WOMAN’S PAG English Umbrella Fashions BY MARY MARSHALL. ‘Umbrella fashions-usually come from land and any American who has visited London during a period of wet weather would doubtless feel that that city deserves to be the dictator of um- brella fashions. ‘The newest umbrellas in London are THE BROWN AND TAN SILK UM- BRELLA AT THE LEFT HAS A BROWN WOODEN HANDLE SUR- MOUNTED WITH AN AMBER KNOB.

The rather small umbrellas that have recently been favored are all very well in a crowd. But in a heavy downpour of rain there is much to be said for the really large umbrella that keeps the downpour of rain well away from one's shoulder. The new English umbrellas have crooked handles and are long enough to be used A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER. ‘The little town of Hyattsville, Md., on .the outskirts of the National Capital, boasts that oné of its most distinguished - citizens is a wizard at tree surgery. © And if one is in- “clined to doubt the “claim, then proof can be had readily. “The front and back yards of Senator +Smith M. Brook- “hart of Iowa are studded with trees -saved by the Sen- ator himself. Instead of play- ing golf for recrea- ~tion, Senator Brook- hart climbs trees .and acts as_their -physician. Tree surgery has been <his hobby for a ~great many years. =And he has become -an_expert. : Alm':? any afternoon the Senator _may be found working around his trees | “at his home on Ralston street. He is _never happier than whe: 'hu sennt:'l -duties lighten up enough for him get home in time to indulge in his +hobby before nightfall. - . Clad in overalls he goes from one to -the other, searching for defects that re- quire attention. There's one beautiful -old maple tree that he loves especially. His knowl of tree surgery has pro- longed its life indefinitely. But Senator Brookhart’s real field is the orchard. Out_in Washington, Iowa, his home town, he owns a small farm and apple orchard. He has a reputation in Towa as being one of the foremost apple growers in the State. Apples from his orchard have taken first place at the Iowa State fair. Once he was awarded the blue ribbon at an exhibition in Kansas City. He planted the orchard himself and it has been bearing fruit only three years. | ‘The Senator confesses that he misses nothing quite so_much as he does his apple orchard. In fact, he is almost | persuaded to buy one near Washington that he might have a place where he can spend his spare time. At the pres- ent he must content himself with the half dozen or more trees he planted in his back yard at Hyattsville. Trees and tree surgery of all kinds | appeal to Senator Brookhart tremen- dously. His associates say that as hzl rides through the country he is ful to observe all of the orchards along the way. He is quick to note wrong methods and point them out. Senator Brookhart also is an expert rifieman. He was an instructor in marksman- ship in the Camp Perry and Camp Ben- ning Schools during the World War. He also was captain of the American Palma rifle team in 1912, winning the world championship. He has served four “terms as president of the National Rifle Association of America. p: From 1894 until the World War, with the exception of five years, Senator Brookhart served in the Iowa National Guard. He is a veteran of the Span- ish-American War, saw service on the Mexican border as a major, and was a lieutenant colonel of infantry in the World War. Senator Copeland of New York, the BEAUTY CHATS Details. More than half the time the pretty woman is only the one who has taken & great deal of pains to make herself look well. Features and coloring do not count heavily against such things as—a perfect complexion, well ke&t hands and. beautifully tended nails, nicely arranged hair, a good figure, which is carried well, neat clothes, and well planned details of costume. These are all things t any woman can have, rich, poor, busy, or with all the day | to look after herself. How much do ! ou think perfect features would count, f the hair was badly cut and carelessly brushed, the nails dirty, the clothes | chosen with poor taste and put on in haphazard fashion? Would the most attractive legs look well if the stocking seams went crookedly up the back? I'd advise you to try out six new styles of having your hair done, for you may find the perfect method. If | not, try six more new ways and keep on ou do. Search every shop in for the perfect dress for yourself; buy the first one you happen to and don't buy it because your chum has a similar one.

One of the newest umbrella fashions | of American origin is the crooked-han- | die umbrella covered with light-weight, waterproef covert cloth. Another nov- elty consists of an umbrella handle the top of which has a patent coin holder large enough to hold a number of small coins which may be released one at a | time by pressing the top of the handle. | "Dual-purpose umbrellas that may be used either for rain or for sun appeal to the woman who likes to be prepared for | any sort of weather. These umbrellas | must be substantial enough to stand a | downpour of rain, but not too somb:r { to look appropriate when skies are blue | {and the sun shines bright. There are new umbrellas of this description cov- ered with figured silk—rather small, quaint figures that look as if they might | appropriately be carried by a Normandy peasant on a holiday.

