energy that would be required for hold- ing the body in an upright position. Exercise 1—Lie on the right side with the right arm bent under the head and the left arm stretched over the head in a line with the body. Feet together. Inhale. As you exhale bend both knees up on your chest and clasp.left arm around them. This, of course, is not easily done if the abdo- men is large. Stretch the legs out straight again and stretch left arm up to its original position, inhaling. Roll over on the left side and repeat the exercise, this time clasping the knees with the right arm. it knee- bending while lying on right and left side alternately. Exercise 2—Lie flat on your back with hands clasped under your head. Bend both knees on chest, curl toes under. Keeping kn the body from the thighs to the right as far erhale. Inhale as you bring legs starting position. Roll thighs over the Jeft. Raise them. the trunk flat on the ficor during the exer and twist from the waist only. Repea the rolling movement from side to side, Exercise 3—Lie on your back with arms and legs stretched straight line. Sit uj the trunk backward to the floor. Stretch arms above the head. Relax. Repeat. Exercise 4—Lie on your back with hands under the head and stretch- ed out. Slowly bend right , slid- ing right foot along the floor until it is as close to the thigh as possible. Stretch leg out again and repeat knee- bending with the left leg. Repeat the knee-bending alternately. (Copyright, 1029.) MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE MERR:ICK. HOLLYWOOD, Calif., April 24.—The hare may have left the tortoise at the post when fables were being constructed, but the tortoise has it over the rabbit's foot in the Hollywood beauty's heart. Ladies who live by their looks are maintaining their beauty with tortoise gland unguent. Their main object in life is to achieve a lineless countenance with the firm contours of youth, yet keep the torso thin as an athlete’s. It sounds simple until you try it. Enter, then, tortoise gland ointment, at a price ,which makes it obtainable only by stars whose salaries are in the high altitudes. Diane De Poitiers, with her elixir of gold, was not more lavish in her expenditure in beauty's name than these reigning belles of the village.
