One exquisitely groomed young woman |of my acquaintance dresses entirely in white during the warm months. Her felt hats, which look as if they had just | come from the shop, are being cleaned | all the time she is not wearing them. | ‘This is made possible by the fact that | she puts them away after every wearing |in a paper bag partially filled with | French chalk, shaking the chalk around s0 that it comes into contact with the hat. White gloves, or indeed any light kid ones, will stay clean much longer |if a little of this inexpensive cleaning | mixture is sifted over them in the box. | If one lives where there is much dust or soot, dustproof containers are a | great adjunct to keeping the wardrobe {at its best. A wee bag of sachet sus- pended inside of garment containers is |a touch not overlooked by some women. | It should be rémembered that perspira- tion does not have to remain perma- nently in gowns if tho saturated parts | |are immersed in hot water immediately |after wearing. If time elapses before this is done, the effect is not the same. ! One woman who delights in the perfec- | |tion of her personal accessories and is |of limited means frequently applies a | little cleaning fluid to the portion of her collars which come at the back of the {neck so that the dingy line which in- evitably appears there without some such treatment never arrives, or at| least not until the entire article is in |need of cleansing. If time permits, gloves should receive similar treatment | after each of the first few wearings that immediately follow their return from the cleaners. SPRINGTIME BY D. C.

Green twilights they are, and often and often I go, at sun- down, to watch them closing around me as I sit on a log in that forgotten, magical strip of land between the old canal and the river, above Georgetown. | There, in the first pale greeny-gold the elm leaf and the sycamore, the box elder and the maple, make a fine tracery overhead, and in the rich black ground many & small wild flower begins— Spring-beauty and trillilum, white vio- let and golden cowslip. Over the river the first-come swal- lows skim, hunting the rising, falling midge swarms, and from out the woods, grown eerie in the dusk, rise all of those first, exciting sounds—the trill of tree toadys, and the wackety-wacking of the frogs, the sleepy call of the first yellow- billed cuckoo, the enchantment of the thrush, that lets his notes drip-drop as though they were a precious fluid spilled upon the quiet, or the uncertain, cau- tious whippoorwill lifting his voice ex- perimently, only to let it die away abashed by his own unseasonable te- merity.” Then, having seen and heard, one must go quickly home; in a moment the magic will dim, the sorcerer’s spell dissolve, and the city night will bear ‘which some women's clothes retain long OIIR CHILDREN By Angelo Patri May Day.

There is health in the thought of their freedom.

Beauty springs from health. The light in the eye of a healthy child, the color of the cheeks, the laughter of his spirit is beautiful beyond all else. The work of the healthy body is the flower of the creative spirit when it expresses the health that is in it. ‘Would you have your child beautiful 4n body and spirit? Strong in mind and body?

CRAIG. May 8, 1861.—Solicitous citizens, 1ather than the troops themselves, are complaining at what they assume to be the unnecessary delay—of many hours in some instances—in providing the va- rious detachments of troops with quar- ters here. But this delay is believed to be much exaggerated, and to the ex- tent that it does exist it is easily ex- |plained. It is declared that so large {an army, arriving suddenly in a city of the size of Washington, was never before so soon furnished with quarters and_provisioned. The delays that do occur now and then are rarely chargeable upon the officers of the Quartermaster Depart- ment, under whose general superinten- dence such matters are now being man- aged here. The case of 3,000 New Jersey troops, of whom came into Washington within the space of 24 hours, illustrates the situation. An officer of those troops was dispatched ahead of them to see that their quarters and other needs were ready on their arrival. Everything was duly arranged in advance, and the duty of conducting them to their quar- ters devolved upon their own officer. But he was inexperienced and failed to lead them to their quarters upon their arrival. Nine-tenths of the arriving regi- mental quartermasters and commis- saries are wholly without experience in the duties of their several positions. Hence the confusion that has so far marked the arrival and departure of the troops at and from New York, Perryville and Annapolis. A very little time only is required to correct these evils, it is declared. The officers of the Quartermaster Department here are rapidly perfecting their arrangements, and in a few days it is expected that they will have every- thing in such order around them as that the inexperience of the arriving regimental- staff officers will no longer cause embarrassments. Yesterday near- ly every tinner and stove man in this city was at work preparing proper cook- ing facilities in all the buildings so far rented for quarters. ‘The “Pet Lambs,” as Col. Ellsworth's 1st Regiment of New York Zouaves are called, are attracting much attention here today. A finer body of men for military service can scarcely be im- agined than these newly arrived young, athletic, ambitious and intelligent sol- MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. Collars and Cuffs.

STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, WEDNESDAY, MAY 8 1929." BY J. P. In 750 the Ommiades, that dynasty of Mohammedan caliphs which had ruled the far-flung Arablan Empire | from Damascus since the year 661, was overthrown by the Abbassides. Abdullah, the new Caliph, did not in- tend that any of the old line should | survive. He invited 90 of the principal | members to a banquet. As they feasted they were set upon and murdered. The scene that followed outdid the cruelest conceptions of Caligula or Nero. The "banquet tables were removed, carpets were thrown over the corpses of the murdered, the food that had been | prepared was placed on these, and | Abdullah and his followers continued | their feast, even as the dying groaned | and bled beneath the carpets. ‘Throughout the country the Abba- sides searched for other Ommiades. | But Abdurrahman, a youthful prince of | the dynasty, escaped. Long were his wanderings thereafter, for he was hunted everywhere. But finally he joined the Nefezah tribe of Arabians, in which is modern Algeria, and with them gained refuge, for they were the tribe of his mother. | The years had filled Abdurrahman | with bitter longing for revenge.

Many will | be gratified, too, by the knowledge that our new money will be improved in| several ways over the kind now in cir- culation. We have discovered new things, and we have found a few ways to meet the modern demands of money. First of all you will not find bills so bulky in your handbag in the near future. The reason is that the new bills will be only two-thirds the size of the present bill. They will fit ‘without folding into ordinary sized envelopes, and will fit more comfortably in your hands. One of the reasons why money has worn so quickly has been because of the constant folding and refolding nec- essary. The new bill requires much less folding, and so will last longer, and will be cleaner and fresher. Another feature of the new currency will be that all bills of each denomin- ation will bear the same portraits. The face ‘of Washington will be on all dol- lar bills, Jefferson on twos, Lincoln on fives, Hamilton on_tens, Jackson on twentles, Grant on flifties, Franklin on one hundreds, McKinley on five hun- dreds, Cleveland on one thousands, and Madison on five thousands. You will be able to recognize the denomination of a bill at a glance. The back of each bill will be printed in big letters on the back. It appears that| the chance of giving out the wrong de- nomination of bill is exceedingly slight. No more yellow backs will be in cir- culation when the new ones have re- placed the old. The faces of all bills will be printed in black and the backs in green. ‘To allay any fears that may be felt, the old bills will 1, of course, always re- | (Copyright, 1929. baked!

The re- fugee's intent was to wrest the land from its rulers and found an independ- ent kingdom. On a Spring day in 756 Abdurrah- man landed near Malaga, in Andalusia, where he was joined by many chiefs who still swore allegiance to the Om- miades. Near Cordova he met and de- feated the army of Yusuf, emir of the Abbasides. And thus he became Caliph of the West, ruling the independent kingdom of Abdurrahman I. His dy- nasty was to continue until 1031. Abdurrahman might have learned a lesson in gentleness through his perse- cutions by the Abbasides. But he did not. When Almansur, then Caliph of the East, sent an army to conquer him, which suffered a bloody defeat, Abdur- ahman arranged a terrible reprisal. He had the heads of the Abbasides general and many of his officers cut off. These were put in bags, which were carried to Africa by merchants and silently deposited at the door of Alman- sur in the dead of night. Word was sent Almansur that the bags contained treacure. He opened them with his own hand and fell back, horror-stricken. “This man is a fiend in human form!” he seid. “Praised be Allah, he has placed a sea between him and me.” Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLE! their value. Tt is quite psosible that quite a few will be put away in the hopes that in the distant future they | will have value as curiosities. It is estimated that the new bills will begin to find their way into our handbags some time during the Sum- mer. Once they are issued, old bills will ‘disappear forever when' they get into the hands of banks.

