One can_ hardly walk down the cor- ridor adjacent to the main entrance of the House with- out_having his at- tention attracted to this figure in mar- ble. Martin Mad- den seems as if he is about to speak to the passerby from his nook there in the wail. The sculptor has caught the spirit of the man. From the white graven image of Madden there fairly radiate the qualities that won for him the re- spect and confidence of every one of his associates—Republicans and Demo- crats. ‘There have been few figures in the last quarter century to occupy the place that Martin Madden held inthe public life of this country. As chairman of the powerful House committee on appropriations his infiu- ence wae wide. Presidents, cabinet offi- cers and executive heads of the govern- mental departments sought his counsel. His colleagues of both parties credit him with saving the country literally millions of dollars annually in the sup- ply bills. But it is Martin Madden the man that Capitol Hill remembers better than Martin Madden the statesman. Rugged, full of vitality, full of en- ergy, he at all times displayed kindlie ness and friendliness to those with whom he came in contact While still very young he was de- prived of a foot in an industrial acci- dent. But he was always smiling, even as he stood on the floor of the House when he was suddenly stricken One of the finest examples of friend- ghip one can think of existed between | Madden and Elliott M. Sproul, also a member of Congress from Illinois. It had its beginning when they were both contractors in Chicago. It lasted until Madden breathed his last in the arms of Sproul in April of last year Fred Britten, Representative in Con- gress from Illinois, says of this friend- 't suppose ‘Daddy’ Sproul ever went to sleep at night time without first thinking of his dear old friend Martin.” Madden was suddenly stricken while at his duties on Capitol Hill last April. Within a very short time he was dead.

But whatever the kind it must be soft or at least sufficiently yielding to be comfortable. There should be & wide-brimmed hat. Those who find “sun_suits” to their | liking can have their frocks for garden work cut low in the back and sleeveless. | The fad for going_stockingless can be indulged in, for where could the con- servative semisun baths be more suit- | ably taken than in the privacy of one's own back yard? A garden basket is important. These come in the “fitted” style, handsome baskets, leather lined, with pockets and straps, each filled with the proper tool for its space. It is only a few, however, | that have such an equipped garden | basket. Some women even prefer a lighter type of basket. unlined and hav- | ing the tools of her special choosing and usually of her special preference of make. i Among the tools there should always | be found a trowel, kept sharpened at the tip: a sofl loosener, which reminds one of a tiny, stubby pitchfork: a | pruning hook, a’pair of clippers, garden | shears and a sharp knife. To these can | be added many other tools of basket | size. A spade selected for its size should not be so large that it is unwieldy in a woman's hands. There should also be an iron rake and a sickle. To these, as was the case with the besket tools, each woman will want to add implements of her own choice. (Copyright. DAILY DIET RECIPE FROSTING FOR LITTLE CAKES OR PETITS FOURS.

The sugar must always be added to the sirup, not the sirup to the sugar. This icing can be pour- ed over rows of fancy little cakes spread on cake racks. The icing that runs off on the porcelain table can be scraped up, put back in pot, melted over hot water, and used for another row. It is possible to make different colors, such as white, yellow, crange, chocolate by successively coloring the icing. Or white to pink to rose to red.

At the age of 22 he was chair- man of the Republican county com- mittee. A year later he was re-elected city commissioner of Kearny, serving two terms as fire and police 'commis- | sioner. H And in November of last year, four months before he reached the age & | 26, he was elected to Congress. i “And don't forget.” he told the writer, | “I was put into every single one of those | jobs by less than 1,000 votes over my opponents.” | His choice as city commissioner was | by a margin of 200 votes. He was re- | elected by 400. He gained a berth on the Republican county committee by | only 13 votes. He was sent to Con- | gress with only 321 votes to spare, and then only after a recount. Hartley regards his contest for Con- gress the greatest thrill he has ever ex- perienced. A stalwart organization Re- ublican, he was turned down cold by is party leaders because of his youth. Not to be daunted, he entered the pri- nomination by 714 votes. “How they did taunt me with my lack of ‘age in that campaign” he said. “Pcople constantly were teiling me that they agreed with my platform, but they could not vote to send & ‘kid’ to Con- gress. My manager at Bayonne had his jaw broken at one stormy rally. Only a miracle saved my uncle from having his skull crushed with the butt of a gun. And there's no way of telling how many automobile tires I bought as a result of the malice of my foes.” ‘To meet the opposition to his youth Hartley adopted as his campaign slogan: “It took a 26-year-old boy to carry the spirit of America to Paris.

