They are just what many women like best to wear ‘with informal little jackets and cardi- gans that Chanel and other French dressmakers have brought forward and The Sidewalks and wide inverted pleats. Then there are the new pleated skirts with a diagonal top, like a yoke, scarcely | more than hip length on one side and | extending nearly to the knee on the | other. You will find this arrangement |in many of the new Summer dresses of plain or figured silk. A clever young American, recently re- |turned from France, completed her sports ensemble with a bandeau round the head of fine copper-colored gauze, which toned attractively with her short sports necklace made of copper. A Euro- pean fad which is hardly likely to be- come popular in this country is that of wearing earrings of different lengths— one short and one long, but otherwise very much alike. | To trim the edge of the little jacket “nf silk or satin there is nothing more lattracti\‘e than Italian quilting, which | may be done quite easily and costs | practically nothing. This trimming has been used extensively by the French | milliners and dressmakers this Spring and gives the desired dressmaker touch to things made at home.

My Neighbor Says: 0ld silk stockings make an ex- cellent dry mop. Take about 15 stockings, cut off the feet and slit them open lengthwise, then sew them together at one end and fasten to your mop handle. A mop made this way does not leave any lint on the floor and is very satisfactory. To clean nickel faucets, use a cloth wrung out of water to which a little ammonia has been added. In order to have brown flour always on hand for gravy, try this: Spread & pint of flour upon a large tin plate, place it in the oven and every few min- utes stir; leave it in until it is the desired brown shade. Then drop in ‘a pinch or two of salt and place the browned flour in a covered glass jar, Try cooking beet greens with bacon. After boiling, the bacon is crisped in the frying pan and served with slices of hard-boiled eggs as a border around the greens. of Washington BY THORNTON FISHER. A hotel near a big city has a sign over its modest entrance saying, “Steam Heat,” In a world of astonishing prog- ress, of radio, airplanes and transai- lantic flights the simple advertisement of steam heat comes as rather a sur- prise. +_ It would be hard to imagine the fol- lowing: “Ride in the 1929 Runhard.

An occasional automobile sped down the smooth State road. A short bridge with boarded sides spanned a deep ravine through which a railroad track ran. Approaching the bridge, a motorist was stopped by another, who pointed to & huge splintered hole in one of the boarded sides. It had not been there an hour before, Something apparently had happened. The night was silent and the deep, dark abyss below whis- [;red a tragedy to those who stood up potent to aid the unfortunates who | had doubtless plunged through to the tracks 60 feet or more down in the darkness. One suggested going below in search of the victims, but there were no visi- ble means of reaching them. At any moment a train might roar through the ravine and add horror to the catas- trophe. What to do was the question. It was uncanny standing in the eerie darkness, wondering. Perhaps a car had not gone through after all.

NANCY PAGE Peter and Nancy Disagree About Junior BY FLORENCE LA GANKE, Junior was coming up in the world. He had learned to grasp the rail of his play pen and pull himself up on his feet. When he began to do this Nancy put shoes on with soles a little heavier and stronger than on boouees, but not as heavy and inflexible as those for a walking child. Peter wanted his son to walk before he was a year old, for he did love to brag about his bright child. But Nancy insisted it was bad for a child to push him faster than he wanted to :o She had seen too many bables held by arms and shuffied over the floor. 8! had seen the bow-legged children who were that way because they had been forced to walk before they were ready.

Much as Nancy wanted folks to admire her son, she realized it was not good for him to be wakened, brought into a bright room and poked and tickled by strangers. She said “No” and Peter said she was a crank. When she went to bed that night she cried and Peter made no effort to comfort her. She discovered that ‘the conflict between her desires as Peter’s wife and her care for Peter's son had begun.

