WOMAN'S PAGE STAR. WASHINGTON. D. C. MONDAY. MAY 6. 1929, THE BAG MAY BE CARRIED OUT IN A COLOR SCHEME TO GO WITH | ANY COSTUME, ‘The envelope purse seems to have, come to stay. and the woman of limited means who desires choice personal ac- cessories may rejoice in this fact, as it is possible for her to make her own bags Such bags, paralleling those of Paris- fan chic, can be made at home in a manner to be described and in a style which has been especially designed for readers of this department. Full direc- tions may be had by the sending of 5 | cents in stamps, inclosed with a_self- addressed envelope. All requests should be mailed to Lydfa Le Baron Walker, care of this department, and at an early date, as the supply is limited. The folding purse for costume use is made of canvas and embroidered in raffia. The stitch employed for the | background is that called the “darning | stitch,” which is very easy to do. If | preferred, the background may remain plain and the pattern only be done in colored raffia, selected to harmonize with the wardrobe needs. The design may be done in blanket | stitch, “long and short,” or the plain | “over and over” stitch. Any one of these methods of embroidering is -ef- fective, and will result in a beautiful purse. ' A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT fTHIS is the story of how a woman | took to the air to put her humel eity back on its feet. The woman is Representative Edith Nourse Rogers, member of Congress | {rom the fifth district of Massachusetts. | The city is Lowell, Mass. | Mrs. Rogers is an aviation enthusiast | of the first water. She has had suffi- | cient hours in the air to make plane | flights anything but a novel experi- ence. She uses a plane much as other | wle use a train or an automobile. is her favorite way of traveling. While she is not a pilot, she believes | she could qualify as one. But it is the practical side of aviation which appeals most to Mrs. Rogers. And this brings us to the story about how her interest in aviation helped put | Lowell back on | m Lowell was in a bad way as far as business was con- cerned. For years it had been one of | the largest manu- facturing _ centers in New England. But the textile mills were clos- | ing down to re- open in various sections of the South People were say- | ing that Lowell | was dead and | that business was | on the rocks. Mrs. Rogers set about proving that the city | could be given new life. The Post Office Department was at that time launching the air mail. Mrs, | Rogers had become interested in the | venture, and had given much of her | time in an effort to make it a success. 80 it occurred to her that aviation could be made the salvation of Lowell, The first step was to get one or twp seaplanes from a naval base nearby to | visit the city. In those days planes | were a novelty, and when they arrived | in Lowell the entire city turned out to | greet them Mrs. Rogers increased the interest of the citizens further by climbing aboard | gne of the planes and fiying over the | y. As a result of this a move w:s| Iaunched by the civic organizations of | Lowell to build an airport. | The airport was constructed in due time, and Lowell occupied a definite place in aviation Then Mrs. Rogers heard that an air- | plane company was looking for a site in that section on which to build a fac- tory. She and the people of Lowell started out to have the company locate | its factory there. They were suceessful, | and only a few days ago Mrs. Rogers christened the first plane manufactured | at the plant. It was named the “City of Lowell.” | Mrs. Rogers was elected to Congress June 30. 1925, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of her husband, the late John Jacobs Rogers. She received 23,- 614 votes against 9.251 for her Demo- cratic opponent. She was re-elected to the Seventieth Congress. receiving 46,- 464 votes against 18,846 for her oppo- nent. She was chosen for a third term last November, That she is popular in her whole dis- trict is shown by the fact that in the rural sections she rolled up impressive majorities. She carried the two Demo- cratic cities of Lowell and Woburn by more than two to one.

It is folded into three sections, of which the middle one is the embroidered “front” of the purse when done. If preferred, the center section may be an inch or so| longer than the two end sections. The | pocket then does not quite come to the | fold of the flap, and the flap does nnl’ quite cover the entire side of the purse. A crocheted covered button of raffia and a button loop made of chain stitch of the same material will serve to, secure the flap in place. Half-inch seams should be allowed for both bag and lining, which latter is essential. Interline with cotton or| muslin that comes to edge of finished | bag only.

A Czechoslovakian feeling can be given by employing bright reds, urnn(e“} cen, yellow, for the motifs, with a border of black. (Copyright, 1929.) C. PLUMMER. the old hall of the House of Representa- tives lose its accupants. | One referred us to_ the state- ment of Representative Robert Cum- | ming Schenck of Ohio, made at the time the resolution was up for discus- | sion in 1864. “I never pass through the old hall of the House of Representatives,” Schenck said upon this occaslon, “without feel- ing myself reproached by the spirits that haunt the place. “I look around to sée where the ven- erable John Quincy Adams trembled in his seat and voted, and I see a huckster woman selling . gingerbread. I look to see where Calhoun and Clay sat, and I find a woman sell- ing oranges and i'root beer. I look around the floor * where these men stood and uttered their patriotic sen- timents in the day when patriotic sentiments were heard with rever- ence everywhere and by every man, and I see a floor rotting and trem- bling under my tread.” Senator Morrill of Vermont once said in reference | to the place “Nature formed but one, And broke the die in molding” ‘The “democratic simplicity and gran- deur of style” profoundly impressed the late Senator. Its “wealth of associa. tion with many earnest and eloquent chapters in the history of our country deserves perpetuity at the hands of an American Congress.” At present there are more than 50 statues in the hall. Each State was invited by the Presi- dent in 1865 to provide statues of two ; of its fillustrious sons or - daughters. There were 36 States in the Union at the time. The first statue arrived in 1870, and was a stone effigy of Nathaniel Greene of Rhode Island. Nineteen years later there were only 18 statues in the hall. There are 42 statues yet to be re- Mr. Tinkham thinks that by the time these are placed in their posi- tions Statuary Hall will have the ap- pearance of a warehouse. MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN.

LL PERFORM liberally sprinkled | SUB ROSA The World a Screen. I have just been reading about a screen star whose broken romance threatened a broken heart. One would think that after playing love parts and having broken hearts filmed in the studio, the headliner lady would get | used to it. But no; she’s a human be- | ing, after all. | “The screen has its lure for us, and I| | suppose that many of us have all but | | packed up our duds for a trip to Holly. | wood. For the film makes appeal to a | |woman's mind, since the shadowy movements and flying chahges of | countenance suggest to her the light |and spirit—real character of her life. But it must be that these movie people get all mixed up on the affairs of their lives, because they have to play various parts and lend their precious souls to various roles. ‘That tends to | blur the distinction between real life | |and the shadowy existences on the | screen. To have an honest-to-goodness broken heart may be bad for the pa- tient, but it thrills us to feel that these | shadows are real people. Film love must be a nuisance to a Hollywood girl who has any sense of | {romance, since she has to take the| celluloid kiss and film hug just because | that's a part of the movie drama. If | | she could play opposite her boy friend, it might be all right, but even then her necking would be done in the glare | of the studio instead of in the gloaming. | But these Hollywooders can take care | of themselves, seeing that they have lot of cash to work on, so that we would | better worry about ourselves who are not in the studio or on the stage. |, It seems to me that since screen folk appear to be real people we who are so very real should iry to get more of a studio point of view.
