None of the great French dressmakers ever deliberately set out to design dresses for the housewife to wear when she goes about her household tasks. And yet nowadays the up-to-date housewife their artistic skill to designing smart, wearable and practical sports clothe The new house frocks for warm- weather wear are many of them sleeve- less, like the dresses designed for wa weather tennis; and many of them have slightly ecircular flaring skirts following the lines of the new sports dresses. Gingham is used for many of the new house dresses, as it is for many of the new sports dresses. Linen has the ad- vantage of being easily laundered but the disadvantage of showing wrinkles more quickly than cotton fabrics. There are new printed cotton voiles that need only the quickest sort of pressing to make them presentable after they have been washed. Many of the nmew cotton and linen dresses this season are provided with light-weight hats of linen or pique suit- | able for country or resort wear. ‘This week’s circular gives a diagram pattern for a charming little poke bonnet, the original of which was made to go with a young girl's Summer dress.

She sent for M. Cassel, director of public safety, and asked him to examine the book. In picking it up he saw some small whitish particles drop from it to the table. Finding these to be inflamma- ble, he took the book to the laboratory of M. Girard, in the prefecture of police. In a short time he came back to Mme. Constans. “That book contained eno dyna- :ma to blow up your home,” he told er. Mme. Constans fainted. She was ill eight days. As for M.

I doubt whether he would like it or write it. For it is one of the further handicaps of chronic anger that it isn't conducive to self-analysis.

NANCY PAGE Nancy Acquires an English Nurse Maid BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. The ground was broken for their new house and Peter could scarcely walt until dinner was finished. He wanted to start right out with Nancy to see what progress had been made during the day. But Nancy was not ready to go. Joan had to be put to bed and Peter Page, jr, was another problem. She could not go away and leave him. Peter told her he had made some extra money and she could have it for a nursemaid, furnishings for new home or for clothes. She already had a woman coming in to help her with the cleaning. She knew the new home would get furnished some way in due She would put the money into a nursemaid’s sal- ary. With a competent person at home she could be the companion of old whom Peter had married. After all she was a wife first, and a mother aft- erward. That made her realize she had better put some of the money into clothes. Peter had married a girl who was al- ways well dressed, with an air of smartness. Why ehould she become dowdy just because she had a husband and child? She decided against a high school girl since she realized that it took more than a person who “adored” chil- dren to bring them up correctly. There is more to child care than just “mind- ing” the baby. She wanted a college girl who was majoring in child care, but a search in the psychology department of the uni- versity brought none to light.

ONE of the most curious things about women is the gift they.have for deluding themselves and believing just what they want to believe. They seem constitutionally incapable of looking facts in the face and accepting them as they are, instead of as they wish them to be. And experience teaches them nothing. When they are 80 years old they are still hanging up their stockings and expecting Santa Claus to fill them with their heart's desire. . ‘This fatal optimism is the re: why 50 many women make messes of their lives. It is because they exist in a fairy-book world, where all your wishes come true, instead of realizing that they live in a hard-boiled world, where you have to fight tooth and nail for all you can get. 1t explains why women are not more of a success in business than they are. So long as boys and girls are in school together they display about the same amount of mental ability. There is nothing that the boys learn that the girls can't learn equally well. Indeed, in some colleges it has been claimed that coeducation is a failure because the girls walk away with most of the prizes. But when the youngsters go out to work, it is a different story. The boy soon far outstrips the girl. And why? Because she has only one eye on her job. The other is roaming around in search of the fairy prince, who, she is sure, will soon bear her to his enchanted castle. She believes this beatific fate 1s bound to become hers fust because she wants to believe it, and not because there is any evidence to justify her faith. She may be as homely as the proverbial mud fence; she may lack wit and grace and every charm that could allure a man. But that doesn't prevent her from feeling that it isn't worth while to prepare herself thoroughly for her work, or to make any effort to attain skill in it so as to make herself worth a good salary. She makes no attempt to perfect herself in her job because she regards it as merely temporary. Something,that she is just doing to fill in the time until she marries the boss, or the boss’ son, or a millionaire, . AND what's the matter with matrimony for most women, except that they % have hynotized themselves into belleving it to be a romance that ends in “and they lived happily ever afterward,” so that they are childishly peeved when they find out that instead of marriage being a perpetual picnic, it is a life sentence at hard labor for most women, Of course, they have seen that thelr mothers and their sisters and their aunts didn't have such a hilarious time of it, and that their fathers and their brothers-in-law and their uncles didn't qualify in the Valentino class, but they befooled themselves into thinking that whatever en missed,’ they were goin et husbands who we lovers, and who would be go-getters (6 boot. ¥ apeielsiasial 8ift down the complaints of most of the married women who we :':xfdl‘)::;sptomddfil:\g you tihalr r‘;:latflmonlal blues and it comes to this: T;‘l’l‘;?\:‘y‘ ed in marriage because it doesn' Ry e e Tt g n't come up to the fancy picture They are disappointed in their husbands because they are just instead of being godmn.

Nobody need suffer the disfigurement of superfluous hair on the face. There are too many ways of getting rid of it. It you have the money and time, you can go to an electric-needle specialist and have the hairs removed by a multi- ple-needle process, which is not painful it properly done and which removes many hairs at a time, most of them be- ing permanently removed. Some beauty shops, however, use different kinds of wax or paste, which harden around the hairs and pull them out in a quite pain- less and harmless fashion. Of course, this is all right as a tem- porary measure, but the little hairs un- der the skin will continue to form and in time grow out. Do not be worried about this, there are always many hairs buried deep in the follicle under the skin, and, of course, under normal and hn:thy conditions they must grow out again. The best way is to make the condi- tions less healthy—that is, less healthy for the new hair, Before gou begin to pull out the hairs, cover the skin with a little full-strength peroxide of hydro- gen.

An unpressed suit and lusterless shoes were indica- tive of “doggishness” among the select of the idealists in our coterie of serious thinkers. ‘There was a time right here in Washington when we regarded a saw- dust-strewn floor and bare table tops as the only appropriate setting for the place where one might enunciate those theories, moronic now, in the light of present reflection. The ladies of the group were flat- heeled and flat-tired. Rouge and pow- der and vanity cases were allen to their lives. Razors, cold cream and talcum were the gadgets of the poser, and we were exponents of the truth. Neat white collars, a carefully mas- saged suit and glistening shoes had nothing to do with painting better pictures or writing better books.

His face had recently been treated by & tonsorial artist. ~His clothes were pressed to a knife edge. His fingers were carefully manicured, and, gener- ally speaking, he looked like a poster of what the Summer man was wearing. It was whispered that he drew and painted pictures. Also it was said that there couldn’t be much art about them, for people could understand them and the editors actually pald money for his illustrations. That was enough to blackball him. A few days later he appeared again, accompanied by a peculiar-looking girl. Most materialists would have called her beautiful, Her hair was meticulously arranged and her gown was wrinkle- less. And she wore high heels. This was all very disturbing to the little group who didn’t care what anybody thought about them. “A strange lot of folks, these,” he murmured to his lady friend, who nod- ded her head acquiescently. One night the small tables were all occupied, and the strangers were com- pelled to join a group at a long table. Michael had been unusually busy that night serving what was known in the distant days as beer. Stimulated by its magic beads, one of the idealists rose and suggested that the stranger make a speech. Glasses banged on the table tops, and the stranger modestly stood. He went straight at his subject. “I am an srtist,” he said. How could he be, when people under- stood what he painted and editors bought his wares? “Moreover, I am a stranger in this city and sought the companionship of kindred workmen. This is what I have found. My friend here is a novelist.
