WOMA N’S. PAGE. Convenient Little .Cardigans BY MARY MARSHALL. Cardigans have been with us for several seasons, but this year they have assumed a place of unusual importance. ! Once when we spoke of a cardigan we | thought of a single-breasted coat sweat- | er—similar to the coarse woolen jacket appropriate for street wear. Summer frocks are given a wider range of usefulness by accompanying cardi- gans which are, of course, long sleeved. These convenient little cardigans, made as they are of all weights of ma- terfal; will, I think, prove real blessings in s8lving’ the Summer dress problem for many women. Many of the new | dresses have cardigans or little jackets to go with them, but it is possible to find separate cardigans that will har- moniaé with dresses of various fabrics and colors.

DIET AND BY LULU HU Food Combinations. Mr. F.-Attributing future downs to wrong food combinations, such as your friend claims, is, to me, a spe- | ficious form of reasoning. Breakdowns may be due to a dozen different factors. I know of no acknowledged scientific food research worker, such as Steen- bock, Eddy, McCollum or Sherman, who claims that foods must be eaten in cer- tain combinations for health. There is no doubt that some stomachs are u,met by certain combinations, but the healthy one is not. The chief thing to remem- ber is to get the proper amount of all the necessary elements in the day’s diet. You say you now eat every combina- #lon. So can every normal person. Most foods are mixtures of different food principles. You eat bread alone a break- s s | had any relation to gallstones. whether the radio speaker you heard had any scientific data upon which to | base his conclusions. (Copyright, 1929.)

Edd of Alexan- drin, was arrested here this afternoon by Officer D. W. Westerfield upon information that he was attempting to tamper with troops of the Federal Gov- ernment and to parsuade them to desert and join the Southern Army. He was taken to the guardhouse and a pre- liminary_examination was held before Justice Donn in the presence of Col. Stone of the District Volunteers and Capt. Allen of New Jersey. Daniel Cox, a barkeeper at Werner's Restaurant, testified that Edd was in that restaurant and made proposit | to two Union soldiers of the New Je brigade, one Haney, a private in Capt. Allen's com- pany of the 3d Regiment. He said Edd | proposed to Haney that he desert and as an inducement offered to give him | money and extra clothing, send him to | Alexandria in a hack and thence to get better pay than from the Federal Government and “serve under a better man.” John Kerwin corroborated this testimony. ‘Thomas E. Williams, another witness, said he had heard a portion of the conversation of Edd with Haney, and heard Haney speak of going “into Jefl Davis’ army.” He said the two men left the restaurant together and had pro- ceeded as far as the Seventh street bridge when he caused Edd’s arrest. William J, Donohoo, former tax col- lector, was arrested tonight by a squad of the Metropolitan Rifles and taken to the guardhouse to await the crders of Gen.

BY J. P. GLASS. Cscar Wilde, the British poet, novel- | a ist and playwright, who was a fival of James Abbott McNeill Whistler, the American artist, as a wit, may have come off second best in his encounters with Whistler, but nevertheless he was in the same class with the American when it came to smart rejoinder. The spontaneity of his wit was fre- quently shown. On one occasion he was engaged in conversation with Sir Lewis Morris, au- thor of “The Epic of Hades.” Sir Lewis was talking about the death of Tenny- son and the discussion that had fol- lowed regarding his successor ‘as poet- laureate. Sir Lewis felt that he had a right to the laureateship, but com- plained that his claims were being re- cefved with studied neglect. “It is a complete conspiracy of si- lence against me—a conspiracy of si- lence! What ought I to do, Oscar?” he said. “Join it,” replied Wilde. Speaking of Meredith and Browning, Wilde remarked, “Meredith is a prose Browning—and so is Browning.” Wilde's personal introduction to America came during a lecture tour and it was on his arrival in New York that he chose to display his eccentricity. Asked at the custom house if he had anything to declare, he replied: “I have nothing to declare except my genius.” A Russian who visited in London gave BEAUTY CHATS a P! b aj ‘White Arms. You can bleach your arms, if they are too dark, You can use lemon juice on them full strength, the best way being to cut a lemon into several thick slices and rub these all over the arms, after they have been washed and dried. As soon as the juice stings (if it does, for it has no such effect on some skins), wash it off with warm water and dry and powder. You can bleach the arms with di- luted, fresh peroxide of hydrogen. I think the best way to use this is to take a wad of cotton; wring it out of warm water, making it fairly dry, then soak it with the peroxide and rub this on. Wash off in a minute or so. This is especially good for arms that have prominent hair on them, for it bleaches the hair and keeps down its growth.