EAR MISS DIX: Is there such a thing as a wife being too good to her | husband? I think I have the most wonderful husband in the world and I love him better every day, but what queers me is that he takes spells of grouching, when he never has anything to say and hardly answers me when T talk to him and acts like a spoiled child. I never go any place unless on a business errand end when he gets these spells life isn't worth living to me. Iam most sure it isn't some one else, but he just acts like he is tired of living or something. WORRIED TWENTY-TWO. Sulks are a combinaton of selfishness, childishness, temper and Answer: They are what one of my colored nerves, and they are virtually incurable. friends calls “the chronics.” Generally they are the result of something unpleasant having happened to a man during the day. The stock market may have gone down. He may have eaten something indigestible for lunch. Some rough foot may"have trod on the toes of his vanity. Some business deal may have turned out badly. The boss may have bawled him out for a mistake he made. Or he may be just tired and peevish and worn out. Any one of a dozen things may have upset him, but he didn’t dare to vent his spleen on the public. He had to bottle up his wrath until he got home and he could take it all out on his wife. And she, poor soul, who has been breaking her neck to please him, sets before him a dinner of his favorite dishes that she has been hours in preparing and for which she expected the glad hand, and he gobbles it up without a word of appreciation and when she tries to talk to him he grunts by way of answer and sinks fathoms deeper in gloom. And she weeps! ‘There are lots of other wives like you, poor little Twenty-two, who have husbands who have periodic fits of sulks and, like you, they feel that it is terribly unjust because they haven't done anything to provoke them, and so they wall and beat on their breast and cry their pretty eyes out, However, all your lamentations are of no avall, and if you are wise you will just laugh it off and take it as one of the phases of the wife job. Don't let it worry you, for it doesn’t mean a thing in the world, except that even a big, strong man enjoys acting like a spoiled baby now and then, and when it is over he emerges from his state of gloom in high spirits and filled with good nature. The best way to deal with it is just not to notice it, for there is really no point in a man’s assuming the pose of martyr if there is no one around to observe his sufferings. He might as well cheer up and be himself again. You have observed that if you exert yourself to try to comfort a baby and divert its attention it will howl its head off, but if you put it in & room and shut the door and leave it alone it will give a cry or two and then shut up.

Sit down and consider the matter calmly and dispassionately, for an elopement is not & romantic adventure, as you seem to think it is. It is taking a step that you can never retrace—a long, long step' that will take you from childhood to womanhood and that will lay on your little girlish shoulders burdens that they are too weak to bear. ¢ In the first place, you are too young to get married. So is the boy. Your age would be a fatal objection even if he were a proper person for you to marry. Neither one of you has had any experience of life, and you do not know enough to analyze your own emotion and tell whether what you feel for each other is just a passing fancy or real love. You haven't seen enough of other people to know whether you really prefer each other to some one else. You are like a child in a candy store that spends all of its money on the first thing it sees. Have sense to wait and look them over before you make your final choice. Then you haven’t had your playtime. Neither has he. If you elope now, b; the time you are 20 you will be a dragged-out, tired woman, with ymr Immz; prematurely gone and with a baby or two hanging on your skirts, and both you and your husband will be tired of each other and wondering what made you such fooel: as to marry so young.

FEATURES.’ WORLD FAMOUS STORIES A DREAM OF THE UNIVERSE. BY JEAN PAUL RICHTER. (Now and then a petuated bec: r which ft i1l this is such Into the great vesiibule of heaven God called up a man from his dreams, saying: “Come thou hither and see the glory of My house.” And, to the servants that stood round His throne, he said: “Take him and undress him from his Tobes of flesh; cleanse his vision and put a new breath into his nostrils; only touch not with an change his human heart—the heart that weeps and trembles.” It was done; and, with a mighty an- gel for his guide the man stood ready for his infinite voyage, and from the terraces of heaven, without sound or farewell, at once they wheeled away into endless space. Sometimes, with solemn flight of angel wings, they fled through Saharas of darkness—through wildernesses of | the world of life; death, that divid swept over frontlers somet!) they imes that were quickening under the pro- phetic motions from G od. ‘Then, from a distance that is counted | only in heaven light dawned for a time through a sleepy film; by unutterable pace the light swept to them; they, by unutterable pace, to the light. In a moment the rushing of planets was upon them, in a moment the biaz- ing of suns was around them. Then came eternities of twilight, that revealed, but were not revealed. On the right hand and on the left towered mighty constellations, that by self- repetition and answers from afar, that by counter positions, built up triumphal gates whose architraves, whose arch- ways—horizontal, upright—rested, rose —at_altitudes by spans that seemed ghostly from infinitude. ‘Without measure were the archi- traves, past number were the archways, beyond memory the gates. ithin were stairs that scaled the eternities below; above was below— below was above, to the man lf-flrped of gravitating body; depth was swallow- ed up in height insurmountable; height was swallowed up in depth unfathom- able. Suddenly, as thus they rode from infinite to infinite; suddenly, as thus they tilted over abvsmal worlds. a mighty cry arose that systems more mysterious, that worlds more biliowy, other heights and other denfhs. coming—were nearing—were at hand. ‘Then the man sighed and stopped rotect and shuddered and went. H's over- laden heart uttered itself in tears, and he sald: “Angel, I will go no further, for the spirit of man acheth with this infinity. Insufferable is the glory of God. Let me lie down in the grave and hide me from the persecutions of the Infinite; for end, I see, there is none.” And from all the listening stars that shone around issued 8 choral cry: “The man speaks truly; end there is none that ever yet we hsard of.” “End 1is there none?” angel solemnly demanded: “Is there indeed no e7nd, and is this the sorrow that kills ou” But no voice answered that he might answer himself. Then the angel threw up his glorious hands toward the heaven vens, sayi there none to the Universe o! “End is of God!
