WOMAN’S PAGE Matching Gloves for Ensembles BY MARY HABSHAI-L. Gloves have become tremendously im- portant, _Pufe ‘white gloves of the 12 or 16 button length are worn for formal eve- gn' occasions and may be pulled up yward the eibow or allowed to sag down welltoward the wrist.

For morning wear to go with sleeved or sleeveless dresses the fairly long pull- on glove is often chosen,’ being drawn over the cuffs if the dress has sleeves. It is of washable beige suede. For more formal afternoon weir you may select finer suede in light beige tone to be worn wrinked at the wrist. Not often seen in this country, but de- cidedly smart in Prance are fairly long black suede gloves worn with sleeveless dress for restaurant wear i the evening. So important have gloves become in the eye of fashion that several of the important French dressmakers include specially selected matching gloves as part of their ensembles, the idea being that almost every t of dress needs a specially chosen p(yitf of gloves if the right effect in the ensemble is to be achieved. i 'rhel;lsm er cl.rcu:;n t.hlndvzekfl one g m pattern and direc- dansfll’or making one of the new velvet or cloth berets, which are so smart for informal street and sportswear, and the other a number of itemized lists of clothes and accessories needed by the girl going away to school or college.

On Taking Advice. ‘Text: “Every purpose is established ‘| by counsel: and with good advice make ‘war."—Prov. xx.18. ‘Advice is seldom welcome; and those who want it the most always like it the least,”” wrote Chesterfield. Says another, “We give advice by the bucket, but take it by the grain.” Many refuse to receive advice from others, because they think to do so would be an admission of inferiority. But he-who can take advice is some- times superior to him who can give it. Moreover, 8s Rochefoucauld writes, “There is nearly as much ability re- quired to know how to profit by udv;lce as to know how to aet for one's e 1t is foolish conceit to disregard any good advice, no matter from what source it comes, The worst of men often give wholesome counsel. A fop sometimes gives important advice. Even an enemy may impart counsel to which we would do well to give heed. No man is so wise but he may easily err, if he takes no other counsel than his . _“He that was taught onl: by himself had a fool for a mastel sald Ben Jonson. Certainly the man is foqlish who turns a_deaf ear to counsel from others. As Franklin sald: “They that will not be counseled can- not be helped. «If you do not hear Reason, she will rap your knuckles.” Instead of refusing good advice, we should seek it. It cannot be other than to our advantage to get all ¢he help we can through counseling with others. Well does Burke say: le who calls in the 'aid of an equal under- standing doubles his own; and he who profits by a superior understanding raises his powers to a level with the height of the superior understanding he unites with.” PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. Resuscitations o It is & sad commentary én the apti- tude of the medical ‘profession when the local fire department, ?uu or. pub- lic utilities crew takes charge of the business of resuscitation. .But, then, perhaps such performances happen only in Toonerville. K It has been proved over and over again that simple manual manipula- tion—that is, artificial respiration by the prone pressure method of Schaefer—is always efficient, and unless this first-ald treatment is administered immediately when the victim is rescued, death is likely to occur, anyway, before a ma- chine or.a crew of “experts”_to handle the machinery can be brought to the scene or the victim carried to the ma- chine. It would be only justice if any person who stands by and fails to apply Schaefer's method while awaiting the arrival of a machine or an “expert” in such an' emergency were jailed a year for contributory negligence in case the victim succumbs. g ‘Where these machines are available the public conscience is generally pretty flabby. Few citizens know how to apply this life-saving treatment in an emer- gency and few care to learn. They salve their consclence by hoping that if such an emergency happens to them or theirs the machine will be available in time to save life. * : ‘The Brooklyn Borough"&as Co., serv- ing, among other sections, Coney Island, maintains not & lung machine but an inhaler and a crew of men trained applying the Schaefer method, together with inhalations of 5 per cent carbon dioxide and oxygen mixture, as recom- mended. by Henderson. This is a fine example for other utility corporations and for municipalities where life saving is reckoned a public service. Prol. Henderson showed that such a mixture of carbon dioxide with oxygen or air not only stimulates breathing better than air or oxygen alone’ but greatly hastens the blowing off or elimi- nation through the lungs of various poisons .that may seriously impair or stop the breathing. But whether 5 per cent carbon diox- ide and oxygen or air mixture is avail- able or not, the breathing machine we have a right to employ in any case of asphyxiation from any cause is a pair of human hands directed by a mind with the intelligence of & normal 5- year-old child. i (Copyright, 1929.) BEAUTY “CHATS. . v sonaxbow v Long Lashes, Can any girl have long eyelashes? I think so. It does not take very much time to care for them, rub them with nlour!.shlng oils, keep them brushed and clean. If you powder your face, even lightly, your lashes will take up a lot of the powder. Being a little oily, the powder will cling to them. is isn't necessa- rily harmful, though it does mean that your lashes will cease to look glossy and thick. So, after you have powdered your face and are ready to go out, take the least bit of a nourishing cold cream be- tween your finger and thumb and rub the lashes with this. It cleans off the powder, makes the lashes shiny again and apparently much longer and thick-. er than they were. Besides, this thick, oily cream is good for them. ‘There are many alleged eyelash grow- ers on the market. I know of several which have no virtue at all. I can think of nothing better, on the whole, than ordinary castor oil, that most un- pleasant but beneficial dose of medicine. Castor oil darkens the hair ever so slightly and is quite niourishing, and is a valuable addition to many hair ton- ics. A little bottle of it lasts ages;.it can be used instead of cold cream and will be much better. Of course you kpow all about clip- ;;lnz the lashes to make them thicker. really believe in this; I think the lashes will benefit if the ends are clip- them seem thicker and to nourish them, they will surely grow while seehing always better than they are. Their glossiness will make them more promi- nent. And that means that the eyes will have more value in the face. H. H. D—Try. frequent applications of dampened baking soda on the brown spots at the sides of your throat. Some of powder will adhere to the skin for a long time-after the application has dried and partly dropped off, and this small amount will act as a gentle bleach, Sulphur may be used also on such spots, and if the soda does not complete the bleaching, applications of sulphur mois- :fmd with bay rum may be more effec- ve. Sue, M. X.—Sometimes superfluous hair weakens under frequent applica- tions of peroxide or a mixture of half peroxide and half ammonia of the household strength. No one can say how long a time it would take before one would be rid of the hair, or wheth- er this treatment would really kill the hair at all. It cannot hurt you, and there is a chance that you may be for- tunate enough to have this simple rem- edy effective- in your case. Whenever your skin feels very dry, stop the ap- plications: until it has recovered, for if you continued the abplications at that time your skin would soon be so tender that it would take a long time before l!nul could go back to the treatment again. 5 -Geraldine—It would be impossible for me to know what is in the cream you mentioned. Cocoa butter is used massage for parts of the body that need filling out. Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN. - Man’s Business and Woman’s. A professional man’s wife appeals to us for sympathy. She had begun al- most at once after her honeymoon to dictate to_ her husband his charges and who should be excluded from his list, of clients. Of course, friction de- veloped, and the man's clientele suf- el L. ‘We doubt if any woman can put her | ;¢ fingers into her husband’s business or profession and not bring them eout crushed or burned.