NANCY PAGE June Brides Always Fair to Look Upon BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Nina's wedding was best described by | the word “sweet.” She herself was a young girl of 20, fair and slight. dress was of soft satin in the creamy pink of a pearl. It brought out all the color in her cheeks and gave her eyes a luminous quality which made her ex- ceedingly fair to look upon, Her ats the pastel shades. The dresses were sleeviess, but as each girl woré a coat of the same material as the dress, the ef- fect was charming. The dresses were long in back, but short in front. Their hats were of natural-color straw, while the bride’s veil was of tulle, arranged in a series of ruffies or capes, which added to the fluttery, soft effect. The attendants wore shoes to match the hats. The flower girls wore Kate Green- away dresses of white organdy. The sleeves were short and puffed. A ruffie 1rill outlined the neck and finished the sleeves and hem. Their socks and shoes were white. They wore short white cot- ton gloves. The high waistline was ac- centuated by a ribbon sash with bows and long ends. Ribbons were used also of peach, the second of yellow and the third of pink. The same colors were repeated in the tight little bouquets they carried of garden flowers. These bouquets resembled the old-fashioned by a frill of paper lace. (Copyright. 1929.)

I want to get on | harmoniously with his wife and not be a disturbing factor in his household. Can you give me any points about how to be a good mother-in-law?" | Well. the main factor in being a good mother-in-law consists in taking the | rignt attitude toward it. The reason that most women fail as mothers-in-law is because they are so surcharged with jealousy that it colors all their actions toward thelr sons’ wives. They look through green spectacles at the poor little brides thelr sons have brought home and take & distorted view of everything they do. It is a funny thing that women want their daughters to marry and that they ‘welcome their sons-in-law with open arms, but it is nearly always the bitterness of death to them to have their sons marry, and they hate, sight unseen, ihe scheming minxes who, they feel, have literally robbed them of their guileless little bovs. There is never any difficulty in telling which is the bride’s mother and which is the bridegroom’s mother at a wedding. The smiling, triumphant lady is the bride’s mother. The poor. tear-sodden creature, who looks as if life | | were a total loss, is the bridegroom's mother. Begin, then, by taking a sane and safe outlook on the situation. Don't pity | vourself and feel that fate has dealt you a sinister blow because your son is getting married. Don't talk about its being hard to have to give him up. Don't wail out that it tears your heart in two for him to put another woman above yourself and love her better than he does you. JRECOGNIZE that it is perfectly natural for him to marry and found & family ! and that he will be a better and a more useful man for doing so and that it is the thing that you should want him to do. Realize that his marriage won't separate you from him unless you quarrel with his wife. In fact, men nearly always appreciate their mothers more after marriage than they did before, because marriage gives them a more poignant understanding of what wifehood and motherhood really cost a woman. Don't resent his love for his wife, because the affection that a man has for his wife and his mother don’t clash. So brgin by giving your new daughter-in-law the glad hand. Make her feel that you regard her as an agreeable addition to the family and not as an | interloper, and then set yourself assiduously to work to vamp her. Use every art and wile and blandishment in your repertoire to win her heart, for on your making friends with her depends whether you keep your son or have him | alienated from you. Take the initiative in doing this because you are older and more worldly wise than vour daughter-in-law and you should have, at least, more self-control and tact in meeting difficult situations than she has. Also, because it is far more important to you for her to love you than it is to her for you to love her. She could get along very well without you, but life would mean nothing to you if she put a barrier between you and your son. So study her weaknesses and learn to play up to them, instead of knocking them. Learn to dodge her angles and respect her “Keep-Off-the-Grass signs. Jolly her along and “sell” yourself to her as if she were a million-dollar prospect. If your daughter-in-law has to live in your