I United States Senate’s physician and | sanitarian, went to the White House | recently to see the President on official business. When he entered the executive offices | he sniffed. Then he glanced at the President inquiringly. His gaze next traveled around the room. He frowned, then a sinile flitted Going to 8 win- dow, he threw it up. “You need air, plenty of air, if you are going to keep fit for this job,” he said. “The ventilation in_this office is very bad.” » The President smiled and thanked him. Since that time he has worked with one or more of his Jffice windows open. One might con- clude froiwn this that the Government is not as vigilant as it might be in the matter of the health of Chief Executives. On the contrary, the opposite is true. Their physical well- | being is a matter of the greatest con- cern, Even so small an injury as a black eye is sufficient to cause the White, House physician to exert the greatest | care. Comdr. Joel T. Boone, personal| physician to the Hoovers, took hi# job very seriously when the President re- turned from a fishing trip with one a few weeks ago. He used all of his skill to return the eye to normal. It long has been a source of pride to the United States Navy that it has fur- nished most of the doctors to Presidents. As far back as President Roosevelt, Navy doctors have been chosen the greater part of the time for service at the White House. Only once in recent years has there been a President ill enough to require the attention of a physician constantly, and that was Woodrow Wilson. His physician, inherited from the Roosevelt- ‘Taft regime, pulled him through many a close illness. Admiral Grayson's name ever will be linked with that of Wood- row Wilson. President Harding broke the Navy tradition by bringing to Washington the personal physician of Mrs. Harding, whom he made a general in the Army. ‘When the Harding regime came to a close the Coolidges kept the same phy- sician. President Coolidge remarked dryly at the time the choice was made: “We are never ill.” However, when Dr. C. E. Sawyer into private practice again, an- other Army physician, Maj. James F. Coupal. took his place. His duties were light, however, for, true to President Coolidge’s prediction, he and Mrs. Cool- idge were never very {ll. When President Hoover came into office he sent Maj. Coupal back to the Army and called on the Navy. Comdr. Boone got the post. The White House is not the only branch of Government that is wedded to Navy physiclans. The House of Representatives has one always at hand. and members of the House make libergl use of his services. .

At the trial the wholesale house con- tended that the contract was invalid. as there was no corporation. seal affixed to the contract, The absence of a seal, they claimed, showed that the contract was made without au- thority and was, therefore, mot bind- ing on the corporation. Not being binding on ‘the corporation, it could not, therefore, be binding upon them. ‘The court, however, held the con- tract valid, stating: “A corporation may econtract with- out the use of its corporate seal to the extent that an individual may contract without a seal. “Four tests may be applied to de- termine the validity of corporate con- tracts.

