RTINS« ‘WOMAN'’S PAGE. Camp Clothes and Sports Fashions. BY MARY MARSHALL. When the Summer camp movement for girls first became generally popular 12 or 15 years ago, mothers looked with amazement and consternation at the camping clothes that their daughters were expected to wear exclusively at and narrower. Camp clothes, as pre- scribed by the important girls' camps, are made of substantial materials, but in general outline they are not so very different from the clothes that a girl would choose for sportswear at any re- sort. Certainly they are no briefer, no more comfortable, no more informal. Among the most useful additions to the late Summer sports outfit is the {new double-breasted yachting jacket that is worn buttoned smartly down the front or left hanging straight open | down the front. Made of navy blue | knitted material, it may be used as an adjunct for the sleeveless, low-back tennis frock or worn for actual yacht- ing or boating. Certainly there has been little liking for the longer skirt for sportswear this | Summer, and one wonders whether the | younger generation, who have worn sports clothes for almost all occasions all Summer, will take up with any sort of enthusiasm the fashion for longer skirts when it presents itself -in the Autumn. | drawers, | please send your | | ‘THIS REGULATION CAMPING DRESS OF NATUR.AL-COLORED& LINEN-FINISH COTTON IS WORN | WITH A RED LEATHER BELT. | camp. ‘These clothes usually showed | very little influence from the prevail- | ing fashions generally.

BEAUTY CHATS Burnished Hair. | 1t is a fairly simple matter for any Wwoman to .- What romancing writers describe as burnished hair. If you| want it for yourself you have only to follow these easy -directions. If your hair is blond, wash it every | week or every other week with warm | water and a lather of castile soap. The water should be soft, the castile soap liquid. You can make this for yourself by cutting & bar of castile in pleces and melting them in hot water. Use the lather twice, rinse and use either the juice of half a lemon in the final rinse water or a tablespoonful of peroxide. If the hair is naturally a lightish col- ored brown, almost but not quite gold, use a thin paste on it made of pow- | dered Egyptian henna. Rub this into the scalp hot, using either a small| orush to apply it or wearing rubber | gloves if you use your fingers. Let it stay on three to five minutes and then | shampoo and rinse in the ordinary way. If your hair is dark brown you can use this same method and the henna will give you attractive gold lights or | v therwise dead | brown. Neither lemon nor peroxide is | any good for brightening dark hair, | but the henna is perfectly harmless. And don't forget that an egg rubbed | into the scalp before the shampoo will make both light hair and dark richer and more colorful. | Every day the hair should be given ! ‘This week's home dressmaking help gives diagram pattern and working di- rections for the mnew step-in short It you would like & copy, stamped, self; dressed envelope to Mary Marshall, care of this paper, and we will send it to you at once. - (Copyright, 1929.)

This will do as much as the shampoo toward burnish- ing it and making it glossy. The best hairbrush to use is a plain wooden- back one with long, thick bristles. The kind I buy is a combination of hair bristles and something which the shop tells me is split horn. It is splits as fine as coarse bristle and makes the brush stiff enough to ve value as & massage as well as a cleansing the hair. Whatever brush you use should have bristles long enough and thick enough to go through the hair to the scalp. J. J.

G.—The henna shade will lighten with each day, =o it will not offend you in a few weeks as it does now. You cannot remove it from the hair with anything, and will just have to abide the time when all of it has bleached out. In the matter of dyed hair, or even with a coloring like hen- na, if you are not pleased with it, it is sensible to cut off as much as you feel you can spare, which will hasten the recovery of the hair's natural shade.