" THE-EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. WEDNESD One mother says: I wash baby’s jackets and the sweat- ers of the older children in the usual way, but instead of hanging up to dry or spreading out on papers, I put them in a clean pan and set in a warm place, as on top of the oven with a erate fire, and I frequently turn them and shake the pan. When, dry they are as soft and flufly as new garments and are not a bit out of shape.

Place dashes of paprika over the top and serve in a covered dish. v AUNT HET BY ROBERT QUILLEN. “It ain’t love that-makes a man so good to his second wife.

Fi- nally a select few were put to bed, and at night the Czar passed among them, carefully considering which beauty should become ‘“the woman,” as tradi- tion stated it, “worthy to be the sov- ereign’s delight.” ‘The custom in’ time became firmly established. But in 1670, in the reign of the Czar Alexis Mihallovitch, Nathalia Kirillovna Naryshkin made a farce of it. Czar Alexis at 38 had been left a widower. The 13 children his wife had given him included 5 sons, but 3 had died, and the survivors were sickly. It was his duty to marry again. While he was considering the matter in 1670 he visited the house of Artamon Slergueivitch Matvielef, his favorite counselor. At dinner his eye fell upon a young and beautiful brunette. She was the fair Nathalia. He ht ure and poor country gentleman, w] , be- cause of his favor at court, that he might find a suitable husband for her. “Yes,” said the Czar Alexis, thought~ full; t might be arranged.