With the Initial Advantages of Being His Wife and | Being Always Present, Any Clever Women Can Make Her Husband Fall in Love With Her by Catering to His Tastes. Can & Wife Win Her. Husband’s Love? Says She Has Four Factors in Her Favor | | 'OMAN asks this question: “If I marry a man who likes and admires me, { Wi A but.who is not romantically and passionately in love with me, what chance bave I of winning his love?” | i | .. Every chance, If you are a clever woman and know how to play the game. | | Not a chance if you are a Dumb Dora. It all depends unon your technique. | It is the popular belief that husbands are more than likely to fall out of love with their wives, but that they never fall in love with them. This is a mistake. Many a wife has fanned a feeble and fiickering flame of affection in & fickle husband's heart into a steady fire of devotion and multitudes of men wil tell you that they care more for their wives every day they live with them and that’ their wives are more necessary to their happiness, and that they love them [ better on their silver wedding day than they did on the day they were married. Of course, the woman who has a husband who has married on the sensible- | | match_platform has no magic that can change him into a thrilling and | impassioned lover, but not all men are born Romeos any more than they are | born with tenor voices. There are plenty of men Whose feet are so firmly planted | on the ground that it is impossible for them ever to soar off among the clouds. No emotion will ever quicken their heartbeats dangerously. No woman will ever | drive them to suicide. Nevertheless these sane and safe and stolid men, who have not a palpitation in their entire systems, are capable of a deep and abiding affection that will last long ‘after the poetry quoting philanderers have taken their wares to another shrine, and are singing their songs at another woman's feet, and so while a woman cannot turn the man she has married into a sheik, she can turn him into friend husband. The wife who wishes to win her husband's love has four big factors in her favor. To begin with, she has propinquity, which is universally acknowledged to be the greatest matchmaker in the world. Throw any two young people of average attractiveness together day mfter day and they are pretty sure to fall in love, or to think that they do. Look how many men marry their landladies’ daughters. Or the girl next door. Or the girls they work with. Or the girls who were at & house party. So the wife who wishes to vamp her husband starts off with the initial | advantage of being Sally-on-the-spot. Other women have to ply their arts at | long distance. She can work hers at close range where she can make every | stroke tell. Of course, marriage is supposed to disillusion a man with a woman. | If it does, that is her fault. She can be far more agreeable and entertaining and | charming and seductive as a wife than she was as a sweetheart. She can make him come to depend on her for his comfort, his pleasure, for the spice of life, so | that everything is flat, stale and ur_:prgnt:ble_ without her. THE next advantage that the wife who wishes to win her husband’s love has | is that she has his number to the last figure. and so knows how to plan her campaign. She knows his taste, his habits, his likes and dislikes, his faults and his foibles, his weaknesses and his strength. She knows whether to his heart or his head. | appeal to | She knows whether to attack his stomach with good dinners, or whether to | bring up her shock troops and capture his eyes with knee-length skirts and ! see-more_backs. She knows his individual taste in women and whether he | prefers clinging vines and morons, or good sports and high-brows. And, above | all, she has the priceless knowledge of where the sore spots in his vanity are, and | :herfle t‘u:lnm.n may, with most profit to herself, apply the healing ointment of | er flatteries, | Still another advantage that the wife has who wishes to win her husband’s love is that she is his wife. Many women hold that this is a disadvantage, and that the chief reason that men tire of their wives is simply and solely because | they are tied to those particular women, but this is a mistake. The mere fact | that a woman is & man’s wife and that he picked her out and that she re ‘l:llxh(‘:.l'e and judgment and is part of his possessions gives her a fictitio eyes. presents | us value | ‘The same halo is about her that surrounds his automobile, his radio, the | tailor he goes to. the clubs he belongs to. Every man you meet has the best car | in the world and that particular make has advantages that no other car has. | Every man’s radio has some peculiar excellence. Every man's tailor can bui'd a | flb;:xu;kw“ than any other and every man’s club is the only one just because And that is his attitude about his wife. He doesn't criticize her as he does other women. She doesn’t look as homely to him as she would if she was another. man’s wife. He isn't as much bored with her as he would be with Mrs. Somebody Else. His self-love throws its mantle of indulgence over her and | hides her blemishes, and so the husband’s egotism becomes the wife's ally. TFinally, the wife who wishes to win her husband’s love has the enormous ! advantage of a common interest. which is one of the strongest ties that can bind two human beings together. The woman of whom a man knows nothing and | with whom he must make polite conversation bores him to tears, no matter how brilliant she is, but he can talk on forever to the woman to whom he can say, “Do you remember,” and who has done the things that he has done and knows the people that he knows. | ‘Therefore, no woman can make herself such a fascinating companion as the wife to whom a. man can talk endless shop and who will hang enthralled upon his words because his hopes and plans and aspirations are hers. And no woman can make herself 5o dear to.a man as the woman who has folght side by side with him, who has wept with him and laughed with him and played with hm and worked with him and who is comrade, lover and wife all in one. Yes, a wife can win her husband’s love. (Copyright, 1929.) KEEPING MENTALLY FIT BY JOSEPH JASTROW. DOROTHY DIX. llnl. to put it mildly.

By overtrusting women's good qualities, by his generous leniency toward her weakness. This writer is convinced that women are not worth it. The point would make an interesting public debate and attract huge audi- ences; for who isn’t interested and who isn't judiced ‘one way or the other? ‘The question is this: Granted that men and women are comprehen- sively different, and nted that we must see these differences as they are, how shall we arfange the world 50 as to provide the best nities in it for the highest development of men as men and women as women, and for both as human beings? ‘The attitude and relations of men to women can never be the same as that of women to men.

MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS ‘There is perhaps no skin blemish that causes more discouragement and embar- | rassment to s larger number of girls| and boys than acne, commonly called pimplés. There are, of course, much more serious skin disorders, but none, I | think, so widespread. Seven different forms of acne are recognized by the well trained cos- | metician. The sort most often seen is called acne vulgaris and is a composite eruption of two or more lesions.

Daily bathing is also important. As a general rule, local treatments for acne should vary. A stimulating treatment may be given first to pro- mote the activity of the oil glands that have become clogged with their oil secretions.
