Personality and BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. In Summertime when the very air is redolent with flowers on plants, shrubs and trees, is the time when women have to be particularly careful in the use of perfume. The éxotic fragrance of some perfumes seems strangely out of place, while the scent of toilet waters o, i o 2 & if 3 s, Al v.";..

The associate professor of English at George Washington University has been chosen to teach the ways of Americans to a 10-year-old Siamese prince. The prince is a nephew of the King of Siam. He was sent to Washington \n the charge of the Siamese Minister o this country to learn to speak Eng- lish. The Minister turned him over to Mr. and Mrs. Robert W. Bolwell. Prof. Bolwell says the young prince is acquiring American ways rapidly. The other day he was invited to a birthday party to be given for an. other little Siamese boy. Six or eight of his fellow countrymen were present. The prince wanted to take a birth- day present to his host. Prof. Bolwell gave him a dollar to make the pur- chase. After the party he was asked what he bought. “Chew gum,” replied the prince. hole dollar worth.

They were es- pecially fond of it because they had never seen or heard of chewing gum One hundred yards of space in the corridors of the State Department have been converted into a picture gallery.

Perfume Variety blooming flowers, than which there is nothing sweeter. If a woman has her specially com- pounded perfume and never uses any other, she does well to omit its use at garden rties where masses of blooms will lend sufficient aroma. Or if she wishes to have a suggestion of the perfume about her, let the essence be used very sparingly.

There is a_delicacy of fragrance that comes from lingerie and handkerchiefs that are kept in containers or drawers with sachet bags and cases. Here again the refreshing element is found when taking out the articles. A good way to keep bureau drawers thus scented is to rinkle sachet wder between layers of wadding daintily cov- ered and used as a lining for the bot- tom of a bureau drawer. The perfume that comes from such containers elings with a faint insistence to articles near them. The use of perfumeries is delightful when aromas are suggestive rather #%1 overpowering. Instead of attracting to one's self pleasingly when heavy per- fume is noticeable, just the other re- sult is gained. Therefore use discre- tion about quantity as well as guality of perfumeries.

Chief Justice and Mrs. Taft have gone to Murray Bay, Canada, where they have had a Summer home for more than 30 years. Justice Sutherland and Mrs. Suther- land have chosen Burlingame, Calif., as a Summer retreat, and Justice and Mrs. Sanford chose Nantucket Island.

NANCY PAGE “Ring Around Rosy,” And All Had Seats. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Nancy and Lois were eating in a downtown tea room and began to com- ment on the way in which people rouped themselves at the tables. They ally drew diagrams of the way folks should seat themselves. They saw two gentlemen come in with two ladies. The waltress showed them to a round table. The two men sat side by side and the two women side by side. True, this gave each lady a gentleman on one side of her, but the table could better have been arranged so that each lady had a gentleman on each side. The top arrangement shows the diagram which Nancy drew. Then they watched another ‘group of six who were seated at an oblong table. Evidently it was & parfy. and the lady and gentleman wha, were en- tertaining had two husbands ‘&nd wives as_their guests. By seating them as sho: in the lower diagram it was possiblg:to do all these things which are socially correct: Have hostess and host at foot and head of table, respectively.

If we have any grouching to do about the plumber and his ways, we should aim it at the thick “sanitary” regulations that bandicap the plumber's honest inten- tions. Here is what T mean. T know a city of 40,000 population where for years the health officer has received a salary of $1,500 per annum for part-time serv- ice, but the plumbing inspector has re- ceived a salary of $1,800 per annum for part-time service. The citizens of this benighted community evidently believe the plumbing inspector’s job is the more essential for the protection of public health. If you can find any other an- swer for this conundrum you will confer a favor by enlightening me about it. A citizen of this quaint community planned to install in his residence a new-fangled contraption called a shower bath. The misguided man already had & bathroom the second floor of the house and a lavatory on the first floor. But’ some of the children had been away to college, and when they came back home they couldn't see the potato- bin style of bath that dad thought very fine. No, they wanted a , 80 dad said let there be a shower. Well, sir, here's where the plumber broke up the game. He was a blamed jumber, a regular family plumber, the kind you rely on to give you a square deal. Dad summoned the plumber to get the low down, as the college folk say, on the job. The plumber meas- ured and estimated. The price named was frightful. Dad was shocked. 1t wasn't at all like the old family plum- ber. How come? Well, the plumber pointed out, you see, it was necessary 1 to run a shaft or something up through the ceiling, floor and out upon the roof. quite expensive. The installation of the shower in the bathroom was only a small part of it. Father presently learned that the unm regulations of the town board of th were very strict about this. through the roof from. the bathroom, ‘There was already a vent pipe up but what did the health board care about that? Had to have another ven- tilator pipe to ventilate the shower bath. Father consulted his physician.

You can make sure of this outline by marking an attractive arch over your| eyebrows with a dark eyebrow pencil, plucking the hair that grow above of | low this line. This is not a bad| ides, because the expression of your | face changes with the change in the | shape of the eyebrows, and -you must have a becoming arch. | 1 your eyebrows are dark you can't | use a pencil, for it won't show suffi-| clently. In that case you must pluck all the hairs which grow very badly out of line first, and then use your judgment as to thinning the rest of the | eyebrows. Usually it's best to thin the eyebrows from underneath to make the arch as| high above the eyes as possible. This gives animation to the face, and gayety; eyebrows set in a straight line over the eyes give strength to the expressicn, but_gloominess.