Make that control mys- terious, place the source of it in some te a spell The belief in spells is world-old and world-wide. Its most common in the evil eye, which happens to pre- vail in Italy. The idea is that some persons can bring disaster by giving you a dirty look. A similar belief prevails in the Orient, and protections against the evil eye are still made and sold in bazaars. The African belief in voodoo 1is more pares the spell by strange rites that make the influence deadly. It ap- proaches witchcraft. On the other hand, psychology rec- ognizes hypnotism, but not mystic power of the hypnotisi to compel you to do his bidding. If you are suggestible you readily yield to another, and if you can be thrown into a hypnotic condition your suggestibility is increased, you yield more easily. Throughout it is true that the spell works because you think it does. Destroy the belief and yot break the spell. ‘In this case that's the whole clue, though it might be hard to convince the writer of this letter that it is so. So long as she believes that he has this power, her resistance will be weak, and, his desire to influence strong. The spell affects her heart- strings more than her purse-strings. Whether you yield through suggestion or through fear, or a bit of both, it's the same process. ‘When thé spell is supposed to be cast by the dead it's a “haunt”: haunting is fear in the mind of the mind of the person haunted. Any strong emotion may produce the feeling of being haunted;. a guilty conscience will do it; just superstitious fear will do it. It goes back to that root source of malice or revenge which is attributed to the injured spirit. Many primitive people have ceremonies to prevent the avenging spirits of the departed from venturing; while fear of such revenge checks the desire to inflict injury. Bellef in spells and haunts survive in part of the belief in mystic powers pos- sessed by peculiarly endowed persons. When toned down to a belief in undue or irresistible influence exercised by an- other, in just the ordinary methods of persuasion, it becomes a conflict of wills. We all try to influence others and try | not to be unduly influenced by them, but we can't call upon spells and haunts to account for our failure or success. (Copyright, 1929.)

CRAIG. July 18, 1861—Fairfax Court House, Va., was occupied today by the Union troops, which marched from ‘Washing- ton yesterday under command of Gen. McDowell. Col. Burnside's brigade was first to enter the town, according to dispatches received here this afternoon. ‘This brigade . includes Maine, Rhode Island and New Hampshire regiments. Col. Burnside's troops marched along the Little River turnpike and reached the town about 11 o'clock this morning. They were delayed altogether about three hours by obstructions in the road left by the secession commander, Gen. Beauregard, such as pits, felled trees, etc. The most formidable of these ob- structions was in front of a position occupied by one of Beauregard's bat- terles. Nearby were recently extin- guished camp fires, indicating that a body of about 200 dis-Union troops spent lagt night_there. Gen. McDowell and his staff were with Burnside's brigade. Gen. Mc- Dowell pushed ahead and was first to enter the town of Fairfax Court House after the advance guard. The secession flag was found flying from the venerable courthouse. Nearly every white person of both sexes had fled from the town. Everything indi- cated that the last of the dis-Union troops had left only about two hours before the Union advance guard entered. Apparently the last of the dis-Union troops waited until they heard a signal gun fired by Gen. Tyler's Union col- Germantown. that their position at Fairfax Court House had been outflankéd on their left, and that it was time to leave tured or to fight against overwhelming numbers. Gen. Beauregard retreated in the di- rection of Manassas by way of Center- ville, where the secessionists have strong | entrenchments. Among the first acts of the Union troops was to take down the secession flag on the building so often visited by George Washington when he attended | court at his county seat. The Stars and Stripes were run up over the courthouse. Col. Heintzleman'’s command occupied Fairfax Station, about three and one-| half miles south of the courthouse.| about 6 o'clock this evening. He found entrenchments there which had been lately abandoned by the dis-Union troops. A part of Heintzleman's troops advanced two or three miles farther south along the Orange & Alexandria Railroad, half way to Union Mills. NANCY PAGE Mrs. Lacey Teaches Claire a Hard Lesson. When Claire Lacey came home from her shopping expedition she brought with her a light, almost pearl gray, felt hat. It was really a lovely thing, but not suited for the rough and tumble kind of life which Miss Claire still lived. Her mother pointed out the unsuit- ability of the hat and Claire pouted, | “You expect me to go around like a | little sissy in black straw hats with systematic and pre- | | brims and streamers. The girls I go | with don’t wear that kind and I'll stay | home before I'll wear the hats you pick u “No, Claire, you are wrong. I have no objection to your wearing the hats that you want, only this hat will have to be worn every day and I am afraid it will get so dirty you will be ashamed to be seen in it. If you dii not scorn the hat I picked out for you for every day you could keep this for Sunday and I think then your choice would be excellent. But keep the hat hung up when you are not wearing it and it may [ keep clean longer than I think.” |~ Claire had the grace to be ashamed [ ot her tirade. But she did not keep | her hat hung up. It rolled round the | floor, getting dirtier by the minute. Finally her mother said, “If I pick that hat up again, Claire, I will take it away from you. You must learn to be tidy.” For three days the hat stayed hung up and then the day be- fore the school picnic Mrs. Lacey found it on the floor. She put it away.