There are lots of people who try to be witty and end up by being funny. They think that they are wise crackers when they are only animal crackers. The antics of a pup are funny but that | little dog is no joker. How can a woman be witty when | most of the wit is supposed to belong to men? She can do this by recognizing the fact that there is wit and wit, a kind for her as well as a kind for him. | Now I might give you a recipe for making cake and you may be a poor cook. Or you may bake a good caks without any recipe if you know how | and are used to that sort of thing. So | with humor. Some are just naturally droll and amusing while others cannot be, no matter how hard they try. But, still, | wit can be cultivated and one can make | a business of being humorous just as| much as of being polite. To make witty remarks, you must sense the resemblances between thing: and the more rémote they are the fun- nier they sound if there is any re- semblance at all. Wit comes from sudden contrasts be- tween the real and ideal. If you are going to make your wise cracks, you must have your mind open on all sides. You use the mind’s various windows in- stead of the obvious door. Or you exaggerate but in a way that sounds natural. Some people are so gifted that they can sense these re- semblances, contrasts and misfit sizes. All they need is their audience. Man may be witty, for wit is often of a sarcastic nature. But a woman can be humorous, which is different. Wit separates the person who is ridiculed so that the laugh is on him. Humor unites all in one common world of merriment. We laugh at things and people generally, not any one in particular. Hence it is better to be a humorous girl who gets the laugh on everybody and nobody than to be pain- fully funny. 1f you are going to be humorous, you mustn’t take yourself too seriously. You must have poise and perfect self-confi- dence, ‘The comedienne knows that people will laugh at her song and so she ad- vances to the footlights boldly. You aren't headed for the stage, I hope, but you can develop a sense of humor which will make you witty with- out making you nettle people. o — & Flnal DCCISID]"I. | — <o I have decided after weighing the facts at hand with ceaseless care, that I will not be found conveying a bootleg cargo anywhere. The bootleg trade, when well conducted, affords much profit, I've been told; the dealer, prop- erly instructed, can fill his treasure chest with gold. He may be living in a palace, with slaves responding to his 1, and drink from gold or silver chalice the booze that is too good to sell. He may go sailing on the waters in yacht that cost a million bones, the while his wife and queenly daughters are loaded down with precious stones. And yet I've finally decided to let that risky business be; the spoils, by other men divided, will not succeed in tempt- ing me. For I behold the statutes tighten, the pains and penalties grow worse; they surely are enough to fright- en the man who does the tale rehearse. The man who sells a quart of brandy, of bourbon, gin or bottled ale. should have a corps of lawyers handy or he may spend his life in jail. There he will feed on moldy crackers, and know that if he's ever free, he’ll owe the courts ten thousand smackers, a fine from which he cannot fiee. He'll have to sell his stately palace, the yacht in which he loves to sail, and ask his wife, the queenly Alice, to soak her gems to furnish bail. Not all the paper money printed could lure me into such a trade; not all the gold and silver minted would make this resolution fade. ‘WALT MASON.

On the other hand, many avail | themselves of the most trivial circum- | stances to collect “damages” from public service com- panies. Some time ago a certain man hailed | a street car. He was unfam iliar £] with the section of the city in which he was traveling and asked the con- ductor to let him off at a specified street. It hap- pened that the car was scheduled to stop at every other block, with the re- sult that the man was carried a | square beyond his destination. Alight- ing, he carefully noted the number of | the car and the time. Shortly afterward the company re- ceived a complaint from him to the effect that he had patronized one of its cars for the purpose of calling upon a person to collect an amount of money. Because of. the fact that he had been carried beyond the point at which he wished to get off, he was late in keep- ing his appointment. Thus'he missed seeing the party and failed to get the money. It was no more than fair, he insisted, that the car company make good the loss. According to reports, he did not suc- ceed in convincing the officials that he was entitled to an award. “Very few claims for personal in- juries are made,” said one adjuster. “The traffic regulations in this city are 50 clear cut that the blame can be casily discovered.” ik “Please the women.” said a local the- atrical manager. “They are the barom- | | eter by which we record the success or | failure of our players.

This is true of practically all men’'s wearing apparel, including shoes, shirts and hats.