house, regard her as an honored guest. If you go to live in her house, never forget that you are a guest and that you must adapt yourself to the ways of your hostess and refrain from interfering in the management of her household. Yeo1 must remember how cocksure you were of your judgment on every point when you were a bride, what stress you put on trifles and how jealous you were of your authority. Every voung married woman feels the same way, and the chief reason she hates having mother-in-law around is because not one :‘omanh:nnl million can see another woman making a pie without putting her nger . Treat your daughter-inlaw as if she were your daughter. If you had a daughter you would want her to have all the pretty things her husband could possibly give her. You would want her to have all the pleasures that came her way. Then show your daughter-in-law that you are pleased when she gets a new frock, instead of looking sour and making a few caustic remarks about wives who waste their husbands’ money in extravagance. Urge her to go to places of amusement and to keep up with her clubs and her bridge and suggest to her husband that he take her out at nights now and then, instead of grumbling about wives who gad too much every time you see her put on her hat. [DON'T sive vour daughter-in-law an overdose of your society. Don't be an | old woman of the sea who is always hanging around the necks of her son | and his wife. Every young couple who love each other want to be by themselves | | sometimes. They have things to say to each other that they don’t want even | their mother to hear. | So don't always sit with them of an evening. Go to your own room and read a book, or go visiting, or go to the movies with a crony. Don't always fill up the back seat when they take a ride. If you possibly can, go somewhere now and then on a visit or to some pleasure resort. There is nothing like judicious s#paces of absence to make the heart grow fonder of an in-law. Don't criticize your daughter-in-law. Her ways may not be your ways, but such as they are she has a right to them. Possibly they aré a modern improve- ment. If she makes mistakes let her find out her error for herself. Don't tell vanity stabbed. Bite your tongue off rather than make suggestions. No human being is more aggravating to live with than the chronic adviser, and don't always be telling your daughter-in-law how you used to do everything, from making coffee to bossing a husband. There is entirely new set of rules for the game now. In a word, be kindly. Be human. Be affectionate and sympathetic. Keep | your hands off and you will be Acgmd mo!};g;-in-llw. DOROTHY DIX.

If it isn't, there are things to be done, even to noses, to improve them. This is a practical chat on methods and | ways to deal with an imperfect nose. First, its complexion. That must be perfect, and can be. If the pores are | coarse, here's the treatment. Buy a | small tin of the gritty white soap paste | sold for ‘'mechanics. - Mix it half and half, with ordinary cleansing cream. Wash the face 50 as to remove all pow- der, with plain warm water, but no soap. Rub in a small amount of this | paste, gently, and let it stay on the | skin only a minute or two. Such rub- bing as you do should be around the nostrils, ‘where the pores are largest Rinse out with hot water until every bit of the paste, and the dirt it takes | up, is gone. Rinse with cold water to close the pores and use ice on the nose if convenicnt. As this treatment may be too drying, rub on cleansing cream as a lubricant, but only after the pores | have been shrunk and tightly closed by | the cold. | A red nose or a swollen nose cothes from indigestion, thick blood, or im- perfection circulation. Blood purifying | tonies, proper diet. laxatives, are the | best correctives. And massaging and tapping the nose all over with the fin- ger tips, will start this blood circula ing more freely and relieve this conges- tion almost at once. Remember that the circulation is more sluggish here than anywhere else. The soap paste treatment is also good for a shiny nose, as this takes out the extra oiliness. A milder treatment is to make a paste with starch and cold | water, rub this on and let it dry, and | then 'rinse off after half an hour. Powdered oatmeal is good for this, too. | In the following cases the appellate courts in various jurisdictions held that the verdicts awarded by juries for in- juries resulting in death were inade- quate, and awarded new trials:, One dollar—Death of a jeweler who earned $18 a week and provided a home | and support for two daughters.