P. At 15, Andrew Jackson knew war and the horror and grimness of war. Circumstances and instinct made him a fighter. Son of Scotch-Iris immigrants, he was an orphan and penniless, He had courage in his blood, and pride, and he was hot tem- pered and sensitive. No one could make him look ridiculous. - One day a gang of boys loaded a gun | with a charge much larger than usual. “There comes Andy Jackson,” some one said. “Let him fire it off and get knocked flat.” o Little Andy was overjoyed to fire the gun. Sure enough it kicked him flat on the ground. But the plotters en- joyed no laugh. As quickly as he had gone down, Andy leaped to his feet, his eyes dart- ing fire, his face twisted with anger. “If one of you laughs, I'll kill him,” he_swore. They ail kept straight countenances— even the boys who were much bigger than Andy. He was a terror when mad. He was 9 years old when the Revolu- tionary War burst upon the Carolinas. Andrew’s elder brother, Hugh, fought at the battle of Stono and died of fatigue and exposure. By 1780 the regular trrops had trans- ferred their activities farther north. In the Waxhaws region of South Carolina, where dwelt Andrew Jackson, the. fight- ing was continued by bands of bush- whackers. Fourteen-year-old Andy Jackson and his remaining brother, Robert, joined a Whig band. A patrol of dragoons from The Sidewalks There are very few people in the city who are not affiliated with some organization, social, commercial or fraternal. Some of these organizations are more or less obscure, though none | the less important in the lives of | those who devote mental energy to thelr welfare. | ‘There are Monday morning clubs, and | Tuesday afternoon clubs, and Friday evening clubs, each of which plays| a part in the lives of persons who| might socially starve without it.

But a Tory neigh- b(]fl’ promptly betrayed their hiding place. ‘The dragoons who now captured them took them before their commanding officer, a subaltern. When he saw that his gflsonefl were two mere boys, he laughed contemptuously. Andy Jackson, facing for ‘the first time a representative of his majesty | George III, was chargrined but defiant. With Robert he waited for the worst, which he expected would be execution. He was astonished when the officer spoke. It was to say superciliously: “There are my jack-boots spattered with mud. Clean them.” Andy Jackson, his thin frame shak- ing with anger, exploded. “We'll see you in hell first,” he shrilled. The Britisher lost his head and swung a saber blow at the boy. Andy's left hand flew up, but too late. From that day he carried a great scar across his head. A blow felled Robert to the floor. Bleeding, half stunned, the boys were carried off to Camden and thrust into prison; a dismal place where food was lacking and smallpox reigned. By the time they were freed through an ex- change of prisoners, Robert was dying and Andy was desperately ill. Already the iron that was to make him a stern, unbending man had sunk into his soul.

Text: “Ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto."—Deut. xii.7. “Many a good piece of work is done with a sad heart,” said George Eliot. Matthew Arnold embodies the same thought in these lines: “Tasks in hours of insight willed May be in hours of gloom fulfilled.” There are many who are compelled to go to their work with sad and heavy hearts; yet they work faithfully ‘and efficiently and do good work. But, as a general rule, the joyful worker isthe best worker. As another writes, “There is nothing more unfavorable to efficient or successful work than despondency or sadness. A joyless workman is sel- dom a good workman: he does not work vigorously, he has no pleasure in his work, and consequently he is very likely to tire of it.” Light-heatredness makes one's work a delight instead of drudgery.

For in the frosty white- ness of its petals is something of the purity of Springtide; yet in its strange arrow-shaped leaves, of a dark and glossy green, is a hint, I know not why, | of something more than a little tropi- and certainly very €éummery and opulent. I have never seen any one bother to pick the flowers of the arrowhead: I | have not seen it planted in water gar- | dens; I never have read a poem ex- tolling it. To me it is one of the loveliest of our wildflowers, and that it springs from thé mud enhances the glistening purity of its petals. 1 think I am right in stating that the rootstocks of some species of arrowhead were eaten by the Indians, but I am far from suggesting that anybody repeat the experiment rashly. I believe it is also correct that the arrowhead be- longs to a very ancient type of flower, commoner perhaps when much of the world was a steaming marsh, #nd na- ture had just begun to experiment in flowers, and so far had made only . simple forms.
